Torment

Mu Shen's body burst into tiny shiny flaming particles. 

However, his original body was sixteen meters away, already pierced through with blood dripping out from the opening, his eyes filled with fear and coldness.

The being of pure death stared at Mu Shen and suddenly smiled that it was terrifying. 

"Another reason to kill you! Isn't that the Four shadows incarnation Technique?" 

The being of pure death stared at Mu Shen with interest. 

"It means, you've already entered the thirteenth floor and collected all of the jade slips there." 

There was chilling silence. 

"It also means that you have the heavenly Skywheel technique— it is both legendary and invincible." 

From where Qiu Puyu stood, his eyes turned cold and chilling. What was the main point of coming to this trial anyways? It was to claim the legendary Technique. But in the end, it has fallen under Mu Shen's control. 

Hatred spiked tremendously and his eyes turned red with bloodlust despite having brushed side by side with a death being. 

It even made Qiu wonder. 

What other techniques have Mu Shen obtained? None of the cultivators have reached the thirteenth floor except Mu Shen and the trial was given a span of four weeks which should almost be over. 

"Damnation…" 

The being of pure death tried to walk towards the main body of Mu Shen but Mu Shen manifested all four bodies, instantly switching whenever he felt a sudden chill. 

"You can't keep switching bodies forever. You'd eventually run out of energy and I'd finally get to kill you." 

The massive scythe flashed and striked at the body which the being of pure death had thought Mu Shen's real body would be but— 

When the Scythe pierced it, there was only a shower of light. 

The four shadows incarnation is just as lethal and tricky as the being of pure death's horrifying scythe. It needed calculation and precise thinking to find the actual body but that does not stop the fact of Mu Shen actually switching to the other bodies at intervals.

Qiu Puyu immediately appeared before the being of pure death. 

"Let's team up! I can find his real body and you'd simply strike him dead. That is definitely my only wish, to kill Mu Shen." 

Chills immediately crawled Mu Shen's spine. 

'Fuck, can Qiu not just reveal himself just yet?' 

The worst part is that Qiu Puyu just happened to know the weakness and flaws of many Techniques. Perhaps, it is also a technique that he possesses— to detect flaws. It was not for certain though.

The being of pure death stared deeply at Qiu Puyu and said: "Be careful of what you wish for." 

Qiu Puyu did not think about what the being of pure death had said, instead he glared at Mu Shen and said. 

"Four shadows incarnation does not quickly replace the main body, it takes like two seconds to swap and Mu Shen sure has brains to calculate two seconds before you attack every incarnation and he would jump to the next body. If you can be two seconds faster, you'll target him." 

Mu Shen's eyes instantly flared, glistening with bloodlust. 'This guy has got to die!' 

The being of pure death was suddenly excited. "Become two seconds faster? I can definitely do that. How about this!"

The scythe suddenly moved under one second instantly striking Mu Shen's body before it would switch to the next incarnation. 

Blood spilled and Mu Shen cursed. 

After a moment, Mu Shen asked:

"Tell me about the restoration technique!" 

The being of pure death sneered: "You'll have to find out in hell." 

He moved in a blur, suddenly appearing before Mu Shen then his scythe piercing into Mu Shen's body and shooting right out of his back. 

Mu Shen let out a startling scream before the two seconds switch occurred, by then a massive damage had already been done. 

The being of pure death was just like the devil's incarnate, torturing and tormenting Mu Shen instead of giving him a quick death. 

"I know that hurts, but I believe this method would help you realize." 

Mu Shen's eyes was teary. 

The paint was just too much to bear, but as a cultivator, he gritted his teeth and smiled with his bloodied teeth in full display. 

"I can heal up in an instant with the restoration technique. Do you doubt that?" 

The being of pure death was suddenly infuriated and he waved his hands, his dark cloak suddenly going afloat in the air. 

The air changing drastically. 

The void bending all the way to the other side and breaking simultaneously which unleashed spatial turbulence. 

"Face the terror of my true power!"

Mu Shen's face was immediately drained of all color. 

"Fuck!!!" 

Then a blinding light covered Mu Shen's body from head to toe. And instantly, all of the injuries on Mu Shen's body healed. 

The restoration technique is not supposed to work with Mu Shen's weak body, but after transferring the components of the black clad figure into his own body, his body's anatomy and structure had changed automatically.

And also, the reason why Mu Shen could not immediately use the skill is because, the restoration needed grave damages towards the body to restore all other damages. 

Needing damages for health, almost like give and take. Although all injuries would be healed, the pain alone is already an ugly scar.

The being of pure death was not happy. Mu Shen was using the Technique that it had wanted to kill him for. And it seem as if there had not been a damage done to him.

Frowning, he charged forward as the Scythe rotated. 

Then, the heavenly Skywheel Technique manifested instantly clashing with the scythe in a furious frenzy. 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! 

Something shattered and Mu Shen's body was blasted by an unfathomable strength. 

Qiu Puyu backed away, his face pale. 

Mu Shen was just so tough. How on earth had he recovered instantly from those grave injuries? He did not understand and now, that legendary Technique was being used in his front. 

But then, Mu Shen's eyes widened in horror. 

The being of pure death raised his hands and everything around him folded. Space, void, existence… even the reality around him ruptured. 

"Interstellar dimensional technique holds everything. It controls reality, the reality of the world, all of existence how can you survive? This is my own way of showing you hell on earth." 

Mu Shen's pupils shrank rapidly.
