Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 277 Breaking Down the Door

(Merry Christmas everyone!)

"As for the great power secret technique or other things you mentioned, I have no interest in hearing about them. I just discovered that every time I consume a bite of your soul, a trace of your memories will spontaneously arise."

"Hehe, once I completely devour your soul, I will have all your memories. Why would I need to make such a meaningless exchange with you?" Du Fan transmitted his voice calmly, his tone clearly carrying a meaningful undertone.

"Boy, don't go too far. The memories you obtained are incomplete. At worst, I'll self-destruct my soul, and then you'll get nothing! Ah..." The white figure's face showed a sinister look. Just as he was quickly transmitting his voice, wanting to say some threatening words, a howl suddenly rang out again.

A flash of blue light appeared beside the white figure, revealing a blue figure. Without a word, the blue figure moved its arm and grabbed one of the white figure's thighs. Then, with a sudden burst of strength, it ripped off the white figure's crippled leg.

Then the cyan figure instantly teleported to the side and quickly began to gnaw on the white thigh.

In no time, the white thigh was completely devoured by the blue-haired little man. Then, he stuck out his tongue and licked his shiny lips. His gaze shifted, and he looked at the white little man with lingering desire, his face showing cruelty and greed.

The white figure, having lost a leg, contorted its face instantly, as if experiencing some indescribable agony. Its body flickered between light and shadow amidst this pain. Finally, with a soft "bang," the white figure could no longer maintain its human form and instantly transformed into a small ball of white light.

However, the white sphere of light was now only the size of the head of the little blue figure, and its color was dull and its shape unstable, as if it might disintegrate at any moment.

After a slight tremor, the white orb of light instantly transformed into a streak of white light and vanished into the distance.

……

Half an hour later, two small blue figures stood side by side, both of them looking rather grim.

Just moments ago, when the two cyan figures had cornered the remaining fist-sized white orb of light, the orb of light suddenly burst into a blaze of light with some unknown secret technique. After a violent upheaval, it abruptly exploded, and the entire orb of white light vanished into thin air.

"Old man, you're ruthless!"

Du Fan thought with some frustration that although he had merged most of the other party's memories through the method of devouring souls, these memories were almost all incomplete. The most essential part was in the self-destructing soul sphere.

Through the fragmented memories that he had merged with, Du Fan learned that the other party was a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage. A cultivator with such cultivation and experience would naturally possess numerous supernatural abilities and know a great deal about the secrets of the cultivation world. However, it now seems that all of these things have vanished with the self-destruction of the other party's soul.

Du Fan was extremely frustrated by this situation, but he was helpless. After pondering for a long time, one of the cyan figures suddenly closed its eyes, made a hand seal, and its body suddenly twisted and deformed. Before long, it turned back into a ball of cyan light. Then, the entire ball of light appeared and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Another cyan figure suddenly moved, transforming into a streak of cyan light and rushing away into the distance. After an unknown amount of time, the cyan light faded, but the cyan figure was no longer there. It had become the original cyan ball of light, steadily suspended in the endless chaos.

Only then did Du Fan's primordial spirit space return to tranquility.

……

The moment Du Fan's consciousness returned, he immediately realized that he was sitting cross-legged somewhere in the stone chamber. However, when he opened his eyes, he was startled and jumped up suddenly, shooting backward.

In front of him, where he had been sitting cross-legged, was the white skeleton, sitting face-to-face with him, only a few inches apart. When Du Fan opened his eyes just now, they were almost touching mouth and nose. How could this not make his heart pound?

It wasn't until Du Fan retreated more than ten feet and stood close to the wall behind him that a bead of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, trickling down his cheeks and onto the bluestone floor, making a "drip-drip" sound in the silent stone chamber.

Du Fan subconsciously swallowed, staring intently at the white skeleton for a long time before a look of surprise and doubt appeared on his face. He then took a step and slowly walked towards the skeleton.

As he moved, Du Fan gently patted his storage bag, and two beams of spiritual light flashed out in an instant. He grabbed them in his hands, revealing a silver magic sword and a piece of talisman wood with only one strike's power left.

