True and False Immortal Bodies, Tower Spirit Appears

Chapter 373 True and False Immortal Bodies, Tower Spirit Appears

"The Holy Son actually went in—"

As they gazed at the slowly closing, ultimately vanishing chaotic passage, someone on the summit murmured, their voice filled with unbelievable awe.

These words express the sentiments of everyone at this moment.

Fu Tu Xuan and Tai Ming Lao Zu exchanged a glance, both able to see the lingering astonishment in each other's eyes.

Although they had great confidence in Lu Yu, they never expected that this holy son would break the "established rule" that had lasted for tens of thousands of years in such a way, and directly knock on the tower door that was tightly closed during non-Eternal Gathering periods.

Elder Lin Xuan remained silent, but deep within his aged eyes surged a complex emotion.

The way Lu Yu elicited the tower spirit's response—that pure, seemingly genuine aura of immortality—combined with his previous displayed schemes, led to an even more astonishing conjecture forming in his mind.

Could it be that this holy son already has some unknown connection with that eternally immortal body?

Mahamin's face was now more than just gloomy; it was ashen. He stared intently at the now silent, mottled pagoda, his hands clenched into fists within his sleeves, his nails almost digging into his palms.

Lu Yu not only went in, but he went in in a way that completely overturned the Maha Ancient Clan's understanding of tens of thousands of years!

This was nothing short of a resounding slap across the face of the Mahagu people.

What chilled him even more was the faint aura that Lu Yu had just exuded—

Elder Lin————

Maha Ming's voice was extremely hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor, "The aura on this child just now—"

Lin Xuan slowly turned his head, looking at him calmly: "Chief Maha also noticed? That is indeed extraordinary."

He didn't say much, but his meaning was clear.

Lu Yu's entry wasn't a forced exception, but rather seemed to have been approved by the tower spirit. Where did this qualification come from? And what was its connection to that aura? It was enough to make one's imagination run wild.

Mahamin felt a tightness in his chest, as if a huge rock was lodged there. He suddenly realized that Lu Yu's entry into the tower was probably not just a simple "experiment".

If he truly gains the tower spirit's approval, and even touches that Dharma body—

The consequences would be unimaginable!

But now, the tower gates are closed. Unless Lu Yu comes out on his own, or waits for the Eternal Gathering hundreds of years later, no one can enter again. They can only wait.

An eerie silence fell upon the summit. All eyes were fixed on the ancient stone tower, awaiting the moment when the doors would reopen.

Inside the Eternal Pagoda at this moment.

The scene before them was completely different from what outsiders imagined a sacred place of inheritance to be. An ancient aura permeated the world, the earth was fragmented and crisscrossed with ravines, as if it had experienced a world-destroying war that swept across the heavens and the earth countless years ago.

As far as the eye could see, there was only desolation and ruin, with only bleakness and deathly silence eternally entrenched.

In the center of this shattered world, a colossal, dark red mountain stands silently.

It is no ordinary mountain; it exudes an indescribable aura of antiquity and immortality, with mysterious patterns faintly visible on its surface, conveying a sense of unsettling mystery.

In front of the dark red mountain, a tall, gray-white stone platform stood alone.

Lu Yu's figure quietly appeared on the stone platform.

His gaze immediately fell upon the dark red mountain in front of him.

The moment his gaze fell upon the mountain, deep within his dantian, in the core nurturing space of the Holy Pagoda, his dormant, cracked crystal body suddenly trembled violently.

An unprecedentedly strong resonance emanated from that broken Dharma body, like a wanderer returning home, like the call of blood.

Without needing any confirmation, Lu Yu already understood.

The unique aura of antiquity, immortality, and mystery emanating from that dark red mountain—originates from the same source as this broken, eternally immortal body!

Just then—

boom!

As if sensing the pulsation of the same source Dharma body within Lu Yu's body, the majestic dark red mountain suddenly trembled violently, emitting a deafening roar.

Immediately afterwards, cracks appeared all over the surface of the mountain, and finally, with a deafening roar that shook the entire shattered space, it completely collapsed!

An ancient pillar of light, indescribably vast, shot into the sky from the core of the shattered mountain, piercing through heaven and earth. The pillar was filled with boundless, immortal energy, and countless primordial patterns appeared and disappeared.

After a long while, the pillar of light slowly dissipated.

Where the beam of light dissipated, a body about ten feet tall stood silently above the shattered sky.

That body was a dark gold color, mottled with color, and its surface was engraved with primordial patterns that seemed to have existed since the beginning of time. Each pattern was mysterious and profound, containing an indescribable and boundless power.

It simply stood there, motionless, yet a terrifying wave of energy, heavy and oppressive to the soul, spread out like a tide, filled with a destructive power and an almost tyrannical, ancient pressure.

However, as Lu Yu gazed at the massive, dark golden body, his eyes did not reveal the ecstatic joy of obtaining a treasure. Instead, a hint of understanding and a deeper, sharp glint flashed across them.

"Fake product —"

He muttered to himself, his voice clearly audible in the silent, broken world.

The true immortal body is forged from the purest immortal essence of heaven and earth. Its color should be flawless glass, with inner radiance, eternal and indestructible, representing the supreme and true meaning of immortality.

The body before them, though exuding an astonishing aura of immortality and power fluctuations, was mottled with dark gold, and its aura leaned more towards extreme ferocity and destruction, lacking that harmonious and eternal charm.

