Chapter 271 Space Storm Body Tempering
The Crimson Crow Crown Prince threw out the trial token as if he was teasing a dog, "Two-legged beast, this crown prince will reward you."
"You're forcing me to kill you sooner."
Song Shi's expression was indifferent as he raised his hand. Sharpness erupted as dense sword qi erupted, gathering from all directions like a tide.
He attacked extremely quickly. The Crimson Crow Crown Prince had just given up and the power of Teleportation had yet to completely descend. He could only withstand Song Shi's attack.
"Hmph!"
The Crimson Crow Crown Prince's protective demon fire shattered and disappeared under the power of Teleportation, leaving behind blood-stained feathers.
Song Shi frowned. He released his Divine consciousness and took the falling token.
"If not for the Mystic Realm Teleportation, you would have been beaten to death and eaten by me."
As he spoke coldly, Song Shi looked around and realized that he was in a desolate area. There were no plants or earth here, only emptiness.
"What?"
Song Shi hurriedly turned around and saw a mystic realm a few kilometers away. There were plants and earth inside. There was a white light at the spot where the two touched. There were runes that contained a mysterious power.
Now, he was in this border area. He could clearly see dense runes forming an Array Formation, isolating him from the outside world.
"I actually almost made it out of the mystic realm. Is that the void outside the mystic realm?"
Song Shi looked forward again and a storm-like area appeared.
An obvious spatial power twisted violently here, forming black cracks. Between the cracks, the whistling cold storm seemed to be endless.
The destructive power was right in front of him. Although there was still some distance, it still made him instinctively break out in cold sweat.
"No wonder that guy stopped running. If he continues to run, the power of the mystic realm won't be able to teleport him away. He'll die if he's swept up by the spatial storm."
Song Shi was deep in thought. This mystic realm should be deep in space. It had been established by an ancient mighty figure. Outside the mystic realm was the depths of the chaotic space.
"This place is dangerous for others, but for me…"
A mysterious smile appeared on his face. Then, he continued forward and arrived at the outermost part of the mystic realm. The light formed a membrane to block the destructive power outside. Various runes kept circulating in it, making him dizzy.
He reached out to touch it, but the runes seemed to be transparent. With a circle of ripples, his hand passed through it.

Seeing that the border of the mystic realm did not stop him from leaving, Song Shi's eyes lit up and he continued forward.
Space fluctuated violently. It was as if Song Shi had passed through a special layer of water. Then, his vision darkened and he arrived at a dark place.
He suddenly felt pain. The space storm that contained destructive power filled his surroundings. Just a portion of it shattered his protective Will-O-Wisp and dimmed, leaving shallow marks on his muscles and bones that were comparable to Dharma treasures.
Song Shi was alarmed. The strength of his body was definitely comparable to top-notch Dharma treasures. It could even be comparable to Numinous artifacts. Ordinary Nascent Souls might not even have his powerful body.
Yet a body of this level was actually so fragile in front of the spatial storm. No wonder it was even difficult for Soul Transformation cultivators to pass through this space to the Upper Realm.
Other than his physical body, his thoughts could not go far. Compared to his physical body, his Spiritual consciousness was even weaker.
"The spatial storm is so powerful. It's simply tailor-made for me."
On second thought, Song Shi was even happier. The current spatial storm could definitely kill him many times.
"I was crushed to death by the spatial power during the Teleportation at the Yao Moon Palace last time. Now, I can die until this spatial storm can't hurt me anymore."
Song Shi took off all his things, including his clothes, packed them up and threw them back into the mystic realm.
This spatial storm was very terrifying. Even Numinous artifacts would be damaged if they stayed in it for too long. He could not bear to part with it.
After doing this, Song Shi leaped and charged into the depths of the spatial storm.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
His body emitted a sizzling sound as it was cut by the storm. It was like a knife rubbing against steel. In the blink of an eye, Song Shi's body was covered in blood.
Song Shi gritted his teeth and circulated his Nomological powers. He activated his sword body and divine body. Golden light enveloped him as sword qi protected his body. Only then did he barely withstand the spatial storm.
"The deeper I go, the more dangerous the place will be. Only then will I die faster!"
Song Shi took a step forward and passed through the spatial storm, continuing to advance deeper.
The protective sword aura and Will-O-Wisp around his body were clearly being shaved off layer by layer. The spatial storm outside was so terrifying that even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be able to last long.
In such a place that everyone avoided, Song Shi was moving in the opposite direction.
At this moment, the power of space changed, and an even more terrifying storm swept over.
Crack!
With just the initial contact, the protective Will-O-Wisp around his body that was like a golden bell shattered. The sword aura could not withstand the terrifying destructive power and was blown away like smoke under the storm.
Song Shi grunted and quickly turned into a bloody mist in the storm, leaving only the golden skeleton that had not been immediately destroyed.

When his body was destroyed, Song Shi's soul was shattered as well. He died very thoroughly.
Then, his bones were also reduced to dust by the spatial storm.
"You have been killed by the spatial storm. Your body and soul have been destroyed. The reward is super doubled. Physique 12,000!"
"You have absorbed strength from death and obtained 40 Freedom Attribute Points!"
…
This was the first time Song Shi had been killed by his spatial storm. Unsurprisingly, he had received a generous reward.
It had been a long time since he received such a reward. The last time was when he was killed by the evil god projection.
"That's great. Even if there are only rewards for the first ten times, I can still obtain a large number of attribute points!"
Song Shi couldn't help but be grateful to the crown prince of the Crimson Crow Race. If he hadn't come here by accident, he wouldn't have been able to come into contact with the spatial storms.
After all, his current strength could barely affect space. He was still far from breaking through space, let alone entering the depths of space to come into contact with spatial storms.
In the outside world, three seconds after Song Shi was wiped out by the storm, a brand new him appeared.
The surrounding storm was affected and swept over again, wanting to erase this foreign object that didn't belong here.
Song Shi sealed the pain and gave up resisting. He would die peacefully.
Song Shi did not care much about the second drop in rewards. As long as he could farm a large number of deaths here, he was very satisfied.
The spatial storm here could easily kill even Nascent Soul cultivators. The upper limit of Destruction was very high. Probably only Soul Transformation cultivators could protect themselves here.
No matter how strong Song Shi's foundation was, it was still not enough, especially since he did not take the initiative to defend. Basically, he would die very quickly after reviving.
After ten times, there were no more rewards from the system. He could only farm the number of deaths to stack the basic rewards.
His Golden Divine Body could be improved through basic rewards. One step further and he would reach the top-grade. It would be child's play for him to receive Numinous artifacts with his bare hands.
His Physique had increased greatly, and his speed of Destruction of the Spatial Storm had also decreased greatly.
At this moment, if he took the initiative to defend, it would definitely not be a problem for him to last for a period of time in the spatial storm before his Nomological power was exhausted.
While Song Shi was court death, the dense runes on the side of the mystic realm lit up brightly. They suddenly gathered somewhere and condensed into a figure that looked into the depths of the Void.
"Even the spatial storm can't kill him. What secrets does this kid have? He even seems to be using the spatial storm to temper his body and increase his strength."
Chapter 272 Sage King Lang Ya
The figure muttered curiously.
From his observations, when this person had revived after being destroyed by the spatial storm, his physique had clearly become stronger. If he wasn't using the spatial storm to temper his body, what was he doing?
"This person has strong Comprehension and knows many abilities. Could he be the reincarnation of a mighty figure? If that's the case, I should meet him and make some arrangements."
The figure muttered. After looking at it for a moment, it turned back into runes and dissipated.
As time passed, the mystic realm became much quieter without Song Shi.
The Crimson Crow prodigies who were chased by Song Shi gathered again. When they found out that the crown prince had been forced out by Song Shi, they were furious. However, they did not dare to find trouble with Song Shi. Instead, they chose to hide.
Song Shi had already given up on collecting points. In his opinion, even if he got first place, the rewards would not be as good as his system rewards from farming death.
With this mentality, Song Shi died again and again.
When his Physique became stronger, the time needed to die began to increase. From a few seconds to half a minute.
Half a day later, his Golden Divine Body reached the top-grade as expected. At this point, Song Shi's death was once again much slower.
Even if he did not take the initiative to defend, the spatial storm would take more than three minutes to destroy him.
That was because his body was already comparable to Numinous artifacts. Without Numinous treasures, Numinous artifacts were already the top Dharma treasures in the lower realm. Even Nascent Souls might not have one.
Although the spatial storm here was terrifying, it would still take some time to easily destroy a Numinous artifacts.
Song Shi frantically controlled his strength, afraid that it would affect the spatial storm and prevent it from killing him.
After more than a day, Song Shi's physical body was about to make a breakthrough.
"I wonder what the next stage of Physique is. This world doesn't seem to have a description for it."
Song Shi was filled with anticipation. In the Boundless Continent, Dharma Body, Spirit Body, and Divine Body were the three stages of physique that humans could cultivate. There were Connate and Postnatal physiques, and the difference between Minor Accomplishment and Great Mastery.
Some people were born with a Spirit Body and could only reach Great Mastery after they reached adulthood. Some people cultivated at the Postnatal realm and achieved it in one go.
The defense of the Great Mastery Physique corresponded to Dharma artifacts, Dharma treasures, and Numinous artifacts. The realm corresponded to the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even the Soul Transformation realm.
If he took another step forward, he would be an existence that surpassed the Soul Transformation realm. This world had long disappeared.
"Kid, how long are you going to stay here? The trial is about to end."
Just as Song Shi wanted to stay for a while longer and farm his Physique to the next level, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
Swoosh!
Song Shi, who was about to die, hurriedly opened his eyes. Flames flashed in his eyes as Nomological power surged out of his body, and the Will-O-Wisps jumped. Sword qi immediately rushed out and protected his body.

