Chapter 141 - Sun Of Lifeforce! (2/2)

This was why!

With a gaze filled with lifeforce energy, he took a step forward. His body and Ma Xiuren's form was still there. A beam of black energy penetrated their forms. However, only afterimages were left behind! This was an impossible phenomenon! This was an actual afterimage!

Normally, afterimages are produced by a lack of perceptual abilities in regards to those who view it, but this afterimage seemed to be space itself lagging behind! It felt like their actual bodies were still there!

”What?!” The old phantasm was shocked, but before he could even think of anything else. A large fist covered in white inscriptions barreled towards him with infinite momentum. This fist was Yan Zaizen's! He pushed forward with an indomitable momentum so fierce that his intent on smashing this phantasm to nothingness could be felt by the quivering of space itself!

If it was before, Yan Zaizen would find it impossible to harm a phantasm due to their lack of physical body. A normal fist would simply zoom through it like a shadow. It was this very reason that led to the old phantasm remaining unmoved, instead, he was filled with a boundless confidence at Yan Zaizen's actions. However, this fist was infused with the heavenly law of life. How could it not touch the heavenly law of soul?

After the punch failed, he intended to invade Yan Zaizen's soul and destroy it from the inside. Now that he no longer had that black shroud of protection, killing him would be a simple matter.

Unfortunately for him, the fist smashed heavily into his form with crushing force.

Before he could react, he dissipated into nothing. There was no grand explosion or cry out of regret and fear, but the purest eradication of its existence upon the slightest touch.

A phantasm could theoretically live forever, but if they're killed, they will die.

”He's dead.” Yan Zaizen said confidently. The moment his fist came into contact with the phantasm, he could feel his lifeforce energy smash it like a hammer towards a shell. He was thoroughly cracked into nothingness. The lifeforce signature that soul forms had, like Pinaka's, was no more.

The lifeforce energy converted back into his vital energy, but the leftover energy, they seeped into his cells, bones, muscles, and blood. In almost an instant, his body felt thoroughly refined by the lifeforce energy. This feeling felt remarkably similar to when he first discovered the Unyielding Flame of Life. When he was situated in Han Genji's cavern, he would inject his lifeforce infused qi into his body. It would enhance his body slightly and help heal any wounds sustained.

It truly felt good.

The Herculean Avatar Art ended.

”This platform was thoroughly hidden. Even I couldn't sense it!” Pinaka commented, her mind feeling odd at the situation.

”It's possible this was the sixth obstacle.” Yan Zaizen added his own suspicion, but he felt like that wasn't correct. He didn't know why, but he truly felt it wasn't true. He had the faint suspicions that this was the sixth floor. Perhaps it was a sub-dimension that was collapsed and connected to the fifth. With that, you could only enter the seventh floor from here, but with the concealed platform and guardian, you wouldn't be able to do so.

”...” Ma Xiuren didn't say anything, but she was also having such thoughts.

”I want you to understand that there's likely an even greater danger lying ahead. It's possible...your Xiantu Emperor made a mistake. There could be something incredibly dangerous here.” Pinaka warned.

”...” He didn't immediately respond. Earlier, he had to protect Ma Xiuren with his life essentially. If there's even greater danger ahead, it's likely she could lose her life even with his help. However, his inner curiosity was piqued! If this was the sixth obstacle or not, whatever beyond this spatial platform must've been worthy to protect. He had to venture onwards.

The only reason he decided to do so was the spatial compass! He had a way out. How could he be scared?!

Looking at Ma Xiuren, ”Will you go back?” His question was only to make sure she understood that going forward could lead to death and no benefits. If she decided to continue, she must understand the consequences. If there was a point of certain death, he would choose to survive - even if it was by himself. However, he had an idea that may work if the situation allows it. Storing her in his Meteor Ring may expose some of his secrets, but at least she'll be safe.

”...” She didn't say a word but glanced briefly at Yan Zaizen. Softly shaking her head in response, she took a step towards the spatial platform.

Yan Zaizen saw this and chuckled. This girl was as adventurous as he was! ”Fine then! Let's go!” With that, he stepped into the spatial platform with Ma Xiuren. A silver flash of light later…

They vanished!
