Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear

Chapter 262: Break to Build


Wang Wu silently accepted the Third Grade Tyrant Demon Pill, but the feeling of danger remained intense and heightened, yet he had no choice.

This Yin Fire likely possessed a causal relationship within a certain range, where all living beings served as its fuel.

Standing still wouldn't solve the problem, but once he moved, he would be burned to ashes.

No one could escape.

Therefore, he had to give it a try.

Hmm, hopefully, his 1500 years of longevity would come in handy.

Last time in Shaman Village, according to Big Black Pig, Old Man Sha had experienced Yin Fire, costing him a thousand years of longevity.

Next, he handed over his storage pouch, the piece of Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf, and the Small Tripod to General Xuelang once again, even removing his clothes, just in case he survived, these would still be useful.

Only then did he slowly, resolutely, extract his hand from General Xuelang's hand, take a deep breath, and step toward that wisp of Pale Fire. At this moment, he felt nothing unusual, except the increasingly intense Danger Perception, which directly exploded.

Then came the second step, the third step, still no anomalies.

But the moment he took the fourth step, without any forewarning, he suddenly felt the scenery ahead transform into an endless Purgatory.

Burning flames were everywhere, it was as if he had entered a Different Dimension, and the flames here were multicolored, ever-changing.

Then his entire body began to burn.

It wasn't a simple burn; it was a burn on different levels.

The black flames burned his soul.

The red flames burned his bones.

The green flames burned his viscera.

The purple flames burned his flesh.

The golden flames burned his demon pill.

In contrast, the Third Grade Tyrant Demon Pill given by General Xuelang remained unscathed, seemingly untouched by the rules.

No pain, no suffering, only numbness, and release.

It was as if he had completely given up resistance, feeling that nothing mattered anymore, better to burn out, better to turn to a pile of yellow dirt, let the dust fly.

For a moment, Wang Wu didn't even ponder who he was.

Until he was suddenly awakened.

It was the Overlord Body Demon Pill imprinted with Danger Perception that forcibly activated again, enhancing his Danger Perception to Level 20.3, and only then did Wang Wu awaken from that desolate, hopeless dream.

Too terrifying!

Without hesitation, he swallowed the Third Grade Tyrant Demon Pill, then activated the Inner Breathing Technique, maneuvering Qi and Blood Circulation, simultaneously mobilizing the Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi, exerting Innate and Acquired forces!

Only then barely maintaining the situation.

But by this time, he was almost burned into a skeleton.

All his demon pills were severely damaged, and his two spirit pills were seriously damaged, the Heart of the Earth was damaged, and his bloodline was damaged.

The Qi and Blood Circulation just started to circulate, then broke again.

At this moment, he seemed unable to rescue himself.

But fortunately, the Third Grade Tyrant Demon Pill from General Xuelang played an unimaginable role at this moment, it melted.

No, it was General Xuelang who chose to actively melt, otherwise, according to the rules of Yin Fire, this demon pill wouldn't have been harmed.

Endless Qi and blood and spiritual energy surged out, frantically healing, frantically buying a little buffer time.

Even if it was only three seconds, this Third Grade Tyrant Demon Pill, representing half of General Xuelang's cultivation, representing its eight hundred years of longevity, completely dissipated.

And within these three seconds, Wang Wu managed to once again establish the Qi and Blood Circulation, reconstructing the Ice and Fire Spiritual Energy Circulation.

Through layer upon layer of barriers, through mutual support, sparing no cost to press forward.

Finally stabilizing the situation again.

And this time, Wang Wu's vision, his Perception finally left that bizarre unknown space, he returned to reality, he was still in the ocean, with seemingly no change around, except for that wisp of Pale Fire still burning around his body.

Yes, that wisp of Pale Fire actually adhered to his body.

Like an incredibly powerful evil spirit, intent on devouring him, grinding him to dust!

Wang Wu could only do everything in his power to maintain himself, to maintain the Qi and Blood Circulation, to maintain the operation of Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi, and to maintain the unity of Innate and Acquired.

At this moment, under the suppression of this Pale Fire, his Innate Bloodline System and Acquired Spirit Root System fused once again at a deep level, some aspects that originally required maintaining their differences quickly reconciled, no longer hesitating, directly achieving the best form to work together, jointly combating the Pale Fire.

It was as if life itself was seeking a way out.

But the battlefront did not end, instead, it expanded.

Wang Wu could clearly feel that his longevity was being consumed.

This was even more terrifying and perverse than the Evil Wind Bone Plague, the Evil Wind at least allowed for a chance of healing, this Yin Fire just consumed longevity directly!

One hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years!

The relentless confrontation continued with no end in sight.

The Pale Fire became increasingly troublesome, no longer visible outside his body, for it had already entered within Wang Wu's body.

Every second was a battlefield of corpses and seas of blood, every bit of flesh had to go through fierce scrambles and battles.

The Pale Fire attacked relentlessly, while Wang Wu's Innate and Acquired powers fought tooth and nail for every inch.

Both sides slaughtered each other, contending, battling fiercely.

The amount of Pale Fire reduced, but the price Wang Wu paid for it increased exponentially.

Five hundred years, eight hundred years, one thousand years!

Wang Wu had already lost a thousand years of longevity, but this was the cost of fighting for every inch.

Of course, he still had his trump card, which was the companion demon vine, as well as the third-grade Bright Demon Pill left to him by She Shoujiu.

This pale fire was very bizarre; it only attacked a single target.

