In the Temple of Eternal Life, Jun Wu Xie lay on the ground, panting heavily.
His soul was too tired, and he wanted to rest, but he knew now was not the time to relax.
His soul was no longer in danger, but his body was still in danger. At this moment, his body was most likely invaded by the Dark Curse.
He pulled himself together and opened up a passage in the Temple of Eternal Life so that his soul and will could enter his physical body and control its power.
This method was different from his soul existing in his body. His main soul would not be attacked by the Dark Curse, and only a part of his soul consciousness would return to his body.
Although that part of his soul consciousness would be fiercely attacked, as long as his main soul was intact, it would not completely lose control.
"Fortunately, I have the Temple of Eternal Life. Otherwise, I would really be finished …"
Part of his soul consciousness returned to his body, and he saw that his body was filled with the power of the Dark Curse. Just as the World Tree had said, the Dark Matter was like a terrifying virus, and it had already spread to every corner of his body.
"Every inch of my flesh and blood has been tainted by the darkness. How am I supposed to expel it from my body?"
He could not help but feel a headache. The Dark Curse covered his entire body, and most of it was in his Heavenly Abode and his brain.
The Dark Curse in his Heavenly Abode was madly corroding the Star condensed from his Blood Qi, and it was attacking the Life Star.
However, it seemed to be obstructed in the process of attacking the Life Star.
The Life Star could not be seen, but it existed in the center of the sea of stars. Because of the enormous devouring power it produced, it formed a dazzling golden halo around the Life Star.
He discovered a strange phenomenon.
The Dark Curse power and the dark gray matter were corroding the sea of stars, and at the same time, they divided into thousands of strands and slowly moved toward the Life Star in the center.
Slow!
That was the strange part.
The dark gray matter was unrestrained as it corroded the sea of stars. It was like long strands of hair that pierced into the Blood Qi Star, causing black patterns to appear on the golden Star, and it even began to emit dark gray Qi.
However, it was very careful as it corroded his Fate Star. When the countless strands of dark matter reached the golden rings around his Fate Star, Jun Wu Xie felt his Fate Star tremble slightly.
In an instant, a devouring force that was much more powerful than usual was produced, causing the Dark Force that came into contact with the golden ring of light to distort and distort. The Dark Force began to rotate along with the golden ring of light and was pulled into the black void in the middle.
At this moment, he saw the dark matter's greyish black energy overflowing into the heavens, resisting the Fate Star's devouring power. It seemed like it wanted to be extracted, causing his body to shake violently. His Heavenly Passage rumbled, shaking his already broken body to the point that it almost disintegrated!
"What's going on? That dark matter seems to be afraid of my Fated Star. "
Seeing this, Jun Wu Xie's spirits were lifted.
"It seems that it won't be able to corrode my Fate Star in a short time. As long as my Fate Star isn't corroded, my body won't completely fall into darkness!"
Jun Wu Xie's heart calmed down. The most important thing now was not to expel the dark matter, but to repair the damage to his body.
Otherwise, if the dark matter and the Fate Star continued to resist each other, his body would be torn apart.
As for why the Fate Star would resist the Dark Curse on its own without his control, he didn't have the time to think about it.
Immediately, he mobilized the life force in his body and began to nourish and repair his damaged organs, bones, meridians, flesh, and so on.
At the same time, he controlled his body to take out the half-Saint blood and violently drank several mouthfuls. He also refined the Life Elixir and other resources.
These resources were all great medicines of life and their effects were extremely strong.
Exuberant and pure life force circulated in his body, flowing to his limbs and bones, nourishing his body and repairing his wounds.
During this process, the Fate Star and the Dark Curse continued to resist each other. From time to time, there would be aftershocks. If it weren't for his Heavenly Passage, his body wouldn't have been able to withstand them.
However, with his recovery, his physical body was no longer on the verge of being torn apart like before.
Although each time the aftershocks would cause damage to his body, the frequency of the aftershocks wasn't high, allowing his body to constantly recover.
