What If I Can't Die?

by Legrev

Song Shi came to an immortal world where demons and monsters were rampant. He thought he was going to take a trepidatious road to immortality, but ended up awakening to a death-defying system, gaining strength from death and getting stronger every time he died. The whole style took a sudden change. Other people cultivated to seek immortality, but he was already immortal, and could

241 True Supreme Yang Fire

No one on the stage dared to provoke Song Shi again. They did not even dare to mock him. Otherwise, if they were targeted by this guy, their half a day of hard work would be for naught.

"Crazy, this guy is really crazy!"

"You don't focus on climbing the Immortal opportunity platform and fight with others. Do you really think you can't use up all your Nomological power?"

"Maybe this old ghost is just covering for the other members of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. He hasn't thought about how far he can go."

The people below the stage started discussing. This time, not to mention Great Qian, even people from other countries knew about the Blood-Robed old ghost now. After asking casually and knowing the situation, they all felt that this person was crazy.

After Song Shi dealt with the Ye Family, he looked at the treasure at the three thousandth steps.

This was the threshold of the mystic realm reward. Light balls floated in the air behind the three thousandth steps. There were thousands of them distributed in different areas. The higher they went, the fewer they were. Their value increased correspondingly.

Treasures that were usually very rare could be seen here. Puppets, ancient talismans, formation plates, and so on could be seen everywhere.

After climbing another thousand steps in one go, Song Shi sized up the ball of light floating above his head.

There were all kinds of Dharma treasures, ingredients, and elixirs… There was a dazzling array of them, and they were even more abundant than in the trading company.

After a quick scan, Song Shi suffered from difficult choice.

"This flying sword looks good."

"The puppet is very exquisite. It's actually similar to a real person."

"There are also quite a few medicinal pills…"

Song Shi pondered as he walked.

He did not lack Dharma treasures and talismans. Firstly he had two Numinous treasures and also the Heavenly Talisman Techniques that allowed him to condense talismans at will.

He did not lack cultivation techniques. The Nine Yang Divine Technique and the Pure Yang Scripture were both divine techniques and immortal techniques. There were many divine powers and spells, but there was a limited number of high-end divine powers and spells.

In this way, he only needed to choose medicinal pills, divine powers, and the stranger, unique things.

"No matter how high-end the rewards of the first level are, they won't be that high. There's no need to consider cultivation techniques and divine arts."

In the end, Song Shi chose pills and other treasures that could increase his cultivation level. Now that he had condensed the seventh Golden Core, he still needed majestic energy. He could use it immediately after obtaining it.

It was just that there were many types of medicinal pills. He could not be 100 percent sure if they were what he needed with just his naked eye. He could only rely on luck.

With that thought in mind, he continued climbing the steps. After one thousand more steps, the pressure had already doubled, and it was present every moment.

Song Shi was not too affected. After walking a few hundred steps, he saw a ball of light. There was a ball of golden flames inside, emitting an extremely yang aura.

"What is this? This is what I need!"

Song Shi became interested and walked towards the ball of light.

He was not in a straight line with his target. The path he took diagonally would be further, and he would consume more energy in the end.

When Chen Yiling and the others saw Song Shi's movements, they were rather speechless. Was this person really walking around the 'market' as he pleased?

"We'll just choose a reward from the place we pass by. There's no need to waste our energy looking for it like him."

Luo Chi comforted himself. "All we have to do is climb more steps. The shortest straight line."

"Not many people walk diagonally. I'm impressed."

Lu Youyou complained and looked at Chen Yiling, "Where are you from?"

"Elder told me not to talk to you." Chen Yiling used Song Shi as a shield.

…

Song Shi had already left the team and walked down the stairs one by one. Soon, the pressure was comparable to three times that of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

This time, Song Shi's footsteps also slowed down a little. The three times pressure was omnidirectional, and it was present both inside and outside. The speed at which his Dharmic powers circulated clearly slowed down, and every move he made seemed to be dragging something.

"According to this ratio, if you want to complete the steps, you have to withstand at least ten times the pressure of the same level. Moreover, it's not in a short period of time. You have to complete a thousand steps."

Song Shi took a deep breath. He thought that his foundation was not bad, but he really did not have much confidence in surviving ten times the pressure.

He temporarily focused on what was in front of him and began to adjust his state.

No matter how deep his foundation was, there was no need to waste his energy. He also wanted to improve his control over his strength under the pressure of this step.

He estimated that apart from testing the foundation of the mystic realm, it also had the purpose of testing the cultivator's ability to control his powers. If he did not waste any energy, the chances of successfully reaching the top would naturally be higher.

Of course, he estimated that there was also a problem of choice. One had to give up something to gain something. With so many treasures in front, it was easier to be distracted.

"I made too many mistakes."

Song Shi had a strange thought as he continued walking.

He collected his thoughts and quickly adjusted his state of mind.

Under the pressure, Song Shi was forced to learn how to accurately control the circulation and consumption of his strength, speed and Nomological power. Even the distribution of his Spiritual strength must be particular.

Song Shi was different from the other cultivators.

Ordinary cultivators had to consider their consumption to prevent themselves from falling into danger due to insufficient Nomological power.

As for Song Shi, he could be fully recovered after his resurrection. His Nomological power was especially abundant, several times that of ordinary cultivators of the same level. There was no need to consider conservation.

It was equivalent to starting from scratch to make up for some of his shortcomings.

His powerful Comprehension allowed him to learn very quickly. However, when he reached the three thousandth step, his entire body was already covered in sweat, and his breathing became hurried.

In front of him, a ball of light floated. There was a high-grade Dharma treasure inside.

Song Shi did not even look at it. His Physique was comparable to Dharma treasures, so there was no need for him to take too many Dharma treasures.

He walked past the balls of light and approached the six thousandth step.

This meant that the treasure in the ball of light was about to reach the second level.

Upon closer inspection, pure fire attribute power spread out through the ball of light, causing the nearby temperature to rise and constantly distort.

"What pure fire attribute power. It seems to be a flame similar to my Pure Yang True Fire."

Song Shi was deep in thought. He slowly walked over and was about to reach out to take it.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, right?"

A slightly domineering voice sounded from behind the door. "I've already reserved this. It's best if you don't touch it."

Song Shi could not be bothered to turn his head. He grabbed the ball of light and received a message.

The same reward could only be obtained once!

He was not surprised and continued to make contact.

Puchi!

The ball of light shattered, and a wisp of pure golden flames appeared like the sun. Song Shi hurriedly released the Pure Yang True Fire to envelop it and realized that it was still lacking.

"What kind of fire is this!"

Song Shi was surprised. His Pure Yang True Fire was even more powerful than ordinary ones. It belonged to the Nine Yang True Fire, but it was inferior to these flames.

"Hand over the Supreme Yang True Fire!"

A harsh voice sounded from behind him. Then, a red flame attacked, wanting to snatch this wisp of fire.

With a backhand slap, a dragon roar soared into the sky. With a bang, the person who attacked was forced back.

Song Shi glanced at him. He did not recognize the red-haired youth. His gaze landed on the fire in his palm. "So it's the Supreme Yang True Fire!"

The Supreme Yang True Fire was stronger than his Nine Yang True Fire. Only when he condensed all nine Golden Cores and merged the Nine Yang into one could he further cultivate the Supreme Yang True Fire.

There was a wisp here. Not to mention that absorbing and refining it could increase his cultivation, if he used it to comprehend, it would also help his cultivation level increase.

242 Water Spirit Root Caused by the Demon Fire

This was a flame that could only be cultivated when his Nine Yang Divine Technique reached the next realm. With this flame, he might be able to do it in advance.

To him, the Supreme Yang True Fire was very precious, and it was the same for others.

"Hand it over. This is not something you have the right to take!"

The red-haired youth berated.

"Where did this annoying brat come from?"

Song Shi's Nomological power surged as he put away the wisp of Supreme Yang True Fire. He would first resolve the problem here before absorbing and refining it.

He sized up the person. His eyebrows and hair were red with flames. His eyes were also red, as if two balls of flames were burning.

The bridge of his nose was sharp and slightly curved. He had an aquiline nose and was wearing a red feather cloak. He looked rather strange.

Sensing the other party's aura, Song Shi snorted coldly. "I don't think you're human. What's your main body?"

"I'm the Crown Prince of the Crimson Crow Clan of the East Sea. This Supreme Yang True Fire originally belongs to my clan. If you know what's good for you, take it out!"

The red-haired youth proudly revealed his background. A few more of his clansmen walked over and surrounded Song Shi.

Crimson flames danced all over their bodies, and their auras were powerful.

There were nearly six thousand steps here, and the pressure was already six times greater than those of the same level. Other than panting heavily, these demons did not seem to be under much pressure.

Song Shi narrowed his eyes. If not for the fact that he had six Golden Cores, the Diamond Spirit Body, and the Spirit Golden Core, he would definitely not be able to stand here.

It could be seen that these demons had a deep foundation. They were definitely not ordinary demons.

"Haha, that old monster is running around everywhere. Did he get into trouble?"

"Of all people, he provoked the Crimson Crow race. This race has the bloodline of the Golden Crow and is definitely a spirit bird race."

"Let's see if he'll give in. If he continues to be stubborn, he'll probably be burned to death on the spot."

