This was a desperate situation for Qin Ming, an unprecedented Life and Death Tribulation. Even the Exotic Metal, a material Near Immortal Object, could not penetrate the Old Woman's skull.

But he himself was already covered in blood!

During his Sixth New Life, a strange light was born within him. Regardless of his own condition, even when he was at his weakest, he could still unleash a powerful attack, equivalent to his peak strike, which was related to the Heavenly Light.

Unfortunately, after using it once, it takes him a long time to restore that light.

During his Seventh New Life, a Golden Haze appeared within his body, resembling the Great Sun shattered and mixed with light and mist, much like the Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light.

The two types of light within him shone out one after another, which could be considered a relay attack.

Just now, the Golden Haze within Qin Ming's body, like a golden Great Sun reborn, pierced through the dark clouds. He used the "Pure Yang Blazing Sun" Sword Riding to thrust the pure white sword-shaped pendant deep into the Old Woman's forehead. Even with all his strength, he could only push it in slightly, unable to truly pierce her skull!

Similarly, this seventh "scorching sun" can only last for a moment; after being used once, it takes a long time to recover.

Qin Ming sighed, put away the Exotic Metal Small Sword, and used the last bit of Pure Yang yang energy to slash the Old Woman's body.

During this process, his body was covered in terrifying cracks, both above and below, until light could see through him from front to back; he was essentially torn apart.

Qin Ming was instantly defeated!

He used the Exotic Metal Small Sword, but he couldn't even hurt the Old Woman. And this was under duress.

Qin Ming didn't activate his Heavenly Light Force; he used his special ability without any warning, making it impossible for anyone to defend against.

In the New Life, most of these accompanying "abilities" are rather useless.

He developed two extraordinary abilities in quick succession, each equivalent to his strongest attack!

The Old Woman was only inches away from him. Since she hadn't released the Heavenly Light beforehand, she was initially hit, but her body reacted instinctively and instantly changed the course of the battle.

The Exotic Metal weapon, which was said to be able to Heavenly Light and Divine Wisdom, was actually useless at the moment. It was neutralized by the Old Woman's body's instincts and blocked in an instant.

However, Qin Ming's two abilities did have some effect in wielding the Exotic Metal Small Sword, as it did initially pierce the man's forehead.

The Old Woman screamed in agony, her vision momentarily blacking out, though her instinctive reaction instantly killed her opponent and protected herself from further injury.

But the brain is different from other parts of the body; in the brief moment she loses consciousness, many things can happen. For example, she might have already fallen from the clouds!

Qin Ming gave a bitter laugh, feeling like he was about to die. Was this the oppressive feeling of the Third Realm? He exerted all his strength, but it was still like an ant trying to shake a tree.

This was still an Old Woman at the Spirit Field Initial Realm, who had made no further progress after entering this realm, and could hardly be shaken no matter how much she attacked. Qin Ming's blood stained the clouds and mist as he fell rapidly.

His body was covered with hundreds of cracks, like a fine porcelain piece that had been shattered and then pieced back together.

He was indeed torn apart just now, but at the last moment, he used his Adhesion Force to forcibly bind his body, preventing it from disintegrating and maintaining his human form.

Otherwise, there would probably be many pieces of flesh and blood scattered in the sky, falling down.

Qin Ming realized that his Silk Book Method, which integrated various Heavenly Light Force and incorporated a portion of Consciousness Spirit Light, as well as the Divine Wisdom he had painstakingly cultivated, was not useless; in fact, it possessed a certain "divine" quality.

For example, last time, his power of Heavenly Light merged with his Divine Intent, becoming inseparable, and together they entered the Divine Kingdom of the Giant Centipede.

As it is now, his body has been almost completely dismembered and torn to pieces. If it were any other Heavenly Light Force, its circulation would be disrupted, and he would have been powerless to reverse the situation, inevitably resulting in his body exploding and dying a tragic death.

Qin Ming's Heavenly Light, fused with Divine Wisdom and Consciousness Spirit Light, was like a part of his flesh and spirit, and could still be used, thus sticking to his shattered body.

However, his condition was extremely bad!

At this moment, he was on the verge of despair, and he could already see the Abyss of death descending into which most of his body had fallen.

"You beast!" the Old Woman roared in the night sky, her face distorted and terrifying, blood streaming down her forehead.

