Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 658 A Colossal Creature in the Starry Sky, the Giant Python of the Stars! (Two Chapters Combined)

Based on some memories he had recovered in the past, it seemed that he had spent quite a long time on the primordial continent that Song Changming was going to.

Only later did they arrive at this small world with several masters of the witch clan.

He couldn't make sense of the cause and effect, and he couldn't even recall any memories related to that ancient primordial continent.

I vaguely remember that there was an abundance of everything there: a great many powerful creatures, and so many suns, moons, and stars that they filled the sky.
"Really... is it possible to find the way back?" Yuan San murmured to himself.

Suddenly, he touched the umbrella-shaped purple mark on his forehead again.

Who was my previous owner?
Is he still alive?
If I were to die, why didn't my Binding God Seal take me with me?
Or perhaps, I've always only had one master.
Yuan San's soul fire pulsed more and more intensely, causing a look of pain to appear on his face.

The more he pondered and delved into his past memories, the more the stinging pain would surge forth like a tide, as if warning him to stop thinking about them.

Yuan San immediately stopped his wild thoughts.

"I should continue to restore my original strength; that is my true essence."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Song Changming, who had already stepped into the teleportation portal, was experiencing a spatial tunnel that seemed to have no end in sight.

This spatial tunnel was far less stable than the spatial tunnels he had stepped into before; if he had to describe it, it would be like a drafty passageway.

Countless spatial gusts and turbulent energy currents surged into the tunnel, sweeping over his body.

If his physical body hadn't been strong enough to withstand the erosion of these turbulent currents and gales, it would have been enough to scrape away the flesh and blood of an ordinary living being to the point of being reduced to nothingness in just a short while.

Numerous distorted, flowing light spots dazzled the eye; their colors and orientations were indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Sometimes you feel like you're moving forward, sometimes you feel like you're moving backward at high speed, and sometimes you're turning left and right, spinning in place, which makes you dizzy.

Fortunately, Song Changming possessed a pair of spatial eyes, so he wasn't at a loss in this situation.

His soul remained firmly locked onto that spatial location, and he could feel himself gradually approaching that locked space.

The precious mirror in his hand was like a stabilizing force, ensuring that he would not be completely lost in this chaotic spatial phenomenon.

Time seemed to stand still in this mysterious space.

I don't know how much time passed; perhaps two or three days, or maybe four or five months, or even six or seven years.
This feeling was incredibly subtle, something Song Changming had never experienced before.

A piercing buzzing sound surrounded him, the sound of energy constantly being worn away and extinguished, forcefully filling his ears.

Song Changming was completely focused and dared not relax for a moment.

Throughout this entire spatial journey, he had to keep a firm grip on the spatial coordinates. If he relaxed his guard, even a fleeting thought could cause him to lose track of where he was.

The directional coordinates are of utmost importance and must not be lost!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

A huge explosion came from outside the spatial passage where he was.

His face turned deathly pale, his heart stopped, and even his soul was nearly shattered by the loud noise!

"what's the situation?!"

Song Changming took a breath and came to his senses, but his heart couldn't help but tighten even more.

This is his first time traversing between the two worlds, and he won't be surprised no matter what happens during the process.

However, the next moment, the entire space tunnel shook violently.

Using his spatial vision, Song Changming discovered that the passageway was no longer stable.

Before he could react, a beam of white light suddenly pierced through the tunnel, engulfing everything.

At the last moment before Song Changming lost consciousness, a prompt appeared.

[Today's Assessment: Facing death head-on, lifespan reduced by 36000, gained the limited-time status 'Rebirth'!]

[Rebirth: Washing away all negative states and gaining a new lease on life.]

[Note: You can choose to respawn on the spot or at your base.]

"Reborn on the spot".

Song Changming's voice was calm. Death was an outcome he could foresee. He had already prepared for the possibility of suddenly dying during the journey before he set off.

Over the course of a hundred years, while the rate of improvement in his cultivation strength has slowed down, his lifespan has maintained a consistent rate of increase.

There are now more than 500,000 life expectancies!

That translates to a lifespan of over 1,400 years!

This level of lifespan also gives him a great deal of room for trial and error.

I chose to be reborn on the spot so that I could see what that white light was; I couldn't have died in vain.

