Chapter 1258: Godly Man

Chapter 1258: Sheng Ren

"Niu Niu... Niu Shisan?" Wu San Pao and Taiyi Zhenren's eyes widened, their expressions changing dramatically. It was as if ten thousand wild horses were stampeding through their minds.

"Isn't this more disgusting than eating shit?" Ye Chen said with a deep sigh.

"I..." The two men started to speak, but their stomachs churned violently. They both doubled over, spewing out all the wine they'd just drunk, followed by one heap of food after another.

"Thankfully, I got here early." Ye Chen said meaningfully. If he'd arrived even an hour or two later, one of them, Wu San Pao or Taiyi Zhenren, might have ended up with the reincarnated Niu Shisan.

"What a scene!" Ye Chen clicked his tongue, the thought alone stirring a fresh urge to vomit. After over a hundred years of cultivation, he couldn't imagine anything more revolting.

"This is freaking cursed... Ugh!" Wu San Pao muttered before vomiting again.

"Might as well eat shit... Ugh!" Taiyi Zhenren's face turned beet red as he forced out the words, only to vomit even more.

The two of them were acting as if they'd actually eaten shit.

One shocking twist after another—it was unbelievable.

Reincarnation was a shock, Niu Shisan that jerk reincarnating as a woman was an even bigger shock, and the biggest shock of all was that they had both fallen for her. Not long ago, they'd been brawling over her.

Just as Ye Chen said, it was a good thing he arrived early. If he'd been late by even an hour or two, things would have been mortifyingly awkward. Thinking about Niu Shisan's past life made them vomit again.

Ye Chen sighed and glanced up at the void.

Who would have thought a man could reincarnate as a woman? It was beyond his expectations.

Thinking about it, it was truly awkward, and utterly disgusting, worse than eating shit.

In the void above, the woman in green robes, still bound, watched Wu San Pao and Taiyi Zhenren retching and was completely baffled. Am I that ugly? Is that why you're so disgusted?

Suddenly, a beam of immortal light shot from Ye Chen's fingertip, streaking through the void and entering her brow.

Ugh!

The woman in green robes trembled, her face turning pale as she began to groan in pain.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen had already pulled out two cotton balls and stuffed them into his own ears.

Soon after, the woman stopped trembling. She regained her past life's memories and her original name: Niu Shisan.

Niu Shisan was still in a daze. She looked at Ye Chen, glanced at Wu San Pao and Taiyi Zhenren who were still vomiting, and finally turned her gaze to herself.

Damn!

A fierce, howling roar echoed through the void, powerful enough to shake the heavens and collapse mountains in all directions.

Ugh!

Hearing Niu Shisan's voice, Wu San Pao and Taiyi Zhenren doubled over again.

Ugh!

Niu Shisan started vomiting too. Ye Chen pulled her down from the void, and the three of them stood there, heads bowed, throwing up side by side.

As before, it was a good thing Ye Chen arrived early—otherwise, what followed would have been utterly absurd. Just imagining what might have happened on the bed gave them all the feeling of having eaten crap.

You jerk!

As they vomited, Wu San Pao and Taiyi Zhenren lunged at Niu Shisan, pinning her to the ground. Anyone watching might have thought they were about to assault her—after all, she was still in a woman's body right now.

Ah!

Screams that could shake heaven and earth erupted from the mountaintop.

Wu San Pao and Taiyi Zhenren didn't hold back, beating her while cursing up a storm. You bastard! You could have reincarnated as a dog or something—why did you have to become a woman and gross us out like this?

Wow!

The scene was too bloody. Ye Chen backed away to a safe distance. Here was a perfectly fine woman being beaten beyond recognition, with no pity in sight—as if they wouldn't stop until she was a pulp.

Before long, Niu Shisan's yuan shen escaped her body, taking on the form of her past life.

As for her female body now—it was just a mess.

What a waste!

Ye Chen grimaced. A woman's body like that could still be useful on a bed, though it might feel a bit off.

Ugh!

Hearing Ye Chen's words, the three of them grimaced. This guy is a real shen ren. What are you thinking? Planning to defile a corpse? If you took her to bed, could you even bring yourself to drop your pants?

Night fell, and the three finally sat down—well, Niu Shisan was floating in the air, still in yuan shen form.

You jerk!

Wu San Pao and Taiyi Zhenren glared at Niu Shisan with red eyes. You played with our feelings! We reincarnated, you reincarnated, but you had to become a woman? So shameless.

Niu Shisan's expression wasn't any better—her face was as black as charcoal.

Ye Chen stroked his chin, a strange thought crossing his mind: Had the female version of Niu Shisan been with any male cultivators? If so, that would be eye-searing.

What are you thinking?

Ye Chen scratched his head and pulled a body from his Hun Dun Ding, tossing it to Niu Shisan.

Nonsense!

Niu Shisan grumbled and entered the body.

But even in this new body, Niu Shisan looked awkward. With a century of memories as a woman, her every move was overly feminine—that orchid finger gesture was something else!

Disgusting!

Wu San Pao and Taiyi Zhenren cursed and nearly vomited again.