…
"Tian Ming, what did you notice?"
Outside the strange cave, Gu Yin and Hun You had arrived here and noticed that there was a cave here. The glow of talisman markings at the entrance had pushed open an area of terror within the swamp, and they revealed shocked expressions. "There's actually a cave here?"
Tian Ming glanced at the cave before him, and his expression was slightly unnatural. If one looked carefully, one could faintly notice the cold sweat on his temples.
He turned around to gaze at Gu Yin and Hun You, and then he pointed at a rock platform that protruded out of the cave and said, "Look at that. What's that?"
"Golden blood!"
Gu Yin and Hun You's pupils suddenly constricted while killing intent instantly shot into the sky.
"That kid has been here. Looks like his injuries really are extremely heavy. Otherwise, with his body's recovery ability, he would have stopped the bleeding a long time ago. Why would he allow the blood to flow out!?"
Gu Yin walked forward and stared at the golden blood on the ground. He'd never imagined that the target would be in the rock cave ahead.
If it was really in the rock cave, then Tian Ming would have made a move a long time ago. How could he have restrained himself and asked them to come here?
"Heh! Fellow Daoist Gu Yin, you were sure that he was hiding beneath the swamp. Since it's true, then there's nothing to doubt now. Since he's here, then he can't escape even if he grows wings! "
Hun You's eyes flickered with a gloomy glow.
"I've found him!"
Tian Ming spoke abruptly.
"What? Where is he? "
The corners of Gu Yin and Hun You's eyes twitched, and they couldn't help but look towards the cave ahead.
"Yes, he's probably in there, but we don't know if he's dead or alive."
Tian Ming moved a few steps to the side, and Gu Yin and Hun You immediately saw the entrance to the cave. There was golden blood there as well, and there were deep and shallow footprints there as well.
"Is there anything special about this cave? You actually didn't enter it?"
They realized that Tian Ming seemed to be very afraid of the cave ahead.
There was golden blood on the ground at the entrance and over 10 meters inside the cave.
When they saw such a scene, they knew that Tian Ming's analysis wasn't wrong, and that kid was definitely in there.
Tian Ming said, "Come over to the entrance and have a look."
Gu Yin and Hun You moved towards the cave at practically the exact same time.
Their expressions instantly changed when they arrived at the entrance, and a strand of a strange and evil aura surged out from within like a torrent.
Moreover, a strange and sharp sound entered their ears. It was like the wailing of ghosts, and it assaulted their minds, minds, and souls, causing their hearts to tremble violently.
Meanwhile, they saw a corner of the cave clearly.
There was a hexagonal stone platform in the depths of the cave that faced the entrance. There were 6 stone pillars standing on it, and a corpse was chained to it while an ancient sword was stabbed into its chest.
The corpse lay sprawled in midair and was dragged by iron chains. Its hair was a few meters long and hung down to the ground, and the skin that was exposed to the outside of its clothes was actually covered in blood red hair. Moreover, the sharp and long nails on its hands flickered with a jet black glow.
"Crimson Fur Demon, the Curse of Doomsday!"
Gu Yin and Hun You cried out with shock as they staggered backwards, and they only stopped when they couldn't sense the strange and evil aura.
They gazed at the cave with horror, and it took them a long time to recover from their shock. They looked at Tian Ming and said, "Why is there such a thing here?"
"This is the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range. Even the most terrifying things are possible here. It's been like this since the ancient times. Both of you should know!"
Tian Ming's face was very gloomy. That kid actually went in. How could he dare to go in?
"Wait, that kid actually dared to go in?" Gu Yin said in a low voice, "Based on his path of growth, he's absolutely not someone who accepts his fate. If he knew that he would definitely die, why would he go in? "
"He doesn't have to die!" Tian Ming's face twisted slightly, and it carried a form of indescribable jealousy as he said, "We've been searching for him here for many days, yet he avoided us every single time. How do you think he did it?"
"You're saying that he was able to notice us before we noticed him?"
