"Heart of Carnage, rush open the Gate of the Immortal Realm for me, let me connect with the Immortal Realm! Step into the Longevity Secret Realm!" The murderous intent on Meng Shaobai's body swirled, growing more and more intense, turning heaven and earth upside down, rolling like a tide.
That condensed Heart of Carnage actually wriggled, as if it had spawned sentience.
The Great Carnage Technique was also one of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
The ancient Lifeless Sword Sect upheld precisely this absolute skill.
Moreover, the Great Carnage Technique was much more formidable than the Great Obliteration Technique and the Great Cutting Technique. A single word "kill" encompassed many true meanings. Since ancient times, many experts' understanding of the word "kill" was not identical, but the Great Carnage Technique encompassed everything; everyone who cultivated the Great Carnage Technique had a unique insight into the word "kill", it was not simply just obliteration.
"The word kill, indiscriminate slaughter of the innocent, is destruction. Punishing the wicked, is benevolence and righteousness. The two sides of Yin and Yang, coupling hardness with softness, wielding it ingeniously, exists in one mind." Meng Shaobai roared continuously, space shaking.
That Heart of Carnage transmitted streaks of blade-like murderous intent, actually impacting the Gate of the Immortal Realm to the point of shaking.
Rumble!
Wave after wave of murderous intent was directly transmitted onto the Gate of the Immortal Realm, continuously bombarding it.
One hour, two hours, three hours!
A full twelve hours passed, and that Gate of the Immortal Realm finally could not withstand the impact of Meng Shaobai's boundless murderous intent, opening a tiny crack.
"Buzz!" Buzz buzz! It sounded like the cheers of thousands, transmitted out from the void, everywhere manifesting the aura of streaks of Immortal Realm laws. Massive amounts of Immortal Realm vital energy poured into the top of Meng Shaobai's head, rushing into his sea of consciousness, his mana climbing higher and higher. Reaching an unprecedented height.
And his Heart of Carnage, having received many laws and Great Dao profound meanings of the Immortal Realm, expanded again, inflated, and then unexpectedly turned into an existence resembling a human but not a human, like a demon god, a devil, the representative of carnage.
Swish!
From within Meng Shaobai's body, a precious sword flew up, exactly the Lifeless Carnage Sword he had painstakingly sacrificed and refined himself, a Peerless Precious Artifact. As soon as this sword flew out, it immediately merged with the Heart of Carnage, radiating boundless brilliance.
This sword rotated, and the Heart of Carnage actually became its artifact spirit.
A Low-grade Dao artifact was born.
"For those who cultivate the Lifeless Carnage Dao, they need no magical treasures; the flying sword, the sword in their palm, must be refined by themselves. Merging mutually with their heart's blood, only then can they use it handily. Now, I have finally stepped into the Longevity Secret Realm! Becoming a giant of the ages, the Great Carnage Technique has reached great completion! This sword, I give you a command, your name is Carnage! The Great Carnage Technique I cultivate, this sword is named the Carnage Sword, true to its name! Fang Han, the sword in my palm has already achieved a Dao artifact, I shall take your fresh blood, or the fresh blood of your disciples, to sacrifice to the artifact spirit of my divine sword!"
Meng Shaobai stood up, stroking this Carnage Sword in his palm, bursts of fierce color showing on his face.
Subsequently, his body transformed into a streak of flowing light, about to escape the Yuhua Heavenly Palace, and go to Fang Han's Reincarnation Peak to kill to his heart's content.
However, just as he had just flown up, a shadow blocked in front of him, obstructing his path.
Meng Shaobai stabilized his figure, instantly seeing clearly the face of this person, it was exactly the Heaven Punishment Elder!
"Meng Shaobai, are you going to Reincarnation Peak? The disciples of my Yuhua Sect are forbidden from private duels, do not commit a great mistake, otherwise I, as the elder in charge of the sect's penal laws, will have to handle it according to the sect rules." The Heaven Punishment Elder shouted.
