Shi Chishang had no idea that his identity had been exposed, and that Crocodile Lord and Wang Xiaojie were also forming a team to deal with him.
After killing Xiao Xieji and Mei Xuan'er, he wandered all the way. It only took him half a day to return to the entrance of the passage, and then returned to Xushi smoothly.
After learning from the Chamber of Commerce that Crocodile Lord and the others had not come back yet, Shichishang didn't pay much attention. After all, these people were all extremely powerful and had the high-level officials of Xushi as their backers. There would definitely be no problem. They were probably found. What treasure, so I was delayed on the way.
I asked the Chamber of Commerce to leave a message to Young Master Yin Scorpion, and then Shi Chishang left the Chamber of Commerce, found the largest inn in the virtual market, booked a luxurious suite with a soul-gathering effect, and then concentrated on practicing.
The first thing Shi Chishang had to do was to recuperate the injuries caused by splitting the true spirit while refining the clone.
Fortunately, this is a virtual market. The most indispensable thing is all kinds of commodities, and Shi Chishang, who has the most money in his pocket, just spent a lot of money to buy the specially made Ten Thousand Years Cloud Soul Ointment from the Immortal Realm, which only lasted half a month. In time, all the injuries to the soul will be healed.
Then came a long retreat to practice and understand the earth element.
During the melee at the end of Tomb Island, Shi Chishang had deliberately reflected Crocodile Lord's Xumi Avenue. Although the time was short, he only engraved some Taoist rhymes, but with his current state, coupled with the secret technique of mirror reflection, he could It's enough to peel off the cocoons and completely analyze this top earth-based avenue.
*——*——*
Outside the Void Market, in a secret room somewhere in the Light and Dark Mountain, there were more than a dozen human men and women sitting, some of whom were from the Spirit Race or the Ghost Race. However, without exception, their underworld power had reached the level of the Underworld Emperor, and several of them were even more powerful. It is the peak of the Emperor of the Underworld. The power of the underworld penetrates deeply into the bone marrow of the soul, making people shudder.
"Crocodile Lord, you called us here, what's the matter?"
On the left side of the secret room, Xue Jue, who was dressed in dark and heavy armor, was sitting with a golden sword. Behind him were five young men and women. Three of them had red hair and similar looks. They were twin brothers at first glance, and the other two were A man and a woman, their bearings are also extraordinary.
Crocodile Lord glanced at him after hearing this, then turned his gaze to the three men and women on the right, and said slowly: "I invite you all to come here today for a great opportunity."
"What a great opportunity?"
"It seems that this opportunity is so hot that even Mr. Crocodile cannot take it alone." Among the three people on the right, a young man wearing a red robe said with a smile.
Xue Jue twitched his lips: "Tell me, what kind of opportunity is it?"
Looking around at the crowd, Wang Xiaojie smiled leisurely and said: "The Avenue of Time and Space."
"The Avenue of Time and Space? What a huge opportunity is that..." Xue Jue smiled disdainfully, but heard Wang Xiaojie continue: "The Avenue of Life and Death."
As soon as these words came out, the secret room suddenly fell silent. Xue Jue and others looked at Wang Xiaojie with disbelief on their faces. Until Crocodile Lord next to them nodded in affirmation, strong greed suddenly appeared in their eyes.
After seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Wang Xiaojie smiled with satisfaction and slowly said again: "There is also a way to control the projection of the Styx."
"Gan!" Xue Jue slapped the table and stood up. He was covered in heavy armor and could not suppress the surging murderous intent on his body. "We join, what should we do?"
"The Avenue of Time and Space, the Avenue of Life and Death, and the Projection of the River Styx," a man in black robes on the right coughed twice and said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, what Crocodile Lord is talking about is the one that once appeared in the Jiuyou River Basin. Shichishang?"
"It is this person," Lord Crocodile nodded and said, "Some time ago, we happened to find traces of him. However, this person's strength is too extraordinary. In addition to the road of life and death, he also masters time and space and the ability to summon the projection of the Styx. It will be difficult for my two senior brothers to capture him."
"I understand, no wonder he came to us," Xue Jue nodded, glanced at Wang Xiaojie, and said solemnly, "Use brother Wang's time and space avenue, plus my suppression avenue, to block his retreat... But this man's How should we deal with the road of life and death?”
"Then we need two friends, Chu Chi and Yu Cheng," Mr. Crocodile looked at the red-robed Taoist priest and the black-robed man on his right who had just spoken, "Friend Chu Chi's Karma Puppet Technique, and Brother Yu's Chaos Weakening Power, come on. Contain and weaken the opponent, and in the end it will be up to me, Brother Yu and others to confront them head-on."
Everyone in the secret room was on the invitation list determined by Wang Xiaojie and Crocodile Lord after careful discussion.
The people on the left, Xue Jue, Fang Yuliang, and Zou Qianli, are all descendants of high-ranking officials in Tuomeng Daoding Beifu and have extraordinary backgrounds.
Xue Jue's family's Heaven-Suppressing Mysterious Technique has the effect of suppressing heaven and earth. Cooperating with Wang Xiaojie, it can effectively dismantle Shi Chi Shang's space-time avenue, and relying on the curved shield called the toe shield, there is a greater hope of forcibly disconnecting the opponent and The induction between the Styx prevents the other party from summoning the Styx projection.
Although Fang Yuliang and Zou Qianli are weaker, they have a lot of cards rewarded by their family, and they might even be able to help Chi Shang in the critical moment.
The pair of triplets are Xue Jue's followers, named Huorong, Huo Si, and Huo Zhi. Three brothers and one mother all have the method of burning, and with the talents of the triplets, they can perfectly integrate the avenues they have cultivated, and have combat power comparable to that of the young supreme.
