Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 460: Chapter 286: Conclusion_2

“Bang!”

With one heavy step, the void cracked open, and Chen Tianjie steadied his body, looking up at the person attacking him.

But he saw not the figure of the person, only a cyan Azure Dragon shadow.

“Roar!”

The Azure Dragon roared, and from its mouth, it spat out a ray of golden light, a razor-sharp golden light.

Within the golden light, a White Tiger with wings surged forth tumultuously, transforming into a Xinjin Flying Sword engulfed in burning vermilion flames, aimed straight at Chen Tianjie’s vital spot in his chest.

Chen Tianjie’s gaze sharpened as he did not dare to slacken, his fists thundering outward, his facial features fierce as the Heavenly Demon armour followed his movements, transforming into a Heavenly Tribulation Demon God, channeling the power of the SLP mystical star, meeting his opponent with an incredibly fierce and evil aura.

Heaven’s Calamity Slaying the Wolf!

Among the four great Fighting War Saint Bodies of the Martial Path, each had its strengths, none superior to the others.

Subduing Dragon and Tiger was known for its power, with an energy like dragons and tigers, overwhelming in its momentum.

Overlord Non-urgent was known for its strength, with fists that could shatter all methods, shaking the very void.

Broken Vajra was known for its firmness, unbreakable, unshakable even by gods and demons.

And Heaven’s Calamity Slaying the Wolf was known for its “fierceness,” its lethalness!

What is lethalness?

It is the ability to kill, to inflict damage on living beings.

In terms of the power to inflict damage on living beings, among the four great Fighting War Saint Bodies, Heaven’s Calamity Slaying the Wolf is undoubtedly the strongest, but also the weakest in defense.

Therefore, Heaven’s Calamity Slaying the Wolf is complemented with Mysterious Iron Divine Weapons to make up for its defensive shortcomings.

But just the defense of Mysterious Iron Divine Weapons is not enough to place Chen Tianjie at the very pinnacle, so he also combined it with the Heavenly Demon Great Skill of the Demon Sect, forging the “Heavenly Tribulation Demon God” armour to protect his body, completely compensating for the defense shortcomings.

For him, there is no such thing as defense in battle, because offense is the best defense.

This moment was no exception.

One could only see him thrusting out both fists, with the Seven Killing and Pojun Twin Stars in action together, one aimed at the Xinjin White Tiger, seeking to break the enemy’s offensive momentum, and the other at the Yimu Qinglong, aimed at the opponent’s vital point.

But unexpectedly…

“Boom!”

The White Tiger with wings, like a fiery meteor, pierced through the Pojun Evil Qi and thundered towards the Heavenly Demon armour.

“Bang!!!”

With a clang, sparks flew in all directions, blood stained the sky, and Chen Tianjie staggered back, pressing one hand against his chest, but still unable to stop the gushing blood.

Pain, pain, pain, endless excruciating pain, as a mass of Sword Qi—a mass of incredibly sharp Sword Qi—exploded within his heart and lungs, leaving his heart and lungs full of holes, as if they had been turned into minced meat, and even the matchlessly defensive Heavenly Demon armour was pierced from the inside by specks of golden light, bursting into shocking traces of blood.

In such a state, after taking a few steps, Chen Tianjie planted one foot in the void, blood falling all around him, on the dark and dreary Heavenly Demon armour, it might not be eye-catching but still shocking to the heart.

Chen Tianjie clenched his teeth tightly, one hand pressed against his chest and lungs, but still, a large amount of blood surged out from between his fingers. Looking closely, beneath his palm, a deep hole had penetrated the Heavenly Demon armour, revealing a dazzling golden light.

It was indeed the result of that Xinjin strike.

Even as a Divine Intent Venerable, with divine flesh and lungs, one could self-heal and even regenerate from a single drop of blood.

But…

Within the lungs, the Sword Qi raged unrestrained, seemingly endless, intent on shredding the lungs.

This was not only the might of Swordsmanship but also the power of Divine Skills!

The Xinjin Sword Qi lodged in his heart and lungs; even for a Divine Intent Venerable, it was difficult to recover from the injury.

With such a severe injury, looking back at his opponent…

“Roar!”

The Azure Dragon roared angrily, lifting its head and spewing forth another divine light, but this time it was not the sharp Xinjin Sword Qi, but a heavy, dense yellow earthy radiance.

Within the yellow light, one could also see mystical visions, resembling the Black Tortoise riding the waves, and the Kylin running freely, transforming into a heavy yellow seal, as if a meteorite was crashing to the earth, it tumbled down.

Kui Water solidifying to create Earth, the Black Tortoise Kylin Seal!

Under such a strike…

“Ahh!!!”

Chen Tianjie bellowed furiously, disregarding the excruciating pain in his heart and lungs and the spurting blood, his fists shooting towards the heavens, as the power of Heaven’s Calamity Slaying the Wolf and the War God’s Atlas manifested in the world. From the carved stone steles, three blood-red mystical stars burst through the heavens.

At the brink of life and death, he threw everything into this blow, using all his might with the strength of the Fighting War Saint Body and the Great Demon God, bordering on transcending to the Tribulation Realm. freёwebnoѵel.com

This strike was the strongest of his life!

A hundred years had not been wasted; although he had not stepped into the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Realm, he had refined the Heavenly Tribulation Demon God armour to its limit, not weaker than the Overlord Non-urgent Broken Vajra Body of Li Hengjiang in the past, firmly placing him at the absolute peak within the Divine Intent Realm.

