Chapter 711: The 9 Great Innate True Waters

The God-Demon Heaven Stele Technique originated from an inheritance Crystal Ball in the Kunlun Sacred Land. It comprised four techniques in total.

The first technique: Rupture!

The second technique: Demon Suppression!

The third technique: Rebellion!

The fourth technique: God Slaying.

This was a Divine-Demonic Level Martial Skill created by the Ancient Mountain Ancestor after observing the spiritual essence of the Ancient Divine Mountains.

Although Qin Feng was only a beginner, his Cultivation of the Five Sacred Mountains Secret Technique allowed him to quickly grasp its essence.

The first technique, Rupture, was extremely fast to learn.

However, in terms of sheer power, Qin Feng estimated he hadn’t even unleashed one percent of this first technique’s might.

Otherwise, even if he had only used one-tenth of its power, Ao Lin and the surrounding Void would have been instantly shattered into dust!

Slightly shaking his head, Qin Feng’s thoughts shifted, and a vast Void Law solidified the surrounding space.

A layer of pitch-black Profound Light erupted from the Dragon Soul’s body. In his hand, a Profound Black Alms Bowl radiated a dark brilliance that even the Void Law could not solidify.

A sliver of watery light shot out. As the black light flowed, the Void Law corroded. From the depths of the endless Void, a long, dark river seemed to emerge, charging ferociously toward Qin Feng.

‘One of the Nine Great True Waters, the Nine Nether Black Water?’ With a single glance, even the Village Chiefs in Shaoyang Stronghold felt a terrifying sensation, as if their very souls were being poisoned and turning sluggish.

Their eyes widened in horror!

To think that Innate True Water could be this terrifying!

The effect crossed the endless space, and even they were being affected!

Qin Feng’s expression changed.

He had witnessed the power of Innate True Water before. It was not something that ordinary Laws could withstand.

“Brat, you forced my hand!” Ao Lin’s Dragon Soul twisted with fury. He advanced instead of retreating. The power of the Innate True Water was too immense for him to control at his current level.

If he forced it, his True Soul would be tainted by the Nine Nether Black Water and would inevitably be annihilated!

Ao Lin’s expression was resolute. ‘I’m going to die anyway,’ he thought. ‘If I can drag this incredibly promising young expert down with me, it would be a great service to the Huai River Dragon Palace.’

BOOM!

A monstrous tide of black water roared down from the Void like a Black Sea. Wherever it passed, the surrounding space was annihilated and Primordial Qi was extinguished. Across a thousand li of mountains and rivers, everything—plants, Fierce Beasts, even rocks and the Sea of Clouds—was utterly erased, turned to nothingness by the faintest trace of its Poisonous Qi.

Qin Feng had nowhere to hide!

“Die with me!” Ao Lin’s eyes flashed with boundless, sinister venom. His gaze held a twisted, insane glee as his own Dragon Soul rapidly dissolved within the black water!

“In your dreams. It’s just a fragmented wisp of Nine Nether Black Water. Do you really think that’s enough to deal with me?”

Standing his ground, a razor-sharp smile touched Qin Feng’s lips. ‘Nine Nether Black Water… I refined a portion of it when I performed Refinement on the Son of Black Water’s True Spirit.’

It was precisely by refining that portion of Nine Nether Black Water and Black Water Essence Blood that he had managed to Reverse Inborn in one fell swoop!

In an instant, his legs transformed into a serpentine tail. Boundless Demon Qi erupted from the Demon Core within him, and an incredibly dense Black Water Law manifested around him.

With a flash in his eyes, Qin Feng transformed into a colossal black serpent nearly thirty to forty zhang long. He let out a hiss that sounded like the roar of an Ancient Celestial Dragon and opened his massive maw. Like a great whale swallowing the ocean, under the dumbfounded gazes of the Shaoyang Stronghold Village Chiefs, he inhaled the entire river formed from the Nine Nether Black Water in one go.

“You—” The expression on the Dragon Soul’s face froze, his pupils filled with horror. He only managed to get out a single syllable before Qin Feng swallowed him whole.

“What is… Village Chief Qin…”

“Did I see that right? He just swallowed the entire Nine Nether Black River in one gulp? Isn’t he afraid of his insides melting?”

