Chapter 139: Primordial Divine Ability, Not Just Any Ability
Chapter 139: Primordial Divine Ability, Not Just Any Ability
Chen Country.
Lingfeng Du, a ferry crossing where boats once traversed the waters.
Strange occurrences became frequent here, and passersby would often be inexplicably blown away by mysterious winds. The ferry crossing was eventually abandoned, rarely visited.
But now, the crossing was bustling once more.
The Bright Palace had arranged a meeting with the Blood Robe Sword God, and it was to take place at Lingfeng Du.
At this moment, a grand treasure ship was docked at the crossing, with three Divine Infant attendants from the Bright Palace gathered on board.
Two were at the late-stage Divine Infant realm, and one at the mid-stage, a collective strength comparable to several major sects in Chen Country.
On the treasure ship, in addition to the Bright Palace's Divine Infant attendants, were numerous powerful Divine Infant cultivators from Chen Country.
"The so-called Blood Robe Sword God is most likely Di Jian Hou. I thought he was dead, but he's still alive and has joined the Divine Flower Society, causing trouble for the True Monarchs." Dong Chang Gong spoke with a heavy sense of self-blame.
Void Emptiness Senior Immortal glanced at Dong Chang Gong and buzzed, "This is not your fault. It's that Blood Robe Sword God stirring up trouble!"
Initially, Void Emptiness Senior Immortal had come to Chen Country for leisure and took a liking to Di Jian Hou's mansion.
Beneath the mansion was a Spirit Eye containing the essence of the Treasure Star Cluster.
This object absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, carrying the aura of golden killing intent, sufficient to be a vessel for an Earth-grade Golden Core.
So, Void Emptiness Senior Immortal merely expressed his desire.
Dong Chang Gong drove out everyone from Di Jian Hou's mansion.
At that time, the residents of Di Jian Hou's mansion were unwilling to leave, crying and wailing. Void Emptiness Senior Immortal, irritated by the commotion, blurted out, "Go to the dog kennel!"
Di Jian Hou's over-ninety-year-old, frail daughter was forced to live in a dog kennel.
Later, Dong Chang Gong secretly intervened, slaughtering everyone in Di Jian Hou's mansion.
After all, having offended someone, it was best to uproot the problem and leave no future troubles. Dong Chang Gong had come here to seek support from the Bright Palace.
After all, Di Jian Hou, now renamed Blood Robe Sword God, seemed to have advanced in cultivation, hence his boldness.
"The fate of Di Jian Hou's family is their own doing. They brought this upon themselves, offending the True Monarch." Dong Chang Gong spoke with righteousness, "When the Blood Robe Sword God arrives, I will definitely advise him to return to the right path and apologize to the Bright Palace."
These were just words from Dong Chang Gong.
He secretly wished for a conflict between the Blood Robe Sword God and the Bright Palace.
To eliminate the Blood Robe Sword God through the Bright Palace.
"Apologize?" Void Emptiness Senior Immortal was furious.
This incident escalated, causing a stir even in Green Cloud Continent.
Forced out of seclusion, he had to come and apologize in this desolate place, his anger simmering. Apologize?
The Bright Palace's demand for an apology—would the Blood Robe Sword God dare to accept?
"That Blood Robe Sword God is clearly a coward, only daring to instigate from the shadows. I believe, with all of you here, he won't show up." A Divine Infant cultivator spoke.
At this moment, many cultivators from Chen Country stood by the Bright Palace.
They were especially angry and disgusted with the Blood Robe Sword God, wishing to eliminate him without delay.
Fearing that the Blood Robe Sword God's actions would affect their standing within the Bright Palace.
"There's no need for the True Monarchs of the Bright Palace to intervene. If he comes, we'll capture him and make him apologize to the True Monarchs of the Bright Palace!"
Hearing this, Void Emptiness Senior Immortal, sipping his wine, felt his frustration ease in this desolate place.
At this moment, outside the treasure ship, on a small boat, stood a Qingyi Maiden, accompanied by an Elder.
