Tales of Demons and Gods: After Locking Time and Space

Chapter 171 Shadow Secret

“Xiaoxue, you, you have broken through to the Heavenly Dao Realm?” Lu Piao clearly felt the Heavenly Dao power erupting from Xiao Xue, and could also feel the power transmitted from the soul formation deep in his soul sea.

"Well, it seems that the connection with the Sword of Dusk has deepened!" Xiao Xue closed her eyes and quietly felt the flow of the power of heaven in her body. Xiao Xue's body and the Sword of Dusk became a whole, and the power of heaven flowed between the two.

"It is indeed the Sword of Dusk!" Yu Yan rushed out from the side and looked at the Sword of Dusk that was a little dusty in front of him. He had been unsure before. During the ancient war, Yu Yan had also seen this sword, but the Sword of Dusk at that time was very different from the current one.

Just one sword is dazzling, can open up the world, and can break the bones of the Holy Emperor!

"Goddess Yuyan knows about this sword?"

"I didn't know it before, but recently my memory has returned. This is the sword that was said to have suppressed evil spirits at the beginning of the creation of Shengyuan Continent. It is also the sword that protects the world! During the last holy war, a certain powerful person used it to cut off the bones of the Holy Emperor."

Yu Yan's tone was a little excited, but the current Dusk Sword was obviously too weak, and he didn't know what was needed to restore it to its original state.

"Just now, when your power of law spread around us, Sister Yuyan, the Dusk Sword seemed to have some changes, and there was a faint red light flashing on it." Xiao Xue seemed to remember something all of a sudden. It seemed that the Dusk Sword did not become heavier out of thin air just now. It should be a sign that the Dusk Sword was beginning to recover.

"Does that mean that the recovery of the Dusk Sword also depends on the power of the law?"

The power of the law in Yu Yan's hand condensed again, and Yu Yan's hand gently stroked the Sword of Dusk, but like a drop of water falling into the sea, it did not stir up any waves.

Looking at the Dusk Sword that had fallen into silence again, several people felt a little regretful. It seemed that they had guessed wrong. To restore the strength of the Dusk Sword, more than just the injection of the power of law was needed.

"Let it be. The guardian of the underworld must have his own reasons for handing it over to me. What is destined to happen will eventually happen!" Xiao Xue stroked the sword with her hand, and she seemed much more indifferent.

"Haha, yes, it's almost dawn, you guys go and get busy, just call me if you need anything." Yu Yan steadily restrained the power of laws that was beginning to dissipate from his body, and looked at Li Xingyun and others who were waving at him from a distance.

"That's right, Sister Yuyan, we'll go out first then."

"Let's go, Goddess Yuyan!" Several people waved and left the Map of Rivers and Mountains on their own.

"Lord Fire Spirit God." Li Xingyun and Gu Lan bowed respectfully and shouted with their hands clasped together. After all, they were the best in the Longxu Realm. Although they had not yet taken over the family business, they had heard of the Spirit God's deeds and were full of awe for him.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Yu Yan. We are both..." Yu Yan thought for a long time, "friends." It seems that only this time can eliminate the gap between them.

Only Mu Yue did not have such a change from the beginning and remained the same as always.

"You are looking for me for my natal flame, right?" Yu Yan smiled faintly, already knowing the reason why they came.

"You, know?"

"I can guess it. And I can also guess that it was Nie Li who told you to use my Fire Law when it surges."

Gu Lan and Li Xingyun were a little embarrassed. They didn't expect that Yu Yan knew everything.

"In that case, let's get started. After all, the Holy Emperor is also a spiritual god, and he shares the same origin as me. With my Law of Fire, you will have a deeper understanding of the techniques he practices."

..............

Hedao Sect, guest room.

Nie Li and a shadow were fighting at such a fast speed that people couldn't see their true faces. All they could see was a yellow and black figure colliding and separating from time to time, stirring up waves and lifting up all the decorations in the room. For a moment, the room was in chaos.

At this time, Lu Piao and his four companions appeared out of nowhere between the two, causing the fight to stop for a moment, and then the fight started again. The few people who had just come out didn't know what was going on, and in order to avoid being affected, they could only scatter around.

