Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

In an instant, they were unable to move, and the spiritual energy in their bodies quickly drained away like a flood, along with their vitality. Their skin became shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, their hair quickly turned white, and their faces were covered with wrinkles.

"Those venerable ones..."

The monks outside the ruins looked at the sky in fear and instinctively began to retreat. They looked at the trapped venerables with eyes full of despair and fear, as if they saw their own future.

Far in the sky, the mysterious bone tower was still hovering in the center of the sea of ​​fire, but countless energy threads were released from its body, and the other ends of these energy threads were wrapped around the bodies of a Venerable. At this moment, these seemingly insignificant threads were emitting dazzling bright light, and they were like greedy vampires, constantly absorbing the life essence of a group of Venerables.

"It's still too careless!"

"That's good, we all have a companion on the road."

"That's true. Anyway, the catastrophe is coming and we can't escape it."

……

The venerables were unable to move. With their cultivation level, they naturally understood that they had become the nutrients of the mysterious bone tower. At this moment, the Nine-headed Lion, the Sky-splitting Demon Butterfly, the Fire Emperor and others seemed to be no longer afraid of life and death, with a relieved smile on their faces, as if they had become indifferent to life and death.

"You brought this upon yourselves!" In the sky, the bone tower trembled, and the voice was filled with mockery and disdain.

"They are just trying to find a way to survive."

At the same time as the ethereal voice of the bone tower sounded, another calm voice sounded in the sky. That voice was like a clear spring, bringing a trace of peace to people in this atmosphere full of fear and despair.

Then, in everyone's sight, two figures appeared in the sky, one big and one small. Jiang Han and Little Bit came stepping forward, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart. Jiang Han looked indifferent, exuding an aura of transcendence; Little Bit followed closely behind him, his eyes full of curiosity and determination.

Jiang Han arrived at the battlefield, waved his sleeves, and ripples surged out like waves. Wherever the ripples passed, the energy strands released by the bone tower dissipated instantly, as if they had never existed.

"Who is he?"

"I have seen him outside. He came with the Stone Emperor."

"Even if all the venerables united together, they would not have any power to resist this mysterious bone tower. And he alone was able to break the attack of the mysterious bone tower. Could it be that he has surpassed the venerables?"

"No wonder the Stone Emperor was so polite to him at that time!"

……

Instantly, everyone's eyes were cast on Jiang Han and Xiaobudian, with astonishment between their brows. They looked at Jiang Han as if they were looking at a mythical figure, their eyes full of awe and confusion.

"It's him!"

After regaining their freedom, the Nine-Headed Lion, Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly, Fei Yi and other venerables looked at each other and stared at Jiang Han in shock. Their bodies trembled slightly, and their hearts were filled with shock and fear. In their opinion, Jiang Han's strength was simply unfathomable, far beyond their imagination.

The Fire Emperor and the three venerables behind him were also shocked, but not as exaggerated as the Nine-Headed Lion. After all, before entering Baiduan Mountain, they learned from the Stone Emperor that this man was an old monster who had lived for ten thousand years. But now that they saw it with their own eyes, they truly felt the horror of Jiang Han.

As for the four great surviving species, Qiongqi, Zhuque, Tianque, and Zhuyan, there was no trace of shock on their faces, as if everything was reasonable. They looked at Jiang Han with a hint of awe in their eyes, as if they had already determined how powerful Jiang Han was.

"Senior, you are back." Shi Huang, You Wang and others looked pale and bowed to Jiang Han, secretly rejoicing in their hearts. Fortunately, they came here this time and invited this senior, otherwise they would have gone to see the King of Hell just now.

"Who are you!"

In the sea of ​​fire, the bone tower sank and shook, removing the surrounding mist, becoming more and more dazzling, crystal clear and almost transparent, with a frightening wave spreading. The wave was like an invisible pressure, which made everyone breathless.

"Does knowing my origin mean anything to you?" Jiang Han spoke with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes. Instead, they were full of vigilance.

Boom!

The bone tower stopped talking and exploded directly, like a meteorite across the sky, like a scorching sun compressed to the extreme, and instantly arrived in front of Jiang Han. The powerful airflow impacted the surrounding space, making a piercing whistle.

