AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic Vol 5 to ???

AZI Volume 6 Chapter 26

Holding little to no expectations, Long Hua stores Shui Yue away, and opens the treasure chest—inside, he finds a single item.

"...Hm?"

Holding a pale blue bottle by its neck, Long Hua pops the cap open, and takes a sniff of the content.

[Merely a body strengthening elixir. Simply drink it to experience its effect.]

As the dark clouds part, the colossal white serpent rears its head closer to the island.

"..."

Staring into the white serpent's azure-colored eyes, which are behind a layer of dark clouds, Long Hua asks—

"...This is it? After all that?"

(*-laoban...)

Seeing the attitude that Long Hua is taking with the unpleasant individual, the Tai Xuan Emperor turns nervous.

Not minding Long Hua's tone, the unpleasant individual answers—

[I do not consider Hai Zang to have been able to pose much of a challenge; hence, I find this elixir to be more than appropriate enough to serve as a reward. Do you know why I consider Hai Zang a failure?]

"..."

Although Hai Zang looks intimidating at first glance, Long Hua—who is reviewing the battle in his head, is quick to realize its major flaw.

"It doesn't possess a powerful main body. The moment its outer shell is destroyed, it becomes something that anyone can squeeze like a soft persimmon."

[Indeed. Not only that, but it must also reconstruct its vessel every time it finds new materials that can be used. At the same time, the entirety of the reconstruction process can take up to a year at a minimum. Possessing such an obvious weakness, a creature of that nature cannot possibly be considered the ultimate lifeform.]

"..."

Blinking his eyes, Long Hua summons the phantom maw of a serpent, and tosses the body strengthening elixir into it.

Snapping its lips shut, the maw swallows the elixir, along with the bottle.

Following this, Long Hua immediately feels an itch throughout his body, and looking down at his hands, he sees his skin drying up and cracking.

Rubbing his hands together, the dried skin chips right off and breaks into dust.

"...Hmm. Should have used this while I'm in the shower."

Not willing to deal with this discomfort, Long Hua draws a large quantity of water from the air, and basks himself inside a rotating pillar of water.

This bathing experience is probably akin to how articles of clothing would feel inside an active washing machine.

"..."

Leaving Long Hua to his own devices, Tian Cheng retrieves the combat bodies, along with the Machina Frame and its weapon.

.........

Emerging from the water pillar, Long Hua feels much more refreshed, as he forms a fist with his right hand.

And feeling a clear increase in his physical strength, the urge to test it manifests in Long Hua's heart, causing him to ask—

"So, where is the entrance into the next zone?"

Towards Long Hua's question, a simplistic magic array—consisting of only three white rings, manifests in the island's center.

[This teleportation magic array will take you to the second zone. However, be warned that Shā Chén (沙尘), the ruler of the zone isn't as easy to deal with.]
