Step to Eternal Life - C53
Rustle, rustle, the slight friction was caused by Yun Chen’s spotlessly white shoes stepping on the floor of the cave.
The layout of this place was somewhat strange. In front of the cave was what looked like a magnificent palace, with a small path leading straight to the end. On both sides were frozen spring water, and further over were the areas where Qing Xiang had fainted. It seemed that they had arranged for him to cultivate in, because that area was especially rich in spirit energy.
After that, there were the golden statues on both sides. Gu Yi and Day Wenxiang were like giants, blocking the entire cave palace.
At the end, there was even a dark black hole above the cave, with a circular shape at the entrance. If Qing Xiang had not pointed it out, Yun Chen would definitely not have been able to discover it.
Through the deep hole, there was an endless darkness. It was so deep that even Yun Chen felt dizzy.
“So deep …” Yun Chen could not help but take a deep breath to calm his emotions.
“Chirp, chirp …”
The strange sound echoed once more, just like what he had heard back in the cave.
“Not good, could it be another skull?” Yun Chen’s hands pushed out, the air around him moved with the rhythm, and then spread out in all directions, looking extremely otherworldly.
Yun Chen stepped forward as he walked in the direction where the Cloudpaw had been blasted away. Along the way, his skull broke under Yun Chen’s feet, turned into dust, and became one with the heaven and earth.
Continuing onwards, Yun Chen was on alert at all times as he tried to sense his surroundings.
“Swish …” “Hiss …”
An even stranger sound came out from within. Yun Chen was startled and unknowingly, he took a few steps back.
“What is this place?” Yun Chen endured the fear in his heart. With regards to him, who had just arrived, and to all sorts of mysterious territories that he had yet to visit, he would naturally be shocked by the unknown.
“Come…” “Come …”
The weak and gentle voice continued to ring, but it was indistinct, yet it flowed into Yun Chen’s ears.
“Who is it?” Yun Chen was shocked once again, he then extended out his palms, and once again opened up everything in front of him. Boom, boom, what he saw was only dust flying everywhere.
“Cultivators are fearless in the face of death. Demons, monsters, monsters … they are just a part of their mind.”
When Yun Chen was young, when he was afraid, Yun Tianhao would always use this method to comfort him.
After Yun Chen recovered his wits, he couldn’t help but recall everything his father had taught him.
“If that’s the case, then why should we be afraid?”
A cool breeze blew, and with Yun Chen’s resolute expression, he stepped into the depths of the cave.
Phew, a bright light suddenly appeared and pounced towards Yun Chen with scorching hot flames.
“Oh no, there’s a fire pillar?” Yun Chen immediately opened his hands and leaned back, using his legs to support the ground and floating in the air.
In front of his eyes, countless fire dragons were scurrying back and forth, just an inch away from Yun Chen.
“Cloudpaw.” With a turn of his body, Yun Chen stepped forward with his right foot and flew out, flying several feet away from the place where the fire dragons roamed.
Boom! Flames shot out in all directions. The bodies of several fire dragons exploded and sparks were scattered all over.
“Roar!” The Fire Dragon’s Fury was like a surging wave that soared to the sky. Several Fire Dragons walked side by side, engulfing the air and surrounding Yun Chen’s body with their heat.
“Not good.” Yun Chen suddenly stomped on the ground and leaped up, wanting to break out of the fire dragon’s encirclement.
Pa, the Fire Dragon swung its tail and came over, slapping towards Yun Chen’s chest.
Yun Chen’s clothes were made from a special material. Under normal circumstances, a battle would not be able to cause any damage to his, but under the fire dragon’s strike, most of his clothes were destroyed, which caused Yun Chen to be afraid and frightened.
“My god.”
“Trampoline.” Yun Chen endured the pain from being burned, stepping on one of the Fire Dragon’s bodies, then used the wall of the cave to shoot straight into the depths of the cave like a bullet.
“Roar …”
With an angered roar, the Fire Dragon surged its body and opened its bloody mouth, not moving a single step towards Yun Chen.
“Not good …” His speed was still slightly inferior …
“Ah …” His entire body was swallowed up by the fire dragons in an instant. The sensation of being on fire poured down from every part of his body.
“Ah …”
This kind of pain was unbearable. After all, Yun Chen was just a mortal, he was naturally burnt, struck by lightning, drowned by water, and buried under earth.
Facing the mysterious Fire Dragon, Yun Chen, who was inside the Fire Dragon, how could he endure?
