Killing God - Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Fireball
In Shen Shi’s twelve years of life, this journey to the Southern Sea Continent to cultivate was definitely the most painful period he had ever remembered.

For seven days, He had to follow the butcher into the teleportation formation at least three times a day, Sometimes, there were even more times because Butcher had made it very clear that a great sect like Lingxiao Sect had a legacy of 10,000 years. The rules were strict and numerous. Just opening the sect to accept disciples meant that they would definitely die once every five years. Moreover, disciples lucky enough to be accepted into the sect had to arrive at the designated place within the specified period of time and be led up the mountain by an Immortal Master from Lingxiao Sect. Once it was delayed, this hard-won immortal fate would be considered broken.

‘”This year is the year when the sect opens and accepts disciples. Otherwise, I don’t think you’ll be so lucky to get a place to cultivate in Lingxiao Sect. However, the date they set for the introduction is on the tenth of April. Do you think we should hurry?”

Originally, Shen Shi, who had already had a great shadow over entering the teleportation array once again, was speechless after hearing this. In the end, although he was in pain, he still clenched his teeth and nodded in agreement. He followed the butcher into the teleportation array again and again, enduring the pain of an ant devouring him that was almost unbearable at his age.

On that day, when they arrived at Blackwood City in Misty Continent, it was March 29. It was only about ten days before the Ling Xiao Sect had set a date for them to receive them. Time was already very tight, and Shen Shi could not afford to delay. However, day after day, during the entire seven days, he had suffered from three or more ant bitterness every day, which truly made him suffer unspeakably.

With his stamina, he had already reached a limit three times a day, at most four times. He was almost unable to walk. Even the butcher did not dare to force him to continue. In any case, he could barely keep up with the time. Thus, the two of them stopped and teleported all the way.

Even if this was the case, even if Shen Shi was given time to rest and recover, when Butcher and Shen Shi finally arrived at Hai Zhou through the last teleportation array seven days later, Shen Shi looked as if he was seriously ill. He looked weak and could collapse at any moment.

The butcher looked at Shen Shi’s appearance and felt somewhat worried. He hurriedly brought Shen Shi to a secluded house to settle down and let him rest for two days. Only then did the youth’s expression gradually turn a little blood red, no longer as if he was a living dead as he had just arrived.

After recovering a little, In the end, Shen Shi still remembered his apprenticeship and cultivation. He asked Butcher about the situation carefully. He knew that it was the eighth day of the fourth month, and there were still two days left before he came to Lingxiao Sect to receive them. As for the place where they were to receive them, it was a place called “Immortal Worshipping Rock”. It was just outside of Floating Cloud City in Haizhou, and they would arrive at the shore of the Vast Ocean within an hour.

After knowing this situation, Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that it was extremely difficult, and he finally struggled to this point. Thinking that in two days, perhaps he would be able to join a top cultivation family that was famous in the world, Shen Shi’s heart couldn’t help but be filled with excitement, and yearning arose in his heart.

Apart from being eager, when Shen Shi was chatting with Butcher, he inquired about the situation in Haizhou and Floating Cloud City where the two of them were. Butcher was also straightforward and could say whatever he knew. This Haizhou was one of the ninety provinces in the city of the Primordial Chaos Master Realm. In terms of land area alone, it surpassed the Yin Province and Lan Province combined. It had always been known as the “number one state in the south” of the Primordial Chaos Continent.

Haizhou was an important cultivation town in the Primordial Chaos World. It was extremely prosperous. There were many blessings in heaven and earth, and there were countless cultivation clans within its borders. The most famous of them was naturally the prestigious Ling Xiao Sect, which was ranked among the four righteous sects in the world.

Right now, Liuyun City was located on the coast of the Vast Sea. It was the largest city in Haizhou. It was huge and prosperous. In the past, there were countless cultivators like crucian carp that surpassed the river. In addition, there were nine teleportation formations located in Shanghai. They were even more beautiful. Cultivators traveling from north to south could be seen everywhere.

