The Eternal World

Zhang Chao really didn't know whether this《 Treadmill》 was reliable or not.

However, when he thought about the old beggar that appeared in the Can City, he felt that there should be more or less.

However, he had never tried it before. After all, he did not dare to use such an unknown method carelessly.

Moreover, after he had meditated at the Red Sea Town, he had forgotten about "Treadmill". It was no wonder that he had many trump cards at that time, and did not even have the time to pay attention to this unknown effect.

But in the current situation, all of his methods had been completely restrained by the other party. Thinking back and forth, perhaps this《 Treadmill》 was the only thing that could turn the tide and bring about unexpected surprises.

"What song?" When Mr. Ouyang heard Zhang Chao's words, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. "You still want to sing in such a situation?"

"What is it? "Can't I?" Zhang Chao shrugged his shoulders.

"Haha, that's fine. If you're interested, you can sing a song and send yourself to death!" Mr. Ouyang waved his hand dismissively.

What he was afraid of before, was Zhang Chao's endless amounts of treasures. After all, Zhang Chao was a Tri-Cauldron Forger.

However, he was able to unleash the Heaven-grade treasure, the 'No Treasures Crystal', and was able to suppress all of the magic treasures around him. Naturally, he would be able to rest in peace.

"Alright, then thank you for giving me this chance!" Zhang Chao took a deep breath and slowly started to recite: "One step into the Ninth Heaven, Cloud Thunder Movement Technique …"

As he spoke, he took a light step forward.

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, his entire body suddenly trembled.

In that instant, he felt as if something had been sucked out of his body.

What was that?

He looked at his hands in surprise and did not find anything wrong with them!

But then, he understood.

What he had lost was his own life!

Although his appearance did not change, he was sure that at the same time he recited "Treadmill", his lifespan of at least a hundred years had disappeared!

A hundred years!

It must be understood that upon becoming a cultivator, one's lifespan would increase.

For example, if an ordinary person could live to the age of eighty, then after he became a cultivator, he would be able to increase his lifespan by ten years. In the future, he would be able to increase his lifespan by one year.

In other words, the entire Natal Opening Realm was capable of increasing a cultivator's lifespan by twenty years, extending the lifespan that should have ended at the age of eighty to a hundred.

Upon reaching the Energy Accumulation Realm, one's lifespan would once again increase by twenty years. In the future, each increase in level would correspondingly increase one's lifespan by two years.

Even if Zhang Chao was seventeen now, if his fixed lifespan was eighty years, after reaching the fifth level of the Energy Accumulation Realm, his lifespan would only increase to one hundred and thirty years!

With this, he had taken away his lifespan of a hundred years. At most, he only had thirteen years left!

Although his appearance hadn't changed, he immediately felt that his muscles, bones, and internal organs had all aged in a blink of an eye.

Thus, after reading the first sentence, he decisively shut his mouth.

If he recited it once more, he had no doubt that he would die here on the spot!

"Hmm?" After hearing what Zhang Chao had said, Mr. Ouyang waited for a long time, but still did not say anything. "That's all?"

"Ugh …" That's right, with just that one sentence, I won't dare to sing the rest! " Zhang Chao nodded in embarrassment.

"You don't dare to sing anymore? "What does that mean?" Mr. Ouyang was somewhat puzzled.

"It's hard to explain, but..." Zhang Chao looked around, his face was full of confusion: "Nothing happened either!"

Could it be that his hundred years of longevity had been scammed?

Thinking of this, his heart tightened.

However, what he did not know was that after the words "Treadmill" came out, those War God Academy s guarding the outside of the Ten Thousand Worms Abyss had already fallen into disorder.

A huge crack suddenly appeared in the previously calm sky. Within the crack, countless dark clouds rolled forward, and lightning began to flash within the dark sky like a spider web, constantly surging forth.

The lightning was scarlet in color, and it looked extremely abnormal. It was as if it didn't come from the human world, but rather emerged from the depths of hell.

It was completely different from the lightning created by the Lightning Emperor Seal from before!

The lightning that the Thunder Emperor's Seal brought forth was extremely pure. It contained the might of the heavens, and appeared to be filled with righteous energy.

The thunder at this moment was incomparably sinister, as if it was brewing out of blood, full of the aura of death.

However, aside from the thunder, a strong wind suddenly blew.

"Not good, this is a ethereal astral wind, why is there such a wind here?" Yuan Zongyi first raised his head to look at the abnormal sign in the sky, but when he felt the strong wind blow at him, he cried out in alarm.

It was said that after breaking through the clouds in the sky, it would be the starry sky.

There was no air, no life in the starry sky. There was nothing living there that could survive. There was only nothingness, a place of extreme coldness that was called the void of death.

This ethereal astral wind, was an evil wind that suddenly appeared in this void!

"What?" Why would this kind of wind come here? " When the other students heard this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air and turned pale with fright.

