Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

There was actually a human figure on the Phoenix Blood Pond below the molten sea. This was something Qi Xiu had not expected. After his dragon eyes swept towards the figure, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

"The living dead?"

The figure sitting cross-legged on the Phoenix Blood Pond had normal aura and vitality. The vast and mighty energy and blood was like the bright sun, distorting the void, and the blazing yang power it exuded was even hotter than the temperature of the Phoenix blood.

But it is such a strong body.

The inside is empty and without any soul.

It's just a complete empty shell!

He moved to the top of the Phoenix Blood Pond, and the scorching yang energy that hit him in the face caused the dark blue dragon scales on Qi Xiu's body to spontaneously appear, resisting the terrifying heat that could burn rivers and boil seas.

As they got closer, Qi Xiu could see the true face of the figure.

This is a middle-aged man who looks to be about 40 or 50 years old, with clear facial features, dignified and heroic, broad physique, tall and strong. Sitting there cross-legged, he looks like a sacred mountain that has stood since ancient times, majestic and towering.

Especially the pair of big hands resting on the knees, with thick joints, revealing a sense of heaviness that holds the world in hand.

"What a terrifying body! This person must be a warrior from the ancient times."

Just as Qi Xiu was looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Hu Tianzong's voice came from the True Dragon Realm.

Although he was in the Dharma Realm, Qi Xiu gave him the authority to observe things in the outside world, so he also saw the man sitting cross-legged on the Phoenix Blood Pond.

"Ancient warrior?" Qi Xiu frowned when he heard the voice.

He had seen this name in some ancient books, but there was no detailed record of it, just a brief mention.

According to those brief records.

Ancient warriors are the oldest group of martial artists, and are also the ancestors of the ultimate martial artists in later generations.

However, after the ancient times, for unknown reasons, the inheritance of the ancient martial arts lineage was broken, and no complete tradition was passed down.

The martial artists of later generations only inherited a small part of it.

“Well, my grandfather once dug up a scroll of calligraphy written by an ancient warrior in a large tomb in the mountains.

Even though countless years have passed, the remaining spirit and charm on the stele still frightened my old man so much that he almost tore down his home.

It is said that this ancient warrior took the path of using his physical body to fight against the heaven and earth.

Just like the Wu Nuo lineage, which has also been cut off, it was a Taoist lineage that was born before the ancient times in order for the human race to survive and reproduce in the harsh world and persecution of all races.

After obtaining the stele, my grandfather studied it for thirty years.

Finally, two words came out from it. ”

"What words?" Qi Xiu asked curiously.

"purely!"

"purely?"

“Well, the training method of ancient warriors is extremely pure!

"Keep your faith in mind all the time, and you will gain unimaginable power." Hu Tianzong said.

"This sounds very similar to the Ba Ti Sect." Qi Xiu spoke slowly.

The same is true for the Ba Ti Sect, which is now known as the number one physical sect in Tianyuan.

Abandon all dharmas and cultivate purely the physical body.

This taboo can only be broken after achieving the status of a True Spirit.

The reward for this hard training was an almost unrivaled physique, at least in his opinion.

Among the powerful families of ancient religions in later generations, none could match him.

“No, although Tyrant Body Sect only cultivates the physical body, they also use external methods to assist in the cultivation.

The ancient warriors relied purely on their own will and belief to transform from mortals into saints, endlessly forging their bodies and tapping into their potential.

It does not rely on the Three Thousand Great Ways at all.

It can be said that every ancient warrior has unparalleled abilities.

The one in front of you should be the body of an ancient warrior.

And judging from his vigorous Qi and blood, he should be a martial saint who can fight with Yuan Shen in physical combat!"

"Martial Saint?"

Hearing this, Qi Xiu couldn't help but move his eyes slightly.

Ancient warriors did not cultivate the great way of heaven and earth, so they could not achieve the status of primordial spirit.

But because of its unparalleled combat power, it also has the combat power of hand-to-hand combat.

The ancient martial artist who has cultivated to this level is called a Martial Saint.

“In that case, this should be the remains of a martial saint.

It seems that he also entered this phoenix nest by mistake, and eventually died in the molten sea of ​​phoenix blood.

The body that should have disintegrated did not dissipate because of the infinite vitality of the Phoenix Blood Pond. Instead, it remained alive and eventually became like this."

With a slight movement in his heart, Qi Xiu stretched out his hand and touched the remains of the Martial Saint.

But just when he approached within ten feet of the remains, the remains of the Martial Saint, which had its eyes closed, suddenly opened their eyes, and a terrifying power that could suppress the heaven and earth and collapse the sea of ​​stars in the universe suddenly erupted. Layers of overwhelming murderous aura made the Phoenix Blood Pond, which was originally like purgatory, suddenly become like an eternal cold cave.

