Mortal Shedding Dao Domain

"Changtian!!"

Faced with the sudden turn of events, Li Qingyan disregarded his damaged meridians and immediately pushed his Cultivation Method to its limit, unleashing a strike at the appearing black shadow.

The firelight streaked through the crimson mist, creating a shockwave that churned the area. The hideous and enormous shadow was cleaved in two, but Li Qingyan clearly felt that he hadn't struck any solid object.

The phantom disappeared.

Luo Xiran's voice echoed around like a solitary orchid in a secluded valley, carrying a hint of disdain:

"Human, no matter how much you know, it doesn't change the fact that you are merely a Soul Condensation Realm cultivator. Even a scratch is enough for me to infuse my essence into your body."

Li Qingyan glanced at him, who was kneeling on the ground spitting out blood, and bit her lip.

Bai Muxi knelt down beside Xu Yuan, placing her delicate hand on his back, and urgently called out:

"Young Master?! Young Master?! Is this the Strange Ghost form?"

Her voice trembled slightly as she finished speaking.

Now that the truth of the entire Underground Palace is clear, she can't imagine how the people of the Underground City would survive if the young master from the upper realm were to become Strange Ghost being in this Underground Palace.

Upon hearing the confirmation, Li Qingyan held the Blood God Stone Pendant in his hand, tightening his fingers until a soft "click" sound rang out.

"Luo Xiran, stop right there!"

"Ha! Stop? The ritual of transformation is irreversible."

A soft laugh echoed, Luo Xiran's laughter carrying a hint of madness:

"Don't get excited. This is a leap in the origin of life. When he becomes one of us, he will naturally understand us and know everything we want to do."

"Click-clack."

Li Qingyan glanced down at the four boxes of Source Crystal bombs at her feet, her voice slightly cold:

"So you really think I wouldn't dare to perish with a lowly wretch like you?"

Luo Xiran's voice was vast and ethereal, filled with excitement. "Your Holy Son has already said that my true form is not here. If you wish to perish together with me, you may try."

Without the slightest hesitation in Li Qingyan's crimson eyes, fine cracks appeared on the Blood God Stone Pendant:

"Then let's give it a try."

"."

"."

While Li Qingyan and Luo Xiran were talking, Xu Yuan fell into a state of semi-consciousness, and he could feel that he was in a very bad state.

Everything around him seemed to drift away.

Sound, touch, the excruciating pain inside the body, and even the warmth of the blood overflowing from the mouth were no longer clear.

The conversation between Li Qingyan and Luo Xiran drifted in faintly.

Blood God Stone Pendant

Source Crystal Bomb

Jade and stone burned together

Luo Xiran's wild and manic laughter

And the Blood God Stone Pendant that was about to be crushed by Li Qingyan.

"Qingyan."

With a forced smile, Xu Yuan struggled to his feet, looking at the slender woman in red before him. "Don't move."

"Changtian?"

Li Qingyan's concerned voice seemed to come from a great distance. "How are you feeling?"

Xu Yuan grinned, the blood spilling from his lips making his smile somewhat eerie, his voice barely audible:

"Didn't I tell you before? Don't worry, trust me."

After saying that,

Li Qingyan seemed to have thought of something and quickly said:

"You want it."

Her voice was only halfway through when Xu Yuan coughed up another mouthful of bright red blood. The buzzing in his ears grew louder again, and all he could see was her rosy lips opening and closing anxiously.

She seemed to be saying something important, but Xu Yuan could no longer hear her.

Watching her constantly opening and closing red lips, Xu Yuan felt a wave of dizziness.

So tired, so exhausted, I just want to clear my mind.

Everything around them began to blur at this moment; Li Qingyan's shouts and Bai Muxi's shaking no longer affected her.

But at this time,

Everything around him gradually became clearer; the blood mist Abyssal Rift was originally so thick and impenetrable gradually became clear under his perception.

His bloodshot eyes, glazed over, scanned the surroundings blankly.

Xu Yuan discovered that he could see Luo Xiran's fleshy tentacles clinging to the cave walls, as well as the Strange Ghost constantly roaming within the cave, directly through the blood mist and darkness.

And in a daze,

Xu Yuan saw a woman deep within the blood mist.

With full red lips, affectionate eyes, and a gentle, tender demeanor, she slowly extended her hand towards him in a bright red cheongsam that accentuated her near-perfect physique.

The next moment,

Seemingly summoned by his bloodline, Xu Yuan stood up slowly with a blank look in his eyes and walked into the viscous blood mist.

"Changtian?"

Li Qingyan noticed Xu Yuan stand up and subconsciously glanced back at him.

The moment she saw Xu Yuan's face, her pupils contracted sharply.

A complex pattern of marks spread from the abrasions on his cheek, now covering half of his handsome face, and slowly spreading outwards.

The white of his left eye had been swallowed by darkness, leaving his blood-red pupils both alluring and ghostly.

His aura changed.

She was very familiar with this aura; she had sensed it on those Strange Ghost more than once.

"."

Li Qingyan watched his movements, her breathing slightly rapid, a thousand thoughts flashing in her phoenix eyes.

Bai Muxi, standing to the side, instinctively reached out to grab Xu Yuan, trying to stop him from walking deeper into the blood mist.

"Smack."

A crisp sound.

Li Qingyan reached out and grabbed Bai Muxi's wrist first, stopping her with a look:

"Don't move."

"But..." Bai Muxi's eyes were filled with confusion.

Li Qingyan tightened his grip, and red marks immediately appeared on Bai Muxi's fair wrist. Gritting her teeth, she spoke slowly and deliberately:

"I told you not to move."

The next moment, her explaining voice rang in Bai Muxi's ears:

"Now... now we can only trust him."

The words were spoken, then silence.

As the two women remained silent, Xu Yuan's figure gradually disappeared into the blood mist.

Xu Yuan's steps were light, but the deeper he went into the Abyssal Rift, the clear and transparent feeling in his mind became more and more distinct.

It was as if they had gained a god's-eye view, with everything in the Blood Abyssal Rift clear and transparent.

He discovered that he could even sense the soft, wriggling Black Death Fungal Mat several miles away.

As they went deeper, his aura gradually began to rise.

final,

He stopped in front of the voluptuous, slender woman in the bright red cheongsam.

Amidst the surging blood mist all around,

The gentle, graceful woman stood quietly before him, her arms outstretched, as if waiting for him to fall into her embrace.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan did not act immediately. His dazed eyes lowered slightly as he looked at his palms, which were covered with strange markings.

Is this what they mean by becoming Strange Ghost?

But why did he feel that this sensation wasn't as bad as he had imagined, and even felt somewhat comfortable?

Just as I was thinking,

The woman's warm hand gently caressed his cheek; it was so warm that he didn't want to think about anything.

But beyond Xu Yuan's perception, the moment the woman's palm touched his cheek, a strange fluctuation spread out.

Luo Xiran, as the source of the Strange Ghost, began to infuse into Xu Yuan's body.

The black markings on Xu Yuan's cheeks began to boil, turning from the deepest red to a magma-like crimson, and rapidly spreading outwards from his body.

It felt like a fleeting moment, yet also like eternity.

Everything returned to calm.

Xu Yuan's narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes had lost all their whites, leaving only jet-black pupils that shimmered with a scarlet light.

"How?"

A soft yet alluring voice rang in Xu Yuan's ear, carrying a seductive quality:

"Eternal life and immense power—aren't these precisely what you human cultivators have always sought?"

"Very strong, very good."

Xu Yuan snapped out of his daze, looked at the woman before him, grinned, and smiled broadly. He gently raised his hand and placed it on her outstretched hand.

"I never imagined that power could be acquired so easily. Is this the Mortal Shedding?"

After saying that, Xu Yuan gently closed his eyes, his hand resting against her warm touch.

Everything was peaceful and beautiful; a hint of gentleness and allure flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes.

"As long as Changtian walks this path with me, this is only the beginning."

Before the words were finished,

Unexpected changes occurred suddenly.

Xu Yuan suddenly tightened his grip on the woman's wrist.

"Pfft!"

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere; the woman in the cheongsam's outstretched hand was crushed into minced meat by his powerful grip.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Xu Yuan licked the blood splattered on his lips and opened his eyes again.

A pair of eyes, gleaming with a scarlet light, possessed an exceptionally alluring quality.

Everything before Xu Yuan's eyes had undergone a complete transformation at this moment; the fair, jade-like hand that had been caressing his cheek had now turned into a crushed piece of flesh.

The beautiful woman in the cheongsam was gone, replaced by a gigantic, tumor-like monster.

The enormous body was covered with bulges that looked like they were filled with thick phlegm, and countless fleshy tendrils grew all over it, but in the very center of this bizarre monster was the head of a beautiful woman.

At this moment,

She was looking at Xu Yuan with a hint of astonishment, seemingly puzzled by Xu Yuan behavior.

Xu Yuan's scarlet pupils, devoid of whites, were also looking at her, with a hint of interest:

"Luo Xiran, I don't want to walk this path with a monster like you anymore. You're too ugly."

Luo Xiran silent for a moment, not angry, silently retracting the crushed flesh and whiskers. After sensing the enormous life force of the Strange Ghost being within him, she asked in return:

"You absorbed Ji Tian's Demon Crystal?"

"Ji Tian?"

It seems that all the Wang clan members of the Snake Demon Clan have the surname Ji, suggesting that the mindless Ink Snake was a demon of status ten thousand years ago.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan nodded with a light smile:

"Naturally, without its Demon Crystal, I couldn't maintain my own consciousness."

While speaking,

Xu Yuan reached out and pulled open the front of his Blood Jade Glazed Robe, revealing the Black Death Fungal Armor beneath.

However, a piece of the Black Death Fungal Armor on his chest was missing, replaced by a dark crystal embedded in the flesh around his heart.

Under Luo Xiran's gaze,

The dark crystal sank directly into Xu Yuan's chest and disappeared.

Almost simultaneously, the violent life force belonging to the Mortal Shedding Strange Ghost began to rampage through Xu Yuan's body, completely destroying his meridians. But the next moment, the life force belonging to the Strange Ghost instantly repaired all the damage.

