Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 555 - 550: Jin Sheng Falls into a Coma, Wandering in the Void_1
Qing Yang had kept a trick up his sleeve, leaving the cultivator’s body in place.
Seeing that he had been forcibly dragged into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower and was unable to turn the situation around, he resolutely triggered his body to self-destruct.
As long as the Evil-Averting Spiritual Treasure is destroyed, I can escape to safety...
Truly cunning!
Jia Ren sealed the Dark Bizarre, intending to deal with this person’s cultivator shell at the same time.
The flesh would be fed to the Insect External Incarnation, using the Corpse-Eating Fiend Pill to learn the Great Divine Skill: Universe in the Palm.
He hadn’t expected such a turn of events.
Qing Yang had used the Great Divine Skill: Universe in the Palm multiple times, and his Spiritual Power was no longer at its peak, yet the power generated by the self-destruction was still terrifying.
A slight misstep would mean certain death for Jia Ren.
With danger looming, survival was paramount!
The Yanlong Emperor was still stable enough to act and decisively used the Five Metals Divine Escape to distance itself from the source of the explosion.
The Six Paths Refining Body Divine Light formed, and the Final Law Treasure Mirror appeared, transforming into a double layer of Dusk Treasured Light, rapidly absorbing the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth.
The Dusk Treasured Light could plunder Spiritual Energy, mitigating the impact of the Spiritual Energy assault.
Layers upon layers of Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea shadows emerged, eventually numbering in the hundreds.
With numerous protective measures active, he did everything possible to reduce the power of the cultivator’s self-destruction.
Jia Ren reacted quickly, but even so, he was a step too slow.
BOOM!
His body had just flown dozens of miles when it was blasted away by the terrifying wave of flames from the Body Integration Realm cultivator’s self-destruction.
The Spiritual Energy unleashed by the Body Integration Realm cultivator’s self-destruction was too violent. The Dusk Treasured Light absorbed only a small portion before the destructive tide arrived.
The Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea shadows were like bubbles, shattering one after another.
The Final Law Treasure Mirror likewise vanished into nothingness.
The terrifying destructive power slammed into them. The Yanlong Emperor’s dark gold scales scattered, its blood stained the sky, its flesh was minced, and stark white bones were exposed.
Were it not for Jia Ren and Jin Sheng being in the Yanlong Emperor state, their defensive strengths combined, neither could have individually withstood the self-destruction of a Body Integration Realm cultivator.
Unable to maintain the Yanlong Emperor state, the two fell unconscious, drifting in the Void.
The Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl generated a suction force, forcibly pulling the man and dragon inside, leaving only the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl drifting in the Void.
As soon as Jia Ren’s main body and Jin Sheng entered the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, they reverted to their individual forms as a man and a dragon.
The Insect External Incarnation walked to the main body’s side, took out the prepared Nine Revolutions Life Creation Pill and Soul Source Resurrection Pill, and had him consume them.
These were treasures obtained from the Second Spirit Treasure Sect. The former could revive the dead, grow flesh on bare bones, and heal even the most severe bodily injuries in a short time.
The Soul Source Resurrection Pill was a means to restore the Divine Soul, possessing incredible power—even if a Divine Soul was on the brink of extinction, a single pill could restore it to its peak.
The poison that had infiltrated Jia Ren’s Divine Soul was also completely neutralized with the help of the Soul Source Resurrection Pill.
Jia Ren slowly opened his eyes. The discomfort in his body and soul was gone, and his condition had returned to its peak.
He felt fortunate that the Second Spirit Treasure Sect had made preparations beforehand; otherwise, the trouble this time would have been immense.
Jin Sheng had also been severely injured. Upon swallowing a Nine Revolutions Life Creation Pill, its body rapidly recovered, with missing flesh and scales gradually regrowing, leaving no visible sign of injury. However, it remained in a deep slumber, yet to awaken.
The Soul Source Resurrection Pill... was gone.
He had exchanged for only two Nine Revolutions Life Creation Pills and one Soul Source Resurrection Pill, believing them sufficient to handle the crisis; he hadn’t expected such an unforeseen event.
