Chapter 397: Battling the Tianwu Great Sage (4k7)



Caw!

A sharp phoenix cry rang out.

Boom!!

The raging sea of fire surged backward, rushing towards the powerful beings from all directions.

At the same time, various magical artifacts and divine lights that had plunged into the sea of fire suddenly flew out with a loud bang.

Boom!

Crack! Crack!

The ground shook, and the void shattered! In the center, Tianwu gently flicked his wide sleeves, his gaze indifferent as he swept his eyes over the four directions, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"A bunch of mortals, do you really think that with a few Great Sage treasures, you can fight with me?"

His words had just fallen.

Moo!!

A dragon's roar sounded in his ear, and the void split open, a long spear-like object suddenly descended before his forehead.

"Let's see about that!"

On the other side of the spear, the Human Race man's expression was cold, his aura merging with the Azure Dragon Spear in his hand, infinitely close to the Great Sage.

Even stronger than before! Tianwu's figure stood tall and unmoving, but his vertical eye suddenly opened at his forehead, and a black light of annihilation instantly shot out.

Whoosh!

The black light clashed with the spear's radiance, instantly erupting into a dazzling light that illuminated the four directions of the void.

However, the Azure Dragon Spear did not retreat at all, holding its ground against the black light.

Tianwu let out a cold laugh, then reached out to grasp the spear before his forehead.

But in the next instant.

Roar!

A roar sounded, followed by a huge claw imprint piercing through the void and suddenly landing behind him.

Equally close to the Great Sage, this powerful aura caused Tianwu's eyes to narrow slightly, and the extended hand also slapped backward.

A Great Sage palm, turning heaven and earth upside down!

In this fleeting moment, the four directions of the void seemed to be swept away by this palm. The direction of the palm's fall was not only the huge claw imprint but also every powerful being present!

"Arrogance!!"

The Palace-robed man holding the Flame Feather Fan shouted, and the fan suddenly grew to three zhang in size. Then, he fiercely fanned towards Tianwu.

Caw!

The rolling true fire transformed into a phoenix, directly scorching and melting the four directions of the void, while also transforming into a beam of light, rushing towards Tianwu.

The other powerful beings did the same.

Under the overwhelming Great Sage palm imprint rushing towards them, they all urged their Great Sage treasures to the extreme.

Various divine lights surged, transforming into extremely fierce offensives, one after another, rushing towards the incoming Great Sage palm imprint.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A deafening roar followed, and a huge rift appeared in the void, revealing the true appearance of the outer universe's starry sky.

An extremely powerful attraction emerged from this giant rift, drawing in all the objects in the four directions of the void.

On the battlefield, Tianwu staggered back a few steps, his expression turning extremely gloomy.

A Great Sage!

Actually forced to retreat by a few Supreme Taiyi small fries!

Humiliation! Humiliation! His face no longer carried the calm and indifferent look from the beginning, but instead turned gloomy.

Around him, the powerful beings holding Great Sage treasures showed varying degrees of injuries, but their auras became even more lofty.

"It seems you old fellow haven't completely escaped your predicament. This incarnation of yours probably only has eighty percent of your strength."

The Silver-Robed Youth's surroundings were filled with starry radiance, and after wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were filled with malevolence.

"You rebellious and heretical dog thing! Even with only eighty percent, I, the Great Sage, am still formidable."

Tianwu's expression turned frosty.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In this instant, the aura emanating from his body became even more powerful.

Crack! Crack!

The void of the Qionglae Grand Realm began to shatter, revealing the true appearance of the outer universe's starry sky.

The shattered Qionglae Grand Realm couldn't withstand a Great Sage-level battle!

And the appearance of this situation at this time also meant that this Great Sage incarnation with eighty percent strength was about to get serious!

Seeing this, the powerful beings from the four directions immediately braced themselves.

The narrow-eyed, shadowed youth spoke up, threatening, "If you obediently return and continue to accept the seal, we won't kill this incarnation of yours!"

