Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 856: Chapter 380: The Cure for All Suffering in the World

Pitch black.

Everything before his eyes was pitch black. Even with lightning bursting from Li An’s eyes, he still couldn’t see any scene; even with his Divine Sense fully unleashed, he couldn’t perceive the existence of anything at all.

It was as if he had fallen into a place that fundamentally did not exist.

After waiting for a very, very long time, he finally heard a voice coming from not far away:

"Congratulations, Master, felicitations, Master, we’ve finally caught that bastard Li An. From today onward, Master will ascend to the Unrivaled, slay your great enemies, and live eternally, never to perish!"

It was Shangguan Shengxian’s voice.

And another aged voice was icy and sinister: "All thanks to you, my good disciple. If you hadn’t thought up this scheme, I fear Evergreen and Yunluo would have completely framed me and left me without even a place to be buried... Heh heh, my good disciple, how should I thank you?"

"Your disciple has received Master’s favor, been granted an Unrivaled Secret Technique—this is a grace as vast as heaven, impossible to repay in this lifetime. How would I dare speak of thanks? If Master speaks like this, you will crush your disciple."

In Shangguan Shengxian’s words there was actually a trace of panic, and her voice was trembling.

"Heh, then tell me, my good disciple—how did you know that bastard Li An would be able to escape? Hmm?"

A shrill, miserable scream rang out from the darkness. Shangguan Shengxian had no idea what kind of vicious hand she’d fallen into; she shrieked and struggled, her voice breaking intermittently:

"Master... your disciple truly didn’t know... that he could escape... your disciple only thought that if... if Evergreen and Yunluo laid a trap, Master could at least leave behind one remnant soul..."

"Heh heh, you offered the idea yourself, told me to leave a remnant soul—was that purely for my sake?"

Shangguan Shengxian said, "Your disciple... has only ever thought for Master..."

"Did you really think I couldn’t see through you, that you’ve always had the heart of a wolf? With those petty little schemes of yours, you think you’re qualified to play games in front of me?"

The aged voice was full of cold laughter; killing intent was already surging in all directions.

"My younger sister... is Shangguan Xiaoxiao. She obtained the Deceased Spirit’s inheritance—she is still of great use to your eternity..."

The darkness went silent for a moment. At last, a ray of light flared, somewhat dazzling, but Li An still managed to see the scene before him clearly: this seemed to be some sort of cavern hall or palace; however, the darkness was extremely dense, and the edges were completely invisible. The ground was entirely piled with white bones. In the cultivation area, an aged, illusory figure sat cross-legged on a white-bone cushion. Before him, a woman knelt, her whole body trembling.

Shangguan Shengxian!

Li An hadn’t expected that upon seeing Shangguan Shengxian again, she would be in such a wretched state.

That phantom should be the remnant of the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon.

He watched for a few moments; even as a Soul Body, its appearance was terrifying: half its body had turned into a mass of dense fleshy tumours, seven or eight multicolored eyeballs bulged from its eye sockets, its hair had all fallen out, its scalp was shattered, exposing gleaming white bone.

The Heaven-Devouring Great Demon might normally be able to use Mana to maintain his appearance, but now that his true body had been annihilated, that indescribable power was showing itself.

"Is it pretty?"

A cold voice sounded. Li An had already been seized by a force of Secret Power and hurled down before the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon, forced to kneel beside Shangguan Shengxian.

"You... Heaven-Devouring Great Demon!"

Horror appeared in Li An’s eyes as he said, "What is this place?"

"The Hell of No Intervals."

The Heaven-Devouring Great Demon sneered and said, "Heard of it?"

"No..."

"’No Interval’ means everywhere yet nowhere to be found. This is an Unrivaled Law... Heh heh, do you know what ’Unrivaled’ means?"

Without waiting for Li An to ask, he answered himself:

"To share lifespan with heaven is called Immortal Venerable; to share the Great Dao with heaven is called Unrivaled... One who is Unrivaled can drive the Great Dao of heaven, words become law, invincible wherever he goes."

The seventeen or eighteen eyeballs in his eye sockets were all protruding now, revealing a blazing, ravenous ferocious light as he said, "I dug up tombs from ancient times to the present just to obtain a corpse of one who walked the Path of No Interval, and refined this Hell of No Intervals. Now, even Evergreen Immortal Venerable and Yunluo can’t find me!"

"But this place will eventually dissipate. Once the power of the Hell of No Intervals is exhausted, I’ll be exposed right before their eyes, with nowhere to flee. At that time, I’ll have only one road left—to die. Tell me, what should I do?"

Li An was trembling, already terrified to the extreme, unable to speak much. The Heaven-Devouring Great Demon burst into loud laughter and said, "You are my antidote!"

His withered hand landed on Li An’s head, stroking down from Li An’s scalp, as if sensing every inch of Li An’s body. In the end, it stopped at Li An’s lower abdomen where his Dantian lay, sensing through flesh the power of the Life Seed. That power made him almost intoxicated.

"Good, very good..."

The Heaven-Devouring Great Demon praised, then waved his hand. Shangguan Shengxian beside Li An rolled several meters away, a ball of black qi enveloping her so that she couldn’t move at all.

Then he stepped down from the bone cushion, staring at Li An with burning eyes, and said, "My new body—excellent!"

As his words fell, he directly turned into a streak of Demonic Light and plunged into Li An’s Spirit Platform!

Li An’s Primordial Spirit was so terrified he dared not resist in the slightest, directly hiding within his Life Seed. The Heaven-Devouring Great Demon was unhurried; with a cold snort, after entering Li An’s Spirit Platform he began refining Li An’s body and Life Seed.

It made no difference—Li An’s Primordial Spirit, bloodline, Dantian, Life Seed... all of it would be his.

Wherever his Magic Power passed, it quickly seeped into Li An’s limbs and brain. It didn’t take long before he excitedly raised his palm, flexed it a few times, feeling this young, vibrant body, like an old ghost buried for far too long finally seeing the light of day.
