Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

However, at the Chixie Sect's mountain gate, which was shrouded in a red mist, the view could only extend for five or six hundred meters at most, and the source of that fleeting glimpse could not be found.

“Just now, it seemed like something glanced at us.” Chen Fenghuo, who was beside us, also detected it.

"With your special perceptive abilities, can you discover its source?"

But the other party just shook their head: "Crossing levels allows you to see different aspects of the same thing, but there are still limitations."

Xi Heng then pondered for a moment and recited:

“...That gaze just now was purely malicious, and had no fixed target. Logically speaking, it should have been cast upon a calamity that is malevolent towards all things.”

"But it didn't see it before, and it suddenly appeared shortly after Su Xuanhua entered the rift."

Thus, a guess naturally emerged:

"It may be because it sensed that the crack was being touched by us, and therefore wanted to seize this treasure."

Chen Fenghuo wasn't entirely sure:

"The cultivators in the Crimson River Sect only understand and utilize a portion of the Blood Calamity's power using the methods of cultivators. Their actual strength is far inferior to the true Blood Calamity, and their secret treasures should also be incomparable to the Blood Calamity. This should attract the attention of the Blood Calamity's will."

“That rift is different.” Xi Heng shook his head: “The strange power contained within is closer to some kind of origin. Even the enormous blood calamity outside is merely a product of that origin…”

She recalled the five-headed beast she encountered when she retrieved the finger from her hand.

The head in the center of the enemy's head is scarlet, and the bloodshed may be related to that head.

The calamity is guarded by the phantom of the beast itself, or perhaps it was once a part of that beast.

The calamities associated with the five-headed beast, such as the filth calamity, the transmutation calamity, and the hidden calamity, are therefore of great concern to them, and they crave the calamity indicator.

In fact, the real reason why the calamity reached this world might be because of this finger.

It was just that it had been unable to find the location of the Disaster Finger until today, when the three of them entered the Crimson River Sect's secret realm, came to the crack in the ground where the Disaster Finger was stored, and stirred up the fluctuations within it, and finally found it.

Then the will of filth sent its gaze upon this place.

Xi Heng blinked, a strange sense of danger rising in his heart.

He was about to put his guesses into words and explain them to the blonde woman beside him.

But first, a thunderous roar resounded.

The booming sound seemed to pierce through the mountains, causing the entire secret realm carved out within the mountain to tremble continuously, and an intense sense of threat swept over like a cold wind.

Xi Heng felt something was amiss, and without hesitation, he turned around and waved his hand, unleashing a dense aura of death from his six fingers on his left hand, and lashed it toward the source of the tremor.

The dark, deathly energy exploded forth, then transformed into a giant pillar that crashed into the inner wall of the mountain.

Before they even arrived, the mountain wall inlaid with glowing crystals exploded, and giant, blood-red silverfish emerged.

The spider-like six-segmented limbs, exuding a corrosive aura, pressed against the mountain wall, about to burst forth with immense force, when a colossal pillar of deathly energy crashed down upon it.

In an instant, the giant pillar pierced through the head and tail of the woodworm, revealing a blood-soaked hole.

Thick blood was squeezed out, and the body was about to reassemble, but it was blocked by the death energy.

The aura of death seeped into the giant silverfish, squeezing out the monster's crimson blood, leaving only dried flesh and bones, which were then transformed into servants manipulated by the Lord of the Death Realm.

However, the chilling threat did not originate from just this one monster. As the entire mountain hummed, the mountain walls in other directions also cracked, and from behind emerged even more enormous monsters, stained with blood and multiplied many times over, including woodlice, segmented earthworms, centipedes, mole crickets, and others.

As the thunder roared again, the swarming insect monsters became even more excited, charging towards the crack in the ground with all their might as if they had taken a stimulant.

The silverfish that had been controlled by Xi Heng were easily torn apart by other insects, and the wave of monsters was getting closer and closer.

The winged insect monsters were incredibly fast, covering thousands of meters in just a few seconds.

Xi Heng retaliated immediately, summoning vengeful ghost heads made of pure death energy that bared their fangs and claws as they crashed into the swarm of insects.

Fortunately, these insects were merely infected beings, not true calamity beasts. The death energy could inflict severe injuries upon impact, causing them to expel blood that would then take over their bodies.

