From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS - Chapter 754

Chapter 754: Chapter 753-drying the pond to catch fish

Translator: 549690339

A connate Cardinal treasure was a top-tier divine weapon.

Just like Dao fruit experts, they were the pinnacle of the universe.

Any existence that had reached the pinnacle was extraordinary.

However, compared to a true Dao fruit realm expert, a connate Cardinal treasure lacked a true physical body.

He had no physical body.

It was like a rootless weed, and it was impossible for it to have too much power.

As for the original body of the Supreme treasure, it was just a shell given by heaven and earth. It could not be compared with a real body.

it’s easier said than done to possess a physical body. Connate Cardinal treasures have been born for so many eras, but none of them have truly possessed a physical body. Even the most powerful Cardinal treasure from the first era was destroyed in the catastrophe.

Under the shackles of the universe, connate Cardinal treasures were the limit.

Anyone who tried to break the shackles would be punished by the heavens.

Under the heavenly punishment, who can stay out of it?”

Sanhua said in a self-deprecating manner.

Qin shujian was silent when he heard this.

It was the restriction of the universe that a pre-world Supreme treasure couldn’t transform. No one could change that.

Just as the other party had said, any existence that tried to break the rules would be punished by the heavens.

Dao fruit experts were said to have transcended the rules, but they still existed in the universe.

They were not afraid of heavenly punishment, but that was only for themselves.

At this moment, the long sword trembled and transformed into the appearance of a young man.

“Greetings, heavenly Emperor!” San Hua bowed slightly, then immediately stood up and said, “”Heavenly Emperor, you didn’t come here just to reminisce about the old days, did you?”

Even though he was the divine weapon of the Swordmaster.

However, as a connate Cardinal treasure, it was somewhat related to Qin shujian from the third era.

However, it was just a contact, not a friendship.

Now that he had entered the celestial heavens as an official, rather than saying that he was willing, it would be better to say that he had been coerced into submission by force.

&Nbsp; so,

When talking about reminiscing about the past, San Hua also had a self-deprecating expression on his face.

Qin shujian placed his hands behind his back. He said calmly, “reminiscing about the past is only one of the reasons. I still have other things to do.

The words fell.

The godseal board flew out.

He saw that the original ten feet long list had suddenly become a million feet in size, blocking the great sun.

The appearance of the list of deification darkened the whole world.

All the living beings raised their heads instinctively and looked at the sky.

At this moment.

Qin shujian made a hand seal and took out all the stars sealed in the list of deification.

A dozen stars suddenly appeared.

Boom–

The stars appeared.

In the blink of an eye, he was about to fall to the ground.

The terrifying power shattered the void.

Seeing this.

Qin shujian waved his hand, and countless formation patterns flew out. A large formation was set up in the blink of an eye.

The star that was originally falling toward the ground seemed to be held up by an invisible hand, directly stopping its figure.

In that instant.

He put away the list of deification.

The dark sky brightened up again.

In the sky above the heaven, a dozen stars were trapped by a formation, forced to stay there.

Immediately after.

Qin shujian used both of his hands to form countless seals that landed on the stars.

The stars were covered by a mysterious power and then shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It didn’t matter if it was a hundred thousand feet tall star or a star that was several hundred thousand feet tall.

At this moment.

They all shrunk at the same time.

When the star had shrunk to a certain size, Qin shujian grabbed it and pressed it down on the map of the stars.

Instantly.

The map of the stars shook violently.

This wasn’t the real picture of the heavenly cycle stars. It was just a picture of the heavenly cycle stars that Qin shujian had conjured with the help of the power of The Investiture of the Gods.

Illusory power.

It was not an easy task to bear the weight of a complete star.

The star map was about to be destroyed.

The star seals that existed in the map of the heavenly cycle stars shone brightly, stabilizing the map that was about to collapse.

Immediately after.

The scattered essence above also had power flowing into it.

Instantly.

The star map was completely stabilized.

Immediately after, Qin shujian started to send the remaining stars into the stellar heavenly Cycle Map.

