Chapter 1643: The Door Panel and the Stone Tablet
Lan Yutian stared blankly at this bizarre place. The Ultimate Void was like an invisible giant beast, tossing everything it couldn't digest into this place!
"This flesh-and-blood pagoda probably couldn't be digested by it either, so it got thrown here along with everything else."
He blinked, thinking to himself, "What exactly is this place? Where in the Ultimate Void is it located?"
The Ultimate Void only contained the Great Luo Heavens of those who had achieved enlightenment, and each Great Luo Heaven wasn't in a fixed position. Finding their current location was incredibly difficult.
The dumping ground of the Ultimate Void was vast. The flesh-and-blood pagoda drifted silently. After an unknown amount of time and encountering countless bizarre objects, Lan Yutian saw another strange thing floating past from outside.
It was a doorway.
Or rather, a door frame, because the door panel was missing.
Lan Yutian looked through the door frame and was startled. Behind the door frame wasn't the Ultimate Void, but countless stone tablets standing upright!
These stone tablets were identical to the incredibly smooth one he had encountered earlier!
But the tablets were facing away from him, so he couldn't see if there were any words on the front!
"Could that stone tablet have floated out from here? Then where did the door panel go?"
As he was pondering, Qin Mu's voice suddenly came through: "Little brother, I've figured out how to deal with the Hongmeng Dao Transformation technique!"
Lan Yutian's heart leaped with joy. He saw the Hongmeng primordial energy shrouding Qin Mu's eye surge and flow back into it!
Immediately, centered on that eye, Qin Mu's flesh and blood began to grow, quickly forming his head!
Qin Mu's head opened its three eyes, purple energy swirling and churning within them, revealing an expression of excitement!
At the same time, countless Dao chains inside the flesh-and-blood pagoda blazed with light. The power of the Dao chains erupted, suppressing the Hongmeng primordial energy and blasting toward him!
This flesh-and-blood pagoda contained the Hongmeng Dao Transformation technique, designed to revert him to a state of Hongmeng primordial energy, preventing his resurrection!
Qin Mu laughed heartily, letting these Dao chain techniques strike his body without harming him in the slightest. Instead, beams of purple light shot from his three eyes, severing three nearby flesh-and-blood Dao chains!
But strangely, the severed flesh-and-blood Dao chains immediately regenerated. This Hongmeng Dao Transformation technique was like a living technique, combining the Hongmeng runes of the Miluo Palace Master, turning the technique into a living entity capable of self-growth and self-repair!
This was the first time Qin Mu had encountered such a bizarre technique, and he was startled.
Below his head, a neck grew, followed by shoulders, a chest, arms, and his waist was also forming on its own!
Qin Mu raised his hand, and the Calamity Sword flew out from his glabella, piercing straight through the pagoda. He severed one Dao chain, causing the Dao patterns composing it to annihilate, sending flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
Just then, a gust of cold, desolate wind blew, striking the pagoda and causing its outer layer to begin dissolving.
The pagoda spun and roared toward the outskirts of this dumping ground.
The Ultimate Void was extremely strange. Things that couldn't be void-ified would be sent to this filthy place by the cold wind, but things that could be void-ified would be sent out.
Qin Mu's earlier strike had damaged the flesh-and-blood pagoda, greatly reducing its self-defense power. It began to void-ify, and so the pagoda was swept away from this dumping ground by the cold wind.
Unaware of this, Qin Mu accelerated his absorption of the Hongmeng purple energy while trying to devour and refine the power of the Hongmeng Dao Transformation. He said in a low voice, "Little brother, the cold wind is about to blow into the pagoda. Your cultivation isn't enough. Hide in my eye and be careful!"
The cold wind swept over Qin Mu's body, flattening his flesh and almost breaking it down into countless particles.
Qin Mu activated his improved Overlord Body Three Dan Technique, forcibly stabilizing his body to resist this terrifying force.
