Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World

Chapter 758 - 752 Supreme Divine Ability, Demon Domain Worm Tide?_1

Unending darkness drifted as an ominous figure with golden wings materialized. His right palm resembled the gaping maw of a giant fish, its center dark and seemingly bottomless like an endless abyss, emitting a powerful suction force. It devoured the surrounding dark aura like a pump drawing water from the sea. The maw in his palm ceased its devouring and gradually calmed.

Jia Ren looked around, scrutinizing his surroundings.

"What place is this?"

"Demonic energy?!"

Jia Ren identified the nature of the dark aura in an instant. The demonic energy here was extremely dense, far surpassing anything he knew. For a moment, he was uncertain of his whereabouts. He released his divine consciousness to inspect the area, but all around him was deathly silent, without a hint of life. After confirming the absence of danger nearby, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The fish-mouth opened, and a panicked Immortal Soul flew out from the center of his palm. Before the Immortal Soul could transform into a beam of light and escape, Jia Ren’s hand, glowing with a dark light, snapped down like a pair of iron tongs, firmly trapping it. Strands of Space Law Power vibrated, preventing the other party from escaping.

"My master is Yu Qiong Celestial Honor, the person closest to the Ancestral Master Realm. If not for the anomalies during his ascension, he would have already become a true Dao Ancestor."

"If you dare to kill me, Yu Qiong Celestial Honor will not let you off!"

"As long as you let me go, I can pretend this never happened."

Feeling the destructive power coming from Jia Ren’s palm, Lord Qianyu’s Immortal Soul trembled incessantly, overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of crisis. Since becoming a disciple of Yu Qiong Celestial Honor, he had always had smooth sailing and had never encountered such an incident. Facing the threat of death, he brought up his master, seeking a glimmer of survival.

"Yu Qiong Celestial Honor?" Jia Ren mused. "I don’t think Yu Qiong Celestial Honor would care about a nefarious disciple who steals from his own master."

"You’re better off dead; that would put me more at ease!"

If this person remained alive, he would be an endless threat. Jia Ren, having made his move, would not act with fear and hesitation. Slowly increasing his grip, he crushed Lord Qianyu’s Immortal Soul. Strands of Space Law Power leaked out, disappearing into the horizon.

Unfortunately, Jia Ren didn’t possess a treasure capable of harnessing the Power of Laws, so he could only watch as the Space Law Power faded away into the distance. He quietly waited. In just a short moment, the Space Law was about to evolve into a powerful Bizarre Demon.

"Break!"

Jia Ren didn’t give the opponent a chance to act. Once an Immortal Monarch Level Space Law transformed into a Bizarre Demon, it would surely become the most terrifying existence below a Dao Bizarre. The moment of its birth was the optimal time to seal it.

The Xuantian Suppressing Immortal Demon Tower Mark appeared on his forehead, and his dark skin gleamed with a black, jade-like luster. His fist tore through the sky, striking the very core where the bizarre energy had condensed. The Bizarre Qi exploded, then, like a whale drawing in water, it was sucked in. Deep within the Dantian Cave Heaven, the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda spun endlessly, absorbing all the corresponding bizarre energies until none remained. With that, the last trace of Lord Qianyu was erased by him.

What a pity. In my all-out effort earlier, not only did I blast Lord Qianyu’s body to pieces, but his Na Xian Bag was also reduced to ashes. Having been hit by the Spatial Banishment Divine Ability, Jia Ren’s only thought was to quickly kill Lord Qianyu, without the luxury to consider whether it might damage the Na Xian Bag and affect the collection of spoils of war. After killing Lord Qianyu, his only gain was a Bizarre Demon transformed from the Power of Laws.

No, there was another gain. A clump of preserved flesh appeared in his palm, then disappeared into the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl. The Xuan Beast Avatar, by consuming this flesh with a Corpse-Eating Bizarre Pill, would acquire all of Lord Qianyu’s Immortal Dao Secret Techniques and Divine Skills.

The Qianyu Cave True Scripture and Great Thousand Shifting Evasion Techniques aside... Space Stagnation and Spatial Banishment were both powerful Immortal Path Divine Power. As long as used at the right moment, each one could determine the outcome of the cosmos.

After the Xuan Beast Avatar consumed the flesh, it didn’t take long for Lord Qianyu’s Divine Skills to manifest. Jia Ren was most concerned about Space Stagnation and Spatial Banishment. Spatial Banishment was a powerful Immortal Path Divine Power, learned from Yu Qiong Celestial Honor. Space Stagnation was even more formidable—it was a Supreme Divine Ability.

Above Divine Skills is Great Divine Power, then Immortal Path Divine Power, and finally, Supreme Divine Ability. Supreme Divine Abilities were Divine Skills created by the most powerful beings, possessing remarkably astonishing powers. Each Supreme Divine Ability could alter the tide of battle. If Jia Ren’s path hadn’t been By Strength, Prove the Dao, and his physical body wasn’t as strong as a High-grade Immortal Artifact, a single use of Space Stagnation could have killed him countless times. The appearance of a Supreme Divine Ability was an eye-opener.

This Divine Skill is ingenious! Once it’s elevated to the Technique-Nearing-Dao Level, what terrifying power it would wield!

Jia Ren studied it intently, finding it incredibly demanding. Many aspects were abstruse and difficult to comprehend. Immortal Path Divine Power is different from Supreme Divine Abilities. Immortal Path Divine Power primarily deals with immortal power and the Power of Laws. Using only the Power of Laws, one cannot bring forth the full might of Supreme Divine Abilities. To reveal their true power, one must reach the Master Realm. It’s not about Laws but about the Great Dao.

