The gaze of the True G.o.d expert was as cold and pointed out with his own Cosmic Finger.
The 2 powerful universes clashed, and the resulting force caused the avatar of Yue Zhong to crumble once more.
The True G.o.d expert"s avatar was also rocked until he lost an arm, which transformed into countless motes of light, spreading within Yue Zhong"s sea of consciousness.
Inside the sea of consciousness, Yue Zhong"s avatar had gained the advantage, absorbing the bits and pieces of the True G.o.d expert"s will, reforming swiftly once more.
This time, the reformed avatar of Yue Zhong possessed a sliver of saintly and majestic aura, exuding a powerful bearing.
As for the True G.o.d expert"s avatar, while it still seemed as imposing as ever, its aura was weaker, and within Yue Zhong"s sea of consciousness, as long as Yue Zhong"s will was indomitable, and kept reforming, the True G.o.d expert was at a disadvantage, since he could not reform. How much he expended was how much he lost.
"This time, break for me!!"
There was a look of confidence in Yue Zhong"s eyes, as he fired out the Cosmic Finger once more, pressuring the True G.o.d expert.
Even after losing the right arm, the True G.o.d expert continued to fire out another cosmic finger with his remaining arm.
The 2 forces clashed once more, but this time, the universe of the True G.o.d expert crumbled, while his body also broke down, and was absorbed by Yue Zhong"s sea of consciousness.
After the avatar of the True G.o.d expert was obliterated, Yue Zhong"s will and spirit underwent another round of baptism. With the tempering earlier, he had become stronger once more.
Making use of the G.o.d-Devil Imprint, he could absorb life force like n.o.body"s business, evolving quickly. However, in terms of the will, he had to temper himself through the countless fights and battles. Before ascending to the Type 9 realm, there was no issue with this method.
In order to break through the Type 9 bottleneck, however, and to reach the legendary Type 10 realm, he had to possess an incredible amount of will. It did not matter if it was good or evil, there was only absolute strength. Only then could one break out of the cage to control his own destiny.
After obliterating the True G.o.d expert"s will from his consciousness, Yue Zhong opened his eyes, revealing a sharper glint within them. With a thought, the fresh blood on his face disappeared. He stood up, and braving the pressure once more, he continued forward.
Since the avatar had been dealt with, the remaining will had no source, and while the pressure was still huge, it was unable to hold Yue Zhong back.
As he braved the pressure, Yue Zhong went further and deeper into the chasm, finally arriving at the deepest part of the mountain.
At the deepest part of the chasm, there was a stone with a remnant dark red color. From time to time, a strong will would diffuse out from it, adding on to the surrounding will.
Yue Zhong eyed the stone, sighing in his heart, "This should be the fresh blood of the True G.o.d expert. They cannot grow old and die, and have eternal youth, but they can still be killed by others. Seems like a True G.o.d expert is not the peak of evolution.
Yue Zhong had read up on the topic of will while in the Holy Heavens, and he reached out to grab the red stone.
When his hand came in contact with the red stone, a powerful will swarmed into his body and a.s.saulted his sea of consciousness, forming the avatar of the True G.o.d expert once more.
The same scene appeared once again, as the armored True G.o.d expert shot Yue Zhong a disdainful look and ordered, "Despicable ant!! Kneel, and submit, and I shall grant you eternal life and endless glory!!"
This was just a lingering will of the True G.o.d expert, and could only react mechanically.
With a cold look in Yue Zhong"s eyes, his avatar formed, and fired out a Cosmic Finger at the True G.o.d expert, "I"ve killed you once, I"ll kill you again!"
The lingering will had no expression, as he immediately channeled the same Cosmic Finger at Yue Zhong.
Not long after, the lingering will was destroyed by a punch of Yue Zhong.
When the True G.o.d expert was destroyed by Yue Zhong, the dark red stone in his hands also crumbled and turned to dust.
When the stone crumbled, the pressure in the tunnel disappeared without a trace.
