Chapter 1484 - Divine Eternal Fist
Even though Liu Wuxie had forged the Heavenly Deity Monument in his past life, he carried no memory of it in his present one. He had heard that some cultivators could awaken past-life memories once their cultivation reached a certain level, but he still didn't know whether that rumor held any truth.
For now, Liu Wuxie could only grope forward because his understanding of the Heavenly Deity Monument remained stuck in the exploratory stage, and he remained too weak to wield it.
To control a quasi-immortal artifact, he needed more than immortal energy; he also needed a vast quantity of immortal runes. Immortal energy wasn't the issue, since his desolate world held quite a lot of it.
The real problem lay with immortal runes, as he possessed only a handful of them.
He had only two ways to obtain immortal runes—he could enter the celestial realm, where immortal runes lay everywhere, or he could hunt immortals, refine them, and seize the immortal runes from their bodies.
Whether he chose the first method or the second, both remained nothing but fantasy for the current Liu Wuxie.
He would return to the Fleeting Cloud Celestial Realm sooner or later, and he had already begun laying the groundwork for that day.
Since he couldn't use the Heavenly Deity Monument for the time being, the Divine Eternal Fist became his strongest offensive technique without question.
The moment he invoked it, he felt the true essence and immortal energy in the desolate world draining at a terrifying pace, and it drained far faster than he had imagined.
The moment the Heavenly Deity Monument merged into the desolate world, the desolate world expanded threefold, and he needed to refine three thousand astral crystals to fill it. Yet he never expected a single punch to drain all his true essence.
If the Heavenly Deity Monument hadn't fused into the desolate world and expanded it, the Divine Eternal Fist alone would have turned him into a mummy.
In that case, he wouldn't have died at the hands of the Dark Evil Emperor and the others—he would have died to the Divine Eternal Fist itself.
