I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

The speed of the insect shadow was so fast that even Gu Yuan’s Divine Thought could only see a blurry figure, unable to stop it.

Meanwhile, Song Yuyang, as if struck by lightning, stood rigidly still, his eyes seemingly losing their brilliance.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan did not hesitate at all. His physical strength and mana gushed into the Five Thunders Punishment Heaven Seal like a floodgate opening, leaving nothing to hold back.

”Boom!”

Immediately, a grayish lightning fell from the sky out of nowhere.

Without accompanying wind and clouds, the slaughter power contained within the lightning was extremely fierce, like divine punishment, seemingly wanting to smash everything.

”Heh heh heh!”

”Such a powerful Thunder Technique, even at this moment, you still have such means. It’s not unjust for these people to die at your hands!”

At this moment, ”Song Yuyang” suddenly raised his head, pulling out a strange arc at the corners of his mouth, and let out a sinister laugh.

With this statement, the [Defensive] Word Seal above Song Yuyang’s head suddenly flowed and erupted with blazing Spiritual Light.

Moreover, a hazy blood-colored halo surged on this Word Seal, as if it were some supreme tonic, rushing directly into the [Defensive] Word Seal. In an instant, this seal trembled, and the Spiritual Light intensified to the extreme, seemingly being forcibly elevated in rank.

”Boom!”

The lightning struck down, yet the world around Song Yuyang seemed infused with endless refined iron, turning into an impenetrable copper wall and iron bastion, as if a true ”Little World” blocked in front of him.

The intense booming resonated ceaselessly, almost shaking heaven and earth.

Yet the [Defensive] Word Seal in front of Song Yuyang remained completely unmoved, as if impervious to all laws, firmly resisting everything.

Gu Yuan observed, his expression heavy, and he frowned slightly.

Even with his full-force strike of the Five Thunders Punishment Heaven Seal, he couldn’t even break through the defense. What exactly was the insect shadow on Song Yuyang?

Why was it lurking in the Spirit Treasure Hall?

Were Gua Daoist and others’ relentless murderous intentions because of this insect?

After using the Demon Realm Seal, Gu Yuan felt something was wrong and immediately activated the Great Thunder Origin Cave Divine Dharma Eye, dispelling the evil from his heart while perceiving the anomaly in the hall.

Yet, he still didn’t understand the origin of this anomaly.

”Whoosh!”

With a thought, he used his remaining mana to once again activate the Truth Revealing Treasure Mirror, shooting out thousands of Divine Rays towards Song Yuyang.

But this time, the Truth Revealing Treasure Mirror failed.

A dense scarlet blood light, like a large cocoon, enveloped Song Yuyang, blocking the mirror’s probing.

”Your mirror is indeed remarkable, but still a bit lacking if you wish to see through my origins!”

Song Yuyang pulled the corners of his mouth into a peculiar smile.

But looking at this scarlet blood light and the insect-like appearance when the shadow initially emerged, Gu Yuan suddenly had a revelation and exclaimed:

”Taiyin Soul Ascending Fruit!!”

”Are you the Blood Soul Strange Insect that devoured the first Taiyin Soul Ascending Fruit on Soul-shaking Peak?!”

This time, it was the insect shadow within Song Yuyang that was surprised, cackling and saying, ”Indeed, you have some wit to guess my identity!”

”This vast Secret Realm is filled with some low-level, spiritually ignorant fools!”

”Even the insects on my Soul-shaking Peak are clueless, naturally lacking spiritual wisdom due to deficiencies in this Secret Realm’s world, but a three-thousand-year-old Taiyin Soul Ascending Fruit is enough to make me realize that this world is just a prison!”

”A prison!”

At the last words, Song Yuyang’s voice suddenly rose, hoarse and full of endless resentment.

A terrifying wave of soul power erupted from Song Yuyang’s body, and this soul power was incredibly formidable, seemingly surpassing Gu Yuan, even accompanied by sharp insect cries, vibrating Gu Yuan’s eardrums and shaking his heart and spirit.

Moreover, an extremely strong suction force erupted abruptly from Song Yuyang, turning the lifeless bodies of the Thunder Flood Dragon and the bearded man on the ground into a blood mist, which was swiftly absorbed into Song Yuyang’s body.

The Flood Dragon in Song Yuyang’s sleeve also let out a miserable cry, turning into blood mist and being sucked in.

At the same time, the surrounding Spiritual Qi surged like a tide, gushing into Song Yuyang’s body.

A fearsome aura abruptly exploded from within him.

This aura had already surpassed the Mid-Stage Golden Core, soaring directly into the Late Stage Golden Core, with Soul Light surging and the Power of the Soul being a terrifying existence at the Golden Core Peak.

”I endured countless hardships, controlling five Demon Beasts, to break through the Heart Inquiry Stone Tier, aiming to enter this Spirit Treasure Hall to find a way to leave this place.”

”But without the Treasure Cliff Order, I was trapped here for two thousand years, unable to move, and even my physical body was worn away, leaving only a lingering soul struggling to survive, unable even to descend the mountain!”

”Finally, after years of erosion, I waited until the Treasure Cliff Array could no longer hold, allowing me to pry it open.”

”Yet, I pried it open five times, and not a single soul ascended the mountain!”

”Not one!”

”If no one came, I would have died, but fortunately, fortunately, you finally came!”

”You finally arrived!”

As he spoke the last words, it seemed that Song Yuyang’s body wanted to leap.

Amidst despair, a flicker of hope, almost bringing tears of joy.

After venting the bitterness, the Blood Soul Strange Insect suddenly raised its head, looking at Gu Yuan, revealing a gaze directed at ”food,” grinning maliciously: ”To repay you, I shall occupy your body, and with your identity, traverse the true great world outside, reaching the pinnacle of cultivation!!”

”This body of yours is so strong, so strong, even stronger than the disciples of the Spirit Treasure Sect I remember!”
