Journey to the West from My Backyard

Chapter 165 The Remnant Soul of Styx

With the death of Patriarch Styx, the remaining members of the Mara Sect were almost completely destroyed under the siege of Buddhism.Most of the Shura people who were once prosperous also died, and the only survivors in the end were ordinary people who were sealed in the depths of the sea of ​​blood.Although this branch of Shura has not completely died, they have also lost the inheritance of supernatural powers.

Even though the bodies of these Shura clansmen are also endowed with extraordinary talents, they are just that.Seeing this, Li Taibai couldn't help but sigh.You must know that Li Taibai's master is Di Jiang, and the witch clan he once led is almost stronger than the demon clan.The Wu Clan occupied the entire Great Desolate Land. At that time, except for the Yao Clan, no one dared to provoke the Wu Clan.

But because of this, it also makes the people of the Wu clan proud.They vainly wanted to compete with the monster clan for the real world, and the protagonist and the last two clans completely fell.There were many heroes in the prehistoric period, but in the end they all fell into this situation, how can we not make people feel emotional.

After taking a panoramic view of the murals in the main hall, Li Taibai continued to walk forward. The space in the main hall is huge, almost bigger than the Lingxiao Palace that Li Taibai once visited.The Lingxiao Palace is the place of the Great Heavenly Venerable, full of immortal energy, and has endless majesty.But the temple in front of him feels only weird and terrifying.

Even though Li Taibai didn't see anyone, his scalp felt cold.Li Taibai hadn't experienced this feeling of fear for a long time.He practiced Tiangang 36 changes, far from being able to make him feel this way, there must be great danger ahead.If it was an ordinary time, Li Taibai would have already retreated if he felt this kind of omen.

But now that he has come to this place, if Li Taibai retreats here, then it would be too useless.However, Li Taibai's soul and body are very strong now. In the words of Empress Houtu, even if she wants to die, it is not easy.Moreover, Empress Houtu's calculation ability is far superior to others, so he thinks Li Taibai is fine.Moreover, he wanted Li Taibai to go to the sea of ​​blood to try his luck, so Li Taibai himself had no reason to retreat.

However, people feel a little relieved that, walking forward, there seems to be a little light in the originally extremely dark hall.Although the light is not obvious, it also makes people feel at ease.Walking to the front of the temple, I saw a huge statue in front of Li Taibai.This statue is a middle-aged man, covered in black.

The attire of this person is quite similar to the Heavenly Demon that Li Taibai met in the sea of ​​blood before, but the person in front of him is even more exaggerated.Moreover, this man held two swords in his hand, one of which was quite similar to Li Taibai's Asura Sword, while the other seemed to have a wider blade, but the aura was more bloody.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Taibai guessed in his heart that this might be the Patriarch Minghe.After all, the sword in his hand is obviously the Asura Sword, and there is only one owner of the Asura Sword, and that is the statue in front of him.Facing the statue in front of him, Li Taibai didn't pay much attention to it at first, but suddenly, Li Taibai suddenly felt a bloody light flashing from the statue's eyes, like a person blinking.

Li Taibai couldn't help rubbing his eyes at this moment.

"What's going on? Could it be that I was dazzled just now, otherwise why would those statues have so many reactions?"

Thinking of this, Li Taibai still bowed down to the statue in front of him.

"The younger generation is Li Taibai, Marshal of the Canopy. Today, he came to beg the old senior only to obtain the heart of the sea of ​​blood. If I disturb the rest of the senior, I hope the senior will forgive me a lot."

As he spoke, Li Taibai bowed three times to the statue in front of him.To Li Taibai's relief, the statue in front of him didn't respond at all.But at this moment, a small sound suddenly came from the palace.

"Marshal Tianpeng, Li Taibai."

"Who is it? Who is calling me."

Hearing this intermittent voice, Li Taibai shuddered and said in fear.

However, there was no sound in the palace at this time.

"This place is really evil. Find a way to quickly find the heart of the sea of ​​​​blood and leave quickly. When it comes to these ancient prehistoric characters, none of them are simple. Maybe I will encounter some strange things?"

Li Taibai thought in his heart.

At this moment, Li Taibai suddenly saw a statue next to the statue of the Patriarch Minghe, and that statue was a child.The child's hand is dragging a box, which is tightly closed.Although the child is a statue, the box is obviously not, and the whole box is locked tightly, as if there is something hidden inside.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Taibai felt strange.

"There is a box on top of such a weird secret room. There may be something shady hidden in it. Could it be the heart of the sea of ​​blood?"

Thinking so, Li Taibai walked in front of the boy statue.

"Marshal Canopy."

At this moment, Li Taibai seemed to vaguely hear a voice shouting again.The first time may be an illusion, but the second time Li Taibai knew in his heart that there was indeed a ghost here.

"Who is it? Don't play tricks there, come out if you have the guts."

"Marshal Tianpeng, I am right in front of you."

At this time, Li Taibai seemed to have realized something, and the voice seemed to come from inside the box.

"Who are you? Why are you in this temple?"

Li Taibai asked about the box.

"I said that I am Patriarch Styx, do you believe me?"

There were intermittent sounds from the box in front of him.

"This is the ancient temple, the residence of Styx Lord. If you say you are Styx Lord, I will believe it."

At this time, Li Taibai was somewhat suspicious, but in order to win the trust of the person in front of you, you still want to gain his favor, so you even claimed that you believed it.

