On the Avenue.

Chapter 497: The Final Song of the Purple Palace Yuan Ding
Immortal Kou looked in the direction of the blood-red light and saw the Great Shang Heavenly Palace covered in flesh and blood, with countless pieces of flesh wriggling.

At this time, a mass of flesh and blood fell from the air and landed in the big pit. It slowly squirmed and stretched out its tentacles in all directions.

Zhong Wuwang's scalp tingled as he recalled his experiences on the Blood Moon and the Broken Heaven, and his heart was filled with fear.

Wu Qi, the greatest wizard of the Shang Dynasty, led the 300,000 years of accumulation of the Xuanniao Heavenly Court to fight against the culprit that caused the evil changes in heaven and earth. The Heavenly Court was destroyed, countless gods of the Shang Dynasty were killed, Wu Qi died in the battle, and finally the culprit was killed!

But judging from the vision here, the culprit’s original spirit or soul has not been destroyed, and it has penetrated the underworld and fallen here.

His soul decomposed, and demonic energy polluted the surroundings, forming the place with the heaviest demonic energy in the underworld, causing the creatures here to transform into demons.

Originally the creatures here were strange beasts from the Shang Dynasty. They should have turned into ghosts like Shen Shen, but because this person's soul decomposed, they became demonized and formed a monster that was half ghost and half demon.

And Huo Dou is one of them.

And the culprit took over the body in this merchant village.

Zhong Wuwang said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Kou Dao, let's go!"

Immortal Kou stared at the squirming flesh and blood, and suddenly his figure flashed, pulling him back rapidly.

He used his immortal skills to make the world seem close at hand. With one step, a thousand miles of mountains and rivers shrunk to an inch and passed by his feet in a flash. However, the merchant village was always in front of him, not too far away, and he could just see the dead merchants in the village.

Kou Xianren's heart sank: "I may have fallen into this person's dojo. No, it should be the realm of ghosts and gods! The dojo is upright and dignified, and the realm of ghosts and gods is so difficult to deal with!"

He switched his magical powers and performed the Gate to Heaven. A ladder appeared in the sky, and the other end seemed to be hanging in the fairyland.

Immortal Kou took Zhong Wuwang and climbed up the ladder to heaven like a smart monkey, quickly escaping into the sky.

In an instant, the two of them climbed out of the sky. Immortal Kou was delighted and looked up. He saw that the merchant village was hanging upside down in the sky, and the earth filled with demonic energy was also hanging upside down in the sky.

Immortal Kou's face changed slightly, and he returned the same way, only to see that the merchant village was still there.

He had never seen such a realm of ghosts and gods.

Suddenly, a piece of flesh and blood entered the body of a merchant. The merchant stood up straight and laughed, "I had a good sleep! Kou Daoqi, this place is where you will die today!"

Kou Xianren was slightly shocked: "He knows my real name!"

He was a survivor of the Shang Dynasty who fled to the Hill of Despair, and then called himself Kou Taoist. Later, when he joined the Tao at the Hill of Despair, he called himself Kou Immortal. Only a few people knew his real name.

The merchant suddenly flew up and rushed towards them with a strange and twisted posture.

As soon as he moved, the other dead merchants seemed to be connected by invisible threads, and flew up from the village and pounced on them!

Immortal Kou and Zhong Wuwang stood upside down in the sky, looking at the corpses rushing towards them. These dead merchants actually exuded an aura that was no weaker than that of immortals!
Fairy light bloomed between the eyebrows of the merchants, and a large round cauldron flew out from it, standing on three legs. Various gorgeous witchcraft and Taoist patterns appeared on the walls of the cauldron.

"These dead bodies are using my skills!"

Immortal Kou's heart was beating wildly. What these merchants were urging was the very technique that he used to achieve immortality, the Zifu Yuanding Jue.

This technique was realized after he studied thirteen kinds of immortal techniques and combined them with his own strengths.

This skill refines the Purple Palace into the Yuan Ding, which can absorb immortal light and immortal energy. It is not only a magic weapon of the immortals, but also a method of cultivation. When encountering an enemy, the Yuan Ding emerges from the Purple Palace, and the walls of the Ding surround him, forming an unbreakable defense. At the same time, when offering this Ding, he can also collect people and things, and he is always invincible.

