Chapter 253 Life and Death
Bai Kui only had ten breaths of time. Because the Book of Life and Death was a vital thing in the Three Realms, it was no small matter that it could cross the realm and appear here, and naturally it could not stay for a long time because of a cultivator's breakthrough in cultivation.
If one could not write his name on the Book of Life and Death within ten breaths, the Book of Life and Death would dissipate after ten breaths, and the cultivator who wanted to break through to the realm of Life and Death would fail directly and die.
Bai Kui naturally knew that the time of this second calamity was extremely short, so after the Book of Life and Death was opened and the Judge's Pen appeared, he did not hesitate at all, and directly rushed towards the Judge's Pen with spiritual power, and soon completely controlled the Judge's Pen.
At this time, the first breath had completely flowed.
In the second breath, Bai Kui used all his spiritual power to stand up the huge Judge's Pen in the air, and the tip of the pen was facing the Book of Life and Death.
Huan Yin could feel that Bai Kui was struggling when doing this step, as if the Judge's Pen was weighing ten thousand pounds, and it was not easy to pick it up even with his cultivation.
The Judge's Pen moved, and he would never look back. From the moment Bai Kui picked up the Judge's Pen, he could no longer put it down, because if he did, even if the time was less than ten breaths, the Book of Life and Death would dissipate directly. Therefore, all Bai Kui could do now was to use the pen to write the two words "Bai Kui".
However, just when the second breath of time had completely passed and Bai Kui was about to move the Judge's Pen towards the Book of Life and Death, suddenly a ghost cry sound came from behind the Book of Life and Death, suddenly getting louder, and the whole sky was suddenly filled with yin energy.
"Great Elder, what is that?" Huan Yin secretly worried about Bai Kui, because the time he had was too short.
"It is the countless resentful spirits who have died in the life and death calamity throughout the ages. Those extreme cultivators who did not pass the life and death calamity but had extremely heavy resentment did not enter reincarnation after the calamity, but were entangled in the life and death book with extremely deep resentment, becoming resentful spirits in the life and death book. Whenever a cultivator wants to pass the life and death calamity, these resentful spirits will appear to prevent the success of the cultivator who crosses the calamity." Wei Bing answered.
"How many resentful spirits will come out to stop them?" Huan Yin asked again.
"No more than ten." Wei Bing answered again.
Bai Kui didn't care about the resentful spirits. He only knew that time was running out and there was no time to lose. So when the third breath came, he had already started to move the judge's pen without distraction.
Bai Kui did not reserve his spiritual power at all, so now the judge's pen moved very quickly and was rapidly approaching the life and death book.
However, when the fourth breath came, seven black ghosts suddenly rushed out from behind the life and death book and flew towards Bai Kui. They were resentful spirits!
Bai Kui knew about the existence of the vengeful spirits, and he had already prepared for it. So as soon as the vengeful spirits appeared, white light shone around him, and then he fired seven sharp ice cones at the seven vengeful spirits.
In the fifth breath, the vengeful spirits collided with Bai Kui's ice cones, and the vengeful spirits in the air suddenly made a shrill cry, but that was not the sound of the vengeful spirits being killed, but their crazy screams.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the seven vengeful spirits actually smashed Bai Kui's ice cones to pieces. Bai Kui's attack did not hurt them at all!
However, Bai Kui did not care. He did not fail, because he bought himself another breath of time, and now the judge's pen was less than three feet away from the Book of Life and Death!
Bai Kui still had half of the time. If he continued like this, he would have a good chance!
When the sixth breath came, the light on Bai Kui's body did not converge at all, but continued to shoot ice cones at the seven vengeful spirits. Even if it consumed more cultivation, he did not hesitate at all.
However, the resentful spirits were all transformed by the cultivators who failed to pass the tribulation, so how could they not know that Bai Kui was trying to delay them?
The momentum of each resentful spirit suddenly rose at this moment, and then five of them actually hissed and connected in the air, and merged together in the blink of an eye. After several changes, they turned into a huge ghost king in the air again.
They wanted to use all their strength to stop every cultivator who wanted to break through to the realm of life palm, and now the target of their resentment was Bai Kui!
After the huge ghost king took shape, the seventh breath came. The ghost king roared, and a pair of ghost claws stretched forward and grabbed towards Bai Kui!
The white light on Bai Kui did not dissipate, so it quickly used the white light to hold the ghost king, so that the ghost king could not get close to it for a while.
However, Huan Yin could feel that Bai Kui was now struggling. Because now it not only has to divide a lot of spiritual power to control the judge's pen, but also has to hold the ghost king. The power of the ghost king seems to be stronger than it is now.
Fortunately, Bai Kui didn't need to fight with the ghost king. All he needed to do was to block it. It would be enough to block it for three more breaths, which didn't seem difficult.
When the seventh breath completely flowed, the judge's pen finally touched the Book of Life and Death, and even left a black dot on the Book of Life and Death.
Next, Bai Kui only needed to move the pen and write two simple words. That was enough. That wasn't difficult!
