Ten thousand I am across the heavens

At this moment, Hei Cheng finally realized the true value of the eldest son. If he were to capture such a monster, there would likely be no chance of being rescued. Even if he were rescued, he would probably fight to the death and remain loyal to the eldest son from the bottom of his heart.

This further solidified his resolve to retire, especially since he was already a freshman.

"We have to get out of here as soon as possible, or we're done for. But this guy is really troublesome. If we don't kill him, there's no way to escape his attack range. No matter where we run, we'll just be brought back."

Black City wasn't without the ability to counter spatial techniques. It was just that the opponent's killing move relied on their own Immortal Gu, making it inherently powerful and impossible for ordinary attacks to counter. With this in mind, he began to devise his own strategy.

"It would be troublesome for me to kill him instantly on my own. This kind of substitution ability could very well allow him to swap the position of my killing move with mine. If that happens, it would hit me directly on the head, which would be troublesome. But it's not impossible. This guy seems to have overlooked a major advantage I have. It looks like he hasn't realized it yet, so this time he's definitely going to die."

Out of the corner of his eye, Hei Cheng watched the black prison being devoured. No one paid any attention to the immortal Gu that was about to fall.

But now he had become the factor that shifted the balance. Black City unleashed his killing move once more, launching a jet-black cylinder. Its high-speed flight and tracking effect made it virtually impossible to dodge, guaranteeing a direct hit to the brain. Even an immortal would experience a brief mental blank during this process, leaving them vulnerable to attack. Even if his position were reversed, this attack would be difficult to land on him, as he could control his own killing move, which itself possessed a tracking ability. The chance of it missing was extremely low.

Just as Chen Feng was about to be hit, he indeed activated the Displacement Technique, swapping his position with his opponent's. This should have pushed the attack further away, but contrary to his expectations, the attack still traced a tiny arc and continued its trajectory towards him. Although he had anticipated this, he could only helplessly stand on his eldest son's body again, connecting his legs to Zhang Zi. This allowed him to transfer his consciousness into his eldest son's body, so that even if his brain was damaged, he could instantly regain his self-awareness after repair.

Just as his feet touched the ground, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking down, he realized that the ground beneath his feet only had a surface layer of writhing flesh, and this writhing flesh wasn't directly connected to the eldest son, but rather covered a black prison. This was the flesh the eldest son used to devour the black prison; just before the replacement began, this part of the flesh had been silently separated from the other flesh, forming an isolated island that couldn't connect with the eldest son. And beneath his feet was no longer the eldest son, but the black prison itself. The enemy's Immortal Gu House wouldn't help him store his self-awareness.

Thinking of this, his expression changed, but before he could react, his body was bound by an invisible force. Like a prisoner locked in a jail, he was unable to move. Following closely behind was a black cylinder that easily pierced his brain, pulverizing its structures. In that instant, even he temporarily lost control of his body. Black City decisively seized this opportunity to press his advantage. He unleashed several similar killing moves in succession, continuously suppressing brain regeneration, suppressing his thoughts, and piercing through various joints in his body, rendering him unable to move.

Black City's breathing became rapid. This killing move only worked because his opponent was careless, believing his abilities to be invincible. That was the reason. If his opponent had carefully observed the environment around the target, he wouldn't have made such a huge mistake. Immortals have strong vitality, and those modified by the eldest son have even stronger vitality. Even if Black City went all out, in a few seconds, at most he could only break his opponent's bones. The strength of that flesh and blood is still considerable. It's not something that can be crushed into powder in a few seconds using only one's own defense. Black City had no time; he could only seize this opportunity to escape quickly. His brain had been continuously shattered, rendering him unable to think, and his body was in such a state that he wouldn't be able to activate his spatial abilities for a while.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely have tried every means to steal the Immortal Gu. This thing was incredibly precious, and he had already defeated his opponent. How could he not want to take it? But now, he wasn't confident he could capture this guy alive. He could only watch helplessly as this clearly powerful Gu worm remained on his body.

The black-haired man, turning and fleeing, failed to notice that the tentacles he had severed were now growing wildly. Only a few hundred meters away, his limp body suddenly opened its eyes, though only the whites of its eyes were visible, seemingly still unconscious. However, it looked in the direction of Black City. Then, instantly, it activated its displacement ability. Black City hadn't expected that even after beating his opponent to such a state, the opponent could still use the displacement ability. Logically, at this point, the brain hadn't yet recovered, consciousness hadn't returned, and the body's recovery would take a considerable amount of time.

Indeed, Chen Feng's strength was inferior to his, and coupled with his carelessness, it was impossible for him to win. But the eldest son was different. In that instant, the eldest son directly took over his brain. Then, controlling his body, he launched that attack. Now, a mass of the eldest son's flesh and blood occupied his brain. Like piloting a mecha, he controlled this Gu worm to fight.

Black City had barely landed when tentacles ensnared him. Although he managed to break free, there was no doubt that any attempt to escape would result in him being switched back. Just as he was considering other plans, he suddenly felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if he had been subjected to countless brutal attacks. Looking down, he saw that his body was indeed riddled with holes, blood flowing freely. He hadn't even realized who had attacked him before he was already injured.

In that very instant, the injuries between the two were forcibly swapped, although this swap consumed a great deal of energy. After all, the enemy was a whole realm higher, instantly draining all of Chen Feng's energy reserves. He wouldn't be able to use any other killing moves for a short time. This injury transfer effect could only last for a dozen seconds, but that was enough.

