Chapter 414: A Striking Change

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Outside of the tactical formation, Hongjun saw that the Power of Time could not erode the huge heart. He knitted his brows and felt more and more anxious. He had spent 100,000 years trying to destroy Minghe, but he could not destroy his heart, which was really weird. However, he had done so much already, so he certainly would not give up.

In desperation, he only could forcefully activate the tactical formation. For a moment, the Power of Time in the formation greatly increased. However, no matter how formidable the Power of Time was, the huge heart was still as bright as red blood and full of vitality. And on top of that, the heartbeat had been unexpectedly enhanced.

Suddenly, a powerful force surged from the huge heart. The surrounding Power of Time seemed to be called and it flooded into the heart. As the Power of Time constantly poured in, the heart was beating harder. "Thump... Thump... Thump... Thump!" The heartbeat resounded more and more.

Hearing the ever-increasing sonorous and forceful heartbeat, Hongjun suddenly changed his expression. Perhaps his greatest concern was the sudden rise of the violent fluctuation, which was followed by the change of the heart. He was very familiar with the violent fluctuation, as it was the fluctuation of the Law of Time. Unexpectedly, the Twelve Earthly Branches Formation had enlightened Minghe to understand the Law of Time, rather than killed him.

Far beyond his expectations, the Law of Time was among the top of the 3,000 Divine Laws, and also the most unintelligible. Amazingly, Minghe comprehended the Law of Time when he was between life and death. Now, Hongjun guessed that was what Minghe had come for because Minghe had not resisted much after entering the array.

"Lunatic." Hongjun could not help scolding him. In order to comprehend the Law of Time, Minghe dared to risk his life by staying in the formation. He was so insane that his body was nearly destroyed with only a heartbeat remaining. Actually, a few people might dare to try this crazy behavior, which was like gambling with their life. And if having bad luck, a man would suffer Disintegration of the Soul.

Even though Minghe comprehended the Law of Time, Hongjun did not care too much. Minghe had the Law of Time now, but he was mortally injured, with only 10% to 20% of his strength left, so he could pose no threat to Hongjun. Although the Twelve Earthly Branches Formation posed no threat to Minghe, Hongjun still retained 50% to 60% of his strength.

As he waved his hand, Hongjun withdrew the Twelve Earthly Branches Banner. He had manipulated the formation for 100,000 years, so he had consumed a lot of supernatural power. By comparison, Minghe was in a worse situation. Hongjun stretched out his hand and a Half Supreme Treasure of Chaos fairy sword appeared there again. The sword flashed the Power of Fate, but it was weaker than it was in the beginning.

But across from Hongjun, a huge heart suddenly shook slightly and turned into Minghe with an extremely strange vital force. At the moment, Minghe looked very calm, as if he was not worried about his situation at all. He raised his head and looked at Hongjun with pa.s.sive eyes, as if he made light of him.

Seeing Minghe's pa.s.sive eyes, Hongjun suddenly felt surprised. In an instant, his intense anxiety was magnified several times. After all, he was a battle-scarred man, so he was tough-minded and would not waver due to just a look. As he brandished his sword to cut up Minghe, the strong Power of Fate seemed to obliterate Minghe directly.

However, Minghe's response really startled Hongjun. Minghe slowly stretched out two fingers and directly clamped onto Hongjun's sword. Minghe grabbed the sword without any weapons. Besides, the sword was a Half Supreme Treasure of Chaos, whose power and sharpness were marvelous, even if there was a little bit of damage.

Hongjun was startled as if he had seen a ghost. He never thought of such a situation in which Minghe could take his Half Supreme Treasure of Chaos fairy sword with merely two fingers, which was very incredible. Only a particularly strong man could do that. Hongjun knew someone else like that, and that was Pangu.

Minghe looked at the startled Hongjun with calmness and said coldly, "Hongjun, our Karma will be settled today. Goodbye!" As Minghe threw a punch, Hongjun hurriedly summoned a Top Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos s.h.i.+eld to ward it off. Unfortunately, he could not withstand the fist. Then, he died with a shattered s.h.i.+eld.

For 10,000 years, Hongjun moved about from Chaos to Untainted Land, and then from Untainted Land to Chaos. In the end, he went to the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons, experienced many adventures, and made great progress in cultivation. However, there could not be two suns in the sky, so Minghe and he were destined to be enemies. As the proverb goes: "One careless move loses the whole game". Although he had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years, Hongjun suffered the Disintegration of the Soul in the end, which was deplorable.

After killing Hongjun with a punch, Minghe looked very pale. He waved his sleeves and put away all of Hongjun's remaining things. Then, he shook his body and turned back into the huge heart. But at this moment, Minghe's Three Separations also appeared and were not surprised when they saw Minghe. Evil Separation and Selfcentric Separation held up Minghe's heart with supernatural power and entered into the World of Heaven and Earth. Heaven and Earth Taoist left that place rapidly and flew toward the Central Region.