In the eighth breath, Bai Kui's spiritual power surged wildly, wanting to write his name as soon as possible in one go, and also break the situation that made him feel extremely exhausted.
However, at the moment when he wanted to control the judge's pen, a strong force suddenly came from the pen, pressing the pen firmly in place, not letting it move at all.
Huan Yin instantly discovered the abnormality of Bai Kui through sensing. He looked closely and saw that the two resentful spirits that had not combined into the ghost king were actually next to the judge's pen, and they were tightly entangled with the judge's pen to prevent it from moving.
"Damn it!" Huan Yin was very anxious. Now Bai Kui had less than three breaths left. He didn't expect the resentful spirit to be so cunning and not miss any opportunity to stop Bai Kui.
"Roar!" Bai Kui also found the problem. He roared, and the spiritual power used on the judge's pen suddenly surged, causing white light to appear around the judge's pen, forcing the two resentful spirits next to the pen away, and even making the pen move!
"Bai Kui, be careful!" Huan Yin sent out a divine thought to remind Bai Kui. Because the moment Bai Kui used his spiritual power on the pen, he could no longer suppress the ghost king, and the ghost king roared and approached Bai Kui.
The Ghost King did not hold back his power at all. Bai Kui felt a great threat from him. He knew that he had to find a way to deal with the Ghost King. Otherwise, even if he wrote his name, he would die in the hands of the Ghost King.
The ninth breath came, and the word "Bai" was complete! Bai Kui only needed one more word to succeed!
However, the Ghost King had already killed him, and he had to fight! Therefore, Bai Kui's spiritual power was immediately withdrawn, and the two resentful spirits next to the Judge's Pen saw the opportunity and rushed up again in an instant, wrapping the Judge's Pen tightly.
Bai Kui had no time, he had to succeed in one strike, and if he entangled with the Ghost King for a while, he would fail!
"Escape!" In the Spirit Pavilion, the voice of Ling Jingzi sounded again, and then Bai Kui in the air roared and connected with the Ghost King at the moment, Bai Kui's figure suddenly disappeared, and in front of the Ghost King, there was only a layer of white fur left, which was torn to pieces the moment the Ghost King's claws grabbed it!
When the real Bai Kui appeared again, it had come behind the ghost king, and rushed towards the direction of the judge's pen without hesitation!
Huan Yin exclaimed in his heart that it was wonderful. It seemed that Bai Kui had benefited a lot from Ling Jingzi, and even learned the profound Taoism of Ziyin Sect.
Huan Yin had naturally learned a lot of Ziyin Sect Taoism in the past two years, so he knew how profound and mysterious the Taoism of Ziyin Sect was. He believed that with the help of Ziyin Sect Taoism, Bai Kui could complete the second word.
When the ghost king reacted, it was too late, because Bai Kui had rushed to the side of the judge's pen within a breath, and his body was shining with white light, blasting away the two resentful spirits who had taken the pen.
"Oh no, Huan Yin, hurry up, tell Bai Kui to control the judge's pen and use all the remaining spiritual power to resist it outside his body, and the direction is to its right!" Wei Bing's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said such a sentence to Huan Yin.
Huan Yin didn't notice anything unusual, but he couldn't ignore Wei Bing's words.
"Bai Kui, defend your right side, with all your strength!" Huan Yin's divine thoughts were transmitted quickly, letting Bai Kui know the current situation instantly.
The tenth breath was also the last breath Bai Kui had.
Bai Kui had completely taken control of the Judge's Pen, but the moment it received Huan Yin's divine thoughts, the white light around it suddenly lit up again, and it continued to condense ice walls on its right side, and finally formed a total of five!
Bai Kui didn't know why Huan Yin wanted it to do this, but it believed in Huan Yin, and it didn't need a reason!
Bai Kui didn't care about anything more. It had done everything now, except for that one word, so it controlled the Judge's Pen and began to write!
Suddenly, on the right side of Bai Kui, the two resentful spirits that were blown away by it suddenly stopped, and the figure of the ghost king far away from Bai Kui also disappeared out of thin air.
The resentful spirits that stopped soon connected together and merged with each other. Not only that, the moment they merged, they began to expand rapidly, as if some new power had joined them!
It was the Ghost King!
The vengeful spirits were strange and changeable. They merged in an instant and then launched the final attack on Bai Kui.
Wei Bing's suggestion played a key role at this time. Although the combat power of the seven vengeful spirits after merging was extremely strong, it was not something Bai Kui could resist at all, but the five ice walls bought Bai Kui half a breath of time.
It was during this half breath that Bai Kui wrote the last four strokes of the word "Kui" and successfully survived the catastrophe of life and death!
The vengeful spirit had completely broken through Bai Kui's ice wall, and the huge ghost claws were even about to press on Bai Kui's head. However, the distance was eternal.
Bai Kui put down the judge's pen, and a shocking suction force came from the huge book of life and death in the air. No matter how the vengeful spirit struggled, it was pulled back and flew into the book of life and death...
After the two words "Bai Kui" were added to the book of life and death, it closed with a bang!
