Book 6, Chapter 121: Life and Death (2/2)
Su Chen’s consciousness body was still rising into the air, and the decay had already reached his chest
Fro to Su Chen The Boundless Sect’s disciples only thought that he had stopped to take a look at so
Su Chen’s consciousness roared and thrashed in refusal, but all he could do was create wave after wave in the consciousness plane, which were all stopped by the Astrals’ combined consciousnesses And only the Astrals could sense his struggles; no one else had any clue as to as happening
Perhaps this would bring any other creature great sorrow, but it was a e!
Revenge!
Revenge!
The countless Astrals all cried out fervidly In that iven way to raw, unadulterated emotion
“Die! Convert! Become one of us Astrals!” Menelaus roared with irrepressible excitement
The decay eventually reached his neck
Su Chen’s face slowly stiffened
He was like a statue, standing motionlessly in the air
The decay continued to rise
It consumed his mouth, his nose, his eyes, and then, in the final moments, his scalp
Su Chen’s consciousness had been completely stripped from his body!!!
“Conversion complete!” Menelaus hoith ecstatic joy as the consciousness extraction instru its job
As the white light dissipated, it became evident that thousands of Astrals had sacrificed themself in the process, all of it in the na Su Chen to an Astral body
Even so, this price was coet rid of Su Chen
Su Chen’s consciousness body was also floating in the sky now
However, it was invisible
The huers could not see hi sun in the dark night
Menelaus was not surprised that Su Chen’s consciousness body was persisting even after the consciousness conversion instrument shut down
Consciousness poas key to the conversion process The Astrals had led to raise the consciousness power of the other races to the appropriate level And because they were isolated fro nor capable of breeding subjects for consciousness conversion
However, they had ed to successfully convert a select few individuals fro in a few special Astrals that could be deployed on the battlefield
Those strange Astrals hadwith all of the other failed products earlier, but unfortunately, these coy summoned by tens of thousands of cultivators
Menelaus, however, believed that Su Chen’s consciousness body would be different
“You are going to become my most prized possession, the new Immortal’s Soul!” Menelaus declared excitedly
Su Chen’s death would definitely throw his enemies into turmoil The threat to the Astrals had been dealt with!
This new consciousness body would take tinored it for the mogling, foolish mortals! Your leader is dead! Your fate has been sealed!”
Menelaus’s voice spread in all directions throughout the battlefield All of the huers who heard it were immediately taken aback
What?
Their leader was dead?
Then what about the Su Chen standing in the sky? Wasn’t he still floating up there?
Hoas he dead?
Were the Astrals insane?
The attacks only paused for a brief
It was obvious that they had all treated Menelaus’s words as a lie
“Well, it’s no matter either way,” Menelaus muttered to himself
Since they refused to believe hiive theem staff in his hands and aimed it at the physical Su Chen in the sky
The physical body was already dead, but even without its vitality, it surprisingly rehtly suspicious
However, all Menelaus thought was that this was so that Su Chen had prepared, or the effect of so of it
But when the tricolored gein to burn, he began to realize that so was off
Menelaus was obviously taken aback He raised his tricolor gem staff and pointed it at Su Chen’s body for a second time “Burn!”
This time, there was finally a reaction
At the center of Su Chen’s corpse, a solid red light began to flicker like a lick of flah of relief
He didn’t like surprises, especially not at such critical junctures
But even though the small flame flickered and burned, it did not expand to consume the corpse nearly as quickly as Menelaus expected Instead, it spread relatively slowly and gradually
Even ly, as this lick of flaain its vitality
At the same time, Su Chen, who should have been stripped from his physical body, slowly opened his eyes “So this is what death tastes like? The line between life and death contains erous I thank you, Menelaus, for givingan emperor”
As Su Chen spoke, the flame in the center of his physical body burst forth as it flew into the heavens
A strange cloud suddenly for with the physical body below
“Receiving Heaven?” Menelaus cried out in shock “Ultimate Emperor Realm!?”
