As I suffered an agony 100 occasions worse than drowning, because the vile liquid penetrated via my nostrils and lungs, it made me really feel as if I used to be drowning in liquid lava. With each bit and piece of my physique in utter and full agonizing ache. I needed to scream, and after I did, I immediately regretted it as I’ve let the liquid that felt like a residing factor entry to my physique.

The liquid, a nefarious, harmful, and painful substance enveloped me and pressed towards each fiber of my physique, making me want that dying would come and declare my life as quick because it might, however the reaper was too sluggish in his work that I needed to curse at him. I wasn’t dying any time quickly. And it took numerous time for the cultivators to note that I’m nonetheless alive and in utter ache.

I misplaced sight in one in all my eyes, the burning ache from my damaged leg elevated ten folds. And my again felt prefer it broke and was reconstructed however in a deformed approach. I used to be struggling, it was as if the liquid was morphing my physique, molding it like clay dough to the form it needed.

“He nonetheless lives. Good!” one of many cultivators stated, then the identical energy pulled me from the pool. Like a hand that grasped on the physique of a small chook, making it really feel ineffective and unable to do something however beg for the mercy of its captive.

He threw me towards the pool’s rim, I fell on my again, gasping for air that resisted contending agaisnt the burning liquid in my lungs.

I used to be unable to see nicely, my thoughts was in chaos, and my lungs have been filled with the disgusting liquid, I wretched and coughed out no matter I might, however I felt like there was far more left inside my lungs as they burned with each breath I took.

“You, what’s your identify?” requested on of the cultivators, he was the person with the crimson gown.

He was addressing me. I did not need to annoy him, so I spoke via grit tooth, “Shen Bao.”

“Shen Bao, right this moment is your fortunate day, you will be of service to an Immortal, rejoice and take satisfaction in it.” stated the person earing crimson, his gaze nevertheless was full of scorn, as if he noticed me as nothing however an ant, a software to his devises. A nonentity.

It was humiliating, to be seemed down upon, to be handled this fashion and to be anticipated to be grateful to your torturer, however for now, they maintain the keys to my survival, and I might do nothing however comply with their orders, maybe I might dwell.

“You’ve got survived the Bone and Physique Grinding Poison, that may be a feat not even we Immortals might do, meaning you are fated to be of nice use to us. Brat, transfer to that door, and place your hand in it.” stated the person.

‘Brat… irrespective of the way you have a look at it, I look a lot older than him. But when he’s an Immortal, the identical as those in these books, then he may very well be tons of of years for all I do know. So he’s most likely proper in calling me brat.’

I seemed ahead from the place I used to be mendacity down. There was a golden door there, full of writings of all types. I did not perceive any of them, however in the course of the writings was a palm print.

“Place your hand on the palm print. When you try this, that door will open, and you will be let out. I even have your antidote; you will be good as new when you drink this.” The cultivator stated.

‘model as new?’

I lastly realized what he meant as I checked out my fingers, I used to be a wholesome outdated aged man, I nonetheless had muscle tissues and construct, however after being dipped into that pool, every thing modified. My pores and skin turned pale inexperienced, pustules and odd tumorous blobs grew abnormally throughout my physique, this seemed like a extreme case of Neurofibromatosis, I’ve learn an article about it as soon as. I used to be a monster…

“Hurry!”

I attempted to face up, however my proper leg gave up on me, the damaged bone hadn’t healed but and with the Bone and Physique Grinding Poison, it had undoubtedly been affected and now it is in a fair worse situation.

“MOVE!” shouted one of many cultivators, and I had no alternative however to take action.

I dragged myself ahead, feeling each a part of me in utter agony, each bone of my physique screaming in ache as I moved ahead. The ache was an excessive amount of, but I did not faint or fall unconscious, I cursed the sturdy structure of this physique as it will have spared me a lot of this ache if I used to be only a weak regular human.

As soon as I reached the gate, the crimson carrying cultivator stated, “Press your palm there, brat. We do not have a lot time.”

I did as I used to be advised, all for that antidote, if I get it, I might do away with these disgusting options…

As soon as my hand locked onto the gate, it felt prefer it was glued. One thing pricked me within the palm, and a gust of blood surged out from the palm print and unfold all around the door. I felt dizzy and anemic. However I nonetheless could not fall unconscious.

I dropped to my knees huffing as soon as the door creaked open.

“It is open! We lastly did it! Ten years of laborious work lastly received us right here!” the Crimson robed cultivator spoke in glee.

The door stored opening revealing the within. The cultivators rushed towards the door. They needed to say what was there. However one thing was not proper.

Proper I entrance of me was a purple coloured cranium, it was too large, virtually as large because the door’s measurement, it seemed like a ghost, ethereal and see via. But the cultivators did not appear to note it, and even care about it in the event that they did.

Quickly, the purplish cranium dissipated right into a cloud of gasoline and fell to the bottom, seeping like a coiling snake. It got here to me, however the second it touched me, it eliminated itself and went away, searching for one thing.

The purple smoke additionally averted the cultivators, however they nonetheless did not appear to note it.

It went out most likely that was the ghost of somebody and it was leaving the dungeon we’re in.

The cultivators all went inside the brand new room however I grabbed on the final one’s gown and stated.

“The antidote!”

The cultivator smirked in my face and stated, “Do you assume if we had the antidote we would not have dipped ourselves within the pool and open the door ourselves? Silly mortal, now die!” he stated and lifted his leg as much as stomp on my face.

But the earth trembled and a shaking far worse than something I’ve ever felt earlier than began.

The scarce mild that got here from the exit of this dungeon was lower off. And the quantity of the purple fog started growing within the room.

The individuals who have been chained started falling unconscious, it was sudden, and silent. Like nothing I’ve ever seen earlier than, it was like a spell to make everybody go to sleep. But, their our bodies shriveled up and dried up proper in entrance of my eyes.

Not even the cultivator who needed to stomp my head into the bottom was saved from this destiny, even he was turned to a skeleton, then his skeleton turned to ash. All that was left of him was his garments and a small brown pouch.

The cave was silent. For the primary time since I received right here, it was as silent because the evening. No extra got here the sound of wailing and pained moans, not even the sound of the Cultivators who went into the room.

I can not keep right here, maybe the purple ghost had ignored me at first was a coincidence, however I doubt it’s going to do it once more.

There was no approach out from the place we received in from. There may be solely the cave.
