Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

Chapter 437 Brilliant as a Shooting Star

Tang Yao said softly, "What do you think my Tang Clan's ultimate technique is? Dan Shi is colorless, tasteless, formless, and intangible. You and I can't even detect it."

His eyes widened in astonishment. As one of the elite inner disciples, he had cultivated diligently in the Tang Tomb for several years and was no stranger to Xu Xin and Dan Shi.

Upon hearing this, Ma Long and the others were deeply shaken.

There was no grand fanfare, no terrifying omens, no wonder no one had ever obtained information about Dan Shi, because the secrecy surrounding this most extraordinary poison in the world exceeded everyone's imagination.

……

"Although we can't see him, Xiao Ding is obviously surrounded by Dan Shi. If he were an enemy of the Tang Clan, he would be dead by now."

Xia Liuqing held her breath. Colorless, odorless, formless, and intangible, such a strange poison was unique to the Tang Clan's Dan Shi, even in the world of supernatural beings.

He could hardly imagine the terror Ding Shian was facing now; he only knew that in the past thousand years, there had indeed been no record of anyone surviving the Dan Shi attack.

Mei Jinfeng nodded solemnly. In this vast world, no one would want to personally experience the terror of Dan Shi!
……

"What happened? Did he get infected?"

Zhang Chulan frowned: "Speaking of which, if it were a one-on-one fight, it seems that this Senior Xu Xin is even worse than me."

Lu Lin shook her head: "I don't know, I only know that he activated a protective technique."

Deeply suspicious, if Xu Xin's warning was true, then the ultimate technique, Dan Shi, must have already appeared.

The weak strength Xu Xin is currently displaying is completely different from the terrifying aura he had sensed earlier; they seem like two completely different people.

Furthermore, the terrifying aura emanating from Xu Xin has completely disappeared, which means that Ding Shian is currently surrounded by Dan Shi.
'If this theory holds true, then Dan Shi is a trap that needs to be set up, waiting for others to actively engage with it!'

Lu Lin pondered.

The problem was that he didn't find any unusual traces around Ding Shian.

There are two possibilities in this situation.

First, Xu Xin is deliberately creating a mystery.

Secondly, the Dan Shi (丹噬) thing is extremely secretive.

As the two were puzzled, Feng Baobao suddenly said, "There are lots of tiny dots around this person..."

Zhang Chulan turned his head: "Huh?"

Feng Baobao blinked: "How can I describe it? It's like a raindrop suspended in mid-air..."

……

Golden flames were reflected in Zhang Huaidan's pupils, and he could clearly see the pills around Ding Shian, which looked like raindrops.

It is colorless, odorless, formless, and intangible.

It was more like a condensation of some kind of Qi, revealing the true nature of this most extraordinary poison in the world.

Even though he hadn't personally experienced it, he still felt a considerable sense of threat.

This brought back a long-held thought to his mind: perhaps...

Zhang Wang couldn't help but ask, "Master Huai Dan possesses supernatural powers; have you seen any traces of Dan Shi?"

Zhang Huaidan nodded slightly.

Zhang Wang sighed inwardly. The Fiery Eyes were a legendary supernatural power, capable of clearly observing even the pills.

While none survive the poison's devouring, it is still a far cry from threatening True Immortal Huai Dan.

Tang Miaoxing couldn't help but sigh, "The word 'supernatural power' is truly mysterious and extraordinary."

The two could only guess at Dan Shi's location based on their experience, but Zhang Huaidan could clearly see it with his eyes. The difference between them was simply too great.

……

In the arena, Xu Xin patted his butt and got up from the ground: "Kid, disperse your protective magic."

Ding Shian gritted his teeth and left as instructed.

Xu Xin smiled and said, "Can you feel it now?"

Ding Shian remained silent, his thoughts transcending the speed of light.

He could feel it just now; the Dan Shi was like a series of miniature black holes, but it was a sense of crisis stemming from life and death.

At this moment, he raised his visualization to its limit, and with Xu Xin's intentional help, the feeling became clearer and clearer.

Colorless, odorless, formless, and intangible, it is like solidified atmosphere, making it impossible to guard against.

Xu Xin said, "This is the Pill Devouring Technique."

With that, he waved his hand, and the Dan Shi surrounding Ding Shian was about to dissipate.

As the sense of danger eased, Ding Shian's tension receded like the tide, but instead of the relief he had imagined, all that was revealed were strangely shaped reefs.

He called out softly, "Wait!"

Xu Xin didn't understand what he meant, and everyone else present was also puzzled.

