As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1430
Chapter 1430 Potential
“Xiao Meng’er?”
Xiao Chen searched along the traces of his aura, but Xiao Meng’er had hidden her aura too deeply. Even if his divine sense was sharp, it would be difficult for him to accurately grasp the other party’s trajectory.
For some reason, there was always a bad premonition in his heart. If Xiao Meng’er escaped, how could she avoid him all the way and not let him discover her?
Xiao Chen took out a jade slip from his sleeve. Not only was the jade slip covered with cracks and dim light, but even the remaining trace of spiritual energy had disappeared. What did this mean?
“She crushed her jade note …”
Xiao Chen frowned. Why did Xiao Meng’er crush her jade note? Was it to cover his tracks, or was it to prevent him from finding her …
“I’m afraid that little girl is not simple … but brat, you don’t need to worry too much. Since she can escape from the hands of Old Duanmu Xie, she must have extraordinary abilities.”
Right at this moment, the Bone Demon’s voice suddenly rang in his mind. Xiao Chen frowned. In fact, what he was most worried about now was not the Heavenly Domain Master, but Xiao Meng’er herself.
Last night, in Duanmu Xie’s cave, those people’s deaths were too terrifying. This was definitely not Xiao Meng’er’s doing. Furthermore, there was actually some residual demonic energy in that hall. Perhaps ordinary people could not feel it, but how could he not feel it? That was demonic energy.
But how could Xiao Meng’er have demonic energy? This is absolutely impossible … unless there is something wrong with the entire Xiao Clan or the Immortal Qiong Sect.
He had to continue searching and find Xiao Meng’er as soon as possible. This time, Xiao Meng’er came with him and was also searching for clues about the ancient lotus. He must not let anything happen to the other party.
However, now that he was in the “Heaven Domain”, he was a little afraid of the mysterious “Lord of the Heaven Domain”, so he didn’t dare to reveal his divine sense rashly. Otherwise, once he attracted the attention of the other party, things would become even more troublesome.
After searching for a few dozen miles, Xiao Chen arrived at the top of a valley after an incense stick. He saw that the flowers, plants, and trees on the nearby mountains had been destroyed, and there was a faint smell of blood beneath the valley.
“Looks like she’s been here before.”
The Bone Demon’s voice rang out in his mind. Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate and flew down the valley in an instant.
When they landed below, they saw dozens of broken corpses lying in the rubble. Among them were four men’s corpses. They looked the most terrifying. There was a big hole in their chests. The Nascent Soul had been crushed by life, and their souls must have been unable to escape.
“This …”
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but be slightly shocked. If someone from the Devil Dao were to make such a terrifying move, it wouldn’t be surprising. However, Xiao Meng’er’s killing methods would definitely not be so terrifying.
But at this moment, these people were similar to the deaths of those people in Duanmu Xie Cave. If she hadn’t killed them, then who had done it?
“Looks like she killed all these people.”
The Bone Demon suddenly appeared beside Xiao Chen. He squatted down and examined the four corpses. He said, “Good method. The four of them had at least eight levels of cultivation, but they all died at her hands. Furthermore, look at the four of them. Their Nascent Souls were crushed. It means that they didn’t have any strength to struggle when they died. Even their primordial spirits were crushed …”
“It’s really her …”
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown deeply. Looking at the flowers and plants around him, there seemed to be traces of demonic energy. Ordinary people couldn’t detect it, but he was especially sensitive to demonic energy. How could he not notice it?
However, Xiao Meng’er’s cultivation was not inferior to Junior Sister’s. Her Dao Heart was so deep that no one could shake it. How could there be devil qi on her body? Moreover, even he felt that this method of killing was too cruel. It didn’t seem like Xiao Meng’er had done it at all.
The Bone Demon slowly stood up and said, “If my guess is correct, she must have cultivated a certain type of Primordial Taboo Profound Technique …”
“Primordial Taboo Mysterious Technique?” Xiao Chen’s eyebrows narrowed as he looked at the surrounding corpses. Could it be that it was even more powerful than the Heavenly Book he cultivated?