Overwhelmed with anger and frustration, she realized that a dignified expert at the Spirit Field Realm had been injured by a New Life Evolver. Her consciousness briefly went black, and she subsequently fell from the clouds.

This was a disgrace to her, like a lion being tripped by a grasshopper and falling face-first into a bloody mess.

"You old bastard!" Qin Ming gritted his teeth, never having felt such resentment before. The Cui Household was like a haunting ghost, constantly appearing around him and posing a deadly threat.

At the same time, he felt ashamed and utterly powerless.

He was instantly killed by the opponent's Spiritual Field and the instinctive outward projection of Heavenly Light, and was blasted away a great distance.

It's better that we're so far apart; otherwise, once the Old Woman regains consciousness, even if she's in the night sky, she would grab him immediately and exact a bloody revenge.

The only part of Qin Ming that is still intact is his head, because at the crucial moment, he used that Torn Cloth to shield himself.

Furthermore, he was significantly taller than the Old Woman, so when her Spiritual Field and Heavenly Light surged forth, her head wasn't shattered. "I guess I've died once!"

Qin Ming was in excruciating pain all over his body. His flesh and blood were forcibly pieced together. If it weren't for the Heavenly Light Force that fused with Consciousness Spirit Light, Divine Wisdom, he would have disintegrated at any moment.

"Qin Ming, you're quite good. You're worthy of being raised by my Cui Household. You managed to hurt me even in the New Life realm. Alright, let's have a good 'chat' on the ground!" The Old Woman recovered and was fine. The Exotic Metal Small Sword pierced her forehead, but it wouldn't kill her. At this moment, her eyes were like lightning as she saw the young man in the distance.

She was hunched over, her expression sinister and cold, staring intently in their direction.

"Your Cui Household has caused me so much pain, and you still have the nerve to be so shameless. I've remembered it all!" Qin Ming muttered weakly to himself. He didn't want to pay attention to the Old Woman; his true power couldn't shake the Cui Household, so saying anything was useless.

"Whether you live or die, you bear the mark of the Cui Household. We raised you, and we treated you as a young master before, and we will treat you as a 'house-born son' from now on. Do you think you can break free?"

The Old Woman emphasized the words "born into the family" so much that Qin Ming was enraged. It was one thing to target him, but to go and humiliate his family was another.

"A fight to the death!" Qin Ming spat out these four words, another trickle of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth. The Old Woman sneered and said, "See you on the ground!"

She reached for her Parachute Pack, glancing coldly in their direction. But the next moment, she was horrified to realize something terrible had happened!

Immediately, she screamed in horror, "No!"

She opened the Parachute Pack, but what appeared was a tattered net. Was this still an umbrella? It was a fishing net, completely unusable.

"Ah!" she screamed shrilly, her face filled with despair. What could she do?

"You!" She realized something, looked at the other person, and two silver lightning bolts shot out from her old eyes. She saw that the other person was showing her a cold smile despite his pain.

"Seeing you like this puts my mind at ease." Qin Ming's voice came from above, his Parachute Pack already open.

He and Li Qingyun had a similar experience of falling from a bird, and he still has psychological trauma from it, so he brought several Parachute Pack. In fact, that's exactly why he was able to save his life this time.

All the other Parachute Pack on his body were shattered, except for the one on his head, which he now painfully wore.

After this incident, Qin Ming's psychological trauma from falling into the air intensified several times over.

The Old Woman was terrified and desperate. Even though she was a master of the Spirit Field Realm, she couldn't withstand such a fall and would die a very tragic death.

She realized that the moment her consciousness returned, the opponent, unable to pierce her body with the Exotic Metal Small Sword, instead shredded her escape Parachute Pack.

"Who can save me?!" Even a master of the Spirit Field Realm is just an ordinary person; she too feels fear and dread. In her final moments, she was no different from any other person.

In the night fog, besides the Old Woman disappearing, a Five-Colored Bottle was also nowhere to be seen. That bottle contained the Heavenly Light Liquid!

He looked away, unsure if he would survive. He had never been so badly injured before.

Upon closer inspection, Qin Ming clearly discovered that all the bones in his limbs and torso were broken, with not a single one intact. Most horrifyingly, his internal organs had also been torn apart and split into many pieces.

Although he was pieced together, his physical functions and once vibrant energy had plummeted to rock bottom.

Overall, when the opponent's Spiritual Field and Heavenly Light expanded, it felt as if he were being torn apart by a pair of giant hands, or as if he had been slashed by many knives.

