Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Time passed quickly, and half a month went by in the blink of an eye.

Jun Wuxie was immersed in the artistic conception of the Dao of符, wholeheartedly comprehending and absorbing the insights and perceptions that Master Fu Sheng had given him.

Within a few days, his Dao of 符 finally stepped into the Saint Realm, and he became a Saint符 Master.

He continuously broke through within the Saint符 Master Realm, all the way to the peak of the first level.

During this period, he naturally received no small amount of Qiankun energy bestowed upon him by Master Fu Sheng.

Five days ago, he had already reached the peak of the first level.

To this day, his realm remains stagnant there, making it difficult to break through again.

The Dao of 符 is difficult, especially the Primordial Dao of 符.

Compared to the Dao of Refining, its difficulty is clearly much higher, and the cultivation of Primordial符 patterns is even more profound and obscure.

“It seems it will be difficult to break through again in a short time…”

He had no choice but to temporarily give up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Master Fu Sheng looking at him with a face full of gratification, saying, “You demand too much of yourself. To be able to comprehend to this extent, breaking through from the tenth level peak of a Spiritual符 Master to the first level peak of a Saint符 Master, is already a very rare thing. Your talent is the highest among those who cultivate the Dao of符 that I have ever seen, without exception.”

“It seems that’s true. Now, whether it’s the Dao of符 or the Dao of Crafting, the realm is higher than my Martial Dao. Instead, the Martial Dao, which I have been cultivating all along, has fallen behind.”

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but smile wryly. The Martial Dao was his main path of cultivation, but now it had fallen to the end.

Fu Sheng's expression was solemn as he said, “The Martial Dao is different from the Dao of符. Although the threshold for entering cultivation is lower than the Dao of符, the Martial Dao places more emphasis on foundation, requiring one step at a time. Like building a building, the more solid the foundation, the higher the building can be built. As for the Dao of符, it relies more on comprehension.”

Jun Wuxie nodded.

What Master Fu Sheng said was right. Although he did not cultivate the Martial Dao, as a tenth level Saint符 Master, equivalent to an Eternal Saint Realm existence, his views and understanding of the Dao of cultivation were naturally extremely profound.

“Master Fu Sheng, Senior Divine Smith, is there no Wishful Sacred Spirit Essence reward in this eighth level?”

He was now addicted to the Wishful Sacred Spirit Essence. Breaking through with that kind of thing was really too fast.

“Yes, but are you sure you want to continue using it to break through your realm?” Divine Smith reminded, “From the first level of the Trial Tower, you have been breaking through your realm at every level. Although the Wishful Sacred Spirit Essence is very pure, breaking through too quickly in a short period of time with its help will still leave some drawbacks. This time, if you break through again, you should stop for a while in the future and settle down for a period of time before continuing.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Senior. This junior understands.”

Jun Wuxie agreed directly. He already had a cultivation plan in his heart.

That was to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Saint Realm's Extreme Heavenly Position as soon as possible, and then stop for a while to consolidate his foundation, because he would be charging into the Extreme Realm later.

At that time, he would use the True Martial Blood Pill to break into the Extreme Realm, and even directly break into the Saint King Realm.

“Continue then.”

Divine Smith waved his sleeve, and in the high sky, the void suddenly cracked open, and a massive amount of Wishful Sacred Spirit Essence poured down like a crystal waterfall, continuously pouring into Jun Wuxie's body.

Jun Wuxie opened his arms, relaxed his whole body, and enjoyed the irrigation of the Wishful Sacred Spirit Essence.

This feeling was incomparably comfortable. The massive amount of Sacred Spirit Essence entered the Martial Dao Cave Heaven, and while passing through the Natal Star, it was transformed into Life Essence by the Primordial Golden Body Art, deriving vast Blood Qi, which poured into the Star Sea and evolved into stars.

His realm was rapidly improving.

In just a quarter of an hour, when all the Wishful Sacred Spirit Essence had been condensed into stars.

Boom!

A shocking momentum erupted in his Cave Heaven, like a tsunami, the golden Blood Qi boiling, surging along the meridians to his limbs and bones, strengthening his physical body.

A large amount of Blood Qi light spewed out from his pores, golden rays diffused, bright and dazzling.

“What strong vitality!”

Fu Sheng, Divine Smith, and Hua Yi all showed surprise.

For the Blood Qi of the Saint Realm to possess such vitality could only be described as perverted.

Even the young of savage beasts and certain exotic beasts, known for their powerful physical bodies, were far from reaching this level at this realm.