"Sect rules?" Meng Shaobai flicked the sword and laughed: "Elder of Heaven Punishment, I have now cultivated to the Longevity Secret Realm, achieved the Great Carnage Technique, and am already a Vice Headmaster of the Yuhua Sect, my status seems to be above yours, what qualification do you have to obstruct me? Moreover, even if you obstruct me, what strength do you have?"
"Hahaha!" The Heaven Punishment Elder stared at Meng Shaobai for quite a while: "You have not yet received the Vice Headmaster's command token, nor have you received Headmaster Senior Brother's authorization, you are not yet a Vice Headmaster, I still have the right to restrict you. Furthermore, do you really think you can kill Fang Han? Let me tell you, during the period of your closed-door cultivation, Fang Han challenged Ruyizi, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, beheaded him, destroying both his body and spirit!"
"What? Such a thing happened?" Meng Shaobai's complexion changed. Ever since he was defeated by Fang Han, he had entered the depths of the Yuhua Heavenly Palace's space-time for closed-door cultivation. One day outside was one month inside. He had cultivated for a full several decades. Yet he knew absolutely nothing about Fang Han killing Ruyizi.
"This matter has already caused a sensation in the world. Hua Tiandu has also cultivated to the Longevity Secret Realm, holding High-grade Dao artifacts, Mid-grade Dao artifacts, and he does not dare to make a move. What ability do you have?" The Heaven Punishment Elder shouted: "Quickly come with me, go pay respects to the Supreme Headmaster, and listen for reprimands."
"Paying respects to the Supreme Headmaster is as it should be." Meng Shaobai remained silent for a moment, then suddenly started laughing: "However, Elder of Heaven Punishment, even if the matter is true, but you coming to obstruct me, explains one issue, that Fang Han has already gone out, right now his Reincarnation Peak is empty, I really should take advantage of the emptiness to enter, and behead that servant girl of his, as well as some attendants. He has a Great Asura servant girl, who is not a person of my Yuhua Sect anyway, if I behead her, it shouldn't count as violating the sect rules right."
"Did you think, Fang Han doesn't know you left closed-door cultivation? He laid down a back-up plan long ago, your going there will not only achieve no killing, but will instead provoke conflicts, destroying the rules of my Yuhua Sect." The Heaven Punishment Elder said.
"Is that so? It seems no matter what? You, Elder of Heaven Punishment, are going to obstruct me? But you are also at the first level of the Longevity Secret Realm, the Myriad Longevity Realm. I am also at the first level of the Longevity Secret Realm, the Myriad Longevity Realm. How could you possibly obstruct me?" While Meng Shaobai spoke, he suddenly swished out a sword strike.
Sword energy was dense and sinister, a full thousand to a hundred zhang long, aiming straight for the Heaven Punishment Elder's throat.
This sword strike, if delivered outside, was fully capable of directly mincing a large mountain into powder. Meng Shaobai actually attacked the Heaven Punishment Elder!
"Hahaha, hahaha! Young people truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth. I will let you know today, I have controlled the penal laws of the Yuhua Sect for three thousand years already, did you think, solely relying on this little bit of means, you could contend with me?" The Heaven Punishment Elder laughed heartily, and suddenly in his hands appeared two existences resembling knives but not knives, resembling swords but not swords, dealing with it lightly, crossing against Meng Shaobai's sword in one move.
"Twin Blades of Heaven Punishment! A pair of Mid-grade Dao artifacts!"
Meng Shaobai only felt his sword was shocked to the point of almost suffocating, the artifact spirit inside was about to fracture, his "Carnage Sword" had just newly advanced to the level of a Low-grade Dao artifact. Meeting this pair of the Heaven Punishment Elder's Heaven Punishment Blades, it naturally wasn't a match.
However, Meng Shaobai was also battle-tested, suddenly changing, his body slightly distorting, the flying sword in his palm transforming boundlessly, amidst one strike, it unexpectedly flashed erratically, intense murderous intent condensing into formless sword energy, invading into the Heaven Punishment Elder's mind.
The Heaven Punishment Elder did not budge an inch, a halo flew out from the back of his head, and in the blink of an eye, condensed into a domain, actually wrapping Meng Shaobai within it.
