Yu Ling's palm was penetrated by the cursed nails and was pressing on the old man's heart.

So he clearly noticed that the old man's heart suddenly beat violently, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

The old man's expression suddenly changed, he let out a scream involuntarily, and said in a panic: "What's going on? This is impossible!"

As soon as Yu Ling was stunned for a moment, the old man's figure began to squirm and twist strangely, with veins all over his body bulging, blood vessels bulging, and his heart beating like a drum, as if it would explode completely in the next moment.

What's going on?

Before Yu Ling could figure out the reason, the body swelled up like a balloon. It looked bigger than the bodies of three or four people put together. The ninety-nine spell-melting nails buzzed and trembled, and finally

Being ejected by an unknown force, Yu Ling couldn't help but fall back and almost fell to the ground.

"Your blood..." The old man's bulging face was full of horror, and his sharp voice contained unspeakable shock and fear.

"Be careful!" Shuo's transformed black energy hurriedly wrapped around Yu Ling's body, and the next moment an extremely violent and turbulent force rushed in, directly blasting Yu Ling out of the cave.

Although she was protected by Shuo, Yu Ling still felt a wave of energy and blood, and she felt dizzy. It took her a long time to regain her strength, and she carefully walked back into the cave.

From the depths of the soul sea came Gu Yong's sarcastic sneer: "Your bloodline has initially awakened. How can it be something that an ordinary person can bear? Since it cannot be digested, then there is only one way to die."

The cave was in a mess, and the smell of blood assaulted your nostrils. The bright red blood was mixed with a little dark green, and the spots were scattered everywhere. It looked very eerie and terrifying.

Two bloody bodies were lying on the ground. One of them was motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, while the other was still struggling to get up.

Shuo suddenly beat the drowned dog mercilessly. The energy of the dark abyss spread out and penetrated directly into the old man's body, destroying and eroding his vitality.

The old man screamed and said sternly: "Who are you...how could you do this..."

"There's so much nonsense, let's see how I kill you!" Shuo interrupted fiercely.

Without paying attention just now, Yu Ling fell into a life-or-death situation. Shuo felt that he was very shameless and vented his anger on the old man.

The old man kept rolling and screaming, and his figure suddenly transformed into a thin middle-aged man. His spiritual power, with a faint burning power, rolled tongues of fire towards the aura of the dark abyss.

"Chichi—" Under the suppression of the dark abyss, the flames were immediately extinguished. The middle-aged man only lasted a few seconds, and all his vitality was wiped out.

The strange thing is that after the middle-aged man died, his body quickly squirmed and changed, turning into a man with a sinister face. His whole body was filled with chilling air, and the surrounding air instantly condensed and froze.

Another four or five seconds passed, and the man was extinct, replaced by an old man in his fifties with an immortal spirit. However, what did not match his appearance was that the death aura that came over him seemed to float from the Netherworld River.

It comes out with a thick darkness that annihilates all things.

When this person died again, this ever-changing body turned into the original old man. The will-o'-the-wisps in his sunken eyes danced, and he screamed desperately: "Don't kill me, I can hand over the Nine Fusion Technique!"

"

"Who wants you to perform such a perverted and disgusting technique? I'll send you on your way as soon as possible!" Shuo was extremely disgusted.

The old man screamed and roared: "I still have a lot of collections..."

Yu Ling interrupted directly: "Kill him."

The energy of the dark abyss floated, instantly corroding the old man into a charred corpse, without any breath of life left.

Shuo then breathed a sigh of relief: "This Lao Shizi Nine Fusion Technique is too terrifying. It seems that Xu Mingyuan should be his fifth target of swallowing and fusion. He has only practiced halfway and already has such strength. When he completes it,

, is it really possible to completely transcend the realm of illusory gods?"

"What? Do you regret it? You still had the opportunity to torture out this skill just now."

"Tch, I don't want it, I have mysophobia!"

Yu Ling didn't tell Shuo more, it was more important to check Xu Mingyuan's current situation first.

Xu Mingyuan was lying on the ground covered in blood, and his original appearance could hardly be seen. Fortunately, Yu Ling's soul power swept away and found that he still had a very weak trace of vitality left.

Yu Ling turned over the spiritual ring and took out a lot of life-saving elixirs, such as Thousand-Year Dream Flower, Thousand-Year Lotus Heart, etc., and drank them all with water for Xu Mingyuan.

"Aren't you afraid of overcompensating for others? Don't mess around next time." Shuo clicked his tongue.

"Anyway, I remember, as long as the properties of these elixirs don't conflict with each other."

As the two of them talked, Xu Mingyuan's weak breathing gradually became stronger, and the internal and external injuries all over his body began to gradually heal. It seemed that he was out of danger.

Yu Ling stayed by the side for several hours, and Xu Mingyuan finally woke up. He stared blankly at the dripping cave wall. It took him a few seconds to regain his consciousness, and said in disbelief: "Yu Ling? I, I'm still here.

Alive?"

"Well, your injury is very serious. It's not easy to save your life. You probably need to rest for a while." Yu Ling said.

Xu Mingyuan subconsciously wanted to sit up, but the wound on his body was affected. He couldn't help but groaned and sweated in pain.

"Don't move yet. It will take at least a day or two for your external injuries to basically heal. Internal injuries will be more troublesome, and it will take at least a month." Yu Ling motioned to him to calm down.

"You saved me again, I'm always so useless..." Xu Mingyuan said with some shame, and after a moment of silence he asked, "Where is that person?"

"Dead."

Xu Mingyuan was a little depressed and said complicatedly: "He gave me the "Heaven-Splitting Technique" just to devour me. If I had known about it earlier, I wouldn't have been defenseless..."

When Xu Mingyuan slowly told the whole story, Yu Ling finally understood the many doubts and twists in it.

The people that the old man devoured and fused all had special and powerful skills. When he fused with the fourth person, the resistance he encountered became greater and greater. He simply traveled around and selected people suitable for practicing "Splitting the Sky".

"Secrets" children, and then train them personally, so as to minimize the resistance to swallowing.

Xu Mingyuan also learned later that "The Art of Splitting the Sky" valued the perseverance and perseverance of the mind, and it didn't matter even if the talent was slightly inferior. So the old man chose over and over again, and finally decided on more than fifty candidates. Xu Mingyuan was originally only one of them.

And they were not the ones the old man was most optimistic about, so the old man taught him the exercises and left quickly, focusing on training the few young men he liked the most.

However, a few years later, Xu Mingyuan, who had obtained the Yuanling Divine Grass, came from behind. He has cultivated to the middle stage of Huazun and is also famous in the academy. After hearing the news, the old man quietly returned to Xu Mingyuan's hometown and designated him as

The fifth integration goal.

Speaking of this, Xu Mingyuan inevitably showed a sad and desolate look on his face: "My parents passed away early, and they ate Baijia rice since I was a child. They were well cared for by the villagers, so after I succeeded in practicing, I wanted to cultivate my spiritual power."

Teaching the Dharma to the villagers does not mean that they will become strong people, but it will

I can also help them strengthen their bodies and extend their lifespan, but I didn’t expect that they, who were originally kind, would treat me like this after being deceived. The ninety-nine curse nails are all filled with their resentment and murderous intentions, which are constantly corroding.

My flesh and blood makes it impossible for me to break free..."

Xu Mingyuan was silent for a while, as if he didn't want to bring up this topic again, and then said: "Actually, that person has another purpose in training us. If he fuses us, he can use our identities to participate in the Nine Realms Competition to obtain his
