I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 76 Soul Showdown

In the vast night.

Lin Chen, who was rapidly evacuating from Gangcheng, felt the rising fireball behind him and was instantly awakened to the scene that shocked the entire Jiangcheng, his eyes couldn't help but flicker.

This is a trap set using the ability of the opponent's "Thousand Miles Soul Search". Unexpectedly, it succeeded.

According to Lin Chen's research, after achieving the Foundation Building stage, the soul undergoes a transformation, and the cultivator's senses are further developed, allowing them to perceive the existence and appearance of all things more truthfully.

They can see the wind blowing, hear the sounds of flowers, plants, and trees, and even the sound emitted by a stone.

At this moment, everything seems to have turned into an "aura" that can be understood and stored.

And within these auras, it even records the traces left by someone passing by decades ago.

"According to certain theories from my past life, wherever someone goes, they will inevitably leave traces that won't dissipate even after hundreds of years..."

"If every person in the past life has a special magnetic field, then every person in this life has their own unique aura."

"So, the actions and routes of mortals and Qi Refining Stage cultivators are as obvious to Foundation Building cultivators as fluorescent tracks drawn in the dark night... and this, as rumored, is one of the abilities possessed by Foundation Building cultivators through the birth of spiritual perception - Thousand Miles Soul Lock!"

As a Foundation Building cultivator, they naturally have countermeasures against the Thousand Miles Soul Lock ability of their peers.

They can also use their own spiritual power to conceal or even erase various traces left in the natural magnetic field.

But the action of "erasing" also leaves behind a unique aura imprint.

Foundation Building cultivators with shallow soul strength cannot detect it, but those with higher cultivation can discover it and deduce more information.

By using a flesh and blood substitute as a bait and concealing his own traces, Lin Chen made the opponent unaware and fell into the trap.

But once the opponent realizes it and removes the concealment of the aura, Lin Chen will face the pursuit of a Foundation Building Stage cultivator!

"The explosion caused by dozens of fireball talismans won't delay for long, so I must leave this city as soon as possible!"

In the darkness, Lin Chen's eyes flickered, a gentle breeze surrounded him, and with a step, he crossed several meters. Not far in front of him was the city wall of Jiangcheng.

"Who goes there?!" The city guards shouted when they saw Lin Chen approaching.

However, before they could make a move, their bodies suddenly froze, their faces filled with fear. Because they didn't know when, the black-robed cultivator rushing towards them suddenly transformed, eventually becoming a terrifying giant beast with eyes as big as lanterns, equal in height to the city wall!

As if encountering a natural enemy, the terrifying threat brought about by the difference in life levels made them instinctively freeze in place.

This was an illusion created by Lin Chen using his spiritual perception, enough to trap cultivators whose souls were weaker than his own and unable to break free from the illusion!

With a gentle breeze surrounding his body, Lin Chen became as light as a swallow. With a step on the ground, he leaped onto the rooftops, and with another pounce, he jumped onto the city wall.

"Go!" In an instant, Lin Chen had landed on the wall and was about to leap down when the scenery suddenly changed.

The brightly lit city wall suddenly darkened, and even within his field of vision, a layer of faint blood color filled the space between heaven and earth.

In Lin Chen's eyes, the land outside the city had turned into a bloody scene, with soil mixed with blood rolling and forming a terrifying blood hand equal in height to the city wall!

"Die!" The cold voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld, and then this sky-covering giant hand fiercely slapped towards Lin Chen!

Lin Chen's face changed. He knew that everything in front of him was an illusion, but if he couldn't see through it and his five senses were deceived, he would still die!

Just like in his past life, he was psychologically influenced, then locked in a cold storage room. Even though the cold storage room wasn't turned on, he froze to death in normal temperature due to physiological death caused by psychological influence!

With a roar, a cold light burst from Lin Chen's hand, turning into countless sword lights shooting towards the blood hand, but it only slightly blocked it for a moment.

