What If I Can't Die?



However, some people's rationality had already been affected by greed and they did not listen.

Before they could react.

A wave of sword qi suddenly soared into the sky. Sharp energy that was comparable to the strength of ten thousand swords shot towards the attacking cultivators.

"Ah!"

The cultivators nearby were instantly riddled with holes and turned into meat paste under the sharp aura. Most of the cultivators who retreated had their limbs broken.

The smell of blood spread, dousing the fanatical crowd with a brutal reality check.

The cultivators of the joint trading companies turned pale. When they looked at the sword in front of them again, there was no longer any joy.

"I've already reminded you. Do you really think that the the level six comprehensive Array Fromation here is to be trifled with and will willingly allow you to attack?"

Heavenly Star Lord glanced at the United Trading Company indifferently, his voice reverberating through the somewhat silent valley.

Song Shi was envious. Thousands of swords piercing through his heart? He had never tasted death quite like this.

Tick, tick, tick.

Blood actually fell inside through the Array Formation. The swords in the Sword Tomb became a little more bloody, as if this was not the tomb of the swords, but their tomb instead.

"Be careful. When the Array Formation is attacked to a certain extent, it will cause counterattacks."

Lu Jiu's words made the people who were shocked come back to their senses. They became careful when they attacked again.

The encounter with of the Trading Companies was only the beginning. Soon, other places were also attacked by killing arrays.

A lake appeared where the Qianzheng Academy attacked. There were many lotus flowers growing in it. In the end, before they could take a look, water lotuses flew out and spun, directly killing a few Confucian-looking cultivators.

This was under the circumstance that they were on guard already. If they were not prepared, more people would have died.

A forest appeared in the area where the Heavenly Poison Sect was located. There was a large amount of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual wood growing inside. Some spiritual fruits that formed from spiritual wood emitted an alluring fragrance that made people drool from afar.

Initially, they thought that there was no danger, but in the end, countless vines appeared out of thin air and wrapped around a few cultivators. The roots pierced into their bodies and turned them into dried corpses in the blink of an eye.

It was obvious that there were precious treasures in every attack node, but there was also terrifying killing mechanisms present.

"Everyone below the Golden Core Realm, retreat!"

Seeing that the node suddenly lit up, Lu Jiu raised his hand and personally ordered away the group of Foundation Establishment disciples. The other Foundation Establishment wardens also retreated without hesitation.

They had already seen the miserable state of the other nodes several times, so they were willing to dodge without hesitation at the slightest movement.

No matter how precious a treasure was, one had to be alive to obtain it.

Only Lu Jiu and the other three Nascent Souls did not retreat.

"Sect Master, is there a way to break it?"

Ghost Butcher asked. Among them, the sect master's Array Formation level was the highest.

"Definitely not. Moreover, this place is like the other nodes. It's not easy to deal with despite being strong."

Lu Jiu frowned. "Even if it's a long-range attack, it will be counterattacked by the Array Formation. Other than relying on technique to break it, we must also brace ourselves for death if we continue attacking. We have to be ready to incur a certain number of casualties if we want to break the array."

When they could not think of a solution and most people had retreated, Song Shi stood up.

"It's here, my chance is finally here!"

Song Shi was filled with anticipation. Not only did he not retreat, but he also strode towards the node.

These nodes were the key points of the entire ruin's Array Formation. It was precisely because they were critical that the things below were also very precious.

Many gazes looked over with strange expressions. They did not understand why the Blood-Robed old ghost was still approaching when everyone had dodged hurriedly.

"Blood Robes?"

Old Man Nightmare exclaimed softly.

"If he has a death wish, just let him go. Why are you calling him?"

Lu Youyou crossed her arms on the boat, "Let's see what he can do now."

Lu Jiu frowned slightly. An old demon like Blood-Robed old ghost would not foolishly send himself to his death. He either had something to rely on or had discovered something important.

The light of the Array Formation squirmed, and the Void distorted. A verdant tea tree slowly appeared, and there was a tree shadow beside it.

On a closer look, the shadow was also casted by a tea tree.

This tea tree wasn't very tall. It was about thirty feet tall. Its trunk was white and its leaves were emerald green. It was covered in spiritual runes and looked rather mystical.

The emerald green leaves were crystal clear and full of Spiritual Qi. They were full of vitality and even had runes on them. They contained a unique charm.

"Wisdom Tea Tree!"

"It actually contained this legendary spiritual object. I heard that using this tea to brew water can increase one's Comprehension by leaps and bounds."

"Wild beasts can directly activate their intelligence and ascend after eating the tea leaves."

The knowledgeable Lu Jiu, Ghost Butcher, and Moving Mountain were pleasantly surprised by the reveal of their treasures. Although the treasures at their node were rather special and could not increase their combat strength or directly increase their cultivation, they could be used to increase their aptitude.

This was definitely the best thing for nurturing disciples. It could help in increasing the overall talent of the entire sect in a short period of time.