“What kind of physical body technique is he cultivating…”

The three of them were very curious, but none of them asked.

Regarding the cultivation method, they had long been deeply curious.

In the previous seven levels, Jun Wuxie did not collect the Six Yang Primordial True Fire and the Extreme Cold Sacred Soul, but absorbed and fused their origins.

This must be related to the cultivation method.

What method could fuse two Primordial-level origins with completely opposite attributes?

“It seems that when he refined the Six Yang Primordial Artifact Fire, he probably used that method. It’s just that the method is a Martial Dao method, and it can actually be used to refine the Artifact Dao Fire. This is really unbelievable…”

Divine Smith was a tenth level Saint Artifact Master, equivalent to a powerhouse in the Eternal Saint Realm, with extensive knowledge, but he was also shocked by this point, exceeding his understanding.

At this time, the sound in Jun Wuxie's body subsided, and the golden light radiating from his body gradually faded away.

He opened his eyes, stretched his muscles and bones, and every inch of his flesh was filled with power.

Compared to the Dao of符 and the Dao of Crafting, he still liked the Martial Dao the most, because the feeling of the Martial Dao was different, completely coming from the strength of the physical body, without having to rely on anything between heaven and earth, he could kill powerful enemies with just his physical body.

However, he also liked the Dao of符 and the Dao of Crafting very much.

Mid-stage of the Extreme Heavenly Position of the Saint Realm!

Reaching this realm, he was finally close to catching up with the average realm of the core disciples in the border sects of the Upper Realm.

Now, below the Great Saint Realm, he was no longer afraid!

“Master Fu Sheng, Senior Divine Smith, can I go to the ninth level now?”

This Trial Tower had only one last level left.

Jun Wuxie was very much looking forward to it. The benefits he had obtained from the previous eight levels were so many, so did the ninth level have the resources accumulated by Master Fu Sheng, Senior Divine Smith, and Shiniang throughout their lives?

“What good things are you thinking about?” Fu Sheng saw through his thoughts and said, “The ninth level is not what you think. Even we rarely set foot there. There are no resources that can improve your realm, but it seals and suppresses a very powerful being!”

“Suppressing a powerful being?”

Jun Wuxie was shocked when he heard this.

Master Fu Sheng, Senior Divine Smith, and Shiniang were all powerhouses equivalent to the Eternal Saint Realm, the top existences in this Upper Realm.

They had suppressed that being to this day without killing it, which meant that the being was so strong that they could not kill it. How strong would that be?

“That’s right, a Dark Universe powerhouse at the Extreme Heavenly Position of the Eternal Saint Realm! Back then, that Dark Spirit powerhouse was too arrogant and was lured into a killing trap by the powerhouses of our world, suffering heavy injuries. However, his realm was too high. The three Eternal Saint Realm powerhouses on our side were only at the Great Heavenly Position at the time. The three of them sacrificed their blood and even self-detonated their Dao Bones, but they still failed to kill him…”

Jun Wuxie's hand on his leg involuntarily tightened.

A being from the Dark Universe!

He had a hatred engraved in his bones for the Dark Spirits who invaded the Bright Universe!

In the Lower Realm, he had died because of this and almost didn't survive.

Countless beings in the Bright Universe had been slaughtered by invading Dark Spirits throughout the ages.

In the Town Universe Tower, Ye Qingxue had become weak because of the dark powerhouses.

The turmoil that had continued for tens of thousands of years in the heavens, those dark ages, were all because of the dark powerhouses from the Dark Universe!

Those three Eternal Saint Realm powerhouses, fighting against a higher realm Dark Spirit with a lower realm, were all extraordinary figures. After all, dark energy had a suppressing effect on cultivators in the Bright Universe.

He could imagine how tragic the battle was at that time.

Three Eternal Saint Realms, sacrificing themselves!

They had never thought that they could survive after deciding to take action. They fought with the determination to die, and ultimately gave everything, but still failed to kill him.

“At that time, when Divine Smith and I arrived, it was too late. They had already turned into bloody mud, their forms and spirits destroyed. That dark powerhouse was seriously injured and his strength greatly reduced, so we were able to suppress him with符 arrays and the Eternal Saint Furnace. However, we could only trap him in the Saint Furnace space, preventing him from recovering his injuries, but we couldn't kill him, until today…”

Jun Wuxie listened to Master Fu Sheng talking about the past, and he saw a few tears in Master Fu Sheng's eyes.

