Eternal Life (永生) Ch. 29

The Critical Moment

One Devil and one Immortal path disciple fought, their magic treasures constantly conflicting. It was very intense, but extremely exciting to watch. However, once the winner was decided, one side would immediately face death. The danger had reached the critical point, the line between life and death had become thin.

Regardless of whether it was the Seven Devil Clans’ ‘Hong’chen Devil Sect’ or the Ten Immortal School’s ‘Yu’hua School’, they were both one of the great schools between the heavens and earth. Thus, the number of ling’qi possessed by the disciples of both schools was not a small number. These two schools were not like those smaller schools which heavily relied on one ling’qi to uphold their status.

Senior sister disciple Mo had resorted to using her secret weapon, ‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope’, and was currently preparing to kill the Pink Prince to gain an unworldly amount of credit.

However, she never thought that the Pink Prince would actually also have a secret weapon!

“Six Wishes Yin Mine!”

[TL: It seems like I made a mistake last chapter and confused Yang for Yin. Also, Mine and thunder have the same character and I didn’t read ahead, so I chose the wrong one. Sorry.]
‘Six Wishes Yin Mine’ wasn’t a fa’qi, ling’qi, nor bao’qi, but a kind of insidious, highly toxic, one time use weapon. It was something that was forged by the famous elders of the ‘Hong’chen Devil Sect’, and could display extreme Divine power by refining them into a yin mine.

Each yin mine required the refinement of five thousand souls filled with resentment in the darkest abyss underground so that the souls could absorb the poison. They would be nourished there for ten years, and then blended into harmonious yin yang sky mine before being condensed into a pellet.

A pellet of yin mine burst forth, immediately exploding, blasting out tens of thousands streak of red smoke and a hundred thousand specters, causing every ling’qi to lose its effects by contaminating the magic inside. It cut off the blood-bindings between the weapons and the disciples, causing them to lose control of their ling’qi.

That is, if a ling’qi flying sword was. .h.i.t by the yin mine, it would immediately convulse, and fall to the ground, unable to be ordered again.

Only if it was blood-bound again after being cleansed by soaking in water boiled with various yang qi ingredients such as snow lotus and ginseng would the contamination and yin qi disperse and allow it to be used again.

In particular, if a human was exposed to a yin mine for more than half a moment, they would immediately collapse, unconscious. Even those with stronger flesh would be affected due to the fact that not only did it contain toxic qi, it also contained the hatred-filled qi of thousands of souls. It would contaminate every part of a person’s spirit unless one had entered the Divine Realm and become able to use magic to block the spreading of the toxic qi.

This yin mine was very precious because of the thousands of people that had to be killed in order to refine one. Thus, even true disciples of devil sects didn’t have one. Only those unmeasurably powerful Devil elders could refine them, and they kept them for their own use, never bestowing them upon others.

Unexpectedly, this Pink Prince actually had a pellet, and had pulled it out at this critical moment to save his life.

‘Peng!’

The ‘Six Wishes Yin Mine’ exploded, greatly shocking everyone.

Desperate looks appeared on the faces of Liu Kang and Hong Yi.

Fang Han only saw the dispersing of red light revealing the pink light within, before hundreds upon thousands of hideous faces appeared. It was as if the gates of h.e.l.l had been opened, releasing thousands of tormented devil souls.

These hideous faces, they were actually the tormented souls of the ‘Six Wishes Yin Mine’!

‘Hua’la hua’la’.

These poisonous souls surrounded a couple flying swords, and immediately penetrated into the swords, after which the swords fell from the air, one after another. Ding ding dang dang, they landed on the sand, the sound of them landing resonating over tens of li away.

In the world, not even a city of a hundred thousand people could trade for a flying sword, but now, they were nothing more than just a few sc.r.a.ps of metal, completely worthless.

Even the weapons of high level experts, such as Shan’he Ranking Number Ten, Yuan Jian Kong’s silver snake sword, were at the mercy of the many souls. His sword acted as if it were drunk, flying up and down, before losing its ling’qi and falling to the ground, returned to its basic form. It truly seemed to be a long, silver snake, winding, yet sharp and full of spirit. Although it had fallen onto the desert floor, it still kept wiggling, and wasn’t dead like the other flying swords.

