Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World

Chapter 756 - 750: Show Weakness to the Enemy, Trap Turtles in a Jar_1

Zhuang Baoxiang seemed to sense something, flew over, and smiled apologetically at Jia Ren. "Sorry to have disturbed you."

"You little rascal, trying to mess up my good fortune again!" The white-bearded old man turned his head towards Zhuang Baoxiang, his eyes unfriendly.

"Father-in-law, it’s time to take your medication." Zhuang Baoxiang’s face showed helplessness, and his voice softened slightly.

Upon hearing the word "medication," the white-bearded old man’s face changed slightly, shaking his head like a rattle-drum. "I don’t want to take any medication!"

What’s going on?

Isn’t this Daluo Golden Immortal acting strangely?

A Daluo Golden Immortal is known as an existence that survives calamities and lasts eternally. Such a high-level powerhouse possesses certain characteristics of Bizarre Demons, making them difficult to kill. No matter how serious the injury, they should be able to recover in a short time, so why would they need medication?

Could it be an injury from the Great Dao?

Zhuang Baoxiang noticed Jia Ren’s confusion and sighed deeply. "The Bizarre Path is powerful, and the number of strong practitioners of the Immortal Path is far fewer than those of the Bizarre Path, making them weak and isolated."

"Hundreds of years ago, his father-in-law fought outnumbered against the Dao Bizarre. The contaminating force of the Dao Bizarre nearly corrupted his foundational Law. While an elixir from the Purifying Celestial Honor resolved the contamination, it did have some side effects."

Jia Ren quietly listened to the secret unknown to the world. Had Zhuang Baoxiang not taken the initiative to tell him, he would not have known that the Daluo Golden Immortal had just battled Dao Bizarre. The powerhouses of the Immortal Realm and the Dao Bizarre are still fighting in an invisible battlefield, silently sacrificing for the peace of the Donghua Immortal Domain. This battlefield is too advanced, far beyond his current reach.

"Do not leave the Donghua Immortal Domain."

As a final reminder, Zhuang Baoxiang drifted away.

Jia Ren didn’t want to stay here long, lest the Daluo Golden Immortal, in a moment of aberration, strike and kill him—it would be a huge loss. Employing the Great Thousand Shifting Escape continuously, he quickly put distance between himself and the Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect. He flew out a full twenty million miles, leaving the territory of the Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect.

Finally safe...

This old fellow shouldn’t chase after me anymore, right?

No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than the next instant, his Linghuan True Heart seemed to be triggered, and an unprecedented sense of crisis engulfed him.

Is the Daluo Golden Immortal trying to kill me?

No, that’s not right!

In the instant the danger struck, Jia Ren smelled the aura of another acquaintance: Lord Qianyu.

Has he discovered me?!

Space fractured like a shattered mirror, breaking into thousands of pieces. Over a thousand invisible forces tore space apart, pulverizing everything within. Countless terrifying destructive forces aimed to reduce him to dust. The palm that struck contained Space Law Power, and was certainly not an Immortal Path Divine Power executed by a Book Bizarre Palace Immortal—its might was unparalleled.

He had envisioned encounters with Lord Qianyu; this Immortal Monarch-level powerhouse was among the most difficult to kill. Lord Qianyu could slay enemies from afar. If a situation turned even slightly unfavorable, he would immediately flee millions of miles. Once Jia Ren’s identity and whereabouts were exposed, he would be toyed with like a dog on a leash. If Jia Ren were still at the level of a Golden Immortal, he wouldn’t stand the slightest chance against Lord Qianyu. Now, having breached the Mysterious Barrier of his body, he possessed the capability to kill Lord Qianyu. But he only had one chance. If he made a mistake, he would be left to take the hits passively.

Jia Ren’s eyes glowed with a purplish-red light as he stared into the distance, sensing that his enemy was just... a million miles away. He was striking from a million miles away, intending to kill Jia Ren without giving him a chance to even get close. Jia Ren could only appear weak to deceive the enemy, looking for an opportunity.

