Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu's body was tough, and the Taichi diagram's defensive power was strong as well. That huge force did not cause him too much damage, only making his blood and Qi churn, and making it somewhat difficult for him to circulate his martial arts.
Xiao Lingyu also tried to counterattack after stabilizing his body. After throwing out the Primal Chaos Seal, he let the Heavenly Eye of Destruction between his eyebrows shoot out a destructive bloody light, and even let his Chaotic Star True Fire transform into a fire dragon that pounced out.
Even a late Astral Realm expert would not dare to take these three attacks head on. However, two of them were easily split apart by those two large blades. The destructive bloody light landed on one of the stone sculptures, but it only left a fist-sized dent. Not to mention being fatal, the stone sculptures only paused their advancing bodies for a moment, and then continued to wave the large blades in their hands as if they were not injured at all.
Xiao Lingyu was once again sent flying, but he still did not suffer too much damage.
His opponent's defensive power was strong, but his was not weak either. Fortunately, although the opponent's attacks seemed powerful, they were actually very simple. Even if they were not easy to block or dodge, they lacked variety. Xiao Lingyu was still able to block them with the Xuanyuan Sword.
However, just as Xiao Lingyu flew a hundred li with the two stone sculptures, the two stone sculptures immediately turned around, no longer chasing after Xiao Lingyu. Instead, they turned around and charged towards the stone temple. It was unknown whether it was because they could not go too far, or because the commotion caused by Ling'er in the stone temple had alerted them.
Xiao Lingyu also braced himself and chased after them. Before he reached the entrance of the stone temple, Ling'er had already appeared beside him.
"The situation inside is very simple, but I don't quite understand it. Going in and coming out is very simple. In a moment, I'll lure those two stone sculptures away, and you go in and take a look." Ling'er said.
"They can't hurt you. You should hold on for a while, but don't go more than a hundred li." Xiao Lingyu reminded.
Following the plan, Xiao Lingyu first hid far away, and let Ling'er go to the entrance of the stone temple to lure the two stone sculptures away.
After waiting for the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, when Ling'er sent a message, Xiao Lingyu quickly flew towards the stone temple.
Just as Ling'er had said, the door of the stone temple had already been blasted open, so it was easy to enter.
There was only one stone temple. Although it was not as tall and grand as the other temples, Xiao Lingyu was not tall either. In this stone temple, he still felt small.
The stone temple looked more like a very spacious and empty hall. In the deepest part of the hall facing the door, there were a few stone steps. At the top of the stone steps, there was a long slab of stone that looked like a tombstone. It was made of an unknown material and looked like a tombstone.
The stone slab looked like a tombstone, but it was only ten feet tall and one foot thick. There were no words written on it.
Apart from this stone slab, there was nothing else special about the stone temple.
Xiao Lingyu leaped towards the stone slab, but to his surprise, he was blocked by an invisible force when he was just a few steps away.
Even though he used all his strength, he was still unable to pass through the invisible force and reach the stone slab.
He frowned and muttered to himself for a moment. Then, he raised one foot and stepped onto the first step.
Although it was very difficult, he still stepped onto the first step. Then, he leaned forward with all his strength. When his center of gravity was on the leg he had taken, he raised his other leg with a loud shout.
Both of his feet were on the first step of the stone steps, and under the impact of the invisible force, he could only barely stand with his body bent forward.
He adjusted himself for a moment before raising his foot again.
He still used all his strength to step onto the second step. However, he could already feel that the second step was even more powerful. He definitely could not step onto the second step like he had done on the first step.
Xiao Lingyu took out the Xuan-Yuan Sword and fiercely stabbed it into the second step.
The tip of the Xuan-Yuan Sword sank into the second step.
Xiao Lingyu gripped the hilt of the Xuan-Yuan Sword tightly with both hands. Then, he exerted force with both hands and one leg and rushed towards the second step.
He reached the second step.
However, there were still two more steps. The second step was already so difficult to reach. How was he going to reach the next two steps?
Xiao Lingyu took out a pill. After consuming it, his strength was greatly increased.
With the power of the pill, he was able to reach the third step. However, the pill that increased his strength could not take him to the final step.
Xiao Lingyu stabbed the Xuan-Yuan Sword into the fourth step. Then, he bent down and hugged the body of the Xuan-Yuan Sword with both hands. He pulled with both hands and kicked with both feet.
In this very indecent and embarrassing posture, Xiao Lingyu took another pill that increased his physical strength. Only then was he able to climb to the fourth step and reach the foot of the stone slab.
At such a close distance, Xiao Lingyu could clearly feel that the energy contained in the stone slab was very powerful and special. Even he could not identify the attribute and quality of the energy. In any case, he felt that it was definitely of a higher level than his Chaotic Star Power.
If the energy contained in the stone slab was not of such a high level, Ling 'er would not have brought Xiao Lingyu here first.
After spending so much effort to get here, what could he do? What should he do next?
Xiao Lingyu looked up and stared at the stone slab for a long time. He was still at a loss.
He climbed a little further and leaned his head against the back wall of the stone temple. He looked behind the stone slab.
