Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 820 Blood Curse of Life and Death

The Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land mobilized the formations within the Holy Land, and a series of powerful auras were bestowed upon him, causing his cultivation to surge.

He immediately swept his sleeve and attacked Chen Wang, a sharp aura sweeping over him, turning into golden light and striking towards Chen Wang's neck.

Ye Qingshuang shouted sternly, "Elder, what are you doing?"

Immediately, a token lit up in her hand, and she quickly controlled the statues within the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, greatly weakening the power of the Great Elder's divine ability.

Chen Wang waved his sleeve, and a sharp sword aura shattered the golden light, his figure remaining unmoved.

The Grand Elder looked at Ye Qingshuang and said coldly, "You really colluded with him and caused trouble together. You want to cut yourself off from the Ancient Immortal Holy Land."

Ye Qingshuang said arrogantly, "What makes you say such a thing, Elder? It is clearly your intention to do something wicked, betray the interests of the entire Holy Land, and endanger all living beings."

The Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land's face darkened; he knew that Ye Qing Shuang also held some authority.

At this moment, he moved and immediately charged out, appearing in front of Ye Qingshuang in the blink of an eye.

Ye Qingshuang felt a terrifying power spreading towards her.

Although she had the authority to move these statues in the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, the Grand Elder had the same authority.

Therefore, within the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, she was truly no match for the Grand Elder in whatever he wanted to do.

Just then, Chen Wang appeared in front of her.

Chen Wang pointed out with his fingers like a sword, which landed squarely on the Grand Elder's palm.

The elder suddenly felt a tingling numbness in his arm, as if struck by lightning, and stumbled back several steps.

Although he couldn't activate all the formations at this moment, they could still provide him with some power.

The Grand Elder took out a magical artifact, a longsword with a dragon's head, its blade as bright as a pool of autumn water.

He consecrated the sword and swung it at Chen Wang.

Swish!
This sword strike brought together the pinnacle of his power, further enhanced by the strength of the sect's sages, making it extremely fierce and powerful.

At this moment, Chen Wang stretched out two fingers and directly pinched the flying sword.

No matter how the Grand Elder urged it on, the sword light could not advance even an inch further.

Chen Wang said calmly, "Don't you know the God-Slaying Technique? Why don't you use it?"

The Grand Elder's expression changed.

The crowd's gazes toward him immediately turned angry.

"Damn it, he claims to know the God-Slaying Technique but doesn't use it. It's no wonder there's something wrong with this supernatural power!"

At this moment, Chen Wang gripped the sword with both hands and thrust it forward. An extremely powerful force emanated from the hilt and struck the Grand Elder's chest.

Click!

The Grand Elder's ribs were instantly broken, and he was sent flying backward, smashing many palaces and creating a cloud of dust.

call out!
He rose from the ruins and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the sky.

The Grand Elder knew that Ye Qingshuang was colluding with Chen Wang, so he could no longer mobilize the power of the sect's formation.

However, the Grand Elder was no fool. He was unwilling to use the power of the God-Slaying Technique at this moment. Otherwise, what benefit would it bring him if he helped the beings from beyond the heavens kill Chen Wang?

Therefore, he was only focused on escaping at this moment.

Seeing this, Chen Wang admired the elder's decisiveness.

This person appears domineering and ruthless, but in reality, he is very meticulous and cunning.

He gave up without hesitation, ceasing his entanglement with Chen Wang, and vanished into thin air.

Chen Wang immediately gave chase.

Chen Wang is skilled in the Dao of Void and is hunting down the Grand Elder.

The two quickly covered thousands of miles.

"Shuzi!"

The Grand Elder took out a divine talisman. Although the talisman was old and worn, it was immediately launched after he activated it. Its speed increased dramatically, and Chen Wang was left far behind.

Chen Wang flipped his palm, and a mirror slid out from his sleeve. The mirror grew longer in the wind, reflecting a beam of white light that remained firmly fixed on the location of the Grand Elder.

The elder's heart sank slightly. If this fight continued, Chen Wang would catch up with him sooner or later.

Judging from the exchange just now, he is far from being a match for Chen Wang.

The Grand Elder immediately crushed a piece of jade in his hand, hoping to gain the help of the Great Flame Heaven.

After the jade stone in his hand was crushed, a special aura rose up, just like the incense offered in a temple in the mortal world.

The Grand Elder frantically fled, unleashing a torrent of magical treasures as if they were free.

He was the behind-the-scenes controller of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, possessing countless magical treasures. Chen Wang was also overwhelmed by his magical treasures.

Chen Wang shouted, "You old thief, don't run away!"

