Chapter 1468 - Chapter 1468 Chapter 1566 Soul and Body Unite

Chapter 1468: Chapter 1566: Soul and Body Unite Chapter 1468: Chapter 1566: Soul and Body Unite “I’ll only give you five breaths’ time to consider. After five breaths, whether you agree or not, I will disappear,” the eyeball spoke again.

The woman in the black dress seemed to make up her mind in an instant and said, “I am willing!”

“Good!” The eyeball wasted no words and directly transformed into a wisp of ghostly light, rushing into the body of the woman in the black dress.

Caught off guard, the woman in the black dress thought the eyeball was going to harm her, but then she realized that her sealed cultivation began to emerge rapidly.

“Who exactly are you? How do you have the ability to unlock the seal on me?” the woman in the black dress asked, more shocked than delighted, because the seal placed on her was by a Martial Lord, and logically only someone of the Martial Lord realm could unlock it.

But the eyeball managed to unlock the seal, which suggested, could this eyeball also possess the strength of a Martial Lord?

“After the deed is done, I will tell you all these. For now, what you need to do is to kill someone,” the voice of the eyeball resounded once more.

“With your ability, you still need me to kill for you?” the woman in the black dress puzzledly asked. If the eyeball was so powerful, why would it need her to take action? Wasn’t this superfluous?

“You don’t need to know all these details. Just go and kill that person, no more questions,” the eyeball seemed to lack the patience to explain.

The woman in the black dress fell silent, then sneered coldly, “Why should I listen to you?”

“Oh? Are you thinking of going back on your word?” The voice became colder and more mocking.

“Even if I am, so what? How dare something hiding yet revealing itself order me around?” the woman in the black dress said. Now that her cultivation had recovered, she felt confident and unwilling to be manipulated.

“You cannot resist me,” the cold voice sounded again. Just as the woman in the black dress was about to speak, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, a sense of despair like never before surfaced, as if an invisible hand had grabbed her heart, ready to crush it at any moment.

“What have you done?” Clutching her chest, the woman in the black dress turned pale and gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.

“It’s just to prevent you from going back on your word. If you obey, there won’t be any problems,” the eerie voice said, seeming to come from within the woman in the black dress’s body and simultaneously from all around.

The woman in the black dress’s face looked awful. Despite not wanting to be manipulated, she felt extremely annoyed internally.

However, ultimately, someone else held her life in their grasp. Despite her strong reluctance, she could only obey the strange eyeball’s command.

“I will only do one thing for you,” the woman in the black dress said grimly.

“Alright, when it’s time for you to take action, I will let you know,” the voice stopped, no longer heard, as if it had left the woman in the black dress’s body.

However, the woman in the black dress knew that the eyeball had not left; it was merely ignoring her.

…

Inside the Sacred Tree in Ancient Demon Ridge.

Bathed in the golden light, Fang Lin’s physical body had greatly advanced, moving from the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Source to the peak of Ninth Layer.

Just one step away, he could kick open the door from the Spirit Source realm to the Long-lived Ones.

Without reaching Longevity, one is ultimately just an ant.

Even Minor Longevity would qualify as a top-notch expert of the current age, able to walk horizontally across the land of the Nine Countries, as long as one does not provoke those of Great Longevity.

However, entering this realm is not so easy; many Spirit Source Martial Artists are blocked before Minor Longevity, exhausting their lifespans without ever advancing.

Some people practice for merely a few hundred years without feeling it too difficult, naturally stepping into the Longevity Realm, making countless Martial Artists envious.

There are even more bizarre cases where some practice in a relaxed manner, casually reaching the Longevity Realm.

This has frustrated those Martial Artists who practice diligently and arduously all their lives, wondering why some effortlessly achieve Longevity, while they struggle yet never even touch the threshold of the Longevity Realm.

This is the difference, or perhaps it’s just fate.

Fang Lin’s physical body, devoid of a soul, cannot possibly break through to the Longevity Realm unless his soul returns and fully integrates with the body, then it might be possible to break through to the Longevity realm.

The Longevity Realm requires both soul and body to break through; the body alone cannot reach the Longevity Realm.

Some individuals had tried using vast resources to elevate their physical body to the Longevity Realm, but their souls, not having reached the level of Longevity, ultimately perished, leaving behind their bodies which were then turned into puppets by other strong forces.

So-called Longevity involves gaining a lengthy lifespan; a robust physique is one aspect, and a powerful soul is another; only the combination of both constitutes true Longevity.

Fang Lin’s body, devoid of a soul, can only remain peaked at the Ninth Layer of Spirit Source. Any further enhancement would only strengthen the physique, incapable of truly stepping into the Longevity Realm.

Over the True Dragon Demon Bone, however, a special piece of flesh has developed.

This is the flesh of a True Dragon attached to the True Dragon Demon Bone, absorbing power from the Sacred Tree and growing stronger continuously.

Had there been others present to witness this piece of flesh, they would surely be astonished beyond imagination.

Fortunately, no one saw this scene; otherwise, Ancient Demon Ridge would likely have been thrown into disarray.

This piece of flesh, bearing not only the essence of a True Dragon but also that of Fang Lin, is indeed an intriguing occurrence.

Fang Lin’s body vanished amidst the golden light and abruptly appeared outside the Sacred Tree, startling the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who was standing by the Sacred Tree.

Seeing Fang Lin’s physical body restored, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven showed joy and immediately checked Fang Lin’s physical condition.

Upon inspection, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s face showed even more amazement.

“Goodness, the physical strength is comparable to the peak of Minor Longevity, only the realm needs to elevate; otherwise, he would already be a solid Minor Longevity,” the Great Sage Equal to Heaven remarked, examining Fang Lin’s body closely.

“Truly tough, this guy really turned misfortune into a blessing,” the Great Sage Equal to Heaven exclaimed, pulling out Fang Lin’s soul.

“Now it’s up to this lad himself. With his physical body already prepared, the integration with the soul shouldn’t pose any issues,” the Great Sage Equal to Heaven said whilst smoothly merging a flame into Fang Lin’s body.

In that moment, Fang Lin’s body trembled violently, reacting intensely.

PS: The second update is here; I am going for a cervical spine re-evaluation today, the updates are scheduled.