The three people on the right are all famous local casual cultivators on Tuomeng Road.
Yu Cheng has mastered the three avenues of pollution, weakening, and chaos, and is a powerful character who is half-stepped into the rank of Mingzun. He is the only person in the room who can compete with Crocodile Lord.
Although Yu Baixing has only practiced the Platinum and Killing Ways, he has a broken blade reforged from the fragments of a seventh-grade underworld weapon, and its lethality is extremely shocking.
Chu Chi is a disciple of a giant casual cultivator. The path he cultivates is based on the traction and connection of cause and effect. He can control other people's bodies and souls from a distance, and kill people invisible.
This group of people are all top experts, plus Crocodile Lord and Wang Xiaojie, even if they are in the early stage of Mingzun, they have a high probability of killing him if they are calculating mentally or not.
Wang Xiaojie looked at everyone with a gentle smile: "No action is allowed in the Void Market. Please stay here patiently. When Chi Shang is about to leave, we will notify you, but please swear by your heart and soul that you will not be allowed to do so." Pass this on in any way you can.”
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing the words. After all, the Avenue of Time and Space is not bad, but the Avenue of Life and Death and Summoning the Projection of the River Styx are top opportunities in the ghost world that are enough to trigger a fight for the Emperor of Hades. Once the news gets out, then they are afraid that I couldn't even drink the soup.
*——*——*
"Sumi Avenue!"
At the center of the Yin Gathering Array, as the Yin energy gathered surgingly, Shi Chishang, who was in the center of the array, let out a soft drink. His soul power and soul consciousness were intertwined and stirred. The crazy whale swallowed the Yin energy gathered by the array. Promoting the secret technique of mirror reflection, he integrated all the mysteries of Tao Yun that he had analyzed in the past two months, and finally evolved into a Tao formation that exuded endless boundless Dao Yun, spreading and growing on the Life Pill.
Compared to the many avenues that Chi Shang has mastered in the past, the Xumi Avenue is more similar to an infection of artistic conception. Wherever the thoughts are, there is the power, and both the strength and the thoughts can be expanded infinitely, just like swallowing the sky. Like the earth, infinite and boundless.
"Well, sure enough, the enhancement of any avenue will in turn squeeze the only avenue."
Silently sensing the changes in his body, Shi Chi Shang frowned slightly. Although he successfully understood the Xumi Avenue, he clearly felt that the only avenue was suppressed to a certain extent because of it. Now his combat power is not even what it was before retreating. high.
With a flip of his hand, he took out the Jihao soil he bought at Huoji Villa. Shi Chishang stared at the earth spiritual object and took a slow, deep breath. After he had completely adjusted his condition, he directly activated the formation for refining the clone. Then he placed Ji Hao Soil at the core of the formation and began to concentrate on refining the clone.
As the formation gradually expanded, an endless stream of earth energy gathered from all directions. Under normal circumstances, this suite was not considered a top-level earth environment. However, he was now staying in the Yin Gathering Formation. With this formation With the blessing of magic, the array's efficiency in absorbing earth energy has been greatly improved.
Boom! The majestic earth energy turned into billowing dust and smoke and swarmed in. Fortunately, the virtual market was established by the top giant, the master of the virtual market, and the spatial structure was stable. Otherwise, the earth energy would be extracted so violently and replaced by other realms. , I am afraid that the earth has already collapsed and sunk.
Even so, with the continuous surge of earth energy, cracks still appeared on the floor of the box where Shi Chishang was, and even the inn began to shake slightly. The array set up in the inn The Dharma instinct turned on and turned into strong energy to suppress all directions, thus avoiding being forcibly overwhelmed by the endless energy of the earth.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the core of the formation, Shi Chishang changed his hands and fingers. He condensed the seals one after another and threw them into the formation. Seeing that the vast soil continued to expand under the surging energy of the earth, and finally twisted into a human form, he made a prompt decision. He violently tore off part of the true spirit, and threw all his energy into the earth system clone while still holding the Sumeru Dao, which had just condensed in the life elixir and was still warm.
boom! When the incomplete true spirit and Xumi Dao merged into the clone, a thunder suddenly exploded in Shi Chi Shang's ears, shaking his mind and almost losing control of the formation.
This is the eighth clone refined by Shi Chishang. As the number of clones increased, the intensity and duration of the catastrophe encountered after each refinement increased simultaneously. However, this time, he has not yet finished refining the clone. He had actually triggered the heavenly tribulation, and the power of the unknown tribulation came to the world in an instant and turned into an unknown invisible chain, completely locking his aura.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Chi Shang's heart felt calm. Regardless of the increasingly intense sense of crisis, he still concentrated his mind and guided the operation of the formation. With the continuous washing of the energy of the earth, his true spirit and Sumeru Avenue gradually merged into the clone.
boom! There was another thunder, and the vast power of thunder had enveloped the entire Void City at some point. Countless practitioners from all walks of life raised their heads and looked in shock at the thunderclouds that gradually spread deep in the sky.
*——*——*
At the door of the bookstore, You Wuming, who still looked old and frail, slowly raised his head and frowned: "You bastard, don't you know where to go to get through the tribulation?"
Before he finished speaking, You Wuming had already raised his hand and waved. In an instant, the world was turned upside down, yin and yang changed, and Shi Chishang and the two formations under him were all moved to another dimension by him.
It's just that this person is indeed a giant who is proficient in the avenue of time and space. Even though he was moved to another dimension, the two formations under Shi Chishang are still running, as if there is no impact at all, and he can still absorb the energy of the surrounding earth freely and smoothly.
