Chapter 502: Power of Merit

Whether this was simply Heaven’s will or whether Xiao Shou’s luck had exploded today, he had no time to think about it.

He merely stared blankly at the black... black ball-like object that appeared before him after the radiance of the Creation Divine Ability faded.

He tentatively reached out and touched it.

The moment its cold surface came into contact with his hand, a stream of information surged into his mind.

[ Eternal Darkness ]

[ Rank: Tier 7 ]

[ A strange energy born within the void. It is a special energy particle that infects everything and spreads darkness, transforming its targets into Eternal Darkness energy. It is effective against all things. The lower the target’s level, the faster the infection, spread, and transformation. The higher the target’s level, the slower the infection, spread, and transformation. ]

[ Creator: Xiao Shou. ]

[ Owner: Xiao Shou. ]

"Huh? The information even includes the owner’s signature. An upgraded ability really is incredible!"

Xiao Shou could not help but praise it.

He immediately began considering how to use Eternal Darkness to assist Tushan Qing and Tushan Shanhe in launching an effective and deadly attack against Immortal King Chenyin.

However, just as he anxiously pondered this while holding the newly created little black ball in his hand, a voice that seemed to have existed since time immemorial suddenly entered his ears.

"Heaven’s Dao above, today I, Tushan Qing of the Terrestrial Fox Clan, shall use the terrestrial-vein sacred flame as my foundation to burn away the filth and evil of countless realms. Let the righteous live and the wicked die, and forge boundless merit!"

As this voice rang out, the void suddenly exploded in a burst of mysterious golden radiance.

Countless small spheres of various sizes and colors, sparkling like stars, appeared throughout the void.

At that moment, a pitch-black flame flew over from the distance.

Along the way, it split into countless tiny black flames, which flew through the cracks in the realm membranes opened by the mysterious golden radiance and entered the various small worlds.

At the same time, Immortal King Chenyin finally revealed his true appearance from within the golden radiance.

Several parts of his immortal armor were damaged, and several fine bloody marks appeared at the corners of his handsome eyes.

Yet unlike before, his wounds did not regenerate.

He flew over with an ugly expression and launched a powerful attack toward the ground.

"Damn it! Do you think the Heavenly Dao will respond simply because you made your request to it? Stop dreaming! Merit is not something a lowly ant like you can touch."

"Heh... You simply can’t get it because you’re jealous."

As twelve streams of sword energy attacked simultaneously, a black figure suddenly shot out from underground and rapidly flew away.

At the same time, a powerful gust of wind conveniently swept up the sand and dust from the ground, scattering it in all directions and concealing the black figure’s trail.

Only Tushan Qing’s shameless voice could be heard through the wind and sand.

Seeing this, Chenyin’s immortal power surged, and the wind and sand immediately settled, revealing Tushan Qing’s tiny body in front of him and Tushan Shanhe’s distant, tiny figure farther away.

Chenyin recalled his immortal swords. The sense of danger in his heart made him desperately want to cut the two of them down with his swords. He no longer cared about how much damage unleashing his strongest technique would cause to the lower realm.

After merging the twelve immortal swords into one, he poured immortal power into it and began preparing an immensely powerful sword technique.

"This trick has been used so many times that I’m tired of it even if you aren’t. Let me show you my true strength!"

"Who said I wasn’t tired of it? I should be the one saying it’s time for you to see my true strength."

Looking at the immortal sword hovering and fluctuating above Immortal Chenyin, Tushan Qing calmly snapped his fingers.

In the next instant, endless streams of Terrestrial Fox Black Flame flew out from the various small worlds and gathered before Tushan Qing, accumulating more and more.

At the same time, a mysterious golden vortex appeared once again within the void, countless times larger than the previous one.

It projected an incomparably thick pillar of light onto the little black fox.

By sheer coincidence, the pillar of light happened to strike just as the powerful sword technique was launched, reflecting it back.

Then a majestic consciousness spread into the minds of every cultivator.

"Descendant of the Ancient God, Tushan Qing. You have purified the filth and sins of countless realms, accumulating boundless merit. You are hereby bestowed countless merit points as a reward."

Purified countless realms?

Accumulated boundless merit?

Received countless merit points as a reward?

How had Tushan Qing accomplished all of this in that brief instant?

It had taken Xiao Shou seven entire days just to purify the demonic aura of a single Star Demon Realm. Yet Tushan Qing had purified the countless realms throughout the entire void in merely an instant.

The difference in strength was simply too exaggerated.

As Xiao Shou sensed that consciousness, he could not help thinking this in shock.

At that moment, Chenyin’s expression became savage.

He immediately charged toward Tushan Qing with everything he had, intending to seize the enormous amount of merit before Tushan Qing could absorb it.

"You’re nothing but a lowly citizen of the lower realm, yet you dare touch merit? Do you really think that possessing this merit will allow you to do anything to this King?"

The opportunity has finally come!

Seeing Immortal King Chenyin lose his composure in the face of the merit, Xiao Shou was pleasantly surprised.

This was a rare opportunity.

Taking advantage of Chenyin’s distraction, Xiao Shou hurriedly split Eternal Darkness into particles the size of ordinary void energy and controlled them to fly toward Chenyin.

Only after seeing them successfully infiltrate the immortal light protecting Chenyin did Xiao Shou finally breathe a sigh of relief.
