Facing the violet light of destruction, Heifeng Jiansui immediately summoned the power of the five World Sprouts with him to defend. A five shaded tree formed before him to defend from the violet light of extermination.

Even though it should be impossible to use the power of Dao in this space, after reaching a certain level of power, all restrictions could be ignored. The brief battle of the five shaded tree and the violet light of extermination was equal to an exchange between Perpetual Emperors!

The five shaded tree was the power gathered from the World Trees of 3 Perpetual Emperors and 2 Immortal Kings. Gathered together into a Five Phase Formation, it could even chop through with the power of a Perpetual Emperor! Even so, the power of the violet destructive light seemed capable of piercing through it.

Heifeng Jiansui controlled the five powers into a tree barrier, bringing out the maximum power of the World Tree. Meanwhile, he realized why Nakshatra Shivaputra could battle with the power of a Perpetual Emperor with a mortal vessel.

The reason was absolutely compressed divine power of faith! Heifeng Jiansui’s knowledge of faith energy wasn’t high. In his previous life, he met some spirits to know more about faith energy. Concrete information was too little, and all he knew was rumors. Even the fact that maximum accumulation would result in a divine transformation to a deity was a rumor as well. All the records of the Nineorigin Chaosworld stated many wonders like Chaos Sovereigns, but the existence of a deity was nebulous.

In his past life, Heifeng Jiansui gathered some faith energy by his dissemination of the Quintessence Sword Codex, but it was basically useless to him. He used it to bind some spirits to serve him. Even so, it was around 100,000 years worth of fervent prayers. In terms of killing power, it was equivalent to a half-step Perennial Lord. The light of destruction… contained 3.6 million years worth of prayers, the accumulation of an era equivalent to the power of a Perpetual Emperor!

The five shaded tree began to fade gradually along with the violet light. This was mutual suppression. Finally, the two disappeared in light, not even leaving ashes. However, Heifeng Jiansui’s vigilance did not fall.

As expected, the violet light that was thick like a pillar had turned needle thin. Even so, it flew on. Heifeng Jiansui called his beloved sword Nineprime.

The needle thin violet light was struck by endless points of piercing swordlight, reducing its peerless momentum. And, it finally faded, vanishing into bright light. The relieved Heifeng Jiansui did not notice the hidden spell, and his consciousness was whisked away in the fading of light.

Heifeng Jiansui’s eyes saw a world of violet. At that moment, he realized the deception.

“So… that violet light had the component of a soul attack along with power of essence and qi. If it were anyplace else, I would have feared for my life, but in this place…” Heifeng Jiansui simply chuckled.

In his reincarnation, his body was lost but his soul remained. The peerless soul of a Chaos Sovereign was sealed by countless restrictions so that the mortal body may not be overwhelmed. But in the spiritual world of the Heavenly Dao, those restrictions were null and Heifeng Jiansui could summon a world crushing might!

Since there was no need to hesitate, Heifeng Jiansui decided to explore the violet dreamland that had sealed him. Walking forward step by step, he could see the violet light brightening. Slowly, the world around him had countless violet runes revealing themselves, all containing aspects to the laws of death, destruction and desolation. Strangely, there were laws of nirvana, reincarnation and purification complementing them as well.

The runes came together to form a divine cultivation art using the power of faith. Heifeng Jiansui walked slowly to perfectly gather it, thinking it might be useful to Nineorigin. Finally, when it was 99% complete, Heifeng Jiansui found himself facing a single man.

He was tall and strong, yet had the disposition of a holy man with matted hair and only a loincloth covering his waist. A violet serpent coiled around his neck like a scarf. The uncovered part of his neck revealed a pure blue shade. His matted hair had the aspect of a holy blue river. The third eye on his forehead shone with violet destruction. On his back was a tri-pronged spear, on his waist was a two-headed drum with beads strung in leather cords on its two sides.

This was the divine ancestor of Nakshatra Shivaputra. The God of Destruction Shiva looked at him like he was facing an ant.

“So you are the evildoer threatening my blood descendent. Your attempt to shatter her divine heritage summoned your soul in this Divine Realm. Plead for mercy and I will allow your reincarnation into an ant. If you do not repent, your soul will shatter and your fate will be eternal oblivion.” The God didn’t mince his words.

“Oh, a shard of a deity’s divine soul dares to be so arrogant? What reincarnation and soul shattering, you can’t lift a hair off me.” Heifeng Jiansui simply stated the truth to the god, making him grit his teeth.

“Hmph, how ill-fated that I cannot smite an evildoer like you.” Saying these words, the God tacitly admitted his defeat. That’s right, this was a soulshard that couldn’t even form a divine avatar.

“Well then, time to end this. Your pure soul, let me swallow it whole.” Saying this, the might of a Chaos Sovereign’s soul was unleashed.

The violet world collapsed into dust in a blink.

Returning to his mortal body, Heifeng Jiansui once again met eyes with the beauty who attempted to kill him many times. Her face glowed with beauty on seeing his clear mind.

“And so, you passed the third trial with flying colors once more. Then I, Nakshatra Shivaputra grant you the position of Mahasura, the bringer of calamity, of the divine war, slaughtering gods and demons with abandon! With my blood, I acknowledge!” Saying this, the woman who wasn’t phased even by the strike of a Perpetual Emperor began a divine proclamation.

“Heifeng Jiansui. By the yajna I have performed, you shall receive the heritage of the end of Kaliyuga, the power to end the world of gods and demons. You shall also receive my path and my divine blood, the faith energy accumulated me and the power to tread into the Chaturdasha-loka, the Eternal World I hail from. You have 3 million years. Rise as far as you can before that. After that, follow your fate, usher in the end of divinity, slaughtering through gods and demons without care!” With a malevolent expression, Nakshatra announced a prophecy sealing Heifeng Jiansui’s fate.

Slowly and methodically, she walked before Heifeng Jiansui who was sealed by the divine power of prophecy, enjoying the piercing gaze of his unflinching eyes. She came before his unmoving figure and pressed her lips to his.

Heifeng Jiansui could still taste the cherry-like lips pressed on his. Immediately, a boundless record of information entered his mind. But Heifeng Jiansui ignored it and tried to break free from the sealing, escaping from the forceful kiss. But Nakshatra‘s mocking gaze firmly sealed him.

Finally, the transmission of information ended. And the transmission of blood heritage began. Nakshatra’s body began turning into dust as her blood, energy and soul began fusing into Heifeng Jiansui.

Before turning into dust, her eyes smiled at Heifeng Jiansui. “3 million years… I’ll await you. When you cut through gods like a demon king, I’ll be the hero who shall stop you. The extermination of the divine court will allow my ascent. There will also be the hero of the end… Kalki, the final incarnation of Vishnu. Beside him, I will save the world that shall end by your sword. Until then.”

With these words, the lips pressed on him disappeared, the transmission of heritage complete. Heifeng Jiansui then began to experience the final heritage that would give him world ending power.

The demon that would signal the end of Kaliyuga, the darkest era. The king of Asuras, whose desire would not burn even facing the destruction of Shiva’s third eye. The peerless demon opposing heaven, smiting the 14 realms and slaughtering gods and demons like chickens.

The Mahasura, the bringer of Calamity to Chaturdasha-loka!
