Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 836 - 307: Sacrificial Soldier, Sudden Turn of Events, Saint King Projection

One blood-red star after another rose as illusions, reflecting in the starry sky, propping up a blood-colored sky.Awakening the Sacrificial Soldier, just holding it in his hand, Xi Zhong’s aura soared instantly, effortlessly standing at the peak of the Great Heavenly Position, touching the threshold of Perfection.

Xi Zhong frowned, looking only slightly better.

He had just awakened the Sacrificial Soldier and immediately felt a cold gaze from the void as if he would be wiped from existence the next moment.

Until the awakening level of this Sacrificial Soldier dropped to less than the level of Heavenly Person Perfection, the suppression of the Great Universe gradually dissipated.

Fortunately, although the power level all the way down, the Origin of the Inner Heaven and Earth within the Sacrificial Soldier did not fall, providing him with a continuous boost of power.

Coupled with the sharpness of the knife Sacrificial Soldier itself, he regained his confidence.

Without brewing, without hesitation, Xi Zhong attacked directly.

The awakening of the Sacrificial Soldier has a time limit, and cannot fight for long.

The sword edge cut through the void, as if opening a blood-colored scroll, filled with scenes of a world-ending catastrophe with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, scarlet lightning, collapsing mountains and rivers, and decaying stars!

Scarlet Sword Qi fell like rain, piercing through the void, the murderous aura almost fading into nothingness, returning to simplicity.

Ji Jingqiu gathered all the Wuji Talismans from the acupoints around his body into his palm, clashing head-on with the blade!

Clang—

Like a golden bead falling on a jade plate, a slight sound resounded as all the talismans shattered with a roar.

Immediately, the exploded aftermath spread, rumbling for miles around!

All the observing Heavenly Persons looked solemn; it was difficult for them to intervene in this battle.

Ji Jingqiu managed to pull back in time, avoiding the outcome of having an arm cut off, but his palm was bloody, deeply visible to the bone, and attached with some strange power, making it hard to self-heal.

This power was above Dharma but below Taoist Rules.

With Infinite Light bathing his palm, he expelled this force, allowing rapid recovery.

With just this strike, he understood the situation.

When three thousand talismans are fused into one, [Xing Wuji] steps into the second level [All Laws are Easy], perhaps then he can withstand it, but certainly not now.

This strange weapon, neither quite sword nor knife, is at least on the Heavenly King level.

He stepped back a few steps to avoid the sharpness.

Soon, he felt something unusual, even though overwhelming blood seas opposed him, he could still hear a sound of prayers, holy and sacred.

This is... a Divine Artifact?

Ji Jingqiu dodged while connecting to Lady La online for help!

"One word, drag; he can’t hold it for long."

"Do you really think breaking through the Heavenly Human Boundary makes you invincible in the world?"

"The heritage of every civilization is deep, even a Heavenly Person Perfection could inexplicably die."

"If your true self were here, you might attempt to invoke the Bitter Sea Water; these pseudo-gods fear the erosion of the Bitter Sea the most, for them falling into the Bitter Sea is akin to sinking into Hell."

Ji Jingqiu pondered, just about to make a move, when he seemed to plunge into a vast sea of blood, blood waves towering to the sky, with every wave exuding a chilling power.

...

Taking advantage of No Heaven Daoist being suppressed by the sacrificial Divine Weapon’s Xi Zhong.

An elder from the Canghai Empire placed his hand on a pitch-black Demon Heart, his face pale, forcing out a drop of heart’s blood, letting it fall on the Demon Heart.

He looked at the young figure far away, crashing down mountain peaks in battle, no longer hesitating, with resolute eyes, deploying the Curse Killing Technique!

This kind of Curse Killing Technique, invisible and formless, specifically attacks the True Self, is a secret killing skill obtained by the Canghai Empire from the Chaotic Abyss Sea.

In that instant, the elder grunted, retreated several steps, his previously gray temples now predominantly white.

Huang Xinchu’s expression shifted slightly; in her perception, this elder had half lost his life, sacrificing a large portion of his Life Origin.

At the Heavenly Person level, lifespan greatly increases, but it isn’t limitless; besides the "lifespan" of the spirit, the thickness of the Life Origin matters.

The reason Void Giant Beasts live far longer than other beings is due to their unimaginably thick Life Origin.

"It’s done!"

The elder showed delight; the Demon Heart did not resist, a rare success in their operation exceeding expectations.

Everyone’s spirits lifted, they raised their heads to watch.

The two fought from vast terrains to the sky, releasing all restraints, with thousands of feet tall mountains crumbling like paper in their wake.

If not for the remnants of the Holy King Lineage’s prohibition guarding this planet, the entire Gusu Star would have been pierced through.

"This..." The other female disciples of the Phoenix Blood Palace were hesitant, subtly asking not to hurt the elder’s feelings, "Could it be due to the name?"

The elder was momentarily stunned, shaking his head: "It shouldn’t be, I felt the Demon Heart’s response, it indeed attacked, targeting the True Self of that No Heaven Daoist."

Behind Huang Xinchu, the shadow of a Blood Phoenix appeared, the surrounding world reflected meticulously in her eyes.

She abruptly said: "That pendant on No Heaven’s right ear shattered! It must be a life replacement magic artifact protecting the True Self."

She gritted her teeth and said: "Yes, the Divine Prohibition of the Heavenly Saint Lake, wouldn’t it have to be armed to the teeth?"

Huang Xinchu suddenly turned and looked at the elder.

The latter’s scalp tingled.

"Senior, rest assured, you just need to leave a breath; our Phoenix Blood Palace can help you replenish your Life Origin and even restore you to your prime middle age." Huang Xinchu solemnly promised.

The elder finally breathed a sigh of relief, then was overjoyed, eyes like torches said: "Truly?!"

"Xinchu can swear here." Huang Xinchu said word by word, "This can be done by our lineage without the intervention of the palace; we will leave No Heaven permanently here today, and I will apply for the first merit for you, Senior!"
