Eternal Life: I Can Harvest Demon Beast Talents

"Meet your death!"

The two Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators in pursuit were filled with a cruel, murderous intent for Chef Zeng.

It had simply been too long.

This chase had already lasted a full day, and they had no idea how this Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Huang Family had managed it.

After all, the disparity in Magical Power was obvious, yet he had managed to pull away from them time and time again.

’A special Escape Technique?’

Although their quarry was struggling and in a sorry state, they had been unable to land an effective, killing blow.

It was incredibly frustrating.

Their mission was to eliminate any and all of the Huang Family’s forces with utmost prejudice, especially a straggler like this. They absolutely could not let this opportunity slip by.

Now, their target was clearly a spent arrow at the end of its flight, yet he had run to a Spiritual Land to seek help.

The two Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators sneered inwardly. ’Does he really think he can rest easy just because he reached a Spiritual Land of the Purple Extreme Sect?’

SWISH! SWISH!

The crimson Middle Grade Long Saber Spiritual Artifact sliced diagonally through the air. A dazzling, sinister blade gleam condensed on its edge before viciously chopping down at the figure ahead, the force of it making space itself boom.

The other weapon, a long spear, locked onto his vital energy. A massive, phantom spearhead formed and shot straight toward the target.

If even one of these two attacks landed, Chef Zeng’s fate would be horrifying. He would either be instantly diced into fragments of minced meat, or a massive hole would be punched through his body, annihilating most of it.

Sensing the attacks from behind, Chef Zeng acted as if he hadn’t noticed. He made no major evasive maneuvers, instead just pouring all his effort into accelerating forward.

In truth, he was already exhausted, his Magical Power completely depleted. If he tried to block or make a wide dodge, he wouldn’t be able to evade perfectly and would still be injured. But if he slowed, his escape speed would drop, and he would truly be caught by the two Cultivators behind him. That would be a dead end.

Although Lin Changheng’s Cultivation was higher than his, having reached Foundation Establishment earlier, Chef Zeng didn’t know if he was in the Early Stage or Middle Stage. Even if he was a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it would be difficult for him to fight two opponents at once.

If Lin Changheng left the Array, he too would be in peril. A cautious person probably wouldn’t do that, and Chef Zeng didn’t want to put him in a difficult position.

After all, any hesitation or deliberation from the person inside the Array would only lower his own chances of survival.

Therefore, his best option was to ignore everything else and desperately rush into the Array.

...

Inside the Array, Lin Changheng’s brow furrowed. He was displeased that Chef Zeng had brought trouble to his doorstep, but considering their past friendship, he sighed.

Just as the sinister blade gleam and the sharp spear phantom were about to strike Chef Zeng’s back—

VMMM!

The space not far in front of Chef Zeng suddenly rippled like water. A thick, solid wall of deep-yellow earth, glowing with an earthen halo, instantly materialized out of thin air, appearing right behind the frantically fleeing man!

The wall’s appearance was perfectly timed. With a loud BANG, the dazzling, sinister blade gleam slammed directly into it.

It let out a deafening roar!

The jade-like lake below was blasted by the shockwave from the collision, sending water splashing everywhere and raising a great Water Curtain.

The earthen wall trembled violently, its light flickering wildly. It had clearly taken immense pressure, but it stubbornly refused to shatter, successfully blocking the fatal attack for a crucial instant!

At the same time, a streak of black light appeared out of nowhere. It shot across the sky, leaving a black afterimage as it spun, transforming into a massive black grindstone. Though it started later, it arrived first, positioning itself with perfect precision in the path of the phantom spearhead.

CLANG!

The Black Seal was incredibly heavy, its pressure making the air boom. After a brief stalemate, it ground the phantom spearhead to pieces, inch by inch. The phantom shattered with a final BANG, completely annihilated.

It was none other than Lin Changheng who had acted.

He had simultaneously countered the killing blows of two Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

And in that very instant!

Chef Zeng felt the heart-stopping killing intent behind him falter. He sensed the opening, and his survival instincts kicked in, forcing him to erupt with all his potential. His speed increased by another notch, and he shot forward a great distance like an arrow loosed from a bowstring!

At this moment, the earthen wall fulfilled its purpose. It crumbled under the aftershock of the attack, shattering into motes of Spiritual Light that dissipated into the air.

Having successfully struck, the Black Seal did not linger. It flew back and fell into position behind Chef Zeng, as if escorting and guarding him.

The two pursuing Cultivators obviously hadn’t expected this sudden turn of events, and their figures paused slightly.

It was just this momentary delay!

SWOOSH!

A thin but incredibly sharp line of crimson fire shot out from the Array without any warning. Its speed was beyond imagination, and it aimed with unerring accuracy for the throat of the saber-wielding Gray Robe Cultivator!

The angle was devious, the timing vicious!

Alarm bells screamed in the Gray Robe Cultivator’s mind. He abandoned the pursuit and hastily maneuvered his Long Saber Spiritual Artifact to turn and block.

CLANG! With a crisp sound, the Long Saber Spiritual Artifact let out a mournful cry. The force of the blow left half of the Gray Robe Cultivator’s body numb, his face a mask of horror. His assault was completely broken.

His spear-wielding companion saw this and felt a chill run through his heart. He instinctively grew wary of what lay ahead, and his speed inevitably slowed.

Just as the two were being hindered by this sudden interference—

Not far ahead of Chef Zeng, by the seemingly empty lakeside, the two-layered Array Light Curtain silently split open, forming a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through! A voice transmission also entered Chef Zeng’s ear with perfect clarity: "Get in!"

Chef Zeng was overjoyed. Without the slightest hesitation, he plunged headfirst into the rift of light!

The second after his figure vanished inside, the rift instantly sealed itself. The Array Light Shield returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened.
