I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot Chapter 671 - Cross-border Transcendence, The Passage Between Dimensions

Chapter 671: Cross-border Transcendence, The Passage Between Dimensions

Guhe split apart. He could not believe he would one day die by his own sword. He had always treated the Demon Extermination Sword as his friend, so how did this happen? Was it because of the old monk? What was so good about him anyway? The great Eldritch Wisdom Elite’s mind descended into chaos and he started overthinking.
“Ahhhh! This can’t be happening!” shouted Guhe with despair. Blood began to spew from his mouth and eyes as his body glowed with the light of death. His mana was surging, making the sky darken as if it was about to fall at any moment. His Wisdom Origins of Life was flashing madly, trying to heal his wound to no avail as it continued to split open.
“No! I’m unkillable. No one in the seven dimensions can kill me!” He was panicking and struggling.
“Stop your useless struggling.”
“You should know that there’s no way to escape death if the expert wants you dead.”
“Unkillable? That’s because you haven’t met the expert yet.”
Everyone was watching him quietly while they said those words. Their heavy hearts began to lift as they watched the scene before them.
They were initially worried that Guhe would cause disturbance to the expert but it looked like their worries were unfounded. At the same time, they were shocked by the fact that the Extermination Demon Sword had turned on its own master. They became even more shocked when they discovered the sword could actually kill Guhe.
Once one had entered the Heavenly Realm, they would discover their Origins of Life to be nearly unassailable. As long as there was still a shred of it, one would be able to come back from the dead, making it very difficult to kill a fighter from the Heavenly Realm. Therefore, a Wisdom Elite, especially one of Guhe’s grade, was really as he said, unkillable. The Soul Master sealing Yanmo up was the perfect example of just how impossible it was to kill a Wisdom Elite.
However, judging by Guhe’s dwindling aura, his Origins of Life was definitely being wiped away second by second. They could not even imagine what the Extermination Demon Sword had gone through in the one month he had been in the expert’s home to have this terrifying change of attitude.
“No! This isn’t how it’s supposed to end!” Guhe’s voice was very weak by now and his face was all twisted as he was on the verge of death. His last vision was of a figure dressed in a white robe standing with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, with the starry night sky as his backdrop.
“Who will reach the peak at the end of the immortal road, behold it’s Xing Ya with his immeasurable Wisdom. Go now, ” said the figure arrogantly.
“Damn…you!” shouted Guhe weakly with his last dying breath. His body turned into dust and was scattered by the wind. A first-generation Wisdom Elite, gone.
Everyone was staring at the place where he was just a few moments ago with complex looks in their eyes. Their emotions began to surge up and down in their hearts. It was so surreal how an above-average Wisdom Elite was taken out just like that.
“The expert’s too…awesome!”
“The power one gains while in the state of the ultimate existence in all of the dimensions is truly terrifying. Being one with Wisdom allows one to do anything one wants. It’s only natural for the demon sword to turn against Guhe when it has been purified by the expert.”
“A thought by the expert is more powerful than all the laws under the heavens. Only with his existence can we stand against the Eldritchs.”
Suddenly, they were filled with another fear.
“It’s a good thing that things turned out this way. If not, even our deaths wouldn’t be enough to atone for the sins of disturbing the expert.”
“Yeah! We need to train harder so we can better protect him and prevent this kind of thing from happening again.”
“We need to make sure the Eldritch clan doesn’t get wind of the expert’s state of existence, too.”
They were sure that if the Eldritch clan knew about the expert’s situation, they would have done everything in their power to try to break him out of his state. Everyone summarized what they had learned from this battle and set up new goals with determination in their eyes.
“Huh? Look! What’s that over there?” cried someone suddenly.
All around them, they could see Spiritual Plants growing at unimaginable speed from the ground. Not only that but the existing trees were also imbued with spirituality. Even the previously parched ground had transformed into a huge lake as the rocks were turned into Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.
Everyone sensed a change in the air, too. “The Spiritual Qi in the air seems to be…thicker than before!”
“I can sense the number of treasures increasing in the Area of the Gods!”
Cultivator Junjun’s pupil shrank rapidly. “Is this the meaning of pillaging? No wonder the Eldritchs would stop at nothing to get their hands on more Spiritual Qi, even to the extent of slaughtering every being in all of the dimensions,” he said with awe in his voice.
“There’s an order to Wisdom and a balance to energy. The death of a being brings life to a thousand other beings. Does this mean we have pillaged the Spiritual Qi of the first dimension?”
The death of Pangu brought about the birth of the Prehistoric world and countless other beings, meaning the energy never disappeared. It would always return in one form or another, so it was only natural for the death of an Eldritch Wisdom Elite, especially of Guhe’s grade, to bring forth a deluge of Spiritual Qi.
Previously, there had been other deaths of Heavenly Realm fighters from the Eldritch Clan in the Chaos but their energy was too little for anyone to detect. However, Guhe’s energy was so massive that they could visibly feel the Spiritual Qi becoming thicker. There was no doubt there would be many new strong fighters in the future.
The Wisdom Elite ‘fish’ that was caught by Li Nianfan not long ago did not have his energy spread over the Chaos for his energy was consumed by Daji and the rest of the guests in the form of a fish soup. That was the reason why Daji and Fire Phoenix immediately became a Wisdom Elite after drinking the soup.
Suddenly, the Extermination Demon Sword vibrated crazily while emitting a wave of weird aura which made everyone stand guard again. The yellowed paper attached to it was giving off a glow while emitting a sacred aura. Everyone became calm when they saw the yellowed paper.
After that, a layer of black gas burst from the Extermination Demon Sword again and blanketed the sky which made the already pitched-black sky even darker. Everyone turned up their heads to look at the countless resentful spirits floating up above them and realized there was something different about them. They were resentful no more. In fact, they were calmed by the relief of their release.
