Chapter 581 The Nian Beast Spits Treasure
Within his inner world, he communicated with Du Yun through his thoughts, while his physical body outside fled for its life.

Unable to hide on the ground or fly in the sky, Zhao Xing could only run, traversing the towering mountains and deep valleys.

However, Zhao Xing soon felt himself running slower and slower. The Great Sun Qi Sea had already boiled with 70% of his divine power, and he felt like he was about to burn up.

"Shh!"

A ball of light, like a falling sun, shot out from the throat of the lion's head in the sky and hurtled towards Zhao Xing.

At the same time, Zhao Xinglian's Qi Sea was completely occupied by the Great Sun, and he was powerless to move.

"Swish swish~"

At the critical moment, Yuan Tengxian extended eight pale blue vines from her back, like octopus tentacles, hooked onto a mountain ridge in front of her, and quickly contracted to pull Zhao Xing's body away.

"Oh!"

The rocky mountain at that spot melted instantly, followed by a lava eruption.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.!!!"

Orbs of light kept falling.

Swish swish swish~
Yuan Tengxian's vine tentacles almost danced in afterimages as she moved rapidly, wrapping Zhao Xing in her dense vines.

At this moment, the combined form of Zhao Xing and Yuan Tengxian resembled a spider.

It was a bit of a mess, constantly being bombarded by the light orbs in the sky.

Several times, Zhao Xing felt as if he had been blown up, belly up.

The Yuan Teng Xian also broke apart, but its strong vitality allowed it to quickly grow new vines and continue its rapid growth.

Du Yun, the headless being hiding in the inner world, could clearly perceive Zhao Xing's experiences by looking at the 'sky' through his navel.

With each roll, he was filled with anxiety for Zhao Xing.

Given the current situation, Zhao Xing's divine power is restricted, and he cannot even activate divine objects. He can't rely on anything. Si Nong's physical body is not strong. If he is hit by the Nian Beast's Aurora, he will probably have to go to see the Earth God.

"The id faction is still the strongest!" Du Yun's belly button opened and closed. "Zhao Xing, you didn't waste your time in the Primordial Realm!!"

The Nian beast, possessing the heavenly timing, oppresses the earth; at this moment, the favorable timing and location are no longer effective for the Minister of Agriculture.

With divine power suppressed and divine objects forbidden, all external things rendered useless. It was still the ego faction that saved Zhao Xing from his predicament!

"Zhao Xing, you should cultivate the divine methods of the Original Self Sect, why are you becoming some kind of local earth god?"

"There's a reason why the Primordial Realm is stronger than the Ancient Hill!"

Du Yun danced with excitement.

He had no idea that Zhao Xing's plant soldiers were not cultivated in the Primordial Realm.

However, the divine techniques he learned in the Primordial Realm did indeed have an effect. Of Yu Heng's seven great divine king secret techniques, Zhao Xing only learned four, all of which were offensive techniques.

At this moment, it was completely useless. Instead, the Void Divine Seed and the Divine Radiance of a Thought, two auxiliary divine techniques learned from the Primordial Realm, enhanced Yuan Tengxian's abilities.

"Zhao Xing, I'm here to help you!"

Du Yun was thrilled. He suddenly stopped shouting and cheering, and instead shouted, "Heavenly Chef, Great General, Divine Eye!"

"big big big!"

Zhao Xing was about to ask how you could help me while you were inside my body, when he noticed a divine light projected from the boundless continent onto the boundary wall.

At this moment, Du Yun's body remained unchanged, but his navel was growing rapidly, soon occupying 70% of his torso.

The divine light emanated from the navel.

Zhao Xing: "What kind of technique is this?"

"A martial artist's Heavenly Eye allows them to see more clearly in a chaotic battlefield environment. Quickly open your boundary and let the divine light enter your body; it will be of great help to you."

Zhao Xing did as instructed, and the divine light entered his body. Sure enough, his vision became much clearer. Before, when Zhao Xing looked into the distance, he could only see a dazzling white light, but now he could see the scene.

My field of vision has expanded more than tenfold!
"What a powerful general's divine eye! He can even use it through his navel?!"

"The belly button is also an eye; if I wanted, I could even use this technique through my anus!"

"..."

Zhao Xing had nothing to say.

As expected, martial artists don't need brains.

With a clear view of the battlefield, Zhao Xing realized that the situation hadn't improved, as he was still on the defensive and had little power to retaliate.

The Nian beast was more powerful than he had imagined. Zhao Xing had a feeling that the giant beast was capable of hitting him, but was deliberately avoiding it.

"Why is he trying to kick me out?"

"Hmm? Could it be that you think the headless Du Yun doesn't taste good and want to eat it together with other things?"

Zhao Xing had nothing about him that attracted the Nian beast; it was Du Yun that it was after.

