Perfect World: The Path of Pure Source
Chapter 41, Part 3: The Grassroots God, A Bountiful Harvest
A great upheaval has suddenly occurred in the Burial Realm and the Ancient Burial Hall!
The four extraordinary talents—the Heavenly King, the Fallen God, the Dark God, and Lone Sword Cloud—gathered together, only to be annihilated in one fell swoop by the suddenly appearing Overlord.
What if you cultivate immortal energy? What if you are glorious and invincible for several lifetimes? You will still die and your cultivation will perish!
At this moment, everyone in the hall held their breath. How could they have imagined that the four great kings would all fall so tragically? Their demise one after another was a major earthquake that would shake the ancient world.
Leaving aside the Heavenly King and the Fallen God Child, who were kicked to death like stray dogs on the street, the Lone Sword Cloud and the Dark God Child, who displayed celestial aura, were terrifying enough. And what was the result? They were both killed by the Overlord with a single hand!
The power of double pupils is astonishing!
"The four ancient kings have all passed away. They were powerful for generations, and few could rival them in heaven and earth. Today, they tasted defeat and walked towards the end of their lives." Someone murmured, his body swaying, with a sense of disorientation and confusion.
Before the battle, most people believed that the four kings were invincible and unbeatable because they had gone through trials and tribulations time and time again to prove their kingly status. However, the result was quite unexpected. Among the contemporary aboriginal people, there was a true overlord who fought with unparalleled power!
This battle cemented the Overlord's unparalleled status; even when facing a celestial king, he was powerful and stunning!
Yang Jian stood expressionless amidst the corpses, with strange phenomena rising and falling behind him from the heavens and earth. Suddenly, four more battle spirits appeared: the former King of Heaven, shrouded in celestial mist; the former Fallen God, spreading his black and white wings; and the ancient corpse spirit of the Underworld, the Dark God, and the successor nurtured by Sword Valley, Lone Sword Cloud.
The four kings of the inheritance, the future leaders, all became his battle spirits and grass god.
"This...this is the legendary Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture of the Temple, summoning the battle spirits that exist between heaven and earth? The Overlord is even more ruthless, turning all his slain enemies into slaves!"
"In fact, he's very selective. Only true kings will become his battle spirits. Look closely, those he's currently recruiting are all geniuses capable of cultivating immortal energy!"
"Besides the four kings, there are two more battle spirits?"
"I vaguely remember those two. One was the infamous Golden Ant from 20,000 years ago, who swept through the Immortal Ancient Era. Later, when he tried to cultivate immortal energy, he was corrupted by darkness and disappeared! The other was that three-time crowned king, the Golden Bow Hunter God!"
This scene shocked everyone in the hall. They never expected that the battle spirit power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture would be evolved into such a way, enslaving former enemies!
Some people were even speechless, because the Overlord was really picky. For example, he didn't integrate the six masters he had killed into the Grass God, which was a clear indication that he didn't like them.
Meanwhile, outside, on the edge of the vast no-man's-land, this battle, reflected in the petals of the Immortal Ancient Flower, stirred up a thousand waves of turmoil.
"Dead? They're all dead!" The cultivators from all sects were as if they had seen a ghost, unable to believe that the unparalleled Fallen God, the Heavenly King, the Dark God, and Lone Sword Cloud were all dead!
The Overlord descended from the sky, completely dominating and sweeping aside the four kings. Even though they had cultivated immortal energy, it was all in vain, and the battle ended in a miserable defeat.
"Yang Jian!!!" A roar came from inside a dark gold chariot, which caused many true gods to collapse to the ground and many celestial gods to cough up blood.
People knew that he was the strongest in Fallen God Ridge, who had once rivaled Qi Daolin. Fallen God Child was the successor he had carefully cultivated, consuming his endless efforts. Now, however, he had been defeated and died, causing him to lose his composure.
"What a double pupil, what a tyrant! He must die!" On the other side, the Heavenly Kingdom's skeleton chariot burst forth with countless rays of blood, and a pale figure emerged, his killing intent intense, staring at the figure within the Immortal Ancient Petals.
