Primordial Divine Emperor

Chapter 522 - 238: Kingly Bearing, Realm of Eight Slashes, Encirclement Means Annihilation (Part 2)

Three years, from the peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm to the Realm of Eight Slashes, what a god-like speed, no, it should be as mythical as a deity, a myth beyond gods.

Such a breakthrough speed has thoroughly shattered everyone’s worldview and understanding.

"How can someone break through two Great Realms in three years? And into the Realm of Eight Slashes?"

"It’s truly unimaginable. Could this be the terrifying aspect of a Sixth Grade Forbidden Martial Soul?"

Many newly emerged extraordinary geniuses from the peak of the Hundred Sects have gone completely mad. No one knows what they experienced during this ’year,’ which seems even more terrifying than the Nine Nether Purgatory.

Achieving the eight slashes in the Self-Slaying Realm in three years is an occurrence never before seen in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range. It is not just breaking records; it is beyond everyone’s imagination, reaching an extreme level of terror.

And within these ’three years,’ that figure even engaged divine and demonic oppression to refine the body, elevating the physical form to an unimaginable level of prowess.

The reason everyone is so terrified is because the Hundred Broken Mountain Range has never seen such a worldly and shocking existence as a Forbidden Martial Soul, and no one has a concept of the cultivation speed of such ancient forbidden anomalies.

Now, witnessing firsthand the rapid growth of that figure, an array of shocking figures are trembling to the extent that even their divine souls are quivering.

"Eight Slash Self-Slaying Realm, Realm of Eight Slashes." In the boundless void, Ke Zhenling stared blankly at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, muttering words in his mouth, utterly overwhelmed to the point of near collapse.

Even for him, within the barrier filled with terrifying spirit veins like an ocean, in three years he only reached the ’Three Slash Realm,’ while that person is striving for the ’Eight Slashes.’ How could this not leave him shocked?

One must know, before entering the ’Space-Time Barrier,’ he was an unparalleled genius at the peak of the True Self Realm, one of the twenty-plus renowned peak talents of the Divine Sword Sect.

Yet even so, in a mere three years, that figure left him far behind.

At this moment, not just Ke Zhenling, even Jian Wushuang, Li Mofeng, Luo Qingxian, and Luo Qingchen, the extraordinary geniuses, were petrified on the spot.

One must know, when they first entered the ’Space-Time Barrier,’ among them, the terrifying cultivators in the Self-Slaying Realm were already at ’One Slash Two Slashes’ or even ’Five Slashes Six Slashes’ Realm. Now, after three years, the most terrifying among them only reached the ’Eight Slashes Nine Slashes’ standard, whereas the other party has arrived at ’Eight Slashes.’

Although the other party is currently only striving for the ’Eight Slashes’ Realm, it’s from the peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm, the terror within is unspeakable, making one’s scalp tingle and spine chill.

Achieving this feat in three years is beyond belief, some might even think they’re mad; in this short cultivation time, breaking through two Great Realms, some slightly less gifted extraordinary geniuses can’t even reach the ’One Slash’ Realm.

Three years for ’Eight Slashes,’ what an astonishing and unprecedented cultivation speed, even those with mighty ’Sacred Bodies’ or ’Divine Bodies’ among the Sacred Race’s first Saint Heir would pale in comparison.

All at once, everyone’s hearts were pounding, seemingly hearing the accelerated heartbeat echoing throughout the heavens and earth as tightly as possible.

The person now is no longer the ant at the peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm but has grown to stand shoulder to shoulder with them, no, perhaps even more terrifying because the terrifying Self-Slaying aura on the other surpasses belief.

At the moment when everyone was staring blankly at that scene.

Rumble——!!!

Ye Xiaofan was undergoing a massive shock, an unparalleled terrifying aura erupted wildly, and his entire being was undergoing an astonishing transformation.

Within his body, in the boundless Vast Profound Sea, a ten-thousand-foot Divine Sword phantom formed within the Profound Sea Firmament, exuding a heaven-devouring might, pointing at the ’Golden True Self’ sitting cross-legged below.

Currently, Ye Xiaofan’s ’Golden True Self’ is completely different; the aura on the ’True Self’ has become so much stronger than at its initial gathering, exuding a world-destroying, heaven-defying monstrous pressure.

It sat silently within the Profound Sea, as if an unrecovered Great Emperor, causing this world to tremble incessantly.

And at the moment when the ten-thousand-foot Divine Sword phantom gathered at the peak of the Profound Sea, the entire ’Golden True Self’ suddenly opened its eyes, as if a seed of self-awareness had been born, slowly gazing at the ’Sword of Self-Slaying’ hovering above its head.

This is the sign of a breakthrough in the Self-Slaying Realm. The ’True Self’ condensed by cultivators is too defiant, and with the continuous strengthening of the cultivator, the ’True Self’ also grows crazily, eventually reaching an extremely terrifying height.

This kind of ’True Self,’ though being one with the cultivator, following the path of extremes, when the ’True Self’ becomes powerful to a certain limit, a trace of self-awareness will arise, wanting to rid itself of the main body and exist independently.

Usually, at this moment, the cultivator needs to ’slash themselves,’ that is, ’cut off the True Self,’ to reshape the ’True Self Origin,’ essentially this means slashing not only the ’rebelling consciousness’ of the ’True Self’ but also step by step slashing away the cultivator’s mortal flesh.

Currently, Ye Xiaofan is striving for the ’Realm of Eight Slashes,’ meaning that he has already slashed seven times before, and each time slashing the ’True Self’ is a terrifying qualitative change.

Right now, Ye Xiaofan’s ’Seven Slashes Golden True Self’ within the Profound Sea once again developed self-awareness, and it’s more intense every time. What he needs to do now is to cut away the newborn consciousness within. If he fails to slash himself, the ’Golden True Self’ may backfire on its master, taking over.