He flipped his palm and took out the Dragon Spear. The Dragon Spear was extremely sharp. It emitted a dragon's roar in Chen Wang's hand and instantly pierced towards the Grand Elder.

boom!
Those magical artifacts were instantly shattered by the power of the dragon spear.

call out!
At this moment, the Grand Elder threw out another divine talisman, and a white Qilin appeared, rushing towards Chen Wang.

"Immortal talisman!?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow and immediately activated the Dragon Spear, intending to break through it with the Dragon Spear.

However, the Qilin passed right through the dragon spear without any hindrance and then crashed into Chen Wang.

This collision was no small matter; Chen Wang's primordial spirit was actually knocked out.

This was the first time Chen Wang had suffered such a severe blow. His primordial spirit could not return to its place and could not merge with his physical body, while the Qilin had disappeared.

Chen Wang's heart sank.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that old dog to have so many divine talismans!"

Chen Wang has received many experts during this period, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the Integration Stage. He has indeed underestimated the heroes of the world.

The Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land had many tricks up his sleeve, which caused Chen Wang to fall into his trap for a time.

Chen Wang immediately activated the Dao of Life and Death, breaking through the power left behind by the white Qilin before returning to his physical body.

But at this moment, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land had already fled far away.

If it weren't for the Mirror God's ability to lock onto him, Chen Wang would have already lost track of him.

Chen Wang gritted his teeth and said, "You old thief, I'm going to leave you here today!"

Chen Wang then chased after him at lightning speed. His figure swept past, stretching and distorting the space on both sides, as if drawing a straight line, and relentlessly approaching the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder's heart sank slightly.
"The Great Heat is too late to help me."

At this moment, the elder looked at Chen Wang and suddenly revealed a relieved smile, his eyes were surprisingly calm.

"I didn't want to do all this for someone else, but you've pushed me too far!!!"

The next moment, the aura of the Grand Elder suddenly changed, and a special mark appeared between his brows, which was a series of complex runes.

His aura then surged, continuously breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, eventually becoming more than ten times stronger than Chen Wang.

This is only a change in aura.

The Grand Elder's eyes were now filled with gold, his pupils disappearing, leaving only a faint golden light. "Didn't you say you'd kill me if I came down?"

Another person's voice came from inside him.

Chen Wang frowned.

The voice was very ancient; it must have been the powerful being who had made the move from afar earlier.

Chen Wang remained fearless in the face of the Grand Elder who was unleashing the God-Slaying Technique, and shouted sharply, "Come!"

They both saw each other as prey.

Chen Wang raised his hand and struck out, the Great Dao of Gods and Demons converging the divine and demonic paths, the two exploding in his palm.
With a deafening boom, the void was shattered.

However, his attack, which mobilized the Great Dao of Gods and Demons, did not harm the Grand Elder at this moment.

The golden light in the elder's eyes remained intense. He casually broke through Chen Wang's divine power and struck out with a palm, sending Chen Wang flying backward instantly.

The unfamiliar voice reappeared within the Grand Elder's body.
"The rogue cultivators of the lower realm are nothing special."

The voice was full of disdain; it belonged to Ancestor Yun'ao of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land.

At this moment, Ancestor Yun'ao took action with the help of the Grand Elder, whose mindset was extremely firm.

In a sense, he was the true seeker of truth, having given up many emotions.

At this moment, he opened his body without reservation, and Ancestor Yun'ao took the opportunity to descend and knocked Chen Wang away with a single move.

Chen Wang stepped out of the ruins, formed hand seals, and shouted: "With my blood as the catalyst and my soul as the mark, incantation!"

Just now, Ancestor Yun'ao injured Chen Wang with his first move.

At this moment, after Chen Wang formed the hand seal, Master Yun'ao felt vaguely that something was amiss.

The next moment, his chest felt as if it had been struck by a sledgehammer.
Bang bang bang!
It felt as if someone was constantly pounding his heart with a heavy hammer.

He felt a bit of difficulty breathing, and his life force was rapidly draining away.

Although the Grand Elder was originally an old man with an air of otherworldly grace, he is now aging rapidly, his teeth are falling out, and his hair is becoming sparse and messy.

Ancestor Yun'ao was somewhat moved: "A curse? What kind of curse is this?!"

Chen Wang sneered, "The people of the Great Yan Heaven are so ignorant. Why don't we pull you off your horse and let me go up?"

His hands continued to form mudras.

At this moment, the life force within Master Yun'ao erupted, and his body rapidly decayed and deteriorated, quickly turning into bones, with the flesh rotting and falling away.

Ancestor Yun'ao said coldly, "You do have some skills. No wonder you are so arrogant in your confrontation with the Great Flame Heaven."

"But you only killed a physical body. Next time I come down, it won't be so easy for you."

Chen Wang looked up, a smile on his face, and met the gaze of Ancestor Yun'ao.

