Chapter 206: Chapter 115: Seizing Life from Heaven (3)

They were about to rush to rescue the Crown Prince, who had fallen into the Sword River, but one of them seemed to see something and froze for a moment.

"What are you looking at?"

"The Empress and the National Master are watching."

The Daoist Sect Leader frowned at his stunned arch-rival and asked.

"Nothing."

"I thought I saw someone I knew."

"But..."

"I don’t know him."

Zhu Ying, cradling a sword, his hair half black and half white, narrowed his eyes in thought, still unable to figure out who this Black-robed Eunuch was.

「Nearly ten years had passed.」

Relying on his Sword Overlapping Waves, he had carved his own path and had already become a Grandmaster of Mortal Cultivation, an Innate Giant who could take life from the heavens.

And Su Chen was long gone.

「In the Library Pavilion.」

That Xuanyuan Treasure Tree was swaying in the wind.

It was blooming!

It was blossoming!

It should have ripened and borne fruit long ago, but it hadn’t. All these years, it had been waiting for someone.

Now.

He had come!

That night, flowers bloomed in abundance. The Xuanyuan Treasure Tree—which carried the Three Fortunes of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, was rooted in the Dynasty, and grew within the All Living Beings’ Fortune—finally bore fruit.

"If not for you, I would not exist."

"I have been waiting for you."

"You have finally come."

BOOM!

That night, a thousand-zhang-tall radiance shot into the sky. Among the Three Fortunes, the All Living Beings’ Fortune, which represented humanity, surged and boiled.

The one-zhang-tall Xuanyuan Treasure Tree unleashed the thousand-zhang-tall light-and-shadow of a Qi Fortune Tree. It stood between heaven and earth, and from within the All Living Beings’ Fortune, a palm-sized, exquisite fruit floated out.

A stir every ten years.

A new section every hundred years.

A single fruit every thousand years.

The Spiritual Object of the human way, the Xuanyuan Fruit, was born.

It could help an Innate Realm expert generate a powerful stream of Innate Dragon Qi.

It could also.

Allow a Foundation Establishment cultivator to achieve a powerful Spirit Seed Foundation Establishment!

However.

This particular Xuanyuan Fruit was rooted in the Dynasty’s qi fortune and had grown by absorbing the All Living Beings’ Fortune. Even among all the Xuanyuan Fruits in the endless history of the Mountain Sea Realm, this one was unique.

’The heavens have intent, the mountains and seas have spirit, and all living beings have fortune...’

’So...’

’The third fortune was you all along.’

Su Chen was in a bit of a daze.

Vaguely.

He still remembered.

Years ago, it was he who had personally taken the azure Spirit Seed from Huzi’s hands and planted it in the Library Pavilion, hoping to one day harvest a Spirit Medicine.

He never expected.

That now, this Treasure Tree would become the third great creature, the Human Fortune Tree, on par with Celestial Will and Earth Spirit.

’In that case.’

’Today.’

’I will fully achieve the Innate Realm!’

At that moment, Su Chen took a step forward. The Qi and blood in his body pulled the Xuanyuan Fruit, which was glowing with Spiritual Light, into himself.

BOOM!

In an instant.

Su Chen appeared before the shattered, ten-thousand-zhang Celestial Gate and resumed the ritual that he should have completed six years ago.

DONG!

A terrifying bell toll rang out.

It was not him.

But the heavens and the earth, responding in unison.

「At the same time.」

His aura revealed itself once more.

"He’s appeared again!"

"Damn it!"

"I told you the aura I felt in the Imperial City earlier wasn’t an illusion, but you wouldn’t believe me..."

"What the hell!"

"That’s a bell toll! Is he generating powerful Dragon Qi and performing Life-taking from Heaven?"

"Good!"

"Today, we’ll make sure you die without a burial place!"

Outside the Imperial City, the five Immortal Demon Prodigies who had just left flew into a rage. They cursed Su Chen’s arrogance for completely disregarding them and charged toward the Imperial Palace once more.

However.

They quickly stopped in their tracks.

DONG! DONG! DONG!

The bell tolled, one chime after another.

Soon.

Three terrifying bell tolls had resounded between heaven and earth.

This meant that Su Chen had already performed Life-taking from Heaven three times!

But.

What terrified them was...

The tolling of the bell continued, growing faster and more urgent.

"No way!"

The five Immortal Demon Prodigies exchanged glances, a terrifying guess surfacing in their minds.

’Is this guy really going to perform Nine Times Life-taking all at once?!’

But how is that possible!

How could there be such a terrifying prodigy of Mortal Cultivation in the Human World, who could cause the heavens and earth to respond with bell tolls and take from heaven nine times the moment he achieved the Innate Realm?

"Impossible."

"He’s just a lucky country bumpkin from the Small Human World."

"How could he be so terrifying!"

"Even before performing the Innate Realm’s Life-taking, he could wipe out an expert at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Middle Realm with One Sword. After Nine Times Life-taking, to what degree will his strength surge...?"

For a moment, all five Immortal Demon Prodigies felt an immense, terrifying pressure.

’He can’t be allowed to succeed!’

’No matter what, we have to stop him!’

They charged over again, already growing anxious.

「On the other side.」

In the Sword River, White Dragon Prince Jue was being devoured by Swordfish. Even though the Two Sovereigns of Daqian had moved to help him, he paid them no mind.

It was as if he was seeking death!

However.

Jue’s gaze remained fixed on the two figures standing in the sky: the Daqian Empress and the Daqian State Preceptor.

"You’re not going anywhere."

"If you don’t save me."

"Then you can forget about resurrecting that fallen Great Immortal, my ’Empress Mother’."

Jue was smiling.

In the sky, the Daqian Empress, Le, stared daggers at Jue, looking like she wanted to eat him alive. But in the end, she still chose not to pursue Su Chen, who was so close.

Instead, she chose to step into the Heaven-Reaching Sword River to save Jue.

The Great Immortal had fallen.

Leaving behind two thoughts: one good, one evil.

The evil thought merged with Zhuo.

The good thought resides within Jue.

No matter what.

Jue could not be lost!
