Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 610 Turning Point. (First Update!)

Below the hillside, amidst a blood mist.

Zheng Que stood in mid-air, his robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes darting around, constantly looking in all directions.

All around was silent, and there was no trace of the "monster in the belly." It seemed that this "monster" was no longer here.

However, Zheng Que remained vigilant and did not let his guard down.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly, without warning, a hole appeared in the ground directly below him. With a sound of mud and sand sliding down, the "Demon in the Belly" sprang out like a venomous snake emerging from its hole. Its mouth, full of sharp teeth, opened wide and viciously bit at him.

Zheng Que's gaze immediately locked onto the "trick in the belly," and then he flipped his right palm and slapped it downwards.

The black and white palm prints, intertwined with yin energy and true essence, whistled and brought with them a chilling wind, striking the rising "belly monster" solidly.

boom! ! !
The "Demon in the Belly" stiffened, like a kite with a broken string, and was instantly thrown back into the hole in the ground, making the hole even bigger. Countless grains of sand rushed into the hole, burying its body in the blink of an eye.

At this point, Zheng Que's true essence was severely depleted, and the "unpredictable" nature of the Iron Tree Prison made it significantly stronger than the early-stage Core Formation cultivators he had encountered before.

However, with the [Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand] taught to him by Yan Bingyi, he was not inferior to his opponent in a direct confrontation.

Of course, most importantly, he knew the true nature of this "devourer in the belly." As long as he didn't open his mouth in front of it, this "devourer in the belly" wouldn't be able to unleash its true power.

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Li immediately looked up at the sky.

The "devouring monster" that he had just driven into the ground had somehow quietly appeared above his head, turning nimbly like a fish and charging towards him again.

The sharp teeth reflected a cold light in the sunlight, clearly eager to devour Zheng Que's flesh.

Zheng Que unleashed another "United Hearts Ghost Hand" attack.

boom! !

The "Demon in the Belly" was blasted backward, its long body dragging in mid-air like a straight line.

At this moment, the "weird" creature was covered in wounds, with most of the sharp teeth in several of its mouths missing, and its entire body had become much duller, clearly indicating that its injuries were not minor.

Seeing this, Zheng Que knew with certainty that this "devouring monster" wouldn't last much longer!
Thinking of this, he was about to press his advantage when he suddenly realized something and immediately looked behind him.

Not far behind him, on the edge of the battlefield, the [Scissors Prison] ghost servant he had used as a backup plan was slowly opening its mouth.

not good!

Zheng Que's expression changed drastically. He hadn't controlled the ghost servant; the ghost servant had opened its mouth on its own!
Before he could think any further, one end of the "Demon in the Belly" that he had just blasted away began to collapse rapidly, turning into a long rainbow that, in the nick of time, escaped into the mouth of the [Scissors Prison] ghost servant.

Zheng Que tried to stop it, but before he could even cast the spell, "Demon in the Belly" had already completely entered the mouth of the ghost servant.

The next moment, the ghost servant's mouth closed!

Unlike its previous feeding, "The Devourer in the Belly" showed no intention of devouring the "fierce spirit" this time. Instead, after it entered the "fierce spirit's" belly, the "fierce spirit's" aura surged, instantly upgrading from the aura of [Scissors Prison] to that of [Iron Tree Prison].

A strong, malevolent aura immediately emanated from the ghost servant.

The "evil spirit" slowly raised its head, its gaze fixed on Zheng Que.

Zheng Que's pupils contracted. He had lost control of the "fierce spirit." Now, that ghost servant had become a puppet of the "devouring monster"!
Realizing this, Zheng Que was about to make a move when the "fierce spirit" suddenly vanished from his sight...

Zheng Que reacted quickly, and hurriedly shifted his body to the side.

Almost at the same moment he dodged, a dark blue claw slashed fiercely across the spot where he had just been standing.

brush!
The sound of something cutting through the air reached his ears after a delay; the "fierce spirit" from before had already appeared behind him!
This is the [Wandering of the Underworld]!
If Zheng Que had been just a fraction of a second slower, the battle would already be over.

Ignoring his surprise, Zheng Que circulated his inner energy and slammed his right hand behind him. [United Hearts Ghost Hand]!
boom! !

The black and white palm prints resounded with a tremendous commotion, but in the end, they only struck the empty ground in the distance, creating a wide crater in the ground.

Yin energy and true essence, along with flying sand and stones, dispersed, leaving the interior empty.

The "fierce spirit" had already dodged, and the palm strike completely missed its mark.

puff! !

The next moment, the dark blue claws pierced through Zheng Que's chest from behind.

Zheng Que froze for a moment, then looked down at the bluish-black claws protruding from his chest. His fingertips twitched slightly, as if he were making a final struggle, and then...

puff puff puff...

In an instant, Zheng Que was torn to pieces.

The dismembered body pieces scattered like dust, yet no blood flowed. Before they even hit the ground, they transformed into fragments of ghostly remains brimming with yin energy...

The battle is over!

Zheng Que only lasted two moves against the "Demon in the Belly" who had acquired a host body!

far away.

Half empty.

Watching this battle, full of twists and turns from beginning to end, the two examiners were speechless for a long time, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.

They initially thought that Zheng Que was no match for that "unpredictable" creature, but as a Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment cultivator, he should be able to fight it for a few rounds.

Then, Zheng Que was instantly killed by the "weiqi" as soon as he arrived, and they didn't even have a chance to help him!

But just when they thought Zheng Que was doomed, he used a ghost servant as a substitute and caught the "Strange Iron Tree Prison" off guard.

Furthermore, he left a ghost servant as a backup plan!

At this point, in their view, Zheng Que had clearly secured victory.

But in the blink of an eye, Zheng Que's contingency plan became the key to breaking the "unpredictable" situation of the [Iron Tree Prison], and directly turned the tables and killed Zheng Que!

They guessed not a single detail of the entire battle correctly!

After a long silence, the examiner on the left said somewhat awkwardly via telepathy, "This 'weird' creature's strength has suddenly become quite formidable."

"However, Zheng Que's true form doesn't seem to be here."

Upon hearing this, the examiner on the right finally came to his senses. Through the thick blood mist, he looked at the "fierce spirit" standing in mid-air below the hillside. He saw the "fierce spirit" suddenly turn around and head away in one direction. He immediately transmitted his voice and said, "That 'weird' has escaped. It must have gone to find Zheng Que's main body."

"Let's follow!"

"Zheng Que's true form will likely engage in a second battle with this 'weird' creature."

"If the examinee's physical body is no match, then we will intervene!"

The examiner on the left immediately nodded: "Good!"