Those who were unhappy with Song Shi laughed and teased him on the spot. They looked at Song Shi, who was surrounded by the seven Crimson Crows halfway up the mountain, with interest.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, don't fight them. The Crimson Crow race's demonic flames are notorious. You can't defend against them."

Outside the Immortal opportunity platform, Jiang Sha, who was floating in midair, reminded.

The Crimson Crow Crown Prince took a step forward and a wave of fire surged out, causing the air to distort violently.

Pure Yang True Fire appeared on Song Shi's body, isolating him from the heat waves. He said indifferently, "Spiritual bird? I've never eaten meat of your level. Do you think it's better to roast then eat you?"

Jiang Sha held his forehead. This fellow was still provoking him. There was no saving him today.

"You're the first human who dares to talk about me as food in front of me. Very good!"

He opened his mouth and spat out red flames that surged out, turning into a huge fire crow that screamed as it pounced at Song Shi.

Not only him, but the other six Crimson Crow prodigies also attacked at the same time. Instantly, the seven Fire Crows formed a huge fire net, leaving Song Shi with no way to escape.

They did not fight alone. That would be a waste of Nomological power. If they attacked together, the price of quickly surrounding and killing them would be minimal.

Faced with the surging heat waves, Song Shi used a portion of his Pure Yang True Fire to block them. His entire body turned into a sun.

The Crows' cries sounded one after another. The power of these Fire Crows was corrosive. After sticking to the Pure Yang True Fire, they began to tear and devour it in large mouthfuls.

"Your cultivation technique is not bad. You can actually cultivate such pure true fire. We're lucky!"

A fiery light flashed in Crimson Crow Prince's eyes as he opened his mouth and sucked. The Pure Yang True Fire on Song Shi's body turned into lines and was sucked into his mouth.

"It's delicious!"

He evaluated and began to swallow.

The other Crimson Crows did not stand on ceremony either. The Pure Yang True Fire released by Song Shi disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Song Shi's expression changed slightly. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange fire attribute expert. For a moment, he was really flustered.

He turned around and restrained the Pure Yang True Fire, but the surrounding Fire Crows' mouths were especially sharp. Coupled with the high temperature, they could easily break through his Defense and devour his Pure Yang Nomological power.

"I can only attack, I can't defend myself at all!"

Song Shi pondered and found a way to deal with it.

However, he was not in a hurry to counterattack. These fellows were so powerful. If he did not die a few times first, how could he be worthy of the provocation just now?

His dispirited state was seen by everyone, and they all shook their heads.

"This Blood-Robed old ghost is going to be burned alive."

"The Crimson Crow Clan is born with the ability to devour the Sun Essence Fire to cultivate. His true fire can be devoured by them and he actually foolishly gave them a chance."

"I think his Blood Refinement Sect's methods will be countered today as well. He'll be reduced to ashes on the spot and his soul will dissipate!"

Especially the Vajra Sect and Ye Family who had a grudge against the Blood-Robed old ghost, they were happier than anyone else at Song Shi's misfortune.

Jiang Sha could only sigh, "Run now, there is still a chance. As long as we get off the stage, they will not pursue us."

When Song Shi heard the discussions in the distance, he pursed his lips and pretended that he could not withstand it. He was swallowed by the fire crow and let out a miserable cry.

This time, the scream was real. It was very painful to be burned by the fire. His body, which was comparable to Dharma treasures, could not withstand it and melted on the spot.

"Be careful. Don't burn his storage ring."

The Crimson Crow Crown Prince had already treated Song Shi as a dead person and began to consider collecting the spoils of war.

Without Defense, Song Shi's body could not withstand the flames and soon turned into ashes.

When he saw Song Shi being burned to death, Crimson Crow Prince sneered. "In the face of fire, no matter what divine power you have, you will be reduced to ashes."

He waved his hand. "That's enough. Don't burn his storage ring. That will be too much of a loss."

While he was calculating the gains and losses, Song Shi, who had already turned into ashes, experienced a new method of death.

Being burned to death.

…

"Ding… congratulations on being burned to death by the Demon Fire and awakening the Water Spirit Root!"

"You died and your soul was destroyed. You absorbed power from death. The reward is super doubled. Freedom Attribute points 1,200!"

Ding… congratulations on being killed by a new target…

A familiar notification appeared. The reward this time was new. It was a water spiritual root that Song Shi did not have!

He was a little stunned.

"Killed by Yin spirits to awaken the Fire Spirit Root, killed physically to awaken the Gold Spirit Root, burned to death to awaken the Water Spirit Root, the system adds the corresponding attribute roots for me to fight against whatever killed me. How effective."

Song Shi thought to himself. In that case, what should he do to achieve the Wood Spirit Root and Earth Spirit Root?

Swoosh!

Three seconds later, he appeared on the spot, unharmed.

"It hurt!"

He stared at the shocked Crimson Crow youth and grinned.

As he cultivated Yang cultivation techniques to begin with, he was usually not afraid of fire. This was the first time he had been burned to death.

Today, he experienced a new wave of death. He had not come in vain.

Due to the high level of death experienced, he had awakened a low-grade water spiritual root in one go. If he did it a few more times, he might be able to obtain a top-grade water spiritual root.

"Substitution Technique?"

Crimson Crow Crown Prince was bewildered. He had clearly watched as this fellow was burned to ashes, but in the end, he was still unscathed. Other than the substitute technique, he could not think of a way that Song Shi was able to avoid the siege.

Song Shi stared at the guy who was judged by the system as the last hit, "Your firepower was not enough. I'll show you how I make barbecue crows now."

"Do you think we can't kill you just because you have a substitute technique?"

Crimson Crow Crown Prince had a proud expression. "We only used an insignificant amount of Nomological power just now. With our strength, it's easy for us to burn you to death a hundred times. How many times can you dodge us?"

He signaled with his eyes, and the clansmen dispersed further and surrounded Song Shi.

This time, there was no way out.

243 Metamorphosis of Two Great Physiques

"A three-hundred-and-sixty-degree barbecue pit with no blind spots. Not bad."

Song Shi was very satisfied. He was surrounded by the fire and died even faster.

It was just too painful. He had to find a way to isolate the pain.

Song Shi sealed a few acupuncture points and nerves to temporarily make himself lose consciousness so that he could better receive the tempering of the blazing fire.

Seeing that Song Shi's expression did not change, The Crimson Crow Crown Prince could not be sure what other trump cards this person had. His gaze shifted and he said, "Form the Golden Crow Burning Heavens Formation!"

The seven of them formed seals at the same time and released flames to form a huge fireball. Their powers condensed into one. Not only could they trap Song Shi, but they could also conserve their Nomological powers.

The fireball transformed into the shape of a golden crow. It was less than thirty feet tall and its power was very condensed. It was as if it had swallowed Song Shi into its stomach. The firepower was even more terrifying than before.

"This can be considered as entering a special furnace, I wonder how I will benefit from it."

Song Shi calmly looked at the red flames and thought about other things. He was not in a hurry at all.

"Burn!"

Crimson Crow Prince stared fixedly. This person still did not show any signs of struggling. He wanted to see how he could escape!

In the end, he only saw Song Shi put away his things and face death calmly.

The flames landed on his body. As most of the pain was cut off, Song Shi did not cry out from the heat this time.

He watched quietly as the protective golden light melted and the Array Formation destroyed the resistance of his Spirit Body. Subconsciously, he activated the second volume of the Imperishable Golden Body.

Yin Yang Chapter.

Mixed Yuan gave birth to Yin and Yang, and its power was limitless.

With the addition of the water spiritual root in his body, Song Shi felt that this chapter was much easier to comprehend and cultivate.

Previously, his Pure Yang Nomological power was too masculine. Now that he had both the water and fire origins and the Yin Yang Dao, the Yin and Yang energies in his body circulated faster and used the power of the demon fire to temper his body.

Red and white light appeared on his body, and he gained the power of Yin and Yang.

The light was quickly burned by the red demonic fire, but it didn't have much effect.

Under the even more powerful Burning Heaven Formation, Song Shi's persistence became shorter, and his entire body was quickly burned to charcoal.

He stared at the figure that had turned into ashes. In the next second, a living person replaced the charcoal.

"Here we go again!"

The Crimson Crow Crown Prince's expression was the same as the people who had faced Song Shi's resurrection previously. His expression was extremely ugly.

This person was like a phoenix undergoing nirvana. He had actually revived again!

Song Shi deliberately smiled provocatively, "Use more firepower. It's not enough!"

Crimson Crow Prince had a solemn expression. "What's the background of this person?"

"I heard those humans call him the Blood-Robed old ghost. He seems to be quite famous."

The clansmen beside him replied.

"I've never heard of him in our demon race. He's not that famous. It's just that his trump card is strange. He can resist the Burning Heaven Formation under our noses."

Crimson Crow's expression was disdainful and serious, "Again, this person has a secret that we must uncover."

The flames still enveloped Song Shi. Outsiders could not see the situation clearly. They only saw fire crows burning the same spot continuously.

After resurrecting, Song Shi's water spiritual root had increased by a level, and the water origin in his body had become purer.

Fire was yang, water was yin. Song Shi had some insights into the Yin Yang Dao. Under the pressure of external forces, the yin and yang energies in his body circulated faster.

