Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 995: Chapter 557: Equality of All Beings in the Burial Immortal Ruins

Zhao Sheng saw the situation, stepped forward again, and without hesitation took out three treasures: the Cosmic Light Marrow, the Void Nether Stone, and the Kongtong Shell. He bowed and said, “May I ask Senior Fengfengzi, could these three treasures containing the Power of Space-Time be exchanged for an item on your stall?!”

“Hehe, little sly one! I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll teach you a lesson. Never reveal your wealth, especially in a lawless place like the Burial Immortal Ruins. Had you not been near my stall, you would probably have met a violent end by now.”

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Sheng indeed sensed three or four focused gazes from behind, filled with killing intent.

Zhao Sheng, without a trace of fear, confidently smiled and said, “As a junior, I believe I have some boxing and kicking skills, enough to deal with a few blind troublemakers.”

Fengfengzi looked him up and down, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and said, “I was as confident as you when I was your age. But after experiencing life and death a few times, you won’t speak like this again.”

With that, he shifted back to the main topic, “I will not deceive you. These three items barely equal one Space-Time Crystal Stone. Hmm, on the left, pick any piece from that pile of scrap metal.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s eyelid twitched, looking at a pile of Magical Treasures on the left, he thought to himself, “What kind of cultivation realm does this person have to have such high standards! Clearly top-grade Magical Treasures, yet he calls them scrap metal.”

With such thoughts, his gaze moved back and forth over the various Magical Treasures, finally settling on a grayish-white stele about three inches thick.

The surface of the stele was engraved with over a hundred Taiyi Spiritual Texts, the script was ancient, simple, and vigorous, but faintly exuded an indescribable charm.

Zhao Sheng only recognized ten or so of the characters, while the other Spiritual Texts were completely unfamiliar, sparking his curiosity greatly.

He pointed at the stele and said, “Senior, I wish to obtain this treasure.”

“Little one, you have good eye power! This is the Harmonization Stele! It was a playful creation of mine in the past. Consider it your good fortune today.”

As he spoke, the Spiritual Text Stele rose into the air, and when it flew to Zhao Sheng, he grabbed it and carefully placed it in his arms.

It seemed as if he placed it in his arms, but in reality, it was already stored in his Sumeru Space.

“Thank you, Senior, for bestowing this treasure! I am most grateful.” Zhao Sheng once again bowed in thanks.

“Hurry and leave, or be careful to not get yourself covered in blood!”

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng was puzzled, but without asking more, he immediately turned and was about to leave the place.

Just then, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed through the street, “You bald thief! You… dare occupy my stall! Prepare to die!”

With a series of heavy, thundering footsteps quickly approaching from afar.

At that very moment, a towering three-zhang tall golden giant suddenly leapt from seven or eight zhang away, bringing with it the rumbling sounds of wind and thunder, twisting its body and kneeling in midair, forming its fists into a hammer shape, fiercely smashing towards Fengfengzi’s head.

Judging by its size alone, the golden giant’s body must be extremely heavy, and after concentrating all its force into its Iron Fists, the punching power had already exceeded ten thousand jun.

Seeing its fist about to hit the target, the golden giant couldn’t help but look overjoyed, immediately putting in even more force.

Behind the stall, Fengfengzi remained motionless, not even glancing at the attacker, only extending his right hand, flicking a finger upward.

Boom!

A thunderous roar suddenly erupted, Gang Wind like a knife, a violent hurricane born out of thin air.

Zhao Sheng faintly felt countless invisible Wind Blades rising with the wind, instantly enveloping the golden giant’s entire body.

Ah!

A miserable scream abruptly stopped, the golden giant was immediately shredded to pieces, turning into a mass of flesh and blood, swept away by the hurricane in an instant, quickly scattering across the surrounding ground, countless fragmented remains fallen all over.

Seeing this scene, the street was utterly silent, most people looked on dumbfounded, their faces full of fear.

Zhao Sheng stood at the stall without a speck of blood on him.

