Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 168 Infernal Affairs
Territory, Cangzhou Prefecture, Jiuhua Mountain City.

"A place like the Dead Realm is so deformed and twisted that it shouldn't exist."

"Other planets are definitely not this chaotic."

"It's just that the four realms of Earth and Moon are too weak to sort out the Earth Realm."

"It is by allowing its branches to bend and grow freely that this kind of scenery is created."

Shi Xuan raised his head and looked at Jiang Jian, "In the future, I will try my best to stay conscious and wait here."

"Wait for the day when the earth returns to normal."

"If one day you achieve success in your cultivation and become as powerful as nature, you will be able to turn the world upside down."

"Please remember that there are still ugly corners like this on the back of the Earth."

“More importantly, remember to get it back on track.”

“It needs rules to govern it.”

"The dead need a quiet rest."

"This, after all, is the Earth, Moon, and Four Realms, the final resting place of billions of living beings after death."

Speaking of it.

Shi Xuan smiled bitterly, "My mother, she misses me so much."

"Her consciousness has never dissipated. Instead, she has maintained it until now with her overwhelming willpower."

"The only sane thought she has left is me."

"After I got the bracelet, I could hear her calling every night."

"The day I arrived at the world of the dead and saw her like this, I had only one thought in my mind, which was to free her."

"Take off her face, replace her, and stay here."

“Perhaps, this is my fate.”

"But I don't regret it."

Shi Xuan moved his fingers and a seal appeared.

"This is the seal to activate the Jade of the Dead."

"When I take off my face, you activate the seal technique and destroy her face."

"This way, she can sleep peacefully without any worries."

behind him.

The dead man who was three stories tall was shaking even more violently.

It seems like I can wake up at any time and anywhere.

Jiang Jian's eyes trembled and he tried to activate the seal.

The dead man's jade in his hand trembled, and wisps of gray gas emerged.

With a thought, Jiang Jian took out a part of it to protect his soul.

The breath of strangers is hidden deeper.

"The time is coming."

Shi Xuan turned around, his figure was thin and frail, like paper.

next second.

His body shook, and the gray air on his soul dissipated.

The few remaining traces of life are clearly visible!

Boom.

The dead man was three stories high, his ears kept falling off all over his body, and he was about to open his eyes almost immediately!
As if sensing this breath.

Outside the attic, many dead people stared blankly at this place.

Shi Xuan didn't hesitate at all. He used his remaining spiritual power, stepped hard on the ground, and leaped more than ten meters into the air, revealing the original face of the dead man on the third floor!

Time seemed to stand still.

As if sensing something, the dead man's eyelids trembled violently, and were about to open in the next second!

Shi Xuan's body froze briefly, his palms filled with gray air as he grasped the edge of the face.

There was an expression of unspeakable despair as he tore it apart fiercely!
Wow!

The face was torn off alive, and the next second, countless dead ears popped out!

Holding it in his hand, Shi Xuan's palm trembled and he didn't even dare to look at it.

With his mind twisted in agony, he landed before it turned into ashes and growled, "Jiang Jian! Help me kill her!"

Jiang Jian remained silent, but his hands did not stop moving. He made a hand seal and a gray gas rolled out, directly wrapping up the face!

The gray air dissipated.

Amidst the spreading black light, this face had already shattered and dissipated, never to be seen again.

Shi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then stood there blankly, as if he had lost all his strength.

"The boundaries of our Earth shouldn't be like this."

Shi Xuan smiled miserably and muttered to himself. Countless dead ears appeared all over his body and completely submerged him in an instant!

Countless resentful roars and struggles arose!

The three-story dead body collapsed in an instant!

Hundreds of thousands of dead faces twisted and swirled, all drilling into Shi Xuan's body!
Jiang Jian was in a complicated mood. He took one last look at it and without stopping, he retreated violently!

"The time is almost up."

After leaving the attic and looking at the sky as pale as paper, Jiang Jian's heart became even colder.

Shi Xuan used negative energy to bring him to the world of the dead.

