Chapter 768: Forbidden Divine Ability: Slashing Heaven Blade

Time passed in a flash; in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had gone by.

The Dark Continent remained dark, completely deathly silent, without any changes whatsoever.

Deep within the Dark Continent.

One hundred miles underground.

Yin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly: "Prehistoric Immortal Dao, late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal; Shenmu World Martial Dao, late-stage Against Heaven Realm; plus the late-stage Eight-Nine Profound Art—even if Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord joined forces, I fear they would not be my match."

Unknowingly, he had already cultivated into the number one person beneath the Heavenly Dao.

It was just that breaking through further from here was not something that could be done in a short time.

Yin Qi continued to close his eyes, preparing to steal Heaven Power to cultivate a divine ability. Since this divine ability could be brought back to the Primordial World, he attached extra importance to it, even planning to use up his merit.

This kind of opportunity to condense a peerless divine ability could only be found in the Shenmu World.

……

Above the Dark Continent, although it was deathly silent.

Yet within this silence, it contained endless vitality.

This vitality consisted of the Living Being Power left behind after living beings died, as well as the endless Heaven Power scattered down by the Heavenly Dao.

For a cultivator, stealing Heaven is, in fact, perceiving the Living Being Power left behind after living beings die.

Because these powers were originally used by the Heavenly Dao to nourish itself after it annihilated all living beings.

Heaven annihilates living beings, and living beings can also annihilate Heaven.

The Living Being Power left behind after living beings die is both a nourishment for the Heavenly Dao and a poison for the Heavenly Dao.

If someone can perceive the Living Being Power, they can cultivate a Forbidden Divine Ability, which has powerful efficacy against the Heavenly Dao.

When were the strongest born?

It was after the Great Destruction, at the beginning of the Opening of Heaven.

Figures like Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord all created various Forbidden Divine Abilities during this time.

……

Time passed in a flash; another ten years went by.

Yin Qi opened his eyes again, but he frowned.

He could sense the omnipresent Heaven Power, but he could never sense the Living Being Power.

Could it be that the method was wrong?

Yin Qi reflected secretly.

Logically speaking, with his King Grade Immortal Bone level comprehension, he was absolutely top-tier in the Shenmu World; he shouldn't be unable to sense the Living Being Power. It was only possible that the method was wrong.

Living beings are annihilated by the Heavenly Dao, so before they die, besides fear, there should also be hatred toward the Heavenly Dao.

It is precisely because of the existence of this hatred that once the Living Being Power is perceived by someone, the Forbidden Divine Ability they cultivate can restrain the Heavenly Dao.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi secretly realized.

To perceive the Living Being Power, one must first perceive the suffering of living beings and the wishes of living beings.

Only by becoming a part of them can one receive the gift of their power.

Yin Qi adjusted his emotions in time.

Gradually, he began to sense the incomparably vast Living Being Power permeating the Dark Continent.

This Living Being Power was not spiritual power, but countless very pure intentions: fear, hatred, madness, despair, and so on.

When the Great Destruction arrived, facing this natural disaster, the various negative emotions within people were magnified to the extreme.

The Heavenly Dao is transformed from the thought power of living beings, so for it, the best nourishment is not spiritual power, but the pure intentions left behind after living beings die.

As long as the thought power is strong enough, the Heavenly Dao can mobilize endless Heaven and Earth power.

Amidst the vast negative intentions of living beings, Yin Qi's consciousness swam through them, feeling every kind of extreme negative emotion while keeping his mind guarded to avoid being assimilated.

Gradually, a mysterious and profound feeling surged into Yin Qi's heart.

Naturally, he comprehended a divine ability: the Slashing Heaven Blade, formed by gathering the pure intentions of living beings to annihilate Heaven.

Compared to the Ruthless Blade comprehended by Chen Nan in the original work, Yin Qi's Slashing Heaven Blade was not inferior at all.

