Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven
#541 - Into despair
"I promise you, after I regenerate your right arm, restore your face, and take you away from the Cliff of绝命, I will leave you far away and never see you again..."
Such a voice echoed in Mu Yunxi's ears.
He had promised her, promised to let her go.
But why didn't she feel any relief in her heart? Instead, it felt as if it had been hollowed out.
Gradually, the sounds before that sentence became blurred, leaving only the second half: "I will leave you far away and never see you again..."
This half of the sentence kept echoing in her ears, like a knife stabbing into her heart again and again.
Her expression was dull, her eyes lifeless, until Jun Wuxie prepared to continue deeper, she mechanically sat on Lan Lan, whose injuries had recovered, her whole person as if she had lost her soul.
Jun Wuxie did not ride with her.
She probably needed to calm down alone.
He didn't want to stimulate her again, to touch that tightly stretched string in her heart, to see her painful and collapsing appearance.
What exactly was hidden in her heart, what was she afraid of, what was the crux of the problem? He felt that he had to figure it out, only then could he help her open her heart, otherwise, if things continued like this, her Dao heart would be completely destroyed.
Without going deep for too long, there was no road ahead.
It seemed that they had reached the deepest part of this mountain range, where the mist was hazy, a very thick mist, with extremely strong spatial power flowing inside.
Obviously, that was the end. If one stepped into that mist, they would probably encounter a killing tribulation even more terrifying than the previous domain.
Near the misty area, there was a ruin, stretching for more than ten miles, full of broken walls, gravel and rubble.
In the central position of the ruins, there was a stone hall that had not completely collapsed. The top had been broken, and several cracks had appeared on the walls, which were covered with emerald green vines.
The leaves of the vines were as big as palms, filled with a faint aura of life, which surprised Jun Wuxie somewhat.
In such ruins, there was no vegetation anywhere else, only the central stone hall, which actually grew vines exuding an aura of life, which was really a bit rare.
"There's no road, could it be that we've gone the wrong way?"
Jun Wuxie couldn't help but frown. He clearly remembered the direction pointed by the female phantom, which was in this mountain range.
Now, this mountain range had come to an end, but there was only such a ruin?
"Let's go, let's go take a look."
Since they had already arrived here, they had to take a look.
He always felt that the vines were a bit unusual.
Entering the ruins, looking at the broken walls, he found that there were also withered trees buried inside, now only the withered roots remained.
Occasionally, he could see some tattered tools woven from branches.
Getting closer to the stone hall, Jun Wuxie's pupils suddenly contracted.
His gaze was fixed on a broken flower bed in front of the stone hall. Inside, there was a flower growing, its roots like human shinbones, without leaves, the top was a strange flower, the petals like curved bones, radiating a white jade-like light.
"Bone-Growing Flower!"
Jun Wuxie's breathing suddenly became a little rapid.
Ever since Uncle Bird's accident, he had been craving Bone-Growing Flowers, Flesh Spirit Zhi, and the Spring of Life.
But these things were hard to come by.
He obtained the Flesh Spirit Zhi, by chance, from that old raincoat bastard who wanted to refine him into a Rebirth Elixir.
He still didn't know where to find the Spring of Life with a purity of 100%.
The same was true for the Bone-Growing Flower!
But at this moment, the Bone-Growing Flower was right in front of him.
Not only could it be used to treat Uncle Bird in the future, but it could also help Mu Yunxi regenerate her severed arm right now!
"Woo woo!"
Lan Lan carried Mu Yunxi to his side, looking at the broken stone hall covered with vines in front, the hair on her neck stood up, and she issued a dangerous warning.
Jun Wuxie was shocked.
There was danger lurking here!
Lan Lan's warning had never been wrong.
He immediately calmed down, activated his Primordial True Eyes to observe carefully, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find anything, nor did he detect any dangerous aura.
The position he was standing at now was separated from the stone hall by an area.
