From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 400 Mysterious Attack and Another Perilous Encounter

I won... I actually beat that arrogant Immortal Venerable Lingyun!

My bones were screaming in pain, as if they had been taken apart and reassembled, but the surging excitement in my heart overwhelmed all the discomfort.

I staggered and landed, seeing stars before my eyes and hearing a buzzing in my ears, as if thousands of bees were having a blast.

I could even taste the blood at the corner of my mouth, rusty and slightly sweet, dripping down my chin, drip, drip... falling on the scorched earth struck by golden lightning, like alluring little flowers.

The surrounding noise surged in like a tide, pounding against my eardrums in waves.

I vaguely heard someone calling my name, their voice filled with disbelief and excitement.

I tried hard to raise the corners of my mouth in response, but the muscles in my cheeks were as stiff as stone and I couldn't move them at all.

Suddenly, a strange feeling welled up inside me, as if an invisible hand was choking me, making it difficult to breathe.

The cheers around them abruptly ceased, replaced by a suffocating silence.

I looked up abruptly, my heart feeling as if it were being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.

An indescribable sense of oppression swept in from all directions, and the air became thick and sticky, like solidified honey.

I saw the sky in the distance. The once clear sky was now distorted, like an overturned palette, with all sorts of colors mixed together, eerie and terrifying.

A powerful energy surge, like a raging tide, rushed towards us.

This power was unfamiliar and strong, carrying a destructive aura that instilled in me an instinctive sense of fear.

I felt my body trembling uncontrollably, like a leaf in the wind, about to be torn apart by this force at any moment.

I turned my head with difficulty to look at Elder Wu.

His usually serious and rigid face was now filled with shock and solemnity.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

However, his wrinkled hands were clenched tightly, and his knuckles had turned white.

"What...what is this..." I heard myself ask in a hoarse voice, as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Elder Wu took a deep breath, his voice heavy as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing down on him, "No one is allowed to use any extraordinary immortal techniques to deal with this!" Although his voice was not loud, it carried an unquestionable majesty and sounded particularly clear in the silent air.

A transcendent immortal technique?

What a joke!

In my current state, it's a miracle that I can even stand up. How could I possibly have the strength to use any magical techniques?

Not to mention anything beyond the norm.

That old fellow makes it sound so easy!

I couldn't help but curse inwardly.

I saw Fairy Mingyue sitting in the audience, her face, which always carried a gentle smile, was now filled with worry.

She clenched her hands tightly, her gaze fixed intently on me.

But at this moment, I can't even offer her a comforting look.

This mysterious force was getting closer and closer, and I felt as if I were being watched by a huge monster, unable to move.

The surrounding space began to distort, and even the light became eerie.

I could even hear the sound of space breaking, like the sound of glass shattering, crisp and piercing.

I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm.

I know that fear solves nothing.

I have to find a way, I have to survive!

Suddenly, Elder Wu turned his head sharply and looked towards the edge of the arena.

"Guard Lin..." he said urgently, with a hint of barely concealed panic.

Sweat mixed with blood blurred my vision, making it impossible for me to see anything around me. I could only feel the oppressive feeling growing stronger, like a mountain pressing down on my chest, making it hard for me to breathe.

My god, this feeling is a hundred times worse than when I was going through a tribulation!

I couldn't help but think to myself, "Is God unhappy that I won the game and is deliberately making things difficult for me?"

Elder Wu's voice trembled, tinged with despair: "Guard Lin... how much longer can the barrier hold?"

I blinked hard, trying to get a better look at Guard Lin.

His face was deathly pale, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his lips were tightly pressed together, as if he was trying his best to endure something.

The longsword in his hand hummed and trembled violently, as if it were about to break at any moment.

"At most...at most a quarter of an hour..." Guard Lin's voice was hoarse and weak, with a slight tremor.

A quarter of an hour?

What a joke!

Fifteen minutes from now, won't we all become this thing's dinner?

A wave of despair washed over me.

This force is too powerful; it's simply beyond our ability to resist.

I feel like a flying insect trapped in a spider web, forced to watch helplessly as I head towards death.

Just when I was about to give up hope, suddenly, I felt a warm current surging through my body, a strange power awakening like a sleeping dragon.

This power, both strange and familiar, strong and gentle, flowed through my meridians, repairing my damaged body and dispelling the fear in my heart.

what is this?

My heart was filled with doubt, yet also with a hint of surprise.

Could it be... could it be that my cheat code has finally kicked in?

I gritted my teeth, concentrated, and tried to control this newborn power.

I felt my body was full of power, like a volcano about to erupt.

Just then, the mysterious force seemed to sense my change and its attack became even more ferocious.

The space was distorted even more violently, and I could even hear the sound of space breaking, as piercing as shattering glass.

I felt as if I were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, my bones creaking and groaning, as if they were about to be crushed at any moment.

I gritted my teeth, enduring the intense pain, and tried my best to control the power within my body.

"Ah!" I couldn't help but let out a low roar, and the power within me surged out like a flood bursting its banks.

I feel like a lit bomb, ready to explode at any moment.

My vision blurred, my ears were ringing, I couldn't see or hear anything, I could only feel a powerful force surging through my body.

Suddenly, I felt a suction force pulling me into an unknown space.

I tried to struggle, but found that I couldn't move at all.

"Xiao Yao!" A familiar voice rang in my ears, tinged with anxiety and worry.

It's Wen Chen!

I tried to open my eyes to see him clearly, but all I found was darkness.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here..." His voice grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared into the darkness.

"Wen Chen..." I whispered his name with my last bit of strength.

Then, I felt like I was falling into an abyss...

"Wait... what is that..." A muffled voice came, as if it came from a very far place, yet also as if it were right next to you.
