Chapter 2441: Chapter 2442: Twelve Tribulations Techniques Complete! Second Update

Hm?

The sudden appearance of the sealed steles caused astonishment and perplexity among the divine race.

The divine race had never understood the three sealed steles. As they found nothing of interest, they had discarded them as waste. However, now that the steles were suspended in midair, everyone realized they might not be so simple.

Swish.

Some of the divine race wanted to seize the sealed steles, as they couldn’t let Ye Qiu benefit.

But just as this strong member of the divine race reached out, a sudden flash of light cut off his arm instantly.

Splash...

Blood gushed out, and the strong divine race member stared at the woman who had attacked him. After a while, he didn’t dare to act and held back.

A Taoist Lord-level expert, yet the woman merely flicked her finger to cause harm. Everyone around, including the Supreme and even the strongest elder of the Creation Realm, couldn’t help but have their hearts skip a beat.

Ye Qiu was startled by the display of the woman’s slight power. However, the stronger the woman’s power, the more advantageous it was for him, as the divine race strongmen wouldn’t dare to attack him.

All three sealed steles hung before Ye Qiu without external interference, allowing him to comprehend the twelve Fated Calamities and swiftly master them.

Placing his palm on them, Ye Qiu closed his eyes, and the techniques of the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth calamities entered his mind.

The twelve Fated Calamities were finally completed at this moment.

Ye Qiu immersed himself in the techniques of the twelve Fated Calamities, and a primal aura began to emanate from his body, causing the divine race members to frown repeatedly.

Meanwhile, the change in Ye Qiu’s aura caught the mysterious woman’s eye, a hint of surprise flashing across her gaze.

It was evident how extraordinary the twelve Fated Calamities were.

"He seems to be cultivating. What is that massive stele? Could there be secrets within?"

"It must be a good thing. Ye Fentian came here; he must be after these three steles, right?"

Ye Qiu’s state attracted many discussions. Anyone could see now that the three steles were not ordinary, and Ye Qiu surely gained benefits from them. Yet, who exactly was unclear, as even the divine race hadn’t deciphered the steles.

Ye Qiu was seemingly enhancing his strength in front of everyone. Many experts from the Eastern and Southern Wilds saw this and knew it was due to the mysterious woman’s presence, preventing the divine race from acting lightly. Some thought Ye Qiu should speak up and ask the woman to act, not waste this golden opportunity. If he spoke, the mysterious powerful woman would surely attack the divine race.

Some thought Ye Qiu was foolish; others thought he had his own ideas and didn’t want to use others.

Time slowly passed, half a stick of incense’s duration—not too long, nor too short.

During this time, the Star River Master’s avatar reappeared, stopping nearby and standing with Pu Zhen.

Regarding the mysterious woman’s identity, even the Star River Master couldn’t perceive it, only vaguely sensing her terrifying nature, leaving Pu Zhen deeply shocked.

"I thought only I and the divine race were the strongest in this universe, but I didn’t expect there to be someone beyond us, and more beyond the heavens. Truly, I must not underestimate the world," the Star River Master lamented.

With the Star River Master’s strength, he surely had the right to say so, after all, he was an ancient monster alive for thousands of years.

"Master, can this person help you escape the cosmic abyss?" Pu Zhen asked.

The Star River Master was uncertain but had eighty percent confidence: "This person’s strength is difficult for even me to see through, and their lowest strength must be at the Creation level. And they’re not an ordinary Creation expert—possibly stronger, or even at a higher level."

"If she acts, there’s indeed a great chance for me to escape the cosmic abyss."

"Then I’ll go beseech her, asking her to help you escape," Pu Zhen wanted to plead with the mysterious woman.

"Absolutely not!" The Star River Master quickly stopped him: "This person is an unparalleled expert, concerned with cause and effect. We have no causal relationship, so she won’t act. If you rashly approach, you might anger her, and if she becomes an assassin, no one can stop her."

"I believe in your junior disciple; he will eventually reach the Creation Realm, and then I can leave the dark, shadowy underground world," the Star River Master slowly said, placing all his hopes on Ye Qiu.

"It’s my incompetence. I haven’t reached Creation; otherwise, you wouldn’t have had to wait so long, Master," Pu Zhen bowed his head.

"Breaking through the martial art realm can’t be forced, so I don’t blame you," the Star River Master replied.

While the Star River Master and Pu Zhen, the teacher-disciple pair, spoke, all the divine race experts were staring intently at Ye Qiu, simultaneously calculating when half a stick of incense’s duration would end—when they would act the moment it finished.

Just as half a stick of incense neared its end, Ye Qiu opened his eyes.

His face was filled with uncontrolled excitement. The techniques of the twelve Fated Calamities had finally all been mastered, each one complete with no omissions.

Having mastered all the twelve Fated Calamities techniques, Ye Qiu’s face was brimming with confidence. Even if his opponents were the divine race, a group with many strong members, he showed no sign of fear, for he believed that now, he could fight any opponent.

"Half a stick of incense has passed; the good karma you accrued before has been repaid," the mysterious woman said to Ye Qiu indifferently.

The giant turtle also spoke: "I’m leaving now; I hope we meet again."

"Thank you."

Ye Qiu didn’t say much, cupped his fists towards the mysterious woman, and smiled at Gu Tian beside her, watching them leave.

The mysterious woman left, and without her suppression, the divine race strongmen surrounded Ye Qiu once again.

"What secrets lie within the stele? Share them with us, and we’ll allow you a quick death."

With the mysterious woman present, the divine race didn’t dare harm Ye Qiu, but now she’s gone, they have no qualms about Ye Qiu.

As in terms of both numbers and realm, they overwhelmed Ye Qiu.

Facing the divine race’s questioning, Ye Qiu just smiled slightly: "I should thank your divine race for guarding my sealed steles for so long."

"Hmph, are you mocking my divine race?" Ye Qiu’s words fell harshly on divine race ears, as he knew the secrets of what they hadn’t deciphered.

"You killed our divine race members and openly took what’s ours; if you don’t submit to justice, you won’t be tolerated by heaven and earth. Quickly reveal the stele’s secrets, and we might let you die swiftly. Otherwise..."

"You’ll wish for life but find death unattainable."

All the divine race experts laughed coldly, their killing intent surging towards Ye Qiu.

"I intended not to hold a grudge against you for safeguarding the sealed steles for me. But since you wish to seek death, I shall grant it," Ye Qiu’s body surged with fierce killing intent.

And thus, the battle reignited.
