Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1705 - 1701: Severance

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

He knew that this move was extremely dangerous.

The true nature of the Divine Blood was unknown, and the power contained within it was the biggest variable.

How strong is this power?

Can this power distinguish between friend and foe?

If it’s weaker, even if it can distinguish, it wouldn’t matter much.

But it is feared that this power is exceptionally strong.

If it’s extremely powerful and can distinguish between the Divine Race and non-Divine Race, those considered not of my race must have a differing mind, hence if it decides to exterminate, can I withstand it?

Yet to give up the chance to penetrate the secrets of the Divine Race, he was absolutely unwilling.

The Elephant Beast said, "Unless you are of the Divine Race, otherwise, touching it will certainly invite attacks!"

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

The Elephant Beast said, "You are asking for trouble, bringing this upon yourself!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

He believed in the Elephant Beast’s judgment.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "If I cut it, turning it into smaller Blood Pearls, the power contained should be weaker, right?"

"Cutting?" The Elephant Beast frowned, "I’m afraid you won’t be able to cut it."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

The Elephant Beast said, "I’ve heard once Divine Blood has cooled, it becomes the world’s hardest material, indestructible."

Among the several Flying Knives suspended in mid-air, one trembled lightly and suddenly shot towards the Green Jade Ball.

"Ding..."

It was bounced away, after stopping in mid-air again, it shot back once more.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

After being bounced away several times, the Flying Knife returned to its original position, hovering.

The Elephant Beast felt it had a somewhat shameful feeling.

These Flying Knives have nurtured spirituality, more pets to Chu Zhiyuan than mere weapons.

The Elephant Beast shook its tail, "It’s not working, is it?"

"That may not be the case!" Chu Zhiyuan slowly unsheathed the Heavenly Sword at his waist.

The Elephant Beast said, "Your Heavenly Sword is formidable, but it cannot cut through that!"

"Ding..."

The Heavenly Sword collided with the Green Jade Ball, producing a clear and crisp sound.

The crystal clear Sword quivered continuously, with hints of Golden Light flickering, trying to escape Chu Zhiyuan’s grasp.

Chu Zhiyuan gave way, it immediately hovered in mid-air, trembling.

The Golden Light darted like an electric current, causing the Heavenly Sword to shake as if struck by electricity.

The Elephant Beast blinked its round eyes in surprise, its tail stopped wagging.

Chu Zhiyuan performed Sealing with both hands, the Great Demon Suppressing Seal condensed and fell upon the Sword.

The Sword’s Golden Light flickered violently several times then extinguished, the Sword returned to calmness.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, "Such formidable power."

He could imagine that the externally manifesting Golden Light could potentially attack him.

By sensing this power through the Heavenly Sword, it is indeed extremely pure.

If not for the unique trait of the Great Demon Suppressing Seal, just relying on Divine Essence could truly do nothing to this power.

This was merely the force of the recoil on the Heavenly Sword, the Great Demon Suppressing Seal was capable of dissipating it.

If this power were ten times or even a hundred times stronger, could the Great Demon Suppressing Seal still extinguish it?

He pondered thoughtfully.

The Elephant Beast’s eyes had turned into gold lines, staring unceasingly at the Golden Light.

After the Golden Light vanished, the Elephant Beast’s tail wagged forcefully, "This is more terrifying than that previous Purifying Divine Light! Fearful!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Wasn’t it the Purifying Divine Light just now?"

"It’s not the Purifying Divine Light," the Elephant Beast replied, "Earlier this light acts directly on the marrow blood, very frightening!"

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, "Marrow blood?... Can Divine Essence withstand it?"

"Of course it can’t, Spiritual Essence even less," the Elephant Beast remarked, "It specifically destroys marrow blood, annihilates the flesh, Spiritual Essence and Divine Essence can’t stop it, nor prevent the flesh’s destruction. Best to stay far away from it."

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

The Elephant Beast said, "If you don’t believe it, you could find some rascal to try it."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "My Great Demon Suppressing Seal can restrain it somewhat, the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree should be able to withstand it."

As he spoke, above his head slowly appeared the crystalline giant tree.

