Chapter 498: Chapter 496: Pacification

Outside, the Twelfth Realm cultivator from the Chaos Divine Race kept trying to break through Su Qing’s Space.

But he was still getting nowhere.

He roared in fury, "Boy, open this Space and release the Celestial Book Saint at once!"

"Otherwise, the Chaos Divine Race will hunt you down and kill you."

A strange light appeared in his hand as he slammed a fist into the spatial barrier Su Qing had constructed.

The Space cracked slightly, but it recovered in an instant.

This old man was quite capable; at the very least, his punch had managed to breach the Space Su Qing had constructed.

One had to remember that Su Qing possessed the Returning to the Source Immortal Body. His comprehension of Space was countless times stronger than that of an ordinary Twelfth Realm cultivator.

Logically speaking, his Spatial Power should be unshakable among those in the same realm.

Yet this old man had managed to shake his Space.

’He’s got some tricks.’

’Bloodlines are a strange thing.’

’And quite strong, too.’

Su Qing glanced indifferently at the Celestial Book Saint, who was trapped in the same Space. "Don’t panic. I just want to take back what belongs to me."

"Thief, don’t you dare look at me with such resentment. Otherwise, I’ll do more than just take my things back."

Just as Su Qing was about to make his move, he saw a member of the Star Race appear inside the Space, trying to pull the Celestial Book Saint away.

This member of the Star Race was a woman, and she looked very beautiful.

She was a bit taller than Xing Zhu, standing two meters tall, and her entire body seemed to reflect the starry sky.

But Su Qing was angry now.

"The Star Race wants to get involved in this too?"

"Are you looking to die?!"

Without another word, Su Qing opened his Void Realm and, at a speed his opponent couldn’t possibly follow, instantly pulled the Star Race member into it.

The joy that had just appeared in the Celestial Book Saint’s eyes dimmed once more. His grandmother had disappeared.

In her place stood Su Qing.

"Overturning Destiny."

At that moment, Su Qing unleashed this technique.

This was an expression of Time Power.

The moment Overturning Destiny landed on the Celestial Book Saint,

he reacted as if poisoned by Time itself, his own timeline rapidly reversing.

Soon,

countless things were separated from him.

Along with a much weaker version of the Celestial Book Saint himself.

[Rebirth Radiant Lotus: A Tenth Realm Great Medicine for Body Shaping and Soul Cleansing. Nurtured with the flesh and souls of thousands of living beings and born from pure, beautiful wishes. It reshapes the present life with a past life. Consuming it offers a high probability of obtaining the Cause and Effect Dao Path.]

[Synthesizable]

Seeing this, Su Qing took back his Rebirth Radiant Lotus.

The surrounding Space returned to normal.

The original Twelfth Realm Cultivator, seeing the barrier was gone, unleashed his punch, which instantly arrived before Su Qing.

This killing blow contained the power of the Destiny Dao Path and the Devouring Dao Path.

It also held the power of the Chaos Dao Path.

These powers were fused into a single punch.

And their application was especially perfect.

An ordinary Twelfth Realm cultivator would likely not dare to face it.

But clearly,

the speed of this punch was like a turtle’s crawl in Su Qing’s eyes.

He was, after all, a wielder of Time Power.

He simply raised his hand.

His palm enveloped the fist.

BOOM—

But a world-shaking sound echoed all around.

"I can’t move." The old man’s eyes sharpened. A type of flame appeared within his fist, trying to devour Su Qing.

But it was all devoured by Su Qing instead.

"The Seed of Chaos."

"Is that all?" Su Qing chuckled softly.

His palm was completely unscathed. With a light squeeze, his opponent’s fist instantly shattered, and the destruction rapidly spread up his arm, inch by inch.

He severed his arm.

The old man had decisively broken off his own arm.

This was his way of negating Su Qing’s force.

Then, he regenerated a new arm.

An expert’s touch is unmistakable.

After just two moves, the old man was so frightened that he retreated all the way to the entrance of the Clumsy Head Palace.

He stared at Su Qing with a wary expression.

The "old man" wasn’t actually old; in fact, he looked quite young. It was only because his hair was completely white that Su Qing had referred to him that way.

"I am Tian Caiseng, a disciple of Tongwang Palace."

"May I ask your name, sir?"

