Counterattack System appeared when I m already At The Mahayana Realm

Chapter 618: Chapter 617: Walking into a Trap

“And then, the beasts went mad, losing their sanity and tearing the truce agreement apart. The two factions went to war, and all humans changed their cultivation strategy, becoming body cultivators in kind.”

“There isn’t much wrong with the body cultivation methods that you have gathered, it’s just that they are somewhat crude compared to the orthodox body cultivators.”

“Ever since records began, the soul returns to the earth after death, so the people here do not see any issues with this method of handling the body after death.”

“It appears that the two main questions now are, where did the Body Integration Realm cultivators go to and why do souls dissolve into the earth.”

Steward Fang frowned, stumped for an answer.

Suddenly, an ancient voice rang out, “You don’t understand? Let me tell you why.”

“Who is it!” Steward Fang shot up from his seat. This voice was ethereal and elusive, and had somehow eluded his Divine Sense.

“I am the Body Integration Realm cultivator you’ve been looking for. You wanted to find me, so here I am.” An old man with a hunched back slowly appeared in front of everyone.

It was then that everyone realised that the library was completely empty, except for them.

“I noticed you all when you first arrived. Tell me, how did you get here? Teach me, and I may spare your lives!”, the old man revealed a greedy look.

He had not expected that his plan of letting a group of humans die in the dense forest would bring him an unexpected surprise.

A Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator had brought a few Golden Core Stage disciples here, according to their conversation, they seemed to be from another world.

Excellent, I can finally leave this godforsaken place.”

His lifespan was now exhausted, and he needed to find precious materials to prolong his life. His world no longer had anything that he could consume.

“Spare our lives? You needn’t be so aggressive, sir,” Steward Fang placed his hand behind his back, gripping his summoning talisman.

“Heh, there’s no need to be polite when the strong speak to the weak. I am showing the biggest mercy by sparing your lives,” the old man declared murderously. In his time, the weak should contribute their valuables to the strong—there’s no sense in arguing about it.

Steward Fang realised that the old man had no intention of letting them live.

As expected, no matter how cautious you are, you can’t detect when a higher level cultivator is watching you.

Steward Fang considered that he had done nothing wrong, but who could have foreseen that the place they arrived at would be within the Divine Sense range of a Body Integration Realm cultivator.

How is this for luck?

The disciples realised the gravity of the situation and felt a cold chill run down their spines. They were born in a peaceful era and had never been tested by life and death.

They ventured out with a playful attitude, never expecting to encounter danger.

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu didn’t forget that they were at the Golden Core Stage; as per etiquette, they were supposed to be trembling right now.

So the two of them trembled like sieves.

“What’s that in your hand? A talisman to escape?”

The old man reached out, a suction force appearing from his palm that pulled the summoning talisman over, and then he tore it to pieces, laughing ferociously: “Escaping won’t be so easy!”

But what the old man didn’t know was that the way to use the summoning talisman was to tear it.

A halo of light appeared in front of the old man, and a voice came from the other end of the light, “I want to see who dares bully the people of our Spirit Plant Sect.”

A green-robed cultivator appeared in front of everyone, full of vitality. Where his footsteps departed, fresh flowers and tender grass grew.

“Sect Master!” Steward Fang and the other disciples rejoiced.

The Spirit Plant Sect Master, a mid-term Body Integration Realm cultivator.

Steward Fang quickly explained the situation through Divine Sense.

“You’re in the early stages of Body Integration, your vitality is declining, and your lifespan is drying up. You’re at the end of your path, yet you want to kill and seize our Spirit Plant Sect members’ treasures, thinking that our Sect is defenseless?” The Sect Master of the Spirit Plant Sect was furious. With a fierce glare from his eyes, and releasing the aura of the Body Integration realm, his robust vitality made the old man retreat three steps.

The old man had never seen another Body Integration cultivator, and he didn’t expect there to be such a big difference between those in the same realm.

The old man was rude to the Spirit Plant Sect disciples, and the Sect Master did not intend to be polite to the old man either.

“Tree rise.”

A towering tree sprang up from the ground, lifting the entire library. The Sect Master of the Spirit Plant Sect did not want the battle to affect the common people.

“Azure Style!” The Sect Master of the Spirit Plant Sect drew his sword and swept out a green Sword Qi.

The old man instinctively resisted, only to find this Sword Qi could absorb his already limited life energy, frightening him into dodging it quickly.

Upon acquiring life energy, the green Sword Qi seemed to come to life, transforming into a flying dragon and attacking the old man.

The Sect Master of the Spirit Plant Sect threw a seed that landed on the old man, sprouting roots.

The old man used a fire spell to burn off the green sprouts on his body.

Cold sweat dripped down his face. His opponent’s methods were insidious and hard to guard against.

“Luo Zhi has not lost his demonic touch,” Bai Hongtu muttered quietly on the side.

Luo Zhi is the Sect Master of the Spirit Plant Sect. Born into a demonic family some six hundred years ago, he exhibited extraordinary talent at birth, proficient in demonic techniques that absorb life energy, bringing great joy to his family.

Luo Zhi’s family was later eradicated by the old Human Emperor, who, upon seeing Luo Zhi’s youth and innocence, decided to spare him.

The Supreme Elder Zhang Sen of Spirit Plant Sect was also present and suggested adopting Luo Zhi.

Luo Zhi flourished in Spirit Plant Sect, where he cultivated trees and obtained life energy, which he used for fighting. He was a rare fighting cultivator in Spirit Plant Sect.

In his demonic family, Luo Zhi experienced a cold world of vested interests. But in Spirit Plant Sect, he experienced warmth, and saw everyone in the sect as his family.

Now that his fellow sect members were threatened in a foreign world, he didn’t mind showcasing his rage through his demonic abilities.

The old man had no means to fight back against Luo Zhi, he was badly injured and vomiting blood, with his life force rapidly declining.

The old man revealed half of his broken teeth with a crow-like laughter, “My lord will certainly adore your strong life force.”

Luo Zhi was unfazed. He threw two seeds, which instantly grew into two large spears, piercing through the old man’s shoulders.

The thrusts of the large spears, mighty and powerful, carried the old man into the universe.

Suddenly, the spears stopped, as if lodged in the boundary of the universe.

The boundary of the universe squirmed, secreting some unknown substance, which began to dissolve the spears.

“I told you, my lord will like you.” The old man laughed as he drew life energy from the unknown fluid secreted by the “universe boundary”.

Luo Zhi frowned, sensing something was amiss. He expanded his Divine Sense and shuddered.

This place was not the universe at all, they were all inside the stomach of a colossal creature.

Should anyone shift their view further away, they would see a gigantic beast lying in the universe, grinding its teeth with the shattered stars around it.

And within the stomach of this colossal beast, a world unto itself thrives with life; battles between humans and cruel monsters took place, with survivors continuing to live and the defeated being absorbed by the stomach of the beast.

What Steward Fang and others thought to be the earth was actually the stomach lining of this creature!

“A cosmic creature?” Luo Zhi identified the origin of the gigantic beast.
