The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing approached the entrance of the eastern cave with Huang Ziwan, but his steps faltered slightly.

Just as they were about to step into the cave, Yu Dachuan, failing to find his main body, couldn't help but let out a desperate roar.

Huang Ziwan understood intuitively and immediately stood in front of Ren Qing to block the tide of insects.

Ren Qing nodded and then closed his eyes.

Yu Dachuan was on the verge of collapse, his soul about to be torn in two under the influence of the strange object and the forbidden zone.

Before his death, he regained some of his sanity, constantly muttering the name of the water gourd, his tone filled with unwillingness.

After finishing the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts, it wouldn't have been difficult for Yu Dachuan to reach the third level of distortion; the remaining decades of his life would have been enough to challenge the Yin Official Realm.

Now, his grand ambitions had turned into a bubble.

"At least… all… the jailers… will be buried here…"

His consciousness gradually dissipated, and the intense pain from his soul caused him to tremble all over.

Suddenly, Yu Dachuan noticed his own shadow wriggling, and he couldn't help but look horrified, his mind filled with disbelief.

He quickly realized what was happening, having seen similar techniques during the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts.

It seemed that Ren Qing was not dead and had secretly left arrangements.

The ghost shadow spat out a mass of strange matter.

The strange matter showed signs of coming to life, gradually forming the appearance of a beast.

The sound of the rice stalk giant's footsteps rang out as it walked towards the strange matter, casually swatting thousands of zombie insect-men to death along the way.

Yu Dachuan wanted to expel the ghost shadow, but his body was no longer under his control.

He could only watch helplessly as the rice stalk giant approached, the state of his soul deteriorating further under the terrifying pressure.

When push came to shove, Yu Dachuan became interested, muttering to himself, "Ren Qing, Ren Qing, what's the use of this move?"

"If it's just to attract the consciousness of the forbidden zone, it's meaningless."

He didn't think Ren Qing could escape the forbidden zone, but he always wanted to see what was special about this person, so as to gain the appreciation of the Yin Official Realm.

The rice stalk giant was about to reach the stove, and the ghost shadow wriggled again.

This time, it spat out a body shaped like a gourd.

Yu Dachuan was stunned for a moment, then became furious, not expecting to be defeated by Ren Qing.

Even if he didn't want to become a chess piece, the strange matter in his soul actively made a choice, and his soul left the puppet body and merged into the main body.

The rice stalk giant was close at hand, able to grab Yu Dachuan with a stretch of its hand, but it first went to deal with the fleeing strange matter.

Yu Dachuan couldn't help but show a hint of a wry smile.

The corpse food on his tongue was subconsciously swallowed into his stomach, and his originally collapsing body was somewhat relieved, as was his soul.

He looked at the rice stalk giant.

Yu Dachuan used his consciousness to control the zombie insect-men to fly over, then bit off their limbs with his teeth and forcibly attached them to his body.

He stiffly took out the slip of paper from his back molars, which only had one line written on it.

"Stall!! I'll kill the water gourd!!"

Such a blatant scheme, there was no way to avoid it.

Yu Dachuan's face was full of complexity, and finally he shook his head helplessly.

"Good one, Ren Qing, I wonder if I'll still have consciousness after I die, if there's even a trace left, I'll be able to see this forbidden zone destroyed sooner or later."

Yu Dachuan's body emitted a dense corpse aura, and the strange matter was gradually deepening the alienation, making him feel unprecedented power.

Yu Dachuan roared to the sky.

"Roar!!!"

………

Ren Qing nodded slightly, with this, the odds increased by another twenty percent.

"Let's go, we have at most half an incense stick's time."

He took out the plant-based puppet body again, and after the split soul possessed it, he still needed the main soul to suppress it from being affected by the forbidden zone.

Huang Ziwan didn't hesitate to dissolve the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, blocking attacks from behind.

The two quickly walked towards the depths.

The split soul's speed was not fast, but it was clearly guiding them.

Ren Qing let out a long breath, the forbidden zone was indeed following specific rules, at least the Ghost Envoy Realm forbidden zone was.

However, they hadn't gone far when they discovered the lizardmen's tracks, and they were hiding in the shadows, ready to attack at any time.

Upon seeing this, the ghost shadow strangled the lizardmen into corpses.

But this action was like a stone breaking the calm surface of the water, and strange creatures came one after another, almost frantically rushing towards Ren Qing and Huang Ziwan.

On the contrary, the split soul was not attacked.

Huang Ziwan used his huge body to stand in front, allowing the two to advance quickly towards the depths.

Ren Qing could feel the split soul's intelligence becoming more and more chaotic, even indirectly affecting the main soul, and he couldn't help but frown.

Moreover, as they got closer and closer to the exit, the strength of the strange creatures they encountered also increased.

"The progress is too slow."

Ren Qing could sense Yu Dachuan's state; the other party shouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Yu Dachuan could have used the strange matter to expel the ghost shadow, but he didn't, wanting Ren Qing to be mentally prepared.

"Old Huang, step aside."

Huang Ziwan immediately flashed away from in front of Ren Qing, and the strange mouth in the latter's palm opened, and thousands of zombie insect-men poured out from it.

They instinctively wanted to obtain flesh and blood, and fought with the swarms of strange creatures.

Ren Qing used the Dragon Snake Spine to roll up the split soul, and the frequency of his legs gradually increased, even directly crashing through any strange creatures in front of him.

Huang Ziwan was in charge of the rear, and in just a few minutes, they had passed several forks in the road.

The two suddenly stopped.

There were two blood-red eyes in the darkness not far away.

