My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 803: The Secret Of Immortality

“You!” As a product born from the harmony of the laws of heaven and earth, it wields the power of numerous dao’s from the three realms.

The Heavenly Soul was proud and arrogant, and has never taken any existence seriously, even the Heavenly Emperor of the Immortal Realm and the Ghost Lord of the Ghost Realm.

But when had it ever suffered such humiliation? To have its head taken off by a mere boy who dared to complain about its verbosity?

This brat must be killed! It seethed with killing intent, almost materializing. The head of the Heavenly Soul emitted a chilling laughter.

In its blood-red eyes, purple runes swirled and spread, entwining around Qin Feng’s right arm like venomous snakes.

It was the strongest poison in the three realms. Even those in the transcendence realm would suffer greatly if tainted by it, ultimately meeting their demise!

During the invasion of the Immortal Realm, countless immortals fell under this move. Yet Qin Feng dared to get so close to it, he was truly seeking death!

However, the expected cries of pain did not occur. The deadly power of the dao was unable to penetrate Qin Feng’s body.

His body was enveloped in the pure moonlight power that effortlessly blocked the purple runes. Then, the moonlight emitted a dazzling white light, and the runes were instantly dissipated!

A flicker of surprise flashed in the Heavenly Soul’s eyes. As the last parasite of Primordial Qi in the Three Realms, it would be too boring if he was killed so easily.

The purple runes were just a distraction to divert Qin Feng’s attention. The real killer move was actually the headless body behind him!

In almost a thousandth of an instant, the headless body transformed into a long sword, it appeared at Qin Feng’s neck ignoring the hundred meter distance.

The corners of the Heavenly Soul’s mouth curled up, as if it had already seen the scene of the opponent’s head flying. This was the punishment it deserved.

But who knew? Qin Feng leaned to the side, and with his left hand, he directly grabbed the formidable long sword with just two fingers!

“Is that all?” His indifferent words were like thunder exploding in the Heavenly Soul’s ears. 

With a crisp sound, the long sword, derived from the Heavenly Soul’s body, was effortlessly shattered into pieces! Qin Feng’s right hand surged with Primordial Immortal Qi. With a firm grip, he crushed the Heavenly Soul’s head!

Buzz! A strange fluctuation swept around. The people who were previously frozen by the Dao of Time and Space regained their mobility.

They were both shocked and puzzled as they looked around. The approaching dark clouds seemed more ominous, but the terrifying Heavenly Soul was nowhere to be seen.

On the battlefield, only that holy figure remained.

“Could it be…” Zhang Heng widened his eyes. Zhao Wenhao spread out his divine consciousness but couldn’t sense the terrifying being’s presence.

Only the crystalline dust scattered around the battlefield, sparkling like snowflakes under the winter sun. Zhou Qi’s face was filled with disbelief. “No, it’s impossible. Master couldn’t have been destroyed! He’s immortal!”

“No, something’s wrong,” Father Qin seemed to have noticed something. Why did the crystalline dust persist without dispersing?

Thud! Thud! Thud! 

The sound of a heartbeat echoed from somewhere, and the crystalline dust seemed to be guided, converging towards a certain direction.

If one looked closely, they would see a crack in space, within which a black heart covered in runes was beating incessantly.

As the dust gathered and took on a humanoid form, in a matter of moments, the Heavenly Soul reappeared, swaying its neck with an indifferent smile.

Upon seeing this, the hearts of the Netherworld’s inhabitants sank. Even if its body was shattered into dust, it could still regenerate. This immortal ability was so powerful that it left people in despair.

Zhao Wenhao frowned, pondering a strategy against the enemy. Unfortunately, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had been petrified, and the golden bowl had already been shattered. At present, who else could seal it again?

As for completely annihilating it… with the Heavenly Soul’s strength, it seemed like a foolish dream.

“Wait a little longer. If Ghost Lord can break free, there might still be a chance to turn the tables,” Zhao Wenhao consoled himself.

A sinister laughter echoed, “You’ve indeed exceeded my expectations, but the outcome won’t change no matter what. I can die a thousand, ten thousand times, but you can only die once. And how long can you maintain your current state?” With these words, Zhao Wenhao and the others all looked at Qin Feng.

They knew that his current state was forcibly elevated through some means, which must have consumed a lot of energy and couldn’t be sustained for too long.

But the key issue was that, currently, only Qin Feng could stop the Heavenly Soul. If he failed, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Just then, Qin Feng spoke up, “In this world, the methods of substituting lives all come with a price.” 

“Ghost generals can learn the Plucking Stars and Seizing Life technique through the Yellow Spring dead souls, allowing them to become immortal. Those from the Immortal Realm can leave their names on the Destiny Monument and master the creation of the incarnation, substituting lives through it.” 

