Chapter 317: She is a Goddess! Instantly Slaying Hongwu! The Primordial Gate (Part 1)
June 5, 2024
"Despicable!"
As if she were discussing something insignificant, Liu Shen's words, deciding life and death, instantly enraged Hongwu, his initial caution replaced by raging fury.
The Liu Shen before him...
Was too peerlessly beautiful.
Even during their first encounter, she had shocked Hongwu, preventing him from acting recklessly.
But Liu Shen's disregard for him ignited his anger, making it difficult to calm his emotions.
"What do you mean by 'despicable'?"
"Cultivation is about defying the heavens for longevity. Even the heavens can be challenged, let alone an insignificant ant? Not to mention billions!"
"As long as I can achieve immortality, what's the difference between ten billion or a hundred billion?"
"With your strength, do you dare say you've never wronged innocent souls or taken lives?"
"Ridiculous!"
Hongwu couldn't bear Liu Shen's indifference, let alone her moral high ground.
He knew his actions were questionable, but what did it matter?
Victory justifies the means, as history proves it.
He had succeeded!
He had found a way to overcome tribulations, and with enough 'effort', even the twelve tribulations of a Loose Immortal would be manageable. His future was bright, and he deserved a wonderful life.
Since he had succeeded, it meant the Heavenly Dao acknowledged him.
Who was this person to point fingers at him?
Hongwu was furious.
Liu Shen remained calm, her expression unchanging: "Of course I've killed, and I've killed far more and stronger than you."
Hongwu: "..."
Damn it!
Why are you talking nonsense?
"But I only kill those who deserve it, and I've never indiscriminately harmed the innocent or indulged in slaughter for personal gain."
"The path of cultivation is not paved with the corpses of countless beings."
Liu Shen didn't want to say more, shaking her head: "Make your move."
"Liu Shen."
Lu Ming took Ji Haoyue back: "Thank you for your trouble."
"Leave it to me."
Liu Shen nodded slightly: "Your words are too kind, fellow cultivator."
Ji Haoyue was still in a daze, captivated by Liu Shen's peerless beauty. Her seemingly delicate body possessed unimaginable strength and charm.
But...
Lu Ming was worried and whispered: "Shouldn't we help?"
"Although your ally seems powerful, Hongwu hasn't shown his true strength yet. We should..."
"No need."
Lu Ming shook his head: "You underestimate Liu Shen."
He added: "And you overestimate ourselves."
"We're not worthy to assist Liu Shen."
"Even if we were at our best, we wouldn't be qualified."
"Huh?"
Ji Haoyue was stunned.
"Fellow cultivator, what's your strength? How can you be so powerful?"
Ji Haoyue was even more confused.
As a Ninth Stage cultivator, she should have been able to see through Liu Shen's cultivation level and realm at a glance.
But at this moment, she couldn't understand a thing.
She couldn't comprehend Liu Shen's cultivation realm.
"Strength..."
"I'm not sure either."
Lu Ming shook his head: "But she's definitely stronger than that fox spirit."
Ji Haoyue was speechless.
"Liu Shen?"
Hongwu scoffed: "Hmph, you dare call yourself a goddess?"
"In this cultivation world, there's only one human deity, and that's me!"
"Die!"
Hongwu unleashed his true power, a Fourth Tribulation Loose Immortal.
His strength, equivalent to the late Ninth Stage (7th to 9th layer), erupted, reaching an absurd level. However, Liu Shen remained calm.
"I've never considered myself a goddess."
"It's just a courtesy title people use."
"As for you..."
Dong! Liu Shen lightly tapped the void with her jade foot.
It seemed weak and powerless, but it was terrifying.
Hongwu's fierce offensive instantly crumbled, and he was 'shattered' by her attack. His face turned ashen, and he stared in disbelief: "You?!"
He panicked!
He knew Liu Shen was way to school, he knew she was strong, never weaker than himself.
But he thought that even if she were stronger, it would be within limits.
If he couldn't win, he could always escape!
With his Fourth Tribulation Loose Immortal power, could he not even escape? But at this moment, he realized his mistake.
A huge mistake!
Escape?
Based on this move...
"..."
