Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 908 332: Karmic Fire Consumes the Body, Fierce Battle Against Heavenly Person Perfection (Part 2)

The martial artists of the Demon Eye Empire gritted their teeth in hatred.The old turtle from the Beast Sea before them was a mythical creature that inherited the Xuanwu bloodline, yet it wasn't pure, bearing no special traits. However, it relied on its long lifespan to outlast generation after generation in the Great Universe.

It perfectly illustrated the saying that the survivor becomes the king.

Behind them, an elder with hair like frost commanded attention with his piercing gaze and spoke in a deep voice:

"This old thing excels at defense and sealing techniques. We can't afford to delay with him. You find a way to hold him off, and I'll look for an opportunity to enter Gusu Star first."

The other two nodded.

The three of them were all Heavenly Person Perfection, representing the strongest combat power of the Great Universe at present.

This time, several factions were at war, and the battlefield wasn't just limited to Gusu Star; it included their respective strongholds.

Although the Beast Sea ranked as the strongest among the local powers, it was difficult to resist several families united. Nonetheless, they still managed to "slip" an old turtle of Heavenly Person Perfection level past them, who held them off outside of Gusu Star for some time.

A strong figure from the Canghai Empire was the first to don a layer of damaged armor, causing his aura to immediately become incomparably profound, like a black sun.

Upon seeing the heavy armor, the old turtle's expression turned solemn. He immediately retracted his head and manifested the Xuanwu Divine Form, coiling within the Yin Yang of the world, evolving the Yin Yang Two Qi into a massive grinding disk, beginning to get serious.

...

"How does it feel?"

In the Inner World, sensing Ji Jingqiu's anomaly, Hel asked.

"Very good. I feel the divine burned out, starting a new birth. This feeling is quite wonderful. It seems that the divine is the key that connects the origins of all things."

Ji Jingqiu whispered, suddenly curious,

"The fire disaster you arranged for my body, is it also the gateway to the Fire Universe?"

From this experience, he felt that there was probably no flame in this world more vast and pure than that of the Fire Universe.

This Saint Shouzhen had obviously invested a lot for him.

"Fire Universe?" Hel scoffed, "They're all mundane fires, even the 'True Fire' under Yin Fire, in the face of the trial I prepared for you, is still 'mundane fire'."

Ji Jingqiu skeptically asked, "Where does your confidence come from?"

Suddenly, Hel asked, "Do you know how Mu Shitian died back then?"

Ji Jingqiu was momentarily stunned.

Master Mu's Reincarnation Body still existed, but his true form had long perished, and the Buddha Country Pure Land that his past Daoist career evolved into had already become wasteland.

"Wasn't it the weight of the Bitter Sea, failing at the breakthrough?"

"Indeed, he died from a breakthrough, but there are many ways to die in a breakthrough. This guy was burned to death by the karmic fire of all beings." Hel raised his head, "In the face of Endless Karmic Fire, what do Heavenly Fire and Spirit Fire count for?"

Ji Jingqiu's face was expressionless.

As a successor of the World Venerable Lineage, he naturally understood what Karmic Fire was.

"You want me to incite Karmic Fire to burn myself now?" Ji Jingqiu ground his teeth, wanting to bite this person.

What is Karmic Fire? The collection of karmic forces from all worldly sins.

In recent years, Master Mu burned himself at the last moment of proving the Method, withstanding various karmic forces, ultimately achieving the Dao Fruit.

Even though sheltered by the Bodhi Tree, he was unwilling to provoke that thing, as it wasn't something that Wish Power could match.

"Capture another Wuzhou clone first, then we'll talk about this issue." Hel said.

"Forget it, I suppose I should make a move." Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself, having endured the main difficulty of the fire disaster. Although his Inner Heaven had not yet reborn, the success in the Supreme Method did not affect his combat power.

Lately, despite the notable achievements in suppressing all factions last time, several different voices have been heard from within the Heavenly Saint Lake sect, mainly due to the successive conclusions at other Ascension Platforms.

Now, the Ascension Platforms located in the Five Virtues Palace, the Yin Yang Dao Palace, and the Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain had settled.

Not to mention the recent addition of the Taiyin Divine Palace.

In contrast, the Heavenly Saint Lake, which was once second only to the Yanhuang Federation in prestige, had not displayed any movement, inevitably attracting some dissent.

Ji Jingqiu, as if standing in the setting sun, suddenly emitted an Immortal Golden Light.

A long sword pierced the Void, as if cast from red gold, cold and sharp. The edge beneath this sword was entirely gathered at the blade, slashing across towards his neck.

Ji Jingqiu neither retreated nor dodged.

"Clang!"

The terrifying metallic resonance, as if the sword struck a Heavenly Bell, producing a particularly shrill and frightening sound.

"You…"

The elder from the Demon Eye Empire, Xi Guyou's pupils shrank abruptly.

Though the sword didn't activate the sacrificial soldier's inherent power, it was still sharp enough to cut through the Magic Body of a Heavenly Person Perfection.

Yet it ended up ineffective, merely sparking on Ji Jingqiu's Heavenly Person Magic Body, only barely breaking his skin?!

"Old fool, don't you understand what 'Supreme Method' means?"

Ji Jingqiu held his hands behind his back, looking condescending and disdainful, full of No Heaven's demeanor.

In a moment, the world and its elements changed, various acupoints simultaneously lit up, and the might of Heaven and Earth infused his body.

Before Xi Guyou could return to normal, Ji Jingqiu took a step forward, his long fingers clamping onto Xi Guyou's face, suppressing him, and in a single leap, arrived in the starry sky.

Here, although lacking some support from the might of Heaven and Earth, there was no suppression from Gusu Star's own rules, granting him the 'freedom' a Heavenly Person should have.

"Elder Xi!"

"No Heaven?!"

In the starry sky, the two engaging in battle with Xuanming immediately noticed the anomaly, their expressions changed, looking at the one held in Ji Jingqiu's grip.

With a roar, Xi Guyou, caught by Ji Jingqiu's single hand, released Sword Intent to the sky, pouring like a heavy downpour, and in an instant, the Sword Light became a torrent, engulfing himself as well as Ji Jingqiu.

"Boom!"

Hundreds of dazzling Sword Lights formed a torrent, turning the thousand-mile area ahead into a place of True Void, rendering everything nonexistent.

"No Heaven brat!"

In the shadows, Xuanming reemerged, nervously observing Ji Jingqiu engulfed by the Sword Light.