"Great Thousand Shifting Escape!"

Jia Ren’s face showed panic, and he decisively employed the Great Thousand Shifting Escape, attempting to leave. However, the shattered space held an odd power that interfered, preventing him from shifting away.

How is this possible?

Why can’t I escape?!

"Petty tricks, daring to show off in front of this monarch!" Lord Qianyu’s voice, full of contempt, crossed space to reach him. An Immortal Monarch who grasps Space Law Power holds complete dominance over those without similar abilities.

"You’re the one who killed my grandson, right? Even if you weren’t, for daring to steal my Divine Power, you deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces!"

The attacker was indeed Lord Qianyu. Jia Ren had always been extremely concealed. Lord Qianyu had no idea who killed his grandson, aimlessly searching for over a thousand years with no results. He had thought it would be difficult to encounter the murderer and could only suppress his anger deep within. This time, while leaving to visit a friend, he had felt the spatial fluctuations of the Great Thousand Shifting Escape.

Had the murderer who killed his grandson sneaked into the Celestial Secret Vault and learned the Great Thousand Shifting Escape?

Whether it was him or not, stealing his Divine Power warranted death. He suddenly struck at Jia Ren, unleashing the Great Thousand Sundering Realm Palm from afar.

The might of a single palm was too much for even Immortal Monarch-level powerhouses to endure, let alone a Golden Immortal. Space shattered, leaving behind a crack that stretched for thousands of miles and wouldn’t heal for a long time. Everything within that area turned into dust, utterly obliterated from existence.

Within the dark void, a figure with black and red skin tumbled out, his face a portrait of wretchedness. His Taoist Robe was in tatters, his flesh mangled, barely recognizable as human.

Too cruel!

Wounds grotesquely covered every part of his body, leaving not an inch of intact skin. Every injury was terrible, with white bones exposed to the open air. Jia Ren landed on the grass, his spilled blood quickly staining the ground red. Looking terrified yet somehow relieved, he exclaimed, "HAHA, I’m still alive."

His voice was weak, tinged with the joy of surviving a calamity.

"You’re celebrating too soon!"

Invisible space turned into blades, attacking once again. From beginning to end, Lord Qianyu was millions of miles away, not giving Jia Ren a chance to get close. If he didn’t give an opportunity, Jia Ren had to create his own.

"HEHE, Qin Shiren said before dying that his grandfather would save him... what a pity I didn’t have a Shadow Recording Stone at that time, otherwise, I could have let you, old fellow, thoroughly enjoy the show."

"The Jade Box belonging to the Devious Path Forces has been hidden by me. Kill me, and you’ll get nothing."

Lord Qianyu’s figure drifted close, his eyes seemingly ablaze. It was only suspicion before, but these two sentences were irrefutable proof.

Heaven rewards the persistent! I’ve finally found the chief culprit!!!

His palm darkened as Space Force concentrated within, suddenly drawing Jia Ren into its center. Terrible forces were everywhere, converging from all directions and squeezing towards the center. Jia Ren seemed like a mosquito trapped in amber, his body unable to move an inch, with every wound gushing blood.

"Why did you kill my grandson?! I will make you wish you were dead!!!" Lord Qianyu finally lost his composure and roared with all his might. His voice sounded like a Malevolent Ghost crawling out from the eighteenth layer of hell. He unleashed all the skills he had learned in his life, determined to make Jia Ren endure the most extreme tortures of the world. He wondered if Jia Ren’s mouth would still be so defiant then.

"Why did you try to steal my Gold-Winged Great Peng Bird Avatar?"

"Why did you want to kill me?"

"Plant evil seeds, reap evil fruit."

Jia Ren exhausted all his strength, struggling against the ubiquitous spatial restraints. He stubbornly lifted his head, his eyes looking straight at Lord Qianyu.

