"Boom!" The sledgehammer in Chen Mo's hand slammed down, and the power of 1.2 million catties of concussion erupted one after another.

Even the surrounding air resonated with a crisp sound.

"Bang!" An extremely dull voice came, and the bull's head was dented by Chen Mo's hammer.

"Eyes!" Unexpectedly, it was not yet dead, and let out a cry of pain.

The fur of the wild cow turned blood-red in an instant, and the flesh was about to burn in an instant.

Infinite flames rose and illuminated the entire underground cavern.

Chen Mo took a step back and looked at the flames stained on his hands.

This flame is extremely special, it does not harm the body, and its fuel is an inexplicable power of rules in one's body.

Chen Mo sensed it carefully, and instantly understood that this was the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

Whoever has karma touches it, it should be burned with fire.

There are two types of karma.

One is the karma of heaven and earth, and most of those who have this karma have disrupted the normal operation of heaven and earth, or caused extremely serious damage to heaven and earth.

For example, destroying the leylines of the earth and destroying the walls of heaven and earth, such people are often not tolerated by heaven and earth, and will be punished by heaven.

People who possess the karma of heaven and earth are very rare, because the vast majority of people are unable to deal with the targeting and malice of an entire world, unless their strength is stronger than that world.

In addition to the karma of heaven and earth, there is another type of karma, which is the karma of living beings.

Soul karma is the result of killing living beings, but the living beings here must have complete spiritual intelligence.

Ordinary livestock is absolutely not counted, only people and demon clans that have opened their spiritual intelligence, or other creatures that are born and raised, are counted in this category.

The reason why this is so is because the karma of living beings is created by the combination of many powerful people.

The fact that a martial artist reaches the realm of dominance itself symbolizes a part of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and after cultivating further, he can affect the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

He even completely imprinted the way he cultivated in heaven and earth.

In ancient times, there was no existence of living karma at all.

Many demon cultivators and evil cultivators wantonly kill living beings and cultivate, and there are even strong demon clans, in order to refine their own bloodline, they wantonly devour their fellow clans.

Several Ancient Heaven and Earth Supremes naturally did not want to see such a situation happen.

Because whether it is evil cultivators and demon cultivators, or the killing of those demon clans, they are destroying the order of the entire heaven and earth.

And if you manage them one by one, it will be too much waste of time and manpower.

Therefore, several top powerhouses joined forces to preserve the method of living karma in the heavens and the earth.

From now on, all living beings who slaughter living beings will have karma with them.

If the karma accumulates to the extreme, the karmic fire will rise and burn spontaneously.

Since then, although the world has not been peaceful, there has been a lot less wanton killing.

And the Red Lotus Karmic Fire also began to exist at that moment, and only later did warriors practice this fire to fight the enemy.

Of course, there is a very obvious disadvantage of this fire, and that is that if someone has no karma.

Then the Red Lotus Karma Fire can be said to have no harm to it at all.

And if you accidentally get your own karma dirty, then it will damage yourself.

Therefore, those who practice this method often come from the right path, and they have to deal with the demonic path from time to time before they can practice.

Chen Mo has killed many people or other living beings since he practiced, and naturally there is also a accumulation of karma on his body.

Although he has a lot of merit, these two cannot be offset at all.

With the blessings of heaven and earth, he can act smoothly.

However, the merits of heaven and earth cannot affect the karma of living beings at all, and naturally it is impossible to have any effect on the karmic fire of the red lotus.

However, Chen Mo's expression was very indifferent, he did kill a lot of people, but there were not many of them.

Now there is indeed a red lotus karma fire rising up in the body, burning the three treasures of its own essence and spirit from the inside out.

Although the fire was raging, there was no follow-up fuel, but it was burned in an instant, and Chen Mo was not affected too much.

With his strength, this level of Red Lotus Karma Fire can really be called too little and too little.

The red lotus karma burned by, and the karma on Chen Mo's body naturally dissipated.

This means that he has survived this calamity, and even if the karmic fire burns again in a short period of time, it will not be able to harm him.

But if he accumulates karma again after a period of time, then the power of the karmic fire to burn next time will be much stronger than this time.

It is precisely because of this that there are no warriors in the Demon Path who practice the method of red lotus karmic fire, burning themselves every once in a while to burn their karma.

"Boom!" Chen Mo's double hammer smashed down again, and his karma had been burned by the karmic fire, and this brute bull had no means to hurt himself.

"Eyes!" It's just that this time, when the bull saw him coming, he didn't dodge, but raised his head to the sky and let out a roar.

Before the giant hammer in Chen Mo's hand fell, the figure of this wild bull dissipated violently.

But in an instant, it changed into a strange compass.

