Chapter 1821: Chapter 1818: Demon Clan Sacrifice
The entire Ancient Martial World can be disregarded.
"Help me reconstruct my body?"
The old Taoist was taken aback by this, then he smiled and said: "Chen Feng, you don’t think this is a simple task, do you?"
"Is it very difficult?"
Chen Feng asked in confusion.
"Not difficult, not difficult, it’s just like forging a Holy Artifact, that simple!"
The old Taoist shook his head, smiled, and teased.
Upon hearing this.
Chen Feng’s face immediately changed.
Holy Artifact!
That is an existence beyond a Divine Artifact.
In today’s Earth’s Ancient Martial World, Divine Artifacts are already very rare, and as for Holy Artifacts, even more so.
To be able to forge a Holy Artifact.
How formidable must such an existence be!
And now, the old Taoist said that the difficulty of reconstructing his body is almost the same as forging a Holy Artifact.
This really shocked Chen Feng.
After all, with his current abilities, let alone forging a Holy Artifact, he hasn’t even seen one before.
"Senior, you’re not joking with me, are you?"
Chen Feng asked with a wry smile.
"I’m not joking with you! What kind of body do you think could withstand my soul, this kind of Soul Body? An ordinary person’s body? That would probably burst before my soul even enters it! It must be a body with Holy Artifact-like strength to bear my soul, otherwise, it just won’t do!"
The old Taoist said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was also stunned.
Then, after thinking carefully, he figured it out.
Exactly!
After all, no matter what.
As a super powerful being from Ancient Times, the old Taoist’s strength far exceeds the Heaven Rank, unfathomable.
In that case, his Soul Body must also be stronger than that of ordinary experts.
And as the body serves as the soul’s vessel, when the soul is powerful, the body will naturally follow suit.
It’s like an ordinary person’s soul is equivalent to a liter of water, and an ordinary person’s body is equivalent to a one-liter container.
When a liter of water is poured into a liter container, there’s naturally no problem.
But the old Taoist’s soul is much more powerful than the average person.
It’s like being a hundred liters of water.
If you try to squeeze these hundred liters of water into a one-liter container, wouldn’t that container explode on the spot?
So, to withstand the soul of such intensity as the old Taoist’s, it must have an equally strong body.
With the old Taoist’s peak level strength, wouldn’t he require a body with Holy Artifact strength to truly be compatible?
Thinking about this.
Chen Feng also shrugged his shoulders helplessly, then chuckled and said: "Alright, consider it as if I didn’t ask!"
"Haha, kid, you’re quite considerate! I didn’t help you so many times for nothing! To think you even considered reconstructing my body, that’s good enough, your heart is in the right place! However, with your current strength and abilities, you really can’t pull that off. When you truly have that capability in the future, we can talk about it then! By then, I will certainly be grateful to you!"
The old Taoist chuckled and said.
"Then what level do I need to reach?"
Chen Feng pouted and asked.
"At the very least, you need to reach the same level as my peak state, perhaps then you can help me reconstruct my body!"
The old Taoist chuckled and said.
"What was your peak state, senior? It must be much stronger than the Heaven Rank, right?"
Chen Feng probed.
"Heaven Rank?"
The old Taoist gave a disdainful smile and said: "Kid, not to discourage you, but in those Ancient Times, a Heavenly Rank Expert was just cannon fodder, above the Heaven Rank there are still several realms, only then can you be considered a real expert, as for the Heaven Rank, forget it!"
"Where were you at that time? Senior, I’ve already cultivated to the Heaven Rank now, you promised me that once I reach the Heaven Rank, you would tell me the things I wanted to know, can you help me with an explanation now?"
Chen Feng eagerly asked.
"Seeing how curious you are, I’ll tell you a bit!"
The old Taoist nodded, then slightly curved his lips, and said with a faint smile: "In Ancient Times, although my strength wasn’t the strongest, at least I had a notable reputation, not on the level of a peak existence like Emperor Tianqi, but below Emperor Tianqi, I was still quite strong, at that time my realm was roughly..."