Subsequently, thousands of tormented souls floated over, first targeting senior sister disciple Mo before others.

‘A!’

‘A!’

‘A! A! A!’

Numerous screams could be heard as senior sister disciple Mo and the other inner court disciples were attacked by the tainted souls. Their wretched cries were as if they were trapped in a nightmare and drenched with horror.

Afterwards, several inner court companions fell.

As for the ‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope’ in senior sister disciple Mo’s had, it let off a clear light, directly cleansing the tormented souls.

This bao’qi rope was an extremely firm and extremely yang type magic treasure, and was thus able to resist the tormented souls. However, as it was just a rope and not a protective magic treasure, it was unable to protect all sides. In a moment of inattention, senior sister disciple Mo was attacked by tormented souls from behind her. Letting out a scream, her body crumbled and fell, her a.r.s.e landing on the sandy ground.

At the same time, Prince Bao and the other two princes and princesses of the Da’de Empire were attacked, and they also fell, unconscious.

They were only outer court disciples, and didn’t even have a ling’qi. Thus, how could they possibly block the tormented souls sent out by the ‘Six Wishes Yin Mine’?

Fang Han also saw a burst of red in front of his eyes, followed by the appearance of a hideous red face rushing towards him. The soul wrapped around him, and tried to enter his mind.

In his head, he felt a stinging pain.

‘Pu’tong, pu’tong!’ Hong Yi and Liu Kang who were next to him had both fallen, their minds invaded by the tormented souls. It was unknown if they were alive or dead.

Right at this time, just when Fang Han felt that the tormented soul was about to enter his body, the ‘Picture of the Hidden Yellow Dragon Spring’ once again moved.

Fang Han immediately sensed his spirit, and saw the invading tormented souls all fall into the Huang’qian River and be sealed.

His body was safe and sound.

However, seeing senior sister disciple Mo and the other inner court disciples fall, with but a thought, he also fell. I wonder what kind of condition Hong Yi is in. She did just save me from the blade of the Moon Prince, so I should save her. If only I could control his Yellow Spring Picture. Unfortunately, I can only use this Yellow Spring Picture for self-defense, and am unable to comprehend how to use it. That’s right, I ate the ‘Nine Aperture Golden Pellet’, so my blood is currently circulating its medicinal powers. Could it possibly detoxify? Might as well try it!”

During the moment that Fang Han was falling, he pressed himself against Hong Yi, at the same time slitting his wrist and letting blood flow from his wrist into Hong Yi’s mouth, dripping one drop after another.

Even in such a situation he was able to think of something.

While the ‘Nine Aperture Golden Pellet’ was refined by the Devil Clan’s Great Emperor to strengthen one’s foundation, Fang Han hoped it would also restrain the power of tormented souls and protect Hong Yi’s life.

Because Hong Yi had saved his life just now, he had to repay the favor.

In a moment, all the disciples had been infected by the tormented souls which had exploded out of the ‘Six Wishes Yin Mine’ with the exception of one person who was still stubbornly struggling. It was Yuan Jian Kong.

It was because he was wearing ling’qi level magic clothes. These jade green colored clothes were called ‘Golden Jade Luo Gowns’. It was made from the intertwining of the essence ten thousand year pine needles, and gave off a golden jade essence qi. It increased one’s flying speed, and was resistant to tormented souls!
Numerous pink colored tormented souls encircled above and below the jade light, but were all blocked off from advancing any further. Otherwise, they would be refined, and then disappear.

“Silver Snake Sword!”

Yuan Jian Kong, relying on the effects of this ‘Golden Jade Luo Gown’, let out a howl, a tired look appearing on his face. Fiercely gnashing his teeth, the clothes on his body let off an even greater light, wrapping him up like water. Strands of jade green light pierced outwards like pine needles, piercing thousands of holes through the tormented souls. He fiercely charged forward to pick up his Silver Snake Sword, running on foot!

