Chapter 38

Jiemie Ghost Ridge!

Lu Li sat cross-legged, motionless.

After the deduction just now.

He finally deduced the origin of this pitch-black ghost mist.

It was the evolution of ultimate death Qi!

This was a land of death, buried with endless withered bones, with no vitality, accumulating vast and infinite death Qi. Over those long years, the death Qi constantly evolved, only then gradually giving birth to this pitch-black ghost mist.

Extremely yin and extremely evil!

Eroding everything!

Forming a world of its own in this endless wilderness!

Turning into a terrifying forbidden land!

Even a Martial Monarch dared not get any closer!

But for Lu Li, stepping into this place didn't necessarily mean death; after the deduction just now, he had already found the true way to escape.

Yin and Yang of heaven and earth!

Two poles of the human body!

Life and death are opposites but unified; only by reaching a certain balance can life be fresh and vivid.

In other words!

From the moment all living things are born, death Qi is born within their bodies.

But, life and death are relatively balanced!

Once the death Qi in a living being's body exceeds its vitality, it is the beginning of death.

The method Lu Li deduced was to completely strip away the vitality in his body, hide it in one point, let the death Qi fill his entire body, causing a state of fake death, and completely assimilate with this pitch-black ghost mist.

Thus, heaven and earth are one, harmonious and unified, and he would no longer suffer erosion.

"That point is in the Source Cell!"

Lu Li muttered softly.

A martial artist's vitality is vast and infinite!

Before breaking through to Martial Spirit, there is no place that can completely contain it, but after Martial Spirit, the Source Cell is activated, which is the true origin of the human body, capable of bearing all power.

That endless vitality can be hidden here!

Lu Li didn't hesitate anymore.

"Start!"

He shouted softly.

In his mind, the fused Thousand-fold Talent was pushed to the limit, every strand of power in his body was completely controlled, those powers flowed like water, deep into every part of his body, stripping away the vitality bit by bit.

Then, guided by the power of the origin, it constantly merged into the Source Cell deep in his heart.

At this moment.

Just as Lu Li was going all out to separate the vitality in his body.

In the deepest part of this Jiemie Ghost Ridge, an ancient long vine swayed gently.

That long vine was as thick as a barrel, pitch-black, in this pitch-black ghost mist, reaching the sky and the earth, one end deep into the endless firmament, its roots at its feet leading in all directions, connecting every piece of dead bone, absorbing their last bit of power.

Magic Vine!

This is the true Magic Vine!

And at the top of this swaying Magic Vine, a pitch-black flame grew.

That flame swayed left and right, wisps of black light piercing through the endless ghost mist, as if it had discovered something fun, jumping down from the top of the Magic Vine.

Arriving on the ground.

It looked left and right, and finally landed on a dead bone.

"Shoo!"

The pitch-black flame flashed.

Entering between the forehead of that dead bone.

Then, that dead bone seemed to have gained vitality, stretched its limbs a few times, and stood up shakily.

"Creak, creak..."

The dead bone moved its feet.

Accompanied by the sound of this rhythm, it headed in a certain direction.

Soon.

That dead bone arrived in front of Lu Li.

At this moment, most of the vitality in Lu Li's body had been stripped away, completely like a dead person.

That dead bone circled Lu Li twice, as if it had found a new toy, jumped happily twice, the firelight in the empty pupils of the corpse flashed, and it entered Lu Li's body.

The pitch-black flame left.

That dead bone immediately fell apart, turning into dust and completely dissipating.

And in Lu Li's body, the moment the flame entered, it rushed straight to the spirit platform, wanting to control his consciousness.

"This..."

Lu Li was somewhat dumbfounded.

He wasn't dead yet!

Why was someone trying to occupy his body so quickly?

Lu Li immediately stopped stripping away his vitality, the power in his body like a surging giant wave, all surrounding the pitch-black flame.

"Ga!"

That pitch-black flame seemed to have been frightened.

Instantly stopped its movements!

Then turned its head and desperately rushed toward the outside of Lu Li's body.

But Lu Li, who had fused the Thousand-fold Talent, had such frightening control over the power in his body; every bit of that power could be exerted to the limit. In this world, he feared that even if a king descended, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Seeing that the flame was about to rush out of his body, the endless power turned into thousands of chains, binding it rapidly.

"Ssh!"

The pitch-black flame suddenly blazed with firelight.

The scorching power suddenly bloomed, burning all the binding power to nothing.

"Hmm?"

Lu Li frowned.

He hadn't expected this pitch-black flame not only to be able to walk in the pitch-black ghost mist but also to release such terrifying heat.

Such a special flame must not be let go.

Thinking of this, the power in Lu Li's body increased by another thirty percent, continuing to wind around the pitch-black flame.

That pitch-black flame didn't run away anymore.

It turned back, the flame on its body burning with a crackling sound, as if it were extremely angry, the firelight blazing, instantly splitting into all directions, spreading throughout Lu Li's entire body, burning rapidly.

Lu Li did not give way.

The power in his body also filled his limbs and bones, constantly obstructing and surrounding it.

Just like that.

The two entangled.

Constantly going deep into every cell.

And outside, Lu Li's body was also slowly wrapped by the pitch-black flame, the physical injuries constantly expanding, but in all directions, the pitch-black ghost mist seemed to have seen a king, all retreating three times, daring not to get any closer to Lu Li.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed.

In that Jiemie Ghost Ridge, Lu Li's body was already scorched black.

However, the aura in his body had not weakened in the slightest.

The entanglement was still continuing!

And at this time, in Qian Cheng, a shocking earthquake erupted.

The City Lord had left!

Three fierce beast armies surged over.

With the return of the Ouyang family members, everything erupted.

The city was in panic!

But with the appearance of Vice City Lord Yu Wuji, a golden decree spread throughout the city.

In the city, all martial dao people acted rapidly!

Major families, various martial dao academies, major martial artist residential areas, etc., everyone who practiced cultivation picked up weapons and gathered from all directions toward the outside of Qian Cheng like a tide.

A hundred-mile boundary!

That was Qian Cheng's safety limit!

Once the fierce beasts attacked within a hundred miles and descended under the city walls, Qian Cheng could be broken in an instant.

Before the City Lord returned, they had to cooperate with the Qian Cheng army and guard there to the death.

Heaven and earth roared!

Endless fierce beasts rushed over from all parts of the endless wilderness.

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out!

Just like that.

And I don't know how much more time passed.

In that pitch-black ghost mist.

The pitch-black flame wrapped around Lu Li's body slowly disappeared.

On his body, the terrifying injuries burned everywhere also healed instantly.

He stood up slowly.

In this Jiemie Ghost Ridge where there is no vitality, a vast pressure descended suddenly; that pressure had no beginning and no end, as if born from the origin of heaven and earth, everywhere, nothing could block it!

And the moment it descended!

Deep in the liver, a point of origin spiritual light flashed out.

The second Source Cell was activated instantly!

In Lu Li's life, the second evolution had arrived!
