The Xuan Grass Puppet drove the ancient corpses, their auras terrifying, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. They seemed to have come from ancient times, heading towards the end of darkness, and the whole process was incredibly bizarre!
At this moment, Su Yu's cultivation had reached the pinnacle, allowing him to contend with Immortal King. He had nothing to fear, but he still had some strange feelings in his heart, which made him ponder them.
He stood still, watching from afar Xuan Grass Puppet, carrying the Immortal King's corpse, gradually disappeared.
Suddenly, he caught up with them, got close to the corpse-driving procession, and saw what it was.
"An ancient, unknown skin of Immortal King, transformed into a puppet, has actually recreated the laws of Immortal King." Su Yu exclaimed, wanting to see where the puppet was headed.
The Xuan Grass Puppet remained expressionless, merely driving away the Immortal King's corpse without making a move.
Further away, someone else also noticed this scene, their gaze scrutinizing the only living being among the three, their expression inscrutable.
He didn't intervene, but merely watched indifferently as the three left...
Su Yu walked for a long time and saw the human skin puppet ascend to a corner of the sea of blood and disappear.
He hesitated for a moment, sensing no danger, and then entered. His eyes were met with a sea of blood, as if he had entered a demon's lair.
Su Yu looked down and saw that the links were connected by Bronze Lamp, each burning with grease scraped from the Immortal King's body. The smoke curled up, carrying an aura of vicissitude. When he crossed the passage, he found himself in the deep sea area.
There was no end in sight, only a hazy mist.
This place is infinitely far from the Immortal Domain, the Foreign Realm, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Even Immortal King would need ten thousand years to travel here. But the Blood Sea crosses the Boundary Sea space, saving people ten thousand years of hard work.
"This special teleportation array requires at least several Immortal King who have attained the Dao through space to work together to set it up."
Su Yu shook his head and continued to follow the Xuan Grass Puppet forward. The sudden impulse was still there, and he needed to continue pursuing it.
"Buzz!"
The magic array intertwined with light, and Su Yu set off again.
When he reappeared, the Xuan Grass Puppet had vanished, as if it had already gone far away.
His own soul sensed something; the Tribulation Blood within him was boiling, and his soul light surged, pointing in a certain direction. It was an island, its surface shimmering with a luminous glow, carrying a strange, both sacred and eerie aura.
"Here exist beings whose karma is extremely intertwined with mine."
Su Yu squinted, and the three soul flowers above his head rotated continuously, flowing with the power of his primordial spirit.
This is what allows him to venture deep into the Boundary Sea. Even though he hasn't truly established himself Immortal King, he dares to fight against giants, just like the Old Heavenly Horned Ant from the Immortal Ancient Era.
However, his own transformation was a soul metamorphosis, his primordial spirit possessing heaven-defying power. The latter, on the other hand, reigned supreme in terms of physical strength...
The island is vast, equivalent to a huge landmass, comparable to a 'land' in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Beyond the island, the waves surged, a gray expanse stretching to the horizon, with no end in sight and no way to see further.
On that island, there stands a willow tree, enormous and boundless, soaring into the clouds, its countless branches hanging down, carrying the power of order.
"The remains of the Willow Deity!"
Su Yu's pupils contracted, and he stopped in his tracks, not expecting to encounter this tree here.
Millions of miles away, a willow tree stood as black as ink, radiating a dark light. Its leaves and branches were as if carved from black jade, with flowing dark light and a terrifying aura that few Immortal King could rival.
It was so tall that its aura could be clearly sensed even from a great distance.
Su Yu's body trembled slightly, emanating a vast Immortal Qi. Some living beings revived and witnessed this scene outside.
"It's the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit!" The Female Kunpeng awoke from her long slumber, then paled. "She's been corrupted!"
"You're awake."
Su Yu moved slightly, looked inward at his Immortal Platform, and saw the state of the Female Kunpeng.
She had almost recovered to her prime, but many changes had occurred within her body, as much of her own essence and blood had been incorporated. Even her appearance had undergone subtle adjustments, making her somewhat resemble Su Yu, and her aura was becoming more unified.
The seeds of Su Yu Integration were all refined from the other's body; the connection between the two was extremely close.
Although the other party has awakened, his Dao Fruit is firmly rooted in Su Yu, making him similar to a Dao Soldier God.
The two talked, reminiscing about the past, their unspoken understanding unspoken, unaware of how many tens of thousands of times they had practiced dual cultivation together...
The dark willow tree was very quiet, as if it were sealed away or in a deep slumber; it had not yet come to life.
Suddenly, the Female Kunpeng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she sighed, " In Immortal Ancient, the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit saved me from great calamities several times. I never imagined that something as amazing as it would be corrupted by darkness."
"No, this is just a shell; her true spirit must have gone far away."
Su Yu shook his head and saw a bone tablet that read: Abandon the physical body, step into the darkness, and traverse the space between life and death.
That ancestor of the Sacrificial Spirit, fearless of life and death, took the initiative to confront the darkness, his primordial spirit rushing towards the Ultimate Ancient Land.
This is a road that outsiders cannot imagine.
Although he knew her choice, Su Yu fell silent upon witnessing the scene.
I still remember the old days in Stone Village, when he took root in Willow Deity, cultivating his mind and body, still owing him a debt of karma...
Chapter 869 Enlightenment, Unwilling to Be a Reflection of the Past Life
"Generation after generation crossed the sea, all to quell the rebellion..."
Su Yu stood motionless in the sky, unmoved by the dark storm raging in the sea.
He took a step forward, landing in front of the black willow. Activating his Dao Fruit, he unleashed his Immortal King- level spiritual power and called out, " Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit, awaken!"
