From Mortal Body to Immortality

However, Zhang Chu didn't think much of Bai Di giving Lu Sheng a Bai Di Token.

After all, with the talent Lu Sheng displayed, he was fully qualified to receive this Bai Di Token.

But—what shocked Zhang Chu was that Bai Di actually wanted to meet Lu Sheng.

Even though Lu Sheng was asked to meet Bai Di after breaking through to the seventh rank.

However, Zhang Chu could also see from Bai Di's tone that Bai Di seemed extremely confident about Lu Sheng breaking through to the seventh rank.

As if it was a certainty.

You should know that even he, Bai Di's grand-disciple, didn't have many opportunities to see Bai Di.

And what's even more shocking is that Bai Di... actually wanted to take a disciple!

Once Lu Sheng really became Bai Di's disciple, wouldn't his status rise and his seniority increase by a generation at the same time?

Wouldn't he have to call Lu Sheng 'Senior Uncle' then?

Thinking of this, Zhang Chu fell into silence.

How did reporting something result in him gaining a 'Senior Uncle' and his seniority dropping by a generation out of nowhere?

However, Zhang Chu still respectfully said to Bai Di, "I will respectfully obey Senior Grandmaster's order!"

As soon as he finished speaking, ripples appeared in the space in front of him, but it returned to calm in an instant.

Zhang Chu looked at the Bai Di Token floating in front of him, his expression slightly complicated, but he still put it away.

He didn't know how long had passed, but Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, only to fall into silence.

"Although I barely touched a trace of the edge of True Intent, it's still a bit insufficient if I want to directly comprehend it.

My current understanding of True Intent can barely be considered a prototype."

Lu Sheng shook his head regretfully.

Martial Dao True Intent is not so easy to comprehend. Many people cultivate the Intent Realm Domain to perfection, but throughout their lives, they may not be able to rely on the Intent Realm Domain to comprehend Martial Dao True Intent.

And Lu Sheng being able to touch the edge of Martial Dao True Intent at his current age is already very terrifying.

"Forget it, Martial Dao True Intent can't be rushed. Let's take it one step at a time. As the levels of the Five Elements Return to Ruins Art and the Life and Death Emperor Seal increase, there will also be a certain increase in the Life and Death Intent Realm Domain and the Five Elements Intent Realm Domain."

"At that time, comprehending Martial Dao True Intent should be even easier."

Lu Sheng shook his head. Although he didn't successfully master Martial Dao True Intent, he wasn't in a hurry. His gaze fell on the passage leading to the ninety-eighth layer of heaven and earth.

With one step, Lu Sheng directly arrived at the ninety-eighth layer.

And in the outside world, the light of the ninety-eighth layer of the Ink Dragon Tower instantly brightened up.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! This guy Lu Sheng has finally entered the ninety-eighth layer! We... can be considered to be witnessing another record being broken!"

As the light of the ninety-eighth layer of the Ink Dragon Tower shone, the Star River Academy students who were originally doing other things also put down what they were doing and looked at the Ink Dragon Tower.

They looked at the Ink Dragon Tower with shining eyes and spoke one after another.

"I don't know how long it will take for Lu Sheng to pass the ninety-eighth layer. He stayed in the ninety-seventh layer for so long, he should have made some breakthroughs. This ninety-eighth layer shouldn't be a problem for Lu Sheng."

"Definitely. Lu Sheng only spent two months to pass the ninety-seventh layer. Although the difficulty of the ninety-eighth layer is a bit higher, it shouldn't be a problem for Lu Sheng to spend some time."

"Now... it depends on how long it will take Lu Sheng to pass this ninety-eighth layer!"

There was a lot of discussion.

Time also began to pass bit by bit.

One month later.

Inside the ninety-eighth layer of heaven and earth.

In the depths of the boundless grassland, Lu Sheng held the Life and Death Emperor Seal in one hand, with the phantom of the Sky-Reaching Vine appearing behind him, and even endless abyss phenomena. Around Lu Sheng, there was a dense rain and mist.

Every drop of rain in the rain and mist exuded an extremely terrifying power.