Song Shi looked around. Whether it was his gaze or his senses, there was no one else.
This meant that the other party's strength was above his.
"Who?"
Song Shi questioned.
"Don't be nervous. I'm the spirit of the array formation in this Langya Mystic Realm. I can also be called the spirit of the mystic realm."
In the spatial turbulence, runes flew out one after another. With a mysterious power, they quickly transformed into a figure.
Song Shi was shocked. He stared at the figure and observed it. It was an old man in white with a white beard. His Spirit was clear and his temperament was refined and extraordinary. It was obvious that he was a handsome person when he was young.
"You can call me Lang Ya. I know you. Your name is Blood-Robed old ghost, or rather, Song Shi."
The old man smiled kindly. "From what they said, you are related to the Blood-Robed old ghost, the Ye family head, and Song Shi. However, you should be the weakest, youngest, and least likely to survive the possession."
The old man's words shocked Song Shi. This was the first person to recognize him at a glance. He could not help but be curious. "How did you guess?"
"Simple, soul."
The old man smiled. "When the difference in strength is huge, you can directly spy on the soul. Your soul is young and energetic. It's definitely not a Blood-Robed old ghost that's a few hundred years old. You're only twenty years old."
Song Shi was dumbfounded, "You can do that?"
"Of course, the soul is the foundation of living beings. Just like how trees have growth rings, old people will have wrinkles and white hair. As time passes, everything will leave traces of time and so will the soul."
The old man answered Song Shi's doubts with assurance.
Song Shi was enlightened. "That makes sense. Appearances can be disguised. Physical bodies can be changed, but souls can't."
He asked again, "How powerful are you? Why can you see through me?"
"The entire mystic realm is my power. In the mystic realm, it's not a problem for me to say that I'm an immortal. What's the big deal about seeing through you?"
The old man had a hint of arrogance.
"If you're so powerful, why are you looking for me now?"
Song Shi was puzzled.
The old man chuckled. "If I don't let you return to the mystic realm, you'll be lost in the void when it closes. You might never find your way back."
"Ah, there's such a thing!"
Song Shi was shocked. He had been so focused on dying that he had not considered this problem.
"You can see the depths of the space as the sea. The secret realm here is a small boat. If it weren't for the fact that the secret realm also stabilizes the nearby space, making the storm not too fierce, you would have been swept into an unknown space. Not to mention whether you would die or not, you might have been trapped for hundreds or thousands of years without being able to find a world to dock in."
The old man said meaningfully.

Song Shi felt a chill down his spine. He was not afraid of death, but if he were to be trapped in spatial turbulence for a long time, the loneliness would drive him crazy.
However, he could choose a spare resurrection point. It wasn't to the extent that he really couldn't find his way home.
This old man didn't know his secret, but he still took the initiative to remind him of the perils. His character seemed not bad.
He looked at the old man. "Old man, are you that kind?"
"Hehe, let me remind you. Other than not wanting a person like you to get lost in the depths of the Void for no reason, I also want to ask you for something."
The old man said sincerely.
"Since you're so powerful, what can I do for you?"
Song Shi was puzzled.
"I'm the Spirit of the Mystic Realm. I can only exist in the Mystic realm and nearby it. There's nothing I can do if I leave the Mystic Realm. If I need your help, you naturally have to go elsewhere to deal with the problem."
The old man smiled helplessly.
"What is it?"
Song Shi guessed that this matter would not be easy.
"Go to the Upper Realm to save my master, Sage King Lang Ya."
The old man said seriously.
"Me? Go to the Upper Realm?"
Song Shi was surprised. "Are you so sure that I can do it?"
"Compared to others, or even after so many years of the Immortal opportunity, you are the most likely to do it."
The old man nodded. "Your foundation is unfathomable. Moreover, I estimate that you're the reincarnation of a mighty figure. You're already so powerful at such a young age and even have a secret treasure that allows you to survive. If you can't go to the Upper Realm and become a powerhouse, I don't know who else can do it."
Song Shi came to a realization and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will die before I can go up?"
"Not to that extent. It's been tens of thousands of years. If he wanted to die, he would have died long ago."
The old man shook his head: "But you still have to help me save him as soon as possible. For the reward, I will give you a portion first and Sage King Lang Ya will give you the rest."
"Wait, from your tone, this Sage King Lang Ya can still communicate with you?"
Song Shi was puzzled.
"He could before he was in danger. Then he couldn't anymore."
The old man was helpless.
"Then how can you be sure that he needs saving? What if he has already died?"
"It's very simple. I was formed by fusing a portion of his thoughts with the Array Formation. Although I don't know the exact situation, I can still sense whther he is still alive."
273 Becoming an Immortal in Appearance
Song Shi was deep in thought: "In that case, you are Sage King Lang Ya's clone or something."
"Technically, yes."
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm nodded. "More specifically, he was my creator."
Song Shi stroked his chin, "What reward can I get for helping you?"
"An Immortal Art."
The mystic realm spirit smiled confidently, "Even in the Upper Realm, this is something that can only be chanced upon by luck."
Song Shi's expression was calm and he did not seem to be affected at all.
He had already possessed immortal techniques, such as the Pure Yang Scripture. He would not lose his composure like others.
When the spirit of the mystic realm saw Song Shi's expression, he thought to himself, "Indeed, this person must be the reincarnation of a mighty figure. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm."
He became more polite and said, "Young friend, this matter is actually nothing to you. You are strong enough and there won't be any danger to you."
"It's indeed not dangerous."
Song Shi said nonchalantly, "Based on your kindness just now, I'll accept your request."
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm smiled a little more. "Thank you, my friend. The moment I saw you, I felt that you were a good person."
Song Shi was speechless. He was actually struck by the spirit as a good person. He pursed his lips. "I'm not a good person. You are quite bad at sucking up to people. It's better not to praise me. It's a little awkward when you do."
"Uh, I do feel that you're different from the rest. You have the potential to become an immortal in the future."
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm said seriously.
"I also feel that I have the potential to become an immortal. Your words are still in line with the truth for that."
Song Shi acknowledged that if someone like him could not become an immortal, who else could?
"Tell me, how can I help Sage King Lang Ya, who is in danger in the Upper Realm?"
The flattery made Song Shi feel very good. He changed the topic.
"I can only sense the approximate location."
The mystic realm spirit took out a palm-sized pocket-sized jade sword. "Take this. When you activate it in the Upper Realm, you'll know the general location. When you're close enough, it can even lead the way."

"That's convenient."
"I'll have to trouble you then, young friend."
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm was very satisfied. Every hundred years, he would try to choose someone who could help him. This time, it was Song Shi.
He continued, "This matter is rather special and has to be kept a secret. You also have to swear not to reveal this secret to others."
"No problem. I'm good at keeping secrets."
Song Shi smiled, "I, Song Shi, swear that if I reveal the secret of saving Sage King Lang Ya, I will be struck by lightning, my soul will dissipate and I will die a horrible death."
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm praised, "Little friend, you're really straightforward. The people I asked in the past were all shy and unwilling."
"Maybe they're worried that they won't be able to withstand the lightning."
Song Shi understood.
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm felt that Song Shi really had the demeanor of a mighty figure, unlike some geniuses who were petty.
He began to talk about the reward, "Young friend, aren't you going to ask what the immortal technique is?"
"What is it?"
Song Shi did not fall into his trap.
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm thought that Song Shi would say that he was not interested. It was stunned for a moment before taking out a silver Jade Slip. "It's a cultivation technique related to spatial laws. It's called the Void Scripture."
"The Law of Space!"
Song Shi's expression changed, "Only existences above the Soul Transformation realm can come into contact with it, right?"
"Strictly speaking, only Fusion Sage Lords and Mahayana Sacred Emperors can come into contact with it. If you really want to completely control it, you'll probably have to be an immortal."
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm nodded. "This Jade Slip is the first chapter of the Void Sutra. If you have strong Comprehension, you can try to cultivate it. Although you can't control the laws, as long as you follow the power of the laws, you can cultivate powerful divine powers and spells."
"Just from the name, it sounds pretty good."
Song Shi was really interested this time.
He cultivated the incomplete Divine Teleportation Footwork and knew how profound space was. If he could further comprehend it, the benefits would definitely not be small.
He might even be able to quickly cultivate the incomplete Divine Teleportation Footwork to Great Mastery. Even demons that were good at flying would not be able to outrun him.
He was not in a hurry to look at it. Instead, he was puzzled. "This thing doesn't belong to the lower realm, right?"
"Yes, Sage King Lang Ya obtained this in an immortal cave abode in the Upper Realm. He had some comprehension, so he could transcend the realm and send it down. He originally wanted to choose a suitable successor, but in the end, he encountered danger and had to get someone to help."

