Cultivating To Immortality
Chapter 524: Eternal Life
Buzz.
Suddenly, the door of the Time House erupted with a burst of white light, which surged frantically into Fang Hong’s body.
Fang Hong’s body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye; his hair turned black, and his skin regained its vitality.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Hong stood up, fully restored.
Fang Hong placed both hands on the black door and pushed with all his might!
Rumble.
The door of the Time House was slowly pushed open by Fang Hong, revealing a Small World inside with land, blue sky, and white clouds—a beautiful environment.
Fang Hong walked into that Small World without hesitation and then closed the door of the Time House.
The Time House could alter time.
Time can change everything. Perhaps Fang Hong had already found a way to defeat the Ancestor-Devouring Birds.
Time flew by, and three thousand years passed in an instant.
Luotian Realm, Heavenly Saint Plain.
A total of three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Saints and Dao Ancestors gathered together, looking up at the high sky with varying expressions—nervousness, anxiety, indifference... These were the top combat powers of various worlds, and Dao Ancestor and Luo Sheng were among them.
"Why hasn’t Fang Hong arrived yet? Does he want to escape?" Luo Sheng wondered.
"Ignore him for now, the Ancestor-Devouring Birds are coming!" Dao Ancestor’s face was solemn.
As soon as he finished speaking, a spatial black hole appeared out of thin air above the plain.
Immediately after, strange birds flew out from it one by one!
These strange birds had pitch-black feathers, wingspans of about four or five zhang, and blood-red eyes.
They seemed ordinary, yet they exuded an indescribable eeriness!
These were the most terrifying existences within the Great Realm, the Ancestor-Devouring Birds!
"Caw caw caw.
The bugs have grown up again, we can have a full meal once more!"
"These bugs are even gathered together, saving us the trouble of searching!"
The Ancestor-Devouring Birds spoke arrogantly, their gazes sweeping over the Saints and Dao Ancestors on the ground.
A total of one hundred Ancestor-Devouring Birds had arrived.
Upon seeing the Ancestor-Devouring Birds, the expressions of everyone below changed, and they all became more or less nervous.
At this moment, a Dao Ancestor in the crowd shouted, "Fellow Daoists, do not fear! Activate the formation and attack with all your strength!!"
"Kill!"
That voice instantly awakened the crowd. Everyone revealed their strongest Aura, and the Primordial Bird-Slaying Formation on the plain was instantly activated!
Boom boom boom!
The entire plain lit up. With the support of the three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Saints and Dao Ancestors, countless destructive light beams soared into the sky, heading straight for the Ancestor-Devouring Birds.
The Ancestor-Devouring Birds had no way to dodge and were hit by a large number of light beams, being knocked back one after another.
"Dammit! These bugs have decent strength, but if you think you can resist us with just this level of attack, you’re simply seeking death!"
The Ancestor-Devouring Birds were hit by the formation, yet they were completely unharmed!
Braving the impact of the formation, they dove down and scattered the crowd.
"Ahhh... Ah! Let me go!!"
A Dao Ancestor was firmly gripped in the claws of an Ancestor-Devouring Bird and screamed in terror!
He wanted to escape, but he was immobilized by the strange electric arcs emitted by the Ancestor-Devouring Bird, leaving him completely unable to resist.
Next, the Ancestor-Devouring Bird dropped the Dao Ancestor into its mouth and swallowed him; the Dao Ancestor instantly lost his life force!
"Caw caw caw... Delicious, delicious!"
Everyone present witnessed this scene and trembled!
What kind of monsters were these? The various Dao Techniquess they performed were actually ineffective against them!
The Ancestor-Devouring Birds rampaged through the crowd. They didn’t kill everyone directly but kept torturing them.
They wanted everyone to feel despair before swallowing them in one gulp, as if they tasted better that way!
The crowd resisted desperately, using various Dao Techniquess involving time, space, heavenly fire, and so on, but none had any effect.
The Ancestor-Devouring Birds were like the natural enemies of the ancestors; no matter what Dao Techniques was used, it would be absorbed.
Despair spread through everyone’s hearts, and their numbers dwindled as more and more Saints and Dao Ancestors were swallowed.
"We underestimated the strength of the Ancestor-Devouring Birds too much; the formation is useless..." Dao Ancestor Qin Tian was also starting to feel despair.
In less than half an hour, only a thousand people remained on the plain.
There was no escape; they could only fight until the last moment, even if they couldn’t win.
Many people had already given up resistance and sat on the ground, waiting for death to arrive.
