The Bottom Line, Body Tempering with Divergent Flames
At this time, the Li family mansion was already littered with corpses, and the patriarch Li Zhou had his limbs broken and collapsed in a pool of blood.
The excruciating pain of his bones shattering nearly made him faint, but he clung to life.
A pair of bloodshot eyes stared intently at Wusheng before him, their gazes surging with boundless hatred and resentment.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you so ruthless towards my Li Household?"
My daughter, Li Xin, is a cultivator. When she returns and learns of your deeds, she will surely grind you to dust and leave you with no place to bury your body.
Wusheng looked down at him condescendingly, a cold smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Don't try to scare me, it won't work. I'll settle things with Li Xin later."
"Arrogant! Utterly ignorant of their own limitations!"
Li Zhou coughed up a mouthful of blood, yet he still shouted defiantly.
"There is a world of difference between cultivators and ordinary martial artists. No matter how skilled you are, you are nothing but an ant in front of my daughter's Immortal Method."
Today you slaughter my Li Household, tomorrow will be your death day!
Before he finished speaking, he used the dim light to examine Wusheng's face carefully once more.
Although that face had gained a touch of murderous ruthlessness, the contours of its brows and eyes gave him a sudden jolt.
His pupils contracted sharply, his face drained of color, and his voice trembled with disbelief:
"You... you're that Chu Sheng from back then?"
How is that possible!
Weren't you already expelled from the Chu Household, and your fate unknown?
"I didn't expect you to recognize me; you didn't just lie there confused."
Wusheng's sneer deepened, his tone full of mockery, "The name Chu Sheng was buried in the ground long ago along with the humiliation I suffered."
Standing before you now is Wusheng.
Oh, and there's something else I need to tell you. Just now, I personally slaughtered the entire Chu Household, leaving not a single one alive.
"What?"
Li Zhou was struck dumb, his face filled with horror, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
The previous hatred and shouting vanished instantly, leaving only a deep-seated fear.
He struggled frantically to kowtow and beg for mercy, but with all four limbs broken, he could only futilely twist his body, his voice filled with pleading:
"Nephew, spare my life!"
I have no deep-seated hatred for you. In fact, I even promised Xin'er to you in marriage and almost became your father-in-law!
For the sake of our past relationship, please spare my life!
Wusheng hearing this, Wusheng revealed a disdainful sneer, his eyes turning icy cold:
"Back then, your Li Household stormed into the Chu Household in a grand manner, tore the marriage certificate to shreds, and belittled me to nothing."
They even called me a piece of trash, saying I was unworthy to tarnish the honor of cultivators!
You have made me a laughingstock in Ting City, and you have trampled on my last shred of dignity."
Wusheng approached step by step, his tone filled with gnashing hatred.
"Because of this annulment of the engagement, the Chu Household kicked me out of the house, and that vicious woman Wang Yue almost beat me to death."
A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. "To be honest, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. If you are truly unwilling, you can secretly send a letter to dissolve the engagement, and I will not hold a grudge."
But you insist on being so blatant and humiliating me like this!
And then there's that bitch Li Xin, who used to pretend to be gentle, virtuous, and pitiful, but once she embarked on the path of immortality, she revealed her sharp and mean nature.
Luckily I didn't marry her, otherwise I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.
Today I am annihilating your entire Li Household so that I may use your blood to wash away all the humiliation I suffered back then.
As for Li Xin, she can't escape. Once I kill you, she'll be next.
Seeing the undisguised killing intent in his eyes, Li Zhou's last shred of hope Destruction completely.
He knew that Wusheng was delaying his execution because he wanted to repay the humiliation he had suffered years ago tenfold.
In despair, all he could do was scream hysterically:
"Don't be so smug! You're nothing but a martial arts expert; how dare you compare yourself to my daughter?"
She is now a true cultivator, possessing immense Divine Ability. She will surely find you one day and execute you by a thousand cuts, avenging my entire Li Household."
"It's a pity you won't live to see that day."
Wusheng his blade, a chilling flash of light slicing through the night, so fast that no one could react.
With a "splat," blood gushed out, and Li Zhou's roar abruptly stopped. His eyes widened, and he fell into a pool of blood, filled with endless resentment and fear.
After killing Li Zhou and confirming that no Wusheng was left alive, Wu Sheng did not linger for a moment. He went straight into the Li Household's treasury and stored all the precious medicinal herbs inside into his storage Law Treasure.
After looting the place, he turned and returned to the courtyard, where he used hand Method Formula to dispel the formation that enveloped the Li Household.
Wusheng put away the eight array flags, leaped to the sky above Ting City, and suddenly heard the cold, mechanical voice of the Slaughter System in his mind:
"Ding! Host, if you slaughter the entire city, you will gain a massive amount of Slaughter Points, which you can use to exchange for a large amount of Cultivation Resources in the System Store to improve your cultivation level."
Wusheng frowned slightly, a fleeting look of seriousness crossing his eyes before his expression returned to its usual cold indifference, but his resolve only grew stronger.
This Slaughter System is definitely not a treasure of the righteous path; it must have ulterior motives towards me, so I must be careful and wary.
"I destroyed the Chu Household and Li Household to avenge past grievances; the people of Ting City have no grudge against me."
If I were to indiscriminately slaughter people for Slaughter Points, how would I be any different from the likes of the Chu Household and Li Household?
Even worse than them!
As for Slaughter Points, I will find a way to acquire them myself, rather than indiscriminately killing innocent people.
The Slaughter System fell silent instantly.
It had never encountered a host like this before, who not only did not indulge in killing to gain Slaughter Points, but also managed to uphold its principles.
"Ding! This system has only made a suggestion; the host must decide how to proceed."
Having said that, it said no more, fearing that saying anything more would arouse Wusheng's recklessness and would be counterproductive.
Wusheng seeing this, Wu Sheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he were deep in thought:
This Slaughter System is limited by its own will and cannot force you to do things.
This gives you more room to maneuver.
Subsequently, he quietly delivered some of the wealth he obtained from the Chu Household's treasury to the homes of those who had helped him years ago.
Having done all this, Wusheng figure, transforming into a long rainbow that broke through the night and flew away from Ting City without looking back, heading straight for the distant horizon.
At this moment, inside Chen Jie's Portable Daoist Sanctum,
A furnace sat steadily in the center of the open space, with Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame surging within, and scorching waves of air sweeping in all directions, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.
He gazed at the Furnace Fire, a faint smile playing on his lips. This fire was a rare and Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame that he had specially offered a reward on the system's social platform, spending Energy Points to collect.
Previously, magma Body Tempering had yielded little result, and now, with the increasing number of competitors,
Unable to reach the top of the Combat Power Ranking while still in the Dharma Body Realm (Void Return Realm), he racked his brains day and night for ways to become stronger in order to reach new heights of power.
Not long ago, he suddenly remembered the method used by ascetic cultivators in his previous life to temper their bodies with Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame.
This method can accelerate cultivation progress, but the cultivation process is extremely painful.
However, after some consideration, he finally decided to use this method to improve his cultivation.
Subsequently, a reward for Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame was offered on the system's social media platform.
Now that Heaven-and-Earth Divergent Flame have gathered, he is eager to use them to Divergent Flame his body and break through to the Body Integration Realm (Dao Integration Realm) in the Artifact Cultivation System.
