Chapter 416: Spells and Divine Powers (2)

Translator: CKtalon
I’m back.

Xu Jingming stood on the top of a desolate mountain and looked at the vast world. Although the sky was gloomy, he was in a good mood.

If I want to break through to become a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform, the most important thing is mental strength. Demon Vanquishing World is the most suitable world for honing the mind. Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the grass.

Scorching flames descended from the sun and fused into his body.

Time passed, from day to night.

!!

The fire of the sun, the moonlight of the moon, the resplendent starlight, and all kinds of stellar forces constantly surged into him, only ceasing when it was late at night.

After the transformation in reality, my mental strength has also increased greatly, allowing me to break through to the fifth realm in one go. Xu Jingming nodded slightly; this was also within his expectations. The transformation in one’s order in life improved every aspect.

And those spells and divine powers. Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the grass and studied them carefully.

He formed a hand seal and tried using it. In just an hour—

Boom!

In the dark night, five-colored lightning intertwined like a colorful divine dragon with terrifying might. It swooped down and cleaved open a 200-meter wide crater in the wilderness below, causing the nearby river water to rush in to form a new lake.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. I’ve mastered the divine power, Quint-Bolt.

The deeper one’s knowledge in Light Rays, the simpler these divine powers become. Xu Jingming also sighed with emotion. He had studied Light Rays for more than half a month after reaching Lv. 8, and his insights had increased greatly. Now, he found it much easier to study divine powers.

In an hour, he had mastered the divine power, Quint-Bolt.

Another two hours later, his Astral Divine Body reached greater mastery!

In another four hours, he reached greater mastery with Inescapable Net!

With a little effort, he gained basic mastery of Heavenly Eye and Galaxy Sand.

For someone like me who has received the Light Rays legacy, it’s indeed not difficult to cultivate divine powers to greater mastery, Xu Jingming thought. In fact, even among the Primordial Research Institute’s peripheral members, very few had received the Primordial Star Conjecture legacy. For example, there were only eight people—including Xu Jingming—in the entire Hunter Cosmic Sector.

Of these eight, even fewer had inherited the core volume.

Being a peerless genius who had obtained a core volume legacy, it was naturally extremely easy for him to learn these divine powers and spells.

According to Senior Brother Gu Shan and Senior Sister Moyu, these legacies were created by some geniuses in history, Xu Jingming thought. Truly powerful divine powers and secret techniques need me to create them myself. Because everyone’s understanding of Paramount legacies is different, a perfected technique built on one’s understanding is most suitable.

Xu Jingming also understood this. After all, the people who created the techniques were Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms.

How deep could a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform’s comprehension of Light Rays be? For example, Xu Jingming’s brain couldn’t take in the Primordial Star information he received past a certain level. Only when he became an official member and an Origin lifeform could he receive the legacy again.

Even a peerless genius could only comprehend the most suitable part of Light Rays. The other parts appeared extremely difficult.

I should use the knowledge I comprehended from Light Rays as a foundation to create a divine power that suits me, Xu Jingming thought. Of course, before creating a divine power, I have to cultivate all kinds of techniques.

I’ll learn from the experiences of the seniors in history who created techniques before creating my own divine powers. Xu Jingming smiled. Thankfully, Senior Brother Redeye gave me 32 Demon Vanquishing techniques. All of them are from the Primordial Star Conjecture lineage, so there’s no need for me to deliberately seek them out.

Senior Brother Redeye had given him a generous gift.

******

Then, he walked to the prefecture capital as he comprehended the other 31 Demon Vanquishing techniques.

With his knowledge, he could raise most of these Demon Vanquishing techniques to the level of a divine power in a moment. Xu Jingming cultivated these in order to understand the thoughts of the creators and figure out the principles behind the creation of spells and divine powers.

Hu!

A black wind descended on a village, and it condensed into a black-robed man.

When the villagers saw the black-robed man, they kneeled down in fright and kept their heads to the ground, not daring to look up.