He placed the Yuan Ding in his Purple Mansion, and his cultivation was much stronger than that of others. Even his former master Feng Ruotong was slightly inferior to him.

The reason why his Zifu Yuanding Jue is different from others is that there are strange witchcraft patterns on the surface of the Yuanding, which come from his bloodline. The people of the Great Shang Dynasty inherited their father's business. His ancestor served as a fire engineer under Zhu Rong in the court of the Great Shang Dynasty. Therefore, the witchcraft patterns contained in his blood are the patterns of the way of fire.

But the surface of the Yuan Ding of these dead bodies also showed the patterns of fire-working Taoism!

Immortal Kou definitely did not spread this martial art beyond the Hill of Despair, so how could these corpses know his martial arts?
The two sides clashed and collided with a loud bang, and each Yuan Ding burst out with infinite firepower, as if there were little suns hidden in the cauldron!
Although Zhong Wuwang had already achieved the Dao, when faced with such a powerful attack, he realized he was no match after only two or three moves.

Although he has already entered the realm of celestial immortals, his cultivation is still shallow compared to Kou Xianren and others. Being able to block two or three moves without being killed is already a remarkable achievement.

Suddenly, Zhong Wuwang lost his balance and was sucked into a merchant's Yuan Ding. In an instant, he was pulled into the Ding. Kou Xianren turned into a rainbow light and followed him into the Ding.

But there was blazing immortal fire everywhere in the cauldron, burning everything. As soon as Zhong Wuwang entered the cauldron, he immediately felt that he could not bear it, and all his cultivation seemed to be ignited!

At this time, another Yuan Ding descended from the sky and covered him under the Ding. The fairy fire around him was immediately extinguished. Zhong Wuwang only felt a coolness all around him. Looking up, he saw a big sun in the fairy Ding hanging in the air, burning fiercely with pure yang.

Immortal Kou landed beside him and said in a deep voice: "Wuwang, Rainbow Transformation Technique!"

Zhong Wuwang hurriedly activated the Rainbow Transformation Immortal Art, and the two of them were like two rays of rainbow light, flying thousands of miles in an instant and arriving at the edge of the huge cauldron. Immortal Kou took the lead and chopped out with his palm, and with a loud bang, the cauldron was split open, and the two of them flew out of the cauldron.

Before Zhong Wuwang could stand firmly, he saw that Immortal Kou had already broken the neck of the owner of the Yuan Ding, cracking his eyebrows. A wave of fire shot out from his eyebrows and burned the man's bones to ashes.

Immortal Kou closed his brows and took a long breath. His Yuan Ding suddenly disappeared into his body. Only clang clang clang sounds were heard. The merchants around him activated their Yuan Dings and bombarded them, but were blocked by the witch ritual patterns in the form of Yuan Ding that appeared around his body!

The merchants took back their Yuan Ding and were about to attack again when suddenly the witchcraft patterns around Immortal Kou fell on his body. The man was the Ding and the Ding was the man. He rushed towards one of the merchants and in a short moment he had launched dozens of attacks, smashing the merchant's Yuan Ding and killing him!

He turned around and turned into a rainbow light, then circled lightly in the air and came behind Zhong Wuwang. He used his body to block the attack of Shang Min who was about to kill Zhong Wuwang. He pointed his finger at the man's brow and broke his Zifu Yuanding Jue!
Blood oozes from the corner of Kou Xianren's mouth, and the merchant falls to the ground and dies.

"Wuwang, look around!"

As Kou Xianren fought against other merchants, his voice entered Zhong Wuwang's mind, "This person's body is not here, so he cannot exert his full strength. When he fights with me, his ghost and god realm will inevitably reveal a flaw. You are talented and intelligent, so you will definitely be able to see this flaw and escape from here!"

While Zhong Wuwang was fighting those merchants, he was observing his surroundings. The surroundings were dark and he could not see any flaws.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhong Wuwang's forehead. He almost died at the hands of the merchants several times because of distraction. Fortunately, Kou Xianren fought desperately and saved his life.