It instantly killed the white giant wolf that was hundreds of meters tall in front of him.

Moo!

The giant wolf roared, but it was instantly hit by a black and white jade seal falling from the sky. The terrifying suppressing power was vented on the giant wolf's body, causing the giant wolf's cultivation to plummet instantly.

"It's time to end!"

Lu Sheng said indifferently, taking a step forward. A golden fist mark instantly tore through the sky and fell into the giant wolf's body.

The body exploded, and the Xuan Light of Decay and Prosperity, like maggots attached to bones, instantly crawled all over the giant wolf's body.

Constantly devouring the vitality in the giant wolf's body.

As wisps of vitality poured in, lines of subtitles also appeared in Lu Sheng's vision.

【Progress of the Life and Death Emperor Seal +1!】

【Progress of the Life and Death Emperor Seal +1】

【Progress of the Five Elements Return to Ruins Art +1!】

【...】

After a while, the giant wolf, which was hundreds of meters tall, had its vitality extracted, and even its body began to shrink and become smaller. Then, with a wave of Lu Sheng's hand, it turned into a pile of powder and dissipated between the heaven and earth.

And at the position where the giant wolf's body dissipated, the entrance to the ninety-ninth layer also suddenly appeared at this moment.

"Ninety-ninth layer..."

Lu Sheng looked at the entrance to the ninety-ninth layer, and there was a different kind of light flashing in his eyes.

The last ten layers of the Ink Dragon Tower all have cosmic aliens comparable to the late sixth rank guarding them. Those who can reach here are all sixth rank students of the Star River Academy.

"Late sixth rank... Now, cosmic creatures of the mid sixth rank are no longer too challenging for me. I just don't know what kind of pressure these cosmic aliens of the late sixth rank can bring to me!"

Lu Sheng said softly, but there was a gleam in his eyes.

Then, Lu Sheng took a step and instantly plunged into the passage, disappearing into this grassland world.

As Lu Sheng entered the ninety-ninth layer, a scarlet light suddenly appeared on the ninety-ninth layer of the Ink Dragon Tower, accompanied by circles of scarlet ripples rippling out.

"Ninety-ninth layer!! Lu Sheng succeeded! Lu Sheng has entered the ninety-ninth layer!!"

And those Star River Academy students who had been paying attention to the changes in the Ink Dragon Tower reacted the moment they saw this scene and exclaimed one after another.

"Broken! Broken! The record is broken!"

"Lu Sheng actually really entered the ninety-ninth layer!"

"As expected of someone who can summon the phantom of Lord Bai Di from the Sword Asking Stone. Now, he can even break the fifth rank record of the Ink Dragon Tower by breaking through this Ink Dragon Tower!"

"I don't know how long Lu Sheng can last in the ninety-ninth layer. If I remember correctly, when Senior Brother Eight first entered the ninety-ninth layer, it also took him three and a half years to barely pass this ninety-ninth layer!"

"After reaching the ninety-ninth layer, you have to match a special way to pass the level, and a special venue will be created according to the challenger's martial arts. While the difficulty increases, the risk factor for the challenger also increases.

If you are not careful, you may even die inside!"

Everyone spoke one after another, but their eyes were fixed on the position of the ninety-ninth layer of the Ink Dragon Tower.

"I hope Lu Sheng doesn't resist it head-on, otherwise, he may very well be trapped inside if he's not careful."

"If it's other special venues, it's fine, but if it matches the Life and Death Battlefield, it will be troublesome. After all, the Life and Death Battlefield... is a special venue where you can only come out after a life-and-death decision."

"It depends on whether Lu Sheng is lucky or not. If he's unlucky and encounters the Life and Death Field, unless the instructor intervenes, otherwise... it will be troublesome."

At the same time, Lu Sheng also came to the world of this ninety-ninth layer.

When he first entered, the surrounding world was completely dark. Even with Lu Sheng's fifth rank perfection cultivation,

he couldn't even see what the surroundings looked like.

It was only after a few minutes that light appeared in this black world.

