BXBX NOVEL Chapter 379 - 216: Four Guests 2
[However, at this moment, the Life Wheel Scripture within your body uncontrollably operates, and the force trying to extract your Qi Luck in the dark is blocked.]
Life Wheel Scripture! The Life Wheel Scripture is resisting the power of the temple!”
Seeing the information of foreknowledge, Su Nan was startled and then overjoyed.
Only then did he realize that his Life Wheel Scripture could govern fate.
“I just don’t know if the power of the Life Wheel Scripture can completely block the power of the temple?”
Expectation appeared in Su Nan’s eyes.
The ceremony had just begun, and the extraction of Qi Luck was far from over.
It was uncertain whether the Life Wheel Scripture could block all the power of the temple, and it was temporarily unknown whether the ceremony would change again if his Qi Luck was not extracted.
[The ceremony continues, as the male child hosting shouts, your body bows uncontrollably once again, this time the power within the temple wants to extract both your lifespan and Qi Luck.]
[Your lifespan decreases, the Life Wheel Scripture swiftly operates, and the force trying to extract your Qi Luck is blocked once more, failing to successfully take your Qi Luck.]
[Three minutes later, the three bows and nine prostrations are complete, and by this time, you have aged a hundred years. Fortunately, your Qi Luck has not diminished at all.]
[The fourth foreknowledge ends, do you want to continue?]
“Continue!”
This time, Su Nan didn’t stop. He wanted to see what kind of ending he would face if he continued following the ceremony process.
[You have successfully completed the first step of the ceremony, the massive loss of your lifespan has a significant impact on you, your bloodlines inside are violently agitated, and your strength is reduced to one -tenth,]
[Fortunately, you have just merged the four bloodlines into one, so you only have one bloodline inside, and no bloodline conflict occurs.]
[The ceremony continues, and you know that the second part, the feast, is about to begin.]
[Glancing over all the guests, you notice that there are three striking figures among them, they are three young men.]
[Unlike the other guests who appear dull, the three of them look at you with astonishment, and you understand in an instant that these three are Outsiders.] “Three people? Why are there only three people?”
Su Nan was puzzled, as the previous foreknowledge mentioned that besides him, there were four real guests.
[As the male child hosting the ceremony shouts once more, the feast officially begins.]
[In an instant, all of the Soul-eating Demons and Corpse Puppet guests turn their gazes toward the three Outsiders, a greedy expression appears on their mundane, expressionless faces.]
[The three Outsiders’ faces change drastically, realizing the danger, they try to escape, but they have no chance at all, as they are surrounded by the guests.] [The next moment, the three are attacked by the Power of Divine Soul and fall into unconsciousness.]
[You see all the Corpse Puppets and Soul-eating Demons place the three Outsiders separately on three long tables. The male child hosting the ceremony steps forward and cuts open the bodies of the three Outsiders.]
[Blood flows, staining the long tables before the Corpse Puppets and Soul-eating Demons in an instant. The male child takes the three’s hearts and presents them to you, waiting for you to consume.]
“Doi also have to eat the guests’ flesh and blood?”
Su Nan’s face turned pale.
Thankfully, the three were Outsiders, otherwise he was afraid that he would have to eat their flesh and blood in the next part.
When Outsiders die, their bodies disappear and leave no traces behind.
Now, the three hearts could be presented in front of him because the three were only unconscious, not dead.
However, with their hearts removed, unless the three were immensely strong and tenacious in vitality, they would not be far from death.
“With no guests, the ceremony should not be able to continue, right?” [Seeing the bloody hearts in front of you, you do not make any moves. At this moment, the intense pain in their bodies awakens the three Outsiders, who look at their own bodies in horror.]
[Then, in the eyes of all the guests, the three disappear, and simultaneously the
heart that the male child tried to hand you vanishes.]
[The three Outsiders die, the food for the feast disappears, and the guests who had been eagerly awaiting to consume the flesh and blood of the three are instantly out of control. Their faces become distorted with anger, and their expressions are ghastly and terrifying.]