Almost at the same time, Jiang Han stretched out five fingers and stretched them forward, and white light bloomed in his palm. The white light was pure and powerful, as if it contained the purest power between heaven and earth.

Snapped!
With a clear sound, the sky was suddenly filled with white, and even the sea of ​​fire disappeared from everyone's sight. The terrifying power exploded and spread in the white light, forming a huge energy storm that swept across the entire Baiduan Mountains. The trees in the mountains were uprooted, and the rocks were crushed into powder; countless souls of the dead flew out from the ruins and circled in the sky, wailing non-stop, as if wailing for this horrific battle.

In the distant sky, the aftermath of the terrifying collision was like a surging black wave, carrying the breath of destruction, sweeping towards the monks watching the battle below. Just as everyone was in despair, a layer of sky curtain as thin as a cicada's wing but emitting soft light appeared across the sky. As the light flowed, the aftermath dissipated as soon as it touched it, as if it was quietly swallowed by some mysterious power.

When the white light gradually dissipated, everyone squinted their eyes and barely saw the scene in the sky. They were instantly as if they were bound by a spell and their expressions were stunned. They saw that the bone tower, which was so imposing and looked like a meteorite from outer space, was now held in Jiang Han's palm. The sea of ​​fire that had been raging in the sky also disappeared without a trace. Only a faint smell of burning remained in the air, telling of the fierceness of the battle just now.

"Has the senior tamed the mysterious bone tower?" The Stone Emperor, King You and other venerables stood still, staring at the bone tower in Jiang Han's palm, their eyes full of disbelief, as if they were still in a dream.

Buzz!

The bone tower suddenly trembled violently, and the sound coming from inside was like a huge bell, which made everyone's eardrums hurt. A brilliant and dazzling light shot up from the top of the tower and pierced the sky. The next moment, the sky seemed to be split by a giant axe, and a huge gap appeared. The red magma in the gap was like an angry dragon, roaring and gushing out. The magma was wrapped in suffocating pressure, and runes flashed in the surging flames, forming a series of hideous faces, pouring down towards Jiang Han.

Facing this seemingly doomed scene, Jiang Han remained motionless, with a smile on his face. He calmly extended a finger and gently pointed at the void. In an instant, time seemed to stop and space began to distort. The magma that was originally rushing like a river seemed to be bound by invisible shackles and solidified in the air. Then, with a series of teeth-grinding "crack, crack" sounds, the magma actually shattered like glass, turning into sparks that dissipated into nothingness.

Buzz! The bone tower screamed unwillingly, and the sound seemed to come from the depths of the soul, shaking everyone's heart. A dark and terrifying aura spread from the top of the tower, spreading rapidly like a tide to the entire Baiduan Mountains. The grass and trees withered instantly, and the ground cracked into countless bottomless gullies. Everyone felt their legs go weak and they knelt on the ground involuntarily.

Violent!
Thousands of rays of light burst out from the top of the bone tower, and in the horrified eyes of the crowd, they condensed into a huge True Phoenix that covered the sky and the sun. As the wings of the True Phoenix fluttered, the sky and the earth changed color, and the infinite light was as dazzling as the scorching sun. With a roar that resounded through the sky, the True Phoenix opened its huge mouth, and blazing flames gushed out like a volcanic eruption. Wherever it passed, the space was burned and distorted.

"Don't waste your energy." Jiang Han's voice was as calm as a deep pool, without any ripples. Before he finished speaking, a large hand formed by the ripples of space appeared out of thin air. With a gentle squeeze, the True Phoenix that was swooping down with great momentum was instantly crushed into a dough twist like a fragile piece of paper, and finally dissipated into nothingness.

"Humph! If it hadn't been damaged and my cultivation was less than halfway, how could I have fallen into your hands!" The bone tower roared angrily, and the tower body shook violently, continuously releasing terrifying energy fluctuations. But no matter how it struggled, it was like a trapped beast in Jiang Han's palm containing the power of space, unable to break free.

"Your cultivation has dropped to less than half, how do you know that my strength is at its peak?" Jiang Han's lips curled up into a mysterious smile, and his fingers gently stroked the bone tower as if he was playing with an exquisite toy.

"I haven't seen you." There was doubt in the Bone Tower's voice, and it gradually stopped trembling.

