Chapter 241: Burning Lifespan!
【You saw the countless eyes on the Fleshy Sphere staring fixedly at you, constantly shifting and rolling.】
【“My delicious food, you’ve finally arrived!”】
【As you looked at the monster before you, you had no idea why, but a deep fear began to rise uncontrollably from the bottom of your heart.】
【It felt as though you were innately afraid of it.】
【In an instant, you unleashed everything you had learned against it, but the feeling it gave you was the same as the Human Emperor’s.】
【You were defeated by the monster before you with ease.】
【Looking at this monster you had never seen before, you had no idea what it was. The aura on its body was extremely eerie.】
【At that moment, you remembered something the Human Emperor had once given you.】
【It was something the Human Emperor had entrusted to you before he left, so that you could use it to intimidate the other factions while governing the Weiyang Immortal Realm.】
【After the Human Emperor returned, he never took it back, so you decisively pulled out a small sword.】
【The small sword slammed into the eerie monster and erupted with boundless power.】
【Very soon, you saw the eerie monster before you blasted into pieces and vanish from sight.】
【After sensing that you had survived a desperate situation, you could not stop yourself from laughing out loud.】
【However, that laughter abruptly came to an end after only a short while.】
【You saw that the eerie monster that had just vanished was recovering in an indescribable way, returning to its original form while still wearing the Human Emperor’s face.】
【You saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face reveal a strange smile.】
【You shouted and demanded to know what kind of monster it was.】
【At that instant just now, you had already completely lost all sense of its aura. You had no idea how it had revived.】
【“Wait... I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before!”】
【“Hiss! It hurts!”】
【“Who are you? Why can’t I remember?!”】
【“You are! You are! Bizar—”】
【You felt intense pain erupt from the depths of your soul, yet you still could not remember anything clearly.】
【You managed to speak only a single word before the eerie monster seized your throat in an iron grip.】
【“Mmm~”】
【“As expected, food tastes best when it’s at its most terrified, most frightened.”】
【In the next instant, you watched in horror as the eerie monster tore off your left arm alive and ate it bite by bite.】
【The pain from your body and your mind plunged your vision into darkness for a moment.】
【You gritted your teeth and stared fixedly at the eerie monster before you, desperately trying to remember what it really was.】
【Somewhere in the dark, you vaguely sensed that as long as you remembered its true identity, you would be saved.】
【“What is it? What exactly is it?”】
【“Aaaagh!!!”】
【Very soon, your second arm was torn off as well.】
【Then your left leg and your right leg were torn away one after another.】
【The eerie monster licked its lips with lingering satisfaction, its eyes fixed on you with naked greed.】
【That hand filled with eerie aura reached toward your head.】
【As you stared at those hands drawing closer and closer, you suddenly heard the sound of glass shattering in your mind.】
【Immediately afterward, fragments of shattered memories flooded into your mind.】
【“I remember now!”】
【“You’re a Bizarre Immortal! The terrifying member of the Bizarre Immortal Race I saw in the Canglan Realm!”】
【“And this isn’t reality. This is my inner world.”】
【Once you remembered everything, your eyes filled with flames of fury. You no longer feared the Bizarre Immortal Race in your heart—what remained was boundless rage.】
【You had never expected that the thing you feared most in your heart was not the Bizarre Insect Clan, but the Bizarre Immortals.】
【In the next instant, the scene before your eyes vanished, and you awakened.】
【After waking up, your entire body was drenched in sweat, and a wave of lingering fear washed over you.】
【You knew that in that situation just now, if you had died in the illusion, then you would have truly died and never awakened again.】
【You knew that this time, you had been careless. The Ruins of Illusion was likely far more terrifying than the first trial.】
【Within the Ruins of Illusion, that feeling of sinking into it, that feeling of wielding supreme authority, had completely intoxicated you.】
【Only after a long while did you gradually calm down again.】
【At this moment, you had finally passed the trial of the Undying Deathless Scripture and could formally begin cultivating the technique.】
【Year Two!】
【After cultivating for a full year, you still could not capture any Soul-Origin Qi, and this made you begin to suspect that the technique might be fake.】
【But very quickly, you rejected that thought.】
【The two trials before cultivating the technique had been absolutely real. There was no possibility that they were fake.】
【Thus, you could only blame the problem on your own talent.】
【Only you knew clearly in your heart that all the way until now, you had relied on the Simulator’s talents to reach this point. Otherwise, with your original talent, even breaking through to Foundation Establishment would have been difficult.】
【Year Five!】
【You opened your eyes unwillingly.】
【You had not expected that after cultivating for five whole years, you still had not captured a single strand of Soul-Origin Qi.】
【And this was even with the enhancement of the talent Great Dao Clarity. As long as Void-Clarity Meditation had recovered, you would use it.】
【Even after repeating that cycle for a full five years, you had still failed to capture any. That alone showed just how difficult this technique was to cultivate.】
【These five years had been completely wasted, and that was something you absolutely could not accept.】
【To you, time was the most precious thing of all.】
【“Could it be... I can only use that method?”】
【You suddenly thought of a way, but your heart fell into hesitation.】
【You did not know whether you should use it. If you used it and still failed to capture Soul-Origin Qi, then you really would have lost everything for nothing.】
【“Hah!”】
【In the end, you still decided to use the skill—Dao Heart Clarity.】
【This skill was the unique skill of the talent Great Dao Clarity, and it could only be used three times in a lifetime.】
【“A thousand years of lifespan...”】
【You currently had nine thousand years of lifespan, so losing one thousand years was still within what you could accept.】
【A resolute look appeared in your eyes as you decided that even at the cost of your lifespan, you would capture Soul-Origin Qi no matter what.】
【If sacrificing lifespan could be exchanged for the Immortal-Demon Body, then you were willing to accept it.】
【“Dao Heart Clarity!!!”】
【In an instant, your face turned as pale as paper, and one-third of your hair became white.】
【A tremendous amount of life force drained from your body.】
【Suddenly, you realized that something was wrong.】
【After using Dao Heart Clarity, you discovered that far more than one thousand years of lifespan had drained away. It had reached a full three thousand years.】
【“How could this happen?”】
【A sense of fear rose from deep within your heart.】
【But you had no time to think. In the next instant, you entered a state of Great Dao Enlightenment.】