Jia Ren had planned to find a secluded place, send some Bizarre Demons into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, gather news about the Lingbao Sect, and then leave immediately.
Two Nine Revolutions Life Creation Pills and one Soul Source Resurrection Pill should have been enough to cope with the crisis.
The Bizarre Realm was empty; at the Bronze Strange Gate, he had only found a Slow Bizarre.
To find new Bizarre Demons to add to the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, Jia Ren had no choice but to enter the Sealed Land.
Unexpectedly, he encountered the Hidden Cultivation Sect, who were fanatically destroying the Sealed Land...
Jia Ren gave Jin Sheng several Elixirs to restore its Divine Soul, doing everything humanly possible and leaving the rest to fate.
At this point, all he could hope for was Jin Sheng’s early awakening; otherwise, the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl would just drift endlessly in the Void.
Whether it awakened directly impacted his ability to leave the Void.
Jia Ren, being in the Mysterious Realm, could easily tear space with the Ji Kong Palm and enter the Void.
However, returning to the Mysterious Realm was different from entering the Void; the Ji Kong Palm couldn’t shatter space within the Void to create a passage back to the Mysterious Realm.
The only way was to rely on luck to find a weak point between the Void and the Mysterious Realm, break through this node, and then return.
Most cultivators were reluctant to enter the Void precisely because it was easy to enter but difficult to leave.
Jia Ren had a second option.
Once Mo Lin reached the Sixth Rank, it too could perform Void Wandering, and the Water Qilin could help him return to the Source Treasure Cave Heaven.
It’s down to whether Jin Sheng wakes up first or Mo Lin advances to the Sixth Rank first.
I hope the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl can hold on.
The Void not only affected cultivators but also caused significant damage to Spiritual Treasures.
If a Spiritual Treasure fell into the Void, its Spiritual Power and Spiritual Nature would steadily deplete; before long, it would turn into dregs.
Jia Ren wasn’t worried about the Spiritual Nature of the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl being compromised. As long as it was sent into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower afterward, recovery was only a matter of time.
He only hoped it would hold steady until then.
The risk and reward are not proportional!
This time, three precious Elixirs were wasted, Jin Sheng remained unconscious, and the only gain was the Dark Bizarre—hardly satisfying.
With Jin Sheng still in a coma, he hoped to find a way to awaken it from the Dark Bizarre.
With a thought, Jia Ren’s consciousness entered the thirty-third floor of the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.
This floor had been specifically reserved for the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre; unexpectedly, the Dark Bizarre now benefited from it.
Not bad, quite suitable for working!
Within the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, the Wish Bizarre produced the most Sacrificial Fire, unmatched by any other Bizarre Demon.
Next was the Dark Bizarre, its Sacrificial Fire production second only to the Wish Bizarre.
Compared to the ’hardworking’ Wish Bizarre, the Dark Bizarre was more restless.
It repeatedly used its strange powers, trying to corrupt the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.
Had it been an ordinary Evil-Averting Spiritual Treasure, the Dark Bizarre’s scheme might have succeeded, allowing it to take complete control of the treasure.
The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower was different; with a continuous supply of Wicked Flame, the Dark Bizarre’s strange power was extinguished.
Before its power could corrupt the Spiritual Treasure, it was entirely incinerated by the Wicked Flame, and its plan to taint the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower ended in failure.
No matter how many strange tricks it possessed, facing the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, it felt utterly helpless.
The Wicked Flame killed it time and again, slowly weakening its soul. Although the reduction wasn’t significant each time, the frequent deaths took their toll.
Even the powerful Divine Soul of a Body Integration Realm cultivator wouldn’t last many years before truly perishing.
Qing Yang, with his Bizarre Demon physique, couldn’t use the methods mastered by the Xuantiandao Sect and had to remain there, feeling extremely frustrated.
"Eh, you’re not dead?"
Seeing Jia Ren still alive, Qing Yang’s eyes flashed with a peculiar light, tinged with resentment and unwillingness.
He had acted in the Mysterious Realm, causing a great battle between the Xuantiandao Sect and the Lingbao Sect which resulted in heavy losses, and even provoked Beyond the Heavens to strike against the Lingbao Sect.
