Chapter 646: Chapter 645: Playing Dead While Invisible

Yusuf Zuck’s achievements today all relied on being Invisible, so he was acutely aware of the significance of invisibility to him. One could say that being Invisible could avoid death and also allow one to do things beyond others’ imaginations. Hence, he did not want to lose this Skill, nor would he.

Regardless of whether the Higgins King was willing, the fact was that Yusuf’s dependence on him was mostly for utilitarian reasons. All he wanted now was a place to settle down and ensure the safety of his two ladies. He could not possibly follow the Higgins King for the rest of his life.

Currently, the Higgins King was still a Prince, so not kneeling to him and occasionally joking with him was acceptable. But once the Higgins King truly became the Emperor, Yusuf would have to kneel upon seeing him, and his whole family would have to kneel; joking would be out of the question.

As the saying goes, "company with a king is like being a companion to a tiger"; staying by a tiger’s side meant you always had to consider the possibility of being eaten at any moment.

Of course, it was unlikely that the Higgins King would seize the throne in the short term, and this period was exactly the time for Yusuf to strengthen his power. He had enemies to seek out, someone to rescue, but all of these were predicated on his own survival, making sure Ruth Wilcox and Ember Vance were not left as widows. He had to be responsible for himself and those around him, not letting down anyone.

Dozens of kilometers away at a mountaintop, Yusuf stopped and quickly became Invisible, checking the condition of his own body.

As before, his body was not visible to the naked eye after becoming Invisible, but the flow of blood, heartbeat, breathing, and so on continued, and he could be clearly seen using Telekinesis.

If he could see himself with Telekinesis, it meant others could also see him with Divine Sense. Only when he could not see himself with Telekinesis, could others’ Divine Sense fail to detect him.

He sat down, frowning continuously, and also hastily contemplated various possibilities.

At that same time, Leah Erickson carefully glanced at the Higgins King.

Just now, when Yusuf greeted him before leaving, she could sense the Higgins King’s anger rise in an instant. However, being a dignitary, a true dragon at heart, such anger was quickly extinguished, as if it had never happened.

"Prince, he is a rustic villager lacking manner. Please do not be angry!" Leah Erickson surprisingly pleaded on Yusuf’s behalf.

After all, Yusuf had once saved her life. Although she did not need Yusuf’s help, he nonetheless saved her, and she owed Yusuf a debt of gratitude for that.

"Haha, indeed, since he’s just a rustic villager accustomed to unhindered freedom, merely greeting me might already be his way of showing respect. Eccentrics behave eccentrically, I do not blame him. However, if you were to compare his physical strength to someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage, who would be stronger and who would be weaker?"

"There is no basis for comparison!" After contemplating, Leah Erickson said, "He is born with physical strength, a sheer force of his own body; whereas, once a cultivator solidifies their pill, it’s like they possess a life within their body—a small world isn’t an exaggeration—the power of the pill is unimaginable."

"Hmm, and how exactly is it strong? I do not understand," inquired the Higgins King with a smile.

"Let me give you an analogy," Leah Erickson explained. "Let’s say both Yusuf and a Foundation Establishment cultivator can lift the mountain over there!" Leah Erickson pointed at the mountain veiled in darkness, "But Yusuf would only be using his brute physical strength to lift and hold the mountain; how long he could hold it would depend on his strength."

"If a Foundation Establishment master were to lift that mountain, it would be much easier. They could support the mountain with just one finger, toss it back and forth; as long as they could lift it, they could move it or even destroy it. If they decided to lift, they could keep lifting indefinitely."

"So what you mean is, natural strength has limits, but the strength of a pill cultivator is limitless, unending, eternal?"

"Yes, that’s right. The strength they use differs. Yusuf’s is brute force, the cultivator’s is Mana!"

"But you still haven’t answered whether he could defeat a pill cultivator!" the Higgins King said with a laugh.

"He can’t!" Leah Erickson shook her head, "His strength is indeed great, but brute force and Mana cannot compare. Mana can borrow the power of the heavens and earth, so against a pill cultivator, no matter how strong his brute force, he could only end up dead."

"What if he also reached the pill cultivator’s level? If he then compared strength with a pill cultivator, who would be the stronger and who the weaker?"

"The Mana might be equal, but if a pill cultivator allowed him to get close, they would be undoubtedly dead. Because with equal amounts of Mana, he could break through the cultivator’s Mana and then, with his brute physical strength alone, easily rip apart their body."

