Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 787 Scheming
The middle-aged Taoist priest's smile was extremely arrogant, and he didn't take Chen Wang and his companions seriously at all.

In his view, he could handle those three people by himself.

If he hadn't received a decree requiring him to descend to the mortal realm and quell these rebellions, he wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths.

At this moment, the middle-aged Taoist laughed loudly and waved his hand to kill!
The whisk instantly grew larger, resembling a galaxy, with countless incredibly sharp silver threads piercing through it.

Chen Wang sensed the overwhelming killing intent emanating from the whisk and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Xiao Liu calmly said, "Although the Jade Void Whisk in this person's hand is a replica, it is extremely powerful. And that Vajra Bracelet is also an extremely powerful replica magic weapon. I will deal with him."

Xiao Liu, or more accurately Lu Li now, is no longer the ignorant and clueless person he once was.

As soon as Xiao Liu finished speaking, he immediately charged forward.

He formed a hand seal, and a Tai Chi symbol appeared behind him, one black and one white, with two Tai Chi tails rotating and changing.

Tai Chi is the true Dao; Tai Chi changes, and Yin and Yang rotate.

At that moment, the whisk was instantly controlled by the Tai Chi Yin-Yang symbol, spinning continuously.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged Taoist priest's smile faded, and his brows furrowed.
"Lu Li, after all these years, you're still haunting me."

Lu Li said coldly, "If it weren't for your schemes back then, you wouldn't even be qualified to fight me now!"

The middle-aged Taoist was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter: "You are far too confident. Do you think I have really made no progress in all these years?"

At this moment, he stopped talking to Lu Li and focused all his energy on his magic. The terrifying magic spread out, and his clothes billowed up.

The surrounding void distorted, and countless spiritual energies were released with each breath.

He not only needs to rely on his own magical power, but also needs to absorb the spiritual energy of this world to suppress Lu Li.

Lu Li then formed a hand seal again, a genuine Taoist gesture. The Tai Chi Yin-Yang symbol continued to expand, enveloping him and the middle-aged Taoist.

Then the world around them changed, turning into a watercolor-like color, enveloping the two of them.

The middle-aged Taoist priest's expression immediately changed!
He couldn't sense the Dao of this world or its spiritual energy, which meant he could only fight Lu Li with his own strength.

Lu Li's eyes showed no fear, but rather a sharp, fierce determination.
"Only one of us can leave here today!"

The middle-aged Taoist's gaze also turned cold.
"Alright, today I'll show you what it means to have a world beyond your reach."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two began to fight. Every now and then, terrifying explosions would appear in the ink-colored sphere, making the viewer's heart tremble with fear.

Soon, the two engaged in a fierce battle.

From the moment Lu Li charged forward to the moment the two clashed, and they closed the gates of heaven and earth to enter the space of that ink-colored sphere, only a short time had passed.

Chen Wang could still hear Lu Li's words echoing in his ears.

He glanced at the Nine-Colored Deer, who said, "Master, I can't beat that plague god."

Chen Wang's eyes lit up: "Can you beat the other one?"

The Nine-Colored Deer glanced at Wu Bi's imposing figure and said dejectedly, "I can't beat that one either."

Chen Wang was furious: "So useless, you've already admitted defeat before even fighting!"

The Nine-Colored Deer said, "Master, I'll choose the big one. I'll leave the plague god to you. I'll try my best to hold off the big one. You should finish the fight quickly and come help me."

Chen Wang kicked the Nine-Colored Deer in annoyance.
"Don't let him kill it."

Although the Nine-Colored Deer was scolded by Chen Wang, it could feel Chen Wang's concern. It let out a loud cry and mobilized the Five-Colored Divine Light, which transformed into a large sword and slashed at Wu Bi.

Although the conversation between the Nine-Colored Deer and Chen Wang was brief, Wu Bi had already overheard it.

Wu Bi was so angry that he was practically fuming.

"You're just a little beast, yet you're being so picky. And instead of dealing with the plague god, you're going after me. Do you think you've got me cornered?"

At this moment, Wu Bi became extremely ferocious. With a roar, his body suddenly grew larger and he charged at the Nine-Colored Deer, scaring the deer so much that the hairs on its body stood on end.

The Nine-Colored Deer inwardly groaned, "Damn it, it seems we've gone too far this time."

He summoned the Five-Colored Divine Blade and slashed down fiercely.

But Wu Bi shattered the Five-Colored Divine Blade with a single punch. The Nine-Colored Deer gasped in shock, realizing something was wrong, but he still gritted his teeth and charged forward.

