Chapter 579 Headless Du Yun, A Twist of Fate! (10,000 words)

The Mind Space, the Temple of Shadows.

With a "whoosh," letters fluttered out from the endless wall of cabinets, rising and falling like snowflakes.

The man in black robes stood at the palace gate, picked up a piece of intelligence, and fell into deep thought.

He obtained a piece of crisis intelligence related to Zhao Xing, and the contents were quite astonishing.

But he didn't know how to send it out.

Because three Zhao Xings appeared in the Wasteland 342 epochs ago, and even he couldn't tell the real one from the fake one.

Since it's impossible to distinguish between true and false information, it's not advisable to send out this intelligence about the crisis.

If the wrong item is delivered, it will not help the customer, but rather harm them.

"stop!"

The man in black robes shouted, and the entire mental space seemed to freeze. The river of letters stopped flowing and floated in the air.

The black-robed figure opened the floor beneath his feet and jumped down, falling layer by layer until he finally landed on a grassy field.

A wall stands on the wide meadow, similar to the wall used on the upper level, except that this one is very small, with only thirty-two sections.

"Gah gah, the black-robed one has arrived."

"Black Robe, why did you come down?"

"The man in black robes only comes down when there's something difficult to deal with. Have you forgotten?"

"Black robe, black robe, hello there."

"Long time no see, um... how long has it been?"

"Brother Hei."

"..."

Different voices emanated from the thirty-two hidden compartments, chattering and mingling together.

The man in the black robe waved the paper in his hand: "Gentlemen, I've encountered a problem."

“I have a crisis intelligence report for a client, but the client has been impersonated, and I can’t tell the difference.”

"Whoever is interested, please take care of it."

While the man in black robes was speaking, the cabinet fell silent, but after he finished, it started chattering again.

"Can't tell the customer apart? The customer has been impersonated? Hey, that's new, I'll handle it!"

"Do you even know what it is? Then deal with it. You're just a martial artist, get out of here."

"Can't distinguish the client from the perspectives of soul, body, and mind? That must be a very sophisticated form of illusory magic."

"Not only that, it probably also incorporates real magic, the physician's flesh and blood replication method, and perhaps even the positional substitution of the Qi Luck Divine Method."

"So troublesome? Then we'll have to ask Seventh Madam to take action."

"Seventh Madam, are you still there?"

"Seventh Madam."

At first, the voices inside the cabinet chattered amongst themselves, each saying their own thing, but eventually they came together and called out to the Seventh Madam.

Kaka~
The man in the black robe looked at the seventh cabinet at the very top, when suddenly a sound was made, and then the cabinet slowly opened.

With a "whoosh," the intelligence in the black-robed man's hand suddenly floated away, then opened automatically, as if an invisible hand was flipping through it.

The man in black robes then nodded repeatedly, seemingly conversing with someone, but no sound came out.

A moment later, the intelligence returned to the black-robed man's hands.

wow~
The Seventh Madam's cabinet shrank back again, but another cabinet underneath opened, with a label on it that read: Coachman.

"Black Robe, what did the Seventh Madam say?"

"In the 342nd century before the end of the Desolate Region, there were god-kings fighting. Some wanted to make a few things into established 'major events,' while others wanted to change or make up for some things."

"Seventh Madam helped me determine where to send the intelligence."

"Black Robe, remember to let us have a look at the excitement," the coachman shouted.

"We love watching the excitement!" the other cabinets chimed in.

The man in black ignored the voices and quickly left the meadow.

…………

The Thousand Feathers' Silent Extinction Realm, beside the Feather Transformation River.

Zhao Xing snapped out of his daze.

He actually encountered a fake Qingyuzi's message, and even heard two other 'selves' responding.

"Both are imposters... no, one of them should be a fragment of my soul."

"Are there really fakes that can be so convincing that even I can't tell the difference?"

"Could it be a spell cast by the Nihilistic History Party?"

Zhao Xing suddenly thought of many things.

"This is too incredible. It can even make cause and effect disappear."

"If historians aren't respected, how can they be entertained?"

If the Ancestral Emperor's Tablet, a fictional historical artifact, was still within the realm of reasonable magic, then the fact that the object of the forgery was now himself felt like something out of heaven.

"Wait, these two voices are different, one loud and one soft. Does that mean I'm very close to the imposter?" Zhao Xing remembered that when Lao Qing sent him a message, the content was intermittent because of the distance.

When they are very close, they are very clear.

From what he had just witnessed, he deduced that he was very close to the imposter, perhaps even within the Thousand Feathers Great World.

"Assuming the person impersonating me is in the Thousand Feathers Great World, then Du Yun should be with him as well," Zhao Xing pondered.