On the other hand, although the Ancestor-Devouring Birds’ feathers were a bit messy, none of them had suffered any injuries.
Buzz!
Just as everyone was in despair, a white light gate appeared out of thin air in the sky, its white light illuminating the entire plain.
The Ancestor-Devouring Birds stopped their attacks, and everyone turned their gaze toward the light gate.
A series of footsteps echoed from within the light gate, and a youth slowly walked out.
The youth was dressed in black, with a tall and straight figure, eyes like stars, and long black hair fluttering in the wind.
With his hands behind his back, he stepped out of the light gate one step at a time, his expression calm as he looked down upon the beings below.
The Black-robed Youth was none other than Fang Hong, who had emerged from the Time House.
"Fa—Fang Hong?"
Dao Ancestor Qin Tian looked at Fang Hong in disbelief, feeling that Fang Hong had changed; he couldn’t perceive any Aura from him at all!
"That fool, since he hid away, why did he come back to seek death!" Luo Sheng lay on the ground, his face full of speechlessness.
"Caw caw caw... There’s another bug hiding here!"
"This bug looks very fresh and tender, leave him to me!"
An Ancestor-Devouring Bird lunged fiercely at Fang Hong, its momentum aggressive!
"Fang Hong, run." Luo Sheng shouted.
Fang Hong didn’t run; he only slowly raised his right hand!
Bang!
Before the Ancestor-Devouring Bird could even get close to Fang Hong, it suddenly inflated and then exploded in mid-air, vanishing without a trace!
Uh!
Everyone present saw this scene, their pupils shrinking suddenly, their bodies shaking, and their mouths agape!
With just a lift of his hand, an Ancestor-Devouring Bird died?
They had all fought with their lives just now and couldn’t even wound an Ancestor-Devouring Bird, yet now one was insta-killed!!
"Just who is this person!"
"Great Luo Dao Ancestor! He has already broken through to the Great Luo Dao Ancestor realm! Hahaha..."
At this moment, Dao Ancestor Qin Tian burst into wild laughter!
"What! Great Luo Dao Ancestor!"
"It’s a Great Luo Dao Ancestor! We’re saved!"
Hearing this, hope was rekindled on everyone’s faces, and they stood up from the ground one after another!
A Great Luo Dao Ancestor is omnipotent; they were saved!
"Dammit! You wretched bug, how dare you kill my companion!"
Seeing their companion killed, the remaining ninety-nine Ancestor-Devouring Birds were completely enraged and lunged at Fang Hong together!
Fang Hong flipped his hand again.
Bang bang bang.
In an instant, all ninety-nine Ancestor-Devouring Birds exploded and vanished without a trace.
"This is the strength of a Great Luo Dao Ancestor! Omnipotent!"
The people below looked at Fang Hong with faces full of awe!
They all knelt on one knee and shouted in unison:
"We pay our respects to the Supreme Chaos Saint Ancestor Fang Hong of the Profound Heaven Saint Sect, the Great Luo Dao Ancestor who saves the suffering and the world!"
Fang Hong didn’t respond to the crowd but looked up at the high sky and said calmly, "He is coming..."
"He? Who is the ’he’ the Saint Ancestor speaks of?" Dao Ancestor Qin Tian asked in confusion.
"The master of the Ancestor-Devouring Birds."
"What!"
"The—the master of the Ancestor-Devouring Birds?!"
Hearing this, the faces of everyone present changed instantly, filled with horror!
The Ancestor-Devouring Birds were already terrifying enough, and they actually had a master?!
Could their master also be a Great Luo Dao Ancestor?
Boom!
Just then, a white pillar of light descended from the heavens.
After the light dissipated, a youth appeared in everyone’s sight.
The youth was dressed in white, handsome in appearance, and was looking at everyone with a face full of disdain.
That look was as if he were looking at ants.
Everyone looked at the white-robed youth with astonishment; just like with Fang Hong, they couldn’t perceive any Aura from him.
"Are you the master of this Great Realm?" Fang Hong asked.
The white-robed youth didn’t reply to Fang Hong’s words but instead said with a face full of impatience.
"I really underestimated you bugs, to think you could kill my pet birds!"
"Do I really have to do it myself?"
After speaking, the white-robed youth directly threw a white fist phantom toward Fang Hong!
That fist phantom seemed ordinary, but it actually contained supreme power capable of annihilating everything!
However, before the white fist phantom could even get close to Fang Hong, it directly dissipated in the air!