Those dead Eternal Saint Realm powerhouses should be his old friends from back then, right?

Watching his old friends' forms and spirits be destroyed, that kind of feeling must be very uncomfortable.

“Master!”

Jun Wuxie grabbed Fu Sheng's hand.

“You saw your teacher make a fool of himself…” Master Fu Sheng forced a smile and said, “I just thought of those old friends from back then, those Dao friends who once fought side by side. Now they are all gone. I don't know if they still have the hope of living a second life…”

“People are not plants, how can they be without feelings, especially old friends and comrades. In that dark era, that kind of feeling should be particularly deep. How could this disciple laugh at Master for feeling sad and grieved for them? In the Lower Realm, this disciple also had old friends who passed away. In order to fight for a chance for this disciple, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own life…”

Jun Wuxie's eyes were also slightly red.

He thought of Cang Tian, and now he didn't know what the situation was like. How much he hoped that the Lower Realm's Heavenly Dao could save him.

Fu Sheng took a deep breath and said, “Another prosperous age is coming, which means that the era is coming to an end, and darkness will descend on the Upper Realm again. In this era, I don't know what the final outcome will be…”

“Give me time, I will end the darkness!”

Jun Wuxie gritted his teeth and said firmly.

Fu Sheng and Divine Smith, as well as Hua Yi, looked at him, and after a long time, slowly said, “You may become the hope of this era in the Upper Realm! For thousands of years, we have been oppressed and slaughtered by dark beings. This teacher has been holding back a breath in his heart! Are we weaker than others? We should not be weaker than others, and be subjected to oppression and slaughter! This teacher hopes that one day he will see true light and trample those dark beings under his feet!”

“There will be such a day! Since ancient times, for the sake of the eternal light of future generations, and for the Ming Universe to stand up, how many heroes have shed their heads, spilled their blood, and sacrificed their lives! They are in the front, we are in the back, following closely in the footsteps of our predecessors, and we will eventually accomplish what they failed to do!”

“Well said!”

Shen Lian patted Jun Wuxie on the shoulder, he now liked this successor even more.

“Master Fu Sheng, Mistress, Senior Shen Lian, has the aura of the dark powerhouse suppressed in the ninth level been completely cut off?”

“Don't worry, his connection with the outside world has been completely severed, otherwise it would be impossible to prevent him from healing.”

Fu Sheng responded.

“That's good, we will go to the ninth level now, this disciple may have a way to deal with him!”

Jun Wuxie stood up after speaking.

“You really have a way?”

This time, not only Shen Lian, but even Fu Sheng looked at him in shock.

In his estimation, Jun Wuxie might be able to slowly wear down his power, weakening his strength, but that would take many years.

But now, he actually said that he has a way to deal with that dark powerhouse!

“I should have one, let's go up and take a look first.”

“Okay, let's go up and take a look!”

Fu Sheng waved his sleeve, and they disappeared from the eighth level and arrived in an ancient hall.

This is the ninth level.

This hall is very empty, except for a black furnace covered with runes quietly placed deep inside, there is nothing else.

Jun Wuxie looked at the furnace, faintly feeling that there was a ferocious beast dormant inside the furnace, and he felt a chill down his spine.

“That is the Eternal Sacred Furnace.” Fu Sheng pointed to the black furnace and said, “That dark powerhouse is suppressed inside!”

They walked towards the Eternal Sacred Furnace and soon arrived in front of the furnace.

Jun Wuxie looked down and saw a vast void inside the furnace, with endless stars shining.

Between those stars, there were Rune Dao order connections, forming a special magic formation.

Inside the magic formation was a black-robed man with disheveled hair, his neck and limbs all locked by golden chains, with Primordial Runes shining on the chains.

Seeming to sense someone, the black-robed man suddenly raised his head, his messy hair sliding to both sides, revealing a face with regular features, but with extremely fierce eyes, and a fierce light bursting out from his eyes.

He stared fixedly at Fu Sheng, Shen Lian, Hua Yi, and Jun Wuxie outside the Eternal Sacred Furnace, and let out a crazy grin.

“Hahaha! Back then, you took advantage of this seat being seriously injured and trapped this seat in this formation. Over the years, you have died and your Dao has dissipated, leaving only your divine sense, but this seat is still alive! You cultivators of the Ming Universe, dreaming of fighting against my Dark Universe. Wishful thinking! This most prosperous era since ancient times is your last time, and also the era for the powerhouses of my world to enjoy a bloody feast!”