"We'll find out what the conspiracy is once we find Du Yun and arrest the imposter."

Zhao Xing decided to leave immediately and go find the hiding place of Du Yun and the imposter.

They dared to do this based on their strength.

Before receiving Yu Heng's inheritance, Zhao Xing's combat power was comparable to that of a mid-stage Divine General. Now that he has received Yu Heng's inheritance and has many treasures by his side, he is not afraid even if he encounters a peak-level Free Divine General.

The imposter may be very powerful, but surely he can't be a god of the level of the Free God King or the Boundless True God impersonating him?

"Thousand-Thread Fruit!"

Zhao Xing activated the Forced Drive of Cause and Effect Technique, extracting the causal threads related to Du Yun from his own life palace.

This is a spell that Bovi taught him; it can be used to find people.

If Du Yun were in this time and space, not far apart, then he could find the other party by following this thread.

"Whoosh~"

The interlacing gold and red lines flew south along the void towards the Feather River, as if contracting. Upon seeing this, Zhao Xing immediately followed.

A hill rose from the black desert, and Yi Ren, dressed in purple robes with cloud patterns, flew out. A stone chair materialized on the dune, and Yi Ren waited quietly.

A sand well formed not far away, connecting to the underground palace below. Wisps of golden smoke rose from it, which was formed from the essence of Du Yun's tribulation.

Yi Ren has multiple missions on this trip, and the one he is currently carrying out is to capture the Celestial Beast that escaped from a certain independent spacetime territory.

And we must make the 'abduction' a major event that cannot be shaken.

Killing Du Yun and bleeding him out is another task, which is linked to capturing the Heavenly Beast.

Du Yun cultivated the "Eating Calamity Method" created by the Ancestor of the Void. Here, he devoured the divine power of many ancient gods, and his calamity marrow and calamity bones have transformed to a very high quality.

Therefore, Du Yun's flesh and blood possessed a magical effect: the Beast God had a deadly allure.

Killing Du Yun under Zhao Xing's identity could achieve multiple purposes, but Yi Ren was unclear about the specifics.

All he knew was that the great god who had commanded him to come had seen many gods before arriving, each one incredibly powerful, each capable of making Yiren tremble.

While waiting, Yi Ren received another instruction: "Zhao Xing, come and meet me in Shanshui City."

“Shanshui City?” Yi Ren frowned slightly. “Divine Lord, why do we need to meet in Shanshui City? Shanshui City is quite far from the Black Sand Domain.”

"Don't ask so many questions, just come over here quickly."

"Trying to fool me? Not so easy!" Yi Ren sneered, extinguishing the thought.

However, after waiting for a while, Yi Ren still set off. He stopped bleeding Du Yun and then quickly left the Black Sand Domain.

The reason is simple: the last sentence is a code, actually meaning 'I will go'.

……

Outside the Thousand Feathers Great World, beyond 30,000 World Yuan Units, in a transparent cube, Qing Yuzi, Wu Zhao, Pang Guang, Lu Ya, Yan Ao, Lan Chuan, Bo Gang, and General Nangong gathered together.

Nangong Shenjiang held a book, and Qingyuzi's hand rested on the book. The two of them and the book emitted a faint blue light, and their figures switched between illusion and reality.

The two people and the book were surrounded by a transparent dome, with tiny sparks emanating from the book.

The others held their breath and waited quietly outside the enclosure.

Nangong Shenjiang is a historian and a top-tier Shenjiang.

It was sent by the Temple of Reincarnation to assist them, and it had also received guidance from the Moon Goddess Palace Master.

Soon, Qingyuzi and Nangong Shenjiang opened their eyes.

"How is it?" General Wu Zhao asked hurriedly.

“We didn’t fool them.” General Nangong said in a deep voice, “But it wasn’t a complete waste of effort either. Through Junior Brother Qingyu, we learned that this imposter’s location should be in the Black Sand Domain of the Thousand Feather Great World.”

Truth and falsehood are intertwined; the falsehood is real and the truth is faked. They will repay you with their own methods.

Just now, General Nangong used the same secret method to enable the real Qingyuzi to contact the fake Zhao Xing.

"Then Du Yun must be nearby!" General Pang Guang exclaimed with delight upon hearing this.

“No.” General Lan Chuan shook his head and said, “Since we didn’t fool them, then this location in the Black Sand Domain may not be real. It might be a trap.”

"What do you all think?" asked General Wu Zhao.

“Whether it’s true or not, it’s still a clue,” Qing Yuzi said first. “We should send someone to the Black Sand Region to check things out.”

"Whether it's a trap or not, even if you get into a fight, it's a good thing to suffer a small loss."

