Chapter 1061 Life Death Calamity! Life Death Valley!

His lifespan had increased, and with it, his potential continued to rise!"What’s going on... I didn’t do anything, so how could my lifespan limit have increased?"
Su Changkong was somewhat astonished.
During this period, Su Changkong had been enduring the torment of demonic whispers in his mind, constantly restraining the restless desires within his heart to destroy everything, rendering him unable to calm down to practice Martial Arts; there had been no breakthroughs in Martial Arts, yet unexpectedly, his lifespan had mysteriously increased by several decades.
It should be known that to reach Su Changkong’s level, unless there was significant breakthrough in realm, increasing one’s lifespan was extremely difficult!
"It must be because... my body is transforming towards a Demon Monster, and the lifespan of a Demon Monster is much longer than that of humans!"
But soon, Su Changkong figured out the fundamental reason in his mind.
Every creature has a lifespan limit; only the length varies.
Some long-aged species can live for an extended period, like plants, some of which can easily possess several hundred to even thousands of years of life!
Among various creatures, Demon Monsters are undoubtedly a long-lived species, and at the same rank, a Demon Monster’s lifespan far exceeds that of humans.
The reason Su Changkong’s lifespan was increasing was that he was gradually transforming into a Demon Monster, which was why his lifespan was increasing mysteriously!
"This is hardly... good news!" This made the corners of Su Changkong’s mouth twitch slightly. The more his lifespan increased, the closer he was to transforming into a Demon Monster.
During this time, Su Changkong also kept trying various methods to solve or delay his own transformation into a Demon Monster, but he was totally powerless.
It was an awful feeling, watching oneself step by step towards an abyss of no return, and yet unable to stop!
The process of transforming into a Demon Monster is irreversible! The Great Divine Power Elder Jiang Shoudao from the Jiang Family had even harbored killing intent toward Su Changkong, believing that he would inevitably become a demon and thus a great disaster. If it were not for the fact that Su Changkong was a Guest Elder of the Jiang Family, and had suffered this predicament because of the members of the Jiang Family, they would probably have strangled the danger in the cradle!
1160 years, 1180 years... 1200 years!
Just less than a month after the events in the Ancient Sea, Su Changkong’s lifespan limit had increased by more than a hundred years, almost increasing every day!
But this meant that Su Changkong’s body was continuously transforming into a Demon Monster, and Su Changkong could not feel the slightest happiness about this increase in lifespan and potential.
And a month later, Su Changkong, who had been sitting with closed eyes, opened his eyes, a flash of blood-red light briefly visible, a violent emotion brewing in his heart, and after a long while, he gradually controlled the emotions within him, the blood light receded from his eyes.
"Jiang Yao has arrived…"
Su Changkong took out his Identity Token, someone had come to the outside of his Cave Mansion.
Su Changkong did not hesitate, choosing to open the Cave Mansion and let Jiang Yao in.
Before long, in the Floating Cloud Cave Mansion, someone entered; besides Jiang Yao, another person entered, a white-haired and white-bearded man, precisely the Great Divine Power Martial Artist ’Jiang Shoudao’ who had appeared in the Ancient Sea that day.
"How have you been during this time?"
Jiang Shoudao sized up Su Changkong, breaking the silence with an inquiry.
"Alright, I guess…"
Su Changkong shook his head, his condition during this time naturally couldn’t be considered good, as he could feel his body transforming into a Demon Monster every day.
Jiang Shoudao didn’t indulge in excessive pleasantries with Su Changkong, he said solemnly, "To speak frankly... in history, the incidents of humans transforming into Demon Monsters are not many, and those like you who are involuntarily subjected to a forced Heavenly Demon Transformation Ceremony by a Heavenly Demon are even fewer, almost nonexistent."
Su Changkong nodded slightly.
Transforming a person completely into a Demon Monster was inherently a severe condition.
The first requirement was a Monster Soul Token, which only a Demon Monster King, comparable to a Martial Artist with Great Divine Power, possessed. Heavenly Demons also held the Monster Soul Token, but in limited numbers, so they would not use it lightly.
The second requirement was the cultivation of a Primordial Spirit, which made these two conditions extremely strict together.
Jiang Yuanwu had racked his brains wanting to transform into a Demon Monster. However, the Divine Envoy secretly observing detected that Su Changkong met the conditions for transformation into a Demon Monster and had unbelievable potential, prompting their interest to perform the Demon Transformation Ceremony on him.
Failure wouldn’t be a great loss, but success would mean their faction gaining another with boundless potential.
Such cases were almost undocumented in the Jiang Family’s secret scriptures.
Meanwhile, the Jiang Family had discussed how to handle this matter during this period and Jiang Shoudao’s personal visit likely meant they had reached a decision.
Jiang Shoudao stared at Su Changkong and said, "Actually, the Demon Transformation Ceremony is irreversible, other than completely transforming into a Demon Monster, or else death, there is no third possibility."
Despite being somewhat prepared, Su Changkong felt a slight heaviness in his heart upon hearing that even the Jiang Family couldn’t solve it.
If even the most powerful and profound Jiang Family in the Ancient Holy Country couldn’t handle it, then it was likely truly hopeless!
"However... perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope. I’m not saying solving the hidden dangers in your body, but delaying the Demon Transformation Ceremony should be doable. The family has decided to give you an opportunity to enter Life-Death Valley,"
Jiang Shoudao said.
"Life-Death Valley?"
Su Changkong was puzzled, having never heard of this place before.
Beside him, Jiang Yao explained, "Life-Death Valley is a secret realm controlled by the Jiang Family, created by the First Saint. Life-Death Valley... it is a peculiar place that automatically evolves the ’Life-Death Tribulation’ according to the situation of the entrants. Each person’s test inside is different, and it’s extremely dangerous... even for a Martial Artist with Great Divine Power, there is a risk of perishing."
Su Changkong’s mouth twitched slightly as he listened— a secret realm created by the First Saint, where even Martial Artists with Great Divine Power risked perishing?
"Between life and death, one can achieve breakthroughs, Nirvana transformation! Enter Life-Death Valley, and either die, turn to ashes, or live, undergo Nirvana transformation!"
Jiang Shoudao spoke calmly.
"Entering Life-Death Valley is extremely valuable. Other Ancient Sects and Ancient Clans usually have to pay a huge price to the Jiang Family to get in," Jiang Yao said.
Su Changkong roughly understood the Jiang Family’s intentions now, giving him the opportunity to enter Life-Death Valley, where it would evolve ’Life-Death Tribulation’ according to each person’s different situations.
To pass the Life-Death Tribulation test, one must achieve a great breakthrough, essentially stimulating all one’s potential.
Given Su Changkong’s current situation, the Jiang Family could not help him. It might be better to try his luck in Life-Death Valley. If he could overcome the Life-Death Tribulation, Su Changkong would surely achieve some great breakthrough or transformation, improving his own situation. Perhaps it might resolve the hidden dangers in his body or at least delay the process of transforming into a Demon Monster.
"How many people have passed the Life-Death Valley test?"
Su Changkong asked.
"Not many… even can be said to be very few. In the most recent thousand years of our Jiang Family, only our current Holy Emperor Jiang has passed the Life-Death Tribulation and walked out of Life-Death Valley by his own strength."
Jiang Shoudao told the truth.
Holy Emperor Jiang, today’s ruler of the Ancient Holy Country, was almost one of the strongest in the current Ancient Holy Country, and only he had managed to pass the ’Life-Death Tribulation’ of Life-Death Valley in the recent millennium!