But Lin Chen just needed this moment to catch his breath!

In a showdown between souls of the same level, it is not only a contest of soul strength but also a contest of imagination.

The birth of the Soul Illusion Realm is a virtual world formed by the clash of souls between both parties.

Everything in it exists solely based on the imagination and cognition of both sides. If something beyond their cognition appears, it will cause problems in the operation of their illusions, making it easy for the other cultivator to take advantage and lose control over their own illusions.

Foundation Building cultivators will not easily engage in this kind of confrontation because there are risks involved.

However, it is different for lower-level cultivators. Unless the other party possesses a rare soul treasure like the Gold Core, they will be unable to withstand the soul attacks of higher-level cultivators.

But the black-robed blood cultivator did not expect that Lin Chen, a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, would possess soul power close to that of a Foundation Building cultivator. Not only did he not have no means to fight back, but he could also seize control of the illusions based on his imagination and engage in a soul confrontation with him!

"You, a Foundation Building cultivator, dare to compete with me, who has experienced the Information Age, in imagination?!"

Lin Chen sneered, continuously condensing all his soul power. Then, a silver-gray metallic sphere as tall as a small hill appeared in his hand as he chanted:

"The mantis blocks the car with a thousand pounds of force, Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly in vain. The Eastern torch dances with a red flag, and ten thousand miles explode in red light!"

"Decree, summon True Monarch to level the field!"

"As you command!"

Accompanied by the resounding thunder, a huge figure with a circular crown of light appeared slowly behind Lin Chen.

It merged directly with the metallic sphere, forming an object that was nine meters long, two meters wide, and had a round head.

"You monsters dare to be insolent in front of me, True Monarch, truly ignorant of life and death! Taste my Immortal Law, [Energy Equation]!!!"

A blood-colored giant hand covered the sky and pressed heavily on the city wall.

But at this moment, a point of light rose slowly from the boundless dark night. In an instant, endless radiance tore through the blood hand, illuminating the vast sky.

Boom!!

The Great Dao is simple, and the great sound is rare, as if a sun from the heavens has descended to the mortal world.

Thunder flashed, illuminating the world. In this instant, everything turned white.

"Ah!!!" The black-robed blood cultivator flying from afar felt an endless heat rushing towards him. In an instant, his whole body was enveloped, and he felt as if he was in the midst of a blazing sun. Endless flames burned him, causing him to let out a cry of pain.

On Lin Chen's side, the scene in front of him shattered with a bang, returning to reality. But around him, clusters of burning torch-like figures appeared!

These were the cultivators or martial artists responsible for guarding the city wall. In the soul confrontation between Lin Chen and the black-robed blood cultivator, they were also drawn into it.

Under the influence of the illusion on their souls, the True Qi in their bodies automatically transformed into flames and began to burn their bodies.

Soul influences True Qi, True Qi transforms into flames, and the flames burn the body. Obviously, this is spontaneous combustion caused by the influence on the soul.

Lin Chen didn't pay much attention to it and leaped directly into the vast night.

Not long after, the figure of the black-robed blood cultivator appeared on the city wall.

He looked at the ashes on the ground and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.

In the soul confrontation just now, he was also affected. The essence blood, true yuan, and divine soul in his body actually started to burn automatically!

If he hadn't paid a great price to sever the connection to the illusion in time, he would have turned into a ball of flowing fire and scattered into ashes in the sky!

"Who exactly is the other party? A Qi Refining Stage cultivator who can compete with me in soul confrontation and has such imagination..." After calming down a bit, a deep and cold killing intent appeared in the eyes of the black-robed blood cultivator.

To be able to reach this level, the other party either possesses a divine soul treasure or is an extraordinary genius. Regardless of which one it is, it is enough to show that the other party is not simple.

He even has a premonition that if he cannot kill this person today, he will definitely become a major threat to them in the future!

"No matter what, I cannot let him grow. Today, he must die, no matter what price I have to pay!"
