Meet Minh, a streetwise young man with a knack for evading trouble. Despite his unassuming appearance and history of petty theft, Minh harbors a heart full of loyalty and a dream for a better life. His life is a constant chase, not just from the authorities but from his own limitations and circumstances. "Are you good at standing still?" might as well be Minh’s mantra, for his life is anything but stationary. Minh's closest confidant and moral compass is Mr. Ly, an elderly man who, despite his advanced age and destitution, possesses a wealth of wisdom. Mr. Ly has taught Minh how to read and instilled in him the value of knowledge. Their bond is not just of necessity but of mutual respect and unspoken familial ties. Minh often reflects, "I often suspect that you are a person from another world who has come here!" This suspicion is more admiration, highlighting the stark contrast between their lives and Mr. Ly's enigmatic presence. The narrative takes a mystical turn when Minh's encounters introduce him to a realm of fantastical possibilities. The tales Mr. Ly used to tell about different kinds of spiritual bodies and their abilitiessome blessed by gods to control elements like Wind and Lightning start to feel less like stories and more like hidden truths about the world Minh inhabits. This revelation begins when he meets Luu Tich Quan, a formidable woman bound by family pride and mysterious powers. Their interaction is a dance of power and secrecy, each with their own past and future to protect. Minh's struggle intensifies as he grapples with his own latent abilities and the harsh realities of the mystical world he is slowly drawn into. "Your problem is that the bitter sea recovers too quickly, it is difficult to expand, you can only rely on external support to explore," Luu Tich Quan tells Minh, hinting at the untapped potential within him and the monumental challenges he faces. His body, described as the Longevity Body, suggests he is destined for greatness but also curses him with perpetual struggle. The stakes rise as Minh becomes entangled with the powerful Luu family, known for their mastery over ancient techniques and ruthless ambition. The conflict with the Luu family is not just physical but deeply ideological, testing Minh's principles and his resolve to protect those he loves, like little Vi, who represents his hope and future. In a particularly gripping scene, Minh faces off with Luu Toan, a proud member of the Luu family. The tension is palpable, with Luu Toan underestimating Minh's tenacity. "I really don't want to offend you, I'm just forced to," Minh says, encapsulating his reluctant heroism. This moment marks the beginning of Minh’s transformation from a street survivor to a significant player in the unfolding mystical war. The narrative's climax is both a physical and spiritual battle. Minh’s journey through ancient relics, facing mythical beasts, and deciphering cryptic prophecies leads him to a profound understanding of his purpose.

Chapter 42: Falling into the Blood River

Doc Co Minh and Tran Man Dao did not die.

The moment the two were almost completely devoured by darkness, the light from Doc Co Minh's body burst violently against it. From the bottom of the abyss quite far away, there was also a roaring sound like a demon under Desperation, Ma Uyen saw his natural enemy, frantically controlling the magic weapon to attack the ring of light that was enveloping them. two people.

The magic weapon was so strong that the circle of light shattered, before the two lost consciousness, they only heard a sigh full of sadness, then everything was completely silent, when Tran Man Dao woke up. saw Doc Co Minh lying next to her, her body broken, and she had nothing to do with it, there is no damage at all.

- Your ancient jade protected me, but why didn't it protect you?

Tran Man Dao carried Doc Co Minh on his shoulder, the ancient jade was currently being worn by her in front of his neck, but it once again lost its spirit to let her life be constantly sucked away by him.

- I don't understand either, maybe this ancient jade was left by a sharp wolf, and when she saw the beautiful woman, she rushed forward, forgetting a master like me...

Doc Co Minh laughed and coughed loudly, the black energy swallowed and fused with the blood of Longevity Body continuously, making him extremely weak, his breath like candlelight before the creeping wind, not knowing when it would go out.

- King Minh really knows how to joke, just like in a dream...

Tran Man Dao also smiled but there were two rows of hot tears rolling down his cheeks. She knew that this time his life and death were very dangerous, and she might not be able to withstand it any longer. And he was very determined to deliberately reduce the speed of her hygiene, that's why he was so impulsive.

- Man Dao, actually I only went with you for a while in a dream, why do you need to be so stubborn? This is the real world, you have the inheritance of the Demon Lord, in the future, you will be the character that makes sentient beings kneel and worship, so you should not be buried with me.

Doc Co Minh began to advise her. His life is no longer long, he doesn't want to harm another girl who has worked very hard to come back to life. He understood that Tran Man Dao was the hope of the Underworld, all the power of the remaining souls of sentient beings there entered the Ancient Soul, urging her to be resurrected for a while.

- For people, it's a dream, but for Man Dao, it's real. What's so important about dreaming or real? If dreams make us vibrate, then dreams are real, but if they really make us so heartbroken that we want to forget, then it's just dreams...

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her neck ache, but unexpectedly Doc Co Minh cruelly bit her neck hard and then sucked blood.