"That's right, I agree." Qing Yuzi's words immediately garnered support from many people.

"Once you engage in combat, there is a cause and effect connection. You can always glean some information about how many evil gods have come, how much power they have, and what their purpose is."

“We have the Heavenly Palace’s Destiny Chart, and the Empire has also provided a variant of the Great Evolution Divine Weapon, which can assist in the deduction.”

“If we don’t go, then we’ll get nothing,” General Jie Luo also spoke up.

"Since we're here to investigate, we need to send people with strong survival skills; we can't send too many."

"To avoid a shortage of manpower on other battlefields."

The Great World rejects the external origin, and even gods cannot cross realms with a single thought within it, and their ability to act is greatly weakened, not to mention that the Thousand Feather Great World is in a period of annihilation.

When Qingyuzi first entered the Great World of Yanyi, it was with the help of the Five Seasons Pharmacy that he received medicine and acupuncture, and stayed there for one or two hundred years before he was able to move freely.

"Wu Zhao, Yan Ao and I are going!" said the little yellow duck on Yan Ao's shoulder.

Lu Ya's tone was very firm, seemingly leaving no room for negotiation, because Zhao Xing was a source of pain for him.

The betrayal of General Xu Feng and General Ruo Xi at Bai Feng Pavilion was due to the bewitching of an evil god.

Subsequently, Zhao Xing was also bewitched by the evil god and left.

Lu Ya deeply despises evil gods.

He used to enjoy fighting evil gods simply because he thought they tasted good, but now there are some additional reasons.

"Should we send more..." Bo Gang had just started to speak when he was silenced by Lu Ya's glare.

He suddenly realized that his words had caused Lu Ya to misunderstand, and that he was just reopening Lu Ya's wounds.

But Wu Zhao, as the leader, had more to consider: "Lu Ya, you are the fastest among us and can ignore the rejection of the Nirvana Realm. You can be used to put out fires, and you can't just be transferred away like this."

"Send Palace Master Di Jun and General Xinghuo to them."

Di Jun is from the Temple of Reincarnation, while Starfire General is from the Empire.

Di Jun is also a ferocious beast. Although he is not as strong as Lu Ya, he can still resist the rejection of the Annihilation Realm.

Starfire God General has many tricks up his sleeve. Even when his true form is suppressed, he can still unleash considerable combat power because he is the God of Mechanized Warriors and brought many heavyweight artifacts from the Empire.

In addition, the Starfire General himself is skilled in infiltration and assassination, and the Empire's Starfire organization is engaged in intelligence work.

“Alright, then Di Jun and I will go.” Starfire General grabbed Di Jun, and the starlight burst into a large amount of flames. Then the flames collapsed inward, and Di Jun disappeared into the pure white cube.

The Thousand Feathers Silent Realm, the border of the Black Sand Domain.

Using the magic of the Silk-Pulling Fruit, Zhao Xing followed the guidance and arrived at a black desert.

"The causal threads are closing even faster; it seems Du Yun is in the Black Sand Domain."

Upon arriving at the destination, Zhao Xing actually slowed down.

Because he didn't know if there was a powerful evil god next to Du Yun.

The Black Sand Domain is considered a dangerous place in the Thousand Feather Annihilation Realm, and it is one of the places with the strongest suppression of life outside this realm.

"Yuan Tengxian, possess me!"

Zhao Xing opened his inner world, and two seven-colored vines quickly burrowed under his skin, covering his entire body.

After mastering the secret technique of the God King Yuheng, Zhao Xing possessed the body of the Yuan Teng Immortal and stepped into the Black Sand Domain again, where he felt no sense of suppression.

The egoist agricultural sector ignores the harsh environment!

"You little brat! Put your body on me!"

Zhao Xing's nostrils twitched as he inhaled another batch of parasitic worms.

At this moment, his soul realm soared to the late stage of the Divine General realm, while his divine body reached the mid-stage of the Divine General realm under the symbiotic relationship with Yuan Tengxian.

"The Shadowless Netherworld Technique!"

Zhao Xing concealed his traces while simultaneously shrinking the world projection into his palm. A piece of land vaguely appeared in his palm, and the plant army was ready to go.

This is another divine king secret technique that Zhao Xing has mastered after the willpower secret technique Source Heart Tree, the soul secret technique Withered Wood God, and the legion secret technique Myriad Phenomena Universe - World in the Palm.

"The World in My Palm can ensure that I can open it in time during battle and release my plant army."

"Moreover, it involves spatial pathways and is a targeted deployment. The location where plant troops appear is no longer centered on me, but on the enemy."