After a little while, Heaven and Earth Taoist returned to Yunling Mountain and changed into Minghe. He took objects and ident.i.ty tokens, which were collected in the Starry Sky Region, and went to Mission Hall. After submitting the tasks, he became a rich man because he obtained about 6,000,000 contributions in total. However, in less than a moment, all the contributions had been used up.

With plenty of resources that he exchanged from Aura Hall, Heaven and Earth Taoist went back to the Immortal's Cave, and then he blocked the entire mountain and began Closed Door Meditation in the Tao-seeking Palace. At this time, although he killed Hongjun, his Indestructible Demon Body was almost destroyed. Compared with obtaining the newborn heart, it was not a pity that his Indestructible Demon Body was destroyed.

In the Tao-seeking Palace, Heaven and Earth Taoist waved his sleeves and a huge heart instantly appeared. He looked at the heart and said lightly, "Your Veneration, you've gone too far this time. Did you consider the outcome in which you would fail? If Hongjun had other cards in his hand and we could not rescue you timely?"

Facing such questions, Minghe's laughter came from the huge heart. "How could there be so many cases? Anyhow, I made it. I've obtained the key to the gate of the Supreme Realm. Moreover, I've comprehended the Law of Time. Therefore, I have free access to the Supreme Realm. Furthermore, based on my current situation, as long as I fully recover, n.o.body in the Land of the Central Region can pose a threat to me."

After hearing this, Heaven and Earth Taoist said in despair, "Alright. You succeeded this time due to good luck. I hope you can think carefully before you act in the future. Don't do something so risky." With this, he waved his sleeves and countless Treasures of Heaven and Earth appeared in the main hall. Heaven and Earth Taoist continued to say, "I've turned the contributions into things that you need. You'd better quickly recast your Indestructible Demon Body. I feel strange talking with you like this." After saying that, Heaven and Earth Taoist turned into a beam of glowing light and faded into the heart.

Minghe's Original Spirit hid inside the huge heart. This time, he risked a lot to confirm what path he should take in the future. Originally, when Minghe's Immortal Demon Body changed to the Indestructible Demon Body, Minghe had had a general idea about the promotion of the Indestructible Demon Body.

With an Immortal Demon Body, a man could have an undying body but might not have eternal Original Spirit. If one's Original Spirit was obliterated, it would be useless to a man who had an undying body. With the disappearance of his Original Spirit, a man would become a living-dead person or a new soul would be born. Although the soul might preserve some of Minghe's remaining memories, the man would not be Minghe, after all.

When realizing the Indestructible Demon Body, the Real Body of the Rakshasa could be immortal in the human body and Veridical Soul. Even if the Original Spirit were to vanish, Minghe could also depend on the indestructible Veridical Soul to get a rebirth. However, such a human body was not invincible. Both absolute power and powerful top-level laws could thoroughly obliterate the Indestructible Demon Body.

Then, Minghe had a new idea. Throughout all the ages, many experts moved about the entire world freely. However, with time, they all died in the end. Minghe wondered what would it be like if his body could not be corroded over time. When the idea came into being, Minghe was eager to give it a try. Unfortunately, he did not know the Law of Time, so he had to withdraw.

But this time, Minghe saw a glimmer of hope from Hongjun. Hongjun not only knew the Law of Time, but also could arrange the Formation of Time, which was a big opportunity for Minghe. However, the risks were too great. If Minghe could not comprehend the Law of Time before his body thoroughly died out, he would definitely die unless his Three Separations could rescue him from Hongjun.

This was an earthshaking gamble, which bet on Minghe's luck. It was a race against time, which, finally, Minghe won. He not only comprehended the Law of Time, but also completed his a.s.sumption with the Twelve Earthly Branches Formation, which he refined the Eternal Demon Body with the Indestructible Demon Body and the Power of Time. However, he could not refine the Eternal Demon Body because his Indestructible Demon Body had not reached perfection.

When Hongjun activated the formation to kill Minghe, Minghe also motivated his full strength to refine the heart to make it reach the peak of the Indestructible Demon Body ahead of the human body. Later on, he began to cast the Eternal Heart with the Power of Time. When Minghe comprehended the Law of Time to the Fate Realm, he finally completed the Eternal Heart.

The casting of the Eternal Heart was at the expense of the heart. Moreover, Minghe's Indestructible Demon Body was thoroughly corroded under the Power of Time. However, the effort would be rewarded. The power of the Eternal Heart was really amazing and gradually went beyond the limit of the Half Step to the Supreme Realm, which was just a step away from the Supreme Realm. With this power, Minghe easily killed Hongjun.

However, Minghe also found that although the Eternal Heart was powerful, it was very weak. A real Eternal Heart should have the power of the Supreme Realm, but Minghe's Eternal Heart only had the power between the Supreme Realm and the Half Step to the Supreme Realm. Moreover, there was not much of this power. Hence, when he killed Hongjun, the Eternal Heart became very weak after Minghe had used it once.
