82: Three corpse worms, the soul is burning.
The Divine Soul was eroded, and the figures were devoured.
This incomplete Reverse Eight Trigrams had extremely strong side effects.
From the strong side effects, Li Yan felt his Soul strength rising.
At the same time, his Spirit Vision was also increasing.
When his Spirit Vision increased from the original 1 point to 11 points.
Li Yan saw something he couldn't see before, a terrifying existence!
His pupils trembled violently, his gaze fixed on the front.
In front of the Dragon-Breaking Pillars, on the mountain where the Divine Tomb was located, lay a giant centipede spanning a thousand li.
The centipede's arms were all white bones, but on the head of the giant centipede, there was a delicate human face.
It gave people a distorted, abrupt, and unsettling feeling.
"Centipede..."
A term from Cultivation flashed through Li Yan's mind: Slaying the Three Corpses.
The lower corpse worm, Peng Jiao.
It appeared in the form of a venomous snake or centipede. If a Cultivator wished to achieve Dao and become a Saint, slaying the Three Corpses was indispensable.
The Three Corpses were the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the self corpse.
But this human-headed centipede in front of him, whose Divine Being's lower corpse worm was it?
Its terrifying appearance, was it the Three Corpses of a certain deity?
Was this lower corpse worm, stretching for a thousand li, the Three Corpses of the Ancient God in the tomb?
Fortunately, that lower corpse worm was only coiled among the mountains and was not interested in Li Yan and the others.
Otherwise, if such a colossal creature were to move...
Li Yan swallowed, muttering to himself.
"I can see someone else's Three Corpses?"
"They all say that Old Ancestor Hongjun fused after slaying his Three Corpses and became a Saint, becoming the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao."
"But what's going on with this Ancient God's lower corpse worm? Can one become a Divine Being without slaying the Three Corpses?"
Having seen too much, Li Yan's Divine Soul became a little dizzy.
It truly echoed the saying: the more you know, the more you fear.
When he was still a fledgling Cultivator, the sky was vast, and the sea was wide, without fear or trepidation.
But the deeper he delved into this strange world, knowing too many things was not a good thing.
What stretched for a thousand li was not a giant Dragon, but a lower corpse worm.
Seeing such a massive, strange creature lying on the entire mountain range, the visual impact on the Soul was too shocking.
If he couldn't see it, he wouldn't pay attention to it.
But now Li Yan had seen things he couldn't see before, and higher Spirit Vision was not necessarily a good thing.
Li Yan could only try his best to lower his gaze, making an effort not to look at the lower corpse worm on the mountain range.
He took a deep breath, steadying his Dao Heart.
As long as he was still in a dream, and not in reality.
He, Li Yan, possessed the effect of being immortal and indestructible.
He would rather change the past in a dream than encounter such a thing in reality.
It would be best to use his immortal and indestructible characteristic to help these Cultivators rewrite history.
After steadying his Dao Heart, Li Yan became even calmer.
Compared to Li Yan confronting fear directly, the people behind him were unaware.
Even Moonlit Sword Immortal and Ember Immortal, though they were at the Great Ascension Stage, could not see the strange creature because they lacked Spirit Vision.
The two Fairies were still exclaiming: "Revered Master only needed to make a slight move to suppress these eight Dragon-Breaking Pillars."
Awe filled the Sword Immortal's eyes.
"Revered Master easily suppressed this Reverse Eight Trigrams Formation, protecting us all."
"If Revered Master hadn't acted, and we were forced to pass through these eight Dragon-Breaking Pillars, who knows how many Fellow Daoists would have fallen here."
"When will I be able to possess such Divine Ability as Revered Master?"
Li Yan did not get lost in self-satisfaction due to the praise of the two Fairies.
His tone was steady: "Pass through quickly!"
This Golden Body Avatar, dozens of feet high, enveloped the poisonous Qi, allowing the Cultivators to pass through safely.
