Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 751 The Spirit Jade (Part 8)

"Frost stains the mortal world, white bones know no sorrow..." Fan Hongchou seemed to be in deep meditation, his eyes tightly closed, and a sharp and piercing aura gradually emerged from his body.

Two eerie green lights slowly emerged from his eye sockets, swirling and flying around Han Yi like will-o'-the-wisps.

Countless sharp bones spontaneously began to change direction, their pointed ends steadily aiming at Han Yi's entire body.

"..."

An extreme sense of impending danger, a kind of panic that only arises when facing a life-or-death crisis, is constantly aroused.

Han Yi had a premonition.

We can't stop them. We'll die!!!

An unimaginable, immense power was lurking within Fan Hongchou.

He could clearly feel that every muscle, blood cell, and even every hair in his body was struggling desperately to break free.

However, there's no way to break free.

The surrounding air seemed frozen, like solid mountain walls, encasing him within.

'Then...we'll have to resort to this last resort...'

Han Yi's mind stirred, his eyelids trembled slightly, and his fingers bent slightly.

"Bone..." Fan Hongchou suddenly opened his eyes, roared to the sky, and uttered a single word.

"Spirit Jade!"

Just then, a sharp female voice suddenly appeared, somewhat hysterical, somewhat desperate.

"...Prison!!!" Fan Hongchou's words fell at the same time.

boom! ! !

A blinding white ball of light tore through the darkness of the mountain forest, surging like a vast white tide, easily sweeping away the night.

Swish, swish, swish...

Countless bones grew and spread rapidly, resembling a dense array of spears. Above and below, in the air and in the soil, it was as if a forest of ghastly white bones had sprung up.

The white light collided with the bone forest.

Chi! !

In an instant, the white light rapidly condensed and contracted, transforming into a gigantic bead shimmering with white light. The bead was enormous, its diameter alone exceeding ten meters. Within it, the figure of a woman with a holy face glowed, appearing and disappearing in a halo. Boom!!!

The bead suddenly exploded, and a thick beam of light shot straight into the sky.

The night was instantly torn apart.

The dark clouds completely dispersed, revealing a bright, dark blue sky.

The soft moonlight slowly shone down, turning the entire area of ​​Black Miasma Mountain into a silvery white.

hiss hiss hiss...

The torrent of white light was like an incredibly sharp knife, and the bone forest was shaved and annihilated layer by layer under the impact of the light beam.

The very center of the bone forest is where Fan Hongchou and Han Yi are located.

boom! !

Suddenly, a blinding burst of light exploded between heaven and earth. The brief surge of lumens eclipsed everything else, as if a small sun had ignited on the ground, suppressing all other light. Firelight, starlight, moonlight, and glittering neon lights paled in comparison.

The light lasted only a moment before the entire mountain forest was plunged into darkness once more.

"Is it... over...?"

Tantai Xunzhen leaned on a tree branch as a cane, but his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground.

Everything before my eyes was completely annihilated and disappeared.

The huge crater formed during the battle has disappeared.

Because of the impact of the divine weapon, an even larger and more massive crater appeared.

The aftershocks affected at least several hundred meters of forest.

The ground was charred black; everything had been reduced to pure black ashes.

Under the onslaught of the white light, the entire mountain forest was transformed into something as tender as tofu, with the soil being plowed back and forth again and again, pulverized into the finest particles, and slowly scattered.

Even the thick rock layers hidden deep underground are faintly visible.

As for the center of the attack by the Spirit Jade.

A pit as deep as a two-story building appeared deep in the mountains and forests.

At first glance, it looks like a deep, black well. Black smoke is slowly rising from it, and the embers are slowly sliding inward under the influence of gravity.

"..."

Silent.

Tantai Xunzhen silently watched the scene before him.

Heaven and earth seemed to fall silent.

Black smoke gathered, dark clouds gathered, and the silvery moonlight suddenly dimmed.

The mountains and forests returned to darkness. Only the ravaged, unrecognizable earth remained, looking down from the sky like a giant black tumor growing in the middle of the entire forest.

Such an ugly and disgusting sight seems unbearable even to the gods.

