Fusing Souls Again
"How is this possible? It's just a mere insect!!" The Liu Feng's Inner Demon collapsed to the ground, struggling incessantly. However, with all the tendons in his hands and feet severed, he was powerless. The feeling of being easily defeated constantly irritated the inner demon. Finally, the Clear Heart Record, with its words clearly etched in his mind, lit up. The powerless inner demon was once again imprisoned in the infinite abyss of his heart.
Liu Feng regained his composure, looking at the pale red blood around him, feeling a chill run through his body. If this continued, he feared he would die in the torrential rain. Was this still a game? Liu Feng asked himself blankly. If he were to die here like an insect, then he would be an insect forever!
It's okay if bones are broken, as long as you can stand up again. But if your heart is also broken and you can never stand up again, then that person's life is ruined. Under Liu Feng's control, it turned into gauze and other materials to wrap the limbs and stop the bleeding.
With a muffled thud, something seemed to fall in the distance. The dark clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate, and soon the sun reappeared, which made Liu Feng breathe a slight sigh of relief. If the heavy rain had continued, he probably would have frozen to death.
The sunlight shone on Liu Feng, warm and comforting, making him want to fall asleep. Had this game really ended in failure? Liu Feng wondered to himself. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a tiger's roar, as if by fate, a tiger appeared before Liu Feng once more.
Liu Feng now has two choices: give up on this instance, admit his failure, resign himself to death, or be killed by the tiger, thus casting a shadow over his heart and never having the chance to escape it for the rest of his life.
Another option is that his skills remain. Even without the Sword Bone bonus, he still has a chance to kill the tiger by unleashing sword energy. Then, with the help of his inner demon, he can choose to fuse with the Soul again. By using the inhuman transformation of fusion, he might be able to heal himself, but it will also strengthen his inner demon once more.
"I don't want to lose my whole life!" Liu Feng wasn't even sure what he was thinking. He turned his head to look at the approaching tiger, slightly opened his mouth, activated his skill bar, and mobilized his inner energy, which then transformed into a pale yellow longsword that shot out from Liu Feng's mouth, piercing through the tiger's neck and leaving a trail of blood mist.
The inner demon that had bound his hands and feet to stop the bleeding transformed into ink once more, seeping into Liu Feng's body and forming a skateboard. Liu Feng twisted his head, biting the mud to slide across, and began to drink the blood that was flowing from the tiger's wound.
With the help of his inner demons, Liu Feng completed the preparatory ritual once again. Looking at the tiger soul on the tiger's body, he chuckled and crawled over to begin the second Tiger Soul Body-Fusion Art.
The transparent tiger's soul, under the influence of Liu Feng's blood, began to Integration Liu Feng's body. Pain struck again, causing Liu Feng to writhe on the ground like a worm. A defiant thought rose in Liu Feng's heart: Even if I am still like a worm today, I want to grow bones and Avatar into a dragon in the future!
Boundless malevolent energy surged into Liu Feng's mind once again, impacting Liu Feng will. However, the Clear Heart Record continued to work its magic, and since the inner demon had also suffered a heavy blow before, it did not find an opportunity to crawl out of the abyss of his heart even after the soul fusion was completed.
Slightly swaying, Liu Feng got up from the ground again, stretched his limbs, and this time the soul fusion strengthened Liu Feng's body once more, and he also gained another superpower: the Immortal Tiger Bones.
According to the description of this ability, the highest level of the Immortal Tiger Bones allows a person to survive even if they are reduced to just bones, and as long as their faith is strong enough, they can regenerate blood and flesh.
This ability was a godsend for Liu Feng. His Immortal Tiger Bones was only at the most basic level, but it was enough to repair the severed tendons in his hands and feet. He looked at the unbearable sight in the distance and sighed.
Yu Zhiyu was the first person to break his arrogance and the madness of his inner demons, but in the end, he chose to die in this way. What exactly was the so-called secret of the Black Heaven to them?
After Integration the tiger's soul once more, Liu Feng's Wind Sense was enhanced. He sensed the information brought to him by the breeze flowing from the crack in the opposite mountain wall, took a few steps back, and activated the skill again. Sword energy shot out and struck a weak point in the mountain wall.
The entire cliff trembled slightly, then the tremor grew larger as if breaking some kind of balance. Stones fell down, burying the other side. With a slight sigh, Liu Feng cut off a few tiger bones and some tiger meat, picked up his ordinary longsword, and bypassed the area, heading to the Luo Family Manor.
Sitting by a stream, Liu Feng looked at his reflection in the water. His face was pale and thin, and his body was like skin and bones. He realized that although the two soul fusion transformations had greatly strengthened his body and generated a lot of internal energy, they had also made his body unable to keep up with the nutrition. If he had to go through it again, not to mention the problem of inner demons, he would probably die suddenly.
He drank some of the tiger bone paste he had prepared earlier, then gathered some wood, used his inner demons to start a fire, and roasted the tiger meat. He ate it warmly, though it tasted terrible, it made Liu Feng feel warm all over.
Seeing that his face had finally regained some color, Liu Feng drew his longsword and began to recall Yu Zhiyu's sword in his mind. Under the effect of the Clear Heart Record, Liu Feng's memory became exceptionally clear. He practiced it a couple of times and felt that he had made some progress. It was just a pity that the Sword Bone was destroyed, and he was missing something. It seemed that he would have to find some time to reforge the Sword Bone.
After eating and drinking his fill, Liu Feng set off again and finally arrived at the last small town outside the Luo Family Manor on the second day. As soon as Liu Feng appeared, he sensed many eyes on him through his Wind Sense.
Liu Feng randomly chose a restaurant and ordered a large table of dishes. Those who were secretly observing him didn't have much doubt about Liu Feng's skinny appearance. After all, the Black Heaven Secret Treasure could make a person so strong in an instant, so some side effects were to be expected.
Meanwhile, another group of people were observing Liu Feng. They were from the Luo Family Manor. Most of the businesses in this small town belonged to the Luo Family, so they were the first to receive the news. Luo Feiyan, who had been there that day, was also among the Luo Family.
"Most of the Black Heaven Secret Treasure are unique. This person has figured out the secret technique, so obtaining that mask won't be of much use to us. We must kill him and return the secret technique to the mask!" A middle-aged, bearded, fat man looked at Liu Feng, who was eating and drinking, and said with a serious expression.
The Luo Family had previously obtained the Gluttony Mask, giving them a deeper understanding of the Black Heaven Secret Treasure than most. The secret techniques within the treasure could only be inherited by one person, so most members of the Luo Family cultivated the Golden Cicada Body, which was derived from and modified from the secret techniques.
"Yes!" Several people following behind nodded in agreement, especially Luo Feiyan, whose pretty eyes were filled with resentment. She had given up her Golden Cicada Body in advance, but only brought back half of the Black Heaven Secret Treasure. Although this was still a great achievement, it was not enough for her to become the head of the family directly. Luo Feiyan couldn't help but hate Liu Feng to death.
