c1619: 1657: Evil Sword Engraving (Third Update)

For a long time.

The world darkened.

When the last city disappeared from sight.

Xingyuan Venerable’s eyes reddened slightly; he turned to face the Divinity Transformation Venerables and said,

"They have all left; only we remain on this land."

The Divinity Transformation Realm experts looked around.

The world was vast and lonely, leaving them alone in the darkness.

A profound sense of desolation and solitude surged in their hearts.

Xingyuan Venerable’s voice was tragically heroic as he spoke in a deep tone,

"Let us, who have walked ahead of the multitude as pioneers on the Martial Path, tear apart this dark sky to usher in a new dawn!"

In the darkness, everyone’s eyes shone like torches.

Like suns, about to break through the millennium-long night sky.

Xingyuan Venerable waved his hand, and crystals filled with pure power flew in front of everyone.

"These are the Wish Fruits accumulated over years in Hunyuan State, sealed with the Vast Energy of our ancestors at their end."

"You can wish to enhance your cultivation, strengthen soul power, or obtain whatever you desire."

"So long as it is within the range of the Vast Energy within the Wish Fruits, your wishes will come true."

Everyone took a Wish Fruit, their faces displaying wonder.

Jiang Fan also grabbed one, and upon investigating it, an astonishing Vast Energy surged into his mind.

The richness of this energy was equivalent to the power of consuming ten Space-Time Dusts.

It was definitely left by a great scholar from the late-stage Nascent Soul of yesteryear.

Xingyuan Venerable sent out dozens of them, indicating they were not left by just one or two generations.

But by several generations, starting from the great defeat of the Human Clan a thousand years ago.

Hunyuan State had been preparing for this very war for a full millennium.

Xingyuan Venerable said, "Prepare yourselves, for in half a day at most, the battle shall commence."

Jiang Fan heard this and solemnly sat cross-legged.

He had hurried to the Extreme East after reaching Divinity Transformation and then hurried to Hunyuan State, not having time to handle many things he carried with him.

First and foremost was that Great Pill!

This pill could elevate him to the Heavenly Human Second Decline; if he successfully broke through, wouldn’t he be one step closer to success?

However, he hesitated while staring at the Great Pill.

Is it really okay to break through so quickly?

"Where did you get that Seventh Grade Great Pill? Is it really a pill that can break through to Divinity Transformation?"

"Since when has Central Earth had such Spirit Pills?"

In Divine Weapon State, a short middle-aged man with red skin exclaimed in surprise.

On the back of his head were five flame-marked Divine Rings!

He was none other than Wan Bing Venerate of Divine Weapon State.

The Venerable aiding Taicang State in the Heavenly Human Second Decline said truthfully, "Reporting to the Great Venerate, it was given by Starfire Venerable."

"All Venerables aiding Taicang State received one."

Ah?

Upon hearing this, many in the Divinity Transformation Realm stared wide-eyed with envy.

"That’s a Seventh Grade Great Pill to break through to Divinity Transformation, equivalent to a hundred years of arduous cultivation!"

"Without opportunities, even a hundred years of hard cultivation might not result in a breakthrough until death."

"Starfire Venerable is too generous, giving such Heaven and Earth Great Pills just for aiding Taicang State."

"I really want to slap myself; the female Asura King invited me to aid Taicang State before, and I declined!"

"I passed up the chance for a Seventh Grade Great Pill!"

"Truly wasted opportunity!"

...

The Divinity Transformation Venerables of Holy Spirit State, faces full of longing, said:

"Ice Heart Venerate, could you speak for us and ask Starfire Venerable to send us a few Great Pills too?"

"We’re willing to exchange them for anything."

To plea to Jiang Fan?