He could barely withstand the cold wind of the Ultimate Void, but the wind was pervasive. He was also worried it might blow into his glabella eye, harming the people inside.
Inside his eye were not only Lan Yutian and the Heavenly Demon King Dutian, but also hundreds of millions of Yan Kang citizens, gods, and demons. If the cold wind blew in, all of them would likely turn into nothingness in an instant, ceasing to exist!
Dying here meant even their souls would turn to nothing, with no way to summon them back.
Lan Yutian quickly told the Heavenly Demon King Dutian to hide inside the Gourd Heaven Bottle. After thinking it over, he didn't follow Dutian into the bottle. If the cold wind blew into Qin Mu's glabella eye, even the Gourd Heaven Bottle couldn't protect everyone. This minor heaven would soon be turned into void, and everyone inside would die.
Although his strength wasn't as great as Qin Mu's, it was still considerable. His Dao techniques and divine abilities were profound and exquisite. He planned to stay outside to protect the Gourd Heaven Bottle.
Qin Mu's body was still growing rapidly as he activated the Overlord Body Three Dan Technique. When the cold wind blew, his body, composed of Hongmeng primordial energy transformed into Hongmeng runes, remained completely still!
No matter how the cold wind tugged, it couldn't turn his body into nothingness.
However, the Hongmeng Dao Transformation technique within the flesh-and-blood pagoda also attacked simultaneously. Resisting both forces at once increased his pressure!
"I need to grow my body quickly, or I won't be able to handle this situation!"
Qin Mu activated the Hongmeng primordial energy, and the power of the Calamity Sword surged instantly. Although his body wasn't fully restored yet, the power of his sword Dao techniques was even greater than before, surprising and delighting him.
The Dao chains of this flesh-and-blood pagoda collapsed faster, breaking down into Dao patterns. But this technique was designed by the Third Young Master to counter him, and he couldn't completely break it in a short time.
Finally, Qin Mu grew two legs, but only up to the thighs before the Hongmeng primordial energy ran out!
Qin Mu's three eyes widened, and he shouted, "Little brother, my Hongmeng primordial energy is gone! I haven't grown the rest of my legs or my primordial spirit! What do I do?"
Lan Yutian, inside his glabella eye, was warily scanning the surroundings, guarding against the cold wind's invasion. Hearing this, he quickly said, "You used Hongmeng primordial energy to reshape your body, which is far superior to your old one, so the consumption is huge. But don't worry. There's a chaotic mineral vein in the Ancestral Land. Absorb the chaotic energy there, and you can grow the rest!"
Qin Mu was exasperated. Lan Yutian was also unreliable. Distant water couldn't put out a nearby fire. Although the chaotic energy in the Ancestral Land's mineral vein was abundant, how could he fly there now?
Moreover, converting chaotic energy into Hongmeng purple energy didn't seem easy.
Lan Yutian might know how to do it, but learning from him would take considerable time.
Boom!
The top floor of the flesh-and-blood pagoda collapsed. Countless Dao chains, carrying flesh and blood, swept toward him like incredibly thick arms!
Qin Mu wielded his sword, desperately blocking, severing Dao chains one after another. He tried to refine the Hongmeng Dao Transformation technique, hoping to extract some Hongmeng energy from the pagoda.
But the Hongmeng Dao Transformation technique, created by the Third Young Master of the Miluo Palace specifically to counter him, was even stranger—a self-repairing living technique that made refining it slow.
He was now using Hongmeng energy to evolve his primordial spirit, but the conversion was slow, and the cold wind was getting fiercer. The little Hongmeng primordial energy he managed to refine was often blown away by the wind!
"Door panel!"
Lan Yutian's voice came through: "Brother, the door panel!"
"What door panel?"
Qin Mu, fully focused on resisting the Hongmeng Dao Transformation technique, glanced outside and indeed saw a massive door panel tumbling like a falling leaf in the cold wind.
