2481: The Gaze of Tyrannical Song
2481 The Gaze of Tyrannical Song
Neither King Kun nor the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball could withstand this blade!
More tragically, this earth-shattering slash also harnessed their own power—they had unwittingly contributed to their own destruction!
The blade fell.
Song Shuhang's entire body seemed hollowed out, his arm holding the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber trembling slightly.
Simultaneously, hundreds of consciousnesses from across the myriad worlds traversed dimensions and zeroed in on the scholarly faction's location on Earth.
These powerful consciousnesses, initially focused on Mars and Profound Sage Tyrannical Song's seven-day challenge, awaited the immortal battle's progress.
However, the terrifying power of the blade erupting from the Earth's scholarly faction startled the top beings of the myriad worlds.
As their consciousnesses arrived, they witnessed that world-shaking slash!
The power to annihilate everything merged into one, forging an indescribably fearsome blade light.
As the blade swept through, the consciousness of these top figures from the myriad worlds went blank, with only the horrifying scar of the blade lingering in their minds.
After a moment, the top experts of the myriad worlds began dissecting the nature of this blade.
"This slash contained an unfathomable spatial force… It transcended the very concept of space, lending the blade its eerie power. Once you see the mark, it's already too late to dodge."
"Destruction law, pure destructive law… And yet, this law feels alien. My own path involves destruction, but I can't grasp this law. It's as if this destructive law is not of our worlds—almost like it was newly created. Who is this person?"
"Is that blade a Dao weapon? Such awe it inspires—it's not just any Tribulation Transcender or Immortal divine weapon!" someone noted, focusing on the divine blade in Song Shuhang's hand.
"It's the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber, a renowned Dao weapon in the cultivation world. Is he the new Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue? But that doesn't add up. The Eighth Cultivator should have only just inherited the saber." This person seemed well-versed in the lore of the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber.
"There's also that terrifying sealing power. When this blade strikes, many defensive techniques are restricted, sealed. Even with my mastery in sealing arts, escaping the seal within this blade would be impossible in a short time," a deep voice remarked.
"A seal that even Venerable Violet Thunder can't break swiftly? That powerful?" Venerable Purple Thunder, a true Immortal, had validated his path with the Dao of Sealing.
"This blade bears the aura of the Scholarly Sage. I've clashed with a Sage before… and was soundly defeated then. This feeling is unmistakable," another top figure, previously bested by the Scholarly Sage, added.
"Can we not bring that up?" someone interjected.
"Let's not dwell on it. We're still friends, after all."
In truth, at least a third of those present had once sparred with Saints. Everyone sensed the aura of the Scholarly Sage in the blade, yet there was an unspoken agreement not to mention it.
Unexpectedly, someone candidly brought this issue to light.
That really hit hard.
"But we must confront this. The blade technique bore the Scholarly Sage's essence, and it annihilated two formidable enemies on the scholarly territory. This implies a deep connection with the scholarly faction. Perhaps…"
It could even be the reincarnation of a legendary Sage from the scholarly faction!
This was a dire speculation.
In fact, the shadow cast by the Scholarly Sage on the myriad worlds, even compared to this year's sudden collapse of the Heavenly Dao, was more profound, its influence deeper.
"It can't be the Scholarly Sage. Even a Sage wouldn't leave behind life-saving means in the hands of the Wielder of the Will. As I know, the Scholarly Sage's resurrection array has long been ineffective. The remnants of the Heavenly Court once gathered the Sages' resurrection arrays, but the Scholarly Sage's imprint has vanished. The Sage is truly gone."
These words seemed to confirm a possibility, while also offering a faint comfort.
"Speaking of the ancient Heavenly City… I just realized something. This slash contained the power of time! I've battled the Heavenly Emperor from the ancient Heavenly City. I can't be mistaken about this temporal essence."
The conversation returned to discussing the blade.
"How did he embed so many Dao and laws into a single slash?"
"It's likely the Law of Life and Death and the saber intent of severing life and death… It's this saber intent that serves as the main attack! Such a terrifying technique."
