Chapter 394: Is This Your Best? (4k3)



Immortal Slaying Sword?!

The greatest Supreme Opportunity within this fragment of the Heavenly Palace is actually the Immortal Slaying Sword?!

Qin Zheng's heart and mind instantly focused.

The Sword Intent of the Immortal Slaying Sword was one of his most powerful hidden techniques.

After refining it into a Palace Guarding Artifact, its quality also influenced the caliber of Qin Zheng's Dao Palace.

If the sword in that cauldron is truly the Immortal Slaying Sword, with its Sword Intent merging with the sword body, it would become a complete Immortal Slaying Sword.

His strength would undoubtedly surge!

However, if this sword is used to suppress and seal the source of power of the Great Dharmaraja of the Demon Race, then he absolutely cannot take it away!

After all, even if he obtains the Immortal Slaying Sword, the probability of it being a Great Dharmaraja is highly unlikely.

Suddenly, a complex emotion surged within Qin Zheng's heart.

Indeed, it was somewhat unpleasant to have such a heavenly opportunity before him yet be forced to give up due to the circumstances.

Nevertheless, Qin Zheng's mind remained calm, showing no signs of wavering.

The opportunity was indeed favorable, but if he truly released the Great Dharmaraja of the Demon Race, he would have no future.

Various thoughts swirled in his mind.

Buzz!

Just then, as if a connection was fully established, a faint Sword Hum emanated from the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent within Qin Zheng's Dao Palace.

Boom!

In an instant, the cauldron in the center of the Sword Pool seemed to reverberate with thunderous roars, echoing in all directions.

Clang! Clang!

Immediately, the cauldron began to shake violently, causing the chains binding it to clatter loudly.

This sudden change immediately caught the attention of the surrounding powerful beings, each standing up, focusing their minds and gathering their strength as they looked towards the center of the Sword Pool.

The thing inside the cauldron was about to emerge!

Kong Yu also opened his eyes at this moment, and the splendid Tricolor Divine Light began to emanate from within his body, coiling around his entire being.

Simultaneously, he slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on the cauldron in the center of the Sword Pool.

As long as the thing inside rushed out, his Tricolor Divine Light would instantly surge forth, enveloping the object within.

Unlike others, he knew what was inside the cauldron, which was why he was willing to endure the wait here.

And no one could snatch away what he desired!

His gaze swept indifferently across the surroundings, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

These insignificant mortals also dared to compete with him for opportunities; their delusions were truly laughable!

However, when his gaze fell upon a human youth sitting cross-legged with closed eyes on an empty space, Qin Zheng's eyebrows slightly lifted.

With the opportunity about to reveal itself, he was still pretending to be a cultivator.

Initially, he thought this was some human genius, but now it seemed he was just another pretender.

With a casual glance, his gaze firmly locked onto the cauldron in the center of the Sword Pool.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the cauldron's tremors grew more intense, and a profound and powerful aura rapidly spread.

The chains binding the cauldron became taut, as if about to snap.

Witnessing this, the numerous powerful beings around the Sword Pool also began to exude formidable auras.

Although they feared the Tricolor Divine Light, they would not easily give up on the opportunity.

Just as he had thought earlier, no matter how powerful an individual was, could they possibly withstand the combined might of the gathered crowd?

Even with the unmatched might of the Tricolor Divine Light, it was impossible to wipe out all the powerful beings present!

Kong Yu's expression remained calm, as if devoid of any emotion. He took a step forward with his right foot and began approaching the center of the Sword Pool.

His actions immediately drew the attention of the surrounding powerful beings, and some of them also started to move forward.

In the next instant—

Buzz!

A clear Sword Hum resounded.

The violently shaking cauldron suddenly became quiet.

The profound aura that had been surging in all directions also gradually faded, returning to its initial state.

This sudden change immediately caused the surrounding powerful beings to frown.

The previous trend seemed to indicate that the thing inside the cauldron was about to break free, but why had it suddenly calmed down?

Was it a mismatch of opportunities, or was some condition unmet? According to the guidance of the Divine Sword, the more living beings that followed its lead to the Sword Pool, the more it would induce the cauldron's abnormality.

With the sudden cessation of changes, was it because there weren't enough living beings present?

As the powerful beings stood rooted to the spot, frowning in contemplation—

At this moment, Qin Zheng immersed himself in his Dao Palace, observing the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent within, which had suddenly become more substantial.

Under the intense commotion, Qin Zheng was about to recall his mind and rise to stop the numerous powerful beings.

The Immortal Slaying Sword Intent within the Dao Palace seemed to understand his intention, gently emitting a Sword Hum, and the commotion within the cauldron also subsided.

In other words, the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent within his Dao Palace could communicate with the Immortal Slaying Sword in the cauldron!

