Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 298: Complete Victory over the Blank Godly Body!

The crisis of death made the God Envoy Yongzuo struggle frantically.

After realizing that it couldn't escape from the giant god's palm, it let out a roar and directly severed its tail to save itself.

But severing its tail was not the end. In order to completely escape from Zhong Cang's side, with a "bang," it self-destructed.

Its body exploded, instantly dividing into countless pieces.

And those countless pieces of body did not die because of the God Envoy Yongzuo's self-destruction. Instead, they gave birth to strands of vitality.

Then, right in front of Zhong Cang's eyes, these countless pieces of body grew hands and feet, transforming into fish, birds, burrowing animals, and trying to escape from Zhong Cang's sight.

The transcendent soul made Zhong Cang have a hunch—if he didn't eliminate all the monster's clones in front of him, the God Envoy Yongzuo would definitely be able to resurrect in one of them.

"You are also merciless!"

This scene, so similar to a certain tragic swordsman in a previous life's animation, made Zhong Cang feel strange.

However, unlike that tragic swordsman, Zhong Cang was not purely a swordsman.

Faced with the God Envoy Yongzuo's countless ways of escape, Zhong Cang did not hastily use the blade in his hand to kill them.

Instead, he suddenly turned his empty palm into a claw and activated a talent spell.

[Myriad Manifestations Traction]

"Buzz!"

As the Attractive Force Technique was activated, Zhong Cang's palm became like a black hole, and a huge amount of matter gathered in his palm under the effect of gravity.

Under this gravitational pull, rocks and soil couldn't escape, and the God Envoy Yongzuo's clones, due to the division of power, naturally couldn't escape either.

"No!"

In the midst of a miserable howl, the God Envoy Yongzuo's countless clones, which had not flown far, were pulled over by Zhong Cang.

Seeing that it couldn't escape, Yongzuo went crazy.

Even a rabbit will bite when it's desperate, let alone it.

At the last moment, it no longer thought about escaping, but like a snake, it opened its big mouth and bit towards Zhong Cang's arm that was holding it.

Then, halfway through, it was stabbed by the sword blade held in Zhong Cang's right hand, piercing seven inches deep.

"Chi!"

The blade pierced its vital point, and under the Eye of the Hell King, it pierced the death line, causing the God Envoy Yongzuo's body to instantly stiffen.

Its struggles and roars also came to a sudden stop.

It died, died easily.

Indeed, it was strong, especially after integrating with the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth, it possessed an almost perfect undying body.

However, it might be strong, but Zhong Cang was stronger, and the Eye of the Hell King was even more effective against such immortal monsters.

"Immortality? Under my eyes, everything will come to an end."

"Humans, demons, immortals, gods, and the heavens and earth are all the same."

...

After stabbing the God Envoy Yongzuo to death, Zhong Cang did not relax. Instead, he lightly flicked his long sword, causing a clear and melodious sword sound to resonate throughout the heavens and earth.

Then, in the transmission of the sword sound, Zhong Cang searched the heavens and earth until he was sure that there was no trace of Yongzuo's soul left in the world. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"The God Envoy is dead, and the crisis in this realm has come to an end... Huh!"

As Zhong Cang exhaled, he was originally planning to let the Law Manifestation's godly body disperse. However, before he could make a move, something appeared that left Zhong Cang stunned.

Under the gaze of Law Manifestation, the lifeless body of the divine envoy Yongzuo suddenly emitted a strong vitality, which was repairing the injuries on Yongzuo's divine body.

"He's not dead yet?"

This scene shocked Zhong Cang, and he prepared to open the eyes of the divine body and strike again.

However, before he could make a move, Zhong Cang realized that something was wrong.

With the help of the revealed Eye of the Hell King, Zhong Cang discovered that although there was abundant vitality on Yongzuo's body, it was just an empty shell, and the soul inside had already perished.

"Could it be that the Integrated Union between Yongzuo and the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth has not been fully completed? I intended to kill Yongzuo, not the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth. So, the death just now was only Yongzuo's, not the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth's?"

This situation was indeed possible.

However, after careful examination, Zhong Cang found that the previous speculation was indeed one of the reasons.

But besides that, there was another factor that contributed to the preservation of Yongzuo's divine body.

That factor was the overpowering vitality of the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth.

Life and death are mutually exclusive, and their relationship is like that of water and fire.

Water can extinguish fire, but conversely, if the power of fire is too strong, it can evaporate water completely.

The relationship between life and death is similar to this.

Death is indeed the nemesis of life, but an excessively strong vitality can also hinder the invasion of death.

As a precious treasure of the wood element, the vitality of the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth is naturally extraordinary.

Especially the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth in the Azure Ash World, which has been nurturing for thousands of years. Even though it cannot awaken its intelligence or cultivate due to the limitations of the world's level, its accumulated vitality is still extremely powerful.