Under the shroud of light, a starry sky battlefield also came into Lu Sheng's view.

"Hmm?"

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze falling on this starry sky battlefield.

All around, planets floated quietly in the void of the universe, and there were even dense meteorite belts wrapped around the planets.

And not far away, Lu Sheng saw an extremely familiar figure.

"This is... a late sixth rank powerhouse of the Blood Bone Clan?"

“Blood Bone Spirit, huh? An old acquaintance!”

Lu Sheng noticed a Blood Bone Clan powerhouse sitting cross-legged on one of the planets.

Perhaps sensing Lu Sheng's gaze, the Blood Bone Clan powerhouse suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze landing directly on Lu Sheng.

“Human… prodigy?”

The Blood Bone Clan powerhouse spoke hoarsely, followed by an overwhelming surge of anger in his eyes.

“Human… damned!”

The Blood Bone Clan powerhouse roared, his eyes seeming to want to devour Lu Sheng whole.

The alien races in the later levels of the Black Dragon Tower, including the Blood Bone Clan before him, were all captured and suppressed within the tower by the White Emperor himself.

After countless years, they couldn't escape. They understood that they were being used as whetstones for these human prodigies.

Yet, in certain specific places, even if they wanted to kill these human prodigies, they couldn't due to the rules of the Black Dragon Tower.

As a result…

Suppressed and angry emotions constantly accumulated in their minds, causing their hatred for human prodigies to reach a peak!

Just then, blood-colored characters suddenly appeared in the sky.

“Life or Death… Battle!”

As those three blood-colored characters emerged, a strong sense of chilling intent swept through the entire Starry Sky Battlefield.

When the Blood Bone Clan powerhouse saw these three characters, a hint of ecstasy immediately appeared in his eyes.

“Hahaha, a life or death battle!”

“Damned humans, it seems luck isn't on your side!”

The Blood Bone Clan powerhouse laughed loudly, a greedy look emerging on his狰狞 face.

“The flesh and blood of a human prodigy… it’s been so long since I’ve tasted it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Bone Clan powerhouse instantly shot towards Lu Sheng like a rapidly flying comet.

The ground of the planet beneath him directly caved in, his late-stage Sixth Order cultivation instantly surging into the void of space.

Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and the Domains of Life and Death Intent and Five Elements Intent abruptly erupted.

The Life and Death Emperor Seal floated in his palm, and behind him, the Sky-Piercing Vine was bathed in the water mist of the abyss, instantly erupting with terrifying attacks, fiercely striking towards the Blood Bone Spirit!

Rumble!!!

Terrifying energy constantly ravaged the heavens and earth, the Blood Bone Spirit's eyes filled with murderous intent.

“Kill, kill, kill!”

“Die for me!”

Overwhelming murderous intent was constantly unleashed on Lu Sheng, as if wanting to tear him into pieces. Lu Sheng was not afraid, relying on the amplification of the Impression of the World, he stubbornly fought with this late-stage Sixth Order Blood Bone Spirit.

As time passed, even with the amplification of the Impression of the World, coupled with the suppressing power of the Life and Death Emperor Seal, Lu Sheng still felt himself gradually falling into a disadvantage.

“A late-stage Sixth Order Blood Bone Spirit, even without the amplification of flesh and blood corpses, its battle power is much stronger than those mid-stage Sixth Order alien races.”

“Right now… I’m still not his match.”

“Unless… I can comprehend the True Meaning of Life and Death!”

Lu Sheng quickly pondered in his heart.

“But right now, I’ve only just touched the edge of the True Meaning of Life and Death, not even a complete form yet, it’s a bit troublesome!”

Lu Sheng sighed slightly in his heart. There was still a certain gap between him and the late-stage Sixth Order.

“Life or death battle… I must kill the Blood Bone Spirit before me, otherwise I’ll be the one to die!”

A sharp look filled Lu Sheng's eyes.

Of course, if he was in danger, Zhang Chu might step in to save him, but Lu Sheng was never one to place his hopes on others.

Relying on others… is ultimately not as good as relying on oneself.

