Chapter 405: The Battle Continues
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
"Kill!" Minghe shouted and struck a fist out. Hundreds of Starry Sky Giant Beasts were smashed into a bloody fog, which Minghe collected to replenish the Evil Blood Aura in his Blood Pool. With more Evil Blood Aura, the Four-pole Blood Evil Formation would become stronger.
On this battlefield, the pervading Evil Blood Aura, particularly aura from the Fate Realm Starry Sky Giant Beasts, was good for Minghe's replenishment. It would greatly nourish the Puppets of the Blood God in the Four-pole Blood Evil Formation.
With great might, Hongjun was effortlessly performing the Divine Beings Thunder. Minghe could only marvel at the sight of this."How great was that! The way he performed the Divine Beings Thunder was mighty and delicate." Minghe could not help becoming interested in Hongjun's power.
The Divine Beings Thunder was exceedingly powerful as well. When Minghe's holy thunder had evolved into the Holy Thunder of Destruction, the thunder was weaker than Hongjun's. Moreover, Minghe did not practice the Law of Thunder. Thus, Minghe gave the thunder to Heaven and Earth Taoist to blend it into the World of Heaven and Earth, making it the Divine Punishment of the World of Heaven and Earth.
After only a short time, only about 2,000 out of 100,000 Starry Sky Giant Beasts had survived. The beasts under the Fate Realm were eliminated in the blink of an eye as their corpses floated in the pervading Evil Blood Aura. What an excruciatingly touching scene! All that remained were Fate Realm Creatures. The real battle was about to begin.
In the pervading Evil Blood Aura, Minghe cast a Taoist Seal and softly sang: "In the name of the Blood Law, all evil return." Thus, all the floating Evil Blood Aura was drawn toward Minghe. Everyone was awed at the sight of this—even the masters at the Peak of the Fate Realm could not help glancing at Minghe.
However, many of them did not take it to heart. The move was mighty and they did sense a weird fluctuation of the Law of Blood, but it was not outstanding among the 3,000 laws. Thus, they would not see Minghe as a threat, even though he was at the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm.
But Minghe certainly did not care about their opinions because he was wholeheartedly taking in the Evil Blood Aura left by the 100,000 Starry Sky Giant Beasts. How great the Evil Blood Aura was! Minghe could make a few Blood Seas in Untainted Land.
In just seconds, all the Evil Blood Aura was drained and the star region was crystal clear. But as the battle continued, Evil Blood Aura was produced again. Though low in quantity, its quality was much better than that of the 100,000 Starry Sky Giant Beasts. Minghe had to take it in as he fought.
As he was watching him, Hongjun failed to understand why Minghe collected the Evil Blood Aura. But he still stood beside Minghe to block every Starry Sky Giant Beast in their way. He collected every Starry Sky Giant Beast corpse because, after all, they were indeed valuable.
Along their way, they usually met with Starry Sky Giant Beasts in the Early Stage or Secondary Stage of the Fate Realm, for they had not yet reached the Starry Sky Giant Beasts' camp. They did not need to expend much effort to kill these kinds of beasts, but still, they were very formidable when both of them were being held back. Thus, they spent more time than expected to clear their way.
As the battle continued for 100 years, Starry Sky Giant Beasts died and Cultivators perished. Starry Sky Giant Beasts at the Peak and Late Stage of the Fate Realm were the hardest to handle because of their strong bodies. Even if you were to have the help of Spiritual Treasures of Chaos, you would still have trouble eliminating them.
After 100 years, only 10 beasts and several hundred Cultivators had survived. However, the 10 beasts' bodies were at the Peak of the Fate Realm, while only five of the Cultivators were at the Peak of the Fate Realm. They had superior numbers but still found it hard to get rid of the beasts.
Thus, the five experts at the Peak of the Fate Realm handled the five Starry Sky Giant Beasts at the same level. The remaining people naturally collaborated to deal with the other five beasts. Since they were weaker in strength, they had to make it up by collaborating. But, the beasts were so strong that people sometimes died at their hands.
