Chapter 366 - 156: Opening the Netherworld (2)
Even a miraculous healer would be useless against it.
At this thought, the worry on Feng Zheng’s face deepened.
"I’ll go gather the members of the Observatory and see if any of them can solve this," Feng Zheng said.
Shen Bai shook his head. "There’s no time to test them one by one."
As Shen Bai spoke, the Third Prince’s face turned from pale to dark, and the look of pain in his eyes faded into a dazed confusion.
He seemed to have lost all focus, simply staring blankly ahead.
"How vicious. They want to doom us beyond redemption," Feng Zheng said, clenching his fists.
"That beast, Wang Tianxing! If I get my hands on him, I’ll grind his bones to dust!"
Just imagine, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Country only has three sons left.
If the Third Prince were to die here because of this internal assessment, the only thing awaiting Feng Zheng would be the execution of his entire family.
After all, what good was he if he couldn’t even protect a Prince?
Shen Bai would be implicated as well.
The dazed look in the Third Prince’s eyes deepened, but he clung to a sliver of clarity. "This aberration... every time it reaches a new place inside me, it destroys something," he said. "So far, the parts it’s destroyed have been useless to me, but as time goes on, I will surely die."
Only he truly understood what was happening to his body, so he explained his predicament to make the situation clear to Shen Bai and the others.
The other members of the Observatory exchanged glances, a sense of helplessness clear in their eyes.
A thought suddenly struck Feng Zheng. He turned to Shen Bai and asked, "Lord Shen, do you have a solution?"
They were completely helpless in this situation, but Shen Bai was here.
Shen Bai was known as the Six Extremes Young Master. His six special Ultimate Techniques had to be incredibly powerful, so Feng Zheng pinned all his hopes on him.
Shen Bai thought for a moment before nodding. "I can try, but there’s no guarantee of success."
’He could sense that the aberration inside the Third Prince wasn’t actually that strong. It was just extremely unusual and, being inside the body, incredibly difficult to deal with.’
But Shen Bai had thought of a Divine Power that might solve their current predicament.
Feng Zheng nodded hurriedly. "Please, Lord Shen, hurry. I don’t think the Third Prince can hold on for much longer."
Just then, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of the Third Prince’s mouth. He looked as if he could collapse at any second.
Without another word, Shen Bai drew Cold Moon from his waist.
The move startled everyone. They didn’t understand why Shen Bai would do such a thing.
But no one moved. All eyes were fixed on Shen Bai.
After a moment’s consideration, Shen Bai placed Cold Moon against the Third Prince’s wrist and made a shallow slice.
The moment the razor-sharp blade of Cold Moon touched the Third Prince’s wrist, blood began to well up.
Fortunately, the Third Prince was a Cultivator himself, so the bleeding was minimal and already showed signs of slowly healing and stopping.
Shen Bai had no time to waste. He raised his index finger and pressed it against the wound on the Third Prince’s wrist.
The Third Prince immediately frowned as a jolt of pain shot up from his wrist, but he stared ahead with dazed eyes and endured it.
At that moment, Shen Bai circulated the Qi in his body and activated his Life and Death Storage Skill.
The next moment, a hairline crack appeared in the air at the point where Shen Bai’s finger met the Prince’s skin.
As the crack appeared, it radiated a profound and mysterious aura.
Everyone present watched this, their curiosity piqued.
This was the method Shen Bai had devised.
He had just conducted an Investigation of the Third Prince’s body. Using conventional methods, the problem was impossible to solve unless one could somehow shrink down and enter his system.
Since the aberration couldn’t be dealt with internally, he would have to draw it out.
He just needed to extract the aberration from the Third Prince’s body.
But how to extract it was the crucial question.
And so, after careful consideration, Shen Bai had finally settled on this Divine Power: the Life and Death Storage Skill.
Through Shen Bai’s intense training, his Life and Death Storage Skill had already undergone its first qualitative transformation.
All of its Attributes had reached +4.
A +4 might not seem like much, but the aberration inside the Third Prince wasn’t very powerful either.
At this thought, the crack at Shen Bai’s fingertip widened slightly.
Feng Zheng and the others saw this, and a look of envy appeared on each of their faces.
It was a Space-element Cultivation Technique, something extremely rare in the entire Great Zhou Country. For Shen Bai to possess one was simply unbelievable.
’Just how many other special abilities does he have?’
The astonishing thought echoed in everyone’s mind.
They couldn’t comprehend it, but they made no effort to hide their envy.
’Perhaps the title "Six Extremes Young Master" wasn’t just for show. Shen Bai must have earned it with his own two fists,’ Feng Zheng thought.
The more he thought about it, the more highly he regarded Shen Bai—and the more jealous he became of Liu Wufeng.
After all, Liu Wufeng had hit the jackpot by discovering such a talent.
Shen Bai, however, paid no mind to the reactions of those around him. He was focused on the Manipulation of his Life and Death Storage Skill.
The crack generated a Suction Power. Shen Bai had already completely mastered this Divine Power; for him, using the Life and Death Storage Skill was as natural as pointing a finger.
With a mere thought, he could direct the Life and Death Storage Skill to seek out specific targets and pull them in, even sorting them by category.
If he couldn’t control it, Shen Bai would never have used this Divine Power. After all, if the skill sucked out everything indiscriminately—draining the Third Prince of all his blood in an instant, for example—the Prince would be doomed.
