For those ordinary age-realm souls, it may not even take tens of thousands of years.
However, this is better than cultivating this unique skill at the expense of destroying the mountain and river map.
"Pluto's Bodyguard!"
Xu Hong shouted low and grabbed hard with his palm. The images of many sacred mountains in the mountain and river map collapsed even faster. They all turned into a thick earth essence, which was poured into Xu Hong along the chains condensed by the power of space.
Even the mountain souls condensed in those sacred mountains are condensed into the essence of the earth and condensed together with Xu Hong's spiritual energy.
The armor condensed on Xu Hong's body became more and more powerful, the aura it exuded was terrifying, the armor's middle lines were densely covered, and its defense power was rising steadily.
Perhaps it was because the essence of the thick earth was mixed with the souls of the sacred mountains that Xu Hong used the Pluto Body Protection Technique to condense the armor into something more spiritual.
On the surface of the armor, in addition to the endless Dao lines, there are also shapes that look like humans but are not human.
These shapes, with their incomparable desolation and eternity, each represent the soul of each sacred mountain, which has been gathered through countless condensations.
"Human and armor unite!"
In the end, Xu Hong absorbed all the essence of the thick soil from the more than 40,000 sacred mountains in the Mountain and River Map, and practiced the Pluto Body Protection Technique.
The armor on his body was thick and boundless, with ancient textures and the shape of the mountain soul, all glowing slightly, like a demon god's armor.
"boom!"
Mr. Yan took action to test the power of the armor condensed from the Pluto Body Protection Technique, and struck out four palms in a row.
The power of the four palms increased in sequence. Under the first three palms, the armor only shook violently, but under the fourth palm, countless cracks opened and there was a danger of falling apart.
"This armor has not yet been condensed to perfection and has not reached the strength of a holy weapon." Mr. Yan made an inference based on the strength of his palm.
"Hmm! I didn't expect that in the Mountain and River Map, there are more than 40,000 spiritual mountains that condense the mountain souls, and the thick earth essence extracted from them has not yet completed my Pluto Body Protection Technique. But it is not far away from that point.
"
Xu Hong's body was filled with spiritual energy, and gray air energy was flowing. The armor that had cracked numerous cracks suddenly returned to its original state, and even the slightest crack was difficult to detect.
This is the magic of this Pluto Body Protection Technique. As long as Xu Hong does not fall, his spiritual energy does not deplete, and the Pluto Body Protection Technique is used, he can continue to condense the armor and maintain it in peak condition.
It would be different if it were a real holy weapon. Although the holy weapon is powerful, once it is broken by someone, it is really broken.
"With my current strength, if I had to rely on myself to practice at night, absorb the energy of the earth, condense the essence of the earth, and practice these unique skills, I am afraid it would take at least hundreds of years to achieve this achievement. This is already considered a success.
A big harvest.”
Xu Hong did not show any disappointment. It was already very good to be able to improve the Pluto Body Protection Technique to this point all at once.
The only regret I have is that I didn't get Fallen Demon Ridge. Otherwise, Xuandu Demonic Phase had condensed his demonic nature, and his combat power would have really increased greatly.
"The Fallen Demon Ridge has fallen into the hands of the clone of Baimo Sanren. I think I can't get it. However, there is a first-level seal in the Xuandu Demon Sword. I don't know if I can use the Xuandu Demon Aspect that I have condensed now.
Open it." Xu Hong murmured to himself.
He has no idea about the Fallen Demon Ridge. Baimo Sanren is a demonic saint, and the clone he condenses is extremely terrifying. His strength is probably not inferior to that of Yan Lao. Even if he wants to snatch it, he will not be able to do it.
.
Even if it was possible, Xu Hong would not dare to take action. After all, after snatching the clone of Baimo Sanren, if he provoked the latter to seek revenge, things would be very bad.
However, Fallen Demon Ridge was temporarily unavailable, but Xu Hong thought of exploring the Xuandu Demon Sword again.
This magic sword is very mysterious. The scriptures that condense the demonic aspects of Xuandu are all obtained from this magic sword. There is also a seal inside, and I don't know what is there.
The last time Xu Hong's Nianjing Sword rushed into the Xuandu Demon Sword, he only gained the secret of how to condense the demonic form in the "Xuandu Demon Sutra". As for the seal, he was powerless.
But now, Xu Hong's condensed demonic phase of Xuandu has matured. Although it has no demonic properties, it can still be given a try.
Whoosh!
Xu Hong took out the Xuandu Demonic Sword, and his body was full of demonic aura, which condensed the Xuandu Demonic Aspect. The sword of thought crystals between his eyebrows flew out and merged into the demonic aspect, and then he threw himself into the demonic knife.
The next moment, Xu Hong's Xuandu Demon Appearance appeared in a void space filled with demonic energy.
