The black smoke formed by the shadow was immune to energy attacks. As if entering an uninhabited land, it suddenly passed through the heavy defenses around Xu Zifan and entered the center of his eyebrows.
At this time, Xu Zifan's body was gradually controlled. In the process, he tried many methods, but they were of little use. Generally speaking, the situation was developing in the direction of deterioration.
At a certain moment, Xu Zifan had an evil and sinister smile on his face, and a bloodthirsty light in his eyes. But at the next moment, the expression on his face returned to normal, and his eyes became extremely clear.
"snort!"
Xu Zifan snorted coldly. Although he was anxious about the current situation, he did not lose his calm.
At this time, he understood that he had received a mental attack, or a soul attack, so the energy was useless, or his energy level was too low to be of much use.
The realm of "gods" involving humans is unpredictable, complex and profound, and has been separated from the scope of general martial arts. Although Xu Zifan is a martial arts master in the world of Swordsman, but in the realm of "gods", it is still a mystery.
Looking at the flowers, I feel misty.
At this time, when encountering this situation, through the process of chasing him and the black smoke formed by the strange black shadow, Xu Zifan could feel that the other party was not actually that powerful, but his shape and abilities were very strange.
Its superpowers can be understood as being possessed by ghosts, seizing bodies, etc. It involves the human "god" and is an attack at the soul level. Ordinary people are simply unable to defend themselves against such attacks and do not know how to defend themselves, so they appear to be extremely powerful.
Invincible.
But if this strange existence encounters an existence that also possesses spiritual or soul-level powers, it may not be able to take advantage.
Even at this time, after Xu Zifan calmed down, he also thought of a way to resist this attack. Just now he felt that he was unable to resist, and there was no way. It was just because of his instant reaction after being caught off guard.
Just now, when the strange black smoke entered the center of his eyebrows, the strange existence screamed for an instant because of the rich power of blood around him.
It can be seen from here that although this strange existence has the ability to almost ignore its own energy attacks, it is very afraid of the power of blood and energy around it.
In fact, if you think about it for a while, you will understand the reason. The power of blood is the foundation of human beings. If blood is strong, the body will be strong.
In fact, the human body and one's soul are complementary existences. The human body is the foundation of everything. The soul is born from the body. It is definitely not just a simple soul that is placed in the body and exists alone.
In ancient legends, people with strong blood energy have a body like the sun, protected by blazing Yang fire, which can ward off evil spirits. The soul fire is strong, which is the best way to restrain evil spirits such as ghosts.
After thinking about this, Xu Zifan no longer worried at this time, but what he should be worried about was the strange black smoke.
Because Xu Zifan's body is full of blood, he just hides the power of his body's blood and does not show it on weekdays.
At this time, Xu Zifan's physical realm has reached the stage where blood and energy are contained in the divine body. If his blood and energy are revealed without concealment, the phenomenon of twin dragons of blood and energy will immediately appear.
When the physical body has reached this state, Xu Zifan's body is like a furnace of heaven and earth, with the power of blood boiling and the heat reaching the extreme.
The strange black smoke between his eyebrows is like an evil thing that has entered the furnace of heaven and earth. It is impossible for it to exist here forever.
In fact, this is indeed the case. At this time, between Xu Zifan's eyebrows, there is an inexplicable space called the Sea of Divine Consciousness, or the Sea of Consciousness for short.
In this sea of consciousness, what you see is a vast ocean, sparkling and shining with divine brilliance. These are Xu Zifan's soul matter and spiritual energy.
There is a strange black smoke here that sometimes turns into seven human-shaped black shadows and dives into the ocean. But a moment later, these seven black shadows emerge from the sea again, with painful expressions on their faces, and soon they gather into a fluttering black shadow.
The smoke was swimming on the sparkling ocean, looking a little anxious, not knowing what it was looking for.
Correspondingly, when the seven black shadows penetrated into the ocean, Xu Zifan's body could no longer be controlled by himself. When the seven black shadows emerged from the ocean, Xu Zifan's body regained control of himself.
At this moment, Xu Zifan's body was gradually controlled less and less frequently, which showed that the seven black shadows transformed by the black smoke were becoming more and more fearful of the soul matter in Xu Zifan's sea of consciousness and did not want to mess with it in the slightest.
