Chapter 51: “the Five Tribulations Of Becoming An Immortal!”
The third minute of being attacked by the Blood Ghost.
Jiang Shan now looked entirely like a corpse soaked in water for dozens of days, overall presenting a weird special “Giant View”.
Now, the Dead Face Ghost inside his body was firmly suppressed, unable to release its Ghost Domain,
and the suppression from the Ghost Characters was completely useless.
At this moment, Jiang Shan couldn’t do anything; even slightly moving his body required enduring immense pain.
Blood,
his body now seemed to contain endless blood
If bystanders were present, seeing Jiang Shan’s current appearance would absolutely terrify them, making their whole body chill.
A grotesquely bloated “fat man”, covered in crimson characters of unknown content, his seven orifices and skin all over his body continuously oozing blood, that blood viscous and fetid.
Jiang Shan’s current appearance was exactly like a malevolent ghost suffering cruel torture in Hell.
“Ghost Characters! Prophecy! Prophecy!”
“Bang~!”
Just as Jiang Shan desperately activated the Ghost Characters prophecy, another eyeball burst open.
He completely lost his vision, his eyes filled with darkness.
Intense pain.
Rotten stench.
Blindness.
Deafness.
Muteness.
Heart rupture.
These were all the sensations coming from Jiang Shan’s body right now; he was in as much pain as if suffering the five punishments.
“Fuck!”
Feeling that endless intense pain like a tidal wave, Jiang Shan cursed in his heart.
Now, his body was swelling more and more, as if it would explode the next second, with corpse fragments scattering everywhere.
This time, the Ghost Characters seemed to sense the threat, appearing in Jiang Shan’s mind at an unprecedented speed, with the content stating:
“I’m going to die! I’ll die under the Fierce Ghost’s attack soon!”
“Urgh~!”
The Ghost Characters kept writing in Jiang Shan’s mind, but he felt his throat filled with fresh blood.
He was about to hold on no longer!
“As long as I think nothing, I can avoid the Ghost’s Killing Pattern. If I use the Ghost Rope to hang myself, then immediately use the Ghost Finger to put myself into false death, I can avoid the Ghost’s attack. That Ghost doesn’t exist in the future, nor remain in the past; it forever lives in the moment. I must approach it and use the Ghost Face to Restart; perhaps this will bring a ray of hope.”
In just a few short seconds, the Ghost Characters presented most of the content. This time, under the influence of the Blood Rain, Jiang Shan didn’t feel that peeping sensation at all.
This was enough to show how terrifying the suppression of the Ghost Blood on the Ghost had reached.
But what shocked Jiang Shan the most was still that “only existing in the present” Ghost that walked out from the Ghost Blood!
“Only Restart can affect that Ghost?”
Jiang Shan now stood rigidly in place; the pain from all over his body had nearly made him faint. If he moved slightly, he wouldn’t doubt he might be painfully killed alive,
but at his body’s current swelling speed, in at most three minutes, he would be burst open alive by the continuously surging fresh blood from inside!
He had to do something!
“Urgh~”
“Fuck off!”
Just as Jiang Shan vomited blood crazily again, he made up his mind:
Dying from pain is death,
being burst by blood is also death!
Before being painfully killed alive, following the Ghost Characters’ method might still offer a last way to survive!
Jiang Shan’s forehead veins bulged; his hands hanging at his sides reached toward his pocket, his involuntarily trembling body undoubtedly showing he was enduring immense pain.
“Got it!”
When his fingers touched the thin layer of gold leaf on the Straw Rope, Jiang Shan felt a surge of joy.
After initially suppressing the Ghost Rope to dormancy, he had wrapped the rope completely with special gold leaf,
after all, he couldn’t use Ghost Characters to suppress the Ghost Rope every moment, so wrapping it with gold leaf was the best method Jiang Shan could think of.
If he needed to use it, he just had to wipe off that layer of gold leaf.
The moment he grabbed the Ghost Rope, Jiang Shan’s hand frantically wiped the gold leaf off the Straw Rope; the initial idea was so good, now its torment on him was just as deep.
Every wiping motion brought intense pain tearing at Jiang Shan’s nerves.
“Fuck, it hurts so much!”
