Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 614 - 609: Ruined Immortal Evil Spirits? Wall of Star’s Breath_1
Above a Black River, the river’s surface was churning tumultuously.
Above the river waves, a half-human, half-dragon figure appeared out of thin air.
Threads of nature’s spiritual energy, drawn in, began to settle into his palm.
A ball of pure white flame emerged, then vanished.
"It’s still the familiar scent, the familiar taste," he said.
The illusory Deceiving the Heavens Pearl appeared beside Jia Ren, concealing his aura. He did not revert from his Human-Dragon Form, ready to rip through the Void and escape into it at any moment.
He sensed no danger, and the Whims of the Heart likewise remained untriggered.
As the dragon transformation gradually shed, Jin Sheng, worried he might attract trouble, quickly slipped into the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl.
"The nature’s spiritual energy is rich; indeed, it is an excellent place to perform the Dusk Treasured Light," he noted.
The Southern Ming Separation Fire dealt with the Dead Immortal Will within the nature’s spiritual energy, eliminating the hidden danger and allowing him to boldly inhale the energy into his body without worry.
However, the Dead Immortal Will was ultimately a stubborn existence, and Emperor Gan, along with other Mahayana Stage Cultivators, could only be manipulated by it.
What other means might it possess? After all, it was an Immortal with numerous tactics. Even in death, it should not be underestimated.
The Dead Immortal Will held stronger control over several Immortal Treasures, and its combat power far surpassed that of a typical Mahayana Stage Cultivator.
With neither Cultivation Level nor spiritual energy in his favor, and also at a disadvantage in terms of treasures, his chances of victory were slim.
Only when Jia Ren advanced to the Integrating Body Late Stage or Mahayana Realm, and his core treasure ascended to a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, could he confidently wrestle with the Dead Immortal.
For now, it was still too early.
He transformed into an inconspicuous man, walking on the wave crests, moving with them.
Following the river, he passed through the countryside, seeking areas of human activity. He used the Heart-Mind Sensing Technique to gather intelligence and confirm his whereabouts.
"The Desolate Legacy Land?"
"Exiled here?!"
What place is this?
The Desolate Legacy Land was not within Jia Ren’s knowledge.
Strangely, he could not sense any normal Cultivators nearby; the vast majority were deranged cultists.
"ROAR!"
A powerful disturbance came from afar; a mass of blackness surged by at an astonishing speed.
The cultists, facing the blackness, had no power to resist and were easily slaughtered.
Jia Ren looked closely at the blackness; wherever it passed, the spiritual energy took on an eerie hue.
What is this thing?
That’s right, I can ask Jin Sheng for help. A Divine Beast with the memories of generations of dragonkind—a treasure in its own right.
He communicated with Jin Sheng through his consciousness, his pupils tinged with gold as he looked at the human figure formed from the blackness.
Moments later, Jin Sheng’s voice echoed in his mind.
"It seems to be the legendary Immortal Wretch Embodiment," Jin Sheng said.
"Legends say that Immortals, when they die full of resentment, have an extremely low chance to give birth to Immortal Evil Spirits."
"Immortal Evil Spirits can corrupt nature’s spiritual energy and Immortal Qi, affecting the Dao foundation of Cultivators. Those above the Divinity Transformation Stage who fall victim to its corruptive power will become Immortal Wretch Embodiments."
"Southern Ming Separation Fire is considered the nemesis of Immortal Evil Spirits and should be able to handle it without a problem—provided the fire reaches maturity, like Zhu Yan’s Southern Ming Separation Fire at its mature stage." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
What Jin Sheng implied was to avoid provoking such an entity at all costs; it was better to steer clear.
Jia Ren had not expected to encounter such a thing upon his initial arrival in this realm.
Fortunately, the Deceiving the Heavens Pearl’s power was still substantial. The mindlessly scattering Immortal Wretch Embodiment, with its very low intelligence, had no way to discover the hidden Jia Ren.
He carefully confirmed his direction, heading towards the area he had learned about through Heart-Mind Sensing.
