Chapter 674

When the sharp sword beams accompanied by killing intent bore into the nine-headed expert’s corpse, they began a complete decimation of his body .

“Whoosh . “

The corpse disintegrated and dispersed, and everything returned to the land .

Immediately, large amounts of merit descended . The richness of the merit made it come down like layer of golden light that enveloped Qin Yun . Yi Xiao watched by the side in anticipation . While Qin Yun received the merit, he did not hesitate to transfer everything to the Misty Rain Sword .

“We are all beings of the Three Realms,” said Qin Yun . “The Three Realms nurtured us to the point of us draining its own Heaven and Earth spiritual energies to fuel our cultivation . Right down to the food we eat, everything stems from the Three Realms . After death, our strength returns to the Three Realms . As for these experts from another universe, they are not of this world . After their bodies disintegrate, they are absorbed by the Three Realms . It’s something that adds to the Three Realms which results in the bestowment of merit .

“Ever since Gonggong smashed into Mt . Buzhou, the foundation of the Three Realms has been severely damaged . If its foundation was still perfect, it probably wouldn’t care too much about this sacrifice,” Qin Yun said as he discovered that the bestowing of merit had already stopped .

As the disintegration happened in a blink of an eye, the merit bestowment happened extremely quickly .

“This is a perfected Great Dao expert from a different universe . How much merit was bestowed?” pressed Yi Xiao .

Qin Yun transferred all the merit he received into the Misty Rain Sword and frowned . “It’s equivalent to killing one or two Ancestral Fiends . “

It was lower than expected .

“That little?” Yi Xiao could not help but say . “This is an expert at the perfected Great Dao realm . “

“Killing a perfected Great Dao expert of the Three Realms wouldn’t give merit, and instead, it would be a sin . ” Qin Yun said thoughtfully . “The Three Realms is constantly absorbing the Chaos powers of other universes; therefore, it does not care much for typical sacrifices . It probably requires a special energy signature to those lives for its benefit . I heard that capturing an enemy and bringing it to the Three Realms alive before killing it will result in more merit . Perhaps it’s the sacrifice of the Essence Soul that is more beneficial .

“Sacrificing a corpse alone ultimately gives partial benefits . ” Qin Yun was without solution .

Back in his battle with the mysterious Fate, even if he captured one of its puppets alive, a mere thought of Fate allowed him to abandon the envoys, turning them to corpses immediately .

“Try the next one,” said Yi Xiao immediately .

“Okay . “

Qin Yun waved his hand and another corpse appeared on the ground .

The black-robed humanoid fog’s corpse now revealed its true appearance . It had greenish-black skin . Looking at its corpse felt like seeing a faint but massive projection of a divine sea .

“Go . “

Qin Yun released his Misty Rain Sword’s sword beams and began disintegrating the corpse .

Another corpse was decimated .

Upon seeing this scene, Qin Yun suddenly sighed .

He also knew that the three corpses he received were probably long dead . Even if they weren’t dead, they were living lives akin to a puppet’s .

When the corpse disintegrated and returned to the Three Realms, merit descended .

Soon .

When the merit stopped descending, Qin Yun frowned slightly . This was because the black-robed fog’s corpse gave slightly less merit .

“What happened?” pressed Yi Xiao .

As Qin Yun transferred the merit to the Misty Rain Sword, he said, “It’s about the same as before; however, the last corpse is a little special . His body was extremely powerful and had potent vitality . “

With that said, he waved his hand .

Boom!

The giant’s corpse was the largest . Thankfully, there was an array formation set up in Mt . Lightning Roar . Even space was distorted to allow the giant’s corpse to be put down .

“This corpse sure is huge . ” Yi Xiao looked at the mountainous giant’s body in shock . She was like a speck in front of the corpse .

“The strength of his body is above Daoist Wen’s . ” Qin Yun laughed . “Goumang, Rushou, and I joined forces but failed to kill him even after we trapped him . Of course… he is now already dead . It will be much easier destroying his body . “

While alive, the power of the Essence Soul controlled the body, making the body’s defenses stronger .

Once the Essence Soul was gone, the body weakened greatly .

