Cold rain in late autumn.

Ancient temple at dusk.

A path winds through the valley, leading to this dark mountain col.

A jackdaw huddled on a dead tree outside the small temple raised its head and stared blankly at the sky. Occasionally, it lowered its head and glanced inside the small temple.

"Why are you watching, why don't you get out of here?!"

The dull and suppressed voice carried a somewhat indescribable richness and power, like a tiger roaring in the dark, shocking all beasts, and exploded outside the small pavilion.

The jackdaw was frightened and fluttered its wings, but it hovered in the air for a while and seemed to find nowhere to go. Then it flinched and flew back to the branch.

He was being chased too closely by the Taoist man thirty miles away.

He had traveled three thousand miles from Jingyanggang to here, with almost no time to rest, so that until now he had not had time to digest the alchemy in his stomach, and he was a little exhausted.

The man with hooded hair and curly beard who kicked open the rotten door of the dilapidated temple courtyard glanced at the roof of the pavilion above the ancient well in the courtyard, turned his brown eyes, and curled his lips contemptuously.

How dare an ordinary person pay a visit to me?

The roar spread, the pillars and roof of the small pavilion shivered, the gray grass fell off, and the black shadow crawling on the roof only trembled, but there was no other movement.

At this moment, something seemed to have been activated by his roar, and the main hall of the ruined temple, which was far away from the small pavilion in the courtyard, suddenly seemed to shake.

A golden light spread out from the main hall and hit the wellhead in the pavilion.

The man with shaggy hair and curly beard had long noticed the strange phenomenon at the mouth of the well.

The white mist is lingering, as if tangible objects are slowly transforming into form. When illuminated by the golden light, they instantly accelerate and condense.

Stopping in surprise, the man looked at the hexagonal wellhead in the pavilion, then glanced back at the strange light that was slowly disappearing, and his eyes fell on the ruined temple with an unobstructed view.

The slowly rising light on a strange statue leaning on the pedestal in front of the temple is dimming.

The power of God’s will?

The man suddenly became serious. If he could be blessed by incense and vows, he would be no ordinary thing.

Just this statue...?

The man could not identify what such an ugly statue was.

But after all, he has been traveling in the human world for many years, and he also knows that the customs in the world are different, and the private temples for obscenity are also all kinds of strange, so it is not strange to worship anything.

It's just that the sacrificial object is too hideous and terrifying.

But if it was simply ferocious and terrifying, that would be fine. After all, it was not uncommon to see people offering sacrifices to monsters and ghosts in the secular world, but this one looked like a beast. For a while, he didn't think of any gods and ghosts with such an image.

The forehead is protruding and the nose is protruding, the mouth is protruding and the teeth are buckled, the top of the head is uneven, and the statue is missing both arms and the lower half, leaving only a clay sculpture half.

It has no majestic and vigorous form, nor does it have the air of looking down on all living beings. No matter how you look at it, it looks like something you handle casually in private.

Look again at the dilapidated and messy appearance of this temple. The candlesticks in the main hall have collapsed, the offering trays have fallen to the ground, and a futon is rotted into a mess, with broken grass roots sticking out, revealing the wooden base inside.

The side hall was empty, except that the stone walls were crooked and mottled.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like anyone is coming to worship.

Perhaps this is a big demon unique to this place, which is quite efficacious and attracts ordinary people to worship it privately?

But no matter what it was, his natural intuition made him feel the crisis.

The monster at the mouth of the well transformed into shape very quickly. Almost in a breath, it had already expanded into a white-headed, green-bodied monster with a wide forehead and broad nose, and its appearance was somewhat similar to the statue of the god.

I saw the monster's eyes were red, with golden light flashing. The ferocious flames in his eyes immediately fell on him, and he also showed a bit of joy. In an instant, he was about to turn into reality. Is this guy going to transform?

Is it the form of the Yuan Shen, or is it the form of the Yuan Ti that I cannot know?

The man with shaggy hair and beard suddenly felt the pressure forcing him to breathe hard, and the pill that had not yet been digested in his belly started beating vigorously, almost jumping out of his body.

He immediately felt that a disaster was coming, and his innate sense of crisis made the hair on his body stand up.

This monster actually wanted to devour him, and even the undigested elixir in his belly was affected.

You simply ignore yourself, how brave!

But the strength displayed by the other party also gave him a feeling of overwhelming power that he was unable to resist.

Either run away or fight.

A hundred years of traveling in the world and three hundred years of cultivation have never left him in such a defenseless state, but his heart and blood do not allow him to be captured without restraint.

The man with shaggy hair and curly beard didn't have time to think too much. He took a quick stride and was three feet away. In just one step, the man transformed into a beautiful tiger that was over one foot long!

