Chapter 1772: How Great Yueshen Used to Be
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A Sun-moon Crystal Coffin flew out of Yueshen’s sleeve, dividing the sky above and the earth below into two distinct poles.
The sky above the coffin was pitch-dark all over with only a soft glow that marked the moon. Meanwhile, the earth below the coffin was dazzlingly bright with a sun that burned like the fire in a divine furnace.
It looked as if Heaven and Earth had flipped upside down.
The Sun-moon Crystal Coffin flew straight at Bloodlord Sijia with such a powerful momentum that it tore apart the patterns surrounding his body before it forcefully hit him.
Awoo!
Bloodlord Sijia let out a howl that shook the sky and simultaneously raised his body as he grew and turned into a 1,800-meter-tall giant demon.
Boom!
It struck its target.
The blood sea that stretched out thousands of square miles under Bloodlord Sijia’s feet immediately broke apart.
The impact from the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin broke Bloodlord Sijia’s arms before it hit him straight in his chest. Divine blood spurted out of his mouth as the force sent him flying back as far as thirty thousand miles.
Following that, the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin penetrated his chest and flew out of his back. It was horrifying.
Be they the Supreme Saints or gods, the jaws of the cultivators who were looking at Mount Yueshen dropped to the ground. They all felt a chill travel up their spines even though they were a great distance away.
Yueshen had hit an ancient god and sent him flying thirty thousand miles back.
The blow left behind a large hole in Bloodlord Sijia’s chest, and his divine body was covered in cracks. The divine blood that oozed out of his body covered the entire thirty-thousand-mile stretch. Each drop of blood impacted the earth, creating bloody craters that were a dozen miles across.
It was as if a group of asteroids had hit the earth.
The flying dragon, which was hauling the chariot, was too close to Bloodlord Sijia. It could not escape in time and became a dead dragon after it got hit by the shock wave from the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin.
The seven-hundred-mile-long dragon carcass fell to the earth. The land shook violently, and clouds of dust rose into the air as it impacted the earth.
“Well done, Yueshen! The Heavenly Realm has learned its lesson today!”
“Yueshen lives up to her reputation as the Guanghan Realm’s guardian god. I am proud of being one of its residents.”
…
Far away in the Guanghan Realm, the cultivators were all emotional as the humiliation that they had suffered for the past hundred thousand years had been avenged.
They had been forced to endure shame for the past hundred thousand years without Yueshen. The cultivators went down on their knees, bowing before Yueshen.
Bloodlord Sijia’s body had been torn into pieces, but he quickly recovered. Gods were immortal and could reform their bodies.
The only time a god would die was when the god’s Divine Star Soul was shattered, or when the god’s body was smashed into fine particles, or when the god’s mind, spirit, and qi were destroyed completely.
Of course, there were a few other ways to kill a god, but carrying out any of them was next to impossible.
It was too difficult to kill gods.
After the heavy blow, Bloodlord Sijia’s Divine Star Soul was now not as bright as before.
“It has just been two years. How did you recover your divine power so fast?” Bloodlord Sijia looked at Yueshen as fear filled his eyes.
Yueshen was already brutally powerful in the Celestial Palace a hundred thousand years ago.
Had Bloodlord Sijia known that Yueshen had recovered her divine power, he would not have dared to come to the Shatuo Domain and pick a fight with her on Mount Yueshen.
Yueshen had enough reason to kill them based on what the three gods had done.
Before the three gods arrived, they had thought that no one could stop them in the Shatuo Domain. Hence, they had been so arrogant and carrying out wanton killing. Many cultivators lost their lives as a result.
But right then, Bloodlord Sijia regretted it.
Blackie and Awesome, the Little Taoist poked their heads out behind Zhang Ruochen’s sleeves, one on each side.
Blackie gurgled as he swallowed. “The divine blood and flesh that are dropping off the god’s body is good stuff. Why don’t you collect them, Zhang Ruochen?”
Awesome, the Little Taoist’s eyes brightened up. “Divine blood that has been stored for years cannot rival the divine blood that is freshly oozing out of the god’s body. Other than qi, the blood also contains a mysterious power that only gods can understand. This power is a necessary ingredient in making a Heavenly Divine Pill or other more potent stuff.”
Zhang Ruochen rolled his eyes; these two fellows could not have been greedier.
Even the Supreme Saint dragon got killed after it was caught in the crossfire. How could they have the guts to go out to harvest the divine blood and flesh?
Bloodlord Sijia was losing too much blood. Taking a deep breath, he summoned a strong divine wind to sweep the divine blood from the ground up toward him.
However, Blood Dripper shot out and absorbed all of the divine blood before it flew back into Chi Yao’s hand, leaving a trail of its afterimage.
Bloodlord Sijia was furious. “How dare you take my divine blood!”
“You cannot possibly kill me on your own. Instead, you should be worried that Mount Yueshen will be your final resting place,” Chi Yao said to Bloodlord Sijia while she shot Yueshen a sideways glance.
Bloodlord Sijia’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at Yueshen again.
“Do not be intimidated. As far as I know, Yueshen has not only exhausted her divine power entirely but also her Divine Star Soul and qi during the last battle a hundred thousand years ago. There is no way she could have recovered so quickly. I am afraid that she might have drained the last drop of her strength when she dished out that move earlier.”
Just like Shang Ziyan, Yanshen’s cultivation exercise was the Way of the Three Corpses.
His divine body split into three, and as the flames surged, his body grew increasingly larger. It was as if a several-hundred-meter-tall god of fire was standing in the sky.
Zhang Ruochen and the others could not get a clear view of Yanshen’s body. All they saw was three suns suspended above Mount Yueshen. The heat emanating from those three suns were thousands of times more horrible than that of the sun. If it had not been for Yueshen’s light ring, the heat would have melted them all.
“Yanshen is too terrifyingly powerful. He has equally powerful bodies, and his strength is way greater than that of other gods.”
“Techniques like the Way of the Three Corpses should not exist in this world.”
The cultivators of the seven realms in the Shatuo Domain sighed as they shook their heads.
The arrival of those three gods at Mount Yueshen had already given them an advantage. Since their strength had increased so much that it was as if there were five gods among them, their advantage had multiplied significantly enough to crush any opponent.
“Divine Purification Flame!”
“Silencing Skyfire!”
“Annihilation Astral Flare!”
Yanshen’s three corpses blasted three different flames with overpowering energy toward Mount Yueshen.
“Yueshen, I did not get to witness how great you used to be a hundred thousand years ago. Nevertheless, it does not matter if you have really recovered; this is no longer your era. It is your misfortune for bumping into me. Today, you will get to experience the power of the three flames!”
As the three corpses clapped their hands together concurrently, three flames twisted together to generate more violent energy.
Standing at the center of a lunar mark, Yueshen looked otherworldly with an aloof charm. “What a naïve child!” She sighed, shaking her head.
Yueshen extended her beautiful hand, and a massive hand materialized to clash head-on with the flames, smashing them into a rain of fire.
Yanshen could not believe what was happening; his most powerful move had been defeated so easily.
While he was still in shock, the giant white hand came down and caught his three corpses. Three explosions ensued as the corpses were crushed into pieces. Chunks of body parts, still burning with fire, were blown away in all directions.
At that moment, all of the Shatuo Domain’s Supreme Saints and great emperors quaked in their boots and nearly went down on their knees.
Youshen and Bloodlord Sijia’s expressions changed. They quickly summoned up the precepts of Heaven and Earth in their bodies, then fled the Shatuo Domain as quickly as they could.
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
They would be safe as long as they made it out of the Shatuo Domain.
