Chapter 246 Test

"Boom!" The sledgehammer in Chen Mo's hand suddenly fell down, and a shock force of 1.2 million kilograms erupted one after another.

Together with the surrounding air, it resonated and made bursts of crisp sounds.

"Bang!" An extremely dull voice came, and the bull's head was dented by Chen Mo's hammer.

"Mou!" Unexpectedly, it was not completely dead yet, and it let out a painful cry.

The bull's fur turned blood red in an instant, and its body was about to burn in an instant.

Infinite firelight rose up and illuminated the entire underground cave.

Chen Mo took a step back and looked at the flames on his hands.

This flame is extremely special and does not harm the physical body. Its fuel is an inexplicable power of rules within oneself.

Chen Mo sensed carefully and immediately understood that this was the red lotus karma fire.

Anyone with karma who comes into contact will be burned by fire.

The so-called karma can be divided into two types.

One is the karma of heaven and earth. Those who have this karma have probably disrupted the normal operation of heaven and earth, or caused extremely serious damage to heaven and earth.

For example, destroying the earth's veins and destroying the boundary wall between heaven and earth. Such people are often not tolerated by heaven and earth and must be punished by heaven.

People with heaven and earth karma are very rare, because most people cannot deal with the targeting and malice of an entire world, unless their strength is stronger than that world.

In addition to the karma of heaven and earth, there is another kind of karma which is the karma of living beings.

The karma of living beings is gained from killing living beings, but the living beings here must have complete spiritual intelligence.

Ordinary livestock are definitely not counted. Only humans, demons with spiritual intelligence, or other creatures raised by nature are included in this category.

The reason why this is so is because the karma of living beings is created by the cooperation of many powerful people.

When a warrior reaches the realm of mastery, it itself symbolizes part of the avenue of heaven and earth, and when he reaches a further level of cultivation, he can affect the avenue of heaven and earth.

He even completely imprinted the way he cultivated into the world.

In ancient times, there was no karma of living beings at all.

There are many evil cultivators who practice wantonly killing creatures, and there are even more tyrannical demon clans who wantonly devour their own clansmen in order to refine their own bloodline.

The supreme beings of ancient heaven and earth naturally do not want to see this happen.

Because whether it is evil cultivators, demon cultivators, or the killings of those monsters, they are destroying the order of the entire world.

And if you manage them one by one, it would be a waste of time and manpower.

Therefore, several top experts joined forces to preserve the law of karma of living beings in heaven and earth.

From now on, any living being who slaughters the common people must have their karma taken with them.

If the karma is accumulated to the extreme, the fire of karma will spontaneously rise and burn.

Since then, although there is still no peace between heaven and earth, the mass killings have become much less frequent.

The red lotus karma fire also began to exist at that moment, and later warriors would practice this fire to fight against the enemy.

Of course, this fire has an obvious shortcoming, that is, some people have no karma.

So the Red Lotus Karmic Fire can be said to have no harm at all.

And if one's own karma is accidentally contaminated, then it will harm itself.

Therefore, those who practice this method often come from the righteous path, and must often deal with the evil path before they can practice.

Chen Mo has killed many people or other living beings since he started practicing, so he naturally has accumulated karma on his body.

Although he has many merits and virtues, the two cannot offset them at all.

Being blessed by the merits of heaven and earth can make everything go smoothly for him.

But the merits of heaven and earth cannot affect the karma of living beings at all, and naturally it is impossible to have any effect on the red lotus karma fire.

However, Chen Mo looked very calm. He did kill a lot of people, but not many.

Now there is indeed red lotus karma fire rising up in the body, burning the three treasures of one's own essence, energy and spirit from the inside out.

Although the fire was strong, there was no follow-up fuel. However, it was burned down instantly, and Chen Mo was not affected much.

With his strength, this level of Red Lotus Karmic Fire is really too little.

The red lotus karma fire burned and passed by, and Chen Mo's karma naturally dissipated.

This means that he has survived this disaster, and even if the fire of karma burns again in a short period of time, it will not be able to cause harm to him.

But if he accumulates karma again after a period of time, the power of the karma fire next time will be much stronger than this time.

It is precisely because of this that no warrior in the demonic path practices the method of red lotus karma fire, burning themselves every once in a while to burn away their own karma.

"Boom!" Chen Mo smashed his hammers down again, his karma had been burned away by the fire of karma, and this bull had no other means to hurt himself.

"Mou!" But this time the barbarian bull saw his attack and did not dodge. Instead, he looked up to the sky and roared.

Before the giant hammer in Chen Mo's hand fell, the figure of the bull suddenly disappeared.