They did not dare to slight the ethereal astral wind, as it was said that it was extremely powerful, capable of scraping away one's flesh and life, and could even turn everything into dust!

The dozen or so Elite Student s immediately released their spirit force, enveloping themselves within, wanting to resist the astral winds.

But soon after, they became even more puzzled.

These ethereal astral wind did not come for them. After howling in the air for a while, they all drilled into the Thousand Worms Abyss!

Following the appearance of the ethereal astral wind, the energy whirlpool that was revolving within the Ten Thousand Worms Abyss was instantly torn apart. There was simply nothing that could stop the invasion of this wind.

"He went down?" Yuan Zongyi opened his eyes wide, what exactly was going on?

"Speaking of which, eldest senior brother, the disciples of the side palace have been gone for quite some time. Why haven't they made the slightest move yet?" a student suddenly asked.

"I don't know, but the sudden appearance of this ethereal astral wind makes me feel uneasy. Damn it, we have wasted all our cultivation, and we are only able to stay here, unable to be of use. It makes my heart burn with anxiety!" Yuan Zongyi clenched his fists, he was extremely anxious.

Not long after, the red lightning brewing in the sky began to descend one after another. Each and every one of them was as thick as a bowl, and they all shot into the Ten Thousand Worms Abyss!

"First it's the ethereal astral wind, and then it's this strange lightning. What's going on down there?" All the elite disciples looked at each other, at a loss of what to do.

At the same time, below the Ten Thousand Worms Abyss, the first layer of the earth began to shake violently. Many poisonous bugs began to flee in all directions out of instinct, not knowing what was happening.

A ball of ethereal astral wind landed on the ground and forcibly swept through an area of half a kilometer. All the rocks and poisonous bugs were shattered in an instant.

The red lightning descended with it and crashed into the ground, penetrating through it!

In the second level, the ground began to tremble.

"Hmm? What's wrong? What happened? " Mr. Ouyang's feet were unsteady. Feeling the ground shake, he quickly stabilized his body.

"This is …" Zhang Chao also opened his eyes wide, and immediately looked up.

Thousands of feet above him, the ground at the bottom of the first layer of the Thousand Worms Abyss suddenly shattered. A strange whirlwind whirled and brought down a few streaks of scarlet lightning!

"What is that?" Red lightning? And... ethereal astral wind? Why would such a thing appear? " Mr. Ouyang's eyes almost popped out of his head as his mouth opened wide in shock.

"They're coming this way!"

"This is bad!" Mr. Ouyang wanted to escape, but it was already too late.

The speed of the wind and lightning was too fast. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of Zhang Chao and Mr. Ouyang.

Then, the red lightning started to wreak havoc. As Mr. Ouyang's flesh and blood were swept away by the ethereal astral wind, the lightning instantly invaded his bones and began to wreak havoc from the inside.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "No, no!" Mr. Ouyang shouted hysterically, but no matter how much he struggled, it was of no avail.

Zhang Chao, who had also been involved in the attack, did not expect that he would be involved in this attack as he resisted with all his might.

Luckily his flesh was like iron, the ethereal astral wind was not able to roll his flesh off, and could only continuously beat at the skin all over his body.

"Is this the power of the song you just said? What exactly is this!? " Mr Ouyang had already become a bloody skeleton, but his tenacious vitality had yet to completely kill him.

"《 Treadmill》!" Zhang Chao was enduring the astral winds to temper his body. Seeing Mr. Ouyang's afterimage, he could not bear to laugh.

"Bastard, but if I die, you won't be able to do anything about it. You will also be dragged into this mess. Let's go to the underworld and fight again!" The elemental energy within Mr. Ouyang's body began to dissipate. His dantian shattered, and his bones began to crack inch by inch.

"Is that so?" Zhang Chao's strength started to crumble, and the resistance of his body to the astral winds became weaker and weaker. Following the descent of the red lightning, blood flowed out of his mouth and nose, and his entire body released a series of loud sounds.

Upon seeing this, the War God Academy teachers and students all broke out in a cold sweat. However, they were still trapped by the earthworms, unable to reach out to help.

Fortunately, Zhang Chao had the Lightning Emperor Seal's body tempering ability, so he could temporarily endure this red lightning's rampage. However, he knew that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

"No, my stamina …" It's the end! " His skin was already starting to split open, and blood flowed all over his body.

Layer after layer of his flesh and blood, as if forced by the ethereal astral wind to move swiftly, and with the help of the red lightning, he continuously took away the last of his life force.

"In that case, I will go all out!" He suddenly raised his head, and his gaze fell on the Heaven-grade Dharma treasure's Everlasting Crystal that was floating in mid air, swaying back and forth between Lightning and the ethereal astral wind.

Biting down on his silver teeth, he used all his remaining strength to leap up and bite down on the crystal!

"Crack!" He had bitten off more than half of the crystal ball, but the remaining half had instantly dimmed down and was falling towards the ground …