This is clearly a replica of the Eternal Immortal Body, which was created by the Eternal Tower by absorbing a portion of the immortal essence accumulated over tens of thousands of years, combined with the special environment inside the tower and the lingering resentment of those immortal golden-bodied dead.

Or rather, it is a battle husk that possesses immense power but has failed to grasp the "true meaning of immortality".

Just as Lu Yu was pondering, the dark golden shadow slowly raised its head, its empty eyes, devoid of any emotion, fixedly on Lu Yu on the stone platform.

Then, it opened its mouth, and a mechanical, indifferent voice, seemingly from the ages past, boomed across the shattered world: "Hand it over—!"

"thing----"

The moment the words left his mouth, the dark golden shadow suddenly moved!

Without any warning, its massive body transformed into a dark golden streak that tore through space, carrying a force powerful enough to shatter mountains.

The terrifying power and speed that could crush stars shot straight toward Lu Yu!

Wherever it passed, the already broken space groaned under its strain, leaving a dark trail in its wake!

"Ha, you want to forcibly seize the Eternal Body from me?"

Lu Yu chuckled lightly. Facing the dark golden shadow that shot towards him with the force of destruction, he not only did not retreat a single step, but his eyes instead ignited a fierce fighting spirit.

He didn't even take out the sacred artifact; he simply took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and the vast power of the sacred spiritual energy and the Thunder Prison Spirit Array within his body instantly surged and condensed on his fist.

There were no fancy moves, just a punch of pure power, which was fiercely thrown at the dark golden light!

Boom!

The instant the fist collided with the dark gold shell, a terrifying shockwave, visible to the naked eye, suddenly exploded in a ring, lifting countless boulders from the already shattered earth below.

The menacing dark gold shadow abruptly halted its charge, its massive body flying backward at an even greater speed than before, like a hurled meteorite!

Boom!

It crashed heavily onto a dilapidated mountain peak in the distance, snapping it in half and kicking up clouds of dust.

"Its power is decent, but unfortunately—it's ultimately an inanimate object."

Lu Yu withdrew his fist, his tone calm. In a flash, he appeared before the dark golden shadow that had just struggled to its feet.

"It's time to end this."

Before the words were even finished, the second punch had already landed. This punch was crackling with purplish-black lightning, exuding a chilling aura of destruction—it was the power of Thunder Prison enhanced by the Thunder Prison Floating Pagoda Pearl!

boom!

The fist fell, as if divine punishment had descended.

The seemingly indestructible body of the Dark Gold Shadow shattered like fragile glass under the force of the fist, which contained sacred spiritual power and destructive lightning.

Countless dark golden fragments, mixed with a rich aura of immortality, exploded with a deafening roar!

Lu Yu's eyes narrowed, and his hands formed a hand seal with lightning speed.

"St. Buddha Tower, suppress!"

hum!

A phantom of a holy tower, its entire body shimmering with crystal luster and exuding the aura of an ancient pagoda, appeared above his head. It expanded instantly, enveloping the dark gold fragments that were about to dissipate and the surging immortal essence.

"Floating Fire, Refine!"

Inside the Holy Pagoda, the pure and blazing Holy Fire of the Pagoda rose up, transforming into a vast sea of ​​fire that enveloped the fragments and the essence. The flames not only refined the purest immortal essence but also burned away the consciousness and impurities remaining in the replica's shell.

In just a few breaths, all the fragments melted away, the impurities were burned away, leaving only a ball of immortal primordial light the size of a human head, with a dark gold and glassy luster, extremely condensed and pure, slowly rising and falling in the Floating Fire.

Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes.

With a thought, he summoned his dormant crystal body from the depths of his dantian.

After being nurtured by the Tai Ling Ancient Diagram for some time, the structure of this eternally immortal body, which was on the verge of collapse, has been stabilized. Even the finest cracks have quietly healed a little, and the dull luster of the glass has been restored to a touch of warmth.

At this moment, it seemed to sense the strong call of the same source of power, and its whole body emitted a faint wave of longing.

"Go, this is the nourishment for your recovery."

Lu Yu flicked his finger, and the ball of pure immortal primordial light, like a swallow returning to its nest, instantly disappeared into the chest of the damaged Glazed Body.

hum!

The crystal body burst forth with a brilliant yet gentle light, and the pure essence, like sweet rain, poured into the parched earth, rapidly permeating and merging with it.

On the surface of the Dharma body, the cracks that were once stabilized by the Tai Ling Ancient Diagram are now rapidly healing and disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the luster of the glass is becoming purer and brighter, like a peerless gem that has been carefully polished.

An ancient, vast, perfect, and seemingly timeless aura, like a sleeping dragon fully awakened, erupted from within the Dharma body!

This aura was no longer weak, but carried a profound, majestic, and eternally enduring true meaning!

Soon after, the light dissipated, and a complete, ancient, immortal body, about ten feet tall, with a flawless, glassy luster flowing throughout, floated silently in front of Lu Yu.

Its inner radiance is profound, as if a galaxy flows beneath its skin, and every primal line is clear and mysterious, exuding a breathtakingly eternal charm.

The immortal body has finally been completely restored!

Upon seeing this, Lu Yu's eyes immediately lit up with joy, "There is actually a second eternally immortal body in the world!"

Just then, an extremely ancient voice, seemingly spanning countless years, quietly echoed through the space.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Eternal Pagoda began to shake violently!