Just like the previous third-grade Tyrant Demon Pill, since it belonged to General Xuelang, it would not burn at all.

Similarly, although the companion demon vine was a companion, as long as Wang Wu did not activate it, it would not be attacked by the pale fire.

The third-grade Bright Demon Pill was the same.

At a critical moment, Wang Wu could throw them into the battlefield.

But he didn't do that.

Because he already saw the dawn of victory.

The wisp of pale fire now was only the size of a fingernail, already surrounded by his Qi and blood circulation, and Ice and Fire Spiritual Energy circulation.

It even wanted to escape!

But having paid such a great price, how could Wang Wu let it slip away!

He wanted to capture it!

He would not make Old Man Sha's mistake!

But how to capture it was a skill, and it also needed timing.

So Wang Wu still, calmly and resolutely, used his lifespan and Qi blood to exchange for progress.

A thousand and two hundred years passed.

A thousand and three hundred years passed.

Soon it would reach the limit.

And that wisp of pale fire's volume had dwindled to the size of a grain of rice.

But Wang Wu remained unshakable, showing no sign of intent.

Continuing to grind it down and exchange his life force for victory.

Until his lifespan was exhausted down to fifteen hundred years, and the pale fire had shrunk to the size of a millet grain, only then did Wang Wu reveal his hidden plan.

Through the modulation of Qi and blood circulation, he directly pushed it towards the acquired Fire Spirit Pill.

In that instant, the pale fire, previously appearing like a dying fish resigned to its fate, suddenly burst into a frenzy, catching the Fire Spirit Pill as if it was about to explode.

But in the next moment, Wang Wu manipulated his Qi blood, mobilizing the Ice Spirit Pill to suppress it, equating to pressing down its head and limbs, forcibly letting his Fire Spirit Pill devour it!

At this moment, Wang Wu was screaming, because the fusion of the Fire Spirit Pill and the wisp of pale fire was no less than blocking molten iron with tender cucumbers.

However, his Fire Spirit Pill was ultimately not a cucumber, its essence being Red Flame Spiritual Qi, so after enduring the initial torment, he successfully contained the needle-point-sized wisp of pale fire, then using the special nature of the Ice and Fire Spirit Pill to seal it.

After all this struggle, Wang Wu's current stage of lifespan was reduced to just a year.

But he was still alive, and being alive felt so good!

"Plop!"

He lay back facing the sky, floating on the surging sea, watching the blue sky and white clouds, feeling so good.

With difficulty, he turned his head, glancing at the nearby General Xuelang, who could no longer maintain human form, equally weak while floating on the water, having lost a third-grade Tyrant Demon Pill, which cost it half its strength, eight hundred years of lifespan, and this was a severe injury, difficult to recover from in decades.

So Wang Wu painstakingly got up again, holding General Xuelang, stumbled to a reef, both barely hanging on, the feeling of surviving a catastrophe was quite nice.

Only at this point did the Inheritance Soul Jade+ attribute bar hesitantly send over some identification information, uncertainly.

"You made a big move; the bad news is you lost 1534 years of lifespan, you are about to enter the fourth stage of life."

"The good news is, you have basically maintained the fundamental structure of the Five Demon Pill System and the Acquired Dual Spirit Pill System, your foundation has not been affected."

"You seem to have experienced an invasion of Yin Fire, one of the Three Calamities."

"You seem to have withstood the invasion of Yin Fire, despite paying a desperate price; at least you gained 1000 points of Yin Fire Resistance, current 1000/10000!

"Your Ice and Fire Spirit Pill seems to have absorbed and contained a small amount of Yin Fire; thanks to your previous efforts, thanks to the fact that this small amount of Yin Fire was almost worn down, thanks to the special nature of the Ice and Fire Spirit Root, you actually miraculously fused it, but to completely convert it into your own power remains far off."

"You are severely injured, and your strength will drastically decline within three months."

"The remaining situations, you still need to determine by yourself."

——

Undoubtedly, this was a situation even the Bear Demon Emperor had never encountered, so only a relatively vague conclusion could be given.

Next, Wang Wu retrieved his storage pouch, took some spirit pills and ingested them, then administered them to the unconscious General Xuelang, summoned the companion demon vine, and wrapped the entire reef, then tied General Xuelang to himself, and could sustain no longer, fell into a deep sleep.

He even lost his early warning with regards to the surrounding environment.

This is why he was adamant about not using the companion demon vine to ward off the disaster; when he and General Xuelang were both gravely injured, the companion demon vine was the lifeline.

When he woke again, it was already dusk, the evening glow like fire.

There were no sea demons around, temporarily free of danger, but General Xuelang's situation was somewhat precarious.

Its breath was weak, and it hadn't woken up.

Losing a main demon pill is not as simple as 2-1=1.

The damage it suffered this time was fundamentally like 10-9=1.

Even though he still had a third-grade Bright Demon Pill left, effectively, his foundation was nearly 90% wasted because of the collapse of the Demon Pill system.

Even its lifespan was estimated to be just a few tens of years.

At this moment, Wang Wu had no time for sorrow or concern for his own condition, directing the companion demon vine to pierce General Xuelang's veins, infusing it with vitality while performing a comprehensive evaluation and appraisal of its physical condition.

He was going to re-plan its Demon Pill system.

Indeed, this catastrophe was also a rare opportunity for General Xuelang.

It proved its loyalty, and now it was Wang Wu's turn to repay this loyalty.