The chameleon strange creature let out bursts of hissing, its limbs gripping the walls, and even Ren Qing's gaze could not easily capture it.

"Old Huang, be careful."

After Ren Qing issued a reminder, he immediately charged out with his legs accumulating power.

The ghost shadow was almost impossible to kill in the darkness, and the strength it blessed was also significantly improved, there was no reason to wait passively.

The chameleon strange creature's head cracked open, forming a bloody mouth, but unfortunately it only bit the phantom left by Ren Qing.

Ren Qing instantly appeared above the chameleon strange creature.

His right fist simply accumulated power, then struck hard.

The scales suddenly cracked.

Both fists landed on the same spot, and as the scales shattered, the Dragon Snake Spine pierced through its body.

Huang Ziwan opened his mouth wide, wasn't it said that the split soul required distraction, how did it feel like even a Ghost Envoy Realm strange creature couldn't withstand a few moves.

"What are you thinking about, let's go quickly."

Ren Qing hurriedly urged.

Just now, the ghost shadow on Yu Dachuan's body had completely dissipated.

It wasn't because of death, but because he was completely eroded by the alienation of the strange matter, and the confrontation with the forbidden zone had become fierce.

Huang Ziwan quickly followed, he couldn't help but look back.

The chameleon strange creature's injuries were gradually recovering, its aura becoming stronger, and it wouldn't be long before it caught up.

Ren Qing wanted to collect the chameleon strange creature, but after all, it was already in the Ghost Envoy Realm, and it was difficult to completely seal it in the abdominal prison.

Moreover, it would attract the consciousness of the forbidden zone.

Several more strange creatures pounced, and now ordinary strange creatures were hard to see, it was obvious that the strange creatures in the entire cave were gathering.

They were caught in an endless battle.

However, the two cooperated extremely well, and there were almost no flaws in their mutual attack and defense transitions.

Gradually, after the strange creatures were killed, the characteristics of their bodies related to reproduction gradually disappeared, becoming more and more suitable for hunting.

Huang Ziwan's breathing was rapid.

Even with poison on his body, there would always be times when it ran out, and if he had to fight the strange creatures hand-to-hand, he would be torn to pieces in a few rounds.

But he could already see the stone wall at the end in the distance, presumably that was the exit.

The forbidden zone quaked again.

The jailers outside began to attack, and the time left for them was running out.

Ren Qing was slightly aggrieved, the split soul was affecting him all the time, so he had to stay focused.

If the split soul returned to the body, according to the rules of the forbidden zone, the terrain might change immediately.

He had a bad feeling, and then the sound of rice husk flowing sounded again, Yu Dachuan had ultimately failed to hold on.

The giant human face quickly approached, and the strange creatures actively made way.

While Huang Ziwan was stunned, his shoulders were bitten hard by two strange creatures, and their sharp teeth tore off a large piece of flesh.

"Hiss…"

He instinctively used poison to stop the bleeding, but it was obvious that the poison was not enough, and part of his body was exposed to the claws and teeth of the strange creatures.

The strange creatures concentrated their siege on Huang Ziwan, and the latter's parrying gradually became weak.

"Ren Qing, you go…"

Huang Ziwan said weakly, he had already prepared to sacrifice himself.

Upon seeing this, Ren Qing forcefully swung the Dragon Snake Spine, rolled up Huang Ziwan and put him into the abdominal prison, and grabbed the neck of the chameleon strange creature with his left hand.

He ran wildly carrying the strange creature, and his narrowed eyes looked at the latter.

The strange creature was inexplicably attracted by Ren Qing's eyes, and its struggling movements stopped.

"What do you see in my eyes?"

The strange creature discovered that there seemed to be a black spot in Ren Qing's pupils that was magnifying.

As the black spot got closer and closer, a terrifying wolf seemed to be about to leap out of it.

The ghost wolf drilled out of his eyes, and its body, which swelled to five meters high, could touch the top of the cave, and with a sweep of its arms, the surrounding strange creatures flew out.

Even the giant face hesitated for a moment.

After all, the ghost wolf had mutated to the extreme, and even though the Strange Realm Intergrowth could only summon a projection, the momentum it displayed was far from that of the Ghost Envoy Realm.

Ren Qing took the opportunity to reach within a hundred meters of the exit.

His intelligence became blurred, but his steps would not stop at all, escaping from the forbidden zone had long become an instinct in his heart.

Huff!!!

The giant face blew out a cold wind from its mouth, and the technique belonging to Wan Qi was displayed, the temperature inside the cave dropped sharply, and frost spread from the ground.

Just as Ren Qing was about to come into contact with the frost, he forcefully threw the split soul into the exit.

Then he transformed into a ghost wolf.

His legs pressed down.

Spider web-like cracks appeared under his feet.

Boom!!!

Ren Qing's leg bones snapped in response, and then he turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.

His body crashed heavily into the stone wall, feeling a slight resistance when passing through, but fortunately there was no danger.

"Too bad, I should have missed the Immortal Devouring Art…"

But when he was shuttling between the mortal realm and the forbidden zone, he felt like he had touched something again.

[Immortal Devouring Art]

[Can consume ten years of life to master without cost]

Ren Qing widened his eyes, and the remaining instinct chose to confirm.

The forbidden zone's consciousness was filled with impotent rage, and the walls and windows in the kitchen were simultaneously covered with cracks, and tombstones stood up from between the bricks.

The strange creatures shed their flesh and blood, turning into decayed corpses and throwing themselves into the stove as firewood.

Black flames burned fiercely.

Under the circumstances of devouring a large number of strange creatures, coupled with Ren Qing's stimulation, the forbidden zone underwent earth-shattering changes.

Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Ren Qing anymore.