The Elder gazed at the massive treasure ship and said softly, "With the Bright Palace here, Miss Ya, would you like to board and explain?"
The Elder was a Divine Infant cultivator, and the Qingyi Maiden beside her was at the Jade Core stage, yet the Elder treated the maiden with exceptional respect.
The Qingyi Maiden, named Jiang Ya, was ranked fifteenth on the Dongtu Talents Ranking.
The Dongtu Talents were numerous, and even in the Hundred Nations, one couldn't find a cultivator worthy of this ranking.
Ranked fifteenth, if not for her tragic fate, she was destined to become a Purple Mansion Powerhouse.
Such talent was enough to rival the talents of the Dongtu.
But what was most terrifying about Jiang Ya was not her cultivation talent but her profound understanding and annotation of worldly cultivation techniques.
It was for this reason that she was accepted as a disciple by the Ascension Tower's Tower Master.
This was a dream come true for those ranked in the top three on the Dongtu Talents Ranking.
The Tower Master, named Wuti Elder, was among the Purple Mansion Powerhouses in Dongtu, the closest to the legendary Yin God Realm.
The Yin God Realm, according to legends, touched upon the realm of Immortal Deities.
Once Wuti Elder entered the Yin God Realm, Jiang Ya's status would far surpass those in the top three of the Dongtu Talents Ranking.
"No need," Jiang Ya shook her head, "I'm here because there might be a fight, and I want to observe the battle. As for the Bright Palace... Ling Su detests them, so why would I involve myself?"
The Ascension Tower collected cultivation techniques from across the world.
Jiang Ya was interested in all worldly cultivation techniques.
For a Jade Core cultivator like her, observing these battles would be immensely beneficial.
Her path was to adapt and create cultivation techniques.
She persistently followed this path.
Upon reaching the Divine Infant stage, she would awaken her related divine abilities.
And when she entered the Purple Mansion Realm, understanding the essence of the world's spiritual energy, she would gain enlightenment from her path and comprehend her Primordial Divine Ability.
Jiang Ya suddenly thought of something and said, "If the Blood Robe Sword God is weak and quickly defeated, Elder Stone, please trouble yourself to fight with the Bright Palace cultivators. I want to observe their cultivation methods."
The Elder nodded, "As you wish, Miss Ya."
As night fell, a small boat floated on the water.
Jiang Ya stood at the bow, her consciousness immersed in a Jade Slip.
Every moment, she dedicated herself to her path.
Amidst the vast waves, the moonlit misty isles.
Suddenly, Jiang Ya opened her eyes.
The Elder also looked up, her expression turning solemn.
In the surging waves, a man in a blood-red robe walked upon the water.
A full moon hung in the sky, its cold light shining upon him, but the light reflected was red.
"Such a powerful bloody aura!"
"How many people did this kill?"
"Blood Robe Sword God?"
On the treasure ship of Bright Palace, over a dozen Divine Infants fixed their gazes on the Blood-Robed figure standing on the water's surface.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief and a hint of fear.
The three Divine Infants from Bright Palace, upon seeing the Blood Robe, were initially stunned. Then, Void Emptiness Senior Immortal shouted, "Your blood aura is overwhelming! How many innocent souls have you wronged? Such a colossal demon, if I had known earlier, I would have slain you on the spot. How dare you let you wreak havoc in the mortal realm?"
Initially, the three Divine Infants from Bright Palace had planned to put on a show of apologizing and then cause trouble for the Blood Robe Sword God.
But upon seeing the Blood Robe Sword God, they felt there was no need for such pretenses.
The dense and sinister blood-soaked aura on his body—how many people had to die to create this?
This was no Sword God; it was clearly a colossal demon.
Such a great demon should be slain without hesitation.
Under the full moon, the Blood Robe emitted an eerie light, and his voice was hoarse and cold.
At this moment, Qi Yuan was already in character, playing his role.
