Alienated Martial Arts

Ahead is a seemingly endless long stone staircase.

There was nothing behind him.

No color, no sound.

It's a completely empty realm.

It was filled with an aura of decay and decay, as if it had gradually lost all life and vitality under the erosion of time.

It feels like a dark prison.

And it is a death sentence that is difficult for all living beings to escape from.

Wei Tao stretched out a few tentacles and dipped them into it to try to sense it.

Just after crossing the disappearing steps, all the tentacles were suddenly eroded by the power of annihilation and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

This feeling reminded him of his first confrontation with Ji Luo and his first formal contact with the power of emptiness and annihilation.

But compared with what happened behind him, the power of annihilation that Ji Luo borrowed was as childish as a trick played by a child.

The gap between the two is so huge that it is simply impossible to calculate.

The blood network acupoints are constantly expanding and contracting, causing the "liquid thread" to accelerate and swallow the power of death to swim around the sky.

Finally, he was able to stabilize his body, step forward again, and continue moving forward before the stone steps he stepped on disappeared, getting rid of the great danger that was about to come.

After climbing hundreds of stone steps in a row, Wei Tao suddenly felt something in his heart and turned his head to look back again.

Looking through the darkness that seemed to swallow everything, he saw a twisted and chaotic colorful ribbon.

It seems to be far away in the horizon, but it seems to be close at hand.

Maybe in the next moment, you can cross the vast darkness and appear beside him silently.

And as the ribbon danced and rotated, circles of ripples quietly spread out.

The empty space behind him is reflected hazily, showing its beauty.

"This is not a colorful ribbon, but the sparkling waves of light when the oars pass by."

"I understand that the disappearance of the dilapidated stone steps below was not due to other reasons, but due to the approach of the rafting people and the intertwining of the powers of two different supervisors, which produced such a terrifying effect."

"So, even though he had already entered the whirlpool and hid, that guy still chased me, as if I didn't pay back the money I owed him, and he wouldn't give up until he found me and captured me."

"More importantly, with my current level of strength, it is already very difficult to resist the supervisor who may fall into sleep. If I am again involved in the conflicting qi of the two sides, I am afraid that even if I have a stronger body, I will never be able to do it." There is no escape.”

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. Against the pressure from all directions, he took another step forward to distance himself further from the emptiness that spread rapidly behind him.

And the further up you go, the more terrifying the pressure on your body becomes.

Even with Wei Tao's physical strength, he couldn't help but make a rattling noise, and had to release his second level of fighting form to resist.

More importantly, the stone steps below were disappearing faster and faster, almost catching up with his upward climb.

Forcing Wei Tao to accelerate again, regardless of the explosive power, he withstood the majestic pressure everywhere while increasing his absorption and devouring of the power of annihilation.

Time passed little by little.

He didn't know how many steps he climbed up.

I only know that under this kind of oppression and erosion, my spirit has become a little inexplicable.

The whole person seemed to have turned into a mindless climbing machine, almost all his attention was focused on the stone steps at his feet. The only purpose was to keep going up until he reached the top of the endless stone steps.

Suddenly, he subconsciously raised his head and looked up diagonally.

There, on more than a hundred stone steps, a faint light also appeared.

It has some similarities with the swaying ribbon behind it, but it lies flat and motionless in the darkness, as if it has lost its vitality, leaving only the power of death and nothingness still dissipating spontaneously outwards.

Wei Tao concentrated and held his breath, and at this moment he "smelled" the suddenly doubled attraction, coming from the depths of the flat light of death.

If his physical body hadn't been strong to a certain extent, and his spirit and body were harmonious to protect his soul, he might not have been able to get here at all, and would have been imprisoned by the huge oppressive force, and would never be able to climb a step higher.

However, as he climbed all the way, under the ubiquitous pressure, the power of annihilation that he absorbed was forged and tempered, and integrated more closely with his body and soul, even making the "liquid thread" larger and larger. Thick, the second night thread was separated silently.