But he only had the headless Du Yun, so the Nian beast chased him away in order to piece Du Yun back together!
After continuing to evade for a while, Zhao Xing confirmed his conclusion by observing the constantly changing coordinates on the panel.

He seemed to be running around like a headless fly, but in reality, he was getting closer and closer to the Black Sand Domain.

Upon realizing this, Zhao Xing was no longer in such a hurry and had more time to think.

"According to the records in Bowei's books, the Nian Beast was born from the origin of the polar star. It is a manifestation of the origin and originally had no physical form. Later, it combined with the Great Dao of Life and thus gained a physical body."

Zhao Xing looked up at the sky: "In its current state, it is almost invincible, but if it wants to come down and devour Du Yun, it must have a living body. Once it has a physical form, it will not be as strong."

"That's the moment to strike back."

Zhao Xing speculated that the Nian beast wanted to piece Du Yun together and eat him because it didn't want to expose its weakness twice.

Otherwise, after eating the body, you still have to eat the head, which is too troublesome.

After leaving the Iron Wire River, Yi Ren flew using a talisman, his body constantly emitting a green light.

He stopped flying in a desolate region called 'Bayuling'.

Like Zhao Xing, he was also attacked, but the attack that Yi Ren suffered was more unusual.

Once Yi Ren leaves this wasteland, he will immediately return to the center of the wasteland.

It's as if we've entered an infinite loop.

"It seems this place is the meal spot chosen by the Nian beast."

After experiencing two cycles, Yi Ren stopped wasting his energy.

He took Du Yun's head out and buried it in the soil.

Centered on the human head, Yi Ren began to set up the formation.

It is a rune array.

The Yiren were not actually farmers, but priests.

Only priests could reach such a powerful level in just 30,000 years.

The sacrificial tablets inside Yi Ren's body have a total of twelve sides, each with a deity statue.

The Father God arranged twelve hidden gods for him, encompassing many professions and different paths, from which Iren could borrow their divine power.

At this moment, one side of the sacrificial tablet rotated to the midnight position, and the deity wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat on it became lifelike.

Yi Ren borrowed the power of a god of agriculture.

"Shu~"

A light appeared at her fingertips, and Yi Ren first drew a circle around Du Yun's head.

This is to protect Du Yun and prevent the Nian beast from swallowing him whole.

Then Yi Ren moved his left hand like a cloud, while his right fingertips swept across the earth.

The earth developed gullies, and at the same time, rain fell, and a touch of green sprouted and filled the gullies.

Soon, Du Yun's head was surrounded by bushes and grass.

Yi Ren drew a Spring God Talisman.

The earth is the foundation, and the plants and trees are the spirit. Looking down from this place, one can see a picture of spring.

At the same time, a word can be vaguely seen.

Immediately afterwards, Yi Ren ran to another location and continued drawing talismans.

The sacrificial tablets of Yi Ren were turned twenty-four times, leaving behind twenty-four talismans.

Each talisman has a character, and they are all interconnected, but they all have one thing in common: the location of the talisman is full of vitality.

"Om~"

As the last talisman disappeared, the once vibrant wasteland returned to its original state, a desolate wasteland.

It wasn't destroyed by the Nian beast, but rather Yi Ren took it away on his own initiative.

Because there was a mirror lying horizontally above his head.

The Mirror of Deception.

The Nian beast saw itself wandering aimlessly across the wasteland.

This is a divine object specifically designed to deceive it!

When Yi Ren finished doing all this.

"Wang!"

The earth dog, which was lying on the ground, suddenly got up with some confusion and then barked incessantly.

He suddenly looked in a certain direction, towards the Bayuling Plain, where a large, blue spider had invaded.

……

When Zhao Xing entered the Bayuling Plain, he found that the boiling level of his Qi Sea had decreased, the divine power he could use had increased significantly, and he was also able to activate some divine objects.

He was radiant and full of energy, like a traveler on a scorching hot day who had stumbled into a springtime paradise.

When Yi Ren looked over, Zhao Xing also saw him through Du Yun's divine eyes.

The familiar face and familiar aura caused Zhao Xing to feel a moment of disorientation.

Like, so similar!
At first glance, Zhao Xing thought it was his own split soul that had arrived.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sensation appeared.

"I see……"

"No wonder it's so realistic."

Zhao Xing understood instantly.

Through the panel, he could clearly see that Yi Ren had many skills, many of which were exactly the same as those he had learned, including Nine Ze God, Spirit Realm Palace, Golden Cicada True Form, One Thought Divine Radiance, and Void Divine Seed. In addition, Yi Ren also had many divine skills of historian, astrologer, and priest, and he also possessed a large number of divine artifacts.

If we consider the situation before the closed loop, based on the data on paper, Yi Ren and I are both at the Divine Weapon level, but Yi Ren's combat power is stronger!
The difference lies in the fact that the other party does not possess Yu Heng's secret techniques, and their luck level is only twenty-nine, not thirty-one.

