Chapter 94: The Way of Mortals
On the mountain path, the whistling mountain wind made a whooshing sound, as if it would blow people away in an instant.
Of course, this is only for ordinary people. If a cultivator encounters such winds, they won't cause any trouble at all. A simple spiritual energy shield can easily block the fierce winds of the mundane world!
But now, Wang Chen, Feng Wuji and Mo Xiu are ordinary people, without a single thread of spiritual energy in their bodies, not even a hint of spiritual energy can be found in the air. In this way, even if the three of them have extremely high cultivation levels, they cannot cast a simple spiritual energy shield.
If a master's cultivation is likened to an engine, then the height of their realm undoubtedly means the quality of the engine. In that case, spiritual energy would be the fuel for the engine.
Even the best engine can't move a single step without fuel! That's the situation of the three people now.
Logically speaking, although the cultivator has no more magical powers, his body has at least been nourished by spiritual energy, and his physical strength is much better than that of ordinary people. But the wind on the mountain is not the worldly wind, it was okay at first, Feng Wuji and Mo Xiu could still withstand it, but as they went further up, a chill began to appear in the biting wind.
Even a body nourished by spiritual energy cannot withstand it.
The best among the three is Wang Chen. Although Wang Chen spent a lot of time in the previous level, this level was not difficult for him.
Equivalent to the top-grade treasure's peak body strength, it was simply a fierce gust of wind on the summit. Instead, not long after, he surpassed them one after another, gradually leaving Feng Wuji and Mo Xiu behind.
Although the three of them cannot meet each other, nor do they know if others have reached this level!
But gradually, Wang Chen began to realize that something was wrong. His face suddenly turned extremely ugly, and every now and then he would burst out in a loud scolding: "What the hell is this? The wind wasn't very strong to begin with, how did it suddenly increase by so much?! And if I'm not mistaken, there's even a hint of evil energy mixed in!"
The previous fierce wind was an insurmountable disaster for ordinary people, but Wang Chen didn't take it seriously. However, after being mixed with the aura of death, even Wang Chen's face couldn't help but change!
It is a kind of strange gas between heaven and earth, with strong corrosive effect and great destructive power. Practitioners can hardly use it. Of course, there are some mysterious spells and treasures that can use Sha Qi, but this is only a very small part, and it's just a clever use, without really using Sha Qi to the extreme.
But for Ti Xiu, the killing aura is a good thing to refine the body, much better than those poisonous substances and so on. After all, the killing aura can absorb a thread, it won't instantly destroy the body, but instead can use the power of the killing aura to slowly refine the body!
This mountain wind contains a hint of evil spirit.
There are many types of Sha Qi, and Wang Chen only knows a few of them, such as the Zhun Sha contained in this wind. Zhun Sha is a relatively special type of Sha Qi, which has a relatively small corrosive effect on all things, but can penetrate almost anything else and then crush things with its own weight.
Jūn is a unit of weight, one jūn is approximately sixty catties. The jūn of murderous aura contained in this thread is probably several thousand catties heavy.
Several thousand kilograms were not heavy for Wang Chen, especially since Wang Chen also wanted to use the evil energy to temper his body and did not use his own sword intent to drive the evil energy away. On the contrary, he carried the increasingly heavy Jyun Evil forward with him.
Three thousand catties, three thousand five hundred catties......
The weight increased a little more, and when it reached 100,000 catties, Wang Chen felt somewhat unable to bear it. After all, if this continued to grow like this, he was afraid that before reaching the top of the mountain, his body would not be able to withstand such weight.
On the other hand, Feng Wuji and Mo Xi also fell into the trouble caused by Jun Xia, although both of them were extraordinary, but they couldn't completely drive away Jun Xia. The Jun Xia on their bodies was increasing bit by bit, although neither the number nor the speed of increase could compare to one tenth of Wang Chen's.
Hoo-hoo!
The mountain wind was biting, and the distance to the summit was no longer far away. Even a palace on the top of the mountain could be vaguely seen. Wang Chen's body already had twenty-eight million kilograms, without taking a step, an imprint appeared under his feet, and his body had to stop for a moment.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Wang Chen endured the pain in his body:
"This weight is getting heavier and heavier, I'm afraid it won't last much longer, we need to move forward quickly!" Helplessly, Wang Chen also started using his sword intent, suppressing the weight on his body.
