Chapter 356 - 354: The Great War Against the Greed Realm

Chapter 356: Chapter 354: The Great War Against the Greed Realm

Gone.

Everything was gone.

By the time Su Qing arrived, the entire Spirit Realm seemed to have vanished.

Su Qing stared blankly at the scene of utter devastation around him.

Qingsu Island was gone. The Immortal Realm had manifested, but only a withered trunk remained, covered in marks left by devouring insects.

At this moment, the grief in Su Qing’s heart was beyond description, an emotion that transcended mere sorrow.

But the Greed Realm had no intention of letting Su Qing go.

From its colossal, colorful maw, a terrifying Devouring Power emerged.

Su Qing had already let his God Demon Devouring Universe Map take control of all his thoughts.

His eyes were perfectly calm, but Su Qing was bent on revenge.

The giant insect in his sights.

Su Qing was going to kill it.

"Hundred Thousand Sword Body."

One hundred thousand Profound Qi Swords suddenly appeared.

"Gigantification."

At the same time, they all transformed into enormous greatswords.

The Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect turned Su Qing into an 80,000-zhang-tall giant.

"World-Purifying Immortal Technique."

"Primordial Dao Field."

"Micro Acupoint Great World Manifestation."

"Great Dao Wheel."

"God Demon Flipping Immortal Seal."

"Devour All Creation, Power of Space-Time!"

Against such a colossal existence, Su Qing’s Power of Time was almost negligible; he couldn’t even envelop the creature with it.

Within Su Qing’s Primordial Dao Field, augmented by his Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect and the World-Purifying Immortal Technique, a brilliant white light continuously radiated outwards.

"Great Dao Swordsmanship!"

A single sword strike could overturn heaven and earth and topple the cosmos.

Although it was still like an ant trying to shake an elephant.

But Su Qing’s sword was no ordinary sword, and his techniques were no ordinary techniques.

Wherever it passed, it cut through all obstacles as if they were rotten wood—from the colossal maw to the terrifying insect swarms.

With the World-Purifying Immortal Light active, all of his Micro Acupoint Great Worlds began to operate their Divine Technique: the Great Dao Wheel.

All of these techniques countered the insects and suppressed their power.

Su Qing’s sword pierced its armor directly, and his Swordsmanship carved a massive gash into the giant insect. He had sheared off its enormous maw.

This wound made the Greed Realm finally notice the ant.

Immediately after, an even more terrifying swarm of insects descended, bringing with it an even more horrifying Devouring Power.

It clashed with Su Qing’s Divine Technique, the Great Dao Wheel.

Even with the empowerment of his Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect, with all his Micro Acupoints manifested, Su Qing was merely one-millionth the size of the entire Greed Realm.

This was the most terrifying thing about the Greed Realm.

Sometimes, size equals strength. Sometimes, becoming an immeasurably vast existence also means becoming an unknowable one.

The Greed Realm was truly terrifying.

But not as terrifying as Su Qing.

The World-Purifying Immortal Technique was Su Qing’s method for contending with the Greed Realm.

None of the damage it sustained would heal. This was because the World-Purifying Immortal Technique made the wounded areas forget everything—even how to repair themselves.

A great battle erupted.

The nearby regions of the Cosmos trembled from the force of their fight, and Space itself grew searing hot.

Even when the Greed Realm used a Soul Attack, it only struck his Dharma Aspect. Su Qing himself was unharmed. As long as his Dharma Aspect was not destroyed, he was essentially immune to soul damage.

It could not destroy Su Qing’s Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect.

The Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect only lasted for an hour before Su Qing’s Magical Power was depleted.

The efficiency of his slaughter slowed.

But in that instant, Su Qing was hit by a spiritual shockwave.

It was the howl of the Greed Realm.

All the insects that made up the Greed Realm were howling incessantly.

The spiritual assaults stacked one upon another, amplified by the countless souls the Greed Realm had devoured over an unknown length of time.

It was an all-out assault on Su Qing’s soul.

Su Qing’s Immortal Soul was protected by the Soul Protection Technique, an Array Plate, and aided by the God Demon Devouring Universe Map.

Even with all that, he could not resist. His spiritual defenses shattered in an instant, and his Immortal Soul sustained over ninety-five percent damage.

’This isn’t good!’

’Xiaoqing’s Inference was right after all.’

’I have to escape!’

Tens of thousands of domains appeared around him, and Su Qing vanished into one. This was the effect of his Void Nether Dao Body.