“You can't kill this seat! Once your divine sense dissipates, the moment this furnace and rune array fluctuate, this seat will be able to break free! What can you do to me?”

“It seems that the one who is wishful thinking is you. You still want to break free. I'm afraid you won't live.”

Jun Wuxie looked coldly at the dark powerhouse suppressed in the rune formation inside the Eternal Sacred Furnace, and said, “Having lingered on for countless years, you are about to usher in the end of death!”

The dark powerhouse glanced at Jun Wuxie slightly, then shifted his gaze to Fu Sheng, and mocked, “Fu Sheng, is this ant in the Saint Realm that you specially found to amuse this seat?”

Fu Sheng ignored the dark powerhouse, pulled Jun Wuxie back a distance, and looked at him with a solemn expression, saying, “How is it, are you confident?”

Jun Wuxie did not directly answer, but asked, “Can Master use Rune Dao to wrap him out of the rune formation?”

“To release him, that's impossible!”

“Master, do you believe me?”

Jun Wuxie looked into his eyes, Fu Sheng met his gaze, and after a moment, nodded: “You are my only successor, and you also resisted the invasion of the Dark Universe Small Realm in the Lower Realm. This master naturally believes you, but this matter is no small matter!”

“I have a mysterious space in my body. When the time comes, I will open the space, and Master will use the rune formation to wrap him out. I can instantly take him in!”

“You really have confidence?”

Fu Sheng was very shocked in his heart. What kind of space is that, that can do anything to a dark powerhouse at the peak of the Eternal Saint Realm?

“Of course I do. Not to mention him, even if someone stronger than him goes in, they can only coil up and lie down!”

“Okay, then do as you say. When the time comes, you prepare and tell me!”

Fu Sheng walked towards the Eternal Sacred Furnace again, and Jun Wuxie followed.

The dark powerhouse was still laughing wildly inside, provoking crazily, his eyes were森 cold and violent.

“Aunt You.”

Jun Wuxie secretly contacted Suzaku.

“Young Master.”

Suzaku's intellectual and gentle voice sounded in his mind.

“The Eternal Divine Palace cannot bring in living flesh and blood beings, right?”

“It's not that it can't, but the secrets of the Eternal Divine Palace cannot be exposed. Therefore, any living being who comes in should not think about living to go out, unless it is someone you can completely control, without any risk of exposure.”

“So, it has nothing to do with whether it is a flesh and blood body?”

Jun Wuxie only understood today that this was the case.

Back then, Lieyang Flower could be successfully collected into the Eternal Divine Palace, as well as the Fire Dragon and the Small Realm Tree.

Thinking about it, Qingxue and Aunt You knew that they would not expose secrets, so they acquiesced.

But what he couldn't understand was why when he asked Ye Qingxue to treat Yue Yao back then, Ye Qingxue said that Yue Yao couldn't enter. Could it be that Yue Yao was not trustworthy?

“Don't misunderstand the Princess, it's not that she doesn't trust Yue Yao, but that Yue Yao's origin is not as simple as you think. She is trustworthy, but she is involved in great karma, and there are still things we are not sure about. The Princess did not take action to save Yue Yao, and it is the same. There is karmic entanglement between you and Yue Yao, which is not something we should intervene in. You will understand in the future.”

Jun Wuxie nodded and said nothing more about this matter, and immediately asked, “I am now going to take a dark powerhouse at the peak of the Eternal Saint Realm into the Divine Palace. Aunt You, please open the door of convenience for me.”

“Come on.”

Suzaku didn't say much, only responded with two short words.

Jun Wuxie was overjoyed in his heart, this time that dark powerhouse was dead.

“You can't kill this seat, this seat will eventually break free, and then I will slaughter all the creatures in the Upper Realm!”

The dark powerhouse roared inside the rune formation, his voice森 cold and cruel.

“Master, get ready, let's start!”

Jun Wuxie opened the Eternal Divine Palace, but others couldn't see it, and at the same time he said to Suzaku, “Aunt You, give me a hand, help me suck that guy in later. That guy is too strong, I'm afraid I will miss!”

“Okay.”

Jun Wuxie knew that there would be no suspense after receiving such a response.

“Wuxie, I'm about to start!”

Master Fu Sheng's divine sense came from his mind.

Jun Wuxie immediately nodded to him.

At this time, thousands of runes rushed out from between Fu Sheng's palms and instantly submerged into the rune formation.

The position where the dark powerhouse was trapped suddenly revealed a small rune formation, and before he could react, he was directly wrapped out.