"Su Qing, of the Taichu Daoist Palace."

"I had no intention of making an enemy of you, but if you continue to be unreasonable..."

"I’m afraid... you will suffer karmic annihilation," Su Qing said lightly, his tone incredibly calm.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Book Saint had already taken the treasures he had previously obtained and quickly fled into the Clumsy Head Palace.

He was terrified of this Twelfth Realm Cultivator. He never imagined that something he had already consumed...

could be taken away from him just like that.

Such a Great Divine Technique was simply too terrifying.

"It was all a misunderstanding. I was not aware that my great-great-grandson had taken your treasure. Please forgive me."

"A simple ’I didn’t know’ won’t make up for this mistake."

"Tian Caiseng, you will compensate me for my losses. And you will also provide a bargaining chip for a certain member of the Star Race."

"That Star Race member who just appeared... she’s with you, isn’t she?"

"If you don’t produce something that satisfies me, you can forget about ever seeing her again."

"I’ll give you one moment to think and produce something worthy of an exchange."

"Two items. One as compensation for disturbing my peace, and one to trade for the member of the Star Race."

When Tian Caiseng heard this, he cursed inwardly.

’What was my great-granddaughter-in-law thinking, showing up like that?’

’Now I have to cough up another tribute.’

’But she’s a member of the Star Race. How could she have been captured?’

’It’s almost impossible to imagine what happened.’

He had only seen his great-granddaughter-in-law disappear and had assumed she’d fled. He never expected her to be captured so easily.

For the moment, Tian Caiseng had no choice but to comply.

Then, a vibrant drop of blood appeared in his hand.

It contained a violent, tyrannical power.

"Sir, this is a Twelfth Realm Chaos Blood Seed from my clan."

"Will this suffice as compensation?"

[Chaos Blood Seed: Contains the power of Chaos. A complete fusion of power gathered within a bloodline, forming the Chaos Blood Seed. Due to its unstable nature, one must suppress the tyrannical power within during refinement to obtain the Chaos Blood Seed’s bloodline.]

[Synthesizable]

Su Qing glanced at it and immediately shook his head.

"Not enough. To earn my forgiveness and rescue that member of the Star Race, you’ll need at least three of these Chaos Blood Seeds."

"You..." Tian Caiseng wanted to erupt in anger.

’Isn’t this just extortion?’ A Chaos Blood Seed from a deceased Twelfth Realm expert wasn’t something you could just find lying around.

"I only have one Blood Seed, but I have something else."

His opponent endured the heartache and took out another item.

It was a stone.

The stone looked like black glazed glass.

"This is a Top Grade treasure for Artifact Refining. It’s indispensable even for refining a Thirteenth Realm Dao Artifact."

[Eternal Jade: A stone containing a trace of the Eternal Rule. Extremely difficult to refine.]

[Synthesizable]

Another item infused with a Rule.

Last time it was Ash-Burning Dust, and this time it’s Eternal Jade.

Both are items of the Eternal Rule.

The stone was about the size of an ordinary person’s fist. ’Not bad.’

"Mm, acceptable."

"Hand them over first," Su Qing said to Tian Caiseng.

Tian Caiseng paused.

But he still handed them over, feeling utterly humiliated.

Because he was simply no match for him.

Two exchanges were enough to show him that there were enormous disparities even among those in the Twelfth Realm.

Tian Caiseng could only choose to de-escalate the situation amicably.

Because this Su Qing before him...

hadn’t even used much of his power.

It seemed he had barely used any Magic at all.

And he was using the Cultivation methods of the Immortal Palaces from the Eastern Domain.

He definitely had many techniques at his disposal, yet he could suppress him without even using them.

Tian Caiseng didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if his opponent went all out.

’I’ll have to investigate him thoroughly after this.’

After receiving the two items,

Su Qing stored them in his Micro Acupoint World and nodded in satisfaction.

With a flicker, the figure of a Star Race woman appeared nearby.

The moment she was out, she teleported to Tian Caiseng’s side.

"Thank you, Grand-sire."

"Sigh..."

"It’s alright." Tian Caiseng sighed. He hadn’t thought that Meng Ye, a member of the Star Race, could actually be captured.

Even he, a Twelfth Realm cultivator, didn’t have the ability to deal with the Star Race.

’Truly terrifying.’
