Chapter 644
Defeated without a fight
"how is this possible?"
The existence of the soul is doomed from the moment of birth.
Whether it is human beings or monsters, at the beginning of the birth of wisdom, they have souls.
With the acquired practice, swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, and experiencing years of experience, the power of the soul will slowly grow and change like accumulated water forming a sea.
And different from the flashy road to immortality, the strength of the soul source is extremely intuitive and brutal.
——The bigger the stronger!
Big is good; big is wonderful; big is rough and brutal crushing, and it is an insurmountable gap!
For example, the soul source of the sword master who has spied on the fairyland countless times by the nightmare master is a sharp iron sword that pierces the sky and the earth.
But even so, the size of Juggernaut Lord's soul source is still slightly inferior to hers.
Coupled with her own traits of restraining the soul, she can easily crush the Sword Master in terms of the soul.
Not boasting.
But the Nightmare Lord is confident that in the existence of Kunkan Erdao Hundred Fairylands, no one's soul origin can match her.
This is also the fundamental reason why she dared to take risks alone and break into the origin of the sea of consciousness in the south of the Yangtze River.
She believes that no one can beat her on the soul level.
——Even if Jiangnan's soul source is really stronger than her, it is still a human soul after all.
As long as it is a human soul, it will definitely be restrained by him.
However, she didn't realize that she was wrong until this moment!
Indeed, the souls of Jiangnan are the souls of ordinary human beings, without any special miraculous features.
But it's... really big.
Big enough to smooth out all the relationship between restraint and being restrained!
Just like water can put out a fire, but if you pour a pot of water into a raging forest night fire, it will evaporate in an instant!
Today, that is the case.
What the Nightmare Lord felt at this moment was a sense of trembling from the depths of his soul, which had nothing to do with consciousness, thoughts, or whether his heart was tough.
It's purely personality crushing.
It's like the shock that a newborn animal feels when it crawls out of its eggshell and looks up at the starry sky for the first time; it's also like a frog at the bottom of a well jumps out of the rock wall and sees the vast sky beyond the mouth of the well.
Fear, unprecedented fear, uncontrollable fear, rises from the depths of Nightmare Lord's soul!
Invincible!
Do not!
it's not true!
The word "enemy" should be used between the same kind of creatures after all.
But at this moment, the Nightmare Lord really felt that there was a dimensional gap between the extremely huge soul golden body in front of her and her!
Incomparable!
Even when she was taken out of the "cradle" by that majesty, the soul of the "king" she felt was slightly inferior to that of Jiangnan in front of her eyes!
She even doubted... Is this really the level that humans can achieve?
Or, does this kind of desperate and terrifying soul really exist in this world?
At this moment, not to mention attacking, not to mention eroding and obliterating the opponent's soul, just the terrifying aura unconsciously transmitted from the incomparably huge soul gold body made Nightmare's soul feel unspeakably terrible pressure!
Looking at the slumbering Nightmare Lord, the golden body of the soul, which is as towering as the world, is still extremely calm,
"Holy Lord."
It rumbled like thunder and shone like a sky bell, abruptly pulling Lord Nightmare out of the rigidity of fear.She raised her head and looked directly at those eyes that were as vast and merciless as the starry sky, trembling uncontrollably all over her body.
The incomparably huge soul corps that evolved just now had already collapsed under the terrible pressure, and once again the vast purple mist shrouded around the Nightmare Lord.
The huge figure that almost covers the sky and the earth in the outside world, compared with this golden body of the soul, it looks pitifully small.
"My body, is the Holy Master satisfied?" His voice once again echoed in the ears of the Nightmare Holy Master.
"You...what are you...human?" At that moment, as if he was going to bear the terrible pressure of the sky falling, the Lord of Nightmare opened his mouth with difficulty.
At the same time, for the first time in countless years, the Nightmare Lord boiled all his souls!
Taking advantage of the blink of an eye after asking this question, get violent!
But instead of launching an offensive, it was...fleeing!
Following the path from when he came, he turned around like crazy and fled away!
She knows it!
If the stalwart existence in front of him had even the slightest thought of killing, there would be no way for him to survive!
So, run away!
The sooner the better!
The farther the better!
Escape from this... monster!
However, the moment she turned around, an indescribable terrifying pressure suddenly descended!
