Chapter 1157: Chapter 728: Silence! Annihilation_2
After obtaining the Spiritual Pearl, Zhi Shang did not consu it imdiately but chose to take the Longevity Pill No. 2 provided by Chu Mo.
Having taken the Longevity Pill, the imnse dicinal power allowed Zhi Shang to regain his vitality. He was originally estimated to have only ten years left in his lifespan but gained another ten years. This ant that Zhi Shang would have at least twenty years of life without worry.
It was precisely because of this that Zhi Shang had ample ti to prepare and search for an opportunity to break through bit by bit. As for the Spiritual Pearl in his hands, it would be his last resort. If twenty years later, his lifespan was nearing its end and he still had not advanced, he could use the pearl just like Tianya did, to ascend through the pearl’s power.
The reason why Zhi Shang was reluctant to consu the Spiritual Pearl at the beginning was not because he did not desire to advance to a Celestial God, but deeply understood that once he relied on the pearl to advance, even if he successfully beca a Half-step Celestial God, the difficulty of advancing further would increase tenfold or more.
Just like Tianya, after he depended on the Spiritual Pearl to beco a Half-step Celestial God, his chances of advancing again were less than one percent, which is to say, the chances were slim.
However, if Zhi Shang could break through to a Half-step Celestial God on his own strength, his chances of ascending to the realm of Celestial God next would be one in ten. Though a ten percent chance was small, it was already ten tis more than what Tianya had, and this was why Zhi Shang could resist the temptation and chose to break through on his own!
Yet ti flies, and even Zhi Shang did not expect that in just a few days, Chu Mo, whom he originally thought was just an ordinary person, would actually co to him in an almost invincible manner.
A hundred years ago, when Zhi Shang was just a child, he was saved by the Xue family and it was they who took him to Shaolin and turned him into a initiated monk.
The fact that the helpless Zhi Shang could reach his current level was related to his diligent study and hard practice, but it was undeniable that the Xue family had also covertly enhanced his progress from behind. Many tis during his adolescence and youth, whenever he encountered difficulties, a mysterious force would help him solve all troubles. At first, Zhi Shang thought it was his deceased parents protecting him, but as ti passed and his mindset and strength grew, he began to subtly perceive the traces of the Xue family behind it!
Originally, Zhi Shang thought he could never repay the debt to the Xue family in this lifeti, but now it seems that this ti, he could finally settle accounts with the Xue family!
Ten years ago, Zhi Shang went alone to the Xue family holding the treasure of Shaolin, the Sharira, hoping to repay the family’s kindness with the relic, and sever his ties with the mundane world, but he was refused.
Ten years later, he would protect the descendants of the Xue family at the cost of his own life, facing the Celestial God alone whether in life or death, and from then on, there would be no more involvent with the Xue family!
Therefore, this ti, Zhi Shang did not hesitate.
Facing the divine majesty that could destroy heaven and earth, he finally crushed the Spiritual Pearl in his hand.
As the Spiritual Pearl shattered, the last trace of Grandmaster Liu Ping left in this world completely disappeared between heaven and earth.
anwhile, a breath of pure Spiritual Energy swiftly entered Zhi Shang’s body through his fingertips, and with the guidance of this strand of Spiritual Energy, when Zhi Shang slowly took a step forward, the Spiritual Energy inside him began to undergo the most fundantal transformation.
At this mont, Zhi Shang no longer cared about the chances of advancing in the future; he only wanted to reach Half-step Celestial God, to block the fatal strike for the descendants of the Xue family and repay their kindness.
So when Zhi Shang took the second step, the Innate True Qi inside his body, under the guidance of that strand of Spiritual Energy, began to slowly transform!
As the extrely pure Innate True Qi began to subli, condensing into strands of pure Spiritual Energy, Zhi Shang’s montum greatly increased. His body began to emit rays of Buddhist light, and then, like the sun, the glimr illuminated the entire earth. The world that had been solidified by Chu Mo, under the baptism of the Buddhist light, was rejuvenated with life once more.
Then, Zhi Shang with his hands pressed together, a phrase of Buddhist Law escaped his lips!
“Amitabha, Amitabha!”