Ding Shian spat out through gritted teeth, "I haven't experienced the power of the Pill Devouring Technique yet!"

Is simply experiencing it enough to truly learn something?
What does that matter?
Anyone with a meticulous mind could have weathered everything he's going through without serious trouble.

Based on this, how can it be considered that he has surpassed Zhang Huaidan?

As someone of the caliber of the two greatest talents in the world, Ding Shian could not deceive his own conscience.

Therefore, he needs to surpass Zhang Huaidan in some way to find the sense of security he has lost.

Therefore, he could not accept the current situation, which was close yet safe.

A transcendent aura emanated from him, and when he said he wanted to experience the power of the pill-devouring technique, he had already put life and death aside!
……

"Although I don't know what just happened, no one survives the Dan Shi attack. What does Ding Shian mean by this? Does he really not want to live?"

"Exactly! You're crazy!"

"Don't go to this barbershop!"

The Tang Clan members were baffled and suspected that Ding Shian had some kind of mental illness.

Tao Tao, standing in the crowd, seemed lost in thought: "Is it because we're not as stubborn as him that we can't reach his level?"

Ma Long exclaimed in astonishment, "But Sister Tao, he's trying to kill himself!"

Li Yuan'er and Han Yin nodded repeatedly.

……

"What does he mean? Does he want to make contact with Dan Shi?"

Xia Liuqing was taken aback.

"I've never heard of anyone surviving the Dan Shi attack. Why would anyone risk their life?" Mei Jinfeng found it hard to understand.

……

Zhang Chulan got goosebumps all over: "Why do you think he would do that? Didn't he know he was going to die?"

As Zhang Chulan spent more time with Na Du Tong, he gained the trust of more people. Before coming to Tang Sect, he went to the headquarters and, with Zhao Fangxu's permission, specifically looked through his grandfather's information.

Even top-tier experts like my grandfather ultimately perished under the influence of Dan Shi.

Ding Shian was indeed one of the two greatest talents in the world, but he would surely die if he were poisoned by Dan Shi.

So what's the difference between his current actions and courting death?
Zhang Chulan simply couldn't understand it.

"Too persistent."

For a moment, Lu Lin didn't know what to say.

For someone aspiring to climb the highest and most dangerous mountain, encountering Huai Dan is undoubtedly a painful experience.

Ding Shian was willing to risk his life to regain peace of mind. This was clearly an extremely impulsive act.

However, Lu Lin had to admit that she admired Ding Shian to some extent, since everyone's life is only given once and cannot be repeated.

……

Zhang Wang sneered, "This kid is determined to die in the Tang Tomb and defile my Tang Clan's forbidden grounds!"

Compared to outsiders, Zhang Wang was more aware of the power of Dan Shi.

Let alone one Ding Shian, even ten Ding Shians would only die if they actively contacted Dan Shi!

Tang Miaoxing remained silent, only shaking her head inwardly. She glanced subtly at Zhang Huaidan, whose expression remained calm, and sighed inwardly, 'Why did it come to this?'

Are all young people these days so short-tempered?
What kind of stimulation could Ding Shian possibly experience? It was simply that he had seen a goal that he could never surpass in this lifetime.

It should be noted that he and Zhang Wang, as top-tier members and high-ranking members of the Tang Clan, were completely suppressed by Zhang Huaidan.

Even the Tang Clan's thousand-year-old reputation has been lost.

Following Ding Shian's line of thinking, should we line up to receive ten or eight pills?
……

Xu Xin frowned deeply inside the room. What was going on?

He's been in prison for decades and hasn't even had a proper talk with anyone, yet this young man in front of him seems to want to die.

Feeling somewhat helpless, he said in a deep voice, "Kid, I don't know what's bothering you, but you only live once, you're so young, with such a bright future ahead of you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ding Shian had already reached out and grabbed at the air in front of him.

Xu Xin's expression changed slightly. Was he serious?

They wanted to neutralize the poison, but there wasn't enough time, so they could only watch Ding Shian's actions with their own eyes.

Everyone present looked in that direction as well, and for a moment, time seemed to slow down countless times.

……

Ding Shian's eyes were filled with a transcendent light, and his heart was almost in a state of perfect clarity.

The scenes of meeting Zhang Huaidan kept flashing through my mind, and even now, I still can't imagine how such a person could exist in the world.

This question is destined to have no answer.

Then he stopped worrying about it and focused his attention on himself.

Undoubtedly, the failure on the Great Plains left a deep mark on his heart.

However, this does not mean that it is impossible for it to heal gradually over time.

