Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 135: Chapter 59: Enslaving the Gods 1

Shen Yuan was unaware of the cascade of butterflies his sword move had stirred up.

He had pushed his limits well beyond his control by expending a wisp of Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames to execute the union of the sword and Elemental Qi.

Even if he were to confront the Muddy Water True Dragon who ruled over the three hundred li water domain, Shen Yuan was confident that he could slay it with one sword strike, allowing the flames of the Great Sun’s True Flames to evaporate the massive water domain entirely.

Of course, swinging such a sword move far beyond his limits was not without a price.

Shen Yuan could feel the mana, several times higher than his fellow cultivators at the same level, was nearly drained by this sword strike. His imitation primordial spirit, which executed the union of sword and Elemental Qi, was tormented by the sorching Sun True Flame, evaporating a large portion of his primordial spirit energy.

If it were not for the fact that the entire desolate mountain had turned into a scorched wasteland where no one dared to approach following his sword strike, Shen Yuan, who was weak at this moment, could have been eliminated by a few random monsters from the monster tribe.

Shen Yuan promptly took out an intricate jade bottle from his storage ring. Upon opening the bottle, a large amount of pure spirit energy constantly poured out.

This was the Heaven’s Spirit Pool Elixir which Shen Yuan had prepared before he set off. He had intended to use it as a treasure for exchange, but unexpectedly, it had come in handy here.

Without any hesitation, Shen Yuan directly consumed a drop of the spiritual liquid. “Purple Clouds Elemental Qi Refinement Method” was continuously employed to transfer spirit energy to replenish his dried up dantian.

Under the dense spirit energy, his mana rapidly recovered. The moment he shook off the feeling of physical weakness, Shen Yuan quickly rose to his feet and hastily left the place.

The spectacle of his sword qi’s union and the transformation of the Darkness- Light sword was too sensational. When he executed the sword move, perhaps the monster tribes nearby would have been too cautious to approach.

But, given time, other people would undoubtedly cast their eyes on this place, so Shen Yuan had to leave as early as possible.

Holding the worried Bai Xue in his arms, Shen Yuan manipulated the winds to subtly depart, leaving only the desolate mountain scorched by the blistering sun behind.

Half an hour after Shen Yuan had left, a gigantic golden eagle, whose aura had reached the Qi Training Stage, circled the desolate mountain.

The eagle’s gaze studied the surrounding area, as if searching for a single trace of evidence.

However, the impact range of that sword move was huge. All auras were scattered by the radiant Great Sun, not even the golden eagle could pick up any trace.

After the golden eagle arrived, other animals like a white deer, a grey wolf, a spotted panther, and a giant serpent… all powerful beings kept arriving at this place. The looks in their eyes as they surveyed this scorched land were full of shock.

All the trees within dozens of li turned into charcoals, and the rocks on the ground had already melted, leaving several rivers of magma crisscrossing the scorching land. The desolate land was still veiled in that lofty, sacred radiance, evoking a sense of reverence among the monsters.

They could clearly feel that the object of that sword move was not the desolate mountain. The scorched land was only caused by the residual energy of the sword.

Otherwise, what was devoured by that high temperature would definitely not just be this desolate mountain.

As the local deities of the Yunfu mountains, they profoundly felt a fear too ineffable to describe.

If such a catastrophe came upon them, they would stand no chance of resistance, even if they had reached the Spirit Transmutation Stage.

Among the local deities of the mountains, a white deer could not help but say:

“The Spirit Energy Tidal Surge just returned no more than half a year ago. What kind of person could cause such a spectacle?”

This sentence seemed to have been a cue, and the deities of the mountains started to discuss.

“Was he fighting someone? Could there possibly be hidden powerful figures in these Yunfu mountains which we do not know about?”

“Shush! Don’t forget that several mountain gods died one after another a few days ago, perhaps it was this big figure who was responsible.”

“The demon cultivator who brutally killed the Black Wind Mountain God a few days ago appeared to be scared according to the traces from the scene; he is not a notable figure at all. How could he be related to this occurrence?”

“I think you all better not speculate recklessly.

The level of power he has displayed is far beyond the reach of even our Mountain Lord, who possesses a talisman edict awarding divine powers. If you offend him due to inappropriate remarks and attract troubles, no one can help you.”

Be careful and prudent with your words, careful and prudent!”

The golden eagle cast a cold look at the gathered local deities discussing below. Even though a few of them had already reached the Qi Training Stage, the eagle maintained its arrogant demeanor, deigning not to communicate with the mountain gods below it.

At this moment, the golden eagle seemed to have heard something. It immediately lowered its haughty head in the direction of the center of Yunfu mountains as its countenance slightly changed.

After a few breaths, the loud voice of the golden eagle echoed in the scorched land.

Our Mountain Lord has ordered us to thoroughly investigate the entire Yunfu mountains to find out the clue about the root cause of this disorder.”

At these words, the expression on the faces of all the local gods turned angry immediately.

“Not to mention whether we can find any traces or not, just how can we offend such an existence arbitrarily?”

“I don’t care who goes, but I’m not going!”

The White Deer Mountain God even outspokenly said:

“This is sending us straight to our deaths!”

As one of the powerful beings at the Qi Training Stage in Yunfu mountains, the White Deer Mountain God and the monsters under his command held a significant influence over the entire Yunfu mountains. He also had ancestors hibernating in the grotto heavens sacramental ground at the center of the mountains.

He himself had not much affiliation with the Yunfu Mountain Lord and ignoring his position as a mountain god, he was a first-rate Great Demon. So, he didn’t feel the need to be overly cautious.

