80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled

Chapter 278: The Life During the Five Decay (Part 4)

Lin Jiufeng, who was lying on the bed, had his eyes closed. His body was weak and he couldn’t stand up anymore.

He felt pain all over his body.

Knees, wrists, chest, abdomen…

Breathing was also very difficult.

The only good thing was that he was relatively clear-headed throughout.

But this was also a form of torture.

The Five Decay of the Celestial Being wanted Lin Jiufeng to look at himself. Little by little, Lin Jiufeng went from the Great Emperor Jiufeng who suppressed the world to a weak old man lying on the bed.

He couldn’t even take care of himself now.

For a powerhouse who once reigned supreme, this would probably bring him a huge feeling of dismay.

Not many people could accept such an impact.

But for Lin Jiufeng, he accepted it.

Lin Jiufeng was very calm throughout. His emotions weren’t fluctuating much. Even though his body had been tortured beyond recognition by the Five Decay of the Celestial Being, this was nothing to Lin Jiufeng.

Because he clearly knew that all of this was because of the arrival of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being. He chose to face it head-on instead of using secret techniques, magic treasures, or tricks to resist it.

When facing the Five Decay of the Celestial Being, very few people chose to face it head-on. This was the most difficult method. One had to experience a total of five decay for this ninth tribulation, and Lin Jiufeng was only at the first decay now.

‘Hehe, you tortured my body but spared my spirit. This is the stupidest thing. The most important thing for a person to be powerful is still wisdom. The rise and decline of the body are only temporary, and only the undying spirit exists for eternity.’ Lin Jiufeng thought mockingly.

It was unknown how powerful Lin Jiufeng’s spirit was.

In his spiritual consciousness, his divine soul transformed into a Fusang Tree. His divine soul world became a vast and boundless sea where the Fusang Tree floated.

The Fusang Tree suppressed his spiritual world. Lin Jiufeng silently waited for the calamity to pass.

Another day passed.

Lin Jiufeng was already 98 years old. He was as thin as a matchstick now. Only a few strands of his long white hair remained. His skin was dark, and his age spots were very serious. There was death energy lingering on his body. There wasn’t much vitality in his body anymore.

According to the saying of the common people, he was living on the last breath now.

If this breath dissipated, Lin Jiufeng would die.

For Lin Jiufeng, this was a very difficult moment.

But that was all.

‘It can’t destroy my spirit. No matter how cruel the physical torture is, it’s fake.’ Lin Jiufeng thought calmly.

He was now very calm.

Because he knew that it was impossible for the Five Decay of the Celestial Being to directly kill his body.

‘Letting me gradually age and see myself fall from the peak to the bottom. This tribulation wants me to collapse mentally so that it can invade my spiritual world. Unfortunately, I’m very calm throughout. It couldn’t invade me.’ Lin Jiufeng was like an outsider, watching all of this happen calmly.

Another day passed.

On this day, Lin Jiufeng was 108 years old.

His body only weighed 25 kilograms now. His entire body had shriveled, and he couldn’t even lift his fingers.

This was no different from a dead man.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t care about his own body. He knew that the critical moment of the first decay was coming.

The torture of this body had already reached its limits, it couldn’t torture his body any further. Therefore, the next step was to destroy Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual world.

After completely destroying everything about Lin Jiufeng, the Five Decay of the Celestial Being would absorb all of Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual energy to replenish itself.

After all, the Five Decay of the Celestial Being also groomed a large group of mysterious creatures.

Just like the ‘Lin Jiufeng’ in the mirror that Lin Jiufeng had seen previously.

Boom!

Just as Lin Jiufeng was thinking, a large amount of black smoke floated in the air and directly rushed into Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual consciousness.

This was a terrifying scene.

There were millions of terrifying and mysterious creatures in the black smoke. Some of them were tangible, some were formless, and some were just a gust of wind, a wisp of smoke, or a wisp of consciousness…

These mysterious creatures rushed over and were very excited in the black smoke. To them, this was mealtime.

An eighth stage False Immortal Realm powerhouse could let them have a full meal and persist for a long time.

This group of mysterious creatures had a unified title.

Ta!

The leader was none other than the ‘Lin Jiufeng’ who had appeared in the mirror that day.

Ta was quite terrified that day.

This time, Ta was the first to rush over, wanting to devour Lin Jiufeng.

Rumble!

This group of mysterious creatures rushed in together in the black smoke. It was very terrifying. They seeped into Lin Jiufeng’s facial features and surrounded his spiritual world.

Rumble!

But after entering Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual world, they were all slapped down by gigantic waves.

Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual world was a sea. The ruler of this sea was a huge, towering Fusang Tree.

Under the Fusang Tree was a small golden figure. It was Lin Jiufeng’s source energy. Just like the Fusang Tree, it was Lin Jiufeng’s Primordial Spirit.

Lin Jiufeng divided his Primordial Spirit into several parts. The little golden figure was one portion, and it even went out to transcend the tribulation last time. As for the Fusang Tree, it had always been Lin Jiufeng’s trump card. It had always been in his spiritual world, and its roots spread throughout the sea.

Lin Jiufeng had waited for this moment for a long time. He watched all of this coldly. Outside, he couldn’t do anything to this group of mysterious creatures, but after entering his spiritual world, it wasn’t up to them anymore.

In the spiritual world, Lin Jiufeng was the only king!

“In the past few days, I have been obedient to you all. I gave my body to you all and let you guys torture me. It was all for this moment that I continuously numbed you all, to make you guys lower your guard and enter my spiritual world. Now, this is the main battlefield, and I am the only God!”

The Fusang Tree let out a rumbling sound. The fiery red leaves seemed to be burning like flames. It was very terrifying.

“Now, welcome to the Purgatory!”

The Fusang Tree said in a low voice.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

The mysterious creatures were roaring angrily and charging frantically. They wanted to devour the Fusang Tree.

But in this place, all of these were useless.

The Fusang Tree didn’t talk nonsense with them. It directly launched a flame attack.

It was burning the sea!

In the very next moment, endless flames appeared on the incomparably vast sea in Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual world. They were burning fiercely and were incomparably terrifying.

These flames came from the Fusang Tree. It was an innate divine tree and was born with flames. This flame was an innate fire, so it could burn the mysterious creatures.

There were millions of mysterious creatures that rushed in, but in front of the endless sea, they were insignificant.

The first to be burned to death was ‘Lin Jiufeng’.

When the Fusang Tree saw this scene, its attitude was extremely cold. It said, “I said I would kill you!”

The surging sea was no longer surging with seawater, but raging flames.

The mysterious creatures struggled inside and wailed in pain. They directly rolled around and let out mournful cries. They also began to beg for mercy.

But it was useless.

Lin Jiufeng’s Primordial Spirit remained indifferent. The Fusang Tree and the little golden figure watched coldly.

In less than a moment, millions of mysterious creatures were burned.

Lin Jiufeng successfully passed the first decay of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being.
