Whoosh!
The paper turned to ashes.
Mysteriously, a profound energy descended all around.
It was indescribable.
Like a majestic righteous energy filling the heavens and the earth, or the ethereal essence from the nine heavens above.
Jiang Fan suddenly felt something intangible draining from within him.
His pale skin started to yellow, his jet-black hair became dull and withered then turned white, his vision began to blur.
Hearing, smell, and touch all weakened at a visible speed.
Then, the Nascent Soul Power, Void Flow Fire Force, Thunder Power in his body, and the power of his Physique all started to decline.
Bi Luo exclaimed, "Fan, stop immediately!"
In mere breaths, Jiang Fan transformed from a nineteen-year-old handsome youth into an elderly man with white hair and wrinkled skin.
And he continued to weaken rapidly.
Before the Giant King could devour him, he would age into a pile of rotten flesh.
The Six-Path Masters were horrified, "You are sacrificing your Life Force!"
The Giant King, who initially wanted to eat Jiang Fan, retracted his tongue and showed disdain:
"A mere Three Apertures Nascent Soul dares to wield Words and Laws Follow against a Divinity Transformation expert?"
"Did the one who gave you the talisman paper not warn you about having too grand a wish?"
The Giant King, having previously fought with beings from the Central Earth World, naturally knew many human tricks.
The current Words and Laws Follow, required a price to be paid.
Skilled Confucianism experts nurtured Vast Energy within themselves, using such righteousness as a cost to cast Words and Laws Follow.
Jiang Fan, who wasn’t a Confucian martial artist, would be okay for minor wishes.
At most, he would only suffer a headache or slight fever, and in severe cases, fall into a coma.
But Jiang Fan’s heart was too ambitious.
He dared to oppose a Divinity Transformation Venerable.
Without Vast Energy, he could only pay with his Life Force!
Without any intervention, Jiang Fan would perish.
Once he died, the Words and Laws Follow would be interrupted.
This meant that his life would be wasted, failing to execute Words and Laws Follow.
Jiang Fan did not panic.
He recalled the Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader, who had saved himself after being hit by his Execution Pen, trapped in a death state.
At that time, the Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader swallowed a grain of Space-Time Dust, using its formidable Life Force to fend off death’s erosion.
And Space-Time Dust.
Jiang Fan was not lacking!
Where the Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader took one grain, he would take a handful!
He grabbed a handful of Space-Time Dust.
Regardless of how many grains there were, he stuffed them all into his mouth.
The powerful Life Force immediately restored his withered body.
One grain, two grains, three grains...
Finally, after ten grains of Space-Time Dust were consumed, the loss of life force stopped.
This indicated that the cost of Words and Laws Follow had been fully paid!
One grain of Space-Time Dust could extend life by over sixty years.
Ten grains meant six hundred years.
Equivalent to four lives of Jiang Fan!
Being in the Nascent Soul Realm truly was not qualified to make such grand wishes!
The Giant King, who was preparing to depart, suddenly sensed something amiss.
His pupils contracted.
A strong surge of unease abruptly pulsed in his heart.
"Did you succeed in your wish?"
He gasped in horror and decisively thrust out his long tongue to kill Jiang Fan, for if he died, the wish would not come true.
But unexpectedly.