The Heavenly King, their carefully groomed successor, who was even destined to become the new ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom, died just like that! Even their top assassin was casually crushed to death by the Overlord before. How could they not be furious at losing two great successors at once?
With a whoosh, sword light shot into the sky, and the enormous flying sword from Sword Valley unleashed a chilling gleam, shattering the heavens and splitting the vast sea of clouds in two. The vice master of Sword Valley appeared, his expression icy. "Gu Jianyun cannot die in vain; many will perish with him!"
Gu Jianyun was the future valley master whom the sect had truly invested its efforts in cultivating. He cultivated the Heavenly Technique and forged the Immortal Golden Sword. It could be said that his potential was limitless, second only to the Six-Crown King. He even cultivated immortal energy on his own. However, he died young, causing Sword Valley both heartache and madness.
In the underworld, a mournful dirge for the dead echoed. The powerful figures of the sect neither cried out nor appeared, but they made their stance clear: the Overlord would pay the price. The Dark God Child bore a great mission for the underworld and was an important test subject for them to reverse life and death; how could he die like this?!
Everyone was shocked. The successors nurtured by the four major sects had been wiped out by the Overlord in one fell swoop. The high-ranking members of these powerful forces could only sulk here, helpless!
However, amidst the tense atmosphere of killing intent, a loud laugh rang out from inside the temple: "Well done, a true hero indeed, worthy of the reputation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture."
The gods were taken aback. As expected of one of the three oldest powers, they were still so arrogant. The temple was clearly going to protect the Overlord and even make him the new Holy Son!
Hmph! A cold snort came from within Juntian territory. Jun Dao, the successor of the sect, was also killed by Ba Wang. He was just casually slapped to death, as pathetic as a stray dog on the roadside, and didn't even have the qualifications to become a battle spirit.
"The temple, is it so great?" The gods of the Demon Dragon Sect, Fire Cloud Cave, and Luofu True Valley also looked grim. Their successors had died at Yang Jian's hands, so they naturally disapproved of the temple's actions.
"Compared to you, my temple is indeed remarkable." The voice from within the temple remained calm, even tinged with amusement, pointing towards the four major sects that suppressed the sinful blood. "Or do you think you're so great for stealing the fruits of the borderlands?"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the four major sects paled in shock and were about to argue when a voice came from inside the Immortal Palace: "Alright, stop arguing. Our sect's successor, Di Chong, didn't say anything even after being beheaded by Huang. Just keep watching!"
Upon hearing this, the outside world calmed down and looked again at the scene reflected in the fairy petals.
Inside the Burial Hall, Yang Jian was already taking stock of his spoils from killing the four great kings.
"Let me see the techniques you've mastered!" His double pupils shifted, and the technique of turning back the sun reappeared, directly enveloping the fallen god's battle spirit. He rummaged through the boy's memories to examine the wondrous techniques he had learned.
The first technique is: Smelting Technique. This is a lost divine power that can burn the nine heavens, refine gods and demons, and even refine many precious materials, melting them into molten iron to drink into the body and enhance physical strength.
The second technique is the Return to Emptiness Technique, which is another great supernatural power that has been lost for a long time. It does not belong to the Fallen God Ridge and can directly turn a person's physical body into nothingness, disintegrating and completely dissipating tangible matter.
These two forbidden techniques were both gains of the Fallen God Child in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. In addition, there is the world-renowned divine power of the Fallen God Ridge: the Fallen God Seal!
He also mastered this skill using his double pupils. Then, Yang Jian slapped the corpse of the fallen god, sweeping away the blood and bones. Instantly, a bright blood light shone, a phoenix cry shook the heavens, a dazzling rune flashed, and a colorful dagger forged from immortal gold flew up and pierced in front of him.
Clang! Yang Jian raised his hand and grabbed the dagger in his palm. He discovered that it was branded with the heart's blood of the Fallen God, and there were phoenix-like patterns flowing within the blood. This was an ancient technique!