Both of them wore identical expressions of smugness, confident of victory.

However, Master Yun'ao's smile soon faded.

Chen Wang had already destroyed the Grand Elder's body, and had just possessed the Grand Elder's primordial spirit.

He should have left gracefully, but unexpectedly he was still trapped in this decaying body.

The smile on Ancestor Yun'ao's face gradually froze as he struggled desperately to return to the Great Yan Heaven.

But he felt this suffocating force constantly surrounding him.

Chen Wang's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

This is the life-and-death blood curse he just comprehended!
He has the blessing of faith and a profound understanding of supernatural powers. Through continuous deduction, he has achieved his current level of expertise.

This was the first time he had used the Curse of Life and Death, and as expected, even the powerful force that Yun Ao had brought to the world could not withstand it.

Chen Wang used the Dao of Life and Death as a cage to imprison the will of Ancestor Yun'ao.

However, this will gave Chen Wang a deep look and said coldly, "You're playing with fire. Wait until I come down again, and I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Chen Wang smiled faintly: "I'll be waiting for you."

The next moment, the ancient will of this Great Flame Heaven shattered with a crash, choosing to annihilate itself.

Chen Wang looked up at the sky. He knew that the day when he reached the Tribulation Transcending stage was probably not far off.

……

During the hottest days of summer,
This place is rich in spiritual energy, and there are rare and precious herbs everywhere.

Inside the Shaoyang Palace, Ancestor Yun'ao suddenly opened his eyes, his face turning extremely pale.
"What a cultivator from the lower realm! He actually has such methods!"

Before long, a servant boy came to report.
"Master, Lord Yu Daoji has come to pay a visit."

Ancestor Yun'ao nodded slightly: "Please come in quickly."

Soon the boy led Yu Daoji over.

Upon seeing Ancestor Yun'ao, Yu Daoji smiled slightly and cupped his hands, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you don't look too well. Has something happened in the lower realm?"

Master Yun'ao sighed, "It's still a matter of the Dao Ning world."

Yu Daoji frowned slightly. He and Ancestor Yun Ao both came from the Dao Ning World, which was a great world and had the most people who ascended to the Great Yan Heaven back then.

Yu Daoji's face darkened, and he asked, "What happened to Dao Ning World again?"

Now that the Great Flame Heaven and the Mortal Realm are about to merge, these powerful beings are also preparing to reclaim some worlds for their own use, and the Dao Ning World is among the top contenders.

Ancestor Yun'ao said coldly, "It was that Chen Wang. I contacted my disciples and grand-disciples in the lower realm, intending to use them as the vanguard, but I didn't expect him to see through my plan and kill my grand-disciple."

Yu Daoji frowned and said, "Last time, when I followed Fang Xiandao to conquer the Great Zhou, it was also ruined by him."

Ancestor Yun'ao said, "This boy's cultivation of supernatural powers is extremely domineering. Without a suitable Dao body to descend to the mortal realm, even I am no match for him."

A suitable Dao Body requires special materials to be refined. Last time, Yu Daoji had such a Dao Body, which could unleash the power of a Great Perfection of the Integration Realm.

If a few more years pass and the Grand Elder successfully cultivates the God-Slaying Technique and completely transforms his physical body, then Ancestor Yun'ao will have a perfect vessel. But this time, it's still lacking.

Ancestor Yun'ao said, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Hua's place has also been discovered. With this kid around, I am very worried about the situation in Dao Ning World."

Yu Daoji's face was ashen. He was angry at the thought of Chen Wang and said, "Since that's the case, why don't we go and discuss it with Fellow Daoist Hua?"

Master Yun'ao nodded and said, "That's fine too."

……

In the Dao Ning World, Chen Wang has returned to the Ancient Immortal Holy Land and recounted the story of killing the Grand Elder.

The ancient immortal holy land was immediately thrown into an uproar.

Many people felt very conflicted. The Grand Elder's actions had chilled the hearts of many and would also offend other major powers in the future, putting the Ancient Immortal Holy Land in danger.

However, the Grand Elder was also the only Nascent Soul stage expert in the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, and had always been their protector. Now that this expert has fallen, the Ancient Immortal Holy Land's future situation will be difficult.

People's hearts were in turmoil, and many had other ideas, especially some elders who practiced the God-Slaying Technique.

"Ye Qingshuang is a Nascent Soul cultivator, and so am I. Why should I be afraid of her? Now that the Grand Elder is not here, why can't I sit in the position of Sect Master?"

Many people immediately had thoughts of seizing the throne.

In their view, the Grand Elder was just unlucky.
If they obtain the opportunity from the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, they might be able to re-establish contact with the Great Flame Heaven.
