Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 1155 495: Chopping Down Foes Like Slicing Melons (Part 2)
Previously on Cultivation Starts from Farming...
Xu Ping finally raised a smile on the corner of his mouth. He was exceedingly satisfied with this power enhancement that far exceeded his expectations.
A thought involuntarily rose in his heart:
"Who knows, if I slay the remaining Divinity Transformation cultivators in the human realm, with the fortune that comes from their demise, can this Profound Celestial Supreme Treasure be enhanced further?"
Xu Ping secretly calculated in his mind, but quickly shook his head: "However, I think it will be difficult."
"The level of a three-tribulation supreme treasure is really too low, to make it significantly enhanced, the resources needed are probably massive."
"The fortune of mere early-stage Divinity Transformation cultivators is likely...* simply not enough, the effect will certainly be weak."
"Of course, even a mosquito's legs are meat."
A cold glint flashed in Xu Ping's eyes, "Moreover, these few are entrenched in various places, ultimately remaining a potential threat to me."
"Since I have decided to eradicate, I certainly won't spare the remaining four."
To cut the grass, the roots must be removed.
With his mind made up, Xu Ping no longer hesitated.
He rose to his full height, completely restrained his aura, and stepped out of the secret chamber.
Duan Shuang, who was waiting outside, immediately approached.
Xu Ping simply informed him of his plan, to which Duan Shuang naturally nodded in agreement.
Soon, Xu Ping and Duan Shuang together sped towards the direction of Celestial Cloud City in the Central Domain.
...
Celestial Cloud City.
It was now enveloped by a hastily arranged joint defensive array, combining the power of four Divinity Transformation cultivators.
Light screens flowed, runes flickered, emitting extraordinary defensive waves.
Inside the city, the atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme, all cultivators were in fear, as if the end of the world was coming.
The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master and three others gathered at the city center array hub, their faces extremely grave, their Divine Senses locked tightly onto the sky.
"He's here!"
The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master suddenly looked up, his voice dry.
In the distance, two escape lights appeared, and in the blink of an eye, were over the city.
Xu Ping and Duan Shuang's figures were clearly visible.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, must you pursue us to extinction? We are willing to take a Heart Demon Oath never to oppose you, and offer half of our sect's treasures!" The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master urgently transmitted his voice, attempting one last struggle.
However, the only response he received was Xu Ping's icy gaze and... the slowly raised hand.
The Canghua Divine Wood Sword appeared once more.
No unnecessary words, no tentative attacks.
Xu Ping directly utilized the greatly improved power of the Profound Celestial Spiritual Treasure after its re-refinement.
He wielded the sword with one hand, aiming at the joint array covering the entire city, with a simple, single sword strike.
A sword strike condensed to the utmost, splitting heavens and earth asunder, a pure green sword light, like the blade of judgment from the Nine Heavens, silently cleaved into the brilliant array light screen.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound, terrifying and heart-rending, echoed through the city.
The joint defensive array, backed by the power of four Divinity Transformations, their great hope, in the face of this green sword light, was like a paper window, failing to hold up even for a breath, ruptured and shattered, splitting into two.
Turning into countless drifting light spots!
"Puff!"
"How is this possible?!"
The four Divinity Transformation cultivators simultaneously spurted blood, their faces pallid, eyes filled with boundless fear and disbelief.
Their last barrier for survival, couldn't even withstand a single sword from him?
Without the protection of the array, the four were exposed to Xu Ping's terrifying aura like a primordial beast, completely no longer opponents on the same level.
Xu Ping's figure flickered like a phantom.
Sword light arose again!
The first sword, the Celestial Secret Pavilion Master, along with his divining celestial secrets compass magical treasure, was split in two, Divine Soul extinguished!
The second sword, another beast-controlling Divinity Transformation cultivator, and his summoned colossal demon pet, together turned to ashes in the sword light!
The third sword, the fourth sword…
In just a few short breaths.
The four Divinity Transformation cultivators who dominated their realms and were renowned in the mortal world were all slaughtered by Xu Ping as if chopping vegetables.
They couldn't even organize a proper resistance.
Their immense luck and part of their essence, after falling, seemed to be invisibly drawn across space, pouring completely into Xu Ping's body, becoming the capital of that Profound Celestial Supreme Treasure.
Xu Ping carefully perceived it, just as he expected, the enhancement was indeed extremely minimal, almost negligible.