After traveling thousands of miles, he encountered many things radiating a bizarre aura. In addition to Immortal Evil Spirits, this place was infested with a large number of Bizarre Demons.
Jia Ren stopped his Escape Light, facing a giant wall of starlight rising 3,000 zhang high and seemingly endless before him.
Above the star wall, countless Inscriptions and Formations moved with complexity and mystery.
They drew down Star Force from the sky, together constructing a massive barrier of starlight, forming a wall that obstructed the way forward.
"The Formation’s tier is not low, at least Eighth-order, likely left by an Immortal! Is this Daqian Kingdom’s method of dealing with Immortal Evil Spirits and Bizarre Demons?" he wondered aloud.
Jia Ren looked at the distant Formation with renewed interest.
The Mysterious Realm used a method of division, partitioning Bizarre Demons across the Four Great Sealing Grounds and sending people to guard them.
If the Sinful Denizens had been thoroughly dealt with, allowing the Four Great Sealing Grounds to be maintained, this state could have continued.
Now, the seals of the four places had completely broken, with many sealing materials lost to time, severing the possibility for the division and sealing technique to reappear in the Mysterious Realm.
The Mysterious Realm lacked the means to seal large numbers of Bizarre Demons for an extended period; it could not return to how things were.
However, the methods of Daqian Kingdom could be used as a reference, perhaps becoming a new Sealing Method.
Upon Jia Ren’s arrival in this realm, his initial thought was to seal the Infant Bizarre, and also to search for the Heavenly Spirit Material needed to refine the Deceiving the Heavens Pearl.
The massive Formation wall designed to counter Immortal Evil Spirits and Bizarre Demons could be worth considering.
"Let’s test the strength of this Giant Wall of Starlight!" he decided.
It would be futile to painstakingly learn such a Formation, only to find its strength falls short of expectations, incapable of resolving the Bizarre Demon threat, and wasting time and effort.
Once I confirm the sealing strength can contend with Bizarre Demons, the rest will be much easier.
Others would have to find a way to pry open the mouths of the informed for intelligence, facing all sorts of unknown Divine Skills and secret techniques, only to end up failing.
However, I simply need to kill those in the know, take their flesh, and devour it with the Corpse-Eating Fiend Pill to easily gain what they knew.
Behind him, a pair of Talisman Wings materialized, 108 Bizarre Sound Talisman Pills ready.
"Break!" he commanded.
In the next moment, all the Fu Wan detonated, forming a torrent of sonic waves that crashed violently against the Giant Wall of Starlight.
Like a barrage of knives, arrows, spears, and soldiers, they pierced into it.
The Bizarre Sound seemed to sink into the sea like a clay ox, stirring not the slightest ripple.
The 108 Bizarre Sound Talisman Pills had no effect on it whatsoever.
More powerful Bizarre Demon techniques?
Could releasing a Bizarre Demon itself to test it be the only solution?
The recently crafted Bizarre Treasures were all primarily auxiliary in nature and lacked strong offensive capabilities.
Managing powerful Bizarre Demons acquired later, such as the Sleeping Bizarre, the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf, and the Dark Bizarre, would still require time and effort to cultivate compatible Bizarre Objects.
Jia Ren devoted his energy and time to Cultivation, resulting in an almost complete halt in his research into the Bizarre.
I should try the giant Bizarre Heart!
Amongst all the Bizarre Demons I’ve acquired, this one is the strongest.
If the wall of starlight can withstand the impact of this Bizarre Demon, its strength is reliable enough for it to be the top choice.
With a thought, Jia Ren summoned the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower and the giant heart he had recently enclosed within it.
The Phoenix Flame, entirely drawn out by the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, was expelled and landed beside the Giant Wall of Starlight.
After completing these preparations and moving out of the range of the giant heart’s Bizarre power, he began the new test.
BOOM!
A colossal surge of blood energy, like a beating giant drum, vibrated ceaselessly.
Bizarre Demons can also lose their temper!
Previously, it had been confined within the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, unable to escape, and incessantly tormented by the boundless Phoenix Flame, driving it into a rage.
