Chapter 263 Approaching Immortality, He Reappears
Arm muscles bulging
The force of his fist was like a raging torrent.
The space was filled with sonic booms and cracked inch by inch. This attack directly shook the space and stepped into the Nascent Soul stage.

"boom!"

"Crack!"

A dazzling golden light shone everywhere, and blood and flesh splattered from Li Wushou's fist, revealing his gnarled and gleaming bones, which were even covered with cracks.

Bone regenerates, flesh wriggles, and the wounds on the fist are constantly repaired.

Li Wushou paid no attention to this; he quietly watched the constantly cracking fragments of the star before him, his mind in turmoil.

The blessing from his Golden Core Dragon Seed far exceeded his expectations.

According to the Dragon King, this blessing should only apply to the physical body, but what he just felt was not like that.

The moment the phantom entered his body, he felt that he had the power of heaven and earth around him under his control. Although he did not deliberately mobilize it, the power of heaven and earth actively assisted him.

This feeling was even more intoxicating to Li Wushou than the Three-Inch Heaven and Earth Domain, as if the heavens and earth were pleasing him.

At the same time, Li Wushou felt his divine soul power surge out, instantly spreading across most of Evil Calamity Island.

It was like the feeling of looking down from Li Wushou's high vantage point, only it was cold and indifferent, a kind of disregard that was very different from Li Wushou's emotions.

He saw the five clan elders unconscious;
They saw the comatose evil spirits;
At the same time, I also saw a dark figure standing frozen in place;

And the black stone stained with blood and flesh among the star fragments.

So he directly overturned the opponent's star formation and shattered the star fragment with a punch.

Li Wushou knew very little about this state, nor did he know how to define it.

However, considering what the Dragon King said before about the near-immortal body of the innate spirit, and that the dragon seed was actually created to nurture this near-immortal body, then the state just now should be near-immortal.

Indeed, only immortals are qualified to win the favor of heaven and earth, right?

Moreover, his own Golden Core Dragon Seed had only replenished one-tenth of its power, yet it possessed such might?

Li Wushou also found it hard to believe; this was far more powerful than the Dragon King had described.

What if all of this is filled in?
At that time, perhaps I will be an immortal?
For the first time, Li Wushou felt that immortals were so close to him!

"Click... click..."

The sound of shattering echoed continuously as the star fragments, spanning two zhang in diameter, suddenly shattered.

The magnetic force was abnormally chaotic, stirring the void, but it was directly extinguished by the aura surrounding Li Wushou.

"Buzz..."

A black stone the size of a human head slowly rose from the fragments of silver stars.

With a thought, Li Wushou quietly gathered the power of heaven and earth, pushing the black stone to his side.

With his eyes slightly lowered, Li Wushou looked down at the stone, where the flesh and blood attached to it kept writhing and trembling.

The prison that held him captive shattered, and the extraterrestrial god, who should have been extremely excited, felt terrified instead.

Especially during the moment Li Wushou gazed at him, he felt his remaining spirit sinking deeper and deeper, as if he were about to fall into an endless abyss.

He tried to struggle, but he lost all initiative; his mind was firmly suppressed and he could not move an inch.

A feeling of suffocation permeated my mind.

Are you dying?

The extraterrestrial god was in a daze!

Suddenly, a soft, slightly questioning voice echoed in my mind:

"An extraterrestrial true god?"

"Hoo...!"

A dry sound rang out on the black stone, followed by heavy breathing.

Although it was just a mass of flesh and blood, without a mouth or nose, it was like a drowning person being pulled ashore and gasping for air. The extraterrestrial god was trying to relieve the suffocation in his mind through this panting of his soul.

Shock, disbelief, and in the instant he was able to speak, the extraterrestrial god unconsciously murmured:

"You...are...an immortal?"

Seeing the dazed state of the extraterrestrial true god, Li Wushou immediately felt that this was a rare opportunity to parasitize him.

The power of the soul begins to capture and simulate the rhythm of the other party's soul.

In this near-immortal state, it would be extremely easy for Li Wushou to do this.

They moved in unison, their souls returning to their bodies and flesh.

Through repeated cycles and interactions of the soul, parasitism is completed.

Li Wushou successfully refined his third incarnation.

A slight smile appeared on Li Wushou's lips; he felt delighted.

Although I was quite confident in transforming the extraterrestrial true god into an avatar, I never imagined it would be so smooth and so fast!
Before they could even begin to grasp the state of this extraterrestrial god, the old beggar in the Three Immortals Pavilion suddenly spoke solemnly:
"Quickly remove the blessing from the Golden Core Dragon Seed!"

The moment the old beggar spoke, Chen Gou'er, his face tense, picked up the incense burner and sat on the three-legged square table.

Upon seeing this, Li Wushou's mind sharpened. Without asking why, he subconsciously restrained his divine soul.

As his soul rapidly retreated from Evil Calamity Island, Li Wushou realized that a dense, eerie mist had gathered above the entire island.

Its concentration is even approaching that of the Lost Land.

Is it the thing that chased them twice?
How could they have managed to chase us all the way outside the Land of Misfortune?

Or is it that the other party actually lives in the mysterious fog?
Regardless, Li Wushou was inexplicably filled with anger, and violence was growing in his mind.

