Chapter 803: A Horrible Grand Thief

The essence of Scroll of Stealing was the Myriad Harmonization Grand Magic, but what made it so terrifying was the thread of innate thief energy.

Wu Qi had once cultivated Five Elements Sword Technique, the cultivation technique from Heaven Breaking Sword Sect. It was like giving a butcher a kitchen knife.

He had also cultivated White Cloud Immortal Sect’s cultivation technique. It was like giving a butcher a sharp steel sword.

When he was cultivating Inferno Hell Fiend Scripture, Dark Yin Water Scripture, and other similar cultivation techniques, it was like he was a butcher given with a treasure sword that had been thoroughly tempered.

Cultivation techniques like the Song of Gale, Dragon Transformation Script, and Dragon Kill were equivalent to an assault rifle.

The Book of Ancient God he inherited from Scroll of Stealing, the Primordial Dao of Divinity he obtained from Princess Zhang Le, and Lord Buddha’s Great Light Indestructible Amitabha Treasure Scripture, all these techniques were like a heavy machine gun or heavy artillery with infinite ammunition.

But after the thread of thief energy merged with his divine soul, the transformation it brought him was like a bloodthirsty and murderous butcher suddenly found an ammunition depot with infinite ammunition, in which was fully stuffed with nuclear bombs. On top of that, all the bombs were armed and ready to launch. He just needed to push a button, and he would be able to bring down heaven and shatter the earth.

Natural Phenomena Medallion, the mighty treasure personally crafted by the Sacred Emperor, Zhuanxu, which could conjure a world once triggered, was swallowed by Wu Qi. It took him only seven days and seven nights to completely convert it back to the purest energy and fused with it. A treasure of this grade was extremely difficult to destroy. Even if an average Primordial expert wished to destroy it, he would need to slowly burn it with the fire of cauldron for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

But Wu Qi only took seven days and seven nights. And not only had he destroyed it, but he had completely converted it into a stream of energy and fused it with him. He had also merged its existence seal with his divine soul, and had mastered the secrets of all its restrictive arrays. Now, at his thought, he would be able to transform into a Natural Phenomena Medallion in human form, giving him the ability to unleash the powers of earth, water, fire, wind, and all the other natural elements at will.

The extraordinary treasure also provided him a tremendous amount of energy, which was about the same as the magic power of a hundred thousand peak Gold Immortals. It had greatly relieved Wu Qi’s terrible hunger.

He did not stop there. Opening his mouth, he swallowed the Pearl of Shen and began to digest it. The pearl lasted less than six hours before it was completely dissolved, for Wu Qi’s cultivation base had improved a lot, and its quality was lesser than the Natural Phenomena Medallion.

After a moment of consideration, he devoured the Dark Yin Celestial Tower as well. The tower was jointly crafted by many Supreme Oracles of the Directorate of Celestial using countless precious materials, and Wu Qi had also embedded many precious materials in it to enhance its power. Even so, he opened his mouth and swallowed it. As his divine soul emanated a hazy aura to envelop it, faint waves of light rippled out of the tower.

With the help of the innate thief energy, it took him less than three days to completely digest such a precious treasure. All the treasures in it, including the Star Pearls, were converted into energy and injected into his body. Finally, when he branded the tower’s existence seal in his divine soul, he flicked open his eyes, from which immense starlight came pouring out, turned into countless tiny stars that wheeled rapidly around him and formed into a powerful Celestial Formation.

A vague ripple of time spread out from inside of his body. Wherever this ripple passed, the time was slowed down, from a thousand times slower to one thousand and five hundred times. Ao Buzun and others, who were guarding at his side, could no longer endure such a slow flow of time. Their bodies were stiffened, and their eyes fixed. In fact, it affected not only their physiological activities, but even their minds were almost stagnant.

Wu Qi burst out laughing. Then, he gestured at the eighteen Blood-draining Celestial Fiends, opened his mouth and swallowed them as well.

Since he now had learned the Myriad Harmonization Grand Magic, it was only natural for him to fuse with these Blood-draining Celestial Fiends. After converted them into energy and used it to improve his cultivation base, he could always conjure new Blood-draining Celestial Fiends when there was a need. By then, he could have more than eighteen of them, as many as his magic power allowed.

As they had devoured countless rare minerals and the blood essences of countless immortals and living beings in the past, when Wu Qi converted them into pure energy, they transformed into eighteen great dragons of energy, swimming restlessly in him. Taking a deep breath, he absorbed all these energies into his body. Immediately, his emptied body was half full, and the hunger had reduced to a level that he could endure.

He mustered the vast energy in his body and made it circulated for a moment according to all the various cultivation techniques he had learned. After he was very familiar with all the techniques, he gave a cold snort, and his hands began to flash rapidly in different incantation gestures. The Fiend Slaying Sword Formation spun, and in the blink of an eye all the Primordial experts in it, including Buddha Futu, were separated from each other.

He leaped forward and stepped into the heart of the formation, then came to the side of the Fiend Primordial Immortal.

As soon as he entered the formation, he saw countless stars with the diameters ranging between tens of thousands of miles to hundreds of thousands of miles were circulating in a boundless space. Stars that shone brightly were everywhere in sight. The terrible power of the stars had condensed into nine silver swords, which were gracefully spinning according to the rhythms of Taiji, Yin and Yang, Four Quadrants, and Eight Trigrams.