“The merit received from sacrificing this body should be a lot more . ” Qin Yun’s mind stirred as he released the sword beams . They entered the giant’s body through his nose and began causing damage within .

“Chi! Chi! Chi!”

Every spot of the giant was extremely resilient . The Misty Rain Sword beams actually failed to slice through them .

“The body has weakened in death, but to destroy it, I’ll still need to use my Intrinsic Flying Sword . ” Qin Yun released his Misty Rain Sword wistfully . It directly sliced through the giant’s skin and bore into his body to begin the damage .

However, the speed of the destruction was relatively slow .

“The corpse is too big and the vitality it contains is too potent,” Qin Yun said with a laugh . “It will probably take ten minutes to completely destroy it . “

“With your strength, you still need to spend ten minutes on a dead corpse?” Yi Xiao marveled .

“It’s very powerful . Its vitality is no way inferior to Wood God Goumang’s . The potency of his body matches nearly that of a Connate Pinnacle Numinous treasure . There’s only a chance of destroying it after its death . ” Qin Yun laughed . “He was the first one to fight us . To first use a body that is nearly unkillable, the intended strategy was probably to probe our strength . “

Qin Yun somewhat understood the mysterious Fate .

By sending an unkillable envoy…

He could figure out the visitor’s background and strength .

If the enemy was too powerful? He could flee quickly!

If he was confident, he would select three envoys that had an advantage over the enemy so as to kill them .

However, there was clearly a misjudgment of Qin Yun’s strength while fighting them; therefore, he suffered a setback .

“Oh?”

Qin Yun’s expression changed as he looked at the corpse in front of him . Somewhere in the veins of the giant’s corpse, Qin Yun caused a wisp of golden light seep out through his Misty Rain Sword . The wisp of golden light appeared lofty, like it was a power from a higher existence .

“What happened?” Yi Xiao inquired .

“Inside his body is a very special power,” muttered Qin Yun . “While I was destroying his corpse, this special power remained entrenched deep in the corpse’s bloodline . It is still able to resist my destruction out of sheer instinct . “

“Special power?” Yi Xiao was puzzled .

“I’ll first extract this special power . ” Qin Yun’s Misty Rain Sword enveloped the power within the giant’s corpse and every bit extracted was transported out with sword flashes .

“Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!”

Sword flashes carried the special power and flew out of the corpse .

They were wisps of distorted golden threads .

As the golden threads were extracted, the corpse weakened . The damage delivered became faster . The original estimate of ten minutes was reduced to seconds after the ten wisps of golden thread was extracted . The corpse was disintegrated and returned to the land as large amounts of merit descended .

“What power is this?” Qin Yun carefully looked at the ten distorted golden threads .

The merit the Three Realms bestowed finally came to a stop .

“Sacrifice . “

Qin Yun attempted destroying the powers of a wisp of the golden thread . It was filled with endless vitality, but without any body to bond to, it was destroyed by the Misty Rain Sword . The Three Realms also delivered some merit which was quite sizable .

“Brother Yun, how’s the merit situation now?” Yi Xiao pressed .

“95% . It’s still quite far from a Merit Cardinal treasure,” said Qin Yun . “If I sacrifice the remaining nine wisps, it should be able to reach 97% . “

Yi Xiao was astonished . “This mysterious power can be sacrificed for that much merit?”

“Hmm . “

Qin Yun carefully observed the golden threads . Under his scrutiny, the golden threads were enlarged thousands of times . They turned into a massive golden mystic chart which faintly outlined a massive giant . Despite seeing this figure from afar, Qin Yun sensed a form of repression . It was a feeling poles apart from facing his master or Goddess Nüwa .

The massive giant was likely at the Heavenly Dao realm, but its body was ridiculously powerful .

The golden mystic chart was naturally contained by the bloodline . It was unparalleled in terms of its profundity .

Qin Yun said softly, “If I’m not wrong, this is the power of a bloodline .

“That giant should be a blood descendant of a powerful existence .

“For his body to be this powerful, it has to do with his cultivation, but also his bloodline . ” Qin Yun observed carefully .