Once they appear, the plant army surrounds the enemy, eliminating the need for Zhao Xing to manipulate the world projection to change the position and layout of the plant units.

Having made thorough preparations, Zhao Xing took a deep breath, stepped into the Black Sand Domain, and quickly traversed it.

The closer the causal line is to the edge, the faster it converges and the brighter it becomes.

After Zhao Xing entered the Black Sand Domain, Du Yun's location was very clear in his eyes.

The thousand-thread fruit of the Bowei religion, when used at this time, is a guiding light.

Zhao Xing walked cautiously and not very fast, thinking it would take him some time to find it.

In less than two hours, the Thousand-Thread Fruit found its target.

"Huh? It went so smoothly?"

As soon as Zhao Xing landed, he carefully sensed the surroundings and discovered that Du Yun was a thousand miles away underground, enveloped by an underground palace.

"Is this the Spirit Realm Underground Palace Technique of the Primordial Hill?"

Zhao Xing immediately became alert.

The Spirit Realm Underground Palace Technique of the Ancient Hill is a rather precious spell. The Earth God King used this technique to test the mountain lords.

This technique can only be learned by those who have served as mountain leaders. Even if you become a divine general later, you will not be able to learn it if you have not served as a mountain leader.

For example, Mengchuan Shenjiang is a god-general level in Taigu Hill, but because he has never been the leader of a mountain, he is not qualified to learn this technique.

But here, the Spirit Realm Underground Palace Technique appears?

Finding Du Yun too easily made Zhao Xing suspicious that there might be a trap ahead of him.

Seeing the Spirit Realm Palace made Zhao Xing realize that there was a deep conspiracy involved.

Even though there was no one guarding the place, Master Zhao's mind was conjuring up countless schemes and plots.

Standing on a hill a thousand miles away, I was drenched in sweat, my brain practically steaming.

He even wondered if the Du Yun here was a fake.
After all, if cause and effect can be faked, it's not impossible to create another fake Du Yun.

In the end, Zhao Xing decided to go down and take a look.

The main issue is that the fluctuations in fortune on the panel are not significant. The fortune at level 31 is currently fluctuating within the fifth level, which is a somewhat dangerous but not very dangerous situation.

Of course, it's also possible that they didn't get too close to the danger.

"As long as I can see Du Yun, I can confirm whether it's true or not," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He has a panel to observe, so he doesn't necessarily need to enter the underground palace.

"Four Pillars Mystic Gate, Escape!"

Zhao Xing's feet sank, and the black sand spread outwards.

He descended diagonally, getting closer to Du Yun as he went.

The black sand pressed against the four pillars of the Xuan Gate, as if each grain of sand possessed a heavy and oppressive feeling of death, constantly rubbing against the escape technique he had erected.

Even when he was on the Space Ark, Zhao Xing might not have been able to escape a hundred miles away, but now he was able to do so with ease.

"Nobody here? There's really nobody here."

Zhao Xing got closer and closer, but still couldn't find any people or structures.

He was very close to the magical dungeon.

It wasn't until he stood in front of the door that Zhao Xing finally saw a puppet.

wow~
A large black dog with three heads emerged from the black sand, baring its teeth as it appeared before the steps of the Spirit Realm Palace.

"Ok?"

Zhao Xing had a strange feeling. He had never seen this dog before, yet he felt a kind of spiritual closeness to it.

"Could it be a Ksitigarbha-type spell?" Zhao Xing had learned a Ksitigarbha Divine Ox spell on the Cosmic Ship, but what it formed was a monster with a dog's head and a human body.

No, it's not magic, it's real life.

Because Zhao Xing obtained its information from the panel.

【The Earthly God Dog 'Boqi'】

One of the ancient demon gods

[God-level]

[Note: Boqi, the Demon God, is one of the ancient demon gods. He was later tamed by the Earth God King of the Primordial Hill and is known as the Earth God Dog. He is skilled in treasure hunting, vein digging, and has keen eyesight and hearing.]

"Wang!"

A sudden bark startled Zhao Xing, who realized he had been discovered; the Earth God Dog had suddenly appeared in front of him around the corner.

As expected of the Earth God Dog, which is skilled in sight and hearing, its escape technique of the Four Pillars Mystic Gate also has a concealment effect, and it was seen through directly.

Zhao Xing was ready for battle, but the other party didn't react upon seeing him, only sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail.

"Master, you are back."

Zhao Xing was taken aback. This guy called me master?
It can't tell me apart from the fake?
"Is my master hiding here to test whether I've been keeping a good watch?"

"Hmm." Knowing that saying more would only lead to more mistakes, Zhao Xing simply nodded, removed the Four Pillars Mystic Gate, and stepped out.

