Chapter 3876 Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots
Xiao Yi's body was frozen in place, watching the golden needles flying towards him.
No matter what he did, he couldn't move his body at all. He seemed to be fixed here. The first golden needle pierced his eye.
One eye was blinded instantly, and the pain spread all over his body. Xiao Yi roared, and the golden needles pierced Xiao Yi's whole body like bullets shot from a gun.
His eyes, limbs, chest, and brain, each golden needle exploded immediately when it pierced his body, trying to tear Xiao Yi into pieces. Xiao Yi felt his arms destroyed, followed by his legs.
It was broken down bit by bit, dissipated bit by bit. This experience reminded him of the method his master taught him to cultivate the power of the soul, and he was thrown into a stone mill and crushed himself bit by bit.
Until his body was completely shattered, he seemed to have entered a wonderful world, and saw his body turned into fragments all over the ground. A breeze blew, and the fragments were blown away by the wind.
"Am I... completely destroyed?"
The fragments were shrinking, and Xiao Yi felt that his consciousness was slowly dissipating.
Xue Yaoyue in the outside world could only see Xiao Yi staying in the same place at this moment, without any movement, and standing there without feeling any life, as if everything was frozen there.
What happened, she couldn't go forward to check at this moment, she clenched her fists, unable to go forward to help, hoping that Xiao Yi could get through this difficult time safely, if Xiao Yi had an accident, she couldn't live alone in this world.
"Xiao Yi, you must be safe!"
Even the figure beside Xiao Yi was worried about Xiao Yi at this moment, could it be that he really failed this time?
Facing this fallen strong man, he couldn't survive this level after all. Maybe he shouldn't have said what he said before, and let Xiao Yi choose to give up as soon as possible, so that this situation would not happen.
Xiao Yi's consciousness became blurred, and the pain was nothing to him. He believed that he could pass the test of this level, but he never thought that it would end like this.
"Do I really have no chance?"
A feeling of unwillingness surged deep in his heart. At this moment, his body, which was about to dissipate, was blocked by an invisible force.
The fragments of the body were rearranged one by one. Xiao Yi saw his bones regenerated, and his blood spread like tree roots, covering his bones, and then his muscles grew.
Witnessing his rebirth, his consciousness, which was about to dissipate, became clear again. When he was wondering what was going on, his Dantian started to operate on its own, and the majestic power poured into his soul power, and the two merged together.
"This is... the air of the wild!"
Xiao Yi remembered that before, after he refined the wild air in his body, this breath had always existed in his body, and had not been completely transformed, and was entangled in his Dantian.
Now that he encountered a crisis, the wild air appeared again to repair Xiao Yi's damaged soul. He witnessed with his own eyes that a new self was born.
"Is it a blessing in disguise?"
The consciousness sank into the body again, and Xiao Yi gradually woke up. When he woke up, he found that he had been standing in the same place and had never moved a step.
What happened just now was the tempering of the power of the soul. The pressure from the strong man crushed Xiao Yi's power of the soul. Any ordinary practitioner would definitely not be able to pass this level.
Xiao Yi had already gotten used to such pain because of his strong power of soul, and the method of cultivation taught by Zixu, so for Xiao Yi, such tempering was nothing special.
On the contrary, because the power of the soul was crushed, it triggered the wild energy in his body, which not only helped him to overcome the difficulties, but also allowed Xiao Yi's power of the soul to break through to the Xuan level.
The most obvious place to feel the change of the power of the soul was that when Xiao Yi stood in front of this strong man, the huge pressure from the strong man disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
"Congratulations, kid, the power of the soul has successfully advanced to the Xuan level. After reaching the Xuan level, the soul pressure of the strong man at the same level has lost its effect on you."
Zixu said excitedly, thinking that Xiao Yi's luck was also very good. Whenever he encountered difficulties, he would have another harvest, and this time was even more so.
"Thanks to the method you taught me, Master, I was able to adapt to this kind of training in advance. Otherwise, I might not be able to survive."
"It was also your persistence that finally paid off. Now this strong man has the same spiritual power as you. You can walk over with confidence."
Xiao Yi came back to his senses. After the pressure of the soul disappeared, he felt much more relaxed. The remaining two stone slabs were no longer an obstacle.
Now he stood at the same position as the strong man in front of him. Xiao Yi found that the eyes of the strong man seemed to have changed. He was no longer arrogant as before.
"You are just a fallen person after all. No matter what kind of difficulties you face, you can't stop a living person."
Xiao Yi stood in front of the strong man, and Xue Yaoyue behind him was relieved. As Xiao Yi passed smoothly, the strong man's spiritual pressure disappeared instantly.
Feeling relaxed all over, Xue Yaoyue followed behind Xiao Yi and looked at the old man sitting cross-legged on a cushion. He couldn't imagine that this person had lived for nearly four hundred years.
"He is already dead, and all that remains is the pressure of his soul. The purpose is to prevent anyone from disturbing his residence."
Xiao Yi explained that although he passed successfully now and was almost killed by the pressure of the soul before, Xiao Yi will abide by the rules set by the master of this place and will never do anything unnecessary.
"So it turns out that after living for such a long time, there is no way to escape the laws of this world. Is this the same for our future ending?"
There was a trace of sadness in Xue Yaoyue's eyes. No matter who saw such a scene, they would feel something in their heart.
"Who knows about such things, but you have to find your own way after all. I don't believe in the so-called destiny, I only believe that man can conquer nature."
Xiao Yi walked up to the body of the strong man and bowed respectfully. There is a saying that the deceased is the greatest. This can be regarded as a kind of respect for him.
As for what his future will be like, let time verify it. Neither accept fate nor believe in fate. This is Xiao Yi's principle.
"No matter how glorious you are when you are angry, you will end up falling after all. The fallen leaves return to their roots and their souls return to the earth. I will send you on your last journey."
Xiao Yi took out a lighter, lit a bunch of flames, and fell on the corpse. In an instant, a fire ignited, swallowing the strong man's body.