"Do you think the weak won’t resist? That they will just let you manipulate them?!"

Lord Qianyu stood stunned, then, bursting into a rage, shouted, "How dare you compare yourself to my grandson?!"

"Your worthless life isn’t even comparable to one of his fingers!"

The intensity of the spatial compression increased, causing more blood to spurt out. His still-intact eyes filled with blood, threatening to burst from their sockets at any moment.

"If it weren’t for your intent to join the Bizarre Path, abandoning him and leaving, would he have died?"

"Your grandson’s death is but the retribution for your own actions!"

"All of this, you brought upon yourself!"

Insults are merely an outpouring of emotions, but the truth is what truly breaks one’s defenses. The truth Lord Qianyu was least willing to face was laid bare at that moment, making it difficult for him to accept. Before Lord Qianyu could inflict the utmost pain on Jia Ren, an overwhelming sense of crisis struck him. The Heavenly Mystery Divine Omen had been triggered. The next moment, the figure within the Palm-Sized Heavenly Realm began to swell, expanding at an alarming rate. The Space Force falling upon Jia Ren could not suppress him; the two forces clashed continuously.

Ten grey rays of light circulated and then merged into one, forming a grey sash that flew past. Distracted, Lord Qianyu simultaneously controlled the Palm-Sized Heavenly Realm, attempting to grind the ’small bug’ within it into mush, while his Nine-Imperial Immortal Escape rose to fend off the grey light. The grey light hit the Nine Imperial Immortal Shields, their immortal power weakening insignificantly, with little effect. Effects like restrictive spells were insufficient to contain an Immortal Monarch-level powerhouse. His mere control over the Power of Space Law could turn decay into magic.

A strong premonition of danger came from behind, prompting Lord Qianyu to decisively move sideways, intending to escape the area. Right at that moment, a hand broke through the spatial constraints and struck a punch towards an empty space. The space rippled like water, creating continuous spatial ripples that disrupted the Great Thousand Shifting Escape. Ordinary power disrupting space was not enough to affect Lord Qianyu’s escape, but this punch contained...

Space Force, how is that possible?!

Lord Qianyu’s face was a picture of disbelief; the unexpected result caused his spatial shift to fail.

Jia Ren feigned weakness, willingly walking into the trap, not only to get close to Lord Qianyu but also to experience Space Law up close. He used language to distract Lord Qianyu, while his Thousand Transformations Rule simulated the Power of Space Law.

With this, the plan succeeded!

The Power of Laws within his Celestial Treasure Immortal Power had transformed into the Power of Space Law.

The Nine Imperial Immortal Shields stood behind him, hissing. A crimson blood spear nearly pierced through the Nine Imperial Immortal Shields. Lord Qianyu had no idea where the blood spear had come from. Only when his gaze fell upon the spot where Jia Ren lay, with all the scattered blood having disappeared, did he have a sudden realization.

The opponent’s blood is also a weapon!

"Are you cultivating the Blood Demon Dao?"

No, it’s By Strength, Prove the Dao!

There is a fundamental difference between the Blood Demon Dao and By Strength, Prove the Dao.

Jia Ren tore through the Palm-Sized Heavenly Realm, transforming into a giant. No more blood flowed from his wounds, which healed instantaneously. Jia Ren continued to pound the space with his palms, creating visible spatial ripples that made it impossible to use spatial escape Divine Powers in that place, giving Lord Qianyu a taste of his own medicine.

The quality of Law Power at the Golden Immortal Realm was not comparable to Lord Qianyu’s, who had delved into this domain for many years. If Lord Qianyu wanted to flee, Jia Ren, even possessing Space Law Power himself, could hardly catch up. Jia Ren didn’t need to surpass Lord Qianyu in this area; he only needed to negate his adversary’s advantage.

Lord Qianyu’s expression turned grave. Regardless of his willingness to admit it, he knew he had clearly fallen into a trap laid by Jia Ren.

"Catching a turtle in a jar!"