The Diamond Spirit Body, which had already reached its limit, underwent changes under the calcification of the demonic flames. As the Yin-Yang Origin fused, it transformed from the inside.

After Song Shi was resurrected, he was burned to death again, and the cycle repeated endlessly.

After three times, his water spiritual root was upgraded to medium-grade. After ten times, Song Shi had a high-grade spiritual root and was constantly approaching the top-grade.

At the same time, his body underwent another transformation.

Water Spirit Root, Fire Spirit Root, Sword Body Spiritual Conduit, Diamond Spirit Body, and other Talents began to fuse under the refinement of the demonic flames under the operation of the Imperishable Golden Body.

It was as if he was refining Dharma treasures. Song Shi's flesh and blood became stronger and stronger as he was reborn. Gradually, a glow appeared and he became a living being.

When Song Shi used the demonic flames to increase his strength, the people watching the show had different expressions.

"What's going on? It's been so long, but he's still not dead?"

"With the demonic flames isolating us, we can't see the situation. However, judging from the expressions of Crimson Crow and the others, he is probably not dead."

"He's quite capable. He didn't even die despite all these."

It wasn't just the Qian forces. Cultivators from other countries were also paying attention to Song Shi.

In the past, there had been competitions for rewards in the Immortal Dao Meet, but there had never been anyone who could persist for such a long time without dying when their strength was at the same level.

They secretly understood that this Blood-Robed old ghost's life-saving ability was originally very strong. There must be a reason why he was temporarily not dead under the siege of the Crimson Crow race's demonic flames.

Those who were watching the show did not care about Song Shi's life. Their enemies wished that Song Shi would be reduced to ashes as soon as possible. There were also people who did not wish for Song Shi to die.

"Don't die."

Chen Yiling was a little anxious.

Her spiritual sword was still in this person's hands. If the Crimson Crow Race obtained Song Shi's belongings, how was she going to get her spiritual sword back?

Lu Youyou sensed her nervousness and said, "Ling'er, don't be anxious. He hasn't been forced to use his other methods. He definitely won't die."

"Although I don't like this old ghost, I still admire his life-saving ability."

Luo Chi nodded, "With his previous performance, he's probably still playing around with the Crimson Crows."

Chen Yiling could not help but recall the scene when the Ye Family cultivators attacked Song Shi. They did not manage to kill him no matter what and were even killed by Song Shi in return.

This scene was really similar to back then. Perhaps he was doing it on purpose.

As the Crimson Crow Clan's expression became uglier and uglier, they became in a dilemma.

Maintaining the Burning Heaven Formation required continuous consumption of Nomological power, but it still did not completely kill this person.

If they did not maintain it, coupled with all they had done till now, it was very likely that all their efforts would be in vain.

"Is he even human?!"

Crimson Crow Prince gritted his teeth. "Why are his methods even more demonic than the methods of us demons? The more he burns, the more powerful he looks!"

At that moment, Song Shi's entire body was circulating with red and white light, turning into a Taiji ball. His flesh and blood underwent some kind of transformation, and he was full of vitality.

Song Shi's water spiritual root was burned to the extreme. At the same time, under the guidance of the Imperishable Golden Body's Yin-Yang cultivation technique, his fused essence, qi, and spirit underwent a sublimation, and his flesh turned golden.

"Ding… Congratulations on awakening a Pure Yang Spirit Body!"

Low-grade Pure Yang Spirit Body: The body is refined by the Pure Yang Demonic Flame. It is a Connate Spirit Body. Its flesh and blood contain Pure Yang True Fire. It is extremely Yang and firm. It can destroy all evil in the world.

Ding… congratulations on awakening the Golden Divine Body!

Low-grade Golden Divine Body: The Diamond Spirit Body is formed by absorbing the Yin-Yang Origin. It is the first Postnatal Golden Divine Body. Its Physique can be increased by five times, and its combat strength is powerful.

Hearing the system notification, Song Shi was stunned.

This time, he had actually transformed two Physiques in one go!

The former focused on Nomological power. It was formed after he was tempered by the demonic flames and his flesh transformed into a Pure Yang Spirit Body. His Pure Yang True Fire had fused with his body.

As for the Diamond Spirit Body that had transformed into a divine body, it focused on defense and strength. His combat strength would increase even more now.

Moreover, because he had a Postnatal Divine Body, he could already be considered to have reached the Great Mastery realm and could directly erupt with powerful combat strength.

Moreover, this Physique seemed to be similar to the physique of the Ye Family. He did not know if it was the exact same.

244 I'll Start Roasting Crows From You

His new physique was even more fire-resistant, and the time it took to achieve destroy this body was clearly longer.

"Second Brother, he seems to have obtained some benefits. How is that possible?!"

"Could it be that he's using our True Fire to cultivate something?!"

"Why don't we stop? We've already expended a lot of Nomological power. It's affecting the official quest."

The few members of the Crimson Crow Race discussed in secret and began to feel that it was not worth wasting their energy on this strange human.

Seeing that the demons did not want to kill him, Song Shi hurriedly provoked them. "Why? Are you out of strength? Have you not eaten? Why don't I help kill one of you and roast you for extra food?"

The few of them were originally quite angry. After being provoked, they burned Song Shi to death three more times in anger.

"Not bad. Continue."

Song Shi encouraged the demons instead. His Pure Yang Spirit Body was improving faster than the Golden Divine Body. The true fire contained in his flesh and blood was increasing, and his Pure Yang Spirit Body was becoming stronger.

In the future, he did not need to release any Nomological power. His flesh and blood now carried the Pure Yang True Fire.

In theory, the Pure Yang True Fire had become his talent. It was a little like these demons' innate demonic flames.

As for the power of the Golden Divine Body, it focused on the bones and muscles. It had powerful explosive power and was different from the Pure Yang Spirit Body that focused on true fire.

However, with his divine body as the foundation, his Spirit Body improved very quickly. After dying a few times, he was about to reach mid-grade.

The stronger his Physique was, the better Song Shi's condition would be. Even if he did not take the initiative to resist, the time he would have to withstand the demonic flames would also increase.

Seeing that Song Shi was even more refreshed, the seven red crows felt like they had seen a ghost.

What was going on? Why was this person getting stronger the more times he was killed? Could it be that they were hallucinating?

No one could maintain their rationality while Song Shi was constantly reviving.

This was especially so when he saw that many people had already reached the same level one after another. Some had even stepped onto the six thousandth step and started to obtain second-grade rewards.

This made them even more anxious.

The Crimson Crow Crown Prince suppressed his anger. "There's something wrong with this person. We'll investigate his secrets in the future. Let's not waste Nomological power on him first. Retreat!"

He took the lead and retracted his Nomological powers. The array formation that sealed Song Shi slowly dissipated.

In the fireball, Song Shi, who was thinking of raising his Pure Yang Spirit Body to the top-grade as soon as possible, frowned, "Where's the fire?"

Through the slowly dissipating flames, he realized that the few of them were stopping.

The faces of the seven Crimson Crows darkened. They felt that they had provoked a mad dog. If they couldn't kill it, they would be in trouble.

"Human, I'll let you be smug for a few days. I'll deal with you after we leave this place."

The Crimson Crow Crown Prince muttered angrily. Even though he lost face, he did not hold back on his words.

"Did I let you go?"

Song Shi's words made The Crimson Crow Crown Prince and the others' eyes darken, but they still turned around and said, "Forget about him. Let's get a reward nearby and continue climbing."

"Fifth Brother, deal with him. If you really can't, just suppress him."

The Crimson Crow Crown Prince felt that he could no longer be entangled with this abnormal human, especially before figuring out how the other party could avoid their killing move.

They turned around and began to choose the appropriate treasures before entering the six thousandth step.

"If you guys don't do it, I'll do it."

Song Shi suddenly erupted like a ferocious dragon emerging from the sea and charged towards one of the Crimson Crows.

He ignored the Fifth Brother who was arranged by the Crimson Crow Crown Prince and attacked the other Crimson Crows.

This guy was ranked sixth and had chosen a bottle of fire attribute medicinal pills. Before he could open it to take a look, a violent attack came from behind.

"Be careful, Sixth Brother!"

The Fifth Brother did not expect this human to be able to unleash such a powerful attack. Under the pressure of six times the same level, his speed was still so fast. He did not have the time to defend himself at all.

Sixth Brother, who was also the sixth prince of the Crimson Crow Clan, had already reacted. The feathers on his clothes stood upside down, and red flames were released as he retaliated. Nomological power condensed into the Crimson Crow and let out a loud cry.

An even larger golden fire dragon attacked. It swallowed his Fire Crow in one bite and pushed him down more than a hundred steps.

Boom!

The power of the fire dragon hit the steps and only made them tremble slightly. As the runes blinked, the impact was quickly dispersed without causing any damage.

The Sixth Crimson Crow, who was inside, did not have such a strong defense. Its chest was caved in and its bones were broken. Blood kept flowing out of its mouth.

He was a little stunned. He was a dignified late-stage Golden Core cultivator as well as a demon cultivator. His body was powerful, so how could he be beaten to such a state by a human?

Before he could make the next step of his defense, Song Shi, who was standing at the Fire Dragon's reverse scale, stabbed out with his spear and pierced through him on the spot.

