Chapter 169: What Credentials Do We Have?
The vice-palace master’s eyes were filled with worry.
He was concerned about his future.
One wrong step could lead to a lifetime of regret.
At that moment, the vice-palace master suddenly remembered an old man.
A fortune-teller.
That old man once said that the path he chose was a dead end.
If he kept going down it,
He would inevitably fall into the abyss.
But at the time, he thought the old man was probably a fraud.
Because ever since he joined the Angry Heaven Palace,
His cultivation surged rapidly.
His status rose just as fast.
That seemed to confirm that the old man was a con artist.
But now, it seemed that the old man hadn’t been wrong.
The vice-palace master fell into deep thought.
At this moment, the headmaster’s gaze fell upon him.
He couldn’t help but say, “What are you worried about? No matter how strong Ji Suying is, she can’t fight a hundred Void Refinement experts. And these are all extraterrestrial Void Refinement experts; you have no idea how strong they are. As for those two scoundrels, they’re just Nascent Souls. Are you worried that their Nascent Soul can battle 20,000 Body Integrators?”
The vice-palace master forced a smile.
“Right you are, Headmaster!”
Then the two fell into silence.
They stared intently at the void projection.
But while the vice-palace master was watching,
He began packing his things.
He had already resolved in his mind.
If this time the Angry Heaven Palace succeeded,
He would keep watching.
If they failed,
He would run without hesitation.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of death.
But compared to dying for real, he had no complaints.
However, attaching himself to such a controllable operation that could blindly throw away lives, he saw no future and felt that dying here would be utterly worthless.
As for the headmaster’s so-called future when those extraterrestrial beings would rule this world, even making it stronger,
At first, he believed it.
But now, he was wavering severely, ready to crumble at any moment.
……
……
Inside the secret realm.
Liu Shunyi was guarding Zhao Gou.
However, while guarding, Liu Shunyi felt a headache coming on.
Because one gigantic name
Was almost filling up his Golden Scroll of Great Dao.
“Lord of Longevity Demon (Colorful Gold!)”
After this name appeared,
Aside from the golden name, all other names vanished.
The brilliance of that name completely absorbed the glow from all the others.
“Holy crap, how domineering! What’s up? Is nobody else qualified to be on the same list as you?”
Even though several red names disappeared,
This one colossal, shimmering name made Liu Shunyi instantaneously stop worrying.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Liu Shunyi felt something was off.
He noticed that beneath the Lord of Longevity Demon’s name, there was another line of names.
“The Hordes of Heavenly Demons One (Black Gold.)”
That’s not the kicker.
The kicker was that
This small line of names was flashing.
“Boom~”
Suddenly,
Liu Shunyi saw a black mass of people rushing toward him.
And the aura they radiated
Seemed to be all Body Integration experts.
“Holy sh*t!”
Liu Shunyi gave Zhao Gou, who was still lost in thought, a hard smack.
“What the hell are you contemplating? Run, now!”
Zhao Gou woke up to the sight of a black mass of Body Integration experts.
He almost had a panic attack.
At that moment, Liu Shunyi ignited his Burning Blood Divine Fist to the max, combined with the horror of the electromagnetic divine power he had mastered, and the Exploding Step, grabbing Zhao Gou and blasted off.
At that moment, those 20,000 Body Integration experts were bewildered.
Because Liu Shunyi had vanished.
But Zhao Gou’s spiritual soul stood there dazed, clueless about these 20,000 Body Integration experts.
Not long after,
Zhao Gou felt a pull.
“Whoosh~”
Finally, it was as if something yanked at his soul, and he disappeared into the distance.
At that instant, Zhao Gou truly experienced what it felt like to have his body flying ahead while his spirit lagged behind.
“Chase, chase that spiritual soul, and we’ll definitely find out where they went!”
But as they chased,
Those Body Integration experts found themselves perplexed.
Because the more they chased, the more exhausted they became.
Not only were their bodies tired, but they felt their vitality slowly evaporating too.
“Wait, this secret realm is a bit strange!”
Those Body Integration experts quickly halted.
They felt that sensation of evaporating vitality still persisting.
It felt like being bitten by ants, continually bleeding.
But this prolonged loss of vitality made them feel increasingly weak.
They hastily meditated.
But while they focused,
Liu Shunyi had long since taken Zhao Gou and was long gone.
……
……
At that moment, in a dense forest.
Zhao Gou’s hair was all sticking out like a broomstick.
And Zhao Gou himself was still in shock.
Uncertain how much time passed,
Zhao Gou looked at Liu Shunyi, who was busy refining Blood Pills and Spiritual Soul Pills, and hesitantly asked,
“Just now, was my soul chasing my body?”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“I’ve never encountered anything like it before; it’s quite ludicrous!”
