From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 231 The Final Chapter of the Secret Manual: Xiao Yao's Glorious Achievement

The powerful energy surged in like a tidal wave, almost engulfing me.

I felt like a huge rock was pressing on my chest, making it difficult to breathe.

The surrounding space distorted violently, emitting a buzzing sound, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

I gritted my teeth and pushed my immortal power to its limit, forming a protective golden barrier in front of me.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, a mysterious force slammed into my barrier.

I felt a tremendous impact, and my body involuntarily staggered back a few steps. A sweet taste rose in my throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

I quickly steadied myself, wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, and stared warily ahead.

"What kind of power is this? It's so strong!" I thought to myself, not daring to relax for a moment.

That mysterious force seemed determined not to give me a chance to breathe, and launched another attack.

This time, the attack was more ferocious and faster.

Before I could react, a powerful force slammed into my chest, sending me flying.

I slammed heavily against the wall of the library, and a sharp pain shot through my body.

I struggled to stand up, but my limbs felt heavy and wouldn't obey my commands.

I took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain, and once again gathered my immortal power to prepare for the next wave of attacks.

I know I can't give up, I have to keep going!

Just then, a deep voice echoed in the space: "Interesting. A mere mortal, yet possessing such resilience. But how long can you hold on?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than that mysterious force struck again, more ferocious and unstoppable than before.

I tried my best to resist, but I still felt like a small boat in a storm, adrift and struggling to survive.

My vision blurred, my head spun, and I felt my consciousness fading away.

Suddenly, a hand landed on my shoulder...

"Don't worry, I'm here to help you." A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Wen Chen's hands were warm yet strong.

A surge of pure immortal energy flowed into my body through his palm, rapidly repairing my damaged meridians.

I felt the pain in my body lessen considerably, and my consciousness gradually became clearer.

I managed to stand firm and looked around.

Master Ziyang, Fairy Feiyu, Lingfeng, Youmeng...

The competitors stood at a distance, watching all of this with indifference.

Their faces showed no worry whatsoever, but rather a hint of schadenfreude.

I could even feel their expectant gazes, as if they were waiting for me to be swallowed by that mysterious power so that they would have another chance to compete for the immortal manual.

Anger burned within me.

These people keep talking about the path to immortality, yet they are so cold and heartless!

I gritted my teeth, my heart filled with resentment.

I will absolutely not let them have their way!

That mysterious force struck again, carrying an aura of destruction.

This time, I clearly felt that it seemed to be able to see through my defenses, and each attack precisely hit my weak points.

My golden barrier was torn apart as easily as paper.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, my defenses completely collapsed.

I felt a powerful force binding me, making it impossible for me to move.

The air around me seemed to freeze, making it hard for me to breathe.

The shadow of death loomed over me, filling me with utter despair.

"Give up, you can't beat me." That deep voice rang out again, full of mockery and disdain.

I struggled helplessly, but I couldn't break free from the binding force.

My vision blurred and my consciousness began to fade.

Am I really going to die here?

No! I can not be reconciled!

I desperately gathered the last bit of immortal power within my body, wanting to make a final stand.

Just then, I suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in the power that was binding me...

"Wait," I said with difficulty, "I think I..."

I felt it...

I felt the power of the secret manual!

It surged within me, resonating with my divine power!

Is it...

Is this the ultimate secret?

An unprecedented power surged forth from the depths of my dantian, as unstoppable as a volcanic eruption.

Golden light enveloped my entire body, making me appear as if I were a god descended from heaven.

I felt as if I were one with the entire universe, controlling all the power in the world.

With a loud bang, the force that had been binding me shattered instantly, breaking into countless pieces like glass.

I opened my eyes, which shone with golden light, full of confidence and power.

The mysterious force seemed startled by my sudden outburst and retreated a few steps.

I sneered, gathered the surging immortal power within my body into my palm, and thrust it forward with a vengeance.

"break!"

A golden beam of light shot out from my palm, roaring like a giant dragon as it charged toward that mysterious power.

With another loud bang, that mysterious power was completely shattered by my attack and vanished without a trace.

Silence reigned around me; everyone stared at me in disbelief: Master Ziyang, Fairy Feiyu, Lingfeng, Youmeng…

The gloating that had been on their faces was gone, replaced by deep awe.

Elder Mo Yun broke the silence first. He walked excitedly to me, his hands trembling as he said, "Xiao Yao, you...you actually comprehended the ultimate secret of the immortal technique! You are truly a genius!"

I smiled slightly and said nothing.

I slowly reached out and grasped the immortal technique manual floating in the air.

At that moment, I felt as if I were standing at the pinnacle of the world, looking down upon all living beings.

Thunderous applause erupted in the library and lasted for a long time.

At this moment, my name resounded throughout the entire realm between immortals and demons.

I looked down at the immortal technique manual in my hand, my heart filled with anticipation.

Where will this powerful force lead me?

I gently turned to the first page of the manual...

"So, this is just the beginning..." I murmured to myself.
