Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 375 - 364: Celestial Extreme True Meaning

Upon noticing this mocking smile, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor felt a tremor in his heart, a nameless unease washing over him.

At this moment he had already made his move, leaving no possibility of retracting it.

If he forcibly retracted it, not only would he suffer a backlash from the True Essence, but Liu Yi behind him would certainly seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

Though he had half-stepped into the Unity Realm, facing a genius disciple like Liu Yi, there was no room for any mistake.

His fingers and fists formed a vicious collision, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor felt a terrifying Qi Blood Power surging along Qin An’s fist.

This terrifying Qi Blood Power was even stronger than the aura emanating from Liu Yi.

At this moment, Qin An’s mouth slightly curved upward, crazily burning his demonic knowledge.

He already had twenty pieces of demonic knowledge, and at this time burned half of them, reaching the limit of the Water and Fire Burning Blood Seal Demon Hand.

Compared to the Celestial Extreme True Meaning, a mere ten pieces of demonic knowledge seemed insignificant to Qin An.

The terrifying Qi Blood Power flowed through the fist, completely pouring into the left arm of Qin Family’s Old Ancestor.

With an incomparable force, it destroyed the flesh and blood on the left arm.

First the flesh, then the bones, and finally, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor’s left arm vanished in an instant.

"Ah—"

Qin Family’s Old Ancestor screamed wretchedly, cold sweat seeping from his forehead, staggering back to the wall’s edge, staring at Qin An in horror: "What...what kind of evil technique is this? From which sect did you learn?"

He couldn’t figure out why he was wounded under the hands of a cultivator at the Great Success of Inner God Realm.

But now reality told him that this was all true.

Now without his left arm, his strength plummeted.

Qin An withdrew his fist and stood, his expression indifferent as frost: "At your deathbed still spouting nonsense, no wonder you’ve been trapped in the Inner God Realm all your life—attack!"

As his words fell, Qin An performed the Dragon’s Roar Two-Part Shadow Step, transforming into a shadow, heading towards Qin Family’s Old Ancestor again.

On the other side, Liu Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, with True Essence surging, his injuries slightly recovered, and then joined Qin An in attacking Qin Family’s Old Ancestor’s left side.

With the loss of an arm, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor’s strength greatly diminished.

At this moment, faced with the attack of the two, his eyes showed a trace of panic.

However, he knew well that panicking now would not change the situation.

Therefore, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor thought of the most appropriate method to counterattack in this brief moment.

Qin Family’s Old Ancestor shouted aloud, circulating the True Essence within him, raising his remaining right arm, and first punching towards Qin An’s face.

The terrifying True Essence intertwined into a net, and at this moment, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor also used his strongest Secret Technique.

The True Essence covered on the fist was as sharp as a blade, even slicing through the surrounding air.

If it hit Qin An, he would probably instantly become a headless corpse.

Qin An saw the incoming fist but did not dodge, merely circulating the True Essence within him.

In the next moment, a golden phenomenon spread throughout his body, standing tall like a golden giant.

"Crack!"

A slight brittle sound was heard, and Qin Family’s Old Ancestor’s fist effortlessly shattered the golden phenomenon, getting closer and closer to Qin An.

At this time, Liu Yi’s attack also arrived, fiercely striking the back of Qin Family’s Old Ancestor.

Qin Family’s Old Ancestor spat out fresh blood, severely injured by this punch.

But he ignored it, advancing again, wanting to kill Qin An on the spot.

He knew very well, as long as Qin An was solved first, killing Liu Yi afterwards would be a cinch.

But at this moment, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor saw the smile on Qin An’s lips again, and that cold sense of crisis reappeared.

"He has another trick!"

Qin Family’s Old Ancestor couldn’t quite believe it; even if this person was a prodigy, it was impossible that there was still a strategy under such circumstances.

But the next moment, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor knew he might have been wrong.

Another terrifying Qi Blood Power came, striking from Qin An’s fist.