The Golden Spear was a Dharma treasure and could not unleash its power here. However, Song Shi had no problem using it as a normal weapon.

"Ah!"

The sixth prince of the Crimson Crow Race screamed miserably. Crimson blood flowed out like magma, releasing a shocking temperature.

"Crown Prince, save me!"

He let out a miserable cry. If it was outside, he would not be in such a sorry state. However, here, his Defense Dharma treasures were useless and his heart was pierced by someone using primitive methods.

"Stop!"

Fifth Brother had arrived in front of Song Shi. A red dagger appeared in his hand, and he too used Dharma treasures as ordinary weapons to attack.

Without even looking, Song Shi grabbed Sixth Brother's neck. "I will start by roasting you!"

Crack!

Crimson Crow's Sixth Brother's neck was broken. The latter widened his eyes. The powerful vitality prevented him from dying. Instead, he instantly returned to his original form and pecked Song Shi's eyes with his sharp beak.

His clansmen also stabbed Song Shi's heart from behind. The two attacked from the front and back. One counterattacked before death, and the other went all out. Coupled with the help of the high temperature of the demonic flames, their attacks were very powerful.

Two bloody holes appeared on Song Shi's body. He lowered his head and looked at the dagger that had appeared in his chest, "You're next."

Then, he was killed by the Fifth Prince of the Crimson Crow Race and died on the spot.

At the same time, the sixth prince of the Crimson Crow Clan died. The two of them fell to the ground.

The Crimson Crow's original form was very big. It was more than ten meters long and covered many steps. There were flames jumping around.

Blood kept flowing out. Most of it belonged to the Crimson Crow. It was like a pool of lava that emitted a terrifyingly high temperature.

The Fifth Prince's expression was similar to the bottom of a pot. "Damn it, I was a step too late. I hope he doesn't come back to life. Otherwise, Sixth Brother will have died in vain!"

Everything went against his wishes. With a flash of light, Song Shi opened his eyes from the Crimson Crow Blood on the stairs. He grinned at the Fifth Brother, whose pupils had shrunk. "Are you surprised?"

"You must die!"

The Fifth Prince was already hysterical. He held his dagger and Dharma treasures and stabbed them at Song Shi's heart.

His dagger was refined from the claws of a deceased senior in the clan. It was exceptionally sharp and comparable to Numinous artifacts. In a fit of anger, its might was even stronger. With a puff, it pierced through his heart with great difficulty.

Song Shi smiled calmly, "Continue."

Then, his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground, dead.

His smile made the Fifth Prince's hair stand on end. This person was actually lying on the ground for him to kill. How was this possible?

Normal people would avoid him as much as possible. There was definitely something strange about this person's actions. From the beginning to the end, this person had been playing tricks on them.

"Crown Prince, what… what should I do?"

He looked at the other side blankly, and the latter snorted. "If I knew how to deal with it, would I still be standing still?"

245 Life Is Precious

"Come and kill me. What are you waiting for?"

Song Shi, who was lying on the ground, urged him. He might as well lie flat and do nothing to let the other party attack him freely to save time.

Fifth Brother hurriedly jumped away and cursed, "F*ck, what the hell is this?!"

"Is he immortal, or is it a special fake body? If it's a fake body, where is his real body?"

"I still haven't realized his secret. I really don't know how to deal with him."

"Should I seal him?"

"It consumes too much Nomological power."

The remaining Crimson Crows were very helpless. They clearly wanted to kill this fellow to take revenge, but they didn't know how.

They used their usual methods to kill this person but the other party kept resurrecting. In the end they did not know what they were killing.

Moreover, this person's combat strength was so terrifying that he killed one of their brothers with a flip of his hand. Other than the Crown Prince, the others were very afraid.

"What are you mumbling about? Come on, don't miss such a good opportunity to kill me."

Song Shi was still shouting like a vegetable seller in a market.

There were already quite a number of people nearby who were not blocked by the flames. When they saw this scene and heard Song Shi's arrogant words, they were dumbfounded.

"There's something wrong with this person. Retreat first!"

The Crimson Crow Crown Prince was not a fool. The more this person was like this, the more he felt that he could not continue. He immediately gathered his brothers and did not give him a chance.

Song Shi, who was lying on the ground, could only get up and pout. "How boring. I'll go and take a walk on the other side."

Currently, his cultivation was suppressed by the power of the mystic realm and he could only use an additional thirty percent of his power. With so many Crimson Crows gathered, it was really not good for him to kill them now.

Since he couldn't court death and couldn't kill anyone, Song Shi turned around and left, leaving behind the Crimson Crow geniuses who gritted their teeth but couldn't do anything to him.

"Damn it, this bastard just left like that?"

"If not for the pressure here, I really want to capture him and torture him."

"This guy will definitely be able to enter the mystic realm. When the time comes, I'll catch him and beat him up. Even if I don't kill him, I'll toy with him!"

The few demons were so angry that they bared their teeth. Usually, it was their Crimson Crow race who played tricks on others. When had they ever been played like a fool?

Those who were familiar with Song Shi revealed thoughtful expressions.

Thinking of how the Blood-Robed old ghost switched to a fire attribute cultivation technique after possessing someone else, it was probably related to this.

This way, he might really not have any weaknesses. It would be even more difficult to kill him.

Vajra Sect, Ye Family and the others looked increasingly fearful. They temporarily retracted the killing intent in their hearts and did not dare to attack rashly.

…

The Immortal opportunity platform was a thousand meters tall, like a mountain. Without the power of the mystic realm, it was not difficult for Golden Core cultivators to fly over it.

Now, the people on it could only walk. They could not fly near the Immortal opportunity platform. Other than climbing, they could not approach it. Therefore, they did not know much about what was happening with Song Shi on the other three sides of the platform, especially on the back, which was relatively far away from him.

As for those who knew the situation, it was as if they were avoiding the God of Plagues. They were unwilling to clash with Song Shi and did not even give him a chance to come near them.

Great Qian was originally on the east side of the stairs. When Song Shi turned to the west, no one was paying attention to him anymore.

"The people here don't know me yet. There's a chance to cause trouble here."

Song Shi was secretly delighted. He deliberately put his hands behind his back and raised his head. He looked like he was asking for a beating, attracting a lot of attention.

However, those who had reached this stage were all doing their best to deal with the pressure. No one attacked him just because they didn't like him.

Song Shi walked around arrogantly. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he could only erupt with his cultivation and speed up.

Soon, he crossed seven thousandth steps. There were very few people at this level. Those who didn't care at first took a few more glances and realized that they didn't know him.

"Which faction is this genius from?"

Just as someone asked, someone in the distance said fearfully, "Everyone, it's best if you don't provoke him. This is the undead monster, the Blood-Robed old ghost. The Crimson Crow race has just suffered at his hands."

When Song Shi heard this, he looked up angrily and said, "What are you gossiping about? Are you deliberately trying to trick others?"

The latter's face darkened. "Do you think that Sword Nation is as chaotic as your country and needs to eliminate dissidents by scamming others?"

Song Shi was exasperated. "It's one thing to gossip, but don't give me any nicknames. When did I not die? Don't spread rumors. I can be killed. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try!"

Many people who were not familiar with Song Shi rolled their eyes when they heard this.

Was this even something normal people would say? He even asked someone to give killing him a try. Does he really think he won't die?

"Indeed, there's no need to exaggerate. This person only cultivates some life-saving spells and divine powers. How would a group of demons from the Crimson Crow race know about these? They were just bewitched by him!"

Some people did not care and did not take Song Shi seriously.

"I just asked around. This Blood-Robed old ghost was originally from the Blood Spirit Sect's branch, the Blood Transformation Sect. Those guys' life-saving methods are indeed powerful. This person seems to have mastered some strange methods."

Some people didn't believe it, while others echoed opposite sentiments.

Song Shi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, some people did not see what happened just now with their own eyes, so they were unwilling to believe his situation.

"Everybody, I will give you a chance to snatch my treasure."

He deliberately took out the golden Spear and smashed it on the steps as a walking stick.

"This person's Spear seems to be the Ye Family's Numinous artifacts. Could he be a genius of the Ye Family?"

"The Ye Family is in the east. Why did you come to the west?"

"You guys are ignorant. The Ye Family's golden Spear has already been snatched away by the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Even the patriarch has been killed."

A Spear immediately attracted a lot of discussion. The nearby geniuses revealed fearful expressions. They knew that Song Shi was not simple.

To be able to come this far and even hold Numinous artifacts, how could he be an ordinary person?

For a moment, not only did no one come to snatch it, the number of people approaching him also decreased.

Song Shi, who had attracted the opposite effect, was speechless. "Sigh, this environment is not suitable for pretending to be weak. It's better to focus on climbing the stairs."

He really couldn't find anyone to fight him in the end. He hence decided not to deliberately find trouble with others and started to climb seriously.

"Brother, you are born with a sword body. Why do you know how to use Spear Dharma treasures?"

A green-robed man spoke.

"There are many Dharma treasures. It's not too much to use one as a walking stick, right?"

Song Shi squinted and looked like he was asking for a beating.

The green-robed man was stunned. He then smiled and said, "Brother, you're really interesting. How should I address you? I'm He Changqing."

"Song Shi."

Song Shi said indifferently, "You can also call me Blood-Robed old ghost. Forget about Chen Ergou. It's too old-fashioned."