"My daughter is innocent, clever, and charming. I would pluck the stars and moon from the sky to give to her.
But what happened? You forced her to live in a dog kennel. This matter is not over!"
Dong Chang Gong's face showed surprise when he heard this.
Innocent and clever?
Di Jian Hou, your ninety-year-old daughter probably doesn't even have many teeth left, does she?
However, the Blood Robe Sword God before them seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blood fog, making it impossible for them to see his face clearly.
"Such a demon deserves to be sent to hell!" Dong Chang Gong took the opportunity to speak.
At this moment, a hint of confusion flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes. "Aren't you here to apologize on behalf of Bright Palace? Is this your attitude?"
He had come here because Bright Palace had promised to apologize. He was ready to extort them.
"If you were a righteous cultivator, I would apologize for my minor past mistakes. But... do you, a demonic cultivator, deserve my apology?" Void Emptiness Senior Immortal once again took the moral high ground, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Qi Yuan's eyes dimmed upon hearing this.
"It seems I overestimated the moral standards of some people."
"I thought the members of Bright Palace were all gentlemen, with the world's well-being in their hearts.
On the path to immortality, they chose to subdue demons and eliminate evil, truly embodying the spirit of a celestial hero.
Unfortunately, I was thinking that you would compensate me with some Spirit Stones, and I wouldn't pursue this matter further."
Qi Yuan spoke with genuine disappointment, appearing disheartened and lost.
This left the three Divine Infants from Bright Palace on the treasure ship a bit flustered.
Could this person genuinely admire their Bright Palace?
"Hmph!" Void Emptiness Senior Immortal was not about to let the Blood Robe Sword God off the hook, "A demonic cultivator like you dharmic powers, stocks, and dividends, and you dare demand an apology from us?"
The Divine Infant in the late stage beside him couldn't help but ask, "You want to compensate with Spirit Stones...?"
"She is my close relative, so at least you should compensate... ten million..." Qi Yuan felt he might be asking for too little, so he raised the price, "...one hundred trillion Spirit Stones!"
A heavy silence fell upon the treasure ship.
After a few breaths, Dong Chang Gong's face turned angry, "Are you using Bright Palace's Senior Immortals to extort money? One hundred trillion Spirit Stones? That's an unimaginable amount!"
The other Chen Country Divine Infants also joined in, verbally attacking Qi Yuan.
"It's truly laughable. First, you fabricate lies to slander Bright Palace's Senior Immortals, and now you deliberately extort and blackmail us. Such a scoundrel must be eliminated!"
The group of Divine Infants criticized Qi Yuan, condemning him.
Qi Yuan, facing their accusations alone, felt small and helpless.
Although he had fabricated the story, did that necessarily mean it was false?
He was furious, like a worker whose wages had been withheld: "I'll kill you all!"
Qi Yuan charged towards the treasure ship.
Void Emptiness Senior Immortal's eyes gleamed with disdain, "A mere Divine Infant from the Hundred Nations, how many grades of dharmic powers do you have? And you dare to attack me?"
The dharmic powers awakened by Divine Infant cultivators were also categorized into grades.
The lowest was the ninth grade, and the highest was the first grade.
Grades seven, eight, and nine were considered low, while grades one, two, and three were high.
Above the first grade were even higher levels.
Void Emptiness Senior Immortal's dharmic powers were of the first grade.
Divine Infants from the Hundred Nations usually had low-grade dharmic powers, and even if they occasionally had higher ones, they were only mid-grade.
So, when the Divine Infants from Bright Palace arrived here, they were like fish out of water, the gap was too vast.
The old woman on the small boat shook her head, "The three Divine Infants from Bright Palace have high-grade dharmic powers, and there are twelve more Divine Infants above them. That Blood Robe Sword God's actions are quite inappropriate."
The Divine Infants from the Hundred Nations had weak dharmic powers.
Their combat power was naturally inferior to that of Bright Palace's Divine Infants.
