Chapter 340: Chapter 340: 11th Emissary of Divine Blood.

Li Feng stared in shock at the grotesque half-figure.

“Is this guy even human anymore…” he murmured.

He had already crushed the man’s head and heart, yet again and again, this monster simply refused to die.

Suddenly—

[Ding!]

[Star Ignition state has ended!]

With that notification,

The silvery light surrounding Li Feng flickered softly and then vanished.

The overwhelming aura that had been pressing the surrounding air, suddenly shrinking back into his body.

The crackling arcs of lightning also disappeared, as his terrifying two hundred stars rapidly diminished back to one hundred.

Li Feng frowned slightly as he looked down at his palm, feeling his strength growing weaker and weaker.

But then he flexed his fingers, and clenched them tightly.

“It doesn’t matter… I can still kill him even with this much.”

In the distance, Yan Moxuan’s lower half stood upright… just a pair of legs clad in tattered robes, standing there unnaturally.

Then—

…Shhhhk.

Something burst forth from the severed waist.

…A writhing blood red tentacle shot out, twisting in the air like a parasite being reveal from it host.

…Shhhhk!

…Shhhhk!

…Shhhhk!

Suddenly more thick, crimson tendrils followed, surging violently from the wound.

They slithered and coiled together in mid-air like living threads being pulled from some unseen abyss.

Li Feng’s eyes narrowed at the grotesque sight.

“…What the hell”

The tendrils didn’t stop.

They multiplied rapidly as dozens… then hundreds of crimson strands surged upward, intertwining and weaving together in a grotesque, pulsating mass.

Soon, flesh began to crawled into existence as bone structures assembled themselves one by one with sickening precision along with meridians stretched and connected like glowing veins of energy.

And finally the organs took shape.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

A soft heartbeat echoed unnaturally loud in the silent tower.

In just a few breaths—

A torso, arms, neck and finally a head formed perfectly once more.

Yan Moxuan stood there whole again, his body flawless and renewed.

He tilted his head slightly, movements stiff at first, then smoothing out as if he were getting used to this new form.

“…So this is ’Immortality’ huh,” Yan Moxuan murmured, looking down at his perfect body.

Then he grinned as a strange, satisfied smile spreading across his face.

“…I should have accepted it sooner.”

Yan Moxuan turned his gaze toward Li Feng in the distance, his newly formed face twisted with manic excitement.

“Haha, Li Feng! I’m glad you could witness my rebirth! And thanks to you, I have finally obtained immortality!”

But Li Feng just sneered at the ecstatic declaration.

“You call that immortality?”

He looked at the grotesque figure with clear disdain.

“…That’s not living. You look more like a parasite wearing a human skin. Whatever you’ve become… you stopped being human a long time ago.”

At his words, Yan Moxuan just chuckled, the sound low and unnatural.

“Human? Such a small, fragile concept… Why would I cling to something so weak?”

His blood-red eyes locked onto Li Feng.

…Within those void-like pupils, something else seemed to be staring back… ancient, cold, and hungry.

“I was once bound by flesh… by limits… by the fear of death…”

He slowly raised his hand, flexing his fingers and admiring the way the muscles moved… too smooth and too perfect.

“Now?”

A faint crackling sound echoed beneath his skin as the crimson vein-like lines pulsed like something crawling.

“I have none!!”

Li Feng’s frown deepened.

He could sense the terrifying shift in Yan Moxuan’s presence.

What had once been arrogant human qi was now something far colder… far older.

…Like an ancient abyss pretending to wear a familiar face.

Suddenly, Yan Moxuan tilted his head upward, as if listening to a voice only he could hear.

“Oh? I see… Yes, I know…”

He looked back at Li Feng and smiled.

“Enough chit-chat. I’m dying to repay the humiliation you gave me…”

His tongue flicked across his lips, leaving a faint crimson trail.

“….and someone else is quite impatient.”

With those words, Yan Moxuan condensed a sharp crimson sword made of blood and slashed forward.

SLASH!!

A crescent of blood-red light tore through the air, screaming toward Li Feng like a blade forged from hatred itself.

The space along its path warped violently, leaving faint distortions as if reality had been sliced open.

Li Feng’s eyes sharpened.

He sent a quick mental command to the Divine Brick.

’Protect Yue Lan’s cocoon at all costs!’

Then, instead of dodging, he stepped forward.

BOOM!!

His foot crushed into the ground as he drove his fist forward to meet the attack head-on.

Silver lightning burst forth once more.

“Star Impact!”

BANG!!!

The crimson arc collided violently with his fist.

For a split second, everything froze.

Then—

CRACKK!!

The blood-red slash shattered like fragile glass as fragments of blood energy exploded outward before dissolving into mist mid-air.

But—

Li Feng’s expression suddenly changed.

“…!”

The red fragments didn’t fade away.

Instead, they wriggled violently in the air, then shot back toward him like needles.

Li Feng’s eyes widened as the scattered crimson shards twisted mid-air like parasites, reversing direction with unnatural speed.

SPURT!

He raised his arm to block, but the thin red lines still sliced into his flesh.

“Ugh!”

Then he could feel a burning sensation instantly spread through the wounds, as if acid was eating into his flesh and meridians.

[Warning: ███████ Corruption Detected!]

[Foreign energy attempting to invade the host!]

However, the Starforge Body sensed the invasion immediately.

All one hundred stars inside him flared brightly at once to expel the intruder.

[Ding!]

[Starforge Body has successfully expelled the corruption!]

A wave of pure silver star energy surged violently through his meridians, burning away the acidic blood threads that had begun burrowing deeper.

And the searing pain in his arm vanished in an instant, replaced by a refreshing coolness.

Yan Moxuan frowned slightly as he felt his “Divine Blood” disappear.

His head tilted slightly, the void in his eyes swirling faster, as if the “guest” inside him was also surprised.

He looked at Li Feng with renewed interest.

’It seems there is something special inside him…’
