Divine Brilliance - Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008: Sure Win

“Weren’t you dispirited? Why did you suddenly get angry?”

The time when the Sword Spirit showed fury was exactly when Hanqing tossed out the corpses and also when Xingya appeared.

Like he had seen a huge enemy, a certain rage rose up into the sky.

Who knew if this sword was angry about Common People’s Path being bullied or if it had some grievances with this World Stepping Demon Lord?

Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to get what he wished to kill that Hanqing.

The Nameless Sword gave out a light buzz as a reply then it quietened down, becoming even more dejected.

Zong Shou shook his head and stopped bothering about it. Recently, he had been tortured regularly by the emotional changes of this Artifact Spirit.

He turned his head and saw that Chuxue was clenching her fists, she looked like her stomach was filled with rage. Like a cat that was in a frenzy. Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh, then a cold glow appeared in his eyes.

The date of the final battle had been set and that technique could begin already.

The only regret he had was that he still hadn’t thought of a way to break this situation.

The only thing that he could think of was a fight to the death.

After the few days of looking at the formations to search for any weaknesses, they were either fixed or largely hidden.

There weren’t many perfect formations in the world.

After today, Zong Shou stopped patrolling every day and instead locked Chuxue and himself in the cultivation room.

He was originally prepared to lock himself up alone but Chuxue was unusually sticky to him and wasn’t willing to even be half a step away.

Zong Shou was helpless and could only allow her to do so. He started off with his body totally naked, using the Saint Realm Dragon Blood that he had collected to draw marks and patterns on his body.

There were three types of techniques in this world that could help to temporarily increase one’s combat strength.

One was to ignite the potential of one’s body, using some True Qi or if more serious, to use some lifeforce; second, would be to use the power of pills and medicine; third, would be the blood sacrifice techniques that the Demon Sect loved to use. They used tens of millions of innocent people, using the Vital Energy and Essence Energy of people around for their own.

Zong Shou admitted that he wasn’t a righteous person, but that last method was something he really couldn’t bring himself to do. He also didn’t have many suitable herbs and pills on him.

Thus, he could only do something which was a combination of the first two.

From this moment on, he locked up the aura in his body, within 10 days, he wouldn’t be able to use any internal energy and any Soul Power.

He would be like a normal person, any Celestial Realm that could cut through his flesh would be able to kill him.

However, in 10 days, his strength would explode. At that time, he would consume some pills and use some true energy and he would temporarily have Saint Realm strength. There was no need for him to consume lifeforce.

This was a secret technique that Zong Shou got from Liu Muchen, it was a really exquisite method. However, when one sealed up the Energy Meridians, they would be in extreme danger. If he wasn’t in the Common People’s Vast Habitat and had so many End Realm protecting him, Zong Shou wouldn’t dare to do that.

He originally wanted to hand over this secret technique to Common People’s Path. However, a few days ago, he learned that many of the cultivators had started learning the Source Ocean Spirit Changing Art.

In terms of bringing out potential and raising combat strength, this Dao Soldier technique left by Xi Zi would only be stronger than the one he had.

Zong Shou also gave up on such thoughts, leaving all the pills he gained these few years which could replenish energy on his own.

Drawing talisman patterns on his body was another secret technique that could strengthen a portion of his strength. The price to pay was weakening of other areas.

Zong Shou’s choice was the Common People’s Killing Sword that could merge Massacring and Slaying Sword Intents.

Although this sword technique was just a Grade Ten Saint Spirit technique, he could also merge his comprehension of the Imperial Demon Slaying Records into it. He was confident in raising the strength of this to Grade Eleven- Godlike!

Using his Sword Intent which was Intermediate Spirit Realm, he would be able to go up against any Martial Path and Spirit Master.

Massacring Slaying, it wasn’t as wide as things like Dao and Law and it wasn’t like Yin and Yang, and the five elements that were closer to the origin of the laws.

However, the pure Massacring and Slaying had the strength that no one could block.

As long as their cultivation wasn’t there and their martial path cultivation was slightly weaker, they wouldn’t be able to block his sword.

As such, Hanqing could only flee in such a haggard manner. Against the Heavens Demon, reflecting and going against all things, he couldn’t go against Zong Shou’s sword.

The moment he touched it, he would be killed right away.

At this moment, the formation Zong Shou drew on his body could raise the strength of the sword by 50%!

The price was the One Origin Sword, Dragon Shadow Sword, Instant Space Sword, etc. Even if he used them, they would be close to half weaker.

The moment Zong Shou drew the formation and used spells to seal all the meridians in his body, Chuxue looked over with nefarious intentions, and a weird glow flashed in her watery eyes with a craving intent.

Why did she feel that Young Master was easy to bully now?

Just as Zong Shou didn’t know what was going on, Chuxue pounced over and pushed him down. She hugged him.

She was hugging his few snow white tails, her face full of satisfaction as she brushed her cheeks onto them.

Only then did Zong Shou notice that due to the restrictions he was unable to control his monster body.

He felt a huge headache, he only needed to stay in this room for 10 days until this would end and he probably wouldn’t expose his identity.