Laws and the Great Dao are vastly different. The Great Luo Golden Immortal Level involves the Great Dao, not the mere Power of Laws. The Great Dao becoming a Bizarre Path affects higher-level beings the most. Jia Ren’s encounter with a Supreme Divine Ability brought him in touch with the mysterious veil of the highest echelons of the Immortal Path. The Great Dao is somewhat distant from me, beyond my comprehension.

The Supreme Divine Ability Space Stagnation... I should leave studying it for another time.Unsure of my location and what dangers lurk nearby, this is not a place for me to stay for long.Finding a safe and secluded spot to study this Supreme Divine Ability can wait.

Jia Ren flapped the golden wings of the Golden-Winged Peng Bird, transforming into a streak of golden light, zipping through the darkness.

Demonic energy was everywhere, surging ceaselessly; the normal Immortal Spiritual Qi could not be felt. This was not friendly toward orthodox immortals. The demonic energy was incredibly aggressive, constantly corroding and assimilating everything around it, whether dead or alive. Staying in this place for an extended period would definitely lead to corruption by the demonic energy, loss of reason, and degradation into a demon that acted on instinct.

Jia Ren’s situation was still manageable. The Suppressing Mystery Law Power from the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda was the nemesis of heretical demons, and the surging demonic energy could not invade his body in the slightest. After flying out for a hundred thousand li, he faintly felt the presence of life. For the first time in this unknown land, there were signs of life. With a flash of his wings, he was already near the target.

These were transparent, membranous eggs, nurturing unknown life forms inside. As if sensing a living person approach, the egg membranes tore, revealing creatures with black, segmented limbs and sharp wings. Their forms were ferocious, giving off a sense of chaos. The newly born creatures were extremely aggressive; they leaped forward and suddenly pounced towards Jia Ren.

Jia Ren pointed distantly at the black, ferocious creatures, and an invisible force erupted, blasting all the monsters into slag. Green blood mixed with mucus dripped onto the black soil. It wasn’t clear whether it was the green blood or the mucus that held strong corrosive power, but the black soil sizzled, rapidly eroding into a pit several zhang deep. What is this thing?

Jia Ren, without getting closer to the target, suddenly sensed something. From afar came the dense sound of flapping wings, like a demonic chorus formed by billions of similar creatures beating their wings, assaulting his eardrums. Jia Ren’s eyes sparkled with a purple-gold light, and he looked through the flowing black gas towards the distance. An endless black tide flew toward this place, all being the Demon Insects he had just killed; there were far too many of them. So numerous that the eye could not see their limit, all were swarming black insects. The Demon Insects had, at most, the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage, but in staggering numbers.

Even though numerous ants could kill an elephant, the gap between Jia Ren and the black insects was far greater than that between ants and an elephant. No matter how many such Miscellaneous Fish there were, they would struggle to break through his defense, let alone pose a threat to Jia Ren.

This place seems to be a Demon Domain. Whether it’s the Abyssal Demon Realm or the Black Death Demon Realm is unclear, but either would certainly have Demonic Path powerhouses.My combat prowess, comparable to an Immortal Monarch’s, is far from invincible. The world still holds too many entities that could threaten my life.With the situation unclear, it’s best not to act rashly and attract the attention of unknown powerhouses.

Jia Ren unfolded his wings, not lingering any longer, and then flew off in the opposite direction.

He hadn’t been flying long when the familiar sound of flapping wings came from ahead. To the east, south, west, and north, the noisy sounds were everywhere, extremely irritating. He had been surrounded, leaving only two options: ascend to the heavens or burrow into the ground. The Demon Insects had already made the choice for Jia Ren; above in the sky, the figures of black insects also loomed, forming an airtight curtain of black insects.

Jia Ren was just about to break through and create an opening. Right at that moment, a voice came from within the swarm in the distance, bringing his actions to a halt.

"Where did this immortal come from?"

"How did you enter this place?!"

"Quickly tell this Lord the method to leave the seal!"

These bugs actually have a master! Jia Ren quickly locked his gaze on the voice within the insects and looked towards the depths of the swarm thousands of li away. The farther in, the stronger the strength and aura of the Demon Insects. At the very depths, the aura of the Demon Insects was almost comparable to that of immortals. With their terrifying numbers, they became an almost unsolvable entity. At this point, Jia Ren finally pinpointed the source and determined the opponent’s realm.

Insect Path Golden Immortal? The words spoken by the other caused a frown to form on Jia Ren’s brow. A seal?

"What is this place? Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist." This was the first being he had found for communication and a way to gain specific information.

"You have not answered this Lord’s question yet!"

"This Lord asks, you answer!"

"Do you not realize the situation you’re in?!"

Millions of black insects coalesced into black spears, shooting towards Jia Ren at astonishing speed. The combined power of a million black insects wasn’t exponentially greater, but even a Loose Immortal would have to be cautious. A careless move could put one at risk of falling. Moreover, there were thousands of similar black spears. The endless swarm of black insects in the distance was an inexhaustible source of troops. A black insect thousands of li away, it believed itself safe and secure, guarded by a billion-strong insect swarm.

"I believe, fellow Daoist, that you haven’t understood your own situation," Jia Ren stated. He reached out his hand, grasping from thousands of li away towards a black insect, powerful Space Force welling up in his palm. Suddenly, a black insect appeared out of thin air in his hand, as countless forces squeezed and crushed its Bug Armor, green blood continuously spilling out. The same Palm-Sized Heavenly Realm, with or without the enhancement of Space Law Power—the difference in might was like that between heaven and earth. The thousands of black spears that shot towards him froze mid-air, none daring to fall upon Jia Ren.

"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in answering Jia’s question now?"