The spirit smiled bitterly, "Don't misunderstand, I did not give you the Void Sutra to become Sage King Lang Ya's disciple."
He thought that Song Shi was the reincarnation of a mighty figure and might be even stronger than Sage King Lang Ya in his previous life. He definitely would not like to become someone else's disciple and the spirit was worried that his words might have caused misunderstandings.
"In that case, Sage King Lang Ya is not bad. After leaving his 'hometown', he still did not forget to take care of his 'fellow villagers'."
Song Shi had a good impression of Sage King Lang Ya. From the secluded domain he left behind, he was indeed here to select talents.
This act of taking care of the younger generation was the key to the human race's practice of inheritance and instinct to reproduce. He admired it from the bottom of his heart.
"Sigh, it's only right to take care of the younger generation. Actually, in the Upper Realm, there are thousands of races. Humans don't dominate this world like they do. We have to nurture the younger generation, or we will be exterminated."
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm revealed some information about the Upper Realm.
"That's normal."
Song Shi understood that in this world, when the demons' levels were high enough, their intelligence was not inferior to humans, let alone the more powerful old demons in the Upper Realm.
"Young friend, you are indeed someone who has seen the world."
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm had already affirmed Song Shi as someone who transcended from the Upper Realm and who may even be an eminence that had seen everything in the Immortal World.
Song Shi felt that something was wrong. Did this old man misunderstand something?
Forget it. He couldn't be bothered to explain. This spirit can think whatever he wanted.
"In addition, after you reach the Soul Transformation realm, remember to come here to the Upper Realm. Sage King Lang Ya left behind a safe spatial passageway back then. Although it has not been maintained for tens of thousands of years, it's still relatively safe compared to other passageways."
The figure of the mystic realm spirit flew backward and brought Song Shi closer to the mystic realm.
"Safe passageway…"
Song Shi was not interested when he heard that, "I have a question. Why can't this world ascend to the Upper Realm?"
"It's not physically possible to ascend in the first place. No matter how powerful our world is, it's still an independent world, isolated from the Upper Realm. In the past, we actually relied on spatial passageways. At that time, there were many powerhouses and the passageways were smooth. As the Spiritual Qi in this world depleted and the ancient powerhouses left, there was no stable passageway to the Upper Realm left."
The spirit of the mystic realm sighed, "Young friend, you're very capable. This shouldn't be a problem for you. I'll wait for you to reach the Soul Transformation realm."
"I guess you'll have to wait a while."
At this moment, Song Shi realized that he had been brought back to the mystic realm. He thought of the trial. "Since we're considered partners, why don't you give me the first place to affirm our partnership?"
"You're the first person in so many years to work with me before the trial ends. Since you want to be first, I'll give it to you."
The mystic realm spirit waved its hand, and the entire mystic realm shook. Rays of light descended from the sky, and many geniuses inside were teleported out and landed on the Immortal opportunity platform again.
This time, space fluctuated above the vortex and a white jade palace slowly appeared.
"The trial is over, the Lang Ya Board is open!"
A dignified voice spread out, making everyone's expressions turn cold.
274 How Did You Get First?
A white jade tablet appeared in front of the palace, attracting everyone's attention.
"It's been another hundred years. I wonder who will get first place this time."
"I remember that the last champion was an empress from Lee country. She's a heroine."
"That's right. I wonder if it's her granddaughter this time. The Qian Nation and the Li Nation's crown prince have both been eliminated. There's a very good chance."
"Stop talking. The rankings are about to be released. I wonder who will have the chance to obtain the immortal technique this time."
Many gazes gathered on the jade tablet. At the bottom, a row of words slowly appeared.
Tenth place, the Princess of the Sky Demon Cult.
When the name was revealed, everyone looked at the black-robed, masked woman with different expressions.
"Sky Demon Cult is amazing. As expected of a sect that dares to oppose Great Qian."
"The key is that two royal families were eliminated early."
The princess's eyes were filled with helplessness. She was originally prepared to give the points to the Blood-Robed old ghost, but that person did not come to look for her in the end.
"Reward: a sixth-grade divine power."
The voice of the spirit of the mystic realm reverberated. Then, a Jade Slip descended from the sky and landed in the hands of the woman.
This divine power came from the Nine Nations as a reward for the top ten.
Sky Demon Cult didn't offer anything, which was equivalent to their princess earning a free lunch.
"Where is he?"
The princess's gaze shifted to the other people on the stage, but she did not see Song Shi. "Could it be that he came out early? Who could have forced him to leave?"
Not only him, but He Changqing, Xuan Buzheng, and the others were also surprised.
"Where's the Blood-Robed old ghost? Is he hiding and not daring to appear?"
Qian Wuji's eyes were dark. He wanted to find the Blood-Robed old ghost more than anyone else.
In the high and mighty palace, Song Shi looked down at everyone from above and took in everyone's situation.
He smiled faintly, "Many people want to see me."
"Young friend, you have Dharma treasures to protect you. You won't die easily, but I think you shouldn't gain too many enemies. No matter how powerful a treasure is, it has its flaws."
"I understand. Thank you for your kindness."

Song Shi nodded. To be honest, he was no longer interested in courting death after dying thousands of times in the spatial storm.
No matter how much fun something was, it would always become boring after one plays with it too much.
"Cultivators still have to rely on themselves. Dharma treasures are ultimately worldly possessions. I hope you can understand."
The Spirit of the Secret Realm felt that this person had gone astray and kindly reminded him.
How could Song Shi not understand this? Unfortunately, when faced with power that could be obtained casually, who could resist the temptation?
He looked at the Lang Ya Board and then at the Spirit of the Mystic Realm, "This list only appears once every hundred years. Every time, it rewards people with divine powers and spells. It has been so many years. Won't it repeat itself?"
"Basically not. Because of the accumulation of treasured mystical abilities, I used the mystical abilities from thousands or tens of thousands of years ago as a reward. It's very likely that they have already been extinct or lost outside."
The mystic realm spirit said meaningfully, "Of course, the inheritance left behind by Sage King Lang Ya is not allowed to be copied and spread. You however are an exception."
"Why?"
Song Shi was surprised, "I might make hundreds of copies of it when I go out."
"You can't duplicate it yet."
The spirit of the mystic realm said confidently, "The Void Sutra is very mysterious. It's difficult to replicate it for those who haven't cultivated it. Moreover, you have so many enemies. There's no reason for you to impart such priceless cultivation techniques randomly."
"Forget it, I won't joke with you anymore. After this ends, will the mystic realm escape into the depths of the Void? Or will it be nearby?"
"It's nearby, but the Void is unfathomable. If I don't take the initiative to appear, the people of this world won't be able to find me."
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm looked at Song Shi, "You seem to be implying something."
"I'm wondering if I can treat the mystic realm as a cultivation cave abode. The environment here is quite good."
Song Shi did not hide his interest in the mystic realm.
The spirit of the mystic realm was caught between laughter and tears, "You're really greedy. I only asked you for help, I did not intend to sell myself for this help."
"That's a pity."
Song Shi felt regretful. The mystic realm was hidden in the depths of the Void. It was quiet and safe, much more powerful than the cave abodes outside.
The key was that after walking out of the mystic realm, he would have a chance to go to the depths of the Void and receive the 'baptism' of the Void Storm. He could not come into contact with such a phenomenon for the time being in the outside world.
"Young friend, you should leave. The top three are about to be announced."
The mystic realm did not want to talk to Song Shi anymore. With a wave of his hand, he teleported Song Shi down.
On the stage, many geniuses gathered and looked at the last three placings.
The mystic realm trial tested not only individual strength, but also strategies, teamwork, and other abilities. It was more inclined to grade based on comprehensive quality.
To be able to enter the top three meant that the entire team was very outstanding. It was very likely that they would make their country stronger in the future.