Gu Yin and Hun You's hearts jerked violently.
They'd always suspected it, but they weren't willing to admit it. Because it was too impossible, and it was simply like a fantasy story.
"Otherwise?" Tian Ming gnashed his teeth and said, "We're unwilling to admit it, but we have to admit that the kid's soul cultivation is higher than ours. He's probably already at the Greater Celestial Realm!"
"Greater Celestial Realm …." Gu Yin pondered for a moment, and then he suddenly looked towards the cave and said, "In other words, his soul might be able to resist the corrosion of the curse?"
"Exactly. I presume he's confident since he dared to enter! He's hiding in the cave right now, but we can't do anything to him! As time passes, once he recovers and finds another way out of the cave, he might be able to escape from us again! He's too monstrous. Many things that seem impossible to us have become possible because of him! "
"There's a golden gong guarding outside. Even if he finds a way out, it's probably not that easy for him to escape, right?"
Hun You said.
Tian Ming shook his head, "He was exhausted from the Heavenly Tribulation at that time, yet he was still able to escape from me. Can you guarantee that the golden gong won't fail? Most importantly, that kid's pet, that strange blue colored divine beast! "
"You're saying that's a divine beast? Impossible! How could it be a divine beast? "
Gu Yin's face was filled with disbelief. Apart from a year ago when a flood dragon successfully transformed in the Dragon's Ridge Mountain Range, there had never been any traces of a divine beast in this world.
At that time, they were all in a deep sleep, so they didn't know about it. They missed the opportunity to capture the fire dragon for nothing. Now that they thought about it, they were extremely vexed.
Later on, they searched the border of the Dragon's Ridge Mountain Range for a very long time, but they couldn't find any traces of the fire dragon. In the end, they could only give up.
What was a divine beast? Legend had it that it was an existence whose bloodline could reach the Mythological Realm after reaching adulthood. It was extremely powerful!
In fact, it wasn't that he didn't believe it. He had long suspected it in his heart, but he intentionally didn't mention it.
"Why is it impossible? If it's a Saint Beast or a Heavenly Saint Beast, it's impossible for it to possess such a heaven-defying secret technique! That beast was only in its infancy, and its cultivation was only at the half-step Saint Ancestor level. But I couldn't avoid its secret technique, and I instantly lost all my senses! Have you seen such a heaven-defying technique? "
Tian Ming glanced at Gu Yin meaningfully. How could he not know what Gu Yin was thinking about?
At that time, because he had lost Jun Wu Xie, he was thinking about how to explain it to others so that he wouldn't be too embarrassed. So, he blurted out the secret technique of the strange beast beside Jun Wu Xie.
But he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. He knew that Gu Yin and Jin Gong might have some ideas in their hearts.
Now, Gu Yin was the same. He had clearly guessed that it might be a divine beast, but he pretended not to believe it.
"I can't miss the opportunity to kill him!" Gu Yin's heart jolted. His eyes burned with madness and ruthlessness as he charged directly into the cave. "Watch me capture and kill him!"
"Gu Yin, don't even think about entering!"
Tian Ming and Hun You's expressions changed abruptly. They charged forward at almost the same time and pulled him back.
"Are you afraid of death?"
Gu Yin sneered and mocked them on purpose.
"Fellow Daoist Gu Yin, watch your words! If we were afraid of death, we wouldn't have risked being punished by the War Saint to kill that Jun brat! "Tian Ming pointed at the cave and said," Which era was the red-haired demon killed in there? Even now, the aura of the Doomsday Curse is still so terrifying. Do you think you can resist the corrosion? "
Hun You said, "If you can't resist the corrosion of the Doomsday Curse, you will become a mindless red-haired demon. At that time, you will kill everyone you see and will definitely attack us. If that's the case, won't you be creating an opportunity for that Jun brat to escape? "
"Hmph!"
Gu Yin refused to accept it verbally but he knew in his heart that the outcome was very likely to be so. He didn't really want to charge in.