"Otherwise, if this incarnation is destroyed, your Great Sage-level cultivation might drop by an unknown amount!"

Tianwu responded with a ferocious smile, "You all come and try!"

Both sides' auras soared to the extreme.

Then, in the next moment.

Boom!!

In the distant void, a tremendously powerful aura suddenly appeared!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

As this aura appeared, the starry sky trembled, immortal music played, and strange phenomena occurred frequently.

This situation immediately caused everyone's expressions to change.

Such phenomena, such an aura, could it be that someone had attained the Great Sage? Tianwu instantly turned his gaze towards the direction of the aura, a bad premonition suddenly arising in his heart.

Then, under his gaze, a white jade-like large hand suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Subsequently, like the opening of heaven and earth, that large hand fell upon his head before he could react.

Boom!!

A blood mist suddenly exploded!

Tianwu's remains suddenly broke through layer after layer of the void, falling endlessly downward.

Then, on the battlefield, amidst the shocked gazes of the other powerful beings.

A Human Race youth in a golden-patterned black robe stepped out of the void, his entire body exuding a terrifying killing intent that caused the heavens and earth to tremble.

Even without directly facing this killing intent, the numerous powerful beings present also felt their hearts tremble and their bodies shiver, not daring to move recklessly.

Especially among the numerous Demon Race powerhouses, upon seeing the Great Dharmic powerhouse who appeared at this moment, a descendant of the Human Race, their hearts and minds plummeted into the depths of despair.

"How does it feel to receive this palm strike?!"

Qin Zheng's gaze was as cold as ice as he looked down below.

After consuming a Primordial Lotus's lotus seed, he could temporarily master the power of the Great Dharmic in a short time.

At this moment, his perception of the world had changed; with a single thought, he could mobilize the myriad powers of heaven and earth and freely manipulate the void.

His heart moved, and the void shifted, causing Tian Wu's falling figure to instantly appear before him.

Boom!!

As soon as Tian Wu's figure appeared, before he could react, Qin Zheng's right hand had already formed a fist seal.

A chaotic aura spread, like the original point of origin, capable of annihilating all things in the heavens and earth.

Under this fist strike, Tian Wu finally felt a hint of mortal danger.

His body instantly recovered, and the power of the Great Dharmic erupted from within him. He struck out with a fist, roaring in rage, "How could you possibly attain the Great Dharmic?!"

Boom!

The two fist seals collided, and Tian Wu couldn't withstand Qin Zheng's fist power. His body exploded again, instantly turning into countless drops of blood that fled into the void.

In just two punches, Tian Wu felt a sense of hopelessness and powerlessness.

He didn't understand why this Human Race individual could improve so quickly in such a short time, even directly attaining the Great Dharmic in the present moment.

However, he realized that if he didn't seize this opportunity to escape and continued to persist, his incarnation would be ruined!

Tian Wu transformed into countless droplets of blood and fled, while the surrounding Demon Race powerhouses, with slightly stirred emotions, did not intercept him.

The sudden appearance of a Great Dharmic from the Human Race had disrupted their plans.

Therefore, the Demon Race must also have a Great Dharmic to confront the Human Race.

Only the two Human Race powerhouses present, one holding an Azure Dragon Spear and the other a dignified Great Saber, continuously slashed at the countless droplets of blood fleeing through the sky.

Even though this incarnation had only eighty percent of its strength, it was still a formidable Great Dharmic-level entity!

Upon reaching the Great Dharmic Realm, as long as a single drop of blood escaped, it could quickly recover and transform.

To completely annihilate this Great Dharmic incarnation, they must, in an instant, eradicate all the fleeing blood droplets, leaving nothing behind!

Witnessing this scene, Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, without a trace of panic. Instead, he raised his hand and shouted, "Sword, come!"

Buzz!

A sword hum reverberated, and the Immortal Slaying Sword instantly pierced through the void, appearing in Qin Zheng's palm.

