Chapter 377: 250: Major Thunder Sound Temple, The Great Tribulation of the Human Race! (Additional update 26/53 for Silver League)
If he was unclear about his own strength, how would he face his enemies in the future?
The way of cultivation required one to be adventurous and to keep progressing courageously without fear!
At the same time, one also had to act cautiously and think thrice before deciding.
These two aspects did not conflict!
Looking at the rapidly approaching three-inch sword, it was the secret technique of the primordial spirit performed by the spiritual crane.
This secret technique was not as simple as it seemed in Jiang Yuan’s eyes.
That was because Jiang Yuan could sense that the spiritual crane’s primordial spirit was situated within the three-inch sword.
This was a very aggressive secret technique of the primordial spirit.
It was also an extremely risky one.
The primordial spirit rushes out from the spirit platform, its power is naturally terrifying!
However, it also represented the loss of the greatest protection.
Without the protection of the spiritual platform, the primordial spirit is extremely vulnerable to various damages.
The secret technique of the spiritual crane isn’t the same as the primordial spirit’s secret technique that creates an illusory environment like knife mountain or inferno.
The primordial spirit’s secret technique used by the Spiritual Crane is similar to his own, both are primarily designed for attacks.
Such a secret technique of the primordial spirit, when the primordial spirit rushes out from the spirit platform and loses its protection, becomes extremely fragile; it often might hurt the enemy a thousand, but also hurt one’s self, eight hundred!
This is a symbol of a life-and-death technique of the primordial spirit, a win is better than a failed attempt!
But it’s precisely because of this, that such secret techniques of the primordial spirit usually have very strong powers!
They could unleash a power not belong to their own level.
Once such a secret technique of the primordial spirit was launched, it represented a desperate attack!
If it failed, at worst the spirit could be harmed, at worst the spirit could be annihilated, and the body and Tao could perish.
Therefore, those who learn this kind of secret technique of the primordial spirit would not use it easily.
Jiang Yuan stood still, with his primordial spirit person holding his sword erectly in his spirit platform, quietly waiting for the spiritual crane’s primordial spirit’s secret technique to penetrate into him.
Meanwhile.
The Spiritual Crane’s primordial spirit’s sword, seemingly slow yet extremely fast, pierced through layers of voidness aiming straight at Jiang Yuan’s spirit platform located between his eyebrows.
“Die——”
A primordial spirit fluctuation filled with a strong desire to kill swept across all directions, feeling this terrifying primordial spirit fluctuation.
No one wasn’t utterly shocked!
Even Master Bo Ruo, who had condensed his primordial spirit, was greatly frightened in his heart at this moment.
His instinct told him that he couldn’t withstand this primordial spirit’s secret technique.
If he was the target, the only possibility he had was to perish and his Tao would disappear!
Other heaven’s geniuses in the Divine Bridge Realm were even more terrified in their hearts.
Even if they were only impacted by it, their divine souls also experienced surges of tearing pain, indicating that their divine souls had been slightly injured.
In an instant.
The three-inch sword entered Jiang Yuan’s forehead and killed his spirit platform.
At this moment, the spiritual crane’s primordial spirit suddenly opened its eyes and a sharp sword light erupted from his eyes.
“A six-inch primordial spirit, no wonder you are so confident. However, you have underestimated me too much!”
The spiritual crane’s cold voice echoes slowly in Jiang Yuan’s spiritual platform, suddenly transforming into a loud roar!
“Kill——”
The three-inch small sword light also instantly surged to five inches, with the vast primordial spirit waves sweeping Jiang Yuan’s spiritual platform.
The potential of breaking through the sky also increased with it, with the sword light directly pointing at Jiang Yuan’s golden primordial spirit.
Just as this happened.
The originally motionless golden primordial spirit figure slowly moved and took a step forward.
Boom——
An invisible wave swept across all directions.
The spiritual crane’s primordial spirit’s sharp eyes turned into shock instantly.
Because he felt that his secret technique of the primordial spirit suddenly became still within Jiang Yuan’s spiritual platform.
This current state was not like the illusory stillness outside, but a real stillness in the truest sense.
The so-called everything is still in the eyes of the outside world was nothing but the maximum speed of the primordial spirit.
Compared to the extreme speed of the primordial spirit, the operation of all things is equivalent to being still.
This was also where secret techniques of the primordial spirit were terrifying, unstoppable, and could only be forcefully borne!
But now it was completely different, it was genuinely still.
The five-inch small sword, from extreme speed, suddenly turned into a state of stillness, without any transitional process in between.