Tian Ming said, "We know what you're thinking. Who doesn't want a divine beast? But if you charge in like this, it's equivalent to helping that Jun brat. Now, we just need to get out of the swamp, return to the surface, and completely seal off this area! "
Gu Yin said, "What if there's an exit in the cave that leads to somewhere else? What if he escapes?"
"Even if there's an exit, it's most likely to lead to another area of the swamp."
Gu Yin thought for a moment and said, "The domain here is too strong and the perception is limited. If that brat escapes through the furthest gap between our defenses, there's still a chance of success! I think we should inform the greater celestial experts above and ask them to come here. If that's the case, that Jun brat won't be able to escape death even if he grows wings! "
Tian Ming pondered for a moment and said, "The problem is, if the greater celestial experts make a move, will the War Saint be drawn out? If that's the case, the consequences will be unthinkable."
Gu Yin said in a deep voice, "There's no need for the greater celestial experts to kill that brat. But they can use some tricks to stop that brat. If that brat escapes in front of us, even half a second of delay is enough to kill him. "
Tian Ming looked at Hun You. The two of them looked at each other in silence and fell into deep thought.
Gu Yin's suggestion was treading on the edge. It was very dangerous.
They came from the Sky Pure Sect and the Soul Hunting Hall. They had suffered too many losses at the hands of the War Saint. This was something that Gu Yin of the Ancient Phoenix Sect could not understand. Because the Ancient Phoenix Sect had never suffered at the hands of the War Saint, they would not understand that kind of pain!
But if they only let the greater celestial half-Sages of the Ancient Phoenix Sect come and kill Jun Wu Xie, wouldn't the Mythological Beast fall into the hands of the Ancient Phoenix Sect?
"Tian Ming, we only need one greater celestial expert from our two factions. After that, if the War Saint wants to settle the score, he won't have to do it with all of us. Your Sky Pure Sect and the Soul Hunting Hall come from the same source. One is in the light while the other is in the dark. We are one. "
You Hun transmitted his voice to Tian Ming and said.
"Then let the greater celestial of our Sky Pure Sect come. You've already lost a large number of half-Sages to the War Saint. You can't afford to lose any more."
Tian Ming replied secretly. Then, he nodded at Gu Yin and said, "Since Daoist Gu Yin has such a suggestion, I'll send a message to the greater celestial half-Sages of our sect and ask them to come here."
Gu Yin's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
He originally thought that the Sky Pure Sect and the Soul Hunting Hall would not agree to this since they had suffered a lot at the hands of the War Saint.
In that case, the Ancient Phoenix Sect would be able to obtain the Mythological Beast after killing Jun Wu Xie.
But he didn't expect that Tian Ming would agree to his idea and ask the sect's greater celestial to come here.
"Daoists, the greater celestial half-Sages of the Soul Hunting Hall are all sealed and in deep slumber. They can't come here. It's enough to have the greater celestial experts of your two sects. "
Hun You said.
"Oh, fine. I know that the Soul Hunting Hall is afraid of the War Saint. Since that's the case, I won't force you."
Gu Yin's tone was sarcastic. He pretended to be displeased, but he was relieved in his heart.
When the time came, only the Ancient Phoenix Sect and the Sky Pure Sect would fight for the ownership of the Mythological Beast. Without the Soul Hunting Hall, their chances would be much higher.
"Let's go to the surface. The aura here is unsettling."
Tian Ming said. Gu Yin and Hun You nodded in agreement.
They were also frightened. When they saw the red-haired demon and thought of the curse of the apocalypse, they felt a chill down their spines.
The red-haired demon was no stranger to their sects that had been passed down for many epochs!
It was something that would only appear at the end of every epoch.
The red-haired demon could be a human or any other living creature. In short, they were all infected by the power of the apocalypse curse that appeared at the end of an epoch, causing them to mutate.
The end of an epoch! There were too many records in their sect's ancient books. It was unimaginably terrifying!