A surging, overwhelming sword intent flooded the heavens and earth.

At the same time, Qin Zheng's heart stirred, and his eyes instantly became distinct, with countless cause and effect threads appearing before him.

Regardless of how many blood droplets there were, as long as there was a causal connection, none could escape this sword!

Qin Zheng's mind surfaced with this thought, and without hesitation, his longsword swiftly slashed downward.

Whoosh!

The sword's momentum was overwhelming, but it seemed to have slashed at nothing, with no visible changes occurring.

However, in the next moment, the ears of the numerous powerhouses present heard the sound of countless threads snapping.

At the same time, the droplets of blood that had fled into the void instantly burst open, losing their spiritual essence.

In just one sword strike, following the countless blood droplets' cause and effect threads, the spiritual essence within them was directly severed and annihilated!

Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, without a trace of joy. The sword strike just now had only destroyed an incarnation.

With a wave of his hand, the Great Dharmic blood that had fled into the void returned to his front, amidst the surging Divine Light, the Great Dharmic blood that had lost its spiritual essence, retaining only the Great Dharmic power, returned to his front.

These Great Dharmic blood, in the eyes of the surrounding powerhouses, had become invaluable treasures, reaching the pinnacle of preciousness!

However, they dared not move a single thought, fearing that the Human Race Great Dharmic before them would sense it and irrationally annihilate them.

At this moment, Qin Zheng casually grabbed a drop of Great Dharmic blood and, with a casual wave, sent most of it back into the void.

At the same time, in the Spirit Netherworld...

The secluded cultivation clone suddenly opened its eyes, and within it, thunder power surged.

In the next moment, above its head, a rift appeared in the void, followed by thick blood, as if capable of crushing the void, pouring into its body.

Then, under the guidance of a strand of Qin Zheng's Great Dharmic power, these Great Dharmic blood transformed into pure Great Dharmic power.

The dense Great Dharmic power swiftly enveloped the clone, surging towards the deepest Power Divine Treasury within its body!

With temporary possession of Great Dharmic power, there was no need for virtue scrolls to refine them; he could extract the Great Dharmic power from these blood droplets!

After completing all this, Qin Zheng retracted his thoughts and casually collected the remaining Great Dharmic blood, taking a step forward into the depths of the Demon Ruins.

There, he saw a place, almost like the Spirit Netherworld, with a mountain peak that seemed to be suppressing a Demon Race Great Dharmic.

This was the place where the Demon Race Great Dharmic was sealed!

However, under Qin Zheng's gaze, the Demon Race Great Dharmic had already disappeared without a trace.

There was only an old man with white hair, hunched over, standing on the mountain peak, as if he could see Qin Zheng, calmly facing him.

Qin Zheng took a step forward, entering the place.

"The one sealed here is just a Demon Race Great Dharmic incarnation!"

Qin Zheng calmly spoke.

The old man looked at Qin Zheng and gently shook his head. "Is it worth it?"

He had already seen through Qin Zheng's true nature; it wasn't that he had personally attained the Great Dharmic, but that he had temporarily gained Great Dharmic power through the Primordial Lotus.

"If I didn't do that, I'd be dead, so what's there to consider?" Qin Zheng spoke in a cold tone.

Within the Heavens Palace fragment, the palm strike from the Demon Race's Great Dharmic incarnation had brought Qin Zheng to the brink of death, a first in his cultivation journey.

The Elder nodded, then shook his head, and looked down, "This place was once the core of the Qionglae Grand Realm."

"That Great Dharmic incarnation sat here in meditation for three million years. Under its influence, countless Heavenly Materials and Treasures were born."

"Even if your Dao injury cannot be healed here, you can still receive the greatest healing, enough to support you in taking the next step." The Elder spoke slowly.

But Qin Zheng spoke up, "Why not take action? With your strength, a Great Dharmic incarnation shouldn't be able to stir up much trouble!"