Otherwise, Yongzuo, with the Integrated Union, would not have been able to reach the Gold Core Late Stage so quickly.

Moreover, if there were no obstacles, with the vitality accumulated by the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth, Yongzuo could easily reach the Nascent Soul stage and become a powerful being in the world.

Hmm... It is not possible to enter the Nascent Soul stage with just abundant vitality.

Yongzuo's rapid progress as a divine envoy is because there is someone above it, bestowing it with the comprehension of the laws. It all depends on the blessings of the Heavenly Mother of Eternal Life.

This can indeed create a powerful individual, but it also binds everything to the Heavenly Mother of Eternal Life. With a single thought, she can bring him down from his high position.

It can only be said that in the path of divine cultivation, becoming a divine spirit or a divine lord can barely be considered on par with the Immortal Dao.

But becoming a divine official or a priestess is not even worthy of being compared to the Immortal Dao.

...

Zhong Cang quickly put aside the matter of the divine path. At this moment, he was more concerned about the empty divine body in front of him.

After inspection, Zhong Cang knew that because of the immense vitality within the divine body, which countered the power of death, and with the massive depletion of vitality, coupled with Zhong Cang's strike that did not directly target the heart of the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth, the divine body was able to survive.

And this soulless, unconscious, yet perfectly intact and powerful divine body gave rise to a different idea in Zhong Cang's mind.

"By the way, can I use this thing?"

Without making an immediate decision, Zhong Cang took the divine body back to the Floating Sky City and contacted the higher-ups of the sect using the equipment in the city.

He wanted to borrow the wisdom of the higher-ups to make use of this divine body.

While Zhong Cang was in seclusion, the cleansing of the remnants of Eternal Life continued in the Azure Ash World.

In Zhong Cang's opinion, this kind of cleansing would take a considerable amount of time. After all, the remnants of Eternal Life were extremely difficult to kill, and they could even integrate and increase their strength in desperate situations.

Even when Zhong Cang was in seclusion, the Spirit Array Ling Xiaoqiong could replace him in receiving the contact from the Cloud Firmament Sect and manipulate the Floating Sky City to provide support on the ground.

But this kind of cleansing still required a lot of time and effort.

However, just as Zhong Cang and others were thinking this way, an unexpected event occurred.

After the death of the God of Yongzuo, those remaining immortals no longer cooperated to fight against humans. Instead, they became chaotic, killing any living beings they encountered or parasitizing the Integrated Union.

When two remaining immortals meet, they will still fight each other.

Even the hatred between the remaining immortals is greater than the hatred between the remaining immortals and humans.

In this special situation, humans have become spectators, watching the remaining immortals fight each other.

This situation shocked everyone.

But soon, some people reacted.

"Yes, we should have thought of this earlier. After being parasitized by the Integrated Union, the remaining immortals are still alive, but they have lost much of their intelligence and only have the instinct to devour and grow."

"In this situation, without a higher-level transcendent to control them, the remaining immortals would never be able to secretly lurk, ambush, or launch large-scale attacks."

"Also, because the remaining immortals can devour the Integrated Union and enhance their own strength, without the suppression of higher-level beings, their favorite prey among the billions of remaining immortals should be their own kind, not the difficult-to-kill cultivators."

After confirming this, the Cloud Firmament Sect and other Dao Sects realized a major weakness of the God of Calamity - they need a central command.

In large-scale wars, as long as their central command is eliminated, the remaining time can be spent watching the remaining immortals kill each other, leading to their own demise.

"No, things won't be that easy... In some important battles, the source of the remaining immortals, the God of Longevity, should guide several divine envoys. Even if we kill one, it will quickly transform and turn one of the remaining immortals into a divine envoy."

Someone proposed a different opinion, but soon someone refuted it.

"I don't think the God of Longevity will keep transforming... It consumes a lot of energy to transform its subordinates remotely. If the subordinates below haven't accumulated enough, continuous transformation by the God of Longevity could weaken itself. I don't think the God of Calamity would be so selflessly helpful to its subordinates."

"Also, I always feel that the God of Longevity... is insane!"

These words made many people squint their eyes, and soon someone retorted, "There is no evidence, don't speculate. The troops below will rely on our intelligence for battle. If the intelligence is wrong, do you know how many people will die?"

"Therefore, I believe we must not underestimate the enemy... While large-scale transformation may be difficult for the God of Longevity, it can still be achieved on a small scale. We must not allow the remaining immortals to kill each other. If they continue to devour and evolve, even before the remaining immortals are transformed, those monsters will advance to become divine envoys, and then they will have leaders."

"In conclusion, I suggest that in future battles with the God of Calamity, after killing the divine envoys, we should also monitor areas where the remaining immortals gather in large numbers. If powerful remaining immortals fight each other to the point of mutual destruction, we should immediately send our disciples to fight."

"I second that!"

"I agree with that too."

...

