47: Mysterious huge ancient bronze coffin!
You looked at the black mist shrouding the area before you, knowing that once you passed through it, you would reach the Barren Deathland.
Chu Wudi saw your figure disappear into the black mist, gritted his teeth, and ultimately gave up on entering the Barren Deathland.
No one knew how long this Barren Deathland had existed in the Canglan Realm; there were even rumors that it was born earlier than the Canglan Realm itself.
From ancient times until now, whether it was people or Demonic Insects who entered, not a single one had ever come out alive.
Seeing the tai xu sword fragment that was almost within his grasp fly away like that, Chu Wudi roared to the heavens in anger.
Still unwilling to give up, Chu Wudi hardened his heart and flew directly into the black mist, betting that you wouldn't truly enter the Barren Deathland, but rather hide within the mist.
You didn't know how long you flew in the black mist until you felt your cultivation being suppressed, from the Late Stage Soul Transformation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection.
At this moment, you opened your eyes and found that the black mist before you had vanished, and you had entered the interior of the Barren Deathland.
What appeared before you was a dead mountain, the soil beneath your feet as black as ink, and a deathly Qi drifted across the ground.
Just then, Chu Wudi's terrified voice came from behind you.
“My cultivation! Where is my cultivation?”
After passing through the black mist, Chu Wudi looked at his body in horror, then angrily rebuked you.
“You ant, do you think you can defeat me in the same Realm?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Wudi mobilized all his Spiritual Qi, preparing to use a Divine Ability.
Seeing this, just as you were about to take out the Great Void Sword to counterattack, you noticed a strange sight.
Chu Wudi, who had just had a full head of black hair, in just a moment, a tenth of his hair had turned white.
Chu Wudi, not far away, also noticed his own abnormality, quickly gave up on attacking, left a remark, and flew towards the black mist with a panicked look in his eyes.
“You ant, I’ll wait for you outside. If you have the guts, don’t come out.”
Chu Wudi temporarily abandoned the idea of killing you and instead turned to flee this deathland directly.
Seeing this scene, your brows furrowed tightly; by the last moment Chu Wudi was in your sight, all his hair had turned white.
So you tried to mobilize Spiritual Qi to cast the Great Void Art, but as soon as you started to mobilize Spiritual Qi, you felt your Lifespan rapidly draining away.
A strand of the black hair on your head also turned white.
You inwardly lamented that it was fortunate you had Cultivated the Azure Emperor Longevity Art, as your Lifespan was more than ten times that of an ordinary Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator.
Even so, at the current rate of Lifespan loss in the Barren Deathland, you wouldn't be able to last much longer.
The only way to temporarily slow it down was not to use Spiritual Qi.
But then another problem arose: if you didn't use Spiritual Qi, you couldn't fly out of the black mist at all.
Just flying a short distance, you saw all of Chu Wudi's hair turn white, and almost all his Lifespan was gone.
Now you were trapped in a dead end.
If you turned back, you might run out of Lifespan and die halfway; if you went forward, you didn't know what other dangers lay within this Barren Deathland.
After weighing the pros and cons, you decided to delve deeper into the Barren Deathland.
You finally understood why, for so many years, almost no one had ever come out of the Barren Deathland alive.
Even if Chu Wudi had just set foot in it, with the rules and restrictions here, it would be difficult for him to leave alive.
Since death was inevitable either way, you felt it was better to go in and try your luck.
You began to head towards the dead mountain not far away.
In this Barren Deathland, you had no concept of time; there was no day, no night, only eternal gloom.
You walked in the Barren Deathland for a full ten years, finally reaching the dead mountain you had seen.
However, you didn't realize that ten years had passed in the Barren Deathland; you felt as if only a few months had gone by.
Looking at the dead mountain before you, you stepped into it without hesitation, yet you completely failed to notice that more of your hair was beginning to turn from black to white.
Another ten years passed. Although you couldn't use Spiritual Qi in the Barren Deathland, this allowed you to sustain yourself without food for a long time.
After walking the mountain path for ten years, you hadn't even reached the halfway point.
But you discovered that behind this dead mountain were more dead mountains of varying sizes, forming a mountain range.
It was your fiftieth year since entering the Barren Deathland.
By now, your face was old and haggard, your beard unkempt, and your once black hair had turned completely white.
However, you hadn't noticed any of this; your eyes were clouded, and there was only one belief in your mind.
That was to keep going, to find a way to leave the Barren Deathland.
As for what you were looking for, or what the method was, you had no idea; you were just walking aimlessly, like a living corpse.
You walked for another fifty years, marking your hundredth year since entering the Barren Deathland.
By this time, you had forgotten who you were and what you were searching for; having inhaled a large amount of Death Qi, you had completely become a walking corpse.
On this day, you walked to a huge ancient bronze coffin, staring at it with lifeless eyes.
Just then, a ripple emanated from within the ancient bronze coffin, and your eyes instantly regained their clarity.
You looked at the scene before you in shock, your eyes filled with disbelief.
You didn't know how you had gotten here; you remembered being chased by Chu Wudi and forced to flee into the Barren Deathland.
Then, in order to escape, you kept delving deeper into the deathland, and after that, you remembered nothing.
When you turned to prepare to flee the area, you found that your body no longer obeyed your commands.
You looked down at your shriveled hands, the skin on your arms wrinkled beyond recognition.
This was nothing like a young person's appearance; instead, it was the look of someone whose oil was running out and was about to die.
Seeing such a pair of hands, you had a bad premonition and quickly took out an ancient mirror.
In the mirror, your eyes were hollow, your eye sockets sunken, and your face was pale.
Your once jet-black hair had turned completely white.
“How could this be? Don’t I have the Azure Emperor Longevity Art?”
“How long have I been in the Barren Deathland? Why is my Lifespan almost completely gone?”
Bang!
Another loud sound came from the ancient bronze coffin before you.
The next second, your vision went black, and you completely lost all signs of life.
You died!