When Maruf felt the pressure disappear, he was filled with even more envy towards Yue Zhong, "He absorbed the will?! d.a.m.n it!! It would take at least 60 years for even a half-step Type 9 powerhouse to fully absorb the core of a True G.o.d expert! How could he do it so fast?! What a freak!!"
Annie eyed Yue Zhong from afar, with shock in her eyes, "Every single fellow who could trigger the phenomenon were truly heaven-defying talents. In just a day"s time, he had actually finished consuming the will of the True G.o.d expert. His future potential is limitless. The legends are indeed true, with his capabilities, it is just a matter of time before he hits the Type 9 realm. With enough opportunities, it is not impossible for him to become a True G.o.d expert as well."
Originally, Annie was quite bitter about the fact that Yue Zhong had triggered that image, and thought that he was not necessarily her match. However, she could not help but acknowledge that the gulf between their strength was huge, and it would only grow bigger.
Ye Cha Ghost, who had been waiting at one side kneeled down, "Congratulations Master, for absorbing the will of this True G.o.d expert, from now on, your cultivation will be smooth. As long as you have gathered enough strength, you will be able to reach the half-step Type 9 realm. With additional s.p.a.ce laws, you will become a true Type 9 powerhouse."
Yue Zhong opened his eyes, as 2 sharp gleams shot out from them, and his gaze was filled with power, causing Ye Cha Ghost to be slightly fearful of looking, "Ye Cha Ghost, was the treasury you spoke of real or fake? Where"s the location?"
Ye Cha Ghost lowered his head and spoke respectfully, "Master, the treasury is real. Based on the information on hand, it is around this area. As for its exact location, I"m not too sure. However, based on the intel, there should be many entrances. There might even be one in this area."
Yue Zhong"s heart shook, as he a.s.sessed the location, "Is it here?"
The location that the True G.o.d expert"s will had been located was a flat land, and at a glance, there did not seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
"It"s right here!" With a thought, his powerful perception stretched out and scanned the area, discovering a small corner where there was a ripple of s.p.a.ce.
With a flash, Yue Zhong appeared in front of the corner, with a powerful tug, he tore a hole out of the s.p.a.ce.
Yue Zhong looked at the s.p.a.ce and frowned, giving an order to Ye Cha Ghost, "You go and test it out!"
In the Merlot Battlefield, the danger was everywhere, and Yue Zhong did not dare to walk around, thus he needed a guinea pig.
"Yes! Master!"
Ye Cha Ghost replied, and charged into the spatial tears.
In a few breaths, Ye Cha Ghost came back out, and reported, "Master, everything is normal over there, there"s a lot of resources. It is definitely a treasure ground. From my intel, it should be the treasury."
When Yue Zhong heard this, his body flickered and he flew through the spatial tear.
Xiangma Hui, Maruf and Annie shot through after Yue Zhong.
Ye Cha Ghost was left at the entrance, acting as a protector.
The moment Yue Zhong stepped through, he went through the spatial tear and appeared on the other side.
The other side was a vast place, with no end in sight, and numerous mountains forming a mountain range.
All across the land, there were many precious herbs and gra.s.ses that were filled with spiritual energy, capable of transforming a person.
Xiangma Hui looked at a particular patch of red gra.s.ses, her eyes filled with heated pa.s.sion as she charged up there. She grabbed it carefully and placed it in her storage bag, "This is the Divine Blood Gra.s.s, and legend has it that it is formed after absorbing a huge amount of blood from half-G.o.d powerhouses. It can help an expert of the Type 7 realm and above go through a metamorphosis. To Type 8 experts, it definitely is effective to a certain extent, each stalk is worth at least 10,000 contribution points. How could there be so many?"
Within the Holy Heavens, experts were numerous, and most of them had some spatial treasures. Many Holy Sons and Holy Daughters had their own spatial treasures.
Maruf looked at a particular tree in the distance, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with a strange glint as he charged over, "That"s the Lightning Pearl Jade Fruit! It is particularly helpful for cultivators who trained in lighting-attribute arts! It only bears fruit every 3,000 years, and it"s incredibly rare, to think that would be so many here?!"