The compass is simple and bronze-colored, with the sexagenary branch engraved on the front and a few lines of small characters faintly visible on the back.

It's just too vague to make out what it is.

The words that appear on the compass are all heaven and earth gods, and these few lines of small characters are blurred, which means that in the endless storm of returning to the ruins, the magic of the compass itself has gradually dissipated.

The most obvious thing is the text that is beginning to blur.

Chen Mo grabbed the compass in his hand and stretched out his hand to look at the other side.

The Lord of the Sea of Blood is fighting with that strange bird, but this bird is really strange, it is not in love with fighting, and its wings flutter and its speed is extremely fast.

"Quack ......" the strange bird chirped one after another, a pair of wings kept vibrating, and its body tossed and turned.

It can be seen that being chased and killed continuously, this strange bird seems extremely anxious.

The strength that the Lord of the Blood Sea can burst out in the Acquired Realm is definitely not weak, and it is better than many martial artists of the same realm.

However, at this time, in the face of this strange bird, he was still helpless.

She made one move after another, but the strange bird was able to dodge it every time.

"Boom!" In the deepest part of the cave, there was a sudden noise.

A narrow mountain road opened, and when the strange bird saw this, it hurriedly flew to the side of the mountain road and shouted.

It no longer dodged, but stood beside the mountain path and waved its wings, as if signaling Chen Mo and the Lord of the Blood Sea to approach it.

"It seems to be guiding us?" The Lord of the Blood Sea stared at the strange bird, walked to Chen Mo's side and whispered.

"Karma." The strange bird seemed to understand the words of the Lord of the Sea of Blood, and hurriedly vibrated its wings in response.

"Let's go up and see if you're behind me." Chen Mo whispered and handed over the compass he had obtained earlier to the Lord of the Sea of Blood.

"Look, is this the treasure you want to take?"

The Lord of the Blood Sea carefully took it, looked at it and looked at it, and then handed it back to Chen Mo and said, "No, according to my estimate, those two treasures should be in the innermost layer of the secret vault, and they can only be seen if they pass the test." ”

In fact, what she said was only a rough inference, and the secret place here was suppressed from the fourth layer of the ruins all the way to the second layer of the ruins.

There are bound to be many changes, many of which may be completely unpredictable.

Chen Mo accepted the compass and said no more, extremely cautious, and came to stand beside the strange bird.

When the strange bird saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly walked into the mountain road.

The trail is still unchanged, but it goes deeper into the ground.

Eventually, the two of them came to an underground cavern that looked like it wasn't any different.

Chen Mo was always cautiously observing his surroundings to make sure that no strange creatures appeared.

Everything is normal here, normal and even some abnormal.

No matter how Chen Mo looked, he didn't perceive any danger.

However, the next moment, a dull voice sounded, and the mountain path they had walked before was completely closed, leaving no room for anything.

Immediately after an irresistible force struck, Chen Mo only felt that the life force in his body was rapidly draining, and his physical body began to decay.

Fortunately, after countless cultivations, his physical strength has already reached an unimaginable realm.

Thousands of divine lights in the body are blazing, and endless brilliance circulates to resist the power of the outside world.

The surging blood qi is like a great river, constantly stirring in the body.

The blood is rising, three feet away from the body, like wolf smoke.

However, this only made this power decay, and Chen Mo felt that his life essence was still flowing.

The essence of life is the foundation of a martial artist, and once it is lost, it means that it begins to age.

It stands to reason that whether it is Chen Mo or the Lord of the Sea of Blood.

With the cultivation of the two of them, there would never be a loss under normal circumstances.

Although they cannot live forever, they will live forever between heaven and earth.

But with Chen Mo's current physical cultivation, his lifespan must be far beyond that of Vientiane martial artists in the same realm, and it is not difficult to live for tens of thousands of years.

Not to mention the Lord of the Blood Sea, as a creature transformed into the Blood Sea, her lifespan would only be longer than Chen Mo's.

However, at this time, there is a force that is constantly plundering their life essence, and it is extremely fast.

Chen Mo's physical body was sanctified, and now it contained thousands of laws, which were enough to resist this power.

The Lord of the Sea of Blood was far from being able to do it, just by breathing, Chen Mo could feel her vitality constantly slipping.

And this speed is getting faster and faster, Chen Mo cautiously looked around, trying to find a way to break the game.

If not, he and the Lord of the Sea of Blood will have to retreat for the time being.

He can use the Gate of Return to Ruins to teleport himself, and of course, he can also bring the Lord of the Blood Sea.

At this moment, a little light appeared on the other half of the underground cavern, which was faint at first, and then extremely strong.

The entire cave was instantly dyed white.

