C2514 The Image of the Crippled God

Bang! Just as the nailhead arrow was about to be knocked back, the sinister Ghost Claw had already collided with Lin Bai's flying sword. The moment the two collided, a dull sound akin to a giant rock colliding was emitted.

The ghost claw suddenly pinched down, and countless dark qi instantly wrapped around the flying sword. The demonic black fog made people feel like the void space had turned into a black hole, able to swallow everything in the world.

In just a short moment, the flying sword's glow was completely covered by the black mist. It did not even reveal the slightest bit of its presence. It even made people wonder if the flying sword had already been destroyed by the black mist.

Without any hesitation, his hands suddenly formed a sword seal and drew out a strange trajectory in front of him. Then, he controlled his Life Marks and flew out at full speed, sensing the aura of the flying sword as it headed towards him.

The moment the Life Marks charged into the black mist, they immediately splashed into the black mist like ice water into a pan of oil, giving off waves of response. The Life Marks rushed into the black mist immediately, immediately becoming like ice water into a pan of oil, giving off waves of response.

But luckily, the Life Tattoo's power was very mysterious. It quickly rushed into the flying sword, and the two combined into one, releasing an endless light that pierced through the ghost claw, but not daring to fight back and returned to Lin Bai's palm.

Who was he, what kind of person was he, and why did he have such a method? At that instant, Leng Yanyan and the others panicked. They couldn't help but suspect whether the so-called ominous thing was actually another Immortal. That was because, other than the unfathomable immortal, they truly could not think of anyone else in this world who had such a method.

The nailhead arrow did not have any effect on it. Even the sword light of the flying sword was suppressed by the power of the ghost claw. Such a method was very shocking. One had to know that these two individuals had once been able to counter Jiang Wanli, who had turned into an immortal. However, they were still too weak in the face of an ominous situation, meaning that this person's methods were likely even more powerful than Jiang Wanli's.

"Image of the God of Disability... "He's an afterimage of a god …" At this moment, Tie Yuan could no longer suppress the throbbing in his heart. His face was filled with fear and panic, his face twisted in a ferocious expression as he roared again and again.

Image of God?! After these words were said, Leng Zhan and the rest revealed puzzled expressions. Even Lin Bai looked towards Tie Yuan in confusion. Even though he had experienced many things, he had never heard of the Image of God before. However, just from the name alone, everyone already felt that the origins of this ominous presence must be terrifying. They couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

Seeing the appearance of the crowd, although Tie Yuan was panic-stricken, he still told them about the origin of the remnant god.

Due to the unique inheritance of the Awakened Spirit Master's bloodline and their frequent interactions with Spirit Stones, their knowledge of the secrets of the heaven and earth far surpassed that of ordinary people.

And the records of the God's Broken Image was a part of the inheritance of the Awakened Spirit Master. According to the legends, there were people with great cultivation in ancient times. They were close to the demons in intelligence and possessed boundless might. They called people by the name of God and viewed them as gods walking in the world of mortals.

However, even though humans revered such people as gods, they were still unable to escape death by living in the mortal world. No matter how heaven defying one's methods were, no matter how amazing one's intelligence was, they were unable to solve the problem of their lifespan being exhausted.

However, the strength of these existences and the incredible wisdom of these existences were not something that ordinary people could fathom. And these people, in order to live forever with an immortal body, had thought of all sorts of methods. After endless effort, they finally found a path, and that path was to create a remnant image of a god.

It was said that this technique was used by people who had great abilities. When they saw everything in the world, they would have a feeling after projection. When they were on the verge of death, they would use some unfathomable method to converge all of their cultivation and strength into a projection, creating an afterimage.

This method was indeed ingenious, and after completing it, it could achieve the effect of eternal immortality. However, the moon was round and full, so there was no perfect way to deal with matters in the world. Even if one had great divine abilities, it would still be difficult to avoid regrets. This method was just like a full moon that was missing a full moon. It had a huge flaw, and that flaw was reflected in the unreplicable nature of the human soul and spiritual consciousness.

Spirit and spirituality were what could be called the origins of a human. It was because of these two things that people could slowly evolve and become the most powerful race on this planet.

And the method to create the God's Broken Statue is to merge cultivation and strength into the broken image. While cultivation and strength could be transferred, intelligence and spirituality were compatible with one's physical body. They were simply unable to be transferred.