The old beggar seemed to sense his thoughts.

He took a step forward, emerging from the vertical line between his brows. Golden light flickered in his hand, and he reached out and placed his hand on Li Wushou's shoulder.

"not the right time yet!"

Li Wushou's restless mind calmed down. He tilted his head slightly to look at the old beggar and said earnestly:

"The matter of the Heavenly God in Huazhou has been resolved; I would like to have a talk with you!"

The old beggar's hand, which was resting on Li Wushou's shoulder, trembled slightly before he smiled and replied:
"it is good!"

Li Wushou nodded slightly, said no more, and with a thought, the figure transformed from the Golden Core Dragon Seed left his body.

Qi, blood, spiritual power, and soul quietly dispersed and retreated back into the golden core.

The golden core trembled, then returned to the dantian along the vertical line between the eyebrows.

Li Wushou hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power and blood energy to nourish the Golden Core Dragon Seed.

The next moment, a feeling of weakness spread throughout my body, as if I had lost all my strength.

Is this the side effect the Dragon King was talking about?

Li Wushou couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, knowing that he had just swallowed thirty-six Golden Core evil spirits.

Although these Golden Core evil spirits had been nearly killed by the extraterrestrial gods, they were still an extremely powerful force.

However, after carefully sensing it, Li Wushou discovered that although the power had been greatly depleted, there were still some remnants, which were now being slowly absorbed into the Golden Core Dragon Seed.

Moreover, due to his near-immortal state of absorption, Li Wushou no longer needed to silently recite "Eat Heaven" to directly extract its essence and discard its dross.

Looking back at my own body, the feeling of weakness was more in my mind than in my body.

It seems that in order to master such a near-immortal body, it is especially important to improve one's own spirit and mind.

The depiction was somewhat similar to the infant paintings the artist created for Elder Yun and the others.

Li Wushou suddenly understood.

But now is not the time to ponder these things. The old beggar looked up and pondered. Li Wushou then looked out of the pit. The eerie mist in the sky was quietly churning, as if it were lingering or sensing something.

Seeing this, the old beggar thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and exhaled a cloud of mist towards the floating black stone.

The mist quietly lifted the black stone out of the pit and hovered above the swamp.

At the same time, the old beggar turned to Li Wushou and said:
"Guide this extraterrestrial true god to harness the star core and unleash its full power!"

Star Core? Li Wushou was taken aback at first, then realized that the star core must refer to the black stone. The old beggar actually recognized that thing among the star fragments?
Li Wushou was somewhat puzzled, but now was not the time to press for answers.

He vaguely guessed that the old beggar was trying to use the aura of an extraterrestrial god to deceive the thing that had been chasing them.

So he did as the old beggar had instructed.

The divine soul subtly fluctuated, guiding the true god from beyond the realm.

The extraterrestrial god, who had been in a daze, suddenly snapped to attention.

After observing his surroundings, he burst into loud laughter.

In his mind, he had finally broken free from the imprisonment of the star core.

From then on, he was free to fly in the sky and leap in the sea. He finally regained his freedom and could freely collect offerings to restore himself.

"Hahaha, I'm free! I'm finally free!"

The flesh and blood attached to the star core writhed continuously, and a vast magnetic force suddenly erupted from the star core, shooting straight into the churning, eerie mist in the sky.

At this moment, the power of the true god is fully revealed!

The eerie mist churned and churned, as if it had finally discovered something, before slowly dissipating from the sky above Evil Calamity Island.

The arrogant and domineering extraterrestrial god seemed to be completely ignored by the other party.

After confirming that it was merely an extraterrestrial god who had escaped, the other party left directly.

Li Wushou watched all of this quietly.

He was not pleased that the aura of the extraterrestrial god had deceived the other party; on the contrary, his killing intent intensified.

After these few encounters, Li Wushou had also made some observations about the other party's condition.

Those who pursue their interests seem to lack intelligence?

This thing is more like a puppet with certain rules set for it, or perhaps a monitoring mechanism?
What is known is that "incense offerings and religious practices" and "cultivation of immortality" are both under the strict surveillance of the other party.

Once you cross a certain boundary set by the other party, the other party will appear.

Li Wushou was unsure whether this oversight mechanism targeted only the Three Immortals Pavilion or everyone in the world, and he didn't care.

Because it makes little difference to him!

In Li Wushou's perception, the other party had been targeting the Three Immortals Pavilion all along.

All Sanxianguan wanted was to eat and drink their fill. Such a simple and honest wish, yet the other party targeted them time and time again. Is there no justice in this world?

The old beggar will come if he burns too much incense; the other party will also come if I summon a near-immortal body; will he also come if Chen Gou'er shows his butt one day?
He hated the feeling of being watched and relentlessly pursued.

Why does he want to become an immortal?

Isn't it all for a leisurely life, to eat and drink to one's heart's content?

The feeling of having a sharp sword hanging over his head, ready to strike at any moment, made Li Wushou extremely unhappy.

I'll kill him one day!

Seeing the eerie fog dissipate, the old beggar beside him lowered his guard and patted Li Wushou on the shoulder, saying:

"Let's go, let's go up and see that extraterrestrial true god!"