Moreover, this Immortal Slaying Sword Intent could even control that Immortal Slaying Sword!

Qin Zheng's mind gradually immersed itself in the Dao Palace, slowly entering the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent, and he immediately sensed an irresistible surge of heat.

In the midst of this scorching heat, a searing pain suddenly struck, causing him to feel as if his divine soul was about to be burned to ashes, turning into nothingness.

But this sensation lasted only an instant before a surge of coolness rushed in, swiftly dispelling the heat, and everything returned to normal.

Qin Zheng now had a clear view of his surroundings, which were engulfed in an endless raging sea of fire!

And in the center of this fiery sea, a sword brimming with overwhelming killing intent, a sword of slaughter, floated and sank.

It was at this moment that three words suddenly came to Qin Zheng's mind.

Immortal Slaying Sword!

Through the intent of the Immortal Slaying Sword, his mind directly entered the interior of the cauldron and witnessed the scene within.

And indeed, floating within was the legendary Immortal Slaying Sword!

Buzz!

At that moment, the Immortal Slaying Sword stirred slightly, its sword aura dispersing the fire sea and flying to Qin Zheng's front, conveying a sense of familiarity.

Simultaneously, it was as if a child, locked up for too long, was circling around Qin Zheng's mind, expressing a sense of grievance and a desire to go out.

This...

Qin Zheng was a bit stunned by this situation.

The renowned sword of slaughter actually listened to him? If he released it, no one would be able to compete with him for this sword.

Qin Zheng's heart was filled with momentary joy.

However, his rationality remained calm.

"Wait a little longer."

Qin Zheng tried to convey his intentions to the Immortal Slaying Sword.

Then, the Divine Sword, which had been lively in the sea of fire, suddenly wilted.

Immediately after, it was as if a sulking child flew to another spot in the sea of fire, distancing itself from Qin Zheng's mind.

The next moment, a feeling of detachment surged in his heart, and Qin Zheng's mind once again returned to the Dao Palace.

He smiled bitterly in his heart. If it were possible, he would naturally want to take the Immortal Slaying Sword out.

But under the current circumstances, the Immortal Slaying Sword was the fragment of the Celestial Demon Sect that suppressed the power source of the Demon Race's Dharmaraja.

If he were to take it away, the Demon Race's Dharmaraja would break free.

This was something Qin Zheng would never allow.

Therefore, the Immortal Slaying Sword could only remain in the cauldron for now.

Fortunately, his intent had established a connection with the Immortal Slaying Sword.

His mind could, at any time, communicate with the sword through its intent and interact with it within the cauldron.

And this Immortal Slaying Sword seemed to acknowledge him due to the connection with its intent.

In the future, once he attains the Great Dharmaraja, or possesses the power of the Dharmaraja, and is no longer afraid of the Demon Race's Dharmaraja, he can directly communicate with the sword, take it out, and enhance his foundation!

With this thought, Qin Zheng no longer felt any regret.

Moreover, his mind's gaze turned towards the Dao Palace, focusing on the more substantial intent of the Immortal Slaying Sword.

Even if he couldn't obtain the sword for the time being, his intent had already received a significant boost!

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng slowly opened his eyes.

Suddenly, the tricolor divine light around the Sword Pool surged!

Kong Yu's expression was cold, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes as he stepped towards the Sword Pool, his aura growing stronger with each step.

Since the treasure within the cauldron couldn't break free from the chains' restraints, he would lend a helping hand!

The powerful beings surrounding the area immediately understood his intentions upon seeing his actions.

One by one, they revealed interested expressions.

They were also here for the treasure within the cauldron, and if it could be released, they would seize the opportunity to compete for it!

Regardless of who ultimately obtained it, the others would still have time to seek other opportunities!

Their expressions gradually became expectant, and their auras slowly condensed as they waited for the cauldron to open so they could seize the treasure!

However, just as Kong Yu approached within ten zhang of the Sword Pool, under the gaze of numerous powerful beings, the human in the golden-patterned black robe stood up.

They then realized that within a ten-zhang radius around the Sword Pool, only that human sat cross-legged.

But this wasn't important; what mattered was that the human didn't leave or move towards the center of the Sword Pool but instead blocked Kong Yu's path.

In an instant, the expressions of the surrounding powerful beings changed as they looked at the two figures, their eyes filled with fervor.

Interesting!

"Get out of my way."

Kong Yu looked at the figure three zhang away, his indifferent tone laced with impatience.

He wasn't afraid of the other party; he just wanted to unleash his full power on the chains binding the cauldron.

However, his words, which carried a hint of threat, didn't make the human leave. Instead, he calmly continued to stare at Kong Yu.

"Are you trying to stop me?"

Kong Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

But the human slowly shook his head.

Then, his calm gaze swept over the surroundings before he spoke in a serene voice, "Not just you, but everyone present."