“Even if we look at the entire Primordial Chaos Master Realm, apart from the peerless Tianhong City, Floating Cloud City is considered to be the most prosperous place in the world.” In the end, Butcher used such a comment to conclude their location in Floating Cloud City.

The next day, on the ninth day of the fourth month, Shen Shi, who had woken up early, moved his body after getting up. He only felt that his body was light and lively. It seemed that he had almost been completely relieved from the pain of the ant devouring him, and even his spirits were much better.

The mansion where he and Butcher were currently living was on the surface a residential building. In fact, it was a private mansion secretly set up by the Divine Immortal Society in Floating Cloud City. Normally, no one would come over, but everything in the mansion was considered complete. Shen Shi casually looked around the bedroom. It didn’t take much effort to find the ink pen, ink paper, and ink stone. He hesitated for a moment before grinding the ink and picking up the brush. According to his habits over the years, he began to draw the Yin Yang Five Elements Ten Symbols on the white paper.

Ever since he fled Xilu City in panic that day, he had been like a stray dog on the road. He was in a terrified state and had neither the mood nor the conditions to persist in this habit for several years every day. Only then did Shen Shi feel a bit of peace that he hadn’t seen for a long time in Floating Cloud City.

The ink was even and light, and the handwriting was smooth and gentle. Although he hadn’t practiced for more than half a month, his habit of persisting for many years still gave him a deep instinct. The Yin and Yang runes drawn on the white paper were as complete as before, without the slightest mistake.

After writing down five pieces of white paper, he put down the brush. Shen Shi’s face revealed a satisfied expression. He let out a long sigh and rubbed his wrist. He couldn’t help but think of his father who had disappeared. However, it was useless to think too much. After sitting silently for a while, he stood up and left the room.

At this moment, the sky was already bright. In the courtyard outside the house, Butcher had already stood up and faced the sunrise. His hands were crossed and his eyes were bright. He took in and spat out a deep breath. A faint red glow appeared on his body. It was obvious that he was cultivating a Dao Art.

Shen Shi’s eyes were sharp as he looked at Butcher’s palm. Sure enough, he saw a Spirit Crystal in his right palm. Light flickered, and strands of light were continuously extracted from the crystal and absorbed into Butcher’s skin.

Because he came from the Xuanyin Sect’s outer disciples’ family and there were many Xuanyin Sect disciples on the Heavenly First Floor, Shen Shi had seen many similar scenes since he was a child. He knew that this was the spirit power cultivation that Butcher was absorbing from the spirit crystals. As for this technique, it looked completely different from what the disciples of the Dark Yin Sect used to look like when they cultivated. However, there was nothing strange about it. There were tens of thousands of Dao Arts under the heavens, all of which were strange. They were not of the same legality, and their cultivation methods were extremely different.

I wonder what the cultivation methods in the Soaring Firmament Sect will be like.

Shen Shi stood at the side and did not disturb Butcher’s cultivation. He just watched quietly like this. The butcher maintained his posture and cultivated for about a cup of tea. He then retracted his momentum and took a deep breath. The bones around his body actually made a faint sound, and his muscles lifted up. His physical body looked terrifyingly strong.

After a while, the momentum slowly dissipated. The butcher shook his neck. He looked quite comfortable after cultivating. After standing there and pondering for a moment, he seemed to be somewhat interested. He extended his right hand and grabbed with his fingers. A moment later, a low “boom” echoed in his palm and a fireball condensed out of thin air.

Shen Shi’s gaze narrowed as he stared at the fireball. An idea flashed through his mind and he whispered, “Fireball Technique …”

Ever since the war between humans and demons, the immortal dao techniques cultivated by humans had undergone tens of thousands of years of development. Now that they had reached this age, they had entered an era of extreme prosperity. There were countless divine abilities and wondrous techniques. However, based on the types of cultivation, there were only two methods in the final analysis: cultivating the divine passage technique and cultivating the Five Elements technique.