At this moment, Qi Yuan held a blood-red longsword, his face filled with malice, "Do you think you're the only ones with dharmic powers? I have them too!"
He brandished his sword and flew towards the treasure ship, appearing like a blood-red crow in the night sky.
Void Emptiness Senior Immortal's eyes narrowed with a cold smile, "I'll show you!"
He flew away from the treasure ship, raising his hand towards the sky.
"Nine Heavens Thunder!"
"Radiant Sword!"
"Exterminate all evil!"
With his command, endless sunlight descended upon him.
His entire body became radiant and holy.
A sword of light materialized in his hand, and he resembled a righteous cultivator with celestial bones and a divine demeanor.
With a single sword strike, he could sweep away all evil.
Qi Yuan looked at the sword of light and shook his head, "That's not how you use a sword of light. You need to change your outfit and remember to transform.
First, you should change your personality, and then the transformation with the sword of light will be more impactful!"
On Blue Star, there had been a trend on short video platforms featuring transformations with swords of light.
People would start in regular clothes, then a sword of light would appear, and under dim lighting, they would transform into a sexy outfit.
Some versions even pushed the boundaries of decency.
The Void Emptiness Senior Immortal, upon unleashing his divine ability, was assessed by Qi Yuan as the Light Sword Transformation.
A righteous aura emanated from the Void Emptiness Senior Immortal, his face contorted with fury, resembling an enraged heavenly deity: "A first-rate divine ability, a sword of radiant brilliance, let's see how you'll catch it!"
"And how will you withstand my divine ability?"
At this moment, the blood-red longsword in Qi Yuan's hand finally emerged.
It exuded a terrifying and eerie aura.
Qi Yuan hadn't even begun his attack, and merely the sword's appearance caused the water beneath his feet to turn blood-red.
The red color continued to spread, even tainting the radiant brilliance of the sword with its blood hue.
The Void Emptiness Senior Immortal seemed to have fallen into the depths of hell, enveloped by the blood-red aura.
"Let me show you... my divine ability!"
The Primordial Divine Art of the Overlord Heart Demon was unleashed at this very moment.
The blood-red color was no longer confined to a small area.
The entire Lingfeng Du seemed to be engulfed in a blood prison.
The howling dark wind and surging blood sea left all Divine Infant cultivators with expressions of shock and horror.
The Void Emptiness Senior Immortal was even more terrified: "The Primordial Divine Ability..."
He was afraid, he wanted to retreat, but he was already trapped.
The Primordial Divine Art of the Overlord Heart Demon was inscribed on the blood-red longsword.
With a single strike, it was as if a Supreme Being was wielding the Primordial Divine Ability.
The level of the Primordial Divine Art of the Overlord Heart Demon was not low.
To deal with a Divine Infant cultivator? It was like using a nuclear weapon to kill a chicken! In just a breath, the Void Emptiness Senior Immortal turned into a pool of blood.
Qi Yuan looked at the pool of blood and boasted, "Is my divine ability stronger than yours?"
Unfortunately, the Void Emptiness Senior Immortal was already dead and couldn't respond.
On the treasure ship, the Divine Infant cultivators trembled in fear.
Primordial Divine Ability... a divine ability!
The Blood Robe Sword God had unleashed a Primordial Divine Ability!
Although many of them hadn't witnessed the prowess of a Purple Mansion Powerhouse, they knew it was a Primordial Divine Ability as soon as Qi Yuan made his move.
The Primordial Divine Ability was a technique mastered by Purple Mansion Powerhouses.
Seeing through the essence was not something Divine Infant cultivators could withstand!
The Blood Robe Sword God... was actually a Purple Mansion Powerhouse!
A Purple Mansion Powerhouse had appeared in the Hundred Nations Region!
Dong Chang Gong, who was on the ship, felt his heart skip a beat, filled with fear.
How did it suddenly become a Purple Mansion Powerhouse?
The other two Divine Infants from Bright Palace had their faces change, but they managed to maintain a hint of composure.
