Chapter 529 - 318: Heaven and Earth as a Furnace, Living Beings as Material, Innate Treasures Can Be Forged (Part 2)

"The Nine Heavens Guide has been activated," the Silver-haired Elder murmured.

"I wonder if it’s that boy," Old Man Shi set down his axe, eyes burning with intensity.

"Among those who managed to open that golden door and enter the Imperial Mausoleum, that boy has the highest likelihood," the Silver-haired Elder said.

"Indeed," Elder Shi said solemnly, "But I wonder if this boy can pass the test."

"Destruction True Intent is not so easily comprehended, even just the basics, it requires purposeful guidance, yet non-geniuses find it extremely challenging to grasp," the Silver-haired Elder remarked with gravity, "That boy appears to have good talent; perhaps he can comprehend Destruction True Intent within a year."

"A year..." Old Man Shi’s gaze shifted, "It would be great if he could comprehend it in half a year."

"Several months ago, the Eighth Realm accepted a prodigious talent, who grasped True Intent in merely three months and broke through the True Intent Space."

"Three months?" The Silver-haired Elder shook her head, "Such astonishing talents, you and I better not waste time thinking about that."

"The Ninth Realm has only been established shortly, if we can find a sapling in half a year, it’s already quite good. If it’s barely within a year, we can still accept it. As for three months, stars in the alliance don’t have many people to compare; let’s simply imagine rather than hope."

"Yes..." Old Man Shi chuckled with a sigh, "Someone who can comprehend Destruction True Intent in three months, as long as they don’t die prematurely, is destined to become a cornerstone of our Nine Heavens Alliance, truly a rarity."

"We’ll just have to see. The Ninth Realm currently has few disciples. If this boy can comprehend Destruction True Intent within a year, I’ll accept him as a registered disciple."

"...."

...

Yan Imperial Mausoleum, Underground Palace.

Dressed in black, Chu Ming gazed at the Void Space, his brow slightly furrowed.

"It seems to be an illusion realm..."

The Void Space emanated mysterious vibes everywhere, along with an inexplicable pressure and sense of dread.

He knew that this place was anything but simple.

Without hesitation, the Qi Rhythm White Light from the Book and Painting Realm spread out.

Crash!

Within three meters, he was in command, the illusion realm shattered like a mirror, outside the mirror was a palace.

"It was indeed an illusion realm."

Chu Ming’s heart was filled with joy; the power of the Book and Painting Realm was even more impressive than he anticipated; it possesses the effect of discerning falsehood.

Stepping out, preparing to leave the Void Space, a black figure suddenly appeared.

"Defeat me, and you may leave," the black-clad figure said emotionlessly, holding a black sword.

Without waiting for Chu Ming to respond, the black sword fiercely struck out.

In an instant, the entire Void Space seemed as if it would be annihilated by that one sword.

Chu Ming’s eyes instantly condensed light, and he swiftly sidestepped.

If he hadn’t dodged, he would have been gravely wounded, if not killed.

He flew several dozen meters away, focusing intently on the black-clad figure as memories of that sword flashed through his mind.

It appeared to be a simple, ordinary sword without techniques, nor did it have any Qi Blood fluctuations and support; why did it possess such terrifying force?

Pondering over it, the black-clad figure’s second sword descended, still an unremarkable strike, yet accompanied by a horrifying pressure akin to destroying everything.

Dodging swiftly, as the black sword struck down, the space where he had just stood showed cracks.

One strike, actually pierced through space!

Chu Ming gazed at the shrouded fracture, his pupils tightening.

The four great lakes of the Sea of Consciousness boiled, the white Primordial Qi of the expanded Sea of Consciousness space was turbulent, even the Sea of Consciousness’s Firmament evolved by the Star Golden List was stirred as if some anomaly was about to occur.

Crash....

The waters of the Book collection, Mountain and Sea, Qi Blood, and Primordial Qi four great lakes simultaneously surged, directly into the firmament.

Above the firmament, the waters of the four lakes intertwined, converging into a human form.

That person was identical to Chu Ming.

Swoosh!

The water human raised its right hand, the lake water coalesced into a weapon identical to the Golden Light Dragon Slayer Saber.

Hand fell, blade cut, firmament shattered.

Buzz!

The Sea of Consciousness vibrated, Chu Ming abruptly awoke.

The black-clad figure’s third sword came rolling in.

This time, Chu Ming neither dodged nor turned away, a smile appeared on his face.

With a flip of the hand, he pulled out the saber.

Hand fell, blade cut.

A single slash, without inciting Qi Blood, without techniques, an unremarkable slash.

Boom!

Blade and sword collided, space trembled, up and down, left and right, everywhere showed cracks.

Meanwhile, at the foot of Yan Mountain, Rock Concealment Village.

"Hmm?" Old Man Shi’s face changed abruptly.

"True Intent Space..." The Silver-haired Elder’s hand stitching halted.

"Didn’t it seem like it was about to collapse just now?" Old Man Shi asked in awe.

"I also sensed it."

"How long has it been?"

"Less than a day..."

"Shaking the Destruction Space in one day, doesn’t it mean, this boy might emerge from the Destruction Space in another three to five days?"

"Three to five days to entry-level Destruction True Intent?"

"This..." Old Man Shi stepped out hurriedly, seemingly intent on going to Yan Mountain.

"Old Shi," the Silver-haired Elder stopped Old Man Shi, "Do not act rashly. Whether this boy is a millennium-sought prodigy, will become evident in three to five days."

"...."

...

Yan Imperial Mausoleum, underground palace.

At this moment, Chu Ming appeared as if within a world of mirrors, and his slash nearly shattered this mirrored world.

Facing him, above the void, the black-clad figure paused. Upon seeing that slash, his usually expressionless face revealed astonishment.

But it was only a momentary expression, the fourth and fifth sword strikes fiercely falling.

It seemed, because Chu Ming had comprehended Destruction True Intent, the black-clad figure intentionally enhanced the force behind the sword strikes.

The sword strikes coming one after another expanded rapidly within those deep eyes.

Chu Ming remained calm, the Golden Light Dragon Slayer Saber in his hand swung two slashes consecutively.

Boom! Boom!

The Void Space trembled again, the already precarious mirrored space developed more cracks.

Looking at the situation, even one more slash would completely collapse this Void Space.

Outside, at the foot of Yan Mountain, Rock Concealment Village.

"Entry-level! It’s definitely True Intent Entry-level Destruction!"
