Chapter 1565 - Blackwater Heavenly Prison
That heavenly cage was extremely dim, lacking even a trace of life force, deathly still. Even after more than a great era had pa.s.sed, it still never released a single sound or movement.
Even now, the heavenly prison’s cultivators would still examine this ancient cage from time to time, because the person who was locked up within was just too important, rumored to have tremendous origins!
In their opinion, this person ought to have died a long time ago. After endless years pa.s.sed, he was always hung on the blood-colored divine metal pillar, never budging, could he even still revive?
It was all because he was too extraordinary. Even if there was only a tiny chance of him still being alive, they still had to carefully look after his cell, couldn’t allow for the slightest bit of a slip up!
s.h.i.+ Hao also revealed a strange expression. He stood up in his cell, calmly looking at the other side. That person’s clothing was entirely different from this world’s, extremely old fas.h.i.+oned, carrying dark bloodstains.
However, the blood on his body had already dried, considered dead blood, a black-red color.
Only on the ground, in a pool was there a bit of dark red color, a bit of blood that hadn’t dried up yet, actually still carrying wisps of primal chaos mist, as well as lightning radiance.
Only, if one carefully examined it, then they would find nothing, that place even more so resembling a reflection of the scenes left from the past.
It was clear and easy to see that his blood was extraordinary. Even though it was already dead blood, there were still wisps of chaotic energy. He definitely had world shocking origins!
The foreign people all carried great fear when facing him, not willing to approach that prison. They were fully aware that he might have died a great era ago, but they still s.h.i.+vered inwardly, not wis.h.i.+ng to be caught in his aura.
In summary, this creature was extremely miserable, hung from the iron pillar using its own gray long hair, moreover wrapping around his neck like a hanged person, in a truly terrible state.
His true appearance couldn’t be seen, body skinny, dried-up and cold. Based on normal reasoning, this was a corpse that should have been dead for more than a great era.
“Huang, you can slowly enjoy yourself here, don’t overrate yourself too much! In here, you are nothing! I’ve lost count of how many heaven warping geniuses are locked in here. Some of them were extremely stunning, but in the end, what happened to them? They all turned to dust!” One of them said.
“This prison has heaven warping figures who committed great wrongs in my side, perhaps we can arrange for Huang to live in the same cells as them, have them properly interact with each other.” A creature said with a smile, only, it was a bit cold, giving one a sinister and dark feeling, cold s.h.i.+vers running through their bodies.
“Forget it, he’ll be beaten until he is crippled, tortured beyond recognition, possibly even die. When that time comes, we won’t be able to explain ourselves. Whether or not he can even survive in this prison is up for debate!” Someone said in opposition.
They were about to leave. In their opinion, keeping a Self Severing Realm cultivator locked up here was too much of a waste, not worth going so far.
“Just activate a few seals of this prison, or else he’ll turn into a pool of blood, body and soul wiped out.” Before leaving, one of them said.
Moreover, this was what they did as well. When they activated the ancient prison, the sealing force was limited to the lowest level. An extremely faint layer of dark light rose, surrounding this prison.
Inside the giant prison, the lowest level creatures who were locked here were always at the Self Release Realm, moreover extremely few in number. The sealing force was too powerful, those whose cultivation levels were too low wouldn’t be able to endure it.
Soon afterwards, s.h.i.+ Hao experienced why this place was terrifying.
When the extremely weak dark light appeared, the entire prison immediately became full of yin energy, the coldness bone penetrating. His body was squeezed, a formless power appearing, about to tear him apart.
The most terrifying thing was that as time went on, the prison became damp, dark dewdrops appearing, trickling down the walls.
Immediately afterwards, s.h.i.+ Hao frowned, feeling a heart-tearing lung-splitting pain. The black moisture corroded his body, his skin ripped apart, about to be split up into pieces.
Of course, the most terrifying thing was that where his feet were, the so-called war boots immediately melted. When the black dewdrop-like things gathered around his feet, they carried a powerful corrosive nature.
s.h.i.+ Hao couldn’t hold back his alarm. The soles of his feet were rotting, turning into black liquid! This type of transformation was too terrifying! Soon afterwards, it touched upon his leg bones.
He released a m.u.f.fled groan. This was a type of tremendous suffering, unimaginable torment. The flesh of his feet was eaten away by the black droplets, even the bones starting to crack, and then rot away.
This was unimaginable suffering, moreover happening so quickly. This was just the beginning, yet the soles of his feet were already about to be destroyed.
