tiger cub nervously."Don’t worry, Jinjin," Shen Xiang chuckled. He didn't want the cub to leave him either as it was a trump card."Merveil, pack up tonight. There might be something bad happening tom...Chapter 1274 - Nine Catastrophes
After the new Heavenly Capital stabilized, many powerhouses started ascending and heading to Heaven Realm. Although most of them hoped that their respective forces would gain strength in the new Heavenly Capital, enabling them to have a certain level of power when Heaven Realm and Imperial Capital were connected in the future.
Meanwhile, Shen Xiang was striving to improve his strength as well. He would soon be able to produce the ninth Dharmic embryo and had spent more than thirty years progressing from this stage. The deeper he went, the harder it became to advance. He originally thought that he could finish within ten years but found it incredibly challenging even when he had plenty of medicinal pills, Enlightenment Stones, and advanced cultivation techniques to work with.
“My divine power cannot solidify into divine qi yet!” Shen Xiang was somewhat disappointed as he was about to break through, but his advancement in the divine path wasn’t quick.
“I’m also struggling to cultivate it,” said Long Xueyi. Over this period, she often practiced the divine fusion technique with Shen Xiang, which made their relationship immensely intimate and deepened their bond. As they say, love blossoms when people spend time together.
Shen Xiang swallowed four mixed essence pills, which he had just produced.
“I’m only one step away from the ninth Dharmic embryo forming, and the涅槃 Nine Catastrophes are imminent. I wonder how powerful it would be” Shen Xiang looked forward to the涅槃 Ninth Catastrophe, most of his other涅槃 Catastrophes were extremely powerful and twisted. However, in his eyes, it was a harsh test that could serve as an advantage.
“Don’t paddle the boat and sink yourself. Although you might not die from a failure, you’d need to start over at that time and know how painful it would be,” said Long Xueyi with a stern voice.
“I know!”
“Have they responded yet” Shen Xiang waited for years but Song Meiyao and Bai Youyou remained unconscious. This made him worry every time he thought about it.
“No. Still the same.” Long Xueyi had answered him several times already, originally assuming that Song Meiyao and Bai Youyou would wake up soon. However, decades later, they still hadn’t changed, causing her to start worrying too, though she didn’t know what to do.
“The last catastrophe. Stay calm and make sure you pass!” Long Xueyi said sternly.
Swallowing four mixed essence pills took Shen Xiang ten days, during which he meticulously conducted the process. The ninth Dharmic embryo had already taken form.
“Is it here” Shen Xiang opened his eyes, sensing a tremendous change in the other Dharmic pills’ qi energy. He felt it become very strong after the completion of the ninth day embryo. Although only the ninth day embryo formed its embryo, it made all the other Dharmic pills seem to merge together.
Shen Xiang was in a underground stone room, but the surroundings gradually turned white. He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion or a mere hallucination, maybe he entered into a strange space.
“You shouldn’t have entered this realm. This means you would die in my hands,” came a familiar voice. Shen Xiang looked around and was startled when he saw the person.
The speaker was none other than Bai Hu!
“Senior Bai Hu How did you end up here!” Shen Xiang mentally called out to Long Xueyi, but she didn’t answer.
“This must be an illusion!” Shen Xiang thought in his heart, assuming it was likely a mental attack or something similar, which wouldn’t be easy to overcome.
Bai Hu’s face suddenly turned cold as intense killing intent spread, accompanied by a black fog surrounding his body. This was clearly the force of the Dark Law.
Shen Xiang’s expression grew grave. He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, and he hadn’t heard of any cases where a catastrophe would result in such occurrences.
“This isn’t an illusion. I’m the ruler of this sky, and any person like you growing stronger will destroy this heaven, causing suffering for the living. Either commit suicide or let me handle it,” Bai Hu said.
Hearing Bai Hu’s words, Shen Xiang chuckled with a cold smile. “Don’t try to fool me. I don’t know what’s happening, but you’re definitely not Bai Hu. There’s no way you can deceive me.”
Shen Xiang’s mind was strong and wasn’t easily swayed by others. He took out the Green Dragon Slaying Demon Blade and used his most powerful force, swinging it at Bai Hu. He sliced him into pieces of black fog.
“You can’t kill me, I’ve grasped the power of the Dark Law!” Bai Hu said with a cold smile before releasing an explosion of black energy. This force enveloped Shen Xiang.
Shen Xiang’s body trembled as his divine power was released. The divine light purified the darkness instantly.
“With only this level of strength, do you still want to impersonate Bai Hu Stop trying. If it really was Bai Hu出手, I would have died already back then. Without that strength, you’re just trying to play the part of a strong expert” Shen Xiang laughed and confirmed that the person before him wasn’t Bai Hu.
He secretly admired the effectiveness of this illusion technique. He guessed that Bai Hu was extracted from his memories as the strongest existence he had ever encountered, and now it was manipulated to make Bai Hu appear. However, Bai Hu’s strength far exceeded Shen Xiang’s, so much that even an illusion couldn’t simulate such power. Shen Xiang hadn’t been exposed to Bai Hu’s true strength.
“Is the Ninth Catastrophe just a mental catastrophe” Shen Xiang released all his divine power and punched Bai Hu, knocking him apart.
After killing Bai Hu, the white space vanished. Then, a loud rumbling sound echoed as Shen Xiang felt hit by a strong force. His organs were instantly shattered from the impact.
Fortunately, his physical body was strong. Even with damaged organs, as long as they were still intact, it wouldn’t have too much of an impact on him. For others without the Heavenly Sage’s body, they would have already been eradicated by the attack just now.
The stone room where Shen Xiang was located was completely destroyed by the force. A large area of the ground collapsed, and he rose from the ground only to see that the sky was pitch black with thick clouds covering it.
“Mental attacks to confuse me, buying time, then a forceful catastrophe hits without warning. Hm, the涅槃 Nine Catastrophes are indeed powerful and know how to play tricks,” Shen Xiang thought to himself.
Although the force that attacked him earlier was powerful and caused some damage, Shen Xiang had recovered by now. He had previously integrated many things in his dantian, resulting in a significant improvement across multiple aspects of his capabilities. For example, the combination of Bone Soul and Jade Dragon bloodline allowed him to quickly repair his physical injuries.
“Come!” Shen Xiang stood on the peak of a mountain, watching as a massive red giant palm reached out from the thick clouds. It fiercely struck down, and its destructive energy could destroy a mountain range.
However, Shen Xiang broke its strike with a single punch!丹，這種天賦相當可怕。“擊敗宋鵬，還想挑戰張卓。看你現在的樣子，應該不像那麼狂的人。”那長髮男子打量著沈翔，對沈翔產生了濃厚的興趣。沈翔和馮羽潔心中都擔憂著，因為他和宋鵬、張卓有矛盾。現在張卓和宋鵬都已經死了，如果被人聯絡起來，沈翔可能會有些麻煩。隻要冇有確鑿的證據，沈翔是不會認真的。他自信自己當初做得乾淨，不會留下什麼痕跡，除非許靈菲和她奶奶揭發他。沈翔微微一笑：“我本不狂，但如果有人在我麵前狂...
