Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 493 - 247: The Tusk of Justice

"Tusk," "Ghost King."

This was the synthesized sound transmitted from Wang Qi before being engulfed by the Infinite Sword Qi. Hu Buxue had already lost interest in seeing the result, the clear feeling of her strike telling her that Wang Qi was dead.

Innate Destiny Killing Dao, one of the forty-nine Innate Daos, ranking first in annihilation. Once touched, none could survive.

After she averted her gaze, she again became anxious and thoughtful. Just now, out of fear of Wang Qi and the Law Enforcement Officer, she had mistakenly drawn Wang Qi into this small Cave Heaven created by the entropy force of the Killing Destiny. It would now be difficult to leave. Her cultivation was not weak, and with the demon sword "Washing Dust" that deepened the killing destiny, she was confident she wouldn't fear any Modern Foundation Establishment, and even against Core Formation, she could fight.

But...

Suddenly, an abnormal sound reached Hu Buxue's ears.

It was like a seed breaking through its shell, sprouting from the earth, and it also resembled the booming of a flame heating the air.

Neither should exist in this place built upon the Killing Destiny.

"Ha ha ha ha... ha ha ha ha..." After the black mist of Sword Qi dispersed, Wang Qi's figure appeared in front of Hu Buxue. His image was completely different from before. A layer of White Flame, substantial in presence, covered his body and had formed an armor-like Qi Gang Layer. He held one hand to his forehead and the other to his stomach, laughing so hard it seemed he couldn't catch his breath, "So-called Innate Killing Destiny, exterminating life beings, turns out to be just another manifestation of entropy. Has no one told you this and the Innate Destruction Dao are essentially two of a kind?"

The concept of entropy originates from thermodynamics, but its scope is not limited to heat alone. Entropy is the arrow of time; the passing of time is entropy. Life and death are entropy, the collapse of morals and elation are entropy, the downfall of states and the ruin of families are entropy, world strife, and sufferings of the people for a decade are entropy...

Innate Killing Destiny, End of Fortune, Tribulation, all are manifestations of Entropy Force! Amongst them, the entropy of Killing Destiny transforms the force that maintains electromagnetic interaction into meaningless thermal energy, leaving all existence unsupported, destroying the fundamental material bodies of life beings. Tribulation disrupts the order of nature's spiritual energy flow, causing turbulence, and returning it to a dynamic equilibrium, from which Heavenly Tribulation is born. End of Fortune ruins intangible systems, leading to the disintegration of rituals, the decline of dynasties, and the loss of Daoist Inheritance, causing Shannon Entropy to reach its peak. As for the last two of the Innate Five Elements, Shenzhou simply has no corresponding cultivation technique, so Wang Qi was also unable to guess their true nature.

Zhen Chan, from within the ring, cautiously warned Wang Qi, "Young man, something is amiss, very amiss. This Law Gate is unheard of by this old man, and it doesn't seem to originate from Shenzhou, plus this yet to become immortal demonstrating the abilities of one of the forty-nine paths, is very suspicious! Be cautious!"

In the Ancient Method inheritance, the most powerful part was inevitably related to the Mahayana Realm and the forty-nine paths. For instance, Luofu Xuanqing Palace's cultivation method secretly contains the Innate Five Taos, while Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao corresponds to the Innate Five Virtues. But within these two, neither cultivation method exposes the characteristics of the Great Dao at the Nascent Soul Stage!

Hu Buxue's eyes brightened and momentarily suppressed her plans to escape. In her mind, Modern Cultivators could not possibly ascertain the truth of the "Washing Dust" sword; battling the powerful was more interesting. She showed a hint of eagerness and with the manners of a Martial Artist, she bowed to Wang Qi, "This sword is named, 'Washing Dust'."

She adopted a stance, seemingly ready to attack with full force.

Now Wang Qi had stirred her serious intentions.

However, as she assumed her pose, Wang Qi's figure disappeared.

"What?" Hu Buxue was taken aback, and before she could fully process her thought, a powerful force burst fiercely behind her. Pure fist force passed through her spine, piercing her heart, causing her body to involuntarily fly out. Hu Buxue swung her sword backward, but a flash of white light appeared before her, and a fist wrapped in White Flame collided with her cheek. Blood streamed instantly down her delicate face. And as Hu Buxue was sent flying, Wang Qi grabbed her leg and with his left hand, struck forcefully at her Dantian.

"Boom!" The raw brute force penetrated Hu Buxue's body, its might not inferior to any Divine Skills!

This was clearly the strength above the Golden Core Stage!

One punch, followed by another.

The sheer power repeatedly crushed Hu Buxue's body, the intense pain making her momentarily dazed. Wang Qi casually threw the momentarily incapacitated Hu Buxue aside, reached out to snatch the demon sword from her hand, "No matter where you come from, your cultivation is mostly finished. Give me the sword, break this convenient-for-plot-development barrier, and then come with me to the Criminal Law Department, just like that."