On the other hand, Feng Wuji and Mo Xiu were also panting respectively.
"This evil energy is too powerful, even my sharp sword intent can't eliminate it completely. It has already accumulated 18,000 catties of power, and if this continues, I won't be able to hold on until the top of the mountain."
Feng Wuji slightly furrowed his brow, pointing with one hand. The aura on his body became even more tranquil and sharp, cutting apart the evil energy that tried to approach him, dispersing it in all directions. Even some of the evil energy on his own body was driven away.
"This divine power is indeed extraordinary. Although it was only an initial auxiliary effect, it has already increased the power of the three-layered sword intent. I wonder what will happen in the future!"
……..
Hei Yi Mo Xiu faced increasingly heavy pressure from the Jyun Sha, and the blood color on his body was also surging non-stop, as if something terrifying was about to happen!
Hoo-hoo!
The black-robed demon let out a mournful howl, like a demonic beast. A moment later, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from his mouth, bringing with it most of the evil energy on his body.
After the blood came out, it didn't drip onto the ground. Instead, it eerily formed a shield that surrounded the black-robed monk inside, and the evil energy from the mountain couldn't get any closer!
"Hmph! A mere evil spirit, I don't even put it in my eyes. If it weren't for the fact that my cultivation was completely lost, that old dragon's residual soul wouldn't be so presumptuous. However, heh heh, the treasure that the old dragon fought to the death for will ultimately still fall into my hands!"
………………………………………
The palace on the mountain top is already near, Wang Chen looks forward and can even see the ancient patterns on it.
Two more steps forward, the fierce wind on the mountain suddenly disappeared, completely unreasonable, the wind at the top of the mountain is usually the most violent.
However, Wang Chen didn't budge and instead endured the pressure of 300,000 kilograms on his body as he slowly moved forward.
Bang!
Wang Chen fell to the ground, his whole body covered in blood, as if his body was about to burst.
"What's going on? Why does it feel like the oppressive atmosphere has suddenly become heavier? No, it's not just that - gravity itself has changed, it's increased! And with it, the oppressive atmosphere has also undergone a sudden transformation!"
Knocked to the ground by the sudden increase in gravity, Wang Chen struggled to get up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get up. The weight on his body had already exceeded 500,000 catties, and Wang Chen's strength was completely unable to support it.
Fortunately, Wang Chen's physical strength was terrifyingly strong, otherwise this force could have crushed his body, 500,000 jin of power, which is already the peak strength of the foundation-building period!
Crawling with his hands and feet, Wang Chen inched forward on the ground, advancing only a few dozen centimeters at a time. At the same time, every time he crawled, a part of his muscles would be severely strained.
On the one hand, the evil energy overflowed from his body under the influence of gravity, which was as painful as if a knife had scraped off his flesh bit by bit; on the other hand, the gravity near the palace became stronger and stronger, although the evil energy decreased a lot, but the power on his body did not decrease much.
Advancing in pain, Wang Chen's mind was highly concentrated, with only one thought of reaching the palace.
The pain of overflowing evil energy was heart-wrenching, but Wang Chen had already experienced many similar degrees of pain at a young age!
"We're almost there, just a little further ahead, and we'll be done!"
Every step Wang Chen took, his body left a large patch of blood wherever he went, this was the evil energy overflowing and bringing out blood, it's imaginable how painful this must be.
………..
On the other hand, Feng Wuji and Mo Xiu were actually a bit faster, and they slowly caught up with Wang Chen. After all, the evil energy on their bodies had decreased significantly.
Even in areas with abnormal gravity, there was no wind or fear, just a bit of discomfort as they continued forward. What's even more terrifying is the black-robed monk, who let out a strange and eerie laugh as he looked at the palace, then transformed his body into a pool of blood that quickly moved forward, and was actually the first to arrive at the palace.
Then, Feng Wuji was the second to enter the palace, while Wang Chen lagged behind as the last of the three. It wasn't until the two had entered for a long time that Wang Chen, who was prostrating himself on the ground, finally stretched out his hand to touch the palace.
In an instant, Wang Chen's figure appeared in the palace, and the gravity on his body also disappeared. The oppressive aura was not even a thread.