The appetite of the three Tribulation Supreme Treasure was far beyond what a few early-stage Divinity Transformation cultivators could satisfy.
Xu Ping was not at all disappointed with this outcome.
He simply did it as a handy move, clearing hidden dangers while slightly supplementing the Profound Celestial Spiritual Treasure.
He sheathed his sword and stood, his gaze calmly sweeping over the desolate Celestial Cloud City below.
Those Central Domain cultivators who were fortunate enough to survive the destructive aftershocks of the battle were now overwhelmingly shocked.
The first of the mortal world!
One man slaying four Divinity Transformation cultivators in a row!
They looked up at the sky, at the figure in blue robes wielding a sword, as if a deity, their eyes full of boundless awe, fear, and... a confusion from witnessing the birth of a legend.
Xu Ping ignored the gaze of these cultivators, exchanged a look with Duan Shuang, and then the two transformed into Escape Light, disappearing into the horizon.
He now needs to destroy the array suppressing the Wind Origin Realm.
....
Wind Origin Realm, Dragon Palace.
Within the Crystal Palace, when Ao Guang the Dragon King heard about Xu Ping, alone with a sword, massacring all eight Divinity Transformation cultivators in the mortal world.
This true dragon king at the Divinity Transformation stage was so shocked that his enormous dragon eyes suddenly widened, and his dragon whiskers moved automatically without wind, speechless for a moment, eyes wide open.
It's important to know, there were a full eight Divinity Transformation cultivators.
Among them, were top-tier Divinity Transformation cultivators.
But they all just fell like that?
Even across different realms, he could imagine what a cognition-overturning battle that would have been.
In his expectation, although Xu Ping was robust, facing an alliance of Divinity Transformation cultivators from other realms, the situation should have been evenly matched, with mutual counterbalance.
How could it have turned into such a one-sided massacre?
There was almost no room for struggle?
To what terrifying extent had Xu Ping's power reached!
A chill uncontrollably surged up from the dragon tail to the dragon head.
Ao Guang the Dragon King's enormous body slightly coiled, a trace of fear and relief flashed in his dragon pupils.
"Luckily... Fortunately, this king had doubts then, did not respond to Celestial Secret Master's sly covert link, and did not involve in this troublesome situation..." he murmured to himself.
If he had been momentarily mistaken at the time and joined the alliance to oppose Xu Ping.
With the ruthless and decisive means and absolute strength displayed by that killing star, he, the Lord of the Dragon Abyss, might not have ended well, or even his dragon pearl be at risk, his ten thousand years of accomplishment destroyed overnight!
"This child... cannot be restrained by mortal forces anymore!" Ao Guang the Dragon King drew his final conclusion.
He slowly lowered his huge dragon head, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Pass the order, the Dragon Abyss is closed for a millennium, no outside guests allowed! This king will retreat for cultivation, unless it's a matter of celestial significance, no disturbances!" Ao Guang the Dragon King's voice was low and carried an unprecedented solemnity.
Faced with an existence like Xu Ping that cannot be resisted, hibernating and avoiding the edge is the only choice.
First retreat for several hundred years, see how the situation evolves.
The entire Dragon Palace, following the Dragon King's command, began to slowly submerge into deeper parts of the sea, entirely isolated from the outside world.
...
A year later. Star Palace.
Two Escape Lights descended, revealing the figures of Xu Ping and Duan Shuang.
Returning to the core cave dwelling that had long been cleared and sorted, Xu Ping spoke gently to Duan Shuang and then once again commenced his retreat.
The stone door of the cave dwelling slammed shut, multiple restrictions rose.
As soon as he sat down, Xu Ping distinctly felt an unimaginably vast and almost tangible heavenly fortune rushing towards him from the void as if a flood.
No longer any blockage or suppression!
Not only that, due to his cutting down Celestial Secret Pavilion Master and other four Divinity Transformation cultivators in the Central Domain with thunderous means a year ago, some of the immense fortune accumulated over ten thousand years in the Central Domain dissipated and returned to the heavens.
Another part naturally flowed towards the now luck-favored Wind Origin Realm like water flowing downhill.
Fortune surging, Spiritual Qi roaring!
Above the old site of Star Palace, a gigantic vortex of Spiritual Qi and fortune covering tens of thousands of miles even formed, pouring endless energy as if through a funnel, its momentum several times more grand than when he broke through to Divinity Transformation in Heaven-Suppressing Sect.