This is the most recent time that Jiang Jian has faced death threats here!
This feeling of powerlessness is almost suffocating.

But deep down, Jiang Jian never thought of giving up even for a second.

all the time.

Jiang Jian was thinking about how to escape from the world of the dead.

"Less than half an hour left."

As his thoughts surged, Jiang Jian hurried forward with a gloomy face, heading towards the west gate of Jiuhua Mountain City.

In order to help his mother get rid of her suffering, Shi Xuan sent the Dead Man's Jade to everyone in the study team.

The so-called "I won't harm you" and "giving you gifts" are all lies and scams.

Shi Xuan's target was not Liu Tiezhu and his men at all.

Those are just a cover.

His goal from the beginning to the end was Jiang Jian!

Until the last moment.

Shi Xuancai taught Jiang Jian how to use the Dead Man's Jade.

This shows how deep his calculations are.

But Shi Xuan still has a conscience in his heart.

In the end, there was still a chance for Jiang Jian to survive.

At the intersection of the two worlds, an exit to the earth will briefly appear. This is true.

Activating the Jade of the Dead can conceal the breath of the living, which is also true.

"The west gate of Jiuhua Mountain City."

The towering city wall was getting closer, but Jiang Jian's expression was getting colder and colder.

Because the sky, as pale as paper, was gradually covered with the darkness of despair.

The sky of the earth was originally endless darkness.

Only when the two realms intersect, daytime will appear in the earth realm at the brief intersection.

The darkness was boundless and swallowed everything.

From the farthest reaches of the sky, it spread wildly towards Jiuhua Mountain City!
The pale sky, like white paper splashed with ink, was rapidly stained by darkness.

The speed at which it spreads is breathtaking!
When Jiang saw this, he was originally plotted against by Shi Xuan, but he had no place to vent his emotions, and his heart was burning with anger.

As he hurried, a terrifying vortex emerged deep in his pupils.

"I pride myself on being cautious and having innate wisdom."

"After capturing the two prefectures' academic leaders, assembling resources, and breaking into the Yongquan realm, he actually developed a sense of pride."

"I thought I would be safe from danger with my own means, so I headed to the bank of the Shao River."

"In the end, I still had to swallow the bitter fruit."

"Shi Xuan tricked me."

Jiang Jian's eyes showed not only reflection, but also cold murderous intent, and he roared!

If there is enough time.

Seeing this, Jiang would definitely take action without hesitation to kill Shi Xuan!

But they know very little about the dead.

It is very likely that Shi Xuan has some hidden means.

If you act rashly, you will be held back by him.

I might be stuck here in the world of the dead forever, with no chance of reincarnation!

same.

If I had not listened to Shi Xuan's words just now and had not destroyed that face.

As a result, his face grew on Shi Xuan's body.

Then Shi Xuan would definitely go crazy immediately!

Immediately, you will be in danger!

Time is running out.

I simply don't have time to deal with it here.

Every minute saved is a minute more of life!
"From now on."

“At all times, you need to remain calm and composed.”

"You must never have any arrogance!"

As he flew rapidly, countless things flashed through Jiang Jian's mind!

Although I forced myself to calm down.

However, the frustration of being plotted against became more and more intense, and the raging fire in his heart roared, its surging and fierce enough to be overwhelming!

Shi Xuan didn't leave much time for himself at all!
in other words.

In Shi Xuan's heart, he didn't care whether others could escape from the world of the dead.

The surface of the earth and the boundary of the earth, the two boundaries meet, and it takes about a day.

But the time Shi Xuan chose was that night.

This can be seen.

His selfishness has reached the extreme!

"The ugliness of human hearts is far worse than that of demons and ghosts."

"It's human nature."

"I can only blame myself for being careless and getting tricked."

"This is the first time."

"It's also the last time."

Jiang Jian's eyes were cold, and countless chaotic thoughts arose.

"From today onwards."

“Never trust anyone again.”

"Any living being except myself."

"If we can escape this time." "The priority of refining the dimensional space must be raised to the highest level!"