Upon hearing this, everyone dared not delay and quickly passed through from both sides of the Golden Body Avatar. Countless people flashed past Li Yan, surging into the Divine Tomb one after another.
And Li Yan looked at their backs; if the history in the dream did not change, almost all of them would die in this Divine Tomb.
And the Divine Tomb in front of them would slowly sink underground over time, until more than thirty thousand years later, the bones of these Cultivators would be excavated by Quiet Void Taoist.
Standing in the middle of the eight Dragon-Breaking Pillars, Li Yan looked back.
There were still tens of thousands of Cultivators, lined up in Formation in the sky behind, forming a human wall in mid-air.
Li Yan asked: "Are those Cultivators considered backup?"
The Dragon Tiger Immortal beside him immediately straightened his back: "Replying to Senior, those are all Disciples from our Righteous Path Sects, from various factions, and they are responsible for bringing up the rear."
"If other Demonic Path villains attack, they are responsible for blocking them."
It seemed that the battle of the Divine Tomb was not just within the Divine Tomb itself.
The periphery also needed to be fortified to prevent Demonic Path villains from launching a pincer attack.
Li Yan nodded: "You all should go in quickly. I will join you once I resolve this Formation."
"Yes!"
After everyone had entered the Divine Tomb, Li Yan had absorbed almost everything.
Several lines of text appeared before his eyes.
[Host has completely absorbed the evil erosion of this Formation, and Soul strength has increased.]
[Your Divine Soul has advanced from Ninth-Grade Initial Awakening to → Eighth-Grade Comprehension.]
[Divine Soul is divided into Three Chapters of the Mortal World, Three Awakenings of the Spirit Realm, and Three Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao.]
When Li Yan's Divine Soul strength increased to Eighth-Grade, the blood glass treasure lotus lantern in his hand suddenly flared up, burning with a scorching light.
Along with the Divine Soul's increase, the lampwick ignited with fierce flames, and the Nirvana Golden Body expanded twofold.
Just like inflating a balloon, Li Yan's Golden Body Avatar rose from the ground, increasing to over fifty feet.
Moreover, the previous Golden Body Avatar was very faint, a translucent form.
But now, the Golden Body Avatar's color had deepened considerably, giving it a more tangible feel.
The larger the Golden Body Avatar, the more area it could cover.
Watching the flame color of the treasure lotus lamp in his hand deepen, Li Yan suddenly realized.
"Not only can it be improved through cultivation, but a stronger Divine Soul can also cause a qualitative change in the Golden Body Avatar!"
"This dream can only slightly increase my cultivation, but it can greatly Cultivate my Divine Soul."
Watching his Golden Body Avatar grow larger and more solid, the remaining evil erosion in this place was also absorbed by him.
Without further delay, Li Yan immediately stepped into the Divine Tomb.
As he walked into the entrance, he heard continuous explosions and sounds of battle coming from inside.
He quickened his pace and entered the Divine Tomb, where he saw the Cultivators engaged in fierce combat with the Ancient God Believers.
Both sides raised their shields, and two energies, one dark and one white, rubbed and collided.
Among the Ancient God Believers, Li Yan saw an old acquaintance.
The one-armed Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect stood among the ranks.
Among the evil Cultivators, Shadow Old Demon held up a shield with one hand, sneering.
"You cannot be taught!"
"Why don't you awaken the Ancient God with me!"
"When the Ancient God awakens, the Dao of Ultimate Bliss will descend upon this place, and we shall all gain eternal life!"
Moonlit Sword Immortal, at the very front of the group, reprimanded him.
"You are gambling!"
"Who can guarantee what kind of deity resides in this Divine Tomb?"
"If it is an Outer Realm Evil God, what will you do?"
Shadow Old Demon let out bursts of strange laughter.
"Even if it's an Outer Realm Evil God, what does it matter? As long as he promises me eternal life, I am willing to be his dog!"