Hongwu no longer hesitated and fled immediately.
He even used Blood Escape, boosting his speed to an extremely terrifying level.
Even a conventional Ninth Stage peak cultivator might struggle to stop him in this state.
Ji Haoyue: "???"
"What? Why is he running?"
What's the point of this?
He was showing off just a moment ago, acting like he was so powerful. Now, he's running away?
And this move was yours!
Where's your dignity?
Where's the fearless and domineering aura you had when facing us?
Why are you acting so weak?
Damn it!
Lu Ming: "..."
"It is a bit unexpected."
What surprised him was Hongwu's shamelessness.
He sensed the situation turning against him and immediately fled.
But Liu Shen's strength was no surprise.
Liu Shen, unperturbed, waved her hand, and countless willow branches pierced the void, sharp as jade spears.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
Hongwu, who had already escaped quite far, almost beyond Ji Haoyue's divine consciousness range, suddenly trembled. Countless willow branches emerged from the void, impaling and pinning him down.
Hongwu's face turned ashen in an instant.
Lu Ming's eyes shone as he observed intently.
The Willow Divine Technique!
For others, this was an Invincible Technique.
But for Goddess Liu...
Every move and style was the Willow Divine Technique!
She was the embodiment of the Willow Goddess!
"You?"
Hongwu was as if he had lost his parents.
He...
Was stunned.
"How can you be so powerful?!"
"This is wrong!!!"
He roared and bellowed.
"I am a Fourth Tribulation Loose Immortal. I am..."
"You deserve to die."
Goddess Liu interrupted without further words. With a casual strike, Hongwu perished instantly.
Too powerful!
Unparalleled strength, executed with precision.
Just moments ago, he was invincible, having just passed the fourth tribulation of a Loose Immortal. He thought he had at least five hundred years of carefree life ahead of him, and even after that, he could use this technique to 'cheat'. But now...
His physical body and divine soul were annihilated, leaving not even a single hair behind.
Lu Ming's eyes shone.
Ji Haoyue was dumbfounded!
Suddenly, he reacted, "You're not right!!!"
Lu Ming: "..."
"How am I not right?"
"Although I don't know who she is, with such strength, she could even help you deal with a Loose Immortal. So why didn't you ask for her assistance when the Moonlight Sect was in danger?"
Ji Haoyue's eyes turned red.
Damn it!
Yes, at that time, the situation in the Moonlight Sect was indeed precarious.
But since you could invite such a powerful ally, why would you need to surrender and be absorbed by the Moon-Grasping Sect?
It's ridiculous!
"You're saying..."
Lu Ming was secretly astonished.
Ji Haoyue...
Has become smarter!
She's actually considering this problem?
However, this won't stump me.
Lu Ming sighed, "Putting aside everything else, Elder Sect Master, you tell me, is someone of this caliber someone I could invite if I wanted to?"
"How much face do you think I have?"
"Furthermore, even if I could invite her, does that mean she would have time for me?"
"Not to mention the past, but this time, I was almost beaten to death, and she finally made time and rushed over. What if she hadn't made it in time?"
"Not to mention, this person isn't even related to me."
Lu Ming spread his hands.
"She's not related to you?"
Ji Haoyue was stunned. "Then who is she?"
"Naturally, she's related to the Moon-Grasping Sect. This person is someone I asked the Sect Master to help invite, and it cost a great price to get her assistance."
"Even so, she might not have made it in time."
"What could I have done when the Moonlight Sect was in danger?"
Lu Ming shook his head helplessly and sighed.
These words weren't just made up.
Goddess Liu was originally related to 'Lin Fan', what does it have to do with me, Lu Ming? Ji Haoyue blinked, "So..."
"Like this?"
"What else could it be?"
Lu Ming patted his chest, "Everything is for the sake of the Moonlight... the Moonlight Lineage."
Ji Haoyue: "..."
So, was it wrong of me to blame him? He felt a bit embarrassed.
However, he had acted upright and done no wrong, so he had to admit it and take the beating!
Just as he was about to apologize, he suddenly realized something was amiss.
"This is still wrong!"
Apologize?!
Ji Haoyue discovered a major issue, and her face turned dark, "Okay, your words make sense, but where did you get those Invincible Techniques from?!"
