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

251 Acalanātha Body? I'll Snatch It!

At this moment, Song Shi suddenly stood up and took a step. The space under his feet fluctuated for a moment. This ordinary step was much more than his normal state. He teleported behind Qian Wuji.

Qian Wuji was on guard. He thought that Song Shi was going to launch a sneak attack on him, so a golden dragon swam out of his body to protect him.

In the end, Song Shi reached out and snatched his Acalanātha Body away.

"You want to die?"

Qian Wuji was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he was filled with killing intent. He jumped up, turned around, and punched Song Shi's head.

BANG!

Song Shi struck out with his palm, and the two of them separated upon contact. They took a few steps back, and a terrifying energy storm swept up.

The aftershock spread. After entering the stairs, it was swallowed by an even stronger force and quickly calmed down.

"Perfected Golden Core cultivator. As expected of the crown prince of the Qian Nation."

Song Shi held the golden book and grinned.

Since this guy was hostile to him and would definitely attack him in the future, he might as well make the first move.

"Return the Acalanātha Body to me!"

Qian Wuji, who had taken two more steps back, had a gloomy expression on his face. He was the dignified number one genius of the Qian Nation, yet someone had actually snatched away the supreme treasure that he had just obtained. Even though it was because his current condition was not as good, it was still a slap in his face.

"I'll think about returning it to you after I take a look. Perhaps I can help you comprehend it."

Song Shi smiled. He was deliberately angering this fellow.

Qian Wuji's body swelled slightly, and he was about to explode from anger.

He gritted his teeth and stared at Song Shi. He tried his best to suppress his anger and said through gritted teeth, "Do you know what you're doing? A top sect like the Heavenly Ghost Sect can be wiped out by my royal family overnight. Who do you think you are?"

"Aiya, I'm so scared. Are you guys going to gang up on me?"

Song Shi deliberately patted his chest and pretended to be afraid, looking especially shameless.

Qian Wuji thought that after being the crown prince for so many years, he had alot of patience. When he saw this fellow asking for a beating, he couldn't help but want to hit him.

The problem was that he had run out of steam. He had yet to recover his Nomological power. If he fought, he would obviously be at a disadvantage. He really could not do anything to this bastard.

His rationality made him continue to argue, "Even if you are not afraid, there are always people who are afraid."

He looked coldly at Jiang Sha and the others who came with Song Shi.

Song Shi pursed his lips in disdain.

Although he said that, he still felt that he should try his best not to implicate others.

It was only him who was courting death, others were still innocent.

Qian Wuji said righteously, "Everyone when encountering someone from a demonic sect, has the right to kill. Even if you don't snatch my things, I'll still kill you."

"…"

Song Shi had nothing to say. He could only say coldly, "If you want this thing, you can snatch it back."

With that, he opened the golden book and browsed it in front of Qian Wuji.

"I'm so angry!"

Qian Wuji clenched his fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. He was so angry that his hair stood on end. He stared fixedly but did not make a move.

Instead, he took a deep breath. "I'll let you get what you want first. I'll get it back sooner or later."

Qian Wuji sat down cross-legged and began to seize the time to recover his power.

"Your mentality is not bad."

Song Shi glanced at Qian Wuji and was very satisfied.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be especially afraid at this moment, or they would not take the initiative to offend him at all.

He was different. He, who was not afraid of death, was actually very happy. After all, a person who could control his anger would be much more powerful than Second Master Lu, and it would be easier to kill him.

"Why? You don't want it anymore? Then I'll help you accept it."

Song Shi smiled gently. Since they were enemies, there was no need to be polite.

He couldn't possibly wait for someone to kill him before saying these words, right? When the time came, he might be the one who would be angry.

Qian Wuji's eyebrows twitched. He knew that this person was deliberately provoking him so that he could make a move.

However, how could he give him a chance so easily? He pretended not to hear him.

Song Shi found it boring and simply sat at the side to cultivate.

The geniuses on the steps could not see these things, but the cultivators outside could.

The faces of the royal family of Great Qian darkened. Some of them cursed.

"How audacious. How dare you snatch the crown prince's treasure!"

"I think he doesn't want to live anymore. As long as he comes out of the mystic realm, we have to kill him!"

"This is the first time in so many years that someone has dared to snatch the imperial family's supreme treasure on the stage, right?"

"I think he has given up. Even if he doesn't fight for it, the royal family of Great Qian will not let him off."

Song Shi's actions caused another commotion with the spectators. It was unknown how many times this had happened.

Compared to the commotion outside, the Immortal opportunity platform was still very quiet. This place was isolated from the outside world and was not disturbed.

After a while, a short and strong young man climbed up. Even though there was no pressure, he was still lying on the ground with his tongue sticking out as he panted.

"I'm so tired. Qian Wuji, why did you run so fast? You caused me to have to quicken my pace so I won't fall too far behind you. Otherwise, I'll be nagged by the old fellow again when I go back."

At this point, he realized that the atmosphere was not right. Then, he was shocked to discover that Song Shi was browsing through the Acalanātha Body that Qian Wuji wanted. The latter's expression was dark like the bottom of a pot and he was recovering his Nomological power.

As the people at the stairs could not what had happened, he did not know that Song Shi had snatched Qian Wuji's treasure.

However, based on the current situation, he recalled the commotion just now and guessed what had happened. He was stunned. "Brother Song, did you snatch his things?"

"Mystic Turtle, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

Qian Wuji shouted angrily. Why did this bastard tortoise bring up his embarrassment? Didn't he know to give him some face?

"You're the f*cking tortoise. I'm the successor of the Black Tortoise!"

Xuan Buzheng jumped up and cursed Qian Wuji, as if he was not tired at all.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered to talk to you. This person is just taking advantage of me being weak right now."

He deliberately explained, then closed his eyes and ignored him.

Xuan Buzheng pursed his lips, "You're suffering so much yet you still want to save your face."

He looked at Song Shi with a worried expression, "Brother Song you won't snatch mine, right?"

"It depends on the treasure you choose. If I am interested in it."

Song Shi laughed strangely.

Xuan Buzheng's expression turned bitter, "Then I might as well not choose, in case you snatch it away."

"Look at what you're saying. You make me sound like an evil person. Did I rob anyone? I only rob my enemies. You have no enmity with me. Why would I snatch your things?"

Song Shi's words almost made Qian Wuji vomit blood.

He really wanted to say that he didn't have any personal enmity with this bastard. It was just that he was a member of the royal family.

Furthermore, he was not the one who attacked the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

Unfortunately, he could not say this out loud because he was the crown prince and represented the entire royal family of Great Qian.

The corners of Xuan Buzheng's mouth twitched. He wanted to say, "You're a member of a demonic cult. If you're not considered a villain, then who is?"

Could it be Qian Wuji?

But instead, he smiled good-naturedly and responded "That's good, that's good."

After saying that, he took out the cauldron from the nine treasures and said lovingly, "With this Ten Thousand Medicinal Cauldron for my Black Tortoise True Technique, my defense has gone up another level."

"Good lord, you're actually brainlessly building up Defense."

Song Shi was speechless. His defense was obtained through farming death. This guy was the real tank character that could be seen in video games.

"It's my specialty."

"It can't be helped. I've been afraid of pain since I was young, so I would rather build up my defense to protect myself. After all, it's fine if I can't win, to me it's more important to make it impossible for others to hurt me."

Xuan Buzheng smiled politely.

252 Power of Light

"The righteous path of heaven and earth is indestructible. Only speed can't break it. What's the use of stacking up a pile of turtle shells? Aren't you destined to be broken by my sword?"

He Changqing, who was filled with pretentious airs, stepped forward. He was clearly panting heavily from exhaustion and sweating profusely, but he still deliberately smoothed his hair and straightened his back, appearing very gentlemanly.

Xuan Buzheng turned around and said expressionlessly, "But you're a step too late. Your sharpness is destined to be always short of breaking through my defense."

Song Shi wanted to laugh when he heard that. One of them attacked while the other defended. They were born to be sworn enemies.

He Changqing's eyebrows twitched and he said disdainfully, "I just didn't want to climb up like a certain someone who was crawling up like a dog."

Song Shi saw sparks shooting out of their eyes which collided violently in the air as both glared at each other.

In the end, the two of them did not fight because they were too tired. How could they still have the strength to fight after climbing for so long?

He Changqing glanced at Song Shi and sat on the ground with a smile. He cupped his fists and said, "I was wrong previously. Brother Song is really amazing."

"I also think I'm very powerful."

Song Shi nodded. He couldn't be polite when talking to this guy. He had to be pretentious when he had to. Otherwise, he would be taken advantage of by the other party.

He Changqing felt like he had been choked. This was the first time he had met someone so impolite.

He glanced at Qian Wuji, "I'm too tired. I'll recuperate for a while."

He wasn't in a hurry to retrieve his treasure. He sat cross-legged on the ground and immediately began his restoration.

Having learned his lesson, he did not give Song Shi any chance.

"This guy, is there a need to guard against me? You make it seem like I'm going to snatch your things."

Song Shi pursed his lips. The other party's actions were indeed wise. This was because he was restricted by the rules and could not take the supreme treasure again unless someone else took it.

