Capítulo 1123: Chapter 1142: Tianyuan Kingdom
“Why do I possess the Devouring Technique? You’re not qualified to know, because soon you’ll become a dead man.”
Ye Xuan’s eyes were sinister and his lips curled into a cruel smile as he strode toward the Tailing Saint King, his gaze on Tailing Saint King as if looking at a prey.
Having devoured the cultivation of Huntian Saint King, Ye Xuan’s cultivation had increased significantly, but there was still a gap to reach the Saint King Realm. The Tailing Saint King before him was a true Nine Heavens Saint King. If he devoured his cultivation, Ye Xuan was certain he could step into the Saint King Realm.
Some might ask, why had Ye Xuan not crossed into the Saint King Realm after devouring Huntian Saint King?
Actually, the reason is quite simple.
Because Ye Xuan crossed a Mutated Chaos Saint Tribulation, he could sweep across invincibly in the Great Saint Realm due to the mutation of the Chaos Saint Tribulation.
But the downside is quite obvious; the cultivation resources he needs are hundreds or thousands of times more than an ordinary Great Saint, and as his realm rises, the resources needed become unimaginably large.
To give the simplest analogy.
The Great Saint Realm is like a barrel; an ordinary Great Saint can only hold a barrel of water, while Ye Xuan can contain a whole lake, which is simply incomparable.
Of course, it’s not really a downside. Even though Ye Xuan requires unimaginable cultivation resources, the advantages are also apparent.
In every realm, Ye Xuan can be almost invincible at the same level, except against those legendary War Bodies and some Mutated Battle Bodies. Hardly anyone at the same realm can be his match.
Now, with such a big piece of fat like the Tailing Saint King in front of him, how could Ye Xuan let it slip?
A Nine Heavens Saint King!
And a Nine Heavens Saint King with personal issues; this is the pinnacle of the Saint King Realm, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As long as he devours the cultivation of the Tailing Saint King, Ye Xuan dares to guarantee that he can definitely step into the Saint King Realm.
“You want to devour my cultivation?”
Boom!
The Tailing Saint King unleashed a dreadful majesty, exuding an extremely terrifying aura, with a cold look passing through his eyes towards Ye Xuan.
Buzz!
Ye Xuan’s fervent gaze cooled instantly, his steps paused, and his brows furrowed slightly.
As they say, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Even though the Tailing Saint King had personal issues, he wasn’t someone Ye Xuan could kill at will. If cornered, Tailing Saint King might risk everything.
Ye Xuan calmed down quickly, suppressing the greed within his heart, clearly realizing that Tailing Saint King was a tough nut to crack and it was better to plan slowly.
Of course, Ye Xuan had many trump cards and a fifty percent chance of killing the Tailing Saint King.
But the Nine Heavens Saint King was two realms above him, and Ye Xuan wasn’t familiar with the methods of a Nine Heavens Saint King, and he didn’t want to take that risk.
“If I don’t kill you, should I keep you around to spawn children?”
Although Ye Xuan had stopped thinking about taking action, he still threatened the Tailing Saint King verbally. It wasn’t in his nature to let go without squeezing some benefits from the other party.
Honestly speaking, the Tailing Saint King did not want to fight with Ye Xuan, since he wasn’t confident in killing Ye Xuan.
He could only exhibit the cultivation of a Lesser Saint King, and doing so would damage his origin, which was not the outcome he desired.
“Daoist Ye, although I have personal issues, you still can’t kill me. If we really fight, it will only result in mutual destruction. How about making a trade instead?”
Tailing Saint King lowered his stance, even changing his address from calling Ye Xuan “young friend” to “Daoist friend.”
“Oh? What kind of trade?” Ye Xuan’s eyes shifted as he spoke.
“Have you heard of the Heavenly Essence Pill?” Tailing Saint King lowered his voice and asked.
“Heavenly Essence Pill?”
Ye Xuan’s expression subtly changed, momentarily stunned.
And what is the Heavenly Essence Pill?
The Heavenly Essence Pill is a Chaos Spirit Pill, famed alongside the Heavenly Mending Pill. Ye Xuan had seen its description in the tomes of Miao Fa Kingdom.
A Great Saint who consumes the Heavenly Essence Pill can directly ascend to the Saint King Realm; it is a spirit pill that seizes the creation of Heaven and Earth. However, this elixir is extremely rare, being the supreme treasure crafted by Tianyuan Kingdom, which was destroyed in a previous era, making this elixir extinct.
“You have the Heavenly Essence Pill?”
Ye Xuan snapped out of it, eyes squinting as he looked at Tailing Saint King. He couldn’t believe that Tailing Saint King would be so kind, actually giving him a Heavenly Essence Pill.
“The Heavenly Essence Pill is a Chaos Spirit Pill, naturally, I don’t have it. But I know where there is the Heavenly Essence Pill. Not only that, but the place also holds many treasures,” Tailing Saint King said with a slight smile.
“Oh?”
Ye Xuan’s eyes shifted. He had known it couldn’t be that simple, and he guessed it right. He wanted to see what Tailing Saint King was up to.
Looking at the strange smile on Ye Xuan’s face, Tailing Saint King knew Ye Xuan wasn’t a simple character, as cunning as he was, and so he didn’t beat around the bush and spoke frankly: “Aren’t you curious why I have personal issues? It’s actually related to that place. Please allow me to explain…”
Thirty million years ago.
The Tailing Saint King was still a Great Saint King. By chance, he discovered the ruins of the Tianyuan Kingdom and entered it; although Tianyuan Kingdom had long been destroyed, a large number of treasures remained.
Regrettably, even though Tianyuan Kingdom was destroyed, the restrictions left behind were terribly frightening. Tailing Saint King went all out to break a single restriction and obtained a Heavenly Essence Pill.
It was because of this Heavenly Essence Pill that Tailing Saint King could step into the Nine Heavens Saint King realm.
Unfortunately, within the Tianyuan Kingdom, he suffered a great calamity and had to flee in panic, and the entrance to the Tianyuan Kingdom was sealed once again.
According to Tailing Saint King’s calculations, the entrance opens once every thirty million years, and each time it opens for only a hundred years, making it impossible for him to enter even if he wanted to.
After returning to Taichu Sacred Land, Tailing Saint King consumed the Heavenly Essence Pill and began cultivation, quickly stepping into the Nine Heavens Saint King Realm.
However, Tailing Saint King was too impatient. He wanted to step into the Creation Realm by the next entrance’s opening and intended to seize all the treasures of Tianyuan Kingdom for himself.
Ultimately, Tailing Saint King went astray in his cultivation, suffered unimaginable damage, and his Nine Heavens Saint King’s cultivation could not be fully utilized. If he easily used his cultivation, there was a risk of self-destruction.
Now, with three years left until Tianyuan Kingdom opens, Tailing Saint King was naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity, as only the treasures within Tianyuan Kingdom could heal his current injuries.
“Daoist friend, now you understand why I can’t fully leverage my Nine Heavens Saint King cultivation!” Tailing Saint King sighed with feigned sentiment.
“You want to invite me to enter Tianyuan Kingdom with you?” Ye Xuan squinted his eyes and asked.