But that devastating defeat spread these traces a thousandfold, and a towering mountain called 'Zhang Huaidan' crushed his heart, standing there as if it had never existed since.

Ding Shian knew that if he could not overcome this mountain, he would inevitably fade into obscurity for the rest of his life.

Therefore, he wanted to defeat Zhang Huaidan once and gain the upper hand over Zhang Huaidan!
To outsiders, such thoughts may seem like childish and ridiculous behavior, but only he himself knows the truth!
He wasn't seeking to reclaim his honor through violence or to prove how great he was; rather, he wanted to gain a kind of strength—a strength to overcome the mountains in his heart! A strength to keep striving forward!

To obtain this power, he disregarded his own life, willing to gamble with his only remaining life! This power was so important to him that he would rather die than fail to obtain it!

With all thoughts focused in one's mind, a radiant light, blending enlightenment and transcendence, shone forth!

Ding Shian's figure blurred at this moment; he was like a dazzling shooting star!

……

Zhang Chulan murmured to himself, "I never expected that Ding Shian would possess such a dazzling brilliance."

He always thought that such brilliance belonged only to Dan!

Lu Lin was deeply shocked: "I saw a lion in his eyes!"

To be fair, Ding Shian was almost mentally deranged in front of Huai Dan.

But in the years before Huai Dan had his current reputation, the two heroes of the world were recognized as the rising stars of the supernatural world!

Even though his glory has diminished, he is still not someone that Lu Jiaqing, the only outstanding young man in the family, can easily provoke!
Ding Shian is willing to risk his life this time, perhaps because this matter truly has extraordinary significance for him!
Lu Lin sighed deeply.

Zhang Chulan, standing beside him, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Why did he stop? Has he already caught Dan Shi?"

Lu Lin came to her senses and looked around. She saw Ding Shian's right arm outstretched, his right hand forming a claw, hovering in the air in front of him.

His entire right arm remained motionless, but the rest of his body was trembling uncontrollably.

Lu Lin said, "He has most likely caught him."

Thinking that one of the two greatest heroes of the world was about to fall today, and with the brilliance that Ding Shian had just displayed still vivid in his mind, he couldn't help but sigh.

……

"That's so stupid."

"It's better to die than live."

"Why bother?"

The Tang Clan members clearly felt the enlightenment and transcendent light that Ding Shian had just released, and the voices of ridicule had disappeared.

In everyone's heart, a sense of respect arose spontaneously. Putting aside everything else, just consider this: how many people in this world can calmly give up their only life and face death?

in the crowd.

Malone said solemnly, "I still can't understand it, but I respect his choice."

Tao Tao said softly, "At that moment, the radiance emanating from Ding Shian was no less than that of Master Huai Dan!"

Li Yuan'er and Han Yin remained silent, only able to let out a soft sigh.

Tang Yao's gaze was deep and unfathomable: "A person who has been poisoned by the pill will die in immense pain; he will not last long."

Although Ding Shian's right hand was as steady as a mountain, the slight trembling of his body betrayed his inner pain.

Although he was someone who inexplicably sought his own death, his courage in accepting the death by Dan Shi is worthy of the respect of all Tang Sect disciples!
……

Zhang Chulan and the others, as well as the members of the Tang Clan, all believed that Ding Shian had been poisoned by Dan Shi, since no one could see the existence of Dan Shi.

Xia Liuqing's eyes widened, sensing something was off: "Hey... something feels off?"

Mei Jinfeng looked over and saw that Ding Shian's right hand was motionless, his body was trembling, and his face showed intense pain.

Everything else is fine, but this pain is undeniable.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Xia Liuqing sighed, "Alas, why does Xiao Ding have to do something so foolish..."

He stopped talking. Yes, from his perspective, Ding Shian's behavior was extremely foolish.

But he was not Ding Shian after all; when he was young, he couldn't even be called a dragon among men.

Regardless, the brilliance that Ding Shian just displayed inspired even the Tang Clan members to respect him.

I have some kind of relationship with him, so I shouldn't make sarcastic remarks.

It can only be said that there are always some people in this world who can make others realize the completely different meanings of the word "life"!

……

Xia Liuqing sensed something was wrong, but wasn't sure; Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang, on the other hand, felt it more clearly.

The two were filled with doubt and surprise. Zhang Wang hesitated before speaking, "It seems..."

On second thought, Ding Shian had just risked his life and earned the respect of everyone present. Though he may have a sharp tongue, he would still take care of the body.

My current speculations seem quite offensive, making me appear like a petty person.

At this time.

Zhang Huaidan, standing beside him, was speechless: "He didn't touch Dan Shi."