"Then are you willing to let me out? Young man, I will give you a satisfactory reward, how about it?"

The voice inside the box came out intermittently again.

"Senior, this junior also wants to help senior get out of trouble, but senior, you are inside this box. The lock inside this box is locked tightly, and I can't open the lock, after all, I don't have a key either."

Li Taibai said to Patriarch Minghe in embarrassment.

Of course, Li Taibai's words were false, because although he didn't have the key, his Qibaoqin gold and palladium was refined from the Nine Heavens Profound Ice.The lock on the box is naturally not difficult to open.But Li Taibai also knew that the Patriarch Styx was not a good man or a believer.

If I rescued him hastily, this guy might not have a good impression of me because I helped him, and it is not impossible to repay him with revenge.So Li Taibai was very jealous of him and didn't intend to let him out.

"Boy, don't play charades with me. I know that the weapon in your hand can completely destroy this box. And I also know that my Shura sword has already recognized you as master. You came to the ancient temple this time to get blood. The heart of the sea should repair my innate spirit treasure, after all, my two swords have been damaged after my death."

The voice in the box came out and said to Li Taibai.

Hearing that Old Ancestor Styx had figured out his thoughts like this, Li Taibai seemed a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Senior, since you have already said so. The wise people don't speak dark words. The younger generation took possession of the senior's sword unintentionally. When you crossed the sea of ​​blood that day, your sword turned into a human form and attacked me. This junior also wanted to protect yourself. Only then did I subdue this precious sword. Now that it has recognized its owner, this junior is worried that you will take your anger out on me, so I dare not let you out, I hope you will forgive me."

Li Taibai said to the inside of the box.

"Li Taibai, my patriarch Styx is a well-known figure in the world. I will not break any promises I make to you, a junior. If you let me out, I can give you the heart of the sea of ​​blood. And I can Give you some of my strength."

"The one sealed in this box is not the real me, but only a part of my remnant soul. After all, I am a person who has appeared since the birth of the Emperor of Heaven. It is impossible to completely destroy me. Even if he is a saint, he is just Split my soul."

I have been suppressed here for tens of thousands of years, and I am tortured by the three kinds of calamities of heaven, wind, fire, and thunder every day.You save me, you are my benefactor.And let me tell you, even if you get the Heart of the Sea of ​​Blood, it is still impossible for the Asura Sword to be repaired.Because there is my spirit on the Shura sword, even if you have obtained it now, and it already recognizes you as master, as long as I don't want to, that sword will not be able to completely obey your orders. "

"After you saved me, I can completely cut off the fetters between me and it. If you don't believe me, I can swear to the sky now. I swear to the Lord God Pangu. If my ancestor Styx breaks the oath, let My remnant soul was completely reduced to ashes. I don't know what you want?"

Patriarch Minghe said to Li Taibai.

After listening to Patriarch Styx's words, Li Taibai hesitated at this moment.He could feel that what Old Ancestor Styx He said to him was true, because when using the Shura Sword, Li Taibai could feel that the Shura Sword still vaguely rejected him more or less.Li Taibai didn't understand the reason before, but after listening to the words of the ancestor Minghe today, he finally understood that it was not because of his own problems.

"Okay, then senior, you swear that you will not use force to snatch the sword after you come out, and this junior will let you out."

Li Taibai said to Patriarch Minghe.

After listening to Li Bai's words, Patriarch Styx indeed swore the oath as promised.After listening to Patriarch Minghe's words, Li Taibai walked to the box.Holding the nine-tooth rake tightly, he slashed hard at the lock of the box.The big lock of the box was directly smashed, Li Taibai opened the box held by the boy, and saw a flash of light in front of his eyes.Li Taibai was stunned by the light and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, Li Taibai felt a sharp pain in his mind.In an instant, the brain cells in the entire brain are constantly exploding.He covered his head, and started to roll in pain on the ground, and continued to let out heart-piercing howls.

"Old Ancestor Minghe, you are also a big shot in the prehistoric years, and it doesn't count if you talk to me as a junior, you should die."

Li Taibai cursed at this time.

But then Li Taibai's mouth spit out strange words again, and the voice was completely different from the voice just now.

"Marshal Tianpeng, how could I have lied to you? This is also my reward for coming out to you. As long as you accept me, the two of us will become one. At that time, Xiu said that it is the Shura sword, even if it is all my strength. It's all yours. Even a saint wouldn't ignore my strength at its peak, as long as the two of us are together, we will be invincible in the world."

Another voice began to dissuade.

"Old Ancestor Minghe, you shameless old man. You just want to say this kind of words to attract my attention and distract me. How dare you come to occupy my body? Let's see if I don't completely wipe out your remnant soul today! disperse."

Li Taibai said viciously to Patriarch Minghe.

"Haha, don't be stubborn, junior. Even if I'm just a remnant soul now, I'm far from being able to compare with a person of your kind. If you know the truth, quickly merge with my soul, and I will let you Be the real master of the world. Otherwise, today you will end up with the death of your soul.

said another vicious voice.

Although Li Taibai's head was in severe pain at this time, he also knew that if he didn't struggle now, he might really be robbed of his body by Patriarch Styx.Then Li Taibai got up and began to use his own exercises, but all of them had no effect.Because when Li Taibai just gathered his true spirit, his power would be dispelled by another remnant soul.
