I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 320: Immortal Thearch’s Mystic Art

Qi Shaoxuan stared straight at Wang Shenxu. They were at daggers drawn.

Since ancient times, all prodigies have had their pride.

The reason Qi Shaoxuan was courteous toward Shen Tian was that he had acknowledged his strength.

However, besides Shen Tian, there was no one else Qi Shaoxuan acknowledged! Not even Bodhisattva Kuduo, Fang Chang, or others!

Wang Shenxu dares to speak such absurd words, and Brother Shen is even speaking for him?

That made Qi Shaoxuan’s gaze toward Wang Shenxu become increasingly unkind.

He dares to say that he is on par with Brother Shen?

What a joke!

Rich battle intent surged throughout the whole cave.

Wang Shenxu tried to put up a front as he looked at Qi Shaoxuan, but he went weak on the inside.

“What are you planning to do!

“Do-don’t think that I’m afraid of you. If I was not worried that our battle might attract those Drakes and Dragons, I’d definitely defeat you!”

Shen Tian smiled and said, “That’s alright. I discovered a mystic realm when exploring Dragon God Island, and it’s an isolated space. If Brother Wang wants to spar with Brother Qi, we can go there.”

Wang Shenxu, “!?”

The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

After a long while, Wang Shenxu coughed lightly and said, “Cough, cough… I’ve consumed much of my vitality when fighting a fierce battle with the dozens of Mighty Prowess Dragons previously.

“I need to enter seclusion for a few days to recover. We’ll discuss this when I come out of seclusion!”

After finishing, Wang Shenxu wanted to turn and leave, but Qi Shaoxuan directly stopped him.

Qi Shaoxuan revealed a playful smile. “Brother Wang, where are you planning to go for seclusion? I could help guard you.”

Wang Shenxu, “!”

…

Shen Tian could not help but smile before saying, “Alright! We’re all prodigies of the human race, so we should help each other in this mystic realm. Let’s not fight amongst us.”

As he spoke, Shen Tian looked straight at Wang Shenxu’s forehead. “I’ve heard about the curse of Brother Wang’s divine void constitution before.

“Frankly speaking, that mystic realm which I found might be quite beneficial to Brother Wang.”

Beneficial to me?

Wang Shenxu looked at Shen Tian in doubt. “What benefit?”

Shen Tian smiled as he packed up their daily necessities.

“Brother Wang will know later.”

After the three of them tidied up the items like pots, pans, tables, and chairs, they left the cave under Shen Tian’s lead.

Qi Shaoxuan, Wang Shenxu, and Ao Wu could not completely conceal their presence. They would easily attract the Dragons if they were exposed to the outside for too long. Thus, Shen Tian did not waste time.

They took the nearest and fastest route and headed toward the direction of Wang Shenxu’s fortuitous opportunity scene at full speed.

Shortly after, Shen Tian brought everyone to the destination.

It was a swamp that was completely black and emitting an extremely disgusting smell.

The swamp’s smelly odor almost covered everyone’s scent.

There’s actually a mystic realm in such a place?

Wang Shenxu’s lips twitched slightly.

Just how much of a weirdo must that person be to set the mystic realm here?

And just how miserable must the person who discovered this mystic realm be to stumble upon such a place? It’s unbelievable even just thinking about it.

Shen Tian did not know what Wang Shenxu was thinking, or else he might be rendered speechless and blurt out, “That unlucky fellow is you!”

Originally, in the fortuitous opportunity scene, the Dragons would keep pursuing Wang Shenxu, and he would have no other choice but to run to this smelly swamp.

He would jump into the swamp in order to use the swamp’s stench to cover his scent and escape.

However, not only would Wang Shenxu unexpectedly discover a mystic realm there, but he would even obtain a certain astonishing fortuitous opportunity.

Frankly speaking, when Shen Tian had seen that scene, he had been so astonished he wanted to exclaim, “This fella should not be called Wang Shenxu, he should be named Wang Wuji[1]!”

However, since I’ve seen his fortuitous opportunity, I’ll get to discover it!

A free favor is always welcome!

…

“The mystic realm is right under this swamp. Everyone, follow me after activating your barrier.”

After that, Shen Tian radiated golden light, and a three-meter defensive barrier formed around him, completely enveloping him. Such a defensive barrier could completely insulate the swamp’s stench and protect Shen Tian by preventing him from being attacked when entering the swamp.

After all, no one knew if there might be ferocious beasts in such a smelly swamp filled with Spirit Qi.

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu exchanged looks and formed their own protective barriers before following Shen Tian into the swamp immediately.

As for Ao Wu, he nearly lost sight of them as he had been gathering up his courage for a while.

