Chapter 359 Mortal Experience

During the great battle with the Black Rain Clan, Fang Yue hadn't paid attention to Ming's whereabouts when Niu Zuo died in battle. He had always assumed she had perished in the chaos. He never expected her to still be alive.

For an ordinary person to survive until now, Fang Yue felt even more that she was extraordinary.

Captain Wu and the others were on alert, but Fang Yue waved his hand, telling them to relax, and then asked.

"Ming, who exactly are you, and what does 'everyone becoming immortal' mean? How much do you know about the Ink Immortal Formation?"

Ming didn't speak, but slowly brought her hand closer to the blood infant's forehead, which had calmed down due to her soothing. As she gently pressed her palm, it plunged into the infant's head with a *plop*, as if breaking the surface of water.

This scene from the underworld made everyone feel uncomfortable, but the blood infant seemed to feel nothing, still fast asleep. As Ming stirred her hand around, as if playing with water in a lake, the entire blood infant swelled and deformed with the movement of her hand, transforming with a *whoosh* into a mass of blood, which adhered to Ming's arm!

As if absorbing something, Ming's arm rapidly shrunk, quickly becoming as thin as firewood, even revealing white bones as if corroded.

But the blood was not satisfied, and it began to climb up Ming's body along her arm.

*Buzz!*

A sword flashed, and Ming actually chopped off her left hand. Fresh blood spurted from the severed arm, but she didn't change expression, letting the blood fall to the ground, where it transformed back into a crying infant.

"Just as I thought, these infants are both human and ghoul, a human-ghoul hybrid. What kind of monster they will become when they reach their limit is truly something to look forward to! It's a pity my time is short, but even so, to see such a creation during my mortal experience, this trip has not been in vain."

Mortal experience?

Fang Yue looked completely bewildered, and the people around him were equally confused. Even the Black Rain Clan king in the sky frowned slightly, seemingly not understanding the meaning.

But Ming didn't seem to care, and with a change of expression, she raised her head and lowered her eyes, looking down at Fang Yue and the others with a condescending gaze.

"As for what a mortal experience is, if you can become immortal one day, you will naturally know, if you have the aptitude."

As she spoke, the one-armed Ming slowly raised her head, looking at the night moon high in the sky.

As if in response to her gaze.

*Crack!*

A crack appeared in the blood moon in the sky.

The moon was about to split, and along with the splitting of the blood moon came... the night sky!

That crack not only tore apart the blood moon, but also tore apart a portion of the night sky around the blood moon.

"The Heavenly Devour is about to begin, and the end of my mortal experience is here."

Ming had a slight smile on her lips, as if mocking the masses of beings, or perhaps mocking some high and mighty existences in the sky.

*Crack!*

The second crack spread across the blood moon, enlarging the previous crack in the night sky.

The sight of the night sky cracking was like a seal about to be broken, and a feeling of oppressive darkness weighed down like Mount Tai, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

At the same time, Fang Yue noticed that the aura on Ming's body began to rise.

Houtian, Xiantian, Human-level, Cloud-level, Rain-level... Immortal-level!

The terrifying aura that once only emanated from Fairy Mei Yu was now spreading from Ming's body, and even... the aura was even more intense!

Her severed arm regenerated, her temperament changed, and the surrounding blood infants all seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, frightened into stopping their cries, using their little hands and feet to roll away from Ming's vicinity.

The originally noisy crying was greatly reduced, giving people's eardrums a brief respite.

And the Ming in front of him gradually ascended into the air, her eyes gradually changing from ordinary black to golden, a mere change in color, yet giving people a cold, unapproachable feeling, like a lofty flower, indifferent as frost, looking down on all things in the world.

*Thump!*

As Fang Yue was still in shock, someone suddenly knelt heavily behind him.

"Please, Fairy, save my Qing Country from fire and water, slay demons and eliminate evil, and destroy the strange beings in the sky!"

Fang Yue looked back, not recognizing this person, but they were one of the people he had saved in the palace.

However, this person was quick-witted. After discovering Ming's extraordinary performance, they immediately requested assistance.

With the current situation in the palace, adding another Immortal-level combatant to their side would fundamentally change the situation.

Seeing the situation below, the Black Rain Clan king, who was confronting the four elders, immediately tensed up, repeatedly looking up to the higher reaches, as if hoping that Blackgreen Ghoul could come down to assist him.

The situation had exceeded expectations. Qingdu was hiding two Immortal-level figures. This was something he had never heard of before.

However, as the Black Rain Clan king carefully observed Ming, he gradually sensed something was wrong.

Because he realized that Ming was clearly right in front of him, but when he tried to sense her, it was as if she didn't exist. Yet the boundless Immortal power didn't seem to be fake, both real and unreal, like a dream, making it impossible to figure out.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Blackgreen Ghoul's voice transmission in his ear.

"That woman is not to be feared."

Not to be feared?

What nonsense are you talking about! That's an immortal, and even one with unfathomable strength. At least, the Black Rain Clan king was not confident in defeating her. How could she not be feared?

But no matter how the Black Rain Clan king called out to Blackgreen Ghoul in his heart, he received no response. It seemed that the battle above had reached a critical moment, and Blackgreen Ghoul couldn't spare the time to take care of his side.

The Black Rain Clan king thought that no matter what Blackgreen Ghoul said, if that woman really helped Qing Country, things would become troublesome for him.

Seeing that several more mortals below were kneeling down, wanting to ask the fairy for help, the Black Rain Clan king's heart was filled with killing intent.

Just as he was about to break free and kill the mortals who were asking for help, the Black Rain Clan king suddenly froze.

Because...

*Boom!*

A golden flame suddenly ignited from the bodies of the kneeling people who had asked for help earlier.

The golden fire extinguished, and those who sought help from Ming disappeared completely from the world, not even leaving behind bones.

"I am a mortal experiencer, I am a bystander immortal.

I am the path of immortality, I am for myself!

I do not touch karma, I do not enter reincarnation, everything in the world paves the way for my smooth journey.

And this mere Qingchuan Realm is not worth my出手 (chū shǒu - lifting a finger), but whoever dares to disturb me again, die!"

Ming's voice was ethereal and illusory, becoming increasingly unreal as the cracks in the sky gradually increased. Only the shocking golden flame made people dare not act rashly.

At this moment, Fang Yue, who had been frowning and thinking since the beginning, suddenly spoke.

"You are an avatar, aren't you?"

It was Fang Yue who spoke.

As Ming regained her Immortal power, Fang Yue clearly felt that the feeling Ming gave him was very similar to the feeling Fairy Mei Yu had given him in the game.

Ming, who was ascending into the air, coldly glared and stopped in mid-air, looking down at Fang Yue, golden flames floating around Fang Yue.

"Captain Ye!"

Captain Wu's expression changed, and he quickly stood in front of Fang Yue.

The people around him were even more frightened, their faces changing as they scrambled to escape from Fang Yue's side.

Only Fang Yue himself looked calmly at Ming in the sky, saying something that seemed to make no sense.

"I am a Rain-level martial artist."
