Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Resurrection (Additional Updates for Previous Book)

Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

A Great Grandmaster had just died?

The Grandmasters present were already stunned by the scene before them, yet dared not make a move.

To the discerning eye, it was clear that a Great Grandmaster had arrived; mere Grandmasters who dared to speak or act rashly were courting death.

Instead, Jing Fan and the other two Grandmasters from Stone Buddha Temple, seeing an old monk with white eyebrows appear, hurriedly joined their palms in reverence and addressed him as Saint Monk.

But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred!

From the remains of the Undying Evil Emperor, another figure emerged, shedding his fleshly shell like taking off clothes, revealing another person clad in white, wearing the same Shura mask.

His movement technique was unpredictable, and his condition had clearly returned to its peak. In an instant, he flew into the unknown, leaving only his faintly echoing words, "The ’me’ of yesterday is no longer me... Saint Monk, you have killed me once again!"

’Again?’

’This man is likely not the Grandmaster of the Five Poison Sect, but the fourth-ranked Undying Evil Emperor on the celestial list!’

’Did he intentionally seek death, wanting to abandon his old body and escape my void poison?’

Zhong Shenxiu looked at the remaining corpse of the Undying Evil Emperor on the ground, feeling somewhat confused in his thoughts.

’Unexpectedly... the Nine Lives Evil Technique does not treat serious injuries, but causes one to truly not die... even... resurrect?!’

’Resurrection Divine Power? I have never heard about it in the main world... This world really contains hidden treasures!’

’Damn it, the rumors in Jianghu were too absurd. Originally, the Undying Evil Emperor was not killed by a palm strike from the Saint Monk that severed his heart channels, but by a palm that extinguished all vitality, making him thoroughly dead. I said, given the resilience of a Grandmaster’s life force, how could the Saint Monk not be prepared? He just did not know that the Undying Evil Emperor would indeed resurrect!’

’This kind of resurrection... doesn’t seem like it belongs to life...’

Zhong Shenxiu crouched down and examined the remains of the Undying Evil Emperor, only to discover that they burst forth with a dark red glow like ashes and in an instant, turned into flying ash.

’It seems... to be some kind of Time and Space Divine Power?’

He pondered thoughtfully.

If the Nine Lives Evil Technique means the resurrection of life, the re-nurturing of an embryo, then the resurrected Undying Evil Emperor should be bare-chested.

But the person who had fled just now was dressed in flowing white robes, wearing the Shura mask, with every detail of his clothes identical to before.

Zhong Shenxiu immediately guessed that it might be a kind of time anchoring.

’Could the Martial Arts Divine Power of the Undying Evil Emperor be the anchoring of his body at its very peak, so that upon death, he is brought back to that moment, generating a resurrection-like effect? Nine Lives... does he actually have nine lives?’

’Anyway, I really want this Divine Power...’

’I wonder if he has any beautiful daughters. If I could win her over and have the Undying Evil Emperor pass on his Divine Power to me, I wonder if it would work...’

He was filled with countless thoughts, truly difficult to calm down.

Divine Power is known for being bizarre and beyond normal comprehension.

Possessing a type of Resurrection Divine Power is also normal.

Of course, Zhong Shenxiu, who retained the memories of Dragon and Tiger True Man Zhang Taiyi, knew clearly that even with such Divine Power, one could not dominate in the main world.

Or rather, any Divine Power can flaunt its might for a moment within its own realm, but against a higher attainment or status, it would fail.

For example, Zhang Taiyi’s strongest Divine Power—Twelve Yuan Chen Universe Divine Light!

This is a First-class Divine Power, rumored to peak by reversing the time of a small region for up to Twelve Hours.

Of course, this only exists in legends.

Zhang Taiyi, risking his life, could only reverse time momentarily within a very small area.

Even so, that was enough to dominate in the realm of Divine Powers, killing ordinary Divine Power Realm Cultivators as easily as slaughtering a chicken.

However, should he face any Primordial Pill Cultivator, his death would be tragic beyond words.

