The Quest for Immortality

As if it had heard Mr. Tu’s prayer and scented the aura of the countless living beings of the world, this incomparably bountiful ”offering,” the true body of the Great Wilderness began to descend.

By Mr. Tu’s ear, a terrifying murmur rang out.

That murmur seemed like divine speech, obscure and indistinct, yet clearer than anything before.

This was the tongue of a True God.

Mr. Tu trembled all over with excitement.

This was the first time in his life he had approached the ”Divine Lord” at such close range, to listen to the Divine Lord’s murmur.

In that instant, he felt his faith ”sublimate.”

Mr. Tu was so excited his voice tore a little as he trembled and said:

”Send the Fetus!”

Eighteen Golden Core Demon Path Body Cultivators, covered head to toe in Flood Dragon Monster Patterns, their skin dyed pitch-black by Demonic Qi, muscles knotted, physiques robust and powerful, carried a gigantic White Bone Throne, each step heavy, walking toward the Evil God altar above.

And seated upon the White Bone Throne was a child.

This child was Yu Er.

At this moment he was draped in a black-and-red ceremonial robe, his face pale, his eyes tightly shut; the originally innocent and handsome features were now tainted with a trace of Evil Qi.

His skin was white, but the skin on his back was a dark red.

It was as though his original skin had been flayed off by Mr. Tu, and then a new ”piece” had been ”sewn” on.

The newly ”sewn” skin still bore traces of blood, with obscure lines carved upon it, forming a blackish-blue dragon.

Blood of Karmic Dragon.

Skin of the Azure Dragon.

Immaculate Soul.

This was the most Superior human ”Divine Fetus” Mr. Tu had prepared for his Divine Lord.

The eighteen Golden Core Demon Cultivators hoisted the White Bone Throne, bearing Yu Er, step by step toward the altar, carrying him all the way onto the altar, before the Evil God statue of a human-faced, ram-horned White Bone.

The throne was offering up Yu Er.

And Yu Er was about to hatch the Divine Lord.

After that, the eighteen robust Golden Core Demon Path Body Cultivators had their heads explode one after another, blood and brains splattering all over the ground.

They were mortal flesh; having stepped into the ”altar” of the Evil God’s birth, they could not withstand the Evil God’s pressure and in almost an instant their Sea of Consciousness shattered, their skulls burst, and they died.

The True God’s altar was not a place mortal flesh could set foot upon.

Even Mr. Tu did not dare step into the altar.

These eighteen Golden Core Demon Path Body Cultivators had been destined to die from the very beginning.

All of this was worth it.

Their bodies died, but their Divine Souls, by virtue of their piety, could transform into Demon Monsters and ”live forever” in the Divine Lord’s kingdom.

And their physical bodies were also the final ”offerings”; their flesh, bones, even their viscera were bit by bit refined by the altar and merged into the Formation.

An ancient and evil will descended from the heavens, plunging into Yu Er’s Sea of Consciousness, using his flesh as a womb, slowly incubating within, waiting to ”break the shell,” to be reborn.

The Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation shook, Evil Power surging, emitting a humming roar like the lament of all living things under heaven.

Above the firmament, blood color spread; the clouds were dyed bright red, and the entire sky became like a sea of blood.

And within that sea of blood, a deep blackness welled.

An astonishingly evil will was condensing there, like Divine Thought turned to flesh, exuding black amniotic fluid.

Mr. Tu’s expression grew ever more fanatical.

The Demon Heads with him bore the same maniacal look.

But just at this moment, above the blood sea at the horizon, seven points of starlight flickered, and then blue Starlight descended in broad daylight, piercing through the blood sea, shining directly upon the great mass of black Evil Thoughts, and even passing through the Evil Thoughts, boring straight through the Large Formation, shining into the bloody Maze, into the White Bone Hall, onto the altar, illuminating Yu Er’s face.

The beams of light emitted by those seven points of starlight were like a Seven Stars cage, suppressing the Desolate Heaven Formation, inhibiting the Evil God’s incubation, and obstructing the Blood Sacrifice ritual, temporarily preserving Yu Er’s humanity from being devoured.

Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation!

Mr. Tu was both shocked and furious.

”To obstruct my grand design, to profane the Divine Lord—your crime deserves death ten thousand times over!”

He had just been about to activate the Formation when his expression suddenly changed; he pinched his fingers to divine, paused in a daze for a moment, then could not help but let out a cold laugh:

”So you wish to... link mother and son by heart?”

The Righteous and Demonic were locked in fierce battle, the Blood Sacrifice Array veiled all, and with the Seven Stars enshrouding, the flows of qi were surging and chaotic to the extreme.

On top of that, with True Man Situ deliberately concealing things, there had been matters Mr. Tu could not calculate before.

But now the events had broken out, and the qi flows were exposed.

Added to the rebirth of the Master of the Great Wilderness, Mr. Tu’s evil sensitivity had grown ever keener, and he could now pierce through True Man Situ’s arrangements to roughly deduce Qianxue’s side’s scheme.

Mr. Tu’s expression grew gloomy, then he gave a cold snort and sneer. ”Ignorant mortal flesh, knowing nothing of the Divine Lord’s terror...”

”Since you wish to die, then come. Supplements delivered to my door—I’d be a fool not to take them.”

”And also...”

Mother and child eaten together would conveniently sever causality and eliminate future troubles.

”No one can stop the coming of the Divine Lord!”

”Not even a deity can!”

Mr. Tu’s eyes were icy cold as he stepped forward, walking to the front of the altar. Before a meditation cushion woven from human hair he knelt, bowed three times, then opened the altar and set his methods in motion, borrowing the Evil God’s Telekinesis to drive the blood sacrifice.

Relying on the Blood Sacrifice Array alone would not suffice; he needed to send his soul into dream, to summon the Divine Lord’s servants.

Then, using the Great Wilderness Blood Sacrifice Witchcraft’s shamanic rites to oppose the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation, he would weaken the suppression of the heavens’ stars upon the Divine Lord’s Telekinesis, so that the Divine Lord could achieve rebirth as soon as possible.

Only the Great Wilderness Blood Sacrifice Witchcraft required Evil Thoughts to leave the body.

With the Primordial Spirit Out-of-body, the slightest misstep would easily bring backlash.

He needed someone to guard his fleshly body, and also needed to light a lamp to protect his Primordial Spirit.

Mr. Tu lit a Soul Lamp, then chose three trusted Demon Heads at the Late Golden Core Stage, and summoned seven powerful flesh-and-blood Demon Monsters that were their life-bound companions, giving his orders:
