Volume 1, Chapter 44: The Living Yama

This is a remarkably cruel game, entirely devoid of any gentle warmth. Entering the Starry Temple to participate in the Eternal Life Project is by no means a good thing. It can be described as a brutal fire pit; though one might not die immediately, every single day brings the pressure and threat of impending death.

"I actually cannot see through your cultivation realm. Surely it is not merely the Sixth Heavenly Layer?" Ye Fan said.

"These items are all located in Kathmandu, there is no need to seek me out specifically..." Zheng Hao's divine consciousness had already connected with Ancient One's soul, which was instantly locked down as if frozen. A moment later, Zheng Hao absorbed Ancient One's memories—a mere four hundred years of memories required no need for him to duplicate them onto a jade slip.

Gu Yu moved his hands, failing to rise, and then discovered that his wrists were restrained. Not only his hands, but his waist and legs were also firmly secured.

"I am asking you seriously." Zhu Ziting pressed her face and held down my shoulders, forcing me back down.

Gu Yu turned his head. Although the voice was pleasant to the ear, the sight that met his eyes was, unsurprisingly, still a Zerg.

In a fraction of a second, a torrent of blue light surged forward like a raging ocean wave or a falling celestial meteor. Under its ferocious momentum, Dan Li's protective golden light was shattered into pieces. The blue light struck her directly in the chest, and she let out a miserable scream before collapsing to the ground, vomiting blood.

Upon returning home, he found Li Mengqi sitting on the sofa clutching a toy bear, her glasses rimmed with red.

Xuan Zhenghao then stepped forward to gently embrace Yongle and kissed her on the lips. "Have you been well today?" Xuan Zhenghao asked.

"What are you... still thinking about?" Ji Yuoxiao's mind was in utter turmoil. She had already made her intentions obvious enough, yet this fellow simply refused to take the initiative. If things continued this way, even she had no idea what to do next.

Before everyone present, Jia Huan placed the copper coin inside a handkerchief, then folded it over and over again.

Brother Cong was only teasing you. Seeing that you were annoyed, Ping'er momentarily failed to collect her thoughts, assuming you were still by her side, and naturally tried to persuade you first.

Earlier, in order to block that single blow, Que had recalled all the Polaris stars to his side, leaving the darkness stripped of its restraint and control.

Seeing that the general trend was lost, Ron had no choice but to go with the flow—please ignore the expression on his face as if he were mourning his parents, and the tiny glistening tears at the corners of his eyes.

He ordered the Yaowu, Lianwu, Xiaoyong, Guyu, Shenwei, and Zhenwei Camps to lead out thirty thousand troops, leaving another thirty thousand in reserve.

He emitted a low laugh, sounding less like a power-brokering schemer and entirely like an absolute madman, a psychological anomaly, a terminally ill patient.

Such was the custom of the Chen State. Outlying remote villages naturally would not abide by such constraints, but in prosperous regions, these etiquettes were by no means to be neglected.

After missing with his punch, the elderly Jonin-level man immediately pressed forward relentlessly toward Dongfang Yunyang. At the same time, his hands formed hand seals at blinding speed, and rolling bolts of lightning erupted from all around his body.

Leaves as thin as cicada wings and the color of jade swayed in the wind, their rustling sound exceedingly pleasant to the ear. Jiang Chang'an instantly felt refreshed and relaxed; these Daoist insights were enough to let him take a massive stride forward on the path of pioneering a cultivation method.

He walked a few steps toward the door, then turned back. Hu Yaru looked at him in bewilderment, her heart drumming with anxiety lest the counted money had indeed turned out wrong.

With a snap of Yi's fingers, a bright moon slowly emerged from behind the dark clouds in the night sky, casting its moonlight across the earth and piercing through the aquatic dome.

In Changsheng's view, Old Master Liu acted with a rather naive sentiment, and furthermore harbored a sense of hesitation and overcaution afterward.

Lu Huai'an sought me out a few times later, saying that the volunteer matches were all less than ideal. My only hope now rests on finding Zhao Zhiguo, in order to possibly salvage Zhao Piangsheng's life.

Yet ten thousand years had passed, and no one knew whether those seven Tier 5 Transcendent-mortal realm Demon race entities from back then were still alive.

Everyone in the main hall of the profound Heavenly Palace was naturally familiar with soul-attracting crystals. It could be said that back when they were below the Golden Immortal realm, they had spent a great deal of time wallowing in the spiritual soul space for hunting.

In fact, she had already detected Madam Song's dissatisfaction just moments ago, and she knew that Jiang Xuefeng must have stepped in to instigate it.

Jiang Beiqiao had no intention of doing anything to Su Yuanxi; with so many people watching, any action would be entirely unnecessary.

Then he made a very odd gesture, pulling her close and leaning his ear in to listen intently to something before nodding.

"On the verge of parting, one must always leave behind some special memories." Ji Linghao lowered his gaze, looking at the lovely creature in his arms, and leaned down for a deep kiss.

After killing the poison master, the monk lunged toward the zither master, but this time he did not succeed. Lian Yuqin lightly leaped and flew right over his head, and by the time the monk turned around to pursue her again, the golden light on his body had already vanished. This state had lasted for roughly ten seconds.

The sound was so deafening that even Ye Tian, whose cultivation had already reached the Martial Attendant realm, felt his eardrums ring with dizziness, let alone the thirty thousand soldiers who had not even attained the Martial Artist realm.

"Right, take off your shirt and boxers, and wear this outfit underneath. What are you standing there stunned for, go change! If you're shy, you can go to the bedroom to change; it'll make it all the more anticipatory and impactful," Zhan Liuyun said with a grin.

"Xiao Fan, what's wrong?" Tong Hong looked at Li Xiaofang in blank incomprehension and asked. But by this time, Li Xiaofang had already left the living room.

"Those who block me shall die!" Mantian's roar resounded loudly, and instantly, his enormous physique grew even taller. At that moment, Mantian's eyes widened, making him appear exceptionally savage.

Boom. The next moment, a towering golden sea of fury emerged above Xiao Xuan's head, where giant waves reached the sky to strike the firmament, and a divine bridge shrouded in profound light stood amidst the roaring sea, unshakeable as a reef.