"Hmm, I understand now," nodded the Higgins King. Overall, Yusuf held a significant advantage, and if he were to become a pill cultivator, he would likely become an extraordinary figure upon his emergence.

...

Tens of miles away, atop a mountain, Yusuf Zuck stopped breathing, controlled his heartbeat, and ceased his blood flow, entering a state of suspended animation.

Indeed, under the manipulation of powerful telekinesis, he even stopped his own heart from beating, his body lay like a dead man, completely vanished.

He had fallen into a crazed state, one could say, he was a man who wouldn’t rest until he reached his goal, and so he was capable of stopping his own heart.

Of course, this was also thanks to his strong ability to control telekinesis, which was triggered by the Blood Beads in his mind, controlling everything with telekinesis, dominating everything.

With no heartbeat, no breath, no blood flow, in complete stillness and concealment, under such conditions, let alone Divine Sense, even immortals wouldn’t be able to see him.

The reason others’ Divine Consciousness could detect him before, was because he had a flesh and blood body, with blood flowing in his veins, a heart that beat, lungs that breathed.

Experts could hear the sound of blood flowing and the clear beating of the heart, and their Divine Consciousness could detect his presence because it was not with eyes they saw, but with faint thoughts they perceived the existence of his body; as long as there was movement, their Divine Consciousness could find him.

Like a zombie, Yusuf Zuck stood up, his body enveloped with the force of his powerful telekinesis, sealing himself into a separate spatial world, a peculiar feeling as if, although he still existed, under the dominion of telekinesis, it was as if the world was devoid of him!

"Let’s try it, if it works, then it’s a success," Yusuf Zuck knew that this feigned death state could not last long, probably at most for two hours before he must revive, or else, prolonged duration would be too damaging for his body, and the control of telekinesis was too exhausting, depleting mental power massively.

Of course, this was also made possible by the purple droplet within the Blood Beads; if an ordinary person tried this, they would certainly die without a doubt, but although there was damage to him, with the life-restoring properties of the purple droplet, he would be lively and bouncing again in time.

"Huh," Yusuf Zuck halted as his telekinesis reached fifty meters away from Higgins King and Leah Erickson, then suddenly took a step forward, standing fifty meters away from Higgins King and Leah Erickson in the open!

And it was at the moment he stood fifty meters away, Higgins King and Leah Erickson suddenly stood up, Leah Erickson with her hand on her knife hilt, Higgins King’s eyebrows crinkled into a frown.

For in that very instant, the two had heard a sound; being skilled fighters, they were particularly sensitive to sounds, the kind that comes from stepping on leaves, the sound of footsteps landing.

Both possessed Divine Consciousness, so they quickly scanned everything within a hundred meters with Divine Consciousness.

Indeed, their Divine Consciousness also extended only a hundred meters; the State of Great Fetal Breathing was the same, only a hundred meters. Yusuf Zuck had seen the cultivators here, and it seemed none surpassed a Divine Consciousness range of a hundred meters.

But within fifty meters, they could still see, which was why Yusuf Zuck stood very nervously on the spot, motionless.

Two Divine Consciousnesses swept across, intersecting; Yusuf Zuck could feel it. Their Divine Consciousness had swept over his body without the slightest pause!

"It worked, they can’t see me!" Yusuf Zuck almost burst into maniacal laughter, for from the expressions of the two, it was clear they hadn’t discovered his return; they had only scanned quickly and moved on.

"Who is this expert hiding in the shadows? Why not show yourself instead of lurking about?" Higgins King shouted sternly, sure that there was a master nearby.

Yet, no one answered, and it was very quiet all around.

Leah Erickson was very nervous; this operation was a secret for the three of them, and they had not informed anyone of their itinerary or route, all to ensure Higgins King’s safety. But now, how could someone find them?

Yusuf Zuck knew he couldn’t play this game any longer; now that he was sure he could evade Divine Consciousness by feigning death, he was reassured and decided to retreat immediately after a brief thought.

However, just at that moment, he suddenly saw a white shadow flashing past two hundred steps behind Higgins King and Leah Erickson.

Yusuf Zuck was greatly shocked; previously, he had only extended his telekinesis up to fifty meters in front of Higgins King, which meant he had not probed behind Higgins King with his telekinesis.

But now, that white shadow was clearly a person!

"Not good, there’s an assassin!" Yusuf Zuck’s whole body broke out in goosebumps.
