Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 615 - 610 Yellow Spring Saint Child, Ten Halls Yama_1
No, the landing spot was his own choice. He could only blame his own bad luck for stepping into a deep pit.
"Demon Fusion Technique!"
Jia Ren wasted no time summoning Jin Sheng, merging into the Human Dragon, and returning to the state of Void Wandering.
A grayish light surrounded him as he swiped his dragon claw at an empty area. The destructive force, much stronger than before, erupted. The power of starlight appeared, and with a grating noise, it barely tore open a gap in space.
The spatial rift was less than one zhang wide. Starlight swirled around it as it rapidly sealed itself.
Jia Ren shrank his body, as if his bones were contracting, and escaped into the Void.
Finally, I’ve left!
After advancing to the Body Integration Realm, my strength is greater. Otherwise, even with the Lianxu Stage’s Void Wandering, it wouldn’t have been easy to open a passage to the Void from the Desolate Legacy Land.
Ordinary Mahayana Realm cultivators would need to master spatial Divine Skills to tear through space and escape into the Void.
The Wall of Star’s Breath’s ability to seal Bizarre Demons was not weak; no wonder the number of Bizarre Demons in Daqian Kingdom was not large.
Jia Ren stepped into the Void, continually wandering through it as he chose a new landing spot. This time, he had to calculate his position carefully, determined not to re-enter the Desolate Legacy Land.
The Human Dragon figure constantly roamed the Void, confirming its position. Jia Ren alone could not achieve this; there were no coordinates in the Void to find an exact location. Fortunately, Void Wandering included this capability, and Jin Sheng could help him pinpoint the precise landing spot.
This is the place.
The dragon claw moved, and the grayish light opened a path to that area.
Jia Ren did not attempt to tear through space on the Wall of Star’s Breath.
Tearing open the Void in front of others, revealing a pathway—did they think others were blind and would overlook it? Even a fool would realize I possess powerful stealth techniques. If the Guardians of the Wall of Star’s Breath were forewarned, it would not be advantageous for my next plans.
Jia Ren opened the passage. He carefully confirmed that there were no remnants of Immortal Evil Spirits’ power within nature’s spiritual energy, ensuring there were no hidden dangers, before entering.
This place was still some distance from the Wall of Star’s Breath.
He concealed his aura and hurried towards the Wall.
The outer area was desolate and rarely visited. Soldiers from the main garrisons and other guards were stationed in force; the closer he got to the Wall of Star’s Breath, the higher the cultivation level of the guards.
Hidden by the Deceiving the Heavens Pearl, Jia Ren was undetectable to anyone and smoothly approached the core area. The guards here wore Mysterious Armor and were well-equipped. There was no shortage of cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage and Lianxu Stage among them. Their strength was no less than that of the Qian Long Guard.
This place guarded the Wall of Star’s Breath. Its defenders not only had to fend off Bizarre Demons and Immortal Evil Spirits but also had to exile cultivators who harbored Faith Bizarre. Without a strong force guarding it, how could they withstand cultivators from the likes of the Holy Infant Sect, Crow God Cult, and Thousand Eyes God Cult coming to cause havoc?
The Wall of Star’s Breath is the most important defense of Daqian Kingdom; it wouldn’t be surprising if Mahayana Realm cultivators from malevolent cults came seeking to destroy it.
Not long after Jia Ren had sneaked in, an invisible formation’s light screen blocked his way. The formation there was profound and seemingly connected to the overall array, where a single change could affect the entirety. Using the Taiqing Jade Void Finger to break the formation would surely attract the attention of the Guardians. Once the target was on guard, it would be unfavorable for his subsequent plans.
He was in no rush and waited patiently.
After a while, a cultivator holding a Token entered. Jia Ren followed silently behind him. The formation was unable to detect the tailing Jia Ren, and he quietly slipped through.
After passing through many obstacles, he finally reached the core area.
His Heart-Mind Sensing spread out like radar, gathering all useful information.
"General Xuan Ting," a Mysterious Armor Guard was reporting to a cultivator clad in Purple Gold Armor, "Daqian Kingdom has just sent someone, claiming him to be the Yellow Spring Saint Child, destined for the Desolate Legacy Land."