Get lost!

Niu Shisan's voice boomed.

It wasn't until late at night that they finally calmed down. Each holding a wine jug, they gazed up at the ethereal starry sky, reminiscing about their absurd past adventures and the familiar faces from their previous lives. Their eyes grew somber with age and experience.

For some reason, as they watched, a star fell from the sky, tracing a brilliant streak of light through the night.

Looking closer, it wasn't a star at all—it was a figure plummeting down.

Bang!

A thunderous crash echoed as a distant mountain peak collapsed.

What the hell?

Wu San Pao and Niu Shisan jumped to their feet.

Yan Laodao!

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. The falling figure was none other than Yan Chi Xia, who had fought alongside him to save Da Chu Huang Yan.

As the thought crossed his mind, Ye Chen started to rise, but after taking a step, he suddenly looked back at the vast sky—there was another figure.

It was a man in black robes, like a shadow or a ghost in the dark night, exuding a terrifying pressure.

It's him!

Ye Chen frowned. Wasn't this the same black shadow who had chased him during Si Tu Nan's tribulation? A Sheng Ren from Sen Luo Hall, and not just any Sheng Ren—he was at Sheng Dao Level Nine.

A Sheng Ren!

Niu Shisan and the others paled, sensing the black shadow's presence.

Come back!

Ye Chen pulled the three into his Hun Dun Shen Ding and dashed toward where Yan Laodao had fallen.

By then, Yan Laodao had staggered to his feet, covered in blood and severely wounded. Parts of his body exposed stark white bones, and the most horrifying sight was the gaping wound in his chest.

Can you escape?

The black shadow arrived, standing in the void with a mocking expression, his eyes flickering with an eerie light as he looked down at Yan Laodao. A powerful pressure descended, enveloping the entire void—it was overwhelmingly strong.

Thud!

Yan Laodao, who had just steadied himself, was forced to spit blood and kneel on one knee.

"Hand it over!" The black shadow chuckled eerily. "Maybe I'll let you die quickly."

"Never." Yan Laodao growled coldly, forcing his qi and blood to gather as he slapped a blood-red dao fu on his brow. The dao fu emitted immortal light, merging into his forehead and forming an ancient shen wen. As it appeared, his aura surged, even surprising the black shadow.

"You're asking for it." The black shadow struck down with a palm, heavy as a mountain. Before it even landed, the ground began to crack.

Yan Laodao looked manic, holding his sword upright and smearing it with blood as he chanted incantations. Centered on him, numerous infant-sized fu wen emerged, arranging themselves into a Jiu Gong Ba Gua formation.

Break!

With a sharp command from Yan Laodao, he thrust his sword toward the void.

The Jiu Gong Ba Gua shot upward, colliding with the black shadow's descending palm.

Boom!

The void trembled as both the palm and the formation shattered.

The black shadow was surprised again, but Yan Laodao's body cracked open. Blocking a strike from a Sheng Dao Level Nine expert was an achievement in itself.

Die!

The black shadow lost his patience, pointing from the air. The attack turned into a divine light, hurtling straight for Yan Laodao's brow.

Damn it!

Yan Laodao gritted his teeth and staggered back. The divine light had locked onto him—he knew he couldn't dodge or withstand it. This was a killing blow aimed at his yuan shen, beyond his power to resist.

But at that moment, a hand landed on his shoulder from behind, pulling him away.

Ye Chen had arrived, yanking Yan Laodao behind him and blocking the path. He used the Tai Xu Dong secret technique to divert the divine light into a spatial black hole.

However, the black shadow was at Sheng Dao Level Nine—his attack wasn't so easily neutralized. The Tai Xu Dong technique held for less than a second before exploding.

Ye Chen suffered backlash, blood spilling from his mouth.

Thank you, dao friend!

Yan Laodao wiped the blood from his lips and stared at Ye Chen in astonishment. He never expected an Huang Jing cultivator to block a strike from a Sheng Dao Level Nine expert.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen was cloaked in black robes, wearing a Gui Ming mask, and had concealed his techniques with Zhou Tian evolution. Even with Yan Laodao's insight, he couldn't see through Ye Chen's true appearance.

Ye Chen didn't respond, instead fixing his gaze on the void. The black shadow had locked onto him—if he tried to escape, he'd face a thunderous kill.

"You're quite something." The black shadow's mocking, ethereal voice echoed from the void. "Blocking my strike and surviving—among Huang Jing cultivators, you're only the second."

"Then who's the first?" Ye Chen asked, eyeing the black shadow with interest.

At those words, the black shadow's face darkened instantly. Thinking of the first one who had blocked his strike and made him look foolish multiple times filled him with killing intent.

Little did he know, the first Huang Jing cultivator to survive his strike was the very same Ye Chen standing before him—he just hadn't recognized him.

"Can you borrow a technique from Tian Jie?" Ye Chen asked Yan Laodao via voice transmission, all while keeping his eyes on the black shadow.

"You know I can borrow techniques?" Yan Laodao looked at Ye Chen in surprise.

"Cut the crap—can you or can't you?"
