Chapter 723 The Tao Becomes a Heavenly Tribulation
As Lin Ji finished speaking, the phantom of the giant sword headed straight for Dong Yichuan.
Although it was a shadow, a strong wind still blew up, making the clothes on the people present rustle.
Dong Yichuan, who was the first to bear the brunt, sneered.
"Use Yuan Shen sword skills to deal with me? Lin Ji, you are just in the early stages of entering Taoism, but you also want to compete with me in Yuan Shen's methods?"
Dong Yichuan's body suddenly shone brightly, and the golden light was many times more intense and brilliant than the golden light around Lin Ji's soul.
This is the soul of the monk in the state of harmony, and also the soul of the Taoist state.
The gigantic giant sword that was supposed to be invincible, the Sheshen Sword that belonged to the top inheritance of the Three Saint Cave Human Saints, finally lost the power it should have had in front of Dong Yichuan's Taoist Realm Yuanshen.
In the eyes of everyone, Dong Yichuan did not resist and allowed the shadow of the giant sword to fall on him. Then the giant sword suddenly collapsed, but he was unscathed.
"Haha, what's so funny?!"
Before Dong Yichuan could utter his mocking words, he suddenly felt extremely frightened in his heart.
He pulled away without thinking, and at the same time looked down. Then he saw the dark sword with a strange light coming straight towards him.
Dong Yichuan's expression suddenly changed.
Of the three Taoists present, the only one he really feared was Shen Long, or in other words, the Taoist Zhan Dao in Shen Long's hand.
"Shen Long! You are looking for death!" Dong Yichuan screamed.
I can't help it, it's too close.
Whether it was Zi Qing or Lin Ji's previous methods, they were all used at an extremely long distance. Although the power was not reduced, it finally left Dong Yichuan time to prepare.
And Shen Long, who he had been guarding all the time, was right below him. He had always been on guard before, so Shen Long naturally did not dare to take action.
But just now Zi Qing and Lin Ji's successive attacks distracted Dong Yichuan, and at this moment, it was Shen Long who seized this opportunity.
"I will die if I take action, why are you talking about this nonsense?!"
I saw Shen Long smiling ferociously, and with a knife without any fanfare, he struck the translucent Dong Yichuan hard.
The knife fell, but the blade stopped less than an inch away from Dong Yichuan.
That is the white flame of the path of purification entangled with the path of cutting, resisting it.
It can be seen that the white flames are constantly eroding the Zhan Dao, trying to completely erase it, and the black light above the Zhan Dao is also constantly eliminating the power of purification.
Suddenly, Dong Yichuan's face became extremely ugly.
Although he was not harmed at this moment, the way of purification even had the upper hand.
However, while he was still in the state of combining his body with the Tao, he already felt the pressure of the Tao Realm Heavenly Tribulation above his head. There were countless mysterious and mysterious things in his mind that he could not understand but must understand.
This is his path to enlightenment, and it is a path that must not be distracted.
At this moment, Shen Long slashed with a broadsword, which had already distracted him for the most part.
If he continues like this, even if he kills Shen Long, even if he leaves behind the two You Tianguan who are eyeing him in the distance, his end will be certain.
"Shen Long, do you really want to die with me?!"
The ferocious smile on Shen Long's face became even more serious.
"Otherwise? Dong Yichuan, can you tell me the rules?"
"If you run away now, I will never kill you. I swear by my Taoist heart!"
Without waiting for Shen Long's response, Dong Yichuan hurriedly said: "It's not just you. No matter whether I succeed or fail this time, I will never embarrass you and the other three in the future!"
This oath even took into account Lin Ji and Zi Qing in the distance. Dong Yichuan was really pushed to the edge of the cliff and had to give in.
Shen Long hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously turned back and looked at his two colleagues who were already closer.
He saw Zi Qing nod slightly and then looked at Lin Ji.
"Run, what are you waiting for?" Lin Ji was much more straightforward.
Hearing this, Shen Long no longer hesitated and withdrew his sword with a roar.
At the moment when Zhan Dao and Holy Fire were angry, his originally burly body shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and returned to its original shape a moment later.
As he rushed towards Lin Ji and Zi Qing, there were a few more wrinkles on his face and his hair became a bit grayer.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji understood.
When Shen Long came closer, he said: "Master Shen's slashing will also consume his lifespan?"
"Thank you for your help." Shen Long first put the sword behind his back and bowed his hands in salute, then nodded and said, "The first master of this cutting path was a former great master of the Dao Cheng Realm, which is equivalent to the Dao Tu of the Dao Cheng Realm. There is always a price to pay for activating its power."
Shen Long smiled bitterly and said: "The last master of this Dao of Killing was Qin Zheng, the old man of the Qin family. It was because of the backlash of this broadsword that he, who was originally a genius, could not achieve Dao in his whole life. That person entered the Dao after seven calamities. .”
"There are gains and there are losses, and you have to grasp the balance yourself." Zi Qing reminded.
Shen Long nodded, turned around and looked into the distance. Above the deep valley of clouds, Dong Yichuan's body was almost submerged in the dark clouds.
"Can he really succeed? We have just joined forces to interfere with him, but at this time he still shows no sign of decline." Lin Ji felt a little unsure, "If he really succeeds, wouldn't it be that we made him a wedding dress this time?" ?”
"Probably. No." Shen Long was also unsure.
Zi Qing on the side was also shaking her head slightly.
The reason in their hearts told the three of them that the chance of success in such a hasty combination of body and Tao was very low.
But at this moment, the figure wrapped in silver-white flames in the sky did give the three of them enough pressure, the pressure of a true Taoist state.
"It is not that simple to match the body with the Tao." Shen Long said in a low voice, "After entering the later stage of Taoism, you will have a premonition and get the attention of God. This is the monks fighting for power with the way of heaven."
"The way of heaven is all the rules in the world, and the great avenues are the embodiment of the rules. However, when monks go against the will of heaven, when they enter the Tao, they are competing with the way of heaven for authority."
"Heaven is ruthless, so it will not deliberately target the monks who enter the Tao. It will only bring disasters when they enter the Tao. But it is different when the Tao is achieved. Every Tao-achieving monk has become the true continuation of the Tao and represents the world under the Tao. A certain kind of rule, the difficulty of which is far beyond the calamity when entering the Tao."
This was the first time Lin Ji heard these words, but he was still far away from the late stage of Taoism, so he just kept them in mind and did not ask in detail.
"So what happens next?"
"If he, Dong Yichuan, could understand all the ways of purification, the dark clouds in the sky would turn into heavenly tribulations of the realm of Taoism, which are the tribulations of the way of purification."
"The catastrophe of the way of purification?"
Shen Long nodded slightly.
"If you want to replace the original way of purification, you have to be more powerful than the original one. Therefore, the heavenly tribulation in the Taoist realm is actually a contest between the Taoist and the rules of heaven to replace it."
Just then, it suddenly dawned.
Lin Ji and the three of them widened their eyes almost at the same time.
They felt the power of purification that filled the sky and covered almost everything they could perceive.
Lin Ji suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Long, only to see that Shen Long was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.