The first wave of insect swarms was stopped, and the battle turned into a fight between Xi Heng's own forces.

Chen Fenghuo, looking at the powerful enemies all around him, felt a desire to retreat.

He could only barely cast a spell behind Xi Heng to amplify the death energy creation, still not understanding the current situation.

"Should we stay here?" she asked during a break in her spellcasting.

“We must stay here,” Xi Heng said. “The blood tide is here for the calamity finger. Sending out so many insects is to stop Su Xuanhua or to get the finger first.”

"Can we hold out...?" Chen Fenghuo wondered as he watched the endless swarm of insects.

"It should be possible. If not, we'll leave first." Xi Heng said casually, then unleashed a wave of death energy towards the densest swarm of insects, infecting dozens more bloodworms.

However, more blood hordes of monsters are still surging in, and behind them may not only be insects, but also blood-red humanoids, and even infected cultivators...

The death energy in Xi Heng's hands was not inexhaustible, and he didn't know how long he could hold out here.

In short, let's wait and see how things go.

Su Xuanhua has been trapped in the rift for half a day; perhaps he will be able to emerge with the secret treasure soon.

The white-haired girl maintained her optimistic attitude, once again dispelling the deathly aura.

Such extravagance gradually diminishes the life force within.

However, as long as there are still things that have just died nearby, they can be absorbed and restored.

Although the total amount cannot be maintained during the cycle, it seems that it can last for several months without any problem.

Chen Fenghuo was also behind, refining and absorbing the spiritual energy within the Crimson River Sect's secret realm to cast spells.

It can be used sustainably in the early stages, but later it only lasts a few minutes before it can be used once.

If she were a Nascent Soul cultivator, she wouldn't need to waste time refining spiritual power; she could simply use external spiritual power from heaven and earth. Unfortunately, that's not the case.

The swarm of Bobo insects surged and was scattered, then regrouped and attacked again, like a receding tide.

This cycle repeated several times, and half a day had already passed.

Xi Heng was getting tired of seeing the swarms of insects, and then he heard thunder rumbling in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the mountain shook, and large sections of the inner walls surrounding the secret realm shattered with a loud crash.

A blood beast, formed from the glued-together hordes of bizarre giant insects, emerged from the body and charged forward on its powerful limbs.

“That’s a disaster.” Chen Fenghuo, who was somewhat exhausted from the prolonged exertion, immediately said, “The weakness is a very small, pitch-black silverfish deep inside the left front knee.”

Xi Heng nodded, then summoned another giant pillar of death energy and launched it like a missile.

The giant pillar roared forward as soon as it appeared, but the monster managed to dodge it with a simple sidestep.

Despite being much larger than other giant insects, it is actually much faster.

Xi Heng spread his six fingers on his left hand, and the giant pillar in the air transformed into countless ghostly shapes, howling and turning to bite.

The ghosts clashed with the blood beasts, while swarms of insects from other directions danced with corpses.

The girl raised her sharp blade, gathering death energy—

The figure vanished in an instant, reappearing in front of the enemy, the blade falling at the same time.

A flash of black light cleaved the giant beast's left knee in two.

Amidst the tearing of flesh and blood, a fist-sized black crystal worm flew out and fled.

The sword energy pointed straight ahead, like a bullet hitting mud, shattering it.

The blood worms that made up the giant beast immediately scattered, and a moment later they turned into a chaotic swarm of worms.

The massive swarm of insects accelerated toward the fissure in the ground, and Xi Heng turned back to continue blocking them.

Not long after the busy activity began, an even more terrifying roar came from the cracks around the secret realm.

Immediately afterwards, more colossal beasts made of bloodworms slowly emerged from behind, radiating a powerful aura.

Only after the seventh beast arrived did no more new calamity beasts emerge.

Xi Heng stood guard in the center of the insect swarm and clicked his tongue.

He brandished his blade and asked the person beside him, "Feng Huo, report your weaknesses."

"Let's use the technique to link divine senses." Chen Fenghuo seemed somewhat tired.

Just as he was about to cast the spell, a bright white light suddenly burst forth from the other side of the rift.

Like a massive explosion of flashbangs, everything was fine one moment, and the next, white covered everything, even silencing the sounds of the insect swarm and the blood beasts.