The fluctuations in his cultivation level indicated he was at the peak of the Body Integration Realm. This person was likely the highest-ranking individual there.
General Xuan Ting mused, "Yellow Spring Saint Child? The Yellow Spring Worm Sect Master was sent to the Desolate Legacy Land three hundred years ago, and the Yellow Spring Worm Sect has long been eradicated. How could another ’Saint Child’ emerge? Send them into the Desolate Legacy Land together; the Bizarre Demons and the Immortal Evil Spirits will teach them how to behave."
Ordinary cult followers were usually killed on the spot; only those contaminated by bizarre forces, those no longer truly human, were sent into the Desolate Legacy Land. Bizarre Demons, cult followers, and Immortal Evil Spirits would kill each other off; they merely had to watch from the sidelines.
Soon, a cultivator whose skin was covered in pustules oozing yellowish fluid was brought over. Chains covered in Inscriptions pierced through his Dantian and shoulder blades, restricting his Yellow Spring evil powers.
The Yellow Spring Saint Child looked around with interest, not at all like a prisoner. The escorting guards wore expressions of disgust, deliberately keeping their distance, afraid of being contaminated by the yellow fluid. The light from Evil-Warding Treasures flared, guarding against potential trouble.
"The Yellow Spring Worm Sect should have been eradicated long ago!" General Xuan Ting declared, then commanded, "Send him into the Desolate Legacy Land."
He watched the Yellow Spring Saint Child, a silver Jade Seal appearing in his palm, rotating endlessly in the air. It seemed to activate some kind of formation, suppressing any possible bizarre forces. Dealing with an existence so thoroughly integrated with bizarre powers required extreme caution. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
A portal appeared in an unbroken section of the Wall of Star’s Breath. The passage within the wall spanned a hundred zhang, and the portal on its other end led directly into the Desolate Legacy Land. General Xuan Ting stared intently at the other side, vigilant against any Bizarre Demons trying to escape.
"What are you waiting for? Get in there!" one of the two guards barked. Having escorted him all the way, they were already thoroughly disgusted with the Yellow Spring Saint Child. With their palms wrapped in spiritual power, they shoved him into the passage.
"The Desolate Legacy Land and the Wall of Star’s Breath," the Yellow Spring Saint Child said, walking ahead into the passage opened by the Wall, his posture akin to one on a pilgrimage. "I’ve long heard their names, but this is the first time in my life I’ve been so close."
He then declared, "I want to try for myself whether I can destroy the Wall of Star’s Breath!"
"Seal!" General Xuan Ting’s expression changed slightly, the silver Jade Seal before him about to activate.
However, he was a step too late.
The Yellow Spring Saint Child’s body exploded. Flesh disintegrated, and torrents of yellow blood and fluids sprayed into the air. Though small in volume initially, once free of his body, they transformed into a raging river of Yellow Spring, flowing everywhere.
The two Mysterious Armor Guards following behind bore the brunt, instantly overwhelmed by the waters of the Yellow Spring. They didn’t even have a chance to scream before their bodies and souls dissolved.
The sky-filling Yellow Spring waters fell into the starlit passage within the Wall of Star’s Breath, hissing continuously as it eroded the Wall.
Destroying the Wall of Star’s Breath is the true purpose of this trip! The Wall of Star’s Breath is far more powerful than I imagined.
The Yellow Spring waters constantly struggled against the passage of the Wall of Star’s Breath. The starlit wall trembled slightly but showed no sign of breaking. The impact was much weaker than the commotion caused by the giant heart.
"Get inside!" General Xuan Ting commanded, unfazed. He was already accustomed to such displays.
Of those sent into the Desolate Legacy Land, how many would enter willingly without resisting? Many, like this Yellow Spring Saint Child, have ulterior motives. This one aimed to destroy the Wall of Star’s Breath, to release the Bizarre Demons of the Desolate Legacy Land and the Yellow Spring Worm Sect Master. The result...
A powerful rebounding force emanated from the Wall of Star’s Breath, abruptly flinging him into the Desolate Legacy Land. The passage in the Wall of Star’s Breath quickly healed, reforming into a seamless, unbroken barrier with no flaws to be found.