This extremely domineering and ferocious power crushed over, as if countless killing calamities were descending. All the laws of the heavens were trembling and wailing. Qi Xiu even felt his scalp tingling. The dragon scales on his body condensed to the extreme, making a crackling sound as if they were about to disintegrate.

Without any suspicion, Qi Xiu retreated instantly!

As he moved away, the eyes of the Martial Saint's remains closed again, and the might that seemed to destroy the heavens suddenly retracted into its body.

“Good fellow, you are indeed a being that can fight with the spirit in hand-to-hand combat.

Even if one has been dead for a long time, the soul will be scattered.

Just the remaining physical instincts can unleash such terrifying power.

It is hard to imagine how terrifying he would be if he were alive." Although hiding in the True Dragon Realm, Hu Tianzong also felt the terrifying power of that unparalleled fierceness.

And after witnessing the power of the remains of the Martial Saint.

A question flashed through Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong's minds at the same time.

Why would such an existence fall in this Phoenix Nest?

The divine prohibitions of the Phoenix Nest can suppress three thousand great ways of practice.

But ancient warriors do not practice the great way of heaven and earth, so the divine prohibitions of the great way are just air to them and are completely useless.

So who killed him and placed his body in this Phoenix Blood Pond?

"Master, I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

After a brief silence, Hu Tianzong suddenly spoke.

"what idea?"

“Although this martial saint is dead, his remains have been nourished by the phoenix blood in this phoenix blood pool. None of his blood and energy have been lost, and his pure martial arts will still exists.

If we can take it away, we will have another way to control Yue Hai Zhen Zun."

Hu Tianzong's words made Qi Xiu slightly stunned. He had heard that the young master of the Hu family always did things unreasonably.

But I didn't expect him to be so bold.

He had just witnessed the horror of the remains of the Martial Saint, and now he was even thinking of taking it away as a means to deal with Yuehai Zhenzun, the Yuanshen Zhenzun.

“It’s a good idea, but you also said that the martial arts will of this martial saint’s remains is still there.

As long as someone gets within ten feet of him, this relic will immediately revive, and it can probably kill you or me with just a wave of its hand.

How can we take it away?"

Qi Xiu, the tyrannical remnant of the Martial Saint, naturally also saw it.

Although this Martial Saint is dead, his physical body is still at its peak due to the nourishment of the Phoenix Blood Pond.

Once revived, nothing can stop it!

Not to mention him and Hu Tianzong.

Even if two Yuanshen Zhenzun were here, they would not dare to touch its edge lightly, otherwise they would surely bring about a fatal disaster.

"That's true..." After hearing what Qi Xiu said, Hu Tianzong also felt a little bored.

After all, this remains of the Martial Saint is simply a superb killing weapon. If you can take it away, you only need to release it when you encounter a strong enemy.

Even the True Spirit of Yuanshen would have to turn around and leave, this is definitely a powerful killer.

How could Hu Tianzong not feel sad and heartbroken when he had such a huge treasure in front of him but couldn't take it away?

"Although I cannot take this Martial Saint's remains away, I may be able to use it to find a way out for you and me when the time is right."

Looking at the remains of the Martial Saint in front of him with scrutiny, Qi Xiu's eyes flickered as he planned silently.

Ever since he achieved the status of Taoist Master, his cultivation base has skyrocketed, his skills have become extraordinary, and he has been forcefully crushing and sweeping in all directions all the way, far from being as clever as before in setting up strategies and trapping and killing enemies.

Now, facing Yuehai Zhenzun and the Shangdu Protector, he had no choice but to go back to his old skills, attacking and defending.

Make another plan for yourself.

After staring at the remains of the Martial Saint for a while, Qi Xiu already had an idea of ​​the whole picture in his mind, and he immediately set off towards the Phoenix Blood Pond.

Although the remains of the Martial Saint are hanging above the Phoenix Blood Pond.

But as long as you don't get within ten feet of it, it won't revive.

Therefore, as long as you keep a sufficient distance, you can successfully enter the Phoenix Blood Pond.

Avoiding the revival range of the Martial Saint's remains, Qi Xiu slowly came to the Phoenix Blood Pool mentioned by the Peacock Great Sage.

This is a deep pool of red gold that looks like a feather when viewed from the sky.

Standing at the edge of the pond and looking inside, it was pitch black and impossible to see clearly.

Gazing at the deep pool, Qi Xiu's mind moved slightly, and he took out the eighteen precious leaves of the Wutong tree that he had collected in the molten sea before. He opened his mouth and spit out a stream of dragon essence on it, and the precious leaves of the sacred tree were immediately sacrificed.

The marks of the divine bird imprinted on the eighteen precious leaves shine brightly, and faintly, one seems to hear the long chirping sounds coming from the ancient times.

Under the magical influence of the precious leaves of the paulownia tree.

In the originally dark and dark depths of the Phoenix Blood Pond, dazzling rays of red-gold light suddenly lit up.

Strands of phoenix blood, like meteors, flowed upward from the bottom of the deep pool like swallows returning to their nests, rushing towards the precious leaf.