But in an instant, it transformed into a strange compass.

The compass has a simple style and is bronze in color. The heavenly stems and earthly branches are engraved on the front, while a few lines of small characters can be faintly seen on the back.

It's just that it's too vague to identify what the word is.

The characters that appear on the compass are all divine characters of heaven and earth. These few lines of small characters are blurred, which means that in the endless storm of returning to ruins, the magical function of the compass has gradually disappeared.

The most obvious thing exposed is these words that are beginning to blur.

Chen Mo grabbed the compass and stretched out his hand to look at the other side.

The Lord of the Blood Sea was fighting with that strange bird, but this bird was indeed strange and not willing to fight. It flapped its wings and moved extremely fast.

"Gagaga..." The strange bird chirped one after another, its wings vibrating continuously, and its body moved around.

It can be seen that this strange bird looks extremely anxious as it is being constantly hunted.

The strength that the Lord of the Blood Sea can unleash in the acquired realm is definitely not weak, and is better than countless warriors in the same realm.

However, facing this strange bird at this time, he was still helpless.

She attacked one after another, but the strange bird managed to dodge every time.

"Rumble!" A sound suddenly came from the deepest part of the cave.

A narrow mountain path opened. Seeing this, the strange bird hurriedly flew to the mountain path and shouted.

It no longer dodges, but stands by the mountain road and waves its wings, as if signaling Chen Mo and the Lord of the Blood Sea to approach it.

"It seems to be guiding us?" The Lord of the Blood Sea stared closely at the strange bird, walked to Chen Mo and whispered.

"Gaga." The strange bird seemed to understand the words of the Lord of the Blood Sea and hurriedly flapped its wings in response.

"Let's follow up first and take a look. You walk behind me." Chen Mo warned softly, handing over the compass he had obtained earlier to the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood.

"Look, is this the treasure you want to get?"

The Lord of the Blood Sea took it and looked at it carefully, then handed it back to Chen Mo and said, "Not this one. According to my estimation, those two treasures should be in the innermost layer of the secret vault. They can only be seen after passing the test."

What she said was actually just a rough inference that the secret place here was suppressed from the fourth floor of Guixu all the way to the second floor of Guixu.

Many changes are bound to occur, many of which may be completely unforeseen.

Chen Mo accepted the compass and said nothing more. He came to stand next to the strange bird with great caution.

Seeing the two of them coming, the strange bird hurriedly walked into the mountain path.

There is still no change in this mountain road, but it goes deeper underground.

The two finally came to an underground cave, which seemed to be no different from before.

Chen Mo was always carefully observing his surroundings to ensure that no strange creatures appeared.

Everything is normal here, normal and even a little abnormal.

No matter how he looked, Chen Mo didn't sense any danger.

However, the next moment, a dull sound sounded, and the mountain path they were walking on was completely closed, leaving no room left.

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible force struck, and Chen Mo felt that the life force in his body was rapidly draining, and his physical body began to decay.

Fortunately, after practicing countless times, his physical strength has already reached an unimaginable level.

Thousands of divine lights within the body are blazing, and endless brilliance flows, resisting the power of the outside world.

The surging blood is like a mighty river, constantly surging in the body.

The blood energy rises three feet away from the body, like a wolf smoke.

However, this only weakened the power, and Chen Mo felt that his life essence was still passing away.

Life essence is the foundation of a warrior. Once it is lost, it means the beginning of aging.

Logically speaking, whether it is Chen Mo or the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood.

With the two people's cultivation and life essence, it is impossible for them to be lost under normal circumstances.

Although they cannot live forever, they will exist between heaven and earth forever.

But with Chen Mo's current physical cultivation, his lifespan will definitely be far longer than that of a Wanxiang warrior of the same realm, and it is not difficult to live for tens of thousands of years.

Not to mention the Lord of the Blood Sea, as a creature transformed from the Blood Sea, her lifespan will only be longer than Chen Mo.

However, at this time, there is a force that is constantly robbing their life essence at an extremely fast speed.

Chen Mo's physical body became a saint and now contains thousands of laws, which are enough to withstand this power.

The Lord of the Blood Sea was far from able to do so. Just by breathing, Chen Mo could feel her vitality slipping away.

And there were signs that this speed was getting faster and faster. Chen Mo carefully looked around, trying to find a way to break the situation.

If that didn't happen, he and the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood would have no choice but to retreat temporarily.

He can use the Gate of Return to the Ruins to teleport himself, and of course he can also bring the Lord of the Blood Sea with him.

At this moment, a bright light appeared in the other half of the underground cave. The light was weak at first, and then became extremely strong.

