The path of cultivation, the path of inquiry, is difficult, difficult, difficult!
There are too many uncertainties within it.
The path of cultivation, the path of inquiry, is difficult, difficult, difficult!
There are too many uncertainties within it.
One’s own inner tribulations, walking outer demons, truly countless, even when cultivated to the Realm of Xu Fu and others, or like Chen Xuzi refining True Qi, seeking to achieve the level of Path Determination.
More or less, you need a certain luck in this.
This is what cultivators refer to as their own fortune, which is part of strength, despite sounding somewhat ethereal, yet it truly exists.
Should one achieve like Chang Xin, it is indeed a rarity, few in a generation.
And now, after standing for a long time, Lu Ren has finally confirmed that he is likely facing the worst third scenario: stepping into the Path of Origin within the Inner Realm, where outer demons have long been stationed, waiting for Lu Ren.
"Ding, you seem to have been sucked into a crevice in an unknown space, where the rules are chaotic, chaos abundant, and the world’s origin is broken, leading into the end of times."
Here is a gently undulating grassland, sunlight dim, shaded grassland, everything looks quite normal.
Lu Ren’s face is solemn, for him, it is like the dusk before the end, vitality depleted, only the consciousness of the world remains.
According to Chang Xin’s words, upon stepping into the Path of Origin in the Inner Realm, then being pulled into an unknown space, it is likely that he has already attracted outer demons, thereby being stationed, just waiting for Lu Ren.
He slightly moved his body, his complexion somewhat poor, this nearly depleted world rejects foreign energy extremely.
Or rather, he himself is already a misfit in this post-apocalyptic world, the consciousness of the world will reject nearly madly.
According to normal logic, he would be instantly squeezed out of this world, back to the original reality, but despite being targeted, he remains in this world.
Has the ejection mechanism been broken?
Lu Ren pondered in his heart, now wanting to return, he must find the origin of this world first.
Until now, Lu Ren still has doubts in his heart, is this an illusion, or through stepping onto the Path of Origin, is it truly able to activate the traversal mechanism?
Despite the system’s prompt, Lu Ren still feels slightly unreal.
He looked at the distant, obviously somewhat western-style dilapidated castle, moss-covered, stone walls covered with cracks, and a large opening, seeming to have suffered an extremely fierce attack.
Moreover, in the extreme distance, a gigantic, half-missing ring stands between heaven and earth, appearing incredibly grand.
With an exploratory mindset, Lu Ren walked forward along this direction, along the road, he saw remnants of corpses everywhere, with broken weapons scattered all around.
Judging by the marks, it has been years.
Casually picking up a longsword tightly gripped by a skeleton, which seemed still intact, this longsword was entirely cast from fine steel, its blade was covered with gaps, yet among the remnants of weapons here, its quality was quite decent.
This end-of-times world suppresses too fiercely, yet without an ejection mechanism, he faintly foresees that if he releases his True Power without restraint, with full force, it might attract attention from certain beings.
Thus, weapons, instead, currently serve as a better strategy.
This longsword appears relatively western-style, without much adornment, though it’s a single-handed sword, the hilt still leaves enough space to hold with both hands.
Yet for Lu Ren’s broad hands, it actually seems somewhat petite.
Taking the Sword Scabbard from the skeleton remains, wearing it on his waist, returning the sword to the sheath, he continued onward slowly. Orıginal content can be found at novel·fiɾe·net
Traveling a certain distance along this broken road, he finally stopped his steps not far from the castle, looking at the three humanoid figures seated by the bonfire, clad entirely in Steel Armor.
Indeed only able to be called humanoid, these fellows lifted their visors, slowly gnawing the corpses of their own kind, their eyes appeared incredibly cloudy, almost lacking any consciousness.
Lu Ren looked up at the setting sun gradually tilting westward, and the other side where a moon was rising.
This satellite planet was extremely close; by eye, one could see the meteoric craters on its surface, as tall as four or five stories.
Seemingly sensing Lu Ren’s footsteps, the Steel Armored Warriors made a rumbling beastly growl from their throats, closing their visors, rising and drawing Steel Swords, charging at Lu Ren with Long Halberds in hand.
Lu Ren’s expression was calm, despite this world’s intense suppression against outsiders, it’s not that Lu Ren couldn’t use his power; rather, to appear subdued, not so noticeable, he chose not to draw attention from certain unknown entities.
The higher the increase in strength, the more Lu Ren feels the need for caution.
With a slight shift in steps, he sidestepped lightly, drawing the Longsword, stabbing through gaps in the Steel Armored Warriors, the blade pierced through the air, instantaneously shredding; in less than half a second, the three charging Steel Armored Warriors ended.
To prevent the possibility of these Steel Armored Warriors’ resurrection, Lu Ren particularly prepared additional strikes.
With precision, the worn, gap-filled Longsword targeted vital areas through visor gaps and armor gaps.
"Ding, you have killed undead contaminated warriors."
Mad, even now, there isn’t any Skill Level yet.
Lu Ren felt a bit miffed in his heart, yet didn’t mind too much; truthfully, if he unleashed his power, these Steel Armored Warriors charging might wilt merely within his Qi domain, Lu Ren could extinguish their souls with just a glance.
Lu Ren was not in a hurry to move forward, but crouched down, stripping the armored warriors’ Steel Armor, meticulously researching and dissecting these so-called undead contaminated warriors.
Are undead also contamination?
With curiosity, Lu Ren busied himself for half the day until the moon hung in the sky, the Star River traversed north and south, before somewhat thoughtfully pausing his actions.
In front, the corpses of these three warriors have been dismantled into fragments, confirming that their cells have undergone mutation.
The cells do not operate through an aging mechanism but remain in a relatively static state; however, once active, the energy consumption of these cells is quite severe, even showing signs of collapse.
Yet as activity ceases and they enter a feeding state, internal cells start to stabilize.
Quite a nuisance of being undead.
Lu Ren set a judgment on this in his heart; the souls of these Steel Armored Warriors have been entirely reshaped.