In an instant, the sound was immense, resonating with the waves of the Boundary Sea, causing this ancient land to tremble violently. Countless runes appeared, and countless illusory figures transformed, all chanting the name of ' Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit ' in unison.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the Dark Willow Tree revived, its Tongtian trunk swaying, its thousands of black branches taut and ready for action.
It revived, giving birth to a new spirit, but it did not react to the overwhelming Daoist chants and instinctively launched a counterattack.
In the blink of an eye, thousands upon thousands of black branches pierced towards Su Yu, their dark light so intense that it would make even an ordinary Immortal King change color.
"By the way, you left too early. Although the old body has a new soul light, it is not a true individual after all." Su Yu sighed softly, having seen through the secret of this black willow, realizing he had arrived too early.
The other party was not a true Immortal King- level primordial spirit, but merely a nascent spirit with incomplete consciousness and no memory of the past.
"Sizzle!"
Su Yu's platform glowed, and chaotic energy surged. Countless blood-red chains of divine order pierced through the void, meeting the attack head-on.
After a fierce clash, the Dark Willow Tree, which had just awakened its soul, was no match for the Dark Willow Tree and was quickly countered, falling into a disadvantageous position.
It was furious, all the willow branches were dancing, and its aura was powerful and terrifying, but it had too many flaws and was pushed aside by Su Yu.
"You are still weak and do not know how to use this Immortal King- level body."
Su Yu strolled leisurely, familiarizing himself with the opponent's attack rhythm. With a single finger strike, countless Dao rails surged forth, instantly freezing the tree in place.
"Buzz!"
His brow gleamed, and a tiny figure within his crown rose from a seated position and stepped into the dark ancient willow's true form.
In the pitch-black sea of souls, Su Yu saw that new 'spirit'.
At this moment, it had not yet taken shape; it was merely a mist, its form trembling constantly, fearing the intruder.
"Don't be afraid. I once lived in this tree, but now I am merely a secondary inscription," Su Yu said gently, beginning to chant scriptures and expound the true words of the Great Dao.
Amidst the lingering Daoist chants, Liu Ling gradually overcame her fear and floated beside the outsider, listening to the scriptures.
All of this was an unconscious action.
Ten days later, the floating black mist continued to condense and then merged into a humanoid creature, its entire body as black as ink, as if it had emerged from the endless Dark Origin, except for a pair of eyes that were a cold, deathly gray, making it stand out from the rest of the body.
She glanced at her naked body, then looked at Su Yu, and subconsciously changed the color of her skin, transforming it into a snow-white and smooth complexion. In an instant, light bloomed all around, and the huge Dark Immortal Willow body exuded bursts of Chaos energy, which made her very happy.
"Immortal Master!" The woman knelt down beside him.
She originally needed tens of thousands of years to take human form, but now, under the guidance of a Supreme Peak master, she was spared all the hard work and transformed herself. Therefore, she felt grateful to the person in front of her.
You can call me Qingshui.
Su Yu shook his head, his tone gentle. With a flick of his finger, a large amount of divine power poured down, transforming into a black and gold brocade long dress and a corresponding inner shirt, which he then draped over her.
The woman was oblivious; seeing that the master was wearing Daoist robes, she did not refuse and put on the clothes.
"Do you know your own origins?" Su Yu asked.
The woman in the black dress shook her head, stroking her hair. She possessed an innate aloofness, which only softened slightly in front of those who had enlightened her.
Relying on the instincts of this old body, her combat power is enough to overpower ordinary Immortal King and rival that of Supreme Peak experts.
Over the years, this island, nestled deep within the Boundary Sea, has witnessed the landing of powerful enemies. Some were repelled by the Dark Immortal Willow, while others, weaker ones, perished here, devoured by the Dark Willow.
Even though it is a spirit born from the old body of the Willow Deity, when it comes into contact with darkness, it has a special kind of demonic nature.
Su Yu didn't say much, and took out a bone tablet.
This was found not far from the willow tree itself, and it contains a fragment of a primordial spirit imprint, which simply recounts some old events.
"If this mark is implanted, your strength will recover quickly, and you will regain your memories of your past life," Su Yu explained.
The woman frowned slightly. Although she wanted to become stronger quickly, the matter involved her past and present lives, and she subconsciously resisted it.
This involves individual independence.
No living being wants to be a copy of someone else.
As An Lan once said: True strength does not believe in Lunhui.
"She left behind the tree trunk, and her true spirit dissipated? If that's the case, I'm willing to accept it and avenge her." The woman's voice was gentle, but it contained a coldness within, revealing her distinct personality and character.
"She's not dead yet." Su Yu shook his head.
"If that's the case, I don't want to become a second her; I want to be the first version of myself."
Unsurprisingly, the woman made her choice, refusing to merge with the primordial spirit imprint within the bone tablet.
She pursed her lips slightly, flicked her finger, and conjured a mirror out of thin air. Gazing at her exquisitely beautiful face reflected in the mirror, she murmured, "I can read her story, but I don't want to be her shadow."
Upon hearing the other party's reply, Su Yu nodded, neither forcing nor wanting to do so.
In the end, the Dark Immortal Willow returned with Su Yu.
This is not the Willow Deity of the past; the primordial spirit is different, it is a brand new individual. However, Su Yu still has a special feeling for it, as if it were an old friend from the past.
As for the added sharpness and aloofness, it did give Su Yu a different experience.
During the long journey home, the Female Kunpeng also appeared. She was surprised to see the newly born Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit, but she did not care that the other party was an individual who came out of the Dark Origin and was very friendly.
