Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1154: Chapter 48: The True Decay of the Great Tao River_2

“It seems to be proceeding more smoothly than anticipated.”

“Let’s go, we’ll follow as well.” Finally discovering a living Witch Beast, Wang Sheng didn’t want any surprises.

But in the end, the thing he worried about didn’t happen.

In the deep of night, the Witch Beast had already been successfully lured out of the swamp.

The next day, food injected with Qiong Tian’s special potion was delivered in front of the Witch Beast.

The Witch Beast, being large in size, also meant it required more food to consume. It devoured the food delivered without any hesitation.

“It ate it, get ready.” Qiong Tian told all the warriors present to be prepared.

Only then did the truly tense time begin.

As expected, the Witch Beast that had consumed the food quickly became weak.

Qiong Tian calculated the timing, and when the Witch Beast was trembling even as it flew, he gave the order.

“Go!”

In an instant, several iron chains were thrown out, sweeping over the Witch Beast from above. The people on the other side saw the chains fall and immediately secured them.

“Roar!”

The Witch Beast’s freedom was restricted, forcibly brought to the ground, letting out a roar and resisting instantly.

In that moment, the earth surged, and a fierce wind arose.

Even weakened, the Witch Beast behaved exceedingly terrifying.

There were over two hundred warriors following Qiong Tian, all strengthened.

Yet restraining the Witch Beast was still extremely difficult.

Qiong Tian frowned at the sight.

“No, we need to temporarily stop it from moving, or it might break free.”

Catching a Witch Beast using poison to restrain it was too simple, he didn’t expect that even weakened, it was still so terrifying.

Wang Sheng heard this, glanced at the Witch Beast, and said, “Temporarily lose the ability to resist?”

“You have a way?” Qiong Tian knew Wang Sheng had never seen a Witch Beast before.

He basically came to watch the show this time.

However, Wang Sheng nodded slightly, “Sort of…”

Then Qiong Tian saw Wang Sheng starting to run swiftly, weaving nimbly among the obstacles raised by the Witch Beast, and in the blink of an eye, he was close to the Witch Beast.

Then, he picked up a giant tree trunk, instantly exerting force.

Bang!

A sound exploded, the tree trunk striking the Witch Beast’s body directly, the Witch Beast’s body visibly caving inward at that moment.

“Roar!”

The Witch Beast howled in pain, its ability to resist weakening once more.

The warriors naturally seized the opportunity to completely restrain the Witch Beast, rendering it unable to move.

For a moment, the scene was somewhat quiet.

They couldn’t tell whether it was their chains that did the work or Wang Sheng’s terrifying attack that made an impact.

Could this really be a power humans could wield?

Finally, it was Qiong Tian who reacted first, rushing up to Wang Sheng.

“How did you do that just now? That power already surpasses the limits of body modification, could it be that you’ve broken through the research impasse?” This was his obsession; compared to those things, a Witch Beast meant nothing.

However, Wang Sheng shook his head, “I’m sorry to tell you, this is no transcendence; in fact, my physique is still at the mundane limit, without any breakthrough. It’s merely an expression of using power to the utmost.”

The so-called martial arts is the manifestation of using power to its extremity.

Wang Sheng’s physique is at the mundane limit, and the power he displays is naturally fearsome.

Unfortunately, it’s still not transcendent.

Qiong Tian felt like a bucket of cold water was dumped on him, causing him to calm down immediately, “So it is… but impressive nonetheless, could you teach me? This might be a direction.”

Wang Sheng said nonchalantly, “If you want, sure, but now the focus should be on the Witch Beast. We need to figure out how to conduct research on it while ensuring its survival, including anatomical dissection…”

Qiong Tian also redirected his gaze to the Witch Beast.

“Rest assured, I’ve long been prepared.”

The Witch Beast was captured; though it was extraordinary, ultimately it’s just strong, and once restrained, it couldn’t stir up any more trouble, and was successfully brought back to the base established by Qiong Tian.

