Chapter 623 Roaring Sky Dog, Demon Slaying Platform
In the heavenly palace, ripples continued to appear in the void, and a figure appeared and disappeared, moving hundreds of miles each time.
Li Daoxuan performed the art of moving stars and changing constellations dozens of times in one breath, but eventually he staggered and fell due to exhaustion. He used the Xuanyuan Sword to support himself and climbed up from the ground with difficulty.
At this moment, his bones were broken in many places. His body, which had not recovered to begin with, became even more broken. The bones in his left arm were almost falling apart.
The Eight-Nine Profound Art is indeed the immortal way of martial arts that uses force to prove the sainthood of the physical body. In front of this art, Li Daoxuan felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Even when facing Chi You back then, I didn't have this feeling.
He struggled to stand up and wanted to continue running away. He also possessed the Divine Eye, and he knew too well how powerful this magical power was. If he didn't run far enough, he would soon be caught by Yang Jian.
Damn, I don’t know what’s going on in this broken place. Why would Yang Jian suddenly appear and fight with him?
Looking around, he saw a fairy palace in the east and west, both shining brightly and looking extraordinary. He didn't know where to go.
The experience in Yuelou made him realize that there were opportunities as well as dangers in the Immortal Palace, but Erlang Shen was chasing him , so he had to find a place to hide temporarily.
Never mind, go east!
Li Daoxuan felt that the fairy palace in the east was closer to him, so he prepared to rush there, but at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared and ran towards him.
It was a black dog, exactly like Xiaotian.
Li Daoxuan did not feel excited, but his heart was cold. He gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Erlang Shen caught up so quickly?
The experience of being bitten by the purple-gold marten was still fresh in his mind, so he naturally thought that the black dog was Erlang Shen's Sky-Howling Dog.
But the next moment, a familiar voice sounded.
"Woof woof, sir!"
Xiaotian ran towards him, his eyes full of excitement and his tongue sticking out.
Li Daoxuan was stunned.
"Master, you can't go to the palace in the east. That is the Tianyi Zhenqing Palace of the Zhenwu Emperor. There are many restrictions there. If you are not careful, you will accidentally enter the dangerous formation and die!"
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan broke out in a cold sweat.
If it was true as it said, then I almost chose a dead end just now. The Great Emperor Zhenwu was one of the Four Saints of the North Pole, and his status was much higher than Yue Lao. The restrictions on the periphery of his mansion alone were enough to kill me, who was now seriously injured, without a burial place.
"Xiaotian, why are you here?"
Li Daoxuan's divine eye told him that the black dog in front of him was not an illusion, nor was it someone's transformation technique, but the Heavenly Palace was strange, and he still had doubts in his heart.
"Woof woof, master, there's no time to explain now. If we don't hurry up, that master will come and kill us!"
As it said this, it turned and ran towards the west, motioning Li Daoxuan to follow.
Li Daoxuan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to follow. He had no choice but to take a gamble.
After running for a while, the man and the dog arrived in front of the palace in the west.
When I stepped in here, I found that this was not a fairy palace at all, but the execution ground in heaven, that is, the demon-slaying platform.
As the name suggests, it is a place where demons are killed, and all the demons that are specially escorted here for execution are highly skilled in Taoism and have great magical powers.
The most famous one is Sun Wukong, but he has an indestructible body and the Demon-Slaying Platform could not do anything to him, so he was transferred to the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun.
In addition to demons, there are also gods who have fallen into the evil path and died on the demon-slaying platform.
Although immortals can enjoy eternal life, they are also subject to the constraints of heavenly laws. If they violate the heavenly laws, they will be sent down to the mortal world at the very least, or put on the demon-slaying platform at the worst. With one strike of the sword, their souls will be shattered and they will die.
From ancient times to the present, countless gods, demons and monsters have perished here. Therefore, the execution ground is filled with murderous aura and blood. The surrounding clouds are like blood, and even the sky has turned blood red.
Li Daoxuan followed Xiaotian and turned left and right, and easily avoided all the restrictions along the way and entered the center of the execution ground.
It looks like it is familiar with the place and seems to know everything.
Seeing this scene, Li Daoxuan was secretly alert. After all, in his memory, although Black Dog inherited Xiaotian's power, he had no related memories, and knew nothing about the affairs of Heaven.
After walking for a while, Xiaotian finally stopped.
They have arrived at the core of the entire execution ground, which is the famous Demon-Slaying Platform.
In the tsunami-like blood waves, there stood a huge guillotine, hundreds of feet high. The cold blade was like frost and snow, stained with blood, and exuded an invisible deterrent.
For a moment, Li Daoxuan seemed to hear the howling of ghosts.
Those were all demons and gods who had died under this guillotine. The worst of them had practiced Taoism for a thousand years, so even though they were dead, their resentment still remained, and they wailed miserably.
With the power of Heaven, these grievances can be easily purified, but the Jade Emperor intends to keep them as a warning to others.
"Woof woof, sir, there is a lot of resentment here, and the evil spirit is like the sea. Over time, it has formed a kind of barrier. Even the eyes of heaven cannot see through here!"
Xiaotian patted his chest in a very humane way and said in fear: "Fortunately there is such a place in Heaven, otherwise I would have been chopped in half by that master..."
Li Daoxuan stared at it and asked, "Xiaotian, why are you here?"
When he was in seclusion in Longhu Mountain, he sent Xiaotian to protect Changle, but Changle said that a few days ago, Xiaotian suddenly shouted "Master" and ran towards the east.
Li Daoxuan guessed at the time that if that old man was not him, he could only be the legendary Erlang Zhenjun.
At that time, he thought that it was Erlang Shen who had resurrected, just like Master Sanle, but he didn't expect that he actually saw Erlang Shen in the Heavenly Palace and was defeated by him.
Then Xiaotian suddenly appeared and brought him to the Demon-Slaying Platform in Heaven with ease, using his evil spirit to avoid Erlang Shen's tracking.
This is all so weird and doesn't make sense.
How did Xiaotian suddenly come to the Heavenly Palace, and why was Erlang Shen chasing him in the Heavenly Palace?
"Woof woof, Master, speaking of this matter, Xiaotian is also very confused."
It tilted its head, its eyes full of confusion, and said, "That day I was following Changle. Just as we were walking to Jiannan Road, I suddenly heard someone calling me. The voice was very familiar. Somehow, I felt my body start to lose control and run towards the east."
"The closer I got to the voice, the more excited I became. I kept shouting 'Master', as if there was another soul inside me."
Xiaotian still feels frightened when talking about this experience.
Li Daoxuan's heart moved.
It was enlightened by itself in the past, but then fell off a cliff by mistake, and met a dog corpse below and saw the remaining soul of the divine dog.
According to it, the residual soul of the divine dog drilled into its body, and since then it has inherited Xiaotian's legacy, and its bloodline has been constantly transforming.
Now it seems that the divine dog is indeed Roaring Sky Dog.
"How did you come to heaven?"
Xiaotian continued, "I kept chasing that voice, and I felt it getting closer and closer. Finally, I passed through a circle of light and arrived at the Heavenly Palace."
It scratched its head with its front paws and said puzzledly: "And some memories inexplicably emerged in my mind, such as the layout of the Heavenly Palace, as if I had often wandered here..."
Li Daoxuan's heart trembled. Was Erlang Shen's appearance in the human world intentional or accidental?
Was it him who brought Xiaotian back to heaven?
If so, why did he do this? If not, who was secretly manipulating everything behind the scenes?
He originally thought that this trip to heaven was an accident, but now he suddenly felt that perhaps everything was not that simple.
