Chapter 132: Chapter 57: The Second Divine Skill of Earthly Destroyer!_i

“Indeed, there is no fundamental conflict between us, is there?”

Finally, after a long period of silence, Kuang Tianjie spoke.

“The true conflict is only with Eastern Glory Divine Monarch, who wrapped you up in the Demon Transformation chaos.

But the Eastern Glory divine descendants have been annihilated by the Almighty Earth Immortal of your sect, even the Heavenly Court Divine Edict of Eastern Glory Divine Monarch was shattered, there is no chance he survived.

So, you and I can fully collaborate for mutual benefit.”

Once again, Shen Yuan was utterly bewildered. He knew nothing about Demon Transformation chaos or Eastern Glory Divine Monarch.

But to maintain his appearance, Shen Yuan could only feign some interest:

“Collaborate?”

Noticing Shen Yuan’s reaction, Kuang Tianjie hurriedly perked up and said:

“Yes, collaborate!”

“Since you have chosen to emerge in this era a thousand years later, you must be well aware that the state of the world after the Spirit Energy depletion this time is starkly different from the previous two Spirit Energy Tidal Surges.

Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor fell after the Great Schism. Within his remaining edicts, there was information that ten thousand years after the Great Schism, there would be a loosening, and there might be an opportunity for ascension.

At that time, not just us, even the old monsters hidden in the grotto heavens blessed land will emerge, seeking an opportunity for ascension, thereby escaping the suffering of Spirit Energy depletion.”

“Rather than quarreling for the short term, contend for the long term. Nobody would want to miss such a rare ascension opportunity in a thousand years.

You, who once ascended to the peak, might already be quite clear about the actual strength of those old things in the grotto heavens and blessed land.

Even if more than half of them have fallen, and only a tenth of the people who could come to this era after a thousand years remain, you, who have lost your cultivation base, are absolutely unable to confront them, let alone the ancient grotto heavens that they represent.

A collaboration between you and me is the best choice!”

The Great Schism will loosen up a thousand years later, at that time there will be an opportunity for ascension!

Shen Yuan’s eyes brightened. Hearing such secret news, even though he knew he was still far from ascension, he couldn’t help but be moved in his heart.

I must admit, Kuang Tianjie’s proposal is quite enticing. If Shen Yuan is really keen on ascending, he might agree straight away.

Unfortunately, Shen Yuan knew his situation. He was not any Almighty being who lost his cultivation base. He was just a cultivator who had just reached the Middle Stage of Qi Transformation.

Right now, he was suppressing Kuang Tianjie through some information advantage.

But once his situation was exposed later, Shen Yuan believed that Kuang Tianjie would not hesitate to snatch his physical body, so Shen Yuan’s first choice was already predetermined.

Of course, Shen Yuan wouldn’t show his inner thoughts to Kuang Tianjie, so he could only reply coldly:

“Collaborate? With your residual soul fragment?”

Kuang Tianjie replied urgently:

“I reside in the Blood Sea Ring, every time when there is a Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, I seek the seedlings of the Demon Path to help them practice, and then trigger widespread Blood Sacrifices to nourish my Spirit Soul.

Once these seedlings of the Demon Path lose their value after being hunted down by the righteous cultivators, they can turn into my Blood God Child under my control and replace the sect’s cultivators to infiltrate the sect and steal secrets.

Though the thousand years have taken away all my cultivation, but there has been no setback whatsoever in my cultivation foundation and divine skills. With sufficient time, I’ll inevitably return to the peak.”

“If you don’t trust me, I can swear by the Heavenly Dao, and I absolutely won’t attack you!

If I break my vow, the Heavenly Dao will make me lose the ability to comprehend Heaven and Earth Dao forever, making it impossible for me to step into the Tao Harmony Stage in this life.”

Hearing Kuang Tianjie’s words, Shen Yuan narrowed his brows tighter and replied bluntly:

“I do not trust Kuang Tianjie’s oath.”

Kuang Tianjie fell silent.

The serene wilderness turned deathly still.

After a long time, there was a sudden change in Kuang Tianjie’s voice.

“You are scared of me!”

