I Am Loaded with Passive Skills-Chapter 4375 - 2030: Seed Refinement (Part 3)

He naturally believed in the whim-like premonition of the Will Path’s final-stage, but this retreat disrupted his entire plan.

"If I leave, Saint Xin will certainly find a way to break through the Life Seed."

"Afterwards, the Divine Palace of the Heavenly Law must appear, and that remains a threat."

"Once he sees through my guidance and becomes a complete coward, hiding in the Divine Palace, I simply cannot do anything to him..."

Xu Xiaoshou’s eyes welled with coldness as he made a decision, though not without feeling pained.

After all, he had never seen Bazhun’an use the Sword Worship Technique, so he couldn’t replicate it.

To truly shatter the Divine Palace of Saint Xin and prevent its use in a short time, would mean hitting it with over a thousand, even ten thousand times his current maximum combat strength.

Even a single punch from Five Deficiencies might not completely shatter the Divine Palace that Saint Xin had condensed over billions of years, destroying the perfect Dao Techniques interwoven and intertwined within.

Under such circumstances, the price he would pay was undoubtedly at a level of severe pain.

"Or perhaps, give birth to a Jin Ren?"

...

"Fortune returns to origin, reversing chaos into void!"

"Desperate alteration, Blood Demon Dao Connect!"

With a booming sound, while Xu Xiaoshou retreated at light speed, a determined voice of death spread from within the Life Seed:

"Blood Demon Reverse Fate Technique, Sacrifice!"

In response, the Blood Demon’s spectral light burst forth.

As it grazed space, the space swiftly dissolved; as it touched Dao Techniques, the techniques instantly decayed.

Even the nearby Crystal Palace rapidly dimmed, with the ancient Inscription Stele Divine Instrument Palace quickly dropping in grade, almost falling below the tenth-grade spiritual weapon threshold.

Meanwhile, the power of fate of Crystal City, and even the entire Apricot Realm, rapidly disintegrated after the technique’s sacrifice, flowing towards the blood demon specter above Saint Xin’s Life Seed.

"Not good!"

Xu Xiaoshou felt a surge of panic, clearly seeing this involved the path of fate and, like the Power of Decay, operated on a higher level.

It was something he couldn’t afford to touch!

Yet if he didn’t interfere, if he didn’t transfer it before the Life Seed was broken, the fate of the entire Apricot Realm would be polluted and swallowed by Saint Xin!

"Space Transfer."

Hurriedly, he used a technique to move the Life Seed from the Apricot Realm to the Shengshen Continent.

Xu Xiaoshou could actually see with his naked eye, the blood demon specter following the space Dao Technique, transforming into blood-colored serpents, quickly darting into his own body.

"Cough cough!"

A sense of aging and decay attacked, Xu Xiaoshou even began coughing blood, as if ill, coughing up fragments from his organs.

What’s this thing?

The power, so terrifying?

The venerable Zero Ancestral God, merely touched and now sick?

Xu Xiaoshou was hugely alarmed, frantically activating the power of Infinite Silence and transformation, attempting to extinguish the blood demon power within himself, yet finding the effect minuscule.

The concentration of power in those several blood-colored serpents completely surpassed any force within him, even his sword cognition and Power of Name.

Not only failing to transform it, the blood-colored serpents even began devouring his own power, growing at an extremely rapid pace.

"Xu Xiaoshou, be careful!"

With the Spirit Rhinoceros Technique activated, Dao Qiongcang’s heavy voice sounded:

"Blood Demon Reverse Fate Technique, if I recall correctly, sacrifices one’s own ’fate’ to forcibly gain power."

"The cost is the total loss of fate, making future cultivation nearly impossible, always at risk of sudden death via various accidents."

"However, the greater the risk, the higher the reward. Saint Xin has been made fearful by you and is evidently going mad!"

Dao Qiongcang’s voice quickened, filled with shock, even fear:

"Normally, if you executed this technique, the power gained wouldn’t even be one ten-thousandth of your own, as your path is barely three years old, this achievement nearly exhausting your own fate."

"Saint Xin, however, has billions of years of accumulated fate, plus the fate since the era of the Holy Ancestor and all great Ancestral Gods, all seized by him, one could say it gathers the destinies of several divine ancestors into one."

"His Blood Demon Reverse Fate Technique, the power exchanged is probably something even Bazhun’an couldn’t handle— my suggestion is to temporarily avoid the edge."

Boom!

In the Northern Region of the Shengshen Continent, the Life Seed exploded, being forcibly burst from within.

A figure blazing with fierce Blood Demon disaster light emerged, initially weak, but suddenly its physique healed.

A half-step raised it from the lowest to a perfect state.

With one step fallen, the power of each path of body, spirit, and will surged tenfold, hundredfold, thousandfold, and more.

Moreover, it continued to rise with time, squeezing potential through a reversal of fate, seemingly without limit.

"Threatened, Passive Points, +1."

"Watched, Passive Points, +1."

"Locked-on, Passive Points, +1."

"..."

The Information Bar had never popped up so intensely; with a single gaze from Saint Xin, Xu Xiaoshou’s heart rate accelerated.

This feeling was akin to his novice self encountering the unstoppable killers Three Incenses Red Dog, sparking a desire for death.

Not to mention birthing a Jin Ren, even summoning Wu Bao and Hua Changdeng would be to no avail.

"Flee?"

Xu Xiaoshou’s scalp tingled, fiercely contemplating within.

He could escape, but how would the Apricot Realm escape, how would the people of the Apricot Realm escape?

Even if all resided temporarily like the populations of the four major Guiding Cities within the black memory of Dao Qiongcang’s Divine Palace, if Saint Xin pursued, how would Dao Qiongcang escape?

Even stepping back to that point!

Having come this far, if he still temporarily avoided the edge, where lies my path?

The Blood Demon’s light burned fiercely, Saint Xin within was already awe-stuck, yet maintained a cold composure, murmuring as if torn between two personas:

"To force me to use the Blood Demon Reverse Fate Technique, Xu Xiaoshou, your life can be considered glorious."

Xu Xiaoshou’s expression was somber, staring intently at the figure enveloped in blood light, suddenly grinning, saying with a joking tone:

"Isn’t that wrong, Saint Xin?"

"I just started exerting effort, and you’re already saying you can’t, sacrificing your entire fate?"

"Then afterwards, you won’t progress an inch, I’ve heard you’d choke drinking water, surely not the venerable Zero Ancestral God would stumble into a cesspit and die by accident, now that would be immortalized in history, wouldn’t it~"
