Chapter 40: Human Race Has No Great Emperor, Holy Body Fights the Sky

After coming to the Copper Furnace World, I haven’t come in to check the situation for a few days. I never thought that some changes really happened.

First, there is the medicinal garden.

At that time, all the herbs planted in Lingxu Cave had grown up, including Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, Yangyuan Fruit, and Star Flower. Each one was full of medicinal fragrance and full of vitality.

Although these herbs are very common in the spiritual world, they still have significant effects as they age.

If you pick up any one of them, you might be able to exchange it for thousands of kilograms of energy.

However, there are also some herbs that decline after reaching a certain age and stop growing, and it is obvious that their potential has been fully developed.

After all, it is just an ordinary medicinal herb. Even if it can live for tens of thousands of years, without a special adventure, it can never compare to those divine medicines that are born extraordinary, let alone the elixir of immortality and other medicinal materials transformed from the immortal corpse fruit.

Picking some herbs that were no longer growing, Jiang Ming murmured, “It seems that I need to clean up all these herbs and replace them with higher quality small medicinal herbs. The potential of magical herbs is even greater.”

Walking through the lush medicinal garden, next to it is the sacred spring pond and the Bodhi tree.

The water in the Magic Spring Pool had also changed greatly compared to before. Fairy mist was diffused over the surface of the pool, and there were some floating blocks in it. These were the crystals of the magic medicine, the purest essence of life that had been transformed from the roots of the Nine Wonderful Immortal Medicines.

The essence and energy contained therein are far more effective than ordinary divine sources.

Right now these source blocks look no bigger than eggs, but if they were replaced in equal amounts, it would take two egg-sized divine sources to be comparable to one source block.

The two Nine Wonderful Immortal Medicine Trees that took root beside the sacred spring pool are already almost the same as the original ones in the Ancient Forbidden Zone. When they were planted, the two were relatively close to each other, and now they are actually showing signs of merging into one. Perhaps next time I enter the Ancient Forbidden Zone, I can gather all nine roots and make it a complete immortal medicine.

The biggest change is the Bodhi tree.

Compared to when I first came in, the Bodhi Elixir can be described as a rebirth. Towering ancient trees stand on this black land, and the drooping branches and leaves are flowing with an inexplicable Taoist rhyme. The Bodhi flowers have also withered and turned into Bodhi seeds.

Under the ancient tree, you can hear bursts of Sanskrit sounds. There are many ethereal figures on the tree, they are like the Buddhas of ancient times.

You must know that every immortal elixir was once owned by an immortal, and there were even immortal kings among them.

The Bodhi tree is related to Buddha, and perhaps is related to the lineage of immortal monks from ancient times.

Jiang Ming looked at the Bodhi tree in front of him and murmured:

“After finishing the urgent matters, I will go back to the Bodhi tree and try to comprehend the Dharma. Although I don’t need to become a monk, it is still a good idea to learn from the secret methods to improve myself.”

After saying that, Jiang Ming once again activated the Copper Furnace Technique, added the Dao patterns of the world in the furnace to his body, and walked towards the burial ground under the pressure.

Jiang Ming, whose strength had greatly improved compared to last time, did not spend much effort and quickly arrived at the place where the bronze mirror was buried.

It was as desolate and silent as ever here, with the ground littered with fragments of objects burnt by the Supreme True Fire, except for the bronze mirror, which was only missing a corner but the surface of the mirror was intact.

I wonder if this is intentional?

Jiang Ming grasped the divine source in his hand and violently crushed it with his strength, revealing the drop of gold sealed inside with a hint of red blood.

Fresh blood broke free from the divine source, rising into the sky with a tremendous rage, with such momentum that it seemed to pierce through the sky, and the fighting spirit was high.

From this momentum, Jiang Ming felt the sorrow and indignation of the owner of the blood before his death. This drop of blood had lost its divinity, and the principles and truths contained in it had been erased by time, but the indomitable will to fight still remained and could infect his emotions.

“Fight!” A roar, filled with anger and unwillingness, came from a distant era.

But this is not the outside world. The laws of the universe emerged from the copper furnace and instantly suppressed the fighting spirit aroused by this drop of blood.

Otherwise, the overflowing evil spirit alone would be enough to destroy Jiang Ming’s body and soul.

After the drop of blood calmed down, Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and shot it into the bronze mirror, hoping that it could reflect what kind of person the owner of this drop of blood was.

Fresh blood entered the bronze mirror, and the gray mirror surface began to change after a moment. Although it was not as intense as the blood of Emperor Hengyu, it also caused the Dao patterns to vibrate, reflecting a blurry person and scene.

A burly figure stood in the desolate universe, and in front of him, there was a ghostly figure.

Although he is old and exudes the aura of decay from head to toe, he is still able to conquer the world and dominate the universe.

Wherever the black shadow passed, all living things on the earth would be devastated, no matter they were mortal cultivators or even a great sage who was crossing the star field and preparing to escape, all had their Taoist fruits and life essence taken away by the black shadow.

Finally, the owner of the blood moved.

The golden-red blood was like the sea, shaking the universe. Although he was weaker in momentum and slightly inferior in strength, he still moved.

A fist as big as a thousand feet pierced through the black curtain and rushed towards the figure.

The other person grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth.

“Hehe, you dare to come and die with your Saint Body that is not yet fully developed?!”

Now their identities were clear. Jiang Ming knew that the black shadow should be the self-destructive supreme being who launched a dark turmoil at some point in history, and the Lord of Blood was the holy body who attained enlightenment in this era.

But a fully developed holy body should be in a state of flawless red blood. However, although 90% of the blood in this holy body has turned from gold to red, it is still not perfect.

“So what? The world respects us as holy bodies, so we deserve it! You are a self-destructive clown, but a grasshopper in autumn, how long can you jump?!”

The holy body roared, the stars shook, and the two collided with each other, causing an earth-shattering battle.

In the end, the Dark Supreme, who was about to die, was forced to sublime to the extreme, wanting to recover to his peak state to kill the Holy Body.

But the Holy Body ignored the casualties, exchanged injuries for injuries, and used the Burning Life Technique to hold back the Supreme Being. In the end, the Supreme Being gave up the ultimate sublimation, and unwilling to die, he escaped back to the Taichu Ancient Mine.

After this battle, the future of this holy body was cut off, its potential was exhausted, and it could never achieve true greatness again.

Originally, after the holy body was fully developed, he could live for ten thousand years, but he only had a short life span of three thousand years! In the last period of his life, he cultivated a new generation of holy bodies and became a Taoist in front of the Taichu Ancient Mine.

This is a buried piece of ancient history. Human race has no emperor, and the holy body fights against the sky.

Jiang Ming bowed deeply to the figure, thanking him for his contribution to the human race.

Finally, the bronze mirror fell silent, and the drop of blood exhausted its final will.

Jiang Ming also gained something from watching this thrilling showdown.

“Senior of the Holy Body Secret Realm, Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist, don’t worry, Ye Fan and I will be able to clear all the forbidden areas in this life and avenge you!”
