Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 474 - 318 He... Came Out!_2

Countless crystal silks broke the void and came attacking, just as Zhao Sheng was targeted by an incredibly powerful will, rendering his body immobile.

In the nick of time, a three-foot-wide black hole suddenly appeared beneath Zhao Sheng's feet.

With a flash of black light, Zhao Sheng's figure was no longer in the crystal cave.

...

Boom!

In the Divine Ruins Meteor Sea, a desolate meteor with a diameter of a hundred or so zhang suddenly exploded into a cloud of dust.

The dust quickly dispersed, revealing an irregularly shaped huge crater on the meteor.

At the center of the crater, a corpse covered in cracks lay motionless, with the right half of its torso having vanished into thin air, leaving a cut as smooth as glass and several ribs exposed, flickering with an eerie blue light.

Sizzle!

This corpse was enveloped in a layer of golden light, and on the left half of the torso, blood vessels and muscles automatically closed up, while skin and bones instinctively began to sizzle and grow.

What was even more remarkable was that countless muscle fibers were splitting and growing rapidly like wriggling earthworms, intertwining and merging with each other.

But as this scene unfolded, a large number of sand-grain-like crystal grains were also slowly breeding and multiplying.

After an unknown length of time, the corpse suddenly twitched and then sat up from the ground.

Ptui!

Zhao Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with crystal grains, covering his wound with his right hand and opening his eyes.

Seeing the barren sandstones before him and after glancing at the surrounding pitch-black void, Zhao Sheng heaved a long sigh of relief, finally having escaped.

"Damn it, screwing me over just before death! No wonder I ended up like this; serves me right!"

The thought of the sinister act of that freak made Zhao Sheng curse loudly.

That damned old ghost actually tossed him into the Void Realm and left him to his fate.

If not for his prior experience with similar space-time travel, he would definitely have gotten lost in the Void Realm and soon would have been erased by the ceaseless space-time storms.

Even so, he had paid a heavy price.

All the defensive Treasure Talismans he had saved up were exhausted, his Immortal Golden Body was broken, his body was maimed, and even two panels of his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Bright Sun Mirror, had shattered.

Of course, as long as he was alive, these were all trivial matters.

After all, if he died this life, there was always the next!

Right now, what troubled Zhao Sheng the most was how to safely pass on the treasures he had accumulated in this lifetime to his next life.

And he was deep within the Divine Ruins Meteor Sea at the moment.

The Divine Ruins were vast and infinite, with countless meteors, and even he didn't know where he was.

If he died this life and couldn't find the place in his next life, it would be ridiculously funny.

Countless thoughts quickly passed through his mind, and Zhao Sheng's expression fluctuated.

But soon, he collected his thoughts, discarded all negative emotions, released his Divine Thought, and began to carefully examine his injuries.

After a while, Zhao Sheng's expression relaxed, his injuries were far lighter than he had imagined, missing only an arm, while his Dantian and meridians were completely intact.

It was actually the rapid crystallization of his body that was causing him distress.

The Void Devil Fungus lived up to its name, impervious to any Spell or Divine Skill based on Spiritual Energy.

Having reached the Nascent Soul Realm, Zhao Sheng could clearly see his Primordial Cells but was unable to probe inside them, and it just so happened that the spores of the Devil Fungus were hiding inside the Primordial Cells.

The scale of magnitude difference was the fundamental reason why those in the Nascent Soul Realm were unable to use Divine Thought to eradicate the Devil Fungus.

While pondering this, Zhao Sheng took out the Space Storage Seal from his waist and waved his hand. In front of him, a flash of brilliance appeared, and quietly, a pile of Elixir Medicine Bottles appeared.

He took several Treasure Pills in succession, including Soul Stabilizing Pill, Returning Vitality Pill, and Three Returns Life Elixir,

and quickly closed his eyes to circulate his power, a dazzling golden light rising from his body.

...

Three days later,

A golden tunneling light shot across the darkness and moved with incredible agility through the densely packed meteor swarm.

At that moment, huge monsters with spiky armor and as large as mountains sprang up from the meteors, converging on Zhao Sheng from all directions in a frenzy.

However, in Zhao Sheng's eyes, these Star Beasts as powerful as those in the Golden Core realm were like clumsy, slow-moving geese, coming to him to offer their heads willingly.

Often, with just a flash of golden light, a spiky armored beast would fall dead.

Then, one by one, inner cores radiating spiritual light burst forth from their bodies, easily captured by Zhao Sheng into his pouch.

Soon after, the golden tunneling light vanished into the dark void, disappearing from sight.

All that remained were piles of rigid, lifeless beast corpses.

...

Two months later,

On a grayish-yellow Star Meteor, large chunks of Gold ore lay bare, sparkling with an enticing golden light.

Zhao Sheng stood atop a mound made of gold, looking up into the void, disregarding the mountain of gold beneath his feet.

