There was a loud "dong" sound, and the entire bronze hall was shaking violently.

Damn it, couldn't it be an earthquake? Ding Ning's eyes were fixed on the Nine Dragon Cauldron. He had to find a way to get rid of this alchemy furnace.

Unfortunately, before he could take any actual action, the Nine Dragon Cauldron flew up on its own and fell into the hands of a stone sculpture that just appeared from nowhere.

Ding Ning swallowed hard and looked at this huge stone sculpture with eight legs, three heads and six arms, a bronze head and an iron forehead, invulnerable, holding a knife, an axe, and a spear, with a flattering smile on his face, and said coquettishly: "

Ancestor Chi You, I was just joking, haha, just kidding."

The statue of Chi You in front of me is more than ten feet high. His eight legs make him move as fast as a ghost. There are three blurry faces with no expression at all. Six hands hold a knife that is more than three feet long.

The ax and the sword were full of killing intent, making Ding Ning believe that he was definitely not an opponent of the same level as it. The previous stone sculptures could be easily smashed into pieces in front of it.

The statue of Chi You stood quietly, seeming to be looking at him, but also not looking at anything. The terrifying pressure made the air freeze. Ding Ning was oppressed and couldn't breathe smoothly, and big drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Finally, Chi You's statue moved. He stretched out his hand and the mermaid suddenly detached from Ding Ning's left arm and flew into Chi You's huge palm without any resistance. He tilted his head and looked at it curiously while still talking about it.

Blowing bubbles.

Ding Ning's muscles all over his body were tense and his back was soaked with sweat. He stared closely at the Chi You statue. Luoxue and Kong Yi were both in the mermaid's space. This Chi You statue wouldn't crush the mermaid into pieces, right?

Luoxue and Kongyi would never be spared, so he was ready to take action even though he knew he was defeated.

Fortunately, the statue of Chi You did not attack the mermaid, but opened and closed its three mouths, making dry and weird syllables.

The mermaid kept blowing bubbles from its mouth, seeming to be communicating with the Chi You statue in a unique language.

Ding Ning was shocked, with a look of horror in his eyes. This statue could actually speak. Could it be that it was not a statue, but a totem of the God of War?

The Jiuli tribe is divided into nine tribes, each tribe has its own totem, which everyone considers to be the nine major totems.

But the message Xuanji passed to him told him that in fact, the Jiuli tribe had ten totems, and the strongest totem was Chi You's God of War totem.

It’s just that I don’t know whether Chi You created the God of War totem in his own image or transformed himself into the God of War totem. This is a puzzle that no one can know the answer to except Chi You himself.

In real history, after the Yan-Huang tribe alliance killed Chi You, because the political power was unstable and the world was in chaos, the Yellow Emperor painted Chi You's image on the military flag to intimidate the world.

Everyone in the world thought that Chi You was immortal and that no one dared to challenge him wherever he went, so "all the countries in all directions were conquered." This shows how famous Chi You is as a war god!

After Ding Ning watched Chi You's statue and the mermaid communicate, he reached out and inserted the giant knife in his hand into the ground. He turned his eyes to him, stretched out his finger, and a golden light shot into the stone figure.

The stone man suddenly emitted red and orange light and shined directly into Ding Ning's mind. A golden foil circled in his mind, with several ancient and mysterious characters engraved on it.

What kind of font is this? Why have I never seen it before? It's not Oracle or cuneiform. Anyway, Ding Ning has never seen this kind of font. He doesn't even know if it's text, let alone interpret it.

When he raised his head and was about to ask what it was, he discovered that the God of War Totem had disappeared with the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

No matter what, let's get the Soul-Slaying Knife and cut off the Demon-Sealing Chain first. Ding Ning stepped forward, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands and lifted it...

It was so embarrassing that there was no reaction. How heavy was this soul-killing sword? Ding Ning poured all his strength into his arms with some disbelief, even exerting all his strength to suck milk. He shouted in a low voice, "Get up!"

...still can't lift it.

Ding Ning blushed. It turned out that with the strength of an underage warrior from the Wu clan, he couldn't even lift Chi You's weapon. Now he was very embarrassed.

Especially the mermaid was wagging its tail, blowing bubbles, tilting her head and looking at him curiously, as if asking him why he didn't take away the knife yet, which made him feel embarrassed.

It shouldn't be. Since the God of War Totem left the knife to him, he must have thought that he was strong enough to pick up the knife. Why couldn't he lift it?

Ding Ning's mind was spinning rapidly. Soul-cutting knife, soul-cutting knife, is it a knife that requires a soul to hold it?

Thinking of this, Ding Ning gave the order to the Double-Faced Buddha. The Black-Faced Buddha suddenly moved. The soul-cutting knife shook slightly and appeared in his hand with a squeaking sound, as if it had no weight at all.

Ding Ning breathed a sigh of relief, as expected, this is the sword used by the soul, no wonder it can kill souls.

The mermaid blew bubbles, suddenly opened her huge mouth, and swallowed eighteen stone puppets in one gulp, wandering around Ding Ning with a look on her face that said please praise me quickly.

Ding Ning was overjoyed. Looking at the empty bronze hall, he gave a thumbs up to the mermaid in admiration.

The mermaid grinned proudly, wagging his tail and turning it back into a tattoo on his left arm.

Ding Ning took a deep look at the Bronze Hall, turned around and left resolutely. As he stepped out of the Bronze Hall, the two bronze doors closed on their own.

"Boom!"

As the door closed, the whole space was in a trance, and he felt top-heavy. Ding Ning felt that his eyes were blurred, and he had appeared on a deserted island.