"No, the saber intent alone couldn't bear such immense, complex force. Even this saber intent is merely a part of the entire slash!"
"Apart from these powers, there was also the black hole before. Was it also created by this slash? Or does this slash have the ability to shift flowers and trees, while moving stars?"
"I sense karma. That black hole might be tied to karma."
"So, who is this person?"
"Tyrannical Song on Mars has already displayed his strength. Now, such a fearsome figure emerges in the scholarly faction. The battle of the immortals grows increasingly intense."
"The prowess shown by this scholar rivals that of Tyrannical Song on Mars."
"It's not just a match; it's outright stronger. Honestly, who among us is confident enough to withstand that attack?"
A silence fell among the crowd.
Everyone reminisced about the aftermath of the slash while calculating internally. Could they have countered that slash?
Could they withstand it?
As they pondered, they suddenly noticed Tyrannical Song on Mars turning his gaze towards the scholarly faction!
"There he is. Tyrannical Song's gaze has shifted!"
"That slash must have caught Tyrannical Song's attention. He can't possibly ignore such a strike!"
"Tyrannical Song set a trap on Mars for the seven-day challenge of the myriad worlds. Meanwhile, in the scholarly faction's domain, this person unleashed a terrifying slash. Tyrannical Song and this individual are bound to confront each other!" The top figures of the myriad worlds anticipated the situation eagerly.
Tyrannical Song, at the forefront of the eternal battle, versus the enigmatic masked expert in the scholarly faction's domain.
Who is the true master of the tides?
As they contemplated, suddenly, behind the masked expert in the scholarly faction's territory, a large cocoon emerged and opened.
Then, a beautiful fairy emerged from the cocoon.
"Wait… Doesn't the fairy from the cocoon look familiar?"
2482: Good-looking Lower Face
2482 Good-looking Lower Face
It wasn't just familiar; it was overwhelmingly familiar!
Profound Sage Tyrannical Song had shown his divinity several times. In each 'divinity' segment, this fairy maiden outshone Tyrannical Song himself.
Her unparalleled beauty and temperament, the delicate forehead ornament, the charming beauty mark at the corner of her eye, and her commanding empress attire left an indelible impression.
Especially during the divinity segments, there was Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, whose appearance was considered average in the cultivation world, serving as a backdrop to her radiance. Like green leaves against vibrant flowers, her beauty was further accentuated.
But why would Profound Sage Tyrannical Song's virtuous empress appear behind this mysterious masked cultivator from the scholarly faction?
A dreadful hypothesis emerged in the minds of the top beings of the myriad worlds.
Instinctively, they wanted to resist this notion.
But the cruel reality forcibly pried open their eyes with its merciless fingers, compelling them to witness the upcoming, heartrending scene!
In fact, 'reality' was the most illogical, cruel, heartless, and unpredictable existence in the myriad worlds, akin to the legendary ruler of the Netherworld.
…
Fairy @#%× elegantly crawled out of the cocoon.
The time she spent evolving was much shorter than Song Shuhang had expected. He thought he could finally recite his lines for about a week, but to his surprise, he lost the right to recite them after just three days.
At that moment, the virtuous lamia still wore the flat imperial crown and the golden dragon robe of the empress with her wings folded in front like a waist decoration.
Her lower hem was hidden by the dragon robe. What stage had her snake tail evolved to?
Song Shuhang didn't turn to look, aware of the many powerful gazes from the myriad worlds converging on him across dimensions.
He had to remain composed and not show alarm.
Even without looking, he could sense the changes in the virtuous lamia. After all, he was now a cultivator of the Seventh Stage at his peak, and he had the basic skills.
Behind him, under Fairy @#%×'s dragon robe, there was something new.
A pair of shoes!
The virtuous lamia's feet extended from the dragon robe, displaying shoes that matched the dragon robe.
Had she evolved legs?
In this aspect, the virtuous lamia had finally outpaced Pavilion Master Chu from the 'living spring,' having grown out her legs first.
Now, it was truly complete.
Song Shuhang felt a sense of fulfillment, as if he had finally maxed out a card after spending a fortune.
