Its sharp mouthparts pierced the skin, and the insect's slightly transparent body immediately vanished, as if it had exhausted its strength.
"Ah!"
An uncontrollable scream erupted from Xu Long, who shuddered and nearly fell from the sky.
It hurts so much!
Pain from the soul is far more terrifying than any physical wound.
One wrong move, and then a series of defeats ensued.
Three insects broke through the blockade and stung him.
Five... ten... thirty... one hundred...
In less than ten breaths, Xu Long was overwhelmed by the insects.
The battle seemed to have ended here; even the Great Qin Bronze Men stopped struggling, allowing the giant python to coil and squeeze him.
"You destroyed my country; killing you is far too lenient."
The White Miao King snorted coldly, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.
That was the country he had ruled for over two thousand years. Although it was not perfect and had many drawbacks, he enjoyed the practice of periodically eliminating pests and catching traitors.
Watching those with ill intentions being bitten to death by insects, suffering agonizing torment, would bring him great pleasure.
Unfortunately, White Miao was gone, and he was left all alone.
"Looks like we'll have to go to the Central Plains and find a country."
White Miao King sighed. The culprit was dead, and he had no intention of participating in the battle between the Moon Worship Sect Leader and the Sword Saint Dugu.
On the one hand, they had no grudges against each other, but on the other hand, they simply couldn't get involved.
The cultivation levels of those two individuals had reached a realm beyond his comprehension; they were just one step away from World Breaking to ascension.
Although he lived for over two thousand years, he was far inferior to the two of them.
However, just as White Miao King was about to leave, an extremely terrifying aura appeared out of nowhere, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
"Whether it's conforming to the world or adhering to my own path, it's still the way. What I lack isn't enlightenment, but a fearless heart."
Xu Long murmured to himself; the intense pain did not kill him, but instead fueled his fighting spirit.
The path of Martial Cultivation is about cultivating the mind.
Heaven and earth collapsed, spiritual energy dissipated, countless immortals and gods perished, and the end of the Dharma era arrived. Our ancestors, filled with indomitable spirit, established the path of Martial Cultivation with great wisdom, courage, and perseverance.
From then on, martial arts reigned supreme in the world. The power of mortals could slay immortals and gods.
"Fearless of heaven and earth, forging ahead bravely. Even mountains of knives and seas of fire, even bottomless abysses, cannot stop my progress."
"Behold my Heaven and Earth One Sword!"
A loud shout resounded in all directions, and a dazzling sword light pierced the sky, seemingly capable of tearing apart heaven and earth.
Unstoppable!
We absolutely cannot stop them!
This is a sword that pierces through heaven and earth, a sword that annihilates all things.
There is no intention to destroy, only a determination to forge ahead fearlessly!
laugh!
The sword light disregarded spatial distance and arrived before the White Miao King the moment it appeared.
"How... is this possible..."
The White Miao King's face was filled with horror, and his body turned to ashes and vanished from the world.
He lost, lost inexplicably, and lost in a way that was hard to accept.
[Defeat the White Miao King! Obtain the Treasure Chest - White Miao King!]
The notification sounded in his mind, but Xu Long ignored it.
He was looking at this world, this world shrouded in illusion.
The scene was one of devastation and utter ruin.
There were no flowers, trees, birds, insects, or beasts.
All that remained was a Blood Moon and a sword.
To Illuminating the Mind and Seeing One's True Nature and Unity of Heaven and Man.
Xu Long has finally achieved the final soul transformation in the Martial Cultivation inheritance process.
This power was originally something only a master of the Mahayana Stage could wield, but he had already achieved it before reaching S-rank.
" The Unity of Heaven and Man, so this is what the Unity of Heaven and Man is all about!"
Xu Long murmured, a glint of light seemingly flashing in his eyes.
The concept of "Unity of Heaven and Man" means merging oneself into the universe.
To Goten and understand this world.
This will allow him to see more clearly and understand more fully.
This applies not only to the world, but even more so to oneself.
Compared to combat, the state of " Illuminating the Mind and Seeing One's True Nature and Unity of Heaven and Man " is more about improving one's speed of understanding nature and bringing oneself closer to the world.
That move just now was something Xu Long comprehended through the state of oneness with Unity of Heaven and Man.
With unwavering determination, shatter all obstacles in our path.
This sword strike could be described as very strong, but it could also be described as very weak.
The key is determination.
The path of Martial Cultivation is ultimately about cultivating the mind.
When his heart falls into depravity, this move becomes useless.
Xu Long glanced at the Moon Worship Sect Leader and the Sword Saint Dugu, deciding he had no intention of getting involved right now.
The battle between the two has reached a critical moment; if he gets close now, he'll probably be seriously injured instantly.
Upon opening the treasure chest obtained after defeating the White Miao King, two notification sounds immediately rang out.
[Obtained 36 Low-Grade Spirit Stone!]
[Obtain the Illusory Snake!]
Name: Illusory Snake
Grade: Mid-Grade Dharma Artifact
Type: Weapons/Armor/Other
Origin: The Legend of Sword and Fairy
Skill:
1. Snake Spear: The Illusory Snake can transform into a spear, and each attack will always deal soul damage of equal strength.
2. Snake Shield: The Illusory Snake can transform into a shield that grants immunity to soul attacks. If the attack intensity exceeds the limit, the Illusory Snake will collapse.
3. Snake Intent: The Illusory Snake can control S-rank and lower-ranked units, forcibly making them recognize its master. After recognizing its master, the servant can use the Snake Spear and Snake Shield skills.
Note: The White Miao King's most prized work is now yours.
"Wow! That's really something!"
Upon seeing the description of the Illusory Snake, Xu Long couldn't help but slap his thigh in excitement.
Leaving aside the Snake Spear and Snake Shield, these are specifically designed to target soul power.
The former is accompanied by a soul attack, while the latter is immune to soul attacks.
Although exceeding the limit will cause a crash, most S-rank simply cannot reach that level.
The most interesting skill is the third one, which forcibly forces an S-rank character to recognize it as its master, and after recognizing it, the character can continue to use the Snake Spear and Snake Shield.
What's this called?
This is called getting an S-rank servant for free!
A servant with the special ability of soul power!
With the Snake Spear in hand, Xu Long's team could expand by one point.
If we could find an S-rank elemental creature like Weak Water, that would be a huge windfall.
He has Five-Color Bracelet that can nourish creatures or materials of the Five Elements elements, and with the addition of the Illusory Snake, it will definitely become a great help to him.
As for the Rice Bucket, they should just stick to doing laundry, cooking, stir-frying, and housework.
Xu Long put the Illusory Snake into his storage space and watched the show from the sidelines.
Although the battle between the Moon Worship Sect Leader and the Sword Saint Dugu was not particularly large-scale, it was extremely dangerous.
The blood-red moon cast its light upon the earth, turning everything bathed in its crimson hue.
Corpses littered the fields, and blood flowed like rivers.
Countless vengeful spirits are wailing, and countless evil spirits are howling.
One by one, the Red Spider Lily quietly bloom, making this cruel world even more eerie.
Sword Saint Dugu, on the other hand, is much simpler: a sword, a tough and sharp sword.
Despite the blood-red sky and the howling of evil spirits and vengeful ghosts, he remained unchanged.
Even as time flies and the world changes, he remains the same.