Seeing those dead people, the remaining ones faltered. At such cultivation, no one wanted to die in vain. Thus, they would rather stall than take risks. Moreover, when the Fruit of Stars of the Origin turned ripe, no one would care about the beasts, everyone would be scrambling for the fruit in a nasty fight.
Minghe and Hongjun did not join them but only stood by. Though they could kill the beasts in collaboration and practice their Tao therein, it was time-wasting. Even those who did so were not exerting themselves.
They might as well take the time to regain their supernatural power to prepare for the final battle. Additionally, Minghe would not let go of the strong Evil Blood Aura floating in the Starry Sky. He had to collect the precious aura left by the dead Starry Sky Giant Beasts at the Fate Realm.
Another 100 years passed by and the fight was about to end. At that moment, a strong Power of Stars soared up from the Star Tree of the Origin, and a delicate map of the Starry Sky presented itself in front of everybody. No one could keep from looking at the map. Then, everyone including the Starry Sky Giant Beasts got excited because the fruit was finally ripe.
Minghe got excited too, not for the fruit but the map. Minghe had remembered the fleeting map deep in his mind. The map depicted the alignment of the moon, sun, and stars. It would not be a problem to rebuild the Cosmic Stars Formation if he could fully grasp the map.
Despite his excitement, he knew that it was not the time for this. Now, everyone was dashing to the Star Tree of the Origin for the 365 Fruits of Stars of the Origin, especially the two bearing the Origin of the moon and sun. Every man and beast at the Peak of the Fate Realm was targeting them.
For the rest of the Cultivators, they knew clearly that the two fruits were out of their league, thus they had to aim for other fruit. Once they tried to lay a finger on the fruits of the moon and sun, the experts and Starry Sky Giant Beasts at the Peak of the Fate Realm would not spare them.
As the fruit riped, Minghe and Hongjun moved. Their two figures crossed the sky and left red and white lights. In a second, every survivor had landed beside the Star Tree of the Origin as everyone wanted the fruit. A hard fight was about to begin.
Between the fights, Minghe looked at the tree and discovered that it was indeed special. After a few hundred years of battle, it actually remained as intact as ever as not a single leaf had fallen. The limit on the Spiritual Roots of Chaos was extraordinary.
"Myriad Spirit Pagoda, capture!" A shout resounded. Minghe raised his head to see a senior Taoist holding a pagoda. He suddenly threw his pagoda into the wind, and then the pagoda quickly expanded to a few hundred feet long. The pagoda was shining with a golden light, but screams came out of it as if numerous ghosts had arrived.
Minghe took a closer look and discovered the seemingly golden pagoda was actually a Spiritual Treasure of chill, where many souls were kept. Those souls shrouded the pagoda with countless Evil Spirits. Captured by it, one would be devoured by the ghosts and never reincarnate. What an evil Magic Weapon!
The pagoda was pointed at him, but Minghe just smiled. The weapon was indeed remarkable, but still, it was a Low Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. It could not harm Minghe at all. The evil weapon said enough about its owner, but it was irrelevant to Minghe. Good and evil were just theories of those powerhouses and Minghe had never considered himself to be good.
Originally, Minghe had crushed several worlds in order for the World of Heaven and Earth to grow. All the Creatures of those worlds had died at Minghe's hands. Though most of them reincarnated in the World of Heaven and Earth, still, they had been killed once. Taking that into consideration, Minghe was much more evil. The Taoist and his pagoda could not compare at all.
Minghe reached out and a long pitch-black spear immediately appeared in his hand. He struck out and everything stopped. The pagoda cracked in the face of the spear, and more strangely, the souls inside the pagoda all turned into a flowing light and rushed into the spear. They had become nourishment for the spear. What a God-killing Spear that devoured all!