"Indeed, the worst-case scenario has happened. Where am I now?" Zhao Sheng muttered to himself as he concentrated his powerful Divine Thought into a thin thread, stretching it out with all his might until it reached three hundred miles away.

Everywhere the Divine Thought went, there was nothing but the Void and dead, desolate meteorites—nothing else.

"Ah, I really am lost!"

Zhao Sheng sighed, retracting his Divine Thought, and couldn't help but show a hint of weariness on his face.

In two months' time, he had flown nearly three million miles without rest, but he ultimately lost his direction.

In the Outer Void, there simply is no conventional sense of forward, backward, up, down, left, or right.

This made it exceedingly easy to lose one's way in the Void.

Zhao Sheng, trapped in the Divine Ruins Meteor Sea, faced a situation even more perilous than the usual disorientation.

For the Divine Ruins Meteor Sea was rife with danger, with emergencies arising at any moment.

After a while, Zhao Sheng's face regained calm, and he extended his right hand, unleashing a resplendent sword rainbow that roared out like a Mad Dragon.

The sword rainbow plunged into the nearby ground, instantly blasting dust into the air and creating a huge pit two person-widths across and ten zhang deep.

Three successive sword rainbows shot out, and the pit deepened rapidly, going a hundred zhang down into the earth.

Zhao Sheng turned into a beam of light, flashing into the pit.

Moments later, a makeshift cave mansion was quickly carved out in the depths of the pit.

Inside the stone room, with a thought from Zhao Sheng, his right hand formed spells, and layers of Barriers rose from the ground, sealing the stone room.

Suddenly, the Golden Crow True Fire flew into the air, turning into a Fire Cloud, and a Fire Shield descended to protect Zhao Sheng's entire body.

Zhao Sheng sat down cross-legged, flipped his hand, and a foot-long White Jade Ruyi appeared in his palm, set with seven dazzling Star Beads.

Inside each of the seven Star Beads was an imprint of a world coordinate, each one symbolizing a corresponding Cross-border Transmission Array on the other side.

Of course, Zhao Sheng was not concerned about these at the moment.

He gently tossed it, and the Seven Star Ruyi flew out of his hand, disappeared into the Fire Cloud, floating erratically.

Zhao Sheng's eyes gleamed with Divine Light, and the Golden Crow True Fire suddenly transformed into a multitude of Fire Lotuses, supporting the Seven Star Ruyi while starting to burn furiously.

The lengthy Refining process began!

...

Ten years went by in the blink of an eye!

In the stone room, Zhao Sheng's eyes were fixed on the Seven Star Ruyi in mid-air; threads of Divine Thought shot out from his brow, instantly transforming into archaic Spiritual Texts that flew into the Ruyi, quickly inscribing distinct and unique Divine Thought Imprints.

At this moment, his exposed hands and face had surprisingly acquired many thin Crystal Clusters, looking eerie and terrifying.

Ten years of Refining and continuous use of Mana indirectly accelerated the pace of the Devil Mushroom infection.

By this time, nearly one-quarter of Zhao Sheng's body was close to crystallization.

Fortunately, crystallization did not hinder the circulation of Mana.

About three hours later, Zhao Sheng's eyes burst forth with two bright radiances, his hands swiftly formed a peculiar Dharma Seal, and the Seven Star Ruyi's surface radiated flowing light, subsequently shining forth a vast expanse of clear luminance.

The next instant, the Seven Star Ruyi suddenly flew in front of him, and Zhao Sheng reached out and grabbed it.

"Haha! At last, the great work is done!" Zhao Sheng stood up from the ground with joy, laughing heartily while flakes of Crystal Powder fell from his face.

But he didn't care a bit, only gazing at the Seven Star Ruyi as though looking at a treasured possession.

Zhao Sheng eagerly deployed the Treasure, his hands rapidly casting spells that struck the Seven Star Ruyi.

Soon enough, the Ruyi burst forth with white light, and a stream of Starlight shot out from its end, piercing through layers of earth and stone, extending all the way into the depths of the Void.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng exclaimed with surprise, "Just as I expected!"

As his words fell, Zhao Sheng vanished from his original spot.

...

Three months later,

Somewhere in the Meteor Sea, Zhao Sheng hid behind a meteorite, carefully avoiding a group of bizarrely shaped creatures.

After a short time when the creatures had gone far away,

Zhao Sheng flashed out of hiding, reactivating the Ruyi's starlight.

After briefly determining his direction, he then sped away with tunneling light.

As time slowly passed, Zhao Sheng's crystallization grew more severe.

But at the same time, he finally emerged from the Mystical Spirit Domain and arrived in the spiritless zone on the outer edges of the Divine Ruins.

To his delight, in this spiritless environment, the growth rate of the Devil Mushroom significantly slowed down.

This granted Zhao Sheng a few more years of life.

Another year passed, and the meteorites became increasingly sparse.

One day, Zhao Sheng finally saw the two suns again.

He... had made it out!