The Yellow Spring Saint Child can just rot in the Desolate Legacy Land!
The surging Yellow Spring waters were powerless against the Wall of Star’s Breath. The flowing waters slowly coalesced, revealing a younger-looking version of the Yellow Spring Saint Child.
I gambled correctly. If I succeed, I’ll use this fame to attract a large number of followers and restore the prestige of the Yellow Spring Worm Sect. If I fail, I’ll enter the Desolate Legacy Land and search for the Yellow Spring Worm Sect Master who was sent here.
"I hope I won’t have to spend the rest of my life here!" the Yellow Spring Saint Child muttered, glancing at the Wall of Star’s Breath before flying deeper into the Desolate Legacy Land.
For the deceased Xuanwu Guards, this was a disaster. But for General Xuan Ting, it was just a routine minor incident. He didn’t much care about the dead Xuanwu Guards either; every year, countless people scrambled to join the Xuanwu Guard. They were cheap consumables that Daqian Kingdom could produce in large quantities. Losses could be quickly replenished and were not worth grieving over.
"Clean this place up!" General Xuan Ting ordered, not lingering, and strode back to his residence.
He pushed open the door to his house. Inside was not the familiar scene, but a dark and gloomy atmosphere.
BOOM!
The door behind him slammed shut. When he turned to look, the door had vanished.
In the distant darkness, what seemed like twenty clusters of black flames flickered.
"Such mystifying tricks!" General Xuan Ting scoffed.
BOOM!
A great expanse of black qi dispersed, revealing a tall figure seated on the main throne, his body ablaze with black flames—the Yama Heavenly Child. In front of him sat nine figures wearing royal crowns and imperial robes—the Nine Hall Yamas.
This Great Divine Power, Yama Emperor, had reached the Technique-Nearing-Dao Level. It combined Yanwang View and Yanmo Proclamation Prison, merging them into its ultimate form: the Ten Halls Yama. The nine Yamas were the former Flame Demon Nine Sons, with Jia Ren as the ultimate King of Yama.
"Such audacity, daring to don imperial robes! Your crime warrants death!" General Xuan Ting exclaimed. Divine light glinted in his eyes. His hand held the Jade Seal, which seemed to possess the might to engulf all eight directions.
Despite the imposing aura of the Ten Halls Yama, he stood firm on his divine platform, unfazed. The Purple Gold Armor he wore shimmered with divine light; he did not dare underestimate his opponent. Moreover, this Divine Skill had manifested silently, bringing with it an unimaginable pressure. Without a doubt, the opponent was using a renowned Great Divine Power.
"I command the stars of all heavens! I am the Master of Stars!" General Xuan Ting declared, daring not to be careless, and activated the Jade Seal in his hand. This was the Star Seal, which controlled the Wall of Star’s Breath. It could also mobilize a portion of Star Force to augment his own body; the Star Force absorbed by the Wall of Star’s Breath over countless years would be his to command. Empowered by such an immense surge of Star Force, he could smash the head of even a Mahayana Realm cultivator who appeared before him. Using the Star Seal at the outset was enough to show how seriously General Xuan Ting regarded the Ten Halls Yama.
"This is my domain! Stars shall not enter!" Jia Ren announced.
The Ten Halls Yama created its own independent space, isolating it from the outside. This completely severed the connection between the Star Seal and the Wall of Star’s Breath, preventing him from drawing upon even a shred of Star Force.
Only then did General Xuan Ting’s expression drastically change. He finally realized the severity of the situation.
"This was specially prepared for you!" Jia Ren stated.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one’s enemy can one emerge victorious in every battle. Jia Ren had witnessed General Xuan Ting dealing with the Yellow Spring Saint Child. He knew the general could control the Wall of Star’s Breath, meaning he couldn’t rule out the possibility of Xuan Ting employing even more Star Force. To take him down, absolute secrecy was required, cutting off his connection with the Wall of Star’s Breath. The Great Divine Power Yama Emperor was most suitable, and its ultimate form, the Ten Halls Yama, could restrain the opponent.
