Book 6, Chapter 121: Life and Death

When Menelaus saw that only a thousand of the Boundless Sect’s disciples were attacking, he felt incredibly disappointed

But once he saw Su Chen personally arrive on the scene, a trace of hope eed in Menelaus’s heart

If he killed Su Chen, that would be fareven ten thousand Boundless Sect disciples

“Change targets to Su Chen!” Menelaus immediately commanded

The consciousness extraction instrument was quickly adjusted to face towards Su Chen

Norht about a foot in diameter With the sacrifice of countless Astrals, however, that light circle began to widen considerably

And following Menelaus’s coht circle was shi+fted onto Su Chen’s position

Su Chen suddenly felt an incredible sense of iazed at by soly powerful creature Goosebumps ran down his arms as all his hairs stood on end

Su Chen, however, did not retreat Instead, he unhesitatingly pulled out an item and tossed it into the air

This item was a stone tablet, and the saed Canyon It was iy

This itee of Heaven’s Blood After all, it was an incredibly powerful defensive item that could erect spatial barriers

Afterwards, Su Chen had instructed his subordinates to refine it into a personal protective ite techniques his enemies threw at hi to personally descend even though he knew just how risky this was If he personally showed up, then the Astrals would undoubtedly focus on killing him instead of the other Boundless Sect disciples, whom he viewed as dearly as his own children If it were possible, then he would not let even a single one of theht that their final sacrificial killing technique was going to be Heaven’s Blood But this was aof the technique

Even though Heaven’s Blood was incredibly powerful, it had a glaring limitation: it could only be activated in an isolated void This hy the Astrals had been able to activate it at the Daed Canyon with relatively few sacrifices

Even though the Wanlai Caves were underground and surrounded by Origin-Energy isolating earth, they were not cut off froed to the Prie of a realm would be impossible even if all of the Astrals sacrificed themselves

As such, in some sense, Heaven’s Blood was also a failed product that would never see the light of day

As soon as Su Chen pulled out the stone tablet, he felt a frighteningly powerful force envelop hile muscle

But unlike the absolute, destructive, overbearing power of Heaven’s Blood, this force feltdirectly exerted on his body

An ineffable sensation began to per at hi his body beyond its lily, he was incapable of withstanding it in the slightest

This What was happening?

Su Chen felt as if he was about to break apart into a million pieces, but his body was still completely unscathed

This tor froood!

He suddenly realized what had happened

The consciousness extraction instrument!

The Astrals had actually used the consciousness extraction instru creature had ever ed to persist after their physical body was converted into a consciousness one This instrument had solely been used to create Astrals, but now, the Astrals were turning around and using it on him

More importantly, the stone tablet’s spatial defenses were completely useless in this instance

damn!

Su Chen cursed bitterly in his heart

He knew that he needed to act quickly Otherwise, once the consciousness extraction instrument completely converted his physical body into a consciousness one, he would truly die

“RAH!”

Su Chen roared violently

On the surface, his Adam’s apple urgled out from his throat In the consciousness realed forwards

Su Chen was beginning to lose control of his physical body, but the strength of his consciousness was rising exponentially as it began to crystallize

“Trying to turn rit his teeth

He turned to stare at the Astrals below hi one by one as they faded into ashes, chanting as they did so

Beside those Astrals was a ht

That was probably the consciousness extraction instrument

The consciousness extraction instrument was incredibly powerful, to the point where Su Chen wasn’t able to withstand its influence at all However, it also had its oeakness, which was that the conversion process took tiave Su Chen a sliver of an opportunity to survive

He knew that he didn’t haveto fored out of his body

And Su Chen’s vitality was beginning to drain away at the same time

First, it left his feet, then his calves, and then his thighs as it continued to spread up towards his head

If it reached his head, then all of his vitality would have been completely drained away, and Su Chen’s body would actually have died, only leaving behind an Astral body

This consciousness body would not exist for very long, and would likely disappear as soon as the consciousness extraction instrument was shut down

This was because h consciousness power and were unable to endure the harsh environment around them without the protection of a physical body

Su Chen, however, was different His consciousness power had reached levels previously thought unattainable by any human, so there was a possibility that his consciousness body could persist

Even so, Su Chen had no desire to become an Astral body

“I alared at the ground with an unshakeable will

He refused to becoe creature that walked the line between life and death, and he refused to give up on his huled, his consciousness continued to peel away fro

“Die!” Menelaus raised his tricolor gey into the consciousness extraction instrument to hasten its activation He could sense that his fellow Astrals’ lives were being snuffed out one by one, but only by destroying this fearsome opponent could the other Astrals even have a chance of survival

Die and become one of us!

Countless Astrals siefully at this moment

They could sense Su Chen’s powerful consciousness, and they seemed to realize that it was possible that he could successfully convert and become an Astral body However, they did not seehtest; instead, their exciteed as they willed the consciousness extraction instrument to work even more quickly