This area was relatively clean, without collapsed walls or rubble.
But there were three stone tablets covered with traces of time.
The stone tablets were not very big, three meters high, distributed in an equilateral triangular shape.
The middle of the stone tablet closest to the stone hall was very smooth, as if inlaid with a mirror, surrounded by strange and mysterious patterns.
Presumably, the other two stone tablets should also be like this.
Only standing in his position, he could only see the back of the stone tablets, unable to see the front facing the stone hall.
Between him and the stone hall, besides the three stone tablets, there was only the Bone-Growing Flower, nothing else.
Where did Lan Lan's perception of danger come from?
Jun Wuxie thought for a while, perhaps only the stone hall, it seemed that there was something terrible hidden in the stone hall?
But no matter what, he was determined to get the Bone-Growing Flower!
It grew in the flower bed in front of the stone hall. Picking the Bone-Growing Flower didn't require entering the stone hall. Even if there was danger lurking inside, as long as he moved quickly, picked it and quickly moved away, there shouldn't be any problems.
Having made up his mind, Jun Wuxie immediately took action.
"Jun Wuxie!"
Mu Yunxi called out to him, Lan Lan's warning made her feel very uneasy.
"I don't need the Bone-Growing Flower, and I don't want that arm either, come back!"
She didn't want him to take risks. Lan Lan's last warning was not long ago, the domain was so terrible that it could kill a Half-Saint.
If it weren't for Lan Lan's magical powers, if it weren't for Jun Wuxie's Primordial True Eyes, their ending would only be death.
She didn't want him to fall into the same terrible trap again, which might cost him his life at any time!
"Mu Yunxi, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have cut off your own arm. You stupid woman, you're too cruel to yourself. In any case, I will regenerate the arm you lost, otherwise, Jun Wuxie's heart will never be able to get over it! Wait there, I'll be back soon!"
After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, the Golden Blood Qi Circle and the Guardian Shield were added to his body at the same time, and he swept across the sky like a streamer, rushing towards the Bone-Growing Flower in front of the stone hall.
At the moment he entered the area where the three stone tablets were located.
The mirrors on the three stone tablets instantly lit up, and the runes on them shone, blooming with dazzling brilliance.
Rumble!
A fist mark, as bright as the sun, with golden blood energy soaring to the sky, blasted out from the mirror of the front stone tablet, accompanied by the sound of dragon roars and tiger howls, causing Jun Wuxie's heart to shake violently.
Almost at the same time, dragon roars and tiger howls also sounded from both sides behind him, with two identical fist marks, like the sun shining in the sky, with golden blood energy soaring to the sky, blasting towards him.
Jun Wuxie's hair stood on end, and he soared into the sky in a vertical leap.
The three fist marks struck the air, shattering the void there, and golden energy rolled.
At the same time, three figures walked out from the stone tablet mirrors, their eyes indifferent, and they all looked up at Jun Wuxie in the air.
Jun Wuxie also looked at them, making it unbelievable for him for a while!
At this time, Mu Yunxi and Lan Lan outside were already stunned!
Four Jun Wuxies!
Four Jun Wuxies appeared inside at the same time!
"Jun Wuxie, come back quickly!"
Mu Yunxi's face was pale, and a look of horror that had never appeared before appeared in her eyes.
She knew that the man was already in a desperate situation at this moment!
That demon stone tablet could actually copy people's abilities!
No matter how strong a person is, how could he face three of himself at the same time?
"Woo woo!"
Lan Lan also saw Jun Wuxie's situation, made a low sound, and was about to rush in.
"Lan Lan, don't come!"
Jun Wuxie's eyes jumped wildly, and he stopped it in time!
What a joke, Lan Lan's magical powers are all heaven-defying secret techniques, one is enough to control people to death, if three opposing Lan Lan are copied, that would be a nightmare without any hope, truly despairing!
"Woo woo!"
