What If I Can't Die?

Chapter 465 - 465 Vermilion Bird Sacred Palace (2)

465 Vermilion Bird Sacred Palace (2)

Some of the hot-tempered demons could not take it anymore. They activated the power of their bloodline and suddenly enlarged their bodies, turning into a flaming giant.

The demon’s nostrils were spewing fire, and it had two horns on its head. It was one hundred feet tall and wore black armor. The flames in its eyes flickered as it let out a buzzing sound. “Everyone, there’s no need to endure it. Since this beast wants to die, we’ll fulfill his wish.”

“That’s right. Finally, someone with a backbone.”

Song Shi nodded and beckoned with his hand. “Come on, I haven’t read the demonic scriptures of the Horned-demon clan.”

The Horned Demon Clan was one of the three peak demons of the demon race. The Demonic Chaos Ape’s Primordial Demon Bone and the methods of the Heavenly Demon Clan couldn’t undo their scripture, so the other party had to take the initiative to show the sutras to him.

The Fire Giant Horned Demon looked hesitant and did not attack alone. This person’s combat strength was obvious. If he attacked alone, his outcome would probably be similar.

The other demons were still a little hesitant. There was definitely something wrong with this person deliberately provoking them.

Song Shi was speechless. “Are all of you that afraid? How about this? I’ll let you have ten moves as a head start. How about that?”

In the end, more demons became suspicious.

“There must be something wrong. Don’t fall for it.”

“Bear with it.”

The demons became even more cautious. The horned demons that jumped out could only retreat gloomily, not daring to deal with Song Shi alone.

“Sigh, how boring.”

Song Shi did not succeed. He shook his head dispiritedly and did not take the initiative to kill anyone. He was much calmer now and would not kill someone else for no reason.

He could not be beaten to death. His gaze could only land on the left peak and continue to climb.

The white flames at the peak looked very gentle. Song Shi was not too worried at first, but when he walked in and experienced it, he was burned until he screamed.

“F*ck, the flames here will burn my Primordial Spirit!”

Song Shi cursed. Physical pain could be avoided by isolating nerves, but not spiritual pain.

Furthermore, the pain on the soul level exceeded the physical body. Song Shi was instantly tortured to death. He hurriedly used his Nomological power to isolate himself before he could catch his breath.

However, he knew that it was more beneficial for him to be able to directly burn his soul. It could temper his Primordial Spirit, especially after his Primordial Spirit was burned. He could also obtain the corresponding reward.

Song Shi’s expression changed.

If he wanted to temper his Primordial Spirit, he had to suffer a fate worse than death this time.

“What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve died so many times and enjoyed many benefits. Can’t I suffer a little?”

Song Shi gritted his teeth and released his Defense. He took the initiative to absorb the white flames.

“Hmph!”

Song Shi could not help but want to scream, but he did not want to make a fool of himself in front of the demons. He immediately activated the Immortal Binding Rope and tied himself up.

He even tightened his neck, not giving himself a chance to cry out it was akin to self inflicted torture.

The white flames enveloped Song Shi’s essence, energy, and spirit from the inside out. The flames that could melt the Void did not destroy Song Shi’s body immediately. Instead, they melted his Primordial Spirit.

Now, his Nomological power had already reached the Void Refinement Realm. Furthermore, because he had cultivated Jiu Yang, the density of his Nomological power far exceeded his peers.

As for his physical body, it had even surpassed the Void Refinement Realm. However, his soul was the weakest. At this moment, under the stimulation of the Fire, it improved the fastest.

“He only screamed once. How can he withstand the peak Void Divine Fire so quickly?”

“He even dares to swallow this kind of fire. This fellow is a ruthless person!”

“Fortunately, we didn’t attack him together. Otherwise, we would have been the unlucky ones.”

As the flames were white and rather transparent, the group of demons could see Song Shi’s condition.

Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative to devour the flames to temper his body, they all had lingering fears. After watching for a moment, they all seized the time to bury their heads and climb. They really did not want to stay here any longer.

Seeing that Song Shi had tied himself up, An You sighed faintly.

She knew how powerful this rope was. She could tell that the other party was extremely determined to use the peak fire to temper himself.

She knew that she would never be worthy of such a talented and hardworking fellow.

Song Shi continued to cultivate at the peak as time passed.

A portion of the demons who had arrived between the two peaks chose to leave. They descended the mountain from the other side and went to the fourth checkpoint.

There was no sun or moon in the Fire Mountain, and there was no distinction between day and night. After an unknown period of time, Song Shi reached the peak.

The space here was in a strange state, as if it had been burned into the most primitive power by the flames. Song Shi looked at it for a long time before he fell into deep thought.

