Chapter 263 The Demon Lord Descends from Heaven, the God of the Underworld

A meteorite fell from the sky, engraved with demonic arts, and it happened to correspond to the number 108 of the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends...

Is there really such a coincidence in this world?

Liu Sheng felt a sense of doubt and subconsciously cracked his knuckles, thinking to himself:

"Or is there some... conspiracy hidden from outsiders?"

He was cautious by nature, and upon hearing what Du Bingyan said, he began to have doubts.

This matter sounds very strange, and it is similar to the stories of "foxes howling at midnight" and "books hidden in fish bellies," resembling certain legends of "auspicious omens" and "divine mandate."

It is full of traces of artificial carving.

However, given that there were immortals and Buddhas residing in this world and demons causing chaos, it is not surprising that there were indeed instances of demonic powers descending from heaven.

It's at most three parts true and seven parts false.

"My master started his martial arts journey with the Black Tiger Stance, laying a solid foundation and following the righteous path. However, he eventually entered the Dao through demonic arts. Although his combat power increased greatly at the time, it ultimately left behind hidden dangers."

Moreover, the deeper one's cultivation, the greater the calamity. If this calamity is not eliminated, there will eventually come a day of defeat and destruction.

However, the imperial court has been constantly issuing arrest warrants for him over the years, keeping him busy and leaving him no time to resolve the matter.

This feels...it seems like the imperial court is doing this on purpose?"

Liu Sheng frowned subconsciously, just as Du Bingyan continued:

"I asked my master, and he said that when Wu was given the title 'Heavenly Wound Star,' he must have practiced the 'Heavenly Wound Divine Skill.'"

He was one of the top masters in the world back then. Before becoming a bandit, he was known in the martial arts world as "Tai Sui Shen". After practicing that technique, he combined the righteous and evil, and his cultivation level improved even more.

Among the various villains of Mount Fajiu, they all rank among the top three.

However, he later fell out with Song Yingtian, known as the "Heavenly Star," and they eventually parted ways, with him retiring from the martial world...

That other one, however, enjoyed a meteoric rise in his official career, climbing the ranks from a mere rebel to the Grand Commandant, reaching the pinnacle of power.

The Heavenly Star among the 108 Fiends of Fajiu Mountain back then actually became the Grand Commandant of the current dynasty?

This is... utterly absurd!
Look at their skills, and then look at our master—

They were all from the same bandit gang, yet now that person lives a life of luxury and wealth, our master is constantly on the run, enduring wind and rain...

The difference is too big!
Liu Sheng gestured with his lips and asked some more questions about the villains of Fajiu Mountain, but unfortunately, her knowledge was limited and she gained very little.

"Roar--"

Just then, a deep tiger roar echoed from inside the cave.

Grief and indignation.

The murderous intent was so intense that it penetrated the thick stone wall, stirring up a fierce wind and malevolent energy outside the cave, which greatly alarmed Liu and Du.

The next moment, the sound of the blade pierced the air, like the clash of metal and stone, or the soft cry of a fledgling phoenix.

The wind howled and the clouds surged around the cliff face, and in the distance, the faint image of a divine general appeared—

Bare-chested, glaring, covered in wounds, wielding a monk's knife, spewing karmic fire from his mouth, surrounded by countless skeletons and mountains of corpses and seas of blood...

Just like that fleeting glimpse of the tiger chasing in the night at Wandou'ao!
Heavenly Wounded God General!

Without any explanation, Liu Sheng guessed the name of the phantom.

But to his shock, the phantom of the divine general was now slowly fading and dissolving!

A vibrant, ocean-like energy overflowed from the cave, instantly bringing coolness to the area.

Weeds growing in the cracks of rocks, vines climbing the cliffs, wildflowers, and sword grass all around all grow rapidly in the wind.

As if possessed, it rapidly climbed over every nearby peak, every inch of ground, and every rock.

At first glance, it looks like a green sea.

[Gained 378 Spirit Points]

[Gained 522 Spirit Points]

[Gained 737 Spirit Points]

……

At the same time, lines of ink-wash text scrolled across the screen, all notifications of Spirit Points being credited.