However, just as the old Taoist was about to finish speaking.
"Roar!!!"
Suddenly, an unbelievably angry roar erupted by the seaside.
This interrupted the old man’s words.
And that angry roar was indeed from the previous monster.
This caused the expressions of the old man, Chen Feng, and the Devouring Sky Python to subtly change.
Because that last strike from the Devouring Sky Python had almost completely crippled the monster, leaving it just a breath or two from death.
Yet that angry roar just now was full of vitality, as if it weren’t injured at all.
This made all three of them furrow their brows, then quickly turned to look towards the monster’s location.
With this glance, the three were stunned.
They saw the monster, somehow already crawled out from the ditch, standing there, biting its own arms that continuously oozed black blood.
"Gnaw! Gnaw!"
It frantically bit into its pitch-black arms, tearing off chunk after chunk of black flesh.
Then, it directly swallowed them into its mouth, consuming them raw.
It was actually eating its own flesh!
This horrifying scene immediately changed Chen Feng’s expression.
What’s this guy doing?
Is it insane?
Could anger have clouded its mind, causing it to start self-mutilating?
"Not good!"
Just then, the old man’s voice suddenly rang out beside him.
"Senior, what’s wrong?"
Chen Feng turned to the old man, asking in confusion.
"This demon creature has gone mad, it plans to sacrifice itself!"
The old man said with an ugly expression.
"Sacrifice itself? What for?"
Chen Feng furrowed his brow, asking puzzledly.
"Do you know why the Ancient Demon Clan was so terrifying? Besides possessing power far superior to humans, they also held a Demon Clan Forbidden Technique. It’s exceedingly bloody and cruel, allowing them to sacrifice their own body, even their life, to gain immense strength for a short time. After that, they die directly. This suicide-like forbidden technique is utterly insane. During Ancient Times, quite a few of our human experts were wiped out by the Ancient Demon Clan using this forbidden technique!"
The old man said with a hard expression.
Although he didn’t elaborate much, it was clear from his expression and tone.
He’s quite fearful of this self-sacrificial Demon Clan Forbidden Technique.
After all, he has experienced that era and witnessed firsthand the terror of this forbidden technique.
So now encountering it again naturally invokes many bad memories for him.
"Then... how much can its power increase?"
Chen Feng furrowed his brow and hurriedly asked.
"Double! At least double!"
The old man said with a grim expression.
"What!"
Chen Feng was utterly astonished.
Knowing that the monster’s current power was already at Heavenly Rank Perfection, if doubled, wouldn’t it directly surpass Heaven Rank?
By then, not only would the three of them be helpless, but across the entire Ancient Martial World, there would be no one capable of defeating it.
Considering the current state of the Ancient Martial World.
Up until now, there hasn’t been an expert of that caliber.
Heavenly Rank Perfection is already the ceiling of the Ancient Martial World.
And once this monster’s power reaches that level, it would be a massive disaster not just for the Ancient Martial World but for Earth as well.
"We must stop it!"
Chen Feng bit his lip and said resolutely.
Then he directly looked at the old man, asking: "Senior, do you know if the Ancient Demon Clan’s forbidden technique can be terminated once started?"
"Of course it can! As long as you kill it before it completes the sacrifice, you can stop it, but... I’m afraid that won’t be easy!"
The old man nodded, speaking with a solemn expression.
"Why?"
Chen Feng paused in surprise, questioning.
"It looks like this demon creature has already commenced its sacrifice. Once it begins, it not only enhances its power but also heals its injuries. You all saw earlier, we had heavily wounded this monster, leaving it just a breath away, but now look at its aura, recovering at an astonishing speed. At this rate, in a few minutes, it will restore to peak condition and complete the sacrifice! By then, nothing can stop it!"
The old man spoke solemnly.