After all, there were still dozens of Purple Mansion Powerhouses in Bright Palace.
"Senior, using a Primordial Divine Ability against the Void Emptiness Senior Immortal's divine ability is a bit too much," said the Divine Infant cultivator who was arrogant and domineering earlier, his tone now much more subdued.
He no longer had the same domineering attitude as before.
However, the arrogance in his bones remained.
After all, they were from Bright Palace, and they didn't have any direct grudges with the Blood Robe Sword God.
The Void Emptiness Senior Immortal had a grudge with the Blood Robe Sword God, so killing him was justified.
"How is a Primordial Divine Ability not a divine ability?" Qi Yuan said matter-of-factly.
He had copied this line from Wu Tong, but since he had already killed Wu Tong, it couldn't be considered plagiarism.
As he spoke, he held the longsword and walked towards the treasure ship.
The Divine Infant cultivator from Bright Palace's face changed slightly, "Senior, do you intend to exterminate us all?"
"Although you are a Purple Mansion Powerhouse, Bright Palace is not lacking in cultivators of the same level as you.
Moreover, you have already killed the Void Emptiness Senior Immortal who offended you.
Let's consider this matter settled."
"Senior, please reconsider!"
At this moment, fighting was out of the question.
They could only reason with him.
"Hmph," Qi Yuan glared at them coldly, "You weren't saying that earlier."
When he first appeared, these Divine Infants had been cursing at him non-stop.
Almost every Divine Infant who looked at him had murderous intent in their eyes, wishing to take immediate action in the name of justice.
"Senior, have you truly decided to be enemies with us from Bright Palace?" the mid-stage Divine Infant cultivator said coldly.
"It is Bright Palace that wants to be enemies with me!" Qi Yuan said without hesitation.
The Primordial Divine Art of the Overlord Heart Demon erupted at this moment.
The massive treasure ship seemed to be dyed red with fresh blood.
All the Divine Infants on the ship went mad.
"No!"
"Ah, I shouldn't have killed my brother and humiliated my sister-in-law!"
"I really didn't mean to, it's just that his talent is so high."
The Heart Demon emerged, and the magnificent treasure ship instantly transformed into a blood-red demon realm.
Over a dozen Divine Infant cultivators, with twisted faces, succumbed to their heart demons and eventually perished.
The servants and singing girls on the treasure ship were trembling, as if they had witnessed the most terrifying sight in the world.
"None of you are worthy of a single strike from me," Qi Yuan sheathed his sword.
The cultivators from Bright Palace were too weak; he didn't even need to use his Golden Core's power.
He estimated that even the Purple Mansion Powerhouses from Bright Palace couldn't force him to summon his Golden Core.
Perhaps... only the Imperial Thunder Dragon Crown would be worth summoning his Golden Core.
According to the Ice Mountain Tyrantess, the Imperial Thunder Dragon Crown could unleash the power of the Yin Spirit level.
The Yin Spirit... was too powerful.
It was a true Immortal Deity!
An Immortal Deity hidden in the mortal world!
An Immortal Deity that mortals and cultivators would bow down to in reverence!
Qi Yuan sheathed his sword and scanned his surroundings, his voice booming, "Bright Palace, under the guise of apologizing, sent people to besiege me. This grudge, if left unavenged, would be an injustice to heaven!"
The Blood Robe Sword God officially declared war on Bright Palace!
"Either Bright Palace will be destroyed, or I will perish!" Qi Yuan shouted, his voice carrying for several dozen li.
All the cultivators who had besieged him were shocked and deeply moved.
The Blood Robe Sword God was actually a Purple Mansion Powerhouse!
Finally, a Purple Mansion Powerhouse had appeared in the Hundred Nations Region!
With a wave of Qi Yuan's hand, all the storage bags fell into his grasp.
These 'white moonlights' had traveled far to see him, and he had no reason to refuse their gifts.
As he finished collecting the storage bags, a gentle voice called out, "Senior, please wait."