From this, it could be seen that Qian Wuji was too arrogant. He thought that his identity was strong enough that Song Shi would not dare to snatch from him. In the end, he met someone who did not play according to his plan.

The top of the Immortal opportunity platform fell silent again. Song Shi leisurely looked at the divine technique he acquired.

An hour later, the princess of Li Nation, who had interacted with Song Shi before, walked up. Her clothes were drenched in sweat and stuck to her body, accentuating her beautiful figure.

Song Shi, who was reading, was distracted. He sized up the girl with admiration and said with a smile, "Your figure is really not bad. What's your name?"

"Feng Wu."

When the woman saw Song Shi's nonchalant expression, she said enviously, "Young Master, it's good that you came first. With the spiritual rain as a reward, you can recover fast."

Song Shi burst with joy at being called Young Master. How long had it been? Ever since he joined the Heavenly Ghost Sect, people had just been calling him Old Ghost. How could that be better than being called Young Master?

Song Shi smiled and patted the ground beside him.

"Young Master is really generous. You're even willing to let me take a look at such a divine technique."

Smiling, Feng Wu walked over gracefully and sat down next to Song Shi, bringing with her a nice fragrance.

Song Shi sized up Feng Wu's voluptuous figure from a close distance. Her skin was so rosy that it looked as if water could drip from it. She looked so tired that he couldn't help but pity her.

Her long eyelashes fluttered and her beautiful eyes sparkled. "Thank you for your kind intentions, Young Master. I'm a woman and am not suitable to cultivate such domineering martial arts. It's better for Young Master to take a look by himself."

"I'm quite suitable. Brother Song, can you show me?"

Xuan Buzheng interrupted shamelessly.

"You're ugly. I don't want to show you."

Song Shi replied angrily and lowered his head to ignore him.

Xuan Buzheng pursed his lips. "He is really horny. Let me get my sister to try later."

At this moment, there were already five people on the stage, reaching the average level of previous years.

Song Shi could also roughly tell that among this generation of young people, the young royals of Qian, Li, Shui, and Sword Kingdom should be the strongest.

When he finished reading the Acalanātha Body, no one came up again. They were all waiting for the final sprint after restoring their strength.

"Take it."

Song Shi threw the golden book to Xuan Buzheng.

The latter was surprised, "You're really giving it to me?"

"It's not like this can only be practiced by one person. It doesn't matter if I give it to you. It depends on whether you dare to take it or not."

Song Shi glanced at Qian Wuji, whose face was twitching with anger, with a playful expression.

He was also dragging Xuan Buzheng down with him. This way, he may be able to gain someone useful in the future.

Xuan Buzheng was a little cold on the outside but passionate on the inside. He was not a bad person and was also the crown prince. He would be good support if Song Shi were to fight against Qian Wuji.

"Why wouldn't I dare? I was originally interested in this Acalanātha too."

Xuan Buzheng took it generously, "After cultivating it, my defense should be able to improve again and become more perfect."

He Changqing's heart skipped a beat. He opened his eyes and glanced at Xuan Buzheng.

If this fellow cultivated the Acalanātha Body, it would really be difficult to injure him in the future.

He was a little tempted. Should he ask to borrow it? It wasn't this guy's anyway.

"Remember that you owe me a favor. In the future, if you have anything of the same level, remember to show it to me."

Song Shi said casually. He closed his eyes and tried to cultivate this Acalanātha Body.

"Um, can I owe you a favor too?"

He Changqing still spoke shamelessly.

"Are you guys done?!"

Qian Wuji roared angrily. Didn't these guys care about his feelings? They actually passed down his cultivation technique in front of him.

"Not done."

Song Shi replied and said to He Changqing, "I can show you, but I also want the inheritance of the Sword Sage."

He Changqing was silent. After thinking for a moment, he nodded, "No problem."

After deciding to exchange the inheritance with Song Shi, He Changqing was no longer worried that Song Shi would snatch it. He stood up, took out the ancient sword, and began to absorb the information inside.

Feng Wu still didn't move, as if she wasn't in a hurry.

After this, no one came up for a short period of time.

The first round of summit had ended. The other top geniuses sat on the steps to recover.

It was less than a day until the end. The others could still try one last time.

Song Shi's mind was already immersed in the Acalanātha Body technique. This cultivation technique was not only a body tempering technique, but it also possessed powerful divine powers. It was a comprehensive cultivation technique.

The Unmovable Emperor Ming was the Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect was the creator of this technique. His status was noble, hence his cultivation technique was naturally elite. It was not a problem for him to become an immortal or Buddha if he cultivated accordingly.

This cultivation technique had similar characteristics to Buddhist cultivation techniques. It was very difficult and cultivation was slow.

However, after carefully comparing it with the Imperishable Golden Body, he realized that the Imperishable Golden Body was still more difficult. The latter's requirements were too high, and every realm was in pursuit of perfection.

The Acalanātha Body focused more on the cultivation of the Buddhist Dharma. Although it valued the body, it valued cultivating the mind more. There were some concepts that he did not agree with.

He planned to mainly absorb some of the essence and cultivate his own divine power. He did not plan to spend too much time perfecting it.

As he cultivated, a circle of white light slowly appeared on his body. It was released from his heart and floated behind his head, forming a circle of light. For a moment, he really looked like a Buddha.

"This guy entered the Beginner realm so quickly?"

Xuan Buzheng, who was still pondering, was stunned. This cultivation technique was giving him a headache, yet the other party found the trick after reading it once, making him seem a little stupid.

Buzz buzz!

The Void trembled, and the power in Song Shi's body transformed into a pure power of light. His entire person's temperament changed drastically. If not for the fact that he looked too young, it would definitely not be a problem for him to pretend to be an eminent monk.

253 Chaotic Battle

Amidst the light, Song Shi's body was further strengthened.

This cultivation technique overlapped with the body parts refined by the Imperishable Golden Body. However, they each had their own focus and could promote each other.

Unknowingly, Song Shi began to cultivate Buddhism, Daoism, and Demonism. Buddhism cultivated from the Acalanātha Body, Daoism cultivated from the Imperishable Golden Body, and Demonism from the Blood Transformation Technique.

Now that the Blood Transformation Technique was not used, it was very difficult to associate Song Shi with demonic cultivators.

Feng Wu stared at the solemn and holy Song Shi in a daze. Her pupils dilated, which was a sign that she was tempted.

Song Shi suddenly opened his eyes and asked with a smile, "Miss Feng, am I handsome?"

"Young Master, you're quite smug."

Feng Wu laughed so hard that her chest shook.

"No matter how good-looking I am, I am still not as beautiful as you."

Song Shi praised.

Feng Wu blushed a little. She enjoyed his attention.

Song Shi recalled that he had been cultivating for quite some time and quickly stopped flirting with her. "Aren't you going to choose the treasure? It's almost over."

"I was just about to get it."

Feng Wu rose gracefully, walked to the bowl, and took it off.

"How do you intend to use this Numinous artifacts? Is it a bowl for a monks to eat from?"

Song Shi asked.

"This is a Wood Spirit Bowl made of ten-thousand-year-old Wutong Spirit Wood. It contains the Phoenix Spirit Flame and is beneficial to my cultivation."

With a wave of her hand, Feng Wu summoned a wisp of scarlet fire, which made the sound of a phoenix.

"Brother Song, I've finished reading it. Thank you."

Xuan Buzheng walked over and handed over the golden book. "My Water Nation doesn't have many cultivation techniques that can compare to this Acalanātha Body. Moreover, it can't be taught to outsiders, so I'll owe you a favour for the time being."

"You don't have to return it with a cultivation technique. I'll look for you when I need you."

When Song Shi received the book, a glint flashed across his eyes as he countered with a palm strike.

With a muffled sound, a certain hand that was reaching out was knocked back. It was Qian Wuji.

Qian Wuji growled.

"What are you panicking for? There are still people who haven't seen it."

Song Shi flung the golden book at He Changqing.

The latter grabbed it and shot out the Bronze Sword in his hand, "Brother Song is indeed a member of the Demonic Cults. Your actions are not restricted by conventions."

It was impossible for ordinary people to be willing to share this thing. Although he suspected this guy of dragging them down, it was still quite rare for him to be willing to exchange divine techniques with them.

"You've gone too far!"

Qian Wuji looked up at the sky and roared. His hair danced in the wind like an angry lion.

"Brother, I'm late."

An feeble voice came from behind, and He Changqing, Xuan Buzheng, and Feng Wu's pupils constricted.

The Qian Royal family had actually managed to send two to the top!

"Third Brother, you came at the right time!"

Qian Wuji's expression finally returned to normal. He stared at Song Shi coldly, "Hurry up and take the dragon pearl. We'll deal with this person after we enter the mystic realm."

"Understood!"

Qian Wuyin's appearance was very similar to Qian Wuji's. His figure was also burly. He strode towards the ball of light where the black wood was stored.

"There are dragon pearls inside?"

Song Shi was surprised. Among the nine supreme treasures, this black one was the least eye-catching. He did not expect it to be a pearl covered in dust.

"This is a black dragon bone. There's a dragon pearl sealed inside."

Feng Wu's voice was so gentle that it made one's blood boil.

