Peerless Taoist

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yu fell into a pool of blood. More than a dozen bloody wounds appeared on his body, accompanied by intense pain.    

The world in front of him had become dark and bloody.    

The air was filled with a thick smell of blood. Lu Yu also felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more fuzzy.    

"There's no need to hide anymore. Come out. Didn't you keep observing me?" Lu Yu shifted his gaze to the void at the side.    

In the hazy sky of the night, a violent ripple suddenly appeared in the space. Then, an old man walked out from it.    

The old man was like a phantom, ethereal and incorporeal, merging with the surrounding spatial zone.    

"This time, if you die, you won't have a chance anymore."    

The old man looked at Lu Yu with a profound gaze. "Can you feel your powerlessness? You are just a mortal now, you have lost your extraordinary strength. You are nothing."    

"The ninth floor of the pagoda will only give you three chances. If you lose all three chances, you'll fail the challenge. "    

Lu Yu said plainly, "Is this the so-called Heart Refining?"    

"The Heart Refining is to test the deepest fear in your heart, and then dig it out and let you face it."    

"In the outside world, perhaps you can possess strength beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but in the depths of your heart, you are still that beggar in the mountain Temple. If you don't have enough opportunities, you won't be able to climb to where you are today!"    

" This is your fear! You're afraid that if you don't meet that old beggar, and you don't obtain the medicine to temper your body, you'll just be an ordinary mortal, and you won't even have the qualifications to cultivate!"    

The old man looked at Lu Yu with pity. "Look at you now. Without magic power and a powerful body, what awaits you is death, just like an ant."    

The surrounding wild wolves were still eating away at Lu Yu's body.    

His tiny body was covered in blood in the blink of an eye. Broken flesh mixed with broken bones kept seeping out from his body.    

Soon, Lu Yu was going to die.    

The old man was waiting silently by the side. He was the weapon spirit of the pagoda, and had been paying attention to Lu Yu from the beginning.    

Lu Yu's advancement from the first level to the ninth level had already attracted all of his attention.    

He wanted to see how Lu Yu would react when faced with the deepest fear in his heart.    

However, he still failed in the end. There were no accidents.    

There was once a peerless genius who had broken into the ninth floor. However, he was faced with a situation where his Dao heart had collapsed, and he had fallen into a state of confusion. In the end, they became muddle-headed and did not have any new breakthroughs in their lives.    

At this moment, Lu Yu even had a feeling that an invisible fog was shrouding his Dao heart.    

With this fog, Lu Yu's Dao Heart seemed to be covered by a layer of dust.    

Lu Yu also realized it.    

However, at the last moment before his death, he revealed a mocking smile.    

"I don't have any magic power, I don't have a strong enough physical body. However, wanting me to die here is absolutely impossible."    

Lu Yu's hand had been tightly grabbing the head of a wild wolf.    

At this moment, Lu Yu's physical life stopped abruptly.    

On the ninth floor, a mysterious force suddenly appeared. The image extracted the soul from Lu Yu's body.    

Lu Yu's soul was about to float out, and the surrounding scene also became hazy.    

However, at this moment, Lu Yu's soul was suddenly attracted by some kind of force, and gradually moved away.
