Chapter 255: Chapter 168: Exploring Ruins, Finding the Spirit Dragon, an Astonishing Discovery of a Body Integration Realm True Immortal! (5k)_2
[Just when you were astonished by the hidden treasure within the formation, the Living Dead Puppet had already attacked from behind.]
[Seeing the puppet approaching, you quickly activated your Origin Force to defend yourself.]
[A fierce battle was about to break out!]
[You fought the puppet for hundreds of rounds, draining much of your Origin Force.]
[The puppet’s attacks gradually weakened, indicating it was also heavily injured.]
[At this rate, you had no confidence in outlasting the puppet.]
[So, while entangled in battle, you observed the treasure site, hoping to discover its secrets.]
[After much contemplation, your gaze landed on the massive bronze stone coffin on the stone platform.]
[For some reason, aside from the initial glance, you always subconsciously ignored this bronze coffin, as if it never existed.]
[This only made you more convinced that the coffin held even greater secrets.]
[You launched a powerful strike to repel the puppet and rushed towards the bronze coffin!]
[Seeing you get closer, the puppet went berserk, desperately trying to stop you.]
[After several more rounds of combat, you were severely injured.]
[But you gritted your teeth, enduring the puppet’s strikes, and with Origin Force wrapped around your fists, you smashed them at the bronze coffin with all your might.]
[Boom, boom, boom!]
[In an instant, the entire ancient tomb trembled violently.]
[You were severely wounded by the puppet and spat out a mouthful of blood.]
[The bronze coffin merely shook a few times before returning to its calm state.]
[Unwilling to give up, you gathered more Origin Force and fiercely struck the bronze coffin again.]
[In the process, you were wounded multiple times; even your Protective Gang Qi was shattered by the puppet.]
[Your breath weakened, and just as you thought you were about to die…]
[An astonishing aura emanated from the bronze coffin, and an ancient voice filled with the weight of countless years resounded.]
[“Who dares disturb my slumber?”]
In the real world, Su Xing was shocked.
“A True Immortal… How can it be a True Immortal?”
Su Xing murmured.
It was well-known that not even a Return to Void Realm cultivator could call themselves a True Immortal.
Only those who reached the Body Integration Realm could be called True Immortals.
As for Mahayana Realm cultivators, they were referred to as True Monarchs!
“Could it be that the one in this bronze coffin is a powerful cultivator at the Integration Phase?”
Su Xing found it hard to believe.
Divinity Transformation cultivators lived for a millennium, while Return to Void cultivators lived for three millennia.
Integration Phase cultivators lived for six millennia… Mahayana Realm cultivators lived for ten millennia!
This was just the basic lifespan for cultivators in these realms.
Divinity Transformation cultivators, even if they did nothing, could live for a thousand years.
But if they consumed various longevity-enhancing spiritual medicines during this time…
Integration Phase cultivators living for seven or eight millennia was not difficult.
“Doesn’t this mean… the one in this bronze coffin has lived for seven or eight thousand years?”
Su Xing felt a heavy weight in his heart.
If it were truly an Integration Phase cultivator, Su Xing’s intrusion into the ancient tomb, disturbing its slumber, would mean certain death…
He looked at the simulation panel.
[You stared wide-eyed, watching the figure emerge from the bronze coffin.]
[Just the aura alone made you lose all will to resist.]
[A young man in a blue robe slowly walked out of the bronze coffin, his demeanor otherworldly.]
[And yet, you sensed a hint of decay and age from him, making you uncertain if he was even alive…]
[This aura resembled that of the Living Dead Puppet, but not entirely the same.]
[You knew better than to judge a cultivator’s age by appearance.]
[Nascent Soul Stage cultivators remained youthful until their lifespan ended, whereupon their appearance would rapidly age.]
[And some cultivators had methods to retain their youthful appearance, looking like children even after living for thousands of years.]
[You looked at the powerful cultivator who called himself a True Immortal, and he also quietly observed you.]
[Strangely, after this young man awoke, the Living Dead Puppet stood motionless at the side.]
[This made you even more certain that this True Immortal was the master of this ancient tomb.]
[The blue-robed True Immortal silently observed you, and you felt as if he could see through your very soul.]
[His eyes flashed with surprise as he noticed you practiced the Changchun Technique, and he asked if you were a cultivator of the Wan Mu Sect, and inquired about the current year.]
[For the sake of your life, you answered truthfully.]
[After hearing your response, he remained silent for a moment, lost in thought.]
[But then, he noticed the Spirit Dragon being suppressed by the bronze coffin, and his eyes lit up with joy and greed.]
[Earlier, he had loudly exclaimed: “Ha ha ha~ I never thought True Person Wan Mu’s sacrifice of the world’s Spirit Veins would truly cultivate a young Spirit Dragon!”]
[But before he could laugh for long, he noticed the black aura enveloping the young dragon.]
[His expression changed dramatically, as if he realized something had changed within himself.]
[Rage, sorrow, rebellion, and dissatisfaction… all these complex emotions flashed across True Person Wan Mu’s face in an instant.]
[Then he looked at you with hatred in his eyes.]
[Without saying a word, he casually waved his hand and crushed your physical body…]
[He then swallowed your divine soul whole.]
[You died!]
[Your talent of “Unyielding Soul” activated.]
[You saw the dazed expression of the cultivator who called himself True Person Wan Mu, as if he were muttering to himself…]
