"If I hadn't given up on ascension back then, I'd probably be just like you now—a corpse of an immortal, manipulated by others!" Shi Jin said softly as he looked at the immortal corpse suppressed by the Amenominaka realm not far away.
He had not entered Tailed Beast Transformation, nor had he used any other spells. As an alchemist, Shi Jin was not skilled in combat, but that did not mean he had no way of dealing with the immortal corpse before him.

"As you wish!"
Shi Jin nodded and looked up at the sky.

"Red Spider Lily, combined with the Clear Void Seven Hearts Lamp—this pill is enough to slay an immortal!"
As Shi Jin's words fell, he waved his right hand, and a beam of seven-colored light shot out from the pill