Boom–

The stars fell, and the vast power of the stars fell like a waterfall.

At that moment.

The power in the stars was constantly extracted and transformed by the map of the stars, turning into the energy of the stars that could be easily absorbed, covering the entire heavenly court.

Then, through the celestial heavens, he headed towards the four continents.

When the power of the stars fell …

The power of the stars in the heavenly court had more than doubled.

At the same time.

The power of the stars in the four continents also became stronger.

Some of the cultivators who were stuck at a bottleneck were forced to break through under the impact of this power.

BOOM!

The momentum of the breakthrough was huge.

the astral energy has become denser. What’s happening? ”

I’ve broken through. I’ve finally broken through. Haha!

Although the cultivators of the various races were puzzled as to why the power of the stars had suddenly become so dense, it didn’t stop them from feeling happy.

The power of the stars was dense.

The progress of his own cultivation would be even faster.

Some people also recalled the dark scene earlier and secretly guessed whether there was some connection between the two.

In the sky above the heavenly court.

Qin shujian had already put away The Investiture of the Gods. He then stood on the map of the heavenly cycle stars.

“The energy contained in the stars is being extracted. The illuminating the great thousand world has consumed a lot of energy. Judging from the energy contained in the stars, the weakest one can only last for a few months.

Even if it’s a powerful star, it’ll take at most three to five years for all the power contained within to be completely extracted.”

Once the star’s power was completely extracted, the star would shatter.

At that time.

A star that had exhausted its power would have no other use.

In other words …

The star he had now could only last for a period of time. After its power was exhausted, he would have to exchange for a new Star.

“No matter how many stars there are in the outer region, if this continues for a thousand or ten thousand years, it’ll probably be almost completely consumed.”

Qin shujian shook his head.

Fortunately, this situation didn’t need to continue.

But now, the power of the heaven was not enough, so they needed to use such an extreme method to forcibly extract the power of the stars.

Under normal circumstances.

The speed at which one absorbed the power of the stars was in balance with the speed at which the stars themselves were absorbed.

He could cultivate with the power of the stars, and he didn’t have to worry about the loss of too much power, which would lead to the destruction of the stars.

However, there were also flaws in doing so.

The effect of cultivation was not as shocking as it was now.

A person with the same talent, cultivating in the current environment, could break through to the true immortal realm in just a dozen years.

However, if he cultivated under normal star power, he would need ten times or even dozens of times more time.

Pulling up seedlings to help them grow.

It had its flaws and its strengths.

The disadvantage was that it consumed too many stars, and it was like drying the swamp to catch fish.

Its advantage was that it could produce enough powerhouses in a short period of time.

However, in the long run, it was not a good thing.

I can’t think too much now. Even if we really dry the pond and fish out, it’s better than waiting for the Great Tribulation to come and lose everything. Qin shujian’s heart turned cold.

If he lost …

Then there would be nothing left.

He wasn’t a benevolent and righteous person, so he could only try his best while he was alive.

As for after he died, Qin shujian couldn’t be bothered with him.

Looking at the power of the stars below, San Hua was a little surprised. the celestial Thearch directly moved the stars from the outer realm void here.

“Yes.”

Qin shujian nodded. He then took a step into the air and left the place.

He still had other things to do.

After returning to the heavenly Palace.

Qin shujian immediately went to look for Niu Dali and Chu kuangtu.

“I’ve found the location of the demonic abyss.”

Upon hearing this.

Chu kuangtu and Niu Dali were both confused.

Finding the demonic abyss was a major event.

However, when they saw Qin shujian’s grave expression, they couldn’t quite understand what was going on.

Moreover …

There was no need for him to come and tell them that he had found the demon abyss.

The corners of Niu da Li’s mouth twitched as a bad premonition welled up in his heart. Emperor Qin, are you trying to drag us into the demonic abyss? ”

“I haven’t recovered much of my strength. At most, I can only deal with a true immortal of the upper three tiers for a while.