In a short while, the Nine-Colored Deer had several wounds on its body and was beaten terribly.

However, his five-colored divine light was infinitely variable and actually managed to hold back Wu Bi.

Chen Wang ignored the nine-colored deer's miserable state; he was already engaged in battle with the plague god.

This plague god was enormous, and he was the most conspicuous of the three.

If left unchecked, he is the only one most likely to destroy the entire Netherworld on his own.

Chen Wang, of course, wouldn't hold back at this point.

The underworld has now become his backyard, containing immense power of faith.

Chen Wang deeply felt the benefits of the power of faith, which could help him comprehend the Great Dao and deduce cultivation techniques.

Ever since he tasted the benefits, Chen Wang's possessiveness of the power of faith has reached a terrifying level.

Nature will not allow anyone to destroy the garden from which He provides the power of faith.

Instead of engaging in guerrilla warfare with this enormous plague god that could almost cover the entire sky of the Nine Springs World, he decided to settle the matter with a single blow.

At this moment, he mobilized all his cultivation, and a vast and mighty power gathered on Chen Wang's finger. Chen Wang was preparing to use the Great Dao of Life and Death to kill this plague god.

Otherwise, if this plague god were to switch battlefields with him, to the human world,

How many beings in the underworld will survive at that time is an unknown number.

The plague god didn't choose to avoid it either; his enormous body simply couldn't escape.

At this moment, he was only focusing on channeling his cultivation, and countless tentacles converged and rushed towards Chen Wang.

It was as if many terrible whips were being stretched down from the heavens, about to shatter this murky world.

Chen Wang roared and unleashed the full power of the Dao of Life and Death.

He pointed a finger at the plague god's enormous body.
The tentacles that were waving around as if to shatter the entire Netherworld suddenly stiffened.

The Plague God was shocked to discover that a terrifying force was invading his body, and his life force was being rapidly stripped away.

The Plague God was terrified. A single plague could claim countless lives; logically, he should be the terrifying being who controlled death and curses.
Moreover, he is a deity, and his innate recovery ability and physique are stronger than those of ordinary Qi cultivators.

But he hadn't expected that the moment Chen Wang made his move, his body would rapidly begin to decay. His powerful physique visibly began to collapse, quickly losing its vitality, turning into powder, and disappearing into the void. The Plague God was terrified!

His body could have destroyed this world of the underworld with just a slight descent.

Moreover, he could remain invincible while absorbing essence blood and fighting Chen Wang.

Unexpectedly, Chen Wang acted so decisively, without using any magic weapons, relying solely on his own supernatural powers and the Great Dao to immediately create a life-or-death struggle with him.

At this moment, the power within Chen Wang's body gathered mightily at his fingertips, and then transformed into the Great Dao of Life and Death.

The Great Dao of Life and Death continues to annihilate the body of the Plague God.

The Plague God frantically mobilized its tentacles to bombard Chen Wang, but those tentacles suddenly collapsed and lost their luster when they reached Chen Wang.

The plague god's body shrank continuously, disappearing at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye.

He was somewhat incredulous, never expecting that there could be such terrifying cultivators in the human world.

He tried desperately to escape back to the heavens, but Chen Wang's Dao of Life and Death was extremely domineering, and with every step he took, a portion of his body disappeared.

By the time he approached the crack, his body had grown to be almost the size of a mountain, a truly terrifying transformation.

Previously, he could almost cover the sky of the Nine Springs World, such a terrifying and enormous being, but now, Chen Wang's supernatural power forced his body to shrink continuously.

Suddenly, he unleashed a burst of yellow gas. Caught off guard, Chen Wang was enveloped by this plague-inducing gas. His face immediately turned pale, and many small red spots appeared on his body, with pustules even starting to grow in many places.

Chen Wang's face was extremely pale, and his body was swaying precariously.

The power of the Dao of Life and Death has been greatly reduced.

The Plague God was overjoyed upon seeing this.

Previously, Chen Wang had planned to kill him in one move, and he was also trying to mobilize the plague energy so that he could unleash a powerful attack at the crucial moment and turn the tide of the battle.

In an instant, the situation between him and Chen Wang reversed, and Chen Wang was now on the verge of destruction.

Although the plague god was badly injured, he was still a little short of death.

The Plague God burst into laughter: "A lowly human dares to overturn the heavens? Do you even want to kill a god?"

He swung his palm out, striking Chen Wang with a loud bang. Chen Wang's bones snapped with a crack, and he flew backward.

