The big trees in this forest block out the sky and are much denser than those in the Death Swamp.
A strange wave emanated from the depths of the woods, calling Xiao Ye, making him walk forward involuntarily.
This forest is very quiet, or rather dead, with not even a single living creature. The dense trees are like a fortress, isolating this place from the Death Swamp into two different worlds.
Xiao Ye's heartbeat quickened, he clenched the flame knife in his hand and walked forward slowly.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ye walked out of the woods, and his eyes suddenly became brighter.
What appeared in front of him was a vast depression, with tree stumps standing in the depression. The ground was cracked and desolate, as if it was an ancient battlefield.
Xiao Ye stepped forward to inspect and found that these tree stumps were left behind by terrifying forces, and looked like a battlefield where two powerful warriors were dueling.
Xiao Ye was horrified in his heart. Among the warriors who have entered the Death Swamp in the past years, there are probably only a few warriors who can make it here, let alone two who meet and then fight.
For example, in addition to the mysterious weapon and map, he was able to get here because of a lot of luck.
"Are there other powerful warriors besides the Sixth Elder who have entered the Death Swamp?" Xiao Ye suppressed the shock in his heart and continued walking towards the front of the depression.
At this time, the strange fluctuations that summoned Xiao Ye became more intense. Xiao Ye's mind tensed up and his eyes swept.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted violently, and he found a cold corpse sitting cross-legged in the center of the depression, with a rotten black robe draped around his body.
This corpse was different from the ones he had found before. The white bones shone with divine brilliance, as if the power of time could not erase it.
Xiao Ye seemed to see another version of himself, going through a tragic battle, and finally turned into a cold corpse, sitting here and dying.
Desperate and unwilling!
From this corpse, Xiao Ye felt these two emotions, allowing his mind to travel back to that tragic battle.
It was a man in black robe, standing in the vast sky and earth.
He danced wildly, his eyes burst out with two rays of divine light, and his whole body was filled with blood, turning into four giant cauldrons suspended above his head, causing the void to vibrate, exuding an aura that suppressed the heavens.
Alone, it seems that I can break through the sky and defeat all nine heavens.
However, his opponent was even more terrifying. It was a hazy shadow shrouded in endless light, standing high in the sky, looking down at the black-robed man indifferently.
boom!
A great war broke out.
The man in black robe raised his head and roared, and the four giant cauldrons came out together, evolving into a supreme attack technique, causing the earth to crack, the river to dry up, and the terrifying power to stir up the nine heavens.
His physical strength is so powerful that he can kill an innate strong man with one punch.
But the hazy figure shrouded in endless light beat the man in black robe with just one palm until he coughed up blood and retreated. His body cracked and the sky was dyed red with blood.
The man in black robe was unwilling to give in and glared at the figure standing in the sky.
boom!
This time, the hazy shadow took the initiative to attack, turning into a palm that covered the sky and suppressed the man in black robe, possessing the momentum to sweep away all opponents.
With this palm shot, it was like destroying the world and destroying the world. All the ferocious beasts below turned into blood mist, swathes of trees collapsed, and the earth was sunken.
The man in black robe reached his peak and unleashed the most powerful attack in his life, but was unable to block the palm. It was like a moth flying into a flame, causing the four cauldrons to shatter and blood to fly everywhere.
The four cauldrons are shattered, and the vitality is gone.
The man in black robe laughed miserably, his face filled with deathly gray. He dragged his broken body and sat down on the desolate battlefield, turning into a cold corpse.
Xiao Ye was like a bystander. After watching this peerless battle, the terrifying power made him tremble.
"The man in black robe is the sixth elder!" Xiao Ye came back to his senses and stared at the corpse.
At this moment, he completely understood that the strange wave that summoned him earlier was emanating from the corpse of the Sixth Elder.
Because they all practiced the Four Tripod Heavenly Skills, they had a special feeling.
"The Sixth Elder did not fall in the gravity area, but here."
Judging from the pictures he saw, the Sixth Elder actually did it. Although his skills were obviously lacking, he went backwards and condensed the power of the Four Cauldrons into his body, which was as strong as the innate limit.
And this battlefield is where the Six Elders fought their last battle.
"Who is the Sixth Elder's opponent? It's too scary." Xiao Ye thought of the hazy shadow high above him, and a turmoil arose in his heart.
With that palm strike, even a strong Xuanwu Realm person might not be able to stop it.
"That...can't be the evil consequence of the Empress mentioned by the Sixth Elder!" Suddenly, this thought flashed through Xiao Ye's mind, and his hair stood on end.
He changed his technique and forced a breakthrough, which offended the empress. He was attacked by the energy generated by the empress' negative emotions and was finally wiped out.
Xiao Ye came up with this explanation on his own. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, how could a strong man who could kill the Sixth Elder easily come to the Swamp of Death and just happen to have a fight with the Sixth Elder?
After a long time, Xiao Ye calmed down.
"I hope that the secret method of the body created by the Sixth Elder can be found in his body." Xiao Ye felt anxious, walked to the body of the Sixth Elder, and reached out to touch it.
Boom!
Xiao Ye's palm touched a hard object in the rotten black robe.