Flesh and blood were rebuilt, and the soul returned to its rightful place.

Inside that spatial passage, Song Changming's figure reappeared.

The white light had faded, but the spatial passage had not completely collapsed. In fact, thanks to the magic mirror, it was still repairing the newly broken passage's 'hole'.

Propelled by the power of the magic mirror, Song Changming swiftly passed by.

As Song Changming passed through the crack in the passage, he turned his head to the side, his spatial eyes gleaming brightly.

Through the turbulent spatial currents and the many distorted, colorful lights, he caught a glimpse of the scene outside the passage and that seemingly distant white light!
Beyond the spatial passage lies what appears to be the starry universe, filled with utterly desolate darkness.

As for the departing white light, Song Changming also saw some of its essence with his spatial eye.

What was initially thought to be a comet that happened to hit the ground was actually a celestial being!
Song Changming only saw a fleeting glimpse of the back; the part of the body enveloped in white light was incredibly enormous.

It has four limbs with huge claws, a thick tail, and its entire body is covered with a layer of keratin that resembles both mountain rock and iron stone.

At first glance, it does look somewhat like a dinosaur.

It has no wings, yet it can fly at high speed in the darkness of the universe.

It was as if the shattering of Song Changming and this spatial passage was merely an unintentional act by this cosmic creature that happened to be passing by.

"Then, what exactly is it?"

Song Changming was shaken. He was also traveling through space at supersonic speed under the effect of the magic mirror, just "brushing past" that starry object. Then, the next second, they both disappeared and he could no longer sense the other party.

However, the image of that giant beast lingered in Song Changming's mind.

Despite his immense physical strength, the other party managed to kill him without him even noticing, as easily as stepping on an ant, without even attracting the other party's attention for a moment.

He never expected to encounter other living, unknown beings so soon in the starry sky!
He never expected his opponent to be so powerful; he was completely powerless against him!

"Is this the world outside of Kyushu?" Song Changming thought to himself.

He suddenly thought of the Star-Devouring Dragon in Kyushu, which he had killed.

According to the other party, it was also a creature of the starry sky, fond of devouring stars and skilled at refining the power of the starry sky and the Milky Way.

If the opponent were at its peak, I wonder if it would be as powerful as this giant beast we just saw!

"Thanks to the treasure mirror, this spatial passage can be repaired, otherwise this trip would have been over," Song Changming thought to himself.

He had traveled throughout the Nine Provinces before, and had never encountered such a colossal beast blocking his path. This experience had truly broadened his horizons. Having lost his life, he continued on his journey.

This time, Song Changming not only locked onto the location coordinates, but also subconsciously paid attention to the tangible light walls on all four sides of the spatial passage.

Although with the speed at which that cosmic beast flew, he probably wouldn't have had time to dodge even if he wanted to, his survival instinct still made him take subconscious self-preservation actions.

"I wonder how many of those celestial beings there are."

They traveled through countless days and nights without encountering any more celestial beasts, but the spatial passage would occasionally experience disordered tremors.

It was either a sudden intensification of spatial gales that tore space apart, or a sudden surge of energy turbulence that unleashed a dark storm.

Fortunately, these only caused minor cracks in the spatial passage and did not completely collapse.

Song Changming was either lucky or not, but he did not lose his life again.

The locked coordinates were getting closer and closer until one moment he felt the time was right, and full of anticipation, he opened the portal and jumped out.

[Today's Assessment: Facing death head-on, lifespan reduced by 36000, gained the limited-time status 'Rebirth'!]

Beyond the spatial passage lies a boundless expanse of spatial gales, beyond which lies endless nothingness.

He felt as if he had fallen into a hidden space.

Under the raging, bone-chilling wind, Song Changming only lasted a few seconds before facing death once again.

Having been reborn and returned to the spatial passage, Song Changming's expression was not good.

The location of this space that he spent a century trying to pinpoint was still not accurate enough.

A slight deviation can lead to vastly different outcomes.

Right now, if he wants to find the original continent again, he needs to correct the locked location.

Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be too far from the original continent now, and when he tries to sense the faint light connection within his body again, it has become clearer and more distinct.

After expending a large amount of soul power, Song Changming locked onto a more likely location, opened the portal, and jumped inside.