He ordered the Earth God Dog to continue patrolling outside, while he himself went to the gate of the Spirit Realm Palace.

The divine-level magic has made the underground palace a real place, but due to the environment, it is entirely black.

Because it is inspired by the Black Sand Region, it carries a sense of solemnity and dread.

"It's at least at the level of a Divine General. This imposter is actually slightly stronger than the Spirit Realm Palace I created?"

Zhao Xing entered the gate and immediately saw Du Yun's thigh, which was suppressed in the center of the Spirit Realm Palace. At this moment, Du Yun had already been dismembered.

The limbs are located at the four corners of the underground palace, while the torso lies horizontally on the ground, with a miniature volcano at each location.

Volcanoes in various locations are constantly erupting.

The head is nowhere to be seen.

"Hiss, Divine Fire Body Refinement, it's going to melt Du Yun."

Fortunately, Du Yun is a martial god of the Qi Sect. If someone like Zhao Xing, a minister of agriculture, were to be treated like this, it would be considered a serious injury.

He was blown to a skeleton by firecrackers last time and lay in bed for more than fifty years.

But for Du Yun, dismemberment was not a serious injury.

“Extracting marrow and refining qi, this isn’t an intention to kill Du Yun all at once, it’s more like they’re trying to refine Du Yun into something.”

"But where did his head go?"

Zhao Xing glanced at the panel and knew it was real; he immediately decided to save Du Yun.

But Du Yun's head was nowhere to be found.

The Spirit Realm Palace is not static; the same spell can have vastly different effects depending on who uses it.

For example, Zhao Xing usually puts the trick to setting up the Spirit Realm Palace in the "Swamp Star River", but when the Earth God King tested him last time, he put the trick in the "Boundless Sea".

The trick can be used to hide an extremely quick attack spell, to hide things, or to serve as a central hub in various parts of the dungeon; how it is used is entirely up to the individual.

To save time, Zhao Xing immediately asked Du Yun.

It's clear that Du Yun hasn't been rescued unless his head is removed.

Whoosh, he immediately landed on Du Yun's stomach and asked Du Yun's navel:

"Brother Du, it's me, Zhao Xing. I've come to save you."

Du Yun did not respond.

Zhao Xing could sense that Du Yun was capable of responding, but the reason he wasn't was because he thought Zhao Xing was fake.
"Brother Du, it really is me, Zhao Xing. Where did you hide your head?"

Du Yun remained silent.

"Brother Du, do you still remember our first meeting? It was on Tiger Head Star Continent, back then I..."

Seeing that Du Yun did not reply, Zhao Xing immediately changed the subject and brought up another matter.

"The first pot of gold we dug up at Yueluo Cemetery was a scholar's grave..."

"Later, you asked someone to help me resolve the issue of cultivating the soul technique, but it ended up causing trouble for that reincarnated person..."

Before we parted ways on the Ark of Time, you entrusted me with taking care of your old flame...

Seeing that Du Yun continued to remain unresponsive, Zhao Xing was starting to feel numb.

He realized that the imposter might have said all of these things!

"No way, he knows so much..."

Zhao Xing was acutely aware of the seriousness of the problem.

At the same time, I also felt that it was very difficult to prove that I was myself.
At this moment, Du Yun finally spoke.

"You little bastard, are you kidding me?"

"If you're so capable, show your true colors and release me so we can have a fair fight!"
"Fine, I'll let you out." Zhao Xing changed his strategy, his tone shifting to a cold expression.

"Come on!" Du Yun challenged, "I'll give you a handicap with one hand."

"Okay, come on!" Zhao Xing gathered Du Yun's limbs and torso together.

Tell me, where is your head?

Du Yun, the headless one, scoffed: "Still playing these tricks? You locked me up, don't you know where I am?"

"Want to activate my Tribulation Bone Divine Essence? Dream on!"

"You may torture me all you want, but one day when I am resurrected, I will surely come back to avenge this day!"

At this moment, Zhao Xing was also somewhat impatient, because his luck continued to fluctuate below the 25th level and was getting lower and lower. Obviously, piecing together Du Yun's divine body had triggered some misfortune.

But this damn imposter seems to have repeatedly tortured Du Yun in order to activate Du Yun's divine body.

Is it because a corpse is less useful than a living one?
Have you played this before?
"Whoosh~"

Seeing that his luck had dropped below the twentieth level, Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and took the headless Du Yun away first.

Taking some of them might be a chance for resurrection; we can't worry about Du Yun's head right now.

"Wang~"

As Zhao Xing stepped outside, the earth dog barked again, bidding him farewell.

Zhao Xing charged forward headfirst, his mind filled with a terrible premonition.

