The bluestone road is very quiet, and it has always been like this. Except when a group of geniuses gather when you come in, it is extremely desolate at other times, and you can hear a needle drop.
A trace of chaos and fog, three thousand ancient roads, mottled by the years, silent.
Shi Hao sat cross-legged and thought silently. If he continued, his life would probably be in danger. People who set foot on this road in ancient times would not end well.
The red clouds are dotted and the red light is bright. This is a sacred medicine like red coral. It was snatched from the hands of the underworld tribe. He sacrificed it and gave it to the imperial butterfly in the distance.
"Boy, you are so biased. This is a holy medicine, and you are giving it away so generously. It's so hard for me to ask you for a few stones." God-beating Stone said angrily.
"Are you embarrassed to say such a thing?" Shi Hao glanced at it sideways and said: "Whether it is the Destiny Stone or the Hunyuan Stone, which one will not shock the upper world when it comes out? I will give them all to you."
"Uh." The god-killing stone was very disappointing, so he burped on the spot and stopped talking.
The imperial butterfly turned into a golden beam and rushed over, hugged the bright red coral-like elixir, and began to eat it. At the same time, she did not forget to nod to Shi Hao to express her gratitude.
"I once said that when you enter Immortal Ancient, I will definitely help you find all kinds of great medicines to transform you." Shi Hao smiled.
Emperor Butterfly had helped him a lot when he was on Alcatraz Island, leading the Zerg army to sweep away. His role and power made him stunned at the time.
In addition, Shi Hao also wanted to see how strange and powerful a legendary imperial butterfly would be once it transformed and grew up.
According to the vague records in the bone books, only one emperor butterfly has appeared in history. It came from the deepest part of the no-man's land of the upper world, and then the lower world.
Its achievements were few. It only waved its wings once, and three gods were turned into powder and annihilated in an instant. It is precisely because of this that it is remembered by future generations.
Of course, he is only remembered in the lower world.
In the upper world, there are not many legends about it, and few people have seen its supreme posture of dancing gracefully and flapping its wings to split the gods.
"It pulled out one hundred and eight kinds of Taoist flames, and it hasn't shown anything too special." Shi Hao whispered. He touched his arm, and there were scars and blood stains there.
During the duel with Luo Dao, the opponent's hair suddenly grew and wrapped around his forearm, causing some damage. Although it was not fatal, it was still injured.
Shi Hao reflected. Currently, the way he ignites his body with the Taoist flames of the Bluestone Road has not truly demonstrated his defiance of the heavens. His current strength is entirely based on his own foundation and the accumulation of the past.
"Unless hundreds, or even thousands, of them are ignited, by that time, there should be different visions, right?"
However, one hundred and eight kinds have already injured him and burned his body. If there were hundreds or thousands of kinds, how terrifying it would be!
Shi Hao knew that his journey had just begun, everything had just begun. The real crisis and test of life and death were yet to come.
Otherwise, why would so many beautiful monks from ancient times have either passed away or been disabled or had accidents after embarking on this road?
"let's start!"
Shi Hao calmed down and began to retreat.
In the next few days, he remained motionless, as if petrified, without any ripples.
He is adjusting, and at the same time, he has completely recovered from his earlier injuries, and will continue to challenge at his peak, ignite the Tao fire, and achieve transformation.
The breeze blows and the mist spreads.
Five days later, the bluestone road was no longer quiet. One road after another emitted faint light, turned into runes, spread to the ground, and entangled a young man.
One road, two roads...
Soon, the 108th road was reached, and the fire was soaring that it engulfed him, and the place was filled with fierceness.
If you look carefully, you can see that the fire contains symbols, which are densely packed, intertwined and constructed, evolving into vigorous flames, surrounding Shi Hao.
This is what he has experienced before, and it would not hurt his health to walk it again now.
"Next, the real crisis has arrived." Shi Hao took a deep breath, and the fire burst out, entering his belly from his mouth and nose, and his whole body was filled with divine flames.
Sonorous!
Shi Hao started the cauldron, using the heaven and earth as materials, intercepting the void, and building a "big weapon" to refine himself.
The void was distorted and blurred, and a furnace slowly took shape, wrapping him and letting him be inside it, and then began to absorb the power of heaven and earth, turning it into a simple weapon.
The other bluestone roads glowed, runes spread, and firelight gathered, burning the cauldron, and the light shot up into the clouds.
The ancient land is no longer peaceful, Shi Hao's life and death test begins, and the number of fires increases, one after another, which is both hope and like a chain of death, entwining.
"One hundred and nine, one hundred and ten..."
One after another was added, and as time went by, it had been added to one hundred and fifty. Shi Hao felt that the heat was unstoppable, and there was severe pain all over his body, and he was about to be burned through.
This is indeed a life-and-death trial. We have only added a few dozen steps, but our physical body has already been injured. There are so many more to come, how can we finish it?
He is neither depressed nor discouraged. He firmly believes that if he goes step by step, he will succeed. He has hope in his heart, his eyes are bright, and his belief remains firm.
One hundred and seventy, the fire burned the sky!
At this moment, everyone in the outside world who saw this scene was moved. Only dozens of words were added, but the power was much stronger.
Looking at it this way, the fire was raging there, drowning everything, and the lines were intertwined, just like lightning. It was so terrifying that it made people feel horrified just looking at it.
"puff!"
Shi Hao coughed up a mouthful of black blood. The fire was so strong that it almost burned through the cauldrons of heaven and earth and twisted them.
He endured the pain and silently observed the runes and Tao in the firelight. He did not want to repeat the path of his predecessors, but just watched and used them as fire to burn out a true self.