Qin Family’s Old Ancestor widened his eyes, the terror in his heart disappearing, replaced by unparalleled shock.

He truly did not expect that Qin An could still use such a Secret Technique.

"No—this is impossible!" Qin Family’s Old Ancestor roared hoarsely, panic consuming his face.

But reality was like an invisible big hand, fiercely hitting him in the face.

The intense pain came again, and this time, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor’s remaining right arm vanished in an instant.

Flesh and bones turned into countless fragments.

With both arms gone, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor slammed against the wall, coupled with the blow on his back from Liu Yi’s palm, causing immense pain throughout his body.

"How could this happen, this old man is a Half-Step Unity Realm!" Qin Family’s Old Ancestor shouted unwillingly: "How could I be killed by you two juniors!"

What responded to him was a sharp straight blade.

In Qin Family’s Old Ancestor’s eyes full of despair, the straight blade fiercely plunged into his chest.

Seven-Colored True Essence exploded, accompanied by attributes like gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder.

Qin Family’s Old Ancestor’s internal organs were completely shredded by Seven-Colored True Essence.

Blood flowed from Qin Family’s Old Ancestor’s mouth.

Qin Family’s Old Ancestor’s face was filled with horror.

He wanted to raise his hands to stop Qin An from pulling out the straight blade, but only then did he realize that his arms had already turned to dust.

All he could do was twist his body, wanting to struggle for a moment before death, but Qin An stamped his foot on his chest, slowly pulling out the Cold Star.

As the Cold Star was pulled out by Qin An, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor’s eyes gradually dulled.

All the breath from his body also diminished in an instant.

Qin An’s gaze remained indifferent as if he was unconcerned about everything around him.

By the time the Cold Star returned to its sheath, Qin Family’s Old Ancestor had already become a corpse, convulsing twice before becoming motionless.

At this moment, the underground cave violently shook, large amounts of rubble falling from the wall, and cracks also appearing on the ceiling rock.

Liu Yi squinted slightly, a hint of caution flashing in his eyes: "What’s happening?"

Qin An turned his head and said, "He was originally the array core, now that the array core is gone, the nurturing formation is naturally collapsing, and this underground cave is supported by the nurturing grand array, with the array collapsing, the cave will naturally cease to exist."

"Can it be stabilized?" Liu Yi asked again.

They came here originally for the Celestial Extreme True Meaning; if they couldn’t stabilize this cave, the Celestial Extreme True Meaning would probably fly away. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Now, the only thing Liu Yi can rely on is Qin An’s array formation cultivation.

Just as expected, when this question was asked, Qin An nodded affirmatively.

"Of course, just one person is needed as the array core."

Liu Yi widened her eyes: "Using a person as the array core, how does that work?"

Qin An pointed to the place where the Qian Family’s ancestor had just stood: "You just need to stand here, wait for me to retrieve the ultimate essence, and then you can come out from there. By then, it won’t matter even if the nurturing array is destroyed."

Liu Yi’s mouth twitched slightly: "Why aren’t you the one acting as the array core?"

Qin An replied without hesitation: "I’ll act as the array core, you go find the ultimate essence."

He did not refuse, directly walking towards the direction where the Qian Family’s ancestor had just stood.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yi felt frustrated and stopped Qin An.

Qin An queried, surprised: "Wasn’t it agreed that I’d be the array core, and you would hurry and find the celestial extreme true meaning?"

"I was joking with you," Liu Yi said helplessly, "I can’t let you be the array core; I’ll do the hard work myself."

She knew very well that only Qin An could find the whereabouts of the celestial extreme true meaning.

After all, this is a tomb, and only Qin An understands the array formations within tombs.

If Qin An were to act as the array core, she might not even find the ultimate essence here despite turning everything upside down.

The previous inquiry was just a subconscious question.

Qin An stopped and nodded slightly: "Go ahead."

Feeling even more helpless, Liu Yi walked to where the Qian Family’s ancestor had stood earlier and stopped.

