Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 6043: What’s Left after Devouring
He surveyed the scorched earth of the entire Moro Spacetime.
At that time, Qishen’s strength was much stronger than he had imagined.
Half-Step Eighth Tribulation realm was already very modest.
Looking at these traces, it was at least comparable to the peak of the Eighth Tribulation realm to achieve this.
The entire Moro Spacetime was destroyed.
“Virtous!” Hu Qing clasped his hands together and said calmly, “Brother Wushuang, the destruction here is related to devouring!”
Jian Wushuang didn’t need Hu Qing’s reminder to see this.
If it was simply destroying the spacetime river, he could do it too, but the state after destruction would never be a scorched earth.
Casually grabbing a handful of scorched earth, he could see through it that the ashes left behind should have been some kind of material force.
If it was destroyed by divine power, the entire Moro Spacetime would probably leave nothing behind.
It excluded the possibility that Qishen didn’t cultivate divine power and only followed the Origin Source route.
Then, if the other party wanted to destroy Moro Spacetime, they would also start from the Origin Source of Spacetime.
Destroying the Origin Source of Spacetime.
Then at the time of Moro Spacetime’s destruction, it would be like a dried-up ocean.
Water without a source would gradually deplete.
What should have been left behind would be a desolate land, not endless scorched earth.
“Qishen devoured this spacetime!” Jian Wushuang put down the scorched earth. It was still as he initially thought; Qishen’s fall was not so tragic but purposeful.
Hu Qing nodded in agreement, thinking similarly, then commented, “It should be to grow quickly, to force rapid growth, and the Origin Source he cultivated back then, following the Origin Source route, was probably to devour the Spacetime Origin Source. In the end, he failed and suffered a backlash, ultimately having no choice but to sever his devouring path and then prepare for his aftermath, like Qishen Temple!”
This speculation seemed reasonable to Jian Wushuang.
In their eyes, Qishen was already a petty person.
A petty person, how could he give up his path and be unwilling to undergo Tribulation?
“Delusional!” Jian Wushuang shook his head with a bitter smile. Qishen back then was indeed delusional.
He thought that by devouring the Origin Source of Spacetime, he could become the Master of Spacetime.
In Qishen Temple, the realm described above Universe Master was vaguely the Master of Spacetime.
But when Jian Wushuang reached the upper-level spacetime and broadened his horizons, he found out things weren’t that simple.
Above the Universe Master, there were currently various gods.
To really say there was a Master of Spacetime, it would be Realm King.
He controlled the entire Northern Spacetime.
He was the only one who was the Master of Spacetime.
The remaining superpowerful beings, whether they were those ancient existences in the Northern Spacetime or the cultivators of the Realm God Continent, were at most in the Ninth Tribulation.
He didn’t know the realms beyond that.
Realm King had never mentioned it.
Perhaps there was no realm above.
Beyond god?
Jian Wushuang did not dare to think about it.
Before meeting Wes, he might have speculated, but after encountering that monster, he felt he could never surpass him.
His word was law.
When he said you had to undergo the Tribulation, you had to do it.
When he said he would erase you, you had to die.
How could you surpass that?
You used divine power!
Others were true gods.
The power you used was bestowed upon you by others.
Perhaps his vision was limited, and there should be a way to surpass, but it was definitely not in the Northern Spacetime.
Now, he did not dare to think about it anymore.
He only felt that Qishen was somewhat pitiful.
If he had not spied on the Origin Source of Spacetime, perhaps Qishen could have become a Universe Master of the Eighth Tribulation.
Then he could have gone to the upstream or upper-level spacetime, broadened his horizons, and maybe even obtained the Realm God Order, gone to the Realm God Continent, and still surpassed the Eighth Tribulation to reach the Ninth Tribulation.
Even if he couldn’t reach it, he could have become an eternal existence, first going to the Northern Spacetime to wait for the birth of the God of Life.
Why be so obsessed with spacetime, ending up splitting himself and falling?
Leaving behind so many disasters.
Qishen’s desire for life might have been even more persistent than Mie Sheng’s.
“Let’s go!”
After sighing, Jian Wushuang decided to leave.
This truth was within his expectations.
But it was also something he did not want to believe.
Qishen was most likely crippled by Mie Sheng.
What the shadow on the single-log bridge said back then might have been what Qishen said to Mie Sheng.
Zhen Ling’s hatred of the path of devouring originated from Qishen’s consciousness.
From the depths of his consciousness, he extremely hated devouring.
Then the three demon lords Qishen left behind.
Shan Jun, Gu Jun, and Mo Jun.
Were the evil incarnations of Qishen.
They also destroyed Qishen’s path of devouring.
The true spirit was so against it because of Qishen’s hatred!
“Wushuang, should we inform Wu Zuo?” Hu Qing hesitated, thinking if they told Wu Zuo their speculation, he might have a hard time accepting it!
Although Wu Zuo seemed somewhat shady and not like a good person, judging by his daily attire of a Daoist robe while shouting and killing, he was definitely not a good person.
But in his heart, he always held Qishen in high regard.
This was also Qishen’s charm.
So many people were willing to be buried with him.
Qishen definitely had extraordinary qualities.
Even if he was a villain, he had achieved the extreme.
Making everyone think he was a god!
“No need, it’s best if he doesn’t know about this. Let him wander here alone, while we head to the core. I happen to need some nian beast demon cores!” Jian Wushuang paused, then continued, “If you have nothing to do, you can join me!”
“Alright!” Hu Qing nodded in agreement.
He had nothing to do, and like Jian Wushuang, he came here to see how Qishen ultimately met his end.
In the vast scorched earth, the two left together.
Wutian didn’t think as much as Jian Wushuang and Hu Qing. Finding nothing in the scorched earth, he had already entered the core area.
Only Wuzuo stood alone before a pillar, silently wiping his tears.
That pillar was once the main pillar in a Dao Arena.
The Dao Arena naturally belonged to Qishen.
Thinking back to that time, he listened to Dao under this pillar.
Although he was only a registered disciple, after every lecture, Qishen would still send him a voice transmission, explaining anything he didn’t understand.
Now everything was gone.
At the peak of the Moro Spacetime.
Although the Universe Masters were the most respected.
Qishen Temple outwardly honored the Universe Masters, but internally, it revered the Emperors.
He cared deeply for every Emperor.
This was why Qishen had so many Emperors under his command, not Universe Masters.
The ones closest to Qishen were always those Emperors.
18 Divine Generals.
108 Divine Messengers.
And those disciples.
In the scorched earth, only Wu Zuo remained.
Jian Wushuang and the others had already entered the core of the Nianshen Secret Realm.
“A land of quicksand?”
Looking at the heaving quicksand before him, he found the place quite interesting.
In the quicksand, there were even some whirlpools.
