"puff!"

All the abnormalities were cut off, but the blood of the true dragon was quite tenacious and difficult to eradicate completely, so Gu Wudi had to cut it off again and again.

"Boom!"

With a dull thud, Gu Wudi fell down. He became skinny again and even weaker.

The invasion of true dragon blood was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He fell again before success. The end of the ancient road was just around the corner, but Gu Wudi had no strength left in his body. He had already used up all his strength.

It’s not that he hasn’t had a moment of sudden enlightenment, but the number of times he can have a moment of sudden enlightenment is limited, it’s not endless.

At this moment, he finally understood why Qingyue's Five Tortoise Shell Hexagram meant "ten deaths and no life".

He is the only one who has made it through the level. If it were someone else, they might not even be able to see the finish line.

In the critical moment, the Chaos Halberd once again protected its master, pulling the exhausted Gu Wudi across the end of the ancient road and successfully landing on the other side.

He fell to the ground, breathing barely a breath, looking at the halberd in his hand that had saved him twice, and something suddenly dawned on him.

This is the fruit of a lifetime of cultivation by the Chaos Immortal Vine. It evolved from a Chaos Gourd and is naturally able to block the secrets of heaven. It is mysterious and unpredictable. After absorbing his blood, it recognized its master. Strictly speaking, it is equivalent to a part of his life.

In other words, all actions of the Chaos Halberd are regarded as the actions of Gu Wudi himself.

Otherwise, a halberd would not be able to change the outcome of the trial.

Gu Wudi guessed that the hexagram presented by the five tortoise shells must not include the Chaos Halberd, which was that ray of vitality.

The halberd not only has the mysterious features mentioned above, but is also a rare growing weapon, and its power will increase as the master's cultivation level increases.

After passing another level, Gu Wudi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

At this moment, a ray of holy light was cast from the mist above the sky and shone on Gu Wudi's body. In just a moment, the blood-forming process in his body was greatly enhanced. What was originally a trickle turned into a gushing spring.

"Crash!"

The sound of blood flowing was loud, his body quickly became fuller, and soon returned to its peak state.

Gu Wudi stared at himself and found that his blood had undergone a transformation compared to before. Many potentials were unlocked, which made his combat power renewed and reached a higher level.

With the previous physical enhancement, he had become accustomed to this and knew that this was the reward for passing the level.

After a short rest, Gu Wudi continued to move forward to the next level.

Flesh, blood, what’s next?

He stepped into the thin mist, and suddenly his vision blurred, and he found himself standing on an unfamiliar land.

The sky was dark, the ground was pitch black, and there were gusts of cold wind, and the bones of unknown creatures were blowing past.

"This is where?"

Gu Wudi was a little confused. How did he end up in a strange world in the blink of an eye? He picked a direction and explored towards it.

In the distance, there was a vast expanse of white snow, as if one had stepped into a freezing winter. But when Gu Wudi got closer, he discovered that this was not ice and snow at all, but millions of bones of various creatures, densely packed together.

And in the center of the bones, there flows a mighty yellow river, carrying death and lifeless energy, leading to an unknown distance.

"Yellow Spring?"

Gu Wudi understood.

The next moment, a small boat made of bones floated over from upstream and stopped in front of Gu Wudi.

The meaning was obvious, to let him sit on it.

After a slight hesitation, Gu Wudi took a step forward and boarded the bone ship.

The magical thing is that as soon as he got on the boat, the docked bone ship set sail again and floated down along the rolling Yellow Spring.

There is no strange scenery on both sides of the river, only endless white bones, as if it were an open-air cemetery where all the souls of heaven and earth are buried.

In the underworld, one can occasionally see one or two corpses dressed in ancient costumes floating on the surface. Some of them died with their eyes wide open, which was creepy, while others had their eyes slightly closed, looking peaceful.

When Gu Wudi tried to sense their breath, he was shocked at once, because these creatures were so powerful and terrifying. They were all immortal creatures in their previous lives, and there was immortal aura in the air that lingered for a long time.

Unfortunately, after death, they all go to the underworld and no one knows where they will go.

I don't know how long it drifted, but it finally reached the end. From Gu Wudi's perspective, the Yellow Spring stopped flowing and disappeared.

He was suspicious. Could it be that he had passed this level just like that? It was too easy. Wasn't it possible?

Just as he was wondering, he heard a rumbling sound in his ears, like a waterfall, mixed with terrible roars, as if countless gods, demons and evil spirits were roaring to the sky.

Wait, waterfall?

Gu Wudi's face darkened. He stood at the end of the bone boat and looked towards the place where the flow was cut off. Sure enough, the Yellow Spring did not disappear, but flowed into a deep abyss.

According to the current situation, he would fall into the abyss along with the bone ship. He wanted to prevent this from happening, but he was in the underworld and had already lost his magic power. He could only watch the bone ship sail towards the huge mouth of the abyss.

"Boom!"

The sky collapsed and the earth turned upside down. Gu Wudi grabbed the bone boat that had turned ninety degrees and fell down along with the immortal corpses.

It was not until this moment that he could see clearly what was happening beneath the abyss.

It was simply a hell, with burning magma and a smell of blood. When evil spirits fell in, they turned into a wisp of green smoke and had no place to be buried. There were also hundreds of millions of gods and demons embedded in the walls of the abyss, making shrill roars. The most terrifying thing was that countless souls and bones were piled up at the bottom, with evil spirits everywhere and dark fog.

Countless bony hands stretched out towards the sky, as if trying to snatch something that fell from the underworld.

