Chapter 171
Eternal Immortality
Before Black Wind Mountain stood a massive, round figure, so excessively fat that his appearance bordered on absurdity, stationed before the gates of the Luo Family Residence.
It was the Third Fat Prince.
He stepped forward, a friendly smile spreading across his plump face, and said while looking at Zhuo Fan and the young lady Luo Yunshang:
"Brother, I came to see you."
Meanwhile, Arthur did not come out to meet him.
He was still inside, immersed in his training. He had recently mastered two new skills and had no desire to interrupt his progress now, as he sought to raise them to an even higher level.
After some time passed, Zhuo Fan and Luo Yunshang returned inside.
Zhuo Fan sat before Arthur and calmly explained what had happened.
He informed him that the Emperor had issued an official decree directed at both Zhuo Fan and Arthur.
A decree carrying a clear order that allowed no room for interpretation:
Participate in the Family War and bring down the Imperial Gate.
Zhuo Fan began explaining everything.
The Family War... as its name suggested, was an all-out conflict involving countless families.
Weak families would rise to the summit, while powerful ones would be crushed and cast into the abyss.
The war had been established under the banner of "peace."
Only those under the age of thirty were permitted to participate.
Whoever emerged victorious would become the true leader of all the remaining families.
Zhuo Fan accepted the matter without hesitation.
Arthur slightly raised his head and asked in a calm tone, as though a war that would determine countless fates meant no more to him than an ordinary day:
"Alright... when exactly does the war begin?"
Zhuo Fan replied:
"Five years from now."
A faint smile appeared on Arthur's face, while his mind had already begun planning, weaving possibilities one after another.
At that moment, a blue window appeared before him.
|The Ultimate Heaven and Hell Fusion Technique has been purchased.|
Arthur sat quietly, his eyes focused on the window.
'Cain... I have a plan, and it is—'
|You can carry it out using the Ultimate Heaven and Earth Fusion Technique,
but you must first possess a powerful demonic curse, in addition to a blessing from heaven.|
*'The heavenly blessing exists within the Miraculous Healing Elixir.
As for the demonic curse... I already possess it.'*
Arthur paused briefly before continuing:
*'Have you forgotten the Devil Fruits from the world of One Piece?
I was cursed through them.'*
|Scanning...|
|Confirmed.
The curse contained within the Devil Fruits is sufficient to execute the technique.
However, if the curse is extracted from the fruit, you will no longer benefit from it afterward.|
'Don't worry... I have a plan for that as well.'
Arthur sat before the technique and began studying it with extreme precision until he fully understood every detail.
Afterward, he took out four fruits and placed them before him.
He cut a small piece from each fruit and placed the pieces upon a strange inscription drawn across the floor.
He began chanting strange and incomprehensible words carrying an ancient and dark tone.
A powerful crimson light erupted from the ground, and the room filled with thick dust.
When things finally settled...
Arthur looked ahead and saw that he had succeeded.
The four fruits had fused into a single fruit with a dark blood-red color.
Arthur smiled calmly and placed his hand upon the new fruit.
"Drain."
In his other hand, he held an empty bottle and calmly began extracting the demonic curse from the fruit with great care and precision.
After an entire week passed...
An extremely foul odor began spreading from Arthur's room.
Everyone could smell it, yet no one dared ask questions or approach.
He had already informed them that he would enter closed-door cultivation for an entire month.
Zhuo Fan had told him that he would wait for him, but if the month passed, he would leave for his new mission alongside Elder Li Jingtian.
Inside the room...
Arthur raised the small bottle.
It was now filled with a blood-red energy, dark and blazing.
'It's done.'
This was the demonic curse, extracted calmly and precisely by Arthur without affecting the fruit's original power.
He stored the newly fused fruit away, discarded the useless remains, and shifted his focus back to the bottle before him.
He began drawing a new inscription...
But this time, he drew it with his own blood.
A massive circular formation that occupied the entire room.
After finishing, he calmly struck the formation with his palm and activated it.
"Alright... there's only one thing left."
He opened his storage and took out a body that resembled his current one, though slightly weaker.
Arthur looked at it and spoke in a low voice:
"This body... cost me a great deal to create."
This body had been crafted by his own hands.
He had previously purchased a Single-Use Body Creation Technique, a technique that could only be used once.
He bought all the necessary materials from the Heavenly Store and personally created the body.
This body was at Level 100, while his original body had already reached Level 120.
And because this body had been created by a human using an ancient technique, it possessed a fatal flaw:
It would never evolve.
It would remain at Level 100 until the day it died.
No refinement or technique would ever affect it in the future.
Arthur sighed quietly, placed his hands before his chest, and closed his eyes.
A few seconds later...
His soul slowly began leaving his original body until the body collapsed onto the floor without movement.
With Cain's assistance, his soul was transferred into the new body.
Arthur opened his eyes within the new body and looked at his original body lying beside him.
"Only a few steps remain... before the end."
he said in a calm, low voice.
He moved his original body to the center of the formation.
Then he brought out the Constellation Body, whose power he had completely drained earlier, and placed it beside it.
Two bodies now lay before Arthur.
The first...
His original body.
The second...
The Constellation Body, with its shining silver hair, originating from Kim Dokja's world.
Arthur drained every last trace of power from the Constellation Body until it reverted into a purely human body devoid of any heavenly traces.
He carefully gathered all of that power into a preservation bottle.
Afterward, Arthur placed his hand upon his original body and began draining its power as well.
Two entire weeks passed.
During that time, Arthur scarcely moved from his place.
He finally completed the process of draining the power and emptying everything from both bodies.
The draining process was slow and terrifyingly dangerous.
His current body was slightly weaker, and he was using the Blood Demon Technique on his own original body.
A single mistake, no matter how small, would have been enough to drain everything and kill the original body instantly.
Because of this, Arthur moved with absolute caution, with a precision akin to walking along the edge of a sword.
When he finally finished, he brought his hands together before his chest, closed his eyes, and began chanting strange, ancient words carrying a weight as though they came from the depths of both heaven and hell.
Afterward, a preservation bottle appeared in his right hand, filled with dark energy, dense and terrifying in its purity.
In his left hand appeared another bottle, filled with pure white energy, radiating with calm majesty.
The first...
Contained the demonic curse extracted from the fruit.
The second...
Contained the Miraculous Healing Elixir—the Blessing of Heaven.
Arthur placed the bottle containing the curse inside his original body.
He placed the bottle containing the blessing inside the Constellation Body.
(Although the Constellation Body had now become a purely human body, it would still be referred to as the Constellation Body to keep the image clear.)
A few seconds later...
A tremendous light erupted from both bodies simultaneously.
Dark light from one side.
Pure light from the other.
As though heaven and hell had collided in a single instant.
Then—
They vanished.
Arthur's original body vanished.
The Constellation Body vanished.
Only a single body remained upon the formation.
The body of a child...
No larger than a little finger.
The tiny body was saturated with a beautiful power that felt unnatural in its perfection.
A deep, dark power, yet stable and harmonious, as though it were the core of an entirely new existence.
Arthur looked at it calmly.
Without a smile.
Without agitation.
Then he spoke in a low, steady voice:
"It's finished...
All I need to do now is wait."
He fell silent for a moment before continuing:
"For four years...
And then everything will be complete,
and I will obtain the Body of Eternal Immortality."
All of this...
All of this work that had lasted nearly an entire month...
Had been nothing more than a single step.
A step to fuse the two bodies together,
for the sake of creating the Body of Eternal Immortality.