Song Shi knew that he had perceived her wrongly. She was not a blockhead at all.

"From the looks of it, they are preparing to increase the power of their Numinous treasure replicas, making them truly Numinous treasures."

Xuan Buzheng narrowed his eyes. His already small eyes couldn't be seen for a moment.

Qian Wuyin removed the black bone and injected a trace of Nomological power into it. Immediately, a dragon roar sounded. The dark and unholy power surged and formed a black hole.

However, with the power of the surrounding secret realms, the power in the Dragon Pearl could not erupt. Otherwise, the energy would definitely be dark.

"Is this pearl demonic?"

Song Shi was deep in thought.

Qian Wuji blocked his line of sight, as if to prevent him from snatching it again.

Song Shi was caught between laughter and tears when he saw his cautious stance. He mocked him, "The dragon pearl looks good. Go back and work hard to get the real Numinous treasures out from it. When the time comes, come and take revenge on me."

"Why would I need Numinous treasures to kill you?"

Qian Wuji said disdainfully to Qian Wuyin, "Ignore this person. Hurry up and recover. We'll be entering the mystic realm soon."

"Yes."

The two of them distanced themselves from Song Shi. The former sized up Song Shi with ill intentions and had already begun to plan how to kill this person.

When Qian Wuyin recovered, the last two people came up one after another. One was the successor of the Thunder Kingdom, and the other was a barbarian from the Li Kingdom.

At this point, eight people had reached the top. Excluding Song Shi, there were two more people than usual.

The woman from the Wind Nation stood three steps away from the finish line with a sad expression. If she was given another hour, she would definitely be able to reach the top.

"Among the nine countries, only Wind, Sand, and Alchemy haven't reached the top."

"It's much better than before. It's basically the most crowded this time."

"It's a pity that the Wind Nation's descendant hasn't reached the top. It has already been three times in a row, right?"

"Sky Demon Cult's successor isn't simple either. He almost reached the top."

Suddenly, discussions could be heard from outside. Song Shi realized that the space near the vortex had begun to squirm and was rapidly expanding.

A leisurely voice sounded. "Congratulations to the One thousand eight hundred and sixty-two young geniuses who have stepped onto the three thousandth step. Next, you are qualified to enter the Langya Mystic Realm to cultivate. The entrance will only be open for 15 minutes. Cultivators who are willing to enter, take your Langya Token and enter."

Rays of light fell from the sky. Upon closer inspection, they were all various tokens.

Song Shi subconsciously grabbed the token that had landed in front of him. A force swept past him, and a string of numbers appeared on the token.

"This is your initial score. Those who enter the mystic realm can defeat or kill others to obtain new scores. In the month's trial, you must accumulate a top ten score to have a chance to obtain an item in the Langya Mystic Realm."

The voice in the void stated the rules: "Everyone's token also has one chance for forfeit. As long as you shout 'give up', you can be teleported out of the mystic realm"

"Just now, it was a competition of foundation. This time, it's a competition of actual combat. No, it involves a chaotic battle. It's not as simple as actual combat."

Song Shi was deep in thought. At the same time, he was puzzled. "How much better can the things inside be compared to the ones outside?"

"It's not much better, but there's a difference. In the mystic realm, only whoever is stronger has a chance of obtaining the reward."

Xuan Buzheng chuckled, "This place tests one's foundation. In most cases, the stronger one is, the more disadvantageous one will be. It's the other way around inside."

At this moment, the pressure on the steps dissipated.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

One by one, figures rushed up from below the stage and gathered in teams. Soon, nearly a hundred people appeared beside Qian Wuji, all of them staring at Song Shi with ill intentions.

When Lu Youyou, Luo Chi, and the others saw this scene, they did not dare to speak for a moment.

Song Shi came to a realization, "It seems like there's going to be a group fight."

"That's right. Brother Song, why don't you join us? I guarantee that you won't have to worry about being surrounded by them if you are with me."

Xuan Buzheng had invited him. He had seen Song Shi's strength and foundation with his own eyes, so he wanted to recruit him.

"My Sword Nation also welcomes an expert like you, Brother Song. Moreover, we can exchange the inheritance of the Sword Saint too."

He Changqing also extended an olive branch.

Song Shi shook his head. "Thank you for your kind intentions. I won't join anyone, but you both can help me lead a few of my fellow disciples."

He pointed at Lu Youyou and the rest, "Just the few of them."

254 Nine Golden Cores

"No problem."

Xuan Buzheng patted his chest, "I promise to take care of them as if they're one of us."

He Changqing looked at Chen Yiling, "She's suitable to follow our Sword Nation."

"Ling'er, can you do it alone?" Song Shi asked. Chen Yiling was indeed suitable to follow the Sword Nation.

"Sure."

Chen Yiling's attitude towards Song Shi had changed drastically. It was rare for this person to still want to help them.

After the people from the various large factions more or less gathered together, the sky suddenly darkened, and many genius elders approached.

The king of Great Qian was the fastest. He instantly appeared outside the vortex and looked at Qian Wuji with dissatisfaction. "Make up for your own mistake. I don't want to see him walk out of the mystic realm alive."

He did not even look at Song Shi and did not take him seriously at all.

Song Shi sneered, "Sadly, I might not be able to let you get what you want."

The king of Great Qian still did not look at Song Shi. Instead, he raised his hand and the power of heaven and earth fluctuated. A spiritual rain fell.

"Let's recover our cultivation first. Only then will we have a chance to deal with some people."

"What the f*ck are you talking about?"

This was the first time Song Shi had been ignored like this. He cursed.

The Qian Nation's leader finally looked at him and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I'm not allowed to do anything here, you would have died countless times already."

"That's a pity."

Song Shi was not afraid at all. He even hoped that this fellow would kill him. That way, the rewards would be very rich.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, can you keep a low profile? What you're doing makes me tremble in fear."

Jiang Sha could not help but send a voice transmission to stop him. He felt that if this continued, none of them would be able to leave this place. Once they left, they would be attacked by Great Qian.

"Troublesome."

Song Shi was a little unsatisfied. If not for Jiang Sha and the others, he would definitely have gone all out.

Xuan Buzheng raised his thumb. He did not dare to do such a thing, not only because he was the ruler of a country, but also because his strength had already reached the Soul Transformation realm.

Song Shi did not say anything else. He brought his own people to restore their strength and prepare for the upcoming chaotic battle.

Among the various factions, the Nine Nations had the most officials, followed by the Demon Race and ordinary sects.

Many sects joined forces, such as the Demonic Sects. It was the same for the orthodox sects. The difference in numbers was hence not too great.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly. Song Shi looked at the vortex and said to Chen Yiling and the others, "I'll go in first."

In front of everyone, Song Shi landed in the vortex and disappeared with the spatial fluctuations.

"Is this guy really going in solo?"

Lu Youyou pursed her lips.

"It's best if he doesn't go with you. Otherwise, the trouble he causes will be enough to kill you."

Xuan Buzheng shook his head, "Take this sensing talisman and meet up with us as soon as possible after you are randomly teleported in."

On the other side, Song Shi felt the world spin. The surrounding space was distorted and he could not see clearly.

When he returned to normal, he appeared in a primeval forest. He looked up and felt that it was similar to the outside.

Here, his Dharma treasures and other things shone brightly. He could finally use them.

He acutely sensed that the concentration of Spiritual Qi here was much higher and the surrounding vegetation was also different, as if he had come to ancient times.

As his thoughts spread, Song Shi felt a suppressive force. It could not compare to the Immortal opportunity platform, but it still prevented him from releasing his divine consciousness too far.

"There is about twice the pressure here, which is equivalent to the level of the one thousandth step outside. No wonder only those who have reached the three thousandth step can enter. Those without any foundation will suffer even if they come."

Song Shi fell into deep thought. After investigating, he found that he was in a rather wide primitive forest, but he had yet to find the edge of the forest.

Logically speaking, with his current mental strength, even if it was suppressed, it would not be a problem for him to explore thirty to fifty miles. It seemed that this space was larger than he had imagined.

Walking on the soft ground paved with fallen leaves, a centipede that was a foot long suddenly crawled out, wanting to crawl into his shoes.

A circle of ripples was released, and the centipede was killed.

After cutting off the head and tail, Song Shi roasted it with fire and ate it.

"Let's eat something first and find a quiet place to cultivate."

Song Shi muttered and realized that the centipedes tasted pretty good. With a stomp of his feet, a few more centipedes were shaken out from the ground.

He remembered that he still had The seven-colored centipede. He took out the black alms bowl and looked at the sleeping fellow inside. He curled his lips. "It's useless to raise it."

With a slap, Song Shi roasted it and ate it as a snack.

The centipede was just an appetizer. He walked towards a certain direction with a destination in mind. Soon, a wild beast's scream sounded.

A few minutes later, in a cave filled with vines, Song Shi threw out a row of array flags. He formed an incantation gesture and activated them. He released the Array Formation Power and disappeared into thin air as the surrounding air squirmed.

After covering his tracks, Song Shi turned around and processed a tricolor elk the size of a calf. He sprinkled salt on it and roasted it. The taste was excellent.

As he ate the roasted meat, Song Shi looked at the sky outside, "Impressive. This space is actually so big. I wonder how it was created."

