1215 Fascinating Nine Illusory Quicksand! (1/2)

So after drifting around for a few days, Zhan Kuang finally could not hold on any longer. Either his spirit dissipated, or he took that last step! And this was still with Zhan Kuang's foundations being so strong! If he wasn't stranded in this place where the heat and humidity were so terrible, with the strength of his soul, it wouldn't be a problem for him to endure for 10,000 li, finding a human to possess.

However, there were only volcanoes all around him, and the temperature was high to a shocking amount. Even in places where the volcanoes had not erupted, the ground was still so hot that one could cook an egg on the stones within a few blinks of the eye.

Souls could endure all kinds of cold without much adverse effects. However, they could not stand this kind of extreme high temperatures! Furthermore, the air was poisonous, slowly corroding his soul…

And so, Zhan Kuang discovered to his horror, that there was no possibility of him walking out of this place.

Left with no choice, the desperate Zhan Kuang finally reached into the space within his soul and took out the Nine Illusory Quicksand that he'd obtained with great efforts. Then, after nearly exhausting all his remaining soul energy, he made a human shaped figure and jumped into the body. After that, he spent another two days and two nights merging his soul with it, finally managing to succeed.

However, the results of that fusing caused Zhan Kuang to directly crumble with grief!

There was no way that he wouldn't crumble!

This body could grudgingly be considered human shaped, but the head was nothing but an empty decoration. There was no face, no nose, no mouth, no eyes, and no ears. In any case, there was nothing on his head at all… what the hell was this?

As for the more intricate things like the five viscera and six bowels, the complex meridians of the human body, and the most important sexual organ for a man… all of that was absent as well!

In that case, could his body, still be called a body?

Can he still be considered a human?!

In that moment of despair, Zhan Kuang hurriedly came up with a solution. This was not a completely hopeless situation. What he lacked right now were the most intricate features of a human body, and those naturally needed a long time to create. If he wanted to forcefully have these things, he would need to have a large supply of essence blood. Then, with some dark techniques, he could still grow those features.

What he lacked the most right now was humans: huge amounts of humans!

The problem was that this entire area of 10,000 li had already turned into a land of desolation. How many living beings would there be in this place for him to absorb their life's essence?

If he exceeded a certain time limit, and the Nine Illusory Quicksand's cast became fixed, he would remain in this form forever! How could the proud and self centered Zhan Kuang bear this?

Left with no other choice, he began to feed on corpses, forcefully holding back the disgust in his heart. Although this body didn't have such reflexes, his soul had already become used to this kind of feeling after so many years. How could it be something that is easy to change?

Moreover, this was still the putrid and rotting wild beast corpses that had been barbequed by the intense heat…

Just as Zhan Kuang finished steeling his heart and forced himself to feed on those two indescribably disgusting wild beast corpses, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master suddenly showed up.

Seeing such a sight, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master jumped with shock, cursed at him for being a disgusting monster, and began to attack him.

Zhan Kuang happened to be in an exceedingly frustrated moment of his life, and getting suddenly attacked without provocation, his rage rose to the heavens as well. Without a second word, the two began their long and fierce battle.

After fighting for so many days, he was truthfully still rather confused as to what was going on. Although Zhan Kuang had managed to infer that his attacker was the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master based on the techniques that the other was using, he still didn't know why that fellow was attacking him.

Even if I look a little disgusting right now, you shouldn't kill me just because of that, right? How have I offended you?! F*ck, is being ugly a crime too?

You think I want to look this way?

Even more depressing was that if he was in his peak state, his strength would definitely be higher than the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master's, by quite a bit as well! Although he wouldn't be able to do much to the latter, he still wouldn't be chased around and beaten like a dog! He would be able to fight and leave as he wished!

But right now, he was being suppressed so badly that he didn't have the ability to fight back. Furthermore, every once in a while, he would have his body destroyed and scattered. If not for the unique indestructible qualities of the Nine Illusory Quicksand, he would have already died long ago…

As for the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master who had the advantage all along, he was similarly depressed as well.

This was originally just a minor task in his mind, and he planned to finish off this monster in a short time, make his way to the battlefield and enjoy the exciting fight while sitting atop a mountain, drinking wine and playing a little tune. If he felt like it, he could go down and join in for the fun…

According to his logic, how much strength could a random monster he met on the way be? The number of monsters he'd slayed in passing throughout his life was so much that they could be counted…

Who would have thought that this monster was so weird. It was one thing for it to have great battling strength, but it actually couldn't be killed. Until finally, even a strong willed person like him was nearly at his limits.

Reforming after being broken, without losing even a bit of strength…

Truthfully, even Zhan Kuang did not know that the Nine Illusory Quicksand had such amazing qualities as well. The first time his body was destroyed, he thought that everything was over this time. Even he hadn't expected that he would actually revive again…

After suffering through so many depressing situations, only this point gave Zhan Kuang a pleasant surprise and some comfort. Perhaps, he would be truly invincible from now on!

However, to live forever in this form was still too uncomfortable. If the most basic function of a man was lost, it would be a wonder if he could feel comfortable!
