Chapter 379: Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill Thirteenth Layer—I, the Young Master, Have Arrived!

The primordial's body gradually turned into black mist and disappeared into the air; Kai Er flopped onto the ground, suffering the worst injuries from the start of the fight to now, his body pierced several times by the annihilation spear, he lay on his back without regard for image, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Did we win?"

In the millennium-long battle against the evil spirits, Kai Er lost much, lost friends, and even among his descendants several geniuses died on the battlefield.

Now, the fervor and madness of the recent battle faded, and Kai Er's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Shen Wendao and the Martial Emperor's gazes were also somewhat dazed.

Shen Qing showed little expression; while they were dazed and sighing, he kept absorbing the annihilation power left after the primordial's death.

Just then, while absorbing, Shen Qing noticed Li Lun off to the side, also dazed, who had also contributed greatly in this battle.

Shen Qing spoke: "Li Lun? I have a question: why did you exert so much effort in this battle?"

Although Li Lun is human, Shen Qing could be certain of one thing: Li Lun does not come from this human civilization that Shen Qing belongs to, because his cultivation is not primordial qi.

So he had no reason to intervene.

Li Lun rubbed the back of his head, gave an embarrassed smile: "Saying it out loud, I'm not afraid of your ridicule."

"Our Heaven-defiers aren't many in number, and many beings have joined for endless ages, already forming their own small groups; I only joined a few hundred years ago, so I also find it hard to blend in."

"So I also want to find a few people I can somewhat trust."

Of course someone would say, lone beasts roam, while cattle and sheep gather in herds.

Li Lun used to think that way too; in his own civilization, he was a standout genius, with no peer to match him, and even after breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm, he never had teammates.

Only after he grasped the Supreme Power and joined the Heaven-defiers did he realize that all beings here are ferocious beasts, basically stronger than him, and they travel in packs.

Going it alone, no opportunity could outweigh other groups.

For example, trying to slay the Heavenly Dao or other powerful beings, he could not do it alone.

Shen Qing glanced at Li Lun: "You're very frank; I like that."

"Moreover, you contributed greatly in this battle; I won't forget it."

"There's another question."

"Where will these Heavenly Daos go after I defeat them?"

Li Lun pondered for a moment: "To be honest, I'm not entirely sure; I haven't been in the Heaven-defiers long, so many things are still unknown to me."

"It seems they will be reborn, though it takes a long time."

"But if you go, there should be beings within the Heaven-defiers willing to explain things clearly to you."

As he spoke, Li Lun turned his gaze to the Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao: "After all, their power is too monstrous, and those who forge a new path seem to have another way forward; there are even people in the Heaven-defiers who specialize in researching new paths."

"If they went there, they'd surely be very welcome, for their new path is too terrifying."

Li Lun then turned his gaze to Shen Qing: "As for you, a third‑level Martial Saint Realm possessor…"

He didn't finish the rest, but those who understand know that the strength of a third‑level Martial Saint Realm expert who has forged a new path cannot be put into words.

Shen Qing nodded: "Alright, then after we finish things here, let's go check out the Heaven-defiers organization."

Li Lun's face lit up with excitement: "Great."

The Heaven-defiers also offer a reward for this; bringing back four controllers of the Supreme Power at once will earn him a substantial bounty.

Suddenly Li Lun thought of something: "Oh, right, Shen Qing! When the time comes, you must not display too much of the Supreme Power!"

"Showing just two is enough! Don't let too many people know you can master four Supreme Powers."

"An innocent man is guilty only for carrying a jade; this saying holds true anywhere."

Shen Qing nodded: "Understood; as long as any being who knows I have four Supreme Powers is killed, that's fine, right?"

Li Lun stared blankly, wondering if his own earlier words meant that.

But before he could finish speaking, Shen Qing waved his hand and walked away; the annihilation power left by the primordial had been fully absorbed, so next he would go find that precious fruit he had seen in the Heavenly Dao's cause and effect.

Shen Qing left a remark: "Martial Emperor, Old Ancestor, and Senior Kai Er, the aftermath of these evil spirits is yours to handle; I'm going to cultivate."

Having said that, Shen Qing took a step and directly turned into a white line of cause and effect, scattering away.

The Martial Emperor, Shen Wendao, and Kai Er exchanged glances, none speaking, as Li Lun approached: "Indeed, it's a dilemma; I estimate there are still at least billions of evil‑spirit beings in this world."

The Martial Emperor stroked his chin: "Indeed, it's a bit of a dilemma; where should we start the slaughter?"

Li Lun stared blankly again: "You intend to kill them all?"

Kai Er rolled his eyes: "Why keep them alive? I don't think this horde of evil spirits would treat humans kindly in our world."

Moreover, slaughter and annihilation are already ingrained in their bones; if we spare them, are we just waiting for them to launch a new war?

On another side, Shen Qing, aided by the karma threads, swiftly crossed the endless distance to reach the core of the evil‑spirit world.

Here the temperature is high, lava everywhere, and an immeasurable amount of evil qi permeates the air.

Of course, this is merely a facade.

Shen Qing raised his hand, tore open the void, stepped inside, and following the karma threads found a space hidden by the Destruction Heavenly Dao, where that precious fruit was cultivated by the Destruction Heavenly Dao.

This faint purplish precious fruit pulsed like a heartbeat, with black markings on its surface flickering on and off.

Like the World Tree, this precious fruit absorbs the world's energy to grow itself.

Of course, this precious fruit is far from mature; otherwise the Destruction Heavenly Dao would have eaten it to repair itself.

But only then could it benefit Shen Qing.

As for waiting for this fruit to ripen? That would take at least hundreds of years, which means nothing to Shen Qing.

Eating this fruit now is enough for a breakthrough; when he's stronger he can just look for another fruit, for the world is vast—there's certainly more than one Heavenly Dao like the Life Heavenly Dao and the Destruction Heavenly Dao!

Therefore, Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill Thirteenth Layer—I, the Young Master, have arrived!
