Chapter 1826: Chapter 1823: Life and Death Cursed Talisman! (5 updates)

Life and Death Cursed Talisman, life is the talisman, death is the curse.

Once the death curse is activated, seven days of Bone Erosion Pain, seven nights of Blood-Craving Itch, followed by death from body explosion.

Lin Bai curled up on the ground, the intense pain from within his body and soul turned his face liver-colored, and a large amount of blood seeped through his clenched teeth.

The Bone Erosion Pain tormented Lin Bai to the brink of Life and Death!

And then, a sudden itch began to spread within his body and soul, an intangible, elusive sensation that indeed started to expand within Lin Bai.

Immediately, Lin Bai began to scratch, clawing at his body, but the itch was insatiable, forcing him to use increasing force, eventually leaving his flesh a bloody mass, his body covered with wounds!

"Ah!"

Low wails of anguish continuously emanated from Lin Bai’s mouth.

"Hahaha." Standing aside, Ancestor Ding watched Lin Bai’s every move with delight.

Time flew by swiftly, and gradually, five days and five nights passed.

Ancestor Ding observed Lin Bai, whose skin was nearly flayed to shreds, a mere mass of bleeding flesh, while Lin Bai himself was tormented to the point of utter exhaustion.

"Seal the talisman!"

At this moment, Ancestor Ding lifted his hand, and the black aura enveloping Lin Bai’s body once again coalesced into a mark on Lin Bai’s chest, finally causing the Bone Erosion Pain and Blood-Craving Itch to gradually dissipate from within him.

Collapsing onto the ground, Lin Bai’s breath was weak; his entire body was a bloody, mangled mess, with scarcely any intact skin. His eyes, tinted with blood-red, were overshadowed by exhaustion and defiance!

"Was it fun, Lin Bai?"

Ancestor Ding asked with a faint smile.

Lin Bai stood up, sat cross-legged, and began channeling spiritual power to heal his internal injuries, while also continuously studying the Life and Death Cursed Talisman, searching for a means to remove it.

Ancestor Ding smiled faintly, saying, "The Life and Death Cursed Talisman has been imprinted, and if you dare to touch it privately or attempt to remove it from your body, the life talisman will shatter instantly. At that time, if no one helps you to coalesce a new life talisman, you will surely die."

"Lin Bai, don’t think about unraveling the Life and Death Cursed Talisman. It has existed in the East Continent for tens of thousands of years, countless warriors have been enslaved by it, and even Death Reversal Realm Strong Ones cannot break it."

"Currently on the East Continent, besides me, there are no more than five people capable of breaking the Life and Death Cursed Talisman!"

Ancestor Ding stated matter-of-factly.

Lin Bai covertly activated the power of the Devouring Sword Soul, gradually approaching the Life and Death Cursed Talisman, but at the moment the Devouring Sword Soul neared the talisman, the mark on his chest suddenly exploded, and a black aura enveloped Lin Bai’s entire body once more.

The Bone Erosion Pain and Blood-Craving Itch flooded back again.

Seeing Lin Bai’s demeanor, Ancestor Ding smiled lightly: "I told you, no matter what method you use, you can’t break the Life and Death Cursed Talisman. The moment you touch it, the life talisman will collapse. You’re just asking for more suffering!"

Ancestor Ding watched as Lin Bai was tortured by the Bone Erosion Pain and Blood-Craving Itch, a smile creeping onto his face.

Half a day later, Ancestor Ding reformed the life talisman for Lin Bai, enabling him to recover once more.

"What do you want?" Lin Bai asked weakly, looking at Ancestor Ding.

Ancestor Ding’s face hardened: "Originally, I intended for Ding Xianlai to go to the East Continent Academy to find Spiritual Medicine for me, but since you killed him, I have no choice but to risk sending you!"

"Lin Bai, as long as you find healing Spiritual Medicine for me in the East Continent Academy, I can promise to free you from the Life and Death Cursed Talisman once I recover, granting you your freedom!"

"Moreover, the enmity between you and my Ding family will be written off."

Ancestor Ding said coldly.

Lin Bai asked weakly, "Is it that simple?"

Ancestor Ding sneered, "Naturally, you mustn’t reveal anything about the Life and Death Cursed Talisman to anyone, or even if you find the healing Spiritual Medicine, I will still kill you!"