After the four of them entered the swamp, they felt that their energy consumption increased. Evidently, this was not a simple swamp.

The swamp contained highly toxic energy that could corrode a cultivator’s power.

If their energy’s purity was not astoundingly high, the swamp’s energies might have completely corroded them after a short while.

By then, there might be a few more skeletons within this swamp.

Roar!

At that moment, a roar reverberated throughout the swamp.

A humongous black figure appeared from the swamp’s depths, swimming toward them at full speed.

The instant that the black figure appeared, the four of them could clearly sense that the surrounding mud became thicker and more toxic and viscous.

The consumption speed of their energy suddenly increased by a few times.

Qi Shaoxuan frowned. “Not good, this swamp is the Dark Venomous Dragon’s lair!”

Although the Dragons on this island did not have high intelligence—they were unable to transform into humans like Ao Wu or learn cultivation techniques—it did not mean they were weak.

On the contrary, these Dragons were extremely powerful as they could control special nomological powers.

The nomological power this Dark Venomous Dragon could control was poison!

In this poisonous swamp, this Dark Venomous Dragon’s battle prowess would increase by a few times.

It could be said that this endless swamp was the Dark Venomous Dragon’s domain and could cause its enemies to be extremely restricted and weakened.

…

Roar!

The Dark Venomous Dragon started roaring again. It was like a humongous black lizard that emitted dark green poisonous gas. It was hideous.

However, it was indeed powerful as it could control the swamp to attack Shen Tian and the others from all directions.

This huge swamp instantly surged like the ocean.

Even Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu, two of the strongest Nascent Soul cultivators, were currently in a wretched plight.

There was no other choice as this was a Heavenly Venerable-level Dark Venomous Dragon, and they were even on its home ground.

It could be said that they were basically courting death.

When they saw this Dark Venomous Dragon appear, Shen Tian’s face instantly darkened.

What is going on?

Why are you not home when Wang Shenxu comes, but you appear once I bring everyone here?

Why? Are you looking down on me?

Are you purposely targeting me?

Or do you think I’m easier to deal with than Wang Shenxu?

I’ll show you today what a Clear Sky Hammer is[2]!

At that thought, Shen Tian did not retreat, but instead, he directly dashed toward that Dark Venomous Dragon.

“Brother Shen, don’t be rash! Wait until everyone is here before attacking!”

Wang Shenxu was stunned. He had a conflicted and serious expression on his face while being enveloped by his void energy barrier.

It was all lifespan— what he was consuming was lifespan!

However, what happened next dumbfounded Wang Shenxu.

He witnessed Shen Tian’s head emitting all kinds of bright divine light—red, white, yellow, green…

Shen Tian’s hair started standing one after another, and he looked extremely mighty!

At the same time, a hammer appeared in Shen Tian’s hands.

It was a purple hammer that was surrounded by golden lightning—Mixed Divine Lightning!

Currently, the aura that Shen Tian emitted suffocated Wang Shenxu. That was the oppression in terms of the disparity in strength.

The quality of Shen Tian’s current power was too high!

…

When Shen Tian started to burn throughout his whole body with golden flames, that Dark Venomous Dragon seemed to have sensed danger. It roared vigorously, and endless azure green poisonous gas gathered to form a ball of an extremely weird poisonous bomb.

Boom!

That huge poisonous gas bomb was shot out straight toward Shen Tian.

However, Shen Tian did not reveal any expression of fear at all.

The Feather Immortal Metal suddenly spread out behind him, and golden light shone brightly in that instant.

Shen Tian directly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already only tens of feet away from that Dark Venomous Dragon.

“Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers: Star-Smashing Hammer!”

Lightning flashed on the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer, and the hammer instantly grew larger.

That humongous Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer smashed down with golden light like a falling meteorite.

Boom!

The Dark Venomous Dragon’s humongous body was directly knocked 1,000 feet away into the distance, and even its face was hit askew.

Roar!

The Dark Venomous Dragon roared as it tried to forcibly control its body.

Endless poisonous gas surrounded it, trying to disperse those numbing bolts of lightning.

Unexpectedly, just as it dispersed a portion of the lightning and gained control over its body, Shen Tian got closer to it once again.

“Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers: Moon-Lifting Hammer!”

The enormous Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer was held upside down. Shen Tian’s body grew larger, and he actually transformed into a giant that was hundreds of feet in height. He swung with all his might and directly gave the Dark Venomous Dragon an upper hook from the bottom to top with his hammer.

In that instant, endless Mixed Divine Lightning surged and traveled throughout the Dark Venomous Dragon’s entire body, paralyzing it.

At the same time, a few of its poison fangs shot out of its mouth.

That’s right—quite a few teeth had been knocked out!

Duang!

Dong!