Even if his flesh could be reconstructed, body reforged, it was useless right now, because there were chains binding his body. He was completely restricted, unable to resist.
Ka!
s.h.i.+ Hao’s feet rotted away, bones shattering. He fell down, sitting there, teeth about to break from being clenched as he endured even greater suffering.
Blackwater Prison had a deeper meaning to it as expected. Even though the pitch-black liquid was like dewdrops, they were too frightening, within them mysterious destructive power.
When his knees landed on the ground, the damage he suffered naturally became even greater!
There was nothing he could do. There were shackles placed on him by a supreme being, his entire body sealed, unable to resist. He could only endure with his flesh sh.e.l.l.
If it was any other creature, they would have long turned into a pool of blood, nothing left behind!
Ah...
In the end, s.h.i.+ Hao still released a furious roar. He didn’t fear death, but being tormented, death kept from him, was something he could not accept.
These so-called black droplets continuously gathered, the lower half of his body about to be completely eaten away, flesh and bones turning into black paste. This scene was extremely miserable, and also horrifying.
“Not good, we forgot something! The stocks and chains on his body haven’t been undone, he has no way of protecting himself!”
When they walked out of the heavenly prison, there was a foreign creature who realized this, face completely changing.
It was because even the most outstanding individuals of the Self Release Realm, if their bodies were restricted, thrown into the prison, they would quickly turn into a pool of black blood, not even bones remaining.
“Hurry!”
There were people who rushed into the great prison.
“It was purposely forgotten, right? Otherwise, letting him die like this will provoke a huge disaster. The higher level figures want him alive.” Outside the heavenly prison, someone said.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, it happened.
Sou!
Several creatures hurried here, looking inside the prison.
“He is this strong?” Someone revealed a strange expression. It was because Huang was still alive, only half his body rotting away, not dying yet.
“His flesh is even stronger than outstanding Self Release Realm individuals?” This was what they were all wondering.
“We don’t have to be in that much of a rush to save him then, we can even take our time asking the supreme being to come undo the shackles.” One of them said coldly. They planned to continue tormenting s.h.i.+ Hao.
However, there were still people scared that something really bad might happen, so they still opened s.h.i.+ Hao’s prison, brought him out.
Then, they invited a supreme being to undo the restrictions on s.h.i.+ Hao’s body, remove the chains, and then they threw him back into the prison.
Peng!
This time, he was thrown inside heavily, his body smas.h.i.+ng into the prison wall, the noise ear-splitting. Blood flowed from the corners of s.h.i.+ Hao’s lips, but he still didn’t utter any noise.
“Have fun!” This time, they completely left.
Hong!
s.h.i.+ Hao’s entire body shone, his injured body quickly recovering. Then, he sat in midair, leaving the damp surface.
His blood boiled, divine force surging, quickly restoring his physical body. His legs and soles grew back, flesh reappearing.
Pi pa noises sounded, as if beans were being fried. s.h.i.+ Hao felt as if his entire body had been tempered a thousand times over, his lower limbs that were recreated feeling as if they had become even stronger, possessing a wave of mysterious power.
“Complete great dao, perfect heaven and earth natural laws!” s.h.i.+ Hao’s pupils shone. He sensed that this might be a great opportunity.
In the other side, he could reforge his true body, refine his primordial spirit!
The Blackwater Prison had a demonic nature, even if s.h.i.+ Hao floated in midair, the black liquid could still gather again, unable to be freed from. It would corrode his body again.
At first, s.h.i.+ Hao tried to resist with divine force, but he discovered that the divine force would be wiped out, only able to slow down the corrosion speed, unable to truly stop it.
“What kind of liquid is this, what kind of power?” s.h.i.+ Hao frowned.
If this continued, when his divine force dried up, he would still turn into a pool of black blood, still die, body and spirit erased.
“I am in just too pa.s.sive of a situation. My divine force has to be able to resist this wave of power!” s.h.i.+ Hao frowned. This was a problem, his divine force had to transform, become stronger, only then could he resist the black liquid.
“Yi, my flesh really became a bit stronger!” When s.h.i.+ Hao carefully examined his body, he found that this type of transformation was extremely fine, the reconstructed body indeed different.
“Then I’ll just start from the physical body!” He didn’t have a better method, deciding to reconstruct his body here first, try to evolve into another set of true body.
Soon afterwards, his divine force was restrained, returning to his body, allowing the black liquid to approach on its own, infect his body, destroy his life force again, injure his body.