As the manipulator behind the scenes in the Mysterious Realm, he had ultimately fallen at the hands of a mere Lianxu Stage Cultivator.
Jia Ren’s gaze swept over him coldly. "You still haven’t grasped your situation."
He turned and left, disdaining to utter another word.
"Let me out! I will grant you Sinful Blood, making you a noble member of the Saint Race, able to control Bizarre Demon power..."
Jia Ren couldn’t be bothered to listen and decisively left the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.
Become a Bizarre Person?
Others might be tempted, but Jia Ren naturally scorned the idea.
Who would be interested in becoming a laboring Bizarre Demon for the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower? Isn’t that degrading oneself, a step down?
Jia Ren had no interest in becoming a pitiful creature suppressed by his own Lifebound Spirit Treasure.
Many Bizarre Persons had entered the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. They went from being unruly at first to utterly subservient in the end. Jia Ren believed that after some time, Qing Yang would calm down.
Jia Ren didn’t reveal his own thoughts, feigning an attitude of having requests, which allowed him to manipulate the other party.
The moment his true intentions were revealed, giving the other party leverage, it would hinder his acquisition of Divine Skills.
"We can talk this out, we can slowly..."
Before Qing Yang could finish, Jia Ren had already departed.
He projected an attitude that the initiative was in his hands and that he only wanted to see the other party die.
Bizarre Persons still possessed a human element; they feared death. To survive, they would surely give their all.
Jia Ren returned to the Cave within the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl to meditate and cultivate. Meanwhile, the Insect External Incarnation controlled the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, navigating it through the Void and trying to avoid trouble.
There were Void creatures in the Void. Though few in number, they still existed.
He could only hope his luck wouldn’t be so bad as to encounter a Void creature.
Jia Ren wouldn’t completely rely on Qing Yang; he needed to make several other preparations.
The Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl rapidly journeyed through the Void, heading in the direction of the earlier self-destruction.
If he could find the remains of the other party’s flesh and use the Corpse-Eating Fiend Pill, grasping that person’s Divine Skills and methods wouldn’t be difficult.
Not only that, but he could also easily learn the Great Divine Skill the other party possessed: Universe in the Palm.
The Void is vast, making it easy to lose one’s direction and become lost.
Finding scattered flesh in the Void is no easy task.
Flesh wouldn’t last long before dissolving in the Void; he had to act as quickly as possible.
...
The Sealed Land broke open, and the movements of numerous Bizarre Demons were no longer restricted, allowing them to spread in all directions.
The Bizarre Demons moving about were only a small fraction; many more remained secluded, with no intention of leaving.
This was not good news.
If the Bizarre Demons were concentrated in one place, the top powers of the Mysterious Realm could join forces to besiege and seal them, which would simplify the task.
Cultivators of the Hidden Cultivation Sect, carrying sealed Bizarre Demons, entered the markets and key locations of various Great Sects, releasing Bizarre Demons everywhere.
The Great Sects would not let Bizarre Demons wreak havoc in their territories. They would have to divert their resources and Evil-warding Treasures to deal with them, preventing the Bizarre Demon tide from expanding and damaging the Sects’ foundations.
As long as the Sects’ deployments were dispersed and disrupted, the forces of the Mysterious Realm couldn’t unite their strength effectively.
The Mysterious Realm, with its factions fighting independently, would ultimately be like scattered sand, posing little threat.
The Bizarre Demons, weakened by the Suppressing Bizarre Technique, were no longer at their peak power.
Only by restoring their complete forms could the Bizarre Demons possess the power to drive cultivators to despair.
The upper echelons of the Hidden Cultivation Sect would gather several powerful Bizarre Demon ’pieces’ from the Four Great Sealing Grounds, allowing them to regain their complete forms.
This was the best strategy against the top forces of the Mysterious Realm.
The Saint Race, in their efforts to break the seals, had readied a comprehensive plan.
The Mysterious Realm would change hands, becoming the new Bizarre Realm.
The roles and statuses of cultivators and the Saint Race would reverse. Cultivators would taste what the Saint Race once experienced, becoming like rats scurrying through the streets, despised by all.