The beard and hair of Dou Da's head were bulging, and his blood-filled mouth suddenly opened, and the red and white breath spurted out, directly attacking the swirling, tangled, and transformed aura.

The atmosphere that was transforming and consolidating suddenly expanded outwards, and the lingering smoke exploded with a roar, blooming into speckled air waves, facing the impact of the red and white gas.

"boom!"

The tiger's huge body was suddenly shaken three feet away, and its light dimmed.

The entire dark and colorful figure presented a blurred shadow, twisting and folding in the space, and the elixir that had not yet had time to be digested in the belly was almost knocked out.

In shock, the tiger transformed into a human form again, and the man with shaggy hair and curly beard could not believe what he had encountered.

Unexpectedly, a layer of external energy can dissipate the energy of the elixir that has been exerted to its extreme, and some of it has already digested the Taoist's elixir.

Could this demon really have become a god with the power of incense and wishes?!

How can this be?

For a moment, he didn't know what to do, but he knew that once the demon took shape, with the power it showed, even if he ran away now, he would never be able to escape from the opponent's clutches.

With no choice left, the shaggy-haired and bearded man roared again.

Suddenly, his hands transformed into tiger claws. The red and white vitality between the claws disappeared and appeared, and he pressed forward with his hands clasped together.

As soon as they merged and separated, in an instant, the entire space in the pavilion was about to be torn apart, and the small pavilion suddenly exploded into pieces.

The thatch on the top of the entire pavilion was scattered in all directions, the four pavilion pillars were broken, the cyclone exploded, and even the hexagonal wellhead shook.

The transformed giant ape couldn't help but grin, and stretched its arms.

There are actually beautiful things delivered to your door. Is it true that God has opened his eyes?

Although it is said that the quality is a bit poor and a bit mixed, it is actually a tiger's body, but it is also mixed with the human Taoist elixir, making it an appetizer.

The figure of the giant ape was about to break free from the constraints of the wellhead with a single move, and its lower body was completely transformed in only the last moment.

A silver-white bolt suddenly appeared in the pitch-black void and cut through the sky, falling straight down between the sky and the earth, reflecting the vast expanse of daylight in Cuiwei, Yushan Mountain, which is three thousand miles away.

The horse fell from the sky a little lower and fell to the ground, so that the whole three thousand miles of Yushan Mountain and its surrounding towns could see this heavenly fall.

Countless cultivators couldn't help but rise up in the air and look around, trying to see clearly who was in trouble again.

Bai Lian's light suddenly disappeared, splashing down from the sky, breaking through the sky in the blink of an eye.

But it bloomed on the well in this pavilion.

"ah!"

"Ouch!"

The man with shaggy hair and curly beard had just time to approach the opponent again with the Dan Yuan Cyclone dancing with his claws, when he saw the Bai Lian light falling from the sky blooming between the two of them, or in other words, the radiance that he had released with his lifetime Dan Yuan.

And the monster giant ape transformed into its real form.

The top of the barrel-sized nimbus flame ball had a thin line of silver-white reaching straight to the sky. It suddenly expanded and exploded between the two of them. The entire two-fold intertwined cyclone was instantly swallowed by the flame, and then slowly spread outward.

The giant ape's expression changed from surprise and joy to horror, despair and anger when it fell into the eyes of the man with shaggy hair and curly beard.

Before he could react, he found that his entire body had once again transformed into the shadow of a tiger, and even the remaining alchemy turned into dots and scattered in the air.

"No! God damn it!"

"ah!"

With gradually blurred eyes, he watched the giant ape that had transformed from its feathers into its real form disappear again, and a flash of spiritual light suddenly passed away.

The entire real form turned into a white mist again, and was forced back into the hexagonal well. Along with a series of rough and violent curses, it went straight to the bottom of the well for hundreds of feet, and disappeared without a trace.

No one noticed that when the top of the pavilion was blown open by the air wave, the black shadow that screamed and fell from the top of the pavilion had not had time to land, but was bounced into the temple by the shock wave released when the light flames bloomed, and was hit hard.

The stone wall of the side hall only made a dent in the stone wall before it fell to the ground silently.

Thirty miles away, a figure shot out of the sky and came through the sky.

It only landed in the sky above this stone kip, but could no longer feel the aura that was quite clear before.

The Taoist who landed on the top of Shek Kip Peak felt incredible.

Count with your fingers.

One hour?

Could it really be that violent tiger that turned into a nightmare to deal with the calamity?

It shouldn't be.

Even though the guy took advantage of the situation and swallowed his junior brother's Yuan Dan, he was still far from being ready for the disaster, at least it couldn't be this kind of heavenly disaster, but the faint aura of the guy was fading away, and it seemed to be getting stronger.
