Tang Ao meditated at the bottom of the canyon for a while, and with the help of the Invisible Jade in Stone Body, the True Origin that he had used up was quickly recovered.
"Let's go out and meet them." Tang Ao jumped up and grabbed a small cave, then leaped up and grabbed a vine not far away. He climbed up a distance, and when he reached the top, he kicked the cliff with both legs, then leaped up again … After repeating this for more than ten times, he finally saw the top of the cliff.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Tang Ao emerged from the top of the cliff, an iron arrow whistled over, brushing past Tang Ao's scalp and landing on the cliff behind Tang Ao with a thud.
"Poof!"
The iron arrow on the cliff suddenly exploded, and a pale red smoke instantly filled the air. In a few breaths, the entire canyon was covered in pale red.
"Ahhhhhh!" The strange beasts' screams echoed at the bottom of the canyon. Some of the bigger ones dragged their half-rotten bodies out of the cave, but they accidentally lost their footing and fell to the bottom of the cliff.
"Master, be careful, this smoke is poisonous." Xiao Kong was so frightened that he squeezed into the depths of Tang Ao's chest, and only when he was close to Tang Ao's chest did he gradually calm down.
"Soul Devouring Powder! How despicable. " Although Tang Ao covered his mouth and nose in time, he still breathed in a little, and immediately felt weak and powerless.
"Hahaha! Tang Ao, how does this Soul Devouring Powder taste? Do you feel weak all over? Don't be nervous, the more exciting part is yet to come! "Duan Batian's plot succeeded, and he laughed proudly.
As expected, after a few breaths, Tang Ao suddenly felt pain and itch all over his body. When he scratched, it felt like he was scratching through his boots, as if the feeling came from the depths of his soul.
"So this is the Soul Devouring Powder, damn it!"
Immediately, Tang Ao landed in a slightly larger cave in the middle of the cliff, and with his back facing the strange beasts' skeletons that had long been corroded by the Soul Devouring Powder, he sat down cross-legged and circulated his True Origin to resist.
In his Dantian, a thick pink spirit energy was surrounding a drop of jade-colored liquid, stretching out thousands of tiny tentacles and slowly corroding the jade-colored liquid. In a few breaths, that drop of jade-colored liquid had shrunk a whole circle.
"Not good! My Neidan! "Tang Ao used his Divine Sense to probe the situation, and he was so shocked by this scene that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The Inner Core was the foundation of a martial artist's cultivation. The breathing of Spiritual Energy and the transformation of Spiritual Energy into True Energy all required the participation and help of the Inner Core.
After the pink Spiritual Qi invaded, not only was it not absorbed and assimilated by Tang Ao's Inner Core, but it turned the tables and began to absorb and assimilate the Inner Core. How could Tang Ao not be terrified? If he was completely absorbed and assimilated, then not only would Tang Ao lose his cultivation and become a cripple, but he would also lose his foundation. He would be instantly turned into pus by the Soul Devouring Powder.
Immediately, Tang Ao's Divine Sense moved, and the True Qi in his 365 major acupoints and tens of thousands of meridians was gathered by Tang Ao bit by bit. Hundreds of rivers converged, forming a flow of True Essence in his dantian that was even larger than the pink spiritual energy.
Charge!
The tip of Tang Ao's eyebrows twitched, and the flow of True Essence in his dantian began to surge. In the beginning, it was like a slow stroll, but within a few breaths, it picked up speed and was as fast as a galloping horse. Then, it became faster and faster, and the momentum became louder and louder. It was like ten thousand horses galloping, crushing the pink spiritual energy with an earth-shattering force.
Swoosh!
Tang Ao's dantian surged violently, and the flow of True Essence fiercely attacked the pink spiritual energy. It immediately broke into pieces and peeled off from the Inner Core.
Phew! Tang Ao heaved a sigh of relief. The spiritual energy was broken, and as long as the Inner Core was preserved, he could slowly force out the remaining poison and recuperate before going up to settle the score with Duan Batian and the rest.
As soon as he started to circulate his energy, he felt a sharp pain in his dantian. It was so painful that Tang Ao grimaced in pain. His back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.
"How … How could this be?!" After probing with his Divine Sense, Tang Ao was a little frightened.
The pink spiritual energy that was originally broken into pieces actually attached itself to the Inner Core again. Compared to before it was broken, its volume was a little bigger, and it completely enveloped the Inner Core.
Tang Ao was unwilling to give up. Once again, he circulated the True Qi in his body and rushed towards the pink spiritual energy with great momentum. Just like the previous time, the pink spiritual energy immediately collapsed upon contact. After a few breaths, it once again condensed on the Inner Core, and its volume was a little bigger.
After failing three times, Tang Ao once again pondered. "True Qi doesn't work. I can only try to change to Origin Qi."
Once again, Tang Ao mobilized the True Qi in his body. When it gathered in his dantian, the True Essence suddenly changed. The huge flow of True Essence gradually condensed and compressed, forming a flow of spiritual energy that was denser than the flow of True Essence but smaller in volume. Origin Qi flow!
"Hah!"
With a hint of anger, Tang Ao directed the flow of Origin Energy to surge towards the pink spiritual energy. With a "pop" sound, the pink spiritual energy was instantly crushed into mustard powder and was wrapped by the flow of Origin Energy into the Inner Core.
Tang Ao was already sweating profusely and panting heavily. "I didn't expect the conversion of True Qi into Origin Energy to be so mentally exhausting." He immediately meditated to recover.
Outside the canyon, Duan Batian and the other two who were squatting saw that there were no more movements in the canyon, so they crawled to the edge of the cliff. As soon as they stretched their heads out, they saw Tang Ao meditating below. Immediately, they laughed out loud. "How's the taste of the Soul Devouring Powder? Do you feel uncomfortable all over? "
"Hey! We're from the same sect, so there's no need for me to harm you. As long as you kneel and kowtow to me a few times and apologize, I'll give you the antidote. How about that? "
"Sure, Brother Tian. Pull me up first. I'll definitely kneel and kowtow to you properly!" Tang Ao had just recovered, so he suppressed his anger and pretended to be weak.
"Alright! Hahahaha, in front of me, Duan Batian, a dragon has to lie down and a tiger has to lie down. No matter how powerful you, Tang Ao, are, you'll still have to submit to me, "Duan Batian could not help but laugh maniacally as he thought of this.
With the help of Duan Batian's disciples, Tang Ao was pulled up. He slumped onto the ground weakly with his head drooping.
Duan Batian laughed out loud as he walked to Tang Ao. He lifted his leg and wanted to step on Tang Ao's face to take revenge for slapping him with a shoe.
Slap!
Before the two disciples could react, Duan Batian's figure flew out like he did on the Destiny Platform.
His huge body smashed a huge pit on the stone ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. His swollen face swelled up like a bun again.
"Y-You dare to hit me? What are the two of you standing there for? Go get him! "Duan Batian covered his face as he struggled to get up.
The two disciples stared at Tang Ao in disbelief as they stood rooted to the ground. They only regained their senses when Duan Batian shouted at them. The three of them surrounded Tang Ao and attacked him from all sides.
