Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Are You Kidding Me?
Immediately, colorful threads of other rules appeared within his Holy Sanctuary.
As soon as they entered, they quickly drilled deep into the Holy Sanctuary.
And naturally swam beneath the corresponding Martial Dao foundation and fused with it.
After imparting over a hundred threads, the Ruins Essence stopped.
"Is it done?"
"There are too many Main Rules; you can’t master them all. Haven’t you felt the instability of the Holy Sanctuary yet?"
Brother Cheng looked bewildered: "What are you talking about? I feel great."
"Hurry up and continue! Bring it on, exhaust me!"
The Ruins Essence was speechless and could only continue.
Just like that, until the final 990 threads, Brother Cheng never said to stop.
When all 990 Main Rules were integrated into the Holy Sanctuary, Jiang Cheng now had a total of 992 Main Rules.
This was because several of the 9 Main Rules he originally had overlapped with those 990 wires.
These 992 Main Rules were fused with the nine major Martial Dao foundations, greatly advancing his understanding of the Holy Sanctuary.
But correspondingly, his Holy Sanctuary indeed became several times more chaotic.
Unlike other Saint Tier experts, whose Main Rules in their Holy Sanctuary were well-ordered and easily controlled.
The bleeding Ruins Essence gloated: "Your current Holy Sanctuary is not even as clear as an Ascending to Saint realm. All 992 rules are at Chaos Level."
"Before these rules are practiced to the Entry Realm, you can’t condense the Holy Sanctuary into a Daoist Heart."
Having the Daoist Heart is the mark of becoming an Immortal.
At that time, all rules reside within the Daoist Heart.
The power is many times stronger than at the Saint Tier.
After becoming an Immortal, to continue improving mainly involves cultivating that Daoist Heart to make it increasingly strong.
But condensing the Holy Sanctuary into a Daoist Heart requires all Main Rules to be honed to the Entry Realm as a basic condition.
This needs a deep understanding of the rules, requiring extensive insight and countless years.
In the eyes of the Ruins Essence, this kid never seemed hopeful of becoming a true Immortal in this lifetime.
Raising 992 Main Rules from Chaos Level to Entry Level would take eons, probably not even achieving a tenth before exhausting his lifespan.
I’d like to see how you handle this in the future!
After all, he just wanted to escape now, couldn’t care less about Jiang Cheng’s future ascension to Immortality.
"That’s for others. With my unparalleled Ten Thousand Ancient talent, do you think this is a difficult task for me?"
Brother Cheng couldn’t be bothered to overthink it.
He only knew that despite his Holy Sanctuary’s chaos, its overall strength was at least ten times greater than before!
No choice, the Main Rules had increased a hundredfold.
Even if he couldn’t control them well, the total amount was there.
"Can we continue destroying this tower now?"
"Of course, we agreed, we have the most contract spirit."
Brother Cheng picked up the sword he had just thrown away, then released the Holy Sanctuary and directed a full-force strike at the tower’s base.
Bam!
A dull sound, this time the tower was chopped with a dove egg-sized gap.
Its power was vastly increased from before.
The 992 Main Rules empowered Holy Sanctuary was indeed formidable.
Small fragments flew off, and a plume of white smoke rose lazily.
"Great!"
Seeing this result, the Ruins Essence cheered.
"At this rate, you won’t need a million years to succeed!"
Brother Cheng thought to himself, are you bad at math? The tower’s base is only half a meter long and wide. Cutting a dove egg-sized gap at a time, you could cut through it in less than a day, right?
Need a million years?
Suddenly, his gaze froze.
He saw the small gap he had just cut was slowly smoothing out, as if it had the ability to self-heal.
Looking at the smaller previous gaps, they had already healed completely, as good as new.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Come, explain it to me."
"Cough..."
The Ruins Essence coughed awkwardly before reluctantly explaining, "This tower is connected to the entire altar."
"So?"
"So any external damage here is compensated and repaired by the altar’s power."
"But you don’t need to worry, the altar doesn’t repair that quickly. As long as you cut faster, a million years should roughly do it."
Damn!
It’s no wonder the Ruins Essence had been trapped for tens of millions of years without escaping.
"Are you kidding me?"
Spend a million years swinging a sword here?
Brother Cheng said he’d rather die than live like that, even if he couldn’t resurrect.
He couldn’t bear it for a million years, let alone just one year.
"Handsome hero, you took my rules, and you said you’re most contract-bound."
For an entity like the Ruins Essence, who has existed since the Immortal Realm’s birth, a million years was nothing.
He didn’t want Jiang Cheng to give up.
"Damn it, so this was your plan all along."
Brother Cheng gritted his teeth: "So those 990 rules were given so readily, you dug a pit for me!"
"Hehehe, handsome hero, you’ve misunderstood..."
The Ruins Essence rarely tricked him, now secretly laughing on the side.
"Looks like I have to show some real skills."
Brother Cheng sighed; for these Main Rules, it was inevitable to suffer a bit.
"Oh?"
The Ruins Essence was surprised: "Do you have other means?"
He was skeptical.
A Saint Tier, no matter how strong, is limited.
Brother Cheng was already breaking that limit.
Truthfully, encountering a Saint Tier with such attack power in the Lower Realm, the Ruins Essence was secretly grateful to the heavens.
To grant him such a... oh no, strong and powerful helper.
Jiang Cheng did not reply; he opened the system panel and activated the Critical Strike Skill.
Critical Strike: The host can consume points to make the next attack have a 10x critical effect, with a cooldown of one day.
Opening the Critical Strike, the panel showed he was now at late-stage Saint Tier.
This was calculated according to his Divine Soul Level.
It consumed one billion points at early-stage Saint Tier, and now, at late-stage Saint Tier, it required three billion points per use!
To avoid swinging a sword for a million years continuously, Brother Cheng had no other choice.
He unleashed his Domain with full force, using Azure Dragon Suppression, Poison Heroic Soul, Heroic Soul of the Prison, and the like.
Simultaneously activated his Immortal Body and Demon Body!
He used several Holy Pills to recover and adjust his state.
Finally, he activated the Critical Strike Skill.
Using a move from the Great Perfection Saint Tier Swordsmanship "Primordial White Sun Sword" that could triple attack power, but required burning all his Spiritual Power, with severe side effects.
He swung powerfully downwards!
In the void, nothing was visible.
With that sword, the altar, stretching tens of thousands of miles, was instantly enveloped in a white glow!
The surrounding chaotic rule flow and altar’s power couldn’t overshadow its brilliance!
Although, in an instant, it was dispersed by the chaotic rule flow and the altar.
Yet that instant of light was incomparably dazzling!
Even the group waiting far below was deeply shaken.
"What kind of power is this?"
"Who wielded it?"
Even Mo Chen was perplexed: "Could another Immortal have descended?"
Boom!
With a loud noise, the three-meter-high white Treasure Tower was cleaved and sent soaring through the air!
The entire base of the tower was completely severed, and endless black gas soared into the sky!