Although he was ranked tenth on the Shan’he Rankings and his physical strength was unmeasurable, he had yet to enter the Divine Realm. Much of his power was accounted for by the Silver Snake Sword.

If he lost the Silver Snake Sword, come next Shan’he Ranking Tournament, he would probably be unable defend his t.i.tle.

“Heng! You still want your Silver Snake Sword!”

The Pink Prince descended from the sky, his hand holding his pink flying sword. With a raise of his hand, his sword moved, not to behead, but to retrieve the Silver Snake Sword from the ground. The sword flew back into the air, circled once, and landed back in his hand.

Yuan Jian Kong had been unable to grab his Silver Snake Sword, and had in fact let it land in the hands of the Pink Prince. Immediately, he let out a roar like an injured beast, and acting decisively, he turned around his body and flew away towards the edge of the desert. He had actually run away.

At this moment, the cranes which were in the sky also ran away, most likely returning to the Yu’hua School.

The cranes were all bred just to provide transport, of course they wouldn’t fight Devils together with the disciples.

“Heng! Trash! Hai hai hai.” The Pink Prince landed on the ground and began to unendingly cough. Afterwards, Fang Han quietly looked and saw the sword wounds on the Pink Prince’s body. It had been wounded during the confrontation.

The Pink Prince’s clothes were also ling’qi, but facing the attacks of so many flying swords, his clothes were sometimes broken through causing him to suffer wounds.

“Little beauty, your situation is hopeless! Are you still going to stubbornly resist? Fortunately, this ‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope’ isn’t yours, and you can only use a little bit of its power. Otherwise, even with the ‘Six Wishes Yin Mine’ I wouldn’t have been able to deal with you.”

The Pink Prince moved closer towards senior sister disciple Mo. Currently, all the Yu’hua School disciples had fallen unconscious. As for Yuan Jian Kong he had fled. Only senior sister disciple Mo, who still held onto the ‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope’ was still free of the tormented souls as she relied on the rope’s power to defend her spirit. However, her body was already unable to move. Seeing the Pink Prince walking towards her, she was powerless to do anything.

“Pink Prince, you dare!” suddenly shouted senior sister disciple Mo.

“He he he he, what is there for me to be afraid of.” The Pink Prince looked up into the sky where the ‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope’ was still restraining the ten Flying Yasha. Currently, those ten Flying Yasha had already become sluggish, slowly losing their ability to fly. They fell out of the sky, crashing into the sand in the distance.

“I shall capture you, wait till my injuries heal, and then enjoy some good times.” The Pink Prince walked near senior sister disciple Mo. Suddenly, with the wave of her hand, senior sister disciple Mo’s eyes became very cold, and using the last of her strength, pu! She spit out a bead towards the Pink Prince’s eyes.

“Water Fire Bead! You even have this stuff? However, this is just a fa’qi. It isn’t even a ling’qi.” The Pink Prince’s body once again let off another red light, blocking the bead.

“Explode!”

Senior sister disciple Mo, exhausting of strength, spat out a word. ‘Beng!’ This Water Fire Bead exploded, ripping through the red light on the Pink Prince’s magic clothes, and sending him flying back a few zhang.

[TL: zhang is a unit of measurement]

“”Well well, this trick has been used. What other tricks do you have left!” Rolling over, the Pink Prince climbed up from the ground. On the corner of his mouth was a streak of red blood. Staggering, he once again walked over.

At this time, senior sister disciple Mo already had no more strength left, and her eyesight was becoming blurry. The Pink Prince seemed to have become multiple shadows, and she was only able to wait for her death.

“It is time!”

Suddenly, Fang Han leapt up like a leopard. Thrusting out his hand, the ‘Spirit Wind Sword’ flew out, beheading the Pink Prince!

The Pink Prince had already received serious injuries, and his magic clothes defensive light had just been burst by the Water Fire Bead’s explosion. He also wasn’t expecting anything to happen! This moment in which he was killed was a rare opportunity that was only seen once every ten thousand years!

Upon killing the Pink Prince, the five flying swords on the ground, along with the Silver Snake Sword, as well as the Pink Prince’s flying sword and magic clothes were all his! It was truly a day of riches!
