Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 615 - 590: Creatures of the Ganges River

The red and white flames drew near the vortex on the Ganges River.

The white elder watched from behind, and five figures appeared behind him, each using the eyes of the Seven-Colored Glaze Ball to attentively see Wang Xu off.

"Even if only a soul remains, you can still feel this icy coldness."

The soul parasitizes in the flames, yet Wang Xu retains consciousness and can clearly sense the soul aura emanating from the Ganges, that frozen chill causing his soul to involuntarily tremble.

The closer he got to the Ganges, the more violently Wang Xu's soul trembled.

Eventually, even the red and white flames dimmed slightly, indicating that even the Devouring Fire felt some trepidation in the face of such an immense and terrifying soul aura.

Suddenly, the speed of the red and white flames flying toward the Ganges began to accelerate.

A frenzied pulling force emanated from the vortex in the Ganges, continuously dragging the Fire of Silence inward.

"You Ji!"

"I understand!" You Ji's expression was solemn, and his spirit was also focused to the extreme.

The situation they faced was like a small boat swaying on a raging sea; if they couldn't steady themselves, they could be overturned by giant waves at any moment, shattered into pieces, and sunk to the ocean floor.

Neither dare to relax, fighting the intense pulling force with the red and white flames, gradually nearing the vortex.

Perhaps due to the force of the vortex, the original cold chill disappeared, and Wang Xu was no longer troubled by the cold.

They drew near.

Both Wang Xu and You Ji were cautious, knowing that any mistake could cost them their lives!

Wang Xu certainly didn't want to be buried in this vortex before even reaching the Ganges Realm.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, as soon as the red and white flames reached a certain distance from the vortex, the pulling force intensified!

It was as if the wind suddenly shifted from a normal typhoon to a catastrophic hurricane, the difference evident, and even though You Ji had anticipated this possibility, he found it hard to resist the pulling force, and the red and white flames were fiercely sucked into the vortex, completely engulfed.

"I hope they can safely reach the Ganges Realm."

The white elder said, turning to merge with the void.

...

"Ah..."

As soon as they entered the vortex, Wang Xu and You Ji both let out painful cries simultaneously.

Pain!

It was as if their souls were slowly being sliced by knives, the agonizing pain causing even the ever-determined Wang Xu to cry out.

You Ji suffered even more.

How could he endure such an excruciating pain?

Having always been the one to inflict pain on others, it was the first time he found himself in such a painful situation!

"I... I said... we shouldn't... we shouldn't have come here!"

You Ji's words were squeezed out through gritted teeth, enduring the pain, "Wang... Wang Xu... if... if we reach the Ganges... Ganges Realm... you must... must compensate me!"

"If we truly reach the Ganges Realm, I will definitely compensate you!"

Although Wang Xu was also unbearably pained, for him, who had endured myriad torments, this pain was not enough to render him speechless.

Surrounding lights flickered, and in a vortex passage seemingly forged by countless soul lights, the red and white flames were being pulled forward frantically.

As the vortex passage spun continuously, it felt to Wang Xu and You Ji as if their souls were being cut, twisted, and crushed... subjected to various forms of torture.

"You Ji! You must hold on; don't fall asleep no matter what!" Wang Xu shouted.

"Don't worry, as long as you can endure, I can too!" You Ji gritted his teeth.

The soul can sleep.

Once overwhelmed by intolerable pain or damage, the consciousness within the soul gradually blurs and eventually falls into a deep sleep.

After falling asleep, no matter how the soul transforms, it will not feel any bits of pain.

But in this case, they would lose consciousness, left at the mercy of others.

Now was the critical moment; if You Ji's soul fell asleep, the red and white flames would lose complete control, possibly "capsizing" and getting torn apart and destroyed by the vortex!

They could only grit their teeth and endure.

"Damn... how long... how long will this last?" You Ji said in pain.

Regret had begun to well up in his heart.

They should never have gone to the Ganges Realm or paid attention to the invasion of the Ganges creatures!

They should have stayed in Chaos, enjoying life while they could...

But no matter how much You Ji regretted, he couldn't change the current situation.

"Don't worry, hang in there; it will soon be over!" Wang Xu said, enduring the pain.

He said it would be soon, yet thousands of years passed quietly, and they still lingered within the vortex passage.

"How much longer... how long... I can't hold on anymore... I'd rather fall asleep..." You Ji's voice was incredibly weak.

"You Ji, hold on, we're almost there. We've endured so long and suffered so much pain that giving up now would mean we suffered in vain. You can't allow yourself to get the worst end of the deal, don't give up." Wang Xu's voice also carried a hint of weariness.