But this was enough to shock Zhao Xing.

"What's wrong with this guy? I have the magic treasures of the Ancient Hill, and so does he. He also knows the geomantic spells that I know, and even the Heavenly Timing Thunder Technique of the Five Abyss Thunder God, which I only have fragments of, but he has the complete version."

"Even Bowei taught me about the Golden Cicada's True Form and Dual Body?"

What surprised Zhao Xing even more was that the flesh and blood aura released from Yi Ren seemed to have the same origin as him.

Although it is not the Primordial Chaos Body, its flesh and blood are exactly the same as mine!
"Sigh~"

Upon considering a certain possibility, Zhao Xing couldn't help but gasp.

He had studied medicine with Bi Qi, a master of the ancient medical school, and immediately thought of a forbidden technique that Bi Qi had mentioned before—the Blood Medicine Divine Technique.

"The Blood Medicine School can replicate a complete physical body from a single drop of blood. Once successfully cultivated, the physical body is indistinguishable from the original body."

“But Bi Qi said that this sect has long since disappeared, and many of its spells have been banned and prohibited.”

"Damn, could this Yi Ren be some kind of medical god who copied me from a drop of my blood?"

I've lost health far too many times. Not to mention the battle in the Stormy Sea of ​​the Great World of Yan Yi, my flesh and blood were blown away, leaving only my skeleton.

If the people of Xitian Divine City were to review the events afterward and clean up the battlefield, it would be very likely that they could reverse time and space to obtain some of their own flesh and blood.

“His soul aura is very similar to mine, except for the core difference.” Zhao Xing frowned as he looked at him.

No wonder the Blood Medicine Sect's divine techniques are banned. They can create a physical body identical to the target, replace the soul inside, and then impersonate the target all over the world, causing evil causes and effects. Who can stand that?

"You evil god, how dare you impersonate me!" A nameless rage surged within Zhao Xing.

"I am Zhao Xing, you are an imposter!"

"I'll go to you!"

Zhao Xing roared and immediately transformed into the God of Nine Lakes.

Yi Ren also transformed into the Nine Ze God.

It is almost indistinguishable from Zhao Xing in appearance.

They all possess eyes that can destroy the world and burn.

"boom!"

Flames shot from their eyes and collided, creating a powerful shockwave that swept outwards, but was immediately contained by the two, who then used the destructive energy generated within it for a second time.

"Buzz~" The vortexes in the palms of the two Nine Ze Gods appeared simultaneously, and the singularity burst out with black light.

The black lights, brimming with an aura of destruction, collided and annihilated.

"Don't blame me for being fooled; even the real thing can't fool the fakes..."

Du Yun's head and body both watched the duel on the wasteland.

If it weren't for the fact that one side of the body was attached to the other, Du Yun wouldn't have known which one was real and which one was fake.

"This trip was so exciting! There was the Nian beast watching from above, and the real and fake Zhao Xing were fighting below."

What hadn't Du Yun seen? He'd never seen anything like this before.

Zhao Xing transformed by inserting a needle, and Yi Ren also transformed by inserting a needle.

The Nine Gods' innate divine skills clashed once, and neither of them was injured, because their strengths were evenly matched.

Immediately afterwards, both of them deactivated their transformations and began using other spells.

Five Extreme Spirit Pearls, Great Five Finger Mountain, Demon God's Palace, Boundary Volcano Technique, Star Rift, Nine Source Divine Thunder...

Zhao Xing discovered that, in terms of terrain advantage, only the Diejie Mountain method gave him a slight edge over his opponent.

The rest were either evenly matched or, in fact, slightly stronger than Yi Ren.

……

Above the river of time and space, on the spiritual platform, Elder Shuji was talking to several people in the mist, including Tianheng Leimu.

"Zhao Xing's true nature will be forced out in this battle, and you will soon get what you want."

Tianheng Leimu was somewhat shocked. First, she was shocked by Zhao Xing's combat power. As the battle continued, the spells he cast became stronger and stronger, and he had actually reached the late stage of the Divine General realm.

Secondly, it shocked people with the strength of the fake Zhao Xing. How exactly did the old man from the Pivot cultivate this fake?

"Senior Shuji, does the fake Zhao Xing know the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture?" Tianheng Leimu asked this question.

The old man from the sage's ...

"However, what is fake is fake and cannot be taken as real. Void magic can replicate a soul 99% of the time, but the creativity inherent in the spirit of living beings cannot be replicated."

“His Ten Directions Mountain Scripture and the Layered Realm Mountain Method are the methods of proving the Dao in Heaven and Earth, and they cannot be replicated.”

"Of course, if the fight goes on for a long time, the fake may become real." The old man from the Pivot said calmly, "If he is killed by my people, the defects in his soul can be repaired, and he can glimpse the most mysterious layer of the soul realm."