Then the third and fourth.

Until I saw the frozen light of death, the "liquid thread" circulating in the blood network acupoints had changed from a solitary strand at the beginning to nine threads now coming out, entangled and intertwined.

"There are still the last hundred steps."

"And after moving from the first line to the ninth line, the pressure that was unbearable before is no longer so painful and is completely within the range that one can bear."

"Thinking further, the feelings along the way are still unforgettable. It's like experiencing an unforgettable retreat and constantly improving under the guidance of an invisible teacher.

Whether it is huge pressure or the light of death, their purpose does not seem to be to imprison and kill me. Instead, they seem to be helping me strengthen my body and condense my true soul in some way until I can blend with it seamlessly. territory. "

Various thoughts flashed through Wei Tao's mind, and then he took a step forward and stood on the last section of the stone steps.

boom!

Taking a step forward, an even more terrifying and violent force suddenly descended, bending his waist in an instant.

At the same time, the light of annihilation, which was even stronger than before, rose up, completely covering the whole person.

Wei Tao didn't even need to devour and absorb it through the attribution of various laws, but it took the initiative to sink into his body, quickly intertwining with the nine "liquid threads", almost indistinguishable from each other.

Click! ! !

Wei Tao wiped away the blood that overflowed from his mouth and nose, and took another step forward.

It landed heavily in the middle of the next stone step.

For the first time, the steps looked dilapidated but were extremely sturdy, leaving a footprint several inches deep on it.

Click!

Click, click, click!

Wei Tao withstood the pressure and continued to move forward.

The crisp cracking sounds merged into one piece.

The footprints left behind became deeper and deeper, causing the stone steps to begin to crack inch by inch, forming dense patterns that spread rapidly toward the surrounding area.

Even after the emptiness spread from behind, even though the stone steps where he once stood were swallowed up and disappeared, the line of footprints still clearly existed, like the Vajra of Shattered Void Enlightenment, and the traces left behind are eternal from now on.

The blood network in the body is made up of nine silk threads, big and small, all around the sky.

Wei Tao exerted all his strength, and the Hongmeng Purple Qi surged out from all the acupoints like a torrential wave. It merged with the incoming force of Nirvana faster and faster, driving the nine silk threads to expand and become larger, almost covering the blood network. It's going to burst.

The cycle of life and death is empty.

Driven by the attribution of all dharmas, a mysterious balance is finally reached.

Wei Tao couldn't help but be deeply immersed in it, as if he was having a sweet dream that he didn't want to wake up from.

It wasn't until I reached the end of the long stone steps that I suddenly woke up from my trance.

Bang!

He exerted force suddenly, stepped over the last stone step, and finally stood on the top platform.

Turning around and looking back, the emptiness continued to expand.

Except for the last ten or so steps, the dilapidated stairs that were originally climbing had completely turned into deathly darkness.

Only one line of footprints that exudes a faint light has not been swallowed up and eliminated by the spreading silence. It is like a sign that Tao will remain forever in the long river of time and space, showing that he has walked through it before. Even after the vicissitudes of time, he can't. Cover and bury it.

Seeing this scene, Wei Tao couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

Recalling the figure that I saw boating in the depths of the long river of time and space not long ago.

The line of footprints he stepped on seemed to be the same as the traces left by the other party.

But if you think about it carefully, there is a big difference between the two.

The mysterious person who may be the supervisor shuttled through the waves, leaving behind an almost complete scene. But just now, he had almost exhausted everything. He was exerting all his power, and the blood network orifice was about to burst, but at most it was nothing more. I stepped on a line of footprints and came out.

It has to be said that there is still a visible gap between the two sides.

At least judging from the traces left behind, there is only a difference between a line of footprints and a boat with waves.

Wei Tao gathered his thoughts and focused on the scene in front of him.

Everywhere you look is filled with ruins and scorched black marks.

It was like being struck by lightning, igniting a raging fire and burning everything down.

And at the end of his sight was the lifeless ball of light.

