Chapter 170 - 155: Nineteen Gods Formed!

Chapter 170: Chapter 155: Nineteen Gods Formed!

WHOOSH!

Blood-red killing qi and saber light soared into the sky, swirling around the emotionless eyes of the tall, middle-aged man, Shif Xingyu. After Chen Sha smashed him into a rock with a single punch, Shif Xingyu simply pushed off the ground, raising his saber to the sky!

An extremely terrifying saber light completely dominated Chen Sha’s field of vision.

At the same time, the other two people in the valley—Fengl Xinglie and Shif Wen—suddenly launched their attacks at Chen Sha in unison.

Seeing this, Chen Sha immediately understood. These two clearly intended to willingly let Shif Xingyu kill them, hoping to push Shif Xingyu’s Slaughter Saber Skill to a flawless Heartless Realm.

He thought indifferently, "What a nest of Demons. None of them are normal!"

Chen Sha was completely unafraid. So what if all three attacked at once? With his current Realm, unless he came face-to-face with a Great Vajra, he wouldn’t fear any number of Great Innates of the same level.

He simply raised his fist.

BOOM!

Throwing a single arm upward, carrying a terrifying airflow like an explosive thunderclap, he completely shattered Shif Xingyu’s incoming saber light. The crystalline Sword Qi scattered wildly like snowflakes.

At the same time, a glow emerged from beneath Chen Sha’s ribs. An invisible Qi Power surged from the muscles and spine of his back, like a living dragon churning and roaring within his body. Even with his back turned to Fengl Xinglie and Shif Wen, an overwhelming, ocean-like force burst forth, sweeping toward them with the invisible momentum of toppling mountains and overturning seas.

BOOM! BOOM!

Between the two of them, only Fengl Xinglie—Shif Xingyu’s master—was a Great Innate. Shif Xingyu’s son was merely an ordinary Grandmaster Peak. Consequently, this shockwave of invisible, colossal force crashed into them like a tidal wave.

SPURT!

As a Grandmaster Peak, Shif Wen was instantly killed by the shockwave behind Chen Sha. Although the other Great Innate, Fengl Xinglie, didn’t die, his internal organs violently convulsed from the impact. Trembling wildly like parchment in the wind, he was sent flying backward.

He roared at the sky, "Just who are you to interfere with the affairs of my Seven Kills Demon Palace?!"

After throwing a punch to repel Shif Xingyu’s grand saber light, Chen Sha’s figure blurred. Like an arrow loosed from a Divine Bow, he shot from his spot toward Fengl Xinglie.

"Meaningless question," Chen Sha stated flatly.

This sudden burst of speed caused a sonic boom in the surrounding air, emitting an ear-piercing howl.

WHOOSH!

Before Fengl Xinglie could even regain his footing from Chen Sha’s counter-shock, a surging fist wind hit his face. A plump fist, as white as jade, formed a massive fist shadow directly before him.

BANG!

It smashed heavily into the chest of the Elder Innate, Fengl Xinglie. One punch completely pierced through him.

Fighting one against three, he had instantly killed two of them in the blink of an eye. It was the absolute epitome of clean and decisive.

With Chen Sha’s fist passing right through his chest, Fengl Xinglie’s dying gaze suddenly turned calm as he looked toward Shif Xingyu, the master of the Seven Kills Heartless Demon Saber.

"Huh?" Sensing something, Chen Sha felt that the killing intent radiating from Shif Xingyu, who was standing not far away, underwent a complete transformation after his master and son were killed.

HUM!

Shif Xingyu suddenly threw his head back, his black hair flying wildly. Almost no trace of human emotion could be seen in his eyes anymore. The power within his Sword Qi and killing qi abruptly multiplied several times over.

A wave of pressure crashed down, causing even Chen Sha to feel a sense of awe in his heart.

He analyzed internally, "So watching your own kin die right in front of you can also let you indirectly experience the state of mind of killing your master and your son. However, since you didn’t do it yourself, your state of mind is probably flawed."

Even though Shif Xingyu’s state of mind had suddenly become much purer after the deaths of these two people, Chen Sha didn’t panic in the slightest.

WHOOSH!

He merely withdrew his fist, took a step forward, and closed in on Shif Xingyu once again.

Shif Xingyu’s emotionless blood-red eyes stared intently at the approaching Chen Sha. He slowly raised the Blood Saber in his hand and held it horizontally. The invisible killing qi formed a raging tempest, sweeping across a distance of nearly twenty zhang within the Blood Valley.

