Chapter 589 556: Golden Crystal (Two-in-One)_2
Infinite Mountain, akin to a Great Mountain attacking enemies; Creation Map, containing the mysteries of creation and destruction.
These thirty-three Magical Treasures, each with its divine marvels, each with its own Xuanji, focusing on strength, speed, defense, explosiveness, attack power, recovery, predictive power, agility, mana storage, and danger perception, can be combined to amplify one's combat power and transform into ultimate attack power.
Crash!
Crash!
Accompanied by the leak of Sixth Grade aura, tribulation surged in the void, clouds of destruction gathered, golden lightning flashed, flames fluctuated within, Nightmare Wind brewed changes, and golden energy transformed into Divine Soldiers.
Dark clouds continuously expanded, quickly reaching a range of a thousand miles.
After a quarter of an hour, they seemed to be fully concentrated, and the tribulation surged, descending.
Thunderbolts crashed down, destruction descended.
It seemed the Heaven and Earth would not allow, wanting to completely destroy the thirty-three Magical Treasures.
The Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure flickered, their life force connected, spinning in cycles of creation and destruction, continually absorbing the Power of Thunder, refining themselves within.
The tribulation intensified, destruction continued.
The strength of the tribulation had already surpassed the typical Divinity Transformation Tribulation.
Wave after wave, after ten days, the tribulation dissipated.
Buzz buzz buzz!
At this moment, the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure flickered, entering his body, and this set of Magical Treasures finally stepped into the Sixth Grade.
After Sixth Grade, even stronger.
At this moment, Lu Xuanji's confidence surged, feeling compelled to battle against a Half-Step Void Refining, comparing who was stronger, who was more invincible.
"Time to return and see!"
A figure flickered, Lu Xuanji disappeared.
...
"Black Robe is dead!"
In the Cave Mansion, Long Aotian had just finished his retreat but after a faint calculation, sighed.
What was meant to happen, had happened; what was not meant to happen, also happened.
The old uncle still went to hunt Lu Xuanji.
In result, fell.
Crack!
In that moment, the void flickered, and a black box fell into his hands.
Long Aotian opened the box, finding a golden crystal within.
At that moment, from the golden crystal came Black Robe's voice: "Young Master, do not grieve for me. If you open this golden crystal, it signifies my demise. Do not grieve for me. At that time, when I was your Companion Demon, born before you, watched you grow in the following years!"
"Without your Demon Qi, I could not have grown. In my eyes, you are the sky, you are everything!"
"This time, I aimed to probe Lu Xuanji. If I could kill him, that would naturally be best. If unable, at least gather some information about him for you. Young Master, be cautious!"
The voice faded away, followed by a scene appearing.
In the scene, there was the confrontation between Black Robe and Lu Xuanji, then Lu Xuanji killing him.
The scene very detailed, real.
This was the final gift from Black Robe.
Know the enemy and oneself, hundred battles and victories.
Many times, there's no ultimate Divine Technique, only mutual restraint.
Many strong beings hide their trump cards and details, for if the enemy becomes familiar with one's Divine Techniques, killing moves, etc., they might devise counter strategies.
In battles, sometimes with minimal cost, one can kill a mortal enemy.
"Black Robe, you truly are foolish!"
Long Aotian spoke, eyes slightly moist.
Unwillingly recalling the past.
On the eve of his father's Ascension, he was still an egg.
His father placed him into a Secret Realm, and around the egg, set up various superior Arrays to channel Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, nurturing its growth and offering some protection.
Around the egg, nine Spirit Grasses were planted, guarding the surroundings.
These Spirit Grasses absorbed the demon qi leaking from the eggshell, in the following years, some remained Spirit Grasses, still growing; but five Spirit Grasses developed intelligence, later transforming into human form.
These five Spirit Grasses transformed gradually, becoming his Companion Demons, his servants, and closest beings.
Due to their earlier birth and being nurtured by the qi from the Candle Dragon egg, they were exceptionally talented, with extraordinary qualifications, steadily cultivating to higher realms.
Black Robe was one of them.
Sadly, now Black Robe had fallen.
"Lu Xuanji, with you, my enmity is irrevocable!"
Long Aotian spoke, filled with killing intent, seeming like he wanted to tear Lu Xuanji apart.
The Cultivation Immortality Realm has never been a world of reason, favoring kinship over logic, and after killing his Companion Demon, his closest companion, Lu Xuanji must be eradicated.
Restraining his thoughts, Long Aotian continued examining the golden crystal.
On it, there were Lu Xuanji's Divine Secret Techniques, Magical Treasures, combat modes, etc.
"So powerful, so powerful!"
Long Aotian exclaimed, feeling uncomfortable looking at the golden crystal.
Though he wanted to remain obstinate, the truth was, he couldn't defeat Lu Xuanji.
If confronting Lu Xuanji, it would only result in death.
During their Golden Core Peak encounter, there was some difference, but not too significant; yet now, not only hasn't the gap closed, it's constantly widening.
"Nine Transformations of Fish and Dragon is a Supreme Level Divine Technique, left by Immortals, forming nine clones with power, Divine Techniques, and Secret Techniques matching the main body, the only drawback being the huge mana consumption to sustain the clones, mostly unable to last long!"
"Additionally, when attacked, the main body's damage shifts to the clones, substituting the main body's death. Essentially, one must consecutively kill Lu Xuanji nine times to completely eradicate him."
"Furthermore, that set of Magical Treasures consists of thirty-three pieces, combining to amplify power, shifting damage or spreading it onto other treasures. A single treasure's attack power equals First-Layer Divinity Transformation, but through the combined power of thirty-three treasures, it rivals Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation!"
"Moreover, leveraging these treasures for enhancement, Lu Xuanji originally was at Fourth-Layer Divinity Transformation, yet thanks to the treasures' power, forcibly elevated to Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation, combat power reaching Half-Step Void Refining, two punches were enough to kill Black Robe!"
Long Aotian contemplated, pondering the method to counteract.
Nine Transformations of Fish and Dragon is formidable but consumes enormous mana.
The Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure is aggressively potent, also somewhat terrifying.
But once you break equilibrium, losing that amplifying effect, they're merely thirty-three slightly stronger Magical Treasures.
"Lu Xuanji, wait for me!"
...
At that moment, intense commotion emanated from the Eastern Supreme Hall, accompanied by a mournful cry.
The struggle of Golden Crow Great Venerable grew feeble, his aura dwindled, finally after three days of struggle, with a crisp sound.
Golden Crow Great Venerable fell!
Spending a full one hundred and fifty years to refine and kill him.
"He finally perished, hahaha, in the end, the victor is me!"
"I passed my Human Tribulation!"
In the moment of Golden Crow Great Venerable's death, East Pole Celestial Venerable laughed heartily.
Once, from Golden Core they fought blood feuds, through Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, and sparred over a hundred times, each claiming victories and defeats.
Several times Golden Crow Great Venerable relentlessly pursued, almost killing him;
and several times, he hunted Golden Crow Great Venerable, leaving him battered.
His Dao Companion died at Golden Crow Great Venerable's hands;
Golden Crow Great Venerable's daughter was also killed by him and refined into soup.
Their battles of blood feuds, finally concluded with Golden Crow Great Venerable's fall.
With Golden Crow Great Venerable's demise, East Pole felt immense ease, as if having eaten a Divine Fruit.
At this moment, the Human Tribulation was passed.
The aura upon him changed, the constraining bottleneck vanished, cultivation elevated by another step.
At this moment, time to resolve Lu Xuanji, cannot let him continue to grow.
