Chapter 293: Invincible.

[T/N: I cut out some of the redundant parts that the author used to lengthen his chapters]
The vitality gradually calmed down. The terrifying aura that had been continuously oscillating and spreading gradually disappeared, leaving only the mountain of flames.
Whether it’s the Legends miles away, or the Ancestors of the Major Sects who were secretly watching, they all stared blankly at the sky.
In the sky was a slender, tall and straight figure. He held a bow that was completely composed of divine light, appearing like a deity that’s often depicted in myths.
Three Peak Legends with Primordial Spirits joined forces against Su Qin. Yet, they couldn’t do anything and were killed instead.
It was especially appalling in the end, when the Dark Source Sect Ancestor had already escaped hundreds of miles away, but was still shot down by Su Qin’s arrow.
Although a distance of hundreds of miles was nothing for Legends, few, if not none, could kill a Peak Legend that far away with a single blow.
It’s simply because, with such a long distance, the power of the attack would already be weakened.
Not only did Su Qin’s arrow, after traversing hundreds of miles, killed the Dark Source Sect Ancestor, the residual force it generated was so strong that it shook the area within thousands of miles.
If they hadn’t seen who sent the attack with their own eyes, they would have thought that it was an Earth Immortal who had done so.
“The Ancestors are all dead…”
The Legends just stared blankly at the scene in front of them.
Originally, the three Ancestors announced that Su Qin escaping with serious injuries was already lucky.
Alas, how the tables have turned.
“My Lord, my Lord is too strong…” A storm had been set off in Fei Yu’s mind. Su Qin won a one versus three, and in the most dominating way possible at that! The might he displayed was divine, almost as if he’s an Earth Immortal.
At this moment, Su Qin’s thoughts moved as he looked at the Nine Yao Bow in his right hand. The bow then turned into divine light and melted into the depths of the void.
Different from other magic weapons such as Demon God’s Blade and Demon Suppressing Seal, the Nine Yao Bow was a “spiritual” magic weapon. As long as the Primordial Spirit injected by Su Qin was strong enough, the power of the arrow could be infinitely improved.
When Su Qin entered the 5th Heavenly Layer, he was already able to shoot at the army of the vassal Kings thousands of miles away with the Nine Yao Bow. It was currently even more powerful, now that Su Qin had reached Peak 9th Heavenly Layer and had formed his Primordial Spirit. Compared with Divine Sense, the power of the Primordial Spirit was even greater, hence the improvement of Nine Yao Bow was stronger.
It was precisely because of this that Su Qin was able to shoot down the Dark Source Sect Ancestor from hundreds of miles away.
In fact, if the Dark Source Sect Ancestor did not choose to run away and instead fought Su Qin head-on, he might have been able to hold on for a while. After all, he was still a Peak Legend and had his Nightmare Form, which made him even harder to kill.
Escaping was equivalent to actively seeking death. With the power of the Nine Yao Bow, unless he went further or was like Su Qin whose body was a Quasi-Dharma Body, he would surely die.
As for his Nightmare Form…
Again, the Nine Yao Bow was a spiritual magic weapon.
“Huh?”
Right after Su Qin took back the Nine Yao Bow, he suddenly discovered something, and looked at the place where Ancestor Lei Xing died a hundred miles away.
After using the [Thousand Yin Thunder], Ancestor Lei Xing’s body had already turned into powder under the thousand-meter lightning sea, leaving only his Primordial Spirit to escape.
Afterwards, he was sliced by the sword light of Su Qin’s Demon God’s Blade, and his Primordial Spirit collapsed.
However, after Ancestor Lei Xing’s Primordial Spirit collapsed, a piece of black wood fell to the ground.
The entire piece of black wood was charred black, as if it had been burned by the lightning. However, there were faint thunder patterns on the surface, making it look extremely extraordinary.
Just that if this were all it was, Su Qin wouldn’t have cared.
It’s only because Su Qin discovered something with the [Eyes of Truth], did he take note of it. He found that within this black piece of wood was an incomparably abundant thunderous aura brewing. It was no less than the thousand-meter lightning sea that Ancestor Lei Xing summoned using his body.
“Could this be the Lightning Tribulation Wood that the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea mentioned?” Su Qin’s Primordial Spirit enveloped the wood and presented it in front of him.
The so-called Lightning Tribulation Wood referred to the divine tree that was more than 10,000 years old. When it was about to transform into a human form, the Heavens sent a lightning tribulation. In the end, the tree did not survive the lightning tribulation and was destroyed. But there were still a few remains of its wooden body.
