The Quest for Immortality

The Barbarian God before me did not lose his head.

Iron Skill Bone felt inexplicably relieved:

”Indeed, a true Barbarian God cannot be easily beheaded...”

As Iron Skill Bone was thinking this, a sudden change erupted.

Between heaven and earth, a sword light condensed.

Iron Skill Bone was filled with fear.

It’s coming!

That sword light... is coming again!

That ”Little Fierce God,” he’s coming to cut off the Barbarian God’s head again!

Iron Skill Bone wanted to speak, to say, ”Barbarian God, run!” ”Your head is going to fall!”

But he quickly realized it was too late to say anything now.

His words couldn’t be faster than the sword.

As soon as he spoke, the time for the ”Barbarian God” to lose his head arrived.

The Barbarian God is in danger!

Iron Skill Bone was anxious.

Yet, what he anticipated did not happen.

The surging sword light did not behead the golden Barbarian God before him.

Instead, the ”Barbarian God” merely pointed lightly, and a myriad of golden rays dissipated the sword light.

Iron Skill Bone was momentarily lost, then his heart surged with shock.

”Is this... the great power of the Barbarian God?”

”That little Fierce God’s sword can’t harm the Barbarian God at all?”

”That...”

Footsteps sounded beside him, Iron Skill Bone was startled, turned to look, and was shocked at what he saw.

Behind him, there was no ”Little Fierce God.”

This was clearly a terrifying ”Sword Demon” with demonic qi surging, mighty and intimidating, his body like a white bone sword.

At this moment, this Sword Demon drew his bone, transforming it into a Bone Sword, walking step by step towards the golden Barbarian God.

It seemed his intention was to ”slay the god.”

Yet, regardless of his overwhelming demonic qi, he couldn’t overshadow the boundless golden light.

Sword Qi intertwined with golden light.

Demonic Qi was suppressed by divine might.

The ”Sword Demon” was also oppressed by the golden light of the ”Barbarian God,” unable to keep his head up.

He was not the Barbarian God’s match at all.

And this was the last scene Iron Skill Bone witnessed.

It seemed that due to the ”God and Demon” battle, the void began to twist, and the dreamland started to shatter.

Iron Skill Bone felt his entire body also oppressed by the aura of gods and demons, almost suffocating from a sense of being crushed...

No!

He’s going to die!

Iron Skill Bone suddenly opened his eyes, looked around, and found he was still sitting on a bed made of animal hides, surrounded by a tent, with no gods, no divine might, no Sword Qi, nothing.

Everything seemed to be just a ”dream.”

Iron Skill Bone gasped for air, his back drenched in sweat.

Meanwhile, he felt a sense of relief from having survived a calamity.

”It’s all false, just a dream...”

But Iron Skill Bone quickly sensed something was amiss, ”Was it really just a dream? Dreams come in many forms, why would I have such a dream?”

”Something is amiss...”

Iron Skill Bone began to recall his dream, the more he remembered, the more it seemed peculiar, especially...

”What was that terrifying ’Demon Monster’ with the Sword Bone all over its body?”

It made sense to dream of the Barbarian God, as he devoutly served the Barbarian God, aspiring to be the Barbarian God’s most loyal servant.

By day he thought, by night he dreamed.

So he could dream of the Barbarian God at night.

This was the Barbarian God’s gift to him.

”But, what of that Sword Bone Demon Monster?”

”I’ve never seen it before, why did it suddenly appear in my dreams out of nowhere?”

”One can’t dream of entirely unrelated things. Since I dreamed of it, it means... I should have encountered this Sword Bone Demon Monster, I should know it...”

”It is...”

Iron Skill Bone suddenly realized something.

”It’s that Fierce God!”

In terms of constructing belief systems, Iron Skill Bone was talented, his thoughts quickly linked everything together naturally.

That Little Fierce God wielded a sword.

This terrifying Sword Demon also wielded a sword.

That Little Fierce God beheaded the ”Barbarian God’s” head.

This terrifying Sword Demon also sought to behead the ”Barbarian God’s” head.

This indicates that the young ”Golden Child” appearance of the Little Fierce God is actually the same entity as this demonic Demon Monster.

The rosy-lipped, white-toothed ”Golden Child” is just a disguise to deceive the world.

The menacing ”Sword Demon” is the true form, its most primal appearance.

”Why did I dream of this Demon Monster’s true form?”

Iron Skill Bone murmured, then suddenly realized:

”Because... of the Barbarian God?!”

”The Barbarian God sensed my loyalty. He gave me a prophetic dream, revealing the true form of the White Bone Sword Demon, so I know the truth: an unknown Sword Bone Demon Monster coveting the deity.”

”Meanwhile, the Barbarian God also conveyed through the dream that the true ’Barbarian God’ cannot be beheaded by such a demon monster, instead, with a body of golden light, he can easily suppress this demon monster.”

”Any Barbarian God beheaded by this ’Sword Demon’ is a false one.”

”In front of the true Barbarian God, this ’Sword Demon’ is insignificant.”

”Yes, that’s certainly the case!”

Iron Skill Bone felt his heart clear, his entire body relaxed.

He understood everything, a smile appeared on his face.

Guided by the ”Barbarian God’s” revelation, he comprehended everything, seeing through all causes and consequences.

His doubts about Mo Hua were also dispelled.

Why was that so-called ”Shaman,” despite being young, his cultivation not high, possessed such strange abilities?

Why did his Golden Core, after spending time with him, feel so intimidated?

Because he wasn’t a ”human” at all!

That shaman, he wasn’t human!