The gravel, flora, and even the corpses on the ground were utterly crushed into powder beneath this oppressive killing qi. The bloody corpses instantly disintegrated under the terrifying impact, turning into a vast expanse of fleshy mud. The stench of blood filled the sky.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Beneath this saber strike, Chen Sha did not hear Shif Xingyu speak, but his spirit and mind seemed to feel that every natural entity between heaven and earth was influenced by this blow, echoing it with a spiritual resonance.

"A killing intent that disrupts the spirit. I didn’t expect that after completing the slaughter of his father, mother, wife, son, master, and friend, this saber strike would actually gain the ability to affect the spirit," Chen Sha thought. Even as the saber descended, thoughts flashed through Chen Sha’s mind as he analyzed whether there was an inevitable connection between a Spiritual Marvelous Skill and the Great Vajra Realm.

After all, looking at Sister Taie, the first Ascender of the Nine Tribulations Period, she had created a Spiritual Marvelous Skill—the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell—and similar Buddhist Sect methods. Now, he was witnessing a power that affected the spiritual level from Shif Xingyu, a Great Vajra of the Demon Sect from the Ninth Tribulation who had already undergone Ascension.

SLASH!

The saber struck down. Before the edge even arrived, the saber light and Sword Qi had already cleaved through everything in front of Chen Sha. Even tiny specks of dirt and dust seemed to be sliced in half by the Sword Qi.

Chen Sha’s clothes bore the brunt of it. Under this strike, they were shredded into tattered ribbons before dispersing around his Physique, unexpectedly leaving behind a series of bloody gashes on his body.

This was the Physique of the Sixteen Gods of the Great Yellow Court, yet it couldn’t even withstand the Sword Qi!

However, powered by the potent healing abilities of the Divine Demon Holy Blood, these gashes only appeared for the blink of an eye before automatically recovering.

Throughout this process, Chen Sha thrust out a punch. He extended his palm and fingers, cycling through motions like plucking the petals of a Lotus, ultimately forming a Fist Seal. The Fist Seal shifted again, changing into nearly two hundred variations in a split second.

Every single variation was a peerless Martial Art. Nearly half of them were the Buddhist Martial Arts he had just acquired, intermingled with numerous variations of Buddhist Hand Seals and Palm Techniques. Finally, his five fingers closed, suddenly clenching tightly into a fist, as if he were grasping the essence of all the Martial Arts in the world within the palm of his hand.

BOOM!!

A terrifying sound that seemed to make the very void tremble suddenly rang out within the spacious Blood Valley.

BANG!

Fist and saber clashed!

CLANG!

A distinct fist imprint was stamped firmly onto the flat of the Divine Weapon Level Seven Kills Blood Saber. This was immediately followed by a torrential storm of plunging Fist Seals, one punch overpowering the next... until the entire Blood Valley was completely engulfed by massive fist shadows!

It took hardly any time at all. Under Chen Sha’s invincible Fist Technique, the Divine Weapon Level Blood Saber was quickly battered until its edge curled, before shattering into seven or eight pieces in midair!

BANG!

Chen Sha drove his fist straight in like a bridge spanning the sky. With lightning speed, he pierced through the scattering blade fragments and smashed directly into Shif Xingyu’s chest. He pulverized the Protective Killing Qi shielding his chest and struck right at his heart!

"COUGH COUGH..."

Shif Xingyu took the punch to the front of his chest, but a mist of blood abruptly exploded from his back. It was as if this punch had completely penetrated through his heart, the Fist Power carrying the blood mist and spraying it directly out from his back.

"Congratulations, Sect Leader, for successfully clearing Shif Xingyu’s third stage ’No More to Kill’, and unlocking the fourth stage ’Sword Shatters Void’..."

"The items dropped in this scene include: [Shif Wen’s Twenty Years of Power], [Fengl Xinglie’s Forty Years of Power], [Shif Xingyu’s Complete Seven Kills Heartless Saber Secret Manual], and a Cosmic Light Fragment..."

The scenery within the Cosmic Light Fragments, accompanied by these words cascading down from the Southern Heavenly Gate, transformed into a realm of pure white nothingness.

WHOOSH.

Standing in the white space, Chen Sha exhaled a breath, "This battle was arguably the easiest fight against a Peak Great Innate Level opponent in a very long time."

This was unlike his encounters with Dugu Qiubai and Bu Feiqing. Back then, Chen Sha’s Realm couldn’t completely overwhelm them. He had to rely on his formidable Physique and profound Power to wear them down in prolonged, grueling battles.

