CULTIVATION: WHEN YOU TAKE THINGS TO THE EXTREME

Chapter 842: Chapter 523: The Attack _2

“`

“The original Spiritual Rhinoceros Divine Sword was designed to target the Primordial Spirit, to eradicate souls and wipe out spirits, undetectable and unavoidable. But after being refined by his demon skills, it forcibly took on the path of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, shifting from targeting the Primordial Spirit to targeting the physical body. However, it lacked the killing power of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and could only use the Red Flame Devil Fire as a substitute.”

“`

“`

“It’s only because the original quality rank of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Divine Sword was so high that it survived the process. Otherwise, it wouldn’t only fail to remain a Supreme Immortal Artifact, it wouldn’t even maintain the status of a Superior Grade one.”

“`

…

“`

“Wow, big sister, how do you know so much?”

“`

“`

“You think everyone is like you, ignorant and incompetent, only knowing how to cheat and be sly?”

“`

“`

“…”

“`

“`

Sanyun spoke again, revealing another Heaven-Connecting secret.”

“`

“`

By that time, Xu Yang had finished washing and refining the Spiritual Rhinoceros Divine Sword, which emitted only a faint white glow, without a trace of bloody red or demonic flame impurity.”

“`

“`

Seeing this, Yun Qing spoke, “Elder brother, is there any possibility of repairing and restoring this sword?”

“`

“`

Xu Yang shook his head and sighed, “The corruption has been going on for too long, the poisoning too deep. At most, it can be restored to an Immortal Artifact, but there’s little hope for it to become an Immortal Treasure again.”

“`

“`

Upon hearing this, Yun Qing also felt helpless, “That Red Flame fiend truly wasted heavenly resources, destroying this Heaven-Connecting Secret Treasure!”

“`

“`

In her words, there was nothing but regret. Although they had not been sworn siblings for long, she was well aware of her elder brother’s prowess in Artifact Refining. After all, the name of the Wandao School and the fame of Heavenly Mechanics Methods had already spread throughout the Immortal Realm, not to mention the emergence of Supreme Immortal Artifacts like the Li Ground Flame Light Banner. To say he was the number one Artifact Refining Immortal Master in the Earth Immortal Realm was no exaggeration.”

“`

“`

If even he said there was no hope for the Immortal Treasure, then it was likely that the Spiritual Rhinoceros Divine Sword truly couldn’t be restored to an Immortal Treasure.”

“`

“`

This made Yun Qing feel very regretful because the notoriety of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Divine Sword and the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was well known in the Heavenly Secret Realm, even surpassing the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, which she and her sisters had been contemplating, and perhaps even more so.”

“`

“`

After all, formations like these truly aren’t as convenient as Immortal Artifacts.”

“`

“`

Despite saying this, Yun Qing still tried to comfort him with persuading words, “Elder brother, there’s no need for regret. The Spiritual Rhinoceros Divine Sword and the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife are ancient treasures, and there have been many who tried to replicate them. If the Red Flame fiend could obtain one, naturally, elder brother can too.”

“`

“`

Xu Yang nodded, agreeing with this.”

“`

“`

Having prepared for the Heavenly Secret Realm for ten thousand years, he already had a plan and knew how to spend this lengthy period.”

“`

“`

There was no need to elaborate on the Innate Five Directions Banner. Yin Yang and Five Elements were the fundamentals of the Immortal Path and were obviously essential to study.”

“`

“`

There were wonders in each of the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The Earth Book particularly aligned with the Earth Deity Cultivation Method, and it also had the effect of adjusting the Earth Veins and increasing Spiritual Energy, which would greatly benefit the farming enterprise and the development of the Scholar’s Palace. This too could not be missed.”

“`

“`

Afterwards, it would be time for the Spiritual Rhinoceros Divine Sword and the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife. Although until now, no one in the Earth Immortal Realm had managed to replicate the Top Grade Level Spiritual Rhinoceros Divine Sword and Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, there were Middle and Superior Grade ones available.”

“`

“`

The origin of these Middle and Superior Grades comes from replicas of replicas. For example, the the Immortal-Slaying Stage in the Heavenly Court essentially mimics the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife. After obtaining the relevant techniques from the Heavenly Court, Xu Yang also constructed an Immortal-Slaying Stage in the Ascension Platform, serving as the Lower Realm’s arbiter of justice, a legitimate penal instrument.”

“`

“`

But the techniques from the Heavenly Court alone were far from sufficient. To elevate the Immortal-Slaying Stage to a Supreme Immortal Artifact or even an Immortal Treasure would require the effort of this Taoist Master.”

“`

“`

In his anticipation, the Immortal-Slaying Stage should combine the powers of both the Spiritual Rhinoceros Divine Sword and Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, vanquishing both the Primordial Spirit and the physical body, becoming a truly named killer of the Immortal Path.”

“`

“`

In this way, with the ‘Five Elements Immortal Venerable’ who is untouchable by myriad laws in charge of defense, and the ‘Immortal-Slaying God General’ who can slay all things leading the offense, complemented by the ‘Nine Rituals Heavenly Venerate’ who is adept at both offense and defense, the three major True Immortal Mechas of the Wandao School would no longer have any significant weaknesses.”

“`

“`

This was Xu Yang’s first ‘One Hundred Thousand Years Plan!’”

“`

“`

The Innate Five Directions Banner!”

“`

“`

The Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man!”

“`

“`

Spiritual Rhinoceros Divine Sword, Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife!”

“`

“`

With the opportunity of ten thousand years and focusing on these three, as long as he can discern the essence of each, combined with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture and the Tusita Divine Edict gained from the Blue Star World, his Cultivation, Realm, and battle strength will definitely see an immense enhancement.”