"Third place, Feng Wu!"
The voice of the Spirit of the Mystic Realm was dignified, "The Heavenly Phoenix Feather is the reward!"
As soon as the name appeared on the jade tablet, a fiery red feather with a phoenix cry descended from the sky and landed in front of Feng Wu.
"It's actually this reward!"
"This Heavenly Phoenix Feather was provided by the ancient demons when they participated in the Immortal opportunity meeting back then. They only took it out after so many years."
"Incredible. This is an ancient treasure. It's rare in this world."
Feng Wu accepted the reward happily and bowed respectfully, "Thank you for the gift."
She happily held a colorful feather. It contained a divine power of the celestial phoenix, which was beneficial to her and her country.
Swoosh!
Song Shi had just appeared in the crowd when he heard Feng Wu's delighted voice. He pursed his lips and said, "That old man didn't ask me where I wanted to go."
In the depths of the space, the old man had directly brought him back to the mystic realm, making it impossible for him to undergo the Space Storm again…
"The second place, Lei Gensheng, is rewarded with the Nine Dragons Lightning Spirit Mace!"
At this moment, the second place was revealed. Many people in the waiting crowd were surprised.
"What's going on? The Thunder Kingdom isn't number one?"
"I remember that their points exceeded two thousand and two hundred. They seemed to be first before the end."
"What happened? Who overtook us at the last moment?!"
Lei Gensheng was also frowning. He should be first.
Roar!
Nine silver lightning dragons suddenly darted out of the sky and swam in the void. After gathering, they turned into a mysterious silver Mace with a destructive aura.
"Nine Dragons Lightning Spirit Mace, this is a superior-grade spiritual weapon. It was refined by an ancient refining nation. I didn't expect it to still be here. How many treasures are stored in this mystic realm?"
"In the past tens of thousands of years, if they haven't used up all the treasures the ancient cultivators provided, they will probably have accumulated more than a thousand supreme treasures."
"I wonder who the first place will be. I can't think of anyone for a while."
Everyone discussed the final ranking and wondered who was the first place this time.
"First place, Song Shi, will be rewarded with one immortal technique!"
Lei Gensheng raised his head, "Impossible. His points are not as high as mine. How did he get first place?"
He said angrily, "When I was teleported, my points were definitely first. There must be something wrong."
"The trial has ended. It will re-open in a hundred years!"
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm did not explain to Lei Gensheng at all, nor did it bother to explain. As the Void twisted like water, everything related to the Mystic Realm disappeared. Everyone was thrown onto a wasteland and looked at each other.
275 Yes, It Will End Very Soon
"This old man is really direct."
Song Shi did not expect the Spirit of the Mystic Realm to really give him first place. He was actually just joking.
When everyone's attention moved away from the rankings, people started noticing Song Shi's presence.
Their slow realisation could not be blamed as in order to court death, Song Shi often used all his strength to control his aura, so there were basically no fluctuations. Furthermore, the time was short, so it was normal that the people around him did not notice him at first.
"Blood-Robed old ghost!"
"Why didn't I notice him just now?"
"He might have deliberately concealed himself. But if he achieved first place, why don't I see any Immortal Techniques descending?"
The surrounding geniuses retreated a little, puzzled.
"Is it possible that the Spirit of the Mystic Realm gave me the Immortal Technique in advance and let me get first place?"
Song Shi grinned.
Everyone's faces stiffened.
If that was the case, it made sense.
The problem was, wasn't it unfair for the Spirit of the Hidden Territory to do this?
Lei Gensheng's expression was ugly. He had never thought that he would lose in such a way.
Unwilling to give up, he raised his head and said, "Senior Spirit of the Mystic Realm, isn't this unfair?"
"There's no such thing as fairness. The rules are all set by me. He's more suitable to inherit the Immortal Technique. What's there to say about me giving him the first place?"
The Spirit of the Mystic Realmreplied indifferently, "As you all know, it's not every time that the first place gets an Immortal Technique. It still depends on the individual's situation. You guys can leave now. I won't reply anymore."
After saying those words, the air fell silent once more.
Lei Gensheng's expression was ugly, but he didn't dare to question him.
Although the Spirit of the Mystic Realm was an existence similar to an artifact spirit derived from the Array Formation, its strength was very terrifying. It was even stronger than the spirit of the Dharma treasures.
Everyone present, even Emperor Qian, who had already reached the Soul Transformation realm, was no match for the Spirit of the Mystic Realm that had existed for tens of thousands of years.
Such an existence basically did not come into existence anymore after the Ancient Era.
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm did not explain further. Instead, it said to Song Shi gloomily, "Song Shi, can't you just keep quiet about your fortune? It's better for me to violate the rules of the trial secretly than in the open. In the future, cultivators will now be worried that they won't be able to get first place in the genius trial even if they work hard."
Although the spirit said those calmly, there was more or less some resentment in his tone. If not for the fact that there were so many people, he would have pulled Song Shi over and beaten him up.
Of course, with his self-restraint, he still held it in.
"There's no need for the next wave of geniuses. I might be able to save Sage King Lang Ya in a hundred years."

Song Shi replied confidently.
"Save Sage King Lang Ya in a hundred years?"
The Spirit of the Secret Realm was speechless, "If you want to save the Holy Sage, you have to at achieve the level of the Holy Sage which would require thousands of years. Do you really think you can become an immortal in less than that time?"
"Maybe I can do it. Why don't we make a bet? If I can do it, all the treasures in the mystic realm will belong to me and the mystic realm will be mine to use."
Song Shi suggested a small bet. He liked to make small bets when he had nothing to do.
"Oh, if you can really do it, so what if I promise you?"
The mystic realm spirit smiled faintly, "However, if you can do it, you'll be considered a powerhouse in the Upper Realm. Would you even still need this mystic realm?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Im looking forward to your mood after winning the bet."
Song Shi did not care.
"Alright, let's talk about this after you reach the Soul Transformation realm. I'm worried that you won't be able to reach the Soul Transformation realm in the next hundred years."
The Spirit of the Hidden Territory said this on purpose to stimulate him.
As time passed, the situation of the trapped Sage King Lang Ya was unknown. The situation might become more and more dangerous. If he could really save him as soon as possible, he would be very happy.
"I don't need a hundred years. Ten at most. Just wait."
Song Shi said meaningfully. There were shortcuts to his breakthrough. For example, he could force a cultivator stronger than him to possess his body and directly obtain the experience of leveling up.
The spirit of the mystic realm thought that Song Shi was a powerhouse in his previous life and would not have any bottlenecks. That was why he dared to say this.
"Hey, Old Song, are you communicating with the spirit of the Mystic Realm?"
Xuan Buzheng walked over and asked curiously.
"That's right. We're sworn brothers and we're about to separate. He can't bear to part with me and is reminding me of the next time we meet."
Song Shi bragged.
Many people rolled their eyes. It was reasonable to say that you had a special talent and were fancied by the Spirit of the Mystic Realm, but what Song Shi said was simply ridiculous.
"Tsk, Spirit of the Mystic Realm is a special existence that surpasses even the Soul Transformation realm. What right do you have to become sworn brothers with him? I think you're bragging."
He Changqing couldn't stand Song Shi's posture and immediately retorted.
The ox demon among the demons widened his eyes in confusion, "Why is this person blowing me["Bragging" in Chinese is 吹牛 which has the same mining as "blowing a cow".]?"
"Are you a pig? It just means that he's talking big."
The cat demon at the side looked at him in disdain.
"Stupid cat, are you mocking me for being stupid?"
The Ox demon was unhappy.
"Shut up. Now that the trial is over, leave with Father and the others as soon as possible."

The White Tiger King glanced at Song Shi with lingering fears.
Fortunately, this guy didn't target them. Otherwise, he would end up like the Crimson Crow Race.
He glanced at the Crimson Crow Crown Prince. The latter was already bald and had lost a lot of feathers. It must have been destroyed by the Blood-Robed old ghost.
"Sigh, it's fine if you don't believe me."
Song Shi shrugged and glanced at the people who were looking at him with aggression, "Who else wants to kill me? Hurry up, or I'm leaving."
Many people were shocked.
"He's still so f*cking arrogant?"
"Can't he see that there are already a few kings in the sky who wants to kill him?"
"That's a Nascent Soul and even a Soul Formation True Venerable. Are you really not afraid?"
The people from the various large factions widened their eyes and looked at Song Shi. Then, they thought of something and dispersed.
A large space immediately opened up around Song Shi. It was very suitable for battle.
Swish swish swish!
Three figures with terrifying auras descended from the sky. One of them was wearing a red flaming robe. The scorching energy distorted the Void, and his entire body shone like the sun, causing the temperature in the nearby world to suddenly rise and the vegetation to burn.
Beside him, the Crimson Crow crown prince, who was bald from Song Shi's slash, had a gloomy expression and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
On the other side, a burly middle-aged man dressed like a barbarian with a black ax in his hand sized up Song Shi coldly. He was the ruler of the Li Nation, and his powerful pressure landed on Song Shi like a mountain.
Li Ba followed beside him and sneered at Song Shi, "Let's see where you can escape to this time."
The last figure, Emperor Qian looked very ordinary. He was dressed in a yellow robe and had a golden dragon circling around him. His movements were very small and his strength was restrained and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
Qian Wuji followed respectfully behind without saying a word.
The three kings gathered. He Changqing and Xuan Buzheng, who had spoken to Song Shi just now, turned pale.
"Bu Zheng. Come here. Don't interact too much with such people. It's easy to shorten your life."
In the distance, the figure sitting cross-legged on the huge rhinoceros said to Xuan Buzheng from afar.
He Changqing and Feng Wu heard the same thing from their respective elders. They looked at each other and backed away.
They would not act on impulse. At least at this moment, it was no longer something they could interfere with.
Song Shi was enveloped by the pressure. His body was heavy, and it was difficult for him to move. He glanced at Emperor Qian, but he was looking forward to it.
He finally had a chance to die under a Soul Transformation cultivator.
"Seniors, please allow me to challenge the Blood-Robed old ghost and prove who is number one."
Lei Gensheng took a step forward and said politely, "I'll end it soon."
Song Shi glanced at this indignant fellow. "Yes, it will end very soon ."
276 Didn't I Tell You to Use Force?
After being killed by the spatial storm many times, his strength had increased by another level, especially with the Great Mastery Golden Divine Body. Standing here and letting the other party kill him was not something that could be achieved in a single move.
Therefore, in his opinion, the reason why this fellow jumped out was to delay his battle with Nascent Souls and Soul Formation True Venerables. Naturally, he was unwilling to waste too much time on him.
Many people had seen Song Shi's arrogance before, so they were very calm when he said this.
"Everyone, this grandson of mine is usually very low-key. It's rare for him to want to fight for first place, yet in the end, his prize was snatched away by someone through unscrupulous means. He definitely has a right to be angry. Give him some time to resolve it so that he won't have inner demons. How about that?"
On the Thunder Eagle that soared in the sky, a silver-clothed old man smiled.
"Thunder Emperor, I'll give your grandson fifteen minutes."
Emperor Qian said.
Emperor Li and Crimson Crow nodded slightly. Since the Thunder Emperor had personally spoken, it was fine to wait for a moment.
"Thank you, grandpa and seniors."
Lei Gensheng turned around, "Blood-Robed old ghost, others might be afraid of your fire, but I'm not."
He stepped out slowly. His clothes fluttered even though there was no wind. Streaks of silver electric snakes jumped out as if they were alive, emitting crackling sounds. His body expanded slightly and became taller.
Boom!
A deafening thunderclap erupted with lightning Nomological power, and the sky darkened. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was restless, and the wind whistled. The lightning vaguely transformed into a god, like a thunder god descending to the world, bringing with it a heavenly tribulation.
Many geniuses were ashamed of their inferiority to that aura, and even Feng Wu, Qian Wuji, and the other top geniuses were shocked.
"Thunder Sovereign, you're really willing to spend your capital to actually allow his Lightning God Physique to reach a minor breakthrough."
Emperor Qian could not help but take another look at Lei Gensheng.
"Hehe, the Thunder Kingdom really does things like 'thunder'. You like to scare people suddenly."
Emperor Li said sarcastically.
The Crimson Crow Emperor's eyes were cold. With such a successor, the Thunder Kingdom would be a big threat in the future. Fortunately, the Thunder Kingdom was far away from the Crimson Crow Race and they would not be affected for the time being.
"This child is willing to endure hardships and cultivate day and night in the Nine Heavens Thunder. Otherwise, he relying on resources won't help him much either."