Qin Zheng's voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

"How dare you!"

"Arrogant!"

"Seeking death!"

"You don't know your place!"

". . ."

In an instant, it was as if a volcano had erupted, and amidst the powerful beings' angry roars and outbursts, surge after surge of powerful auras erupted.

Rumble!

In an instant, the Saber Pool began to tremble violently.

Intense killing intent condensed in the void, all locking onto the figure clad in a golden-patterned mystic robe.

These furious and enraged beings included not only demons but also humans.

However, amidst this overwhelming killing intent, Qin Zheng's expression remained calm and unperturbed, showing no signs of abnormality.

Standing three zhang away from him, the demon Kong Yu, instead of being enraged, looked at Qin Zheng with a mocking gaze as if he were witnessing a joke.

A mere human of the Taiyi Realm dared to speak such bold words in front of him.

Not to mention that he possessed the Primordial Peacock Bloodline and had awakened the Tricolor Divine Light, bringing Taiyi to its peak, just one step away from attaining the Great Dharmaraja.

As for the powerful beings surrounding the Saber Pool, although he didn't hold them in high regard, they were at least of the Taiyi Spirit Realm!

This human was truly insane to dare speak such absurd words in front of him and numerous powerful beings.

Did he really think that defeating two demons made him invincible in the world?

With a slight curve of his lips, he mocked, "Just you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Tricolor Divine Light surged into the sky, instantly engulfing the human like a flood, completely submerging him.

The Primordial Peacock Clan's divine ability!

The highest level was the Quinticolor Divine Light, known to injure all it touched and kill all it contacted!

Although Kong Yu had only awakened the Tricolor Divine Light, he had never failed since its awakening!

Any existence brushed by the Tricolor Divine Light, even if they didn't die, would be severely injured!

Kong Yu's lips curled slightly, as if seeing the human reduced to a skeleton beneath the Tricolor Divine Light.

The other powerful beings, sensing the situation, wisely lowered their auras.

This was the first time they had seen such a violent and overwhelming Tricolor Divine Light, and they understood that the human had no chance of survival.

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Kong Yu casually retracted his power, and the surging Tricolor Divine Light instantly returned to his palm.

But at that moment, he seemed to see something unbelievable, his pupils suddenly constricting.

Qin Zheng's face, which had maintained a calm and indifferent expression, now showed a change, revealing a hint of shock.

How could this be possible?!

"Is this all you've got?"

The next instant, a calm voice sounded in his ear.

Qin Zheng discreetly retrieved the Jade Purity Statue, and as he slightly raised his hand, his five fingers gently moved, forming a fist.

Taking a step forward, he unleashed an unparalleled fist seal containing the essence of splitting the heavens and piercing the earth, striking it out with overwhelming force.

At a distance of three zhang, it was as if the fist was right in front of Kong Yu's face!

Kong Yu, still in shock, reacted slowly, quickly raising his hands to block.

Boom!!

The fist seal landed on his arms.

Kong Yu felt as if he had been rammed by a terrifying beast, his arm bones instantly shattering into powder.

The next moment—

Boom!

His arms exploded!

Kong Yu's figure seemed to flow like a stream as he was sent flying.

Such terrifying power!

What a monstrous being!

Kong Yu roared in his heart, his voice echoing with fury.

In the next instant, the figure in the golden-patterned mystic robe took a step forward, standing before Kong Yu. Simultaneously, he grasped Kong Yu's shoulder.

Crack!

The sound of the shoulder blade breaking echoed.

Immediately after, a fist seal containing immense power struck Kong Yu's body.

Boom!

His flesh and blood exploded!

In the next instant, a whirlwind enveloped him, and he felt his body crashing downward.

Rumble!

The Saber Pool shook, causing the surrounding mountains to tremble.

Kong Yu felt as if his internal organs had shattered.

The next moment, terrifying fist seals, like a storm of punches, rained down on his body.

Pain! Pain! Pain!

The pain, like a tidal wave, engulfed him from all directions, assaulting his divine soul.

In this situation, he felt his life force ebbing away like a breached river.

"Roar!"

Kong Yu let out a thunderous roar, his Primordial Peacock form manifesting.

Boom!

A giant rolled over!

At the same time, the Tricolor Divine Light surged forth.

Qin Zheng took a step back, and Kong Yu seized the opportunity to transform into a stream of light and escape.

Qin Zheng reached out, grasping a strand of sword qi, and threw it in the direction of Kong Yu's escape.

The terrifying sword qi surged into the Saber Pool, instantly disappearing from the site.

Ah!

The crowd only heard a faint wailing cry, a chilling sound amidst the chaos.

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and with an indifferent turn, he walked to the edge of the Saber Pool, surveying the powerful beings.

"Who's next?"

The powerful beings were horrified, none daring to step forward, each hesitant to take the next step.