[The male child hosting the ceremony becomes furious, scanning the hall with his gaze, searching for alternative food. Suddenly, the male child sees something and turns his gaze to a corner, where an old man is standing outside of the Corpse Puppets and Soul-eating Demons.]
[The next moment, all of the Corpse Puppets and Soul-eating Demons turn their attention to the old man. You follow their gaze and see a gray-robed old man, one of the two powerful individuals from the Dianxing Sect.]
[Noticed by the Corpse Puppets and Soul-eating Demons, the old man, who originally had a dull expression and lifeless eyes, appears irked. He stares at you with angry eyes.]
[The old man suddenly struck you with a blue beam, your weakened state left you unable to react in time, and you were hit by the old man’s power.]
[You died.]
“That old guy from Dianxing Sect is still alive?”
Su Nan was shocked, finally understanding what happened to the missing person.
Obviously, the old man had used some method to disguise himself as a corpse puppet, deceiving the soul-eating demons and other corpse puppets. Although he was unable to leave the temple, he managed to stay alive.
It was likely that, in the old man’s view, Su Nan’s arrival was what led to his discovery, thus prompting him to attack in anger.
Of course, it was also possible that the old man believed that killing Su Nan would remove the groom from the ceremony, ensuring his own safety.
Interesting. If that old man could disguise himself as a corpse puppet, then maybe I can try it too?”
Su Nan came up with the idea and immediately began attempting it.
Boneshifting could only make him appear as a being of flesh and blood, so it definitely couldn’t transform him into a soul-eating demon. However, becoming a corpse puppet should be feasible.
[In your view, transforming into the appearance of a corpse puppet might enable you to survive in the temple.]
[Boneshifting is used, your appearance and aura begin to change, and in the blink of an eye, you become like one of the corpse puppets in the grand hall.] [Unfortunately, your Boneshifting can only deceive those below king level. It is useless against the power of the temple. The moment you entered the temple, you fell into unconsciousness.]
[When you awaken, you find yourself in festive wedding clothes.]
“No good, huh?”
Su Nan sighed but wasn’t too surprised.
From the beginning, the Boneshifting technique could only deceive those below king level. Its efficacy has not increased along with Su Nan’s own power growth.
It’s foreseeable that as his strength grows, this technique will be of less and less help to him.
And so, he thought of the technique called “Change One’s Face”.
That technique could allow him to transform into any race he had seen before.
If he could acquire it, maybe it would still help him.
Unfortunately, there’s only one Technique Seed in the Contribution Mall, and
it s not available for exchange anymore.
To exchange for it again, he would need to earn 20,000 contribution points for a Divine Ability Seed.
Su Nan’s expression changed.
On the side, the Great Princess had been closely watching his expressions.
Seeing his change, she couldn’t help but say, “If there’s no way to bypass the temple, it’s not too late to turn back now.”
The Great Princess advised again.
She had no idea that now, she not only no longer wanted to kill Su Nan and was no longer troubled by the Bloodline Coexistence Technique, but she actually began to worry about him.
Su Nan shook his head and continued to consider his options in silence.
“Since the Life Wheel Scripture can guarantee my Qi Luck from being stolen,
now I just need to solve the problem of my lifespan.”
Having one’s lifespan extracted would affect their bloodline, which is fatal for a martial artist.
Thankfully, in order to complete the task of exploring the temple, he had switched roles to Lang Thirteen and had been using this character for his foreknowledge.
If he had used the Wang Nan role for foreknowledge, he might have already lost control when his lifespan was reduced.
“If I use an avatar to play the groom in the ceremony, would my lifespan or the avatar’s lifespan be extracted?”
A thought suddenly struck Su Nan.
During his previous foreknowledge, the avatar was killed while his true self played the groom, resulting in his lifespan being extracted.
But if he used an avatar, things might be different.
After all, avatars don’t have something like lifespan!
Although his Divine Soul descends onto the avatar, making the avatar Wang Nan, the two share Qi Luck and Fate Divine Power, but seemingly not lifespan.
With this in mind, Su Nan immediately began another round of foreknowledge.
