Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 401 - 235: Noble Family Essence, All Devoured

Chapter 401: Chapter 235: Noble Family Essence, All Devoured

"You... killed the Celestial Bird!"

Ximen Sha saw the Celestial Bird topple to the ground, his eyes widened, trembling all over.

It wasn’t like before, the exotic beasts in the world, each one killed was one less.

The Ximen Family, because of their ancestors’ protection, had painstakingly managed to rear an exotic beast, relying on its flesh and blood for cultivation, thus rising above most people in the Liang Kingdom.

Seeing their own exotic beast killed like this, he immediately felt lost, and the emotions suppressed for a long time burst out uncontrollably.

But soon, he realized his own gaffe, and quickly forced a smile toward Su Que:

"Warrior, the flesh and essence of an exotic beast contain strange energies, if consumed in large quantities at once, it can affect a person’s mind and flesh."

"We usually keep the exotic beast, feeding it with an elixir that can generate flesh and blood at regular intervals, so we can cut flesh and draw blood from it for long-term use."

"To kill it just like this, what a pity!"

Though Ximen Sha accompanied his words with a smile, his heart was filled with despair and murderous intent.

If the mysterious person before him took away their exotic beast, the Ximen Family might still rely on the Imperial Family’s help to retrieve it.

But with the exotic beast dead, the Ximen Family lost it completely, ensuring their decline in the future.

Thus, his heart was filled with infinite murderous intent, with thoughts of perishing together with this mysterious person in front of him.

But his strength was far weaker than the mysterious person, making it impossible to perish together.

Immediately, a plan formed in his heart.

He would completely abandon his dignity to gain the trust of this mysterious person, then find an opportunity to retaliate.

But just as Ximen Sha conceived this idea,

he heard a "crack."

Su Que suddenly grasped Ximen Sha’s head with his left hand and twisted.

Ximen Sha’s head turned a full circle, his eyes widened.

Yet his pupils dimmed, and he lost his life then and there.

Su Que activated the Nine Yin Corpse Claw, absorbing Ximen Sha’s Death Qi.

Immediately, a chilling white aura emerged from Ximen Sha’s corpse, rushing into Su Que’s right hand holding the corpse.

Before long, Ximen Sha’s corpse dried up.

Nine Yin Corpse Claw (7th Realm of Divine Transformation 38%)

Then, with a thought, Su Que released Myriad Poison True Qi.

Dark purple Myriad Poison True Qi surged from his right hand.

In just a moment, it enveloped Ximen Sha, whom he held.

Soon, the Myriad Poison True Qi dissipated, and his hand was empty.

After destroying the corpse, Su Que clapped his hands, and walked toward the corpse of the Celestial Bird.

What Ximen Sha said just now was actually not wrong.

The essence and flesh of exotic beasts can affect a martial artist’s mind and body.

When he had previously swallowed the essence of an Ancient Giant Dragon, he could feel a violent force shaking his mind and body.

If not for his own formidable mind and body, perhaps he would’ve been affected by that violent power.

However, now with his current mind and body, the essence of the Celestial Bird naturally couldn’t affect him at all.

Moreover, the older the exotic beast, the weaker its essence becomes.

For humans, although aging signals the end of life, through cultivation, the essence might become stronger.

But exotic beasts are different from humans, as they do not cultivate; once past their peak into old age, the essence becomes progressively weaker.

Considering this, Su Que naturally wanted to kill the exotic beast early, extract its essence, and consume it.

Su Que walked up to the body of the Celestial Bird, placed both hands on it, activated his organs and orifices with Divine Intent, forming Divine Will Power, and injected it into the body.

Since reaching the peak of the Divine Realm, Su Que realized that the essence extracted from a dead exotic beast was actually the fusion of its Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Previously unaware of this, he could only use the Gathering Yuan Needle Technique, obtained from Elder Qingxuan, to expedite the extraction of exotic beast essence.

After reaching the peak of the Divine Realm, his control over Essence, Qi, and Spirit became extremely proficient, enabling him to accelerate the extraction of exotic beast essence by injecting Divine Will Power into the beast.

As Su Que injected Divine Will Power into the body, wisps of golden essence Qi surged up from the fractured neck of the Celestial Bird.

The essence kept gathering, growing from the size of three fingers to the size of a fist.

Soon, the Celestial Bird’s feathers completely dulled, its flesh withered.

All of its essence had been extracted.

Su Que grasped the fist-sized essence in one hand.

Exerting a little force, he crushed it.

Then placed it into his mouth.

As soon as the essence fragments entered his mouth and touched his saliva, they began to melt and, along with his saliva, were swallowed into his belly.

Immediately, he felt a scorching heat in his belly, a surge of heat spreading throughout his body.

Soon, he felt his entire body burning.

His muscles, bones, and blood vessels continuously changing, with an itchy sensation.

It was clear that the essence of the Celestial Bird was nourishing his body.

He glanced at his attributes.

Remaining life: 1126

Remaining life: 1127

...

His remaining lifespan was gradually increasing.

As Su Que let the essence slowly refine within his belly, he released Myriad Poison True Qi, corroding the gigantic body of the Celestial Bird completely.

Then, activating Lightweight Skill, he dashed toward the exit of the cave.

...

Earlier, Ximen Sha’s loud yell had alarmed the members of the Ximen Family.

They gathered and headed to Ximen Sha’s residence.

But found that they couldn’t locate any trace of Ximen Sha.
