Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 285 Immortal Body
At this moment, Lin Fan walked over out of curiosity, wanting to know what the puppy was doing, that it had arranged for someone to dig a hole for no reason.

As far as he knew, countless skeletons were buried beneath the entire immortal island. Even though they were very powerful in life, their divine essence had been lost, rendering them of little use.

"Can't a dog change its nature and still want to gnaw on bones?" Lin Fan sneered.

Of course, this was just a joke. Based on his understanding of puppies, it probably meant something deeper, perhaps there's treasure underground.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself!"

"Hey, you're not dead, kid? Are you scared and giving up on cultivating the second immortal energy? I thought you'd be stubborn enough to use the Chaos Technique... cough, let me collect your corpse..."

The puppy lay in the beautiful woman's arms, looking utterly disappointed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan's face darkened, and he wished he could kick it. It was such a scoundrel, actually hoping for his death so it could seize his treasure.

"What are you having people dig for here?" he asked directly, but he knew it was unlikely that he would get anything out of a dog's mouth.

However, unexpectedly, the puppy revealed its purpose: "This place is called Fairy Island, so naturally there are immortals buried here. I'm digging graves."

"what?!"

Lin Fan's eyes widened; he was truly astonished by this news. The existence of such a thing beneath the island was truly shocking.

Furthermore, this island hides far too many secrets: immortal seeds, five elements of immortal metal, immortal king's stone chamber, etc. It's probably not a treasure trove of immortals, is it?

"what……"

Suddenly, several screams came from the large pit, accompanied by bursts of blood, which startled Lin Fan and the puppy.

"Run!" a group of people shouted, terrified, covered in blood, as they all flew out of the hole hundreds of feet deep.

Clearly, judging from their expressions, something terrible had happened underground, threatening their lives.

At the same time, Lin Fan and the puppy on the ground also sensed that an astonishing aura was erupting from the pit, surging and turbulent.

"This is... the aura of immortality!" Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.

Ahead, through the pit, one could see dark light soaring into the sky, while at the same time, the radiant light of immortals bloomed, intertwining together.

"Shh!"

The puppy's eyes lit up, and it rushed over immediately to check on the situation. Lin Fan naturally followed suit.

After all, this is a celestial body, a treasure from head to toe. If it were placed in the outside world, it would be enough to cause a supreme being to fight.

However, Lin Fan was cautious. Lacking the strength of the puppy, he placed the Chaos Artifact above his head to defend against the vast fluctuations.

Upon reaching the bottom of the pit, the earthen walls were still stained with blood, and fragments of bone and flesh were scattered on the ground, emitting a strong stench.

Clearly, a few unlucky souls unearthed immortal bodies, but lacking any protective measures, they were blasted to death by the aura of the immortals.

"That is……"

The once pitch-black underground was now radiant with dazzling light, emanating from a lifelike corpse.

Auspicious light shone brightly, and celestial mists swirled, making the area, even amidst piles of bones, sacred and inviolable.

Furthermore, the immortal body was covered with a layer of armor, shimmering with dark light, which remained immortal even after countless years.

However, as you can see, it is full of cracks, not from the erosion of time, but from the impact it has suffered.

It's hard to imagine what kind of power could have shattered the immortal armor!
As Lin Fan drew closer, he opened his Heavenly Eye and, through the hazy immortal mist, saw the true form of the immortal body: its limbs were covered in scales and had sharp claws.

Unfortunately, its head was gone, severed and blown apart by the enemy, which destroyed its most important primordial spirit; otherwise, it would not have died so easily.

"What species is it?" he wondered. The only visible scales resembled those of a real dragon, but its hands and feet were covered in black fur. "It was originally a bear that evolved into a dragon and thus attained immortality," the puppy explained, also examining it closely, its saliva practically dripping from its mouth.

"Xiong Hualong!" Lin Fan was startled and his heart was filled with unease.

In fact, all things in the world can evolve into some kind of creature. For example, if a bird were to transform into a true phoenix, its strength would increase greatly.

Moreover, such things are not uncommon in the cultivation world, because some beings are indeed perfect and naturally powerful.

As for dragons, they are one of them, and the strongest type of creature.

Therefore, many creatures often choose to transform into dragons during their evolution, such as the carp leaping over the dragon gate, the snake transforming into a dragon, and the dragon transforming into a jiao.

Of course, this process is not simple. It is accompanied by life-and-death crises, and the heavens and earth will send down lightning tribulations to block the way. Only those with extraordinary talent and great fortune can succeed.

As far as Lin Fan knew, there was a demon emperor in later generations who transformed from a rabbit into a dragon.

Now, the one before us is even more extraordinary; he has become an immortal.

"The armor is yours, the immortal body is mine, and the dragon meat... I haven't tasted it for an entire era, that sizzling flavor..." The puppy's canine teeth were bared, and its bright red tongue licked its lips.

Lin Fan was stunned. This dog had dug up a celestial body just to eat it—what a waste of a precious resource!
But... he couldn't help but swallow hard; the idea seemed pretty good.

How many people in this world have ever tasted dragon meat?
"Don't even think about it. A single drop of immortal blood would burst you. It would be a waste to eat it!" the puppy said, trying to dissuade him from the idea.

Lin Fan's face instantly darkened, and he screamed. The unparalleled delicacy was right in front of him, but he couldn't eat it. The feeling was indescribably painful.

"No, even if we can't eat it now, we can save it for later. Everyone who sees it gets a share, and we'll split it equally."

"Woof, kid, you're asking for too much. The dragon meat is mine, I'll only give you a few drops of blood at most," the puppy bared its teeth.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know that there's a field around that immortal body. Without my chaotic artifact's help, you'd probably have a hard time removing your armor," Lin Fan chuckled.

The dragon's body possesses a strange power; even after countless years, it still retains a vibrant life force and remains incorruptible.

"Ten drops of Dragon Bear's heart's blood!"

"No, half an immortal body!"

"Kid, don't go too far. At most, you'll lose one hand!"

"Don't forget, its armor was also extraordinary. Although it was destroyed, it was still a celestial-level treasure, and it might be able to be repaired in the future!"

……

In the end, after some bargaining, in addition to the black gold armor, Lin Fan also received a whole dragon arm and dozens of drops of his heart's blood.

It's a bit of a shame that the immortal runes on it were scattered, and there was no inheritance of precious techniques or supernatural powers; otherwise, it would have been another great fortune.

"You should be content, kid. If you were to be baptized by immortal blood, your fortune would be boundless. Cultivating another immortal aura with that power would be no problem!" the puppy said with heartache.

Lin Fan shook his head. That was not his path. He did not want to integrate other people's blood and bones into his body. He wanted to cultivate immortal energy on his own. Otherwise, what difference would it make from planting an "immortal seed"?

Even now, when he cultivates the second immortal energy, it is the same; he must nurture it himself to achieve his invincible path!
However, this physical baptism, constantly pushing one to the limit of the Dharma in this life, is also a rare and precious opportunity.

At the same time, he put on the armor, which, despite its many cracks, remained unmoved even when struck forcefully.

It is very ancient and stronger than famous treasures from the upper realm such as the Heavenly Cicada Robe and the Immortal Feather Armor. If it were not damaged, it would surely shock the world.

"Next, I will continue my seclusion to perfect that path!"