[Today's Assessment: Facing death head-on, lifespan reduced by 36000, gained the limited-time status 'Rebirth'!]

Another one died.
Upon seeing the familiar words, Song Changming felt a headache coming on.

I thought this time it was a sure thing, but I never expected that after jumping out, I would fall into some blazing star.

A strange, cosmic fire nearly burned him to ashes.

Fortunately, he possessed the Fire Elemental Spirit Body, which made him impervious to all fires, allowing him to barely survive the flames.

His death this time was not caused by fire, but by a terrifying behemoth that was lurking on that star.

The colossal creature resembled a python, its body so large that it coiled around the entire star!

This terrifying and horrifying scene, which was so suffocating, also greatly shocked Song Changming.

It turns out that there are such enormous creatures in the world.
In comparison, the Star-Devouring Dragon, which was said to be 48,000 miles long, became an insignificant worm in front of this behemoth.

"The universe is so terrifying." Song Changming held his breath, gradually calming his mind, and decisively searched for new coordinates in the universe again.

Death was not frightening to him, but he feared that he would die before he could reach that primordial continent.

He set a condition for himself: he could die a maximum of seven more lives.

If he cannot find the primordial continent even after dying ten times, he will be resurrected and return to Kyushu, choosing a new opportunity.

After locking onto the location once again, Song Changming rode the magic mirror forward.

Fortunately, the giant python that had been luring the stars did not cause Song Changming any more trouble after it had eaten its fill.

After traveling for a while, crossing countless billions of miles of space, they finally arrived at their destination.

The journey was relatively smooth, without any unexpected incidents.

Looking at the light gate that had opened before him, Song Changming gripped the magic mirror tightly in his hand and pursed his lips.

Having encountered the terrifying starry sky three times in succession, he developed a certain aversion to this portal of light.

The portal was like a portal to death.

He had never encountered such a perilous situation in Kyushu, yet in this starry sky he was like a headless fly, wandering aimlessly, seeking death.

The true picture of the world can only be seen by going out into the world.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. At worst, I'll just die again!" Song Changming said resolutely, then stepped inside.

As the spatial turbulence subsided, the dazzling light and color also faded rapidly before our eyes.

A sudden feeling of weightlessness washed over Song Changming, and he realized he was falling rapidly.

It was dark all around, but a strong wind was blowing in my face.

This wind is not like the spatial gale that scrapes bones and cuts flesh, but a natural wind with spiritual power!

He subconsciously took a deep breath, and the slightly damp air filled his mouth and nose, making him overjoyed.

"Could it be that we've finally arrived at our destination?"

Song Changming shuddered, releasing his Grandmaster-level power in an attempt to stop his fall and float into the air.

However, he was enveloped by a super gravity, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and he was unable to lift himself into the air.

Seeing this, Song Changming's body erupted with lightning and fire as he tried again to steady himself.

But it was all in vain. The gravity was beyond imagination, and even with all his might, he could only slightly counteract the downward force, slowing his fall a little.

In just a few seconds, a loud bang was heard as he crashed into solid ground.

My head was buzzing, and every piece of flesh and bone in my body was in excruciating pain, with my internal organs feeling displaced and damaged.

A sweet taste came from his throat, and he vomited two large mouthfuls of blood.

For him, that blow was truly a serious injury.

In the past, if someone in Kyushu said that the current Emperor Wu would one day fall to his death, probably no one would believe it. But now, Song Changming himself believes it.

He almost really died from the fall!
"Without this physique of a Witch King, I'm afraid I would have lost my life again," Song Changming thought to himself.

A quick scan of his own condition revealed that the fall had left him severely injured and unable to move.

Fortunately, he has extremely strong self-healing ability. He not only has the indestructible body of a dragon, but also the orange-level Heavenly Wood Spirit Body.

Both of these physical characteristics possess exceptional self-healing abilities.

This prevented him from lying on the ground, seriously injured and dying.

The added gravity on his body remained, which was one of the reasons why he was unable to move at the moment.

Since he couldn't move, he immediately spread his senses, scanning his surroundings. He had to make sure he was safe enough in this unfamiliar place.

The surroundings were dim, but not nearly as desolate and terrifying as the darkness of the universe; in fact, it gave Song Changming a strange sense of peace.

Even though I was seriously injured, the feeling of landing was, damn, really good.