Whoosh whoosh~
He activated the Four Pillars Mystic Gate, carrying Du Yun as he broke through the earth.

Black sand drifted down as Zhao Xing returned to the ground.

"Oh!"

As soon as it emerged, it was met with a fierce counterattack.

Eight golden spiral iron rods descended from the sky, their golden flames intertwining and constantly slicing through Zhao Xing's body.

What a sneak attack! Zhao Xing didn't even notice it.

"There really was an ambush!"

Zhao Xing was thrown into the desert, but fortunately, he escaped using the Four Pillars Mystic Gate Escape Technique.

He hadn't even seen the enemy, nor did he know how many there were, so his only option now was to run away.

On the distant outskirts of the Black Sand Domain, Starfire God opened his eyes and said to Di Jun beside him, "We've found the imposter. He's transferring Du Yun."

"Where is the location?" Di Jun instantly transformed.

"Follow these eight Starfire Needles of mine." Starfire God handed a box to Di Jun to carry. "It will guide you."

"Okay." Di Jun immediately rushed out.

Starfire General continued to operate remotely. He was carrying an imperial heavy weapon, and tens of thousands of Starfire Needles were searching in the Black Sand Domain. Eight of them found their location.

As a result, many divine objects fused with those eight divine needles.

As the God of Machines who controls attacks from a distance, Starfire is confident that as long as Di Jun can hold off his opponent for a while, and once one-tenth of the Imperial Heavy Weapons are fused together, the opponent will have no chance of escaping.

"Hmph, daring to impersonate Zhao Xing?!" Before Xinghuo Shenjiang arrived, Gu Luohe specifically instructed him that no matter how powerful the imposter was, he must be ruthless and not be afraid of retaliation!
……

"Pfft~"

Zhao Xing's arm bent backward in an odd way, exposing the bone, and blood splattered everywhere.

In reality, this wasn't a bone, but rather a branch of the Yuan Teng Xian that had broken off and been shaken out.

"Such power! Although the divine body bestowed upon me by the Ancestral Emperor is not strong, the Yuan Teng Immortal is capable of withstanding multiple attacks from a peak Divine General. Now, after being struck four times through the black sand, I'm already injured?"

"The evil god who made the move is definitely among the top generals. They were indeed targeting me."

Zhao Xing dared not delay and immediately activated the Six-Star Bracelet.

The six-star bracelet left behind by the God King Yuheng has three functions: death, boundary breaking, and life-saving. It also has the functions of enlightenment, boundary protection, and six escapes.

Among them, the boundary guard is for defense, while the six escapes are for escape.

With each of the four attacks stronger than the last, Zhao Xing dared not be careless and immediately activated the Six-Star Bracelet to escape.

"Om~"

The bracelet activated a divine light, which enveloped Zhao Xing and transformed him into a wisp of light, disappearing into the black sand.

The moment he disappeared, the entire underground of the black sand turned upside down. If Zhao Xing had remained in the original position, he would have been shaken out.

"Whoosh~"

Amidst the swirling black sand, the demon god Di Jun appeared.

"The spark has vanished."

“There is some trick to it.” At the border of the Black Sand Domain, General Starfire was somewhat surprised. “He used a divine king artifact to escape.”

"What do we do now?" Di Jun asked the receiver.

"Chase!" Starfire God General said coldly, "Starfire Divine Needle also possesses the power of an Emperor. It cannot escape the Thousand Feather Realm, and the distance between them is not even that far."

“He has a causal relationship with me, and I can sense his location.”

"Come with me."

……

The Great World of Thousand Feathers, the City of Benevolent Water.

On the surface, Shanshui City is controlled by a native tribe called Yifeng Kingdom in the Thousand Feather Silent Realm.

In reality, they are puppets of two evil god forces: one is the Eight Star Academy under the Xi Tian Divine King City, and the other is two ancient gods of the Taiyue Clan born in the early days of the Spirit Realm from the Asura Heaven.

Yi Ren came to Shanshui City without suspicion because, to him, this place should have been a safe zone.

But Yi Ren sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered the city.

First, several of his ethereal divine objects had become ineffective; these were all tokens of his trust.

Secondly, his earring emitted a sound, repeatedly shouting "Danger! Danger!"

Immediately afterwards, he saw a faint ray of light shine on him.

When Yi Ren looked up, the sunlight seemed like a mirror, reflecting a human face.

It wasn't his original face; it was Zhao Xing's face.

"broken."

Yi Ren's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't know why the token and the artifact had failed, nor did he know how the celestial light had suddenly and accurately found him.

But both of his earrings began to tremble wildly, as if a great calamity was about to befall him.

