Chapter 372: Reward

The moment the fire lotus left his hand, the air solidified, with no howling wind, no dazzling light, only a pressure that froze even the soul.

In an instant, it pierced the void; wherever it passed, space resembled a shattered mirror, cracks spreading wildly.

Yuan Tie desperately pulled at the chains, but it was too late; in the final instant, his pupils held only that beautiful, elegant four-color fire lotus.

Boom!

The Supreme Lotus touched Yuan Tie; instantly, Yuan Tie twisted.

Immediately after, a destructive shockwave spread like a tsunami in all directions; the four-colored light kept expanding, its brilliance so great that even the people of Connect-Heaven City could see it clearly.

Within tens of thousands of meters, mountain peaks were flattened to plains; anything touched by the light instantly turned to ash, the earth cracked, and magma surged.

After a long time.

But when the smoke cleared, only a bottomless giant pit remained on the spot, along with a lingering scorching heat in the air.

As for Yuan Tie, not even ash remained of him.

Wudi and Shen Wendao stood silently in the distance, unable to help but start thinking that if such a move struck them, they'd end up bruised all over.

After a moment, Wudi and Shen Wendao regained their composure, turned to look at Shen Qing, who was also very excited at this time.

Just as Yuan Tie had thought before, Shen Qing's cultivation was indeed insufficient—only at the third level of Martial Saint Realm, which posed no problem against ordinary mortal physiques.

But once facing a ninth-level Land Immortal Realm expert, he would be somewhat lacking; as for those who have walked the new path, Shen Qing is no match for them.

But now that the Supreme Lotus has been devised, it at least makes up for the gap in attack.

Shen Qing dares to guarantee this move: unless the opponent possesses Life Force, any expert who has just embarked on the new path will surely die.

Wudi and Shen Wendao walked over to Shen Qing: "Shen Qing, is this move called the Supreme Lotus?"

Shen Qing nodded, his eyes somewhat excited: "How about it? The power isn't bad, right?"

Wudi glanced at the pit on the ground, tens of thousands of meters wide, and said, "Just not bad? This is too terrifying."

Of course, he didn't say that out loud; Wudi gave a light cough.

"As for the power, it's barely passable."

"But how did you come up with this thing?"

Shen Qing raised his hand, and fourfold supreme power manifested: "My attack power is still insufficient; although supreme power can boost my attack power, it's merely a drop in the bucket."

"So I wondered if I could combine the four kinds of supreme power together—I never expected to actually succeed in devising it."

Wudi and Shen Wendao fell silent again; they couldn't even grasp a single kind of supreme power, while Shen Qing was contemplating the fusion of four kinds—truly, comparing people makes one angry enough to die.

However, if the power unleashed by fusing the four kinds of supreme power is like that, then it's acceptable; remember, the two words 'supreme' are not just for show.

Shen Wendao's brow showed a hint of worry: "Shen Qing, techniques that open a realm with great power usually come with severe aftereffects, let alone yours being a fusion of four kinds of supreme power—are you alright physically?"

Shen Qing rubbed his wrist: "Ancestor, don't say it; this move's aftereffects are indeed quite large."

As soon as he said that, Wudi and Shen Wendao's faces turned anxious.

Until Shen Qing's next words came out: "My meridians ache, my wrist trembles a little; I need at least half a cup of tea's time to rest."

"And after that half cup of tea?"

"Then I can continue throwing Supreme Lotuses."

Shen Wendao and Wudi rolled their eyes, "Listen, is this even human talk?"

"For a move with such tremendous power, the aftereffect is just a slight trembling of the meridians?"

"Even sleeping and getting a stiff neck is worse than this."

Wudi waved his hand: "Alright, alright, don't tease us either."

"With this move of yours, our confidence in dealing with the Primordial and Destruction Heavenly Dao is even greater."

Shen Qing looked at Wudi and Shen Wendao: "Wudi, Ancestor, do you want supreme power?"

"If you want supreme power, just speak the word, and I'll send it over right away."

On the newly obtained Chaos-level Entry Four Symbols Limit, there is another sentence that Shen Qing remembers very clearly.

Four Symbols Limit: a special entry comprehended after mastering the four kinds of supreme power, which is remarkably effective for balancing supreme power and enables sharing of supreme power.

That is precisely the last sentence: it allows sharing of supreme power.

Shen Qing also explored this a bit over the past few days, wondering what this sharing means.

Wudi's eyes lit up: "What does it mean?"

The destructive power on Shen Qing's right hand appeared at his fingertips: "This is also something I've figured out these past two days; I can lend you supreme power."

"Let you also use supreme power, but it's only a usage right, not ownership; using it will definitely not be as effortless."

"Forget it, saying more is useless; Wudi, Ancestor, feel it yourselves."

Saying more is less than trying it personally.

Shen Qing pointed a finger at Wudi, and destructive power surged toward Wudi; he pointed again, and extinction power surged toward Shen Wendao.

Both of their bodies shuddered; they looked incredulously at their own hands, feeling a violent power,

Wudi stood stunned: "This... this... this... can you really give it to me?"

While Shen Wendao was immersed in it beside them, not wanting to speak.

Shen Qing nodded: "That's right, you can use it directly, but I just said using it might not be as effortless."

Wudi nodded, face full of excitement: "Just being able to use it is fine! Just being able to use it is fine!"

"If we had this thing back then to fight evil spirits, we wouldn't need a thousand years; if we couldn't wipe them out in three days, that would count as Zhu Wu being useless!"

Shen Qing waved his hand: "Then Wudi, Ancestor, get a little familiar with it; I'll return to Great Wu for a trip, and when I come back we'll set out for the Evil Spirit World."

Wudi and Shen Wendao didn't even lift their heads, speaking perfunctorily: "Go on, go on."

Shen Qing helplessly shook his head: "Men are always like this, fond of the new and tired of the old."

Shen Qing turned and flew toward the Boundary Battlefield Passage.

This time returning to Great Wu, Shen Qing went primarily for the Karmic Heavenly Dao.

We need to verify whether the Karmic Heavenly Dao is enemy or friend, and whether it is the same as the Destructive Heavenly Dao or the Life Heavenly Dao. If it is, we'll just destroy it; Shen Qing also needs the karmic power.

If it is friendly, we also need to seize some karmic power from the Karmic Heavenly Dao.

If not for Shen Qing, the whole Karmic Heavenly Dao would have turned into the Destructive Heavenly Dao's form, so this karmic power is Shen Qing's deserved reward.