"The era when I showed my brilliance is much longer than the era you have experienced." Jiang Han looked into the void at a 45-degree angle, his eyes deep and distant, as if he had traveled through endless years.

"Are you planning on me?" Guta's tone was full of vigilance.

"I need you to protect him as he grows." Jiang Han pointed his finger gently at the little guy, his eyes full of love, "In exchange, I can help you fuse the other half of the tower."

Hearing this, the bone tower trembled violently, and the tower body shone brightly. After a long time, a ray of light fell on the little guy, as if carefully looking at this future "master".

"You have assigned me a difficult task!" There was a hint of helplessness in Guta's voice, "I accept this deal!"

"You made the right choice." Jiang Han smiled and nodded. The moment he opened his palm, the bone tower flew to the little one's head like a spirit bird and steadily turned into an exquisite tower hat. The little one touched the bone tower on his head excitedly, his eyes full of curiosity and joy.

"He really conquered that mysterious bone tower!"

"A supreme treasure! How envious!"

"When you have such a level of cultivation, you will be able to subdue the supreme treasure. But in my opinion, you will only stay in the cave heaven in this life."

……

Outside the ruins, countless monks looked at Jiang Han with respect and envy in their eyes. They whispered to each other, talking a lot, and looked at Jiang Han as if they were looking up to a god.

"Senior, do you know the origin of this tower?" Shi Huang, You Wang, Qian Xi Zunzhe and others came to their senses and hurried to Jiang Han's side, respectfully pointing at the bone tower on the little guy's head. The Nine-headed Lion, Fei Yi, and the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly also came over, their eyes full of confusion.

"Is this how much you mortals want to know about me? You are not qualified to know!" The bone tower suddenly trembled violently, and a voice full of sarcasm and disdain came out. Upon hearing this, the faces of the venerables instantly turned red. Although they were angry in their hearts, they could only dare not speak when they thought of the horrible experience just now, and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I have completed my mission and am ready to leave. Do you want to go with me?" Jiang Han turned his gaze to Shi Huang.

"Senior, did you come here for this tower in the first place?" Shi Huang asked cautiously.

"Yes." Jiang Han answered concisely without hiding anything.

"Senior, you and Hao'er should go back first. The catastrophe is approaching, and I would like to look for another opportunity." Shi Huang exchanged glances with King You and others, and then bowed respectfully to Jiang Han.

"It's up to you." Jiang Han nodded slightly, waved his sleeves, and ripples appeared in the space. He and the little figure disappeared into the void like a dream.

The next moment, a group of venerables could not wait to search for various treasures in the ruins again.

"If the great catastrophe you are talking about comes and you are unable to resist, you can come to the Wuwang Mansion and I will ensure your safety."

Just as everyone was concentrating on chasing after the treasure, a cold voice echoed in the sky like thunder. The Fire Emperor, the Nine-Headed Lion, the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly and all the other venerables were stunned at first, and then their faces blossomed with ecstasy.

"Did you hear that?"

"Is there really a way for him to escape the catastrophe?"

"Since he dares to say so, he must be able to do it!"

……

Everyone cheered excitedly, and hope rekindled in their eyes. After calming down, their pace in pursuit of the treasure became even faster, as if the catastrophe was no longer a threat.

The monks outside the ruins looked at the sky with doubts, and speculated fiercely about the meaning behind these words. This story about the mysterious bone tower and the catastrophe also set off new waves in the Baiduan Mountains...

After leaving the Baiduan Mountains, Jiang Han devoted all his energy to teaching Little Bit to practice. Little Bit was gifted, and under Jiang Han's careful cultivation and the nourishment of precious natural materials and treasures, he successfully opened up eight caves in just half a month, and his practice speed was shocking.

The peaceful days passed in a flash. On the eighteenth day, a loud bang like thunder rang out, shaking the entire wilderness. In an instant, the heaven and earth seemed to tremble, and everyone's body shook uncontrollably, as if they had experienced a sudden earthquake.

Everyone looked up in horror, only to see that the originally clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, and the daylight seemed to have fallen into dusk. In the dark clouds, nine-colored thunder and lightning roared continuously, and chaotic energy surged and permeated. The terrifying aura was like a mountain pressing down on the top of the head. The entire sky groaned under this pressure, as if it was about to break. (End of this chapter)
