Chapter 388: Chapter 200: Annihilation

Everything before his eyes had lost its color, and the monk from Dharma Temple felt everything blend into obscurity as his Divine Sense was completely strangled.

To swiftly end the battle, Qing Yu executed a move he had never used before.

Heaven and Earth collided—the Heaven and Earth Refusal clash of purity and turbidity.

Once this move was deployed, Qing Yu himself felt a backlash surging towards his Dantian, fortunately, the "Ten Thousand Paths" adjusted in time and turned the backlash into nothingness.

Even Qing Yu suffered from the backlash, one could only imagine the condition of the monk from Dharma Temple.

It was as if Heaven and Earth had merged again. Pure Qi pressed down, turbid Qi rose, and the endless force of their intersection crushed the monk into powder. Not to mention his bones, even a speck of blood mist could hardly exist.

The aftermath of the destruction spread, also engulfing Duan Ran who was confronting the Intention of the Sea of Suffering.

"Hold your hand!" Monk Shi Jue urgently shouted.

The tragic state of the monk from Dharma Temple was still lingering before his eyes, and Shi Jue absolutely did not want Duan Ran to follow in that monk’s footsteps.

To be precise, it was the Nirvana Relics that followed in the footsteps. It wouldn’t matter much if Duan Ran was dead, but if the Nirvana Relics were destroyed, this trip would have been in vain.

Moreover, martial artists like Duan Ran, who possessed Nirvana Relics, were unique in this world. Having missed this opportunity, Shi Jue would really have to kill the experts from the Silent Annihilation Zen Temple in the True Pill Realm to forcefully obtain the relics.

However, even Qing Yu was subjected to backlash from the move Heaven and Earth Refusal—how could he control its aftermath?

The aftermath of Heaven and Earth Refusal approached Duan Ran under the despairing gaze of Monk Shi Jue

However, in that instant······

The Mental Realm of Heaven and Earth Refusal, which erased everything, triggered something hidden in Duan Ran’s sleeve.

All became empty, all was extinguished.

A blade light that extinguished everything tore Duan Ran’s sleeve apart, colliding with the aftermath of Heaven and Earth Refusal.

Destruction met Silent Annihilation. The two forces collided, unleashing a powerful gust that swept over what was no longer even a heap of ruins at the Farmer’s Courtyard.

Blown by the blast, Duan Ran opened his eyes mid-air, revealing a hollow gaze as if he was devoid of any cognition.

As though he had lost his sanity, Duan Ran grabbed a Precepts Blade that flew out of his sleeve and abruptly sliced horizontally.

A gray Blade Energy swept out, where it passed, All Techniques ceased to exist, even the most basic Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was turned into nothing by this Blade Energy.

"Great Annihilation Saber, unbeatable!" Monk Shi Jue shouted in alarm.

The Great Annihilation Saber was the signature Sword Technique of the Silent Annihilation Zen Temple, an advanced version of the Silent Annihilation Six Slashes once used by Ghost Cicada Monk.

And the Ghost Cicada Monk of the Divine Origin Realm was still using the Silent Annihilation Six Slashes; without a doubt, the Great Annihilation Saber was a Martial Arts only those in the True Pill Realm qualified to wield.

Although Qing Yu was not as knowledgeable about all these intricacies as Shi Jue, it did not prevent him from realizing the fierceness of this move.

"Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill" clearly reflected the terrifying power of this move. This move was unstoppable; to block it was to die.

"Sky Mountain Escape."

There are mountains under heaven, distant mountains hide people. Qing Yu’s figure suddenly vanished without a trace, mysteriously fading away.

On the other side, Shi Jue was energizing his blood and Qi. His slender figure suddenly grew tall, transforming from a delicate little monk into a muscular big man in the blink of an eye.

His Essence Qi rose like smoke signals, floating several zhang high, very intimidating and very conspicuous.

Monk Shi Jue was risking it all.

First, it was Heaven and Earth Refusal, then the Great Annihilation Saber, both awe-inspiring, shaking the wilderness.

Though Dharma Temple was several li away from this place, such a distance was not enough to block the noise for the keen hearing of a master.

Monk Shi Jue had to bring out his greatest skill.