“However, neither of these methods can achieve true immortality because both the Yellow Springs dead souls and the creation of the incarnation have limited quantities.” 

The Heavenly Soul sneered, “I thought you were going to say something remarkable, but it turns out to be these meaningless words. Our divine abilities are not comparable to such crude methods!” 

Zhao Wenhao and the others furrowed their brows. After fighting against these creatures for so long, how could they not have attempted to find out the secret of their immortality?

But the deeper they delved into their investigation, the more they felt a profound sense of despair because there seemed to be no trace to be found!

Qin Feng spoke again, “After learning that you are products of the laws of heaven and earth, I once thought that you could live as long as heaven and earth existed, and only when the three realms perished could you be destroyed.”

“Isn’t that true?” The Heavenly Soul’s expression inexplicably calmed down.

“Of course not.”

“What do you mean?” The Netherworld’s inhabitants present all looked at Qin Feng. They saw him looking in Zhou Qi’s direction.

“The strand of essence left by Ksitigarbha allowed me to witness everything that happened in the Cuiyun Palace. There, Zhou Qi once said something like this — when the three realms reopen and all things return to silence, the souls in the Netherworld will cease to exist.”

“This…” Zhao Wenhao instantly grasped the key point. Zhou Qi realized it too and turned pale with fear.

Qin Feng spoke again, “He has already been commanded by you, so the reopening of the three realms and the return of all things to silence are also your desires.” 

“How could a group of creatures who want to destroy the three realms possibly live as long as heaven and earth? So, just now, I deliberately shattered your body to seek out the secret of your immortality.” 

Pausing for a moment, Qin Feng spoke each word like crashing waves, “The price of your immortality, similar to the creation of the incarnation in the Immortal Realm, is to use other creatures as substitutes for death! And those creatures are not within the three realms…” 

And all of this was gleaned by Qin Feng using the Dao of Heavenly Mandate!

In that moment, his gaze transmigrated across time and space, landing in a strange world. There, countless monsters filled the area, making one’s scalp tingle.

And the moment the Heavenly Soul died, countless inexplicable creatures vanished, clearly acting as substitutes for death! The expression in the Heavenly Soul’s eyes turned dark.

Zhou Qi was so terrified that he sat paralyzed on the ground. He also knew this secret because, after years of fighting and witnessing the terrifying immortality of these creatures, he became disheartened and afraid of death.

So he betrayed the Netherworld, throwing himself into the enemy’s camp, in exchange for the opportunity to be immortal! But how could he have expected that this insignificant boy from the mortal realm would be able to see through it all, all because of his loose tongue!

“Master, please listen to my explanation,” the Heavenly Soul didn’t respond with words, only tightening its right hand. Zhou Qi’s flesh seemed to burst like an inflated balloon, splattering blood everywhere.

But he didn’t die because that blood and flesh were mysteriously gathered and reassembled, eventually turning into the appearance of those monsters.

This scene was incredibly shocking to the Netherworld’s inhabitants. The central Ghost Emperor, the object of their respect, ended up in such a plight!

Shentu’s face was filled with sorrow. Zhao Wenhao and the others exchanged looks with complicated expressions.

“He was more of a liability than an asset,” the Heavenly Soul said coldly.

“Even if what you said is true, so what? That world is inaccessible to anyone, and we will still be immortal,” 

Qin Feng replied indifferently. “Beings like you require a large number of substitutes for death to resurrect, and there will always be a time when the number runs out.”

“You!” the Heavenly Soul glared. But before it could say anything else, Qin Feng raised his right hand, and the white light of the moon shone like a blade, effortlessly cleaving the Heavenly Soul in two!

Such a method left even Zhao Wenhao and the others dumbfounded. Although the Heavenly Soul resurrected again, there was a trace of fear in its eyes.

This was something it had never experienced before, not even when facing the Heavenly Emperor, or the Ghost Lord! 

With a sudden roar, the dark clouds formed by the creatures condensed and attacked from above. If Qin Feng couldn’t split himself up, how could he repeatedly kill the Heavenly Soul?

And the overall strength of the creatures was obviously higher than that of the inhabitants of the Netherworld! Everyone was terrified by the overwhelming number of creatures. This quantity was only seen in the great battle of thousands of years ago!

Zhang Heng and the other Ghost Emperors roared, barely stabilizing the morale, and then led the ghost soldiers to attack the creatures.

But the situation was almost one-sided. The Heavenly Soul chuckled, “Why don’t you guess whether you will kill me a thousand times first, or will this Netherworld be destroyed first?” 

Qin Feng closed his eyes slightly and then spoke softly, “Domain, activate.”