“They’re the resentful spirits in the Extermination Demon Sword!”
“What’s happening? Why did they appear again? Are they going to go berserk again?”
“No. The black gas this time’s very peaceful. There’s not even a hint of their usual murderous aura.”
“Amitabha. The expert’s releasing their souls from suffering.” Jiechi’s usually expressionless face was filled with excitement as he led his monks to where the others were standing.
“This Extermination Demon Sword carried with it the destruction of the worlds, countless catastrophes, and countless souls. However, the resentful spirits were released from their suffering when the sword killed Guhe after it was influenced by the expert,” explained Jiechi with deep respect toward the expert.
“Ah, so that’s what the expert’s doing.” Everyone looked at the black gas flowing through the sky with awe and sincerity in their eyes.
However, they soon discovered a problem. Where would the condensed cloud of black gas go? The black gas was floating further and further away until it had totally left the Area of the Gods. It floated in the Chaos with no end in sight. Yes, indeed, where would it go?
They all took flight to the sky at the same time and chased after the black gas, wanting to find out the answer to the question. Soon, they discovered that the black gas was not going in one direction. Instead, it split into smaller bits that went in different directions.
“Everyone split up and chase after them!” said Cultivator Junjun gravely. He had an inkling of what was happening.
The black gas continued floating in the Chaos and some of them even floated inside of the Chaos Ocean. Under their watchful gaze, a majestic and absolute aura surged from the Chaos Ocean, as if wanting to tear apart the whole Chaos. Even the aura of Wisdom was trembling with the laws of the universe.
Countless vortexes began to form where the black gas had entered. They did not feel much power coming from the vortexes but the space around them had begun to distort nonetheless.
“The feeling of the vortexes is the same one I got when Guhe was crossing the dimension,” said Yang Jing cautiously.
“They must be the passage to another dimension!” shouted one of the monks with shock.
“Yes, the expert must’ve wanted to send the black gas back to where they came from.”
“Meaning to say the vortexes are portals to another dimension?”
“How terrifying! The expert not only released the resentful spirits from their suffering but also made sure to send them back to where they came from.”
“How’s it possible for him to do this alone?”
“Incredible…and terrifying at the same time!”
They were shocked and could not imagine how the expert managed to do this. Once again, the expert had shown them the meaning of ‘if one could think it, then one could do it’.
Even the Eldritchs had to go through a painfully long preparation process and wait for the resistance in the Chaos Ocean to lessen before crossing to another dimension. It was a restriction that could not be easily overturned. However, the expert had made it seem so effortless to open up portals here and there to send the ex-resentful spirits back. That was even harder than what Guhe had done when he went from the first dimension into the seventh dimension.
“Record all this down. The exact location of the portals to another dimension will surely come in handy in the future,” said the Jade Emperor in a hurried tone.
Meanwhile, compared to the Chaos, the fifth dimension was a blood-red universe filled with slaughter and cruelty. In this dimension, the true meaning of battle was enacted vividly and incisively. Everyone, including all mortals, had to fight each other as soon as they were out of their wombs. This was because the Spiritual Qi in this dimension was so thin that it was only downhill from there as the scent of death and utter failure filled the air.
The Eldritchs had pillaged their Spiritual Qi too many times and had caused too many catastrophes. The fighters with higher levels of cultivation would go on a hunt for anything, even mortals, when they could not get enough Spiritual Qi. They would even devour a mosquito if need be. That just showed how much Spiritual Qi was lacking in the fifth dimension. Consequently, they would also kill all the geniuses and weaklings for fear of them taking up their resources. In a nutshell, the fights were never-ending in the fifth dimension. There was no justice to speak of and only one law—survival of the fittest.
Currently, somewhere on a planet in this fifth dimension, was a pit where the Blood Clan lived. If one were to view the planet with x-ray vision, one would discover that the entire planet was connected by lines of blood vessels intertwining here and there, giving the planet an evil vibe.
In the middle of the pit was a huge pool of blood and in the middle of the pool stood a blood-red being with a pair of wings on his back. The being was emitting a terrifying aura that had even surpassed a Heavenly Realm fighter. He might even be a Wisdom Elite!
Compared to the Chaos, the fifth dimension was in a state of dilapidation and still withering away, so it was to everyone’s surprise how a Wisdom Elite could be born in this dimension. Even the Chaos would find it hard to give birth to one Wisdom Elite.
An underling of the Blood Clan walked into the pit and courteously said, “We’ve finished gathering the blood food. Would the master like to have a taste?”
“Yes, let’s begin.”
A sacrificial altar etched with a weird pattern stood on the surface of the planet. In the middle of the altar were the souls of a million beings trapped inside a hole. They were from different races—humans, demons, and cyclops—captured from all over and with different levels of cultivation.
At the sound of the order, the cruel massacre began. In a blink of an eye, millions of souls turned into an ocean of blood, soaking and staining the altar. The altar began to glow bright red as it absorbed the blood and traveled along the blood vessels underneath the planet’s surface with its final destination being the blood pool in the middle of the pit.
The Wisdom Elite standing in the middle of the pool became redder as the blood flowed in. However, he was furrowing his brows—the quality of the blood food had gotten worse over time. The fifth dimension had gone through too many catastrophes and had never recovered from them. All the beings there had descended into a state of hopelessness.
However, he had to continue doing what he needed to do for the sake of developing the Blood Clan into its rightful glory. The infinite slaughters brought on by the catastrophe was the only reason the Blood Clan got to where they were right now, though there was no denying he found it much harder to be satisfied with the energy in the fifth dimension.
Suddenly, a tremor shot out across the fifth dimension as a unique air ripple spread over, making his heart jump. Did the Spiritual Qi in the fifth dimension just increase?
