Defying Heaven to Change Fate!
Twenty years later.
At the summit of Immortal Dust Mountain in the Central Plains.
Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged atop the mountain, gazing at the vast sea of clouds and looking towards the horizon.
Around him.
A Golden Light flashed, tracing countless paths.
Lu Qingfeng extended his palm, Golden Light fell into his palm, revealing his true form—
It is shaped like a silkworm and is golden in color.
It was indeed the 'Golden Silkworm Gu'.
The Golden Silkworm Gu is extremely difficult to refine, and for Lu Qingfeng to refine it in the Heavenly Shaman Realm, where cultivation has disappeared, is even more difficult. Fortunately, he unified the realm with the Yin Talisman Sect and exhausted the resources of the realm, which allowed him to barely gather the materials for both sets.
The first attempt to refine it failed.
The second attempt was successful.
After nearly two hundred years, he finally refined the Golden Silkworm Gu before his death in his previous life.
The road was paved in a past life.
Enjoy it in this life.
"Shoot!"
Lu Qingfeng formed a hand seal, and the Golden Silkworm Gu actually burrowed into his flesh from his palm. The flesh was so clear that a Golden Silkworm could be seen moving through it.
It runs straight down the arm and lies coiled in the heart.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
His heart pounded, his blood flowed freely. The Golden Silkworm Gu devoured him greedily, continuously drawing upon Lu Qingfeng's heart's blood.
Lu Qingfeng's face quickly turned pale.
But his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Internal Breath circulation, the Method Formula is in the mind.
The Golden Silkworm Gu, which had been resting peacefully in the heart, consuming the host's blood to nourish itself, was suddenly startled, sensing the terror of Life and Death. Its body stiffened abruptly, and its bright eyes darted around, revealing fear.
Lu Qingfeng remained unmoved.
One after another, hand seals were cast, binding and sealing the heart.
The Golden Silkworm Gu was terrified and tried to escape.
The hand seals and seals transformed into a hazy veil, enveloping the Golden Silkworm Gu. The Golden Silkworm Gu suddenly surged forward, actually bursting out of Lu Qingfeng's heart and rampaging wildly within his body.
Click!
Click!
The Golden Silkworm Gu was charging around in all directions, making noises as it gnawed on something.
"Ah!"
"It hurts, it hurts!"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
Lu Qingfeng roared to the sky, overwhelmed by pain far worse than Life and Death, pain far worse than being cursed to death. Lu Qingfeng felt as if his soul was being devoured.
It was gradually devoured by the Golden Silkworm Gu.
Each bite sent shivers down his spine, and only a roar could relieve the pain.
He was hoarse and exhausted.
It was excruciating.
On Immortal Dust Mountain, countless disciples of the Yin Talisman Sect were terrified. They had no idea what had happened on the mountain that had caused their immortal-like sect leader to roar in such fury.
However, the sect leader strictly forbade members of the Yin Talisman Sect from Immortal Dust Mountain.
The disciples could only guess, and dared not offend.
Immortal Dust Mountain.
Lu Qingfeng was drenched in sweat, his face was deathly pale, and he roared and rolled on the ground, crashing into rocks.
Bang!
Boom!
The rocks were hard, yet Lu Qingfeng smashed them to pieces. Bloodstains appeared all over Lu Qingfeng's body, and the sound of bones breaking was mixed with his howling roars.
His hair was disheveled, and he looked like a madman!
I don't know how much time passed.
Perhaps it was just a moment.
Perhaps a century.
The Unseen, an immense terror descended from an unknown place, engulfing Lu Qingfeng.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
Sensing this immense terror, the Golden Silkworm Gu grew even more frenzied, like a trapped beast descending into hysterical madness.
Lu Qingfeng roared.
From the boundless pain, he felt this immense terror. It was as if the entire world was staring at him. A mysterious and profound existence flickered in Lu Qingfeng's mind—
"Fate!"
Lu Qingfeng's voice was hoarse, and he was almost exhausted.
As great terror descends.
Boom!
The Golden Silkworm Gu, which had been rampaging through his body, was instantly reduced to dust and wiped away from the world.
"Puff!"