A dozen seconds later, the white light gradually dissipated, and the insect swarm that should have been everywhere disappeared, whether it was moved or eliminated.

The only unusual thing is that the purple light in the far distance has lost its purple color and turned into a pure white light.

A white figure, glowing and barely resembling a human, floated out from beneath the crevice, its shapeless eyes sweeping over Xi Heng.

Then, without saying or asking anything, it simply tilted its head back and floated upwards.

A white, luminous figure emerged, growing larger and larger.

Passing through the mountain walls, rocks, and the sect's main hall above, it floats towards the high sky and the vast heavens.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 371, A Gift from Heaven

Before Xi Heng, a dense white light surged upwards like a ribbon soaring into the sky.

This secret realm within the Chixie Sect's mountain gate, which was originally only illuminated by the faint light of crystals and was not very bright, is now as bright as if a sky lantern had suddenly been turned on.

On the surrounding stone walls, the light emanating from the crystals was reduced to a mere fraction, while the intense white light surging up from beneath the cracks in the ground easily illuminated everything, like a newly born sun.

The dark, mysterious palace was also stained with this strange glow, and the eaves slowly turned into ashes as if they had been burned.

Xi Heng failed to notice this, because inexplicably, his vision and attention were completely drawn to the surging white light.

They were completely oblivious to Chen Fenghuo's inexplicable panic beside them, their two pure red eyes only reflecting the dazzling white light in front of them.

Gradually, a sliver of light drifted toward where she was, and was absorbed by her outstretched right hand.

As for the white figure that initially appeared, it has now pierced through the mountain wall and dome, drifting upwards and disappearing.

Only an overwhelmingly intense white light remained, attracting the creatures within.

When a tiny, firefly-like light source touches the fingertip, the entire finger immediately turns grayish-white.

It wasn't until he felt something was wrong with his body that Xi Heng came to his senses.

When you put your right hand in front of your eyes, your index finger, which has turned grayish-white, has cracks.

As the fingertips moved, they spread out like dye in water.

The mass of the fingers gradually disappeared, turning into dust and dissipating.

She frowned slightly, and without hesitation, unleashed a burst of sword energy that severed her finger.

Then he looked around and saw that Chen Fenghuo was still not in any abnormality, so he directly triggered a spatial fluctuation and teleportation.

The surrounding scenery quickly blurred, and in just two seconds, they were back on the stone path in a patch of medicinal altars where they had stood when they arrived at the secret realm.

The surging energy waves around them ceased, and the panic in Chen Fenghuo's eyes gradually subsided. He regained his senses and hurriedly said, "Don't touch those lights."

Xi Heng then reforged his right index finger with spiritual fire: "Did you figure out what that was?"

“That was nothing short of a catastrophe.” The blonde woman pursed her lips and said, “It got too close just now, so close that it enveloped us, turning us into its own beings. It only didn’t truly devour us because the light still retained a sliver of reason…”

"What does that mean?" Xi Heng didn't quite understand all the descriptions.

“Those white things should only exist on a higher level.” Chen Fenghuo pressed his temples and said slowly, “We only saw them at the beginning of their creation, but now it seems they have ascended to heaven… right?”

As she spoke, her tone shifted to a question, as if she herself was unsure of what she was saying.

Xi Heng could only interpret it this way: "Does it mean that Su Xuanhua received some great fortune down below and transformed into the white light just now to ascend to heaven?"

Tsk.

She also obtained a finger, so why didn't she ascend to immortality?

“Although that thing has Su Xuanhua’s aura, it’s hard to say whether it is her or not… Perhaps it’s just that the special white light in her body has sublimated and gone out of control.” Chen Fenghu shook his head and said, “We don’t know where she is right now.”

“Hmm…” Xi Heng thought for a moment and said:

"Let's get out of here first, no matter what."

Because of the frequent rumbling sounds in the surrounding area, the mountain shakes violently from time to time, and its internal spiritual energy is greatly depleted, it may collapse soon.

Chen Fenghuo nodded, and Ren Xiheng hooked his wrist around hers again.

The figure swayed, accompanied by a sense of spatial shifting, the surrounding scenery first becoming blurry, then becoming clear again.
