In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

"Boy, do you really think you can kill me with a damaged imitation of the Xuantian magic weapon? Although you have the upper hand now, it will only take me a moment to destroy you!" Shi Man suddenly shouted.

Then he suddenly made a hand gesture, and the red light on his body trembled and gathered towards his head. An aura of soul suppression filled the space within a thousand feet.

"This is it!" Shi Die and Shi Xiao had exhausted all their magic power, and under the suppression of the soul, their eyes became dazed.

"Such a strong spiritual power!"

Lu Yuan suddenly released his spiritual consciousness, and an invisible wall that was almost visible to the naked eye appeared in front of the three people. Then he used the Great Evolution Technique to its full potential, instantly amplifying his spiritual power several times and pouring it all into the Zhenyuan Mace.

"You still want to compete with me for the control of the Zhenyuan Mace? Dream on!"

Suddenly, the yellow halo on the surface of the Zhenyuan Mace became brighter, and explosions sounded continuously around it. The spiritual power that Shi Man had forcibly stimulated at all costs was wiped out in an instant.

"how is this possible?"

Even though Shi Man had noticed that Lu Yuan was quite good when he first met him in the Stone Demon Holy City, he never expected that Lu Yuan's soul would be even stronger than his late Demon Sect peak, so he couldn't help but lose his voice, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Of course, this is also the reason why the Stone Demon Clan's strength is mainly reflected in their physical bodies, and in terms of cultivating their primordial spirits, in the entire demon world, they are only at the middle and lower levels among the same level.

In addition, Lu Yuan had the power of the Zhen Yuan Mace, so it was not surprising that he was defeated. After all, Lu Yuan's main Nascent Soul was still imprisoned. If he really competed with his Soul, he would never be able to defeat Shi Man.

"Okay, you forced me to do this!"

Shi Man's face was ferocious, and he made a hand gesture, and a red light shot up from his head. A huge mountain towering into the clouds appeared, towering like a barrier in the sky, as if it was connected to the sky.

The surface of the giant mountain is as black as ink, exuding a mysterious and gloomy atmosphere, like a silent giant, standing between heaven and earth, staring quietly at this empty space, making people feel a chill involuntarily.

This was not over yet. Shi Man opened his mouth and spurted out a large amount of mysterious and unusual gray-white spiritual energy, which turned into a white hurricane and sank into the phantom.

“It’s the image of our distant ancestor!”

"And the power of Shilun that he took from me!"

Shi Die and Shi Xiao spoke at the same time.

"I understand. He summoned the image of his ancestor in order to forcibly integrate the power of Shi Lun and gain the ability to control the Shi Lun totem, thereby breaking free from the constraints of the Shi Lun Holy Pillar!" Shi Die immediately understood what Shi Man wanted to do.

"Impossible! Is he crazy? This is courting death. The success rate of this method is less than one in ten thousand. Only those elders who have not comprehended the Shilun Totem and believe that they cannot survive the next great catastrophe will use this final resort in order to have a glimmer of hope. But from ancient times to the present, haven't all those who have done so failed in the end? And the one who came closest to success ended up becoming a monster with a lost soul!" Shi Xiao was also surprised.

"It may not be a way to seek death. The elders of previous generations have used this method when their blood and energy were exhausted, so the probability of success is naturally very small. But Shi Man is in his prime and has extraordinary talent. Maybe..."

While Shi Xiaogen and Shi Die were still discussing, Lu Yuan smiled strangely.

"Are you saying I'm playing a turn-based game with you?"

Then he pointed at Shi Man and shouted, "Go!"

The 'Zhen Yuan Mace' that was still madly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth stopped. The nearby void twisted for a while and then disappeared.

The next moment, above the giant mountain phantom behind Shi Man, a huge golden mace phantom as big as a mountain emerged from the void.

Rumble!

As soon as the huge mace shadow appeared, it stirred up the surrounding heaven and earth energy into disorder, and the entire space shook violently, as if it was the end of the world.

The terrifying momentum and pressure even surpassed the oppressive feeling brought to everyone by the phantom of the giant mountain.

"fall!"

Lu Yuan spat out a word coldly.

The huge golden mace phantom smashed down with tremendous force.

"Ah~!"

Shi Man roared towards the sky, his eyes were red, silver light burst out from his body, and his body seemed to be made of silver.

He knew how terrifying the Xuantian magic weapon was, and he didn't dare to continue integrating Shi Lun's power.

He had no way to retreat, so he could only withstand the blow. He raised his arms to the sky and lifted them up fiercely.

Suddenly, the phantom of a huge mountain above crashed heavily into the phantom of the golden mace.

bang~

When the two collided, it was like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart.

Immediately afterwards, the phantom of the giant mountain shattered into pieces, turning into countless tiny spots of light floating around, and the phantom of the golden mace also dissipated and disappeared, but the body of the Zhenyuan mace, which was about ten feet long, continued to fall, smashing heavily into the stone barbarian below with a whistling sound.

Click click click~

Accompanied by the sound of breaking bones, Shi Man was split into two halves from top to bottom by the Zhen Yuan Mace.

puff~

The two halves of Shi Man's broken body fell to the ground from mid-air one after another, splashing dust all over the ground.

......

In the Stone Demon Holy City, in a secret space of unknown size, countless palm-sized soul tablets are floating in it.

Each soul tablet was tied with a thin spiritual thread. The other end of the spiritual thread was immersed in the white stone pillars below, which were as thick as buckets. Inside each stone pillar, there was a soul shadow imprinted on it.

Just now, at the moment when Shi Man in the holy land was split into two halves by Zhenyuan Mace, a soul tablet near the middle made a dull explosion sound, and several cracks that almost broke it appeared on it.

And inside the stone pillar corresponding to this soul tablet, the soul shadow began to flicker and seemed like it would disappear at any time.

......

Inside the holy land, Shi Die and Shi Xiao were both filled with disbelief as they looked at the miserable appearance of Shi Man lying on the ground.

This was Shi Man, who was only one step away from entering the realm of Demon Lord. He was a leading figure of the younger generation of the Stone Demon Clan, and yet he was defeated just like that.

"After all, this treasure was damaged too badly and cannot fully exert its original power. Otherwise, it would not have not only beaten him seriously to the point of dying, but would have been reduced to ashes long ago." Lu Yuan looked at the Zhen Yuan Mace in his hand, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Yuan, don't worry about it. If the Zhenyuan Mace really beats Shi Man to ashes, then the restriction token on his body will probably be destroyed as well. How can we get out?" Shi Die said with a smile.

Lu Yuan nodded and said nothing more. In a few flashes, he brought Shi Xiao and the other man to where Shi Man was.

Suddenly he raised his hand and grabbed a ball of dim soul light from one half of Shi Man's body. Just when he was about to wipe it out completely, Shi Die stopped him.

"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist Yuan!"
