A Breakthrough in Battle, a Plunge into the River
Bones were crushed, and flesh was dismembered.
Unable to breathe, unable to move, unable to resist.
Only the familiar pain and hunger reminded him that he was still alive.
The Ghoul's powerful regenerative abilities were still stubbornly functioning; he could clearly sense himself being constantly crushed, repaired, and crushed again.
Ah, how long has it been since I've had something like this?
After growing a scorpion tail and becoming Half-Kakuja, he probably hasn't suffered any near-death injuries since.
As for being deconstructed and reconstructed countless times like this, it seems that I haven't experienced it since leaving "home".
How I miss that painful, helpless feeling of frustration!
The lack of oxygen caused his brain to become muddled, and memories of his past life flashed by slowly and steadily like film reels in an old-fashioned movie projector.
A hazy childhood, an unforgettable adolescence, a turbulent youth, a wanton killing spree, and a final celebration before death.
Together they constitute Shisui's soul, which is mixed and mingled with Shisui's current physical body.
Then, in his dying consciousness, Shisui asked himself again, "Do you want to become someone else's 'food'?"
The dying consciousness did not answer.
His soul and body fell into a brief stillness.
However, clinging to a mere sliver of life by the will to survive, the shattered body was once again reassembled by the soul.
On the mountaintop where Qiongfang City was located, Tumen Feiying stopped crushing Shisui into even smaller pieces.
He sensed the body and, finding it no longer self-repairing, confirmed its complete death.
A rumbling sound suddenly came from the direction of Embracing Moon Peak, instantly attracting Tumen Feiying's attention.
He realized that something was likely wrong at Embracing Moon Peak, so he decided not to linger any longer.
He rubbed his temples as the mild migraine he had been experiencing from using his talent for an extended period gradually subsided.
"Things to be careful about when you're reincarnated in your next life."
If you were to be sent to the Demon Race, and if you were a genius, I would definitely protect you.
Tumen Feiying turned around, casually shutting down her extremely Psychic Energy- consuming talent, and prepared to fly towards Embracing Moon Peak.
Suddenly, his body stiffened for a moment, and his blood seemed to freeze.
That strange pause lasted less than a millisecond, but it was enough.
The next moment, the sharp tail needle pierced his brainstem through the gap in his neck bones.
The Profound Realm level [Bone-Deep Rot] suddenly activated!
He had no way to avoid it; his fragile brain was directly confronted with a terrifyingly potent poison whose destructive power was doubled.
Although the poison from the Profound Realm ultimately could not kill a Second Realm Earth Realm cultivator.
However, it was more than enough to keep Tumen Feiying, who was not at his peak, firmly rooted in place.
Then, the sharp Steel Feathers Ukaku through the gaps in his neck bones, easily severing his head after penetrating the skin's defenses.
With his head severed from his body, Tumen Feiying completely lost control of his body.
Even though he is not dead yet, he has one foot in the grave.
Shisui watched his fallen body, the Eight- Bikaku, which had just recovered, instantly buried itself in it and began to frantically absorb Psychic Energy.
He then cradled Tumen Feiying's head, turned it halfway around, and made sure the other person was facing him.
At this moment, Tumen Feiying was still conscious, realized that Shisui's head had not been fully restored, and half of his body was still a bloody mess.
White bone fragments dotted the bright red, while exposed strands of bright red tubes twisted and tangled haphazardly.
Shisui's body was rapidly repairing itself, and his advancement to the Profound Realm had also exponentially enhanced his Rc Cells.
The most obvious improvement is Shisui's amazing survival and self-repair capabilities.
Near-immortality—this is a state that countless cultivators dream of.
Tumen Feiying only had a head, did not stare at the headless monster for too long.
He was crushed.
Just as he crushed Shisui inch by inch.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been so easily caught out and killed.
However, he believed that the gap between himself and Shisui was too vast, and Shisui was too abnormal.
Tumen Feiying was originally the weakest of the three chosen by Shisui from the three Earth Realm.
Originally a semi-crippled Earth Realm due to injury, it would undoubtedly crush ordinary Yellow Realm cultivators, and would also easily defeat Profound Realm cultivators.
However, you'll have to be careful if you want to fight Shisui, who has advanced to the Profound Realm.
Bikaku absorbed and transformed the Psychic Energy of the powerful beings in the Earth Realm, Shisui's body rapidly recovered.
Behind him, the specially enhanced stinger of the scorpion's tail almost disappeared in the sunlight.
It only flashes a chilling dark light from certain angles.
Tumen Feiying casually pulled out the needle, but her indifferent expression ultimately provoked Shisui.
The arrangement of Rc Cells in the Bikaku's tail was significantly altered, enabling the manufacture of injection needles of different sizes.
The smallest of these is extremely fine and hard, even capable of penetrating the gaps between cells.
As for [Bone-Deep Rot], it wasn't developed in a way that was lethal; instead, skill points were used for control.
Therefore, Tumen Feiying was restrained for a mere second before having his head severed.
A moment later, Shisui fully recovered and returned to his normal self.
Then, he sensed the intensity of the Spatial Turbulence.
The space's self-healing ability is at work, and most of the turbulence has been calmed down.
Although his cultivation level is not yet stable, he is temporarily unable to teleport.
However, he could still manage to traverse the relatively minor Spatial Turbulence and leave the space he had deliberately created.
Shisui brandished his Ukaku and swiftly darted out of the Spatial Turbulence. In mid-air, he glanced at the chaotic Qiongfang City.
We've already gotten enough this time; there's no need to risk my life, which I just barely escaped, for a little bit of petty gain.
Having made up his mind, he stopped paying attention to the turmoil below.
Shisui Sui gathered his Ukaku, Koukaku instantly appeared, enveloping his entire body. Then, he plunged towards the winding Wunu River.
The Wunu River is currently being ignored, and the dense Psychic Energy mist has not yet completely dissipated.
This is currently the safest route for Shisui to conceal his whereabouts and escape Qiongfang City.
Shortly after he disappeared into the river, the two Demon Race who had gone to Embracing Moon Peak returned to the mountaintop of Qiongfang City.
Since Snow Spirit was gone from Embracing Moon Peak and Shisui had planted a bomb on it, they naturally found nothing.
Therefore, they immediately left Embracing Moon Peak, intending to inform their superior—the Heaven Realm powerhouse Moluoke— of the current situation at Embracing Moon Peak.
While mistakes at work will certainly be punished, failing to report them can be fatal.
They walked back, only to realize later that they hadn't encountered Tumen Feiying.
"That's strange, why isn't that guy here yet?"
"We can't have been defeated by someone from the Yellow Realm, can we?"
Do you think it's possible?
"Impossible, he only has some minor injuries, he's not crippled."
"So, he probably went somewhere to slack off."
"Tsk, I'll have to go to Lord Moro's place later and report him!"
I second that!
When they arrived at the top of Qiongfang City, they only saw the lingering effects of Spatial Turbulence and a scene of utter devastation.
"No, he really went to slack off?"
"Forget it, let's go report on Embracing Moon Peak first. He has Soul Contract with the camp; are you worried about not finding him?"
"That's right, let's hurry up and get going, don't let it delay our business."