Every time when the nine swords spun, there was an invisible killing intent came sprinkling down, which either transformed into a meteor shower, a comet, or a silver black hole, and smashed down at the fiend immortal. Each of the strikes was extremely heavy and powerful, and they made the almighty expert from the Fiend League, who sat firmly on a dark cloud surrounded in seventy-two black flags, with seven burly fiends jumping wildly around him, ground his teeth and roared furiously.

It was unknown as to what kind of fiend cultivation technique had this Primordial expert cultivated. Although he was from the Fiend League, the avatar he had conjured had three heads, six arms, and nine eyes. A cloud dark as the pitch was swirling restlessly over him, inside a black lotus flower was shooting beams of black light to destroy all the various attacks that came at him. As the sword formation was too strong, he could only defend himself, and all his attempts to escape had failed.

Wu Qi stepped into the formation, and immediately exercised the Great Light Indestructible Amitabha Treasure Scripture, transforming himself into the Buddha’s avatar, with four faces and six arms. He gave a roar and swung all six arms together, unleashed a golden light that obscured the sky, which then formed into layers of blinding light that went straight to the fiend immortal.

The divine ability of the Buddhism League had been the nemesis of the demons and fiends, let alone the supreme Buddhist scripture cultivated by the Lord Buddha, Amitabha? Therefore, even though the fiend immortal’s magic power and cultivation base were greater than Wu Qi’s, the black gas he unleashed still could not withstand the blinding light. In a flash, seventy percent of it was dissolved.

With both hands locked into a Buddhist incantation gesture, Wu Qi chanted a Buddhist mantra. Golden fireballs shot out from his hands, then transformed into bolts of lightning and flashed down. The fiend immortal was caught unprepared, allowing the lightning bolts to rip the seventy-two black flags around him to pieces. Plumes of black smoke billowed out from the flags, but in the blink of an eye they were pulverized by the silver starlight.

Fiend Slaying Sword Formation began to spin at high speed. Nine Kunwu Swords shot out of the void, hacking toward the fiend immortal’s body.

The fiend immortal gave a loud cry. Hurriedly, he pulled out an immortal artifact shaped like the top of a man’s skull, which transformed into a thick black fog and enveloped him. Wu Qi gave a loud cry as well, then, while chanting a Buddhist mantra, he plunged down from above like a Mount Tai, striking the black fog with all his six arms like a gangster fighting on the street.

The black fog tumbled and became thinner, allowing the nine Kunwu Swords to easily pierce through it and cut the fiend immortal into pieces. Then, Wu Qi landed a heavy punch in his forehead, sent a vast amount of Buddhist power into his spiritual ocean and severely damaged his immortal soul.

The energy of thief turned into a dense plume of gray energy and spew out of his fist, wrapped around the fiend immortal’s soul, and brought it back into his body. Exercising Myriad Harmonization Grand Magic, Wu Qi opened his mouth and devoured the fiend immortal’s magic power.

Half a month later, Wu Qi gave a long cry happily, rose to his feet, and stepped into another part of the sword formation.

A trapped buddha was sitting cross-legged on a jade lotus throne, calmly facing at the attacks of sword rain and starlight. Wearing the avatar of Amitabha, Wu Qi quietly emerged before the buddha, waved his hand and crushed all the starlight and sword rain. Even the entire sword formation gave a violent tremble.

Exhilarated, the buddha stood up on his lotus throne, retracted his divine power, placed his palms together before his chest, and said reverently, “This disciple offers greeting…”

Wu Qi did not give the buddha a chance to finish his words. Two Blood Centipede Sword shot out of his nostrils, wheeled around the buddha’s head and gave it a brutal hacking and slashing, turning him bloody. Then, he grabbed the dead buddha with both hands and gave the body a hard squeeze. All of a sudden, the buddha dissolved into a great golden stream and rushed into Wu Qi’s body. Once again, the Myriad Harmonization Grand Magic began to rotate crazily.

Ten days later, Wu Qi came to another trapped buddha.

Five days later, the unique four-faces-and-six-arms avatar of Amitabha appeared next to the last trapped buddha.

Gusts of fragrance wind and rays of auspicious light gushed out of the sword formation. With the help of the energy provided by the three buddhas and their treasures, Wu Qi had smoothly stepped into the Primordial realm. In this world, a ninth-grade Primordial expert was considered a real upper-class figure, and could no longer be regarded as being in the same category as Gold Immortals and Heaven Immortals.

The power of Fiend Slaying Sword Formation soared a hundredfold. Wu Qi shook his body, and immediately he was shrouded in the Divine Flame of Great Tranquility, while his body emanated the pure and rich immortal aura of the Innate Pure Yang Universal Scripture. Casually, he walked up to a trapped Primordial Immortal. The three poor Primordial Immortals of the Dao League had had their heads hacked off by Blood Centipede Sword when Wu Qi ambushed them, and now, when they suddenly saw one of the high ministers of the Heaven, Immortal Ding Jun, appeared in front of them, their first reaction was the same as that of the buddhas: they rose to their feet hastily and offered their greetings.

As a result, in just ten days the three Primordial Immortals of the Dao League had become Wu Qi’s preys, and the cultivation techniques they cultivated had also become part of his private collections.

With the Myriad Harmonization Grand Magic and the innate thief energy, Wu Qi’s improvement in overall strength in just one month was comparable to the magic power and cultivation base that it took an average Primordial expert three eons to obtain.

The power of Fiend Slaying Sword Formation grew stronger once again, and Wu Qi, not willing to admit defeat, strode up to Buddha Futu.
