Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Chapter 487 - 269: Dao Collapse Accelerates, I Took Him Down

"What realm has his Primordial Spirit reached, that he can ignore my Domain and traverse the Void, with Form Follows Heart."

The Star Meteor Sword cleaved through the air, and the Beidou Sword King immediately sensed danger. At that moment, he felt a terrifying wave coming from the left, catching a glimpse of Wei Fan swinging down the King’s Soldier with a sidelong glance.

Counterattack was too late, he desperately circulated power to defend, simultaneously moving his body horizontally to the right.

Puff...

However, how could he completely avoid it? If Form Follows Heart could be evaded, it wouldn’t be called an invincible technique. This method is as elusive as a god and impossible to guard against. You never know where the enemy might appear; by the time you discover it, it’s too late to react.

Blood splattered, the King’s Soldier nearly cleaved Beidou Sword King in half, slicing open half his body. If he had been a little slower, this blow would have split him down the middle.

"Ah..."

Beidou Sword King cried out in agony, emitting a pitiful scream, as the divine light of his royal body erupted, rapidly healing the wound and stopping the bleeding.

"Escape!"

Almost without hesitation, the thought of fleeing arose in him. With the ability of Form Follows Heart, continuing would inevitably lead to his doom here today.

Will Power swept forth, propelling his body to rush afar.

But just as he turned, Wei Fan’s figure appeared in front of him, and the King’s Soldier slashed heavily down.

Beidou Sword King was spooked, filled with fear and horror, his body moved horizontally again.

In the next moment, the King’s Soldier tore apart the protective light curtain on his body, and with an unstoppable momentum, struck his shoulder.

Wei Fan felt his arm tremble, as Beidou Sword King’s arm separated from his body, falling down into the air.

"Ah... Damn you, you’ve destroyed my royal body!"

Beidou Sword King let out a miserable scream, his expression unbelievably fierce.

He already knew that escaping was impossible. No matter how fast he was, it couldn’t be faster than appearing anywhere in a moment with Form Follows Heart in a short distance; unable to suppress Form Follows Heart, the only result was to wait for death.

Only by fighting desperately might there be a chance.

Gray light emitted from his brow center, vaguely a small gray figure opened its eyes from being closed, glaring angrily with wide eyes.

In the next moment, a terrifying storm of will swept out, the void around him slightly distorted.

Wei Fan raised his eyebrows: "Fighting desperately?"

Primordial Spirit visible through the flesh, the Beidou Sword King could be said to be using all his strength, even the force used to suckle.

As he absorbed the fallen arm’s power simultaneously, the Star Meteor Sword he wielded swept horizontally, aiming to slash Wei Fan at the waist.

The Power of the Stars surged forth, condensing into a dazzling Sword Aura, as if a new sun appeared in the sky, making the sword light blinding.

But Wei Fan vanished from the Beidou Sword King’s sight again, the Star Meteor Sword struck nothing, merely causing several distant mountains to break apart.

"Come out, dare to face duel directly!"

Beidou Sword King’s expression was frenzied, wildly slashing with the Star Meteor Sword. He was not afraid to fight desperately, but in this battle where he couldn’t even see the enemy’s shadow, he couldn’t fight at all.

An era of Martial King, at this moment, devoid of the previous domineering presence over the world.

"Die!"

Wei Fan appeared silently above his head, the King’s Soldier cleaved down like chopping wood, splitting Beidou Sword King’s head, Primordial Spirit severed in two.

Blood sprayed, a mass of organs scattered, the frenzied expression of Beidou Sword King froze suddenly, as the collapsing energy poured out to all directions like a river breaking its banks.

Rumble...

The world trembled violently, as if Beidou Sword King’s death triggered some change, like something had been burst open.

"Dao Collapse?"

Wei Fan’s face showed an expression of shock, suddenly looking up to the heavens, that invisible, vast, majestic thing, Qi Daozhen’s Martial Dao, at this moment seemingly accelerating its collapse, and an invisible terrifying pressure descended from the sky.

In an instant, the entire wilderness seemed to quiver, the more profound one’s cultivation, the more uncomfortable they felt.

At the same time, across the wilderness, whether as Martial King or Demon King, all showed an expression of shock, collectively gazing at the heavens.

Normal individuals can’t sense Qi Daozhen’s Dao in the starry sky, but King-level Experts are aware every moment the gigantic, majestic thing pressing upon them, so heavy they can barely breathe.

At this moment, in the heart spirit of all Martial Kings, Qi Daozhen’s Dao massively disintegrated, and invisible pressure descended, threatening to shatter their Primordial Spirit.

"Why is this happening? How did the Dao Collapse suddenly accelerate!"

Somewhere in the wilderness, Feng Hua displayed a look of shock, difficultly lifting his head to gaze at the heavens.

The acceleration of Dao Collapse was terrifyingly impactful for them as Martial Kings, shaking even their Primordial Spirit, while those below Martial Kings felt nothing particularly.

"According to this rate, Dao Collapse might conclude within a few hundred years, then the wilderness could return to normal, after millennia of suppression, the wilderness will briefly flourish, becoming the world’s cultivation holy land!"

She comes from the outside world and has read many records about Dao Collapse. When Dao Collapse forms, although it makes a place’s Essence Qi sparse and Martial Dao not apparent, once it ends, that place will briefly become a supreme Cultivation Holy Land, with Essence Qi surging and Martial Dao highlighted, making both Enlightenment Dao and cultivation feel as if one is on drugs.

