Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1438 - 655: Dao Pearl! (Part 2)
Previously on Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister...
Then it compressed into one corner.
"Don’t resist. The blood in the Blood Pool will slowly remold every part of your body."
The Daoist Saint sent out a strand of Spiritual Power, cutting off everything outside, then sat cross-legged facing Chen Xuan.
He stretched out a finger and dipped it into the Blood Pool.
The next instant, the Blood Pool actually began to boil.
"Gurgle gurgle gur..."
Bubble after bubble the size of a bowl mouth rose up, and Chen Xuan’s face flushed red along with them.
Because the temperature in the Blood Pool was getting higher and higher.
Right now, even if a ninth-layer Dao Realm expert entered the Blood Pool, he would be melted in an instant.
Not only that!
The Daoist Saint was also continuously injecting his own essence blood into the Blood Pool.
At the same time, he took out a green pearl from his robe.
His gaze showed a trace of reluctance... he looked at Chen Xuan, and in the end still tossed the pearl into the Blood Pool.
As the pearl sank in, he felt as if his own heart was bleeding.
This pearl was his reward for becoming a Saint Realm Heavenly Dao.
It contained supreme Great Dao, and was also a defensive supreme treasure—something even the other Seven Saints would find hard to break for a short while.
Now!
In order to let Chen Xuan help him withstand his tribulation, he had no choice but to take it out. Otherwise, mere aura was far from enough; it needed the flavor of the Great Dao.
At this moment he withdrew his hand.
Having lost so much essence blood, even he was badly drained.
"Perfect chance!"
Chen Xuan rejoiced inwardly. This old fool was courting death himself.
A streak of green light shot out in an instant, shrouding the entire great hall. In a flash, all Heavenly Secrets here were completely veiled.
"What?!"
The Daoist Saint’s originally weary eyes suddenly bulged. A terrifying aura erupted, and the space and time of the entire hall twisted chaotically at that moment.
But!
That Spirit Leaf suddenly flared, a beam of green light shooting out and enveloping the Daoist Saint below.
In an instant!
The Daoist Saint’s aura slowly slid downward, until it fell from the Saint Realm!
"Impossible!"
Terror flooded the Daoist Saint’s eyes, and a single word surfaced in his mind: "Tribulation!"
"Who are you?!!!!"
He glared viciously at Chen Xuan, but his voice was trembling by the end.
"Who am I?"
Chen Xuan leapt out of the Blood Pool, the green pearl from before already in his hand. He smiled faintly. "This thing’s pretty good. Seems your entire Dao was comprehended from inside it."
Every Saint Realm’s Great Dao comprehension is different.
This thing was a treasure among treasures.
Looks like it should be something his Heavenly Dao bestowed.
"Who exactly are you?!"
"Why are you plotting against this Saint?"
"Plot against you?"
Chen Xuan let out a derisive snort. "You people brought this on yourselves!"
"You... you’re from the Lower Realm!"
These days, aside from dealing with the Lower Realm, there had been nothing else!
"Not totally brainless."
Chen Xuan was in no hurry. Even a Saint, after being suppressed by the Spirit Leaf, wasn’t easy to kill; the key was how not to let the Heavenly Dao notice.
He jabbed a finger straight into the Daoist Saint’s glabella.
The power of the Great Dao surged forth, completely suppressing the Daoist Saint. "You’re really not weak."
If not for the Spirit Leaf’s suppression, even going all out he would have found it hard!
But right now the Daoist Saint was little different from a mortal, just with a somewhat tougher body.
"If you kill this Saint, the Heavenly Dao will not spare you."
"There is a contract between this Saint and the Heavenly Dao—if I encounter a powerful enemy, it will strike!"
Of course, that excluded situations where the Eight Saints attacked one another themselves.
But even though he was the toughest punching bag among the Eight Saints, if someone killed him, the other side wouldn’t have a good time either.
"Relax, it won’t know."
Chen Xuan chuckled softly. If the Spirit Leaf couldn’t even do this much... the New World Tree wouldn’t have entrusted it to him.
"You..."
The Daoist Saint looked at him; Chen Xuan’s words shattered the last shred of hope in his heart.
"Stop with the ’you...’ already."
"Right now you’re the fish on the chopping block, and I’m holding the knife."
"Live or die—it depends entirely on your performance."
Chen Xuan’s words made the already despairing Daoist Saint ignite with hope again. "You... you’re not going to kill me?"
The result he had deduced for himself was certain death!
That was why he had taken a disciple—to block his tribulation!
Now it seemed he’d been too naive. If a tribulation were that easy to get past, it wouldn’t deserve to be called a tribulation!
"Depends on whether you want to die or live." Chen Xuan spoke blandly.
The New World Tree wanted him to kill the Eight Saints of the Upper Domain.
But he hated being ordered around by others, and that damned thing had schemed against him more than once.
So he’d decided not to kill!
At least not yet—he would keep him for now.
Of course, if the Daoist Saint refused to behave and went looking for death himself, that’d be out of his hands.
"I want to live!"
The Daoist Saint spoke in a deep voice.
He’d finally cultivated to the Saint Realm; how could he possibly want to die?
Even ants know to cling to life, let alone him!
"Then hand over your soul!"
Chen Xuan didn’t waste words. If you want to fully control a Saint Realm, the only way is to control his divine soul.
"It’s yours!"
Unexpectedly, the Daoist Saint was extremely straightforward this time, without the slightest hesitation.
Because he had no choice!
Chen Xuan’s strength was somewhat above his, and with that leaf suppressing him, he had no chance to resist at all.
Since he’d chosen life, he might as well be decisive.
Watching the miniature Daoist Saint hovering in the air, Chen Xuan sent out strands of Great Dao power—this was something unique to the Saint Realm.
A Saint Realm’s divine soul has been baptized by the Heavenly Dao; normal methods are useless.
The power of the Great Dao spread like a web, corroding the Daoist Saint’s divine soul.
Chen Xuan didn’t dare be careless. Only after confirming that his Great Dao had taken root in every part of the divine soul did he stir his thoughts!
"Aaah—"
The Daoist Saint let out a scream of agony.
"Not bad."
Chen Xuan was very satisfied with his methods. This was something he’d evolved from the hybridization method he’d used back in the day.
"Go back."
As his words fell—
With a swish, the Daoist Saint’s divine soul returned to his own sea of consciousness.
