Chapter 1050: Chapter 94: Where Is the Path to Immortality (56) — Uncertain Fate
Sure, here’s the translation of the provided Chinese text into English:

After this hand stretched out, it began struggling to break through the surrounding soil. Daoist Bai Jie saw this and hurried over, using Taoist magic art to loosen the soil under the ancient tree!
Only to see a young Taoist quickly climb out from the pit, greedily breathing in the surrounding air.
The young Taoist quickly looked around, “Senior Bai Jie… what, what exactly happened? Why was I buried? And what about that monster from the Vermilion Bird Clan!!”
Daoist Bai Jie was taken aback, “You… you don’t know?”
The young Taoist shook his head, “That monster from the Vermilion Bird Clan suddenly charged at me, but for some reason, I suddenly lost consciousness. Then… when I came back to my senses, I found myself buried underground and saw you, president.”
Daoist Bai Jie furrowed his brows.
This young fellow, he recognized him.
At first, upon discovering the bodies of this young fellow’s master and another monster from the Vermilion Bird Clan, a conflict between the parties ensued.
However, both he and Qu Xinghe, the Priestess of the Vermilion Bird Clan, intervened together, knocking both parties unconscious… Could it be that this young fellow survived purely by the stroke of an uncertain fate?
“Presi-president, what… what is that?” At this moment, the young Taoist saw a series of graves behind Daoist Bai Jie and couldn’t help but ask with a trembling voice.
“These are all…” Daoist Bai Jie said bitterly, “Your seniors and fellow practitioners, their bodies have perished and their souls dispersed in Taoism.”
“What!” The young Taoist was shocked.
Boom—!
Suddenly, a red light shot from the forest—at the instant it appeared, Daoist Bai Jie’s expression changed slightly, and he grabbed the young Taoist’s arm, narrowly avoiding the attack.
[Discovered]
An icy cold voice.
At this moment, Daoist Bai Jie’s expression changed dramatically as a figure appeared swiftly through the shadows of the trees, standing in front of Daoist Bai Jie and the young Taoist!
It’s that thing!
“W-what is this!” The young Taoist was extremely terrified at this moment.
“This is the culprit that butchered the Dao Monsters from the graves.” Daoist Bai Jie took a deep breath, “This is just one of them, there are many of them… Young fellow, you better seize the opportunity when it arises.”
The entity before him… Gaia’s gaze locked onto Daoist Bai Jie, slowly raising a gun attached to its arm.
That sharp and terrifying light shot out once again, and like before, these beams scattered instantaneously, not only were they powerful but also agile!
Daoist Bai Jie hurriedly summoned an octagonal copper mirror, blocking the ining beams one by one. Just the impact from the explosions was unbelievably massive, causing the young Taoist to be thrown aside by the sheer force!
At this point, Gaia raised another arm… this time, two guns fired simultaneously!
Daoist Bai Jie thought to himself, ‘this is bad,’ didn’t have time for anything but to throw the copper mirror directly—the mirror shot from Daoist Bai Jie’s hand and flew straight to the young Taoist’s position!
Bang bang—!!
The beams from Gaia’s guns fired again, covering a radius of several meters!
Facing this dense beam attack, golden light emanated from both of Daoist Bai Jie’s hands—he dashed into the beam range, remarkably swatting at them with his hands!
Boom boom boom boom—!!!
The beams beat by Daoist Bai Jie’s palm were instantly twisted, then scattered to one side!
He managed to take on a round of shots.
“President!” The young Taoist was both surprised and joyful.
Daoist Bai Jie glanced around… and furrowed his brows upon realizing that the young fellow hadn’t been hit at all.
Daoist Bai Jie’s mind raced… Could it be that this peculiar thing doesn’t consider the young fellow a target?
But why could this be?
Is it perhaps because the young fellow never touched anything here? That must be it! The young fellow was knocked out from the start, so he wasn’t involved in the subsequent gathering.
With Daoist Bai Jie cultivating to the Hundred Calamities level, his memory was incredibly powerful. He now reminded himself of that moment—and finally realized that there was no battle puppet-like entity standing next to the young fellow at that time.
“What’s your name?” Daoist Bai Jie cautiously faced Gaia while asking quickly with a side turn.
“Jiang Zuo!”
“Jiang Zuo. You lucky little one, maybe you… can survive.” Daoist Bai Jie took a deep breath, suddenly his eyes sparkled brightly, his palm pushed Jiang Zuo away!
A tremendous airflow burst forth at that moment, flipping Jiang Zuo over—sending him soaring into the forest, pletely out of his expectations!
But Gaia, at this moment, made no move, not even glancing at Jiang Zuo, who was being sent away.
“Indeed.” Daoist Bai Jie took a deep breath—Jiang Zuo was not the target of this terrifying entity.
