Dominating Martial King

As Lu Luanti drifted into a reverie, Si Huangquan had already awakened from meditation.

Her eyes showed slight changes, slight traces of dark gold shimmered in her gaze.

"Seventeen of the seventy-two yin cores left by Mother have been taken, likely falling into the hands of the Eternal Gods."

Chu Xisheng raised an eyebrow: "Does this matter?"

This was actually expected; it wasn’t surprising that the Eternal Gods were interested in the power of the Yin Queen.

It’s rather surprising that, twenty years after the Yin Queen’s death, only seventeen yin cores were lost.

"It’s of no consequence."

Si Huangquan shook her head: "Even if they take the yin cores, it’s useless to them. As long as I retrieve over twenty yin cores, I can forcibly absorb the power of the remaining cores. Even if I only retrieve eight, I can gradually absorb Mother’s remaining power within the other yin cores, albeit it will take more time."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted into the distance.

After absorbing three yin cores, her perception of the cores became more distinct.

She discovered, amidst the War Absolute World, another one of Mother’s former allies lay hidden.

At the same time, three hundred miles away, the rabbit-eared giant god, Shen Ruoyin, grimaced in extreme pain.

Her left hand had already recovered.

Though she lost the divine weapon longsword, her left hand regenerated smoothly.

However, her right hand, replaced by the Sword Arm, was still plagued by the relentless Heavenly Punishment Blade Intent entwining stubbornly around her wound.

Moreover, flickers of pure black Godslayer Fire continued to scorch her Divine Body, deepening her agony.

What’s more troublesome was that the Heaven Slaying Blade had annihilated the very existence of her arm.

Therefore, she couldn’t recover the arm even after eliminating the blade’s intent.

Unless Chu Xisheng personally intervenes to remove it or kills him.

It’s said that only the person who ties the knot can untie it.

"It’s troublesome! This is over Thirty Layers of Heavenly Punishment True Intent, might even be the True Spirit of Heavenly Punishment."

Nearby, stood another rabbit-eared giant god beside Shen Ruoyin.

Her appearance similarly delicate and charming, yet she exuded a more mature aura.

Looking at Shen Ruoyin’s wounded arm, her gaze filled with anger and helplessness: "Didn’t I tell you not to act rashly for now, observe first, then talk? Are you stupid? Do you have no brains?

That’s an entity capable of pressing the gods under the Creation Divine Tree, disgracing them, yet leaving them powerless, is the Mortal World’s Human Emperor. How dared he enter the Outer Domain without certainty? If his head were easily severed, why wouldn’t those divine beings step in themselves? Can’t you Shen Ruoyin evaluate your own strength before provoking him?"

Shen Ruoyin dared not retort.

She was indeed blinded by the reward offered by the gods, fearing others would seize the chance before her.

Shen Ruoyin could only lower her head and curse: "Bastards! These human clan members, their talents are freaking monstrous, no, that guy is ridiculously strong for a human."

She had previously suffered a loss at the hands of a human clan god.

But this guy named Chu Xisheng was even more terrifying. How could he possess such monstrous martial arts?

Shen Ruoyin had heard of the battle at the Creation Divine Tree but didn’t pay much attention.

Due to the Nine-layered Cloud’s presence, divine beings couldn’t exert full power unless their essence descended upon the Mortal World.

It’s said several Wild Gods died back then, but that was probably because they were driven insane by Source Addiction, right? Starved to the point they couldn’t exert power and died in the Mortal World.

And then there’s the ’Martial Fierce Heavenly King’ Ming Qianqiu of that level.

The Human Clan, worthy descendants of Wisdom God Long Xi, even if their Bloodline Talents are sealed, can still produce numerous extraordinary Heavenly Prides.

Every once in a while, one or two talented figures emerge, shaking the heavens.

But ’Martial Fierce Heavenly King’ Ming Qianqiu should be the pinnacle of the Human Clan’s Heavenly Prides.

Eight thousand years ago, Shen Ruoyin once observed from afar in the Battle Xuan Realm; that person was indeed terrifying.

However, their Moon Shadow clan excelled at lurking assassinations.

Shen Ruoyin felt confident in killing that guy before he reacted, catching him off guard, denying him the opportunity to utilize that miraculous sword skill.

Yet she almost fell, losing an arm completely.

"I’ve never seen such a terrifying sword skill."

A giant spirit without the Sword Arm echoed, his pained expression, forming a ’川’ between his brows: "I feel he should have more to offer. As we fled, he must’ve held back, allowing us to leave."

Pressing against his wounded stump, the pale-faced giant spirit sought guidance from the mature rabbit-eared giant god: "Sister Yingluo, what should we do next? Losing an arm is no big deal. But the eleven Star God positions, for the Moon God Abandoned Clan like us, are the best opportunity and possibly the last."

Their Moon Shadow clan, originating from one of the strongest Giant Spirit Clan lineages, faced a dramatic downfall twenty thousand years ago when they offended the Ancestor Gods.

For twenty thousand years, they not only lost all Star God positions, but their clansmen on the Mortal World also were forced to leave the Creation Divine Tree upon reaching the First-grade Realm.

More concerning is, in recent millennia, their number entering the Outer Domain decreased significantly, indicating a drastic population drop and continual weakening of the Moon Shadow clan.

Shen Yingluo’s complexion fluctuated between bright and dark.

She didn’t wish to take risks.

Yet, looking around at her clan’s eyes, all she saw was their yearning and greed for the Heaven and Earth Source Power and Star God positions, accompanied by burgeoning intent to kill.