Between destruction and repair, Xu Yuan's aura began to rise steadily.

Soul Condensation

Grandmaster.

Origin Beginning

In the midst of this silence, Xu Yuan looked at Luo Xiran and asked with slight interest:

"You're just going to watch me get stronger and stronger without doing anything about it?"

"Changtian, you... are you in a lot of pain?"

"What?"

Xu Yuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the gentle voice of the monster in front of him.

Luo Xiran looked at him, her voice gentle:

"Your cultivation is too weak. Absorbing the Demon Crystal condensed by high-level Strange Ghost will tear your body apart and then regenerate it. Do you need me to help you alleviate the pain?"

Xu Yuan stared at Luo Xiran's concerned face with a strange expression:

"No, don't you understand the situation? If it were me..."

"Of course I know that the Demon Crystal can temporarily maintain your consciousness as a human, and it can also allow you to inherit most of Ji Tian's life force."

The monster beauty's red lips curved slightly, her eyes softening. "However, we are now the only two Strange Ghost still possess sentience. Even if you don't devour the Demon Crystal yourself, I intend to feed it to you personally."

Are you out of your mind?

Xu Yuan instinctively took a step back, his scarlet pupils filled with confusion. "We're enemies now."

Luo Xiran chuckled softly and said in a leisurely tone:

"The transformation is irreversible; you will become my companion sooner or later."

At this point, Luo Xiran's massive body trembled with excitement, its grotesque tendrils flailing wildly in the air. Staring at Xu Yuan with a hint of excitement, its immense pressure caused the entire cave to rumble. One of its tendrils slowly extended towards Xu Yuan:

"Come, I will give you the Demon Crystal of the remaining Strange Ghost in this Underground Palace, and I will help you become an existence equal to mine."

"."

Xu Yuan stared at the fleshy tendrils that stretched out in front of him for several breaths, then suddenly sighed:

"Luo Xiran, you're so pitiful."

"Whoosh!!"

A hideous, fleshy beard shot out from her massive body, hurtling towards Xu Yuan's head.

Xu Yuan tilted his head slightly with an indifferent gaze, and his stubble brushed past his ear, creating a gust of wind that merely lifted his long hair.

Luo Xiran's beautiful eyes stared at him, a smile playing on her lips:

"Changtian, you don't need to dodge. An attack of this magnitude wouldn't be able to harm you in your current state."

"I'm human, and it's still unsettling to have my brain smashed."

Xu Yuan glanced at the fleshy beard on the side of his face, exhaled, and looked at Luo Xiran with a wistful smile on his lips:

"But judging from your behavior just now, it seems that Strange Ghost also need communication and companions. Ten thousand years of time seem to have made you yearn for a fellow human."

Luo Xiran's eyes drooped slightly, looking somewhat forlorn.

"Yes, it is necessary, therefore Changtian."

Xu Yuan suddenly laughed, staring at her hideous, tumor-like body:

"I've already said it, you're too ugly, you don't fit my aesthetic standards. I can't bear to part with my princess and Little White."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiran's beautiful face, which was hidden within the tumor, also smiled:

"Then I shall kill them both first?"

You can't kill them.

The Clear Speech Sword suddenly appeared in Xu Yuan's hand, held horizontally with a chilling glint in its blade. "Your true form is not here; you are no match for me."

Luo Xiran chuckled softly, her cool, clear voice turning deep and manic:

"Xu Changtian, you are merely a Soul Condensation cultivator. Do you really think that possessing the body of Mortal Shedding Strange Ghost will allow you to contend with me?"

Xu Yuan picked at his ear, a smile in his eyes:

"Don't jump to conclusions. I had some fortuitous opportunity in the past, so my Soul Condensation might be a little different from ordinary Soul Condensation."

"What?"

"."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath, the sound of him channeling his Source Qi echoing throughout the cave, and said coldly:

"Li Qingyan, take Bai Muxi and retreat!"

The Blood Origin Heart-Fall Technique began to operate.

at the same time,

A strange fluctuation spread outwards from Xu Yuan.

Countless cherry blossoms began to fall in the Abyssal Rift, and celestial music rose in waves.

Due to the resonance characteristic of the Strange Ghost Dao Domain, a vast sea of cherry blossoms unfolded around Xu Yuan.

"Dao Domain?!"

Luo Xiran, watching the cherry blossoms suddenly fall before her, seemed to realize Xu Yuan's strangeness. "Why do you possess Dao Domain?!"

The man before them was using the characteristics of the Strange Ghost and the resonance between the Abyssal Rift and the Strange Ghost to unleash his Dao Domain.

After she finished speaking, Luo Xiran left no room for negotiation.

The flesh covering the cave walls surged and churned instantly, and countless fleshy tentacles shot towards Xu Yuan, Li Qingyan, and the others like iron spears!

Xu Yuan's bewitching crimson eyes, now devoid of white, were filled with a savage killing intent, and the Clear Speech Sword in his hand began to hum.

The sword shadows, like splashes of ink, appeared in the air, and the Sword Qi spread throughout the vast cavern!