Lin Bai pondered, saying, "This Life and Death Cursed Talisman is so formidable, surely it is of significant origin."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Ding’s expression darkened, "That is not for you to question."

"Today, you only need to answer me, do you agree or not, if you don’t, I will release the life talisman now, let the death curse permeate your body, and let you die from seven days and nights of Bone Erosion Pain and Blood-Craving Itch!"

Ancestor Ding said coldly.

"It seems I have no other choice." Lin Bai said calmly.

Ancestor Ding laughed, "You’re a wise man."

Lin Bai replied, "Fine, I agree to go to the East Continent Academy to find your healing Spiritual Medicine. Once I succeed, you must lift the Life and Death Cursed Talisman for me!"

Ancestor Ding nodded, "Agreed."

Lin Bai asked, "Since you want me to find healing Spiritual Medicine for you, at least tell me, what exactly can cure your wounds?"

Ancestor Ding said faintly, "You will find out when the time comes. I will take you back to the Xuantian Sect, and when the sect heads to the East Continent Academy for apprenticeship, you will go along."

Lin Bai’s expression darkened, remaining silent.

At that moment, a dozen Yin Saint Realm warriors appeared in the valley, led by a middle-aged man who glared at Lin Bai and Ancestor Ding, demanding, "Who are you two? This is the Zhang family’s territory. Do you wish to die for causing chaos here?"

"Men, capture them!"

The dozen Yin Saint Realm warriors moved in response, attacking Ancestor Ding and Lin Bai.

Lin Bai, already severely wounded and tortured by the Life and Death Cursed Talisman for five days and nights, was utterly exhausted and powerless even when facing the Yin Saint Realm warriors.

Conversely, Ancestor Ding, upon hearing the words, focused his gaze on the approaching Yin Saint Realm warriors, and with a cold smile, unleashed an overwhelming force from his eyes.

Rumble——

A vibration arose as Ancestor Ding’s gaze alone caused the dozen Yin Saint Realm warriors to explode in mid-air, perishing instantly!

"Overestimating yourself!" Ancestor Ding said coldly.

Lin Bai, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but feel terrified, realizing that merely a glance from Ancestor Ding could cause a dozen Yin Saint Realm warriors to explode and die, truly toying with the forces of the world!

At that moment, Ancestor Ding stepped forward, seized Lin Bai by the throat, and soared into the sky, heading straight toward the Xuantian Sect.

Seven days later, Ancestor Ding brought Lin Bai back to the Xuantian Sect!

The Sect Leader Supreme and the Grand Elder were in the Sect Leader’s Hall, preparing ten warriors for a journey to the East Continent Academy.

At that moment, Ancestor Ding appeared in the sky above the Sect Leader’s Hall.

Sect Leader Supreme and Grand Elder were inside the hall, arranging ten warriors to depart for the East Continent Academy.

At that moment, Ancestor Ding appeared in the air above the Sect Leader’s Hall.

Sect Leader Supreme and Grand Elder were both alarmed upon seeing this.

Chai Ming and Lei Chong were even more frightened to the core.

At present, Lin Bai’s appearance was bloodied all over, his entire body was mangled, falling heavily onto the earth below, crashing into the floor of the Sect Leader’s Hall, creating a hollow.

After saying this, Ancestor Ding left.

Seeing Lin Bai’s condition, Sect Leader Supreme and Grand Elder were filled with fear!

Chai Ming and Lei Chong were terrified, their hairs stood on end.

As Ancestor Ding left, Lin Bai remained with the Sect Leader Supreme and Grand Elder, and his mind was filled with chilling thoughts. What cruel methods did Ancestor Ding employ to cause this level of suffering to Lin Bai?

Lin Bai observed Ancestor Ding’s departure, a cold smile on his lips, murmuring to himself, "Ancestor Ding, for the pain and suffering I endure today, I will make you pay a hundredfold in the future!"

Having agreed to Ancestor Ding was merely a stalling tactic, once he reached the East Continent Academy, Lin Bai planned to exhaust all means to break free from the Life and Death Cursed Talisman!

"It cannot be true, in the grand East Continent of the Barbaric Ancient Continent, where talented individuals abound and countless methods exist, that no one can break the Life and Death Cursed Talisman," he thought.