Cultivators of various divine passageway techniques were commonly referred to as cultivators. They were also the absolute mainstream in this world. The Five Elements Technique was a technique that controlled the spiritual energy of the five elements of heaven and earth. It was divided into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Using various curses through complicated techniques could be considered to be an extremely profound legacy.

However, the Five Elements Technique was too profound and complicated for most people. Just the lowest level of the First Order Five Elements Technique required far more energy to cultivate than cultivators who cultivated the ordinary divine passage technique. However, the power of the Five Elements Technique was actually a bit smaller. To mortals, A fireball technique was naturally terrifying. A single fireball was enough to burn the human body into charcoal. However, for cultivators who practiced the Dao Arts, their bodies were tough and tyrannical. A fireball that landed on their bodies could only cause a few injuries to low-level Qi Refining cultivators. If they faced a cultivator at the Origin Condensation Realm, they would almost be unable to cause any harm.

The power of the Five Elements Technique was not great, and it was difficult to cultivate. After a long time, the Five Elements Technique that had once flourished gradually weakened in the Primordial Chaos World. Now, the Five Elements Technique had become a legacy that the cultivators did not care about. It had completely become an accessory to the mainstream cultivation of the Divine Passage Technique.

Generally speaking, It was all because the cultivators had some interest in these Five Elements Spells while they were cultivating. Only then would he casually pick up a few relatively simple Five Elements Techniques to cultivate. Most of them were at the lowest level of the Qi Refining Realm, because cultivating in the Qi Refining Realm was relatively simple. Basically, only the most basic methods of absorbing spiritual energy into the body, cultivating elemental energy with solids, and cultivating all sorts of divine abilities required one to reach the Origin Condensation Realm before they could begin cultivating. Therefore, many cultivators in this realm would choose one or two Five Elements Techniques, which could also be considered a self-defense technique.

However, even so, it could not change the decline of the Five Elements Technique. Even in the distant past, the Five Elements Technique was once powerful. The power of those high-grade Five Elements Techniques was said to be incomparably powerful. However, no one had seen that scene for many years.

As for the fireball technique that Butcher Xingzhi was using, it was the lowest level of the Five Elements Technique. At the same time, it was also the most common fire-type First Grade technique. It was also known as the Five Elements Technique, Low Grade Three Curses, along with the Water-type Water Arrow Technique and Earth-type Rock Stab Technique. It was the simplest and most common Five Elements Technique.

The talismans that Shen Shi usually practiced, In fact, it was a small Dao technique specifically aimed at the Five Elements Technique. In short, all kinds of Five Elements Techniques were formed into different talisman diagrams with ten talisman patterns of the Yin Yang Five Elements. They were drawn on a special talisman paper, and then spiritual energy was injected into the talisman paper through a process commonly known as “Spirit Injection” to create a complete talisman.

As long as cultivators could learn a Five Elements Spell and use the same Spiritual Energy to control the same type of talisman, they would be able to activate a complete Spell with 20% Spiritual Energy. At the same time, their casting speed would be much faster. It could be said to save time and effort, but there were also shortcomings. The power of the spell used by the talisman would be much weaker.

It was precisely because the talisman dao that Shen Shi cultivated had a lot to do with the Five Elements Technique, so he had some understanding of the Five Elements Technique. At this moment, when he saw Butcher casting this technique, he immediately recognized it as the most common fireball technique.

The butcher seemed to have heard the commotion. In the blink of an eye, he saw Shen Shi standing on one side of the courtyard, staring fixedly at the fireball in his hand. Suddenly, his palm shook. The fireball suddenly lit up. After spinning a few times, it suddenly left the butcher’s palm and rushed towards Shen Shi with a howl.

Even from afar, a blazing heat wave had already pounced on his face. Shen Shi was dumbfounded. He stood there blankly for a moment without knowing what to do. He watched helplessly as the fireball rushed in front of him. The heat wave roasted his skin, as if it was about to burn.