The entire cave was instantly dyed white.

Chen Mo looked carefully and saw that the luminous object was a jade slip the size of a palm.

There are three characters engraved on the jade slip, but they are also unclear.

The Lord of the Blood Sea's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "This is one of the two treasures I am looking for. It is the judge's record used by the judges of the ancient underworld. All the intelligent creatures in a world have done good and evil things. Everything is recorded in it.

As long as you obtain it, this test should be over. "

Chen Mo frowned slightly and looked first at the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood, then at the Judge's Record.

"I can go get this thing, but can you hold on now?"

He could feel that the life essence in the main body of the Blood Sea was passing away at a faster speed. Even if she had achieved the transformation of the Blood Sea, she might not be able to last long if she continued like this.

"It doesn't matter, you just have to go boldly." The Lord of the Blood Sea looked calm and not at all panicked.

Because she believed that the test her sister set here was just to test the younger generations.

After all, if you don't master the secret method, you won't even be qualified to step into the secret place here.

The worst-case scenario is simply a failure in the assessment, which should not harm lives.

Therefore, these things may change in Guixu, but now that the treasure is right in front of her, she is absolutely unwilling to let it go so easily.

Chen Mo didn't hesitate when he saw this, he took big steps and continued to approach the judge's record.

The Lord of the Blood Sea stayed in place at this time, trying to slow down the loss of his life essence.

Chen Mo is getting closer to the judge's record, and he can feel that the loss of his life essence is also accelerating.

At first, he was strong enough to resist, but as he got closer to the Judge's Record, his power became stronger and stronger.

Even he was losing his life essence.

It's a good thing that the Lord of the Blood Sea didn't take it himself, otherwise her strength might not be close to that of Judge Lu.

Chen Mo stepped in front of the judge's record. At this time, strands of blood and bits of golden light were constantly emanating from his body.

This was a sign that his life essence was dissipating. Chen Mo could even feel that his physical body was slowly declining.

However, this process is extremely slow.

However, the situation of the Lord of the Blood Sea is far inferior to him. Although her body is stronger than those of the same realm, she has no inherent laws and no signs of physical sanctification.

Nowadays, we are faced with the situation where the life essence has been taken away. Of course, as much as possible has been taken away.

Her physical body has shown obvious signs of deterioration, and even her face has gradually become older.

Chen Mo stretched out his hand to hold the judge's record tightly. The jade slip was only an inch wide, about six or seven inches long.

The whole body is made of special material and feels quite cool when held in the hand.

As he held the Judge's Record tightly, all the light in the cave at the bottom of the mountain disappeared instantly.

Chen Mo saw the endless stream of life essence pouring out of the Judge's Record.

Much of this power originally belonged to him, and now it merges with himself again, replenishing the life essence he had previously consumed.

And more life essence went to find the Lord of the Blood Sea.

This power comes from both of them, so there is no difficulty in absorbing it.

At this time, Chen Mo still felt that his life essence had been refined and became purer.

Absorbing these life essences can further improve his strength. Of course, the improvement is not a lot, just ten thousand kilograms of strength.

Apart from the life essence, Chen Mo also understood the purpose of this assessment.

This assessment is to test the warrior's faith and courage, to see if the warrior has the courage to continue moving forward despite the constant loss of life essence and the decline of the physical body.

Under normal circumstances, the life force of any warrior who can get close to this judge has been exhausted to the limit.

His internal organs, muscles, bones, blood, and energy were all on the verge of collapse, and he was even very likely to die suddenly in the next moment.

It depends on whether the warrior will hesitate in this situation. If there is even half a moment of hesitation, the assessment will inevitably fail.

Of course, life will not be in danger after failure, and the judge will still return the previously consumed life essence to the warrior.

If the normal assessment fails completely, the secret place here will be closed, waiting for the next warrior to open it.

It's just that this secret place, or rather Empress Fengdu who originally arranged the test, didn't expect it.

A freak like Chen Mo will come to accept the test. He already has some visions of physical sanctification, which is enough to resist these forces.

But maybe Empress Fengdu has also considered this. If such a warrior comes to take the test, then of course he will be qualified to pass this test based on his talent.

Chen Mo took the judge's record and immediately handed it over to the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood.

"Gaga!" The colorful strange bird screamed excitedly again and kept flapping its wings.

Although it was here before, it was not affected in any way.

Because it is not a living thing at all and has no life essence at all, so how can it be affected.

"Gagaga!" The colorful strange bird started running again, and walked to a newly opened mountain road and shouted loudly, urging Chen Mo and the Lord of the Blood Sea to follow it.