Really useful!

Seeing that the precious leaves of the Wutong tree attracted the phoenix blood in the Phoenix Blood Pond, Qi Xiu made several hand seals and the eighteen precious leaves immediately turned into a precious bowl, which contained all the attracted phoenix blood.

In a short while, the bowl was filled.

Raising his hand, he summoned the treasure bowl transformed from the precious phoenix leaf. Qi Xiu opened his mouth slightly, and a red-gold halo flashed in his stomach. The phoenix blood that he had previously swallowed and stored in his stomach was also spit out and merged into the large ball of phoenix blood.

Phoenix blood is full of vitality and inexhaustible. If an ordinary cultivator can refine it and integrate it into his own blood, he can instantly transform into a miraculous physique that is no less than any other precious body.

Unfortunately, my dragon blood is too overbearing and cannot be mixed with phoenix blood.

If it remains in the body for a long time, it will cause the dragon blood to become restless.

Looking at the endless colorful clouds blooming in the treasure bowl and the phoenix blood with unparalleled charm, Qi Xiu secretly felt that it was a pity.

The phoenix is ​​a being that can be compared to the dragon princes and dragon dukes among the true dragon clan.

It is much stronger than ordinary real dragons.

The strongest among their clan can even stand shoulder to shoulder with the Dragon King, which shows how powerful their bloodline is.

But he has already become a true dragon.

The dragon and the phoenix cannot coexist as one, so the phoenix blood can only be expelled.

After obtaining enough phoenix blood, Qi Xiu was not in a hurry to leave. The Peacock Great Sage had said before he entered the molten sea.

There are hundreds of phoenix blood here.

There are three more phoenix feathers, and if possible, he would like to take them away as well.

Holding the precious bowl made from the precious leaves of the phoenix tree, Qi Xiu continued to activate the magical power within it, trying to attract the three phoenix feathers.

But as time went on, no trace of the Phoenix Feather appeared.

After scanning the entire Phoenix Blood Pond several times with his dragon eyes, Qi Xiu frowned slightly.

Could it be that the Phoenix Feather is not in the Phoenix Blood Pond?

The molten sea was vast and boundless. Since it could hide these eighteen precious Wutong leaves, perhaps the three phoenix feathers were also hidden in it, but they had not been discovered.

After stimulating the magical power of Wutong for a while, Qi Xiu still had no results and had to put away the Phoenix Blood.

Master Yuehai and Protector Song were also outside collecting phoenix blood. They had treasure bowls made of the sacred Wutong tree in their hands, and they collected phoenix blood quite quickly.

If he were allowed to collect enough phoenix blood first, break into the phoenix nest and take away the inheritance.

Then all their arrangements and plans would fail in an instant.

Not only will you not be able to return to the afterlife, but you might even lose your life here.

Returning from the molten sea along the same route, the moment Qi Xiu broke through the molten sea and returned to the crater, the Peacock Monkey King and the Golden-Winged Roc who had been waiting there also hurried to meet him.

"how?"

Seeing Qi Xiu return safely, Peacock's eyes moved slightly and he asked in a low voice.

“The process was a bit tortuous, but fortunately it went smoothly.”

After taking a quick glance at the guardian of the Phoenix Nest, Qi Xiu took out a fist-sized ball of red-gold color, round and translucent, shaped like amber, but inside it was hidden a myriad of auspicious phoenix blood.

The Wutong Leaf was a treasure he had obtained by chance. If the situation changed in the future, he could keep it as a trump card.

So he didn't intend to tell the Peacock Sage.

What's more, the Peacock Sage also had reservations about him.

Seeing that Qi Xiu had successfully obtained enough phoenix blood, the Peacock Great Sage also revealed a smile and reached out to take the gem made of phoenix blood.

"Hey, Great Sage, what do you mean?" Qi Xiu turned his wrist and collected the phoenix blood. His face was calm and he asked Peacock in a puzzled tone.

“I don’t understand the pass to enter the Phoenix Nest.

Even if you have phoenix blood, you can't enter the phoenix nest.

give me. "

Looking down at Qi Xiu from above, the Peacock God's tone contained a command that could not be questioned.

At this time, the Golden-Winged Roc, who had been silent all this time, also stood beside the Peacock. Its pair of golden eyes shone with ferocity and violent aura.

Two top-notch ferocious birds stood side by side.

The ferocious power originating from the ancient times raged, causing chaos and instability in the surrounding void.

Qi Xiu, who was standing in the center of the storm, raised his dragon eyes. He heard a roar of thunder and a dazzling lightning flashed by. Then, a shadow of a green dragon, which was hovering in the sky, domineering and majestic, watching over all living things in the world, suddenly appeared behind him.

Qi Xiu showed his dragon appearance, stood with his hands behind his back, faced the two ancient fierce birds, and spoke calmly:

"Why, you two want to get rid of the donkey after it has done its work?"