The door panel was unimaginably huge. In his haste, he also saw some strange characters on it, but he couldn't make them out in the short time.
"Brother! Take that door panel!" Lan Yutian shouted excitedly.
Qin Mu, enduring the pressure of the Hongmeng Dao Transformation, shot upward, breaking through the top floor of the flesh-and-blood pagoda. Countless flesh-and-blood Dao chains flew behind him, chasing after him.
Qin Mu tried to run, but his legs were only two inches long, making it impossible. He cursed under his breath and activated the Carrying Ultimate Void technique, but the technique dissolved as soon as it appeared.
He had no choice but to use his hands like flying wheels, frantically dashing toward the door panel.
Whoosh—
Countless flesh-and-blood Dao chains wrapped tightly around him. The flesh-and-blood pagoda flew over again and slammed down on him with a thud. At the same time, Qin Mu's hand grabbed the door panel, but he was immediately pinned against it by the pagoda, unable to break free.
"Third Young Master, your technique is truly insidious!"
Qin Mu, almost coughing up blood from the pressure, used all his strength to lift the pagoda and shouted, "Little brother, is there Hongmeng purple energy in this door panel?"
"No."
Lan Yutian quickly said, "Earlier, I saw a doorway in the Ultimate Void without a door panel. This is probably that panel, so I told you to pick it up. Brother, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
Qin Mu gritted his teeth, using Hongmeng primordial energy to drive the Calamity Sword. Controlling the sword with his energy, he stabbed it into the pagoda. His voice was hoarse: "Break the calamity!"
Hum!
The sword light exploded within the pagoda, continuously breaking through over a dozen flesh-and-blood Dao chains. The sword light shot out from the pagoda and struck the door panel with a thud. But on the massive door panel, only a shower of sparks appeared; the Calamity Sword didn't pierce it.
Where the sword had struck, a complex array of runes emerged on the door panel, flowing and rotating for a moment before disappearing.
Qin Mu was stunned. Without time to think further, he continued driving the sword with his energy, stabbing at the flesh-and-blood pagoda. At the same time, he used his arms to hurl the pagoda away!
The pagoda disintegrated into countless flesh-and-blood Dao chains, once again wrapping around him. Qin Mu stomped heavily, and the door panel flew up with a whoosh. He grabbed one corner with both hands and swung it like an impossibly huge divine blade, slashing down at those flesh-and-blood Dao chains!
Back when he studied under the Nine Elders of the Crippled Village, Mute had forged two cleaver-sized black iron knives for him. Although this door panel was much larger, Qin Mu didn't find it strange to wield it!
Ssss!
The countless flesh-and-blood Dao chains were sliced apart by the door panel in one stroke. The cold wind howled, blowing the severed chains in all directions.
Those flesh-and-blood Dao chains wriggled like worms in the Ultimate Void, trying to rejoin, but many were completely scattered by the cold wind.
Qin Mu lifted the door panel, using it as a blade. He swung it like lightning, continuously slashing apart the chains that had gathered together!
Finally, with a violent gust of cold wind, Qin Mu and the severed flesh-and-blood Dao chains were blown out of that dumping ground!
"Brother! The stone tablet!"
Lan Yutian's excited voice came again: "The stone tablet!"
"What stone tablet?"
Qin Mu gritted his teeth, raising the door panel to block the cold wind. He was then tumbled and rolled by the wind to an unknown place. In his haste, he indeed saw an incredibly tall square stone tablet standing in the Ultimate Void, but his speed was too fast, and it quickly disappeared from sight.
After a long time, Qin Mu finally managed to stabilize himself. The flesh-and-blood pagoda and the dumping ground were nowhere to be seen.
"This door panel is really good!"
Qin Mu, his upper body perched on the door panel, let out a sigh of admiration. Then he felt that his current image seemed somewhat familiar.
"I think I look just like Grandpa Tu back then..."