The Plague God wouldn't let Chen Wang catch his breath, and charged again. With a wave of its tentacles, Chen Wang was hit more than a dozen times, and many of his bones were broken.

The Plague God was overjoyed at the sight, finally getting his revenge.

His gaze swept over the middle-aged Taoist and Lu Li, who were trapped in the ink-wash world, and then over the nine-colored deer that was being entangled in a battle.

Although the nine-colored deer was badly beaten, it was still some distance from death.

The Plague God felt a wave of fear, never expecting that the battle would be decided so quickly, almost on his own battlefield.

If he hadn't had any backup plan, he would likely have been killed if Chen Wang had dragged him away.

That's why he unleashed the original plague energy. If it weren't for Chen Wangxiu's Dao of Life and Death providing some resistance to the plague energy, things would probably be even more embarrassing now, with farting and diarrhea being common occurrences.

The plague god's many tentacles converged into one place, transforming into a terrifying divine whip that lashed fiercely at Chen Wang, this time intending to pulverize Chen Wang's body.

But at that moment, he noticed a mirror suddenly appear behind Chen Wang. He had experienced the power of that mirror before.

He had almost forgotten the existence of the Mirror God because he had fought so fiercely with Chen Wang earlier.

At this moment, the Mirror God appeared, shining a white light that immediately froze the Plague God, who was startled.

Chen Wang, who had been taking the beating, suddenly turned sharp, and in an instant his injuries were completely healed.

The Great Dao of Life and Death is even above the Great Dao of Creation; it is not just about death, but also about life.

Chen Wang's blood and energy were extremely powerful, like a blazing sun, fiercely attacking the plague god.

With a loud bang, the Plague God was jolted by the impact.

He and Chen Wang separated after a brief encounter, but a terrifying wound appeared on his body—a sword wound from which a sharp sword aura raged within him. The Plague God hurriedly mobilized his inner power to suppress it, but the next moment he discovered that the plague energy within him was becoming uncontrollable.

The plague energy is an extremely special power, and it is also the original power within his body, but at this moment, he has been stripped of his control.

He looked at Chen Wang in shock: "Impossible! You are just a human, while I am a born god. How could you possibly control my primordial power?"

Chen Wang's gaze was cold and stern; he had no intention of saying more to the plague god.

Both battlefields were extremely dangerous at this time. He needed to quickly eliminate the Plague God, so he didn't hesitate to let the Plague God beat him up in order to lower the Plague God's guard.

As for the method of manipulating the plague energy and seizing the original power of others, Chen Wang learned it from that immortal energy.

The Heavenly Venerable's presence within Chen Wang's body signified the seizure of control over Chen Wang's physical form.
Now, having further enhanced his comprehension through the power of faith, Chen Wang has mastered that technique.

His methods of controlling the Nine-Colored Deer and Lu Li using the Dao of Life and Death evolved from this.

At this moment, Chen Wang mobilized the plague energy, and the Plague God's state immediately became very special. His skin seemed to be boiled, with huge bubbles emerging, which looked very creepy.

The next moment, Chen Wang said coldly, "Explode!"

The plague energy erupted directly within the Plague God's body, instantly corrupting his life force.

He was originally the source of plagues, spreading disease throughout many worlds. Many people worshipped him, believing that the plague god could be stopped by offering sacrifices of young boys and girls.
Actually,
There is only one simple way to stop the plague god from causing further trouble: kill him.

Chen Wang was doing just that. He pushed the Great Dao of Life and Death with all his might, and with a single finger, his icy gaze made the Plague God tremble uncontrollably.

The plague god tried to struggle.

But then the Mirror God shone again, casting a beam of white light.

At this moment, the Mirror God was powerless to freeze the enormous plague god, but he could still keep his eyes on him for a moment.

It was this momentary lapse in concentration that allowed the Plague God to be completely penetrated by Chen Wang's Dao of Life and Death, and its life force was quickly stripped away!
In just a moment, the Plague God's body shattered and transformed into the purest spiritual energy.

Although he was an innate deity evolved from the essence of plague, he contained an immense amount of spiritual energy, which instantly nourished heaven and earth.

Chen Wang said directly, "Fellow Daoist Jing, I'm leaving it to you."

The Mirror God responded happily and immediately began to absorb the power.

This was also a promise he made to Chen Wang; in fact, the Mirror God was increasingly fond of staying by Chen Wang's side.

If it weren't for Chen Wang defeating these terrifying enemies,

How could it possibly have the chance to devour such pure power?