Thoughts raced.

Jiang Jian stopped and looked forward.

The towering city gate stands in deathly silence.

Several tall dead men were walking back and forth not far away.

A few dozen meters away, at the corner of the city gate.

A pale gate of light floated quietly.

The edge of this door is irregular and is shaking all the time.

Obviously, its existence is not stable.

What made Jiang's eyes darken when he saw this was.

Those dead men kept wandering in front of the light gate.

But to enter the surface entrance, you must have the breath of a living person!
The dead cannot enter the surface world!
As for Shi Xuan, due to the special method used by his mother, his soul became half living and half dead, so he can travel between the two worlds.

But if Jiang Jian wants to go to the surface world, the breath of life on his soul must be fully revealed before he can step into the light gate!

At this point.

Time is getting tighter.

The darkness at the end of the sky rolled in like splashed ink!

"Karma fire!"

Seeing this, Jiang didn't hesitate at all.

As he quickly moved forward, he pinched the seal and all the dead ashes on his soul disappeared!
The blazing frosty white flames burst out from the sleeves of his robe, directly engulfing several dead people!

Boo!

An unpleasant burning smell came, and several dead people let out unpleasant howls and struggled frantically in the fire!

Jiang Jian did not stop. He flicked his golden and white robe sleeves, used his spiritual power, twisted his body, and turned into black light.

The next second, he appeared directly in front of the light gate!
So close to the end of the world!

His human aura is completely exposed!

In all directions, countless dead bodies froze.

Then, all the organs in the body twisted and rushed here like crazy!

Boom!
Jiang Jian took a step forward, but it seemed as if he hit an iron plate and was bounced back half a step. The spiritual energy around him rippled like water!
The light gate still glowed white.

But the light curtain above it is extremely solid and no living creature can cross it.

"This is the boundary wall!"

"This place is not the entrance or exit where the two worlds meet!"

Jiang Jian stood there, stunned for a moment, a flash of lightning passed through his mind, and suddenly there was a loud explosion!

"Shi Xuan, you didn't even want me to leave alive!"

"What was said before is almost all false!"

Think of this.

Jiang Jian's eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent!
My emotions were surging rapidly, and all the truths that had been vague before were revealed!

The light gate in front of us is at most the place where the boundary wall of the two worlds meets.

If this is the place, it is the entrance and exit of the land.

Then Shi Xuan rolled himself up and fell into the earth. He would not enter through the villages or towns, but would come directly to Jiuhua Mountain City!

"The real exit is the village we came from!"

"To get there, you need to go to the east gate of Jiuhua Mountain City!"

The moment of analyzing the truth.

When Jiang saw this, his heart roared and the roar shook the sky!
At the end of the sky, darkness surged even faster, almost reaching a point within reach!

Countless dead bodies, densely packed, surged forward!

Jiang Jian's expression strangely returned to calm.

Between the golden and white robes, indescribable white flames rose up into the sky!

boom!
Under the crazy infusion of spiritual energy, the frosty white fire stream rolled over more than a dozen dead people, turning them all into powder!
Jiang Jian took a step forward, and his figure twisted and disappeared.

Amidst the interweaving of black light, he appeared again, and in an instant he was a hundred meters away!
At this point.

The breath of strangers can no longer be hidden, and there is no need to hide it!
Jiang Jian met with a blank expression and used the phrase "so close yet so far away" repeatedly.

Karmic fire surrounded his body, crushing dozens of dead people along the way, and he quickly headed towards the east gate of Jiuhua Mountain City!

More dead people with strange faces rushed towards Jiang Jian!

Countless dead body organs grew out in the sky and fell towards Jiang Jian!

"Stay!"

"Don't go!"

"Stay here!"

"Once you enter the realm of the dead, you are dead. You should stay here!"

"do not go!"

The dead laughed strangely and called out.

Every call is a terrifying attack on the soul!

Boom!
Star armor suddenly appeared around Jiang Jian!
Countless sound waves, as well as the spiritual attacks that came with them, were all bounced away!

