Chapter 764 - 663: Bone Marrow Cleansing! It Has No Health Bar?!!

Chapter 764: Chapter 663: Bone Marrow Cleansing! It Has No Health Bar?!!

First, his five senses were being enhanced at an alarming rate.

The world before him seemed to have a veil of haze lifted, presenting itself to his perception with unprecedented clarity and... eeriness.

Feng Mu looked up, his gaze easily piercing through the misty vapor, landing on the white tiles on the opposite wall.

The tiles remained the same, but at this moment in Feng Mu’s eyes, they appeared entirely different.

They were no longer spotless and immaculate, but shrouded in a layer of extremely thin, yet undeniably existent... black aura.

This black aura was neither smoke nor shadow; it resembled more of a "base color" of decay and rot clinging to objects, a silent diffusion of "pollution".

It wasn’t dense, so diluted it almost seemed like ink thinned a million times, yet it carried an incredibly discomforting, cold and lifeless taste.

It’s not just the tiles!

Wherever his eyes landed—the smooth mirror, the ceramic washbasin, the hanging towel, even the toothbrush...

Everything in the room, including the thin water vapor slowly flowing and steaming in the air, without exception, was covered with the same faint black aura.

They were everywhere, like a silent background radiation, filling the entire space, filling every corner he could see.

Feng Mu’s heart skipped a beat.

What is this?

Even with his X-ray Insight enhanced to lv3, Dynamic Capture activated to lv3, and utilizing the newly upgraded Kaleidoscope Blood Bar Deceit Eye, he had never glimpsed this strange black aura before.

It was like a world foundational rule that had always existed but was entirely invisible to him until now.

But now, things were different.

Three Bone Marrow Cleansings, as if wiping clear the paper covering the soul, forcibly pulled his eyes into a higher, or rather more "real", observational layer, allowing him to see the terrifying "truth" that permeated the world.

He subconsciously reached out his hand, trying to touch the black aura on the tile surface.

His fingertips passed through without obstruction, feeling nothing, as if touching a void phantom, somewhat similar to the Ghost Shadow he created.

He then circulated his internal energy and blood, attempting to pull the black aura with the Power of Thousand Entwining Threads, yet the result remained unchanged.

The black aura seemed to exist in another dimension, coexisting with material reality in a strange "superposition", visible to him but unreachable by any physical means.

"Unable to touch it?"

Feng Mu paused, a chill crawling up his spine.

Unwilling to concede, he sharply focused, and the hook jade-like patterns deep in his pupils unconsciously accelerated their flow.

Kaleidoscope Blood Bar Deceit Eye—Activate!

What happened next shocked him to the core!

In his blood bar vision, these omnipresent, seemingly background-like black auras... had no blood bar?!!

It wasn’t that the hidden blood bar showed [???], it was completely empty!

This was the first time since acquiring this bizarre ability that Feng Mu encountered something entirely devoid of a blood bar, not even a [???].

[???] meant there was still a blood bar, just that he couldn’t see the length.

But the black aura, it genuinely did not have a blood bar.

What does this mean?

If understood in game terms, it would be like a boss whose blood bar never shows, invincible.

Even his imba ability of forcibly reducing -1 HP with the Blood Bar Deceit Eye couldn’t wear down the black aura to death.

"What on earth is this black aura?"

Feng Mu’s heart suddenly sank, feeling that only at this moment did he truly glimpse the most horrifying secret of Lower City.

This was far more terrifying than being surrounded by monsters, as monsters die when killed, but this black aura had no blood bar.

"This world, is indeed more dangerous than I imagined."

He shook his head sharply, forcefully suppressing the tremor in his heart, and cast his gaze at the mirror in front of him once more.

The mirror reflected his reborn-like body. Fortunately, as he observed closely, there was no trace of the strange black aura on himself.

His skin was smooth, his energy and blood abundant, exuding a pure luster of life, forming an extremely stark contrast with the deathly black aura in the surrounding environment.

"It must have been there before."

Feng Mu immediately made a judgment,

"Three Bone Marrow Cleansings, especially the last baptism akin to Nirvana, thoroughly washed off that layer of black aura attached to my essence, along with all those corpse toxins and evils!"

"So, those seemingly alive, unwilling black filth I expelled earlier, are essentially some materialized manifestation of this black aura?

Or, are they the ’sediment’ produced after long-term pollution by the black aura in my body?"

At this thought, an even more haunting question surfaced in his mind.

"But, for living beings to have filth, being infected by this black aura is at least understandable.

But these inanimate objects—tiles, mirrors, walls... why do they also have black aura?

What exactly is this black aura, isn’t it alive as well... right?!!"

Feng Mu’s brows furrowed tightly, the joy and excitement brought by leveling up were washed away by the eerie black aura enveloping his vision.

Even if he himself had been cleansed and renewed, if the entire world he was in, from air to matter, was soaked in pitch-black "pollution"...

What use was it to just clean himself?

Feng Mu’s gaze slightly darkened, he instinctively took a gentle breath, and immediately held it.

He didn’t even dare to breathe heavily, because he could "see" that the black aura pervading the air would be inhaled into his lungs with his breath, and even through the alveoli, merge into his blood.