One hundred and eighty flames, some holes appeared in Shi Hao's body, which was very terrifying. Dozens of new firelights entered his body and illuminated his whole body.
This was suffering, but it was also an opportunity. Tao patterns burned his bones, and dozens of Tao principles were entangled, making his body emit the sound of Zen singing and rumbling.
Time passed, and Shi Hao himself didn't know how many days had passed. When the second hundred flames were ignited, his body was dry and extremely weak. He was almost dead. His whole body was charred and black, even worse than the first time.
There were many transparent holes in the body, which were burned through.
He sat there, motionless, his body was dead, but his eyes had an astonishingly bright light, illuminating this place like two golden lamps.
He no longer added flames, endured it silently, and understood it carefully, letting the two hundred fires circulate, burning blood and bones, and remained silent.
It wasn't until many days passed that he got used to this kind of burning. There was nothing left to burn in his body. The old black skin was wrapped around the bones, and many lines from the fire were imprinted on it, like a dragon swimming around, flowing all over his body.
Shi Hao had a sense of detachment. Although he was about to be burned, he seemed to have escaped and looked at everything. Sometimes he would forget the pain and only have an understanding of the Tao.
After a long time, the two hundred fires went out. The furnace collapsed and Shi Hao fell to the ground.
"Boy, are you crazy?" The Holy Stone rushed over, and Huangdie also held the holy medicine that she had not yet finished eating, turning into a beam of light and falling next to him, very anxiously.
"No problem." Shi Hao stood up.
Apart from the fact that he was still in human form, he was almost unrecognizable. His old black skin was cracked, his eye sockets were sunken, and he was completely withered.
Moreover, there are two hundred light groups in the body, and the fire is fierce and still burning.
"It's just a minor injury. It will heal in two days." Shi Hao said. This was naturally not a minor injury. It penetrated the body from front to back. It was extremely serious.
With nearly a hundred more Taoist fires, the power is not just doubled, but even more powerful!
If he hadn't become a god and greatly improved in strength, he would definitely turn into ashes and die completely.
"I don't have time to delay. Everyone is moving forward and improving their Taoism. Now we must heal our injuries as soon as possible." Shi Hao took out a holy medicine.
Now is not the time to hesitate, even if the holy medicine is rare, it can only be reduced to rations now.
After hitting the divine stone, Huangdie stepped back and said nothing more. He just protected him and watched closely.
A black holy vine more than half a meter long appeared in Shi Hao's hand. All the leaves were dog-shaped. It was the dog-leaf vine. When the leaves moved with the wind, the black light was intense and the bark of a mastiff was emitted.
Shi Hao swallowed the leaves one after another, and his whole body glowed with black light. This was the rolling medicinal essence, which quickly rushed to his limbs and bones, making up for his losses and repairing his injured body.
The holy medicine can revive human flesh and bones, has miraculous effects, and can even nourish the soul.
Shi Hao was changing rapidly, his life aura gradually became more vigorous, his old skin cracked, and he absorbed the essence of heaven and earth on his own, and his whole body gradually swelled.
However, the price was also very high. It took him several days and he consumed half of the holy medicine before the holes in his body healed and he gradually recovered.
If it was any other injury, just take a bite of the holy medicine and it would be cured, but he ended up eating half of the plant!
"You are committing suicide slowly." Dashenshi said. This road is too dangerous. This is just the beginning. It will become more and more difficult in the future.
"That's the way it is to seek a road. Every road has its difficulties and dangers. If it were simple, the most amazing people in history would not die and become useless." Shi Hao sighed.
He did not waste time and began to retreat again to refine himself.
This time, as it faded over time, he added another hundred runic fires to calcine the physical body and soul. The whole body became dry and the injuries became more serious.
Three hundred rays of fire burned away the clouds and enveloped the sky.
When he stopped, Shi Hao swallowed the remaining half of the dog leaf vine in one gulp, and also ate half of the golden grass, which was equivalent to eating the entire holy medicine.
Because the situation is more critical and more medicine is needed to be replenished.
When the four hundred fires were finished burning, Shi Hao swallowed half of the golden grass and a whole desert silver plant. He felt that there was still a slight difference. Finally, he stewed more than a dozen dragons and ate them all, and then his energy was exhausted.
complex.
"It's so scary. The injuries are getting worse and worse, and the consumption is getting more and more severe. Now you have no more holy medicine, and it's exhausted." God-beating Stone said.
The emperor butterfly flew over and gave him a section of the red medicinal plant, only a little was left.
"No need, I still have a Xutian Divine Vine." Shi Hao touched it with a soft smile.
The magical medicine is astonishing. The light emitted by the Xutian Divine Vine is as bright as a platinum sun. It lies dormant in the light group, like a real dragon.
After being burned by five hundred fires, Shi Hao was in terrible decline, but after eating a snow-white leaf, his body crackled and his blood soon boiled.
When the six hundredth ray of fire burned out, Shi Hao ate a leaf and a section of the Xutian Divine Vine and recovered again.
As the fire continued to increase, he felt that he was becoming stronger!
This feeling is wonderful!
After the nine hundred fires burned, when Shi Hao took the Xutian Divine Vine, he saw one picture after another. This was the brand contained in the leaves and vines, and he was petrified on the spot.
"What is that?" His heart was shaken, the picture was so shocking.
"You swear, you won't eat me completely." Xu Tian Shen Teng communicated with him with a special "wave".
Shi Hao nodded and said: "I have said before that it is impossible to let a divine root like yours become extinct. I only took part of the vine leaves to treat my Dao injury."