Some of these wood pieces that had experienced lightning tribulation were the Lightning Tribulation Wood.
According to the jade record left by the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea, the energy contained in the divine tree that had survived for thousands of years had far exceeded that of ordinary Earth Immortals. However, only after experiencing a lightning tribulation could it get rid of its tree body and turn into a human form, freely roaming the world.
The strength of any human formed tree already stood at the top among Earth Immortals.
In the last prosperous era, there was an expert who was such a tree.
It was a pity that, in the final battle against the Demons, the expert died under the terrifying gaze of the Demon God.
“It’s no wonder that Ancestor Lei Xing brought this piece of wood out, even though he gave up his body. It turned out to be a Lightning Tribulation Wood…”
Su Qin’s eyes lit up.
The Lightning Tribulation Wood was the product of a divine tree failing the lightning tribulation. The power contained by it had been stained with the aura of the lightning tribulation. Meaning, the importance of the Lightning Tribulation Wood was definitely higher than any magic weapon.
By keeping the Lightning Tribulation Wood at one’s side for a long time, they could slowly absorb the terrifying power of the lightning tribulation inside. It was equivalent to a peerless powerhouse standing close to the Earth Immortal, constantly washing his marrow and tendons.
Opportunities like this were rare in the world.
“With this Lightning Tribulation Wood, my [Thunder God Penta Fist] would definitely rise to a new level.”
A smile appeared on Su Qin’s face, and his Primordial Spirit swept over the Lightning Tribulation Wood again.
Just when Su Qin was about to put away the Lightning Tribulation Wood, his expression changed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed across his face.
“Get out.”
Su Qin’s Primordial Spirit immediately penetrated through the surroundings.
Another Primordial Spirit then hovered above the Lightning Tribulation Wood, before condensing into Ancestor Lei Xing’s figure.
At this moment, Ancestor Lei Xing realized that he had been discovered, and immediately begged for mercy: “Don’t kill me, as long as fellow Daoist spare me, I will do anything.”
Ancestor Lei Xing bitterly pleaded.
“No wonder you survived. You left a trace of your Primordial Spirit hidden in the Lightning Tribulation Wood.”
Su Qin glanced at Ancestor Lei Xing with a thoughtful look.
The Demon God’s Blade was incomparably sharp, and contained an abyssal aura which can corrode any spiritual power. So the only way for Ancestor Lei Xing to survive was to hide in the Lightning Tribulation Wood and barely avoid being completely extinguished.
Ancestor Lei Xing’s aura has converged to the extreme. So even if Primordial Spirit scanned the Lightning Tribulation Wood, Su Qin wouldn’t have found out. If Su Qin hadn’t been cautious and inspected it with the [Eyes of Truth] again, he might have really let Ancestor Lei Xing escape.
Even if Ancestor Lei Xing only had a trace of Primordial Spirit at the moment, he would undoubtedly cause problems.
“Noisy.”
Su Qin looked at Ancestor Lei Xing, whose eyes were full of fear, and raised his hand, crushing the last trace of his Primordial Spirit.
It was only after scrutinizing whether Ancestor Lei Xing was still alive and hiding some of his Primordial Spirit, both inside and out of the Lightning Tribulation Wood again, and that there was no problem, did Su Qin put it away.
At this time, Fei Yu has also rushed over.
In addition to Fei Yu, many other Legends watching the battle followed behind him, trembling all over.
These Legends were all disciples of Major Sects. Even a dozen of them were Elders of the Dark Source Sect, the Thunder God Sect, and the Snow God Palace. They watched their Ancestors fall into the hands of Su Qin, so the grief and anger in their hearts can be imagined.
But no matter how sad they were, they could only obediently await Su Qin’s sentence.
As for running?
Even the Dark Source Sect Ancestor, who escaped hundreds of miles away, was killed by Su Qin, how could they truly escape?
“My Lord.”
Fei Yu walked up to Su Qin and greeted respectfully.
At this moment, Su Qin had returned to the front of the mountain of flames, and was looking at the Fire Element Source in front of him.
“Get up.”
Su Qin glanced at Fei Yu, and then looked at the Legends who followed Fei Yu. He said with great interest, “Do you want to avenge your Ancestors?”
Immediately after hearing this, the scalps of the Legends tingled. The one leading the group shook their heads again and again: “Senior’s methods are Heaven-sent, how dare we have the idea of revenge?”