But now that Chen Sha’s Realm, constitution, and every other aspect had advanced by a massive margin, there were perhaps only one or two people left in the Divine Land World who could be considered his equals.

Although Shif Xingyu later underwent Ascension to become a Great Vajra Level expert, when comparing them at the same tier, Chen Sha now possessed the strength to effortlessly defeat him. In other words, with Chen Sha’s current foundation, if he eventually reached the Great Vajra Realm in the future, he would undoubtedly be a dominant force within the Great Vajra Realm, wielding a strength unmatched by anyone at the same tier.

In Yuanjing, at the Mu Hongfu residence.

Chen Sha recovered his Heart Spirit in the quiet room. Looking over his spoils, clearing the three stages had rewarded him with a total of eighty years of Inner Strength, alongside a Great Innate Level Demon Skill Saber Manual designed to make one Emotionless and Thoughtless. In addition to these, there was a Treasure Saber and a Seven Saints Pill.

Looking at the Seven Saints Pill, he muttered, "I could probably hand this pill over to Senior Brother Chang Xi to study..."

After so much time, Chen Sha understood that nothing dropped from the Cosmic Light Fragments was of poor quality. He set the pill aside for now.

Chen Sha’s purpose in entering the Cosmic Light Fragments for this trial was to obtain the Power rewards and master his newly acquired Three Gods Training Method in the shortest time possible.

GULP.

He swallowed the three clusters of airflow in a single breath.

This was a method he had never attempted before. With eighty years of Power surging into his body at once, any other Great Innate would have instantly exploded and died. If not for Chen Sha’s current Physique and the protection of his two hundred years of Power, he would have met the same fate.

"Navel Chakra..."

"Sutra of Marrow Cleansing..."

Immediately, these two supreme Buddhist Sect Cultivation Techniques simultaneously circulated within Chen Sha’s body. Under the dominion of the Great Yellow Court, they did not conflict with each other in the slightest. The eighty years of Inner Strength served as fuel, igniting and nurturing the growth of the Power for both the Sutra of Marrow Cleansing and the Navel Chakra.

One day passed...

Two days passed...

These three regions slowly began to bloom with divine radiance.

Five days... Seven days...

Finally, on the fifteenth day.

BOOM!

Two beams of divine light manifested directly inside Chen Sha’s large and small intestines.

One was the Large Intestine God Zhao Tengkang, a yellow divine light two inches and one fen long. The other was the Small Intestine God Peng Songliu, a yellowish-red divine light two inches and three fen long.

At the same time, the Sutra of Marrow Cleansing also achieved Great Success. It had absorbed forty years of Power from the eighty years of Power to facilitate its breakthrough to Great Success.

GULP... GULP...

Chen Sha felt that the Marrow Spirit Cover had also been fully cultivated. However, this Divine Spirit lacked a fixed abode. It wandered through Chen Sha’s bloodstream as a beam of white divine light. As it coursed through his blood and marrow, Chen Sha instantly sensed his blood growing as thick and heavy as mercury, and faint traces of silver frost even began to appear on his marrow. This was the hallmark of the Great Success stage: "Refining marrow into frost, refining blood into mercury."

A moment later, Chen Sha circulated the Great Yellow Court. Beams of divine light surged outward from his body one after another. A full Nineteen Gods surrounded Chen Sha, paying homage to him like the pantheon of the Celestial Realm.

An aura of Divine Power, as vast as an ocean and as deep as a purgatory, naturally emanated from Chen Sha’s body.

"The Nineteen Gods have achieved Great Success. Now, I am only missing the Left Yang Spirit Fu Liuqi, the Right Yin Spirit Bao Mingbiao, the Body God Shou Houbo, the Gallbladder God Long Deju, and the Spleen God Bao Wuquan. Then my Great Yellow Court will achieve Great Success and Perfection, reaching the same Realm as my father, Chen Canxuan." Chen Sha slowly stood up. "Moreover, the Realm of the Nineteen Gods gives me complete confidence and absolute certainty in defeating the Third Pang Saint."

However, to his surprise, as soon as he stepped out of his secluded cultivation room, he saw everyone waiting for him. He was then informed that Long Zaitian had invited him to a battle at Copper Mountain.

"Long Zaitian? Copper Mountain, in a month?" Chen Sha asked.

"It’s no longer a month," Chang Xi replied. "You’ve been in seclusion for nearly twenty days. It’s ten days from now. This timeframe gives us just enough time to travel to Copper Mountain."
