　　“Okay.”
　　The Xuanghuang Great Emperor nodded.
　　Immediately, the seven soul seals that were originally fixed in place by the Xuanghuang Great Emperor began to be pushed by the seven pale fingers and imprinted on different positions of Xu Taiping’s body.
　　“Zi zi…”
　　Accompanied by a harsh sound of the iron being burned, the irons transformed by the seven soul seals were imprinted on Xu Taiping’s body at the same time.
　　“Ah！——”
　　Under the unprecedented pain, Xu Taiping let out a heart-rending scream.
　　“Boom！”
　　In just an instant, the six golden dragons symbolizing the five-jiazi martial fortune of the Golden Scale List on his body all shattered.
　　But this was only the beginning.
After devouring Xu Taiping’s fortune from the Golden Scale List the Netherworld Life and Death Register began to continue devouring his own fortune leaving him with only bad luck in the end.
　　But even so, Xu Taiping still didn’t fulfill the exchange of the Netherworld Life and Death Register helping him kill the Seven Emperors.
　　So the Life and Death Register began to devour his lifespan.
At this moment, Xu Taiping could clearly feel that his lifespan was like the sand grains in the hourglass, beginning to pass at a visible speed.
At the same time, the soul mark that had been branded on his body was also crazily devouring the qi and blood and true essence in his body.
　　And the demonic energy in the soul mark was even beginning to erode his divine soul.
For a time, the vitality on Xu Taiping’s body dissipated, the qi and blood was exhausted, the true essence flows away and the divine soul was even torn apart bit by bit by the demonic energy.
　　The serious injuries he suffered at this time, if any one of them was taken out alone and placed on other cultivators, it would be fatal.
And just when Xu Taiping’s mind was dazed this sentence that his grandfather had said to him when he was dying suddenly came back to his mind again——
　　Taiping, strive for a breath, strive for a breath for all the ordinary bones in this world.
　　However, when he recalled this sentence at this time, what he cared most about was not the content of this sentence, but only the word “strive” in this sentence.
　　Strive…
　　Xu Taiping, who endured a burst of intense pain, suddenly raised his head and muttered to himself, and then an extremely strong thought began to emerge in his mind——
　　“That’s right, I have to fight.”
　　“I can’t just watch the Book of Life and Death take away everything from me. I have to fight it！”
　　“Even if there is only a glimmer of vitality, a drop of qi and blood, a mouthful of true essence left to fight for, I still have to fight it！”
　　At　this　thought.
While bearing unimaginable pain, Xu Taiping slowly drives the qi-refining mental method in the Cloud Riding Sutra, little by little take back the true essence that was taken away by the Book of Life and Death.
　　“Pop！”
　　At the same time, he took an extremely difficult step forward, clenched his fists, and assumed the stance of the Ancestral Saint Fist, his eyes staring fixedly at the empty front.
　　“Sorry for the offense！”
　　Only heard him shout angrily at the front without any warning, and then used a Baxia style and smashed it heavily towards the front.
　　“Bang！”
　　Although this punch only hit the air, in Xu Taiping’s mind, he had already imagined an opponent fighting fists with himself in front of him.
And the identity of this opponent was exactly the Book of Life and Death that was crazy devouring his vitality, true essence and qi and blood at this moment.
　　“Pop！”
　　“Bang！”
　　After throwing out a punch, Xu Taiping began to go all out to fight with the opponent he imagined, not caring at all that his flesh and blood was peeling off piece by piece because of the Soul Seal.
　　“Xu Taiping, don’t be random…”
　　The Great Emperor Xuanhuang beside him was about to remind Xu Taiping to concentrate on resisting the backlash of the Soul Seal, but when he said half of it, he suddenly closed his mouth and then said in a tone full of surprise：
　　“No, he is not randomly waving his fists and feet, but fighting with the opponent imagined in his mind！”
　　After thinking of this, the Great Sun Golden Flame around the Great Emperor Xuanhuang suddenly “boomed” and rose straight towards the roof. Then, only heard him murmur with a hint of horror in his tone：
　　“Could it be that he imagined the intangible Book of Life and Death as a tangible opponent and is fighting with it？”
　　Thinking of this, the Great Emperor Xuanhuang began to use his powerful divine soul and, according to the actions of the punches Xu Taiping was currently using, outline the appearance of the “Book of Life and Death” imagined by Xu Taiping in his mind.
　　“Bang,　bang,　bang！”
Once the Great Emperor Xuanhuang began to look at Xu Taiping’s crazy act in this way a extremely tragic scene of warriors fighting with fists immediately appeared in his mind.
As a result, the more he looked, the more startle he became.
　　Because he found that under this method, the speed at which Xu Taiping’s qi and blood and true essence were being devoured actually began to slow down at a visible speed to the naked eye.
　　“No, the Book of Life and Death is impossible to exchange punches with Xu Taiping. What is really exchanging punches with Xu Taiping at this moment is actually himself.”
　　“It is the self after the improvement of the boxing technique.”
　　“He is using the method of defeating the previous self with the current self to rapidly increase his true essence and qi and blood, so as to offset the loss of qi and blood and true essence caused by the Book of Life and Death to him.”
　　“He actually found a way to restrain the backlash force of the Book of Life and Death by himself！”
　　Soon, the Great Emperor Xuanhuang discovered the reason for Xu Taiping’s madness at this moment.