Curious, Song Shi flipped his hand and took out the Supreme Yang True Fire.

The Nine Yang Divine Technique circulated, and a fireball rose from Song Shi's Dantian, forming a devouring power that slowly absorbed and refined the Supreme Yang True Fire.

Song Shi's body heated up. The power of the Supreme Yang True Fire was indeed much stronger. Even a wisp of it made him, who cultivated Yang techniques, uncomfortable.

He quickly turned into a burning man and swallowed all the Supreme Yang True Fire.

This wisp of high-level true fire was more like a catalyst. After absorbing the Pure Yang True Fire in his body, he found the direction on how to cultivate it and its quality successfully increased, causing the true fire contained in his other Golden Cores to transform.

Not only his Golden Cores, but the true fire contained in Song Shi's flesh and blood also transformed. When the true fire contained in the six Golden Cores and his flesh and blood completely transformed, Song Shi's aura immediately became stronger.

His Dharmic powers had become purer. If he used his Nomological powers, the power would be even more terrifying.

"After crossing the stage of the Nine Yang True Fire, I can directly condense an even stronger Supreme Yang True Fire and save a lot of time."

Song Shi was very satisfied. Originally, he had to condense nine Golden Cores in order to successfully cultivate the complete version of the Nine Yang True Fire before he could cultivate the Supreme Yang True Fire.

Now that he had achieved it in one step, he could now absorb the Supreme Yang True Fire and directly cultivate the Supreme Yang True Fire. The power of his Nomological power and divine powers would multiply exponentially.

"I condensed the Supreme Yang True Fire in advance, but my realm didn't increase. I suppose I still have to condense the nine suns."

Song Shi took out another treasure. It was the Essence Breaking Pill.

This pill was used to assist a Golden Core cultivator to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. It could provide a vast amount of Spiritual Energy to prevent failure in forming the Nascent Soul.

Song Shi was not interested in waiting until he was about to break through. He ate it despite his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation.

Boom!

As the medicinal effect was released, there was a roar in his ears. Song Shi's expression changed slightly, and he felt as if he was being inflated.

The six Golden Cores moved and absorbed it crazily. Their Golden Cores expanded at an extremely fast speed.

Not only the six Golden Cores, but the Dharmic powers at his seventh Acupuncture point formed a vortex and began to condense new Golden Cores.

One, two, three!

In a few days, three Golden Cores appeared on Song Shi's body, with the total number reaching nine. The nine suns merged into one and shone brightly. The energy released made the soil and rocks in the cave melt.

255 What Does You Scolding The Blood Robed Old Ghost Have to Do With Me?

The rewards of a higher grade were indeed much more powerful. Song Shi condensed three Golden Cores in one go, and his realm had also advanced from the middle stage to the late stage. Every Golden Core he had now was larger, and his Nomological power was purer.

Song Shi exhaled. "I've finally condensed the true nine suns. The next step is to combine the nine suns and cultivate an Essence Body."

The Nine Yang Divine Technique was a martial arts technique. It has no effect in condensing of the Nascent Soul. Instead, it fused Nomological power into the body and condensed the Essence Body.

This Essence Body was actually the same as the Nascent Soul. The difference was that one was condensed on the inside, whereas the Essence Body was cultivated with the current physical body as the foundation.

At this point, although martial arts and Qi Refinement were considered immortal cultivation and the principles were similar, there were still some differences. The focus was different. Martial arts cultivated the body while the Qi Refinement Dao condenses the Nascent Soul.

He knew that in the end, it was because martial artists did not have spiritual roots. Without roots, how could they break out of their core and condense a Nascent Soul?

"I still have to continue cultivating both my Essence Body and Nascent Soul."

Song Shi thought to himself. Cultivating the Essence Body was powerful in close combat and cultivating the Nascent Soul was close to achieving the Heavenly Dao. The power of spells and divine powers in Heavenly Dao was even more terrifying.

Since both aspects each had their own advantages, he naturally wanted them all!

He retracted his Nomological power and saw that there was actually magma in the cave. He muttered, "The power of the Supreme Yang True Fire is not to be underestimated. However, this is not enough. I have to go out and bask in the sun and absorb the Supreme Yang True Fire essence. Otherwise, as I use my Nomological power, the Supreme Yang True Fire will degenerate again."

After his cultivation level increased, Song Shi took out the third item.

Bronze Sword.

Song Shi stared at the rusty ancient sword and was stunned to discover that the sword intent inside was far inferior to when he received it in the beginning.

"Damn it, could it be that this thing can only be seen once?"

He cursed, but still brought his thoughts closer.

The light and shadow in front of him changed. Song Shi came to a starry sky. The stars in the sky flickered as words appeared.

He saw a cultivation technique called the Star Sword Technique. As the starlight flickered, someone seemed to be executing it.

However, he didn't manage to take a second look before the figure dissipated. In the end, the star also dimmed, leaving only a description.

Without the help of the figure, the speed of cultivating this sword technique was greatly reduced.

Song Shi could still accept it. Without the hints left behind by his seniors, he could cultivate according to his own understanding. At most, he would suffer from Qi Deviation.

After carefully browsing through the sword art, Song Shi became more and more shocked.

He shook his head. The power of stars was the foundation of this sword technique. He could not cultivate it for the time being. It was better to cultivate the Acalanātha Body now.

After memorizing the sword technique, Song Shi's body emitted a white Buddhist light as he entered a cultivation state.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Song Shi stopped when there were still three days before the month was up.

"It's about time. I have to go out and give them a chance to kill me."

Song Shi chuckled and saw the elk bones rolling in the magma.

Growl.

His stomach rumbled.

After cultivating for more than half a month, Song Shi did not lack energy. However, his instincts still made him want to eat something.

Taking a deep breath, the Supreme Yang True Fire, Buddhist light, and other powers on his body quickly converged. Song Shi returned to his normal appearance and walked towards the cave entrance.

In the outside world, weeds were thriving. Drops of sparkling dew hung on the emerald leaves.

Suddenly, a drop of dew fell. The leaf lowered slightly, and Song Shi landed on it.

Glancing at the situation outside, Song Shi quickly sensed many fluctuations.

"Half a month has passed. The mystic realm should be quite lively now."

Song Shi waved his hand and retracted the array flags. A gust of wind blew past, and he was already gone.

"Old dog Blood Robes, come out if you dare!"

"Bloody-robed old turtle, you've been hiding for almost a month and you still don't dare to show your face?"

"Old dog Blood Robes, are you dead? Did you turn into poop after being eaten by Vicious beasts?"

As the group advanced, they activated their Nomological powers and cursed. Their voices spread out and could be heard from dozens of kilometers away.

Song Shi's ears twitched when he heard someone scolding him. His face darkened.

"These guys, I was only cultivating in seclusion for a period of time. Is there a need to be in such a hurry?"

Song Shi pursed his lips, "Forget it. You're scolding the Blood-Robed old ghost. What has it got to do with me? You won't affect my mood when I am about to eat some delicious meat."

He looked down at the golden rabbit meat wrapped in red oil in the pot and took a deep breath. "It looks good. Let's start."

As he drank the wisdom tea and ate the Dried Pot Rabbit, Song Shi felt that this was the true essence of cultivation. It was much more interesting than hiding in a cave.

"ROAR!"

A fierce multicolored tiger came from behind, riding on a walking cloud. It was agile and its cultivation level was not low. As it walked, it glanced at the Dried Pot Rabbit and then at Song Shi.

Compared to the Dried Pot Rabbit that it had never seen before, it felt that this human was more delicious. When the tiger's roar spread, its bloody mouth had already reached the back of Song Shi's head.

He only needed to bite it gently and he would have a chance to taste the fresh and delicious brain matter.

When it bit down, it realized that the head in front of it was glowing. Then, there was a cracking sound.

"Ow!"

It screamed and retreated. Blood flowed out of its mouth and a few broken teeth fell out.

Its teeth had actually been broken!

The tiger demon was a little stunned, and fear rose in its heart.

"Even if you're a demon, you should know that it's rude to disturb someone's meal, right?"

Song Shi, who was eating the rabbit meat, turned around with a displeased expression. "As an apology, come and give me more food."

He backhanded him with a heavy fist.

BOOM!

The earth shook and the mountains shook. The demonic tiger was smashed into the soil by a fist, and the ground rippled like water. Its huge body convulsed violently and became limp.

The tiger head split open, and white brain matter mixed with blood flowed out. It was actually killed by Song Shi in one move.

Song Shi sat on the tiger's back and continued to drink tea leisurely and eat the extra meat happily.

The commotion here attracted the attention of other cultivators, and thoughts came from nearby.

"Was that the Blood-Robed old ghost?!"

"That's him. The Blood-Robed old ghost has finally appeared."

"There's going to be a good show to watch. The Crown Prince of the Qian Nation is looking for him with a hefty bounty on his head."

In the mystic realm, some people were hiding, while others were keeping watch. It would be fine if Song Shi did not move, but once he did, it would be very easy for him to be discovered.

As the communication talisman spread the news, the leaders of some teams received the news easily, especially the royal family of Great Qian who had long been prepared to kill Song Shi in the mystic realm.