A thousand years of painful torment, even someone as resilient as Wang Xu, found it hard to maintain his original spirit.

Fortunately, the thousand years of torment numbed both Wang Xu and You Ji, preventing them from wailing and complaining like at the beginning.

Time ticked by second by second.

Wang Xu was chatting with You Ji, discussing what might happen in the Chaos.

You Ji's words were full of longing; he longed to return to the Chaos where no one dared to provoke him, enjoying a life of freedom.

Wang Xu did not interrupt You Ji's fantasies. Faced with the uncertain arrival at the Ganges Realm, they both felt a sense of despair, even sometimes imagining that they might never reach the Ganges Realm.

These beautiful fantasies, although unable to change the facts, at least slightly lessened the despair in their hearts.

Thousands of years later.

"You Ji, look!"

The once exceedingly weak Wang Xu suddenly spoke, his words filled with excitement.

"It's light... such bright light!" You Ji's soul was fragile to the extreme, persisting only by Will alone.

After thousands of years of torment and endless fear, it was a miracle that You Ji had held on until now.

But when he saw a vast light emerging at the other end of the vortex, the previously weak red-and-white Fire suddenly blazed, becoming extraordinarily vibrant.

"We've made it... finally, damn you Wang Xu, damn you Ganges Realm, I can finally leave this hellish place!" You Ji's voice was excited, even carrying a hint of sobbing.

Clearly, the years of painful torment had pushed the otherwise tough You Ji to his limit.

He had always subjected others to torment; when had it become his turn to endure such pain?

"Haha..." Wang Xu let out a hearty laugh.

He too was extremely excited.

No one wished to endure inexplicable torment without knowing if there was an end or when it would stop.

The unknown was always the most terrifying thing.

With the giant stone in Wang Xu's heart finally able to be put down, he could breathe a long sigh of relief.

As they got closer to that light, their excitement grew even more.

"Ganges Realm... here I come!" Wang Xu thought firmly.

Whoosh!

The red-and-white Fire completely merged into that light.

The painful torment receded like a tide, but before Wang Xu and You Ji could feel joy, a sudden wave of overwhelming dizziness struck them.

"What's happening... what... what is going on..." Wang Xu only felt a blur before his eyes, his vision hazy, and a drowsiness swept over him, leaving only one thought in his mind: to have a good sleep!

"No... Wang Xu... I can't hold on any longer... I really can't... I want to sleep... need to sleep..." You Ji's voice was filled with drowsiness, struggling between dreams and wakefulness, increasingly weak.

"Can't sleep... by no means can we sleep... sleeping would be the end... the end..."

Wang Xu was also desperately struggling.

Can't sleep.

Must not sleep.

If they succumbed to sleep, it would all be over.

But Wang Xu's Will was already exhausted after thousands of years in the vortex passageway; he was utterly unable to resist the deep drowsiness coming over him.

In the end, Wang Xu and You Ji could no longer hold on and fell completely asleep in their half-aware state.

Time passed swiftly like this.

Unknown whether it was a year, two years, or one Law Era, two Law Eras, or even longer.

Wang Xu and You Ji could no longer feel the existence of time, with no perception at all.

Until that moment—

"Huff!"

Wang Xu suddenly opened his eyes wide, standing upright.

His expression was fearful, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Where am I..."

All memories rushed in like a tide. Wang Xu instantly recalled everything before he slept, "I couldn't hold on in the end, I fell asleep?"

"Where am I now?"

Wang Xu suddenly looked up, glancing around.

What greeted his view was a lush, ancient forest with towering trees a hundred meters high, blocking out the sun.

All kinds of peculiar plants that had never appeared in the Chaos presented themselves to Wang Xu, his eyes nervously scanning the surroundings.

"Is this... the Ganges Realm?"

Wang Xu murmured softly, but as he spoke these words, his pupils suddenly shrank!

He looked down, seeing the most unbelievable sight.

"This..."

From his Ice Crystal-like body, a bright blue hue emerged, the sunlight making the ice crystals shine, "Ice Crystal Body... I've become a creature of the Ganges!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Wang Xu finally discovered the frightening fact.

He raised his hand, and sure enough, he no longer had five fingers like a human, but an irregular rhombus-shaped ice crystal spike, like an Ice Spike.

"One finger... I am now in the 'Ancestral Spirit' Realm of the Ganges; I have passed through that vortex, reborn as a creature of the Ganges!" Wang Xu had completely confirmed this fact.

He was no longer part of the Chaos, but a being of the Ganges Realm! (To be continued. If you like this work, please go to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