Nightmare Lord turned his head back with difficulty and stiffly, and met those vast and empty eyes!
——He didn't do anything, just his gaze completely fixed her like a cage!
Like freezing and freezing the void.
"Holy Master, it's not easy to come, so why run away?" A hollow voice sounded from behind the Nightmare Holy Master.
At that moment, she fell into the abyss of despair.
It’s over.
It's all over.
"This Palace...is defeated."
As if he had lost all his strength, the proud Lord of Nightmare spoke dejectedly.
The battle has not really started, and the winner has already been decided.
Lose without fighting.
"I have no complaints about Ben Gong's death, but please let it go...Jian Wushuang."
At the end of what he thought was his life, the vast purple mist trembled and made a voice: "The person who offended you is my palace, but I stopped you to save your life, so... please spare his life... "
While begging, she changed to an honorific title, and because she knew that there was no way out, she gave up all resistance, just wanting to make a way out for the Sword Master outside.
Then, quietly waiting for the end to come.
Jiang Nan didn't respond to her.
He just raised a finger and hung it over the head of Nightmare Lord. For the first time, the majestic golden body of the soul moved.
——At that scene, it was as if a golden sky was hanging above the head.
The Nightmare Lord knows very clearly that if that finger falls, it can easily crush her.
She closed her eyes.
But time passed by minute by minute, and the Nightmare Lord did not wait for her demise in the end.
The finger didn't fall down, what she felt was "drawing away" - the power of her soul was being pulled away little by little.
Wisps of purple mist converged into the palm, and at the same time, the figure of the Nightmare Lord gradually shrank.
She looked blankly at the huge soul golden body, but only heard Jiangnan's voice resounding in the void, "No, you are still useful—especially you, Holy Master, don't think about simply dying like that."
Lord Nightmare was stunned.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the palm of the golden body of the soul was covered with a layer of purple mist, and the original body of the Nightmare Lord had shrunk by nearly [-]%.
She was stunned.
Jiangnan is just extracting her soul power?
However, she could not understand the purpose of doing so.
In comparison, if her soul is a puddle of water, then Jiangnan itself is a mighty vast ocean.
Wang Yang, how could it be possible to draw strength from the puddle?
But in the next moment, she saw the purple mist in the hand of Jiangnan's soul golden body rushing towards the way she came.
It's like adding bricks and tiles, strengthening that incomparably weak connection! !
With the influx of the original power belonging to the Nightmare Lord into the connection between the past and the present, this channel that spans the long river of time becomes more tenacious, more stable, and more able to withstand...powerful power!
The Lord Nightmare stared blankly at Jiangnan's golden soul body, "You... want to let me go?"
Jiang Nan didn't answer directly, but looked at her playfully, and asked, "In the beginning, didn't the Holy Master want Jiang to leave an unforgettable terrifying nightmare?"
The Nightmare Holy Master was silent, and after a long time he let out a long sigh, ashamed to speak.
"But if the Holy Master continues to stay here, I'm afraid I won't need to do it." Jiang Nan shook his head.
Nightmare Holy Master was taken aback for a moment, and she suddenly felt a terrifying repelling force of doubt, coming from all directions like a tide!
——That is not the power of Jiangnan, but another more distant power.
Previously, with full strength, she could still resist this kind of power a little, but she didn't notice it.
But after Jiangnan drew some of her strength and became weak, the feeling of repulsion became clearer.
This is the exclusion of the times.
Just as it is extremely difficult for Jiangnan belonging to the "now" to descend into the "past" era, it is difficult for the Nightmare Lord who belongs to the "past" to survive in the "now" era.
Then, she saw Jiang Nan wave his hand.
In an instant, endless storms swept up from the void, and the weak Nightmare Lord was thrown into the way when she came. Along the reinforced "bridge" that spanned two eras, she was kicked back to her own. era.
In the sea of consciousness in the south of the Yangtze River, the incomparably majestic golden body of the soul looked at the bridge connecting the two eras, let out a long breath, and in the void, a storm filled the sky, and thunder and fire boiled.
And in this sea of consciousness space, Taoism surges like a tide, like a river roaring.
Then, in the sea tide like a roaring wave, a body filled with precious light like jade slowly took shape.
Avatar·Avatar.