The Elder before him was both a Human Race cultivator and a Great Dharmic! Qin Zheng didn't know if the Elder had been here all along or had arrived after the Demon Race's Great Dharmic incarnation broke free.

Now that he temporarily possessed Great Dharmic power, he could easily see through the Elder's strength.

The Elder sighed upon hearing this.

After a moment of silence, he spoke with deep meaning, "Since you know he's just a Great Dharmic incarnation..."

"...why not consider why, in the great war, countless died, and many Great Dharmic perished, yet they were not slain but sealed?"

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed at these words.

They couldn't be killed, only sealed.

This Great Dharmic incarnation likely had a powerful background or a significant purpose!

"Give me a drop of his blood." The Elder requested again.

Qin Zheng hesitated slightly, then produced a drop of Great Dharmic blood, placing it in the Elder's palm.

Buzz! As a glow emerged, the drop of blood revived its spiritual essence.

Simultaneously, it transformed into a palm-sized figure, sitting cross-legged with closed eyes, a man in a wide-sleeved robe!

The Elder waved his hand, and the Demon Race's Great Dharmic incarnation returned to the mountain peak.

However, he seemed devoid of consciousness, maintaining this posture, unlike before.

"This guy can't die." The Elder sighed, explaining to Qin Zheng.

Despite being a Great Dharmic with an eternal lifespan, Qin Zheng sensed a deep waning aura from him.

"Who are you?" Qin Zheng asked.

He could sense that the power within him was starting to wane.

If he couldn't discern the Human Race cultivator's intentions, he would have to take action using his last reserves of strength.

The Elder paused slightly, as if lost in memories, before speaking slowly, "I can't remember much, only that my name is Xu Yang."

Xu Yang?! Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed.

He had heard this name in the Heart Demon's spiritual secret realm, where the Heart Demon's master had called him Xu Yang the Great.

Indeed, he was a Great Sage of the Jade Void lineage within the Qionglae Grand Realm.

His sect, the Supreme Taiyi Sect, was one that Xu Yang had intended to leave this realm to avoid a heavenly tribulation, heading for the other thirty-five heavens!

Why would he appear here?

Qin Zheng was about to speak when his power suddenly receded like a tidal wave, rapidly fading.

The consequences of forcibly possessing Great Dharmic power by consuming the Primordial Lotus seed also manifested at this moment.

Crack! Crack! Qin Zheng's body began to crack, and even his Inner Realm and Dao Palace showed signs of damage.

The difficulty of attaining Great Dharmic status and the challenge of Primordial cultivation!

Forcibly using Great Dharmic power came at a cost few could bear!

At this moment, Qin Zheng didn't hesitate, taking a step out of the Void Spirit Realm, instantly arriving within the Spirit Netherworld.

In Tranquil City, Qin Zheng stepped into a tranquil chamber, producing the Jade Will and the Immortal Slaying Sword, both emitting immortal light, enveloping him.

"I leave the rest to you!" In the final moment, he turned to his clone, transmitting all the memories he had just experienced, before being completely submerged in the immortal light.

The Dao injury caused by forcibly using Great Dharmic power wasn't irreparable; Qin Zheng had countless Demon Cores, Great Dharmic blood, and vast Innate Virtue.

Qin Zheng didn't believe it was beyond repair.

But this might require a significant amount of time.

And before this, in the Void, he had boldly slain the Demon Race's Great Dharmic incarnation before numerous Beyond-Realm Powerhouses.

These powerhouses might now actively seek him out, requiring his clone to deal with them! Otherwise, they might discover his secrets, realizing he possessed the ability to temporarily boost his power to the Great Dharmic level.

These powerhouses might not let him off easily!

As he spoke, his clone in silver-patterned black robes slowly opened his eyes, revealing a half-open door within.

A surging power, like a breaching dam, rushed out, making his aura even more formidable.

"I understand." He nodded slightly, turning his gaze to the outside of the tranquil chamber.
