Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 384: Chapter 252: Dao Fruit_3

As a creation of the Ancient Immortal Gods, the Fake Cultivation Skill has always been a key research project of the Wandao School.

After all, this method is not limited by the world; even if the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit is sparse, it doesn’t hinder its development. As long as there are enough people, mana can be continually cultivated, and then used to perform the laws of production, condense Mana Money, plant and nurture Spiritual Objects, all without injuring the human body’s foundation…

Such a clean energy source, created from nothing and all-beneficial, who wouldn’t want to master it?

Thus, the Wandao School has always been devoted to studying this method.

However, to this day, there has been no result, only some speculative deductions.

At this moment, these speculative deductions were confirmed.

The convergence of worlds led to changes between heaven and earth.

The Fake Cultivation Skill, deriving from this, started to exhibit its effects.

Throughout this process, Xu Yang had been experiencing, feeling, and comprehending that portion of Heaven’s Secret.

Although he still ended without results, still ignorant of the principles of the Fake Cultivation Skill, his speculative deductions were validated.

This Fake Cultivation Skill, it’s probably not merely as simple as a method.

Its essence, its truth, must be…

Dao!

Yes, Dao, the Great Dao!

An existence on the level of cosmic rules.

The Ancient Immortal Gods, no, to be precise, it should be said that the Supreme Taoist Ancestor left behind a Dao fruit in the human realm.

The Fake Cultivation Skill was actually a Dao fruit?

This left Xu Yang with mixed feelings.

The downside was that the fruit of the Great Dao and the level of the cosmic rules were too high for him to understand and grasp at present. He couldn’t possibly transfer this method, this power to reality, to apply it in other worlds.

The upside was that such a Dao fruit could be called a treasure of the world. If he could comprehend it in the future, he would surely attain heaven-reaching fortune.

This was the precious legacy that the Supreme Taoist Ancestor left to this world, to him. Although he couldn’t unlock and utilize it for the time being, that did not erase its value.

While Xu Yang was comprehending Heaven’s Secret and feeling the profound mysteries of the Fake Cultivation Skill and Dao fruit,

“Boom rumble!”

After being struck consecutively by divine thunders, there was a disturbance in the Blood Sea Scripture, which portrays the birth and death of all things.

The Blood Sea Scripture, where all things are born and perish, twisted into a portal amidst the five-colored divine thunder.

A blood-red, ten-thousand-foot-tall portal.

The Sea of Blood Gate!

In Ancient Times, Lust Realm Demons with three supreme Demon Artifacts invaded, using them to open the Heaven and Earth Barrier and establish a passage between the Desire Realm and this world.

Thus, the three supreme Demon Artifacts make up the three gateways, the three portals that connect to the Desire Realm and summon Heavenly Demons.

Now, under the relentless bombardment of the Five Elements Divine Thunder from the White Jade Capital, the severely damaged Map of the Blood Sea seemed to sense a crisis.

Though the Artifact Spirit had perished and had no consciousness, the supreme Demon Artifact still had an innate mechanism. It was now reacting, risking the damage of its essence, a do-or-die effort to reopen the Heavenly Demon Gate and connect the time-space of the Desire Realm.

“Hmm!?”

Xu Yang’s gaze sharpened, and the White Jade Capital moved in response.

“Boom rumble!”

Immediately, the sound of thunder intensified, and the Five Elements Divine Thunder grew fiercer, pounding heavily on the Heavenly Demon portal.

Yet, the Map of the Blood Sea, consuming its essence, with the supreme Demon Artifact’s power, withstood the Five Elements Divine Thunder and gradually opened the portal.

“Roar!!!”

Finally, a roar resounded, shaking heaven and earth.

From within the Sea of Blood Gate, a ghastly demon shadow thunderously stepped out.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

It was an Asura Demon General, a thousand zhang tall, with three heads and eight arms, its features fearsomely grotesque and extremely hideous.

Sea of Blood Asura!

With three heads and six arms, and a towering thousand-zhang stature, it exuded an overwhelming ferocity; its power exceeded that of Divinity Transformation, and it was on par with the Blood Demon faced earlier. Indeed, it was an Asura Demon General as powerful as a Great Return to Void Cultivator!

The Asura Demon General stepped out of the portal, its blood-red eyes sweeping across all directions, and immediately charged towards the White Jade Immortal City.

The Sea of Blood Asura, extremely fierce and evil, bloodthirsty by nature and war-crazed.

However…

“Boom!”

From within the Immortal City, a sword rose, its brilliant glare splitting heaven and earth.

Xuanyuan!

Xuanyuan struck again, the Heavenly Sword descended, and with a single blow, it cleaved the Asura Demon General, comparable to a Great Return to Void Cultivator, into two.

Because it controlled an Immortal Artifact-level holy sword and thousands of mechas, Xuanyuan’s combat strength was far superior to that of the White Jade Capital and the Yin Mountain Mansion. It was the strongest of the three Immortal Spirit Mech Armors in terms of attack, defense, and battle prowess.

Subduing a Great Return to Void was merely a simple task.

Even against an Integration, it could give battle.

How, then, could the Asura Demon General withstand?

With one slice of the Heavenly Sword, the Demon General fell as a corpse, split into two halves.

Even the Map of the Blood Sea and the Heavenly Demon portal behind it was cleaved apart, collapsing and shattering, no longer forming a gateway, leaving only the scarred Map of the Blood Sea hanging in the void, its sanguine blood-light flickering uncertainly.

“Taoist Master!”

Four streaks of flowing light arrived, the Four Great Celestial Masters.

“Such Demon Artifacts are truly extraordinary.”

“They can even open portals and connect the spacetime of the Demon Realm.”

“According to records of ancient texts, any being, Cultivator, righteous or evil, demon or beast, once they exceed the limits of heaven and earth, must be expelled by heaven and earth. Outsiders are even more so. Even if these Demon Artifacts open the portals to the Demon Realm, it would be difficult for a Demon God, equivalent to Immortal and Buddha, to descend. We should be able to handle it.”

“But there are no absolutes. If a Great Demon God expends power and breaks through the Heaven and Earth Barrier at any cost, it might be possible to pierce through the worlds.”

“Such a great calamity must not be left unchecked!”

“Taoist Master…”

The four spoke clearly, assessing the situation, and then turned to look at Xu Yang.

This enormous problem, how to deal with it, how to solve it, needed him, the Taoist Master, to decide.

“Such Demon Artifacts, being at their peak, are difficult to eliminate for the time being. One can only proceed step by step!”

Xu Yang shook his head, speaking calmly, “As for the hidden dangers of the demon calamity, it’s nothing more than an issue of facing the soldiers with generals, and stemming the water with soil.”

Having said that, he turned his gaze to the distance, “This world still possesses many inheritances that can contribute to the power of the Wandao School. As long as we Cultivators continue our practice, even against Demon Gods, what is there to fear?”

“There is nothing in the world too difficult, as long as one is willing to climb!”

“With the strength of heaven, earth, and humanity combined, our Way is sure to flourish!”