His body was covered in no fewer than a hundred open wounds, crisscrossing each other. How could a normal New Life Evolver survive? "I still have so many things to do. If I die like this, my life will be full of regrets," he whispered.

But the cruel reality was staring him in the face: his heart was shattered into more than a dozen pieces, and even if pieced back together, it would only be twitching slightly. How could he possibly go on living?!

Qin Ming felt bitter and desperate. Those past scenes flashed before his eyes—those people, those events—like an electric shock, passing through his mind.

It's said that when a person is about to die, their entire life's experiences rush by in an instant. He felt that he might have reached that point. "Grandpa, even now, I don't know where you went or whether you're still alive."

"Parents, I have no recollection of them at all. I don't know if they're still alive. I may have passed away before you." "The Cui Household, get out! Don't waste my last precious moments!"

"Double Tree Village, alas, I can never go back."

"Uncle Meng, Master Li, I have let you down. I am just a New Life Evolver, and I have not made a single ripple on this path."

"Qing Yue, be careful of the other Immortal Seed in the Pure Land, and those shameless Old Senior. I hope you will rise to the top of the Immortal Path, but it seems I will never see that day."

"Ning Siqi, you must become a god! Li Qingxu, it's a pity I didn't have the chance to smash your dog's head in. Cui Chonghe, you're a damn immortal! It's a shame I didn't have time to visit the Cui Household and fight you..."

Qin Ming was landing, still conscious, but his body was about to give out. He used his special Heavenly Light Force to keep it from falling apart.

His heart, spleen, liver, lungs, kidneys, and other organs were shattered into many pieces. Even if they were pieced back together, there was no improvement; they had completely stopped functioning. How could he possibly live? Death was inevitable; it was only a matter of time.

He tried various methods; although the Life Altering Scripture, its effects were not immediate. He searched for books at Xiuting.

The Thunderfire Inner Refinement Method and fire is out of the question; his body cannot withstand such nourishment. More importantly, doing so might kill him instantly, his physical body exploding. As for the Silk Book Method, it seems there's nothing that can be done about it at the moment.

In the night fog, he caught a glimpse of a crystalline, intoxicating blue light, which immediately made his chest feel heavy; it was the Mineral Essence he had preserved for a long time.

He fell into Earth Fissure in Black White Mountain, was exposed to Heavenly Light, his body turned black, and he nearly died. He found this item on a nearby corpse.

During the New Life stage, as long as the person is under nine years old, taking it for the first time can improve their physique and give them a 50% chance of New Life, depending entirely on luck.

Therefore, Qin Ming retained it until now in order to maximize its effectiveness.

This is mainly because he had not lacked the New Life of Spiritual Matter before.

Moreover, Qin Ming's body also has its limits. Although he wasn't stopped by the hurdle of only being able to Fifth New Life a year, he still hasn't "recovered" after his Seventh New Life.

Now, the thumb-sized crystal bottle shattered, spilling Blue Liquid, which he then bound to his body with Adhesion Force. "I haven't even tasted it yet!" Qin Ming was truly unwilling. Should he drink it now?

However, Mineral Essence must be taken when the body is in its best condition, otherwise they may have the opposite effect and cause harm. When he was seriously ill, he dared not take them because of this.

His heart had stopped beating. He checked carefully and found that his lungs had also stopped functioning; he was no longer breathing! This froze Qin Ming's expression. Had he died physically?

He felt his facial expressions go numb; was he about to completely lose consciousness? This was truly a devastating and desperate outcome.

"I'd rather just give you a quick death!"

Qin Ming realized that the reason he hadn't died immediately was probably related to the various Purple Mist, Golden Haze, and Silver Light he had absorbed on that mountain. Wisps of light and mist swirled within his body.

"Hmm, what's that?" Suddenly, he saw a "silver disc" hanging in the distant sky! This... how could it be so similar to the moon described in ancient books?

He was stunned. Where was he?

Shortly after, Qin Ming landed. Although he had Parachute Pack, the impact caused him to bleed profusely again, almost bursting open once more. He lay on the ground, his heart not beating, not breathing. Looking at the surrounding scenery, he felt like he was in a dream; there really was a moon in the distance.

The area was bathed in the soft, hazy moonlight, completely unlike the Black Night World he was used to! "Where am I?" Qin Ming asked, his face filled with bewilderment as he lay dying.

(There's more to come!)
