Chapter 938: Unrivaled Might!
Zhang Yuhe protected his entire body with the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation, rapidly running all the way through the vortex passage.
Countless Destruction Demon Beasts, under the suppression of the sword formation,
were uniformly reduced to ashes.
Right at this moment,
Zhang Yuhe suddenly discovered
that after these Destruction Demon Beasts died, they seemed to emit some special auras.
These special auras, without any guidance,
quietly converged into his Dantian, and then gradually integrated into Galaxy Heaven.
Zhang Yuhe concentrated to check.
Only then did he suddenly discover
that the Galaxy Heaven currently hidden within his Dantian had, imperceptibly,
already expanded by several times.
This discovery left Zhang Yuhe greatly shocked.
"Hunting Destruction Demon Beasts actually has such benefits?"
"It can accelerate the growth of a Cultivator's inner world?"
"I've never heard Qing Yangzi mention this before."
Zhang Yuhe pondered silently for a moment,
and quickly figured out the reason behind it.
Qing Yangzi didn't mention it, perhaps because he didn't know at all.
Although hunting Destruction Demon Beasts would cause special auras to flow into the Dantian,
one had to kill enough of them for it to work.
If one only hunted a small number of Destruction Demon Beasts, while there might still be benefits,
the special auras produced were simply too few.
So few that it was difficult for a Cultivator to even notice,
making it impossible to discover such a change.
To be honest,
if Zhang Yuhe hadn't been constantly paying attention to his inner world,
he probably wouldn't have noticed it anytime soon.
"Where on earth do these special auras come from?"
"Are they a natural operational rule of the Grandmist Heavenly Dao?"
"Is this a reward for Cultivators hunting Destruction Demon Beasts?"
"Is it an alternative form of savior Merit?"
While running forward rapidly, Zhang Yuhe thought silently to himself.
At this moment, his mind couldn't help but become active.
Originally, he only planned
that after rushing out of the passage, he would quickly carve out a path and leave the Abyss of Destruction as soon as possible.
Now Zhang Yuhe no longer thought that way.
Since hunting Destruction Demon Beasts also had special benefits,
wouldn't he have to sweep through the entire Destruction Abyss?
Although according to Qing Yangzi's words,
the Destruction Beasts in the Abyss of Destruction were endless.
No matter how many were killed, even more Destruction Beasts would quickly appear.
But what did that matter?
Zhang Yuhe didn't want to level the entire Destruction Abyss anyway;
he just wanted to gain a few more benefits.
Thinking of this,
Zhang Yuhe's pace of running naturally sped up a bit more.
The vortex passage was deep, long, and seemed seemingly endless.
It was unknown how much time had passed.
Suddenly,
a streak of bright light shot over from afar.
Shortly after,
Zhang Yuhe rushed out from the passage, and his vision suddenly opened up.
Looking at the vast world around him and feeling that incomparable heavy aura,
Zhang Yuhe murmured softly to himself,
"Is this Primordial Origin Heaven?"
"It truly is a boundless and endless world."
"No."
"This can no longer be called a mere world."
"This is an endlessness, an eternal limitlessness."
Although he had just stepped out of the vortex passage,
Zhang Yuhe could still clearly sense the vastness of Primordial Origin Heaven.
This was truly so vast that it had no limits.
Roar...
Just as Zhang Yuhe was still deep in thought,
waves of terrifying beast roars around him quickly snapped him back to reality.
Zhang Yuhe looked into the distance.
He saw that in the vast world around him, countless wolf-shaped minor monsters were rapidly surging towards him.
Not only were these wolf-shaped minor monsters exaggeratedly numerous,
but among them, there were also some whose auras were extremely powerful—
even stronger than Qing Yangzi's aura.
"Are these the first-rank Destruction Demon Beasts of the Half-Saint Realm?"
Looking at the few golden Destruction Beasts in the distance emitting terrifying auras from all over their bodies,
Zhang Yuhe quickly concluded
that those should be the first-rank Destruction Demon Beasts mentioned by Qing Yangzi,
whose strength was sufficient to rival a half-Saint,
invincible to anyone other than a Saint.