Feng Hua’s eyes revealed a look of anticipation. If Dao Collapse ends within hundreds of years, she would experience the legendary brief Cultivation Holy Land created by Dao Collapse.

"It is said that after Dao Collapse ends, the benefits gained by the local creatures are the greatest. Although those who come afterward will also benefit, it’s not as much as the creatures born locally.

Therefore, to gain the same benefits as the local creatures, entering the Land of Dao Collapse to be infected by the Dao Collapse’s aura before it ends is a very effective way to deceive the heavens, allowing outsiders to also obtain the same benefits as local creatures!"

In fact, there have always been experts outside keeping an eye on the Wilderness, only waiting for Dao Collapse to almost end before breaking into the Wilderness to gain the same benefits as local creatures.

The Dao Collapse of the Wilderness still needs about two thousand years to end, as said by a certain Martial Saint.

Today, Dao Collapse suddenly changed, perhaps the outside world will also be shocked, and maybe there will be experts taking risks to come in for a check.

"But now that I’m already in the Wilderness, infected by the Dao Collapse’s aura, in hundreds of years, I won’t need to break into the dangerous regions anymore."

Suddenly, Feng Hua felt a sense of relief, as that terrifying pressure that nearly split her Primordial Spirit disappeared.

Her Heart Spirit observed the past and found that the speed of Dao Collapse had returned to normal, which left her puzzled, not knowing why Dao Collapse suddenly accelerated and then returned to normal.

...

"Was it the slaying of the Beidou Sword King that triggered the chaos in Dao Collapse?"

Wei Fan withdrew his gaze from the sky, a thought arose within him. The abnormal changes of Dao Collapse happened precisely at the instant he slew the Beidou Sword King, leading him to associate along those lines.

But it didn’t seem correct, because when he slew the Celestial Cyan Demon King earlier, it seemed there had been no such change.

"Maybe it was because I was just a Martial Venerable then and lacked the ability to sense such changes!"

Previously, apart from soaring into the sky, he couldn’t feel the existence of Dao Collapse, but after breaking through to Martial King, he constantly felt the presence of an immensely powerful entity hovering above.

This was a particularly uncomfortable feeling, as though a gigantic Divine Mountain pressed against his head, ready to fall and squash him to pulp at any moment.

Even without Feng Hua, once breaking through to Martial King, he would see the true face of the Wilderness.

[Slay Beidou Sword King, gain 50,000 years of Ordinary Power, 100 years of Martial King’s Power]

[Ordinary Power: 220,000 years]

[Martial King’s Power: 100 years]

Wei Fan didn’t delve deeply into the matter of Dao Collapse suddenly speeding up. After the pressure returned to normal, he glanced at the panel as he descended from the sky to retrieve the Beidou Sword King’s Storage Gourd and Star Meteor Sword before grinding his bones and scattering his ashes. He returned directly to the Great Liang Capital City.

The matters in Great Liang were still unfinished, so he couldn’t leave for the time being. Today he went out specifically to kill the Beidou Sword King.

He didn’t immediately rush to Beidou Sword Sect for extermination, as there were four to five dynasties between Beidou Sword Sect and the Da Liang Kingdom, even for a Martial King Powerhouse, it’s not a stretch one can traverse in a short time.

Once the Beidou Sword King dies, the disciples of Beidou Sword Sect will definitely know right away. If their disciples were to flee, by the time he struck, they would be long gone.

If they don’t run, it would be the same when he arrives a few days later, no need to rush in haste!

"Has the Martial King’s Battle ended so quickly with a victor decided?"

At the same time, experts within several hundred miles discovered the Martial King’s aura that pervaded the heavens and earth had disappeared, indicating the end of the Martial King’s Battle.

No one knew whether a winner had been determined or life and death had been decided, so they hurried to inquire about the news.

"Huh? Hall Master!"

Wei Fan flew for a while before seeing Elder Gongyang coming from afar, the Martial King Powerhouse’s aura rolling like a vast ocean across the sky, approaching Wei Fan in an instant.

He showed a look of surprise: "Where is the Beidou Sword King?"

He came here swiftly upon receiving Deng Yuchang’s message, hadn’t arrived yet when he saw the battle was over, thinking Wei Fan might have been in trouble, unexpectedly Wei Fan was unharmed: "Did he not kill you, or was he driven away by the person behind you?"

Wei Fan shook his head: "He was slaughtered by me!"

He didn’t deliberately hide from Elder Gongyang about his breakthrough to Martial King because, before long, he would go to the Demon Hunter Sub-Hall to exchange for Martial King-level Martial Techniques, and Elder Gongyang would be able to guess his breakthrough to Martial King.\p>

And given Elder Gongyang’s hasty arrival, he could also guess that it was from receiving news to rescue him.

"Slaughtered by you, well..."

Elder Gongyang subconsciously repeated Wei Fan’s words for a moment, and in the next instant, he reacted, showing a look of shock: "You...you said you killed the Beidou Sword King? Was it not the Martial King behind you, and you’ve broken through to Martial King?"

His aura even got somewhat uncontrolled, explosively spreading and cracking a piece of ground below.

It was not because Wei Fan had a powerhouse backing him, but rather he himself had already broken through to Martial King Realm, less than twenty years old in the Land of Dao Collapse.

At this moment, even though Elder Gongyang had been a Martial King for millennium, he couldn’t help but be amazed.

Wei Fan nodded lightly: "Mm!"

Martial King Second Layer!

In the instant Elder Gongyang’s aura went out of control, Wei Fan cleverly captured Elder Gongyang’s cultivation—Martial King Second Layer!