"I heard someone call you an undying demon. I think your life-saving methods are very powerful. I like life-saving immortality techniques the most. I wonder if you can teach me when you're free?"

The green-robed man spoke frankly.

The people following behind were rather surprised.

It was rare for Sword King Evergreen, the number one Golden Core sword cultivator in Sword Nation, to be so polite to this person.

"Life-saving methods?"

Song Shi took another look at this person, "Looks like you're very afraid of death?"

"Life is precious. I want to live a few more years. Only then will I have more chances to become an immortal."

He Changqing nodded.

"That makes sense. Unfortunately, you won't be able to learn my methods."

Song Shi shook his head. "It's better to break through faster so that your lifespan can't catch up to your breakthrough speed."

246 Nirvana Pill

"I understand this logic, but not many people can do it."

He Changqing sighed. "I can't help but feel melancholic as I approach old age."

Song Shi was speechless. Was this fellow acting like this?

A forty-year-old Golden Core cultivator would be a prodigy no matter where he was. He has only spent less than ten percent of his lifespan, and he was still lamenting that he was old?

He chuckled, "You're indeed a little older. I have yet to reach your age and still can't feel your troubles."

The people nearby rolled their eyes when they heard this. These two people were too much. One was actually more exaggerated than the other.

He Changqing looked at Song Shi seriously. "Then I should call you Brother Song. I wonder what your goal of this trip is. Let me see if we have any shared interest."

"I haven't decided yet. But I can consider if I know what Brother He's goal is."

Song Shi knew that this guy was testing him with words, so he did not stand on ceremony.

"The Sword Dao inheritance is the top few supreme treasures."

He Changqing did not hide his motive. After all Song Shi could find out about this matter just asking around. It was just that the other party was not from Sword Nation and did not know much.

"Oh, then I'm a little interested."

Song Shi originally did not have any concept of what the top treasures here were. He came here to make up the numbers and the Heavenly Ghost Sect did not expect him to be able to go to the Immortal opportunity platform.

"Then we can only rely on our own abilities."

He Changqing smiled lightly and stood up straight. In an instant, to show off his ability, his Sword Qi soared into the sky.

Song Shi felt that the sword energy condensed in his body was about to be triggered and rush out uncontrollably.

He frowned and suppressed his sword qi. He stared at He Changqing. "So Brother He also has the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit."

"No, I do have some Talent, but it's not the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit. It's the Connate Sword Body."

He Changqing smiled. "I was born with a sword body. I cultivated Qi Refinement at the age of three, comprehended sword intent at the age of five, reached the Foundation Establishment realm at the age of twelve, and formed the core at the age of twenty three. I'm focused on the sword. I'm not as rich as Brother Song."

The corners of Song Shi's mouth twitched. This guy seriously said that he was ordinary when he was also a talent.

He retorted, "It doesn't hurt to have more skills. There's no harm in learning more."

He Changqing walked steadily towards the nine thousandth steps.

Song Shi frowned. Was he arguing with him about his Dao?

Sensing that the pressure on the stairs was close to the limit of his body, he decisively shut his mouth and began to climb with all his might.

Especially when they were near the nine thousandth steps, the pressure on their bodies was almost ten times greater. Song Shi looked around. Other than He Changqing, only a masked woman in a green dress and a short-haired muscular man were nearby.

The veiled woman's eyes were lively, and her brows were like a painting. A green whirlwind coiled around her graceful body, and her body trembled slightly. Every step she took was rather difficult.

The short-haired man was muscular and wore animal skins. He was dressed like a barbarian, and his qi and blood were like that of a dragon or a tiger. He panted violently, and bean-sized beads of sweat dripped down the steps without stopping.

He Changqing's entire body was like a sword, slightly trembling as he withstood the pressure.

The six Golden Cores in Song Shi's body lit up. He activated all his Nomological powers, but it was still not enough.

If not for the fact that he had been burned to death by the Crimson Crow Clan many times and his Physique had improved, Song Shi would probably have found it difficult to walk here with his previous standards.

Thankfully, his body had sentient sword Qi and Pure Yang True Fire. His Golden Divine Body was also stronger than his Diamond Spirit Body, allowing him to continue walking normally here. His speed was even faster than the other three paragons.

The three of them looked at Song Shi in surprise and secretly sized up his situation. They realized that Song Shi had many Talents and was exceptionally shocking.

"Twenty? Impossible."

The short-haired man, who had eavesdropped on Song Shi and He Changqing's conversation, comforted himself.

He Changqing did not believe that Song Shi was so capable at such a young age. He sighed. "Everyone in the world is hypocritical. I'm the only one who's telling the truth."

Song Shi pursed his lips and quickened his pace. He deliberately walked towards the ball of light that contained sword intent.

He Changqing panicked and said, "Brother Song, slow down. The consumption in front is very high."

"My Nomological power is deep."

Song Shi did not care. He did not care about the consumption at all, nor did he control his speed to recover.

If he did not have enough Nomological power, he could just think of a way to die once.

"Freak!"

The short-haired man complained. He was so tired that he was out of breath. It was really unreasonable for this guy to be able to accelerate.

Everyone was at the Golden Core realm and he was also a top paragon. Was there such a huge difference?

Song Shi rushed to the 8,999th step in one go.

They were less than one hundred meters away from the finish line and had walked ninety percent of the way.

It was noon, and the sun was scorching hot. The piercing sunlight shone down from the sky. When he turned around, he saw that less than ten percent of the people who had entered the second-grade reward area were left.

There were only a few dozen balls of light near the steps. He let out a breath and bent his body slightly. He felt like he was pressing down on a mountain.

This mountain was not on his back, but in all directions. The sun was clearly shining brightly, but he felt like he was being suppressed in the deep sea. It was difficult for him to even breathe.

In reality, the force was akin to ten ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivators suppressing him with all their might at any time. His essence, energy, and spirit could not escape.

"I'm almost at my limit."

Song Shi sighed. His Nomological power, stamina, and even Spirit were being consumed ten times, or even more.

Even top geniuses like He Changqing began to stop and recover. Otherwise, once his Nomological power would be exhausted, he would be suppressed to the ground like a dead dog and could not move at all. His life might even be in danger.

He panted as he sized up the balls of light in the sky. Each of them was brighter than the sun, making him a little dizzy.

Nomological power condensed in his eyes, and with a golden flash, Song Shi prepared to take the reward.

A moment later, his gaze landed on a ball of light in the south. He walked sideways and turned around, arriving at the spot where the red flames were released.

The fire looked like a phoenix, and there were phoenix cries coming from it. When Song Shi's eyes teared up, he saw through the fire and saw its true form. It was a vermillion pill.

"What kind of miracle pill is this? It actually formed a phoenix phenomenon, as if it has a life of its own."

Song Shi was curious. He raised his hand and was about to take it off when a voice sounded behind him.

"Can you give up the Nirvana Elixir? I'm willing to pay the price."

Perhaps because she knew of his abilities, she wasn't as rude as the Crimson Crow Crown Prince.

"Sure enough, the good stuff has been targeted."

Song Shi turned around and his pupils dilated.

He saw a beautiful woman. Although this woman was also masked like the tall woman in the green dress, she was wearing hot clothes, revealing her small waist. Her butt was perky and had an alluring curve. Her chest was also very voluptuous, and her sexy collarbones were covered in sweat as they slowly slid down into her cleavage.

This woman's skin was smooth and red, and her eyes were as gentle as fire. There was fire in her eyes, which was both enchanting and dignified. It was even more attractive.

He sized up the pill for a moment before saying, "Nirvana Pill?"

"That's right. It's a Nirvana Pill refined from Phoenix blood essence. It's a high-grade spirit pill. If a severely injured person consumes it, they can undergo nirvana rebirth. However, I need the Phoenix blood essence contained in it more."

The fiery woman explained, her beautiful eyes shining. "You seem to have the ability to not die. This pill is inferior to the Breaking Essence Pill in the north. That pill can directly help you advance a major realm."

"Nirvana Rebirth…"

When Song Shi heard this, he revealed a look of disdain, "It's indeed useless. The medicinal effects are all used on healing. It's a waste."

247 Blood of a Sacred Beast

He looked at the hot beauty. "But this thing is also a supreme treasure. I don't mind taking it. If you want it, you have to pay the price."

"Tell me."

The fiery woman heaved a sigh of relief. She had almost no strength to fight here. If the other party really took it, she could not do anything for the time being.

"It's not a problem to give it to you. I only have one request. If there's a chance, burn me to death."

Song Shi's words were shocking.

He thought about it and wanted to improve his Pure Yang Spirit Body. It was too random to just wait to be killed. He might as well find someone to help.

He could still die like this. At most, he wouldn't get a lucky draw.

The fiery women was taken aback. This was the first time she had ever heard someone make such a request. She gave him a strange look. "Like how the Crimson Crows burned you?"

"That's right. Just like that. The fiercer the firepower, the better."

Song Shi nodded. "This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

She answered in a daze, "No problem. I'll help you after the Immortal Dao Conference is over. How about that?"

"It's yours. Now where's the other pill you mentioned?"

Song Shi retracted his hand.

"There."

It wasn't until Song Shi left that she was sure that the man wasn't joking.

"What a freak. He is deliberately looking to die."

