Chapter 387: The Fall of the Sword Sovereign and Shen Mo's Breakthrough to the Peak of the Divine Transformation Realm
{Note: i know i have messed up cultivation realms in past chapters, and i will try to edit them as soon as possible. but here they are in order: entry, minor accomplishment, major accomplishment, perfection and peak}
The words, imbued with spiritual power, immediately fell into the ears of Ji Ping and the East Sea King.
One person and one dragon both revealed an expression of shock.
After his shock, the East Sea King immediately sneered, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"I know exactly what level Gu Ming is at. He is an unprecedented genius of the demon race! The king among kings!"
"If he had been born a few thousand years later, I would have respectfully addressed him as the Demon Emperor!"
"How could he have died at the hands of a junior like Shen Mo!"
Ji Ping, on the other hand, burst into loud laughter, "I knew it, Shen Mo did not disappoint me! He indeed beheaded Gu Ming! I believe in him!"
"The Dragon Blood Guard has been exterminated! The three warships created by the Ten Thousand Demon Nation have all been captured by us."
"The main army of the Ten Thousand Demon Nation has been completely annihilated!"
"Their capital city has long been running with blood, with smoke of war rising to the sky!"
"Sword Sovereign, we have won! A great victory! From now on, the Ten Thousand Demon Nation will be erased!"
The remaining cultivators and mortals of Jade Sea City heard this and showed joyful expressions, then excitedly began to cheer.
"Is it true? We won? The Ten Thousand Demon Nation is destroyed?"
"My god! Such a powerful Ten Thousand Demon Nation, gone in just over a month?"
"Long live Senior Shen Mo! Long live the human race!"
Amidst these thunderous cheers, the East Sea King also became bewildered.
Could Gu Ming really be dead? The Ten Thousand Demon Nation is gone?
At this moment, a heavily wounded Sword Fish King quickly approached him, reporting the war situation of the Ten Thousand Demon Nation with an ugly expression.
After hearing the report, the East Sea King's eyes widened, his expression unable to calm down for a long time.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and growled lowly, "Retreat..."
With the East Sea King's order, all water demons withdrew completely.
The cultivators and mortals of Jade Sea City saw this scene and became even more excited, cheering wildly.
"We won! We won!"
"Damn East Sea water demons, get lost!"
Ji Ping slowly descended from the sky, his entire body covered in wounds, but his face radiant with a joyful smile.
He had guessed correctly. And bet correctly. This old man had probably reached the end of his life. This world would ultimately be handed over to the younger generation.
After landing, Ji Ping was like a drop of water merging into the sea, quickly disappearing without a trace. ... A few days later.
The news of Gu Ming's beheading and the destruction of the Ten Thousand Demon Nation spread like a hurricane throughout the Jing Kingdom.
The Holy Spirit Sect, Shadow Pavilion, Sea God Island... and other sects all received the news.
No one could remain calm.
In their imagination, Shen Mo being able to fight Gu Ming to a standstill and holding him off for one or two months would have been difficult enough.
Being able to force Gu Ming to retreat and temporarily halt the demon army's offensive would have been an unexpected surprise.
But who could have imagined that Shen Mo would actually behead Gu Ming!
That the Ten Thousand Demon Nation would be destroyed in just a short month!
It was simply unbelievable!
The most incredulous was the Jing Emperor.
He had planned to use Gu Ming to eliminate Shen Mo.
Then personally lead the forces of various sects to go south and confront Gu Ming.
In his view, Shen Mo was indeed a powerful Divine Transformation realm cultivator, but not indispensable.
But now, the facts had severely slapped him in the face.
Shen Mo was not just a powerful Divine Transformation realm cultivator, but an extremely top-tier Divine Transformation realm cultivator.
This battle was not just difficult without Shen Mo, but impossible without him!
What was even more deadly was...
Shen Mo's strength was enough to kill Gu Ming.
Didn't this mean that Shen Mo had already surpassed the Sword Sovereign?
Didn't this mean his own life was now in grave danger?
Thinking of this, the Jing Emperor's body swayed as he looked toward the south, experiencing the threat of death for the first time.