Somewhere on the mountainside with a wide field of vision, Qian Wuji opened his eyes and looked at his token.

The points on it had already reached 100, and he was ranked third.

However, this was not what he was concerned about. With their strength, it was not difficult for them to enter the top three.

He only wanted to kill Song Shi and end his humiliation.

"Brother, there's news of the Blood-Robed old ghost!"

Qian Wuyin landed from the sky with a communication talisman in his hand.

"Finally willing to show your face?"

A sinister smile appeared on Qian Wuji's face. He stood up and stretched out his hand. A golden Spear engraved with dragon patterns appeared in his hand. If Song Shi was here, he would realize that this Spear was very similar to the Ye Family's Spear.

"Bring everyone and turn him into fertilizer for the mystic realm."

Qian Wuji did not hide his killing intent at all.

A few newly built wooden houses stood by a calm lake.

Lu Youyou was cultivating when a person suddenly emerged from the water opposite her and walked on the waves. "Miss Lu, the Blood-Robed old ghost has appeared. Do you want to tgo and take a look?"

"Ah, why did he show up?"

Lu Youyou was surprised. "Since you wanted to hide, why didn't you hide until the end of the trial?"

256 If I Want to Eat Tiger Meat, I'll Come and Look for You

It was not only Song Shi's enemies. Those who were on good terms with Song Shi also thought that Song Shi was deliberately hiding.

This was the wisest and most energy-saving method to survive.

There were still three days until the end. They all had a chance to surround him now.

A young man emitting Buddhist light walked out from the side. "We can go over and take a look, but it's not good to interfere."

He was Xuan Buzheng. Now that he had some achievements in cultivating the Acalanātha Body, he continued, "Unless we're prepared to attack the Qian royal family and absorb their points."

In the Sword Nation team, He Changqing's body was covered in dazzling starlight. His sword intent was vast, like the stars in the nine heavens.

His brows moved slightly as he opened his eyes. "He actually appeared. Did he do it on purpose or was he forced?"

It was not just Song Shi's enemies. After receiving the news, many teams secretly approached the place where Song Shi appeared.

The latter did not care at all. He cut a piece of tiger meat out of curiosity and started roasting it.

"I've never eaten tiger meat before. I wonder how it tastes."

Song Shi muttered.

This tiger meat contained a majestic essence and bloomed with a brilliant light in the flames. It looked like gold, especially when a layer of oil appeared, a rich fragrance assaulted his face.

"Exquisite!"

Song Shi's eyes lit up.

"Human, how dare you kill my brother!"

Amidst a low roar that suppressed its anger, a white tiger walked out. Its cultivation level was at the Golden Core realm and its aura was powerful, causing the nearby plants to tremble.

"Why? Is there a problem? If you're unhappy, you can kill me to avenge him."

Song Shi did not turn his head. The tiger he had killed was a demon beast, not an ordinary beast. Otherwise, it would not have such rich Essence Qi.

The White Tiger did not step forward. It was stronger than its brother and was already a Beastmaster. Although this person had restrained his aura, it could still sense that this person's strength was definitely not simple. It vaguely felt danger radiating from him.

It narrowed its eyes and seemed to have thought of something. It was bewildered. "This person seems to be the fellow that the Human Race of Great Qian has been chasing recently. He has been in the limelight outside and was also the first to reach the top?"

Due to the special nature of the demon race, most of them cultivated their demon bodies and their improvement speed was slow. Therefore, their overall performance was not very good. They had only climbed six thousand steps and had only seen this person's back from afar. Only now did it remember.

"Big Brother, why would we have to be afraid of this person who is alone?"

Another wild boar demon walked out of the forest and spoke in human language. It was a Foundation Establishment superhuman who had refined a hybrid body. This fellow's pig nose was very big, and its fangs were like steel knives.

A leopard demon popped its head out from behind the leaves with a mocking expression.

It was not the only one. There were no less than ten demons lurking in the dark. All of them were Foundation Establishment superhumans.

"Don't be noisy. If you don't want to kill me, get lost. I already have a demonic tiger to feast on. I don't want to eat you guys for the time being."

Song Shi did not like to be disturbed.

"Big Brother, he's so arrogant. I really want to beat him up."

A bull demon walked out with steam coming out of its nostrils. Its bell-like eyes were filled with displeasure.

Its strength had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. Its cowhide could block Dharma treasures and it was very powerful. Even if this human was a Golden Core Martial King, it was not too afraid.

In general, without Dharma treasures and talismans, many human geniuses would not be able to defeat demon geniuses.

The White Tiger shook its head, "Don't waste your energy for now. Someone will come and kill him."

It was much more rational and smarter than the guy Song Shi had killed with a punch. Even though Song Shi was alone, it did not attack rashly.

On the contrary, it shamelessly said, "Your name is Blood-Robed old ghost, right? I won't kill you, but after you finish eating the meat, remember to give me my brother's demon cores and body so that I can give the clan an explanation when I go back."

Song Shi was stunned, "There's still a use for demon cores but what do you need a broken body for? Why would the demons want to collect corpses?"

The White Tiger said righteously, "That's right. Our demon race is also learning the rites of burials from you humans. You can't possibly not agree to such a small request, right?"

"The leftovers are all yours."

Song Shi could not be bothered to say anything else. He took off the tiger skin in front of the demons and casually refined it into a blanket. Then, he roasted the meat.

"Brother, it smells so good."

A wild dog jumped out and drooled at the roasted meat. The pig demon beside him also kept licking its tongue.

"Trash, you're considered the top geniuses of the various races of the demon race. Can't you control your nature?"

The White Tiger cursed.

Among the demons, those who could reach the Foundation Establishment realm in two hundred years were all geniuses. Those who could cultivate demon cores could be equivalent to human prodigies.

Since they were all geniuses, they should not lose control of their nature and act like beasts.

"It's hard to change your instinct. If you want to eat, I'll give some to you."

Song Shi took a portion of the refined meat and a few tiger bones with the richest essence. He slapped the rest and threw them to the demons.

Ads by Pubfuture

He wanted to see if these guys would eat their companion.

Seeing a large piece of broken body flying over, the eyes of many demon beasts lit up. They lowered their bodies and wanted to snatch it.

"Hmph, it's my brother's broken body, how can it be your turn?"

The White Tiger snorted coldly and opened its mouth. Its bloody mouth expanded, enough to accommodate a house. It swallowed all the broken body parts in one bite.

Its mouth returned to normal as it chewed with a look of enjoyment.

Song Shi was stunned. He turned around and looked at the White Tiger. "I perceived you wrong. You spouted so much nonsense, yet you are the first to eat it!"

"I'm here to collect his corpse and send you on your way, just like how you humans like to bury your old friends."

The White Tiger spoke righteously, but the changes in its body betrayed it.

It was as if there was something in the remnant of its body. The White Tiger's entire body shone, and its body expanded slightly. Its ferocious aura became even richer.

In particular, the 'King' character between its brows shone brightly and became even deeper. Its aura also became stronger.

"Congratulations, Big Brother. The White Tiger Bloodline has become even stronger. Becoming an Emperor is just around the corner."

The wild dog demon was the first to suck up to it.

"Who told you to spew so much nonsense?"

The White Tiger slapped the wild dog away with its tail because this fellow had exposed its true intentions. Its true intentions were not to send its brother on his way, but to absorb the white bone blood essence in its brother's body.

Song Shi was enlightened, but he did not mind. "I suppose this is like making use of trash. Work hard to evolve and recuperate. In the future, I'll look for you if I want to eat tiger meat again."

The white tiger's eyes darkened, "Human, just because I just don't want to be entangled with you doesn't mean I'm afraid of you."

"I know."

Song Shi sized up the White Tiger's body. "You're much stronger than your brother. Your flesh contains abundant spirituality. I think you will be more delicious."

The White Tiger was furious, but it sensed something and snorted. "Someone is going to deal with you soon. If you die, I'll collect your corpse. Let's go!"

It retreated with its subordinates, and at the same time, someone was approaching.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A group of people with malicious intent descended from the sky and landed one hundred feet away.

"Hehe, you're still interested in roasting meat. Looks like you really don't take us seriously."

Qian Wuyin's gaze was cold. "Eat. This is your last meal. You can die after you're full. Don't die hungry and become a hungry ghost."

Qian Wuji landed at the head of the group and ordered, "Set up the formation, make sure he can't escape even if he has wings."

257 Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

Figures shot out one after another, evenly distributed around Song Shi. There were as many as 108 of them.

Everyone held an array flag in their hands. After activating it, they shot out powerful Nomological power.

The power of the thirty six formation flags gathered in the air and formed a huge net in the shape of the character "Sky".

The power of the remaining seventy two Formation Flags fused into the ground, and the surrounding air suddenly sank, forming a terrifying suppressive force.

Boom!

The Array Formation Power formed an obvious vibration. As Nomological power condensed, the environment and weather within a radius of ten thousand feet were affected, forming a cage space.

"Gasp, this is the Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array!"

"In order to kill this old ghost, Qian Wuji even used a Tier 5 Array Formation."

"Even if this is just the simplified version of the Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array, with so many people in charge of the array, it won't be a problem to kill a Nascent Soul."