She smiled helplessly and raised her Nomological power. She increased her strength and walked towards the Nirvana Pill.

Song Shi circled around near the nine thousandth step and obtained a green spirit pill.

This pill contained majestic energy and carried a unique charm. The key was that this pill was also of the fire attribute and was mainly used to increase one's cultivation.

"I'll enter the mystic realm and find an opportunity to absorb and refine it."

Song Shi looked at the rewards in the last area.

There were two stages.

There were more than thirty treasures in the area between the nine thousandth steps and the finish line.

He did not recognize most of them. From the fluctuations, he could tell that they were all supreme treasures in the world.

His Nomological power was almost depleted, so he had no choice but to stop for the time being. If he watched any longer, he would die again.

"In the past ten thousand years, fewer people have obtained supreme treasures than the treasures placed here. They have already accumulated so much. Any one of them is priceless."

A short and strong young man sat on the steps, holding a drop of blood in his hand. This blood was completely blue and was like a gem. It emitted a dazzling light and formed a lively black tortoise.

"Even the Black Tortoise Blood Essence is ranked at the periphery."

Song Shi was deep in thought. "Just now, a hot woman asked for something related to the Phoenix. You have the Black Tortoise blood essence. It seems that many of the treasures here are demon beast materials."

"What demon? If you want to call it a holy beast, these existences disappeared in the ancient times and left this world. I think it's really unwise for you to go and ask for a pill to increase your cultivation."

The young man retorted, "There's still some ancient sacred beast blood essence here. You can use it to absorb it. Essence Breaking Pills can increase your cultivation level for a short period of time, but the sacred beast blood can help you on your future cultivation path."

"Forget it. I'm not interested in adding some beast bloodline power to my bloodline."

Song Shi was not interested when he heard that. His physique was not bad either. His Pure Yang Spirit Body, Sword Body Spiritual Conduit, and Golden Divine Body had nothing to do with animals. They were still very strong.

The young man was speechless. "Sacred beasts are born from heaven and earth. If you fuse with some of the bloodline power of the sacred beasts, your growth will be even higher than the so-called divine body. You really don't have to be biased."

He advised, "The upper limit of the potential of the so-called divine body in this world is actually the Soul Transformation realm. It only has the word 'God'. You can't transcend into the sage realm and fuse with the Mahayana realm."

"We'll see. Maybe I'll eat holy beasts as food in the future."

Song Shi did not think much of it. The so-called holy beasts were existences above the Soul Transformation realm. In the past, this world was at its peak. Later on, they all left for the three worlds.

When he went to the Upper Realm in the future, he would definitely be able to eat holy beast meat.

"You really have low standards. You're still at the Golden Core realm, yet you dare to say such things."

The young man gave up. "But you're not a bad person. The reason you said that should be because those crows provoked you."

"You're not bad either. Your words are for my own good." Song Shi nodded. This person should be the Crown Prince of the Water Nation. Perhaps it was because of his water attribute, but his personality was quite gentle.

It was much better than that guy from Sword Nation who liked to play pretend.

"I'm just a bit of a nag."

The young man smiled. "Xuan Buzheng from the Water country."

"Bu Zheng? Good name."

Song Shi praised, "My name is Normal. My surname is Song and my name is Shi. Shi for rock."

"The stone can be preserved for hundreds of millions of years. It's quite good."

Xuan Buzheng smiled politely.

Upon hearing that, Song Shi really felt that his name was immortal, but it was still very ordinary.

"You can continue to rest. I'll go take a look at the other seats."

Song Shi was prepared to find a place with fewer people to sever his meridians and die. Otherwise, he would not be able to rush to the top.

"There's a Longevity Pill over there that can extend one's lifespan by a thousand years. Brother Song can consider it."

Ads by Pubfuture

Xuan Buzheng pointed at a green elixir that was on the 9,800th level. To a certain extent, it was more precious than the Black Tortoise's blood essence.

"Not interested."

Song Shi did not even look at it. He did not need it at all.

A look of admiration appeared on Xuan Buzheng's face. As expected, he had not misjudged this person. He was unique and definitely not simple.

After encountering two top geniuses with good attitudes, Song Shi was even more embarrassed to cause trouble. While he still had some strength, he finished reading the situation of the treasure.

Now, those near the nine thousandth steps had basically stopped to rest and use various methods to recover their strength.

Someone opened his mouth and absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth like a whale.

Some people took out pills and swallowed them, or took high-grade spirit stones to absorb.

Song Shi was the only one wandering around. No matter who it was, they were all speechless.

However, no one mocked him this time.

There was probably only one person in history who could walk horizontally under ten times the pressure at the nine thousandth steps.

Others might have the strength, but no one would be stupid enough to do such a thing.

"Ah!"

A human genius halfway up the mountain screamed. When Song Shi looked over, only one of his feet was exposed. The other part had already entered the snake's mouth.

It was a fierce black snake with a human body and a snake head. It was eating people to replenish its strength.

Song Shi was stunned. This demon's restoration method was a little fierce.

The faction of the unlucky genius was furious and cursed.

"Shut up, demon. How dare you eat the core disciple of our Jade Cloud Sect!"

"Demons, don't go overboard. Aren't you afraid of angering everyone by eating people on the Immortal opportunity platform?"

"Demon Snake, continue. When you come out, you will definitely die."

Facing the threat, the black snake's cold eyes carried a sinister smile. It did not stop. Instead, its throat rolled and it swallowed the entire person.

He licked his lips. "The taste of human geniuses is really good. When I come out of the mystic realm and break through, you guys have no right to kill me."

"Hehe, it's just a few people. Who starves themselves when they are hungry?"

A powerhouse from the demon race sneered. Song Shi took a look and saw that it was a dark-faced elder. He was probably the elder of the black snake.

At the side, he caught a glimpse of a young woman in white. Her eyes were vertical and her brows were extremely demonic. Her expression looked a little familiar.

A white snake immediately jumped out of Song Shi's memory, and he said in surprise, "White Snake Demon Venerable, she's here too. That's great."

The latter sensed his gaze and looked over with a swoosh. Her gaze was like lightning and carried cold killing intent. It was obvious that she had already targeted him.

248 Suppressing the Geniuses at the Peak

Song Shi was even happier. It seemed that this Demon Venerable wanted to kill him. He was looking forward to it.

In the outside world.

Seeing the dark-skinned old man speak, the Jade Cloud Sect gritted their teeth.

This old man was one of the two Demon Venerables of the Snake Clan. His true form was a Black Water Snake. With the other party backing him up, they were really not his match.

"Snake Clan, this is the territory of the human race. Don't go overboard."

The leader of the Wind Nation spoke slowly. His strength could not compare to the Black Snake Demon Venerable, but he was one of the Human Sovereigns. His words carried a lot of weight.

Demon Venerable Black Snake snorted and did not say anything else.

A few demons that wanted to eat humans were intimidated. They were afraid and did not act recklessly again.

The entire Immortal opportunity platform fell silent. Everyone had reached their limit. After this restoration, it would be the last wave of attacks.

Song Shi looked at Chen Yiling and the rest.

Lu Youyou reached the 8,600th step, Luochi reached the 8,800th step, and Chen Yiling actually reached the nine thousandth step after one hundred steps.

On the side of Great Qian, other than the crown prince who had arrived at the nine thousandth step, there were two men in black, a man and a woman. They seemed to be from the Sky Demon Cult.

There was no one from the Heavenly Corpse Sect. That was because most zombies had a lifespan of more than two hundred years.

He continued to walk up more than ten steps. After his Nomological power was exhausted, he sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated the Bloodseeker Technique, releasing a circle of blood light before severing his meridians.

A few seconds later, the exhausted Song Shi's eyes lit up and he recovered completely.

"I will go to the finish line and wait for these guys."

Song Shi formed a seal and began to mobilize all his strength.

When he refreshed his status, the cultivators and demons from all directions also had time to retract their gazes and discuss who was most likely to be the first to reach the summit.

"It seems that the Crown Princess of the Nine Nations has a deeper foundation. After all, with the support of the royal family, the other factions are slightly inferior."

"So what if she's the crown prince's daughter? In the past, there have never been more than five people who reached the top. I don't think there will be many this time."

"Look, the Qian Nation's crown prince's dragon qi is boundless. He should be the one with the highest chance of becoming the first person to reach the top."

"It's hard to say. The Li Nation's Crown Princess and the Southern Barbarian Clan's Young Clan Leader are not simple either."

"The demons are not bad this time. We have to be careful that they won't steal our resources."

"Have you forgotten that Blood-Robed old ghost of the Heavenly Ghost Sect? He has always been in the lead."

Ads by Pubfuture

"Him? I think he's doing it on purpose. He won't be able to charge forward anymore."

In the past hundred years, most of the top geniuses of the continent had appeared in front of everyone. Now that they were going to use a special method to rank them, many people were even more excited than the geniuses themselves.

Boom!

Suddenly, a powerful Nomological power surged through the Void, startling the people who were chatting leisurely. They looked in a certain direction in surprise.

Song Shi's skin and bones were golden, and his entire body was covered in golden flames. Amidst the flames, there was even sword qi rampaging. Red patterns appeared between his brows.

He had activated the power of Hiderigami's contract.

