The Sutra of Nothingness

As the Dao entered Shangguan Duo's Dantian little by little, the changes in his body became more and more obvious. The little man in his Dantian was like a snowman exposed to the sun, melting at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, a blue sphere continued to condense above his head, as if it was formed by countless blue water droplets.

As the blue sphere continued to take shape, Shangguan Duo could clearly feel the spiritual energy in his body dissipating continuously. The spiritual energy was like being sucked away, and it quickly drained out of his body. At the same time, an unknown light blue energy was surging into every pore of his body, including his deep red blood, which gradually turned pale under the impact of this energy.

At this moment, the One-Horned Nether Leopard also noticed the abnormality in Shangguan Duo's body. It panicked and wanted to withdraw its immortal power, but it was too late. Shangguan Duo was at a critical moment of promotion, how could he let it escape easily?

Shangguan Duo's mind moved, and a black hole suddenly drilled out of his body, like a ferocious beast, opening its bloody mouth and biting the one-horned Nether Leopard's magical power tightly.

"Although I can't fully control your power yet, you are the only one who can help me now!" Shangguan Duo endured the severe pain and shouted hoarsely, "Come on, I hope you don't go too far!"

However, even though Shangguan Duo had tried his best, his body still trembled under the impact of this powerful force.

"Roar!" Obviously, the one-horned Nether Leopard was completely enraged at this moment, and no longer thought about teasing. It exerted all its immortal power, and a cone-shaped Dao world slowly emerged. Countless ice Daos were entangled on it, emitting bursts of cold air. If it were not for the black hole that helped isolate Shangguan Duo, he would have become an ice sculpture by now.

"Hey!" There was that ancient breath again, and it felt like the sound when the world was first created. The figure that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar appeared, as if the whole world was rejecting him, and a black vacuum zone formed around him.

The one-horned Nether Leopard sensed a strong breath of danger when it saw the figure. Its pupils shrank and exploded immediately. A dark blue soul fled backwards the moment it left the body, but a huge suction force came. In just a moment, the soul, which was already almost transparent, was sucked into the rock wall beside it.

"This... forget it, I'll still help you!" The black figure raised his hand but before he could exert any force, the One-horned Nether Leopard had already exploded. He could only transform the force he had intended to use into a weak energy body, which swept up the One-horned Nether Leopard's blood and wrapped Shangguan Duo's whole body.

Shangguan Duo, who suddenly lost his source of energy, was also confused at the moment. However, before he could continue, a stream of pure energy began to flow into his body, and the smell of blood followed. However, Shangguan Duo, who was at the critical moment of his promotion, could not care about these things. He dragged his weak body to sit on the ground, carefully feeling every change in his body.

Along with the energy, there was also a pure experience of cultivating the Dao of Ice that was constantly infecting Shangguan Duo. At this moment, the various energies in his body began to collide constantly. Sword Intentions, the Dao of Water, the Heart Fire of the Sun, the Dao of Righteousness, etc. Shangguan Duo tried again and again to integrate them, but it seemed that none of these Daos was willing to submit to the others, and they collided head-on, constantly consuming each other.

"It's done. It's up to you from now on. If I stay any longer, that guy will probably come looking for me. Although he is a little weaker than me now, I don't want to fight him to the death so soon!" The black figure left these words and stepped into the black hole and disappeared again.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!" As the various great principles in his body continued to collide with each other, Shangguan Duo's body continued to break and repair itself, while the blood of the one-horned Netherworld Leopard wrapped around Shangguan Duo was also constantly decreasing.

"What should we do? We can't get in touch with him now, let alone remind him! If he dies here, won't we be buried for many more years?" Hun Tianyi looked at Shangguan Duo's body, his heart becoming more and more panicked. He turned his head anxiously, looked at the little Ringwraith, and asked eagerly.

The little Ringwraith frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "At this point, we can only choose to trust him. If he is not capable enough, there is nothing we can do. After all, this is a crucial step that no one can take for him, not even the so-called thief God!"

Before the little Ringwraith finished speaking, the sky suddenly became gloomy, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds. Then, a dazzling lightning streaked across the sky, like a sharp sword piercing the sky, and struck directly at their location.

"Not good!" Hun Tianyi screamed in shock. He and the little Ringwraith were so frightened by this sudden scene that they trembled all over and instantly fled back into Shangguan Duo's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, unexpectedly, the thunder did not seem to be coming towards them. It seemed to have eyes, and it struck Shangguan Duo's dantian squarely. In an instant, there was a "hissing" sound, and Shangguan Duo's body was enveloped by the powerful force of thunder and lightning, and dazzling lightning flashed all over his body.

This lightning force was like a violent beast, containing endless power, and mixed with the unique thunder law of the heavenly way. It rushed into Shangguan Duo's body with the force of thunder, as if to tear his body into pieces.

However, as this powerful lightning force was raging, the various Dao forces that already existed in Shangguan Duo's body began to collide with each other and reached a stalemate. These Dao forces were already in conflict with each other, and now with the intervention of the power of the law of thunder, it became even more chaotic.

Shangguan Duo's body was constantly damaged by the chaotic force. His bones were crackling, his muscles were twisting and deforming, and his meridians were being torn apart. But the magical thing was that whenever his body was damaged to a certain extent, the blood of the one-horned Nether Leopard would flow through like a clear spring, nourishing his damaged body and allowing it to recover quickly.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" Shangguan Duo could no longer endure the torture, and he let out a series of inhumane screams. The screams seemed to penetrate the sky and made people shudder. As he screamed, his skin and flesh began to fall off like bark peeling off a tree.

These fallen skin and flesh were not simply dead tissues, but were constantly destroyed and nourished by the power of lightning and various Dao principles, forming new layers of skin and flesh. However, these new skin and flesh could not be completely integrated with Shangguan Duo's body, and could only fall off continuously, forming a strange and terrifying scene.