Lan Lan's eyes were full of anxiety.
"Lan Lan, you can't go in. If you go, he will really have no hope..."
Mu Yunxi said crying, she regretted it so much, regretted not stopping him from coming here. If she had known it would be like this, she would have forced him to death, and would not have let him come to find the Bone-Growing Flower.
But she also knew that he felt uncomfortable seeing her like this, and ultimately couldn't bear to stop him. She didn't expect it to put him in a desperate situation...
At this moment.
Jun Wuxie stood in the air, three of his replicas stood on the ground, in a triangular position, their indifferent eyes and murderous aura locked him tightly.
He had no doubt that as long as he made the slightest movement, he would immediately be greeted with a thunderous attack from the replicas.
Huff!
He took a deep breath, never had he been so nervous when facing an enemy.
The opponent was not someone else, but his replica, who had used the Dragon-Tiger Strength when punching just now.
Then, the replicas must also know the other secret techniques he practiced!
This pressure made every inch of muscle in his body tense up.
"Kill!"
At the moment when his energy, spirit, and soul reached their peak, he suddenly launched an attack.
Dragon-Tiger Fist Marks, Seal Thirteen, overwhelmingly blasting the replicas.
Almost at the same time, the three replicas also used the same secret magical powers as him.
They didn't dodge at all, and they came up with a head-on collision.
Rumble!
All of Jun Wuxie's attacks were shattered in the air. One replica used secret techniques to collide with him, and the other two replicas, their fist marks and great seals, overwhelmingly killed him.
Jun Wuxie's pupils shrank, the runes under his feet flashed, and he moved horizontally in an instant.
But at the same time, the two replicas also used Divine Travel Without Distance, just appearing in the position where he was shifting.
He reacted quickly, with perfect close combat skills, dodging the close-range attack of one replica, but was hit by another replica, and the whole person flew out.
Blood splattered.
The flesh and blood on his shoulder blade was blurred, and the bone was almost cracked.
The Guardian Shield is ineffective!
Against the duplicates, the Hidden Bone Spirit Pearl has no effect!
Before he could recover, the three duplicates attacked from different directions, constantly surrounding him.
Jun Wuxie used all his means to strike at the three powerful enemies, golden blood blossoms constantly blooming on his body.
In less than a moment, he was already covered in wounds.
"Seven Kill Fist - Mountain and River Severance!"
He stared at the duplicate located in the direction of the stone hall and unleashed a punch that shook the heavens and earth!
Ignoring the attacks of the other two duplicates, he left his entire back exposed to the enemies.
Boom! The moment the fist imprint collided.
His already prepared River of Time surged forth instantly.
The duplicate in front of him dodged aside.
At the same time, two terrifying fists, carrying the image of mountains and rivers breaking, slammed into his body.
Jun Wuxie's body shook violently. He felt all the bones in his body crack instantly. Except for his heart, all his internal organs were torn apart. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his entire body was blasted towards the stone hall by the violent force.
This was precisely why he didn't defend. The moment he landed in front of the stone hall, he rushed towards the Lifebone Flower, plucked it out, and instantly stored it in the Eternal Life Sanctuary.
At the same time, a domineering fist imprint slammed into his back. With a boom, it almost pierced through his entire body. His body crashed into the stone hall, slamming heavily against the wall, then bounced off and fell to the entrance.
At this moment, he saw the duplicate that attacked him suddenly stop.
Moreover, why was there only one duplicate?
He then realized that this duplicate was not one of the three that had fought him before.
The three of them were currently staying in that area, seemingly treating the stone tablet closest to the stone hall as a boundary, not crossing it.
The duplicate in front of him was replicated from the mirror on the back of the stone tablet in front of the stone hall.
He immediately saw the clue!
It turned out that only within the area surrounded by the three stone tablets would one suffer attacks from three duplicates.
Once out of that area, arriving in front of the stone hall, one would only face one duplicate.