Gu Wudi opened his eyes wide and witnessed with his own eyes several immortal corpses being submerged by billions of bony hands and instantly shattered into pieces.

This horrifying scene was shocking. He was also one of the falling people and was about to hit the ground.

Looking at the endless bone hands, even a man with such an iron will as Gu Wudi couldn't help but feel a little scalp-tingling.

"Boom!"

The bone ship fell, and he stepped on it to delay his fate of being decomposed, but this was just a temporary solution.

Soon, the bone ship disintegrated and was torn apart by pairs of hands from hell, and then it was Gu Wudi's turn.

He only felt his body being grabbed by dozens of bony hands, and then torn apart fiercely, blood gushing out, his internal organs spilling out, and being snatched by those bony hands.

"what!"

A terrible pain came over him, and he was dismembered. His head was passed and thrown into a blazing oil pan in the distance. In an instant, his face was disfigured, and hideous bubbles appeared on his skin. He was in great pain.

This kind of pain is heart-wrenching and indescribable.

The most terrifying thing was that even though it had disintegrated, he could still feel the sensations coming from all the scattered remains.

His heart was being torn and devoured by a three-headed hellhound. Its sharp teeth caused him excruciating pain with every bite. His internal organs were being greedily devoured by a group of evil spirits. His flesh and blood splattered all over the ground...

"It's all fake, all illusion."

In the boiling oil pan, Gu Wudi gritted his teeth and spoke, enduring the intense pain, firmly believing that it was just an illusion.

After an unknown amount of time, a sound of breaking was heard, and his body recovered. The abyss of hell, billions of bones, and evil spirits all disappeared completely.

Only then did Gu Wudi realize that he was still standing at the end of the ancient road, without moving an step. What he had just seen and experienced were really just illusions.

However, when he looked inside his body, he saw many traces of tearing and breaking, which were slowly recovering.

"Did it really happen? I was thrown into hell and torn apart by billions of bone hands?"

He wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead and was surprised to find that his own soul was glowing brightly and inexplicably became stronger.

"This level is the Yuanshen level. Did I pass it successfully?"

As he was talking to himself, the mist in front of him dissipated, and a deep path appeared, winding and extending into the unknown distance.

Gu Wudi stepped forward without hesitation. When he reached the end of the path, he was surprised to find that he had arrived outside the ruins. Qingyue and Pang Ren were standing there anxiously waiting for him.

"Is this the end?"

He couldn't quite believe it. Could the Immortal King's ruins be so simple?

But hearing Qingyue and Pang Ren's surprised voices, he had to believe that this was a fact.

The three of them left this area, and in the years that followed, Gu Wudi overcame all the obstacles along the way and successfully became the Immortal King. He also married Qingyue, and he was very proud of himself for having both the great way and the beauty. However, he would occasionally look puzzled, as if he had forgotten something important.

Until one day, he remembered two names, one was Wang Heng and the other was Genjin. They seemed familiar yet unfamiliar. He wanted to find these two people, but there was no news after searching all over the heavens and the worlds.

Finally, Gu Wudi realized that something was wrong. Something in his subconscious mind awakened. He became indifferent and serious, and didn't care about anything.

Even though the stunningly beautiful Qingyue was crying on his chest, or was being tender and affectionate, Gu Wudi remained unmoved.

"So that's it, I was deceived, none of this is true, it's a scam."

As soon as he finished speaking, the world collapsed. The scene changed, and Gu Wudi's mind was in chaos. The memories that had just been restored all became blurred. In this life, he became the heir of a powerful force, full of vigor and vitality, awe-inspiring, and his life was fulfilling.

However, at the most brilliant moment of his life, he once again remembered the two names "Wang Heng" and "Geng Jin".

As expected, he woke up again and broke through the illusion.

However, before he could react, a force brought him into another fantasy world.

In this life, he is still a disciple of a certain force, but he is in the middle, not as good as the best, but better than the worst. He is average and lives a stable life.

He thought that his life would be uneventful, but the sudden appearance of two names disrupted his peaceful life.

……

In this way, Gu Wudi fell into a vicious circle. His memory was always erased and he was thrown into a world, becoming a certain character. Then, when he reached a certain level, he would remember the names of his other two selves in his mind and wake up.

It’s like experiencing reincarnation again and again.

Moreover, if his name is changed to "Wang Heng", then what people will remember is "Gu Wudi" and "Gengjin". In short, he will never be immersed in the world of reincarnation and unable to extricate himself.

When he woke up for the last time, he returned to his original body, opened his eyes, and was still standing at the end of the path.

Looking back on the reincarnation experience of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of lifetimes, Gu Wudi understood the content of the test. This was a test of whether his Taoism was firm and whether he would lose himself in the endless reincarnation.

Unfortunately, this supreme method of splitting one body into three is too beyond the control of heaven, and it can always wake him up and pull him out of the reincarnation world in time.

"Physical body, blood, soul, and Dao heart, these are the four levels, what's next?"

He muttered to himself, and the mist under his feet automatically dissipated. A road filled with the breath of time emerged, with endless flames on both sides.

"Ten thousand evil fires!"

Gu Wudi's heart trembled slightly as he recognized the identity of this flame. It was the famous Ten Thousand Evils Fire, also the immortal flame that made the King of Ten Thousand Evils famous.

At this moment, a road is paved in the sea of ​​fire and extends into the depths, which makes people imagine a lot.

He had a feeling that the test might be over, and the next step was the highlight. At the end of the road, would it be the inheritance left by the King of All Evils? Or would it be an unpredictable crisis?