After the virtuous lamia appeared, she maintained a serious expression—ready to support Song Shuhang at a critical moment. Yet sometimes, as she persisted, she seemed to lose her drive.
Currently, she stood dominantly behind Song Shuhang, the light of virtue enveloping him, secretly restoring his expended energy and bolstering his aura.
"Thank you, Fairy," Song Shuhang murmured softly.
"It's time to show my real skills!" the virtuous lamia muttered some cryptic lines, then lowered her head to look at Song Shuhang…
But she couldn't see him.
Apart from the 'real dragon' emblem on her chest, she couldn't spot Song Shuhang.
At that moment, Song Shuhang was directly below her, in her blind spot.
"Tyrannical Song!" Despite their reluctance, the top experts of the myriad worlds called out this name.
The virtuous lamia was behind, and Tyrannical Song was in front.
Under Tyrannical Song's mask, his left eye emitted a scarlet glow, with white smoke eerily emanating from it.
But if Tyrannical Song was on the scholarly faction's territory, then who was the Tyrannical Song on Mars?
The group of top beings from the myriad worlds shifted their gaze back to Mars.
There, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song stood with his arms crossed, the five Sage Names 'Tyrannical Song, Tyrannical Scholar, Tyrannical Demon, Tyrannical Dragon, and Tyrannical Annihilation' visible on his body.
"Congratulations to the main body for annihilating two enemies with one saber!" the Five-Consecutive Tyrant on Mars finally spoke.
As soon as he spoke, he revealed information that sent shivers down the spines of practitioners across the myriad worlds.
Scholar Yue Ruhuo stared in shock at the Five-Consecutive Tyrants. He had fought the other for a long time, using all his methods, only to realize that his opponent was merely a clone!
Was Profound Sage Tyrannical Song truly this formidable?
"No." Tyrannical Song nodded slightly, gently pushing up half of the mask to reveal the handsome lower half of his face—indeed, Song Shuhang's lower half was surprisingly stylish, his overall appearance marred only by the upper half.
"I am Tyrannical Song." After a long ponder, Song Shuhang managed to squeeze out this introduction.
"Eighteen years old, please guide me," the virtuous lamia recited in the most domineering tone yet with the least imposing lines.
"If I have offended you in any way." Fairy Creation slowly appeared, standing at Song Shuhang's left side.
"C-come and hit me?" Black-skinned Soft Feather emerged from Song Shuhang's right side. Contrary to the virtuous lamia, she used the most timid tone to recite the most domineering lines.
Facing a crowd of top beings from the myriad worlds, Soft Feather felt her end was near. It was likely she wouldn't survive past tomorrow. Perhaps a curse-specialist would remotely set up an altar to hex her to death.
The top experts of the myriad worlds fell into silence.
Tyrannical Song's true self was unexpectedly humorous? Moreover, his aura felt less intimidating than that of his clone. It suggested that he might be more approachable.
"If you want to challenge my true self, you must first get past me!" declared the Five-Consecutive Tyrannical Ball Clone Shuhang on Mars.
He spread his arms and exuded a grand aura, "If you can't even defeat me, you don't deserve to challenge my true self! Come, the seven-day challenge continues. Those who wish to challenge my true self, come at me! I'll be waiting on Mars!"
Senior White, observing from afar, silently ceased his remote monitoring of Mars—he just couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Song Shuhang donned his mask once more.
The shattered defensive array of the scholarly faction began to regenerate, gradually concealing Tyrannical Song's figure and cutting off the intrusive gazes of the myriad worlds' top beings.
Song Shuhang returned the saber to its scabbard.
The next moment, the Plunder ability added by Senior Three-Eyed to his saber activated.
King Kun and the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball, already vanquished under the blade, were pressed into the void by the power of ten karmas, becoming targets of plunder.
"Ancient language, draw over the ancient language!" Song Shuhang hoped internally.
Senior Three-Eyed's plundering ability could even extract items from concepts. The ancient language was also a target of 'plundering.'
Alas… Song Shuhang's dream was not realized.
After activating the plundering ability, two spots of light, each carrying special characteristics, merged into Song Shuhang's body, akin to the end of a bet ceremony.