But when his gaze fell on the pile of flesh, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye slightly.

What he saw was the flesh faintly showing a golden-like texture, evidently very dense.

The shattered bones, all over being as translucent as jade, like the finest jade, faintly glowing with a gleaming jade light.

More alarming was that the vast amount of fresh blood falling to the ground immediately transformed into thumb-sized crimson Blood Pearls, rolling around attemptingly trying to gather together again.

Although the Blood Pearls soon scattered, turning back into blood.

This astonishing phenomenon just now left a permanent impression on everyone’s mind, unforgettable for life.

After a brief silence, someone suddenly cried out in horror, “Golden Skin Jade Bone, Essence Blood Spirit! Dead… the one who died is… a Half-Immortal of the Void!”

As these words were spoken, there was an uproar.

Everyone was in shock, looking over with eyes full of reverence.

Fengfengzi seemed as though he had done something trivial, beckoning with his hand, a Gang Wind arose from nowhere, picking up a bulging gray pouch, and returning it to his hand.

At this time, Zhao Sheng silently walked a few steps, squatted in the middle of the flesh pile, quickly picking up the scattered flesh and bone pieces.

He even disregarded the filthiness, gathering most of the giant’s head into his arms.

“Stop!”

“Wait, I’ll help too!”

“Quick, gather it!”

Seeing this, everyone immediately swarmed in!

The body of a Half-Immortal of the Void was incredibly valuable.

One must know that after a cultivator reached the Returning to Void Realm, their flesh had become a quasi-immortal body, known as Golden Skin Jade Bone.

At this level, the flesh of a Half-Immortal of the Void could almost be considered Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, extremely versatile!

Merely the possibility of glimpsing higher realms of cultivation from the body of a demi-immortal could drive those below the Returning to Void Realm to madness.

Among the crowd, a tall middle-aged man in blue armor ran to the front.

This person didn’t even try to pick up the body; instead, he directly rushed toward Zhao Sheng, shouting violently, “Kid, drop the stuff in your hands, and I’ll spare your life!”

He had just said this, suddenly charging with a body slam, obviously relying on his invulnerable armor to bully Zhao Sheng, who seemingly had nothing to defend himself with.

However…

The man saw a blur before his eyes, and the figure of the youth vanished from his view.

The next instant, he only felt his head lighten, his vision soared to the sky,

after a spinning sensation, he crashed heavily to the ground, then fell into eternal darkness, never again to feel anything.

In others’ eyes, they only saw Zhao Sheng’s figure blur for a moment, appearing behind the armored man, then amidst a flicker of Sword Light, a head soared into the sky.

Leaving behind only a headless corpse, from which blood gushed a full three zhang high.

Seeing this, people on the streets were struck dumb, most staring in shock and awe.

Zhao Sheng stood in front of the stall, clean as could be, without a drop of blood on him.

But when his gaze fell on the pile of flesh, he couldn’t help but flinch at the corners of his eyes.

Before him, the pieces of flesh appeared vaguely golden in texture, obviously of immense density.

The shattered bones, gleaming like the finest jade, emitted a faint luminous glow.

Even more frightening was the blood that turned into thumb-sized crimson Blood Pearls upon striking the ground, rolling around as they attempted to regroup.

Although the Blood Pearls quickly disintegrated and reverted to blood.

Yet just now, this astonishing sight was forever etched in the hearts of everyone, never to be forgotten.

After a brief silence, someone suddenly shouted in shock, “Golden skin and jade bones, essence blood spirit! The… the one who died… was a Half-Immortal of the Void!”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.

Everyone was utterly shocked, casting awestruck gazes toward this side.

Fengfengzi looked like he had done something of little significance, with a wave of his hand, a surge of Gang Wind formed, fluttering away the flesh fragments of the body like it was no big deal to him.

As Zhao Sheng stood there at the stall, not a drop of blood stained his clean clothes.