I heard that the demonic abyss even has half-step Dao fruits. It’s too risky to rush into the demonic abyss!”

Before Qin shujian could say anything, Niu Dali hurriedly spoke.

He was really afraid that Qin shujian would get hot-headed and drag him and the others into the demon abyss.

If it was the Qin Emperor of the 3rd era, he might not have been so impulsive.

But in this era, it was hard to say.

Compared to the Qin Emperor of the 3rd era, the Qin Emperor of this era was more human-like, but also more impulsive.

He wanted to flip the table.

Niu Dali was worried that Qin shujian would really have such an impulse.

At that time, he wouldn’t be able to refuse or not refuse.

Although Chu kuangtu didn’t say anything, his expression was subtle.

To attack the demonic abyss!

That’s crazy!

After he had reincarnated, he had been in the player world, so he was not very clear about the demon abyss’s strength. However, after returning to the great thousand world, he had gained some understanding.

With their strength, they would most likely be courting death if they were to charge into the demonic abyss.

“——”

Qin shujian was speechless.

Niu Dali and Chu kuangtu’s reactions caused him to not know how to continue the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

A moment later.

Qin shujian shook his head and said, “I don’t want to die with you when you’re trying to break into the demon abyss. The demon abyss is a secondary problem. However, you definitely didn’t expect the origins of the demon abyss.

according to the information we have so far, the demon abyss should have been opened up by a Dao fruit. Perhaps there were other fallen Dao fruits that awakened long before us. It’s not impossible.

Maniac Chu hesitated for a moment before giving a vague answer.

He had made a big guess as to why Qin shujian had come over personally to talk about it with such a serious attitude.

The biggest possibility.

It was the Dao fruit that had fallen in the previous era that had awakened earlier than them. It had recovered some of its strength and then opened up the demonic abyss.

“No…”

Qin shujian shook his head and said, “”The demonic abyss is formed from the body of a fallen Dao fruit.”

Finished speaking.

“A true Dao fruit body!” He immediately added.

BOOM!

This simple sentence caused a huge wave of shock to rise in Chu kuangtu and Niu Dali’s hearts.

“Impossible!”

Chu kuangtu denied it immediately and said loudly, “”How can there be a true Dao fruit body? could it be a Dao fruit that fell in this era?”

“I don’t think so.”

Qin shujian shook his head, and his expression was grave.

“After I became the celestial Thearch, I received some information that no new Dao fruit has been born in this era. As for the Dao fruit from the previous era, there is a possibility that it has fallen in this era.

However, I can’t be completely sure.”

Whether it was a Dao fruit from a previous era or a Dao fruit from a previous era that had fallen in this era was very difficult to find out.

At this moment.

The two of them finally understood why Qin shujian’s attitude was so serious.

The demonic abyss was a manifestation of a Dao fruit’s physical body, which was indeed a major event.

Instantly.

Niu da Li’s expression also became serious,”If the demonic abyss is really a physical body formed by a Dao fruit, then that existence might not have completely perished.

It didn’t matter if he had fallen in the previous era or in this era.

Since the demonic abyss is approaching the greater world, it proves that the existence still retains its instinctive consciousness.”

– His words do make sense.”

Chu kuangtu shot a glance at Niu Dali, and then nodded in response.

“No matter what, the Dao fruit’s target is the greater world. It’s fine if he dies completely. Then, the demon abyss approaching the greater world is just an instinct, and there will be no other consequences.

However, if that existence is not completely dead, there may be other changes when the demonic abyss attacks the great thousand world.”

A Dao fruit realm expert who had not died completely.

It was a terrifying threat no matter where it was placed.

This was especially so in this era, where not a single Dao fruit had been born. The strongest person in the heavenly court was Qin shujian, while the strongest people in the great thousand world were probably the two half-step Dao fruits.

Such strength.

It was impossible to contend against a Dao fruit existence.

Even if this Dao fruit was already heavily injured and on the verge of death, leaving behind only a weak power, it would still be the same.

Once he broke through to Dao fruit.

It was completely different from creatures below the Dao fruit realm.