At this time, black smoke is cruising and flying everywhere in Xu Zifan's sea of consciousness. It can be seen that his evil intentions are not dead, and he wants to find loopholes in Xu Zifan's mental level to harm and destroy him.
This wisp of black smoke was formless and fast at this time, like a wisp of black light, galloping back and forth in Xu Zifan's sea of consciousness.
Within the sea of consciousness, in the vast ocean, there was a sea of hot, strange black smoke. After several initial attempts, it no longer dared to break into seven human-shaped black shadows and enter the vast ocean, affecting Xu Zifan's soul and then controlling his body.
At this time, the black smoke continued to swim in the sea of consciousness, and gradually reached the depths of this sea of consciousness, which is the center of Xu Zifan's soul and matter.
Just as this wisp of black smoke continued to swim, suddenly, something strange happened in this sea of consciousness.
I saw two objects floating in the deepest part of the sea of consciousness, on the calm ocean.
One of them is a silver-gray droplet that is constantly changing its shape. This is exactly the silver-gray water drop-shaped thing that flew into the world of Xiaoao Jianghu and flew into Xu Zifan's eyebrows.
The other one is a three-inch-high blue pagoda. The blue color is dreamy and crystal clear. The tower is divided into nine floors. It is vaguely visible that there is a miniature humanoid creature sitting cross-legged on each floor, hazy.
The entire small tower floats over the ocean, with a layer of blue mist shrouding the outside. Hazy, the blue mist circulates around the small tower.
Although this pagoda is only three inches high, it gives people the feeling that it can suppress the nine heavens and ten earths. It has a majestic and vast aura.
This small tower is exactly the tower-shaped strange fruit that Xu Zifan once "ate". Unexpectedly, it has always existed in Xu Zifan's sea of consciousness.
At this time, the small tower is shrouded in a layer of misty blue mist, mysterious and endless, standing high in the sky above the ocean, giving people the feeling of being unable to help but worship it.
The small tower did not react at all to the arrival of the strange black smoke, but the silver droplet did have some reaction.
Just hearing a buzzing sound, the shape of the silver-gray droplet suddenly changed, and a circle of silver light waves rippled from its surface. In the blink of an eye, the light waves swept across and spread out, shrouding the strange black smoke that had just arrived here.
At the same time, without waiting for the strange black smoke to react, this ray of silver light wave actually carried the invisible and strange black smoke back. The silver-gray droplets rippled, and the strange black smoke instantly entered the silver-gray droplets and disappeared.
After swallowing the strange black smoke, the silver-gray droplets remained as before, floating quietly above Xu Zifan's sea of consciousness, constantly changing shapes, as if nothing had happened and everything was still the same.
Xu Zifan had no idea that such a change had occurred in his sea of consciousness. He only felt a mysterious buzzing sound rippling out from the center of his eyebrows for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.
In fact, from the time when the strange black smoke entered the center of Xu Zifan's eyebrows to the moment when there is no trace of the strange black smoke, it happened in a matter of seconds, and it didn't take long in total.
Vaguely, a sound wave rippled out from between Xu Zifan's eyebrows. Although it quickly disappeared, a solemn look appeared on Xu Zifan's face.
Because he had heard the vibrating sound just now.
It is the silver-gray liquid droplet formed by the world of Swordsman, and the vibrating sound emitted by the stone ring Tianbao inside it.
Thinking of the silver-gray liquid droplets in the unknown place between his eyebrows, Xu Zifan already knew in his heart that the strange black smoke might never be seen again.
Regarding the mysterious existence of the strange black smoke, Xu Zifan currently has no special method to deal with it. He can only rely on his powerful blood energy to avoid damage from some soul attacks.
After what happened today, Xu Zifan also realized that he had another shortcoming, which was the method of guarding against soul attacks.
But for this point, at present, Xu Zifan doesn't know how to make up for this shortcoming. The means involving soul attacks and the ability to defend against soul attacks are very few, and they are methods that are divorced from the mundane.
At this time, Xu Zifan stood still for a moment again, and found nothing unusual. He finally felt relieved. The strange black smoke should never appear again.
And as the strange black shadow disappeared, the 23rd Ridge, which was originally shrouded in clouds and shrouded in magic smoke, gradually changed from darkness to a bit brighter.