Xiao Ye quickly took it out and found ten finger-thick crystals emitting strange red light. In addition, there was a roll of animal skin.
"What is this?" Xiao Ye couldn't recognize the crystals and turned to look at the roll of animal skin.
This roll of animal skin, like the one in his arms, contains the notes of the Sixth Elder.
"I entered the gravity zone to hone my physical body for two years, and finally took the final step, condensing the physical body into the power of the Four Cauldrons."
"However, this move not only did not create a cause and effect with the Empress, but instead made the Empress' evil effects even more powerful."
"I deeply feel that my chances of survival are slim and I don't want the secret method I created to spread, so I wrote it down specifically in the hope that it can be passed down."
Behind the animal skin, the contents of the secret method are recorded.
"I guessed it right! And it also records a set of powerful physical combat skills!" Xiao Ye suddenly became excited when he thought of the power of the Sixth Elder to activate the four cauldrons and evolve the offensive technique.
That set of physical combat skills was simply prepared for the Four Heavenly Skills. As long as he learned it, his strength would definitely double.
Then he began to study the secret method of the physical body created by the Sixth Elder.
"The Sixth Elder is really a learned man who can create such a secret method." After reading it, Xiao Ye said with emotion, full of admiration for the Sixth Elder.
"These crystals, called Blood Luo Crystals, are a kind of natural treasure. As long as they are integrated into the body, the power of the two cauldrons can be quickly condensed."
"The Sixth Elder specially collected these ten in order to achieve a breakthrough. He used the remaining ten. Now it has helped me." Xiao Ye played with the Blood Crystal in his hand.
Kaka!
Suddenly, the sixth elder's corpse suddenly shook and then shattered with a bang.
No strong person can withstand the power of time, and will turn into dust after death.
Xiao Ye sighed softly and was about to step forward to bury the remains of the Sixth Elder in the ground.
Sudden--
boom!
An extremely terrifying pressure suddenly appeared and swept across the entire Death Swamp.
At this moment, the situation changed and the world was in turmoil.
The ferocious beast, which was still very active at first, had a look of panic in its eyes. It looked towards the direction of the woods in fear, and then lay on the ground, trembling.
Bang!
Xiao Yequn was caught off guard and was suddenly pushed to the ground, unable to move at all, and even breathing became very difficult.
A figure shrouded in endless light stepped out from the broken corpse of the Sixth Elder and came to the sky, looking down at Xiao Ye indifferently.
"The evil consequences of the Empress!" Xiao Ye was horrified and dumbfounded.
The empress is majestic and must not be offended!
Even though it has been twenty years since the Sixth Elder died, the evil effects of the Empress have still not dissipated.
"What should I do?" Xiao Ye was extremely nervous. The Empress wanted to kill him. I'm afraid just one thought was enough, not to mention that he couldn't move now.
Could it be that he had just obtained the secret method of the Sixth Elder and was about to die here?
The figure shrouded in endless light looked down at Xiao Ye for a long time, and finally seemed to give up. He took a step forward and disappeared between heaven and earth, as if he had never appeared before.
"It's too scary." Xiao Ye got up with lingering fear, his face pale.
It was the Sixth Elder who caused evil consequences with the Empress, so they didn't take action against him, otherwise no one would be able to save him.
That scene was too real. Although it was just the energy generated by the Empress's negative emotions, it was as if the Empress was present in person, exuding the power of the Great Emperor.
"That realm is too far away from me. It's more important for me to improve my physical strength now."
Xiao Ye suppressed the shock in his heart, then dug a big hole, put the broken corpse of the Sixth Elder in it, filled it with soil, and made a simple tombstone with trees.
"Sixth Elder, I would like to thank you for your kindness in secret." Xiao Ye bowed deeply.
After doing all this, Xiao Ye picked up a blood crystal.
"As long as my physical body can break through to the power of two tripods, I can stand at the pinnacle of the inner disciples! If I can break through to the power of three tripods, Zhao Qian will not be my opponent!" A glint flashed in Xiao Ye's eyes.
.
He will not forget the situation when Zhao Qian forcibly changed the outcome of the trial in the trial hall.
If he does not have enough strength, even if he returns to the sect now, he will definitely face such an ending again.
"Zhao Qian, I will settle the old and new grudges with you." Xiao Ye picked up a blood crystal and placed it flat in the palm of his hand according to the method recorded by the Sixth Elder.
boom!
Suddenly, a powerful torrent of energy emerged from the blood crystal and traveled around Xiao Ye's body.
"ah!"
Xiao Ye's body trembled, and the energy of the Xueluo Crystal seemed like knives, cutting his body.
This kind of pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow and soul, causing Xiao Ye to gasp in pain and almost fainted.
Blood crystals forcibly increase the strength of the physical body. This is a retrograde move, and of course it will be very painful.
"No! I must persevere! How can I defeat Zhao Qian if I can't bear this pain!" Xiao Ye gritted his teeth, and a trace of blood seeped out between his teeth because of his strength.
Tsk tsk tsk!
The energy of the blood crystal is transforming Xiao Ye's physical body, and the power of the physical body is increasing every moment.