It scrambled Space, allowing him to tear a new rift and flee the area.

...

But after fleeing for a while, he emerged from a spatial rift into the Star Sea.

Su Qing floated in the Star Sea and fell into a deep sleep.

Just before he lost consciousness, Su Qing did not forget to deal with the Earth Great Immortal inside him.

Meanwhile, the Greed Realm, unable to find Su Qing, went on a rampage. It vented its fury by furiously devouring all surrounding power for nearly a month, even absorbing the Power of Space itself.

Six months later, the Greed Realm reluctantly devoured the intertwined will and Rules of the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm. It had been too severely damaged this time.

There was one spot on its body that it still couldn’t repair.

...

...

An unknown amount of time passed.

「Jianmu Omniscience Institute.」

A vessel resembling a small Starship appeared.

Two people emerged into the Star Sea and carried Su Qing back into the Starship. This region of the Star Sea was a place devoid of any source of life.

Su Qing was placed under a scanner.

"A complete body. Soul damage: 99%."

"Energy Coefficient: Ordinary Level 1? No way."

"Looks like another ancestor who escaped from the ancestral land. He’s lucky; with 99% soul damage, he’ll probably just have amnesia."

"The Energy Coefficient detector must be broken. We’ll have to report it later."

"Alright, alright, the Director told us to rescue these ancestors. This guy is worth 100,000 All-Knowing Coins. Look on the bright side. Even if we have to replace the detector, it’s only about 5,000 All-Knowing Coins."

"True. If we found a completely unharmed ancestor, that’d be 500,000. I get excited just thinking about it."

His teammate joked, "Keep dreaming. You might as well say we found the ancestor from the ancestral land who fought the Greed Realm for a whole hour. The footage of that battle in the Star Sea is the hottest video in the All-Knowing Institute right now."

"Find him, and we’d be rich. A full one hundred million All-Knowing Coins."

"Fuck you! What I said was at least realistic. Yours is just pure fantasy," his teammate complained, a bit annoyed.

"Old Qiang, why do you have such a potty mouth?"

"Because I like it," the man called Old Qiang said proudly.

"Ha, that’s why Weiwei can’t stand you. You’ll never get a wife."

That hit a nerve. Old Qiang exploded, "Old Jiang, fuck you! FUCK YOU!"

"..." Old Jiang just smiled playfully without a word. He loved seeing Old Qiang get all flustered and angry.

But they didn’t know that a fortune of unimaginable proportions had truly fallen right into their laps.

They didn’t know, and neither did the All-Knowing Institute.

Only Su Qing, deep in his slumber and repairing the damage to his soul, memorized their names.

...

...

"Assistant, here are the ancestors we’ve collected."

"Among them, this ancestor has the lightest injuries."

"Well done."

"Soul damaged, body damaged... 50,000 All-Knowing Coins each. You have five here. These ancestors can only be sent for reincarnation for now. This one... complete body, 99% soul damage?"

"Energy Level: Ordinary Level?"

"Huh?"

"How is that possible? Is the instrument broken?" The assistant, a woman with a lovely face, ran the check a few more times on the device. There were no issues.

It wasn’t broken?

How could such a weak ancestor survive in the Star Sea?

She took out another instrument.

The instrument detected that this ancestor was madly absorbing the surrounding ambient Energy, but once it entered his body, there were no Energy fluctuations whatsoever.

"A powerful ancestor!"

"This is a powerful ancestor! Jiang Ming, Zhao Ziqiang, for this body, I’ll count it as a Level One powerful ancestor. 300,000 All-Knowing Coins."

"Really? Our Luck is incredible!" Jiang Ming said happily, quickly reaching for a cigarette to celebrate.

But as he brought it to his lips, he saw the assistant glaring at him.

Uh...

’Guess I won’t smoke, then.’

A man’s simple pleasure, snatched away just like that.

Zhao Ziqiang was even happier. "Heh, this time, I can definitely take Weiwei to the coast for a few days’ vacation."

"Old Qiang, don’t always be thinking about Weiwei," Old Jiang said, exasperated with his friend’s lack of self-respect. As a friend, he found Old Qiang’s behavior too much like a simp’s.

"You don’t know shit," Old Qiang retorted.

The assistant couldn’t help but smile. These were all hired experts, powerful individuals on the Dao Path.

At the very least, they were experts who had reached around the Five Steps of the Dao Path.

Watching them bicker, she was actually a little surprised.