She’s unsure why — despite being Green Luo’s high disciple and well-known within the Evil Extermination Bureau, where even Mountain Patrol Silver Generals of equal rank would follow her words unconditionally —

When it comes to Qin An, she’s like a little sidekick, without any chance to refute.

As Liu Yi stood where the Qian Family’s ancestor had been standing, she immediately sensed something unusual.

She detected immense energy merging into her body, connecting her with the underground cave, as if she were part of the array formation itself.

"Is this the mysterious aspect of being an array core?"

Liu Yi revealed an enlightened expression, feeling amazed.

Qin An ignored Liu Yi and stepped towards a certain place.

Though Liu Yi couldn’t move, it didn’t hinder her from observing Qin An; her gaze remained fixed on him.

When Qin An reached the wall, he immediately activated his seven-colored true essence.

The true essence extended from his fingertips to the wall.

The next moment, a huge array formation appeared like a three-dimensional animation in Qin’s mind.

The nurturing array was exceedingly difficult to arrange, and there was an inherent flaw in it.

The current flaw was precisely the clue Qin An needed to find the ultimate essence.

The array formation, although complex and elusive, was easy to break due to Qin An’s level thirteen Array Master profession.

It took nearly the time of a stick of incense to process.

Qin An released his hand, looking at the wall in front of him, and kicked it without hesitation.

The wall instantly opened with a loud bang, revealing a pitch-black tunnel.

Qin An turned back to look at Liu Yi: "If you encounter danger, you can come down from the array core at any time, and I will perceive it and return as quickly as possible."

Liu Yi nodded: "You go ahead, don’t forget— the ultimate essence is ours, one share each."

"I won’t forget." Qin An said no more and turned to stride towards the pitch-black tunnel.

Liu Yi watched as Qin An’s figure disappeared into the tunnel’s end, idly kicking the stones on the ground.

Quickly, silence returned to the area.

...

After stepping into the black tunnel, Qin An’s vision was temporarily impeded.

But as Qin An applied his protective body technique, golden light illuminated the surroundings clearly.

The tunnel led directly underground.

The deeper he went, the colder the atmosphere penetrated into him.

Fortunately, Qin An, knowledgeable of the array formations, experienced no abnormalities.

Until Qin An emerged from the tunnel, his vision suddenly widened.

This was a vast space, yet it contained very few items, except for two treasure chests positioned at the center.

If ordinary cultivators were to come here, upon seeing the treasure chests, they would surely be tempted to approach.

However, in Qin An’s eyes, these treasure chests weren’t so easy to claim.

Layers upon layers of array formations enveloped all around.

Taking a wrong step could lead to eternal destruction.

Fortunately, these array formations couldn’t stop Qin An.

Qin An lifted his foot and strolled towards the two treasure chests leisurely.

If someone skilled in array formations were present, they would notice that with each step Qin An took, a large amount of seven-colored true essence flowed from his legs into the ground, dispersing all the surrounding array formations.

In just a few breaths’ time, Qin An reached the two treasure chests.

The interiors of the chests were still surrounded by array formations, and if carelessly decoded wrongly, the items inside, although not instantly destroyed, would also substantially decrease.

Qin An raised his index finger, aimed at the treasure chests, and pointed in the air.

The seven-colored true essence spread like a key, extending through the invisible array formation.

After another few breaths, the array formations covering the surroundings of the treasure chests disappeared completely.

Qin An pondered, then opened one of the treasure chests. Seeing its contents, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Inside the chest were fifty demon awareness stones, each emitting immense qi blood power.

"After he achieved Inner God Realm Perfection, he could go out for a short while. Apparently, these demon awareness stones, along with the human remains within the wall, were brought back when he went out, but it works in my favor."

Qin An took out the bag he carried and wrapped up forty demon awareness stones, absorbing the remaining ten into his body.

Having completed this, Qin An’s gaze fell towards the other chest.

"This is the ultimate essence."