“`

“`

With increased power, any hardship can be overcome.”

“`

“`

But all these premises are contingent on overcoming the current difficulty…”

“`

“`

“Zhen Yuanzi!”

“`

“`

“Li Liuxian!”

“`

“`

Two shouts resound, shaking the Immortal Realm.”

“`

Xu Yang raised his head, and saw that from both sides, there was an encirclement. On one side, a golden light shone brilliantly, outshining the proud sun, and came piercing through the sky with rampant speed. It was not like moving, but better than moving, with the force of water striking three thousand miles, and ascending ten thousand miles. On the other side, demonic fire swept over everything, turning a thousand miles to scorched earth, setting half the sky ablaze with residual glow, truly unmatched in tyranny.

From both sides, the forces converged and quickly reached the front of the Nanli Immortal Array, transforming into two towering figures, accompanied by a host of demons, all of which had Tribulation Realm cultivation. The battleground was tightly enclosed, impervious to water.

It was indeed…

“Golden-Winged Peng!”

“Fire Evil!”

With one glance, Xu Yang recognized the identities of the newcomers.

They were the demon gods of the Demon Race and the demon monarchs of the Devil Race, the Golden-Winged Peng and the Fire Evil.

The former needs no introduction, the Golden-Winged Peng, being of the imperial clan among demons, only ranked below the phoenix, and by nature fierce and belligerent, a predator among birds, with notorious ferocity.

The one before them was just as much so, known as the Golden-Winged Demon God, the Great Roc Heavenly King, a famous war god within the Demon Race, second only to the Demon Emperor, the Phoenix Master, with an absolutely strong combat power, even among the Nine Tribulations True Immortals, he was top-class.

The latter is equally undisputed, Fire Evil, the tyrant among devils, a local fight god with a well-known fearsome reputation, one of the three giants of the Demon Abyss, with earth-shattering combat power, not lesser than the Great Roc Heavenly King.

Two great demon gods and demon monarchs, both excelling in warfare, equated to compete against the Western Extreme Great Emperor, who primarily led battles for the Heavenly Court; you can imagine their potency.

As for why the Demon Emperor and Demon Lord did not personally come, that involved a “Tian Ji’s horse racing” strategy.

In the combat for the Heavenly Secret Realm, various forces clash, adopting different strategies similar to Tian Ji’s horse racing, with strengths and weaknesses pitted against each other.

In the last encounter, the Demon Emperor took the field in person, becoming the strongest force within the Secret Realm. Although the Heavenly Court’s Buddhist Sect had the Western Extreme Emperor, the war god of Heavenly Court, they did not gain much advantage, they even suffered considerable losses. Consequently, when the Secret Realm reopened, the Western Pole Emperor returned to the Heavenly Court to recuperate, and has not left seclusion since then.

This rotation was supposed to be dominated by the Great Sun Mahavairocana from Buddhism, suppressing the Demon Lord of the Demon Abyss, and taking advantage in this ten-thousand-year dispute.

But…

The Great Sun Mahavairocana was protecting the path at South Observance, and that’s where the main force was absent.

On the other side, from the Demon Abyss, that Demon Lord, without such constraints, it was just unknown for what reason, did not come immediately.

But this situation was perilous enough, with two great combat-focused demon gods and demon monarchs, plus a group of demons from the Tribulation Realm, all bearing down fiercely, in a battle to the death.

Seeing this, Xu Yang was forthright, with a sweep of his sleeve, he brought the three from Yun Qing into the city. The three had only Second Calamity and Below-tier cultivation, they joined this realm only to comprehend the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, acting as guides and atmosphere makers with no plan to join the battle, nor the capacity to do so.

“Li Liuxian!”

The Great Roc Heavenly King approached with a vigorous momentum, coldly eyeing Xu Yang with a piercing killing intent, “Entering the Tribulation Realm, very good, very good. And that Nine Rituals Heavenly Sword, did you bring it? The grievances of the past, today I will settle them all.”

In his words, hidden hatred was perceived.

However, Xu Yang didn’t seem concerned, turning his gaze instead towards Fire Evil, standing to one side.

He had dealt with the Great Roc Heavenly King before, once collaborating with the Heavenly Court’s Buddhist Sect. When the artifact refining technology leaked, bringing immense pressure on the demons and devils; finally, it was the appearance of the Great Roc Heavenly King, leading a great army of demons, who invaded South Observance seeking to remove this significant threat.

But by that time, he had become powerful, his foundation secure. Not only had he set up the Nine Ceremony Sword Formation in South Observance to wait for his enemies, but he also ambushed them together with the Heavenly Court’s Buddhist Sect. In the end, the prominent war god of the Demon Race had to flee in defeat.

With such a previous enmity, resentment was expected.

But after the battle at South Observance, Xu Yang knew his opponent’s capabilities well, so he wasn’t overly wary.

On the other hand, he hadn’t dealt with Fire Evil before and needed to be more vigilant against him.

Such differential treatment made the Great Roc Heavenly King’s eyes grow colder, his murderous intent deepened, and the sword qi inside him threatened to surface, forcing the surrounding Tribulation Realm demon gods to involuntarily retreat.

“Why talk more, let’s kill!”

Fire Evil, on the other hand, was more direct, drawing out a bloodstained, badly damaged Demon Blade, pointing it straight at the opponent, raising a fierce battle aura.

Indeed, it was a Heaven-Connecting Secret Treasure, a Ninth Order broken weapon—the Heaven-Slaying Blade!