“He’s completely insane!”

The faces of the various Village Chiefs were ashen.

Nine Nether Black Water was the most poisonous, most Supreme Yin substance in the world. Even a Saint King Level Law couldn’t withstand a single fragmented wisp of it; it would be utterly corroded.

And Qin Feng had just swallowed it.

Ren Changhong of Shui Xing had an extremely deep Law Comprehension of the Water Element. Staring intently at the Primordial Light Mirror, he began to see what others had missed.

“Gentlemen, you’ve all underestimated our new Village Chief Qin. His Innate Xuan Snake Body seems to have an innate mastery over a portion of the Nine Nether Black Water!”

“Ao Lin truly picked the wrong opponent this time. Not only can the Nine Nether Black Water not corrode Village Chief Qin’s Innate Xuan Snake Body, but it will instead become a nourishing tonic for him!”

Ren Changhong’s eyes held envy, but also a hint of vigilance and dread.

With the upcoming emergence of the Water Element Divine Position, someone possessing an Innate Xuan Snake Body like Qin Feng had a much greater chance of obtaining its favor than he did.

Ren Changhong had guessed correctly. That wisp of Nine Nether Black Water had indeed become a nourishing tonic for Qin Feng’s Innate Profound Serpent.

His thirty-to-forty-zhang-long serpent body grew rapidly, reaching a length of over forty-five zhang.

His Black Water Law reached a greater state of Perfection, almost advancing completely to the level of a Yang God Law.

Most importantly, Qin Feng felt that his Black Water Law, nourished by the Innate Qi Number, was just one step away from sublimating into the Nine Nether Law.

The Black Water Law was a Low-level Water Element Law.

After sublimation, it could evolve in several directions. One path was to advance into the Profound Nether Law, like the Li Black Dragon from before.

Another path was the Nine Nether Law.

The Profound Nether Law leaned toward poison.

The Nine Nether Law leaned toward the Water Element.

If he took the path of the Profound Nether Law, he could further sublimate it into the Innate Laws of Decay or Destruction.

Sublimating it even further could transform it into the most powerful Destruction Law or End Law!

By taking the path of the Nine Nether Law, he could choose to sublimate it into the Innate Water Origin Law.

Qin Feng was more inclined toward the Nine Nether Law!

The black serpent transformed back into his human form. A pure black light shone in Qin Feng’s eyes, a brilliance that seemed capable of corroding the Endless Void itself.

He glanced around. The surrounding hundreds of li had been turned into a dead land. The virulent poison contained within the Nine Nether Black Water had transformed this thousand-li region into a Forbidden Domain.

Qin Feng shook his head. Forming a hand seal, he inhaled all the lingering Poisonous Qi like a whale swallowing the sea. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he sprinkled a portion of the Water of Life, which fell like a gentle rain, bringing Creation back to the land.

When one’s Cultivation reached his Realm, one grew closer to the Dao and began to understand the workings of the Celestial Dao.

Harming living beings was not, in itself, a major issue. To Heaven and Earth, life was endless and self-renewing. However, killing created endless resentment that would cling to the perpetrator.

But to destroy the Earth Veins and create a Forbidden Domain was to incur the wrath of Heaven itself.

As the saying goes, the cycle of the Celestial Dao is inescapable; retribution is certain.

It’s not a matter of if, but when.

The more negative karma one accrued, the greater the tribulation one would face.

Of the Chaos Nine Tribulations, the first four were Elemental Tribulations, but they were followed by the Demon Tribulation. Qin Feng was not afraid, but he had no desire to create unnecessary trouble for himself.

He casually collected the Pure Water Bowl. It was an excellent Water Middle-Heaven True Artifact.

Although it only contained a single Water Undying Divine Prohibition, in terms of grade, even the Twelve Chongming Flame Beads couldn’t compare.

BUZZ!

The black water churned within the Pure Water Bowl. That small bowl contained an entire lake of Xuanming Black Water!

‘Not a bad treasure at all!’

Qin Feng put it away. With a flash, his figure shot off toward Wanhua City at high speed.

“What did you say? All five of my martial brothers’ Soul Lamps have gone out?” Within Bai Man Stronghold, Chimo, who had been waiting anxiously for news, had a face that was frighteningly pale.