The demonic energy here is condensed with the Xuandu Demon Sword and is difficult to extract. Moreover, every ray of demonic energy is pulled by a mysterious force and condensed into textured characters. This is the cultivation method of the Xuandu Demonic Scripture.
Xu Hong's Xuandu Demonic Aspect walked through and ignored these things, because the "Xuandu Demonic Sutra" here was not complete. It only described how to condense the demonic aspect, and he already knew it.
His target is the black stone door-shaped seal deep in this space.
After a while, Xu Hong arrived in front of this black stone door.
The stone door is looming in the infinite demonic energy. At the edge of the door crack, there seems to be wisps of weird textures leaking out, condensing incomplete characters. It is obviously other cultivation methods in the Xuandu Demon Sutra besides condensing the demon phase.
.
But it is a pity that these characters are sealed by a seal. Even if they can escape a little, they are so incomplete that no one can understand them unless the sealed stone door is completely opened to let the scriptures inside flow out completely.
"open!"
Xu Hong's Xuandu Demon Phase moved, using the combined power of six or seven half-saints, he struck hard at the stone gate with a palm.
The stone gate seems real and illusory, and all other attacks can be easily avoided. Even the last time Xu Hong turned his mind crystal sword and pierced it with the power of invisible thoughts, he couldn't do anything about it, as if he hit an empty space.
But at this moment, Xuandu Demon Phase exerted its power, but the stone gate could not avoid it and was hit hard.
The stone door erupted with a shocking loud noise, the surrounding demonic energy sprayed out, and the whole door shook violently. However, the stone door was still not completely blown open, but the door was slightly opened.
The incomplete characters scattered from the cracks in the door are now more complete than before, but they are still not enough.
"This is not enough to completely open this door. Do I need my Xuandu Demonic Phase to have the strength of a saint to completely break the seal?" Xu Hong was shocked in his heart, but he did not stop, controlling the Xuandu Demonic Phase, and continued violently.
attack.
As time went by, the incomplete characters that escaped from the cracks in the stone door became more and more complete, and each of them disappeared into the body of Xuandu Demon Phase.
For a moment, Xu Hong felt the same and discovered that the magic contained in these characters was a kind of demon fighting technique and combat experience.
After Xuandu Demon Phase absorbed these characters, the aura on his body changed. It was like the rebirth of an ancient demon, with a supreme aura of iron-blooded killing and conquering all realms.
In Xu Hong's own mind, scenes of many demonic figures fighting on a boundless battlefield suddenly flashed across his mind.
This battlefield, floating in the endless void, seemed to have no boundaries. The demonic energy inside was soaring into the sky. The aura exuded by each demonic figure was earth-shattering, far exceeding the saints Xu Hong had seen.
These demonic shadows, with a raise of their hands, destroyed the world and shaped the mountains and rivers. When they were fighting, their power was dissipated. In the depths of the sky, stars were bombarded from time to time and came to this battlefield.
"Are these memories of battles and fighting techniques left by the master who refined the Xuandu Demon Sword?" Xu Hong wondered in his heart.
He knew that this Xuandu Demon Sword used to be very powerful, but its essence had been damaged. If it were used as a divine weapon, it would probably lose even one thousandth of its original power.
However, the real value of this magic sword lies in the inheritance of magic scriptures inside it.
The Xuandu Demon Phase continued to attack until no more broken characters were scattered, and then it had to give up, leave the Demon Sword, and join Xu Hong's body.
Xu Hong concentrated on meditation, carefully recalling the incomplete battle scenes, and the whole person fell into deep thought.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was time for the Liu family to hold a sainthood celebration for Prince Xuan.
Liu Ying came again to escort Xu Hong into the imperial city.
The place where this sanctification celebration was held was in the Qianlong Hall within the imperial palace.
All the forces from the three major dynasties all mobilized and gathered there.
"Mr. Xu, after passing this portal, you will find the Thousand Dragons Hall in front of you. As I am, I am not qualified to enter, so I can only send you here."
Liu Ying led Xu Hong to a golden dragon gate, bowed and left.
Xu Hong didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. The people who qualified for the Thousand Dragons Palace this time were all the strongest beings under the saints among all the forces. Liu Ying, a little person at the peak of the saints, naturally could not be arranged to enter.
.
Even if the Liu royal family wants to send someone to entertain them, the last thing they have to do is send people from the Time Realm.
Xu Hong stepped into the Dragon Gate and saw that he appeared in a huge square. However, there was no palace in the square, only dragon-shaped void cracks in the square.
It turns out that the Thousand Dragons Hall, where the sanctification celebration is held, is hidden in the endless depths of the void and does not appear. Those who need to come to congratulate must find it themselves.
This is also equivalent to a test.
If the people who come to congratulate cannot be found at the location of the Thousand Dragons Palace, it means that the strength of the spirit is not strong, and it also means that the power of the spirit being sent is disrespectful to the Liu family's royal family.
Naturally, the Liu royal family will not give you face to let you in.