The urgency and frenzy were gone in his chilly tone, revealing only a calm self­confidence of having everything under control.

“You have persistently declined my offer of collaboration after so much communication and my significant concessions.

Because you are very clear, you do not have a genuine chance of opposing me.”

“If you truly had the strength to overpower me, you would not need to subtly wear down my card by secretly using the monster tribe. Instead, you would have taken the Blood Sea Ring by killing Aman at the first meeting.

Even after the monster tribe consumed most of my resources, you remained cautious. Only after repeatedly confirming that my last resort is only the Blood Transformation Divine Sword, did you use this storage space to restrict me.

This is proof enough that you are already weakened to the point where you cannot even resist the Blood Transformation Divine Sword.”

Inside the sleeve space, the Blood Sea Ring lightly trembled. A large amount of Elemental Qi transformed into an old human silhouette, Kuang Tianjie directly transformed into form in this space by means of Elemental Qi as a carrier.

“I discarded my physical body, retained some divine skills as my final resort to barely survive.

And you gave up everything, and exchanged it all for a physical body capable of existing in the mortal world.

From the outside, it seems like you won, but without a real power to protect yourself, even if you have a perfect base, holding the Immortal Sword and the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power, you can’t resist a single strike of my mere Blood Transformation Divine Sword.”

His blood red eyes looked at this narrow space, a smirk of mockery appeared on Kuang Tianjie’s face.

“You are constantly probing my words, trying to find out my bottom line.

But aren’t I also just biding my time?”

“This space is inherently unstable. Plus, the conflict between the space within the Blood Sea Ring and the outside, even the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power cannot maintain this space in the long run.

“What else do you have up your sleeve?”

Shen Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, the storage space within his right hand instantly covered by a multitude of space rifts.

Sharp and intricate space rifts perforated the Blood Sea Ring, seeming as if they were about to shatter this precious artifact.

But with a flush of scarlet light, the Blood Sea Ring stood unscathed beneath the space rifts!

“Inconceivable! Knowing that you have mastered Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, how could I be careless about space rifts?

The Blood Sea Ring is forged from blood realm divine crystals. Even though its quality has declined due to the Spirit Energy depletion over the millennia, its inherent substance remains undamaged and is certainly not something that can be shaken by mere space rifts.”

Bursts of derisive laughter echoed from Kuang Tianjie’s mouth, ridiculing Shen Yuan’s ignorance.

“With the use of space rifts, this space will shatter immediately. All you can do is run as far as possible before the space breaks and returns to reality.

Otherwise, the Blood Transformation Divine Sword will eradicate your Spirit Soul, and all your millennia of cultivation achievement will be in vain!”

Shen Yuan’s expression remained grim. The toughness of the Blood Sea Ring had far exceeded his expectations; this was the second time his space rifts had failed.

The first real failure was when facing the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword.

Kuang Tianjie’s raucous laughter continued to echo through the air. At this moment, the space within his sleeve was laden with cracks and seemed ready to crumble at any moment.

However, Shen Yuan showed no sign of panic. A flash from his storage ring revealed a golden stone in his hand.

The moment it was taken out from the storage ring, the temperature around it noticeably increased several times. The thumb-sized golden stone undertook the appearance of a miniature sun, continually radiating extreme heat.

Despite the broken space inbetween as a barrier, Kuang Tianjie could still feel a sense of searing heat and couldn’t help but ask:

“What is that?”

But Shen Yuan had no intention of responding at the moment.

The ore in Shen Yuan’s hand was the unidentified mineral he acquired from Fubo Dragon Monarch’s lair after he slew him.

At the time, in order to suppress the mineral’s temperature, Fubo Dragon Monarch had placed vast amounts of Profound Ice in the stone box. However, the Profound Ice had all melted over a month ago and Shen Yuan had moved it to a separate storage ring early.

Shen Yuan had also sought the name of this mineral in the Ask Tao Forum. Despite searching through copious amounts of information, he didn’t find anything similar.

Until today, when he read through the “Elemental Qi Fusion Method of Heaven and Earth,” Shen Yuan unexpectedly found a description of the stone on the last page.