He had just suffered a life-threatening injury, rendering him unable to move, including his mind. He was almost incapable of thinking clearly. As Hei Cheng realized the excruciating pain in his body, he also noticed his consciousness blurring. He immediately switched his awareness to the Gu worm within his body, but even so, his thinking became sluggish, and the injuries he had sustained were simply too severe. He could barely move and collapsed to the ground, countless tentacles wrapping around him, dragging him towards the eldest son's body. He knew this incredible damage exchange couldn't last forever. Even lasting a dozen seconds would be extremely difficult. But in just a few seconds, he would be dragged hundreds of meters into the eldest son's body. At that point, he would truly be helpless, with no one to turn to for help.

However, if he could hold on for another ten seconds or so, he could make a final, all-out effort. Having recovered to his peak condition, he disregarded the cost, unleashing powerful killing moves in all directions, charging outwards. There was still a chance he could break through. Black City was right. He was ultimately only a seventh-level cultivator. Even if the eldest son's flesh and blood were thick and heavy, it would still be quite difficult to stop him from desperately escaping. But after the exchange in the sky, Chen Feng's condition returned to its peak. Now, he heard the eldest son's voice in his mind. Although the order he was given was utterly absurd, he still obeyed his eldest son without hesitation, charging headlong towards the eldest son's location. Just as he landed on the ground, two tentacles wrapped around him, immobilizing his body.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of tentacles, their tips glowing purple, hurtled towards him like bullets, piercing his body, destroying his meridians, and shredding his torso and brain into pieces. He was practically reduced to a mangled mess. Not a single bone remained intact.

He should have been in extreme pain during this process, but for some reason, he was seen laughing wildly and unrestrainedly throughout. He seemed to be enjoying himself immensely.

Black City's body continued to sink, but he was prepared. As soon as he regained his strength, he would rush upwards with all his might. He would fight with all his might, no matter what, to reach the top. He calculated the time, calculating the moment he would recover. At that moment, his physical state would undergo a dramatic transformation; he had already memorized the feeling of his injuries being replaced.

As expected, this incredible ability couldn't last indefinitely. When the effect wore off, he decisively tried to surge forward, but the instant his body underwent a dramatic transformation, his eyes widened in shock. He hadn't returned to his peak condition; instead, he felt instantly weakened—even weaker than before.

Black City's eyes widened as he realized what had just happened. After his physical state was swapped, his opponent had gone so far as to severely injure him. Therefore, when his physical state was restored, it could only revert to a severely injured state. Now, no matter how the swap occurred, he would remain critically injured. This kind of suicidal fighting style was something only someone truly unafraid of death would attempt. Because if one were to be finished off in the moment of extreme weakness, the state of death wouldn't be swapped back. After all, the swap originated from him; once the source of the killing move was dead, the killing move itself ended.

Black City desperately tried to struggle on. But his opponent was using this self-destructive method of combat, leaving him no way out. In his current state, even with his exceptional self-repair abilities, he would be dragged deep into the core of his intestines. At that point, even with extraordinary abilities, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Reality was far worse than he had imagined, for he had no chance to recover. Caught in a state of severe injury, he was unable to resist his eldest son's attacks, and his body was being continuously destroyed. This constant destruction prevented its repair, while nerves pierced through his body, replacing his original nerves and taking control of his body. In the process, they gradually took over his senses, completely pulling him into a mental world where he was entirely at their mercy.

Chen Feng was about to experience everything he had gone through. And so far, no one who had undergone such sensory stimulation beyond human limits had managed to maintain their sanity. Almost without exception, they all completely sided with the eldest son.

Through the information gathered from various legions, He Cheng quickly learned that a seventh-rank expert had perished within the eldest son's body. Furthermore, the Immortal Gu House he had brought with him was also destroyed inside. This devastating turn of events left them speechless. If before they were confident they could stop all of the eldest son's ultimate life forms with all their might, and, with the two eighth-rank experts they had painstakingly acquired, completely win this annihilation battle, now, with these few casualties, they had absolutely no chance left.

After the eldest son dragged the Black Prison of the Immortal Gu House in Black City into his body, it was being rapidly modified. Having already witnessed the Immortal Gu House firsthand, the eldest son, with his extraordinary learning ability, quickly summarized the underlying principles and began studying them. It wouldn't be long before he learned how to apply them.

At this moment, he was about to modify a special immortal Gu house for his escape, and prepare to send the super life forms he had differentiated to all parts of the world as quickly as possible after his main structure was completely destroyed.

As for the immortals he captured and modified, although it was a pity, most of them could only be used as cannon fodder to buy time. However, these cannon fodder were quite useful, and after modification, their strength would be greatly enhanced.

Especially Black City, who was captured as a pleasant surprise. This guy already possessed a Celestial Gu, and his basic strength was not weak. After the modification, the combat power he could gain was definitely not enough to directly confront an Eighth-Rank expert. However, it was possible for him to cause trouble for an Eighth-Rank expert. This would be considered among the top tier in history. There might not be one person in the first half of the year who could fight against an Eighth-Rank expert with only a Seventh-Rank body, and if one were to emerge, they would be a future peerless genius. They would be strong enough to advance to the Quasi-Immortal Venerable realm in the future. To achieve this level through near-forced human modification, the eldest son's biotechnology has exceeded the comprehension of humanity in this world.
