Chapter 1016: Ink Immortal Transformation

Wu Wuwu raised her head in terror to look at her other subordinates, only to see some of them with only half their bodies left, writhing in panic, and others reduced to headless torsos.

One subordinate who had only his legs left even trembled as he lunged at her, looking utterly terrified.

But when it came to courage, Wu Wuwu was more cowardly than any of them! She instinctively stepped back, but it was already too late.

That subordinate with only his legs stopped completely before her, and then… Wu Wuwu felt a sense of terror, as if some existence had overlapped and crossed through her body.

Thud.

The subordinate with only his feet left seemed to collapse onto the ground, and along with the final light, his legs vanished completely without a trace.

Looking at the others again, all of these subordinates had completed their final light, vanishing completely.

The entire street was empty, as if only she alone existed.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Wu Wuwu's heart lurched, and looking down, she immediately discovered that her own feet were also in the process of completing their final disappearance.

"After my body completely disappears, what will happen? Will I die? That idiot Ye Hongyi, where is he! Come save me like you did back at Qi Huang Fu!"

Wu Wuwu was so scared she nearly cried out, but after her legs completely vanished, the world before her eyes changed.

Everything before her became an existence composed of lines and dots.

Houses were formed from rough lines crisscrossing each other, allowing one to easily see through everything inside the house and even everything behind it.

Looking out, everything within her line of sight could enter her eyes, without any obstruction.

At the same time, she felt her body grow heavy, as if swimming in deep water.

"Gulp gulp gulp!"

When she opened her mouth, some small bubbles actually emerged before her eyes.

What on earth… is going on?

She went beside a house and reached out to touch it… her hand passed straight through the lines.

This strange feeling, and this bizarre state…

What on earth… have I become?

Suddenly, as if her oxygen had run out, Wu Wuwu felt a wave of suffocation wash over her.

She struggled desperately, kicking and flailing, even reaching up to grab at her own neck and cheeks.

But in the next instant, she suddenly froze.

Because she… felt a face full of wrinkles.

This is… my face? When did I get this old? No! Wait! My lifespan… my lifespan!!

Wu Wuwu struggled in panic, but the suffocation drowned out everything, her consciousness falling into darkness, and her body turned to ash within the Mo Qing light.

……

Above the Black Cloud.

Black-Qing Weird stroked his chin, looking down at the spectacle below and clicking his tongue in wonder.

"The Ink Immortal Formation… to think there really is a madman who would realize your wild ideas from back then."

"I really can't imagine how obsessed you must have been back then, unable to become an immortal, to come up with such a vicious formation."

"Ink Immortal, Ink Immortal. Human lives as ink, transforming yin into an immortal! What a… magnificent picture of life and death."

In his line of sight, the entire Jingcheng was gradually disappearing! Gradually transforming into a kind of special existence similar to 【Yin Messengers】!

"What do you mean? Is an immortal about to be born in Jingcheng?" the King of the Wu Yu Clan asked coldly.

"More complicated than you think. If the Ink Immortal Formation succeeds, then the entire Qing Guo… no, the entire Qingchuan Jie, everyone has a chance to achieve immortal status!"

"What?!" The King of the Wu Yu Clan's eyes went wide, his heart greatly shaken.

"Impossible! If becoming an immortal were such a simple matter, how could we Weird have survived until now!"

"That's not necessarily so. The ways of Weird survival aren't as simple as you think."

"You mean I don't understand? I, the dignified King of the Wu Yu Clan, a Mo-level Weird, know less about Weird than you do?"

Just a mere remnant—if you still had your full transcendent-level strength, fine, but you've already been sealed and ground down to nothing but a remnant, and you still dare to speak so arrogantly to me! If I didn't need to cooperate with him, I'd make him pay!

The King of the Wu Yu Clan silently clenched his fist.

Black-Qing Weird seemed to see through the King of the Wu Yu Clan's thoughts, smiled slightly, said no more about Weird matters, and instead continued speaking.

"The essence of the Ink Immortal Formation is that Mo Qing, unable to break through to the immortal realm, began researching 【Yin Messengers】, intending to use 【Yin Messengers】 as a reference to forge an entirely new path of cultivation, and he actually researched some things, gaining a lot of theoretical support."

"After all, among humans, although rare, there do exist some people with special physiques whose nature is somewhat similar to 【Yin Messengers】."

"But during the era when he was still active, the 【Ink Immortal Formation】, lacking experimental materials, ultimately remained only theoretical and was completely shelved by him."

"To think it would reappear here."

Looking at Black-Qing Weird's intrigued expression, the King of the Wu Yu Clan's face darkened. "Is this the time to admire humans? Hurry and think of a way to break through the Mo-green light arc, let our Blood Rain cover Jingcheng again!"

"No need to rush. The conditions to achieve 【Yin Immortal】 are extremely stringent, almost impossible to succeed."

"The entire Jingcheng below is almost gone, and you're sure this is almost impossible to succeed?"

"Shh, let the Night Rain fall a while longer."

Amid Black-Qing Weird's shushing, the Jingcheng that had vanished like Yin Messengers slowly reappeared in the air in a dilapidated, ruin-like manner.

……

Standing atop the spirit tree, Fang Yue looked out and saw the entire Jingcheng shrouded in a mist-like Mo-green light.

As the light enveloped everything, Fang Yue noticed that the Wu Yu Clan Weird in the night sky seemed to have sensed something, and in their fright flew upward, trying to return above the Black Cloud, only to crash into the green-arc light—like a head-on collision into a sun burning at extreme temperatures—and were instantly vaporized into a wisp of breath, vanishing without a trace.

Meanwhile, the humans standing on the ground, under the shroud of the Mo-green light, were gradually transforming and disappearing.

As the number of those disappearing gradually increased, a vague Yin Messenger-like aura actually began emerging from various places in Jingcheng.

"So this is… the truth of the Ink Immortal Formation?"

Fang Yue's expression turned strange. He could feel that every living person remaining in Jingcheng was being transformed by the Ink Immortal Formation, and even the houses and buildings had been tainted by this strange aura, becoming dilapidated, as if weathered by countless years of wind and rain, turning into ruins that emanated a bizarre atmosphere.

More and more of this aura appeared, gradually merging to form an even stronger aura, which converged toward the spirit tree where he stood.

Given this characteristic, what the spirit tree would ultimately brew was simply beyond imagination.

This was a terrifying formation that would seize every living being and every inorganic object in the entire Jingcheng, transforming them all into the same substance or some kind of existence, then fusing and merging them together, ultimately brewing out a monster!

If the formation continued to operate, the entire Jingcheng would vanish, and every existence within the area would become nourishment for the Ink Immortal Formation!

It was unimaginable how powerful an existence brewed in this manner would actually be — perhaps... even an immortal would have to give way!