“At the end of the day, space is also formed by some special energy…”

He had an epiphany. Suddenly, the virtual point in his body shone brightly and naturally expanded.

Just like that, his strength, which had just entered the Void Refinement Realm, advanced another step and reached the level of a Mid Void Refinement Realm expert.

Song Shi crawled into the melted void to take a look, but it was only space after entering. There was nothing special about it.

He walked out and looked behind the mountain.

There was also divine flames on the other side, but having experienced climbing to the peak, the rest of the journey down the mountain was destined to be easy.

At the foot of the mountain, lightning kept falling from a distance that was connected to a scarlet plain. It must be the Heavenly Thunder Plains.

“Wind, fire, and lightning…”

Song Shi muttered and appeared at the foot of the mountain. He passed through a light screen and entered.

RUMBLE!

The sound of thunder rang in his ears as a bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck him.

Song Shi’s body was slightly numb and he had a headache. “I just came in. Can’t you let me rest?”

A second bolt of lightning answered him.

Song Shi raised his hand and shattered it. The dense electric snakes passed through his body but could not threaten him.

However, he walked towards the exit helplessly.

During this period of time, his bones had been shattered by the wind and charred by the fire. Now that he had been struck by lightning, he did not have a day of leisure. He felt that he needed to go out and rest.

This time, the exit was a fire pit. Song Shi jumped into it without thinking. After passing by a patch of flames, he was thrown out again in the distortion of space.

In the familiar depths of the Void, Song Shi quickly stabilized his body. Then, he saw the mystic spirit realm and confirmed his direction. He used Divine Teleportation Footwork and quickly approached the Black Spirit Realm.

When he cultivated, he would usually circulate all kinds of cultivation techniques and divine powers. Naturally, he had comprehended a lot of Divine Teleportation Footwork. At this moment, it was definitely not a problem for him to reach Minor Accomplishment even if he did not master it.

Last time, it took him three days to get close. This time, he was confident that he could reduce it to half a day.

“I don’t know how long it’s been since I last went in, but I didn’t notice time passing.”

Song Shi muttered to himself as he walked quickly. Before long, he saw the familiar ancient battlefield.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good meal. This time, I have to satisfy my appetite.”

Song Shi’s Divine Teleportation Footwork became smoother as he thought about going back to eat some delicacies and drink some good wine. With a casual step, he traveled one thousand and five hundred kilometers and approached at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Behind the wreckage of the battlefield, a huge palace appeared in the distance. Song Shi stopped in his tracks and looked at the palace that was emitting flames like a flying black bird in surprise.

“Eh, that’s not the Black Tortoise Sacred Palace. This should be the Vermilion Bird Sacred Palace?”

Song Shi was caught between laughter and tears. “Why was I displaced from the north of the Black Spirit Realm to the south? Is it because the space where the Demon Refinement Path is, is linked to this realm, or is it because I was randomly spat out?”

He glanced at the vast Black Spirit Realm. Even if he was outside, he did not know how long it would take to run from the south to the north.

“So be it. Isn’t it the same no matter where I rest?”

Song Shi could not be bothered to continue his journey and directly flew towards the Vermilion Bird Sacred Palace.

The scorching power of the Fire spread. Song Shi felt like he was going home. Perhaps this place was more suitable for him to stay.

His rash approach quickly triggered the warning of the Barrier-guarding Array Formation. Soon, a vigilant cultivator flew out and slashed at him with a shout.

“You’re treating me like a demon again…”

Song Shi stopped and raised his hand to press down. With a crack, the sword aura shattered.

The cultivators who were blocking him were shocked and stopped one hundred thousand feet away in fear. There were other streaks of light coming to support them.

The person who attacked was a sexy girl. Red ribbon-like Dharma treasures surrounded her body, burning with red flames. She held a golden short sword.

She was wearing a short red top and a short skirt, with a small waist in the middle and long legs below. Her feet were bare, and her skin was tanned. She looked very energetic.

She had two exquisite ears with round earrings and long hair that reached her ears. Her face was exquisite and her skin was delicate and rosy. She looked capable and experienced. Her cultivation level was at the Late Void Refinement Realm. She should be a commander.

Song Shi took a look and did not recognize him. He said, “Don’t be nervous. We’re on the same side.”

He took out his identity token. “I wonder if the Black Tortoise Palace’s Heaven Patrolling Hall token is useful here?”

“Black Tortoise Palace’s Heaven Patrolling Guards? Why are you here?”

Fire girl frowned slightly. “If it’s a demon in disguise, there’s no need to use such a fake identity, right?”

“…”

Song Shi explained, “I’m really one of us. Some time ago, when I was patrolling the demonic cave, I encountered an ambush and was swept away by a spatial storm. I only flew back now.”