Speaking of which, everyone loved his few Fox Tails.

Not only did Ruoshui like it, Chuxue and Yiren were the same. Even Kong Yao would often subconsciously play around with it.

The embarrassment turned into rage and Zong Shou wanted to grab at Chuxue’s cat ears.

However, Chuxue’s face was flushed red as she looked at his crotch.

Zong Shou took a look and felt slightly awkward. Due to him sealing the True Qi into the Energy Ocean, it was a pillar striking into the sky.

A look of suspicion rose up in her eyes but she continued to hug the Fox Tails even more tightly, they were pretty much merged into her chest. His pillar-like presence jumped up and appeared more vicious.

Chuxue was stunned and looked towards Zong Shou nervously…

Zong Shou couldn’t help but sigh, did this girl want his life?

Did she not know that this Fox Tail was the most sensitive part of their Sky Fox Race?

※※※※

Just as Zong Shou hesitating whether or not to let things go toward the more evil direction, to push her down.

Not far away from Common People’s Vast Habitat there were two Taoists who were wearing clothed shirts and hemp shoes who were playing a game of chess.

Stone chairs and a table from who knows where was placed in the void.

One of them was Qingxuan. Opposite him was Taihuang.

Although they were playing chess but they spent little focus on the game.

“Just now the Demon Sect sent their most outstanding disciple to Common People’s Vast Habitat. He said he was there to give a gift but in fact he threw down 300 Common People’s Path corpses.”

“He was obviously there to provoke them. The World Stepping Demon Lord wants to force Xiuguan to act and also test the strength of Common People’s Path.”

“Then, what was the outcome?”

“We can’t see whether or not Xiuguan had recovered or not but we know that currently, Xiuguan is the only one carrying up Common People’s Path. However, they have many skilled disciples. This is one of the reasons why they have to die…”

Qingxuan thought about it for a long while before placing down a chess piece.

Actually, at this moment, no matter what Common People’s Path did, it was wrong. They couldn’t act weak, but they couldn’t act strong either.

The stronger they were, the more they deserved to die.

“The junior from Demon Sect known as Hanqing is really surprising. The speed that he rose up even exceeds that of Zong Shou.”

As for Tanqiu, although Tanqiu won and caused Hanqing to flee, 10 days from now, could that person even flee?

When the nest falls, there would be no complete egg. Even if he was fortunate enough to survive, his potential definitely couldn’t be compared to Hanqing.

“This was how Heaven and Earth is balanced. Since there are people like Shiyue and Zong Shou, then naturally there will be someone from Demon Sect to go up against them. Luck will definitely change…”

“Junior Brother is correct! However, we have to be careful about the Primordial Demon Lord.”

“You are worried that this person would snatch the Mysterious Golden Life Book?”

“Yes!”

Qingxuan had no intention to hide his fear, “These things are really important to us and decide whether or not we have a chance to rise up in the future. We can’t let this thing fall into the hands of others, especially the Demon Sect. If he tries to snatch it, then only Cibei can go up against him in the Cloud World…”

His tone was filled with helplessness. Although the three sides were working together, before the battle even began, they were wary of one another.

Taihuang sighed, “Speaking of which, we have to work together with Bailu Heavenly Place once more. I have nothing to say, we just have to give up some things. However, just Dong and Zhu? They want us to give way, that is far from enough.”

Qingxuan laughed when he heard this, “It will depend on whether those two Saints can persuade the Great Shang Emperor.”

“He most probably can’t reject. However, are we belittling Common People’s Path? After all, Xi Zi left some methods.”

“You are referring to the Seven Swords? Xiuguan and Wei Xu had wasted them, so what do we have to fear?”

“Forging a fake sword, they probably did due to helplessness right?”

His tone was a mocking one, causing Qingxuan to laugh out too.

At the same time, within Cloud World Imperial City.

Great Shang Emperor Yinyu was expressionlessly looking at a decree.

It was a document announcing to the world to attack Common People’s Path.

Troops were all prepared and the 400,000 Huang and Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers who took years to build up were all prepared.

With this decree sent, they would fight to the end against Common People’s Path.

However, anyone familiar with him knew that this person was hesitating.

If they attacked Common People’s Vast Habitat, they would suffer losses. Because of his selfishness, he wasn’t willing for Taoist Faction and the Confucians to rule.

Although Common People’s Path was filled with messed up rebels, they helped to restrict them.

He was hesitant as he looked to his left, only to see the Hanlin Academy Imperial Secretary Zuoxin bow, “Dong and Zhu Saints have promised that they would go all out to protect Great Shang.”

His brow rose up. As an Emperor, he could order the four seas and even suppress the Taoist Faction.

This Confucian Saint had huge credit!

As long as he was still the owner of the Central Cloud Continent and followed the Confucian Path, then all Confucians would have to be loyal to him and follow his orders.

However, if he rejected today, what would happen?

He looked to his right at Great Shang Grand Teacher Zhongxuan who also bowed, “If there are no changes in this battle, it is a definite win!”

Yinyu smiled bitterly and pressed down his seal onto the decree.