This contract was a little insufficient now. In the past, it could double his strength. Now, the increase was less than seventy percent, but it was completely enough.

Bang bang!

Song Shi stood up and stepped firmly on the steps. He endured more than ten times the pressure and walked past the steps.

The humans and demons who were recovering looked over.

"He recovered so quickly?"

"I've just started. It'll take at least half a day. How did he do it?"

"I remember he was just walking around."

The geniuses present were all a little shocked. They were curious how this person had the strength to erupt again in such a short period of time.

The crowd watched the show with rapt interest.

"Heavens, is he going to be the first to reach the top?"

"Dark horse, this person has really become a dark horse!"

"If he can do it, the royal families of the various countries will lose face."

The crowd was in an uproar. Many of them jumped up on the spot, their faces pale with shock.

"This guy!"

Jiang Sha's mouth widened subconsciously. The Blood-Robed old ghost had already shocked him several times today, but he still could not calm down.

Ever since he came to participate in the conference, he had never thought that this person would be able to achieve anything. He was more interested in his strength and hoped to take care of Lu Youyou and the others.

Initially, he had asked this fellow to come over and assist. However, he did not expect this old ghost to be able to do this. In the entire history of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, it seemed that only the founder of the sect had done this before.

Which one of these people wasn't at the top of the world, suppressing all the heroes?

Chen Yiling's beautiful eyes lit up, "He can still walk. So the confidence he showed in the past is real."

"Damn it, this guy really got it."

Luo Chi complained, but he still said in admiration, "I can't go against this guy in the future. If I can't win now, I can't win in the future even more."

Lu Youyou had mixed feelings. When she was bullied by this man for the first time, she swore to take revenge. She felt that with her talent, she would be able to get back at him sooner or later.

However, each performance proved that the gap between them had not decreased and was still widening.

At this moment, the other party's actions of reaching the top had already shown that this man's foundation had surpassed hers.

Judging from this guy's other abilities, she probably wouldn't be able to catch up to him in this lifetime. What should she do?

The various geniuses revealed grave expressions. Before they came, they thought that their opponent would be someone of the same race. In the end, this kind of beast would jump out and surpass them in terms of foundation.

The Immortal opportunity platform tested one's foundation, not their cultivation level.

Whoever had a deep foundation would be the first to reach the top. In the past, there were Foundation Establishment cultivators among the people who reached the top.

Song Shi's enemies were panicking.

The more solid his performance was, the greater the threat he would pose to his enemies in the future.

"I have to kill him as soon as possible!"

The Ye Family's patriarch was extremely solemn.

Not only were the prodigies and the various factions afraid.

The various kings, Demon Venerables, and other powerhouses also began to look at Song Shi seriously for the first time.

According to tradition, those who could reach the top of the Immortal opportunity platform, as long as they did not die, could basically grow to their level or even surpass them.

In other words, this person had the potential to reach the Soul Transformation realm in the future and had a high chance of ascending to the Upper Realm.

One of the kings looked at the leader of the Qian Nation, whose expression was not too good, and said, "This person is from the Qian Nation. Regardless of whether it's the Heavenly Ghost Sect he's currently in or the Blood Refinement Sect he was previously in, they were all exterminated by you guys, right?"

The Qian Nation's ruler's gaze was cold. "It's normal for a person who has been reborn through possession to have a deeper foundation. After all, he spent so much time cultivating."

"That's true. Now that he has a deep foundation, it doesn't mean that he'll still be the same in the next realm. Without top-notch inheritances and resources, he'll slowly fade into the crowd."

The other king agreed deeply. He retracted his gaze and stopped paying attention.

At the 9,900th step of the Immortal opportunity platform, Song Shi was sweating profusely, his back was clearly bent from the pressure.

His gaze fell on a nearby ball of light. After walking another 30 steps, he grabbed a ball of light.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Void shook, and an ancient scroll descended from the sky. After opening it, it was a painting of mountains and rivers. There were immortals walking in the air, and every step they took was a mountain.

The painting contained a mystical meaning. Song Shi felt a powerful divine power when he saw it.

Song Shi did not have much time to look at it. He put away the scroll and gritted his teeth as he climbed the last part.

Every step was slower than the last. Song Shi really wanted to walk on his stomach, but in the end, he held himself back. It took him nearly fifteen minutes to complete the last step.

249 Illusionary Scroll

The moment the last step landed, a colorful light bloomed in the sky at the end and landed on Song Shi's body. Wisps of pure spiritual rain dripped down.

In just one thousand steps, Song Shi's essence, energy, and spirit had already been greatly exhausted. Now, it was as if he had encountered a rain after a long drought. His eyes lit up slightly as he opened his mouth and inhaled.

The colorful spiritual rain in the air was completely swallowed by him. After the spiritual rain entered his body, it quickly spread. Not only could it nourish his flesh and meridians, but it was also especially easy to refine.

There was even a light energy that made him feel refreshed and he started to recover his physical state.

Song Shi hurriedly sat cross-legged and digested the spiritual rain with all his might. Soon, his essence, energy, and spirit were restored. Even his cultivation level had improved further. He was not far from breaking through to the late stage.

Soon, Song Shi opened his eyes and felt relaxed.

Now that he was sitting cross-legged on the mountain peak, he could look down on all directions.

While he was enjoying the benefits, the recovery speed of the top geniuses was still not as fast as his. At this moment, they were still accumulating their strength to continue moving.

His gaze fell on the vortex and the nine supreme treasures, then he got up to observe.

The first thing that attracted him was a rusty Bronze Sword. It looked dilapidated and carried an ancient sword intent.

This sword intent was more high-end than any sword intent he had seen. It was extraordinary and not something humans could possess. It was very similar to the rules of heaven and earth.

"This is what the Play Pretend King wants, right?"

Song Shi guessed and casually gave He Changqing the nickname of the Play Pretend King.

In any case, all Golden Core cultivators could be called kings. In Song Shi's opinions the nickname, Play Pretend King was more suitable for the other party than the Sword King.

He looked away and saw a jade pendant floating in the sky. It was completely green and was engraved with ancient silver runes. It carried a floating aura.

"What kind of jade pendant is this? Is it worth putting it here?"

Song Shi was stunned. On a closer look, the words "Langya" were written on it. He could not help but think of the tokens taken out by the nine kings when they opened the mystic realm. He did not know if they were of the same type.

If that was true, the status symbol brought by this thing would be more important than the actual benefits.

Seeing that there were no additional benefits, Song Shi looked at the third ball of light.

It was a golden ancient book. At first glance, Song Shi felt that the material was very similar to the Imperishable Golden Body.

"Ancient Cultivation Method?"

"A body tempering technique doesn't sound as powerful as the Imperishable Golden Body. Let's not consider it first."

Song Shi continued to skip it, but the fourth ball of light was filled with fog. It was like a dream as it kept changing.

Curious, he reached out to check the information. In the end, the latter turned into a stream of air and entered his mind.

"Damn, I haven't agreed yet."

Song Shi really wanted to refuse, but this fog was of a higher level than him and forcefully rushed into his sea of consciousness.

He immediately froze on the spot. In his spiritual world, a fog rolled and turned into a phantom.

"How many years has it been? Finally, someone is willing to cultivate the inheritance I left here. I hope you can pass down my life's work and bring it to greater heights."

The phantom did not seem to have much strength. After saying that, it looked like it was dissipating.

Song Shi appeared in the mental world and said speechlessly, "I'm not willing. You forced your way into my head."

"Cough, there are too few top geniuses who cultivates the Dao of Illusion. I can't wait any longer. Kid, I think you're very talented. I'll leave the Illusionary Scroll to you. Don't disappoint me."

The phantom smiled awkwardly and dissipated completely with a puff. It was obvious that it was about to collapse.

In the fog, psychedelic words appeared one after another. They were like fog that was unpredictable and filled with changes. At the beginning, there were two words: Illusionary Scroll.

"I'm the first person since ancient times to become a Saint through the Dao of illusions. There's no path ahead. I've opened a path. I hope that those who come later will follow this path and surpass me."

After reading the introduction, there was content about illusion cultivation.

Song Shi said helplessly, "Who the hell wants to cultivate illusions? However, you've already ran into my mind and imprinted it in my memory. It would be a waste not to cultivate it."

He gloomily accepted all the content. After absorbing the information, he changed his opinion.

The person who left this thing behind was actually an expert who had surpassed the Soul Transformation realm in the ancient era. Moreover, he was an illusionist.

From the information left behind by this person, it seemed that the other party could easily make the living beings of a country fall into an illusion with a thought back then. He could also easily use a divine power like Yellow Dreams to make people spend their entire lives in a dream.

Most importantly, this person was a Great Master of the Dao of Illusion. He could be considered the peak of illusionists in the Ancient world.

Therefore, the illusion technique left behind by the other party was in essence quite powerful. It could construct various illusions and cause the enemy to die unknowingly.

It could be said that this was a path that focused on the cultivation of Spiritual strength. It was also because it placed too much emphasis on Spiritual strength and neglected other aspects that it was easy for illusionists to find it difficult to break through to a high realm.

Old Man Nightmare was a similar existence on the same Dao path, he could make people kill each other in nightmares. They wouldn't even know how they died.

