I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 78: Surging Traps

Boom!

A loud thunderclap echoed for hundreds of meters, but quickly subsided. In the vast jungle, all other noises seemed to disappear, leaving only the sound of rain.

Cough! At this moment, a cough mixed with blood spatters suddenly came from within the jungle. Upon closer inspection, a figure struggled to stand up from the muddy ground.

This person was none other than Lin Chen.

He used the non-conductive gold in this world as an insulator to avoid the damage from lightning, but the terrifying impact still caused him significant injuries.

He immediately took out the [Wood Returning Pill] he obtained from his storage bag and swallowed it.

Of course, this was not the original pill, but a non-toxic Qi Pill recreated from its medicinal properties.

"The power of the thunder bomb is not enough to seriously injure a Foundation Building cultivator, but the terrifying impact is enough to push us both far enough apart..." Lin Chen's eyes flickered.

"Of course, that's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that I'm almost at my destination."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but look up and gaze into the distance. In the rainy night not far away, a small mountain range could be vaguely seen.

And this mountain was where Lin Chen had set up his trap!

"I really want to see if a Foundation Building cultivator can withstand the volcanic eruption I simulated!" Lin Chen sneered, then glanced back and headed straight towards the small mountain.

On the other side, in another part of the jungle, a layer of blood mist floated without dispersing. Even under the heavy rain, it maintained its original state.

Puh! A mouthful of stagnant blood sprayed out, and a figure covered in black slowly crawled up from the ground under the shroud of blood mist.

The black-clothed blood cultivator thought he was ruthless enough, using escape talismans and burning his essence blood to chase after the enemy.

But he didn't expect the other party to be even more ruthless, directly detonating the thunder bomb at close range, seemingly ready to die together!

"The other party dares to detonate the thunder bomb at such close range. Could it be that he's not afraid of death?" The black-clothed blood cultivator's face was full of astonishment.

With his strong physical qualities and recovery ability, he could withstand attacks from Foundation Building stage cultivators.

But the other party was just a Qi Refining stage cultivator, yet he dared to do this. Was he really not afraid of death?

Before the black-clothed blood cultivator could figure it out, he suddenly looked up in a certain direction, his expression changing. "How is this possible? He has already recovered so quickly? Did he not suffer any damage from the lightning?"

That ball of lightning not only burned his body, but also caused paralysis. Even he, a Foundation Building stage cultivator, hadn't fully recovered yet, but the Qi Refining stage cultivator could already move?

"Damn it!" The black-clothed blood cultivator's face darkened, and without hesitation, he took out several blood jade from his storage bag and crushed them.

Blood flowed out and merged into the surrounding blood mist.

Under the shroud of the blood mist, his charred body began to show visible signs of rapid recovery with flesh buds growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This was a unique method of blood cultivators, using the essence blood extracted from killing enemies to nourish themselves.

Although this demonic cultivation technique had many hidden dangers, it allowed for rapid cultivation progress, as well as formidable combat power and terrifying recovery ability.

For example, the injuries that would take an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator half an incense stick's time to recover from could be healed within a few breaths for him.

"This guy must die!" The black-clothed blood cultivator flew up again, his eyes overflowing with killing intent.

They had reached the point of life and death. No matter what the cost, he must kill the other party.

Thinking of this, he took out the last escape talisman from his storage bag and also took out something else.

"I really don't want to use this thing..." Even though the black-clothed blood cultivator was resolute, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face when he saw the item in his hand.

In his hand, he held a piece of leather clothing.

This clothing seemed to be sewn from freshly peeled skin, lifelike, with indelible blood stains on it.

This is the [Bloodstained Skin Robe]!

The process of making this item is extremely cruel. First, a cultivator is tortured continuously until they become completely numb, almost losing consciousness.

Then, while they are still conscious, all of their essence blood, soul, true yuan, and other elements are forcibly refined into the skin, creating the [Bloodstained Skin Robe]!

Once the Bloodstained Skin Robe is worn, the wearer can possess 80% of the power of the cultivator whose skin was used. It can be said that as long as a Qi Refining Stage cultivator wears the Bloodstained Skin Robe of a Foundation Building Stage cultivator, they can temporarily possess the power of a Foundation Building Stage cultivator.

It also has mysterious abilities such as soul protection and the ability to autonomously absorb fresh blood to repair the body.

However, this is ultimately a demonic item and cannot come without a price.

While the wearer is protected, they are also gradually corroded by the skin. It devours the user's essence and spirit! The greater the difference in strength, the faster it devours!

Furthermore, every month, several Qi Refining Stage cultivators need to be fed, otherwise it will go out of control and backlash against the holder!

This Bloodstained Skin Robe was made by a Foundation Building Late Stage Violet Palace realm cultivator. With his strength, once he puts it on, he must take it off within half an incense stick's time, otherwise he will be sucked dry.

Even if it is worn for a short time, it will cause severe damage to the cultivation base, and even cause a drop in cultivation level. This is more terrifying than the damage caused by burning essence blood!

As far as he knows, there have been more than a dozen Foundation Building cultivators who died wearing this skin, and there are hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators!

The black-robed blood cultivator gritted his teeth and forcibly put it on. What followed was an indescribable pain and the continuous loss of life essence.

But at the same time, his strength continued to rise!

So, the black-robed blood cultivator activated the last escape talisman in his hand and turned into a blood rainbow, flying towards Lin Chen!

Soon, he arrived above a mountain.

"Want to ambush through the cave entrance?" The black-robed blood cultivator looked at the cave entrance where Lin Chen had entered with his spiritual perception, and couldn't help but sneer.

Although in his perception, the other party was quickly leaving the cave, upon careful sensing, the black-robed blood cultivator discovered a very subtle aura not far from the cave entrance!

"Want to explode again at close range?" The black-robed blood cultivator's face turned cold, and he decisively used his spiritual technique!

In just a moment, a huge blood hand floated in the air above the cave, and then fiercely pressed down!

Suddenly, the cave entrance collapsed, and countless boulders rolled down.

What surprised the black-robed blood cultivator was that his actions seemed to have triggered a chain reaction. The small mountain standing in front of him directly collapsed!

"What... what?"

The mountain in front of him was hollow?

The black-robed cultivator was stunned and used his spiritual perception to probe downward.

Ten meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters. At about a hundred meters, he sensed a layer of stone different from the other materials of the small mountain.

And beneath this kind of stone, there was rolling, red, and scorching... magma?!

"No..."

At this moment, the danger that had been concealed finally arrived late.

The black-robed blood cultivator felt as if a sharp sword was piercing his forehead, and his face suddenly became terrified.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

At the moment when the small mountain collapsed, thousands of talismans buried around the magma hole were suddenly triggered.

One small light ball after another lit up, finally forming a huge light ball. With terrifying impact, it broke through the insulating soil layer and mixed with the red magma.

The red magma, rolling heat waves, high temperature and high pressure environment, the weak part of the insulating soil layer above suddenly shattered.

Eruption power, eruption material, eruption channel, the three conditions were met, and what followed was...

In the rainy night, Lin Chen stood in a jungle not far from the small mountain, only seeing a red light suddenly appearing in the darkness.

In that instant, the world fell silent, as if the entire world had turned into a silent and still picture.

Boom!

Then, a loud noise broke the silence. Only a red flame rose from the darkness, like the most brilliant fireworks in the vast night!