He quickly tapped the white jade at his waist.
A shadow guard immediately appeared, "Your Majesty."
"Quickly... quickly find the Sword Sovereign!" the Jing Emperor growled.
"Yes!" The shadow guard swiftly left.
However, he had only left for the time it takes to burn an incense stick before appearing again.
The Jing Emperor felt surprised.
The Sword Sovereign should still be in Jade Sea City.
How could the shadow guard return so quickly?
The shadow guard said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Sword Sovereign... has exhausted his life force and fallen."
A sudden jolt.
The Jing Emperor's body violently swayed, almost falling to the ground.
The shadow guard did not dare to support him.
In the past, the Jing Emperor had ordered that all shadow guards could only touch his body upon receiving his command.
Otherwise, it would be considered treason.
Once during an inspection of all shadow guards, the Jing Emperor had deliberately pretended to fall.
When a shadow guard rushed forward to help him up, the Jing Emperor immediately ordered his execution.
The reason was treason!
"Why now of all times..."
The Jing Emperor seemed to have aged decades in an instant.
The Sword Sovereign was the royal family's last trump card.
With the Sword Sovereign dead, who could stop Shen Mo?
The Jing Emperor, with a hoarse voice, asked again, "What about the leader? Where is he? Didn't I tell him to closely monitor Shen Mo's every move?"
The shadow guard shook his head, "After the leader left the West Sea and arrived at the Three Sects Alliance camp, he disappeared without a trace. Perhaps... he was discovered by Shen Mo."
The Jing Emperor remained silent.
Finally, he waved his hand.
Only then did the shadow guard quickly leave.
The Jing Emperor gazed southward, his eyes revealing confusion for the first time. ... Jade Cauldron Sect.
Grand celebrations continued day after day without pause.
With the vast resources of the Ten Thousand Demon Nation, Jade Cauldron Sect's foundation grew daily.
Hai Qiankun, responsible for the sect's logistics, was so happy his mouth could barely close.
His small eyes were almost squinting with joy.
Cultivators from Dan River Sect and Shangqing Sect gradually shed their previous identities, integrating more deeply into this powerful, thriving Jade Cauldron Sect.
After all, for most cultivators, where there's milk, there's a mother.
Jade Cauldron Sect could provide better treatment, so why not become a Jade Cauldron Sect cultivator?
In the following period, sects like Qian Yuan Sect, Sea God Island, and Tianhe Sect successively came to Jade Cauldron Sect to offer congratulations.
They also discussed various matters of resource purchases and exchanges.
These matters naturally did not require Shen Mo's time, and could be handled by Hai Qiankun and others.
In fact, after breaking through the Ten Thousand Demon Nation's capital, he had returned to Jade Cauldron Sect to cultivate in seclusion, striving to breakthrough to the peak of the Divine Transformation realm.
At this moment, a pill floated before Shen Mo.
Its appearance was similar to a Spiritual Cultivation Pill, but its potency was a hundred times stronger.
This was a Pure Origin Spiritual Cultivation Pill!
A pill that had long been lost!
Currently, only the royal family of the Jing Kingdom could refine the Grand Spiritual Cultivation Pill.
As for the Pure Origin Spiritual Cultivation Pill, no one could refine it!
This pill was discovered by the demon race in an underground cavern and presented to Gu Ming.
Gu Ming had not immediately refined it, but preserved it, awaiting a future breakthrough to a higher spiritual power realm.
However, a dead demon naturally had no need to refine the pill.
Other Divine Transformation realm cultivators would not dare to touch this pill.
Naturally, the Pure Origin Spiritual Cultivation Pill fell to Shen Mo.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Pure Origin Spiritual Cultivation Pill had now shrunk dramatically, reduced to the size of a pinky fingernail.
Surging medicinal power merged into Shen Mo's body, entering his dan tian, expanding his primordial spirit.
At a certain moment, the primordial spirit expanded to its limit, opening its mouth to release a strange, sharp cry.
Shen Mo also suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in their depths.
An incomparably vast and powerful aura instantly spread out!
Peak of the Divine Transformation realm!