And entering the stone hall, even that one duplicate would no longer continue to pursue.
Obviously, this stone hall was a safe zone.
At this moment, those duplicates gradually faded, scattering into energy light rain, and merged into the mirrors of the stone tablets.
At the same time, a large area outside the stone hall, with the stone tablets as the boundary, formed a barrier.
This made his heart sink!
Now, he was truly trapped to death!
This was a barrier that could only be entered but not exited. To get out, one had to break the barrier, and breaking the barrier would inevitably take time.
But facing the attacks of the duplicates, he could barely protect himself. Survival was a problem, so where would he find the time to break the barrier?
"It seems that if I want to leave this place alive, the only way is to kill those duplicates, winning and completing the kill in both one-on-one and one-on-three situations. Otherwise, I will never be able to get out..."
This is a dead end...
Jun Wuxie smiled bitterly. He had to fight himself, and also fight three of himself. Was that possible?
"Even if it's impossible, I have to make it possible! Although they are duplicates, their cultivation, talent growth intensity, and secret techniques are all the same, but their thoughts cannot be the same!"
He thought to himself that perhaps at the moment of replication, his battle consciousness at that time was also replicated, but in the subsequent battles, his battle consciousness was constantly changing.
If he could use this point to a perfect degree, perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope?
It was just that this process might be very long.
He would not be able to get out in a short time. This was destined to be a sustained battle, requiring constant attempts again and again, and it would be a near-death experience.
"Wuxie!"
He heard Mu Yunxi's cry, filled with sobbing. Coming back to his senses, a severe pain struck, and he remembered that his injuries were not light. At this moment, his entire body was soaked in golden blood.
Just as he was about to respond, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Don't come in!"
His mind tensed as he saw Mu Yunxi leaving Lan Lan and rushing towards here regardless of everything.
"Stop!"
He roared hoarsely.
Mu Yunxi's body was too weak. If she rushed in like this, if the stone tablet replicated her peak state, she would be killed instantly!
Swish!
The light of the runes on the stone tablet mirror bloomed.
The moment Mu Yunxi passed through the barrier and entered the stone tablet area, three duplicates of her appeared.
Three icy sword energies instantly slashed at her.
To Jun Wuxie's relief, it wasn't her peak state that was replicated, but her current weak state.
But even so, it was still fraught with danger.
Crack!
The ice wall she condensed shattered. In a flash of lightning, she dodged two sword energies, but was hit by a sword energy from behind.
With a puff, a ghastly blood blossom bloomed. Her entire back was split open, and her body was impacted by this force, crossing the three stone tablet areas and falling in front of the stone hall.
Almost at the same time, a duplicate rushed out from the stone tablet mirror on the stone hall side. Sword energy crisscrossed, snowflakes fluttered in the sky, and the sword energy slashed through the void, instantly closing in.
Jun Wuxie was quick-witted. He had already condensed and prepared a blood energy hand, and pulled her in.
Boom!
The sword energy slashed into the air, leaving a deep sword mark in front of the stone hall.
The ground lit up with rune light, the crack quickly closed, and the sword mark disappeared.
"Wuxie, how are you? Are your injuries serious?"
Mu Yunxi looked at his pale face, flustered, wanting to touch him but not daring to. The wound on her back was cracked, hideous and terrifying, but she seemed to have completely forgotten about it.
"I'm fine."
As soon as Jun Wuxie opened his mouth, a large amount of blood surged into his throat.
He quickly swallowed it forcibly, immediately refining the great medicine spirit liquid, and transmitting the energy of life into Mu Yunxi's body. He couldn't help but angrily say, "Mu Yunxi! Do you know you almost died?"
"I know, but you are here, so I must come, fearless of life and death!"
Her eyes filled with tears, she stubbornly looked at him.
"You..."
Jun Wuxie wanted to blame her, but looking at her eyes, his heart softened. He didn't say anything more, silently healing her.
