My Simulated Road to Immortality

In Li Fan’s spirit consciousness, the words spoken by Emperor One echoed repeatedly.

Being a bearer of [Real], capable of almost endless retries, compared to anyone else, he understood the meaning in these words more deeply.

Furthermore, Li Fan had a hunch. Hidden in these words seemed to be some deeper secret.

Something related to his future path or perhaps [Real].

But, just like trying to see flowers in the fog, he wasn’t able to comprehend its entirety.

Li Fan was lost in his thoughts, while recently speaking Emperor One fell silent.

After being stared at by his gaze, Xu Ke couldn’t help but tremble, closing his mouth.

A person who feared no heaven or earth like Xu Ke had also recognized the fatal implication in his words, not daring to probe further.

After a long while, perhaps to break the awkward environment, Xu Ke chuckled lightly and changed the subject: “Right, if Emperor One is you then…” he tapped his head, pretending as if he just remembered, retrieving a vermilion wooden box handing it over.

“Lu Ya passed me this to bring here. He didn’t speak about who the recipient was, but since you are the boss here, passing it to you wouldn’t be a problem, right?” Xu Ke looked over Emperor One, said with a sense of relief.

“This is…”

Emperor One’s eyes scanned the wooden box. Unexpectedly, a grim expression appeared on his small face.

He took it over and his hands flashed with a dark radiance, instantly cracking the restrictions on it.

“Roar!”

A massive surge of malicious qi, paired with disgruntled roars of anger, surged out of the wooden box.

A tornado formed by tangible malice.

An infinite amount of bloodlust overflowed in an instant, spreading out around like a shockwave.

It was as if they could see the raging figure of an unrivalled beast.

An unprepared Xu Ke was frightened and fell to the ground on the spot.

In the deep thoughts, Li Fan wakened by this terrifying scene.

His feathers stood upright as if he’d met a natural enemy, trembling unconsciously.

Fortunately, Emperor One’s small hand, fingers slightly bent, formed a cage as tough as a fortress.

Tightly locking the malicious qi, controlling it within.

No matter how it clashed or struggled fiercely, it couldn’t breach out.

“Even in death, it doesn’t change that nasty temper.” Emperor One snorted coldly, black radiance faintly lighted up in his hand.

A moment later, seemingly sensing Emperor One’s aura, the unrivaled beast in the wooden box gradually calmed down.

The roaring grew smaller until they were no longer audible.

It was at this moment, shaken Xu Ke and Li Fan, recognized what lay in the wooden box.

It was a beast head with angry wide-opened eyes, unwilling to close even in death.

There were numerous wounds on it like a shattered ceramic ware.

Flesh and blood in the wound was wriggling restlessly. It seemed like the beast was still breathing.

Not anticipating the thing that he delivered to Nanming Demon Mountain on behalf of Lu Ya would turn out to be such a terrifying thing, Xu Ke went pale.

Hurriedly waving his hands, he explained: “I didn’t do it!”

The Childform Emperor One paused and then chuckled.

“Relax, even if you claimed you killed it, no one in this world would believe it.”

“Emperor Li the Second, the overlord of beast slaughtering known to fight against the whole world…”

“There aren’t many existences that could kill it. And you definitely are not one among them.”

Emperor One’s face didn’t hold much grief or anger, he lightly explained, then looked at the head of Emperor Li the Second as if to study something or look for some connection.

“Emperor Li the Second?” Xu Ke, who had cleared his name from being the murder suspect, did not feel relieved. On contrary, he felt more terrified.

He swallowed the saliva: “If it’s the second, isn’t it stronger than Emperor Three?”

“Why did it become like this…”

Xu Ke subconsciously glanced at the skull in the wooden box, and asked with difficulty.

Li Fan was also greatly shaken.

From Emperor One’s just spoken words, it was clear that this Emperor Li the Second was probably the strongest in the beast race, excepting Emperor One himself.

If judged compared to the human cultivator realm, it should be equivalent to the Immortal Realm.

And now, its head was removed…

Who did this?

Thinking that the wooden box was obtained from Lu Ya of Beast Taming Sect and Lu Ya, even though he didn’t have the strength to carry out this feat, he knows someone who did.

Mr. Bai.

In an instant, a unique, peerless figure emerged in Li Fan’s mind.

Was it him?

Li Fan and Xu Ke exchanged a glance, seemingly reaching the same conclusion.

The same time when two of them had figured out the likely culprit, Emperor One seemed to have found something from the wound on the skull.

“Those who are good at fighting are destined to die by fighting.”

“I advised you many times, but you never listened. Now you end up like this, but it’s all your fault.”

Emperor One’s face was cold, his voice as icy as frost.

From the skull of Emperor Li the Second, a faintly audible roar, seemingly discontented, echoed.

“Good that you’re back.”

Suddenly, Emperor One said something inexplicable.

Next, something bone-chilling happened, witnessed by Xu Ke.

They saw Emperor One place his hand over Emperor Li the Second’s skull and then his soft, fair, and tender, child-like hand swelled and twisted.

One by one, lumps of flesh like black mud surged out from Emperor One’s hand.

Drowning, swallowing the skull of Emperor Li the Second.

Xu Ke pulled Li Fan subconsciously, retreating several steps.

Moving away from the seemingly harmless Emperor One.

Only a few breaths later, the surging black flesh cloud was sharply retracted.

Emperor One turned back to his innocent child-like self.

And the skull of Emperor Li the Second had disappeared.

“Thank you, guys, for bringing this fool back.”

“He won’t be leaving again, at least for a few tens of thousands of years.”

Emperor One said seriously.

Xu Ke awkwardly scratched his head, for a time unsure about what to say.

“I also understand the intention of Emperor Three…”

Emperor One glanced at Xu Ke and smiled.

Without blaming, he casually said.

Then his belly swelled in a flash, in no time becoming several times larger than his current child-like body, a monstrous form.

Something seemed to be gestating inside, rolling back and forth continuously.

“Plop!”

The sound of flesh tearing echoed from his body, and before long, a plump creature separated from his body.

“Take this little guy back and hand it to Lu Ya.”

“He knows what to do.”

Transformed back into a child, Emperor One looked at Xu Ke, fell silent for a while before suddenly speaking: “This is your task reward for bringing Emperor Li the Second.”

“Besides this, I have another gift for you.”
