However, after the Codex of Life and Death entered his God World, it had been hiding all along.
Xu Zimo had once studied it specifically, but it was of no use.
This Codex of Life and Death was just like a book.
After opening it, all the pages were blank, and after getting no results from his research, Xu Zimo had stopped paying attention to it.
Now Venerable Nu’s words made him recall it again.
“I think I know,” he looked at Venerable Nu and said.
“I believe this place will be useful to you,” Venerable Nu said with a smile. “So I specifically applied to the academy for this, you can go in and have a look.”
Xu Zimo nodded.
He placed both hands on the great gate, and the yin-yang fish engraved on it began to rotate.
With a rumbling sound, the heavy gate slowly opened.
As the gate opened, Xu Zimo looked up and saw that inside was shrouded in mist.
It seed like a completely new world.
Dense life-and-death energy ford into black and white streams, floating abundantly in the air.
“Go in,” Venerable Nu said. “There’s no ti limit here, but I still hope you can co out before my formation is completed.”
Xu Zimo nodded slightly.
He knew that Venerable Nu was doing this largely because of his intention to save the Vermillion Bird.
It was a kind of repaynt.
“I’ll stand guard outside for you,” Venerable Nu said.
…
Walking into the Land of Life and Death.
From the outside, it looked like a foggy black-and-white world.
But upon entering, he found that visibility was actually very clear.
The ground beneath his feet and the sky above his head were divided into black and white halves.
As soon as he entered the Land of Life and Death, Xu Zimo discovered that the Codex of Life and Death inside his body had actually reacted.
It was trembling slightly.
Although the tremor was very faint, it could still be clearly felt.
Xu Zimo looked far into the distance.
The space he was in was within a forest.
In this forest, the vegetation was lush, and the towering trees rose straight up.
Each tree trunk was over ten ters thick.
Xu Zimo drew his blade and cut down a tree, but in the next mont, it regenerated before his eyes.
“This life force is almost comparable to the Tree of Life,” Xu Zimo sighed.
The only drawback was that this life force only worked on the lifeforms here.
Other creatures from outside could not benefit from it.
The sound of “swoosh swoosh swoosh” suddenly ca from all directions.
Xu Zimo looked up to see nurous branches, each over ten ters thick, spreading toward him from the ground.
There were about a dozen of them, all attacking him.
He drew Shadow Tyrant and cut them down one by one.
In the next mont, a roar ca from the distance.
The rumbling vibrations followed, and the ground began to shake.
Xu Zimo looked ahead and saw a towering giant tree slowly rising from the earth.
The trees in this forest were already very tall, but this one stood even higher, like a crane among chickens.
Its entire body was green, surrounded by countless branches.
And on its trunk was a human face.
A very old face.
It was covered in wrinkles, with white eyebrows and beard.
“You may not pass ahead,” the giant tree said calmly.
“If you wish to cultivate, you may stop here.”
“What if I must go through?” Xu Zimo asked.
As soon as he spoke, countless branches ca at him.
These branches ca endlessly, and even when cut, new ones would appear instantly.
They were like tentacles.
Xu Zimo raised Shadow Tyrant, each slash filled with sharp blade intent.
No matter how many tentacles there were, he cut them all down.
Step by step, he approached the giant tree, his blade intent filling the entire sky.
Nineteen Forms of Dao-Seeking: Samsara Reversal!
In the space before him, the dense life-and-death energy was separated.
The rich life force transford entirely into death energy.
Especially along the blade’s edge, the death-infused blade intent corroded the heavens.
“Slash,” Xu Zimo said softly.
The rolling blade intent fell, and with a thunderous boom, the void in front of him shattered completely.
With a scream from the giant tree, it was split in half.
Xu Zimo stepped forward, the dense death energy around him clashing against the life force, preventing the tree from reviving.
The greatest strength of Samsara Reversal was that it could invert yin and yang, and life and death were naturally part of yin and yang.
Although the giant tree behind him was still struggling, Xu Zimo’s attention was not on it.
It was on the high sky ahead.
Floating there was a brush.
The brush was a hundred ters long, its body a mix of brown and black.
The bristles at the tip were white, in sharp contrast to the black handle, and he did not know what they were made of.
At this mont, the brush slowly moved through the air.
The entire sky seed to be splashed with ink, as it wrote the character “death” across the heavens.
When the character was complete, the brush vanished into the void, but the “death” character remained in the sky.
If the forest where the giant tree stood could be called the Land of Life, then ahead lay the Land of Death.
Dense death energy spread through the forest, drifting into the distant trenches.
The “death” character above shone down, forming a three-headed, six-ard monster.
“That brush just now?” Xu Zimo frowned slightly.
“The Brush of Life and Death?”
He didn’t know why, but information about that brush suddenly appeared in his mind without warning.
It was as if the Codex of Life and Death he possessed and the Brush of Life and Death were a set.
Especially when the brush had just appeared, the Codex of Life and Death in his True Fate World had grown even more restless.
…
“Looks like I can only go in and take a look,” Xu Zimo murmured.
Walking out of the lush forest, beyond was a death-filled trench.
The contrast between the two places was stark despite their closeness.
Ahead, the three-headed, six-ard monster roared at Xu Zimo.
Its three heads were nearly identical, its body huge, and each of its six arms bore a seal.
At that mont, one of its arms dropped, and the seal in its hand transford into a giant hamr.
It swung the hamr fiercely toward Xu Zimo.
Xu Zimo threw a punch, eting the strike head-on.
With a boom, a wave of force spread out.
The monster’s other arms moved wildly, the death seals in them constantly shifting.
So beca swords, so beca whips, others halberds, all striking at Xu Zimo at once.
The greatest threat was not the strength of these weapons, but the heavy death energy they carried.
It sought to pour into Xu Zimo’s body and corrode him entirely.
Seeing this, Xu Zimo chuckled.
“Ten Forms of Demon. Second Form: Plague Demon. For those plagued by karmic illness.”