So…
Daoist Bai Jie deeply regarded Gaia, slowly saying, “It’s time to settle our Daoist Association’s debts.”
Gaia remained motionless, the purple pupils flickering continuously.
Daoist Bai Jie performed a peculiar breathing technique, his chest fluctuating—suddenly, his body began rapidly expanding!
It wasn’t just simple inflation; his muscles were rapidly growing, and they grew so much that they exceeded the capacity of his Taoist robe, bursting the upper half of the robe!
From a withered old man, he transformed in an instant into an extraordinarily burly man!
Simultaneously, several strands of golden light flickered across Daoist Bai Jie’s body—the top of his head adorned with a peculiar cover, carved with nine dragons spewing Samadhi True Fire, transforming into nine Flame Dragons, endlessly hovering around Daoist Bai Jie!
On either side of him stood a mirrored surface, one black and one white!
In each of his hands, he wielded ancient swords, the left inscribed with ‘Zhan Xian’ and the right with ‘Yin and Yang.’
[Danger level rising, output mode adjusted… Annihilate.]
Gaia’s purple eyes flickered, simultaneously raising the guns on both arms, two broader beams firing at the same time!
Daoist Bai Jie’s eyes sparkled fiercely, yelling: “Yin Yang Mirror!!”
Only to see the black mirror directly blocking Daoist Bai Jie, the two beams were absorbed by this black mirror!
Daoist Bai Jie swung his arm wielding the Yin and Yang Sword fiercely, the white mirror shot forth!
Splitting into two, transforming into four, and four into eight, within moments it changed into sixty-four mirror images surrounding Gaia!
Meanwhile, from the black mirror, two beams suddenly shot out!
Those beams penetrated into two of the white mirror images!
The white mirror emitted two beams—sixty-four white mirror surfaces continually reflecting and refracting!
Boom—!!
Ultimately, those beams reflected onto Gaia!
Dust billowed, but Daoist Bai Jie did not relax a bit, gripping dual swords, focusing as he suddenly saw a figure charging out from the dust!
Gaia!
At this point, Gaia’s guns on both arms had transformed once again, the arms morphing into sharp blades, sprinting towards Daoist Bai Jie pasted to the ground!
Clang clang clang clang!!!
The clash between the two produced the constant ringing of metal against metal, swift beyond the limits of eyesight!
Facing Gaia, Daoist Bai Jie didn’t fall behind, rather secretly suppressing the enemy!
But Daoist Bai Jie knew at this moment he couldn’t maintain the fight for long… because there was more than just one of these entities!
His mana was as boundless as the sea, flowing with immense power, remarkably forming substantial ripples, the golden mana bursts as blazing fire from Daoist Bai Jie!
At this point, the peculiar cover above his head suddenly emitted nine huge roars, shooting toward the sky from all directions, the nine Flame Dragons merging into one above, transforming into an enormous Flame Dragon, descending downward.
Gaia lifted her head, her purple eyes glimmering, and the sharp blades on her arms instantly crossed in defense above her head!
Boom——!
The jungle within tens of meters was instantly incinerated due to the impact of this gigantic Fire Dragon—resembling the explosion of a tactical missile!
When everything settled, the ground had turned into a several-meter-deep pit!
At the center of this pit, one of Gaia’s right arms had already disappeared, and the remaining left side just hung down naturally. Her purple eyes flickered incessantly at this moment!
But at this moment, a cold light swept across, and Gaia’s head was instantly decapitated—Daoist Bai Jie!
The severed head rolled into the pit at this moment, and Gaia’s body also collapsed onto the ground.
Daoist Bai Jie sighed at this moment and felt the mana in his body…less than forty percent of usual.
The head that had been severed now lay on the ground, but the purple pupils still flickered, looking towards Daoist Bai Jie. Such a gaze made Daoist Bai Jie feel a chill run down his spine.
But quickly, this head suddenly turned into ashes and dissipated in the air—along with her body, which was now similar.
Daoist Bai Jie, however, did not harbor any feelings of joy, instead, his face immediately turned gloomy.
Because he could clearly feel something…ing from behind him!
Daoist Bai Jie slowly turned around, looking at the top of the earthen pit, only to see one, two…six figures quickly ascend into the sky from the sight of the pit!
Six…Gaia!
“Truly, no respect for one’s elders…”
Daoist Bai Jie held his sword with both hands, soared into the sky, and swung his sword towards one of the Gaia!
…
…
Tremors, huge roars, and terrifying mana fluctuations…not far away.
When he opened his eyes, Yan Liu found that there was some dirt on his body… no, it should be said that half of his body was buried in the dirt.
A strange situation…but he quickly got up, recalling what happened before he passed out.