“Let’s go, everything is ready. It’s the first time conducting research on a living Witch Beast. They can allow humans to use witchcraft; what secrets do they hold themselves…”

The Witch Beast was special; once dead, it quickly rotted away.

Only the blood could be preserved.

Therefore, Wang Sheng and Qiong Tian initially focused only on its exterior study.

Then they proceeded like a surgery, beginning to dissect the Witch Beast’s body.

The Witch Beast was anesthetized with plant similar to anesthesia, naturally not resisting.

“These are the Witch Beast’s veins, so tough, even modified humans are no match, perhaps this is the direction…”

Qiong Tian was engrossed in the Witch Beast’s body structure.

Meanwhile, Wang Sheng was calming his own mind.

“Most of the internal organs are quite normal, but its body structure, why does it resemble a Dust Beast so much…”

He had never stopped researching Dust Beasts.

He even came to this starry sky precisely because he sensed the presence of Dust Beasts.

But after arriving in the Great Wilderness, he found no trace of Dust Beasts.

Originally thought that the Great Wilderness didn’t have Dust Beasts, but now the emergence of Witch Beasts overturned his conclusion.

“Could Witch Beasts actually be Dust Beasts? But why are they just slightly stronger… No, it’s not just strength; their blood can be used to communicate with witchcraft powers, but Dust Beasts lack blood… What would happen if in the starry sky of Stellar Civilization, one uses the blood of a Witch Beast?”

Dust Beasts are essentially energy conglomerates.

Though they have body structures, they lack things like blood.

Now, species with Dust Beast structures appear, and their blood seems to communicate power of the Great Tao.

“I need to find a way to get the Witch Beast’s blood to my main body, and take it to the starry sky of Stellar Civilization for research.”

A world without transcendence can touch it through the blood. What if in the starry sky, where the transcendence isn’t suppressed, it is used?

However, a major challenge lay before him.

“This starry sky suppresses transcendence, how can the blood be sent out, can technology devices work? But the Great Wilderness seems to have destroyed technological civilization too…”

He suspected that technology might not work well in this starry sky either.

But no matter what, attempts must be made.

As it turned out, his idea was correct.

He attempted to enter this starry sky using the basic Starry Sky Battleship of Source Star, but just like his avatar, as soon as it exited the passage, the battleship quickly corroded, energy dissipated, and in an instant, it turned into scrap metal.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng was silent for a while.

“Indeed, the previous speculation was not wrong. This starry sky suppresses not only transcendence but also technology, or rather, the development of civilization…”

“And for Dust Beasts, they grow stronger with the enhancement of civilization.”

He had a premonition that the Dust Beast catastrophe in this starry sky might be even more terrifying than imagined.

“Since that’s the case, I can only continue to use the power of the Power Dojo. Now with the coordinates, it saves a lot of time, maybe I can send the blood back.”

After thinking for a while, Wang Sheng eventually created several avatars shrouded in the power of the dojo.

On the other side, the avatars in the Great Wilderness were also preparing.

The first avatar entered the starry sky, rushing to the Great Wilderness at the fastest speed, then immediately sending the container with the Witch Beast’s blood back.

Calculating the time, the second avatar immediately set off, catching the blood before the power of the first avatar dissipated.

In this way, relaying bit by bit.

Finally, Wang Sheng obtained the blood.

“Whew, it’s finally been delivered… First to the starry sky of Stellar Civilization.”

The starry sky of Stellar Civilization contained Dust Beasts.

There, utilizing runes might be the last opportunity to gain something.

“The avatar can’t be too strong, first try with a third-level avatar…”

So in the desolate area of the starry sky where Stellar Civilization is located,

Wang Sheng’s avatar solemnly began to try to engrave the runes of witchcraft cultivation onto himself.

As the runes etched stroke by stroke,

the runic light shone brightly.

In an instant, Wang Sheng’s main body was affected again.

At that moment, he once more beheld the decaying Great Tao River.

However, this time it wasn’t an illusion!