　　“Zheng！”
　　Just at this moment, Xu Taiping suddenly drew his knife.
　　He began to test the knife with the imagined opponent, the Book of Life and Death.
　　The Seven Kills Saber Technique, the Demon-Slaying Saber Technique, and even the Killing Saber Technique that he had just cultivated for a short time, he also displayed them one by one.
　　He was like a madman, constantly exchanging punches and testing the knife with the powerful opponent in his imagination.
　　Even competing in spells.
　　……
　　And outside the Xuanhuang Pagoda.
　　At the beginning, many cultivators watching the battle in front of the spiritual mirror were also like the Great Emperor Xuanhuang at the beginning, thinking that Xu Taiping was eroded by the eight seals on his body and became a lunatic.
　　But as Xu Taiping’s qi and blood true essence became stronger and stronger, and the boxing techniques and saber moves he displayed when sparring fists and testing the saber began to become more and more exquisite, the crowd gradually realized something was wrong.
　　“He is fighting for his life with the Book of Life and Death！”
　　Inside the Southern Chu Imperial Palace, when the old Martial God Zhu Huai realized that Xu Taiping was fighting against the opponent in his imagination, he couldn’t help but exclaim.
　　“Bang！”
　　Just at this moment, the arm with which Xu Taiping was holding the saber suddenly broke when he swung the saber.
　　After having more and more vitality and qi and blood true essence force taken away by the Book of Life and Death, his body had already reached the verge of collapsing.
　　But even in this situation, Xu Taiping just changed to the other hand and then continued to test the saber with the imagined Book of Life and Death.
　　“Crack！”
　　Not long after, Xu Taiping’s second arm broke, and the long saber in his hand fell to the ground with a “clatter”.
　　Everyone thought that at this point, even if Xu Taiping didn’t want to give up, he had to give up.
　　But in just an instant, everyone saw from the spirit mirror that Xu Taiping quickly bit the long saber that had fallen to the ground with his mouth and continued to swing the saber with his mouth to fight the enemy.
　　When everyone saw this scene, even those spectators who thought that Xu Taiping had gone crazy couldn’t help but have a trace of respect for Xu Taiping in their hearts.
　　And for an old martial god like Zhu Huai, who had long since seen that Xu Taiping was using this method to fight for his life against the Book of Life and Death, the respect in his heart for Xu Taiping was even greater beyond measure.
　　“Unable to find an opponent, he can also imagine an opponent to improve himself. This son has turned his own perseverance and determination into talent. He is simply a monster among monsters.”
　　Qionghua Sword Immortal couldn’t help but sigh at this time.
　　“Boom！ ……”
　　Just at this moment, the soul imprint of the last Demon Emperor was branded on Xu Taiping’s body intact.
　　At this point, Xu Taiping had withstood the soul imprints of all eight Demon Emperors.
　　“He succeeded… He actually really took back a life from the hands of the Book of Life and Death by himself…”
　　The old martial god Zhu Huai was dumbfounded, with a look of disbelief on his face.
　　“Shua,　shua,　shua！”
　　But Xu Taiping at this time was not aware of this. He still bit the long knife in his mouth and kept swinging the knife to chop at the opponent he imagined.
　　That appearance was both terrifying and a little heartbreaking.
　　“Little junior brother… You can put down the knife…”
　　On the twelfth-floor Ascension Platform of the Mysterious Desolation Tower, looking at Xu Taiping who was still constantly swinging the knife, senior sister Zhao Linglong’s eyes flickered with thunder light, and she murmured in a very distressed way.
　　And the Fairy Lingyue in the Lin Yuan Pavilion tightly clenched her fist and muttered with the same heartache：
　　“Taiping, that’s enough. You can put down the knife.”
　　Looking at Xu Taiping who was constantly swinging the knife in front of her, she seemed to see the scenes of the little boy in Qingniu Village climbing all the way from an ordinary bone to the leader of the Golden Scale with fists and knives.
　　“Xu Taiping！”
　　Just at this moment, the Xuanhuang Great Emperor, who had been silent in the virtual shadow of the spirit mirror, suddenly shouted Xu Taiping’s name.
　　“Zheng！——”
　　Almost at the moment when the Xuanhuang Great Emperor shouted, Xu Taiping, who was in a frenzy, suddenly turned around and slashed at the Xuanhuang Great Emperor with a knife.
　　“Boom！”
　　In the violent air explosion, the Great Sun Golden Flame protecting the Xuanhuang Great Emperor was split open by a gap by Xu Taiping’s knife.
　　“Pa！”
　　However, the Xuanhuang Great Emperor just reached out and gently patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder, and his knife intention immediately dissipated.
　　“Great Emperor？”
　　Xu Taiping, who had his arms broken, his skin and flesh cracked, and was covered in blood and dirt, looked up at the Xuanhuang Great Emperor blankly.
　　“Little Taiping.”
　　The Xuanhuang Great Emperor showed a very gentle smile to Xu Taiping and said：
　　“You won. You fought back a life from the hands of the Book of Life and Death.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping was first stunned, and then grinned and laughed.
　　Seeing this, the Xuanyuan Great Emperor suddenly dispersed the great sun golden flame around his body, revealed his true appearance, and then said with an extremely solemn expression：
　　“Since you have survived, then I, Xuanyuan, will give you a great gift！”