However, Yin Qi was not satisfied. Just as the Slashing Heaven Blade was condensing into shape, he unhesitatingly used up all ten meters of Great Dao Merit. Immediately, waves of mysterious feelings assaulted his heart, and the Slashing Heaven Blade began to undergo a transformation.

When the Great Dao Merit was completely exhausted, the Slashing Heaven Blade was also thoroughly formed.

As Yin Qi's mind stirred, a primitive, purple-blue long blade appeared before him, and then a terrifyingly extreme Blade Intent soared into the sky; the layers of Array Formations he had set up were like paper.

……

Clang! Clang!

This Heaven.

A terrifyingly extreme Blade Intent suddenly erupted from deep within the calm Dark Continent, sweeping across the Eight Desolations and plunging into the endless Chaos, startling all cultivators awake.

The higher one's cultivation, the more their heart palpitated, as if some great, terrifying object had been born.

"What is going on? Where is such a terrifying Blade Intent coming from?"

"Heavens, could it be that some peerless treasure blade is about to be born? Just the Blade Intent alone is stirring the Chaos into endless turmoil!"

"It came from the Dark Continent."

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... book.... bar....!

"Such a terrifying Blade Intent has already far exceeded the aura of the Shenmo Taiji Diagram from back then. How could there be such a peerless Heavenly Blade in the world!"

"What a terrifying Blade Intent; it faintly carries the intent to slash Heaven... This is no peerless Heavenly Blade; someone has cultivated a supreme Forbidden Divine Ability! Who exactly is it? It's too terrifying, too terrifying."

"It has been no more than a hundred years since the Great Destruction, and someone has already succeeded in stealing Heaven Power and cultivating a peerless divine ability?"

……

One by one, the hidden Heavenly Tier powerhouses were all startled awake, among them many old antiques.

They quickly guessed the reason.

This made their expressions look ugly, because this Blade Intent was truly too terrifying, and this was merely the Blade Intent.

Shoumu Laoren stared with wide eyes, the joy of having broken through to the Against Heaven Tier swept away, and he muttered to himself: "It makes no sense, it makes no sense. How could someone condense such a terrifying divine ability? Who is it, who on earth is it?"

Since the opening of Heaven, he did not know how many Great Annihilations he had experienced, nor how many brilliant and talented people he had seen.

For example, Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord; they both condensed peerless divine abilities after the Great Annihilation.

But compared to this terrifying Blade Intent, the difference was far too great.

He had a feeling that even if he cultivated to the Against Heaven Realm, he feared he would not be able to withstand this blade.

If it were someone on their own side, that would be fine.

If it were from the faction of the Heavenly Dao, then the trouble would be huge.

"A good blade!"

Although the Slashing Heaven Blade was a divine ability, holding it in his hand was no different from a real blade.

More importantly, the power of this divine ability had almost no upper limit.

The higher the cultivation, the stronger the power unleashed would be.

With this blade in hand, his combat power could directly increase by four or five times.

Dissipating the Slashing Heaven Blade, Yin Qi used the Earth Escape Technique to leave, because he had already sensed over a dozen powerful auras rushing toward this location, and he could not be bothered to deal with them.

A moment later.

Ten thousand miles away, deep underground.

Yin Qi once again carved out an underground chamber to continue his cultivation.

Although the three major goals for coming to the Dark Continent had already been completed, there was still some time before the decisive battle, so he prepared to organize his gains since arriving in the Shenmu World and transform them into his own foundation.

For example, smelting the hundred scriptures and creating various peerless arts.

For example, perfecting and optimizing the Star Heaven Art.

And for another example, integrating the concepts of Array Formation, Artifact Refining, and Alchemy from the Shenmu World into the Primordial World system, and so on.

Having refined the memories of the second avatar of Qing and Xuanhuang, Yin Qi obtained the complete Inheritance of the Cultivation of Hundred Professions from the Shenmu World; perhaps its upper limit was not as high as the Primordial World, but it had its own mysteries. (End of chapter)