As he took the third step, all the Innate True Qi in his body transford into pure Spiritual Energy. Zhi Shang, who had his hair turned from white to black in an instant, experienced a sudden tenfold increase in his aura; he finally completed the final transformation.
In this mont, Zhi Shang, radiating the purest light of Buddhism from head to toe, finally reached the peak that all mortals dream of.
Half-step Celestial God!
“Benefactor Chu! The sea of suffering is boundless…
Turning back is the shore!”
As Zhi Shang stepped into the realm of Half-God with his black hair fluttering in the wind, his Kasaya robe fluttered without wind, and his whole person appeared as if a Buddha descended to the mortal world.
Under the protection of the Buddhist light, the four individuals from the Family Head’s Xue family and servants were finally no longer oppressed by the terrifying pressure emanating from Chu Mo and could once again breathe fresh air.
At this ti, the young girl in the pink dress, who had fainted from the imnse pressure, finally regained consciousness. This blooming 14-year-old girl had not even had the chance to show her joy when the mysterious man in midair suddenly stretched out both hands.
In the next mont, a terror, more than ten tis greater than before, started to condense again. The new Half-step Celestial God Zhi Shang, who had just opposed Chu Mo’s montum, once again showed a look of despair on his aged face.
“Amitabha… Amitabha!”
A Buddhist Law proclamation resonated, and Master Zhishang’s hair turned from black to white once again. Then, a terrifyingly powerful pressure, mighty enough to move mountains and overturn seas, approached with daunting speed!
“I stand unrivaled in this world… All of you are but ants!”
These were the last words that reached Zhishang’s ears.
At this mont, there were no regrets or frustration in Zhishang’s heart, and likewise, there were no feelings of resentnt and hatred.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through the depth of Zhishang’s heart:
“I stand unrivaled in this world… What a proud yet lonely scene that must be!”
However, no one responded to Zhishang’s sentint, and what approached him head-on was the terror of space-rending pressure!
Even now, as Zhishang had reached the state of Half-step Celestial God, even as he was among the most powerful beings in the world, facing the power of gods, he had absolutely no chance to challenge it.
Therefore, with no pain and no regrets, Zhishang, with his hands pressed together, gently closed his eyes, calmly eting his death.
The terrifying pressure that tore through space reached its zenith, and the golden Buddhist aura that surrounded Zhishang didn’t possess the slightest resistance, crumbling instantly under the imnse terrifying pressure.
As the space-rending pressure was about to reach his crown, Zhishang heard the young man’s indifferent voice once more!
“If you retreat now, I shall spare your life!”
With his silver hair rapidly fading away, Zhishang did not hesitate and said in an incredibly calm voice:
“I only ask that Chu Mo show rcy to the descendants of the Xue family! This old monk is deeply grateful!
Amitabha!
Well said, well said!”
…!
The lodious sound of Buddhist Law entered his ears, and at that mont, in Chu Mo’s mind, a voice with a tallic tone suddenly rang out!
“The invincible skill is about to end, with the one-minute limit approaching, please return to the ground promptly, host!
Skill end countdown!
Five…!
Four…!
Three…!”
At this mont, Chu Mo, suspended in mid-air, gently closed his eyes. He raised his hands and pushed down forcefully, and instantly, the massive pressure that ripped through space bombarded towards the ground.
As the system countdown reached its last second, Chu Mo’s body slowly descended to the ground. The whole world regained its calmness, as if nothing had happened, yet the only difference was the appearance of a one-ter diater hole before Chu Mo, bottomless and ford out of nowhere!
And just at that mont, Chu Mo suddenly realized that the Sharira in his embrace, which had previously shattered, had beco scalding hot. When he took the Sharira out of his pocket, he found that the cracks had disappeared, and within the Sharira, a mysterious energy had been replenished.
Gently examining the Sharira in his hand, Chu Mo murmured to himself:
“So that’s how it is… The Sharira are the condensed essences of past Shaolin Abbots at the end of their lives…!”
Storing the energy-replenished Sharira, Chu Mo turned his gaze back to the front, where the four servants of the Xue family head were as silent as cicadas in winter!
Chu Mo’s gaze gently rested on the four people opposite him, and suddenly, he spoke lightly:
“System skill, Eyes of Death! Activate!”