Subsequently, the techniques of Liquid Golden Body and True Heavenly Peng Evasion emerged in his mind.
2484: Spending Wealth to Save Life
2484 Spending Wealth to Save Life
The cultivation chat function didn't show a (deceased) status, so King Kun might be cautiously surviving in some unknown state!
"If I hadn't added Senior King Kun as a friend long ago, I might have been duped too," Song Shuhang said with a faint smile.
Maybe because his body was weak, his signature gentle laughter sounded somewhat sinister with the absence of its usual energy.
Sword shuddered. "Shuhang, your smile looks so evil."
Song Shuhang remained speechless.
"I searched thoroughly and couldn't find King Kun," Pavilion Master Chu murmured.
Stone Tablet said, "I got no response either. Could it be a network delay? Maybe King Kun died, but the signal hasn't reached you in time?"
Song Shuhang nodded slightly. "That's possible, but… let's prepare for the worst, just to be safe."
"The spatial lockdown is starting to lift. Do you need me to add another one?" asked White Dragon.
If the spatial lockdown dissipated, King Kun, lurking in the shadows, might seize the chance to escape through space.
"Please, White Dragon, could you reinforce it?" Song Shuhang strained to get his brain working.
His mind was still sluggish, a consequence of overload.
Creation Fairy carefully removed the scalding Scholarly Sage's eye from Song Shuhang's left eye socket—this time, she didn't replace it with Song Shuhang's actual eye, instead waiting for the heat in his eye socket to dissipate.
White Dragon's delicate claw gently tugged, and a 'Spatial Imprisonment' descended.
Song Shuhang's 'Inner World' immediately shrank back.
"How do you plan to find King Kun?" Pavilion Master Chu inquired, puzzled.
"Hmm, maybe send a direct message to Senior King Kun and have him come out himself?" Song Shuhang suggested while swiping open 'King Kun' in his friend list to access the private chat.
Senior King Kun, hiding won't help you—I have your number.
The moment I call you, and the ringtone sounds, that's when you'll be exposed!
…
…
In the world of the golden lotus, the four Tribulation Transcenders of the scholarly faction and a group of higher-ups had watched the entire scene of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song slashing King Kun and the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball.
Seeing the battle outside end, the four Tribulation Transcenders of the scholarly faction, Son of the Deep, Venerable Eternal Fire, and a group of deans from the scholarly faction emerged from the world of the golden lotus to greet Tyrannical Song.
Once the tale of Tyrannical Song's saber strike spreads, his status in the myriad worlds will likely rise to match that of the Scholarly Sage and the ancient Heavenly City's Heavenly Emperor!
Slaying two Immortals with one slash demonstrated that his combat prowess truly had the power to dominate the era. Coupled with the formidable clone on Mars, Tyrannical Song's name would resound throughout the upper echelons of the myriad worlds tonight.
The four Tribulation Transcenders of the scholarly faction led the way, with Yuan Zi rigidly following behind, all heading towards Song Shuhang's location.
At that moment, King Kun's consciousness within Yuan Zi's body suddenly received a message.
"Hey, Senior King Kun, you okay? I know you're still fine, so stop hiding. Come out, let's have a proper chat." A private message from Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.
King Kun was speechless.
"Not going to reply, Senior King Kun?" Profound Sage Tyrannical Song asked politely.
King Kun sealed his lips tightly.
Am I crazy? Why should I reply to you? Pretending to be dead silently is the smart move.
"Senior King Kun, no need for secrets. Look at your friend list; your name is still bright without a (deceased) mark. So, no need to hide anymore!" Song Shuhang sent another message.
Damn it, if I had fully grasped this 'cultivation chat' function, I would have blocked you long ago.
In the void.
On the palm of the virtuous lamia, Song Shuhang sat cross-legged while resting his chin in his hand and gazing at the members of the scholarly faction.
Creation Fairy knelt behind him, holding his head—keeping it from falling.
Song Shuhang was truly weak, his body ready to collapse without support.
As the members of the scholarly faction approached, Song Shuhang's gaze shifted to Yuan Zi.
