Terra Martial God and Merit System

If she didn't know what Luo Chen had done, she would even think that she had entered the dream of some perverted murderer.

"Huh? Who is this? So bold?" A voice came to his ear. Ling Yi turned his head and saw a strange black snake appearing in the sky.

"Little girl, you are really skilled and courageous."

Ling was expressionless, she knew that everything in the dream was virtual. However, since this thing could materialize and had the ability to speak, it meant that it occupied an important position in Luo Chen's memory.

The black snake smiled grimly, "Since you are here, then turn into my nourishment!"

"The tender skin and meat must be delicious!"

After saying that, the huge body swept down in an instant and pounced towards Ling.

"Danger!" Even though it was a dream, Ling could instantly feel the breath of danger.

It was clear that this was just the consciousness in Luo Chen's dream, but she had a feeling that she would die if she was caught.

"Retreat!" Ling leaped up and retreated a thousand miles.

"There is such a terrifying existence in Luo Chen's consciousness... What on earth is it... Is this the source of my fear?"

"If this is the source...how can Luo Chen behave so normally?"

Things in dreams are the embodiment of reality. In Luo Chen's dream, there was such a tyrannical and terrifying existence. In reality, they could still communicate normally... This made him feel very incredible.

"Evil beast!" Just as she was thinking, a violent roar rang out.

The wind and clouds in the sky changed suddenly, and then a giant hand condensed and fell from the sky, instantly pinning down the arrogant giant snake.

"Damn it!" The giant snake struggled, but could not break free from the giant snake's restraints at all. Then the giant hand exerted force and easily crushed this horrible existence.

"What...is this?" Ling was stunned. After the giant hand disappeared, a figure emerged.

He was wearing long pants and a weird combination of a vest and a cape on top, and his whole body was full of solid muscles.

And his face is exactly the same as Luo Chen's.

"Is this the consciousness of Luo Chen in the dream?" Ling's mind moved, and he thought, "If it weren't for this suppressing the black snake, Luo Chen might have been controlled long ago."

"It's just that the strength of these two... has completely surpassed that of normal people, and is even comparable to some behemoths."

"I understand Luo Chen's current situation..."

"Humph, where did you come from?!" Luo Chen's consciousness in his dream noticed Ling hiding on the side, and he sneered and cursed. "You are hiding, you must have bad intentions."

"Fuck you! I'll blow you to pieces!"

"Wait..." Before Ling could explain, the other party punched him.

"Ugh--Ah!!!" Ling had no power to resist at all and was killed by a single punch. His dream was abruptly interrupted.

"Hmm..." She took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and now returned to reality.

"Are you okay?" Zhongyue asked worriedly. He could sense Ling's uneasy mind.

At this moment Luo Chen also opened his eyes, "But what did you find?"

"Ah..." Ling covered her head and took a long time to recover. She looked up at Luo Chen, "Is your ability to devour evil spirits related to the soul?"

"That's right." Luo Chen answered frankly, "Does this have anything to do with my illness?"

"You strengthen your soul by devouring evil spirits..." Ling began to sort out the current situation, "Now the strength of your soul has surpassed all the existences I know..."

"If you continue to use that ability to devour demons... you will die quickly."

"Why?" Luo Chen asked curiously.

"Two reasons." Ling raised his hand. "One is because of a special existence in your mind... Although you can still suppress it now, if you can't suppress it, you will be controlled. Compared with your original consciousness, the growth it has gained from devouring the evil demon is obviously more significant."

"The second is because of the relationship between the soul and the body."

"Your soul... is too strong. So strong that your body can no longer support it."

Ling took a deep breath and said, "The body has its limits, and you are almost reaching them now."

"If you continue to devour, your soul will exceed the capacity of your body."

"This situation....my brother is familiar with it."

Zhongyue nodded and took out his sword.

"My current body is a mortal body. The reason I was able to successfully seal my consciousness in this body is because I sealed the beast's true form in this sword."

"The spirit and the flesh are originally balanced. It is because I deprived the beast of its body that its soul became weaker. Otherwise, a mortal body would be completely unable to withstand the beast's consciousness."

"Now, your problem is that the strength of your soul exceeds the upper limit of your body. Your body...can't hold on any longer."

"It seems fine now, but if you use that ability again..."

"Ling is right. You will die sooner or later."

“So that’s how it is…” Luo Chen pondered for a moment.

I overused the power of [Devil's Seed] and didn't expect this would be the result.

I have received a lot of Demon Seeds recently, but the strengthening effect on my body has become weaker and weaker. The reason is that my body has its limits.

If you want to break through the limit, you can only obtain the cultivation method of the "divine energy" in the high-level martial arts world to continue to advance the strengthening of the body.

And now...Luo Chen can't get it.

Just as Ling said, if he used this ability again, his soul would become stronger and stronger, and his two legs that were originally about the same length would become one short and one long. The consequence would not be as simple as falling.

Lu Bu rides a dog, what happens to the dog?

Chapter 365: Death is Death

Luo Chen opened his hands.

The Qi and blood in his body were so powerful and surging that not only did it make his body extremely strong, but it also made his physique different from that of an ordinary person.