"run!"

Yi Ren immediately fled.

At that moment, two eight-eyed giants ran out of the city. The giants' muscles were as hard as rock, and they had many colorful ink-like patterns on their bodies.

Light kept shooting out, illuminating the area where he was fleeing.

Immediately following was the Eight Star Academy, a force under the Xi Tian Divine King City. Two dean-level divine generals were shooting arrows and throwing talismans, bombarding him in a chaotic barrage.

Arrow God Ji Heng and Talisman God Wang Yue are both the deans of the Eight Star Academy of Xi Tian Divine King, and both are at the peak of the Divine General level.

They received a secret order that the culprit who had crippled Young Master Qiongyu had appeared in the Thousand Feather Silent Realm.

This intelligence came at a great cost; we must bring him back.

If you really can't catch it, killing it is also an option.

"They've hit the wrong person!" Yi Ren knew perfectly well.

These people treated him as if he were the real Zhao Xing and attacked him.

But he couldn't explain it, because he had no token to prove that he wasn't Zhao Xing. Now he was Zhao Xing inside and out, and even the God King might not be able to tell the difference.

Moreover, he didn't know the Arrow God Ji Heng or the Talisman God Wang Yue at all, and he had never interacted with the two ancient gods of Mount Tai.

Even if he could tell, he couldn't, because these weren't the people the Father God had designated to reveal the truth.

"Is this a test from the Father God, or is there an evil god as powerful as the Father God causing trouble?" Iren wondered to himself.

Boom boom boom boom boom~~
An arrow pierced his shoulder, and a talisman was pasted on his back.

Without a second thought, Yi Ren activated a token in his hand and quickly fled towards the Black Sand Domain.

……

"Pfft~"

Zhao Xing's body spun in the air like a top, then he coughed up a mouthful of blood and crashed into a rocky mountain.

As fragments flew everywhere, Zhao Xing felt ripples spread through his soul.

The weapon used by the evil god was too powerful. Even Zhao Xing's six-star bracelet could not completely protect him. After crashing into the mountain, it was rebounded by the earth's veins and was about to fly into the sky.

"Shu~"

One hand grabbed Zhao Xing, stabilizing his body.

It was Du Yun without a head.

"you……"

“I’m starting to believe you’re the real Zhao Xing now,” Du Yun said in a deep voice. “A fake Zhao Xing wouldn’t protect me while we were running for our lives.”

Zhao Xing was almost moved to tears. Finally, he didn't have to prove that he was himself anymore.

"Don't mind me, I was really scared before," Du Yun sighed. "That freak kept stimulating my survival instinct in order to keep my divine blood and essence at high energy levels."

"This isn't the first time someone has pretended to be the real person to stage a show for me."

"It's nothing. Compared to what you went through, mine is nothing." Zhao Xing waved his hand and quickly checked his own condition.

"It's a pity we didn't bring your head out."

"Hahaha, actually my head isn't that important." Du Yun's navel twitched. "You have some misunderstandings about Qi Sect martial artists. You think that the life soul and the divine body are integrated and share the same fate."

"After practicing the Devouring Calamity Technique, I was able to control the ratio of soul to body. After he tormented me twice, the soul in my head had actually been transferred, because I thought that if someone came to my rescue, my head would be hidden very deep, which would delay things."

"so?"

Du Yun held up three fingers: "So, as long as I can maintain my current state for three days and three nights, I can grow a new head."

"Oh? That's good." Zhao Xing smiled, but then he became curious again: "Brother Du, do you know anything about the imposter? Also, why didn't he kill you? Instead, it seems like he wants to do something with you?"

“I don’t know anything about this imposter’s background, but his disguise is too convincing,” Du Yun sighed. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this. From cause and effect, soul, and memories, everything matches you perfectly. He even knows about our past interactions. You could say he knows everything about us.”

"As for why he didn't kill me, I do know something about that."

Zhao Xing listened quietly.

"It's still because of the Devouring Calamity Technique." Du Yun said in a deep voice, "The Devouring Calamity Technique created by the Void Ancestor has become increasingly miraculous after being constantly searched for and supplemented by the Origin Heavenly Palace and the Empire, and it is even somewhat close to the legendary situation where the Void Ancestor transformed into heaven and earth."

“I’ll just say one thing, and you’ll understand.” Du Yun pointed to himself: “Although I am a free god and exist within divine tribulations, I can devour divine tribulations, not only my own, but also those of others.”

"What? Doesn't that mean..."

"Yes, I face almost no obstacles on my path to becoming a God-King, and my limits will be exceptionally high."

"And I have only recently become a god, yet I have already demonstrated a second kind of divine ability."

