Chapter 581 Shackles
Deep in the long river of time and space, there is an empty and silent area.
Even the omnipresent ripples were completely repelled.
Only the breath of annihilation overflowed from the vortex, filling all the space here.
Beiqian was dressed in black and stood alone in front of the vortex, his whole body flickering and looming.
He was silent for a long time, and slowly raised his hand to form a seal.
In an instant, the power of annihilation surged, like a surging wave surging from the vortex, sweeping and covering the entire void space.
In this case, the originally hidden foreign demons had to show their bodies and use their own means to eliminate the erosion of the increasingly violent power of annihilation.
Wei Tao was in a far corner, silently observing and examining for a long time, and an increasingly strong impulse rose in his heart, driving him to enter it regardless of anything.
Because as time went on, he felt more and more affinity and attraction from the vortex.
It was like there were unparalleled treasures hidden inside, and it was like a blood-related relative, waiting for him to find and discover.
Moreover, after in-depth and meticulous observation, more than one deduction and calculation, he was fully capable of facing the possible dangers in the vortex, at least he could keep his life safe.
But just before he was about to approach, he stopped because of an inexplicable throbbing.
The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit.
He found that at this moment, he seemed to have made a similar mistake.
He was moved by the possible benefits in the vortex, but inexplicably forgot the truth that people die for money and birds die for food.
Wei Tao took a deep breath, calmed down his surging thoughts, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He suddenly found that when facing this vortex, his thoughts seemed to be imperceptibly affected, which was more hidden than subtle influence, but more effective.
In other words, this vortex seemed to have life and intelligence. Since he came to the void space, it has been conveying information to him that he must enter it in an extremely secret way.
Wei Tao looked into the depths of the vortex, but he could not see the end anyway.
It seemed that even the true spirit and soul would fall into it forever, and it was impossible to see where the vortex led to.
It was like staring into the endless abyss, and at the same time being silently stared at by the abyss.
If he had not suddenly come to his senses at the last moment, he might not have been able to detect this interference until now, and rashly entered this vortex.
Since entering the long river of time and space, although it has been a long time, this kind of throbbing feeling that makes his back cold is rare.
Including this time, it has only happened three times.
The first time was when he saw the mysterious man sailing on a boat, leaving a mark in the waves of time and space, and after countless years, he could still find his approach through the mark, and even caused the illusory figure that should not exist to turn around and cast a sight across time and space at him.
The second time was when he first met Beiqian.
The figure wearing a hood, a long robe, and even a smooth mask on his face, quietly walked out of the sparkling waves like a dream bubble, and it seemed that time was frozen and stagnant wherever he passed.
Even around him, the frozen waves seemed to show signs of backflow, which violated the flow direction of the long river of time and space.
From that glance, Wei Tao was sure that this person could gather many masters of the universe and wandering demons together and give them orders. He did not rely on the intelligence information of the secret place where the supervisors were sleeping, but also had an inseparable relationship with his strong strength.
Each demon who could become the master of a universe or survive in the long river of time and space has a hidden trump card. If there is no strength to truly subdue these overlords, even if he holds the most secret and valuable intelligence information, he can only become a prey to be eaten up.
If it were him, even if he pushed the Hongmeng Dao Body to the 90th progress, he would not dare to say that he could gain the upper hand in the fight between life and death, and there was even a high possibility of defeat and death.
Wei Tao pondered silently, constantly observing and perceiving through various means.
The power of annihilation in his body became more and more active, so it attracted more empty and dead auras to surround him, gradually forming an invisible and intangible terrifying barrier around him.
The attribution of all laws was quietly opened at this time, trying to unify the annihilation power overflowing from the vortex and integrate it into the acupoint blood network that constitutes the foundation of the Hongmeng Dao Body.
This process is not easy.
It even brings unspeakable pain.
The key is that the annihilation power in the vortex is not only rich, but also purer, exceeding the scope of his current control in terms of both quantity and quality.
To absorb it, more Hongmeng purple qi must be attracted to counteract it, and the cycle of life and death brings huge pressure to the physical body and soul. Even the Hongmeng Dao Body with 90th progress is a little difficult to bear in this situation.
Fortunately, the "Time Passing Water" brought by the holy fruit allowed him to prolong the cycle of life and death as much as possible, so that he could barely maintain a delicate balance.
