Foundation Establishment Means Death Sentence? Did My Simulator Glitch?

Chapter 90: An Unknown, Terrifying Existence!

【After hearing Lin Tian’s words, a bad premonition immediately rose in your heart.】

【You got up at once and headed for the grass hut where Zhuge Qing was staying.】

【As soon as you entered the grass hut and saw Zhuge Qing’s pale face and the blood at the corner of his mouth, you instantly understood what he had done.】

【“Have you lost your mind?”】

【“Do you have any idea what the consequences of doing this are?”】

【Zhuge Qing struggled to his feet and revealed a faint smile to you.】

【“I know. I know everything. It is just that I have spent my whole life refusing to admit defeat. I wanted to see what exactly this heaven-and-earth calamity was.”】

【“Besides, I never thought I would be able to deduce anything in the first place. I did not expect that your reminder would change the outcome of the deduction.”】

【Looking at the expression on Zhuge Qing’s face, you suddenly began to regret telling him about the great calamity.】

【In the next moment, you saw Zhuge Qing put away the smile on his face, replacing it with a grave expression.】

【“It is good that you came. Karma is now upon me, and I do not have much lifespan left. Next, I will burn away what remains of myself to help you find clues to the old site of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.”】

【You looked at Zhuge Qing in shock. You did not understand why he had suddenly decided to go to his death.】

【In your view, for a man with ambitions as great as his, before fulfilling his ideals, the thing he should value most was his own life.】

【“But...”】

【Just as you were about to speak, Zhuge Qing directly raised a hand and interrupted you.】

【“Listen to me first!”】

【“Just now, while deducing the great calamity, I was inadvertently discovered by the mighty being behind it.”】

【“I can feel it. Before long, a great terror will descend. I am afraid I will not live to see the day my lifespan naturally runs out.”】

【“The only thing I can do now is place my hopes on you, because there is a very high chance that you are the person from the prophecy.”】

【As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Qing burst into loud laughter.】

【“So this is what the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion did back then. I never thought that in this life, I, Zhuge Qing, would also be able to do something for the Canglan Realm!”】

【Right afterward, you saw the qi and blood in Zhuge Qing’s body begin burning rapidly.】

【In the blink of an eye, Zhuge Qing transformed from a young man into the appearance of an old man in his twilight years.】

【BOOM—】

【All of a sudden, you felt the surrounding space begin to tremble violently.】

【Immediately after that, you sensed the void above the Sword Pavilion start to shatter.】

【Crack—】

【You looked up into the void and discovered that after it broke apart, a black vortex was revealed.】

【Endless Spiritual Energy began surging into the vortex, and at the same time, a voice came from within it.】

【“I thought it was that one. I did not expect it to be only two ants!”】

【“Two mere ants, and you think you can change anything?”】

【You had only heard those two sentences, yet blood was already pouring from your seven orifices. That Pressure caused all the meridians in your body to begin rupturing.】

【“No!!!”】

【You mobilized all the power in your body and began resisting that Pressure. The Azure Emperor Longevity Art continuously repaired your body.】

【But the speed at which the Azure Emperor Longevity Art repaired you was far slower than the speed at which your body was collapsing.】

【“Hah! Even an ant dares dream of resisting?”】

【The moment those words fell, you felt the Pressure on your body grow even more terrifying. In an instant, your eyes lost all sight.】

【At that very moment, Zhuge Qing suddenly opened his eyes wide and, with great difficulty, forced out two words to you!】

【“Hao... Tian...!”】

【By the time he tried to say the third word, although you could no longer see, you could sense that Zhuge Qing’s aura was already gone.】

【You knew that Zhuge Qing was dead.】

【With no other choice, you sent part of your consciousness into your External Incarnation.】

【Very soon, your main body could no longer withstand that Pressure and completely exploded into a cloud of blood mist, dispersing into the air.】

【“Hm? Interesting! You think you can escape like this?”】

【A ray of faint light shot out from the black vortex in the void. After striking the blood mist that your body had turned into, it vanished without a trace.】

【Then, the Pressure disappeared, and the shattered void slowly began to heal.】

【Not long afterward, the Sword Pavilion returned to its usual calm.】

【In the next moment, Gu Xinyue, Zi You, Fang Jingchun, and the others rushed at top speed to the wooden cabin where you had been.】

【When they looked at the grass hut reduced to ruins before them and the two pools of blood on the ground, they were so shocked that they could not speak.】

【Only when your External Incarnation arrived did Zi You finally recover from her shock.】

【Zi You asked whether you knew what had happened here.】

【Zi You told you that, in that brief instant just now, her body had been frozen in place and she had been unable to move at all.】

【At the same time, Gu Xinyue and Fang Jingchun also chimed in, saying that their situations had been exactly the same as Zi You’s.】

【The moment they regained the ability to move, they rushed over immediately. They had not expected to find this scene before them.】

【You looked at the bloodstains in front of you and let out a long sigh.】

【At the same time, Lin Tian arrived belatedly as well.】

【You told everyone what had just happened.】

【After hearing that Zhuge Qing had deduced the great calamity of the Canglan Realm and had been discovered by an unknown, terrifying existence, suffering a karmic backlash as a result—】

【And that your main body and Zhuge Qing had both then been hunted down and killed by that unknown, terrifying existence, which had shattered the void to pursue them—】

【And that before his death, Zhuge Qing had spoken two words: Hao Tian—】

【You made it clear that you did not know what those two words represented.】

【When Zi You heard that, she frowned tightly, as though she were trying to remember something.】

【Whoosh—】

【Suddenly, from one of the pools of blood amid the ruined grass hut, a drop of blood shot violently toward your External Incarnation.】

【Bang!】

【That droplet of blood drilled fiercely into your body.】

【In an instant, you felt your entire body begin to burn with heat, while an intense itch spread all over you.】

【You desperately clawed at your two arms with both hands, scratching frantically.】

【The sudden turn of events left Zi You and the others completely caught off guard.】

【None of them had seen clearly what had just happened. They only knew that you were now inexplicably clawing at your own body.】

【A moment later, your arms were covered in scratches from your own nails, and blood had begun to flow.】

【Inwardly, you knew that whatever was happening to your body had something to do with that drop of blood just now.】

【You also knew that continuing to scratch like this was not a solution, but you simply could not control your own body.】

【Gradually, the itch lessened a little, but then your face changed drastically once again.】

【You felt as if something inside your body was about to come out, as though it were burrowing up from beneath your skin.】

【You stared wide-eyed at your own hands.】

【In the next second, a layer of black liquid began seeping out from beneath your skin.】

【Soon after, black liquid began seeping out all over your face and legs as well.】

【Zi You and the others stared at you in disbelief as, within just a few breaths, your entire body became covered in black liquid.】

【You stretched out a hand toward Zi You in the distance, wanting to ask for her help.】

【Unfortunately, once the black liquid spread across your entire body, you lost consciousness.】

【You fell into a coma!】

【You died!】