“Wait, you don’t need to tell me,” Zhao Xing interrupted.

"It's alright, what I'm telling you is information that even imposters would know."

"I'm afraid that if your gossip is overheard by the fortune teller, it will reveal heavenly secrets and your position," Zhao Xing thought even more deeply.

"That's true. Shall I not say anything then?"

"Fine, just tell me anyway." Zhao Xing shrugged. "Anyway, we're already in a chase, and things can't get any worse. I'd rather know more."

What is your extraordinary ability?

“My flesh, bones, marrow, and everything in my body are extremely tempting to the demon race,” Du Yun said. “Eating me will bring great benefits.”

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment. He sniffed the air and said, "Brother, this is actually true. You really do smell very good."

"I feel like if I ate a piece of your flesh, my injury would heal."

"Ahem, sorry, I didn't really have that thought."

"It's alright." Du Yun waved his hand.

"Then what would he want with you? Why doesn't he just eat you?"

Du Yun pondered, "Before that person revealed his true colors, we spent nearly three hundred years together, during which time we were always circling around Ji Zhi Guan on Bird Marsh Star."

"Judging from the information he usually reveals, he seems to be looking for a special divine beast that traveled from Ji Zhiguan."

"What's so special about it?" Zhao Xing asked.

"I don't know, I only know it was a giant beast of the heavens." Du Yun shook his head. "At that time, it transformed into you, but it was inconvenient to say more about the excuse, so I didn't ask any more questions, because I believed you wouldn't harm me."

A special, celestial behemoth?
Just then, Zhao Xing's brow suddenly twitched.

"Wait for me."

"it is good."

Zhao Xing's mind sank into the sinking space, constantly shuttling through the gaps. At this time, the space of his mind was also very unstable, as if he would leave at any moment.

In the end, Zhao Xing still descended upon the Shadow Temple.

But everything around it is collapsing and crumbling, seemingly not long to last.

"To make a long story short, I... I have... I have some intelligence about a crisis." On the steps, the figure in black robes flickered in and out of sight, and his voice was intermittent.

"Buy, buy, buy! Deduct it from my spiritual account!" Zhao Xing snatched it away.

"No, no need to buy, free, because I, the wrong person."

"What do you mean? Free?"

Even the Shadow Temple got the wrong person?

And the intelligence was completely empty?
Zhao Xing opened the intelligence report and found that the first page was blank, and the second page was also blank.

No, it wasn't completely empty. When I turned to the third page, there was finally something there.

The black-robed figure then formed a hand seal, guiding Zhao Xing to the information he most wanted to see:

“A colossal celestial beast named ‘Xi’.”

"They escaped from the independent spacetime territory concealed by the Ancient Heavenly King, and passed through Ji Zhi Pass... They want to take Du Yun..."

"Oh no...trap, be careful, danger..."

The black-robed man's voice was intermittent, as if he were stuck.

"Hey?! Watch out for a trap?!"

Zhao Xing was about to say something when he saw the man in black push him.

hum~
Zhao Xing suddenly woke up with a start.

Then a sudden tingling sensation ran down my scalp, and my heart felt like it was being gripped.

swoosh~
A cold, blue arrow of light suddenly shot out from Du Yun's left chest and then pierced through his shoulder.

"Oh!"

Like a string of candied hawthorns, Zhao Xing and the headless Du Yun crashed into the depths of the rocky mountain.

"Found you, Zhao Xing!" Above the stone, the cold light in the palm of the Arrow God Ji Heng receded, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

He had just fired an arrow, ambushing Zhao Xing, who was hiding in the rocky mountain to heal his wounds.

Whoosh~ Another woman's figure quickly appeared beside him. She was wearing a yellow robe, which seemed to be made of countless talismans and shimmered with chaotic light.

"The Thousand Feather Divine Talisman transforms into Yin and Yang, one into Heaven and the other into Earth."

"Mountains without edges, heaven and earth united!" Two talismans floated out from the clothes of the talisman god Wang Yue, and then the stone mountain suddenly became round, and the distance between heaven and earth shortened sharply.

PS: Actually, the chapter about collecting Zhou Yuan should have started with the new volume 'True God Zhao Xing', but I kept forgetting to switch volumes. Recently, I've been feeling really weak, which has caused my updates to be unstable. I need to sleep for a long time every day, and I get out of breath after walking just a few steps. I feel a bit groggy.

Currently, the captain is taking medication daily. If there is no update by 12 o'clock, it means that he is unable to update that day. The captain does not want to force himself to write or stay up late to write, so please do not wait.

I'm sorry, this is a tough recovery period.

Also, we'll be getting new sheets tomorrow.