Yuan Zi remained expressionless, like a vegetative person.
"Senior King Kun, long time no see," Song Shuhang said with a sudden smile while staring at Yuan Zi.
The four Tribulation Transcenders of the scholarly faction were taken aback and spun to look at Yuan Zi.
Even Creation Fairy looked at Song Shuhang in confusion.
"You can fool anyone, but not my eyes," Song Shuhang pointed at his left eye. Under the mask, his left eye socket still emitted a red glow, with smoke continuously emerging.
Though the Scholarly Sage's eye had been removed by Creation Fairy, the high temperature had yet to dissipate. The continuously emerging tears instantly vaporized and turned into smoke squeezing out of the mask's holes.
A sense of shock exploded.
On the other side, Yuan Zi remained motionless.
The four Tribulation Transcenders of the scholarly faction simultaneously pressed their hands on Yuan Zi's body, each using their divine powers to check his condition.
But moments later, Zi Wen, Zi Yan, Zi Chi, and Zi Yu frowned.
They detected nothing unusual about Yuan Zi.
The four Tribulation Transcenders turned their heads and looked at Song Shuhang in confusion.
"Don't worry, Senior King Kun's reluctance to come out is within my expectations," Song Shuhang gently tapped his knee with his left hand. "That's why I asked Ms. Long Luo to develop a 'ringtone' feature for me. It's a simple plugin, plug-and-play. Senior King Kun, answer my call!"
[Ding—Little Squirrel Notification: New function added to cultivation chat. VIP dynamic ringtone plugin online. Congratulations to 'Senior Administrator' Ah Bai, 'Fair-weather Friend' Heavenly Emperor, 'Crisp (crossed out) Head' Pavilion Master Chu, and 'Purple Grape' King Kun for earning closed beta access.]
King Kun was shocked.
Did versions update this fast?
"A 'Seven Kills Song' from Senior Creation, dedicated to Senior King Kun!" Song Shuhang said with a slight smile while opening King Kun's private chat and sending a voice and video chat request.
Through this closed beta function, King Kun's body would play the dynamic song of Dharma King Creation.
In this way, no matter where he hid, he would be inevitably exposed!
"Kill, kill, kill ~ disloyal people… Kill, kill, kill! Unfilial people… Kill, kill, kill!" A violent, ear-piercing, crazy song began to play.
However, the music didn't emanate from Yuan Zi's body, but rather exploded at the edge of the scholarly faction's defensive barrier.
That was the edge of the Spatial Imprisonment!
"Senior King Kun, please wait!" Song Shuhang laughed heartily. Although he was extremely weak at the moment, the pendants on his body weren't.
Whoosh ~~
As Song Shuhang finished speaking, a myriad of treasures suddenly shot out from the edge of the scholarly barrier.
The brilliance of countless treasures dazzled Song Shuhang's eyes.
"Ancient Heavenly City fragment!" Song Shuhang spotted something of interest.
"Understood!" White Dragon leaped from his neck and flew toward the fragment of the Heavenly City.
At the same time, Yuan Zi moved.
He easily broke free from the four Tribulation Transcenders and dashed toward the treasure!
At the critical moment, King Kun had chosen to scatter his wealth to save his life by severing his tail!
2483: Don't worry about your money, I'll exchange it for your life
2483 Don't worry about your money, I'll exchange it for your life
He managed to snatch the special abilities of King Kun and the liquid metal ball in one fell swoop!
Indeed, under the auspice of Senior White's fortune, Song Shuhang could only draw top-tier abilities. The notion of extracting something as basic as the Ancient Language Pack was mere wishful thinking.
This was the quandary: borrowed luck was not his own, restricting him to rigidly extract only the most elite items.
Moments later, Song Shuhang's once-blank mind began to assimilate these two cultivation techniques.
The True Heavenly Peng Evasion Technique, an elite escape technique of the VIP treasure light, boasted cooler effects and greater speed than the standard version.