The towering tree was colorless and transparent, gently swaying its branches, scattering strands of starlight.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

The crystal-clear Heavenly Sword shot towards the Green Jade Ball again, emitting a clear and melodious sound.

The Golden Light immediately darted through the Heavenly Sword as if electric current, the Heavenly Sword trembling under the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree.

Strings of light descended upon the Sword.

As the light penetrated into the Sword, the Golden Light dimmed gradually until it vanished.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

"Effective, effective!" The Elephant Beast wagged its tail vigorously.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

"Unexpected, you managed to restrain this power!" The Elephant Beast praised, "This is the defense power of the Divine Race!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "In the world, there is no unbeatable power."

"Then..." The Elephant Beast hesitated.

Although this Demon Suppressing Divine Tree can hold back the Golden Light, it doesn’t necessarily mean the danger is lifted.

Attempting to touch this Divine Blood still poses great risks.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I still want to try cutting the Divine Blood Pearl."

He felt it should be minimized to mitigate risk.

"Your Heavenly Sword? It’s no use." The Elephant Beast said.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Among all his Spiritual Artifacts, none seemed sharper than the Heavenly Sword.

"Ding ding ding ding..." The Heavenly Sword shot towards the Green Jade Ball once more.

Simultaneously, the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree above showered clear light, extinguishing the Golden Light infilitrating the Heavenly Sword.

After a chain of dense ringing sounds, it abruptly halted.

The Heavenly Sword returned to its sheath, Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

The Elephant Beast wagged its tail, "The Heavenly Sword won’t do, how about letting those Stone Towers help?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Them?... Let’s try."

The Heavenly Sword was unsheathed again, suspended before him, as he slowly grasped the hilt.

Simultaneously, the Taixu True Scripture activated, drawing on the aura of the Taixu Tower, beginning to infuse the Heavenly Sword.

The Sword started to change, from transparent to milky white, then to a slight green, then emerald green, ultimately to dark green.

The emerald green Heavenly Sword was even deeper in color than the Green Jade Ball, then gracefully sliced down.

"Sizzle!"

With a gentle whistling sound, the Green Jade Ball split into two.

One part was large, one was small, the large was about nine times the size of the small.

Several streaks of Golden Light surged along the Sword body, like Golden Snakes coiling.

The Demon Suppressing Divine Tree swayed incessantly above in the Void, with clear radiance descending continuously.

As the Golden Light extinguished, the Sword ceased its trembling, and its green hue deepened further.

The aura of the Taixu Tower continually infused the Sword, having already reached its limit, yet with the appearance of the Golden Light, the capacity of the Sword’s limit rose.

The Heavenly Sword transformed from crystal-clear to completely black.

At this point the Green Jade Ball formed a Ball and a Pearl.

Separated, the shapes changed rapidly, reverting to roundness.

One became a Green Jade Ball, one became a Jade Pearl, identical in emerald green hue.

Chu Zhiyuan gripped the hilt tightly, slicing down again.

"Sizzle!"

The Jade Pearl split again into two.

Several streaks of Golden Light surged and entwined on the Sword, extinguished by the clear radiance of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree.

Chu Zhiyuan held the Sword that no longer trembled, but his expression was grave.

The Jade Pearl, only one-tenth of the original size, emitted Golden Light not inferior to the earlier Green Jade Ball.

This meant his plan failed.

The power contained within the Divine Blood does not change with its size.

The power the Green Jade Ball can emit, the Jade Pearl can equally emit.

Even absorbing the Jade Pearl, the backlash faced remains equally formidable.

The Elephant Beast’s tail ceased motion, staring unwaveringly at the Jade Pearl, discerning the problem.

Not to mention slicing it into a Pearl, even cutting it into grains, it might be the same.

The Divine Blood indeed was extraordinarily peculiar, not to be measured by common logic.

"What to do?" It turned to Chu Zhiyuan, "Give up maybe?"

Chu Zhiyuan gazed at the two Jade Pearls, slowly saying, "Let’s try again!"

Afterwards, the four Jade Pearls became dozens.

He finally released the Heavenly Sword, letting it return to its sheath.