Tianheng Leimu shuddered.

The battle did not last long before Zhao Xing abandoned the methods of favorable timing and terrain, and instead used the spells of the "Original Self" school.

Iren has absolutely no knowledge of any spells related to the God-King Yuheng.

Similarly, he did not have any related military units.

Zhao Xing used the [World in the Palm] technique, and the four major plant legions immediately descended upon Yi Ren's side.

Colossus Tree Clan, General Tianji!

Moyi God Clan, General Black Mushroom!
Xu Zhu, a member of the Divine Clan, is General Dou Shen!
Styx Flower Goddess Clan, General Dark Flame!

Four plant camps surrounded Yiren, effectively erasing any slight advantage Yiren had just gained.

Iren and the Earth God Dog retreated back to the center of the wasteland.

The majestic General Tianji advanced from the south. The Colossus and Treant races possessed immense strength and remarkable regenerative abilities, making them virtually impervious to wind, rain, thunder, and clouds.

Yi Ren could only use the underground palace technique to slow them down and the talisman array to trap them, but it was difficult to kill them completely.

The Xu Zhu divine clan in the north, under General Dou Shen, employs a variety of complex attack methods, including divine bamboo that strikes thunder, divine bamboo that sings, divine bamboo that blows eerie winds, and divine bamboo that throws firecrackers.

The Styx Flower God Clan in the east, under General Netherflame, unleashed a legion technique, causing a thousand Netherflame Flower Goddesses to bloom. The black stamens of the flowers burst forth with beams of destructive light, instantly melting his five-layered rune array barrier.

"Swish swish~"

Countless mushroom soldiers emerged from the gap in the barrier.

"Wang~"

The valiant earthhound charged forward and bit a mushroom soldier.

But the next moment, a red light appeared in the mouth of the divine dog.

"Xiao Ren, come back!" Yi Ren shouted.

"Pong!"

Blood spilled from the mouth of the Earth God Dog, smoke billowed from its ears, and the black dog turned green; it had been poisoned.

Yi Ren had no good way to retaliate.

They could only rely on the power of martial arts to strengthen their own and the Earth God Dog's defenses and withstand the attack.

He was not facing Zhao Xing, but the plant legion cultivated by God King Yuheng. Each legion possessed a mature combat system and rich combat experience.

Zhao Xing only needs to use "Universal Phenomena" and "Dead Wood God" to make these plant troops share the damage among themselves.

"Is that all it can do?" Du Yun couldn't help but ask when he saw the counterfeit goods being beaten so badly.

“No, he has other plans.” The phantom image of the mother tree in Zhao Xing’s palm appeared and disappeared.

He did not release the mother tree to attack Yi Ren, mainly because he was still wary of the Nian beast.

Logically speaking, since Du Yun's body and head are both here, he should have eaten them by now, right?

However, for some reason, the Nian beast did not attack.

"Does this mean we have to wait until I and Yi Ren have a final showdown?"

Zhao Xing always felt that Yi Ren's appearance was not just aimed at him.

So far, Lao Qing's plea for help has not been answered, nor has the Boundless True God. The Moon Goddess Palace Master has not appeared.

Zhao Xing didn't think he had been abandoned; he believed the big shots were fighting on another level.

Assuming there's such a large-scale operation, it's unlikely they're only targeting themselves.

……

The Nian beast 'Xi' watched from the sky for a long time. Seeing that the battle had not yet come to a conclusion, it finally could not hold back any longer.

"Om~"

The illusory image in the sky became real, the divine aura of the Nian beast weakened, and it began to become more lively and agile.

It jumped down, as if it had crossed many layers of space and landed outside the battlefield.

At this moment, Zhao Xing and Yi Ren both slowed down their offensive.

No one would actually fight to the death against a Nian beast; everyone still has trump cards up their sleeves.

Now that the Nian beast has descended, it's time to truly take action.

"Spring God Talisman Array, activate!"

With a flick of his finger, the entire wasteland suddenly transformed into a vibrant forest.

Twenty-four talismans rose from the edge of the forest, surrounding the Nian beast, Zhao Xing, and the legion.

Zhao Xing then revealed his true intentions, throwing out the Myriad Paths Mother Tree and planting the firecrackers left to him by the Penglai God General around himself. The branches began to crackle and pop.

The Nian beast's body continued to shrink at this moment, eventually becoming the size of a normal puppy.

“It has weakened, roughly equivalent to the strength of a late-stage Divine General.” Zhao Xing sensed carefully and immediately noticed the abnormality of the Nian Beast.

But before he could make a move, the Nian beast suddenly opened its mouth.

Zhao Xing thought it was about to attack and became highly vigilant.

"Pong!"

But the Nian beast only spat out a miniature palace.

"Huh? What is that?"