Therefore, although the God's Broken Statue could inherit the cultivation and strength of those so-called 'gods', it could not perfectly carry their consciousness and intelligence. It could only keep them incomplete and could not be made up for. Although he was Immortal, he had become a completely different type of existence. Therefore, this magical technique could be considered a failed path. Furthermore, the price to pay for completing it was very high.

So, not long after it appeared, it disappeared into the endless river of history. The experts who could be called gods, due to the changes in time, became nothing. Only a few ripples remained, which were left for the later generations to reminisce.

Although this was a failed path, there were still people who took the risk and walked this path. Without exception, the majority of those who created the image of a deity were unwilling, or there was a type of person that could never be resolved.

This kind of person, in order to make him feel unreconciled and stubborn, to obtain a way out of this predicament, even though he knew that when he used this technique, an indescribable danger would appear, but he still chose this way.

However, this technique was too ethereal and the records of the God's Broken Statues were even rarer. Therefore, when Tie Yuan first saw the ominous image, he did not connect it with the God's Broken Statues.

However, Tie Yuan finally thought of this possibility when the Broken God's image was muddleheaded, had amazing skills, seemed lifeless, was occupied by death and had intelligence. However, he still had doubts in his heart at that time. Until now, when he saw that Lin Bai's unstoppable and unfavorable Nailhead Arrow was completely unable to connect with the ominous divine soul to achieve its effects. He was now sure that the ominous image was the statue of God!

There was actually such a thing in the world, there was actually such a strange technique! After hearing Tie Yuan's description, Lin Bai could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Even though he had come into contact with many of the secrets in the world, he had never heard of such a cunning method of pouring one's cultivation and strength into an afterimage throughout one's lifetime.

However, what Lin Bai could not understand was that since the God's Broken Statue was so strange and difficult to complete, why would this God's Image appear in the mines here unless there was someone who was unwilling and obsessed with it?

As he was thinking, Lin Bai suddenly thought of the building that he, Leng Zhan Yan and the rest were in. Could it be that the reason why there was the image of a deity this time was not because of anything else, but because someone once had the determination to guard this building? Although their lifespan was at its end, the obsession in their hearts could not be dissipated.

But if that was the case, then what was the secret behind this empty building? Although these buildings were all made from the raw stones of the Dragon King's skin, Lin Bai believed that other than the miser, if it were any other ordinary person, they wouldn't take such a risk just because of these external objects.

However, what no one noticed was that while Tie Yuan was describing the situation, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the forefather of the Yin and Water Beast. At the same time, his gaze was filled with yearning and hesitation, as if he was worried about something …

In reality, not only did he not make a move, but while Tie Yuan was narrating this, the remnant image of the deity had also not made a move against Lin Bai for the first time, but instead stood there in silence, as if he was also curious about his own origins.

"Elder Iron, since you know the origin of this remnant image of god, do you know the method to break it?" After hearing Tie Yuan's explanation, Leng Zhan immediately revealed a hopeful expression and urgently asked Tie Yuan.

"Nope." Tie Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard this. He slowly said, "This saying is only something that has been passed down through my line of Spirit Masters. Moreover, it is just a rumor that one of our family's ancestors caught wind and shadows. I only know of such an existence in this world, but where he was born and why he died, I have no way of knowing … "

As the words left his mouth, everyone present frowned. The origin of this remnant of god was so strange. The inheritance was so astonishing, and it was also immortal since ancient times. They truly could not think of any method to deal with it.

In addition, they were confident that if Lin Bai was unable to deal with this remnant statue of divinity, with its overbearing killing intent, even they wouldn't be able to escape death today. Not only them, even the disciples of the two sects outside the cave might not even be able to escape with their lives.

After experiencing many battles, after killing the Immortal, and after destroying the Spirit Spring Sect, they were finally able to rise to prominence, and everything that had originally been impossible to achieve was now radiating with the light of hope. However, at this moment, he realized that everything had very possibly come to naught in the end. All the hard work he had put in had all been for nothing, and in the end, all that he had paid for it had been for nothing.

"I somewhat understand why I exist here …" It was at this moment that a strange light suddenly flashed in the red eyes of the broken God's figure. As if he had understood something, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and then he said something that caused everyone to feel as if they had fallen into an icehouse: "You made me understand that there is no pardon for trespassing, other than death!"