Chen Mo looked carefully, and the thing that shone was a palm-sized jade slip.

The jade slip is engraved with three characters, but they are equally indistinct.

The Lord of the Blood Sea's eyes lit up and hurriedly spoke, "This is one of the two treasures I am looking for, which is the judge record used by the judges of the Ancient Netherworld. All the wise beings in a realm do good and evil deeds, and they record them.

As long as it is obtained, this test should be over. ”

Chen Mo frowned slightly, first looking at the Lord of the Blood Sea, and then at the judge's record.

"I could go and get it, but can you hold it now?"

He could feel that the life essence in the main body of the Blood Sea was constantly flowing at a faster speed, even if she was transformed into a Blood Sea Dao, I am afraid that it would not last long if it continued like this.

"It's okay, you just go boldly." The Lord of the Sea of Blood looked calm, not half flustered.

Because she believes that the test that her sister has arranged here is just to test the juniors.

After all, if you don't master the secret method, you won't even have the qualifications to step into the secret place here.

In the worst case, it is nothing more than a failure in the assessment, which should not hurt your life.

Therefore, these things may change in the ruins, but now that the treasure is in front of her, she is absolutely unwilling to let her give it up so easily.

Seeing this, Chen Mo did not hesitate, took a big stride, and continued to approach the judge.

The Lord of the Blood Sea stayed where he was at this time, trying to slow down the loss of his own life essence.

Chen Mo was getting closer and closer to the judge's record, and he could feel the speed of his life essence loss at the moment.

At first, it was enough to resist, but as we got closer to the judges, it grew stronger.

Even if it was him, the essence of life was lost.

Thanks to the Lord of the Blood Sea, she didn't have to take it herself, otherwise her strength might not be close to the judge's record at all.

Chen Mo stepped in front of the judge's record, and at this time, wisps of blood and golden light were constantly emitting from his body.

This was a sign that his life essence was dissipating, and Chen Mo could even feel that his physical body was slowly declining.

However, the process is extremely slow.

However, the situation of the Lord of the Blood Sea was far inferior to him, although her body was also superior to the powerhouses of the same realm, there was no inner law, and there was no sign of physical sanctification.

Now facing the situation of life essence being withdrawn, of course, how much has been sucked away.

Her physical body had deteriorated significantly, and even her face had gradually grown old.

Chen Mo stretched out his hand and grabbed the judge's record tightly, this jade was no more than an inch wide, about six or seven inches long.

The whole body is made of special material, and it feels cool in the hand.

As he gripped the judge's record tightly, in an instant, all the light in the cave at the bottom of the mountain disappeared in an instant.

Chen Mo saw that the surging life essence was constantly pouring out of the judge's record.

Many of this power, which belonged to him, now fused with himself again, replenishing the life essence that he had previously consumed.

And more life essence is to go to find the Lord of the Blood Sea.

This power originally came from the two of them, so it was naturally not difficult to absorb it.

At this time, Chen Mo still felt that his own life essence had already undergone a refinement and became more pure.

Absorbing these life essences can further improve his strength, of course, not by much, just ten thousand catties of strength.

In addition to the essence of life, Chen Mo also understood the purpose of this assessment.

This assessment is to test the faith and courage of the warrior, to see if the warrior has the courage to continue to move forward in the case of continuous loss of life essence and physical decay.

Under normal circumstances, the martial artists who can approach this judge's record have their life power exhausted to the limit.

The internal organs, muscles, bones, blood and qi are all on the verge of collapse, and it is even very likely to die violently in the next moment.

See if the warrior will hesitate in this case, if there is half a point of hesitation, then the assessment will inevitably fail.

Of course, there will be no danger to his life after defeat, and the judge will still return the life essence consumed before to the martial artist.

Just a normal assessment will be declared a complete failure, and the secret place here will also be closed, waiting for the next martial artist to open it.

It's just that this secret place, or the Xudu Niangniang who arranged the test at the beginning, didn't expect it.

There would be a freak like Chen Mo to come to the test, and he already had a few visions of physical sanctification, which was enough to resist these forces.

But maybe Xudu Niangniang also took this into account, if there is really such a martial artist to come to the assessment, then of course he is qualified to pass this test with his talent.

Chen Mo took the judge's record and handed it over to the Lord of the Sea of Blood.

"Karma!" The colorful strange bird screamed excitedly at this time, and kept flapping its wings.

It was previously here, but it was unaffected.

Because it is not a living creature at all, it has no life essence at all, how can it be affected.

"Quack!" The Colorful Strange Bird ran again, and then walked to a mountain path that had just been opened and shouted loudly, urging Chen Mo and the Lord of the Blood Sea to follow it.