However, Old Man Nightmare was also a person who was stuck at the Golden Core realm and could not break through. He was of the same generation as Jiang Sha and the others. Although their talent and nature of cultivation were similar, their cultivation levels were one realm apart.

"It's fine to cultivate this I guess, illusions will prevent me from experiencing the true feeling when courting death."

Song Shi thought of the first few times when he intentionally sent himself to court death and tortured the enemy into thinking that they were hallucinating. He felt that illusion techniques could be very helpful.

He opened his eyes again. His eyes, which were originally bright as fire, were now covered in a layer of fog. They looked mysterious and unfathomable, making it difficult to see through his thoughts.

Looking at the other eight treasures, Song Shi cursed, "F*ck, there are still five items that I haven't seen yet, but now I can't choose anymore."

Song Shi was a little unhappy.

Among the four items he had already seen, he was actually more interested in things related to sword cultivation.

At least, there was no need to be conflicted.

Song Shi could not help but look at the other five items.

The next one was a piece of pitch-black wood. He didn't recognize what it was, so he wasn't interested for the time being.

The silver bottle had the power of lightning pulsating nearby. It should be a Thunder treasure. He didn't really need it.

The purple fruit was shaped like a heart. This was the only medicinal herb among the few things. He did not recognize it, but from the spiritual qi it emitted, it was definitely not simple.

The remaining two were both Dharma treasures and were at the level of Numinous artifacts. One was a wooden bowl covered in runes, while the other was a medicinal cauldron engraved with patterns of plants.

He estimated that this medicinal cauldron should have the inheritance of an ancient cultivator. It was most likely related to refining medicine.

"Have these been deliberately left behind by the various large factions from the ancient times?"

Song Shi looked at the entrance of the mystic realm. "It seems that the treasures left behind by the Langya Mystic Realm should be more valuable than these treasures inside?"

As he pondered, the upper echelons of the various large factions outside looked at each other when they saw Song Shi take the Illusionary Scroll.

"He actually chose the most useless Illusion Saint inheritance. Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to break through in this era?"

"That's right. Illusions can't go far without Talent. Even if you have Talent, you also can't go very far."

"From the looks of it, he doesn't even know that it's the Illusion Saint's inheritance."

The expressions of the people from Vajra Sect and Ye Family improved a little. This person had taken the least valuable of the nine treasures, hence it was still acceptable that he had the first pick.

250 Teleportation and The Immovable King Body

"Among the nine supreme treasures, the value of the Illusionary Scroll can only be ranked at the bottom. It's not as versatile as the Nine Heavens Thunder Spiritual Liquid that's suitable for lightning-attribute cultivators."

"You can't say that. The nine supreme treasures each have their own focus. For example, the ancient Sword Saint's inheritance is more suitable for sword cultivators. It won't be of much use to others."

"In any case, I don't think he's an illusion genius. Yang divine power cultivation techniques are more suitable for him."

The people who were watching the show gave their opinions as if they knew best.

Jiang Sha shook his head helplessly. "Before coming here, I never thought that he would be able to reach the top. Coincidentally, he left on the way here, so I didn't tell him about these treasures. In the end, he accidentally chose the wrong one."

He did not know that Song Shi had actually been chosen by the supreme treasure and did not even have the time to reject it.

Lu Youyou retracted her gaze and muttered, "If Grandpa Nightmare gets this Illusionary Scroll, he will definitely be extremely happy. I just don't know if they are alive or dead now."

At this point, her eyes dimmed and she looked worried.

"Youyou, don't think about anything else. Hurry up and recover. Try to climb as much as possible."

Luo Chi reminded solemnly, "Here, every additional step means that you have broken through some of your limits."

"Yeah, of course."

Lu Youyou dispelled her worries, collected her emotions, and tried her best to recover.

Now that her sect had been destroyed, she understood that there were not many people she could rely on anymore. She had to be strong.

Chen Yiling felt that it was a pity, "With his talent, choosing the Sword Saint's inheritance is the most suitable."

Since it had already happened, Song Shi did not dwell on it. After looking at the other treasures and seeing that the vortex had no intention of opening, he could only go down or wait here for the time being.

Thinking that this Immortal opportunity platform would be open for three days, it basically gave everyone a chance to climb to the limit.

He did not leave. He sat cross-legged on the jade platform again and took out the ancient scroll he had obtained on the way. He began to browse the contents.

His gaze focused on the person in the painting. After staring at him for a while, his figure seemed to come alive and began to stroll forward.

The Void fluctuations under his feet emitted a special power. As he stepped out step by step, the ground was like a shrinking model, and mountains and rivers quickly appeared from the fluctuations.

His thoughts then received a stream of information. After absorbing it, he realized that this was a cultivation method for footwork.

"Teleportation footwork!"

Song Shi was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect the scroll to record this divine footwork power.

With anticipation, he began to absorb the information in the scroll with all his might.

The most important thing was the mystical meaning contained in the painting. It was something that could be understood but could not be explained. It could not be completely described by words alone, so it was represented by the medium of the painting.

"I feel that it's even more advanced than the Illusionary Scroll. Why isn't it placed in the reward at the last level?"

Song Shi found it a little strange. From the carrier method, Divine Teleportation Footwork was much more advanced than the cultivation techniques and divine powers recorded in ordinary words. In fact, according to rumors, this divine power was also very advanced. It was a famous top-notch divine power.

With doubts, he continued to accept the information contained in it. After a long time, he came to a realization.

Originally, this Divine Teleportation Footwork was not complete. It was only recorded by the person who made the scroll when he saw other powerhouses using it from afar and only had some comprehension.

In other words, this divine power was only an incomplete footwork that his predecessors had secretly learned when other powerhouses used it.

However, the person who made the scroll should at least be above the Soul Transformation realm. His level was not low. Therefore, even if the divine power in this painting was incomplete and its power was probably not even ten percent of the original divine power, it was still valuable to him.

"It happens to be that when others use it, they relied on drawings to record it down. How powerful is the real Divine Teleportation Footwork?"

Song Shi revealed a look of yearning. It was rumored that this Divine Teleportation Footwork was a true great divine power. It was a top-notch means of travel for immortals.

Just imagine how cool it was to cross hundreds or thousands of miles with a single step.

"I will just treat it as a preparatory exercise before learning the true Divine Teleportation Footwork."

Song Shi consoled himself and received all the information. As he stared at the scroll, the mysterious feeling on it suddenly began to dissipate.

Soon, the light on the screen dimmed and lost its color. With a kacha sound, cracks appeared on the scroll, turning it into a tattered item.

He knew that this scroll no longer had any effect. The true meaning of the footwork engraved in it had already dissipated. Unless he cultivated the incomplete Divine Teleportation Footwork to the level of the creator, it would be difficult to restore it.

Song Shi simulated the footwork in his mind. His powerful Comprehension made him realize that the key to this footwork was its unique charm. It involved some kind of law.

He recalled that when he cultivated the sword and saber techniques that Elder Qin had given him, he had to comprehend the pattern of the storm. This footwork was similar to that.

However, this rule was even more difficult to comprehend. It was not something he could consider at his realm at all. He could only search for some superficial knowledge.

He kept recalling the scene of the figure crossing the mountains and rivers with a single step in his mind. He was deep in thought, "It should be the law of space. The so-called Divine Teleportation Footwork is more like a disguised compression of space. It's a little like the folded space and curvature flight that I have learnt from previous life."

Song Shi's expression was a little strange. How was science so closely related to fantasy?

Following this train of thought, he managed to comprehend the true meaning of the painting.

"I should be able to use Nomological power to distort space and fold space, and use curvature on my body to fly."

Song Shi gradually understood. Just as he was about to get up and take two steps, he sensed an abnormal fluctuation.

A young man stepped onto the stairs.

This person was burly and had long golden hair. His eyes were like the sun and there were dragon patterns on his brows. His aura was domineering and dignified. He did not look like a mortal.

As the second person to reach the top, there was no colorful spiritual rain.

He was indignant. The spiritual rain had the effect of tempering one's body and increasing his cultivation. It should have belonged to him, but it was snatched away by this dark horse.

He looked at Song Shi with a cold glint in his eyes that was filled with hostility.

He narrowed his eyes and saw that Song Shi seemed to be cultivating. He thought for a moment but did not do anything.

Song Shi had already noticed this person and muttered in his heart, "This guy seems to be the crown prince of Great Qian. Without me, he would have been the first to reach the top. This guy seems to be hostile towards me. Is it because I stole his first place, or is it because I'm from the Heavenly Ghost Sect?"

He continued to sit still, giving this guy a chance to launch a sneak attack.

However, Qian Wuji took out a spirit pill and ate it. As he recovered his Restoration, he walked towards a ball of light.

He was meticulous and knew that Song Shi had already recovered most of his state with the help of the spiritual rain. His strength was not inferior to his. If he rashly launched a sneak attack, the success rate would be much lower. It would cause Song Shi to counterattack in his peak state and put him in danger.

Song Shi secretly cursed the sly old fox. He observed the ball of light that the other party went to. It was the light containing the Acalanātha Body.

This should be a top-notch body tempering technique of the Buddhist Sect. If he did not cultivate the Imperishable Golden Body, he would definitely consider it.

Qian Wuji had a plan long ago. Without looking at anything else, he directly took the Acalanātha Body and sat down to prepare to receive the cultivation information while recovering.