"What! How is that possible?" The white-robed youth was full of surprise when he saw the fist phantom fail!
At this moment, Fang Hong made a grasping motion from a distance, and the white-robed youth was instantly pulled over, his neck firmly grasped by Fang Hong.
"Guh guh... Ahhhhh. You you... how could a bug like you escape my control?"
The white-robed youth’s face turned red from being throttled, his expression one of disbelief.
"Bug? You will find that this bug has become omnipotent and can even turn back and consume you, the master.I" Fang Hong smiled.
"You... impossible. Did you invade the Time System?" The white-robed youth seemed to think of something terrifying.
"You realized too late!"
The Time System the white-robed youth mentioned was actually the Time House.
Fang Hong had entered the Time House to cultivate; although only three thousand years had passed in the outside world, he had spent billions upon billions of years inside the Time House, experiencing countless tribulations!
It was precisely because he had Cultivated for countless years that Fang Hong was able to advance to the Great Luo Dao Ancestor realm, transcending everything and becoming omnipotent!
"You can’t kill me! I am the master of the Longevity Realm; if you kill me, everything here will be annihilated!" the white-robed youth hastily reminded.
"I said, this bug of mine is already omnipotent; as long as I wish it, this world will exist forever!"
"From the moment I entered the Time House, you were already beyond saving! Refine!"
"Ah. Ahhh. No."
Fang Hong applied force with his hand, and with a miserable scream, the white-robed youth instantly turned into a white medicinal pill, which Fang Hong swallowed and completely refined!
"Everyone, the Saint Tribulation has ended. There will never be any more Ancestor-Devouring Birds."
Fang Hong said a word and then turned into a white light, disappearing from the spot.
"The Saint Tribulation is over!"
"Where did the Saint Ancestor go?"
"Perhaps he has already left this Great Realm and gone beyond!"
The survivors on the Heavenly Saint Plain were overjoyed; the Saint Tribulation had ended, and they had survived... At this moment, Fang Hong had arrived in an unfamiliar room.
The room had windows, a table, a bed, and other things, as well as a white-robed youth lying on the floor.
This white-robed youth was exactly the one Fang Hong had just killed.
At this moment, the white-robed youth’s eyes were wide open, but he no longer had any breath; his soul had been refined by Fang Hong, leaving him with a feeling of dying with grievances!
Embedded in the white-robed youth’s forehead was also a thumb-sized blue bead.
This blue bead was called the "Eternal Life Sphere," or the Longevity Realm.
It contained the Mortal Realm, Immortal Realm, Luotian Realm, and all the other myriad worlds; Fang Hong came from there.
Fang Hong now knew everything.
The white-robed youth was named "Huang Tianzun," and he came from a plane called "Earth."
The Eternal Life Sphere was the greatest technological product created by the people of Earth.
The people of Earth Fusion their souls with the Eternal Life Sphere to obtain eternal life.
As long as the myriad living beings within the Eternal Life Sphere were still moving and providing a continuous stream of energy, the people of Earth could have eternal souls, long life without aging, and immortality.
However, the Eternal Life Sphere was not truly perfect; it would sometimes develop some powerful "bugs," or rather, "viruses."
Because these viruses were too strong and had already threatened the safety of the Eternal Life Sphere, these viruses had to be cleared periodically to keep the Eternal Life Sphere in an optimal state!
And Fang Hong was the strongest and most severely mutated "virus" within the Eternal Life Sphere, powerful enough to kill the master!
The Time House was the core part of the Eternal Life Sphere; Fang Hong had invaded it and Cultivated there for countless ages, undergoing an extreme mutation and becoming omnipotent.
Just then, a news broadcast came from the phone on Huang Tianzun’s desk:
"Attention all citizens: recently, multiple cases have occurred where Eternal Life Viruses have turned back and consumed their masters, even resulting in deaths. Citizens are requested to clear Eternal Life Viruses in a timely manner to avoid infection..."
Huang Tianzun was killed by Fang Hong because he didn’t clear the virus in time.
Fang Hong smiled, then waved his hand; Huang Tianzun’s corpse completely disappeared, and the Eternal Life Sphere also disappeared.
The existence of the Eternal Life Sphere was entirely up to a single thought from Fang Hong.
Fang Hong walked to the window and looked at the sky.
He saw layer upon layer of worlds—endless, infinite worlds.
In the time that followed, Fang Hong took his beloved wife to travel through those infinite worlds, living a life of leisure and freedom.
....
The End.