Every once in a while, Wei Tao would use a holy fruit of time and space to attribute the transformed power of time and integrate it into the absorption of the vortex's annihilation aura.
When everything was stable, the status bar quietly emerged in the void.
Wei Tao stared at the interface of the skills, his eyes fell on the Hongmeng Dao body.
Silently, a gold coin disappeared.
The mysterious aura descended and poured into the blood network acupoints.
With an incomparable majestic momentum, it suddenly accelerated the absorption and transformation speed by more than ten times.
It pushed the aura of annihilation, the purple aura of Hongmeng, and the power of time into a trinity, and then invested all of it in strengthening the body and soul.
Time passed little by little.
The mysterious aura seemed endless, like a surging wave that never stopped.
It caused various changes to continue to deepen, rapidly approaching the Hongmeng Dao body to the pinnacle of perfection.
Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, while paying attention to the surroundings and deeply perceiving the improvement of his body and soul.
He tried his best to restrain his aura so as not to attract the attention of other universe masters and external demons.
Fortunately, Bei Qian, the leader, was casting a spell near the vortex, and the aura of annihilation he caused was even more surging, and the movement he created almost swept the entire void space, and no one noticed the situation here at all.
More importantly, in the process of entering the perfect state of reaching the pinnacle, he seemed to be able to feel a faint shackle, not knowing where it came from or where its source was, but it was densely entangled and twisted, wrapping his true spirit and body layer by layer.
This feeling made him feel not satisfaction for the first time after practicing to improve his realm, but a kind of imprisonment and bondage that was difficult to break free.
Unconsciously, there was a sudden light click, which directly spread in the deepest part of Wei Tao's consciousness.
The mysterious aura disappeared, and all the changes were finally completed.
The feeling of imprisonment and bondage also quietly disappeared at this time.
In the status bar, the skill interface.
Name: Hongmeng Dao Body.
Progress: 100%.
Status: Reaching the pinnacle.
Description: Hongmeng began, Qiankun established the foundation.
"Do you want to consume a gold coin to improve the progress of Hongmeng Dao Body practice."
Wei Tao slowly raised his hand and wiped away a trace of blood from his lips, and the whole person revealed a weak and declining aura.
It was as if he could not resist the impact of the power of annihilation, and even suffered a serious injury.
But in the blood network all over his body, and in the acupoints shining like stars, a strand of liquid thread that was difficult to describe in words quietly appeared, slowly circling back and forth.
Wei Tao's mind moved, and he couldn't help but recall his practice in the Golden Ring World.
At that time, he frantically drew air into his body, and then compressed it through the immature attribution of various laws, and finally liquefied the Yuanling Qi between heaven and earth, and the combat power that could burst out suddenly soared.
At this moment, although not at the same height, the appearance of this line of liquid seemed to follow the same principle.
Compared with the Yuanling Qi at the beginning, it was nothing more than attributing the higher-level Hongmeng Purple Qi, the Light of Nirvana, and the Holy Fruit of Time and other power laws, and then continuously compressed under the effect of the mysterious breath, turning into something like blood flowing in the body.
Moreover, he had a feeling that if he exerted all his strength at all costs, based on the perfect level of the Hongmeng Dao Body, and gathered all the power including the Light of Nirvana, the Hongmeng Purple Qi and the Power of Time, and then recklessly stirred the resonance, and burst out through that strand of "liquid thread", he might be able to break the natural shackles to a limited extent.
Thus, he could peek into some deeper secrets.
With this in mind, Wei Tao looked at the slowly rotating vortex again, feeling the friendly and attractive breath coming from it. His original intention to retreat gradually faded, but was replaced by a quietly rising desire.
At the same time, he was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should start practicing again at this time and place.
After all, there was not much left of the Holy Fruit of Time in his hand, and he didn't know whether he could support the consumption from perfection to breaking through.
"Mr. Wei, did you find anything special when you came here for the first time?"
Suddenly, an old and gentle voice sounded, quietly entering his ears, and immediately interrupted Wei Tao's thoughts.
Wei Tao slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on the Guardian Saint.
Although the surrounding atmosphere of annihilation was like a death barrier, it did not seem to have much impact on him. He still maintained a ethereal demeanor in his every move.
"I didn't find anything, but I felt that there seemed to be some danger inside."