The Life and Death Emperor Seal constantly rotated, extracting the Blood Bone Spirit's life force, feeding it back to Lu Sheng. It was precisely because of this that Lu Sheng was able to maintain his peak state and not be killed by the opponent, even when falling into a disadvantage.

“Then let’s see who lasts longer!”

Lu Sheng's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he erupted with terrifying attacks again, striking towards the Blood Bone Spirit.

Three years later.

Rumble!!!

Terrifying energy surged in the Starry Sky Battlefield, and large meteorites were shattered into powder under the terrifying energy, dissipating into the heavens and earth.

The Blood Bone Spirit's eyes had already become scarlet red at this moment.

He frantically attacked Lu Sheng.

As a Sixth Order cosmic creature, even after fighting continuously for several years, he would not show any signs of decline. But what frustrated him was that the human prodigy before him was clearly only a Fifth Order transcendent, yet he was able to entangle with him for three years, and during these three years, the opponent's state could always remain at its peak.

This also meant that during these three years, he had not been able to do anything to the opponent!

“Damn it, this guy…”

The Blood Bone Spirit was annoyed in his heart. He could feel his life force being extracted by the opponent, but this life force was nothing to him, a late-stage Sixth Order cosmic creature.

But after being extracted continuously for three years, even he… was a little unbearable.

On the other side of the Blood Bone Spirit, Lu Sheng's expression was calm, and the Life and Death Emperor Seal constantly rotated, rich life force feeding back Lu Sheng's body.

Lu Sheng also used that rich life force to constantly comprehend.

“Domain of Life and Death Intent… the cycle of life and death, life force transforms into the aura of death, and the aura of death can also transform into life force.”

“Then what should the True Meaning of Life and Death… be?”

During these three years, Lu Sheng's comprehension of the True Meaning of Life and Death became deeper and deeper. The incomplete prototype from before,

also gradually became perfect during these three years.

This was also the reason why Lu Sheng was able to persist in the hands of the Blood Bone Spirit for three years.

“Life or death battle… life and death, where there is life, there is death…”

“Although the life or death battle seems unlucky to me, and even matching with the Blood Bone Spirit before me, it is full of killing intent everywhere.”

“But in this sky full of killing intent, there is still a chance of survival.”

“And this chance of survival…”

Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes, and the Sky-Piercing Vine, with the blessing of the abyss phenomenon, the vines were stained with rain and mist, and frantically extracted, resisting the Blood Bone Spirit's attacks.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng opened his eyes, and a bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and circles of the Domain of Life and Death Intent frantically spread, and the black Xuan Light of flourishing and withering covered the Blood Bone Spirit's flesh and blood.

“I think this is my True Meaning of Life and Death!”

Lu Sheng spoke softly, and a mysterious aura suddenly emerged from Lu Sheng's body and entered the Life and Death Emperor Seal.

[Ding, the Domain of Life and Death Intent has advanced to the True Meaning of Life and Death!]

Buzzing!!!

The Life and Death Emperor Seal made a series of slight humming sounds, and a powerful suppressing force suddenly erupted.

Under this suppressing force, even the late-stage Sixth Order Blood Bone Spirit could not help but stagnate, and then a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

“This power… how is it possible!”

“How could you master the True Meaning!”

The Blood Bone Spirit exclaimed, and the horror in his eyes gradually turned into fear.

Even he, a late-stage Sixth Order powerhouse, had never mastered the True Meaning.

How could the guy in front of him, who was only Fifth Order, possibly do it!

However, even if it was hard to believe, the fact was placed before the Blood Bone Spirit.

The continuous extraction of life force for three years had made him unable to maintain his peak state, and under this suppressing force, his cultivation had also plummeted instantly.

Although he could barely maintain the late-stage Sixth Order cultivation, his combat power was weakened too much compared to before. “Everything… should end!”

Lu Sheng's faint voice sounded, and he slowly pushed out a punch towards the Blood Bone Spirit.

Severing Realm Calamity Dust!

The golden fist mark descended, instantly shattering a void!