"I'm sorry..." Tantai Xunzhen rested for a while, struggled to get up, and slowly walked towards the middle.

"The Myriad Beasts Sect... I will support it... and restore it to its former glory as one of the five great powers of Yunzhou..."

She felt extremely guilty and remorseful.

If she could be even stronger, with a higher concentration of her bloodline, and a more perfect grasp of the Spirit Jade, her power could be more concentrated...

Perhaps then, the accidental injury wouldn't have happened.

With the Spirit Jade fully activated, at the center where its power was at its peak, she didn't believe anyone could survive.

Fan Hongchou died, and that was that. It was the purpose of the plan all along.

But Han Yi…

Even in that brief moment of outburst, she had already exerted all her strength to control the Spirit Jade, trying to avoid Han Yi and focus all her attention on Fan Hongchou…

But the sheer force of the aftershocks from such an explosion…

Tantai Xunzhen did not believe that Han Yi could survive.

She owed Han Yi a huge favor a long time ago and wanted to make it up to him through other means.

Before they could make amends, the debts of gratitude they owed grew ever larger.

Just this act of luring Fan Hongchou into the trap is equivalent to doing a huge favor.

only…...

People are gone.

Tantai Xunzhen could only try to compensate in other ways. "I heard that your Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has lost the core inheritance of the Seven Transformations of Heavenly Evolution Profound Technique... I... will find a way to resolve this. Also, Zhong Han, Hu Ping, and the others... are all closely related to you. If they are willing, I can take them with me."

Her voice was apologetic: "Take me to a safe place, a place where no danger exists..."

“If you have time to think about others… you should think about yourself first!” A harsh sound, like bones grinding, interrupted her soliloquy.

"You...you're still alive?!"

Upon hearing the sound, Tantai Xunzhen looked over and was startled; his face instantly turned grim.

It was a skeleton with only half a body remaining.

All four limbs had vanished, the entire lower body had disappeared, and the upper body, from the head to the neck, was completely carbonized and black.

Only two faint green lights flickered in the eye sockets.

This proved that Fan Hongchou still had a sliver of life left. "Yes, I'm still alive. But I'm about to die." His jaw opened and closed with a harsh, unpleasant grinding sound.

His vocal cords were gone, and he was made entirely of bone, so no one knew where his voice came from.

"As fellow bloodline members, you shouldn't be surprised by this. This is an irreversible change resulting from the extreme mutation of the bloodline."

Tantai Xunzhen fell silent.

Bloodline mutation represents the deep exploration of one's own bloodline potential, followed by a proactive choice of bloodline mutation direction based on one's own characteristics.

The higher the degree of bloodline mutation, the greater the change in strength, and the more potential can be tapped.

However, there is a limit to this.

The correct way to improve is to gradually increase the degree of mutation while increasing the bloodline concentration. Maintaining a balance between bloodline concentration and one's own degree of mutation is essential to preserving one's sanity.

Finally, one reaches the legendary level of Bloodline True Spirit. However, due to various reasons, such as becoming addicted to the rapid advancement brought about by mutation, or being forced to...

The scales are out of balance.

Reason has vanished.

This would lead to irreversible bloodline mutations, causing distortions, deviations, and mutations in one's senses, ultimately resulting in a breakdown of reason and the appearance of corresponding mutated physical characteristics...

The person is not there.

To put it simply, in order to save his life, Fan Hongchou mutated his bloodline to its limit in an instant, blocking the attack of the divine weapon.

He was actually already dead at this point.

All that remained was a mutated monster named 'Fan Hongchou'.

Unlike the initial temporary mutation that enhanced his strength, Fan Hongchou is now unable to recover.

"You think you've won. Actually, you've lost." Jawbone spoke to himself. "Don't you ever think about why my bloodline weapon is gone? So many people are watching, is it just for safety, suppression, and blockade?"

"What do you want to say?" Tantai Xunzhen's face suddenly turned ugly, as if she had thought of something.

Relying on the precognitive power of the Spirit Jade, she knew that Fan Hongchou's bloodline weapon was not on his person, which is why she dared to set a trap and take the risk.