But the wounds on Kou Xianren's body were increasing. Although his attacks were still extremely fierce, his steps were a little staggering, and his energy and blood were not as strong as before.

Suddenly, Zhong Wuwang saw a flash of light, and what was revealed was not the underworld, but the scene of the world of the living. He couldn't help but be overjoyed.

When the light appeared again, he immediately activated the Rainbow Immortal Technique, stood up, turned into a rainbow light and flew into the light, using his own magic power to stop the light.

On the other side of the light is the world of the living!

"Brother Kou Dao, I found a flaw in the realm of ghosts and gods. Let's go!" He turned around and shouted.

Immortal Kou fought hard, forced back a group of merchants, and ran towards this side, but was immediately entangled by more than a dozen merchants, and other merchants ran towards Zhong Wuwang at a rapid speed.

Immortal Kou summoned up his remaining strength, fought his way out of the encirclement, and stopped the merchants who were chasing Zhong Wuwang. He shouted, "Wuwang, don't worry about me, you go first! If you go, I will have no burden. I will fight my way out of the encirclement and catch up with you!"

Zhong Wuwang hesitated, and more merchants came to attack him, but they were held back by Immortal Kou.

"Go away!" Immortal Kou shouted angrily.

Zhong Wuwang no longer hesitated, turned around and flew out of the light.

The sunlight poured down and shone into his eyes, somewhat blindingly.

Zhong Wuwang's eyes were filled with tears and his heart was filled with sorrow.

Immortal Kou may not be able to fight his way out of that realm of ghosts and gods.

"Uncle Master, you have to hold on. I'm going to find other Heavenly Dao Immortals!"

He rushed towards Tiandao City. Tiandao City was very far away from here. At his speed, he would not be able to reach there until tomorrow.

He tried his best and ran at lightning speed, but gradually his injuries began to take effect and his cultivation continued to decline.

From day to night, we only flew one-third of the distance.

Zhong Wuwang's flying speed was getting slower and slower. He knew that his injuries were too severe. If he forced himself to fly to Tiandao City, his injuries would only get worse.

He staggered to the ground, adjusted his skills, suppressed his injuries, and slowly recovered his magic power.

The moonlight shines down, and under the moonlight, the trees in the mountains and forests dance like ghosts.

At this moment, Zhong Wuwang sensed something and immediately stood up quickly, looking towards the shadows of the forest under the moonlight, and shouted, "Who's there?"

Footsteps were heard, and Kou Xianren, covered in blood and with a smile on his face, walked out of the shadows.

Zhong Wuwang was overjoyed, tears welled up in his eyes, and he ran towards Immortal Kou.

"Uncle Master, I thought you died in the underworld!"

He ran a few steps and suddenly stopped. He looked around and saw that the moonlight was getting dimmer and dimmer. The demonic energy was growing and spreading in all directions with Immortal Kou as the center.

The sky and the earth became increasingly darker.

Zhong Wuwang’s heart became increasingly heavy.

He looked up and saw a finger-sized hole between Kou Xianren's eyebrows, which was transparent from front to back.

"Wuwang, you recognized me, right?" Immortal Kou said with a smile, and there was a faint sound of flesh and blood wriggling in his head.

"No."

Zhong Wuwang shook his head repeatedly, feeling extremely frightened.

Kou Xianren smiled and said, "You recognized me. You know who I am. Come on, tell me your guess and let me see if it's correct."

Zhong Wuwang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "You are Feng Ruotong, the immortal of Feng!"

Kou Xianren's smile deepened: "I guessed wrong."

His figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared in front of Zhong Wuwang, pointing a finger at his forehead.

"Oh!"

The back of Zhong Wuwang's head exploded, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

Immortal Kou laughed loudly, leaped up like the air, and disappeared.

After a long time, the evil spirit around dissipated, and the moonlight fell on Zhong Wuwang's body.

On the surface of his corpse, the witch ritual patterns of the immortal magic slowly emerged and flowed slowly, repairing his brain bit by bit.