Tidal waves of blood crashed against the wall of starlight, and only then did the seemingly unaffected Giant Wall of Starlight begin to ripple.
Despite being repeatedly battered, the Giant Wall of Starlight remained as immovable as Mount Tai.
For the Wall of Star’s Breath, this was an extraordinary disturbance.
No sooner had the anomaly appeared than a group of Cultivators dressed in dark armor arrived. They had sensed the changes here and fixed their eyes on the distant giant heart from the start.
"What is this thing?"
"There aren’t Bizarre Demons like this in the Desolate Legacy Land, are there?"
The Desolate Legacy Land was home to numerous Bizarre Demons and exiled cultists, but most didn’t merit their close attention.
Powerful Immortal Evil Spirits and Bizarre Demons were their focus, being among the few threats that could endanger the Wall of Star’s Breath.
The giant heart was unforgettable; once seen, it was impossible to forget.
No such Bizarre Demon exists in our memory.
Where has this Bizarre Demon come from?
Could a new Bizarre Demon have been born?!
"Report this immediately. What a troublesome time."
The group kept a close watch on the giant heart, relieved only when they saw the blood’s impact merely causing the Wall of Star’s Breath to tremble, without coming close to breaking through.
Such important matters still needed to be reported to the Zhenyuan Office.
The strength of the Wall of Star’s Breath is quite impressive. I must find a way to obtain it. The inability of the giant heart’s onslaught to shake the Wall of Star’s Breath was proof enough of its reliability.
Endless streams of starlight were absorbed into the giant wall, continuously reinforcing it.
Indeed, it will become even more impregnable in the future!
Jia Ren concluded the test. The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower reemerged, taking the giant heart back into its confines.
This is a super-sized Sacrificial Fire supply pack; I can’t discard it here.
"Eh, where did the giant heart disappear to?"
The Mysterious Armor Guards, as if facing a formidable enemy, found the sudden disappearance of the giant heart baffling.
The effects of the Deceiving the Heavens Pearl were profound, far beyond their capacity to detect.
Jia Ren retrieved the giant heart before their very eyes, and not a single person could perceive his presence.
"Since there’s no problem, better to avoid creating one unnecessarily."
The Mysterious Armor Guards preferred not to overcomplicate things. Since the Bizarre Demon hadn’t affected the Wall of Star’s Breath, reporting it hastily would only cause trouble for themselves.
As Jia Ren released the giant heart, something in the Void seemed to sense it. A headless, fly-like giant began to make its way toward the world where the Daqian Kingdom lay.
How does the Wall of Star’s Breath fare against a Cultivator’s power?
A comprehensive test is necessary, to guard not only against Bizarre Demons but also against Cultivators with ill intentions.
The Mysterious Realm is the perfect example. If not for the interference by the Sinful Denizens, how could the Four Great Sealing Grounds have been broken?
Jia Ren found a spot and reached out to test the wall’s strength.
The Ji Kong Palm erupted, striking the Giant Wall of Starlight with significant force, yet without perturbing the shining starlight or causing any damage to the wall itself.
The destructive force is far less than the impact caused by the giant heart.
Good. Jia Ren was increasingly satisfied with the Giant Wall of Starlight.
If this method can be replicated in the Mysterious Realm, it will definitely become a new sealing technique.
Since people within the Desolate Legacy Land can’t break through the Wall of Star’s Breath head-on, I must resort to the old method: Void Wandering to leave and choosing a new landing spot in this world.
With this thought, Jia Ren found an uninhabited area and slapped his Ji Kong Palm towards the space.
The space rippled like water, seemingly carrying streaks of starlight.
Space that used to be easily torn asunder had now become incredibly solid, impossible to breach.
Could this be influenced by the Wall of Star’s Breath?
The Wall of Star’s Breath wasn’t just a wall surrounded by starlight; its power also affected the internal space.
I wonder... can I even enter the Void while Void Wandering?
If my escape plan fails, I’ll be trapped here forever.
Could this be a trap laid by the Dead Immortal for me?