"Why isn't the old ghost trying to escape? He's still eating. Could it be a trap?"

The cultivators who followed over were speechless. Apart from exclaiming at Qian Wuji's generosity, they also felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Was there a need to go to such lengths to kill a Golden Core cultivator?

"It's quite a big scene. I'm very satisfied."

Song Shi nodded.

Qian Wuji's movement technique was like a swimming dragon. He landed nimbly in the center of the Array Formation and stood above Song Shi's head. His eyes were filled with joy. "Blood-Robed old ghost, it's been almost a month. Do you know how I lived this month?"

Song Shi's face twitched. This fellow's resentful look made him lose his appetite.

He spat out a bone. "How the hell. How does how you live your life has anything to do with me?"

Qian Wuji choked for a moment, but he was still unhappy, "I've been thinking about how to destroy you every day to wash away the humiliation I suffered. Are you prepared to die?"

As a genius, he had never been so humiliated since he was young. He felt that if he did not kill this person, he would not be able to rest in peace. If this continued for a long time, he might even develop inner demons that were not beneficial to his cultivation.

"I'm sure you came up with plenty. Let's see how many times you can kill me then."

Song Shi smiled playfully. The more prepared Qian Wuji was, the smoother his death would be.

"Big Brother, this guy isn't afraid at all. Isn't that strange?"

"Crown Prince, this person was completely fine when he was besieged by the Crimson Crow race previously. Could it be that we're doing the same this time?"

The young Confucian scholar following behind him was worried. If that was the case, he had to analyse the other party's methods in advance.

He was the number one scholar in Great Qian, Qin Zhengchong. He was a student of Qianzheng Academy and was very talented but also scheming.

"Let's attack first. Even if he really has a way, he will show it when the time comes."

Qian Wuji waved his hand. "In the face of absolute strength, no matter what tricks he has, they are all useless."

The person controlling the Crowd Control Heavenly Constellation Formation formed a seal. The sky lit up, and his Nomological power condensed into a scorching power that transformed into a scorching beam of light that descended from the sky.

The power of the light beam condensed and landed on Song Shi's head like an arrow. The high temperature and impact easily broke through his Defense and burned his head.

"He didn't even dodge!"

Surprise and suspicion appeared in Qin Zhengchong's eyes. "This is definitely not the reaction of a normal person."

"Could it be that this isn't his true body?"

Qian Wuyin's expression was solemn. Then, his pupils constricted as he saw Song Shi appear unharmed.

Whether it was the people who set up the array or Qian Wuji and the others who gave the order, their hearts sank.

They had surrounded a strange person. It was fine if there were many suspicious sides to him, but why couldn't they kill him in one strike with their absolute power?

Song Shi put away his tea and turned to face Qian Wuji. "Continue."

Qian Wuji looked at Song Shi but couldn't tell if this person was real or fake. He also couldn't tell how the other party had recovered after being fatally injured.

"Don't stop. As long as he's alive, keep killing him!"

Qian Wuji shouted. He wanted to see how long this person could maintain this state.

The sky turned into day as destructive energy poured down.

The light condensed by the Heavenly Constellation Array Formation was like a Laser, and its power was even more terrifying. It could easily cut through metal and Dharma treasures. Song Shi's body was strong, and without deliberate defense, he could not last long.

Deep holes were created in the ground by the beam of light, and the soil melted. Song Shi was killed every time and he revived every time.

He was overjoyed. As expected, this kind of siege was more efficient. He didn't even have time to speak.

Qian Wuji and the other two, who were observing Song Shi's death and revival, had increasingly grave expressions. They had never encountered such a thing before.

He had clearly killed this person, but after a breath or two, this person could appear unscathed again, making it impossible to tell if he was real or fake.

"Could it be that this old ghost really can't be killed?"

Qin Zhengchong was a little frightened. Anyone who encountered something that couldn't be killed for the first time would feel uneasy.

"I don't believe he won't die!"

Qian Wuji snorted. "It's most likely some trick on his part causing us to misunderstand."

"That's right. He'll revive every two breaths. Such a rhythm seems to be the sign of a secret technique. What we destroyed is most likely a substitute created by him using a secret technique."

Qian Wuyin guessed.

"Crown Prince, should we continue?"

Qin Zhengchong felt that if this continued, it would seem a little stupid and waste manpower.

"There's no hurry. Let's wait and see. I don't believe that there are any secret techniques and divine powers in this world that we can't find any flaws in."

Qian Wuji was still arrogant and unwilling to admit defeat.

The Heavenly Constellation Array's attacks continued. Song Shi's death count increased very quickly. As long as the Array Formation did not stop, he would die every four seconds.

Fifteen times in a minute, 150 times in 10 minutes, 900 times in an hour, which was equivalent to half a year worth of death he farmed in the past.

Qian Wuji and the other two's eyes lit up. They released all their Spiritual strength and observed Song Shi's situation with all their might, hoping to find a flaw or the key.

Unfortunately, they could only see Song Shi revived and could not discover his secret at all.

A few minutes later, Qian Wuji frowned. "That's impossible. He's died more than a hundred times. Even if it's a secret skill Effect, it should consume a lot of Nomological power. Yet he still looks fine."

"How did he do it? I don't believe that there are people who can't die in this world!"

Qin Zhengchong muttered to himself and successfully eliminated the correct answer.

"He took the Illusionary Scroll on the Immortal opportunity platform. Could it be that he really has a brilliant illusion technique that can trap so many of us?"

Qian Wuyin suddenly thought of something else. He started to deny what he saw and unknowingly fell into a trap.

"Illusion!"

Qian Wuji narrowed his eyes. "If it's really an illusion, there are indeed some things that can be explained. For example, why did he choose the Illusionary Scroll that everyone doesn't value and why can he keep resurrecting in front of us?"

"Crown Prince, the problem is that I feel that the scene in front of me is real. Could it be that everyone is bewitched by the illusion?"

Qin Zhengchong found it hard to accept.

"It's rumored that a skilled illusionist can integrate illusions into reality. It looks real and fake, so it's difficult to tell."

Qian Wuji made another guess. He did not believe that there were people who could not die.

258 Slicing Him Up For Research

Perhaps the legendary immortal could live forever, but definitely not this person.

"Brother, how should we break his illusion?"

Qian Wuyin believed this, but he did not know how to deal with it.

"We have many people. Do you think we're afraid of his illusions? As long as we don't kill each other, continue to kill."

"We have many people. Do you think we're afraid of his illusions? As long as we don't kill each other, continue to kill him."

"Your Highness is wise. The Great Dao is simple. Some things that look complicated can often be resolved with the simplest method."

Qin Zhengchong agreed and even flattered him.

"Don't forget to look for flaws. As long as we catch them, we can kill him with lightning speed!"

Qian Wuji snorted. "Use the Earthly Demon Formation and trap him."

The remaining seventy two people formed hand seals. A black aura rose from the ground and condensed into an earth dragon that entangled Song Shi, making him unable to move.

Song Shi did not resist. He just stood there to accept his fate.

Seeing Song Shi's dazed look, Qian Wuji and the other two looked at each other and confirmed that the person in front of them was definitely an illusion. They did not know where his real body was.

"I'll kill you a thousand times today. It will feel so good to watch!"

Qian Wuji snorted coldly, pretending as if he could kill Song Shi, looking for psychological comfort and reassurance.

Song Shi tried his best to seal off his feelings to reduce the pain.

This was the experience he had gained from courting death many times.

However, the attack of this Heavenly Constellation Array was very fierce and could kill him easily. In fact, it was not too painful either.

Outside the Array Formation, more and more people and demon beasts gathered.

They looked at the dazzling light in the upper half and the pitch-black Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array in the lower half. They were all shocked.

"This killing array has been activated for a long time and hasn't stopped. It didn't manage to kill the Blood-Robed old ghost either?"

"What exactly happened inside? Why are they still attacking?"

The cultivators of the various large factions were very curious. Only the Crimson Crow Race could roughly guess the situation inside.

"This human is really strange. We couldn't kill him when we attacked him. It seems like the people from Great Qian are the same."

The Crimson Crow Crown Prince's gaze was filled with fear, "Before we figure out his situation, don't mix with him for the time being."

Not only the Crimson Crow race, the other cultivators were also afraid.

This Blood-Robed old ghost could survive such a powerful siege alone. No matter how high his cultivation level was, not many people were willing to offend the Qian royal family even with great abilities.

Xuan Buzheng looked at the Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array in a daze and smiled bitterly, "Looks like we were overthinking. He's not in any danger at all. If he was, he wouldn't be stupid enough to let Qian Wuji and the others surround him."

Luo Chi frowned, "This person is causing trouble again. What a headache."

"Ignore him. We can't control him anyway."

Lu Youyou had already adjusted her mentality. No matter what Song Shi did now, she should just get used to it.

On the other side, He Changqing frowned, "Miss Chen, do you think the reason why this person is so difficult to kill is because of a blood cultivation technique or an illusion technique?"

He Changqing already knew Chen Yiling's identity. After all, there were only a handful of people in the entire continent who had the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit. It was easy to guess who she was.

"I'm not sure. I haven't interacted much with him, so it's difficult for me to know his secrets."