After saying that,
Liu Shunyi directly sent all the Spiritual Soul Pills and Blood Pills to Lin Wudao.
And Zhao Gou was left in silence.
Little master, this chapter isn’t over yet; please click the next page to continue reading; the latter part is even more thrilling!
After an indefinite period of silence,
Zhao Gou’s expression turned comical.
“Ever since I started following you, every day has been a thrill, good grief, what credentials do we, two Nascent Souls, have to attract the pursuit of over 20,000 Body Integration cultivators?”
“And as for Body Integration cultivators, I’ve been in the cultivation world for over 700 years and have seen fewer than ten of them. But ever since I followed you, now we have a whole freaking army of two thousand!”
“I’m truly seeing the sights!”
Zhao Gou went off on one of his rants.
Liu Shunyi felt equally helpless.
“I didn’t expect we could make so many Body Integration experts go after us!”
“But don’t worry, just a few Body Integrators—totally manageable!”
Looking at the Golden Scroll of Great Dao, Liu Shunyi was completely unfazed.
Zhao Gou couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
“Twenty thousand Body Integration cultivators? That’s manageable?”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“Manageable. When have I ever lied?”
Zhao Gou fell silent.
Because other than hiding his identity, Liu Shunyi had actually never lied.
But those were 20,000 Body Integration experts.
What concept was that?
Zhao Gou was still filled with concern.
Liu Shunyi patted Zhao Gou on the shoulder.
“Just relax, if I say manageable, then it is. If things go south, I’ll just call down the Heavenly Way!”
Just the thought of the Heavenly Way made Zhao Gou feel a lot more at ease.
Even though he didn’t know why, Liu Shunyi had a connection with the Heavenly Way,
But having the Heavenly Way as a backup really did feel more reliable than Liu Shunyi by himself.
What Zhao Gou didn’t know was that
The Heavenly Way had been blocked.
Starting from this moment,
The tiny fragment of will of the Heavenly Way awakened could not interfere in this realm anymore.
The Heavenly Way was like an ant on a hot pot,
Worried not about the influx of celestial demons into the Cave Heavens,
But more about Liu Shunyi secretly writing its name!
If the Heavenly Way didn’t keep an eye on Liu Shunyi for even a day, it wouldn’t be at ease.
Chapter 170: First, Breakthrough
Of course, all this was lost on Zhao Gou.
Liu Shunyi was naturally unaware of the Heavenly Way’s plight.
If he did know,
He would have undoubtedly wished to erase the Lord of Longevity Demon’s name and replace it with the Heavenly Way’s instead.
No matter how powerful the enemy was, could they ever be mightier than the Heavenly Way?
Definitely not.
If the Heavenly Way was on the Golden Scroll of Great Dao, Liu Shunyi would simply activate his invincible mode.
Even against the immortals up in the heavens, he wouldn’t bat an eyelash.
But right now, the Heavenly Way was also at a loss.
As the Heavenly Way,
It had already begun preaching.
The Heavenly Way diligently prayed to the Great Dao.
“Oh Great Dao, while I’m not around, could you keep an eye on that brat for me? I’m not asking for much. When he wants to write my name, could you kindly block it? Besides, I’m not this brat’s enemy, am I?”
……
……
At that moment, Zhao Gou was about to break.
The good news was, despite getting interrupted by Liu Shunyi, he had completed his spiritual power realization.
The bad news?
The new realization related a bit to healing but was mostly unrelated.
Because one of his techniques was called Malicious Injury.
Which meant anyone he attacked would be heavily injured and unable to heal.
The other was called Treasure Body Transformation.
Essentially, he could directly transform some treasures into human tissue.
This definitely had some relation to healing, but—
When he thought about how Liu Shunyi often “saved lives and healed the injured” with him,
And paired it with such techniques,
“Absolutely absurd!”
Zhao Gou sank to the ground, covering his face with his hands.
“Why am I, a healer, learning all these murder techniques?”
Zhao Gou just couldn’t figure it out.
At that moment, Liu Shunyi tried to comfort him.
“This is actually great. Your healing abilities are already very powerful, but just being great at healing isn’t enough. A doctor also needs some means of self-defense, right?”
“And think about it, you previously realized a condition-changing technique. But once you’re in Body Integration, who’s going to have any sickness in them? That’d just become useless. But now you have a technique that causes grievous injury and can’t be healed, paired with your condition-changing technique? You’ll be invincible!”
Zhao Gou felt a headache coming.
“Is that what a healer should be doing? How about I just change my name to ‘Doomed Physician’?”
Just as Liu Shunyi was about to say something,
He suddenly tensed up.
“Crap, these people are coming faster than expected!”