According to the foreseeable future, it was precisely because of the need to refine the "forbidden weapon" that Fan Hongchou separated his bloodline divine weapon to protect the refining process from being interrupted.

so…...

If we can find a way to get rid of Fan Hongchou and stop the capture of those with the necessary qualifications, we can successfully slow down the forging of forbidden artifacts, or even follow the clues to sabotage the forging process.

But... now that I hear it like this...

What she saw in her premonition was not the real truth.

Fan Hongchou was like a mindless, self-answering chatbot.

“Little girl of the Tantai family…you rely too much on the Spirit Jade…Do you think that what you see and foresee is the future that will definitely happen? No, no, no, that’s a naive idea.”

"You... could it be?!" Tantai Xunzhen realized a terrifying possibility, and her face turned deathly pale instantly.

"The forbidden artifact... has been successfully forged long ago!" The skull's eyes shone brightly with green light, as if the last piece of kindling had been lit.

It was as if Fan Hongchou's last vestige of consciousness had been awakened.

Buzz...

In an instant.

Even the harsh, hoarse sound of bones grinding seemed to carry a hint of emotion, as if Fan Hongchou had truly come back to life.

"I have broken the cycle of fate, changed the destiny of my people, and saved all living beings! Though I am dead, my achievements will be remembered in history! The trend of reform is unstoppable! Humanity will surely prosper!" Like fireworks exploding, the green light in his eyes suddenly burst forth, and even specks of green fluorescence floated out of his eye sockets, wandering around like will-o'-the-wisps.

Faintly visible, tiny, mayfly-like black creatures were mixed among the specks of light.

"You...you people who are blocking the trend..." The flames rose to their highest point, followed by extreme weakness.

His voice became hoarse and weak, like a rusty hinge, and he could only utter a single word with difficulty and a little effort.

"One by one... they all need to be..."

Click!

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

A giant foot fell from the sky.

With a click.

Bone fragments flew everywhere, and a burst of green light erupted. The entire skull was completely reduced to a pile of debris, with bone powder and other particles scattered all over the ground.

"die…..."

His jaw slowly closed, and after uttering the last word, he finally fell silent.

"Han Yi...you actually...didn't die either?!" Tantai Xunzhen, who was still pondering whether Fan Hongchou's words were true or false and hadn't yet processed the news, was shocked once again.

"Are you... a human... or a ghost?!"

Fan Hongchou was completely transformed, and it's a miracle he wasn't blown up on the spot.

Han Yi... why...?

“Yes… I’m not dead yet…” Han Yi stepped forward, heading towards Tantai Xunzhen.

His entire body was in a terrible state.

The Asura form had long been destroyed, and his body was covered with black marks from the fire. Only a strange green symbol on his forehead flickered and faded with his breath.

The limbs were covered with countless dense black cracks, like porcelain that had been smashed and then glued back together, ready to shatter at the slightest touch.

A large amount of dark red scabs remained on his chest. Several cracked wounds, caused by the aftershocks, were also visible on his back.

Through the writhing flesh, you can even see the dark red internal organs inside.

Tap... Tap...

The charred skin, like black incense ash, slowly slid to the ground along Han Yi's scalp, cheeks, and back.

He moved slowly, inching forward step by step, his body leaving a long black mark on the ground like an ink brush.

"I'm sorry, Han Yi... I'm so sorry this time..." Tantai Xunzhen lowered her head, not daring to look at him. "I will offer... a compensation that will satisfy you..." "Then I'll listen attentively..." Han Yi stopped, exhaling wisps of hot breath. "If I'm not satisfied..."

call…...

The temperature of the surrounding air suddenly rose rapidly.

Like a steamer, the temperature quickly reached an unbearable 100 degrees Celsius.

“I will tell you everything…” Tantai Xunzhen slowly raised her head, a helpless and bitter smile flashing across her face.

However, unbeknownst to the two, at the spot where Fan Hongchou died, a faint black line flickered.

After circling around Fan Hongchou's scattered remains a few times, the black line shot into the sky like an arrow and sped away into the distance.

Han Yi seemed to notice something and swept his gaze over.