“Jasmine…” Yan Liu weakly knelt on the ground, painfully clutching the earth…all of a sudden, Yan Liu raised his head, looking around. Initially, he did not notice due to his deep sorrow, but at this moment, he found there were quite a few corpses of demons around him.
He did not know what had happened…only the continuous terrifying mana fluctuations came from a distance!
Who is fighting there…
Such terrifying mana fluctuations, even at this distance, made Yan Liu’s heart tremble with fear… in the Shenzhou Dao Realm, hardly a few could wield such terrifying mana.
Is it the president of the Daoist Association, Daoist Bai Jie, or Huanyang?
Faced with such formidable power, Yan Liu suddenly punched the dirt.
The force of the punch instantly sent dirt flying…
“Jasmine…Jasmine…” Yan Liu suddenly looked up, shouting loudly, “Dao Realm…I want you to be buried alongside with her!!!!!!”
However…however, with his body afflicted by the terminal illness of Ice-Cold Extremity, his lifespan was originally not long…Ice-Cold Extremity, for the Vermilion Bird Clan, is equivalent to a deadly ailment, continuously generating cold energy in the body that gradually counters the Vermilion Bird’s power of flames… When the power of flames within the body is entirely exhausted, his life will also e to an end.
“I can’t die…”
Yan Liu gritted his teeth, his gaze suddenly turning towards the corpses of demons around him…some were of the Vermilion Bird Clan, others of the White Tiger, Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise…there were even a few from the Taoism-cultivated field.
“Can’t die…”
His eyes became exceptionally ferocious—Yan Liu suddenly pounced on a fellow Vermilion Bird Clan corpse—the body was still warm.
“I can’t die…”
Trembling, he inserted his hand into the heart of this fellow clan corpse—he dug out a still warm heart.
“I can’t die!!!”
Swallowed it into his mouth!
The ruptured heart splattered blood as Yan Liu raised his head, forcibly swallowing this heart into his stomach. Instantly, a blaze of heat surged within his body, suppressing his cold symptoms.
Like a starving beast gone mad, Yan Liu once again bit into this corpse… ravenously devouring its flesh and blood!
One corpse, two corpses…three corpses…
Even though they were dead, the bodies of these powerful demons and Taoists still contained vast life essence…the fire power of fellow clan corpses could replenish his original loss, while others continuously bolstered his power of life!
It was unknown how much time passed, but the corpses around were all pletely devoured by Yan Liu.
“Still not enough…” His eyes were bloodshot, teetering on the brink of losing all reason—suddenly, a lively blazing force attracted him.
As if driven by instinct, Yan Liu followed the blazing force to a spot in the jungle.
“Flame Heart Spiritual Ganoderma!”
What appeared in front of Yan Liu was astonishingly the spiritual plant responsible for the death of his beloved… Yan Liu quickly marched up to this spiritual plant, and without a word, pulled up the Ganoderma and swallowed it whole into his mouth!
Devouring, terrifying flames blazed within his body, making Yan Liu feel as though he was about to explode!
[Query: Does the purchaser intend to buy the Flame Heart Spiritual Ganoderma?]
Suddenly, from behind Yan Liu, such a voice echoed… He forcibly endured the power of the Ganoderma raging inside him, as well as the explosive power of life resulting from devouring numerous monster Taoists, and turned around.
A small girl with purple hair and eyes stood quietly behind him, though he didn’t know when she had appeared.
[Suggestion: The purchaser has already used the Flame Heart Spiritual Ganoderma, please promptly pay for the usage fee.]
The rampant power was frantically erupting within Yan Liu, rendering him unable to heed the girl’s words. Even his consciousness was starting to be assailed by the chaotic power within him.
“Ah——!!!”
Yan Liu let out a painful howl and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.
At this moment, Gaia’s eyes flickered with purple light incessantly.
[Transaction interrupted…]
[Scanning…]
[The purchaser has energy turbulence within them… the purchaser’s Life Index is declining…]
[Due to the purchaser’s inability to continue the transaction… initiating emergency protocol…]
[Transaction ongoing, unable to interrupt…]
[Suggestion: Assist the purchaser until the transaction process is restored.]
[Affirmative.]
At this moment, Gaia waved her hand, lifting Yan Liu up, and placed a finger on Yan Liu’s forehead.
[Energy stabilizing…]
[Re-scanning…]
[The purchaser’s body contains abnormal genes, causing structure instability… suggestion, remove…]
Gaia once again placed her palm on Yan Liu’s chest.
[Re-scanning… the body’s internal contains the gene chain of Experimental Subject No. 28… retention rate is 0.47%… the body contains a mutated gene chain of Experimental Subject No. 28… retention rate is 7.9%… suggestion, retaining the alien gene chain is more beneficial for enhancing the purchaser’s soul strength…]
[Execute.]
Unbeknownst to anyone, some subtle changes were quietly unfolding within Yan Liu’s body!