Hong!

Peng!

…

The swamp’s mud kept on surging.

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu gazed at each other in astonishment. They could feel that their mouths were unconsciously twitching.

Brutal!

Too brutal!

Thank goodness that Brother Shen is our ally.

If not, such an opponent is simply a nightmare!

Wang Shenxu looked at Qi Shaoxuan with fear in his eyes. “If I am not wrong, then he’s still at the Golden Body realm?”

Qi Shaoxuan nodded his head in resignation. “Yes, and this hammer arts is probably not Brother Shen’s most powerful technique.”

Tsss!

Wang Shenxu took in a sharp breath.

He was estimating in his mind that he would at least need to consume 50 years of his life to be able to wield destructive power.

An ultimate technique that I need to consume lifespan to use, you are actually able to use it as a normal attack?

Is this Divine Firmament Saint still f*cking human!?

Well, it’s a good thing that I did not slash Brother Shen with the invisible blade worth 50 years of lifespan.

Thank goodness!

…

An hour later, the thrashed Dark Venomous Dragon fled in panic. It was filled with injuries all over and looked miserable.

That was still a result of Shen Tian holding back. Otherwise, its head might already be sent flying.

It could only be said that the Dark Venomous Dragon was at too much of a disadvantage as its highly toxic venom that even peak Heavenly Venerables were afraid of was useless against Shen Tian.

The Pure Reincarnation Earth could purify any poison, so the Dark Venomous Dragon’s battle prowess was already weakened greatly.

In addition, Shen Tian had the Divine Devouring Vine and Hurricane Lilies, which could allow him to ignore the swamp’s restrictions.

To Shen Tian, battling in the swamp or outside didn’t make a difference. Thus, he was confident.

“Now, there’s nothing else disturbing us from finding fortuitous opportunities.” Shen Tian put away his Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer and revealed a warm smile. “Everyone follow me!”

Shen Tian continued leading the way.

The two humans and one Dragon gulped down their saliva before hurriedly following Shen Tian.

Without the Dark Venomous Dragon blocking the way, everyone quickly found their target in the depths of the swamp.

That was a huge Black Tortoise stone statue that was thousands of feet long. Its body was deeply buried within the poisonous swamp, only revealing its head.

Its head was shining with spots of black light, and its mouth was open as if it was connected to another space.

Looking at this Black Tortoise statue, Shen Tian revealed a satisfied smile.

My time and effort spent fighting that tiresome battle with the damned Dragon was not wasted. We’ve finally found this mystic realm!

“Everyone follow me!”

With the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer in hand, Shen Tian brought everyone into the Black Tortoise’s mouth and walked about hundreds of feet following the passageway.

Instantly, a bizarre light flashed before their eyes.

When their line of sight returned to normal, they found themselves in a new space.

…

This space had no boundaries and no end in sight.

A huge floating platform was in the center of this space.

Everyone was currently on this high platform in the air and in the center of this platform. There was also a completely black tablet.

This tablet was around 1,000 feet tall and hundreds of feet long. Countless divine emblems were carved on it, and there were also pictures of a Black Tortoise.

When everyone looked at this tablet, they could only sense immense knowledge surging toward them. It was extremely extraordinary.

A word carved in ancient writing was right in the middle of the tablet—Eternal!

Obviously, this was an extremely outstanding heritage that might not be weaker than the Kun Peng Dao!

Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu were still calm, but Wang Shenxu’s entire body was already trembling. He stared straight at this tablet with a burning gaze as if he was staring at a naked beauty. His breathing became faster too.

“This is it. This must be it!”

Wang Shenxu murmured, “Black Tortoise as its true body, Eternal as his title…

“That’s right! This must be the Eternal Thearch’s heritage! This-this is that Eternal Life Sutra!”

Wang Shenxu stared straight at that tablet without even batting his eyes as if he was afraid this tablet might disappear the next second.

Shen Tian smiled upon seeing how excited Wang Shenxu was. He could understand Wang Shenxu’s feelings as it was exactly the same as when he had discovered his providence could be improved.

When Shen Tian had just transmigrated and discovered that he was the embodiment of ultimate misfortune, he was much more miserable than Wang Shenxu, who would use up his lifespan to battle.

No matter how Wang Shenxu consumed his lifespan to battle, he could at least leave tens of years.

Meanwhile, if Shen Tian could not change his providence, it would be difficult for him to even live until 18 years old and become an adult.

Therefore, Shen Tian could understand Wang Shenxu’s feelings.

…

That’s right, Wang Shenxu’s fortuitous opportunity was the special heritage the Eternal Thearch had left behind, the Eternal Life Sutra.

It was said that this peerless mystic art could help one recover their consumed lifespan!