The Thunder Sovereign smiled. Everyone could tell that he was a little smug.
Song Shi pursed his lips. These old fellows were so boring. The results of the battle were not even out yet. What was there to be proud of?
The originally solemn atmosphere was broken by his words. Some of the people who were nervous were almost shocked.
"Is this guy always so unreasonable?"
Xuan Buzheng was helpless. Perhaps the only reason he managed to talk to this guy was because Song Shi found his playful nature very interesting.
"His words have successfully angered the successor of another country. Coupled with the previous…"
Lu Youyou covered her face, "Now I understand why he said that he wanted to leave the Heavenly Ghost Sect in public. With him like this, no matter where he goes, his faction might be affected."
The Princess of the Sky Demon Cult looked at Song Shi in a daze and suddenly felt that she had been too impulsive. Even if she wanted to invite him, she shouldn't have let so many people know.
"Where did his confidence come from? Now, not only are there geniuses of the same generation, but there are also people at the level of the three kings watching him."
The Princess felt that this seemingly arrogant and conceited man was full of mystery, making her want to investigate further.
Feng Wu clenched her fists and became even more determined. "I'll find out your secret."
Chen Yiling put on her mask again. Her beautiful eyes darted around, but she did not say a word.
She was no longer in a hurry to escape from this person.
Lightning flickered violently in Lei Gensheng's eyes. He took a deep look at Song Shi and found that this person really didn't take any precautions.
This kind of contempt made him a little angry. "Today, I'll show you the spells and skills of the Thunder Kingdom."
Swoosh!
There was a slight sound of friction in the air. With a flash of silver light, Lei Gensheng had already punched Song Shi hard in the chest.
Only then did the earth-shattering thunderclaps spread out. The dense lightning exploded at the point of contact, sending Song Shi flying and leaving a fissure on the ground.
Lei Gensheng landed at Song Shi's position. His pupils constricted as he looked at the flying figure. "He really didn't retaliate or defend."
He looked at his fist. There was a little bit of swelling on his shiny silver fist.
"I actually injured myself when I hit a defenseless person!"
Lei Gensheng was stunned. Recalling the punch just now, it did not feel like it had hit flesh and blood. Instead, it felt like he had collided with Numinous artifacts with his bare hands.
Ads by Pubfuture
He raised his head with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice, "Your physical body is actually stronger than mine!"
They were both flesh and blood, so his fist should have been harder than the other party's chest, but he was injured. The difference was obvious.
In the air, the various powerhouses watching the battle were also silent.
The Thunder Sovereign, who had been smug and showing off just now, stood up in shock. His gaze sized up the torn clothes on his chest. There was an additional fist mark on it, but Song Shi was not seriously injured. He took a deep breath.
"How can a Golden Core Martial King cultivate his physique to this level? Even demon beasts can't have such a powerful physique."
His smile disappeared, and his brows knitted tightly.
"His flesh and blood are like gold. This is a Great Mastery Golden Divine Body. His body is comparable to Numinous artifacts."
Emperor Qian's cultivation level was high enough and he saw through the situation. He looked at the Ye Family. "He has the golden bloodline of your Ye Family?"
The Ye Family Grand Elder hurriedly denied it. "Impossible. The bloodline power of my Ye Family has never flowed out. Moreover, my Ye Family has not produced a Great Mastery Divine Body for ten thousand years."
"Oh, in that case, it's still a Connate Golden Divine Body. It shouldn't have reached Great Mastery at this time, right? That can only be done at least at the Soul Transformation realm, right?"
The Li Nation's ruler sized up Song Shi, who had gotten up from the ground. He really wanted to capture him and study him.
"Father, when we set up a formation to kill him, this person's physical body was already very terrifying, but he was not as strong as he is now."
Qian Wuji secretly explained what have possibly transpired in the period of time they had been eliminated.
That was, this person's physical body had clearly improved in a short period of time.
"What!"
When Emperor Qian heard that, his expression turned solemn. "In that case, his secret is even more valuable than the peerless Numinous treasures we previously thought of. One is him being undying, and the other is the rapid improvement of his body. This person must be taken down."
The Crimson Crow Crown Prince immediately explained the situation to the Crimson Crow Emperor beside him. Li Ba was about the same.
In an instant, the eyes of the three kings and demon emperors lit up. When they looked at Song Shi again, their gazes had already changed.
He was not looking at an enemy, but a peerless treasure.
Amidst the dust that filled the sky, Song Shi stood up like a carp and patted his chest. The power of lightning that had invaded his body was forced out, and the silver fist mark quickly disappeared.
His tattered clothes were Dharma artifacts that had begun to repair themselves. However, perhaps because they had been damaged many times, they did not succeed this time, causing the chest area to still be damaged.
"It's time to change my clothes. If there's really no other way, I'll use Nomological power to condense my clothes."
Song Shi muttered. He had deliberately taken off his clothes when he died in the spatial storm, but it was still the same. Clothes at the Dharma artifacts level were no longer enough.
He raised his head and said unhappily, "Lei Gensheng, didn't I tell you to use force?"
277 Chapter 257:I Can Fight Ten People Like This
At this moment, Zi Yue, who didn't have much of a presence among the experts, said, "This is the Dharma robe I gave him. He's still wearing it. Unfortunately, he's no longer that person."
She sighed faintly. Who would have thought that the young man who helped her cultivate back then would have such an encounter? When she saw him again, he was already someone she had to be wary of.
On the ground, Lei Gensheng felt a huge blow when Song Shi said that he didn't use any strength.
He clenched his fists and the Numinous artifacts, the Nine Dragons Lightning Spirit Mace, that he had just obtained appeared in his hands. He wanted to use them to prove himself.
"You're not strong enough yet. I'll deal with you directly."
!!
Song Shi realized that the top-grade Golden Divine Body was indeed too powerful. This fellow would not be able to kill him in a short period of time.
There was no need to waste time.
Golden light erupted as Song Shi took a step forward, bringing with him a powerful wave of energy.
Swoosh!
He teleported in front of Lei Gensheng. When he struck out with his palm, there was a terrifying sonic boom. His palm energy turned into a fire dragon, and his power was domineering and condensed.
Lei Gensheng was still unconvinced. He clenched his other hand into a fist and punched out. Dense lightning bolts shone in all directions, equally fierce and domineering.
BANG!
The moment the space distorted, Lei Gensheng's body trembled as if he had been hit by a volcanic eruption. He could not control himself and flew backward.
His eyes widened and he roared, "Stop!"
Lei Gensheng tapped his feet hard, and a large amount of silver lightning erupted behind him. He controlled his strength to retreat.
Song Shi would not give him the chance to adjust. He stomped on the ground again, and as the ground shattered, he suddenly shot over, it was still the Dragon Subduing Palm.
Lei Gensheng had no choice but to raise the Nine Dragons Lightning Spirit Mace and inject his Nomological power into it.
Roar!
A huge silver lightning dragon rushed out of the hammer. It was a thousand feet long and carried a world-destroying aura as it struck down at Song Shi.
Song Shi did not retreat or dodge. The fire dragon in his hand expanded in size as well, and he charged forward fearlessly.
Boom!
Ads by Pubfuture
The power of thunder and fire collided, causing a violent explosion on the spot. The aftershock landed on Lei Gensheng's body. He grunted and was forced back. He fell to the ground, his clothes torn and his body charred.
He was actually injured by his own attack. Shame surged in his heart, and he was furious.
However, he could not afford to be distracted, as a huge flaming foot suddenly shot down from the sky like a comet.
He hurriedly rolled to dodge. Boom! Song Shi left a footprint dozens of feet deep on the ground.
"Your movements are quite agile!"
Song Shi evaluated and used Divine Teleportation Footwork. Nomological power erupted behind him, and his speed increased as he launched a lightning attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He was like a human bomb that would explode wherever he touched. A large amount of Supreme Yang True Fire spread out and sealed the figure with Blink.
After Lei Gensheng retreated once, he was completely at a disadvantage. He retreated again and again, dodging and dodging again and again. A dignified lightning-element cultivator should have been on the attacking side, but he was beaten up by Song Shi so much that he could only defend.
There was a saying that one would lose if one defended for too long. In less than ten moves, there was an explosion and the Nine Dragons Lightning Spirit Mace in his hand was sent flying. He was punched in the chest and smashed into the ground while vomiting blood.
If not for the fact that his armor was a high-grade Dharma treasure that blocked most of the destructive power, this punch would have broken all his bones.
Song Shi landed at the side. The flames on his body danced and his sword aura raged. He was no longer interested in continuing to attack, "Lei Gensheng, you've lost. Go to the side."
He didn't like to kill people who hadn't killed him before. He couldn't be bothered to waste his energy.
"I've lost…"
Lei Gensheng was in a daze. He thought that after a hundred years of bitter cultivation and tempering his body in the Thunder Spirit Pool day and night, he would be able to shock the world this time. In the end, he met a pervert like the Blood-Robed old ghost who had completely defeated him.
Song Shi pursed his lips. After his Golden Divine Body reached the top-grade, his combat strength had increased by a huge margin. It was incomparable to before.
At this moment, the blood in his entire body was boiling. He felt full of strength and even had a bold thought.
He could fight ten people like Lei Gensheng at once!
The crowd that had given way to the arena was silent.
They did not see the Blood-Robed old ghost suppressing Qian Wuji and Li Ba. Now that Lei Gensheng was defeated, it meant that not only did the Blood-Robed old ghost have a deep foundation, but its combat strength was also very powerful.
The Lord of the Thunder Kingdom's face was dark. He snorted and said, "Gensheng, you didn't lose for nothing. I haven't even cultivated a Great Mastery Divine Body yet. He's not your peer at all."
The Great Mastery Divine Body was a standard for the Soul Transformation realm. If one wanted to cultivate it in advance, they basically had to rely on external forces. Otherwise, it was impossible.
"I understand, Grandpa."
Lei Gensheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Song Shi, "You used other methods to improve yourself. It was an unfair victory. Sooner or later, I will surpass you!"
Ads by Pubfuture
Song Shi laughed when he heard that, "Are you saying that you didn't rely on external objects to cultivate and relied on your own hard work only?"
"It's different."
Lei Gensheng shook his head and regained his confidence, "Just you wait. When your external power loses its effect and you stop advancing, I will quickly catch up."
With that, he turned into a bolt of lightning and left.
"The Thunder Emperor makes sense. This Blood-Robed old ghost has lived for a thousand years. He must have used other methods to forcefully increase his Physique. His cultivation is not worthy of his level at all."
Qian Wuji suddenly echoed loudly. But in fact, he was finding an excuse for his failure.
"You're just relying on external objects, yet you actually dare to be so arrogant. You'll suffer retribution in the end!"
Li Ba followed suit and belittled him. At this moment, his mood was much better.
The person who defeated him and made him suffer was not a true genius. He was just an old fellow who relied on external items and was actually very old. His potential was still inferior to his.
Song Shi was a little speechless. Were these guys consoling themselves so that they could feel better about their defeat?
"It's time to end this. Blood-Robed old ghost, you caused a ruckus at the Immortal opportunity meeting and did things without hesitation. You're also a traitor of Great Qian. Today, I'll capture you on behalf of Great Qian!"
Emperor Qian spoke righteously and openly, as if he was upholding justice. Song Shi had become the representative of the demonic cults and should be punished.
He walked out step by step. His monstrous magic power surged and transformed into a golden heavenly dragon. It was ten thousand feet long and its dragon roar shook the world, as if a dragon god had descended.
The void within a radius of a hundred miles was shaking. The power of heaven and earth was gathering towards the long dragon, and the clouds were dyed golden.
Song Shi looked at the sky and felt the power of heaven and earth submit under Emperor Qian's feet. He was a little shocked.
Was this the true strength of the Soul Transformation realm? Every move could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, like a god of this world.
He sighed. "The power of the Soul Transformation realm is indeed powerful. In this world, it's not an exaggeration to say that he's a god."
The other kings and demon powerhouses revealed looks of fear. Only the few Greater Demon Venerables did not have much of a reaction because they were also existences of the same level.
Emperor Qian stepped on the golden dragon and looked down at Song Shi. "Blood-Robed old ghost, stop your cultivation and I'll spare your life."
"Did I ask for you to save my life?"
Song Shi sneered. His expression did not change much. No matter how powerful the Qian Emperor was, to him it was only a matter of farming deaths.
"Then don't blame me."
Emperor Qian raised his hand and prepared to capture the Blood-Robed old ghost.
"Wait, Emperor Qian. This Blood-Robed old ghost has not only offended your country. My country is also his enemy. We don't agree to let you capture him directly."
Although the Li Nation's Ruler was afraid, he still stood up in the end, not wanting to miss out on discovering the secret of the Blood-Robed old ghost.
278 Touching The Demon Venerable, Awakening the Nine Yang Divine Body
"This person killed my son. I want him too!"
The Crimson Crow Emperor was even more direct. He asked for the Blood-Robed old ghost, or to be precise, he wanted to split the 'treasure'.
"The two of you are not qualified today!"
Emperor Qian did not back down. He released a powerful pressure without hesitation, causing the bodies of the two kings who had yet to reach the Soul Transformation realm to sink and their expressions to turn ugly.
"Emperor Qian is right. They don't have the right!"
With a cold laugh, the white-robed Venerable Demon landed behind Song Shi. She twisted his waist and walked over seductively. "My son died in his hands. If you want to kill him, I'll have a share!"
The White Snake Demon Venerable also wanted to participate in the fight to kill Song Shi, and it was obvious that only Soul Transformation cultivators were qualified to participate.
The Ye Family, Vajra Sect, and the others who had a grudge against Song Shi could only watch with bitter expressions. They had no right to get involved at all.
The atmosphere became strange.
No one knew what to say.
They had never seen someone who had offended so many enemies at the same time, nor had they seen someone who had provoked their enemies to fight over killing them. It was simply ridiculous.
Song Shi's face twitched. He was already prepared to die, so why were the four of them fighting by themselves?
'Can't you just kill me first before we talk about dividing it up?'
He coughed. "Ahem, peace makes money. Since you all want to kill me, why don't you come at me at once?"
"…"
Many people were speechless when they heard this. What the f*ck was this? Who would take the initiative to seek death?
"Did I hear wrongly? He asked a few kings and a demon sovereign to attack him one by one? Isn't that having a death wish?"
"I've never heard anyone make such a request!"
"I seriously doubt if there's anything wrong with his brain."
Those who had never seen Song Shi die with their own eyes started to doubt their lives.
Only those who had personally fought the Blood-Robed old ghost understood that this sentence was completely said in confidence.
Ads by Pubfuture
In fact, Song Shi had also laid his cards on the table. He even further told everyone that he was very difficult to kill and not to provoke him easily.
"Old ghost, I admit that you cultivate a blood path cultivation technique and have a tenacious vitality. However, I have many ways to kill you."
The White Snake Demon Venerable strangely appeared beside Song Shi, sticking close to him. Its voice was charming, and its appearance was even more seductive.
She was wearing a simple white dress. The fabric clung tightly to her voluptuous figure. Apart from being graceful, she was filled with flesh. Most importantly, her body was twisting slightly like a snake, bringing with it a different kind of temptation.
An extremely dangerous aura enveloped Song Shi. It was as if he was being targeted by his natural enemy and could be swallowed by the bloody mouth formed by her beautiful red lips at any moment.
However, Song Shi did not tremble like a white mouse. Instead, he sized up the White Snake Demon Venerable greedily.
This was simply a top-notch young married woman. She was mature and seductive. She was definitely not someone a young woman like Lu Youyou could compare to.
The White Snake Demon Venerable raised an eyebrow. Why wasn't this person afraid? Was it because she wasn't intimidating enough?
While she was finding fault with Song Shi's reaction, the latter hugged the snake demon and came into close contact with it under everyone's dumbfounded gazes.
The White Snake Demon Venerable's jade-like vertical pupils were filled with shock. She had never thought that this human would dare to hug her!
Not only did he hug her, but Song Shi also touched her a few times. She felt cold and elastic, and he looked like he was enjoying it.
"This is a real snake waist. It feels good."
What made the White Snake Demon Venerable unable to remain calm was Song Shi's comment.
The humans and demons in the circle were all stunned. The White Snake Demon Venerable had always been high and mighty. Although she had been cheated of her feelings by the deputy cult master of the Sky Demon Cult back then, she was already a demon sovereign of their generation and was even stronger than Soul Transformation cultivators of the same level as humans. Who dared to do this?
Most importantly, this person was still two realms away from her!
Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even the Qian Emperor and the other Demon Venerables did not know what to say for a moment.
"You've got guts!"
The White Snake Demon Venerable was also someone who had seen much of the world. She was stunned for a moment, but it did not lose its composure and only sneered.
A cold light emanated from her white jade-like muscles and bones. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, causing Song Shi's body to be instantly covered in a layer of frost.
It was rare for Song Shi to release the Supreme Yang True Fire to block the cold light. It was not that he did not want to die, but he wanted to stay with this demoness for a while longer.
He grinned. "I can still put you on maternity leave if you're brave enough, believe it or not?"
Although the term maternity leave was unfamiliar, the White Snake Demon Venerable still understood his meaning. Her expression turned cold. "You're forcing me to kill you!"
Song Shi was not afraid at all, he intentionally took another step forward and pressed himself against the White Snake Demon Venerable's chest. Her body was like ice, but it was still soft and comfortable.
Ads by Pubfuture
His body glowed and he whispered into the White Snake Demon Venerable's ear, "Demoness, are you trying to freeze me with you?"
Seeing that Song Shi was pushing his luck, the White Snake Demon Venerable's pupils dilated, revealing her sharp teeth. A fierce expression flashed across its pretty face as it grabbed at Song Shi's neck.
PIAK
Song Shi grabbed it and sized up her flawless white hand. "I have to say, the higher your cultivation level, the better your skin is."
As he spoke, white and golden light intertwined. The power of both sides collided, forming a circle of energy ripples.
Song Shi's cultivation level was ultimately lower. Although the power of the Supreme Yang True Fire, which had yet to reach the Beginner level, was powerful, it was still far inferior to the Will-O-Wisp of ice cultivated by Soul Transformation. It was quickly suppressed…
However, Song Shi's physical body had surpassed that of this realm or even the next realm. His Great Mastery Divine Body was not much inferior to the White Snake Demon Venerable's physical body. Without using additional Nomological power, the White Snake Demon Venerable did not have much of an advantage.
The White Snake Demon Venerable was shocked. How could this person's body be so powerful? He was even more demonic than her.
Emperor Qian and the other powerhouses who were watching the show narrowed their eyes. They weren't in a hurry to do anything. They wanted to see what interesting things the White Snake Demon Venerable could force out of this person.
Crack, crack, crack.
She used her Nomological power slightly and instantly suppressed Song Shi's Supreme Yang True Fire. Song Shi's arm quickly froze and let out an unbearable sound.
"The difference in Nomological power is huge…"
Song Shi sighed. His other hand, which had yet to freeze, raised and patted… her butt twice.
Clap, clap.
A crisp sound echoed, covering the sound of Song Shi's body freezing. The White Snake Demon Venerable couldn't hold on any longer, and endless cold light was released like a tide, turning Song Shi into ice.
But even though Song Shi had turned into ice, his other hand was still touching the White Snake Demon Venerable's butt.
The White Snake Demon Venerable was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and she slapped out fiercely.
Song Shi was directly shattered into pieces.
"Ding! You have been killed by the White Snake Demon Venerable's Will-O-Wisp of Ice. Your body and soul have perished. The rewards have been doubled. Your fire attribute origin has been strengthened, and you have awakened the Nine Yang Divine Body!"
"You have absorbed strength from death and obtained 1,500 Freedom Attribute Points!"
Following the notification, Song Shi was successfully killed by the Soul Transformation Demon Venerable. To his surprise, he actually awakened another Physique.
This Physique focused on the fire attribute, which was different from the Golden Divine Body, which focused on the physical body.
"Since I was killed by the Ice attack… The system has increased my resistance."
Song Shi was deep in thought. He had cultivated the Supreme Yang True Fire. Of course, this True Fire had yet to reach the Beginner stage and was closer to the Nine Yang True Fire.
Perhaps this Nomological power was special, allowing him to have the corresponding special physique.
279 Why Don't Everyone Kill Me Once?
With the awakening of the Nine Yang Divine Body, he realized that the true fire that only existed in his meridians and Golden Core had directly fused into his flesh.
Just like the sword qi comprehended by the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit, it directly became his innate power. At this moment, any bit of blood would have the power of fire.
Previously, only his Nomological power contained true fire. Now, he had it all over his body. The power of his spells or battles had increased greatly.
On the ground, the shattered ice disappeared, and Song Shi appeared behind the White Snake Demon Venerable, flames dancing on his skin.
He hugged the stunned White Snake Demon Venerable from behind. "Beating is adoration and scolding is love[1."Beating is adoration and scolding is love" is a direct translation from the Chinese phrase "打是爱,骂是疼" that is used to describe love being shown through being scolded and disciplined]. Your affection is too much for me."
The White Snake Demon Venerable was shocked, and she released the Will-O-Wisp of ice again. Then, it found that the masculinity in this person's body had become much stronger, and it could not freeze him instantly like before.
Song Shi deliberately leaned on her shoulder with a look of enjoyment. "It's quite cool."
"Then you can freeze to death."
Killing intent burst forth from the White Snake Demon Venerable's eyes, and she used even more Nomological power to freeze this person.
This time, Song Shi's flesh was emitting scorching energy, but it was temporarily blocked. His palm continued to take advantage of the demon.
"Why does this old ghost's body contain such a majestic Yang Origin? Why didn't it appear just now?"
Emperor Qian stared at Song Shi. He had been paying attention and could clearly see the difference.
"Father, it might be the work of a treasure."
Qian Wuji speculated. He did not think that this person was hiding his cultivation.
Emperor Qian frowned and looked at the Blood-Robed old ghost that had been frozen into ice again. Until now, he had not found any traces of the so-called treasure.
Amidst the shattering sound, Song Shi died again.
The Nine Yang Divine Body continued to improve, and the true fire contained in his flesh and blood became denser. It was extremely beneficial to his cultivation of the Supreme Yang True Fire.
On the second resurrection, the White Snake Demon Venerable was still held by Song Shi. This time, she was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, she hugged Song Shi and squirmed slightly against his body.
She sized up Song Shi's body and said with interest, "You're really capable. Do you want to go back with me to play?"
She really wanted to capture this person and study him properly. She wanted to see how he dodged the Will-O-Wisp and how he teleported behind her.
There will definitely be great benefits after figuring out these secrets.
"No problem. I don't mind having children with you."