This is because a Primordial Pill Cultivator already possesses a ’fruit status’, which, in Western terms, is known as ’rank’!

The Primordial Pill is a kind of fruit status, bringing not only an increase in Mana and lifespan but also an inexplicable blessing.

According to Zhong Shenxiu’s understanding, this is prioritization of Divine Skills!

For instance, in the main world, if one Cultivator developed a Divine Skill known as the strongest spear that could pierce through everything, and another Cultivator developed the strongest shield that could defend against everything, which of these two Cultivators would ultimately be stronger or weaker when they clashed?

If these two Cultivators are at the same realm, it then depends on the grade of the Divine Skills!

First-grade beats second-grade, second-grade beats third-grade, it’s that simple.

But if their realms differ, with one being a Primordial Pill Cultivator, even if their Divine Skills are only of the sixth or seventh grade, with the boost from their rank, they can easily shatter a (regular) Divine Power Cultivator’s first or second-grade Divine Skills.

For instance, if Zhang Taiyi were to face a Primordial Pill Cultivator, even if he risked his life, the Twelve Yuan Chen Universe Divine Light could at most manipulate a moment of life or death within time, and it might not even be triggered at all, easily suppressed!

Similarly, the Undying Evil Emperor’s Resurrection Divine Skill might dominate among Divine Power Practitioners, but if this time Zhong Shenxiu were a Primordial Pill Cultivator and actively suppressed the Resurrection Divine Skill using his rank, it could ensure his thorough death, without any chance of revival.

Without the enhancement of rank, Divine Skills are only effective against Divine Power Practitioners and below.

For instance, if the current Zhong Shenxiu learned the Resurrection Divine Skill and could even perform it on others, trying to resurrect a Primordial Pill Cultivator would be absolutely impossible.

In the Cultivation World, different levels exist; without reaching that specific fruit status, one can hardly imagine the glory of that realm.

’But even so, the Nine Lives Evil Technique is an excellent technique for preserving one’s life; as long as I do not face a Primordial, it is enough to let me dominate within the Divine Skills...’

Zhong Shenxiu’s mind was filled with myriad thoughts.

The Saint Monk opposite him performed a salute and declared loudly, "Congratulations on your breakthrough beyond the Mystical Gate, sighting Spirit Mountain, this old monk must pursue that undying individual, hence I take my leave..."

His figure flashed, as if he had used a Divine Skill to shrink the earth to an inch, and departed, leaving behind only a slowly fading afterimage.

Leaving only the Grandmasters, disheveled in the wind.

"What... what did the Saint Monk just say?"

Jinkehuan stared blankly at a Grandmaster beside him, his voice uneasy, "No... what exactly happened just now?"

"It seems... the Undying Evil Emperor ambushed Xun Liuyi, but Xun Liuyi has already ascended to Great Grandmaster... with the Saint Monk, they struck down the Undying Evil Emperor, no, they didn’t kill him..."

Another Grandmaster also felt his mind in disarray, and slapped himself, as if thinking he was still dreaming.

Yan Wushuang stared blankly at Zhong Shenxiu, unsure of what to say.

Although everyone was optimistic about Xun Liuyi ascending to Great Grandmaster, thinking he had a great chance to be noted in the celestial rankings.

But being optimistic about something and actually achieving it immediately were two completely different situations!

She suddenly felt him drifting further away from her, her eyes unexpectedly welling up with tears.

At that moment, the Great Divine Catcher of the Divine Capture Sect, Tie Xue, had already walked over step by step, his expression solemn, bowing deeply, "Congratulations to Senior Xun for breaking through the Divinity Passage, ascending to Great Grandmaster!"

"Congratulations, Senior, on your breakthrough and ascension!"

This seemed to trigger something; first from the Divine Capture Sect’s Grandmasters, then the Six Void Sect, Stone Buddha Temple, Lingnan Song Family...

Each Grandmasters, facing Zhong Shenxiu, all lowered their noble heads.