At this moment, Du Fan's tension and caution were obviously unnecessary. Even when he was half a zhang away from the white skeleton, the other party was still sitting there motionless, like a dead object.

The two eerie green flames that had been flickering in its pupils had been extinguished at some point, leaving only two deep holes that remained, still giving off a sinister and terrifying feeling.

A glint flashed in Du Fan's eyes. With a determined look in his heart, he suddenly clenched his fist and punched the skeleton in front of him from a distance. Immediately, a somewhat blurry pale golden fist shadow flashed out and struck the head of the skeleton in an instant.

With a "bang," the skeleton fell backward to the ground under the attack, sliding quickly backward along the ground, sparks flying as it scraped against the earth, before crashing into a wall in the stone chamber.

With a loud "boom," the immense inertia acting on its body dissipated, and it came to a steady stop, never to move again.

"Phew..." Upon seeing this scene, Du Fan finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Only then could he be certain of the true demise of that Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.

He raised his arm and gently beckoned to the skeleton. The skeleton trembled slightly and transformed into a white streak of light, which then disappeared into Du Fan's storage bag at his waist after a swirling motion.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his left hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and then turned his gaze to take in the surrounding situation.

What came into his view was a scene of utter devastation: the ground was sunken, the walls were shattered, and blue stones were scattered everywhere.

In a corner of the stone chamber, Guo Huaifu lay there, pale-faced and motionless, his fate unknown.

Du Fan scanned the area with his divine sense and felt a slight sense of relief. Guo Huaifu was merely unconscious. Judging from the abundance of qi and blood in his body and his steady and powerful breathing, he was clearly in much better condition than Du Fan. Du Fan even suspected that Guo Huaifu had knocked himself unconscious.

Of course, he didn't have the mood or time to use his divine sense to wake this guy, so he went straight to the barrier light gate.

Du Fan knew absolutely nothing about the restrictions, and at this moment he could only use brute force to break them. In fact, if it weren't for the skeletons that had restrained him earlier, even though the barrier was much stronger than when he first arrived, he was confident that he could have blasted it open.

Du Fan took a deep breath, and his Copper Iron Arm Forging Technique suddenly activated. After his arms became several times thicker, he immediately clenched his fists and, without saying a word, thrust them directly at the light gate.

After the roar, a thin crack appeared on the surface of the light gate. However, the crack healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. But before it could be fully restored, Du Fan's second punch landed instantly, followed by a third punch, a fourth punch...

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a deafening roar suddenly came from the light gate.

The next moment, amidst the frantic flashing of milky white light, the barrier gate suddenly shattered, and an extremely powerful energy storm, centered on the gate and mixed with debris within it, roared wildly in all directions.

All of this happened too suddenly, and Du Fan was completely unprepared. It was obviously too late to avoid it now. In his haste, he could only raise his arms and quickly protect his head and face.

The next moment, Du Fan felt waves of tearing pain coming from his body and arms.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered that his clothes had already been shattered in the energy burst, and his skin was also scratched with countless cracks by the rapidly sweeping dust storm, from which blood seeped out, making him look like a blood-soaked figure, ferocious and terrifying.

While defending, Du Fan quickly retreated. After about a dozen breaths, the energy storm caused by the barrier light gate finally dissipated completely.

Du Fan glanced at the passage behind the light gate and felt a slight sense of relief before remembering to examine himself from head to toe.

A moment later, Du Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly. His body was now covered with countless wounds of varying sizes. This was the first time he had suffered such superficial injuries since he had mastered the Buddhist and Taoist physical techniques of "Indestructible Body" and "Undying Body".

After a moment's thought, Du Fan realized there was no danger here, so he immediately sat down cross-legged, raised one hand and made a strange hand seal. In the next instant, all the wounds on his body began to wriggle, heal, scab over and fall off at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This physical recovery technique is naturally an accessory to the "Indestructible Vajra Body" technique. He had used it once before, and it proved quite useful when he suffered minor skin and flesh injuries.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Du Fan's entire body had been restored to normal.