The traces of ghostly mist floating in the dense forest in the sky also dissipated without realizing it.
This place has transformed from a miserable land on earth into a lush mountain forest.
Perhaps after Xu Zifan leaves, this place will be occupied by other strange beings or other demons, but Xu Zifan got rid of a powerful strange being. This is an indisputable fact.
Then Xu Zifan stepped out and continued moving forward, heading deeper into the Xiliang Mountains.
The entire Xiliang Mountains range from the bank of the Yellow River in the west to the small county where Xu Zifan's hometown is located in the east. It is a distance of dozens of miles. There are a total of fifty-two ridges on it, most of which are inaccessible places.
At this time, Xu Zifan headed towards the next mountain range, which was the 24th Ridge. According to legend, the tree demon that was eliminated some time ago was originally the demon that the stranger encountered while hunting for treasure on the 24th Ridge.
It can be seen from this that the twenty-fourth ridge of the Xiliang Mountains is by no means a pure land, but a demonic land where demons have existed.
Xu Zifan stepped forward. After experiencing the attack of the strange black shadow just now, he paid more attention to his own safety and concentrated on guarding against everything around him.
Ridge 24!
The area is lush and lush, with dense ancient trees, very lush and full of vitality.
Here, the air is much fresher than other places, and it feels like you have returned to the most pristine nature.
At this time, Xu Zifan was walking in this mountainous area, surrounded by ancient trees and ginseng trees, and lush weeds. The area was green and full of vitality.
This is a paradise for cultivation. Cultivating here is definitely far better than in a crowded and complicated place like a small county town.
At this time, Xu Zifan was walking while observing all the scenery around him. Everything he saw was green and full of life. He couldn't help but have some ideas. After he calmed down all the monsters around him, he would build a special training place here.
.
However, this kind of thought is just a momentary thought. If you think carefully about the difficulties that need to be overcome, it is a bit taken for granted.
The 24th Ridge was very peaceful. Until Xu Zifan passed through it, he did not find any monsters or weird things that could harm humans.
Perhaps the tree demon really came from this place, otherwise it would not be possible to explain that such an excellent place for cultivation is empty at this time, with no powerful aliens occupying it.
Traveling all the way, Xu Zifan didn't encounter any strangers blocking his way, and soon Xu Zifan arrived at the 25th Ridge.
The overall environment here is somewhat similar to the 24th Ridge. It is also lush, green, and full of life. The difference is that here, there is a group of thorn monsters occupying a large area.
This thorn demon can instantly stretch out dozens of meters long thorn vines with poisonous stings.
Xu Zifan saw with his own eyes that a mutated rabbit was very fast, much faster than an ordinary unmutated hare. It could travel more than ten feet with just one kick of its legs. It was also very flexible and could climb trees and jump over trees.
But just such a mutated hare, still more than twenty meters away from the thorn demon, was pierced by a thorn vine and brought back to the place where the thorn demon's body was.
At the same time, a bird flew across the sky, and another thorn demon, its vines reached up to the sky, like a green lightning, it was very fast, and it stabbed the bird down.
The most important thing is that there are not just two thorn demons here, but a large group. Xu Zifan initially estimated that there are about twenty dozen such thorn demons.
Xu Zifan did not kill these thorn demons, but only came out to intimidate them before leaving again.
Changes occurred in the world, spiritual energy descended, and everything in the world had a chance to transcend. It was impossible for Xu Zifan to just kill the aliens when he saw them, that would be unrealistic.
And Xu Zifan has a feeling that perhaps in the future, these species born on the earth will all have a common enemy, which means that they may not be hostile camps in the future.
Of course, if he encounters aliens who are malicious towards humans and hunt humans for food, Xu Zifan will not show any mercy and will definitely eradicate them.
Twenty-five thorn monsters occupy the twenty-fifth ridge. Perhaps it is not all bad. They can also resist the strange monsters coming out from the depths of the Xiliang Mountains.
Next, Xu Zifan walked through the 26th ridge, the 27th ridge, and finally the 35th ridge.
Among these ten mountains, there are actually plants that are alien to the climate, which is amazing.
Among them are man-eating flower monsters, a sea of flowers, and various ancient trees that form the climate.
