"This is my child, Choi Ming."
Cho Ming, an ancient mythical beast, the son of Hou Tu, was blessed by the Milky Way and controls time.
Zhao Ning had never thought that such a bird could be Choming, the ancient god of time, but it obviously looked like it was still in its infancy and was riddled with scars.
"In ancient times, a god killed it, cut off one of its claws, and gained part of the power of time."
Cho Ming lay on Houtu Empress' lap and sobbed.
"In thirty million years, I can only gather this remnant of its soul."
Only then did Zhao Ning realize that the physical choking in front of him was not actually real, but just the appearance of a remnant soul. Perhaps in front of these gods who could reach heaven and earth, there had long been no boundary between soul and body.
"Time is messed up, the river is reversed, laws collapse, creation is shaken, and catastrophe is coming again."
Empress Houtu murmured, Zhao Ning seemed to have forgotten her fear, and her mind went blank for a moment. Perhaps even the struggle above the mighty power she had seen in the future with the help of the power of Cho Ming was nothing in these two crosses.
"Let Yan Ming return to the world and let him find what he lost. Maybe it's still too late."
Zhao Ning's eyes fell on Cho Ming, how could a ray of remnant soul return?
I saw Empress Hou Tu unfolding her left hand, and her choking appearance gradually faded away. It fell into Empress Hou Tu's palm and turned into a ray of soul. The holy light enveloped the soul and formed a ball of light. He pushed forward gently, and the ball of light It flew into Zhao Ning's hands.
Zhao Ning held the ball of light and seemed to see the choking cry curled up in the ball of light. She only heard Empress Houtu say, "Send it into the pool of reincarnation, and it will lose its divine power and be reincarnated in the human world, starting from scratch."
"Mother Houtu, the Samsara Pond only exists in ancient legends. Now there are no clues about the Samsara Pond in Kyushu. How should I find it?" Zhao Ning asked. The legendary Samsara Pond is the place where gods and men are reincarnated. Nowadays, reincarnation is run by the way of heaven. After death, living beings automatically enter reincarnation, eliminate everything in this life, and return to the human world. There is no longer a saying about the pool of reincarnation.
"You can ask Jinwu."
Empress Houtu gave an answer that surprised Zhao Ning. The Golden Crow, the divine bird of the sun, was also a mythical beast that appeared in ancient legends.
Perhaps noticing Zhao Ning's confusion, Empress Houtu smiled and gave her another sentence, "It's still in Jiuzhou, at this moment."
And He said, "You have seen it."
But Zhao Ning became more and more puzzled. She searched her memory but couldn't find the answer, but Empress Houtu no longer answered.
Empress Houtu waved her hand again, and the trident wrapped in Thunder Soul Wood from outside the hall flew in. The trident was in the center of the hall, and with Empress Houtu's finger, it turned into countless star points, and the stars' auras reunited. , turned into a palace lantern.
The palace lantern fell into Zhao Ning's hands, and the ball of light wrapped in the choking remnant soul seeped into the palace lantern and lit up the palace lantern.
"This palace lantern is called the Innate Holy Virtue Eternal Light Lamp. It has the power of life. If you let Cho Ming live in the lantern, you can get a trace of the power to reverse time and space. This thing is for you."
"Thank you so much for the gift, Empress Houtu." Zhao Ning said, "It's just that when you use it, it may hurt the soul of Choming."
"Unless the eternal lamp of innate saintliness is completely destroyed."
"Zhao Ning, remember this."
After Empress Hou Tu finished her explanation, Zhao Ning saw that the surrounding hall was gradually becoming illusory, and realized that Empress Hou Tu was about to disappear.
He could only ask in a hurry, "Ms. Houtu, beyond this place is the Yangshen Realm that was created in one or three thousand years. The growth of creatures in this realm is accelerated and their life span is shortened. Is this related to the missing claw of Choming?"
Empress Houtu's voice became erratic, "Yes, and no."