Song Shi smiled. The snake demon's divine power could stimulate his Nine Yang Divine Body to improve, so he was naturally interested in being frozen a few more times.
"Pervert, you're shameless. You even want to f*ck demons."
Lu Youyou spat in disdain.
"What a role model."
Xuan Buzheng praised.
He Changqing chuckled. "This guy really knows how to talk."
Faced with Song Shi's ridicule, the White Snake Demon Venerable's eyes flashed coldly, but it was unwilling to mention her vile spawn. It said expressionlessly, "Since you agree, let's go."
She grabbed Song Shi's arm and wanted to teleport away.
Swoosh!
Emperor Qian stepped on the golden dragon and blocked the way with a domineering expression. "White Snake Demon Venerable, I didn't agree to let you take him away."
"This person wants to leave with me, what right do you have to stop him?" The White Snake Demon Venerable's body glowed with a cold light, and monstrous demonic qi transformed into a cold white snake that was as powerful as the other party.
The two Soul Transformation Aura collided, creating a terrifying energy storm on the spot. The weather changed drastically. One side was Holy Light, and the other side was Cold Hail.
Song Shi's expression changed. This was the true strength of a Soul Transformation cultivator. The White Snake Demon Venerable hadn't used its full strength when dealing with him just now.
"This is an enemy of our human race. It's our internal matter. Don't interfere!"
Emperor Li landed on the side and stopped the White Snake Demon Venerable from taking Song Shi away.
"Hmph, him killing my son made it no longer an internal matter of your human race only!"
The Crimson Crow Emperor also landed on the White Snake Demon Venerable's side. Although the Crimson Crow Race and the White Snake Race were natural enemies, it was fine to temporarily stand on each other's side for the sake of this person's treasures.
The other kings, demon emperors, and even demon sovereigns only watched coldly, as if they were not prepared to get involved.
However, the smart spectators knew that once something good appeared, they would definitely not sit still and wait around.
"In that case, we can only fight to decide who deserves the ownership!"
The White Snake Demon Venerable raised her brows, and a fierce aura appeared on its body, suppressing Emperor Qian.
The latter had just broken through to the Soul Transformation realm, and his human Physique was slightly inferior to a spirit snake like the white snake. He gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
However, when he took out a black Spear, the difference was instantly made up. The power of the black Spear fused with Emperor Qian's Nomological power and quickly transformed into a black dragon that emitted a powerful aura.
For a moment, dragons and snakes appeared in the void and the black and white were clearly distinguishable.

