The Quest for Immortality

He is a terrifying Sword Bone Demon Monster, formed through unknown means!

Moreover, he is not an ordinary demon monster.

”He” for some reason wore a layer of human skin, or rather, parasitized a ”flesh,” and roamed the human world, even replacing the title of ”Shaman.”

And ”his” purpose is to ”slay the deity”! ”He” wants to usurp the position of divine power!

”He” wants to transform from demon monster to deity!

Iron Skill Bone’s heart trembled with fear.

He figured everything out. Therefore, that ”Mr. Witch” became even more terrifying in his heart.

At this moment, a very dangerous premonition arose in Iron Skill Bone’s mind.

He only felt something on his chest, as if it were on fire, burning painfully.

This meant that someone wanted to kill him.

Moreover, this person could actually kill him.

Even this person, at this moment, was already ”killing” him...

”Not good...”

”Could it be that demon monster wearing the ’Shaman’s skin knows that I’ve discovered its secret and has murderous intent towards me?”

Iron Skill Bone, panicked, immediately rolled off the bed, knelt on the ground, covered his chest with both hands, and kowtowed to the sky, mumbling:

”Barbarian God, protect me...”

”Ancestors, protect me... protect your believer, protect your descendants, to ward off calamity and distress.”

”Let no disasters touch me, let all causes and consequences be transferred to others.”

”Let the Straw Dog become me, let the dead not be me...”

...

Iron Skill Bone trembled as he mumbled, a mysterious power acted upon his entire body, and before long, that ”murderous intent” indeed subsided, the burning pain in his chest also lessened, until it finally dissipated.

The doom... dissipated?

No one wants to kill me now?

Iron Skill Bone collapsed to the ground, not feeling relieved, but rather a trace of despair emerged.

He didn’t know where this murderous intent came from, but it must be related to that demon monster who took on human form.

And this was only the beginning, the future days were long ahead.

If he didn’t know the true nature of that ”demon monster,” it wouldn’t matter, he could still turn a blind eye and muddle through his days.

But now, he just had to know.

He knew those people from the Danque Tribe, who always spoke of the ”Shaman” with reverence, was not a human at all but a ”Sword Bone Demon Monster.”

A daring presence that actually coveted the deity.

Iron Skill Bone naturally felt terror in his heart.

And now, he simply couldn’t escape.

Not only could he not escape, but in the future, he would even have to work under this ”demon monster” and obey its orders.

Just the thought that he was feeding himself to the ”demon” caused Iron Skill Bone to feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

”No, no, I have to do something...”

”But... what can I do?”

”What can I do to ensure that he doesn’t realize I already know his true face?”

”What can I do to keep my life safe in the hands of this terrifying demon monster?”

Iron Skill Bone muttered pale-faced.

Just then, a faint voice reached his ears, seeming to guide his mind, making him suddenly see the light.

Unconsciously influenced, Iron Skill Bone suddenly had an epiphany and said:

”That’s right! I was thinking wrong...”

”I am a believer of the Barbarian God, I shouldn’t only consider myself.”

”Now that the Barbarian God has such a ’strong enemy,’ I should be considering how to relieve the Barbarian God’s worries, to slaughter the ’strong enemy’...”

”But... how can I kill?”

”That demon monster is so terrifying, I’m no match for it at all.”

”Even though its flesh is only at Foundation Establishment, it dons the skin of a Shaman, worshiped by the fools of the Danque Tribe. I can’t act at all. If I fail, I’m dead without a burial, and I can never serve the Barbarian God again.”

”What should I do...”

Iron Skill Bone held his head with his fingers, the more he thought about it, the more painful it became.

Suddenly, the vision from his dream reappeared.

In his previous dream, the scene of the Barbarian God suppressing the Sword Demon with a single hand, shook Iron Skill Bone’s soul.

Iron Skill Bone paused for a moment, then suddenly slapped himself and then realized:

”That’s right!”

”The Barbarian God has already given me enlightenment; He has directly told me.”

”The Barbarian God sent a dream, meaning to tell me He can suppress this demon monster, this terrifying Sword Bone Demon Monster, no matter how strong its Sword Dao, it’s no match for the Barbarian God’s great divine power.”

”As long as I figure out a way to bring this ’demon monster’ before the Barbarian God, then the Barbarian God will naturally kill this demon monster to relieve Himself of calamity and distress.”

”Yes, the Barbarian God has told me everything.”

”People don’t dream for no reason. Everything in dreams is enlightenment. The dream of the Barbarian God is guiding me.”

”Yes, definitely...”

”But...”

Iron Skill Bone frowned, ”Where exactly is the Barbarian God? What does the Barbarian God exactly look like?”

Iron Skill Bone, a devout believer and ”smart” person, this wouldn’t stump him.

Soon, he understood.

”The Barbarian God must reside in the idol, enjoying the faith of the tribe.”

”But there are many altars in the Shugubu, and many idols, dispersed among different tribes. I don’t know which altar, which idol, is where the Barbarian God is hiding.”

”If so... I can bait with myself, personally luring this ’demon monster’ over, can’t I?”

”Bring this Shaman-disguised ’demon monster’ to the altar of the Barbarian God.”

”Then, the great Barbarian God will naturally kill this demon monster on behalf of me, a devout believer.”

”But... what if it can’t be killed?”

”What if the ’Barbarian God’ is also beheaded by this Sword Bone Demon Monster with one strike?”

Iron Skill Bone was shocked in his heart, then immediately shook his head:

”No, it’s impossible not to kill it, the Barbarian God can’t fail to kill a demon monster—even if this demon monster is incredibly strong.”

”The true Barbarian God will certainly be able to kill.”

”If it can’t be killed, it means... it’s fake, it’s a ’false god.’”

”Being killed by a demon monster is normal for a ’false god.’”

”And what I have to do is continually guide, bringing this ’demon monster’ to the real ’Barbarian God.’

”By that time, the Barbarian God will surely reward my loyalty, bestowing divine grace.”

”Yes, it must be like this.”

Iron Skill Bone, with fanatical eyes, nodded, ”I am the most loyal believer of the Barbarian God!”

”Everything is the guidance of the ’Barbarian God.’”

...

Iron Skill Bone was deeply engrossed in his fanatical devotion to the deity.

And not far from him, in the deep darkness.

Mo Hua, whose Divine Sense already surpassed the Initial Golden Core Iron Skill Bone, stood silently with a broken sword of white bone in hand, watching him with pitch-black eyes.