Such a scene made Shen Lian and Hua Yi's hearts jump and their faces changed drastically.

“Hahaha, you dare to… Ah!!”

The dark creature found that Fu Sheng had actually wrapped himself out of the rune formation, and immediately laughed wildly, thinking that he could regain his freedom, but an invisible force instantly sucked him into an unknown space.

At that moment, he felt creepy, his spine was cold, his liver and gallbladder were splitting, and he let out a scream of horror.

But this scream was very short, and disappeared instantly, just as his body disappeared the moment he left the rune formation.

“Ah!! Where is this, where is this?”

Inside the Eternal Divine Palace, the dark powerhouse's body shook violently, and all the chains on his body snapped.

His whole body was trembling, and a terrifying pressure permeated here, making his body and mind uncontrollably tremble. The fear from the depths of his soul almost made him collapse.

“Weren't you just clamoring that you couldn't be killed?”

Jun Wuxie's voice was transmitted into the Divine Palace.

The dark powerhouse suddenly looked at the surrounding void, trying to find the location of the speaker, but he couldn't find it no matter what.

“It's you, that ant in the Saint Realm!”

His eyes burst out with fierce light, and he roared: “Where is this! Do you think that by tricking this seat into a space with a terrible oppressive aura, you can do anything to this seat?”

At this time, Suzaku, dressed in golden and red feathers, appeared out of thin air, looking indifferently at the dark powerhouse roaring there.

The moment the dark powerhouse saw her, his whole body stiffened, his pupils dilated rapidly, and then his body softened and he slumped to the ground, constantly convulsing and trembling, and large amounts of sweat soaked his black robe.

Jun Wuxie also appeared beside Suzaku.

He would naturally not enter the Divine Palace when Aunt You was not out.

After all, that dark powerhouse was an existence in the Eternal Saint Realm. Not to mention taking action, even a trace of the overflowing murderous aura could collapse him into blood mud, which was not at the same level at all.

“Young Master, you've lost weight.”

Suzaku looked at Jun Wuxie and gently stroked his face, “The Upper Realm is different from the Lower Realm. The rules of the universe are stronger. You are only in the Saint Realm now, so you still need to rest properly and not cultivate day and night.”

“Aunt You, your hands are so warm.”

Jun Wuxie grabbed her soft hand that was貼 on his face.

Suzaku smiled lightly and said, “Aunt You is the Suzaku Emperor, cultivating the Suzaku Divine Flame. If it's not warm, then Aunt You is probably about to die.”

“Nonsense, Aunt You will live as long as the heavens and the earth, no, even if the universe lives and dies, Aunt You will be eternally immortal!”

“You're glib, but you're right. Cultivating to Aunt You's realm has already transcended the endless universe. Unless you die in battle against someone, otherwise you will be eternally immortal.”

“So I didn't say anything wrong.” Jun Wuxie smiled and said, “Where's Qingxue?”

"The princess is in seclusion, comprehending her art of war. Young Master should take the time to seek out the remaining Primordial Divine Metal, to repair the Tower of Suppression, so the princess can be freed and return to her peak state as soon as possible."

"I know. I will strive to find them. But Primordial Divine Metal is naturally self-obscuring, making it difficult to locate. I still need Aunt You to spend some time sensing its existence and guiding me."

"Aunt You will," the Vermilion Bird said, looking at the dark powerhouse who was so frightened that he was paralyzed on the ground, unable to move. "This one, how does Young Master plan to deal with him?"

"Kill the soul, keep the body for me as cultivation resources."

"Who are you? Who exactly are you?!"

The dark powerhouse knew he was doomed, but he was not reconciled.

He couldn't understand how that unfathomable woman, who could suppress the dark energy within him with just a wisp of her aura, would call a mere Saint Realm ant 'Young Master'!

Who exactly was this damned brat, and what was his background?

"Who am I? I am the future terminator of you dark creatures."

As his voice fell, the dark powerhouse suddenly widened his eyes, his body convulsed a few times, and then he stopped moving.

"Dead?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned. He didn't see Aunt You make a move, but the dark powerhouse's soul had dissipated, turning into a corpse. He was indeed dead.

"Aunt You, did you kill him with your mind?"

The Vermilion Bird smiled faintly, taking it as an answer.

"Young Master, having just arrived in the Upper Realm, your cultivation is still shallow. Be careful and cautious in everything you do."

The Vermilion Bird took his hand and exhorted, "Find some time to study the Eight-Nine Mysterious Palace. It should be useful to you."