The Cloud Firmament Sect cannot give up the resources in the mortal realm. Therefore, the entire Cloud Firmament Sect has been operating at full speed like a war machine.

A large number of cultivators specializing in talisman drawing, refining tools, and alchemy were sent to the mortal realm. They were all fully armed.

In addition to these two types of personnel, there were also some cultivators skilled in strategy and divination. They formed the staff department and designed various battle plans.

They believed that they could not allow the remaining immortals to devour each other. However, their original plan was mainly to monitor and intervene when the remaining immortals fought each other to the point of mutual destruction.

But soon, they realized that their strategies were somewhat outdated.

- Under normal circumstances, their strategies were correct. After all, when the remaining immortals gathered, it was likely that cultivators rushing in would be surrounded and injured.

But the current situation was not normal. The Floating Sky City was floating in the Gangfeng Layer.

For the Floating Sky City, which possessed the Heavenly Thunder Nails, the number of enemies was never a problem.

With one Heavenly Nail, as long as the enemy's strength did not exceed a certain level, they would be smashed and killed by the nail.

Therefore, for Zhong Cang, who possessed the Floating Sky City, his concern was not that the enemies would gather too many, but how to gather them.

Previously, with the God of Yongzuo as their brain, the remaining immortals knew to avoid confrontation.

But now, the brain was dead, and the remaining immortals acted purely on instinct.

In this situation, many remaining immortals would instinctively gather together, devouring the Integrated Union to seek transformation and evolution.

Then, when they gathered together, even before they fought each other to the point of mutual destruction, a Heavenly Nail would descend from the sky and turn the area they were in into a wasteland.

This kind of behavior may seem wasteful, but it is highly efficient.

Hmm... it's not really wasteful. After all, no matter how many enemies gather below the gods, it's just a matter of a single nail, at most, maybe another one.

And nails can be recycled, their consumption is equivalent to none.

So when throwing nails, Zhong Cang never considers whether it's wasteful or not, he only fears that the firepower is not enough.

...

In this way, the remnants of the immortal beings without a leader were cleared out by humans in just seven days.

Humans, or rather the Cloud Firmament Sect, regained control of the Azure Ash World.

Such a great victory made everyone in the Cloud Firmament Sect ecstatic, and they held a celebration at night.

However, while humans were happy, there were some people who forced a smile during the celebration.

These people were naturally the foreign tribes.

They originally wanted to use the formidable deterrent of the Demonic God to make the Dao Sect cooperate with them.

As a result, after the battle, the Dao Sect didn't ask for their help and still defeated the Demonic God's god envoy.

Indeed, the Demonic God himself didn't suffer any consequences in this battle, but the strength of the Cloud Firmament Sect's experts didn't even come into play.

Under these circumstances, Zhong Cang's victory was still a complete one, which meant that with the alliance of the Cloud Firmament Sect and the Dao Sect, there was a chance to surpass the Demonic God.

In this situation, the Cloud Firmament Sect naturally wouldn't cooperate with the foreign tribes.

Even if they did cooperate, the treaty wouldn't be equal.

It's strange that the foreign tribes would be happy to discover this.

Hmm... not all foreigners are unhappy.

Powerful tribes want equality, or even secretly seek opportunities to take advantage, so they naturally look unhappy when their plans fail.

But for tribes on the brink of extinction and weaker ones, survival is all that matters.

As a result, many weak foreign envoys have secretly contacted the Cloud Firmament Sect to discuss the matter of seeking refuge.

These small foreign tribes have no psychological barriers to doing this.

After all, in another world, they can only survive by relying on larger tribes.

Now, they are just changing the powerful figure they rely on.

...

While the weaker tribes are taking action, the more powerful tribes are also discussing matters with their gods.

In a certain undetectable void, several towering figures gathered, and there were faint sounds of conversation in this place.

"The actions of the Eternal Heavenly Mother failed, the other side is stronger than we imagined..."

"...not yet failed, I have investigated... Zhong Cang on the other side is the most exceptional genius in thousands of years... he is just one person, not the entire tribe."

"Just an individual... that's not a problem. In the realm war, the influence of individuals is insignificant..."

"...when we collided with the Demonic God's realm, we also had a golden age... that was the crisis sensed by heaven and earth, self-preservation. The fact that they have someone like Zhong Cang, who is so exceptional, shows that the heavens and earth on that side, just like us, see the Demonic God's realm as a disaster... we should cooperate."

"We want to cooperate, but the other side is unwilling... they are too arrogant, thinking they can withstand the crisis of the Demonic God..."

"If they are arrogant, then let them face the pressure directly... tell the front line to let all the Demonic God's apostles in... you can withstand a god envoy of the remnants of the immortals, but I want to see how you can withstand the combined impact of a dozen or so Demonic Gods."

"...if we let them all in, we will also suffer losses..."

"...that is a necessary sacrifice!"