After acquiring the True Heavenly Peng Evasion Technique, Song Shuhang's frozen brain gradually sparked to life. A bright idea struck him—he remembered when he wielded the 'Karma Saber,' the 'karmic line' on Tribulation Transcender Yuanzi's body had bifurcated twice, granting him the Heavenly Peng Evasion Technique. Now, having serendipitously obtained the True Heavenly Peng Evasion Technique from King Kun, he felt a connection between them.
Later, he would need to find an opportunity to hold Tribulation Transcender Yuanzi's hand and discreetly employ the secret appraisal technique.
At Song Shuhang's current realm, appraising a Tribulation Transcender-level expert would demand a steep price… likely several deep, bone-exposing wounds, plus a level of pain that could induce a soft hum.
This was well within his threshold of endurance.
Once the True Heavenly Peng Evasion Technique imprinted itself in Song Shuhang's mind, he rapidly grasped the escape technique, mastering King Kun's execution nuances.
Senior Three-Eyed's 'bet ceremony' was an unreasonably potent ability, related to the corresponding Heavenly Dao and qualifying as a Heavenly Dao-level function.
It directly extracted this escape technique from King Kun, transferring it to Song Shuhang—this process was a 'cut,' not a copy. One party would completely lose this ability, which would then be affixed to the other party.
Similarly, the Liquid Golden Body Technique from the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball was also extracted.
Judging by the name alone, it was clear that this was a body tempering technique!
Following the Mutated Steel Hands Technique, the Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique, and the Scholarly Indestructible Body of the Buddha, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song now possessed the Liquid Golden Body Technique, assembling four grand protective divine techniques.
Once the True Heavenly Peng Evasion Technique was extracted, Song Shuhang needed some time to familiarize himself with it and digest the information in his mind.
The moment the Liquid Golden Body Technique merged into Song Shuhang's body, his body automatically began adapting to it.
Song Shuhang didn't need to consciously process the knowledge or adapt to the technique. Each cell in his body actively engaged, swiftly embracing the Liquid Golden Body Technique.
Aside from saber techniques, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song's strongest talent lay in body tempering.
The thickest armor, the most relentless beating. Then, when the enemy failed to breach his defenses, he would deliver the decisive slash!
A few breaths later, Song Shuhang's thoughts stirred, and the pitch-black metallic color of the Mutated Steel Hands Technique manifested on his body. Immediately afterward, he activated the Liquid Golden Body Technique.
The incredibly hard metal body melted, transforming into a pitch-black liquid metal mode!
When you're hard, you're also soft.
At this juncture, Song Shuhang's body exhibited both hardness and softness, significantly amplifying his resistance to attacks. In terms of head-on collisions, a soft body had an advantage over a rigid one.
Combining hardness and softness was the ideal model!
Song, Thicker and Tougher, Shuhang!
…
"Senior Song, you look so familiar," Black-skinned Soft Feather quietly remarked.
Song Shuhang looked skyward, "Ah, I know, Soft Feather."
This was the appearance of the fat ball in its human form. The pitch-black liquid metal body seemed to flow, conferring exceptional resistance to attacks!
As they spoke, the virtuous lamia suddenly extended her hands. Her colossal form gently cradled Song Shuhang in her palms.
Simultaneously, the 'liquid metal mode' on Song Shuhang's body dissipated, and he slumped weakly into the virtuous lamia's hands.
Following the conclusion of the Karma Blade, the power from the ten karma feedback dissipated.
Without the support of the ten karma's power, Song Shuhang was as fragile as a lump of clay. Any powerful being could easily swat him into oblivion.
Not only that, but eight of the ten Karma strands wrapped around his right hand, leaving eight red Karma marks on his right arm.
This was the testament to the immense debt he had incurred by maxing out ten karma credits.
Originally, ten karma marks should have been imprinted on his right hand. However, one was connected to the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball.
The Heavenly Dao Molt Ball One had been obliterated, its remnants sealed in Senior White's residence. Thus, the karma debt naturally transferred to the more intact Heavenly Dao Molt Ball Two.
And then, the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball Two… was immediately annihilated again.
With the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball Two gone and lacking a successor, Song Shuhang's karmic debt remained unsettled.