If others saw this, they would definitely be greatly alarmed. s.h.i.+ Hao was simply experiencing a h.e.l.l-like torment, because his flesh became full of holes, the wounds deep to his bone.
Blood trickled out, turning black, many parts corroded beyond recognition.
Hong!
When this continued to a certain point, s.h.i.+ Hao’s body shook, erupting with brilliance, exhausting divine force to temporarily force back the black liquid and mist, starting to reconstruct the destroyed parts of his body.
This was a type of torment, as if he was tortured in h.e.l.l.
s.h.i.+ Hao knew that there wouldn’t be a good end for him now that he ended up in the other side. Rather than wait for death, he might as well try various things out.
“With this brat’s cultivation, do you think he can survive for a day and night?” Someone outside Blackwater Prison asked.
Even though Huang’s reputation wasn’t small, his cultivation was still low after all, the lowest level existence in the prison. This great prison wasn’t prepared for creatures like him at all.
“We can let him suffer, but he definitely can’t die, or else there will be great trouble.” An expert who supervised this prison said, preparing to take a look after some time.
After sixteen hours, they couldn’t sit still anymore, heading towards the prison depths to see how s.h.i.+ Hao was doing.
Even though they really wanted to torture Huang to death, they didn’t dare, fearing the wrath of the higher levels, that they would all be dealt with.
“He was a lower level cultivator after all, unable to compare to creatures of other cultivation realms, already about to die. It is good that we came.” When they saw s.h.i.+ Hao’s current appearance, one of them released a breath of relief.
In that prison, s.h.i.+ Hao’s flesh melted, black corrupted blood on the ground, about to turn into a skeleton. He was sitting in midair, in a terrible state.
As for his inner organs and other parts, they all rotted away, the scene miserable, extremely frightening.
“His cultivation is still low after all, even if his reputation is great, his true strength is just this. He can’t defy the heavens.” Another person said.
Hong!
However, when their words just ended, an expanse of brilliant multicolored light surged, illuminating the entire prison, scattering the black droplets.
Huang’s flesh slowly regrew, his inner organs and other parts reconstructed, becoming a bit sparkling. Apart from this, there was a divine flame burning, incomparably resplendent, surrounding him like a divine halo.
His flesh regrew, becoming even stronger and more vigorous.
The creatures outside the prison immediately became stupefied, their pupils rapidly contracted. This far exceeded their expectations. How could a Self Severing Realm cultivator be this resilient?
“He is reconstructing his true self, tempering his own existence, wis.h.i.+ng to transform into an even more powerful set of body? He really is arrogant! What kind of place does he think this is?!” Someone said coldly.
In their opinion, Huang was indeed extraordinary, this wasn’t a performance a Self Severing Realm creature should be exhibiting.
“Is he trying to defy the heavens? He’s trying to turn this prison into a place of self sharpening!” Another person said coldly, expression not all that good.
In their opinion, it seemed like Huang was issuing a challenge.
In reality, s.h.i.+ Hao was completely unaware, currently immersed in his own world of suffering.
“Imperial Pa.s.s’ natural laws are incomplete, the great dao lacking. Perhaps he can obtain tremendous benefits now that he came to our world!” One of them said, wis.h.i.+ng to stop this, destroy s.h.i.+ Hao’s transformation process.
“There is no need. Even if he stopped it this time, he is still in my realm. As long as he is still alive, he will still be slowly refined away. Just let him continue as he wishes.” Another person stopped, moreover making them all leave.
“Why?” One of the experts didn’t understand, really not wis.h.i.+ng to let Huang do as he wished.
“This youngster is a bit strange, could even be said that his performance is quite heaven-defying. This type of apt.i.tude might be able to draw the attention of the corpse next to him!”
“You are saying that the old monster who has died for more than a great era might revive, cherish his talent?!” Another person asked in shock.
“I am just wis.h.i.+ng that this is the case, to make that old monster recover his sentience, pa.s.s on his methods. Only, this really isn’t that realistic!” The one who spoke before said with a sigh.
They nodded. If this type of thing happened, then this would be tremendous contributions for them, because in the future, dealing with s.h.i.+ Hao would be much easier than dealing with that old monster.
“I still find this a bit hard to swallow. Why should we let Huang experience the baptism of our side’s perfect great dao? Isn’t this letting him off too easily?”
“It’s fine, if we wanted to cripple him, we could do it whenever we want to!” Someone said coldly.