The Bone Demon slowly said, “Little brat, in fact, you didn’t notice that the restrictions on the heavens and earth within this ancient mark have gradually become smaller. This was originally a broken world, transcending the three worlds of heaven, earth and man …”
At this point, he turned around and looked at Xiao Chen. “You and that girl are both people with limitless potential. In this ancient mark, you can maximize your potential as much as possible, instead of being restricted by the Laws of Heaven and Earth everywhere. That’s why she was able to use forbidden methods to kill these Eight Realms cultivators.”
Hearing what he said, Xiao Chen vaguely understood a bit. The Bone Demon continued, “Actually, everyone’s potential is only one-tenth or two. They are bound by the invisible laws of heaven and earth. If they unleash one-tenth of their potential, they will definitely be existences that surpass the heavens and earth. How can the heavens and earth surpass all living beings?”
At this point, The Bone Demon stopped. Standing with his hands behind his back, Looking at the rising sun in the valley, he said, “In the Primeval Era, there were people who tried to break this restriction, but they were all destroyed by the heavens and the earth … There were also people who created all sorts of divine abilities and tried to go against the heavens, but in the end, all of them failed. Under the restriction, their bodies and spirits were destroyed, and it was undoubtedly impossible for them to attempt to shake the heavens.”
Hearing him say this, Xiao Chen’s eyebrows gradually furrowed. Looking at the corpses on the ground, he recalled Duanmu Xie’s frightened appearance last night. He frowned and said, “You mean, she cultivated some kind of primordial taboo technique to maximize her potential?”
“It’s possible.”
The Bone Demon nodded and said, “If my guess is correct, then the most terrifying thing about the Ancient Forbidden Technique is not the various peerless divine abilities recorded in it, but the ability to unleash a person’s potential to the extent that it can defy the heavens. If that’s the case, then the person who created this technique must be a forbidden existence that cannot be tolerated by the heavens and the earth …”
Xiao Chen had never heard of “potential” before. Only today did he feel refreshed after hearing the Bone Demon’s words. He asked, “Is that possible? Is it possible for him to unleash 100% of his potential?”
“Impossible.”
Bone Demon shook his head. “As I said, The potential of a human is limitless, but it is restricted by the laws of heaven and earth. Once it reaches 100%, it will be an existence that surpasses the heavens and earth. You have to know, no matter how strong your physical body is, it is impossible for it to withstand 100% of the potential. When it reaches 100%, it will have already surpassed the heavens and earth. It will change from’visible ‘to’invisible’ … Just like this world, do you think this world is tangible or intangible? ”
After hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but sink into deep thought. Could it be that Xiao Meng’er really cultivated such a forbidden profound art? As for the book, what about the complete book …
“Are you saying that even Dugu Xia’s Fiendgod Body can’t withstand 100% of its potential?”
“Haha!”
Hearing his question, Bone Demon raised his head and smiled. It was as if he was laughing at his ignorance, “Kid, it seems like you still don’t understand. The words I said to you just now, Dugu Tian, may have already stepped into an unrivalled realm ten thousand years ago, but compared to this world, he is only a speck of dust. And with a 100% potential, he is an existence that surpasses the heavens and earth. Do you think the two are comparable?”
“I know.”
This time, Xiao Chen finally understood that although the potential of humans was limitless, they were bound by the Laws of Heaven and Earth. No one could develop 100% of their potential. That would be an existence that surpassed the heavens and earth, and an existence that surpassed the heavens and earth would also be an existence that did not exist.
The Bone Demon said, “In short, in this ancient scar, you and that girl’s potential can be unleashed infinitely. To you, an Eight Realms cultivator is no longer a problem here, but … don’t underestimate this shattered world.”
“En …”
Xiao Chen nodded. Next, he needed to find Xiao Meng’er as soon as possible. Xiao Meng’er might have already cultivated some sort of ancient forbidden profound art. Since it was the word “forbidden”, then it was definitely not an ordinary thing. If he allowed her to continue, something big would definitely happen.
Right at this moment, a strand of aura suddenly came from outside the valley. The Bone Demon’s expression froze, “Someone is coming, kid, I’ll go back to the universe in my sleeve first.” After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.
Xiao Chen wanted to leave, but in the end, he was a step too slow. That aura came too quickly, and he was unable to unleash his movement technique at all.
Not far away, there was already a figure standing there. That person was wearing a red battle robe, and there was a profound fire mark on his face. His eyes were deep and cold. It was none other than the Exalted Envoy of the Profound Fire who had just been to Duanmu Xie’s place yesterday.