But to no avail… his opponent had surpassed this boundary, exceeded the realm of the Fifth Tier Divine Intent!

A century of accumulation, and although no Immortal Spirit emerged due to the limitations of materials, a vast number of Magic Artifacts were produced.

Present here now is a pseudo Immortal Spirit Mech Armor without an Immortal Spirit as its core, at the level of myriad artifacts!

Without an Immortal Spirit as its core, it is difficult to control myriad artifacts, but with the power of special traits such as “Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor” and “Heavenly Craft Divine General”, a person could act as the core and still drive the machine, exerting a force nearly comparable to that of an Immortal Spirit.

Although a fifth-tier Divine Intent can be compared to an inferior Immortal Spirit, this Immortal Spirit is not the same as that one; Heavenly Crafts Natural Creation and Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor are like Array Formations, able to surpass limitations, and they are even more powerful than the laws of the Array Formation.

Therefore, he was no longer confined by these limits, no longer within this category.

One at the pinnacle, the other beyond limits.

The final result…

“Boom!!!”

A mighty roar, earth-shattering, reverberated in all directions, causing everything to crumble.

In the midst of the catastrophic surge of power, a seal, with the force of a Meteorite Crashes to the Earth, descended upon and crushed the demonic star, annihilated the Demon God, and hammered Chen Tianjie, along with his armor, deep into the ground.

“Ancestor!!!”

Chen Bubai and Chen Baihu cried out in shock, intent on rushing forward, but they were blasted away by the turbulent waves, just as the Iron Heart Fortress’s people were out of the question, scattered in all directions like scattered bags.

In this manner, for an unknown duration.

On the battlefield, upon the earth, there remained only a massive pit, as deep as an abyss.

With one strike, the dust settled!

The living triumphed, the defeated perished, and the karmic cycle concluded; within the battlefield, there were no more shadows of dragons or tigers, no Sword Artifacts or seal, no crimson demonic star, no dark red Demon God—only a chasm and a landscape of devastation.

…

In Heavenly Domain City, the great battle had concluded, and the chaos finally dispersed.

The Cultivators of the Scholar’s Palace, the disciples of various institutions, were cleaning up the battlefield and restoring order, their actions methodical as if already well-practiced.

Indeed, they were skilled, as the campaigns across the Forty-five Domains had already provided them with ample experience.

Soon, this Heavenly Domain City—as well the entire terrain of the Heavenly Domain—will be brought under the rule of the Wandao School.

While the disciples of various institutions were tidying up the aftermath, the group of Deity Transformation Venerables and the newly arrived Bu Hongfu and two others gathered in one place, quietly waiting.

It was not long before they saw a divine light pierce through the sky, in an instant descending into the center, revealing the figure of a person.

“Forefather!”

“Taoist Master!”

“Your Highness!”

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly approached and bowed in a respectful salutation.

Although the motion was unanimous, the titles were different—a thought-inspiring moment.

But this was not the key point; Xu Yang cast his gaze downward, looking at the crowd: “How did it go?”

“Reporting to the Forefather!”

Su Shaoqing stepped forward to report the results of the battle: “Of the Black Path’s Four Sects and twelve Divine Intent Martial Artists, seven were captured alive, four were slain, but one managed to break through. In accordance with the Forefather’s words not to chase a desperate enemy, other losses among the Scholar’s Palace disciples…”

While focusing on the losses, it was still clear that it had been a resounding victory.

Losses were unavoidable; after all, the foundation of the Divine Martial Heritage lain there. Although the Wandao School has developed rapidly, just a mere hundred years is only enough to make up ground, not to establish an absolute gap.

Thus, in such a major battle, casualties were inevitable.

Not just this time, but during the campaigns across the domains and the pacification efforts, casualties were similarly unavoidable. It wasn’t a matter of mournful cries filling the land and blood flooding the cities, but still, “for one to succeed, a myriad bones are laid bare,” and the sacrifices were numerous.

Yet this did not hinder the development of the Wandao School; on the contrary, it even accelerated the school’s assimilation of all aspects and factions!

As previously mentioned, once the regulation of the physical law system was established, it becomes a great melting pot where everyone is kindling, tossed in to burn, contribute power, produce value, and drive the overall progress and development.

As cruel as it sounds, sometimes, some things require this kind of ruthlessness.

Xu Yang shifted his gaze, looking toward Bu Hongfu and the two standing cautiously beside him: “How are your injuries?”

“Master, rest assured, we are unharmed!”

Upon hearing this query, Bu Hongfu and the two were inwardly delighted, but they maintained their composure and bowed their heads even lower.

In the recent battle, the three of them did not slack off; instead, they fought bravely, even risking their lives to stop several Venerables from the Demon Sect. As a result, they sustained serious injuries, particularly Bu Hongfu, whose beautiful and captivating face had turned pale.

Xu Yang saw this and said calmly, “Merits and faults have canceled each other out previously, but let that be the last time. Under the rule of the Scholar’s Palace, laws are established. Merits are merits, faults are faults, and there is no longer offsetting one with the other. Do not cross the line again in the future, understood?”

“We are aware and will not dare to forget!”

Although it was a reprimand, Bu Hongfu and the others harbored no resentment. Instead, they were overjoyed and promptly responded in agreement.

Seeing this, Xu Yang did not speak further and turned his eyes toward the northwest of the Heavenly Domain, “In ten years, we’ll confront the Demon Realm again!”