They are mostly around three digits.

In less than a breath, they harvested two or three thousand.

Both he and Du Bingyan had experienced this situation when using Yangzhi Ganlu (a type of sweet dew).

It wasn't as exaggerated as it appears now. After all, Wu Song used three drops at once!
However, such a commotion could be seen from a great distance, and it might alert the Prince of Jin's heir, or Xie Bao and his group...

At this time, Wu Song was at his weakest!
"I hope Master can finish this before the enemy arrives."

Liu Sheng glanced at the cave with a worried look in his eyes, then ordered the Sky-Splitting Sparrow and the Fire Crow to take off and keep watch.

At the same time, I silently adjusted my breathing and prepared for battle, just in case.

Perhaps most of those who entered the ruins are already dead. Prince Jin and Xie Bao have already set off for the Heavenly Palace.

This proved Liu Sheng's worries unfounded.

Even after the illusory image of the Heavenly Wounded General in mid-air completely dissipated, no living being came.

This relieved the two who were on high alert.

Two hours later.

"Buzz~"

The entire cliff trembled, cracks appeared everywhere, rocks tumbled down, and dust and mud swirled, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

Weeds, vines, wildflowers, sword grass, and other wild plants all collapsed, fell, and crumbled into dust.

"Retreat! This cliff is about to collapse!"

Liu Sheng gasped, and with a thought, he withdrew his other avatars. The Sky-Splitting Sparrow swooped down, grabbed him and Du Bingyan, and flew away into the distance.

"boom--!!!"

The next moment, a deafening roar resounded, its echoes stretching for miles.

The entire cliff collapsed completely!

Large swathes of rocks and boulders clashed and splashed, while milky white steam surged and boiled, hurling fragments of grass and wood into the air, pulverizing them and mixing them with endless dust to blot out the sky.

The sky darkened and the earth became gloomy.

"Good heavens, Master's entrance is comparable to that of the Monkey King!"

Liu Sheng climbed onto the sparrow's back and, together with Du Bingyan, gazed at the scene from a distance of more than ten miles away, and couldn't help but marvel at it.

But he was immediately overjoyed and completely relieved.

The fact that Master was able to collapse an entire cliff in the ruins demonstrates his plan to refine his innate qualities and rebuild his foundation for cultivation...

It worked!
His cultivation and combat strength have been fully restored.

Otherwise, how could a cliff be shattered?
Keep in mind that this is an ancient ruin with abundant earth veins and a stable spatial environment.

If this had happened outside, the damage caused would likely have been enough to collapse a mountain range.

"Roar--!"

Just then, a tiger's roar came, earth-shattering and filled with murderous aura.

It caused even the winds and clouds to change color.

Even though they were more than ten miles apart and high in the air, Liu and Du both experienced dizziness, tinnitus, and mental shock.

"Hahaha, I've succeeded!"

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure soared through the clouds, reaching mid-air, and laughed heartily towards the sky.

The clouds beneath his feet changed shape, eventually becoming the form of a black tiger, which carried him as he rode the clouds.

His hair was disheveled, his monk's robes were tattered, a white bone Buddhist bead hung on his chest, a yellow gourd hung at his waist, and he carried a nine-ringed monk's knife in his hand.

Who else could it be but Wu Song?

only……

This is so handsome!
With a thought, Liu Sheng noticed that the Sky-Splitting Sparrow had taken the initiative to approach.

On the back of the black tiger was Wu Song, who was about ten feet tall, with all his limbs intact and a dignified appearance.

His eyes gleamed with a cold light, his eyebrows were like painted lacquer, his chest was broad, and his bearing was imposing, like a lion shaking the heavens descending from the clouds, or an ancient god descending to the mortal world.

It's like a devil descending from the sky, he is really the Tai Sui God on earth!
"Alright, now I can go wild!"

Liu Sheng suppressed his excitement and bowed respectfully to offer his congratulations:

"Congratulations, Master, on breaking free from your cage and being reborn!"

Upon seeing this, Du Bingyan also offered her congratulations repeatedly, her attitude respectful, like a young bride meeting her parents.

"My good disciple, come here!"
