188: Desperate situation...
Huang An and the other two indeed floated in the sky like Immortals, but around their necks hung a Qi root, like hanged ghosts, half-suspended in the air, unaware of their state.
Bai Sanren and Qian Xue also held the head of the Qi root in their hands, frantically inhaling the gray mist.
“What?”
Han Yi’s mind was greatly shaken. He had not expected this Old Peach Tree to be so bizarre, capable of creating such a lifelike illusion, stirring up the deepest desires in people’s hearts, causing them to sink into it, unable to extricate themselves!
“Don’t eat it!”
Han Yi roared, first snatching the Qi roots tightly clutched in Bai Sanren’s and Qian Xue’s hands.
At the same time, he swung his Xuan Tie Sword, intending to sever all these Qi roots.
But suddenly, he felt a dizzying sensation, and his eyes became hazy.
Before him, once again, was a scene of peaceful human Immortal Realm!
However, this time, the flower Fairy was even closer to him!
Large expanses of delicate, snow-white skin were exposed, exuding a captivating luster in the clear moonlight. Han Yi could even smell the beautiful woman’s body fragrance on the flower Fairy, which was particularly stimulating amidst the scent of fruit.
“Eat quickly!”
“If you don’t eat soon, we’ll be late.......”
“Eat, eat, eat......”
Huang An and the other two stood rigidly in front of Han Yi, yet strangely, they did not come to snatch it, but instead, they urged him in unison.
“Delicious, immortal peach, flower Fairy.......”
Han Yi picked up the immortal peach again, muttering to himself.
Before him was clearly a heavenly palace Immortal Realm, with peerless beauties and rare Immortal Treasures, but in his heart, there was a feeling that something was amiss.......
“Bizarre, peach tree, Tao Wu.......”
Han Yi seemed to have thought of something; his blood surged, his mouth was dry, his heart pounded wildly, and his face turned crimson.
However, despite the surging blood, it failed to warm his body. His hands and feet were cold, his head felt as if it had been frozen in an ice cellar, with only the thought of eating the immortal peach in his hand remaining!
That ethereal Immortal Realm like a heavenly paradise, that bizarre Old Peach Tree like a corpse, that beautiful flower Fairy like a goddess, that rotten dead tree like mud.......
All sorts of magnificent, bizarre, and terrifying things circulated in his mind like a revolving lantern, preventing him from thinking about anything else......
A strong sense of discomfort rapidly grew within his body—a strange, chilling sensation that slowly crept up his neck, as if a dead man’s hand was gently trailing across his back........
“Ah!”
Han Yi roared in fright, pushing away the flower Fairy in front of him and running towards the Immortal Realm shrouded in clouds and mist.
Regardless of whether he was in an illusion, if this place were real, then the Immortal Realm would surely remain an Immortal Realm!
Whoosh!
He gasped for breath, his mind filled with Chaos, utterly aimless and without a solution!
Suddenly, Han Yi’s body abruptly lost strength, his toes seemed to trip over something thick, and his entire body launched into the air, falling forward.
Bang bang bang!!
He rolled several times on the ground, as disheveled as a fleeing soldier. He ignored the pain, disregarded everything, quickly got up, and continued to run forward.
Since he was at his wit’s end, with no solutions at all, he simply gave up thinking. He just wanted to see what was outside the Immortal Realm!
However, when Han Yi stood up again and continued to run forward, he found it very strenuous, as if an old ox was pulling him, struggling against him.
He didn’t want to look back, but he furiously struck backward with both hands, only hitting air.
Looking back into the Immortal Realm, the so-called maids, musicians, and even Huang An and the others, all stood frozen in place with vacant smiles.
What’s going on?
What exactly is going on???
This cannot be the so-called Immortal Realm!!!
Han Yi roared wildly in his heart, panting, his face a pale, somewhat clear color.
Suddenly, his mind became hazy again, and his entire being felt as if his Soul Emergence, his body completely out of control, was violently pulled back by a great force.
Bang!
This time, after he landed, his forehead hit a hard object, breaking the skin directly, and blood flowed out.
This intense, sharp pain, on the contrary, allowed Han Yi to instantly see the true reality again: a thick Qi root seemed to be tightly wrapped around his waist, and his location was still in Tao Wu’s dilapidated courtyard!
And he himself, like a defeated dog, was curled up, fallen beneath the canopy of the Old Peach Tree, while all around him, countless Qi roots, like man-eating worms, hung down beside him, emitting a deathly gray mist.
He finally realized that the human Immortal Realm, the flower Fairy, and the Heaven And Earth Treasure he had just experienced were all illusions created by that bizarre Old Peach Tree!!!
However, this “Soul returning to body” brought by the intense pain was only a momentary clarity.
After a moment, Han Yi returned to the “Immortal Realm” that countless people dreamed of!
His consciousness became increasingly blurred, and his body grew lighter and lighter.......
Countless snowflake-like fragments seemed to dance in his mind, utterly chaotic.
All consciousness was rapidly disappearing.
“Add points.......”
“System, add points!!!”
Han Yi roared like a drowning man about to choke, frantically grasping at a lifeline.
At this moment, he had no other choice; the only thing he could try was adding points!
After the System’s absorption just now, his free primal energy value had reached 182 points, which was the most he had ever stored!
Soon, Yang Yuan Skill (incomplete, characteristic: rejuvenation, Minor Achievement 40/50, can be upgraded) was upgraded to Yang Yuan Skill (incomplete, characteristic: rejuvenation, Major Achievement 0/70, can be upgraded).
But even so, Han Yi only felt his body’s Qi and blood strengthen a bit, and his cultivation slightly increased, with no other sensations.......
As time passed, he felt the strange chill on his body become even more pervasive, and a cold, corpse-like aura gradually began to emerge from him. His internal Qi and blood also became somewhat stagnant.......
“Not enough, this is not enough!!!”
Han Yi’s heart was roaring frantically.
“Continue, continue, add points!!!”
Yang Yuan Skill (Major Achievement 0/70, can be upgraded) quickly transformed into Yang Yuan Skill (Transcendent 0/100, ???).......
Simultaneously, his primal energy value rapidly decreased, and Han Yi’s body surged with Qi and blood like a mighty river!
But even so, Han Yi still found that the chilling aura on his body grew stronger, his hands and feet were cold, and his limbs began to stiffen and weaken.......
He could even feel that as the chilling aura intensified, the Qi and blood that had been active due to the Breakthrough once again circulated sluggishly and stagnantly, even worse than before!
It was as if a sticky, invisible dead man’s rope was tightly wrapped around his neck, making even breathing difficult!
“No, not enough.......still not enough.......”
Han Yi’s consciousness began to dissipate. Although he didn’t know the specific condition of his body, he was ten out of ten in a dangerous state.
“Transcendent.......”
He was somewhat bewildered by the unfamiliar term that appeared on the panel for the first time, but then, he resolutely and quickly clicked on it.
Otherwise, in this desperate situation of nine deaths and one life, with little hope of survival, what else could he do?