After using the enemy's resources to defeat them, he no longer had to repay the karma debt. Just thinking about it, the deal was worthwhile!
Song Shuhang gazed at the karmic debt on his right wrist and smiled, "This sort of thing is indescribable."
As for the other karmic line without a debt, it belonged to the Scholarly Sage. The Sage was gone, and this karmic debt had lost its source. The disciples of the saints did not inherit this karmic debt either.
In other words, the next time he used the Karma Saber Technique, he could pull in the karma of the Scholarly Sage, guaranteeing a profit.
The debts to Senior White and Senior White Two could be deferred. After all, they were already heavily indebted, so no immediate concern there.
Negotiating with Madam Long Luo would be more straightforward.
The fat ball's clone… currently, it was Tyrannical Song's clone, so this debt could be postponed.
Conversely, finding a way to repay the 'karma debt' to big shots like Striped Dragon Two, Senior Three-Eyed, Pavilion Master Chu, and the Heavenly Emperor was crucial.
It was not difficult to borrow again!
"Also, if the debt karma line doesn't leave any traces, it indicates that the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball and King Kun are completely gone," Song Shuhang mused while sitting in the palm of the virtuous lamia and looking into the distance.
"Nothing remains of the aura of the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball or King Kun. That slash of yours just now was excessively powerful," the White Dragon responded.
The power of the ten Karma strands twisted into one, under the Scholarly Sage's eye's calculations, executed a perfect slash.
This slash's power was perfectly utilized on King Kun and the Heavenly Path Molt Ball. Not a single bit of energy in the blade went to waste. The Sage was definitely a perfectionist in his lifetime.
"However, King Kun might not be entirely gone," Song Shuhang suddenly said.
"With its strength, it couldn't possibly survive that slash," Pavilion Master Chu countered, somewhat dazed.
Song Shuhang's attention was fixed on the blacklist in his cultivation chat group.
In this list, the name of the deceased had been marked with (Killed in battle). However, there was no similar mark next to King Kun's name!
2485: Karma Comes Full Circle - The White Dragon's Tale
2485 Karma Comes Full Circle – The White Dragon's Tale
Scattering wealth to save one's life is an extremely sophisticated technique in the art of escape.
As long as there's no deep-seated blood feud between the parties, it's not an irreconcilable enmity. At critical moments, using wealth to ensure survival often yields impressive results.
Numerous precious and exotic treasures were ejected, many of which even Immortals would covet. These would definitely slow down the enemy's progress… or at the very least, distract them for a few crucial moments.
A few moments were all King Kun needed to make a getaway!
After all, as a Kun, it possessed the most formidable escape technique in the myriad worlds. When it transformed from Kun to Roc, its physical escape prowess was unmatched!
Just by creating some distance and escaping the spatial lockdown, Immortals could freely use spatial techniques to flee the battlefield and vanish into the myriad worlds, to disappear like a fish into the ocean.
…
King Kun's strategy of scattering wealth was a very sensible choice.
For someone like Song Shuhang, perpetually on the brink of poverty, those countless treasures were absolutely blinding.
Among the shower of exotic treasures, a small white egg gently hopped. Under the cover of these treasures, it successfully breached the defensive barrier of the scholarly faction!
This was King Kun in its current form—faced with Tyrannical Song's unbeatable strike, King Kun had resolutely chosen to 'die' and let its physical body be destroyed by the saber.
At the same time, it secretly used a precious treasure to create a new body from its old, achieving 'rebirth.'
It just hadn't anticipated Tyrannical Song's flashy maneuver, which still managed to expose its new form.
"For now, I'll abandon my wealth for survival. But when the opportunity arises in the future, once I've regained my strength, I'll definitely reclaim what I've lost!" King Kun vowed inwardly.
Losing wasn't a concern, but Kun couldn't lose its spirit! Its body could be cowardly, but its demeanor must never be!
Behind it, White Dragon gracefully gathered the fragments of the ancient Heavenly City.
Meanwhile, as she collected the fragments, White Dragon noticed the hopping little egg. "Found you, Fellow Daoist King Kun."