One moment ago, the primordial spirit’s small sword of the spiritual crane was at its fastest.
The next moment, it turned into a forbidden and immobile state, unable to move in the slightest.
Watching the primordial spirit’s small figure in Jiang Yuan holding a golden sword walking slowly towards him.
Step-by-step walking on the void.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
With each step taken, this state of being still became even more firm, making it even more impossible to break free.
Looking at the constantly approaching primordial spirit’s small figure, the spiritual crane’s expression turned more and more horrified, and then turned into boundless despair!
Because he discovered that his original body in the outside world also fall into a disconnected state.
This was a situation that should have been absolutely impossible.
Even if the primordial spirit is far away from the physical body, both can maintain almost an unhindered connection.
Mountains and rivers of millions of miles are just like a piece of paper in front of the primordial spirit and the physical body.
But at this moment, it seemed as if he was in two different worlds, completely unable to contact his physical body.
Jiang Yuan’s primordial spirit figure had already held the sword and came to the spiritual crane. He lightly waved at the sword light of the five-inch small sword ahead.
Silent!
The five-inch small sword began to crumble inch by inch from the tip of the sword.
The spiritual crane’s primordial spirit located in the middle also disintegrated into billions of fragments of the primordial spirit along with it.
This moment, seemed very slow, but it was actually very fast.
So fast that all everyone saw was everything stop moving, the spiritual crane’s three-inch small sword entered Jiang Yuan’s forehead.
They just saw Jiang Yuan’s eyes move slightly, then everything returned to normal.
The swirling dust, the falling rocks, the drifting leaves…
They all returned to their previous state.
The swirling dust swept across.
The rocks rolled down.
The leaves swayed floating in the air.
But the spiritual crane’s aura gradually dissipated, the small world collapsed, the vast energy was quickly swallowed by the secret realm.
A smile also appeared on Jiang Yuan’s face.
As expected, this secret technique of the primordial spirit was very powerful.
With one motion, it completely suppressed the spiritual crane’s primordial spirit.
It shattered his secret technique as well as his primordial spirit with little effort.
Jiang Yuan looked up at the silver wolf in the distance, and suddenly two thunderbolts shot out from his eyes.
This is the rule of thunderbolts he mastered after eating the Thunderflame Fruit and digesting it.
Rumble——
A clap of thunder.
The majestic silver wolf perished instantly, its primordial spirit shattered.
By now, all the big demons have all fallen here.
Jiang Yuan’s figure flashed, and he appeared next to the spiritual crane.
This spiritual crane isn’t big, its real size is no different from an average person. Jiang Yuan, with a joyful look on his face, put it in his pocket.
Then he teleported again and arrived next to the silver wolf on the mountain.
This silver wolf is much bigger, compressed under the space rule exercised by Jiang Yuan.
Eventually, its size reduces to a little over two meters.
Jiang Yuan once again puts the corpse of the silver wolf in his bag.
Having glance at the bodies of the four big demons in his own space, Jiang Yuan felt a thrill of joy in his heart.
This is a big harvest.
For Jiang Yuan, each of these demon saints at this cultivation level is no less than a thousand-year-old great medicine.
Especially the spiritual crane in the second level of Dharma Realm, the essence of its flesh and blood far surpasses that of regular thousand-year-old great medicine.
The bodies of these four big demons alone, once fully devoured and refined by his gluttonous belly, would be worth as much as selling more than 10 million low-level spiritual stones.
Bo Ruo looks at Jiang Yuan who appears next to him.
“No wonder benefactor Jiang said he didn’t need my help. It turns out that in front of benefactor Jiang’s primordial spirit, even the spiritual crane of the Dharma Realm couldn’t stand a single blow!”
“It seems I worried too much just now!”
Jiang Yuan chuckled, “I appreciate your kind intentions, Master!”
Bo Ruo’s countenance, however, turned solemn and he said to Jiang Yuan via voice transmission.
“Benefactor Jiang, if possible, please breakthrough Dharma Realm as soon as possible, then ascend to the Supreme Ranking!”
Jiang Yuan became serious and said in his mind.
“Could Master Bo Ruo elaborate?”
The solemn voice of Bo Ruo once again reverberated in Jiang Yuan’s ears.
“Benefactor Jiang, being from a small country like Qianyuan Kingdom, you may not know this. Nowadays, geniuses from both human and demon tribes are falling frequently. Even the older generation who have no regard for face-saving are attacking the younger generation.”
“This is a war about the race, and also a war about the main character of this era.”