Needless to say, he really found something. There seemed to be a dozen words behind the stone slab.
After taking a closer look, he finally saw the words clearly.
With my name as Hao Tian, I will become the Lord of Hongmeng, immortal in the cycle of reincarnation!
He could not help but frown. He obviously did not understand the meaning of these words.
However, he was not an ignorant cultivator. After thinking calmly for a while, he suddenly said, "With my name as Hao Tian, it should be to let my name replace Hao Tian. Or perhaps my name is Hao Tian. Does this mean that Hao Tian does not exist? No, it could also be that Hao Tian originally existed, but died out. Now, anyone can become Hao Tian in their own name … "
"Becoming the Lord of Hongmeng should be after becoming Hao Tian. Is this stone slab a symbol of the Lord of Hongmeng? Or does it contain the power of Hongmeng?"
"Immortal in the cycle of reincarnation. Does it mean that the cycle of reincarnation itself will never be destroyed, or does it mean that cultivators will not die even after entering the cycle of reincarnation?"
"If Hao Tian exists and also becomes the Lord of Hongmeng, he will not be destroyed … But that doesn't seem right …"
"It's too mysterious. Damn it, can't it be easier to understand?"
Xiao Lingyu felt that he had only touched the edges of these words. As for what they meant, he could not understand it at all in a short time.
He did not intend to fully understand these words. After thinking quietly for a while, he climbed to the foot of the stone slab again.
Raising the Xuanyuan Sword, he wanted to carve his name on the stone slab to see what would happen. Unfortunately, even though he raised the Xuanyuan Sword with all his strength and stabbed at the stone slab, the Xuanyuan Sword was so sharp that it could not leave a trace on the stone slab.
Xiao Lingyu bit his finger again and let the essence blood that had fused with his soul gush out from the wound on his fingertip.
He used his essence blood to write his name on the corner of the stone slab. Although the stone slab did not refuse his essence blood, when he finished writing his name, the three words "Xiao Lingyu" written with his essence blood suddenly flashed and sank into the stone slab.
Then, the stone slab did not move at all.
"It seems that this won't work!"
Xiao Lingyu was a little depressed and a little confused.
After thinking for a long time, he tried many other methods, but they were all useless. He could only give up resisting and let the invisible force push him far away.
He could not waste too much time here. After all, Ling 'er was still outside dragging those two tyrannical stone sculptures. Although Ling' er was not afraid of the stone sculptures' attacks, if she was hit too many times, she would also be injured.
After being pushed away, he was able to stabilize his body.
Looking at the obviously extraordinary stone slab with reluctance, Xiao Lingyu left the stone temple and sent a message to Ling 'er.
After leaving the stone temple and meeting up with Ling 'er again, he said gloomily to Ling' er's question, "I have no choice. Let's go to other places first. Maybe the opportunity here does not belong to us."
However, just as Xiao Lingyu and Ling 'er flew out of the desert, three obviously very tall figures flew over from the direction of the immortal's mainland.
The three figures were still fighting with each other as they flew over. When they fought, they exploded with earth-shaking explosions and great momentum. Not only did they attract the attention of Xiao Lingyu and Ling 'er, but many cultivators who were looking for treasures in the Haotian ruins also looked up.
"It seems like Great Sage Sun is among them," Ling 'er said.
Indeed, among the three figures, there was a cultivator wearing golden armor and holding a big stick. Who else could it be other than Great Sage Sun?
"The other two should be Beastmaster and Evil Spirit Lord," Xiao Lingyu said with narrowed eyes.
Beastmaster's appearance was very similar to the three Heavenly Star Beasts that Xiao Lingyu had killed before. Coupled with the powerful strength he was displaying at the moment, it was not difficult for Xiao Lingyu to see his identity.
As for Evil Spirit Lord, he looked similar to a human cultivator, just a little bigger. However, his body was overflowing with a strong and powerful devil qi, which also exposed his identity.
"You stole the bone of Haotian and still want to open the Haotian ruins behind my back. You are really delusional!"
"However, I still have to thank you. The bone of Haotian has been in my Heavenly Star Forest for many years, but we could not find the Haotian ruins. I never thought that you would find it!"
These two sentences were said by Beastmaster. He did not sound angry, but rather expectant.
"Fortunately, I came out in time. Otherwise, you would have snatched all the opportunities here. If I come out again, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat you."
"Legend has it that the Haotian ruins have the key to becoming a Grandmist Venerable. None of you can snatch it from me!"
These two sentences were said by Evil Spirit Lord. He seemed to be very glad and happy.
"Humph! Some things can't be snatched by force. If it could be snatched, those experts on the ancient starry sky road would have snatched those things long ago. Would they still be left for you? "Great Sage Sun said.
At this time, the three top experts had stopped and were all scanning the Haotian ruins.
"This damn monkey is very noisy, causing trouble everywhere. Beast King, the three of us have been fighting for so many years without a clear winner. Are you interested in joining forces with me to kill this monkey first?"
As he spoke, the handsome face of the Evil Spirit demon lord revealed a somewhat devilish smile.
"Join forces with us? Don't you think too highly of this monkey? "Beastmaster said disdainfully.