There seems to be a shadow floating in it, looming.

An increasingly strong attraction came from the shadow, constantly driving him into the center of the light of annihilation to see what it was.

Wei Tao held his breath and concentrated, still feeling deeply, when he suddenly heard a soft click, quietly swinging away from the stone steps behind him.

The emptiness and nothingness was still approaching. At this time, it had submerged to the last stone steps, and gradually spread towards the ruins.

"There is no way forward, and there are pursuers behind me. With my current level of strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to withstand the erosion of the light of death, and at the same time, I cannot defeat the supervisors who come by boat. So what will happen next? Do it?”

Wei Tao thought, even with his tempered state of mind, he was in a dilemma at this moment, and it was difficult to make a final decision.

Time passed quietly.

The emptiness and nothingness is swallowing up the highest step, and the next moment we will actually reach the platform.

"Persimmons need to be pinched softly, so even if there are monitors in front and behind, one can still be alive and come on a boat, while the other is in ruins and showing signs of decay. There is no objection to the choice."

Wei Tao had a thought in his mind, and before the void and emptiness approached, he took a step forward into the charred ruins.

boom! ! !

The power of annihilation beyond imagination suddenly came.

The thick black scales shattered, and blood mist exploded on the body surface.

Even the blood network of the orifices inside could not withstand such pressure and showed more and more cracks.

At this moment, a cold mechanical voice sounded quietly.

Like a huge wave, it swayed directly in Wei Tao's consciousness.

"Find a suitable body and prepare for testing."

"Suitable body for testing?"

As soon as Wei Tao thought about it, he was almost overwhelmed by the sudden mental shock.

Wow! ! !

The holy fruit of all time was poured into the mouth.

The status bar also manifests void.

Name: Hongmeng Dao Body.

Progress: 100%.

Status: Peak.

Description: The beginning of Hongmeng and the foundation of the universe.

"Whether to consume a gold coin to improve the progress of Hongmeng Taoist practice."

Wei Tao gritted his teeth violently, tried his best to maintain the remaining ray of clarity, and chose yes without hesitation.

Uh-huh!

A gold coin disappeared.

The mysterious aura suddenly exploded.

The vastness is like a big wave, pouring into the body one after another.

Wei Tao suddenly narrowed his eyes, opened his mouth and spat out a blazing arrow of blood.

He also did not expect that Hongmeng Dao Body's journey of breaking the limit would change so drastically.

Just the injection of the mysterious aura into the body has already caused such painful feelings.

Then when the Hongmeng Purple Qi and the power of Nirvana collide and blend, and the Holy Fruit of Time stretches the two, we still don't know what kind of reaction there will be.

Boom! ! !

In the dark realm shrouded in the light of death, and in the charred ruins, the silence suddenly ceased, and a thunder exploded.

That's when the unbearable pain came.

After the thick scales were broken, the nearly indestructible skin also began to crack in large areas.

Countless flesh and blood surged wildly, intertwining and entangled from within the crack, trying to repair the wound.

Then it was torn apart again without any suspense.

The cycle goes on and on.

It seemed like it would never end.

A large ball of blood gushed out from the corner of his lips, and Wei Tao raised his hand to wipe it away.

But then, more blood mist exploded from all over the body, looking like a demon that had just crawled out of the sea of ​​blood.

Since you can't wipe it clean, just don't wipe it at all.

As long as you can withstand the pressure and erosion of the dying light, and swallow it up, you will have nothing to fear no matter how much blood you consume.

Wei Tao gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his mood gradually became calmer.

Under the influence of the mysterious aura, all dharma attributes were operating with all their strength, absorbing the power of annihilation into their own bodies, and struggling to incorporate it into one acupoint after another.

The blood network resonates and becomes stronger to repair the cracks.

Then the changes extend to the tearing wounds, just like reshaping the physical body bit by bit.

As this process continued, Wei Tao seemed to hear a cracking sound that seemed to be absent.