Chen Yiling shook his head and guessed, "Perhaps it's a combination of blood-based techniques and illusions. The former allows him to have no fatal weaknesses, while the latter can deceive the perception of others."

He Changqing thought about it and sighed, "If that's the case, I can't offend this guy in the future. Otherwise, I'll suffer."

He could already see that Qian Wuji, who was standing on top of the Array Formation, was looking more and more grim. The feeling of helplessness was evident on his face.

Unconsciously, he could not help but feel that he was in a good mood, gloating over his misfortune.

Feng Wu blinked as if she wanted to speak.

She was thinking about Song Shi's request to be burned by her fire.

If this person was not a masochist, there must be some secret as to his request.

Especially now that he was still alive after being surrounded by the Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array, she was even more interested in him.

"If I can learn his immortality technique, it might be even more useful than the Phoenix Nirvana."

Feng Wu decided that if nothing happened to Song Shi this time, she would strive to get to know him better.

The Crimson Crow Crown Prince retracted his solemn gaze, "It's like this again. How did this person do it? We have to find out."

"If there's a chance, capture him and study him properly."

The descendant of the Alchemy Kingdom had greed in his eyes as he secretly targeted Song Shi.

Ads by Pubfuture

This time, it wasn't just Feng Wu and the Crimson Crow Crown Prince. Many cultivators and demon beasts had seen what Song Shi was capable of, and they were all curious.

The goal of their cultivation was to live forever. This person seemed to be able to live forever, so who wouldn't be interested?

Song Shi, who had caused all this, was calm. He was not afraid of being seen at all.

Things were different now. He now had Ragnarok. Even if others knew that he was not dead, it would be very difficult to trap him.

As time passed, Song Shi died again and again. He had nothing to do, so he still had the time to comprehend the Divine Teleportation Footwork.

Under the attack and after dying many times, his Golden Divine Body was upgraded to medium-grade, and its defense increased a little.

The Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array had yet to be broken, but the one hundred and eight cultivators who formed the Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array were already a little numb from the killing.

Before the Immortal Dao Conference, they had deliberately cultivated this Array Formation. In the past month, they had already dealt with many enemies, but they had never faced such an easy yet troublesome target.

This person clearly did not resist at all, but they just could not kill him. It was really like attacking a ghost.

Gradually, they wavered, feeling more and more that all of this was fake. That they might be attacking a ball of air.

Especially with the consumption of Nomological power, many people had the intention to retreat.

"Your Highness, we're most likely attacking a ball of air."

"I also think it's air. How can a normal person be resurrected after having their vital points pierced?"

"The point is that he doesn't seem to be expending much energy, but so many of us are getting more and more tired."

The people who activated the array flags could not sit still and voiced their opinions.

Qian Wuji looked up at the sky and sighed, "Why did I meet such a person!"

He was in a dilemma now. He couldn't kill them yet he couldn't leave with pairs of eyes watching him.

Gritting his teeth, he still did not retreat. "Recover your Restoration Nomological power in batches. I'll make sure it's the end for him today!"

Song Shi was overjoyed. He was more than happy for these fellows to continue.

In the past two hours, Song Shi had been killed more than a thousand times, but he was still fine.

Qian Wuji couldn't take it anymore and landed beside Song Shi. "Stop the attack first. Use the Earthly Demon Formation's seal. I want to see what the Array Formation is actually attacking."

A saber appeared in his hand as he walked towards Song Shi, "Regardless of whether it's an illusion or a body of flesh and blood, I want to cut open your body to take a look."

Boom!

The ground sank as the Earthly Demon Formation's suppressive power was released. Song Shi was submerged by the black energy and could not move at all.

Qian Wuji really wanted to cut out Song Shi's chest and study him.

259 Taking Advantage of Others

At this moment, the power of the Earthly Demon Formation was activated. The black baleful aura turned into water-like energy. With a hissing sound, black snakes crawled up and quickly wrapped around Song Shi's body.

The black snake contained the power of coldness and was corrosive. Most importantly, it had the effect of restricting movement.

After Song Shi sensed it, before he was suppressed by the Array Formation Power, flames appeared on his fist as he punched back.

There was a loud bang.

The blade broke, and the man retreated.

Qian Wuji's arm went numb, and he was shocked. He realized that Song Shi was real. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to unleash such an attack.

"Die!"

He ordered coldly.

The Heavenly Constellation Array, which had just stopped, erupted with killing intent again and pierced through Song Shi.

"Yes?"

Qian Wuji realized that Song Shi, who had been attacked by the Array Formation, had returned to his previous state. He did not put up any defense and allowed the attacks to land on his body.

The change in the middle was definitely related to the changes in secret techniques and divine powers. If he could seize the fleeting opportunity, he should be able to kill him.

"The two of you, come down and cooperate with the Array Formation to attack in close combat."

Qian Wuji stabilized himself and became more confident. He felt that he had found the key to this person's survival.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qin Zhengchong landed on the other side. He could also tell that there was something special about him. He replied, "There are no spells or divine abilities that are so perfect."

Their confident expressions made Song Shi, who had just revived, speechless.

There was indeed a flaw happening, which was that if he was trapped, he had to consider escaping.

He was already prepared to leave when he was suppressed by the Earthly Demon Formation, then these people seemed to think that they had found his "flaw"?

Then he would play with them again.

The ground was filled with a black baleful aura that constantly gathered towards Song Shi. The dense black snakes wrapped around Song Shi, making him feel as if he had fallen into a swamp. It was very difficult for him to move, and only his upper body could move.

Before this, he could still move freely. After he had been trapped in the Array Formation and killed more than a thousand times. He had raised his Golden Divine Body from low-grade to medium-grade.

Just now, when Qian Wuji's saber was broken by his fist, it was all thanks to the middle-grade golden divine body.

"I'll test it first."

Qian Wuyin was not afraid that Song Shi could move in the Array Formation. He strode over again, and his intrinsic Dharma treasures appeared in his hand. A sharp black spear was stabbed out ruthlessly.

Crack!*

Song Shi did not move as he received the blow. An ear-piercing friction sound came from the vital parts of his body.

Qian Wuyin felt that he had stabbed into metal, and the power of the spear was quickly exhausted.

"His body is actually so hard!"

He was a bit shocked. Was this still a vital point?

Before he could make his next move, Song Shi's body turned into a burst of light and disappeared. He broke free from the seal and appeared in midair, grabbing the spear.

"These Dharma treasures are not bad."

Qian Wuyin's expression changed. He hurriedly formed a seal to let the Dharma treasures escape Song Shi's hand.

Song Shi grabbed the spear with one hand and threw it back. As it trembled, it tried to escape from Song Shi's spear and shot it uncontrollably at its owner.

"Be careful!"

Qian Wuji rushed over and slapped the spear to the side, saving his brother.

Swoosh!

The Spear stuck close to Qian Wuyin and pierced through the ground with a loud bang. A large portion of the Earthly Demon Water condensed by the Earthly Demon Array Formation was shattered.

"Damn it!"

Cold sweat broke out on Qian Wuyin's forehead. He had been careless and was almost injured by someone he had deemed inconsequential.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, I didn't expect you to still hold back."

White light emitted from Qian Wuji's body. This was the power of the Acalanātha Body. At the same time, dragon-shaped Nomological powers spiraled up. There were as many as nine of them. They were the protective divine powers of the cultivation technique he cultivated.

"You want to protect him? Can you protect him?"

Song Shi stared coldly at Qian Wuyin. This guy had already killed him once and was considered his target. There was still a chance to draw the lottery after killing him.

"Brother, I'm not afraid of him!"

Qian Wuyin was indignant.

"You're not his match. Don't give him a chance. Have you forgotten how the Crimson Crow fellow died?"

Qian Wuji shook his head. He had briefly interacted with Song Shi, and he had already sensed that this person was much stronger than when he was on the Immortal opportunity platform.

Even he didn't have the confidence to win.

Qian Wuyin looked at Song Shi indignantly and took a few steps back into the protection of the Array Formation.

Song Shi teased, "Before you came, I saw a demon eat his own brother. From the looks of it, your relationship is not bad. But what will happen when you fight for the throne in the future?"

"That's not for you to worry about."

Qian Wuji formed a seal and the Qi of Malevolent Earth soared into the sky. The black Malevolent Earth Primordial Water occupied most of the space and drowned Song Shi.

In the next moment, seventy two long snakes appeared in the black water, forming a huge net that locked Song Shi in place. The terrifying corrosive power began to corrode his body.

Compared to the fierce and domineering Heavenly Constellation Formation that attacked rapidly, this Earthly Demon Formation was soft and heavy. It had a powerful binding force.

Moreover, in this water, after all the power was released, it was directly devoured and absorbed, making it difficult to cause any waves.

Song Shi was instantly suppressed to the point that he could not move. He could only face Qian Wuji quietly while observing the Array Formation.

He could die, but he did not want to be trapped and unable to move. Ragnarok could only be used once. After using it, there would be a long period of cool down. He still had to consider how to retreat.

Qian Wuji walked on the waves and arrived in front of Song Shi. He looked down and said, "Since I can't kill you, I wonder if I can kill you by trapping you."