"I understand now. The Fallen God Child has mastered one of the techniques of the True Phoenix, one of the Ten Fiends. He used this technique to kill his strongest enemy with the Immortal Gold Dagger!" Suddenly, an ancient freak exclaimed in surprise, revealing a secret.
When the Immortal Ancient Realm opened last time, the Fallen God used this method to kill the Three-Crown King. He used the True Phoenix Immortal Body in combination with a dagger to launch a surprise attack, causing that ancient freak to die with regret.
"Not bad." Yang Jian nodded in satisfaction. This Fallen God Child is truly wealthy. Not only does he possess the Fallen God Seal, an unparalleled divine power left over from the ancient immortals, but he also has the Melting Technique, the Returning to Emptiness Technique, and the True Phoenix Undying Body. It can be described as a great harvest.
However, when he was going through the memories of the Heavenly King and his legacy, his face darkened, as he did not see any great inheritance that was worth mentioning.
From beginning to end, only the Void Slaughtering Path inherited from the Heavenly Kingdom was somewhat useful and worth cultivating. In comparison, the Heavenly Kingdom's rulers were extremely poor, which made Yang Jian very disdainful, so he slapped the battle spirit on the forehead.
The Dark God's memories were muddled, filled with the chaotic will of his previous life, so Yang Jian couldn't explore them too much. However, he did obtain the Three Burials Secret Technique from them.
This technique is extremely powerful, and it even faintly exudes an aura that does not belong to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and is different from other realms, making Yang Jian wonder if it was left behind by the beings of the Burial Domain.
Then, he immersed himself in Gu Jianyun's sword memories, quickly comprehending the sword scriptures and moves he cultivated. He gained a lot from the corpse of this Sword Valley King, and there was even a silver remnant burning, carrying the aura of immortals, which seemed to be the remnant of the immortal fire that Gu Jianyun used to ignite the divine fire.
Normally, even if others obtain the ancient fire left behind by a true immortal, the fire will leave and return to the world after they achieve godhood, unless they cultivate a peerless scripture like the Great Burning Heaven Technique to preserve it; but Gu Jianyun's remnant fire is exactly the same as his Sword Valley inheritance, which is why it left behind a trace of extremely yang and strong divine fire.
"Could it be the legacy left to Sword Valley by that remnant immortal of the sword path? Specifically used to ignite the divine fire and cultivate successors to suppress the Sinful State?" Yang Jian pondered. The original Lone Sword Cloud in history was also quite capable. Although he was no match for Shi Hao, he survived the tribulation and continued to oppose him, eventually breaking into the Nine Heavens Academy. This might be the root of the problem.
After putting away the extremely masculine remnant of immortal energy, he took out the sword embryo of Lone Sword Cloud.
At this moment, Yang Jian's left eye, which was covered in double pupils, suddenly lit up, and the Tai'a Sword flew out on its own and stuck to the celestial gold sword embryo.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred, and Gu Jianyun's Immortal Golden Sword Embryo was directly devoured and fused by the Tai'a Sword!
When Yang Jian realized what was happening, the lone sword Yunjian embryo in his hand had already turned into dust and disintegrated. Instead, the Tai'a sword was filled with celestial golden light, completely possessing a physical form and undergoing a qualitative change in power.
Even the time law of the Heavenly Gang Technique: Returning Wind and Fire attached to it has been further strengthened, surpassing many precious techniques.
"This...only immortal metal can become the vessel for the Heavenly Divine Weapon?" Yang Jian let out a soft exclamation, his expression turning serious. If that's the case, wouldn't the nine immortal metals, plus other immortal materials, be perfectly suited to fuse with his Ten Perfect Divine Weapons? Or perhaps the Ten Fiends?
Yang Jian was thinking that this was worth putting into practice. Of course, it was not impossible to combine all of these elements together to create an unprecedentedly powerful three-pointed double-edged spear!