After coming out, he had been in the secret realm for about three days. Breathing the salty and humid air brought by the sea breeze, Ding Ning estimated the time and felt like he was suddenly separated from the rest of the world.

"Puff!"

The mermaid happily spit out the ice coffin and falling snow, flying them in the air.

Ding Ning wielded the sword with a god and shouted: "Cut!"

The soul-killing knife suddenly came out, and slashed hard at the demon chain with terrifying power. A dazzling light suddenly lit up on the demon chain, and countless obscure symbols flashed straight into the sky.

There were no sparks of gold and iron flying, only a faint "pop" sound, the light of the demon chain suddenly dimmed, and it fell from the ice coffin to the ground.

At the same time, a shadow of an iron chain suddenly appeared in the light in Ding Ning's mind, merging with the demon chain on the ground.

Just when Ding Ning thought it was over and reached out to grab the demon chain, the chain suddenly ignited with white flames and rushed directly to his mind along Ding Ning's arm.

"Ah!" Ding Ning let out a shrill scream.

The moment the white flames entered his body, an extremely terrifying gloomy chill made him feel as if he had fallen into the Nine Nether Hell, as if even his flesh and blood had been frozen. There was obviously black frost on his skin, but his heart was

It was as if there was a fire burning, this mixture of ice and fire, and the extremely contradictory pain made his whole body twitch, and he fell to the ground and rolled around.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Ding Luoxue shouted in shock, and bent down to help Ding Ning up. However, before her hands touched Ding Ning, a gloomy coldness made her shiver, and the blood in her body coagulated, and she stood stiffly on the spot.

"Don't touch me!"

Ding Ning's face turned black, his eyes were as red as blood, and veins popped up on his forehead. He shouted loudly at Luoxue, mustered up his remaining strength and ran towards the sea.

After Ding Ning left for half a day, Luoxue stood up shivering, her blood slowly started to circulate again, and her body temperature gradually increased.

But his joints were still stiff, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were black, and his eyes showed fear. Looking at the direction Ding Ning was leaving, he couldn't help crying.

She didn't even touch Ding Ning and turned into what she was now. What kind of pain would Ding Ning suffer? This worried her endlessly.

With a "pop", Ding Ning jumped into the sea. Although the flesh and blood in his body was almost frozen, his internal organs were burning, making his mouth dry and his brain muddy, so he subconsciously jumped into the sea.

What he didn't know was that a thick layer of ice had strangely formed where he jumped into the sea, and it was still spreading to the distance. As time went by, he didn't know if the entire sea surface would be covered with ice.

All turned into ice.

Ding Ning continued to sink, his consciousness became increasingly blurred, and the two-faced Buddha in the sea of ​​​​consciousness started a battle with the white flames.

The black fire, the white fire, and the golden Buddha's light were all fighting, but it made Ding Ning miserable. It was even more painful than the previous training in the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

As he continued to dive, transparent ice crystals formed everywhere he passed, and the sea creatures that could not be avoided were instantly frozen in the ice, just like the underwater world in an aquarium.

What should I do? What should I do? Ding Ning felt like an iceman at this moment, with a biting chill exuding all over his body. His heart was in a state of panic, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

At this moment, the Double-Faced Buddha has been retreating steadily under the attack of the Nine Netherworld Fire. If he can't think of a way, he will definitely die. After all, the Double-Faced Buddha is his "god", representing his will and soul, and he must not lose anything.

Suddenly, he remembered what Xuan Ji had said before. Although the Nine Netherworld Fire made her soul suffer painful torture all the time, it was not without any benefits to the soul. As long as she could endure it without dying, it would make her soul more energetic.

Pure condensation.

However, Xuanji is a strong person at the eighth level of the Holy Martial Realm. Her soul is far beyond his own. If she can bear it, can he bear it?

But now, he has no way out. If he continues to hold on until the soul power is exhausted, he will die.

It seemed that he had no choice but to give it a try. After all, although his soul was not as condensed as Xuanji's, the invading Nine Netherworld Fire was far less than the quantity in Xuanji's body. It was only a small wisp.

After struggling, a ruthless look flashed in Ding Ning's eyes, and he controlled the Double-Faced Buddha in his mind not to resist, letting the Nine Netherworld Fire wrap around the Double-Faced Buddha and burn it fiercely.

The pain was worse than during physical training. Ding Ning felt that his head was no longer his. The pain was as if someone had opened his skull and set his brain on fire. He wanted to faint immediately.

But he knew that he couldn't faint. If he fainted, he would be completely finished. He had to bear the pain soberly in order to survive and get the maximum benefit from it.

This small wisp of Nine Netherworld Fire is different from the Nine Netherworld Fire that has a mission in Xuanji's body. It has no independent consciousness and is not locked into Ding Ning's soul. Sooner or later, it will be exhausted.

This is a competition of wills and a protracted battle of souls. It depends on whether Ding Ning can persevere until the end.

The mermaid bubbled anxiously. The sea is its home court, but the only thing it can do now is to make Ding Ning have a beard like the one on the ground. Otherwise, Ding Ning will drown before he can defeat the Nine Netherworld Fire.

Ding Ning allowed the Nine Netherworld Fire to burn his soul, and ran the "God Refining Art" regardless of it, replenishing "nutrients" for his soul at all times. Otherwise, if he could not keep up with the speed at which the soul was burned and consumed, he would be dead.

It has to be said that it was a very wise thing for Ding Ning to jump into the sea. With the help of the Tianshui Totem, he lost the threat of suffocation. Running the "God Refining Art" in this unpolluted deep sea, he can cultivate his spiritual power faster than