“It’s an honor for the Ancestors to die in my Lord’s hands, how can we take revenge?”
Several Legends said quickly.
“Hoho…”
Su Qin’s face showed his contempt. If these people said stubbornly that they wanted to avenge their Ancestors, Su Qin might have appreciated them before crushing them.
But seeing these people trembling so much and bootlicking him, Su Qin couldn’t be bothered.
These Legends would not be able to become Peak Legends in their entire lives, they didn’t matter and could only look up to Su Qin.
“Go away.”
Su Qin didn’t look at them anymore, and instead gazed back at the Fire Element Source.
“Yes!”
“Yes, thank you Senior!”
The Legends immediately left respectfully, as they have been given amnesty.
After all of the Legends had disappeared, Fei Yu couldn’t help, but say: “My Lord, I’m afraid that today’s event will definitely spread overseas…”
A hint of worry flashed through his face.
Su Qin’s trampling of the Myriad Sword Sect only shocked overseas, and there’s no future trouble. After all, it’s just the Myriad Sword Sect getting destroyed. As for the other Major Sects, Su Qin did not offend them and only showed his power. Naturally, the Major Sects will not provoke Su Qin needlessly.
But now that Su Qin killed three Ancestors with Primordial Spirits from the Snow God Palace, the Dark Source Sect, and the Thunder God Sect, it was equivalent to completely angering these three Major Sects.
Leaving the Snow God Palace and Dark Source Sect aside, the Thunder God Sect was extremely troublesome. They had existed since the last prosperous era and had produced more than one Earth Immortal.
More importantly, Su Qin destroyed the Myriad Sword Sect, then killed the three Ancestors with Primordial Spirits in succession. His power would undoubtedly arouse the fear of the rest of the Major Sects.
If the Thunder God Sect fanned the flames, it would be very likely that the other Major Sects would join forces and besiege Su Qin together.
By that time, Su Qin would face the background of all the Major Sects overseas, which could even involve trump cards at the Earth Immortal level.
“I know… However, it doesn’t matter.”
Su Qin didn’t care, and his expression was still calm.
As the wave of vitality continued to recover, sooner or later, there would bound to be a battle between him and the Major Sects anyways. Unless Su Qin was willing to give up the battlefield and surrender everything in the Tang Empire, which he certainly wouldn’t do.
After all, the battlefield was the core of the wave of the recovering vitality. It would play an unimaginable role in promoting Su Qin’s Cultivation. If it was not a last resort, Su Qin would not give up the battlefield.
Although Su Qin had a System, sooner or later, he would be able to step into the Earth Immortal, or even stronger.
But becoming an Earth Immortal in 500 years and becoming one in 100 years were two completely different concepts.
If it took Su Qin 500 years to enter the Earth Immortal, then all of his family and friends would die of old age. By then, no matter how strong Su Qin was, he would be alone.
“Indeed, it is a Fire Element Source. Such vastness is incredible. No wonder ancient books record that Element Sources can help Martial Artists communicate with the ocean of vitality!”
“With such a huge Fire Element Source, even if the ocean of vitality is deep in the void, a connection could be established…”
Su Qin looked at the Fire Element Source and was amazed.
Although Su Qin had devoured an Earth Element Source before, it had not fully matured. How could it compare to the near-complete Fire Element Source in front of him?
“I’m going to go in and enter seclusion for a while, you can wait outside.”
Su Qin glanced at Fei Yu, thought for a moment, and said.
With the majestic Fire Element contained in the Fire Element Source, it was more than enough to push the [Burning Sun Divine Art] to Small Accomplishment.
Even if Su Qin can’t incarnate into the Three-legged Golden Crow yet, the Small Accomplishment would allow Su Qin to obtain some of the Three-legged Golden Crow’s abilities.
With these abilities, Su Qin could sweep all of the Peak Legends. Even if he encountered an Earth Immortal, he may even be able to exchange a few moves.
This was also the reason why Su Qin brazenly killed the three Ancestors.
At this moment, Su Qin could already kill the Ancestors with Primordial Spirits, even more so after he devours the Fire Element Source in front of him!
“Yes.”
Fei Yu bowed respectfully.
Su Qin then slowly walked to the entrance of the Fire Element Source. When he was about to step in, he turned his head and looked at the outside world.
Once Su Qin walks out from here, he would truly be invincible and look down on the world.