Duan Ran could execute the Great Annihilation Saber only because he had the help of the Nirvana Relic. Speaking of relics, the meat relic absorbed by Monk Shi Jue, containing a great deal of Essence Qi, was not lacking in power.

After all, the Nirvana Relics were left by Martial Artists of the True Pill Realm, whereas the meat relic absorbed by Monk Shi Jue was an item from the Divinity Realm.

The Blade Energy of the Great Annihilation Saber eradicated everything, silencing even sound, as it slashed silently onto Monk Shi Jue’s body, which was elevated several feet.

"Boom—"

Intense Qi blood spilled from his body, grinding against and canceling out the Silent Annihilation Energy. Although the Great Annihilation Saber destroyed everything, it struggled to overcome the Qi blood enveloping Monk Shi Jue, resulting in a stalemate. Visible to the naked eye, the Great Annihilation Saber was slowly dissipating.

"Help!" Monk Shi Jue suddenly bellowed, his facial muscles trembling continuously.

It was painful.

Despite the Qi blood from the Divinity Realm meat relic being far superior to the Great Annihilation Saber wielded by Duan Ran, the Qi blood, once absorbed by Monk Shi Jue, could no longer unleash the formidable power expected of the Divinity Realm.

Monk Shi Jue was enduring the strikes of the Great Annihilation Saber with his flesh, to say it wasn’t painful was pure self-deception.

Did you not see Monk Shi Jue in so much pain that he couldn’t even maintain his "Heart Zen Immortal Skill"?

Qing Yu’s figure suddenly appeared by Duan Ran’s side, raising his hand and invoking another heavenly technique.

But this time, it wasn’t Heaven and Earth Refusal, but—

Earth Heaven Tai.

Below Qian above Kun, peace and prosperity, the Earth’s Qi intermingled, the lesser yielding to the greater. Everywhere invincible, arduously maintaining integrity, descending from honor and following the wise.

Using this move to vent the Silent Annihilation Energy, in combination with Monk Shi Jue’s firm resistance with his Qi blood, quickly eradicated the Great Annihilation Saber.

Once the Blade Energy dissipated, the true nature of the blade in Duan Ran’s hand became visible.

The Precepts Blade, four fingers long, resembled a bird’s feather, exceedingly ordinary. It was not the type of Precepts Blade used by Buddhist Martial Artists for combat, but rather the standard Precepts Blade reserved by Buddhist monks for skinning, nail clipping, sore breaking, and cloth cutting.

However, this ordinary skinning and nail clipping Precepts Blade, once inlaid with a Nirvana Relic, became extraordinary.

At the tail end of the Precepts Blade’s handle, a grayish-white bead was embedded; this was precisely the item Monk Shi Jue intended to seize—the Nirvana Relic.

Upon seeing this relic, joy vividly appeared in Monk Shi Jue’s eyes, and with a huge palm, he fiercely slammed it down.

Black energy surged from his palm, displaying a vicious color, aiming specifically at the spirit—extremely malicious by nature, known as—

"Five Poison Palm," Monk Shi Jue shouted loudly.

"Spurt—"

Qing Yu nearly choked on his spit.

Five Poison Palm, goddamn Five Poison Palm.

Hmm... Qing Yu sensed that the black energy emanating from Monk Shi Jue’s fingertips embodied greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt—the "Five Poison Heart" that Buddhist practitioners must overcome. Calling it Five Poisons wasn’t an exaggeration.

But why, upon hearing Five Poison Palm, did he think of centipedes, venomous snakes, scorpions, geckos, and toads?

Monk Shi Jue’s palm heavily landed on Duan Ran’s shoulder, greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt—the Five Poisons infiltrating the spirit, shattering Duan Ran’s then-empty Heart of Silent Annihilation. With a hand covered in intense blood color, enveloped in Qi blood for protection, he firmly grasped the Precepts Blade inlaid with the Nirvana Relic.

Meanwhile, Qing Yu moved behind Duan Ran, generating Thunder Fire in his palm, and struck his back.

Fire and Thunder Devouring.

Above Li below Zhen, wood nourished by fire, with flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder.

"Boom—"

Thunder Fire surged violently, blasting a charred hole through Duan Ran’s chest, reducing his heart to cinders.