Then he yanked Zhao Gou and fled.
“Boom~”
Just then,
A formation suddenly enveloped the two.
A group of Body Integration experts encircled them.
Liu Shunyi took a deep breath.
“Crap, we can’t dodge this! You protect yourself!”
After saying that, Liu Shunyi handed over all his life-preserving items to Zhao Gou.
He even secretly stuffed several hundred souls into Zhao Gou’s body.
That was equivalent to having a bunch of revival tokens.
Zhao Gou was a bit confused.
“What about you? What are you going to do?”
Liu Shunyi grinned widely.
“No need to worry about me; just take care of yourself. Leave the rest to me!”
After that, Liu Shunyi pulled out the Qingping Sword.
Then he charged toward those Body Integration experts.
“Hmm? A mere Nascent Soul dares to take the initiative?”
Those Body Integration experts looked on in amusement.
Then one of the Body Integration experts raised a hand.
A massive spiritual power hand abruptly came crashing down.
“Boom~”
Liu Shunyi was slapped to the ground by the big hand.
Zhao Gou was furious inside.
“Idiot!”
At that moment, Zhao Gou also had the urge to rush forward.
But suddenly a voice came.
“Don’t move!”
Zhao Gou: “???”
Immediately after,
He saw a bare-chested Liu Shunyi,
Unscathed, soaring into the sky again.
“Boom~”
Liu Shunyi’s vital blood began burning fiercely.
At the same time, he ruthlessly consumed his lifespan and spiritual power, unleashing the Weeping Sword.
“Weng~”
As Liu Shunyi recklessly burned through his lifespan, soul, spiritual power, and vital blood,
That Qingping Sword, originally blue-white in color, turned black-red.
A massive sword beam formed a gigantic sword that soared into the air.
Holding the towering giant sword, Liu Shunyi swung it at that group of people.
“Boom boom boom…”
The black-red giant sword, as it swung, tore the space apart.
The Body Integration experts were also stunned.
“This sword actually has the power of Body Integration!”
The group of Body Integration experts looked shocked.
Then three of them launched an attack together.
They formed shields using their massive spiritual power.
But as Liu Shunyi’s sword came down,
They became even more dumbfounded.
Because they couldn’t stop it.
Their spiritual power dissipated.
No— simply put, their spiritual power vanished into thin air.
Their bodies felt weak, and they were overcome by an incredible sense of helplessness.
Under Liu Shunyi’s strike,
They turned into paper tigers.
“Puff puff puff…”
In one fell swoop,
The three were instantly severed.
“Boom~”
At that moment, Liu Shunyi’s aura climbed again.
In the blink of an eye, he reached Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
“What kind of monster is this?”
Those Body Integration experts were bewildered.
They had seen geniuses before.
But something like this, almost instantaneously from Nascent Soul Initial Stage to Nascent Soul Great Perfection, was downright shocking.
This chapter isn’t over yet; please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
However, even more terrifying,
Under full throttle, Liu Shunyi could burn even more of his soul, vital blood, lifespan, and spiritual power.
“Weng~”
Liu Shunyi flew higher once more.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
At this moment, countless strands of black Weeping Sword energy coalesced behind Liu Shunyi.
Then Liu Shunyi pointed his sword finger toward that group of Body Integration cultivators.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”
The black sword energy immediately slashed down.
It carried terrifying black thunder, amplifying the sword energy’s power by several times.
“Block it! Quick! Block… Puff~”
At that moment, those Body Integration cultivators grew increasingly frail.
Their breath grew shorter.
Then, dazed, they watched as the black sword energy came crashing down on them.
“Puff puff puff…”
While these Body Integration cultivators stood bewildered, they were turned into pincushions by the black sword energy.
Then everyone saw the black sword energy beginning to expand.
“Boom… Boom boom boom…”
A series of massive explosions rang out.
The entire Cave Heaven started shaking violently.
In this blow, nearly 3,000 Body Integration experts perished beneath Liu Shunyi’s burning everything and his sword.
Once the formation had completely failed,
Liu Shunyi quickly took Zhao Gou and ran again.
And till now, Zhao Gou still hadn’t recovered.
“Wait a minute, didn’t you say you could take these guys on?”
“Are we still running?”
Liu Shunyi was somewhat helpless at this moment.
“I can take them on—with conditions! But I see some are already starting to set up sealing formations!”
Zhao Gou numbly nodded.
But then he asked, “What do we do now? Just keep running?”
Liu Shunyi sighed.
“You’re kind of dragging me down here, plus these guys are quite irritating. Let’s first break through and get to Body Integration, then we can fight back! Once you achieve Body Integration, we’ll easily wipe them out!”
Zhao Gou: “!?!”