He grabbed at the air and a silver dragon-patterned Spear appeared. Song Shi took a look. Wasn't this the Ye Family's Golden Dragon Spear? However, its color had changed to silver.

"Do you find it familiar? The Ye Family's ancestor once made a contribution to imitate my royal family's Sky Dragon Spear. This is also an imitation."

Qian Wuji was not in a hurry to kill him.

He had already killed him enough just now. Before he found a way to truly exterminate this person, what was the difference between killing him once and killing him ten times?

"Is the Heavenly Dragon Spear your royal family's Numinous treasures?"

Song Shi was deep in thought. He realized that Qian Wuji was studying him and did not make a move. He scanned the people who were forming the formation and thought about how to kill a few more in the shortest time possible.

He had died more than a thousand times, and there were bountiful rewards for killing these people. If he could kill them all, he would have more than a hundred rewards. Just thinking about it made him excited.

Of course, this was just a thought. These guys formed an Array Formation. Even if he broke it, he wouldn't be able to kill many of them. He could only try his best.

Just as Song Shi and Qian Wuji were having their own thoughts, a cold light appeared in the distant sky.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart rang out densely. The expressions of the people watching the show froze. They looked over warily and realized that it was a sky full of sharp arrows.

These sharp arrows contained powerful penetrative power and shocking destructive power. They left traces in the air as they shot towards the Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array.

"…"

Song Shi was stunned. What was going on? Someone actually dared to ambush the officials of Great Qian.

"Are you planning to take advantage of me?"

He temporarily suppressed the idea of using Ragnarok and decided to wait and see.

A large number of glowing arrows arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye. Then, all of them shot onto the Array Formation. With a series of distortions, the periphery of the Array Formation quickly shattered. Some people were even injured by the arrows that had lost most of their strength.

The expressions of the people from Great Qian turned ugly. The power of their Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array was targeting Song Shi who was inside. They did not expect someone to launch a large-scale attack at this time.

When Qian Wuji saw the arrow, he suddenly turned around with killing intent in his eyes, "Li Ba, you really want to start a war between countries?"

When Song Shi heard this, he knew that the person who launched the sneak attack was from Li Nation.

260 Collecting Dharma treasures and Corpses

Between countries, most of them were distant friends, But the Li Nation and the Qian Nation were enemies.

Li Ba's Talent was not as good as Qian Wuji's, but he was ruthless and decisive. He knew how to maximize his benefits.

In the distance, a group of cultivators with shields and bows appeared. They were dressed simply and were all strong. The second attack had already been condensed amongst the archers at the back.

Qian Wuji was forced to divert his attention. Compared to Song Shi, who could not be killed, the sneak attack from the Li Nation was more threatening.

"Devote thirty percent of the Earthly Demon Formation's strength to continue suppressing the Blood-Robed old ghost. Use the other seventy percent to defend. Transform into the Heavenly Dipper Formation and counterattack."

Under his command, the Array Formation reversed a portion and turned into a black ball. At the same time, the light beam condensed in the sky changed direction and shot towards the Li Nation cultivators.

The blazing beam of light and the arrow collided in the air. The attacks of both sides were condensed from Nomological power and it was very easy to explode after the collision.

A series of loud bangs appeared, and the sky was blazing bright. Some of the attacks did not collide, and they landed on the other party's defense, causing ripples on the defense formed by the shield and the Array Formation barrier.

A large-scale battle began just like that.

Song Shi was amused. He did not expect such a good thing to happen.

However, he did not agree to Li Nation's sudden ambush.

He looked at the Array Formation.

The Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array was spherical. Only half of it faced the Li Nation's attack, and the other half could suppress him.

"Ragnarok!"

He silently chanted in his heart and began to counterattack.

The cultivators of the other countries secretly retreated, worried that they would also be affected.

"The Li Nation took advantage of the internal strife in Qian and occupied the three northern prefectures. From the looks of it, they want to kill the Qian successor."

Xuan Buzheng chuckled. How could he not see through Li Ba's intentions?

"You're thinking too much. Even if Great Qian wasted some Nomological power on the Blood-Robed old ghost, they are still stronger. Li won't be able to take advantage of them."

Just as He Changqing refuted, the Heavenly Constellation Earthly Demon Array suddenly fluctuated. There was a faint golden light flickering. Then, one of the formation geniuses screamed.

With a plop, a tattered body fell out of the Array Formation. He was dumbfounded and could not believe his eyes.

The latter's scalp went numb and he subconsciously mobilized the Array Formation Power to stop it.

A corrosive black snake tried to entangle Song Shi, but it could not.

"How is that possible!"

Realizing that the Array Formation's sealing power had failed, he quickly retreated in fear.

Crack!

Song Shi put his fingers together and slashed like a sharp sword. A sharp edge cut off his head, and the sword aura entered his body and destroyed everything.

He landed on the opposite side with a headless corpse behind him.

Qian Wuji, who was turning to deal with the Li Nation cultivators, also turned around in shock. "How did you come out?"

In the end, Song Shi did not care at all and had already killed his way to the third person.

Ragnarok's time was limited, so he could not waste any time.

"Stop him!"

Qian Wuji ordered angrily and attacked at the same time.

However, the person targeted by Song Shi was flustered. He wanted to escape, but he was a part of the Array Formation and could not escape for the time being.

However, he could not get the Array Formation Power to activate on Song Shi. He could only let the Blood-Robed old ghost charge over unstoppably.

In just one move, another genius from the Great Qian government had died under Song Shi's hands.

Killing three people in a row was not much compared to killing one hundred and eight people, but it caused a wave of panic. Everyone was worried about their lives, and for a moment, they were all on their own. The array formation that needed to be combined actually directly collapsed.

When Song Shi, who was about to end Ragnarok, saw this, he was pleasantly surprised. If these people continued to maintain the Array Formation, he would have to stay away later. Otherwise, he would really be suppressed for a period of time.

Now that he did not have the protection of the Array Formation Power, it did not matter if he left or not. Furthermore, if he did not leave, it would be extremely easy for him to continue killing.

"Haha, Blood-Robed old ghost, I want to give you a huge reward."

Li Ba was also rather surprised that this Blood-Robed old ghost could kill people in the Array Formation. He did not have the time to find out how the other party did it. Instead, he seized the opportunity to launch a new round of attacks.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The arrow condensed from Nomological power was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of him and attacked indiscriminately, including Song Shi.

He was a little speechless. If these guys' arrows killed the Qian geniuses, wouldn't he not be able to get the rewards from the lottery?

Fortunately, these geniuses were not useless. At most, they are limited by poor combat experience and mentality. They were a little confused by Song Shi's attacks. Now that they were in danger, they erupted with defensive methods to block the arrow attacks.

After blocking the arrows, it was even more difficult for them to defend against Song Shi's attack. With a series of tragic cries, more than ten people were killed by the sword Qi released by Song Shi. The others were slapped into meat paste.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, you're too much. Do you know how many people you've offended by killing so many geniuses?"

Qian Wuji gritted his teeth in anger. These people who formed the formation were all his future subordinates. It was simply heartbreaking for so many of them to die at once.

"They're all killing me. Why can't I kill them?"

Song Shi's expression was cold as he replied calmly, "I've been scolded for more than half a month. Killing a few of you is nothing."

"That's right, but have you ever thought that helping the Li Nation is equivalent to treason?"

Qian Wuji gritted his teeth.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Don't delay my massacre."

Song Shi did not stop at all. He had already rushed towards the fourth person.

After the array formation collapsed because of everyone's panic, these people were now facing the attacks of the Li Nation cultivators and did not have much energy to deal with Song Shi's attack.

Puff, puff, puff!

Ever since he obtained the sword body, Song Shi could unleash sharp attacks even without using weapons. Several people casually tapped Song Shi a few times, and a bloody hole appeared on their heads.

Song Shi was right behind everyone. He deliberately did not use any weapons. This made him more agile. Meanwhile, he was practicing Divine Teleportation Footwork under his feet. His speed was getting faster and faster. Wherever his figure flashed, people would fall.

A Foundation Establishment genius was killed like a chicken in front of Song Shi.

Especially when Song Shi deliberately chose the weak to kill. No one could stop him.

The smell of blood permeated the air, and the broken corpses were unwilling to die.

Song Shi's belt transformed into a blood-colored flood dragon as it rushed out. It looked greedily at the blood on the ground and swallowed it in one gulp. The essence in the blood was also devoured.

Song Shi killed people and collected their corpses with his Dharma treasures. Their cooperation was perfect.

"Are you kidding me? It's fine if this guy doesn't use Dharma treasures to kill the enemy, but he actually used Dharma treasures to collect the corpses."

"Heavens, the Blood-Robed old ghost alone, actually ravaged Great Qian to such an extent."

"How ridiculous. Even if their main force is restrained by Li Country, this Blood-Robed old ghost is too abnormal."

"It's too terrifying. It's like human-shaped Dharma treasures. Look at that Golden Core. It was penetrated after blocking it for a moment!"

The people who were watching the show were all shocked by Song Shi's combat power. After personally witnessing it happening to Great Qian, they knew how terrifying Song Shi was.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty people died, causing many of the remaining to explode in anger.