When most of the gold leaf on the Ghost Rope was wiped off, Jiang Shan felt a chilling yin cold that made his scalp tingle suddenly appear on his neck.
Immediately after, a tattered, old Straw Rope instantly hanged him up!
A strong suffocation made Jiang Shan wildly joyful in his heart; he had thought the Ghost Rope would be suppressed by that sky-full of Ghost Blood,
but unexpectedly, the Ghost Characters’ method actually worked.
The next moment after being hanged by the Ghost Rope, Jiang Shan steeled himself, abruptly raised his right hand, and ruthlessly inserted a withered, shriveled finger through his hollow eye socket into his brain.
“Ah~!”
The instant that finger inserted, it felt like all the pain sensations surged over at once,
the flood-like violent pain made Jiang Shan faint instantly.
At the same time, the Ghost Rope wasn’t unaffected by the Ghost Blood at all,
though it had resurrected now, under the Ghost Blood’s suppression, the Straw Rope stained with Ghost Blood didn’t fully tighten around Jiang Shan.
Now, Jiang Shan was hanged in the air by the Ghost Rope, his body continuously swaying.
The weirdness wasn’t just that Straw Rope,
in Jiang Shan’s hollow eye sockets, one could see that withered finger had completely pierced into his brain matter.
Scientifically speaking,
Jiang Shan was deader than dead; even the King of Hell would shake his head,
his neck strangled to distortion and deformation, brain matter pierced by the finger, and body about to explode,
even as a Ghost Wielder, this situation was certain death.
But Jiang Shan didn’t die,
accurately speaking, his consciousness didn’t die.
The original work had few descriptions of that withered finger; initially, Jiang Shan only knew it could restrict Ghost Domains and slightly suppress Fierce Ghosts,
but after Jiang Shan broke the cauldrons and sank the boats in a desperate attempt, he discovered his consciousness seemed “nailed” in place by the withered finger.
This finger could not only restrict Ghosts, but also restrict human consciousness!
Jiang Shan, who had already passed out from pain, unexpectedly woke up again after an unknown time!
Jiang Shan could feel that his current consciousness was like a paper slip full of memory, nailed dead in place by that finger.
Because of his body’s death, the blood surging from nowhere in Jiang Shan’s body disappeared.
For the dead, the Fierce Ghost’s curse no longer took effect.
It could be said,
without the withered finger “nailing” Jiang Shan’s consciousness, he would have died eight hundred times over by now.
In the current situation, Jiang Shan couldn’t say clearly what he was exactly?
A ghost, a mass of consciousness, or a pile of memory.
“I can still drive the Dead Face Ghost now?” Discovering this, Jiang Shan was shocked, then a feeling of surviving a disaster surged in his heart,
having a Ghost Domain meant at least some room to struggle,
compared to waiting for death,
at least there was some hope.
After regaining consciousness, Jiang Shan tried to activate the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain; in an instant, Black Haze enveloped tens of thousands of meters around,
even though he was now in the suburbs, the Black Haze even covered most of Dachang City.
This wasn’t Jiang Shan wanting to drag everyone down with him before death; the moment he drove the Dead Face Ghost, he could no longer control the Ghost Domain’s range,
if not for that Blood Ghost crawling out from the Ghost Blood still affecting the Dead Face Ghost nearby,
the fully spreading Dead Face Ghost Ghost Domain could even cover all of Dachang City, with even the villages around Dachang City’s suburbs unable to escape!
This meant that once Jiang Shan died,
after the Dead Face Ghost resurrected, it wouldn’t even need the Starving Ghost to emerge,
relying on this three-layer intensity Ghost Domain, and its characteristic of devouring Supernatural to continuously grow,
not to mention all the Ghost Wielders in Dachang City,
even the Starving Ghost would be continuously devoured of its Supernatural by the Dead Face Ghost, ultimately devoured by the Dead Face Ghost to become a Ghost Face.
With two Ghost Faces both having three-layer intensity Ghost Domains, Jiang Shan didn’t dare imagine how terrifying the Dead Face Ghost would be with five or ten Ghost Faces.
At that time, Dachang City would completely become a dead zone,
a dead zone of humans and ghosts