Excluding Divine Tao, any cultivation technique, inclusive of the Modern System's spiritual energy central hub, was within the Dantian. Without entering the Nascent Soul or Primordial Spirit stage, this was an absolute vital point.

Wang Qi's hand grasped Hu Buxue's sword-holding right hand, attempting to pry her fingers open. Just then, an immense force suddenly sprung from Hu Buxue's hand. Caught off guard, Wang Qi's arm was slashed, and Hu Buxue took advantage of the opening to shake Wang Qi off and reset her stance.

The woman wiped the blood from her mouth, revealing a morbid smile, "I was careless... both of us were. If I were an ordinary Cultivator, I'd most likely be dead by now, too bad my cultivation is unique, and the Dantian is not vital; as for you, Mr. Wang, I hadn't expected you to possess such divine skills—this style, is it from Tianling Ridge?"

Wang Qi didn't respond; he covered the wound on his arm, his expression strange, his eyes confused. A vast Qi Intent exuded from him. Under the scorching of the White Flame, the wound on his hand quickly healed. Looking at Hu Buxue, his expression carried a trace of fierceness.

"Aoaoao!" An unimaginable war cry, not of human origin, erupted. Wang Qi roared towards the sky and charged at Hu Buxue with astonishing speed.

No spells, no martial arts.

Unnecessary, not needed!

This was the battle method once displayed by Ai Qinglan.

The layer of White Flame, was actually a power not even Wang Qi himself had mastered—it was the true Life Flame!

"Do you underestimate me to this extent?" A surge of annoyance blossomed within Hu Buxue's otherwise calm demeanor. What Wanfa Sect excelled in was magic, laws, and exquisite calculations!

Yet, throughout their battle up to this point, had Wang Qi shown even a hint of his true capabilities?

Hu Buxue closed her eyes, deflecting Wang Qi's lunges with her sword.

Then, she opened them.

At that moment, there was no sign of white in her eyes, which had turned pitch black as ink.

Before Wang Qi could lunge a second time, the Sword Qi, originating from death and the Innate Killing Destiny, burst forth in defense-turned-offense. Following that, like lilies in a secluded valley, the blossoms of Sword Qi silently unfolded.

The beast that Wang Qi had transformed into roared furiously. Glimmers of blood kept flashing on his body, but the strength of the Life Flame allowed his wounds to heal in an instant. By now, Wang Qi's body was brimming with vitality; even if his cell membranes ruptured, as long as the nuclei and mitochondria weren't destroyed with a single blow, his cells could rapidly regenerate. This terrifying vitality reduced the cost of his injuries to the bare minimum. Instinctively, Wang Qi launched a predatory lunge, claws tearing towards Hu Buxue's neck.

The dance of the beast and the beauty was staged along with trails of blood.

But deep within Hu Buxue, a frustration settled.

This bastard... is he too weak? Was he so weak that he didn't deserve to even know the name "Washing Dust"?

Wang Qi was no longer a match for Hu Buxue.

His punches and kicks, in terms of sheer power, were definitely above the Golden Core Stage, and Hu Buxue could barely catch his speed. But Wang Qi seemed utterly unable to control this power, his movements lacking any variation, allowing Hu Buxue to see through his pattern of action.

Continuing the fight would inevitably lead to failure.

Yet, Wang Qi exploded with unexpected stubbornness and let out another roar, charging towards Hu Buxue.

Hu Buxue didn't even bother to dodge. She stepped forward, placing her sword on Wang Qi's inevitable path. The Wang Qi, now charging blindly, was destined to run himself onto this Demon Sword.

Washing Dust, difficult to sever ties, a single strike of the sword makes things utterly clean, as if washed.

This sword existed solely for taking lives.

Unaware, Wang Qi continued to sprint. But in that moment, he made an unexpected move—he ducked, leaning back. The Demon Sword barely missed brushing against Wang Qi's body.

Back in Wang Qi's room, Chen Youjia tied another one of Wang Qi's belts, his eyelids drooping as he murmured, "So that's how it is, this is why you insist on using this trash to face your enemy?"

The progenitor of the Memory Tusk was Wang Qi's original design for a Memory Body, a common "Ghost King." Because the original design did not restrict read-only properties, the Memory Body was "contaminated" by external Spirit Sense, no longer pure and deviating from the Magic Foundation design of the Wanfa Sect.

The pollution of that external Magic Foundation was the sole empirical proof of Wang Qi's design for the Life Path. That is: the impact of Mana strength and the Mana System on Spirit Wisdom.

In other words, the power of this Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle was mixed with the strength of the deceased of Spirit Awakening Village. (To be continued.