The first thing he felt was his face and hands, the high temperature and the blazing fire. Under the pincer attack, Yun Chen almost suffocated to death, with an intense unwillingness to do so, Yun Chen endured the pain in his entire body and continued to circulate his energy to protect his entire body while trying to break through the body of the fire dragon.
The power of the Pulse Stage erupted from the body. In times of danger, the human body’s potential would always produce miracles.
On his chest, that imprint that resembled a Haoyang began to materialize. The golden liquid fused with his blood and became one, the imprint on his chest continued to condense liquid that first entered his heart and then flowed throughout his entire body.
“Ah …” I’m going out. ” The berserk fire dragon kept on striking at the surroundings, and Yun Chen, who was in its stomach, was enduring the pain and constantly stirred up all the substances in its body. He had already caught his breath.
It was not a true fire dragon, but its body contained the entire source of life. If it were to be destroyed by Yun Chen, the fire dragon would also be destroyed.
“Roar …” Feeling the pain from their companions, the surrounding fire dragons continued to rage at their surroundings. They had no emotions, no emotions, and no intelligence, but they possessed a terrifying instinct. Perhaps this was the result of thousands of years of evolution through ancient secret arts.
With the disappearance of the pain, a miracle could only happen for a short period of time. Under the blazing fire, Yun Chen’s resistance slowly weakened. His life seemed to be nearing its end.
“I… “Unreconciled …”
Yun Chen felt a deep sense of powerlessness invade his entire body, and with a look of confusion, he fell into the Fire Dragon’s stomach. The surroundings were so suffocating, yet Yun Chen was really unable to do anything.
However, what he did not know was that the Fire Dragon’s Life Origin was less than three inches away from his feet. It was only a sliver away from escaping from the fire.
The life and death crisis had already passed, and because Yun Chen’s life was about to come to an end …
In the void, the white-haired old man stood atop a fire dragon and approached. Endless black holes swallowed all of the fire dragons. They weakly resisted, appearing pale and weak.
The old man flicked his sleeves as he soared up into the skies. The world he resided in had long since been separated from the real world. This was a completely different dimension.
In this place, there was only eternal desolation. The surroundings were all floating meteorites, and since ancient times, there weren’t many people who had come to disturb them.
“Child, I’ll help you with this favor.” Smiling, the old man looked at Yun Chen, who was in the Fire Dragon’s stomach, through everything with a doting look in his eyes.
With the sky as the furnace and the sky as the cauldron, the old man waved his hand and an endless void collapsed.
The surrounding space was constantly shrinking. This required celestial spiritual energy to accomplish.
However, to the old man, this was just a piece of cake.
The cold wind whistled as it blew against the roaring fire dragons. Around them, a rope that was as thin as nothingness tightly wrapped around them. By instinct, they were constantly struggling.
“All of you, give up your lives’ worth of power for those who are still alive.”
The old man didn’t have the slightest bit of sympathy towards such Spiritual Beings. They were only mutated so they shouldn’t have lived in this world to begin with.
As time passed, the old man’s eyes flashed with a bright light. Behind him, three hands, eight arms, each with a different set of seals, were extended from his back again, and more and more rays of light formed into small, exquisite imprints that floated in the air in front of the old man.
“Whew.” Even with the old man’s strength, after doing all of this, he still felt tired.
As far as mortals were concerned, life and death were nothing more than a person having a heartbeat and having a stable pulse.
However, for someone like the old man, who had Transcended from the mortal world, the performance of the fleshly body was meaningless. Some people could live on forever as long as their soul remained.
Thus, although Yun Chen’s life force had stopped circulating, as long as his soul was preserved, the old man could still bring him back to life.
“Mortals are no different from the mortal body. Their bodies are like rotten bran, and they have too much filth; they are unable to transcend the mortal world.” The old man looked at Yun Chen and muttered.
Afterwards, the imprint that was formed flew through the Fire Dragon and landed on Yun Chen’s body.
The Haoyang’s mark was hidden within the chest, and the old man’s mark was attached to the entire body, just like a meridian, forming a striped path, making Yun Chen appear very mysterious.
Although Yun Chen trembled slightly while he was still in his gentle embrace, he was still unable to open his eyes.
“Good child, don’t worry.” For some reason, the old man looked at Yun Chen, and was especially doting on him, “Fire Dragon Burning Body, this is the first gift for you …”
