After The Apocalypse, I Was Transmigrated Into a Cultivation World

The hall was eerily silent as Mu Shen took deep breaths. 

Yama's Needles was difficult, he had spent almost ten hours trying to comprehend it but, it was yielding nothing at all. Mu Shen's current form was seated along the corridor leading into the thirteenth floor and, the being of death can simply win the Orcs of the twelfth floor and decide to continue it's chase. 

Mu Shen was uneasy so he immediately moved from his original position so that he can find another technique. 

"Ah, I really need a technique that aids comprehension. I'd really survive more with such a technique." 

And just as he was contemplating, his soul was rudely pulled out of the stone of inheritance. It took a few breaths and Mu Shen felt a blinding pain. 

The sky shattered completely as darkness seem to drown in the tide of nothingness. 

The stone of inheritance dropped from his grasp and his body was sent flying. 

'D— damnation!' 

The unholy scythe flashed and the encroaching darkness seem to sink down and suddenly, it seemed as if there was no gravity at all. 

Mu Shen's body drifted through out of his own control. 

All cultivators were given the gift of flight after they become a Melder. Once they breakthrough, it is as if their meridian and the sky is merged as one. It means, the universe would be able to respond to them, granting them the universal law of flight and speed. 

Mu Shen is only a Sentinel and wasn't granted the power of flight so he was in a critical state. 

The being of pure death stared at Mu Shen with cold, black holes-like eyes that seemed hollow and empty and requested; 

"I might spare you. Return back the Restoration technique." 

Mu Shen's world instantly screeched to a halt. 

"Restoration technique?" 

The ability to restore the damages done to one's body in a matter of seconds. Restoration! 

'Is the Restoration technique an invincible Technique?'

Mu Shen wondered. 

But the being of pure death sneered; "you don't want to give it?" 

The darkness around suddenly became deep and thick while the gravity which had been low simply vanished, which means Mu Shen could not control his body even if he wanted to. Only by manipulating space would he gain control, but the being of pure death had eliminated space to imbue the arbitrary gravity which had simply erased movement. 

"You have three seconds…" 

Mu Shen's heart sank.

"Three,"

"two,"

"one?" 

The darkness suddenly moved. 

Mu Shen watched the scythe descend. It parted the billowing darkness, parted the starry sky and parted all of existence and then— 

It slashed down at Mu Shen. 

Unable to move, Mu Shen tried to resist. He activated The Heavenly Dao of seven rivers technique causing the world to warp. 

His strength climaxed. It felt as if he could lift the world on a whim. However, the scythe landed, instantly cutting through everything. 

Mu Shen's eyes widened in horror, but he could not do anything but watch his own body be cut into two by the scythe. 

The feeling of death again. 

He had just died. 

But he had also not died.

Mu Shen saw the darkness drop and vanish, he also saw the universe calm down. The being of pure death left the corridor. 

Mu Shen glared at his own body that was on the floor, slashed in two and unmoving. He gritted his teeth wondering why it felt like he was dead and at the same time was not dead.

He could not touch his body, he could not revive himself. He did not even know how to, meaning that he would remain in this state for only God knows how long.

Mu Shen sighed.

Two weeks later, the stalemate at the Seventh floor ended and the black clad figure rushed towards the eighth floor in search for Mu Shen. 

Qiu Puyu immediately moved and the others followed him. His goals were simple;

To find Mu Shen and kill him and also reclaim the Dao of Seven Rivers Technique. 

Every other cultivators walked in as they searched the place. The Slumbering Mummies have been killed and Wang Chung grabbed the jade slip and crushed it, his eyes widened. 

Qiu Puyu wanted to retaliate but Wang Si pushed Wang Chung behind him. 

"Don't even think about it Puyu or else." 

Qiu Puyu suddenly smiled that it was chilling. "Is that a threat?"

Wang Si's gaze did not falter once. 

"Try it, and not only my Wang family would come after you, but my Wang ancestors. Do not overstep your boundaries." 

Qiu Puyu was suddenly furious. "You're threatening me Si?" 

"You can take it like that."

Qiu Puyu could only leave although it angered him to be threatened by a cultivator that he could squeeze and kill with a single slap.

After a moment of anger, Qiu halted a deadly smile suddenly playing across his face. 

"So what if I can't kill you? I can take my revenge by using something or someone else…" 

Qiu Puyu turned towards Wang Si and for some reason, Wang Si felt chills. Something is definitely wrong with the way Qiu was staring at him. 

"He's planning something Si. I don't feel good about this." Wang Chung said warily and Wang Si gulped.

From the Seventh floor up to the nineth floor, no one died. The other cultivators below were able to make it up to floor eight because of the top powerhouses who cleared the floors and the moment everyone met within the nineth floor, an intensive battle instantly broke out.

"Jiu-Jitsu, he's coming for us!" Min Fei shouted. 

The same young man who had threatened Min Fei before at the start of the trial, and now these two were partners. 

The plain ground tilted and an abyss opened up. Three boys that had been chasing after them froze. 

"That's one abyss technique, what do you think Jimyen Shangyu?" 

"Yao Di's abyss technique is much appreciated than this pitiful plain." 

Jiu-Jitsu was suddenly infuriated. "You're courting death Jimyen Shangyu." 

The abyss powered fiercely and the air turned chaotic, naturally causing voidless cracks to extend to the rooftop. 

Yao Di immediately stepped out and flipped his hands down. 

At that moment, Jiu-Jitsu was horrified. 

Something opened the hollow and it was drawn into the very world of nothingness and anything that it touched was erased completely. 

"What the f*ck! Min Fei, retreat!" Jiu-Jitsu shouted in horror.

From time to time, illusion naturally washed down, casting a pure chilling dread upon every souls. No one was left unscathed by the power of Skybreaker.