“There is no bottom line in this kind of war. Even with the restraint of the ancient pact, geniuses occasionally find themselves dying unexpectedly.”
“Your performance today, benefactor Jiang, will become known to all sooner or later, regardless of whether everyone keeps their mouth shut!”
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
He knew that in this world, it is very difficult to hide a big event.
The path of cause and effect allows one to see through heavy fog and directly points to the essence of the event.
Those Saints and even Demon Saints are all holders of one or even several magic powers.
Those Demon Saints who have mastered cause and effect or the Great Dao, as long as they deduce, can see through the heavy fog and discover the truth.
Unless they choose to keep a low profile for their whole life!
Jiang Yuan also clearly understood what Bo Ruo meant.
Looking at Jiang Yuan’s thoughtful expression, Bo Ruo continued, “Your performance today, Benefactor Jiang, is surprisingly brilliant. In my opinion, you could be amongst the top twenty, or even the top ten geniuses of the human race.”
“Such geniuses will inevitably attract successions of sneak attacks!”
“So Benefactor Jiang must make it to the Supreme Ranking as quickly as possible, to gain the protection of that immortal weapon. Good luck will come if you have qi movement, and you’ll be able to turn luck around and grow safely in the future.”
Jiang Yuan nodded.
“I understand! Thank you, Master, for the information!”
Bo Ruo revealed a smile, “No need to thank me, I have one more thing to tell benefactor Jiang!”
“I am from the Minor Thunder Sound Temple, a branch of the major Thunder Sound Temple in the Eastern Region of the Northern Desert.”
“My master once said that he saw a human-demon catastrophe happening soon. In the future, the three domains of the human race will be a mass graveyard.”
“I saw skeletons everywhere, and bones like forests.”
“I saw human hair flying around like carpet, and human flesh and tendons rotting into mud and dust!”
“If this is true, in the current situation, the human race is one entity, under which there can be no survivors!”
“I look forward to the day when benefactor Jiang ascends the ranking!”
At these words, Jiang Yuan’s heart sank.
Thunder Sound Temple, even he had also heard about it.
As long as information about Buddhism is obtained, the Thunder Sound Temple is always mentioned.
There are three thousand temples in the world, all originating from Thunder Sound Temple.
Thunder Sound Temple is located in the Northern Desert, and it is the top power in the Northern Desert.
The Minor Thunder Sound Temple is the top sacred place of Buddhism in the Eastern Region.
What Bo Ruo said caused a great stir in Jiang Yuan’s heart.
Three Domains becoming a mass graveyard, skeletons everywhere, bones like forests, blood and flesh turning into mud and dust.
This represented the greatest calamity, the calamity sweeping across the Three Domains of the human race.
If so, no one can avoid this calamity!
Not even Dugu Bo!
Jiang Yuan suppressed the worry in his heart and asked Bo Ruo, “Does your master know when this future he foresaw will happen?”
“I don’t know, my master doesn’t know, even the master of the Thunder Sound Temple doesn’t know, perhaps the dean of the Holy Institute knows!”
Jiang Yuan’s eyes focused, the dean of the Holy Institute?
Dugu Bo?
Then he asked slowly, “Is it the dean of the Holy Institute, Dugu Bo?”
Bo Ruo looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise, and then slowly nodded, “Yes, it is him. I heard that the dean mastered the power of time, could review the past and the present, and could also see the evolution of the future!”
“Thank you, Master Bo Ruo for the explanation!”
Jiang Yuan quietly noted this in his heart.
When he breaks through Dharma and reports to the Holy Institute.
Ask the dean then.
I hope it doesn’t come too soon!
Jiang Yuan quietly thought, feeling a sudden sense of urgency.
He originally thought that he was about to achieve the Dharma Realm.
In Qianyuan Kingdom, if not invincible, at least he can guarantee his own safety.
Rely on the accumulation of time, upgrade qi movement.
A golden innate qi movement can be upgraded in a year and a half.
If added up, his talent will inevitably be unprecedented after a hundred years.
By then, he should be able to achieve the Saint Dao Fruit.
Will be invincible, will also be immortal.
But after hearing what Bo Ruo said, Jiang Yuan realized that things are unpredictable.
Perhaps there isn’t that much time for him to grow slowly.
His gaze fell on his personal status panel again, could this be a product of a world catastrophe?
Or am I overthinking?
He pondered for a few moments, slowly shaking his head.
There is too much missing information, this kind of speculation has no basis.
However, vaguely, Jiang Yuan could feel that there must be a reason for this status panel!