In his perception, as the Hongmeng Tao Body broke through the limits, his entire spirit seemed to be rising continuously, until he encountered a large net woven by countless shackles.

The breaking sound heard at this time may be a shackle on the Internet being broken and broken free.

boom! ! !

The last mysterious breath came.

Brings a soft click sound.

Although he didn't see anything, in the deepest part of his consciousness, it seemed that something had really been torn apart, tearing a hole in the large net woven by the shackles.

While he felt indescribably relaxed, something strange seemed to have been attracted to him, giving him a splitting headache, as if his head had been split in two, and something was going deep into it and stirring constantly.

There is also an inexplicable depression that comes to mind, as if something has been disturbing and affecting the true soul.

He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his expression looked a little confused.

In the status bar, there is the exercise interface.

Name: Hongmeng Dao Body.

Progress: one hundred and ten.

Status: Breaking the limit for a while.

Description: Hongmeng is beginning to open, and the world is turning around.

"Whether to consume a gold coin to improve the progress of Hongmeng Taoist practice."

Wei Tao closed the status bar and thought slightly.

Within the blood network, the nine "liquid threads" have disappeared.

Instead, there is a crystal located in the Dantian acupoint.

It rotates slowly and beautifully.

The surface is sparkling, like a long river of time and space reflected in it.

"Nine-nine are returned to one, all laws are attributed."

Wei Tao sighed softly and opened his eyes at this moment, and a silent figure reflected in his eyes.

I don't know whether it is a man or a woman. It looks blurry and stands motionless in front of it.

It seemed as if it was swallowing and absorbing even the light of death, creating pure darkness centered on its body.

The next moment, the figure slowly raised his head and looked towards Wei Tao.

The eyes of both parties intertwined and met, and even the light of death could not stop it.

Wei Tao's body slowly sank, and his fists clenched little by little, already on the verge of exploding at any time.

Although there is still some distance.

Although that figure looks unreal.

He was just talking to himself and sighing in a low voice.

But it put a considerable amount of pressure on him.

Even if the Hongmeng Dao body is broken beyond the limit and raised, it is still unable to explore the true foundation of the opponent.

It is like a deep pool, but inside it is connected to the bottomless abyss, as if it can swallow up and destroy everything.

Quietly, a slightly hoarse voice sounded in Wei Tao's ears, which sounded like a sigh of nostalgia, "When I see you, it seems that time and space are messed up, and it's like seeing myself back in the day.

It's a pity that I was no longer me since then, and almost lost all my independent will. Even if I suffered fatal injuries later, I could not free myself from the confinement of the town. "

"Fortunately, you are here and you can finally free me. Even though it comes at the cost of complete destruction, I think it is very worth it."

"Then, from now on, you will take over my existence and be tortured by endless shackles until you completely lose yourself..."

The faint sigh gradually faded away.

The illusory figure that was either bright or dark disappeared quietly.

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes suddenly and realized that he had passed through the ruins and stood in the center of the charred platform.

It seemed as if the unbearable pain just now, the strange and illusory figures I saw, and everything I heard were just a dream.

Now that I woke up from the dream, everything was back to where it started.

There was only a figure sitting cross-legged in front of him. Although he was wearing a set of heavy armor, he looked like a sculpture that had been washed away by the ages and was about to fall into disintegration.

"Losing yourself and taking over existence?"

"Is this corpse talking to me?"

"I don't know what he is talking about. The Riddler deserves to die."

Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, watching the corpse quietly turn into ashes and disperse, leaving only a set of armor falling to the ground, and he couldn't help but feel some regret in his heart.

His reaction seemed a little slow.

You should speak to the other party as soon as you find him, at least there will be no waste like now.

but……

Wei Tao turned his eyes away from the armor and looked around at the charred ruins of the walls.

An inexplicable sense of urgency suddenly arose in my heart.

After all, the emptiness and annihilation are still spreading.

If he moves a little slower, he may not be able to eat up the armor and the ruins and accumulate enough energy for the upcoming fight or escape.
