Gate of Immortality

Chapter 69: Shedding Mortal Bones

" Ahhh, So refreshing." Yang Shi swam across the pond. After killing the Mei clan without any rest, Yang Shi was both physically and mentally exhausted.

" I... Just What happened to me?" Yang Shi muttered. Now he was thinking, He acted a bit differently while killing the Mei clan people. He felt like he became a bloodthirsty beast at that moment. Then suddenly, A light panel appeared in front of him.

[ You have successfully learned White Tiger Primordial spirit's ability - War God Frenzy]

" DAMN, Just how forgetful am I?" Yang Shi facepalmed. He actually forgot that he had a third primordial spirit- Celestial White Tiger. He never tried to summon the Primordial Spirit of White Tiger as he simply forgot about it.

" So, What's the Innate ability of Celestial White Tiger? War God Frenzy - One will enter in a crazed state of slaughter, and his power will enhance by two times. But there is a problem with this. If the user became careless with this technique, He would face Qi deviation, losing his mind to killing. He would become nothing more than a killing machine." After Yang Shi learned about this, He shook his head.

This technique is immensely powerful. But Yang Shi couldn't use it during assassination missions. An assassin needs to possess a heart like Ice and a mind like Lightning. The War God Frenzy technique is very much suited for frontal combat, but not for stealth killing.

" Hmm, there is an extra thing. While I have mastered the War God Frenzy, I also learned another move of White Tiger. Its called [ Aura of Slaughter] The more people I will kill, The more aura of slaughter I will accumulate. It's like an invisible oppressive fore. But in later stages, The Aura of Slaughter can manifest physically. It can affect the mind and soul of people.

" Little Fellow, You are really the thing What I have thought. A weapon meant for slaughter. You are completely suitable for Yang Shi, But not for Evil Shadow." Yang Shi laughed as he looked at the ancient saber. The gem has almost become red like a rose. Yang Shi thought of a devious plan. He will use the nameless Longsword for Assassinations and Ancient Saber as his main weapon. Just like that, He will be completely separated from Evil Shadow, His Assassin self.

" Well, I should give you a name. Hmm. Since You bring Slaughter and Destruction, How about... Heaven Calamity? Yes, That's it. What an OP name." Yang Shi laughed as he creased Heaven Calamity.

" Hmm, Since I have some free time, I should do that." Yang Shi thought as he brought out a white pill. If any other cultivator were here, He would have frightened to death. This pill was the notorious Bone Grinding Pill.

It is a pill that cultivators should NOT eat. This pill is a poisonous pill, Which corrodes one's bones. This pill is basically a torture pill. One would feel his bones liquified, horrifying than death.

But Yang Shi laughed as he looked at this pill. With the memory of Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi could turn poison into the elixir. Yang Shi had a herb named Calm Heart Grass. Adding it with the Bone Grinding pill, Yang Shi could use it to temper his bones. Its been a while since he made any breakthrough in The Body Remolding Phase of [Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art].

" With this, I would be able to break through to the Bone Forging Realm." Yang Shi muttered. Then he gulped down the Bone Grinding Pill and stuffed a stalk of Calm Heart Grass in his mouth.

The instant his Dantian came into the contact of Bone Grinding Pill, A fierce sensation spread through his body. Yang Shi's face twisted between black and blue as he was on the verge of crying aloud. He felt like his bone was being punctured and injected with lava. At one point, he felt like he had no bones in his body. His mind, filled with extreme pain.

He was frightened for those, Who ate this pill without Calm Heart Grass. Yang Shi's physique was sturdy from the beginning, But still, he felt like hell. He felt he was dying thousands of times.

Yang Sgi gritted his teeth as he channeled Internal Energy according to the [Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art] Yang Shi was on the verge of losing his consciousness. But then, a blinding light shone from his Dantian. It was the seal given by the Samsara Emperor.

The seal erupted with golden light Like a sun is exploding. Even though Yang Shi closed his eyes, He could see a figure in the darkness. It was a skeleton. Yes, A skeleton, oozing out blinding golden light. But from looks, This isn't any skeleton of a human being.

The skeleton was so massive that it could blot the sun and pick stars of the sky. It strangely had thee holes above his nose. Perhaps this being had Three eyes from the birth. This not the only difference.

The skeleton's fingers are long and looked like claws of a beast, Rather than palms. And most noteworthy, It had bones for wings on it's back.

" Just who was this being, Before its death? A Heavenly God? or a terrifying Devil?" Yang Shi thought. Bu then, The massive skeleton began to liquify. A golden vortex appeared around it as the skeleton condensed into a ball of pure golden liquid.

As Yang Shi was looking at the scene with a gaping mouth, The ball suddenly shot at Yang Shi. Yang Shi was alarmed by the sudden change in the situation. But he couldn't do anything about it.

The ball hit Yang Shi as it slowly merged into his bone. Yang Shi felt his pain increased by Ten Times.

" ARRRRRRGH." Yang Shi howled in pain as the golden liquid clashing against his bone. It pierced into his bone and crushed it. Then the liquid slowly gathered and repaired his bone. Then it shattered again. Moreover, Yang Shi felt his body was heating up like he is sitting next to the sun itself.

Surprisingly, He saw there was a black, smoky object in his body. " Huh? Isn't it the same thing as Yin Luo's Blac Dragon Spear? What is it doing here?" Yang Shi astonished as he saw it was burning under the power of the golden skeleton.

" HOT! IT'S HOT. ARRRRRRRRGH." Yang Shi felt he would lose his consciousness, But The stark pain kept him conscious. Unknown to him, The crimson lily appeared beneath him. From far, He looked like a statue sitting on the crimson lily in the pond.

As time passed, His pain lessened bit by bit. He saw that the golden liquid has successfully entered in his bone.

" Fuck, I never expected it. This is fucking different from what the book has written. Which motherfucker made such a mistake? Yang Shi cursed in his mind. He felt like he came back from hell.

" HMM?!!!" Yang Shi opened his eyes and felt a new problem. He couldn't move even an inch. He felt like his body was set with cement. Yang Shi channeled his Internal Energy.

A crystal like cracking sound came from his bone. Yang Shi looked and saw His bone was shedding!

It was like a white paper is being peeled out of his bone. Inside it was the golden skeleton. The cracking sound became continuous, like a melody.

Now, Yang Shi couldn't feel a shred of pain. He finally stood up. He let out a roar as he punched the air.

*BOOM* A with a loud sound, The air trembled fiercely around Yang Shi. Yang Shi could feel the vitality of his bones. He truly felt the feeling of Flattening Mountain and Flipping the Sea with a raise of a hand.

He was taken aback as he saw the pond has dried completely. It looked like a land of drought, dry and cracked.

" Eh? It was done by me?" Yang Shi scratched his head.

" Congratulations. You have obtained Nine Saints Extreme Yang Physique." A voice rang in Yang Shi's head.
