Chapter 593 - 513: Celestial Monarch of the Ultimate Sword

Chapter 593: Chapter 513: Celestial Monarch of the Ultimate Sword

The cultivators of the Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain were right, they truly had no escape.

The effective range of the Corrupted Nascent Soul covered the entire Great World, and no one could escape.

As for those high tier cultivators who wanted to resist?

From the moment their power was drained by the Corrupted Nascent Soul, they had no room for resistance.

The black mud stored in the Tribulation Moon Pearl, under Su Yuan’s control, poured out, transforming into countless pitch-black tentacles that blotted out the sky, continuously striking down the resistance of the high tier cultivators.

After Su Yuan had reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, the black mud under his command underwent a certain mutation. No longer purely black, it now reflected a kaleidoscope of colors under the illumination of light.

This indicated that his black mud had undergone a transformation, becoming closer to that used by the Decaying Celestial Monarch.

With such divine techniques at hand, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators simply couldn’t approach Su Yuan.

As time flowed on, the once turbulent Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain gradually fell into dead silence.

Apart from the rustling of the wind, there was no sound in this Great World.

"Master, Xiaofu is already full, would you like to use the power harvested this time to elevate your cultivation?"

Su Yuan thought for a moment and said:

"Let’s raise my cultivation by one level first, and you also level up a bit, keep the rest stored for now."

"I will advance further once I’ve assimilated this increase in realm."

Xiaofu nodded, burrowing into Su Yuan’s dantian.

The next second, abundant and pure spiritual power and flesh and blood power poured into Su Yuan’s body, significantly enhancing his cultivation realm and physical body strength.

The color of the black mud surrounding him also became more brilliant.

The Mixed Element Nascent Soul officially broke through to the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul, and the Corrupted Nascent Soul reached equal height to the former.

Subsequently, Su Yuan also scoured the scattered Primordial Essence in the Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain and rapidly refined it.

The amount of Primordial Essence in this realm was somewhat less than Su Yuan had expected, only enough to elevate the Mixed Element Nascent Soul to the eighth layer, still a bit short of the Nascent Soul Peak.

It seems that the replacement of the people of the Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain with shadows occurred quite an early time ago, at least over three hundred years.

However, it didn’t matter much, as they would soon hunt down the Divinity Transformation cultivators replaced by the Abyssal Shadow. Accounting for the Primordial Essence contained within those Divinity Transformation shadows, it should suffice.

Finally, Su Yuan thoroughly searched the Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain. After confirming there were no stragglers, he returned to An Xingran and the others.

At this moment, the Spirit Medicine Fairy’s gaze toward Su Yuan was very complicated.

This boy kills without any hesitation at all. Those unaware would think he was a demon who took pleasure in killing.

During Su Yuan’s actions, the Spirit Medicine Fairy even suspected that Su Yuan might be lying.

The people of the Spirit Medicine Cyan Domain might be living humans. Perhaps Su Yuan wanted to kill, that’s why he deceived himself.

But being a creation of Su Yuan himself, the Abyssal Shadow that is, the Spirit Medicine Fairy could clearly feel the skyrocketing Primordial Essence within Su Yuan, which dispelled her doubts.

"Let’s head out, after taking care of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity’s minions, we still have more important matters to attend to."

Su Yuan understood the Spirit Medicine Fairy’s poor mood and said nothing superfluous,

The Spirit Medicine Fairy nodded slightly, leading the way for Su Yuan and his companions.

On the way, Su Yuan took a moment to appraise the effects of the Fallen God Pill.

[Fallen God Pill: Can be turned into poisonous mist, used as iron pills to hit people, or ingested. Regardless of the method, it can bring death to cultivators of Divinity Transformation level and below.]

After reading the effects of the elixir, Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

This poisonous pill, though called an elixir, is more akin to a one-time malicious magical treasure, capable of poisoning even a Divinity Transformation cultivator caught off guard.

Additionally, it’s a double-edged sword. In its unactivated state, it’s harmless, but once activated, if the user is without the corresponding antidote, they will fall prey to the pill’s attack.

Su Yuan carefully placed it into his storage magical treasure, planning to wait until the Spirit Medicine Fairy concocted an antidote before using it.

After speeding ahead for ten hours, a solitary dead star appeared in Su Yuan’s view.

Through the Divinity Transformation distribution star map, Su Yuan could clearly see that a Divinity Transformation resided on that dead star.

Or more accurately, a Divinity Transformation level Abyssal Shadow that had replaced the original owner.

"Living in solitary cultivation on this dead star is one of the thirty-six Divinity Transformations of the Human Race from my era, the Extreme Sword Celestial Monarch."

The Spirit Medicine Fairy looked at Shen Zhou, speaking in a deep voice:

"She, like you, is an adept in the Sword Dao, a prominent figure in combat among the thirty-six Divinity Transformations."

"Ten thousand years ago, she was at the forefront in the battle against the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, nearly forcing the opponent’s true body to act, resulting in her being turned into a shadow by them."

"And because the Extreme Sword Celestial Monarch was extremely unstable, the Venerable erased all her memories to control her better, leaving only her instinct for sword practice and battle."

"Extreme Sword... so it was her."

Gui Yuan seemed to recall some past time, a slight hint of sorrow decorating her delicate face.

The time of the Extreme Sword Celestial Monarch’s fall was early, even before Gui Yuan entered the Secret Realm and fell into a comatose state.

Her shadow never appeared on the battlefield ten thousand years ago, and Gui Yuan had thought she had completely perished, not expecting to encounter her on the road to hunting Divinity Transformations.

Compared to the Spirit Medicine Fairy who could still be turned into a shadow, the only option for dealing with the Extreme Sword Celestial Monarch was to kill her completely.

Soon to personally slay an old acquaintance, even if only their shadow, Gui Yuan could not help but feel melancholy.

"The strength of this Ancient Divinity Transformation sounds formidable, it seems we need to go together to quickly resolve her."

An Xingran suggested as he stroked his chin.

But at this moment, the Evil Extermination Sword Master, Shen Zhou, firmly shook his head, speaking in a deep voice:

"For such a respectable strong opponent, I believe we should not defeat her by numbers."

"Since she and I are both sword cultivators, we should let our swords do the talking, none of you interfere in this battle, I’ll handle this personally."

As soon as those words fell, Shen Zhou, ignoring others’ opinions, carrying three Painful Swords, headed directly toward the solitary dead star.

Seeing this scene, Su Yuan was deeply moved.

Senior Shen, well done! We sword cultivators should carry ourselves this way!

Though your appearance with the Painful Sword and attire seems quite otaku, one must admit, at this moment, you are truly a strong force in the Sword Dao.

After Shen Zhou landed on the dead star, within just breaths, two soaring Sword Intents suddenly surged up.

The dead star, which appeared about twice the size of the moon, with a metallic sheen, was shredded by the two sword masters in the blink of an eye.

Chunks of the dead star, sliced into palm-sized fragments, began hurtling towards Su Yuan and the others like missiles.

Gui Yuan softly issued a decree, isolating all residual battle waves outside, allowing Su Yuan to focus seriously on observing the fight.