"This is the Dharma treasure that replicates the Numinous treasures, the Heavenly Dragon Spear? Why does its power not match Emperor Qian's at all?"
"So what if it doesn't match? This Dharma treasure is still powerful and has surpassed ordinary Numinous artifacts. I wonder if they have reached the level of Numinous treasures."
"The Qian Nation is still as big as ever. Although they don't have any Numinous treasures to support them, Emperor Qian has broken through to the Soul Transformation realm and refined this Numinous treasure replica. He can't be underestimated."
In the dark, there were people discussing softly. The expressions of the Sky Demon Cult and the other demonic cultivators didn't look too good.
The more powerful Emperor Qian was, the more unlucky they would be.
At this moment, Song Shi rolled his eyes and let go of the White Snake Demon Venerable. He took a step forward and said, "I'm going with this demoness myself. If you want revenge, why don't you all kill me once to vent your anger?"
Seeing that Song Shi was courting death again, Emperor Qian, Crimson Crow, and the others frowned. They could not figure out what Song Shi's motive was.
Even if this old ghost was very difficult to kill, there was no need to do this, right?
"Shut up. You have no right to speak now."
The White Snake Demon Venerable waved her hand and Song Shi turned into ice on the spot, but he was not killed.
She opened her mouth and wanted to swallow Song Shi. Suddenly, a dragon's roar sounded. A huge black dragon claw descended from the sky and forced her back with a bang.
Song Shi was sent flying like a rubber ball by the aftershock of the collision.
Crimson Crow Emperor's eyes lit up as he transformed into his original form. He spread his wings and flew out, grabbing at Song Shi.
"Piss off!"
Emperor Li slashed down with his huge ax, forcing Crimson Crow Emperor to dodge to the side. The power of the huge ax landed on the ground and slashed out a canyon.
However, in the next second, a white shadow slapped him and sent him flying.
The white shadow stopped and revealed a silver-white snake tail. Her scales had snowflake-like patterns. Endless freezing power was released with the cold light. The ground nearby was covered in a layer of ice, and snowflakes kept falling from the sky.
Looking at its body, this was a white snake that was nearly a thousand meters long coiling on the ground. There was a slight protrusion on her head. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was about to transform into a flood dragon.
The white snake was a natural ancient mutant with a high growth limit. Hence, she was unlike snakes that could transform into flood dragons at the Golden Core realm. Although it was not a flood dragon, its strength was more terrifying than ordinary flood dragons.
She moved her tail and caught Song Shi, who had turned into ice. She did not try to swallow him again because Emperor Qian was watching her.
"White Snake Demon Venerable, are you sure you want to go against me?"
Emperor Qian's expression was cold, "Believe it or not, I'll flatten your White Snake Cave tomorrow!"
"Emperor Qian, you're quite arrogant. Are you planning to rely on numbers to bully our Snake race?"
Amidst his sinister laughter, Black Snake Demon Venerable landed beside White Snake Demon Venerable with a fake smile.
280 The Power of the Cultivator Army
The situation immediately changed. The Snake Clan had a huge advantage.
The White Snake Demon Venerable glanced at the old man and said to him, "Help me get out of here, and I'll give you half of him."
"Fairy White Snake, you're being too polite. We're of the same kind, so we should help each other."
Black Snake Demon Venerable replied and waved his hand. A torrential black Nomological power transformed into a huge river that surged towards the Crimson Crow Emperor and Emperor Li.
After all, the two of them were one realm apart. Due to the power of the black river, they were still forced back by the river despite defending with all their might.
The Crimson Crow Emperor was furious. "I'm helping you, yet you're attacking me?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I used too much strength."
Black Snake Demon Venerable replied with a smile.
The White Snake Demon Venerable also fought with Emperor Qian. The difference in strength between the two was not big. After a collision, they quickly separated.
"Qian Dragon Army, form a formation and kill the demons!"
Emperor Qian gave the order, and the following army roared and moved in unison. The power of the soldiers compiled and gathered into a long dragon and attacked the White Snake Demon Venerable.
Because this area was originally within the range of the human race, other than the king and the army, the nine countries did not send any other Soul Transformation powerhouses.
Other than their Demon Venerables, the Snake Clan really did not have any outstanding geniuses this time. They directly sent these two powerhouses to hold down the fort. Both of them could be considered the top combat power here.
Originally, it was just to make up for appearances, but at this moment, it played a role in fighting for the humanoid treasure, Song Shi.
BOOM!
The long dragon unleashed by the army of cultivators collided with the White Snake Demon Venerable's demonic body and was forced back.
Song Shi was rather shocked.
This was the strength of a team. The highest cultivation level of the army was only at the Nascent Soul Martial Emperor Realm, but in terms of explosive power, it made even a Soul Transformation cultivator retreat.
The reason why the Nine Nations did not send Soul Transformation cultivators was because they each had a powerful army of cultivators that surpassed any sect or family. Even without using war Dharma treasures, they could still intimidate many factions.
At this moment, the Li Nation's army of cultivators also moved. Boundless power gathered and transformed into a blood-colored ax that slashed fiercely at Black Snake Demon Venerable.
BOOM!
Black Snake Demon Venerable's river of Dharmic powers was split into two. The latter snorted and fear flashed across his eyes.
"Fairy White Snake, you have to get away as soon as possible. Otherwise, it won't be easy for you to leave."
It could even be life-threatening.