Suddenly, Meng Shaobai felt that the Heaven Punishment Elder's body disappeared. Then, before his eyes appeared a forest of spears and mountains of blades, rows of mountain peaks extending continuously, these massive mountain peaks were completely covered with snow-bright sharp knives.
And he himself was situated deep in the mountains of blades, his whole body stinging with pain, no matter how he struggled, he could not struggle out.
"This is… what is this? A spiritual domain!" Meng Shaobai roared fiercely, his natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol escaping outwards, manifesting the body of a Kunpeng covering a thousand miles, wings flying, but no matter how he flew, everywhere there were mountains of blades, snow-bright sharp knives assassinating his spirit, piercing his spirit till it was riddled with holes.
"Not bad, this is a spiritual domain, this is the 'Xingtian Domain' I have cultivated, I have already broken through the bottleneck of the Undying Body, right now I am only lacking sufficient vital energy, and then I can thoroughly cultivate the Undying Body, so, Meng Shaobai, in front of me, you cannot get out." The Heaven Punishment Elder suddenly moved, and the spiritual domain disappeared.
The boundless mountains of blades in front of Meng Shaobai also vanished.
"You can't even break open my Xingtian Domain, let alone Fang Han's Eternal Demonic Domain and Elysium Pure Land." The Heaven Punishment Elder looked as if smiling but not smiling, "Follow me to see the Headmaster. The Headmaster has a matter for you to handle."
"Is that so?" Meng Shaobai seemed unwilling to accept it, a powerful murderous intent brewing in his heart, a cold light flickering in his eyes.
Right at this moment, a mirror light shone down, reflecting upon his body, and immediately the murderous intent in his heart fell apart like sunlight seeing blood.
From the void, Feng Baiyu's voice was transmitted: "Meng Shaobai, come here. Put aside your grudges with Fang Han temporarily, I will give you a chance to settle them fairly with him, at the Assembly of the Immortals in a year and a half. This is precisely a chance. Right now you are still not his match. You must undergo tempering, if you can advance vigorously once more and cultivate to the Undying Body, only then can you truly contend with him. Now, I want you to come here, to handle a matter, investigating the secrets of the Tianwu Vault. If you do not listen to my words, then I will only have to execute the Headmaster's sect rules."
"Yes, Supreme Headmaster." Meng Shaobai remained silent for a moment; having just broken through to the Longevity Secret Realm, he knew all the more of Feng Baiyu's terror, and also knew this person stood by his word, his body swept past, flying toward the depths of the Yuhua Heavenly Palace.
"Headmaster Senior Brother is still more formidable." The Heaven Punishment Elder shook his head and also left.
Inside the Yellow Springs Diagram, Fang Han's natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol stood in the depths of the Gate of Avici, in front of the Soul-Devouring Holy Beast.
"What? Life-Snatching Scholar, are you willing to let me off? You know the many benefits of the Tianwu Vault's secrets, right. However, what I gave you before was merely the map of the Tianwu Vault, as for which specific position it is, if you truly want to enter this treasure vault, you still need me to give you the map of the entire restriction."
Seeing Fang Han standing in front of it, the Soul-Devouring Holy Beast couldn't help but hurriedly speak out.
How could it know that Fang Han would not speak, but suddenly stretch out his hand, pointing a finger. Bang! The magical power of the Minor Destiny Technique enveloped the Soul-Devouring Holy Beast, and chanting from the depths of the soul void resounded clearly.
"Soul-Devouring Holy Beast, your destiny is to become my slave for eternal lifetimes! Your destiny is to ultimately turn into the Nine Rotations Soul Returning Pill. This is your irresistible destiny."
Sections of chanting, seeds of destiny, entered the body of the Soul-Devouring Holy Beast. To ensure reliability, Fang Han also deployed his Eternal Demonic Domain and Elysium Pure Land.
Now, he was officially going to transition the Soul-Devouring Holy Beast, refine the Nine Rotations Soul Returning Pill, and revive Fang Qingxue.