Even at the half-step Dao fruit realm.

In front of a true Dao fruit existence, they were no different from ants.

Qin shujian said, ” I’m not sure if he’s dead or not. The reason I’ve come to look for you is to find out if there are any physical bodies with fallen Dao fruits left in the first and second eras.

If there is, I can roughly calculate something.”

He was sure.

There was no such expert in the third era.

The rest were the first, second eras, and the eras after the third era, which must have existed.

No matter what.

The birth of each era was a completely independent existence.

Even though there were powerful cultivators from the previous eras who had been reborn in the third era, it did not mean that Qin shujian had a complete understanding of the previous two eras.

Upon hearing this.

Chu kuangtu and Niu da li both fell into deep thought.

After a long while, maniac Chu shook his head and said, ” the Dao fruits of the second era were almost all dead at the end of the era. The only ones who survived to the third era were me and the king of crafts.

As for the Dao fruits that had fallen in the second era, their physical bodies had also crumbled at the end of the era, leaving nothing behind.

By now, the king refiner of the inferior artifact has already died. I’m the only one still alive in the second era.”

When they talked about this matter.

Chu kuangtu’s expression didn’t change.

When the second era was destroyed, all living beings, including his family, friends, and disciples, had died.

In the beginning.

When Chu kuangtu recalled these things, his emotions would still fluctuate a little.

But now …

He had already achieved a calm state.

After all, at this level, not to mention the Taishang emotionless sword, he was indifferent to many things. In addition, with the wear and tear of countless years, all emotions had mostly disappeared.

The rest was probably just pure memories.

After Chu kuangtu finished speaking …

Niu da li muttered to himself for a moment before he replied,”When the first era ended, all the strong ones who were alive survived, and all the strong ones who died also died at the end of the era.

It was impossible to say that his physical body had remained.

However, it was said that as early as the birth of an era, there were Dao fruits born. There was a shocking war that broke out, and it was said that some Dao fruits were lost.

I don’t know if there are any physical bodies left in those Dao fruits.”

The words fell.

Niu da li quickly added,”There shouldn’t be any physical bodies left behind, because at the end of the era, everything in the entire universe was exposed to our sight.

Even if we didn’t have the power to seal ourselves, we would’ve been destroyed by true power, let alone a flesh body.”

The end of the era.

The universe collapsed.

If a living Dao fruit realm expert wanted to survive the Tribulation, they needed to use their own power to set up a protective barrier and seal themselves completely.

When the true power recedes and the universe reopens, the Tribulation will naturally be over.

From the end of the universe to the opening of it, it only took an instant.

But at that moment.

Even existences at the Dao fruit level might not be able to survive.

&Nbsp; so,

The weaker Dao fruits were eroded and destroyed by the power of reality at that moment. Only the stronger Dao fruits could survive that moment.

It was also because of this.

Any surviving Dao fruit was the kind that was extremely powerful.

“In that case, that existence’s physical body is not from the previous three eras.”

Qin shujian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

It was good that it was not from the first three eras.

If it was an existence from the first three eras, then it would be too terrifying.

This was because the longer the Dao fruit existed, the more tribulations it had passed, and the more powerful it was.

In the third era, he did not dare to say that his strength was the strongest among all the Dao fruits.

Not to mention the strongest.

He might not even be in the top five.

If it was really the remains of that terrifying Dao fruit body, it would be fine if the other party was completely dead. If he was not completely dead, he would be a huge threat.

Compared to the Dao fruits of the previous few eras …

If mo Yuan had been transformed into a physical body from a Dao fruit of the later era, Qin shujian would have been less worried.

you should recover your strength to the level of third-tier true immortals as soon as possible. If there’s a chance, I’d prefer to take the initiative to attack the demonic abyss instead of being beaten up passively.

Qin shujian looked at the two of them and suddenly laughed.

Niu da li and Chu Kuang tu thought to themselves,”as expected.” Then, they reluctantly nodded their heads and replied perfunctorily.

“I’ll try my best!”