Seeing that Empress Tu was not willing to completely reveal the secret, Zhao Ning just asked another question.
"Empress, if Zhao Ning wants to return to Kyushu, can he really only go through the wooden ladder to heaven?"
"Jianmu? My child, Jianmu grows at the end of the Tianhe River, how could it appear here." Zhao Ning was shocked, but Empress Houtu was still sure, "But there is indeed a road to Kyushu."
The Void Hall completely dissipated, and the remnant consciousness of Houtian Empress also turned into fly ashes.
Zhao Ning only heard a loving comfort in her ears.
"Don't be afraid, kid, just go ahead."
Chapter 164
As Empress Houtu completely disappeared from the human world, the entire ancient palace collapsed and everything was being destroyed.
Zhao Ning took a few steps back and saw the situation as if the sky was falling. He quickly ran behind him, but as soon as he ran out of the hall, he saw that the stone statues on the square had also been shattered. Maybe this thing had died long ago. , all that remains is a shadow.
She ran forward, chasing after the ancient hall that collapsed very quickly. Before Zhao Ning could escape to the long road, her feet were immediately empty, and her whole body fell downwards along with the collapsing rubble all around, but Zhao Ning discovered during the fall that the air restrictions and cultivation suppression had been completely lifted.
Those restrictions may come from the ancient halls, which are the reverence for the gods set by the laws in the world. They are not allowed to control the air or move rashly.
Chamoon Sword quickly appeared at his feet, and Zhao Ning Yujian swam among the falling rubble. These rubbles were very dense, making it difficult for Zhao Ning to dodge, but fortunately these things did not have any extra Even if it is hit, it will not have any impact.
The area covered by the ancient hall was really huge, and the collapse seemed to be endless. Zhao Ning rushed upward through the gaps where countless fragments fell, until he broke out of the scope of the ancient hall. He wielded his sword to the top of the ancient hall. Watching the ancient hall collapse with the main hall as the center and radiating to the surroundings.
Zhao Ning paused for a moment in the sky, then looked up into the endless darkness. No one knew how high it was. Even if Zhao Ning fell from above, she couldn't estimate how long she had been falling. Zhao Ning saw the long staircase again.
Yujian flew in the direction of the long steps, with some doubts in his heart. This long step did not lead to the Nine Clouds Thunder Punishment Platform.
It wasn't until Zhao Ning flew near the long steps and saw long or short long steps extending down in the darkness that Zhao Ning realized that there were countless long steps extending downward in this space, with different lengths. There might be one long step after all. steps to the bottom.
At this moment, a trace of curiosity arose in Zhao Ning's heart. Who has the ability to build so many long steps? Or is it that these long steps were created by themselves under the influence of the extremely Yin land? Then , what exactly is at the bottom, and why do these long steps extend to the bottom.
Zhao Ning hesitated on the spot for a moment, and did not continue to fly upwards, but followed the collapse of the hall and went downwards.
She stopped flying with her sword and landed directly on a huge stone, falling along the stone.
The further down, Zhao Ning felt more and more chill, as if he was in an ice cellar. Zhao Ning felt a little bit that the cold air was extremely heavy. When he was originally teleported into this place, Zhao Ning thought that the Nine Clouds Thunder Punishment Platform was a living thing. Punishment, countless creatures died, and the Yin Qi was formed.
At this moment, Zhao Ning suspected that it might not be caused by it. On the contrary, it might be because the ancient hall was so intimidating that the place of extreme Yin did not cause too much chaos.
Zhao Ning was slightly prepared. It seemed that the place at the bottom must be a truly extremely yin place.
As the flying rocks descended and passed through the heavy mist, Zhao Ning could vaguely see the bottom after an unknown amount of time, but the initial coldness seemed to have dissipated a lot.
Zhao Ning rolled and fell to the ground. There were countless rubbles of different sizes and ruggedness piled on the ground. At a glance, it was unclear how many layers had been piled up. The ground might even have been raised by dozens of feet.