With his natal Gu destroyed, Lu Qingfeng was struck as if by a heavy blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression quickly became listless, and even his aura weakened, exuding an aura of twilight.
"I--"
The pain subsided, Lu Qingfeng lay on the ground, his mind blank.
"Who I am?"
Where am I?
What am I doing?
As the great terror subsided and his strength gradually returned, Lu Qingfeng's consciousness revived, and memories flooded back like a tide—
"I am Lu Qingfeng."
"I am in the Heavenly Shaman Realm."
"I'm defying fate!"
Lu Qingfeng was covered in blood, but his eyes suddenly became brighter and brighter, extremely bright.
Name: Lu Qingfeng
Lifespan: 20/34
[Root Bone: 4]
Lu Qingfeng opened the attribute list, saw the data changes, and felt relieved.
The thought just occurred to me.
A puppet arrived and quietly led Lu Qingfeng away from Immortal Dust Mountain, where they hid in a secluded place to recuperate.
After the injury healed.
Lu Qingfeng logged out of the game and regained consciousness.
[Name: Lu Qingfeng (True Identity)]
Lifespan: 35/300
[Root Bone: 1]
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
Really.
The "fate" in the game is primarily based on "fate" in reality. Simply defying fate in the game will not bring any changes to your real life.
"On the contrary."
"If you succeed in defying fate in reality, you will be reborn in the game with the same attributes as in reality, and you will have the same attributes for all eternity."
"Root Bone is always 4."
Lu Qingfeng had long understood that his Root Bone had not changed in reality, so he was not disappointed.
Since it's possible to defy fate in games.
In reality, it's only a matter of time.
Lu Qingfeng closed the Attribute Panel and prepared to get up and move around. But he found himself completely weak, as if he had been pulled out of the water, and almost collapsed to the ground.
"This--"
Lu Qingfeng frowned slightly.
The pain in the game must have been so intense that, through a sliver of consciousness, he could inflict that pain on his real-life body. This caused his real-life form to suffer as well, nearly collapsing from exhaustion.
"I thought my junior brother was truly unafraid of the punishments in the Profound Yin Cavern."
"Looking at it now—"
Lu Qingfeng leaned against the wall and saw Zhou Su looking at him with a hint of mockery.
Lu Qingfeng's true form had just endured pain and was now weak. Zhou Su saw this and mocked him.
"It's better than my senior sister's heart-wrenching cries every night at midnight."
Lu Qingfeng simply didn't stand up and sat cross-legged on the ground.
The game spans three lifetimes, spanning 172 years.
Lu Qingfeng and Zhou Su spent a year and eight months in the Profound Yin Cavern. The Profound Yin Cavern's punishments were both internal and external, and neither Foundation Establishment cultivators nor Spirit Void Cultivator could withstand them.
Zhou Su had fought against demons and monsters outside, and had experienced Life and Death and witnessed great scenes.
However, the wailing continued every night inside the Profound Yin Cavern.
The Profound Yin Cavern experiences its most intense and painful cold winds at midnight every night. Normally, Zhou Su could endure it with sheer willpower, but at midnight, it exceeded his limit.
"Just sharp-tongued and quick-witted."
"If you're so capable, come out of the Profound Yin Cavern and join me on Fierce Fang Island to slay demons and monsters?"
Zhou Su scoffed.
"I am a genius Alchemist. If I were to go to the front lines with you, would you, Senior Sister, be planning to take this opportunity to harm your fellow disciples?!" Lu Qingfeng sneered.
Playing games year after year is too grueling.
If he doesn't speak more in reality and experience authenticity, even with the "Yellow Court Scripture" to uphold his true self, Lu Qingfeng worries that he might lose himself in it.
Previously, there was Qingyu, but now we can only make do with Zhou Su.
"Tsk tsk."
Despite being so weak, his verbal skills remain undiminished.
Zhou Su stood up, a charming smile on her face, and walked towards Lu Qingfeng.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The chains rattled and made a sound, but Lu Qingfeng remained seated cross-legged on the ground, his expression unchanged.
"Treat yourself to stay calm!"
Zhou Su suddenly accelerated and threw a punch, aiming straight for Lu Qingfeng's face.
"Karmic Obstruction — Mind Obscuration!"