"Let me see
what kind of existence a Half-Saint truly is."
A fierce glint flashed through Zhang Yuhe's eyes.
He saw him wave his right hand,
and the sword formation that originally surrounded him rapidly expanded into the distance.
Boundless Sword Qi swept across all directions.
The Destruction Demon Beasts encountered along the way—
whether they were fourth or fifth rank, or second or third rank—made no difference at all.
Once the Sword Qi swept past them, they instantly transformed into wisps of special air currents,
which quietly converged into the Galaxy Heaven within his Dantian.
Zhang Yuhe urged the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation with all his might,
and the sword formation grew larger and larger,
enveloping an extremely distant range.
Right at this moment,
the golden Destruction Demon Beasts that had roared just moments ago were also pulled into the sword formation.
Roar...
Boundless Sword Qi rapidly slashed across the bodies of the golden Destruction Demon Beasts.
The vast Great Dao Rules instantly suppressed these Destruction Demon Beasts on the spot.
However, as the most powerful existences in the Abyss of Destruction,
these golden Destruction Demon Beasts were clearly incomparable to ordinary Destruction Beasts.
After several rounds of Sword Qi slashing down,
the grand sword formation was already a realm of utter desolation.
A massive amount of Destruction Demon Beasts had been instantly cleared out by Zhang Yuhe.
However, those golden Destruction Demon Beasts were still standing steadfastly within the sword formation.
"Oh, they've got some substance."
"It looks like I need to turn up the intensity for you all."
Thinking of this,
Zhang Yuhe slightly shifted his sword arts.
The grand sword formation rapidly shrank its range,
and terrifying Divine Might suppressed downwards.
Roar...
The golden Destruction Demon Beasts let out sounds of painful roars,
and soon, under the terrifying Divine Might of the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation,
they were directly crushed into smithereens.
Right at this moment,
Qing Yangzi rushed out from the passage rapidly.
He sacrificed his natal Divine Artifact and looked into the distance with vigilance.
When he saw that the surroundings were completely desolate,
and all the Destruction Demon Beasts had already been cleared out by Zhang Yuhe,
even the first-rank Destruction Beasts whose strength rivaled half-Saints had been crushed into ashes,
seeing this scene,
Qing Yangzi was completely dumbfounded.
"Is this still the Supreme Realm?"
"Even a Saint is probably nothing more than this."
He truly could not imagine
just how strong Zhang Yuhe's strength really was.
If one were to say that
under the condition of a one-on-one fight,
Zhang Yuhe could repel one or two golden Destruction Demon Beasts,
that would still be understandable.
Yet what did he see?
Under Zhang Yuhe's sword formation,
those golden Destruction Beasts, as strong as half-Saints, seemed no different from ordinary Destruction Beasts.
Zhang Yuhe killed them so effortlessly, just like that.
Qing Yangzi was not someone who hadn't seen the world.
He had also participated in that Grandmist-sweeping war back then,
and he had seen scenes of Saints making a move.
It didn't seem as effortless as Zhang Yuhe, right?
"Could he be even stronger than a Saint?"
I don't know when,
a bizarre thought suddenly arose in Qing Yangzi's heart.
He actually felt that
a Supreme Cultivator could be stronger than a Saint.
That was simply preposterous.
In the hearts of Grandmist Cultivators,
the power of a Saint was already deeply rooted.
No matter how heaven-defying a figure was, as long as they hadn't proven the Dao and become a Saint,
it was impossible to challenge the authority of a Saint.
Yet right now, Qing Yangzi saw an anomaly—
an anomaly who could challenge a Saint without even having proven the Dao.
"Such a formidable person has arrived in Grandmist Origin, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
Looking at Zhang Yuhe's unrivaled might in the distance,
Qing Yangzi muttered silently to himself in his heart.
He also didn't know
what kind of changes Zhang Yuhe's appearance would bring to Grandmist.
Hopefully, it wouldn't stir up chaos.
