Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

But the fog was simply beyond the resistance of Zhu Bufan; it penetrated swiftly through his seven orifices and skin without any possibility of being blocked.

As the black fog fully entered his body, the pain ceased instantaneously, only to feel as though a weight of a thousand pounds was added to his body, and his joints were as if rusted, completely immovable.

In that instant, boundless fear and darkness overwhelmed Zhu Bufan's entire consciousness, and a sense of utter despair shrouded him completely.

Consequently, his consciousness grew increasingly blurred, as darkness slowly rose in his mind.

Had there been someone by his side, they would have clearly seen strands of black Qi surging towards Zhu Bufan's head, and in the blink of an eye, his tiny head took on the deep black of thick ink.

Zhu Bufan felt a heart-piercing pain, as if his head had been penetrated by a hammer, the sudden blow causing him to groan, his eyes wide open like two eggs, completely bloodshot.

"Boy, stop resisting! Offer your body obediently! Whatever unresolved wishes you have, I will help you fulfill them!" The voice of the Poison Demon resounded deep within Zhu Bufan's brain.

Although Zhu Bufan's consciousness was hazy now, a thought, firmly unyielding and strong-willed, persisted in his mind. He must not relent, for once he did, he would likely be doomed forever.

The Poison Demon, now, was inwardly lamenting. To him, a being as insignificant as an ant, a mere First Rank Martial Artist, possessed such a strong will. From the beginning up to this point, he had already struck more than a hundred times, each time seeming about to break through the defense yet always falling just short.

"Who would have thought that this young man's determination could be so unwavering!"

The Poison Demon clicked his tongue in wonder, but also in shock, as with each collision, a small amount of energy was consumed. After nearly a hundred such collisions, the black fog around him had dimmed.

Zhu Bufan's head was now as if hammered, each crushing blow felt like gouging out a piece of flesh from his body.

"Hold on, hold on!" Zhu Bufan clenched his teeth; his mind could not afford a sliver of any other thought.

Hiss hiss

Amidst agonizing pain, Zhu Bufan desperately writhed on the ground, his hands clawing at the soil. Sharp, jagged stones on the ground, sharp as blades, sliced through his skin, drawing lines of blood, but he felt none of it, wildly rolling on the ground.

As the dizziness and pain intensified, the remaining clarity in his mind gradually vanished.

"Am I going to die?" Suddenly, this thought emerged, and with it, a strong unwillingness rose in Zhu Bufan's heart.

Ah...

Zhu Bufan uttered his last agonized scream as resentment filled his chest.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, the Poison Demon extracted a thick column of black Qi from his body, transforming it into a long spear, and thrust it fiercely towards the dark void—that last obstinate thought of Zhu Bufan.

"Crack..."

A crisp collision sound, then the spear made of black Qi, as if hitting an unbreakable wall of stone, stopped abruptly, then fractured into several pieces, dissipating away.

With half of his black Qi drawn out, the Poison Demon's figure became even more ethereal, flickering in and out of visibility as if a breath could scatter his form.

However, at this moment he was not concerned with his own state, but stared intently at that dark space.

Hiss hiss

Suddenly, a look of wild joy appeared on the Poison Demon's face, as shiny cracks spread within the dark space he was watching, rapidly expanding and quickly covering the entire dark area.

At the same time, Zhu Bufan's body jerked as if struck by electricity, a tremor running through him as blood spewed from his seven orifices, and the last bastion of his belief crumbled in that instant.

The sudden emergence of a bright space was due to a glowing orb that floated within. The orb was small and displayed a faint water-blue color, resembling a mini sun that illuminated the entire space.

Poison Demon knew that this was the youth's core consciousness. Devouring it would allow him to take complete control of this body and be reborn.

With a cry of triumph, Poison Demon let out several manic laughs as he pounced towards the blue light.

"Ha ha, I shall not die!" As he lunged forward, Poison Demon couldn't help but roar wildly.

At the same time, a thin wisp of black qi shot out from his fingertips, like a rope twisting towards the blue orb.

The black thread quickly approached the blue orb. As if sensing impending danger, the blue orb quivered with fear, its light flickering unsteadily, now bright, now dim.

"Heh heh!"

Seeing the orb clearly display fear, Poison Demon couldn't help but let out a smug chuckle. The black qi didn't hesitate and was about to wrap around when suddenly, a dazzlingly brilliant burst of blue light erupted.

A warm Blue Pearl the size of a fingertip had appeared above the orb at some point, shedding delicate Blue Light, completely enveloping the orb to protect it securely.

"What is this!"

Under the illumination of the Blue Light, the black thread evaporated cleanly as if scorched by high heat.

The black qi was connected to Poison Demon's bloodline. Being destroyed so abruptly, he was jolted as if electrified, howling sharply with chaos in his dark radiance.

However, before he could make any move, the Blue Pearl released an incredibly strong suction force. The target of this force was the ephemeral black shadow of the Poison Demon.

"Ahh~~"

In front of this formidable suction, Poison Demon's resistance was utterly insignificant; without any obstruction, he was sucked into the Blue Pearl.

Though the Poison Demon disappeared within the pearl, the Blue Pearl showed no change. It continued to shower soft Blue Light, as if to comfort the agitated pale blue orb.

After a while, the Blue Pearl began trembling faintly, emitting translucent ripples in all directions, which spread out like water ripple.

Entangled within the ripple-like patterns were streaks of sparkling light, which fell upon the blue orb and were immediately absorbed. After ingesting the light, the orb seemed livelier and started to chase the dazzling light, voraciously devouring it. It was both like a mischievous child pursuing a favored toy and a starving man chasing food.

Regardless, after dozens of lights were consumed, although its size didn't appear to increase, it did seem a lot more radiant than before.

As the blue orb continued to chase after the pearl's glowing light, the pearl began to undergo a drastic transformation.

"Whoosh whoosh"

From a standstill, it started shaking wildly, the speed was so fast that it left behind a trail of afterimages. Then came an intensification of light, the once warm orb now completely enveloped in strong light.

Noticing this sudden change, the blue orb felt a clear sense of dread and promptly stayed far away.

Whoosh!!

It was as if one could hear a howl, and the entire space darkened for a moment, but the pearl had vanished without a trace, leaving behind the blue orb leisurely floating.

Zhu Bufan was still in a deep slumber, and yet, the disappeared Blue Pearl had somehow already reappeared about a meter above his body.