Yet when his eyes fell on that pile of flesh, the corner of his eye couldn’t help but twitch slightly.

Everywhere he looked, the fragments of flesh were seemingly of a golden texture, evidently incredibly dense.

The pieces of Bone were translucent as jade, faintly glowing with a glistening jade light.

More frightening, a large amount of blood that had splattered on the ground immediately transformed into thumb-sized blood pearls, rolling around on the ground, trying to gather together again

Although the Blood Pearls soon disintegrated again, reverting to blood.

But this astonishing phenomenon from a moment ago became forever etched in the hearts of the people, unforgettable for a lifetime.

After a brief silence, someone suddenly screamed in fright, “Golden skin and jade bones, Essence Blood Spirit! The… the one who died… was a Demi Immortal of the Void!”

This statement immediately caused an uproar.

Everyone was shocked and glanced over with awe.

Fengfengzi acted as if he had done something insignificant, motioned with his hand, and a Gang Wind arose violently out of nowhere.

A sense of a hundred invisible Wind Blades seemingly enveloped the golden giant’s entire body.

Suddenly, a horrible scream abruptly stopped as the golden giant was instantly shredded into countless pieces of flesh and blood, which were instantly swept away by the storm, soon scattering all over the ground with innumerable fragments of body parts.

No one said a word as if the street had fallen into a deathly stillness, most were wide-eyed and speechless with horror.

Zhao Sheng stood in front of the stall, his body completely clean, not a drop of blood touching him.

But as his gaze fell upon the pile of shredded flesh, the corners of his eyes uncontrollably twitched slightly.

What he saw was that the torn flesh vaguely appeared to have a golden quality, suggesting immense density.

Each shattered bone scintillated like the finest jade, subtly emitting a luminous light.

More horrifyingly, when the thick blood pooled on the ground, it immediately transformed into thumb-sized crimson Blood Pearls, rolling around as if trying to regroup.

Though the Blood Pearls shortly disintegrated again, turning back into blood.

Yet this startling scene that just occurred became forever imprinted on the hearts of those present, unforgettable for a lifetime.

After a brief silence, someone suddenly exclaimed in terror, “Golden muscles and jade bones, Essence Blood Spirit! The one… the one that died… was a Half-Immortal of the Void!”

This statement immediately caused a huge commotion.

Everyone was amazed, looking this way with awe in their eyes.

Fengfengzi seemed to have done something insignificant, waving his hand, a gust of Gang Wind appeared out of thin air and caused a violent storm.

Zhao Sheng faintly felt countless invisible Wind Blades arise with the wind, in an instant enveloping the entire body of the golden giant.

The scene froze with a sudden wail, as the golden giant was instantly slashed into a mass of shredded flesh and blood, quickly swept away by the storm, soon scattering pieces all over the surrounding ground.

The street fell silent, most people stunned and terrified, their eyes wide open.

Zhao Sheng stood before the stall, his body was impeccably clean, without a single drop of blood touching him.

However, as his gaze landed on that pile of meat pieces, he couldn’t help but slightly twitch the corner of his eye.

Everywhere he looked, the shredded flesh faintly revealed a golden texture, clearly of immense density.

The shattered bones were as crystal clear as jade, faintly exuding a radiant light*

Although the Blood Pearls quickly scattered, turning back into blood.

Yet the shocking anomaly that just transpired was forever etched into the hearts of everyone present, never to be forgotten.

After a brief moment of silence, someone suddenly shouted in horror: “Golden muscles and jade bones, Essence Blood Spirit! The… the one who died… was a Half-Immortal of the Void!”

This statement immediately caused a stir.

Everyone was utterly shocked, casting their eyes with reverence towards this side.

Fengfengzi, as if it were just a trivial chore he did, waved his hand, summoning a Gang Wind that emerged out of nothing, as if it had nothing to do with him.

When Zhao Sheng, covered in blood, emerged from the shop.

By then, dissent over scrambling for the fragments of the Half-Immortal had already settled.