In his sea of consciousness space, Jiangnan created a clone with Taoism—not a weak mortal body like when he came to the Southern Heaven Territory, but a real clone with the power of fairyland.
Moreover, it is a clone that can pass through the reinforced "bridge".
"So it's like this..." Dongxian's exclamation echoed in Jiangnan's ears, and she was amazed, "No wonder you let her cross the river of time, so that's the idea..."
"exactly."
Jiang Nan smiled, and with a thought, his consciousness shifted to the clone of the fairyland, and said: "Before, we were able to go to that era that had long been annihilated, thanks to your power, and built a bridge connecting the two eras."
"But just as there is a natural repulsion between two independent worlds, different eras will also resist things that do not belong to their own era."
"The 'past' that belongs to the Kunkan Second Dao will naturally reject me from the 'now', so even if a ray of divine thought can be projected down, the connection between the projection and the real body will be rejected by the 'past', which is quite fragile— — So weak that I have to be careful even when I use a trace of Taoism from 'now'."
"But now, it's different."
Feeling the power of the avatar, Jiang Nan opened and closed his five fingers and slowly shook his head. Although there was still a gap with his full strength, at least he would not be the mortal body of the previous trip.
"The soul of the Lord Nightmare is pure and powerful enough for her to follow my projection and connect with her main body to the 'now'. As a creature of the 'past', she has an aura that belongs to the 'past'. The fusion of soul power on the 'bridge' connecting the two eras can largely resist the exclusion and barriers from the 'past'."
To put it simply, if the "past" of the Kunkan Erdao is compared to a heavily guarded palace, then Jiangnan is an assassin with a knife hidden in his waist and a sword tied in his sleeve. .
However, the arrival of the Lord of Nightmare brings an aura of the "past", which is equivalent to a disguise for Jiangnan. Although he still can't let him be unscrupulous in this palace, at least he doesn't have to walk on eggshells like before. up.
"Although it's far from being able to support my real power, at least I can use my Taoism at the level of the fairyland at will." Jiang Nan said.
"Since when did you have this plan?" Dong Xian was a little curious after hearing this.
"When confronting the Lord of Nightmare." Jiang Nan walked towards the "gate" leading to the second road of Kunkan, "At first, I wanted to take risks and use the power of Taoism to defeat her, but then I realized that Her powerful soul power, and her... pride in being with the soul."
"This kind of pride makes her not simply destroy me when she realizes that I am just a wisp of soul, but will persistently find my true body. As long as she comes to this era, she will achieve her goal."
"So that's how it is." Dong Xian suddenly realized, and was a little puzzled: "But since she saw the real you, why did you let her go like this?"
"Because...she can't die." Jiang Nan's face became serious, "Not only the Nightmare Lord, but also the Sword Master can't die."
"Why?" Dongxian was puzzled.
"Once they die, won't the existence behind them be noticed?" Jiang Jiang shook his head, "Although there should always be a battle in the end, at least now, it's not the time for the black hand behind the scenes to notice us."
"The mastermind behind the scenes?"
"That's right, the man behind the scenes who trapped the Heavenly Evolution Lord in the Tianyan Domain, and let the Sword Master and the Nightmare Lord stop us." Jiang Nan nodded and said:
"After Nightmare Lord uttered those strange words, I'm almost sure—it's the same person, or... two?"
"She said—the Sword Master stopped you from going to Tianwang Peak to save you?" Dongxian tentatively guessed.
"good."
Jiang Nan rubbed his temples, feeling a little headache,
"What she said when she pleaded for the Sword Saint Lord was very strange—the reason why she didn't let us go to Tianwang Peak was to save us?"
"But there are three immortals in our party, including the Holy Lord Huangtian, the Holy Lord Tianyan, and me who defeated that crazy girl. Even if there are barriers in the fairyland, we will not fall behind."
"What's more, after passing through the teleportation formation, you will arrive at Tianwang Peak, a place where two His Majesties sit in charge."
"How dangerous is Tianwang Peak like this?"
At that moment, Dong Xian almost came to her senses. Countless clues were pieced together, pointing to a fact that made one's scalp tingle.
"If that woman didn't lie, the danger can only come from... the King of Kunkan?"
The existence of the soul is doomed from the moment of birth.