Song Shi glanced at the tea tree. Blood was gushing out from the belt on his waist and quickly expanded into a river of blood.

He had already walked to the same level as Lu Jiu and the other three Nascent Soul cultivators.

"What does the Blood-robed Elder think?"

Lu Jiu was surprised. Even the other Golden Cores avoided coming so close. Why did this person dare to get so close?

They were all at the Nascent Soul realm and had enough strength. What was this person relying on?

"I don't have any thoughts. I just want to go over and activate the Array Formation attack."

Song Shi replied. Suddenly, a clone of him was formed and walked out from beside him and continued to approach the node.

"Cloning Technique!"

Perfected Lord Ghost Butcher was surprised, "This spell is very rare. What he cultivates is a rather high-level cloning technique."

When Song Shi approached, the tea tree suddenly emitted a green light. When Song Shi came into contact with it, he instantly turned into dust.

In the blood river, the other Song Shi had a calm expression, as if he had not encountered any danger.

"Even if it's only a portion of the power of a Level six Array Formation, it's still terrifyingly powerful."

Lu Jiu sighed and looked at the green light, "Even if we, Nascent Souls face it, it will still be quite difficult."

"Is he using his clone to deliberately consume the Array Formation Power?"

Ghost Butcher glanced at Song Shi's clone beside them. Because of the blood river, he thought that this was Song Shi's main body.

"Hmph, he was quite lazy before. Now that he's taking the initiative, he definitely doesn't have good intentions."

Lu Youyou couldn't help but retort when she saw that Song Shi was attacking the Array Formation.

…

"Congratulations on being killed by the Array Formation. Your body and soul have been destroyed. The reward is super doubled. Array Formation level +4,000!"

"You have absorbed strength from death and obtained 40 Freedom Attribute Points!"

"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"

"Resurrection location set. Reviving at resurrection point!"

"Your array formation level has increased to Level 4."

…

Hearing the notification, Song Shi appeared in the blood river, feeling excited.

"That's awesome, exciting. I was rewarded with four thousand Array Formation levels in one go. As expected of a Level 6 Array Formation. The key is that I didn't even feel any pain at all. I died so cleanly!"

Song Shi's understanding of Array Formations had improved greatly. He appeared beside the clone and glanced at Lu Youyou. "Don't talk smack. If you have the ability, go and attack too."

Lu Youyou said disdainfully, "It's just using a clone to deceive the Array Formation attack. It's not that brilliant."

"Youyou, the Blood-robed Elder is helping to break the array!"

Lu Jiu scolded, "Just watch carefully and stop making a fuss."

"Father, why are you speaking up for him again? Who doesn't know how to activate an Array Formation attack?"

Lu Youyou was unconvinced.

"Youyou, since you say so why don't you try condensing an Essence Energy clone."

Lu Jiu frowned.

"I'll give it a try then!"

Lu Youyou formed a seal and the black Essence Energy on her body surged. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a clone formed purely from Essence Energy.

Taking a step forward, the clone passed Song Shi in the blink of an eye and even deliberately glared at him.

Bam.

But before she could get her clone to approach the tea tree, it was shattered by the Array Formation.

"How could this be!"

Lu Youyou didn't understand.

"Stupid woman, if you don't understand the Array Formation, stay aside. The counterattack of this node is calculated according to the strength of the attacker. The more people there are, the stronger the counterattack. Similarly, the fewer people there are, the weaker the counterattack will be. Having only one person attack at a time will cause the Array Formation to start conserving energy."

Song Shi had a disdainful expression, "My clone can launch a full-strength attack comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, but I'll be fine. How many of you here can do it?"

Old Man Nightmare and the others subconsciously shook their heads. Since the Array Formation was strong when faced by strong and weak when by the weak, even if the sect master among them went, it would be very dangerous. It was difficult to say that anyone would be able to attack unscathed.

Even if there was really a way to preserve oneself, the energy, qi and essence consumption would definitely be terrifying. How could they then compete with the others for the treasures in the depths?

Clearly, the Blood-Robed old ghost's methods were most suitable to exhaust the power of this node.

"Blood-robed Elder, if you can exhaust the power of the array formation at this node, I'll give you one of the two Wisdom Ancient Tea Trees!"

Lu Jiu was very generous. The treasures in the outer area were so precious now, but the things inside were definitely more high-end. If he wasted his energy here, it would not be worth it.

"Understood!"

Song Shi originally only planned to farm death only and did not expect to obtain an ancient tea tree. However he agreed since this could definitely benefit him as drinking tea made from the Wisdom Tree tea leaves would probably increase his Comprehension by a lot.

He took a step forward with a proud expression, "All of you, retreat. I'll use my Blood Clone to exhaust the power of this node."

With that said, he rushed towards the tea tree.

Puff!

In the next moment, he was killed by the golden light again.

Many people looked over and were rather surprised by Song Shi's methods.