A strange force field descended, enveloping Zhou Su. Zhou Su felt as if a thousand wild bulls were pounding in her heart. In a panic, the scene before her eyes vanished instantly; she could no longer see the sky, the ground, or Lu Qingfeng.
Bang!
The punch landed, but the force was greatly reduced.
Lu Qingfeng tilted his head slightly.
The punch slammed into the wall behind him, shattering countless stones.
Zhou Su stumbled around.
"Karmic Obstruction — Earth-Obscuring!"
When the spiritual light in his dantian disappeared, Zhou Su felt weak and sore all over, and almost collapsed to the ground.
"The Zhurong Demon God!"
Lu Qingfeng stared at Zhou Su, and a Flame Demon God burst forth from his body. He then subdued his own flames and raised his fist to strike.
Bang!
Boom!
With nothing in Zhou Su's eyes and unable to activate his True Essence, he was completely unable to break through the 'Karmic Obstruction' cast by Lu Qingfeng. With no way to dodge, he was immediately sent flying far away by a punch.
As soon as it crashed to the ground, a strong gust of wind came.
"Lu Qingfeng!"
Zhou Su roared.
Bang bang bang!
The Zhurong Demon God showed no mercy and didn't stop. He unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, relentlessly pounding Zhou Su. Zhou Su was like a sandbag, sometimes slamming to the ground, sometimes crashing into the wall!
Just as the calamity was about to subside, Lu Qingfeng had a sudden thought. The fire dragon beneath the feet of the Zhurong Demon God lashed out with its tail, sending Zhou Su flying a great distance. The demon god then turned and crashed into Lu Qingfeng's body before disappearing.
Bang!
Zhou Su landed with a loud bang.
"Lu-Qing-Feng!"
Whoosh!
Profound Yin Cavern, a chilling wind blew, mixed with Zhou Su's suppressed growls. Lu Qingfeng calmly raised his head and looked through the darkness and the chilling wind. He saw that Zhou Su's face was fierce, but his clothes were disheveled and his face was bruised and swollen.
His long, disheveled hair made him look even more like a madman.
"Senior sister, please have some self-respect."
Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you!
Lu Qingfeng and Zhou Su's eyes met, then Lu Qingfeng closed his eyes and ignored her.
Zhou Su thought he could be bullied because he was weak, but she was really wrong.
Outside the Profound Yin Cavern, Lu Qingfeng might still be somewhat afraid of her. But Profound Yin Cavern, the yin winds were bone-chilling and soul-refining, and all his True Essence was sealed. With just his physical body, Lu Qingfeng had countless ways to ravage Zhou Su.
The Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities is even more unsolvable.
Zhou Su could only suffer a setback.
"Lu Qingfeng!"
"Lu Qingfeng!"
Zhou Su gritted her teeth, her whole body aching, and her heart filled with boundless hatred.
"Wait for me!"
"Wait for me to get out!"
"Once I get out of here, I'll definitely—"
"Hiss--"
"Ah!"
Before she could make up her mind, midnight arrived, and a chilling wind howled, growing several times stronger. A gust of cold wind swept in, shattering Zhou Su's spirit, and she screamed in agony.
Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, got up, and walked a little further away.
At midnight, the yin wind was strong. Zhou Su had been tormented for twenty months, but he still could not bear it. He could only relieve it by roaring. His mind was completely occupied by the pain and he could not spare any attention.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Qingfeng went to a corner.
While moving around.
Jumang Demon God, landed behind him and stared at Zhou Su.
Lu Qingfeng stood in a corner, out of Zhou Su's sight. He flicked his hand in his Storage Bag, and a bronze furnace landed in front of him. It was extremely small at first, but it grew huge as it was exposed to the wind.
In vivo.
The Zhurong Demon God emerged from Lu Qingfeng's chest, its mouth and nostrils spewing forth Zhurong Divine Flame. Fire dragons beneath its feet and fire snakes beside its ears emerged from Lu Qingfeng's sides, spitting out Dutian Blazing Fire.
In a short time.
Lu Qingfeng seemed to have Three Heads and Six Arms.
With a wave of his hand, the Storage Bag fell into the air, and refining materials fell one by one.
Begin refining the weapon.