Walking on the ground paved with gravel, gradually, there was no more gravel falling from the sky.
Zhao Ning continued to move forward. There was no light in this place. He could only see the front clearly with a little light in Zhao Ning's eyes, and the range of vision was only about ten feet.
But Zhao Ning walked a long way and saw no other abnormalities. The ground was all paved with gravel.
"Is it just like this down there?" Zhao Ning didn't believe it. She tried to explore the source of the extremely yin place. Feeling the direction in which the cold was spreading, she finally found a direction, flew forward, and walked for a while , and I could clearly feel that the pile of rubble under my feet was lowering, as if it was about to leave the collapsed area of the ancient hall.
But when Zhao Ning had just taken a few steps, he felt something strange. There was a slight rolling sound from the gravel pile under his feet, as if something was drilling under the gravel pile. Zhao Ning hadn't noticed the source yet, and suddenly Feeling a gust of wind coming from behind, she ducked away, only to find that it was just a stone thrown at her.
Zhao Ning looked at the way she came. Along the way, she didn't sense anything else hidden in it. Where did the stone come from?
At this moment, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Zhao Ning's heart, and she leaned back for a moment. At this moment, the stone flew up and hit her where she was originally upright.
The next moment, I saw countless large and small stones flying in the air, surrounding them on three levels inside and three outside.
Zhao Ning now understood that even the long steps could be alive and run around in the void, so why couldn't these stones piled up in the extremely dark place.
The spirits born from these things are not as intelligent as monster beasts. They are like things parasitized by ghost energy, greedily preying on Yin energy.
And blood is a very yin thing.
Zhao Ning opened his palm and saw a trace of blood. It should have been accidentally rubbed on the stone when falling. Even though it had been completely healed, the trace of blood seemed to have been planted in the poor spiritual consciousness of these poor people. He got the mark and came only for Zhao Ning.
But Zhao Ning wasn't even afraid of ancient gods like Tu Bo, so how could he be afraid of these evil things?
The dragon tooth thorns rotated in the palm of his hand. Every time he picked them, the animated stones turned into pieces. When Zhao Ning broke through the first encirclement, he realized that he could not fight like this. He had seen too many of these stones along the way. , no one knows whether they will all come to life in an instant and besiege them. By then, the real energy they have gathered will be exhausted, and they will not be able to find a chance to escape.
The seeds of the Ghost Crying Vine fell between the cracks of the rocks. They took root in the cracks of the rocks. They emerged from the ground in an instant. Under the control of the Zhao Ning Technique, they grew with such force that they instantly shook away the second layer of stones that surrounded them. .
The branches of the vines spread to the outside, in all directions, leaving no stone unturned. They were constantly whipped and opened the way, so that these living stones finally sensed the threat and realized that it seemed impossible to swallow up this rare thing with the power of the group. delicious.
In an instant, these stones were like stone steps in the void, running away in all directions.
The airflow gathered under the stones, as if they were real, making the stones that were flying around seem to have legs.
These stones are really capable of running away. In such chaos, not one of them collides with other stones. There is no order but there is a hidden pattern.
Zhao Ning stood on the high branch of the Ghostly Crying Vine for a moment, watching the stones running around, as if she sensed something. If it were all things in the world, if it was the same in practice...
But at this moment, these stones suddenly became chaotic. The stone spirit running towards Zhao Ning's left suddenly retreated like crazy and collided with other stones. For a moment, the whole air was in chaos. His eyes narrowed slightly, what was coming?
The earth began to tremble, and the stones floating in the sky seemed to have their spirits shattered by the tremor, falling to the ground one after another, followed by the ordinary stones shaking up and down.
For a moment, the sky seemed clear. Zhao Ning fell to the ground and the Ghost Crying Vine was recovered. She took a few steps back. In her spiritual eyes, she could faintly feel a huge thing approaching. Zhao Ning knew that she couldn't wait for that thing to get close, so she turned around and ran with her sword. And escape.
