Chapter 39: Wielding the Power of Heaven and Earth, Slaying Demons
Chen Qiu's gaze wandered aimlessly around, eventually settling on the scarlet stone pillar. He felt a sense of absurdity, recalling the xianxia novels he had read before his transmigration, where opportunities were a central theme.
This was normal.
But shouldn't these opportunities in xianxia novels follow some basic logic?
For instance, finding a sealed ancient divine artifact at a street stall, or falling into a cliff and discovering a secret realm and treasures left by a powerful cultivator at the bottom. Even in the worst-case scenario, one should experience some twists and setbacks before encountering such opportunities, right?
In the world he had transmigrated into, opportunities were said to emerge directly from the ground. Whoever was nearby was considered destined for it.
This seemed a little too far-fetched.
He pushed these chaotic thoughts aside, thinking that perhaps true opportunities should indeed be like this—suddenly emerging from the ground, available to whoever approached first.
The items on the scarlet stone pillar were all discounted treasures. Buying any of them would be a good deal, and he wouldn't lose out.
Placing the corresponding spirit stones on the translucent membranes of the "Spirit Beast Collar" and the "Intermediate Foundation Essence-Extracting Talisman," the stones quickly merged with the membrane and disappeared. The membranes above these two items also vanished, allowing them to be freely retrieved.
"Young Master Chen, the first two items in the grid are crafted by Scrollmasters and Artificers. As for the 'Heavenly Treasure Earth Vault,' it contains many treasures that can only be found in Celestial Path Secret Realms."
"And this third grid contains..."
Before the scholar could finish, a voice echoed in everyone's ears: "This third grid contains the 'Enlightenment Stone.' With this treasure, one can instantly comprehend any Foundation Establishment Stage spell of the Supreme level or below to the Great Perfection realm."
"It's not an exaggeration to call it the most powerful treasure for the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"Ordinary people who cultivate a Foundation Establishment Stage spell to the Great Perfection realm, even with diligent practice every day, would need at least a year. But with the Enlightenment Stone, it only takes an instant to achieve perfection."
"Its value is immense."
Fat Dragon and the others' faces paled slightly. Following their gaze, they saw a middle-aged man in a red robe, with his right hand behind his back and long hair flowing, riding a scarlet longsword as he shot towards them.
His voice preceded his arrival.
By the time the voice faded, the middle-aged man was only a few zhang away, hovering diagonally above them.
"Heavenly Treasure Earth Vault, those with destiny shall arrive."
The man's eyes gleamed with greed and excitement as he looked down at Chen Qiu and the others. A sinister smile crept onto his face, "It seems I have more fate with you all. Since you're also Foundation Establishment cultivators, why not join my Ten Thousand Souls Banner as team souls?"
"It's like a double celebration!"
"Today is a good day. The fortune-teller in the Ask Heaven Market was indeed accurate!"
"This person is a Demon Cultivator, at least at the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage. His actions seem extremely ruthless."
The scholar's face turned grim as he lowered his voice. Then, he casually placed his right hand behind his back, ready to control his flying sword to carry Chen Qiu and the others away from this place. They had no chance against someone of such cultivation.
The scholar was the strongest among them, but he was currently weakened by poison and unable to fight. The most powerful fighter was Young Master Chen, but he was only at the first layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, no match for their opponent.
Escape was their only option.
Fortunately, even if he wanted to flee, a seventh-layer Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator couldn't stop him.
"Hehe, you're good at judging people~"
"A Demon Cultivator?"
Chen Qiu glanced at the unsealed treasures on the scarlet stone pillar, then reached out to stop the scholar from drawing his sword to escape. He whispered, "Are Demon Cultivators very strong?
"Incredibly strong, invincible among peers!"
"Can it fight across realms?"
"Basically, every Demon Cultivator can. They don't seek longevity; they only wish to slay other cultivators seeking immortality before their own demise!"
"Can it fight against a Golden Core Stage at the Foundation Establishment Peak?"
"That's definitely impossible."
"Mmm."
Chen Qiu lightly nodded, not planning to flee. He quite liked the treasures here, and compared to self-destructing an Entry, the cost-effectiveness was slightly better. Without hesitation, he took the initiative to make the first move.
The White Entry "Flawless Body" self-destructed!
The next second—
Chen Qiu suddenly felt the Dao Foundation above his Dantian start to spin rapidly. Immediately, the sky above the entire wasteland darkened, and the spiritual energy in the surrounding air began to flow rapidly. Sensing with his divine consciousness, he could even see a gigantic whirlwind formed by the gathering of countless spiritual energies above his head!
Then, he perceived the Entry "Flawless Body" inscribed on his Dao Foundation. The white characters began to gradually peel off, traveling along his meridians to his hands, where he felt an extremely violent surge of power.
Subconsciously, he pushed his hands forward.
Then!
"Boom!"
A lightning bolt as wide as a dragon, about one Zhang long, suddenly emerged from the dark clouds above, carrying the might of the heavens as it struck straight down from the clouds towards the ground. In the blink of an eye, it reached the head of the Demon Cultivator flying in mid-air at the Foundation Establishment Peak!
There wasn't even a scream.
After the lightning, the dark clouds vanished in an instant.
The arrogant Demon Cultivator was nowhere to be seen, and all that remained on the ground was a thoroughly charred flying sword that had lost its spiritual nature, along with two shattered Spirit Rings. With the rings shattered, their contents naturally spilled into another dimension.
Chen Qiu lowered his head thoughtfully, looking at his right hand. He had been curious about what kind of all-out strike would occur when self-destructing an Entry, transcending realms.
Now he knew.
The "Entry" was more like the embodiment of the rules of this world. Even a White Entry contained formidable rule power. When these rule powers self-destructed, the burst of energy was enough to briefly bring him to the next great realm, and then randomly select a Spell he cultivated from his Dao Foundation and temporarily raise it to the Great Perfection Realm.
This was the full power of a Golden Core Stage strike.
The lightning that had spanned the entire sky, visible from dozens of Li away, was the might of a Golden Core Stage cultivator releasing the Great Perfection Realm "Thunder Summoning Art."
This... was the might of a Spellcaster!
Controlling the power of heaven and earth, slaying demonic beings!
After this experience, he became even more certain about the path he should take.
"Qiu Brother, this... this..."
Fat Dragon pointed to the side, where a pitch-black flying sword lay on the ground, his voice stammering with confusion. He had been ready to flee, holding tightly to the scholar's sleeve, but how did Qiu Brother suddenly kill the Demon Cultivator?
Wasn't that a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator? Just a few days ago, Qiu Brother was still a mortal. How could he instantly kill a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator after just a few days?
As fellow transmigrators, to be honest, Qiu Brother, did you get an extra cheat?
Even the scholar's mouth twitched slightly. He now believed even more that Chen Young Master was the young master of some reclusive clan outside the Great Xia Nation. The power of that attack—this Fat Dragon might not have sensed it, but he had clearly perceived it.
This was the genuine might of the Golden Core Stage!