"Let's go!"
The White Snake Demon Venerable grabbed Song Shi, who was sized up by the army of cultivators, and a cold light flickered on its body. Her body suddenly shrunk and with a swoosh, it burrowed into the ground.
The Black Snake Demon Venerable did the same. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace. The two kings and the army of cultivators chasing after it only shattered the ground, but they could no longer find its shadow.
"These demon ingrates like to burrow into the ground!"
Emperor Qian was a little angry. Originally, when he fought with Emperor Li and Crimson Crow, he had the strength of the Soul Transformation realm and had the greatest chance of winning.
In the end, he did not expect the two Snake Demon Venerables to interfere and snatch the person away. He had no choice but to yield.
"Father, this Blood-Robed old ghost is unfathomable. Perhaps it's also a disaster for them."
Qian Wuji comforted him.
"Let's hope so. If he can still make the White Snake Demon Venerable suffer, then we have to consider whether we should continue to offend him."
The Qian Emperor snorted, "Qian Dragon Army, retreat!"
He glanced at a certain place. The people from the Snake Clan and the Demon Cult had already taken the opportunity to slip away. It was not good to chase and kill them now.
Underground.
Song Shi saw a white snake quickly break through the soil and advance. He clicked his tongue, "As expected of a snake. You really know how to drill holes."
"Bullsh*t, this is my innate divine power. It's equivalent to the Earth Escape Spell of your human race!"
The White Snake Demon Venerable turned around and stared at Song Shi coldly. "We're going back to the White Snake Cave soon. Take out your treasure as soon as possible so that you can suffer less."
She wanted to get the treasure now. This way, she might not have to split it with the old thing.
"What treasure do you want?"
Song Shi smiled, "I have many big 'treasures' on me."
"Hmph, stop pretending. You know what I want!"
The White Snake Demon Venerable sneered, "What Emperor Qian and the others want from you."
"I'm sorry, I can't take it out."
Song Shi knew that she was referring to the reason why his body was so terrifying. However, he really could not take it out. This was his innate system.
"Then I can only think of a way to make you spit it out!"
The White Snake Demon Venerable began to threaten him. "When we go back, you will experience the pain of being bitten by thousands of snakes."
"Can you bite me instead? Forget about that old black snake."
Song Shi tried to negotiate.

"Stop being foolish. You're the prisoner. It's not up to you to choose!"
The White Snake Demon Venerable sneered.
A black aura appeared beside him, and the Black Snake Demon Venerable emerged from it and followed him into the ground.
"Fairy White Snake, what's the point of talking nonsense with him? If you don't hand over the secret, human, I'll torture you. You will have tens of thousands of snakes biting your body and I will even give you a shower in snake venom. Hehe."
Black Snake Demon Venerable sized up Song Shi coldly. "I am quite experienced in dealing with humans. No matter how tough your bones are, there will come a day where you will be 'softened' by me."
"This is a slow death. I'm not interested."
Song Shi shook his head. Even if he had a death wish, he had strict requirements regarding the quality of deaths. Being able to die happily and swiftly was the most basic requirement. If he could die happily and swiftly, that would be for the best.
"Ridiculous. Is a prey qualified to say such things?"
Black Snake Demon Venerable took out a poisonous blade and stabbed it into Song Shi's chest. Strands of terrifying poison invaded Song Shi's body.
"Experience the poison first. It will make your entire body itch, as if there's gangrene crawling in your body. Consider it an appetizer."
He smiled sinisterly. As expected, he was very experienced in torturing people. Even his words could scare people.
Song Shi frowned. At that moment, he already had a faint feeling that an itch was spreading from his bones. He could not help but grab it, but he could not quash it at all.
"I told you, I don't like this kind of torture!"
Song Shi snorted.
Ragnarok!
The ice that had frozen him was instantly broken free. Song Shi regained his freedom and slapped the stunned Black Snake Demon Venerable, causing his face to morph out of shape.
"What?"
The White Snake Demon Venerable didn't expect Song Shi to be able to break free from her ice seal. She hurriedly increased its strength, but she was blocked by a layer of Holy Golden Light and couldn't freeze this person at all.
The Black Snake Demon Venerable's face contorted after being slapped. He roared with a murderous aura, "You have a death wish!"
He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a black corrosive force. The moment Song Shi came into contact with it, his body quickly melted.
This old fellow's talent was different from the White Snake Demon Venerable's Ice Will-O-Wisp. It was a strange corrosive power that also contained a cold intent.
In fact, this was the aggregation of all kinds of poisons. Song Shi quickly lost consciousness and black gas emitted from his body. With a sizzling sound, Song Shi turned into a pile of mud.
"You hit him too hard. Why did you kill him? Don't you know that he can be resurrected?"
The White Snake Demon Venerable stopped, somewhat dissatisfied.
"Hmph, no one has ever dared to hit me like this!"
Black Snake Demon Venerable snorted: "Since he can revive, what is there to be afraid of?"
"I'm not sure if he'll run away when he revives. Previously, when he revived, I didn't manage to catch his tracks."
The White Snake Demon Venerable observed her surroundings and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Song Shi was still there.