Du Ze carefully observed the two people fighting, and after confirming the yellow figure, he also joined the battle. However, he didn't know until he got there. Once he got there, Du Ze was really confused. Although it was easy to distinguish the two people because one was a real person and the other was a shadow, when he got closer, he found that the two looked exactly the same, and there was no other difference even after merging with the demon spirit.

Du Ze just threw a punch and then stopped where he was again. Now he didn't know what to do.

Because of the sudden appearance of several people, the battle did not continue. Although Nie Li had combat skills after fusing with the Tiger Fang Panda, he had been holding back and not using them. If he used the Light and Dark Energy Explosion in such a small guest room, it would inevitably affect other people.

After accumulating strength to deliver the heaviest punch, the shadow disappeared in front of everyone. The chaotic scene suddenly became quiet, but the surroundings were still in chaos.

Nie Li fell heavily to the ground. Du Ze hurried over to check Nie Li's pulse. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. He just consumed too much Heavenly Dao power and fell down exhausted.

"Nie Li!"

"Nie Li!"

Everyone was a little worried about Nie Li's situation, even though Nie Li was still looking at them with a playful smile and breathing heavily.

“I really need to improve my cultivation quickly. The Heavenly Dao Realm in the Heavenly God Ancestral Land is really not enough.” Nie Li said with a forced smile.

"Still laughing? Hurry up and lie down and have some rest." Seeing Nie Li lying on the ground without any strength, Ye Ziyun ran over and helped Nie Li to the bed, while continuously transferring her Heavenly Dao Power into Nie Li's body.

In the past, it was always Nie Li who took care of them. This time, Ye Ziyun realized that transferring the power of heaven in her body to others for recovery was such a power-consuming thing.

"That's enough, Ziyun. I still have the power of the singularity in my body. Just give me some time and I will recover on my own."

"Let's not talk about this for now. What was going on with that shadow just now?" Ye Ziyun looked at Nie Li with some reproach. He knew there would be danger, but he still insisted on taking on so many things by himself.

"Hehe, it's just a warning from the old leader of Hedao Sect. He probably knows that we are going underground to investigate the secret of the wooden door today, so he wants to give us a warning."

Nie Li was disdainful. This old sect master really didn't understand him. If he could be scared off so easily, he would not have stepped into the gate of Hedao Sect.

"Since he only has this much combat power, wouldn't it be possible for you to stop his attack if you leave us here?"

"If you were still here, it wouldn't just be 'me' that came."

"You mean, he can create as many shadows as he wants?"

"Of course there should still be restrictions, but the number is estimated to be large. If you were here, he would bring your shadows with him. After all, it is too easy to warn us who are just brats in their eyes."

"Now that you have retained your strength, I can also use the power of the singularity to recover quickly. Even if we meet that old man later, I will be more confident of keeping my life."

Nie Li guessed the origin of that shadow man.

"It seems to be some kind of ancient evil magic that can strip the soul of a recently deceased person, remove their consciousness, and then inject it back into the shadow to form a new individual. However, this individual has no thoughts or consciousness, and can only monotonously carry out the tasks given to them by the caster."

Such a secret technique emerged in Nie Li's mind, which seemed to be what he had seen in the Book of Space-Time Demons in his "previous life".

"Don't worry about it. The duel with the old man has just begun. By the way, how is Sister Yuyan? If I'm not mistaken, Sister Yuyan's law will soon be perfected, right?"

Nie Li suddenly changed the subject. Everyone felt relieved when they saw that Nie Li was indeed fine, and they no longer worried about the shadow just now.

"Sister Yuyan has recovered two-thirds of her health. She said if you need anything, just call her."

"Oh? If you need anything? Hahaha, sure." Nie Li didn't say anything. What Yu Yan meant by "if you need anything" probably meant that she already knew that she would need her help next. She was indeed worthy of being one of the ancient spiritual gods.

"The election for the leader of Hedao Sect will begin soon. We should go." Nie Li adjusted his breathing again and stood up from the bed with a somersault. He showed plenty of energy, which made Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er speechless for a while.

Nie Li always looked like he was going sightseeing, and he didn't seem nervous at all. After all, the person he was going to face was the leader of one of the three major sects in the ancestral land of the gods.

And he is the sect leader in peak condition!
