Chapter 3001 - 3002: End of Battle

Chapter 3001: Chapter 3002: End of Battle

In truth, it had been watching Xue An for a long time.

As early as when Xue An had just proven his path to become an Immortal Venerable, it had begun to pay attention to him.

Along the way, it had witnessed all of Xue An’s performances.

Although Xue An could navigate through dangers safely and instantly kill opponents stronger than himself, Shuming did not take it seriously.

It always believed that all of this was merely because it hadn’t made a move.

As long as it made its own move, no matter how powerful Xue An was, he would obediently turn into dust.

But it was only today that it realized it was wrong!

And terribly wrong.

This Xue An was frighteningly powerful.

What was assumed to be a surefire strike, it was instead taken into this cage-like heaven and earth as soon as it showed up.

And now confronted with its threat, not only was he not afraid, but he was even more excited.

How could this not terrify Shuming?

Seeing Shuming’s pupils shrink suddenly, Xue An knew he was right.

"It seems I guessed right, so... do you have anything else to say?"

At this moment, Shuming knew survival was without hope; it could only fix its one remaining eye on Xue An.

"Xue An, you won’t have a good end, I’ll be waiting for you in hell!"

Puff!

That only eye was also pierced by Xue An.

Even though its tendons were already pulled out, Shuming still trembled all over in pain.

"Hell? Sorry, beings like you don’t even qualify to go to hell, you’re only fit to be burned into nothingness!"

With those words, a spark of fire rose from Shuming’s eye socket and quickly spread inward.

In the blink of an eye, Shuming was completely engulfed by the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

It tried to struggle but couldn’t, only able to transform all its hatred into the most venomous curse.

"Xue An, I curse you to die without a grave, never to be reincarnated through eternity!"

Xue An stood upright with effort, the dancing flames casting his figure to appear very grand.

"Thanks for the words, but before I die without a grave, you have already died first!"

Shuming finally made no more sound, and it would never make a sound again.

The blazing Red Lotus Karma Fire burst forth, completely refining its body.

But some things even the Red Lotus Karma Fire couldn’t melt.

Like these two light spheres falling into Xue An’s hand.

Just holding them in his hand, Xue An could feel the surging powers of time and destiny within.

These were precisely the time and destiny laws that Shuming governed.

At this moment, regardless of who it was, they could inherit these two laws just by crushing these two light spheres.

The temptation was undoubtedly immense.

It could be said that now, just by exerting a little force, Xue An’s strength could be vastly enhanced, even to become a truly omnipotent deity.

But Xue An didn’t do that.

He merely raised them gently in front of him, carefully observing.

The light spheres were smooth and luminous, especially under Xue An’s gaze, exuding a strange and alluring glow.

It seemed to be enticing Xue An to devour them.

But Xue An didn’t do that, instead, he coldly smiled and then without hesitation stored them away.

Xue An firmly believed in one thing, and that is, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

All the shortcuts you take will eventually reflect back in your life.

Cultivation is especially so.

Admittedly, after devouring this aggregate of laws, Xue An might gain some benefits, but what he would pay would undoubtedly be more than what he would gain.

This is why he’s always been able to remain sober.

However, these two light spheres are unusable for himself, but can be given to Yang Fu.

Because Xue An is very interested in his envisioned "Main God" as well.

And the power of Light and Destiny is precisely the most important component of it.

So, Xue An collected them, and finally took a look at the internal space of The Celestial Mirror, calmly saying.

"Thank you!"

He then turned and left.

After he left, the originally calm sea surface began to ripple, as if something was responding to Xue An’s words.

.......

To be honest, when everyone saw Xue An, they were all startled.

Because at this moment, Xue An looked really miserable.

He had lost an arm, his left chest had exposed ribs, and his whole body was covered in scars.

Seeing this scene, everyone hurriedly came forward to meet him.

"How are you?"

"Quickly, take a rest first!"

Looking at these worried eyes, Xue An just shook his head and smiled.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine, haven’t I returned safely?"

"What about Shuming?" Li Lang asked impatiently.

"I’ve returned, it hasn’t. Isn’t the result obvious?" Xue An said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, even Nai Yingying couldn’t help but shudder, then looked at Xue An with considerable shock.

That was a top-tier Evil God mastering both the Time and Destiny rules!

Yet it met its end at Xue An’s hands!

Though Nai Yingying had anticipated that Xue An could achieve this, when the reality was presented, she couldn’t help but be amazed.

Shu Jingchu, however, wasn’t concerned about these; she only felt extremely distressed while observing Xue An’s wounds.

What a fierce battle this must have been to result in such injuries!

Nezha, however, burst into laughter, "Good! Good! Good!"

After saying "good" three times in a row, Nezha gave a thumbs-up to Xue An, "Indeed, worthy of a Hua Clan man, bold and mighty! Impressive!"

Xue An smiled, "Senior, you flatter me!"

"Ah, I always speak my mind, there’s no need for modesty. Here!"

Saying this, Nezha took off his arm and handed it to Xue An.

"This is...," Xue An was slightly puzzled.

"I am the reincarnation of the innate lotus root, my body can regrow flesh from bones and revive the dead. You’re seriously injured now, eating this arm can help you recover!"

"What about you?" Xue An asked.

"I’m fine, it’s just an arm, it’ll grow back in a few days!" Nezha laughed.

But Xue An knew the matter wouldn’t be that simple, the innate lotus root reincarnation was true, but that was an ancient divine artifact, there’s no way to replenish it now.

This means that if he ate an arm, Nezha would never be able to regrow it.

So, he shook his head.

"No need!"

Nezha’s eyes widened, "What? Looking down on me?"

"Of course not, it’s just that my injuries are merely superficial and will heal in no time, why waste such a treasure? Besides, I’ve been hurt, if you lose an arm too, how will we handle emergencies?"

"Let’s talk again when I really need it!"

Xue An threw the arm back.

Nezha frowned, then eventually nodded, "Alright, we’ll do as you say for now then!"

Afterward, Xue An turned his gaze toward Jian San, smiled, and said, "Long time no see!"

Jian San was slightly stunned, then brushed the hair off her ear, and said lightly, "Yes, long time no see!"

For a moment, the two of them were speechless, and this peculiar silence led others to tactfully leave.

When only Xue An and Jian San were left, Xue An straightforwardly asked.

"Something happened on Earth, didn’t it?"
