Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1990 It's Raining

Chapter 1991

Liu Qinghuan was on high alert and walked forward slowly.

A sticky, soft sensation came from underfoot. The space was filled with crimson blood mist, and inhaling it made one feel nauseous.

All around were black walls that stretched to the sky and seemed to have no end. The walls appeared soft, but in fact they were incredibly tough, like the flesh of some kind of living thing. Faint silver runes flowed slowly across their surface, densely packed and layered.

Liu Qinghuan frowned, his figure instantly becoming ethereal as he used the Standing Shadowless Escape Technique to rush towards the wall.

But the moment his body touched the wall, he was bounced back by an invisible force—

The wall was essentially a vast net woven from countless spatial patterns, so dense that even the shadowless, upright being who could traverse the void, could not penetrate it even slightly.

Outside the battle platform, thousands of cultivators craned their necks, but could only see a huge black banner that blotted out the sky, completely obscuring what was happening inside.

Liu Qinghuan reappeared, and just as he raised his hand to touch his chin, he heard a whooshing sound as a dark shadow lunged at him, baring its fangs and claws.

Without even looking up, he kicked out, sending the dark figure flying.

Only after landing did he realize that it was a ferocious ghost with two horns on its head, bone wings on its back, and a hideous appearance. He kicked it, and half of its body was shattered, but it still roared and tried to pounce on him.

In that brief instant, countless blood-red eyes suddenly lit up from all directions around him, flashing with venomous light in the darkness, and swarmed over him like a tide.

Liu Qinghuan casually patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, and four beams of spiritual light instantly flew out.

Youyan rushed out first, and before even landing, she transformed into her true form as a phoenix. With a flap of her black and gold wings, phoenix fire spewed out, instantly illuminating the entire dark space.

The ghosts that rushed forward were engulfed by the flames, letting out shrill screams as they tumbled and turned to ashes in the fire.

The few ghosts that managed to escape quickly retreated, only to be kicked into the phoenix fire by Fu Bao with lightning speed.

The most excited of all was the little stone monkey, Huitian. It squeaked and jumped straight into the pile of ghosts. Its two furry paws grabbed a fierce ghost, and with a forceful pull, it swiftly tore the ghost in two.

Then, it opened its mouth wide and swallowed the other's ghost head in one gulp, chewing it with a crunching sound.

Seeing this, Fu Bao jumped up in surprise and exclaimed, "Hui Tian!"

Liu Qinghuan thought he was going to ask Huitian in surprise how he could eat ghosts, but then she heard Fu Bao hurriedly add, "How many times have I told you? You can't eat things from unknown sources. What if you get a stomachache!"

Hui Tian was chewing heartily when he mumbled two words: "Delicious!"

Liu Qinghuan: "..."

For a moment, I was speechless.

He only knew that Huitian was a spiritual stone monkey, born with Buddhist nature, but he never expected that this monkey would also have the ability to eat ghosts.
Are there any Buddhas in this world who love to eat ghosts?
With four spirit beasts blocking his way, the vengeful ghosts couldn't get close to Liu Qinghuan at all. He was finally able to calm down and properly study how to break through the four sealed walls.

All the power of eternal immortality gathered in his right arm, golden light flowed on his fist, and with the force to split mountains and cleave seas, he slammed his fist hard into the black wall!

With a muffled thud, the wall was smashed open, leaving a large dent. Silver light splattered across the dent, and countless runes flashed wildly before disappearing again.

But as soon as he withdrew his fist, the wall bounced back to its original shape like rubber, returning to normal in just a few breaths without leaving a trace.

He then took out the Wei Su Sword, poured all his spiritual power into it, and the sword energy surged dozens of feet, slashing fiercely down at the wall!

With a loud clang, the sword blade cleaved a deep gash several feet deep into the wall.

But then, the surrounding silver runes surged in like a tide, and as the silver light flowed, the deep, bone-revealing sword wound was rapidly repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the Wei Su sword couldn't cut through this wall.

Liu Qinghuan sheathed her sword, raising an eyebrow slightly.

It seems the only option is to let the Void Eater worms out for a spin.

Fortunately, this space was sealed off on all sides, so the cultivators below the stage could not see what was happening inside. Otherwise, if they had seen that he had the Void Devouring Insect, it would have attracted countless covetous eyes and criticisms.

Liu Qinghuan took off a black jade spatial bracelet from her wrist, first probing it with her divine sense, and then took out a piece of immortal clam meat and threw it in.

"This is the last piece. Once it's gone, there really won't be any left." He whispered to the spatial bracelet, "Hurry up and let your children and grandchildren come out to help me gnaw through this wall."

A moment later, a hissing sound came, and dozens of jet-black Void Devouring Insects flew out of the spatial bracelet in a line. As soon as they landed on the wall, they opened their serrated mouthparts and frantically devoured it.

The silver light exploded in the mouth of the Void Eater, which then chewed on it like tofu, making a soft, crunching sound.

Upon discovering that the silver runes were frantically circulating and repairing the wall, the Void Eater became restless and its gnawing speed increased.

"Huh? Why did they retreat?"

Yue Qian's voice suddenly came, filled with doubt. Liu Qinghuan turned her head and saw that the fierce ghosts that had originally swarmed in like a tide were now retreating frantically as if they had seen something extremely terrifying. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the darkness without even a trace of their ghosts.

"Are they afraid of Void Eaters?" Fu Bao tilted his head and muttered curiously.

"Really? They recognize the Void Eater?" Yue frowned. Just as she transformed back into human form, she suddenly raised her hand to touch her forehead and then gasped.

"Hiss... It's raining?"

Liu Qinghuan immediately looked over: "What's wrong?"

Yueyan turned her head and saw a tiny black dot, the size of a pinhead, on his smooth forehead, hissing and emitting black smoke. The surrounding skin was also slightly blackened by corrosion.

He opened his palm again, and saw that his palm was covered in a scarlet color, as if a layer of skin and flesh had been silently corroded away, and even the finger bones were faintly exposed.

Liu Qinghuan's expression instantly darkened, and he abruptly looked up.

In this enclosed, dark space, a light drizzle had begun to fall.

The raindrops were dark red, like diluted blood, falling silently in the darkness without making a sound.

"Come here, all of you! Hurry up!" Liu Qinghuan said, her voice filled with an undeniable urgency.

Although Youxuan and the others had not yet figured out what had happened, their expressions were extremely solemn. They immediately stopped what they were doing and quickly gathered around Liu Qinghuan.

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror suddenly unfolded above his head, transforming into a huge, shimmering white light screen that protected everyone beneath it.

Fine raindrops fell one after another, hitting the light screen of the Heaven and Earth Mirror and making a soft sound like fine sand gliding across the surface.

Each drop of rain that fell created a ripple on the light screen, leaving a dark, corroded spot. In just a few breaths, the bright white light screen was covered with countless black dots.