He sucked a breath, causing her to lose one-fifth of her blood, her body was extremely weak, and her life was devoured without any mercy by him. That's why her realm kept falling, from Nascent Soul to Tien Thai.

- I said your flesh and blood are delicious!

Doc Co Minh's eyes closed, licking his lips and smiling evilly.

But unexpectedly, Tran Man Dao remained silent without saying anything, just quietly continued walking, ignoring his life-spawn, which was devoured by Doc Co Minh.

I don't know how long, maybe a day, maybe three days, maybe a lifetime...

Tran Man Dao carried Doc Co Minh across countless mountains of bones, sea, and blood of ancient six-way creatures. In it, several sets of extremely powerful bodies appeared, their minds dreamily fighting and killing each other, as if they had not forgotten their hatred even to the point of death. At the end of the day, these bodies seemed to lose their spirit and immediately collapsed, a new day began, the great war continued until the body on one side exploded, the bones turned into ashes, and the blood The flesh just filled the ground.

- The first time I see a stupid creature like you, aren't you afraid I'll suck your blood to death? I still want to devour your skin. It's so fragrant, it makes me so hungry...

The person appearing was of course the ghost with long white hair, his eyes permanently closed.

- You sucked my flesh and blood to maintain King Minh's vitality. Wait until he wakes up and destroy you!

Tran Man Dao's face turned pale and trembled slightly as Doc Co Minh's teeth left his neck. Her realm fell miserably, now only equivalent to that of a monk in the Chaos realm.

 

- That guy is me, and I am his ego, he will never be able to overcome his own ego.

Tam ma smiled coldly.

- He can! You are not as good as him in every aspect, he has feelings and you will always be just a bloody evil demon. How are you different from the inanimate bodies fighting in front of you?

- You...

The demon's mind trembled with anger, but unexpectedly, a few days later, he directly missed sucking Tran Man Dao's blood, despite the fact that his life was constantly dissipating.

Tran Man Dao was extremely scared, seeing such stubborn demons, I was afraid that Doc Co Minh would quickly lose his life.

-Why don't you suck my blood anymore?

- Hmm, I can do what that guy can do, not only that, but he can do it ten thousand times better. I want to show you that I'm not a vile inanimate creature like those bodies...

Tam Ma did not expect to make Tran Man Dao silent, but he did exactly what he said, even her cleaning was almost completely suspended.

- Ha ha, that guy isn't afraid of death, right? Me too, next time we reincarnate we will fight again! He has cultivated the Dao Ma Sutra, and in ten thousand lifetimes he cannot escape the fate of being devoured by me...

The ghost's voice was weak to the extreme, almost dying. He was as stubborn as Doc Co Minh, and at the last moment when his consciousness was about to be erased, he still laughed:

- There's nothing worth seeing in Hong Tran, so I'll keep my eyes closed forever, death is just that...

The laughter that lasted not long immediately fell silent, Doc Co Minh's last breath completely disappeared from the world.

Tran Man Dao's whole body trembled, she put her head on his chest and cried loudly, her tears drenched in the entire hem of her shirt, which was covered in fresh blood, even seeping on the neck of the broken bronze-colored jade, but this time no miracle happened.

Doc Co Minh is truly dead. If he were still alive, he would only have one spiritual consciousness left that was constantly reflecting, remembering everything that had happened in his life.

At this moment, from afar, a tiny black shadow rushed towards the two people at the fastest speed. Tran Man Dao thought it was a demon in the abyss who came here to attack Doc Co Minh's body, so he waved his hand. created a purple flower bulb that sent out dozens of feet of black ball.

- Ah, I'm in pain, Tieu Minh Tu, you can't die, if you die, I'll take somewhere to the hot lake to bathe, where can I get my body to restore my peak state...

That tiny black shadow cried and surprised Tran Man Dao. Looking closely, this was not a demon but was clearly a black turtle.

- You're just an ordinary turtle without half a point of love, why can you get down here?

- What's normal turtle? Tell your little girl that I in ancient times was Supreme God Quy, I am the only one in heaven and earth, my handsome beauty is unparalleled, the number one flower in the six realms, even Ba Luan meets me. I have to run ten meters away...

The turtle raised its neck and said, its saliva splashing, causing Tran Man Dao to cover his face with the hem of his shirt.

- Her son, dare to despise me? In the past, as long as I spit out saliva, the true spirits immediately ran to beg and bow to the green to get a puff, but you dared to cover it with the hem of your shirt?

- I'm also an ancient person, but I've never heard of any strongman with such a title!

Tran Man Dao angrily stood up to transport spiritual energy as if to launch a killing move:

- Minh Vuong is dead, please immediately give up the idea of using him as a parasite!

- Parasitism? Being able to swim in the sea of suffering is a blessing that even Ba Luan does not have! Tell you no one save him except me... His soul is about to be sucked into the royal jet!