“Master Black Wind.” Everyone trembled with fear.

“Hahaha…” The black-robed man looked at the kneeling crowd and smiled happily. “Don’t be afraid; I just need some cultivation materials. The lucky family will be this one.”

As the black-robed man spoke, he pointed at a nearby residence.

Soon, the family of four was tied up and brought to the black-robed man.

“Master Black Wind, spare us. Master Black Wind, spare us.” The four people trembled in fear.

“It’s not me who wants to capture you; it’s fate,” the black-robed man said with a smile. “I don’t know you, and I just happened to point at your family. Wouldn’t you call that a coincidence?”

“Destiny has destined you to be used for my cultivation.” The black-robed man swept his gaze across the others. “The rest of you have to thank fate—you will usher in another half a year of safety. I’ll come back in half a year.”

Huh? The black-robed man and many villagers suddenly sensed something and saw a figure in the distance.

A figure frowned as he walked. Thousands of beams of light floated around him, and these beams of light instinctively terrified the black-robed man and shocked the villagers.

Suddenly, the figure glanced at the black-robed man. “Demon?”

Shoo!

Of the thousands of light beams floating around him, a beam of light flashed past the black-robed man’s body. His demonic body began to burn as he wailed in pain. “No, no…”

With a few wails, he was burned into a wisp of intrinsic demonic aura and flew into the distant figure’s sleeve.

“Thank you, Lord Demon Vanquisher.”

“Thank you, Lord Demon Vanquisher.”

The villagers were extremely excited. Someone immediately untied the family of four. “Third Brother, your family is saved.”

Everyone kowtowed to thank the Demon Vanquisher.

The figure only took a few steps before disappearing from their vision.

“Great, Black Wind is dead.”

“Hahaha…”

“Black Wind Demon, it looks like you were fated to die today.” These villagers were excited. Black Wind—who had been terrorizing them for years—was finally dead.

…

Xu Jingming tried all kinds of divine powers and spells as he walked.

He could see the rising demonic aura from dozens of kilometers away with some aura observation techniques, so he went over and wiped out the demons in passing. With his current strength, he could wipe out the five Demon Gods with a flip of his palm.

As he walked back to the prefecture capital, he had almost tried the other 31 Demon Vanquishing techniques and divine powers. He had a deeper understanding of them and had some ideas about a divine power he was about to create.

I’m back at the prefecture capital. Xu Jingming looked at the prefecture capital in front of him.

With a whoosh, his entire body turned into a stream of starlight that streaked across the sky. In a few seconds, he arrived outside his residence.

He stood at the door and knocked gently.

The door opened.

Liu Fu looked out and saw him at a glance.

“Master is back! Master is back!” Liu Fu shouted excitedly.

A figure rushed to the door. It was the excited Wu Qi.

“Uncle Qi,” Xu Jingming greeted with a smile.

“Young Master, you’ve been out for months. I’ve been worried sick.” Wu Qi’s eyes were red.

Wu Qi had watched his young master grow up. Before his mistress died, she had instructed him to protect her son. Over the years, Wu Qi had treated protecting his young master as the most important thing in his life. He panicked when his young master was gone for a few months.

“Young Master, you have to bring me along when you go out in the future. I can take care of you in the wilderness,” Wu Qi said.

“Alright.” Xu Jingming smiled and nodded. “I’ll bring you along next time, Uncle Qi. Oh right, I’m a little hungry.”

“Sanya, prepare some food!” Wu Qi shouted and entered the residence with Xu Jingming.

In a teahouse not far from the Wu residence, some customers noticed him. “Mr. Wu is back.”

“Mr. Wu has been out for months and has killed countless demons. He’s finally back.”

When these guests saw the famous Demon Vanquisher in the prefecture capital, they were immediately excited. After all, there had been too many legends about Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming in the past few months—he had subdued multiple demons.

In the teahouse, an inconspicuous waiter glanced at the Wu residence before quietly leaving the teahouse through the back door to snitch.