This piece of technological equipment has an extremely strong ability to protect the soul!
gradually.

The dead people blocking the road are becoming more and more deadly.

They even used the means of death!
Boom!
The Star Armor shook again!
The jingling sound never stops!
The light of the stars on it dimmed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Getting closer and closer to the city gate.

Jiang Jian took a step forward and moved another hundred meters away, appearing in front of the East City Gate!

next second.

A dead man, three meters tall and covered with noses, flew out and blocked Jiang Jian's way!
boom!
Time was running out, Jiang Jian didn't stop at all, his body twisted and turned into colorful lightning, tearing through the sky and crushing it into pieces!

Rainbow after the rain!

In an instant, Jiang Jian had landed at the edge of the city gate!
at the same time.

What made Jiang Jian's heart sink was.

The light in front of my eyes dimmed a little.

God, it's getting dark.

As the earth moves.

Where the two worlds meet, they gradually separate.

When it gets dark, it means that you have completely fallen into the underworld and there is no hope of escape.

If spiritual energy cannot be replenished, it is like water without a source or a tree without roots.

Once it is exhausted.

He will definitely die.

Jiang Jian walked outside the city gate and looked at the nothingness in front of him with a surprisingly calm expression.

From mountain cities to villages and towns.

It is also necessary to activate the Dead Jade to reveal an illusory portal.

But Shi Xuan did not tell himself about this method of activation.

Behind them, hundreds of dead bodies were chasing after them.

"Shi Xuan, you did a great job."

Jiang Jian smiled.

next second.

He turned around and was facing countless dead people.

Pale, slender fingers extended from the golden and white sleeves.

He pulled a broken wooden sword from the straps at his side and took it in his hand.

"Han Guang."

Jiang Jian made a sword flower and called out softly.

The wooden sword trembled slightly, and the cracks in its wooden shell seemed to become bigger.

There was also a lot of sawdust falling down.

But at the moment.

This sword is still unusable.

The moment the wooden shell begins to molt, it becomes its shackles.

Only when the wooden shell is completely shattered can its original appearance be revealed.

"Shi Xuan, I know you are watching here."

Jiang Jian took a step forward, and walked towards the attic amidst the interweaving of black light.

"It's a pity that all your calculations have come to nothing."

In the attic below, there was deathly silence.

No response came.

Fine streams of light are everywhere.

Jiang Jian appeared on the roof of the attic, his robe sleeves fluttering.

A refractive crystal stone, taken in hand.

Space core.

"You did so much just to free your mother."

"For this, I am willing to sacrifice others."

Jiang Jian took the space core and said softly, "From your selfish point of view, perhaps you are not wrong."

"But the person you want to sacrifice is me."

The refracting crystal emits light.

Something was hanging in front of him.

It was a distorted and struggling human face!

When Shi Xuan took off his face, Jiang Jian did not use the Dead Man's Jade to destroy it.

Instead, wrap it with gray air first.

Then use the level 6 "So Close Yet So Far Away" to directly transfer it to yourself and put it into the space core!

The core of space is something that transcends the four realms of Earth, Moon and Earth.

This human face, placed inside, would become stagnant.

But according to the boundary rules of the earth, it is considered to have dissipated.

Only then could Shi Xuan follow the original plan and replace his mother and become the huge dead man.

boom!
The attic was broken into in an instant!
Rubble collapse!

The huge dead man with ears all over his body stood up and stared at Jiang Jian with resentment!

"See you Jiang!"

Countless voices overlapped, echoing innumerable times, shrill roars.

It swayed its bloated body, many dead ears falling off, and its expression was ferocious. "You actually betrayed me and secretly kept a trick up your sleeve!"

Jiang Jianmian was expressionless and didn't explain. With his spiritual energy surging, he held the face and said, "Tell me immediately how to open the passage to the village."

The face was twisted and struggling, floating to the side.

He was nearly seen by Jiang and thrown into the pile of dead bodies below.
