Night Without End

Chapter 1426 - 595: World-Dwelling and Undying

Qin Ming merely heard about it and felt a chill on his scalp.

What kind of disaster is that? It can perpetually dwell in the world!

Xie Yunshu’s voice was slightly hoarse, saying: "Time has not worn it away, Ye State is like its feeding ground, maybe it can ripple farther, walk further. It’s like a ghost, lingering from ancient times till now, under the shadow of death, making people despair and suffocate."

Qin Ming couldn’t help but look up, towards the abyss-like night sky, as if there was a blurry giant face, merging into the sky, staring with a cold, grotesque smile, slowly pressing closer.

He quietly listened, letting Xie Yunshu slowly recount that past tale.

Even someone as strong as Lu Zizai fell victim to it, wasted half his life, and in the end, had to flee to avoid calamity.

"Involved even in this life..."

Qin Ming felt like there was wilderness grass growing wildly in his heart, feeling panic, while a chilling aura from the deepest part of his heart quietly rose and spread.

Events from ancient times actually persist until now, when can they end?

"What does it look like?" Qin Ming asked.

Xie Yunshu shook his head, saying: "Never saw its form, don’t know its shape."

However, not just one or two victims throughout history, some saw parts of the surroundings.

Qin Ming immediately perked up, seriously asking Sister Lu for details.

Xie Yunshu calmly narrated: "It was an old house, very ancient in style, with a strong sense of decay..."

Even hearing the creaking sound of a broken wooden door being pushed open and the old, slow footsteps, like stepping deep in people’s hearts.

Outside the old house was a lovely little courtyard, like the garden of a Divine, planted with many legendary plants, each one rare Miracle Medicine, just picking one fruit would be worth a fortune.

Any random plant, a bright blossom, taken outside, would drive people crazy, auctioning for terrifying high prices.

Qin Ming was in a daze, what level of courtyard is this?

In its front yard, lush vegetation and Spirit Flowers compete for beauty, radiant light rain scattering diagonally.

The backyard, however, was completely different, strands of black silk wrapped with bone-chilling cold, entwining the window lattice, accompanied by strange winds, wrapped with black ice particles, snow falling like Mo Ran.

Qin Ming showed surprise, saying: "Is that disaster naturally carrying a Divine scene, or are the victims abducted into its tangible nest?"

Xie Yunshu shook his head, these cannot be judged.

Such disasters always appear suddenly, even those with Divine Eye cannot see it, only catching a glimpse of a cornered spectacle, the victim’s mind blank, yet hearing clear chewing sounds.

Xie Yunshu tightly gripped his knuckles, saying: "It’s like gnawing on flesh, Spirit."

Qin Ming shuddered immediately, his skin goose-pimpling, is this being slowly chewed while alive, alive eaten?

"Is there a physical form to such a disaster?"

Qin Ming felt it seemed like a man-made disaster.

Xie Yunshu said: "Can’t see."

In the Night Fog, this creature... comes silently, bloodily feasting, while the victim seems blind yet unable to move, even thinking about such a scene makes one’s hair stand, truly terrifying to the extreme.

Qin Ming asked: "Brother Lu, was he... ever gnawed upon, nearly eaten, how did he escape in the end?"

Xie Yunshu said: "At that time, Senior Lu Yu mobilized all connections, invited friends and others together to find Lu Zizai, in suspicious places even summoned the Heaven Suppressing Divine Pillars, finally finding him weak, quietly lying on the ground."

Qin Ming was awestruck, Lu Zizai, who had once ventured into the Supreme Domain, was so bloodied, with only fragments left, abandoned on the cold ground, what a spine-chilling event.

Xie Yunshu corrected, saying: "That disaster chews not the tangible body, but the most precious Life Force."

Back then, after Lu Zizai fell into adversity, his body intact, yet prematurely aged, white-haired, his gaze dim and murky, his potential extracted away, resembling deadwood.

Even his cultivated Heavenly Light was still there, not stripped away, no depletion, only his Life Force reached the point of being exhausted and burned out.

Qin Ming was taken aback, when he initially saw Lu Zizai, although his face was youthful, he exuded a deep sense of fatigue and with a trace of age, black hair mixed with white.

That lurking "decay" proves not his true aging nature, but resulted from his Life Force being extracted, leaving his shell broken, decayed.

Undoubtedly, when Lu Zizai reemerged, constantly reborn, striving for Great Nirvana, shed his old body, lived a brand new self, this truly marked his return.

Such an achievement is truly astonishing!

After his body and spirit were exhausted, somehow revived like spring after winter, returning not merely in peak form but even surpassing his former self, calling it a miracle wouldn’t be excessive.

Qin Ming muttered: "Turns out Brother Lu is far younger than I imagined."

Xie Yunshu nodded, saying: "He may not progress as quickly as you, but he broke the records of all Ancestor Masters, yet with an unfortunate fate."

Qin Ming realized, no wonder Lu Zizai could step into the Supreme Domain, even before full recovery, established his grand ambition to expand the road for the rebirth system.

Brother Lu has ample confidence, and truly possesses that capability.

Xie Yunshu informed: "His original trajectory would have been brilliant, but one Great Realm was disrupted by accident, unable to achieve complete rebirth and Nirvana. In the end, his destiny line was further disturbed, leading to a bleak ending."

Redoing it once, may not be bad, fixing regrets.

Of course, how many people in this world can start over?