Pavilion Master Chu shouted, "Fairy White Scarf, don't let it get away! Capture it!"
White Dragon was speechless.
"Too late!" thought the hopping little egg.
As White Dragon approached to collect the ancient Heavenly City fragments, the egg was already prepared for escape.
Though in the form of a small egg, its essence was concentrated within. Given some time, it could break out of its shell and transform back into a Kun. After that, just a few months would suffice for it to regain its peak condition!
With its escape plan ready, the White Dragon Fairy behind it stood no chance of catching up!
"I must admit defeat this time! But next time, I will be the victor!" The little egg of King Kun leaped powerfully into the void.
At the same time, within its shell, it transformed from Kun to Roc while instinctively executing a mighty escape technique famous in the myriad worlds!
Wings made of pure energy materialized on either side of the egg and gave the white egg an adorable look.
The Roc wings flapped and propelled the little white egg into the void.
Its speed was extraordinary!
The little white egg turned into a bolt of white lightning, soaring into the sky in the blink of an eye!
But… the speed wasn't as fast as King Kun had imagined!
"No, I should be faster, right? I'm supposed to possess one of the swiftest speeds in the myriad worlds!" King Kun was puzzled.
Though the speed of its wings was quick, this was merely the ultimate speed of a regular Roc. It was far from the godly speed of the myriad worlds' elite!
"Wait, did I lose something?" King Kun began to panic.
After being destroyed by Tyrannical Song's saber and resurrected as a little egg, it seemed to have lost something.
Memories? Abilities? Spells?
Not good… Was it the price of using the life-saving treasure that turned Kun into an egg?
Damn it, if using a treasure requires a price, why did it strip away my life-saving escape technique?
This was a total trap.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Kun, don't rush off!" At that moment, White Dragon's voice echoed behind King Kun.
White Dragon too transformed into a bolt of white lightning and chased after King Kun.
At the same time, she waved her little claws to form a 'spatial lockdown' barrier to prevent King Kun from using spatial powers to escape.
This wasn't good; he was about to be caught!
"Fairy White Dragon, why are you so persistent? If you keep this up, I'll fight back, even at the risk of my life!" King Kun flapped its wings furiously to widen the gap between itself and the White Dragon Fairy while threatening her.
It was truly desperate and ready to risk everything!
"If you're up for risking your life, I have no objections~" White Dragon cheerfully responded. "In my current state, even if I'm blown to smithereens, I can still be reborn in the body of the Su family's little darling. If you're set on risking your life, I'm ready to explode with you."
White Dragon and the virtuous lamia, as pendants, feared no death. As long as Song Shuhang and Su Clan's Sixteen's main bodies were intact, they could recover countless times using the power of virtue of their main bodies. Hence, their outlook was exceptionally optimistic.
King Kun was left speechless.
Its only course of action now was to desperately activate the Roc wings. Simultaneously, it began hastily designing an escape technique, tailored to the wings' characteristics.
As an Immortal, King Kun's knowledge was vast. Creating a bespoke escape technique during the chase wasn't challenging.
Moreover, since White Dragon Fairy's form was a unique 'body of virtue,' there must be a distance limit from her main body.
If it could create enough distance, it would surely shake her off.
A kun and a dragon, in a relentless chase.
Two streaks of white lightning, dazzling across the sky.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist King Kun, didn't you also chase after our little white bone princess like this last time around the world?" White Dragon suddenly spoke up from behind.
"You?" King Kun's heart fluttered.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm the ancestral golden dragon of the ancient Heavenly City. Thanks for taking care of our little white bone princess, Fellow Daoist," White Dragon said, her voice filled with evident joy and cheerfulness.
"How's that possible? The Ancestral Golden Dragon is supposed to be golden!"
"I faded," White Dragon calmly replied while subtly increasing her speed.
King Kun was speechless.
No, if this continued, it would be caught!
It had to resort to its last-ditch effort.
King Kun braced itself and activated its will.
"Boom"
Behind White Dragon, at the edge of the spatial lockdown, a space door opened.
Yuan Zi from the scholarly faction appeared.
Yuan Zi's physical body was King Kun's final trump card!