With the White Deer Mountain God taking the lead, other monster tribes naturally followed his call.

“We will not agree to die for nothing!”

The golden eagle was about to threaten with a ferocious look in its eyes, but a deep voice echoed through the mountains.

“The mountains told me that the real realm of the person who attacked was not high. He was able to strike that sword only due to the use of some special treasures.

Otherwise, do you think I am so stupid as to provoke such a figure willingly?” As soon as these words were spoken, all the Mountain Gods’ eyes flickered significantly.

Reliance on your own strength to unleash that single strike and attainment of this level using a treasure, are two utterly different concepts.

Especially as usually, such treasures are consumables, their usage thereafter would drain one’s strength and exhaust them greatly, the person who exerted this power would certainly not return to their peak stage.

This was precisely why Yunfu Mountain Lord was confident in letting them look for the evidence.

The assembly of Mountain Gods remained silent as the Yunfu Mountain Lord spoke again in a cold voice:

“As long as you find any trace of the offender, I will bestow upon you the true position of a Mountain God with the divine edict talisman.”

As these words fell, it caused an instant uproar.

Most Mountain Gods’ eyes were wide open, their faces filled with avarice.

They are currently called Mountain Gods, but in truth, they’re nothing more than the placeholders of the Mountain God Seal granted by the Yunfu Mountain Lord, they have no real position of Mountain God.

The Yunfu Mountain Lord can retrieve their Mountain God Seal with a single thought, stripping the power of incense from them and banishing them back to the mundane world.

Other than a few Great Demons in the Qi Training Stage, the fates of all other Mountain Gods were entirely in the hands of the Yunfu Mountain Lord.

This is why the titles of thirty-two Mountain Gods of Yunfu Mountain range have remained unchanged for thousands of years. Because the Mountain God Seal is the real entity, and they are merely holders.

And for the Yunfu Mountain Lord to bestow the true position of a Mountain God with the divine edict talisman, it’s an entirely different matter.

The position of a real Mountain God cannot be casually revoked, it promises the eternal fortune from incense offerings, and even the Yunfu Mountain Lord has to protect the Mountain Gods given this dignity. It is almost like a local lord within a human dynasty

This, for the Mountain Gods at the peak stage of the Qi Transformation Stage, was an irresistible temptation.

“We comply with Mountain Lord’s edict!”

“We comply with Mountain Lord’s edict!”

A large number of Mountain Gods scattered like birds and beasts, disappearing into the mountains.

They had to return immediately, dispatching demonic hordes to look for any traces about the person who exerted the power.

As for the great war with the Human Clan of Yun Province? The monster tribes lost in the war?

The Yunfu mountain range stretches thousands of miles and boasts the most superior spiritual vein in Yun Province, the plentiful resource it has most are monster tribes.

Just over a month, a new batch of demons can emerge; and as for the lost war, it doesn’t matter if it is lost. As long as the mountain range is secure, the Human Clan can’t step into the Cloud Floating Monster Territory.

To expand territory in the future, any excuse will be enough to start a war.

On this desolate mountain, only a few more Great Demons in the Qi Training Stage were left.

The voice of the Yunfu Mountain Lord spoke once again.

” I know you all have large tribes and slumbering ancestors and do not need this true position of a Mountain God.

But I can promise you, as long as you find any trace of the offender, I can give you a slot in the Yunfu blessed land.

You do not need to take action in this matter, this price is fair enough.”

Many of the Great Demons in the Qi Training Stage did not immediately respond. The eyes of the golden eagle in the sky showed increasing hostility, oppressively terrifying pressure unreservedly pressing from above.

Finally, after the prolonged silence, the White Deer Mountain God nodded his head, saying:

“I accept your conditions.”

When the White Deer Mountain God spoke, the other few Great Demons naturally did not refuse.

With that, the gathering dispersed, within the shroud of darkness, a much larger crisis was slowly brewing.

Shen Yuan was sitting cross-legged in a guesthouse in Yunfu Street, gradually refining the spiritual liquid in his body.

As the dried-up dantian was filling up with mana, Shen Yuan gradually regained some strength from his previous state of weakness.

The Primordial Spirit, burned by the Sun’s True Flame, still throbbed with a fiery pain. The loss of a significant amount of Primordial Spirit Strength also made Shen Yuan temporarily unable to summon the Primordial Spirit Sword Control Method.

For Shen Yuan, whose strength mainly lay in the Sword Dao, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

However, Shen Yuan did not regret the strike which killed Kuang Tianjie. At that time, it was a matter of life and death between him and Kuang Tianjie and there was no other choice.

Furthermore, after killing Kuang Tianjie, the rewards that Shen Yuan received could completely compensate for all his losses.

Thinking about this, Shen Yuan looked at the completed hidden achievement and chose to receive the reward.

The next moment, a thumb-sized, glistening gold scroll appeared before Shen Yuan’s eyes in the void.

The scroll slowly unrolled, and a golden “decree” character occupied the entire scroll.

Then the light appeared and the Divine Capacity Seed had landed on Shen Yuan’s chest, the imprint of the golden scroll gradually hidden under the skin.

In Shen Yuan’s eyes, detailed information of the Gods Purging Divine Power became fully displayed.

Gods Purge (Earthly Destroyer Divine Power the second): It is the original law of the Incense Offering Divinity Path, it can hold divine edicts, commanding the local deities of mountains and rivers.

If you achieve a supreme status, one order is enough for the three realms and six paths to bow, and all the deities of the four seas and eight deserts will be loyal to you!
