Chapter 60 (1/2)

Eternal Life (永生) Ch. 60

Shura Bodyguard

For the universe to allow these things to live, there will always be its reasons. Perhaps it is to urge the growth of other creatures, ah. Without pressure for survival, there wouldn’t have been the creation of the ‘Immortal Path’. Legend has it that in the most ancient times, during the age of primitiveness, the conflicts between the humans and vicious beasts created martial arts, the one with ‘Heavenly Devils’ created ‘Divine Will’.

Yan laughed, Hei hei. Let’s not talk too much. Since your spirit has recovered, let us continue moving forward and execute a few more ‘Heavenly Devils’ to further sharpen your spirit.

Yes! Go!

Fang Han’s confidence had risen a hundred times.

At a breakneck pace, he moved through the desolate shattered rocks and potholes. Fang Han didn’t waste much energy. Encountering stone peaks the height of several people, he jumped over them in one go. Encountering fissures that were tens of steps across, he just rushed over them. This was his ‘Extreme Speed’ technique.

Currently, his jumping ability, running ability, explosive ability, and endurance had all surpa.s.sed that of ordinary people by vast amounts. What ordinary people regarded as a difficult to travel region, he traveled smoothly over. With just a leap, he could travel forty to fifty steps. With just a jump, he could jump a height of several people. Moreover, he did it continuously, without a rest. His physicalness was extremely profound. Traversing across this desolate, deserted star, he felt a kind of comfort from being able to release his wild nature.

Eh? Why is there wind in front of us? I felt an enormous roiling of the air current, could it be a tornado?

On one hand he ran and leaped at breakneck speeds to exercise his body. On the other hand, Fang Han was using his eyes to observe all directions, even occasionally looking at the ground to see if there were any ‘Heavenly Materials’. At this moment, somewhere far in front of him, it suddenly seemed to turn dusky.

The storms atop the ‘Outer s.p.a.ce Star’ are extremely intense. Even rocks weighing as much as several thousand jin can be blown up into the sky and fly wildly. If you encounter this kind of winds, it would be best if you hid within some stone peak, said Yan casually. However, he continued afterwards saying, Not good, that isn’t a storm, that is a group of ‘Heavenly Devils’! Oh no! Why would there be this many ‘Heavenly Devils’! Hurry! Hurry and hide. Against this many ‘Heavenly Devils’, no matter your skill, you will be shredded to pieces!

Those are ‘Heavenly Devils’ within that wind?

Fang Han was shocked. In the time that they conversed, the wind in the distance that was heading over became larger and larger. It gusted to the point that his magic clothes began making the sounds of a flag flapping. A sandstorm filled the sky. Every breath resulted in his mouth and nose being filled with grit. Especially from amongst the center of the sandstorm, a dark, yin taste and a bone piercing cold qi emanated out. There was also a fishy smell. It was indeed ‘Devil Qi’, demonstrating that this was indeed not a normal storm!

“Dust Avoidance Talisman!”

A stream of crystalline water appeared, surround Fang Han’s entire body. Immediately, within a half chi radius of his body, the dust and grit completely fell to the ground. This was one of the talismans which the school had given him. Fang Han now understood the benefits of the ‘Dust Avoidance Talisman’. If not for it, he would have been buried by the sand.

You need to hurry and bring in your aura of vitality and find a fissure to hide in. You must dodge this large army of ‘Heavenly Devils’. My dear, there are full tens of thousands of ‘Heavenly Devils’ here. This many ‘Heavenly Devils’ are enough to attack some smaller ‘Immortal Path’ schools. Some small schools only have one or two ‘Divine Realm’ cultivators, they would be directly devoured by the ‘Heavenly Devils’.

Tens of thousands of ‘Heavenly Devils’ were enough to even swallow Yan.

Under the skies, other than the ‘Ten Great Immortal Path Schools’, there were other smaller schools. They were also erected by ‘Divine Realm’ cultivators. The young master of the Bu’ye Island which Fang Han had hit, his father, that is the master of Bu’ye Island, was a ‘Divine Realm’ cultivator. However, there wasn’t much difference between him and Jin s.h.i.+ Tai. Thus, his school was extremely small. Basically, after two or three hundred years, whenever this island master’s life expectancy dried up and he died, the school would cease to exist.

These kinds of small school were called ‘Loose Cultivation Schools’. ‘Loose Cultivation Schools’ didn’t have a single ‘Longevity Realm’ cultivator, otherwise they would become a ‘Greater School’.

Close the apertures, hold the breath, bring in the spirit, retract the aura!

Fang Han, reaching a suitable area, didn’t dare to be slow. Upon seeing a ma.s.sive fissure, he immediately flew into it, moving ten times more agilely than apes and monkeys. His body contracted, a flip, a crawl, ‘xi xi suo suo, chi liu’ and his body, like a smoke mouse, burrowed into the depths of the fissure. If this scene was seen by an ordinary person, they would all be astonished and said, “This giant mouse has gained enlightenment.”

He hid in the fissure, using the underground rocks to hide his body. Fang Han closed off all of his body’s apertures, making sure not to leak the slightest bit of Qi. He also began taking extremely long, drawn out, subtle breaths. His spirit retracted further inward. Within his mind, it condensed into a bright ball of light.

This was the results of his most recent cultivation training. If he closed his apertures, not the slightest bit of aura would leak out. Thus, as he hid, he seemed just like a rock. Not even a dog would be able to sniff him out.

To be undetectable by a dog, this was an important milestone in regard to controlling the physique granted by the ‘G.o.dly Transformation’ stage.

Such a kind of qi lock, ‘Heavenly Devils’ naturally wouldn’t be able to sense it. This way, he could avoid the catastrophe.

Fang Han could only hear the sound of rumbling above him, as if it was violently thundering, or as if a giant army was marching. Giant stones unceasingly fell from above. Luckily, the place he hid was a cavern which recessed inwards, making it so that the stones couldn’t smash onto his body. Otherwise, if he had to dodge those stones, he would definitely leak his aura, and the consequences would be disastrous. He and Yan would definitely be eaten.

According to reason, there is no way the ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’ should have this many ‘Heavenly Devils’! Otherwise, all of the testing inner court disciples would all die. Even true disciples, when facing so many ‘Heavenly Devils’, would lose at least a few. Unless there has been a change?

While he laid still, Fang Han pondered within his mind.

After a long while, Fang Han felt the chilliness aboveground slowly disappear. Only then did he release his aura. Like a centipede fleeing upstream, he rushed to the surface. The desolate ground had become a giant mess. Many of the extremely tall stone peaks had been broken.

Suddenly, a yin qi once again emanated over.