"The Supreme Treasure Vase, the Flower of One Thought, the Cut Me Clear Path Art... these are all the Moon-Grasping Sect's closely guarded techniques. That masked woman's Invincible Technique..."
"That secret art for rapidly improving cultivation, and the 'Great Sun Burning Heaven' is Xiao Ling'er's Invincible Technique!"
"The Qilin Technique and the Artificial Sun Fist are the Moon-Grasping Sect's closely guarded disciple, Wang Teng's techniques..."
"And that Divine Ring, and that..."
Ji Haoyue listed the names one by one, and Lu Ming was shocked.
Damn, you really know a lot about the Moon-Grasping Sect, even matching them up?
I can't deny it!
So, the one who understands you the most is often your enemy?
Lesson learned!
"You say!"
Ji Haoyue coldly huffed, "What do you have to say for yourself?!"
Ji Haoyue suddenly realized.
Yes, at first glance, Lu Ming seemed fine.
But upon closer analysis, problems were everywhere!
The previous Ji Haoyue hadn't noticed any of this.
"In my opinion, you're probably a spy for the Moon-Grasping Sect!!!"
Lu Ming: "???"
"Elder Sect Master, you're wrong about this."
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat, thinking his identity had been discovered, but after carefully observing Ji Haoyue's expression, he realized it wasn't the case.
This...
Was just an 'association', right?
If it's just an association, there's nothing to be afraid of.
"How did I become a spy for the Moon-Grasping Sect?"
"Before this, I fought with my life for the Moonlight Lineage, doing my best... almost sacrificing my life. Why do you say I'm a spy?"
"If you're not a spy, why do you know the Moon-Grasping Sect's closely guarded disciples' Invincible Techniques?"
Lu Ming: "..., I learned them."
"You learned them?" Ji Haoyue's face darkened.
What kind of nonsense is this? Techniques are learned?
Who doesn't learn techniques?
Are you saying they're innate? That's ridiculous!
"Nonsense!"
"How precious are Invincible Techniques? Especially so many, how could you learn them?!"
"Why not?"
Lu Ming was stunned, "Elder Sect Master, have you forgotten my current identity?"
"I am now the Moon-Grasping Sect's Moonlight Lineage's Great Elder, Great Elder!"
"In terms of identity and status, in the Moon-Grasping Sect, I should be second only to the Sect Master, right?"
"If even the closely guarded disciples can learn Invincible Techniques, why can't I?"
"Ji Haoyue: '!!!!'"
"This..."
"Makes sense!"
"He's unbelievable."
"In my excitement, I completely forgot about this."
"Now that the Moon Holding Sect and the Moonlight Sect are one, this is just absurd."
"Furthermore, with Lu Ming's identity, he can indeed freely choose and cultivate these Invincible Techniques and Invincible Arts."
"Could it be..."
"I might have wronged him?"
"Wait, that's still not right!"
"Your lies are too far-fetched!"
Ji Haoyue gritted her teeth, "You almost got away with it so easily!"
"Yes, with your identity and status, cultivating these Invincible Techniques and Invincible Arts is indeed not a problem!"
"But how long have you been in the Moon Holding Sect?"
"And how difficult are the Invincible Techniques and Invincible Arts?"
"Every Invincible Technique requires years of perseverance, and an astonishing amount of talent and great willpower. Without these factors, success is impossible!"
"Even with your exceptional talent, it's commendable and beyond ordinary for you to successfully cultivate an Invincible Technique in such a short time."
"What about more than ten kinds?!"
"Is that even possible?!"
"You're still lying to me?!"
Lu Ming: "..."
"Sigh."
He heaved a soft sigh, "How could I be lying to you?"
"Still arguing?!"
"Then tell me, how did you do it?!" Ji Haoyue pressed, not giving him a moment's respite.
"This... Do I really need to say it?"
Lu Ming spread his hands, "Isn't this how it's done?"
"I can only say that people's physiques are different. I, a mere mortal..."
"Well, what I mean is that people's talents are different. I'm not sure about others, but for me, it's like this."
"Whether it's techniques, cultivation methods, or Invincible Techniques..."