Yihe Stone: A mineral formed from the shedding blood of Xihe, the goddess of the sun in mythology. Formed like the sun that scorches everything, shattering it will offer a whiff of the Great Sun’s True Flames, which can be melted down to obtain the Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames.

The Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames, born within the sun, is one of the top-tier Qis of heaven and earth.

Even within the Earth Fiend Sword Art, there were records regarding the Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames.

With the Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames, one could recreate the might of Ten Suns Falling, and with a single sword slash, could burn thousands of miles, incinerate mountains, and boil seas.

However, to reach the state of the union of the sword and Elemental Qi, one needed a vast amount of Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames. The thumb­sized Yihe Stone in Shen Yuan’s hand could only refine a strand at its limit.

But this single strand of Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames was enough for Shen Yuan at present, as he didn’t have the qualification to fully enter the stage of the union of the sword and Elemental Qi.

He only wanted to utilize this strand of Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames to slash out a single sword strike that could obliterate Kuang Tianjie.

The Yihe Stone was thrown into the air as the Darkness-Light Sword unsheathed from Shen Yuan’s waist. With the blade stained with mottled rust, it stabbed into the center of the Yihe Stone.

Cracks started to spread from there, after which the true charm of the Great Sun emerged and a phantom golden sun slowly rose amidst the wilderness.

The sun had already set in the sky at this moment, but amidst these mountains, a scorching sun rose, instantly drawing numerous prying eyes.

Shen Yuan formed a hand seal, and under the guidance of his Primordial Spirit, started manifesting a light golden breath from the true charm of the Great Sun, which flickered like a flame. The temperature on the barren mountain began to rise sharply.

“Crack!”

The crisp sound of space shattering came, and Kuang Tianjie, who was in the sleeve space, finally realized that something was amiss. He drew upon his blood and vital energy to continuously attack the crumbling space, trying to break free from the spatial shackles.

Shen Yuan remained undisturbed. His index finger gently stroked the sword blade, and the strand of Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames was quietly transferred into the Darkness-Light Sword.

The Candle Dragon Inscription on the sword grid slowly opened its eyes. The originally dim night sky turned into broad daylight at this moment!

At this moment, Shen Yuan suddenly remembered that the Candle Dragon in mythology was a supreme deity who opened its eyes for daylight and closed them for night.

The rusted sword body was imbued with a coat of golden color by the Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames, seeming as if a great sun had melded into the sword body, exuding an inviolable majestic aura.

Earth Fiend Sword Art, the union of the sword and Elemental Qi!

The next moment, Shen Yuan swung the Darkness-Light Sword down, and a resplendent sun rose high into the clear daylight sky.

The crumbling sleeve space erupted with a loud bang, and Kuang Tianjie didn’t even have a chance to activate the Blood Transformation Divine Sword. His vital energy had completely dissipated under the might of the Great Sun.

“Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames…you deceived me! Your cultivation base isn’t entirely lost!!!”

Lines of cracks spread on the Blood Sea Ring, and Kuang Tianjie’s powerful Spirit Soul tried to break free through invoking the power of heaven and earth. However, it melted like snow in the sun’s radiance in the very next moment.

The bodies of numerous monsters and beasts scattered throughout the Yunfu mountains exploded. All their blood seemed to have been evaporated in an instant. All of the hidden reinforcements of the Blood River Yuan Slaughter Path had nowhere to hide under the light of the Great Sun.

Within the Yunfu mountains, all living beings were looking up at the sky, witnessing the light that seemed to illuminate the universe.

Under the brilliant sun, all evil spirits were eradicated.

Basking in the sunlight, a crisp voice rang in Shen Yuan’s ear.

System: The host has defeated and slain the master of the Blood River Yuan Slaughter Path, Kuang Tianjie, who devoted himself selflessly and painstakingly. The entire sect of the Blood River Yuan Slaughter Path has been eliminated, and all the Demon Paths in all directions have been eradicated. This is truly a stroke of luck for the Cultivation World!

System: Congratulations to the host for overcoming all sorts of difficulties and completing the hidden achievement: Demon-Exterminating Guardian Path.

Reward: The second Divine Arts of the Earthly Destroyer: Gods Purging!