But he didn't expect that such an action seemed to stimulate the huge thing. The thing's movements obviously sped up, as if it was also running with Zhao Ning, and the gravel on the ground rose and fell like a wave, advancing forward.
In less than half a cup of tea, Zhao Ning had already seen the true appearance of the thing. It was a huge stone man, with debris all over his body. His head was shaped like a skull, with two huge holes left in the eye sockets. Hollow, the white spirit fire dances in the hollow.
He seemed to see Zhao Ning. He raised his arm and made a fist in his hand. The huge fist was almost as big as a mountain. The fist hit Zhao Ning straight down, and the shadow almost covered half a mile in radius.
With a bang, the fist hit the ground, the rubble pile sank nearly ten feet, and thick dust spread in the huge pit.
The stone giant raised his hand and glanced at the huge pit with great intelligence, but there was no squashed corpse inside.
At the moment when the fist hit, Zhao Ning used the Five Ghost Moving Technique and moved directly to the back of the stone giant.
Roar--
It was as if I could hear the angry roar of this stone giant.
Zhao Ning couldn't take care of much, so she could only use her sword control skills to the extreme and fly forward.
The creatures here are like the "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" who appeared in the ancient hall. Their general strength cannot be judged by conventional cultivation. Zhao Ning does not want to accept a blow from this guy to grasp how powerful it is.
But it must not be a first-level spirit monster. The moment the stone monster raised his fist, he seemed to sense the direction of Zhao Ning. He turned and rushed towards Zhao Ning. It was only at this moment that Zhao Ning could really see the status of this guy. He Half of his body sank completely into the stone ground. He was pushing the stone forward, so it was no wonder that the ground moved forward with undulations.
This state did not slow down his speed. Maybe his speed had slowed down, but it was still unbearable for Zhao Ning. His hands kept beating the ground, but his speed was still slightly faster than Zhao Ning.
The distance between them is getting closer.
Soon, the stone giant swung one hand from Zhao Ning's side, and Zhao Ning used the Chamoon Sword to dodge, and then swung his other hand from the other direction. Zhao Ning managed to get out of the way twice, so dexterously. Zhao Ning's sword-wielding moves were unimaginable when Zhao Ning first established his foundation. It can only be said that in times of crisis, all unskilled skills will grow rapidly.
Zhao Ning watched the stone giant getting closer and closer, and was shocked. She couldn't imagine what it was that caused so many weird things to be born deep in the underground.
She suddenly turned around in the air, and the dragon's tooth thorn in her hand exploded with a dragon's roar, and stabbed at the stone giant's palm. The destructive force rushed into the giant's palm along the dragon's tooth thorn. In an instant, the giant's The palm of his hand shattered into countless small stones, and Zhao Ning also took this opportunity to teleport away from him.
But the moment she turned back, Zhao Ning saw the giant's shattered palm rubble floating in the air, and then slowly gathered together to re-form the palm.
Zhao Ning's pupils shrank sharply, realizing that this guy was not something that could be resisted by force.
But for a while, he couldn't find a way to fight against this giant. Zhao Ning could only run forward as before, fighting while flying away with his sword.
I don’t know how long it took, Zhao Ning saw a stone mountain in the distance. She rushed towards it, but she suddenly stopped halfway. This was not a stone mountain, but another huge stone man. But this stone man was lying on its side on the gravel. Above, he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Zhao Ning glanced back at the approaching stone man and thought of a plan. She lowered her body and flew towards the other stone man with her sword. When it reached the head of the stone man, her giant palm followed closely. Come on, at this moment, the five ghost transporting method is used again.
The huge palm hit the sleeping stone man's head with gravity, and half of his head was missing in an instant. The stone man also woke up, and was not injured at all. Instead, he was angered.