"I can learn them all very quickly. Is there a problem with that? Is it also my fault?"
"If that's the case..."
Lu Ming sighed bitterly, "Then am I not guilty of a heinous crime?"
Ji Haoyue: "(⊙o⊙)??? You!!!"
He's unbelievable.
Wow!
I can't help but exclaim, "Wow!"
How could there be such a shameless and boastful person in this world?
"You! You, you, you..."
Ji Haoyue pointed at Lu Ming's face, momentarily at a loss for words to scold him.
Me, Ji Haoyue, has lived for over ten thousand years...
I've never seen such a brazen person!
"What did I do?" Lu Ming asked innocently, "Is telling the truth a crime? Or is having exceptional talent also a crime? If even this is wrong, then I've committed an unforgivable sin~"
Ji Haoyue's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and her face spasmed.
This is just too much acting.
Does he even have a shred of shame?
"I don't believe a word you say!" Finally, Ji Haoyue managed to force out a few words through clenched teeth.
"How could you not believe me?"
Lu Ming sighed, "I'm telling the truth!"
"Think about it, how old am I? My bone age is at most thirty, and how old was I when I joined the Moonlight Sect?"
"At that age, among cultivators, I was considered a 'child', but at that time, I was already a Grand Master in the Way of Alchemy."
"With that age and such accomplishments, who else could it be but me?"
"Doesn't this prove my talent and understanding?!"
Ji Haoyue: "..."
His words were so reasonable that I was left speechless! Ji Haoyue was dumbfounded once again.
But soon, she protested, "That's just your talent for alchemy. Alchemy and cultivation are two different things. How can you mix them up?!"
"Moreover, there are so many Invincible Techniques, many of which are completely unrelated. How could you have successfully cultivated all of them in such a short time and reached such a profound level?"
"I don't believe it!"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't believe anyone's talent could be so incredible!"
"Is that not possible?"
Lu Ming sighed, "Then what would it take for you to believe?"
Ji Haoyue: "..."
Indeed!
How can I believe him?
Moreover, actions should be based on facts, and I can't just act on mere guesses, right?
But...
I have no evidence, and everything is just a guess...
"I have it!"
"Unless you prove yourself!"
"How?"
"My Moonlight lineage also has Invincible Arts and Invincible Techniques. If you can learn them in a short time, I'll believe you!" Ji Haoyue huffed, "Don't tell me your talent is only suitable for cultivating the main lineage's Invincible Techniques and not the Moonlight lineage's!"
"..."
Lu Ming smiled helplessly, "So that's it."
"I thought you wanted to say something else."
"If it's just this..."
"No need."
"No need? What do you mean?"
"It means..."
"You don't need to give me 'a short time' because I've already learned them."
"???" Ji Haoyue stared at him, her expression clearly saying, 'You're full of it, and I don't believe you.'
"I'm telling the truth."
"Like this then."
Lu Ming shook his head and sighed, "Elder, watch carefully."
Behind Lu Ming, the moonlight rose...
"With the moon in the sky, I know you can do it, and since you've been in the sect for many years, it's not surprising that you've mastered our sect's Invincible Art." Ji Haoyue expressed her approval.
"Mhm."
"What about this one?"
Lu Ming lifted his hand, and moonlight converged, transforming into a divine bow with a sharp edge.
"This is..."
"In the last three generations of our sect, only the Supreme Elder has successfully cultivated our sect's Invincible Technique - the Lunar Radiance Divine Bow?!"
Ji Haoyue's scalp tingled.
After casually shooting an arrow into the sky, Lu Ming demonstrated another Invincible Art.
One by one, the Invincible Arts and the sect's secret arts manifested.
Ji Haoyue was completely stunned.
"Is this the Immortal Heart Profound Art?!"
"This is... our sect's Great Void Palm?"
"This is absurd!"
“This is…”
“How is this possible?!”
Over a dozen techniques!
All of them are the supreme techniques and invincible arts of the Moonlight Lineage, and they are all cultivated to an extremely high level. Even if they aren't at the 'Great Perfection' stage, they are still at the 'Entering the Chamber' level, leaving one dazzled and bewildered."
But how is this possible?
