Chapter 412: The Final Battle
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Minghe found it a shame that all the Fruits of Stars of the Origin were blown to pieces. But compared with the Star Tree of the Origin, they did not matter. The Star Tree of the Origin could beat all of Minghe"s Fated Chances in the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons.
After the peace was restored, Minghe showed up again in the Void. The Three Separations had been a.s.sembled by Minghe. Selfcentric Separation Musen was fine since he had not helped much. But Good Separation and Evil Separation were different, one changed the planet"s course and the other shifted the Karma. They were both worn out and needed time to recover.
Minghe went back beside the sun and moon, then he fetched the two Fruits of Stars that bore the Origin of the sun and moon. The Three Separations respectively received three fruits. They were at the Early Stage of the Fate Realm, and three fruits were enough for them.
Holding the sun and moon Fruits of Stars, Minghe felt the hot and cold power from the sun and moon gathering around. The two fruits also reacted to the Origin power, as if they were connected by an invisible thread. They might have flown into the stars without Minghe"s supernatural power control.
Looking at the two fruits in his hand, Minghe did not hesitate to swallow them. Once the two fruits entered his body, the mighty hot and cold power filled Minghe"s body with the solar and lunar Origins. Minghe had expected this, but the solar and lunar power was too overwhelming.
Additionally, after swallowing the two Fruits of Stars of the Origin, he felt that he belonged to the sun and moon. The Power of Stars quickly gathered around Minghe. When they entered Minghe"s body and met with the fruits, they exploded as if Mars was falling into a bucket full of gasoline.
The mixed solar and lunar powers spread over Minghe"s body. His body was burnt once and frozen once. And sometimes, it was even half-frozen and half-burnt. However, no matter what they did, it would not really hurt his body.
As Minghe converted the mighty solar and lunar powers and Origins, both Minghe"s body and Original Spirit were growing by leaps and bounds. You could say that now every second of practice was equal to that of 100 years in the past. Moreover, the Power of Stars of the sun and moon poured into Minghe. He was really having the time of his life.
After 1,000 years, Minghe broke out in strength. His Indestructible Demon Body broke through again. Converting the Yin and Yang power and the sun and moon Origins, his body was already at the Late Stage of the Fate Realm, and his Original Spirit almost reached the Peak of the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm. With more cultivation, it was easy for him to break through to the Late Stage of the Fate Realm.
He checked his Three Separations and found that Heaven and Earth Taoist had recovered and Musen seemed to have reached the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm with the help of three Fruits of Stars of the Origin. As for Red Lotus Taoist, he still needed some time because of the large Origin consumption. He might need tens of thousands of years to fully recover himself.
It was high time that Minghe got revenge for himself. Though Red Lotus Taoist was not completely recovered, Hongjun was also injured now. In the end, Minghe had the upper hand and would not miss this opportunity. Minghe stroked in the air and said, "The thread of Karma."
A crimson thread appeared in front of Minghe out of the blue. The thread connected Minghe and Hongjun. It was their Karma and was the only thread left. Moreover, it was not some ordinary Karma thread, but rather an inseparable lethal thread.
Before, when Minghe transferred the almighty expert"s Karma onto Hongjun, most of their Karma was destroyed, except for the life-and-death thread. To get rid of the thread, one of them had to die. Now, Minghe was going to end it with Hongjun.
Following the thread, Minghe soon found the familiar Zixiao Palace on a planet. He had guessed that Hongjun would not leave the Starry Sky Region in order to grow the Star Tree of the Origin seedling. Judging from the unceasing Power of Stars flow, Hongjun must have succeeded.
Looking at the Zixiao Palace in front of him, Minghe waved his hands and a set of Flags of Formation disappeared into the Void. Immediately, the Three Separations emerged and then entered the Void as well. Minghe refined the Flags of Formation recently, which bore a tactical formation named the Forbidding Spell of Sealing the Sky Formation. His Three Separations commanded the formation to seal the nearby s.p.a.ce to keep Hongjun from escaping.
After setting up, Minghe patted his hands forward and a giant Blood Qi Palmprint also patted the Zixiao Palace. The whole planet shook but the Zixiao Palace remained intact. It turned out that Minghe"s Blood Qi Palmprint had been warded off by the defense tactical formation limit.
Minghe stared into the Zixiao Palace coldly, as if he had seen through it and Hongjun was right in front of him. Minghe said in a cold voice, "Come out, Hongjun. You trapped me before and put me in a dangerous situation. Now, it"s time to finish our Karma." His words were full of killing intent.
Inside the Zixiao Palace, Hongjun gasped upon seeing Minghe. First, he did not expect that Minghe would track him down so soon. Second, Minghe was not badly injured. Otherwise, Minghe could not recover in a short 1,000 years. Minghe"s words showed his intentions clearly—he had come here to finish him.
Usually, Hongjun did not need to worry. But now, his Origin was badly injured and he could not perform at his best. Moreover, he did not know Minghe"s hidden tricks. If Minghe had a.s.sistants other than the Separation Beast at the Peak of the Fate Realm, he would be in an unfavorable situation.
When he first saw Minghe, Hongjun wanted to run, after all, he was still wounded. But seeing the overwhelming spatial barrier, he knew he could not escape. Apparently, Minghe would not let him do that and was going to finish him here. Hongjun could only fight.
Hongjun dashed forward and landed in the Starry Sky, then reached out to collect his Zixiao Palace. He gazed at Minghe in the distance and replied in a deep voice, "Minghe, are you sure you want this? We"ll both suffer if we really fight to the death."
Minghe laughed at his words. "We"ll both suffer? No, only one will suffer, and that is you. When you plotted against me, you were doomed. Moreover, you seem to have injured your Origin. You can"t make me suffer, can you?" Minghe had discovered that Hongjun"s vital force was weak.
Hongjun"s face turned slightly pale. Minghe was right. When he was at his best, Hongjun would not hesitate to act. But now, he was unable to easily scare Minghe away. Thus, he could only fight, and Hongjun held his sword firmly.
Minghe noticed that the sword had been used to chop off the branch of the Star Tree of the Origin. It now bore several cracks on its blade from the injury. Still, Minghe would not take the sword lightly.
Minghe reached out to summon the Anti-evil Axe. The axe was a Highest Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, only one grade lower than Hongjun"s sword. Minghe had companion treasures, the Anti-evil Axe and Soul-freezing Gourd. In the aspect of attacking, only the Anti-evil Axe could compete with the sword.
Minghe wielded the axe and shouted, "Split the Heaven and Earth." The strike changed everything around like the Creation of Heaven and Earth. It had the aura like the Creation of Heaven and Earth by Great Divinity Pangu. The axe split the Starry Sky and went for Hongjun, shattering everything in its way. Ripples of power wavered in the sky.
Hongjun reacted and struck out with his long sword. The sword trembled with strong fate power, as though it had cut off fate. It was indeed a wild Divine Law. The Law of Fate was a top law among the 3,000 laws. It was superior to the Law of Blood and Law of Spiritual Beings.
When the axe and the sword clashed, a strong power spread around. Everything in its way was destroyed, and several planets broke in the aftermath. However, Minghe and Hongjun were still even. No one seemed to gain the upper hand. It looked like this overwhelming battle was going to last.
Since one strike did not succeed, Minghe launched another. He chopped at Hongjun incessantly, and Hongjun fought back hard. With his highly-graded sword, Hongjun fought closely and fiercely with Minghe. The clashes were so phenomenal that s.p.a.ce was shattered several times.