Wei Tao smiled, and at this moment he put a Holy Fruit of Time into his mouth, and at the same time he sighed with great regret.
"The Holy Fruit of Time is really good. I have never eaten such a good thing in my life. It's a pity that it will be gone soon. When I think of this, I can't help but feel sad and sad."
The Guardian Saint's eyes and mouth twitched, but there were more than a dozen fruits shining with seven colors in his hand, and he handed them to Wei Tao.
"Wei Daozi praised me so much, which makes me a little embarrassed."
He sighed, "It's just that the Holy Fruit of Time and Space is not easy to cultivate. I only have so many left. If Wei Daozi doesn't mind..."
The Guardian Saint's words were not finished, and his hand suddenly lightened.
Those fruits emitting brilliant light disappeared without any sign.
He did not seem angry at all, and even his smile remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened just now.
Gulp!
Wei Tao's throat surged, and he swallowed the two Holy Fruits of Time into his stomach.
He closed his eyes in satisfaction, "Give me a peach, return a plum. If there is anything that Senior Guardian wants me to help with, you can tell me now. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
The guardian saint slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, "The leader will take us into the vortex soon. Although I am the master of a universe, I am not very good at fighting, especially when I leave the universe and enter the depths of the long river, my strength level is not small.
So I hope that when I encounter danger, if Wei Daozi has spare energy, he can reach out and help me. Then, when I return safely, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"Don't worry, senior. As long as I can handle it, I will never let the sponsor suffer any harm."
Wei Tao nodded slightly and was about to say something else, but he kept silent without any sign.
At the same time, a ray of obscure light appeared in the depths of the vortex, and instantly illuminated the entire dark and empty space.
He held his breath and concentrated, trying to separate the light of extinction from the vortex, carefully observing and distinguishing its appearance.
The next moment, Wei Tao was shocked and squinted his eyes involuntarily.
In the depths of the suddenly contracted pupils, a huge and mottled stone door suddenly appeared.
A stone staircase quietly appeared, winding forward from behind the stone door, and no one knew where it led to.
The guardian saint sighed and said at this time, "The last time I came here with the leader Beiqian, I also saw this long road, but I couldn't go in one step anyway, and finally I had no choice but to give up."
"This time, the leader Beiqian finally found a way to enter the door, and gathered stronger power. Maybe he can really walk through this stone staircase and find the secret hidden at the end of the vortex."
As Beiqian cast the spell, the originally illusory stone door and the long road behind the door leading to the unknown gradually became real from illusory, and every detail was presented to everyone.
Wei Tao exhaled a long breath of hot air, carefully observed the stone steps behind the door, and remembered everything he saw.
Time passed little by little.
After dozens of breaths, Beiqian finally completed the last seal.
The long road of the stone gate completely turned from virtual to real, as if it was frozen with the stagnation of time, revealing its hidden true self to everyone.
Beiqian slowly put down his hands and turned his head to look behind him.
"I have said more than once about the precautions that should be explained in the previous section. If you want to get rid of the haze that has been hanging over your head, you need to cooperate sincerely and show your best ability.
As long as we can capture and study the supervisor in the vortex, and then understand the secrets of him clearly, we may be able to break the shackles and truly enjoy freedom in the long river of time and space."
After the voice fell, Beiqian took a step forward, crossed the mottled and broken stone gate, and stood in the center of the first stone step.
He looked back and the figure in black clothes and black robes quietly disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
The next moment, a series of strange and twisted figures quietly appeared.
Each kept a certain distance from each other and followed closely into the vortex.
Wei Tao and the Guardian Saint soon came to the stone gate.
He lowered his voice and asked casually, "Senior, are you in front or behind me?"
"Wei Daozi, just follow me. Let's not lose contact. This way, we can take care of each other when something happens. What do you think, Wei Daozi?"
"Okay, then the senior will go first, and the junior will follow behind."
Wei Tao nodded and watched the Guardian Saint enter the stone gate. He also disappeared silently on the first stone step without any trace of breath.
At this moment, he was the only one left in the entire void space.
Suddenly, a voice without any emotion sounded quietly, abruptly interrupting Wei Tao's thoughts.
"Wei Daozi, what are you thinking about?"
Wei Tao slowly turned his head and saw the figure in black clothes, black robes, and transparent masks. He didn't know when he appeared in front of the door again, like a ghost.