A drop of Luo Chen's blood may have the same effect as ginseng.

The current concentration of Qi and blood has been compressed to an exaggerated level and has indeed reached its limit.

If one wants to go further, one has to obtain the skills from the advanced martial arts world and transform the Qi and blood into a higher form of energy.

But...Luo Chen doesn't have it.

If Lu Bu rides on a dog, the dog will definitely be crushed to death in the end.

Luo Chen's soul continued to grow stronger, but his body could no longer support him... There was only one outcome for him - death.

Luo Chen opened the page and took a glance.

"Now my life span is only 400 years... I have killed so many evil demons, so it should have increased to 500 years. Is this the reason?"

The lifespan displayed on the page is only the lifespan of your current physical body.

It is conceivable that if he continued to use the power of the evil demon seed to devour, his life span would most likely decrease instead of increase.

"Lord Luochen." Zhongyue broke the silence, "You killed all the demons for the people, but your body was also riddled with holes."

"Originally I wanted to give you the sword that sealed my monster body..."

"After all, I wanted to resign a long time ago and cut off ties with my past. So I decided to give this sword to someone who can defeat me."

"But I'm also afraid that for some reason this fragment will bring disaster to the world."

"But now..."

"Giving this sword to you may make 'Sui' disappear completely, but I'm afraid it will hasten your death..."

"therefore--"

"You overlooked one thing." Luo Chen interrupted him, "This thing can make me stronger."

"If you become stronger, you will be able to better deal with evil spirits or other threats in this world."

"Death... is not the end for me."

"Your Excellency..." Zhongyue and Ling were both shocked.

They are fragments of great beasts, with infinite lifespans.

However, I have also seen many mortals’ separation of life and death, and the good and bad things they did when their lifespans were coming to an end.

But... people who can face their own death calmly, and even actively accelerate the process...

Even they had to respect Luo Chen.

"Death is not a threat to Luo Chen..." Ling chewed over this sentence slowly.

'Does this mean that even though he's dead... his spirit lives on? As long as someone remembers him, his death is not in vain?'

"Your Excellency is very righteous." Zhongyue said with a serious face, "I thank you on behalf of the soldiers stationed at the border."

"On the path of martial arts, you can see yourself, the world, and all living things." Luo Chen smiled gently, "I just followed my heart. I did what I wanted to do. In fact... maybe I am a selfish person."

"Too modest." Zhongyue shook his head, "Then I won't say any more."

"I'll give this sword to you." He raised his hand and pushed his sword to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen instantly sensed the desire to devour. He nodded slightly and took the sword.

"Then please have a good rest." Zhongyue stood up, "I will ensure peace tonight."

His words had a hidden meaning, and everyone knew what it meant.

"Thank you very much." Luo Chen nodded.

Although I seem to be in good condition, after killing for so long, I can't help feeling a little tired inside.

It's a good time to take a good rest during this break.

Luo Chen went back to his room to rest, and only Ling and Zhongyue were left in the living room, but no one spoke.

"I..." Ling felt that he was full of poetic inspiration, but his emotions were extremely complicated. He wanted to write a poem, but he didn't know where to start.

"Luo Chen has a pure heart, he is truly a hero." Zhong Yue said with emotion, "I'm afraid that such a person... may not appear once in a thousand years."

“I didn’t expect to meet someone like me…”

“It’s just…” Thinking of Luo Chen’s impending death, Zhong Yue couldn’t help but feel mixed emotions.

“It’s sad, lamentable, and respectable!”

"I'm going to see the Grand Tutor." Zhongyue stood up.

"Leave him alone tonight?"

Even a normal person could guess that the Grand Tutor had just gone out with Zuo Xuanliao to discuss how to deal with Luo Chen.

It would be fine if Luo Chen really was someone who was extremely dangerous to Yumen and intended to destroy it.

but....

Isn't it for the innocent people in the rear that Chongyue has been guarding the border for so long?

Although Luo Chen is not a Yan countryman, he is devoted to the common people. If the Grand Tutor wants to deal with Luo Chen... Zhongyue will not agree and will never allow it.

"Do you want to come with me?" Zhongyue asked suddenly.

Ling was stunned at first, then smiled - "Free and easy, all I want is to feel happy in my heart."

"Big brother, go and convince the Grand Master. If he doesn't agree... I will also take action."

"I don't want things to develop to that point." Zhongyue sighed slightly, "Let's go first."

------------

"Luo Chen's sudden appearance in Yumen is a crisis as well as an opportunity." The Grand Tutor was talking to Zuo Xuanliao.

"If we can use this opportunity to kill Luo Chen... it will be a huge blow to the Terra Union."

The Grand Tutor did not forget why he came to Yumen.

Isn't it because the threat from the Western Terra Union has intensified?

If we can get rid of Luo Chen now... then there is no need to mobilize Yumen's army at all, and the Terra Union will suffer a huge blow.

But...Taifu also knew that this matter had to be kept secret.

Luo Chen’s death must not be spread out, otherwise Yan Country will definitely suffer reckless revenge from the Terra Union.

It's best to die quietly.
