Chapter 1033: Chapter 661: The Treasure Sword Broke?!
Hu Li the Immortal casually stretched out his hand, reaching for the Immortal Slaying Sword in Zhang Chen’s hand.
How strong could the backlash from a Treasure Sword be?
Even a Twelfth Tier Secret Treasure would not be easy to retaliate against him.
After all, he was an Eleventh Tier powerhouse now; what kind of treasure could even catch his attention?
But just as Hu Li the Immortal’s palm touched the sword, an extremely terrifying Innate Killing Intent erupted, invading his body.
"What a terrifying killing intent, this intent specifically targets the Essence, Qi, and Spirit of living beings, specifically targeting the three souls and seven spirits, and what’s more, it restrains all Innate Physiques, no wonder the body of the Innate Water God was destroyed by this Treasure Sword." Hu Li the Immortal’s face changed dramatically, and the next moment his entire body was dyed with a metallic luster, transforming into a platinum-colored little golden man.
He mastered the Qi of Geng Metal, which is primarily for attack and massacre, although it could not match the Innate Qi of Geng Metal, it provided some resistance against the slaughtering aura of the Immortal Slaying Sword.
A trace of Innate White Tiger bloodline flowed within him, and under the blessing of the Bloodline Power of the Innate White Tiger, although the slaughtering aura was strong, the sword had not pierced his flesh, and the invasion of killing intent was still within his range of resistance.
"No wonder a Tenth Tier deity perished instantly when struck by this sword, I never imagined it could be so powerful." Hu Li the Immortal’s voice was full of shock.
"A Treasure Sword that can slay a Tenth Tier deity with one strike, how could it be a simple item?" Zhang Chen replied from the side.
Hu Li the Immortal circulated his Divine Power inside, infusing it into the sword, and saw the killing intent of the sword flow, countless runes flickered incessantly, almost appearing different than when it was in Zhang Chen’s hand. At this moment, the full might of the Immortal Slaying Sword was unleashed, and the next moment, the sword gave a sudden slash, severing the lower leg of the Innate Water God.
"This leg is mine!" Tushan Qing’s head suddenly enlarged, turning into a blood-red mouth, devouring the severed leg in one gulp.
"Aren’t you afraid of bursting, the leg of an Innate Divine Spirit contains terrifying power, and it’s not easy to digest." Zhang Chen remarked upon seeing Tushan Qing’s mouth, which was larger than a washbasin.
Tushan Qing’s head reverted to its original form, his voice full of pride: "You don’t know this, but within me, I have refined a trace of ancestral bloodline, and I once received Mysterious inheritance. I’ve opened a space secret realm in my Divine Soul, I can place the leg inside my Divine Soul’s space secret realm to slowly digest it."
Zhang Chen, upon hearing Tushan Qing’s words, knew he had things in control and thus did not bother further, instead cautiously catching the blood spilling from the Innate Water God’s severed leg.
At this moment, Hu Li the Immortal held the Immortal Slaying Sword, continually praising: "Good sword! Good sword!"
Then, he grabbed another jar, placing it under the Innate Water God’s other leg, watching as the Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand cut through the void, severing the other leg.
Tushan Qing once again opened his mouth wide, swallowing the severed leg, while Hu Li the Immortal used a jar to catch the blood, preventing it from flowing onto the ground and being licked by Tushan Qing. He couldn’t lower himself to fight Tushan Qing for the blood by lying on the ground.
It was merely half an hour before the Innate Water God’s body ceased bleeding, and the three had collected two large jars full.
"How should we divide the blood?" Hu Li the Immortal did not rush to cut open the Innate Water God’s body, but instead asked how the two jars of blood should be divided.
"I want one jar of blood, that’s not too much, is it?" Zhang Chen stated.
He had opened the space channel, leading the three to enter the cave heaven first, then led them across the Weak Water, suppressed the array, and broke the protective barrier of the Innate Water God; it wasn’t unreasonable for him to take more.
Hence, Hu Li the Immortal nodded: "Of course, it isn’t."
Then Hu Li the Immortal added to Zhang Chen’s statement: "I’ll take one jar, that’s not too much, is it?"
As Hu Li the Immortal spoke, he looked at Tushan Qing, who stood there looking pitifully weak and helpless. What could he say in the face of Hu Li the Immortal’s request? He couldn’t say anything and could only nod in agreement.
Neither Zhang Chen nor Hu Li the Immortal could be refused; he hadn’t contributed any effort and it was already fortunate to drink a bit of the soup.
Hu Li the Immortal, seeing this, smiled with satisfaction, grabbed the jar, and drank down a jar of blood. His Qi Mechanism surged around him, but he managed to suppress it.
Zhang Chen shot a glance at Hu Li the Immortal, using the Sealing Rune to suppress the jar to prevent the Innate Qi from leaking out, then reduced the jar with the Celestial Measuring Ruler, storing it in his sleeve.
At this time, Tushan Qing ran to the wound on the Innate Water God’s severed leg, taking a few big gulps: "Speaking of which, the blood has already been divided by you, but I sip a few gulps of residual blood, drink a little of the soup, that’s not too much, right?"
Watching Tushan Qing’s nearly rogue-like action, Zhang Chen couldn’t help but feel amused and frustrated; Hu Li the Immortal couldn’t even bear to look, waving the Immortal Slaying Sword: "Step aside quickly, I am going to cleave the Innate Water God, if you don’t move, be careful that I might cut you alive."
Tushan Qing hesitated to put down the Innate Water God’s leg, then obediently stepped aside, a gleam of sentiment in his eyes: "It’s truly immensely nourishing! A lick is worth at least my five years of arduous cultivation!"
If the blood is so immensely nourishing, what unbelievable efficacy must the body have?
"If I could absorb those legs, I might be able to grow a seventh tail!" Tushan Qing’s eyes were filled with emotion.
While he was murmuring to himself, Hu Li the Immortal’s Qi Mechanism was circulating all over him, pouring vast Divine Power into the Immortal Slaying Sword, then suddenly slashing down on the Innate Water God.
"Clang~"
However, who would have thought that the next moment a change occurred. Hu Li the Immortal, wielding the Immortal Slaying Sword, fiercely slashed at the Innate Water God, and when the sword struck the head of the Innate Water God, sparks flew, and the sword broke. Part of it stayed in Hu Li the Immortal’s hand, while another part, about twenty centimeters of the sword tip, fell to the ground, making a sound as it landed.
"This..." Hu Li the Immortal stared at the broken Immortal Slaying Sword, utterly stunned, then quickly looked at Zhang Chen, wanting to explain something: "Zhang Chen... I... I... This Treasure Sword..."
Hu Li the Immortal was somewhat at a loss at this moment. Such a fine Treasure Sword was incredibly precious, and if he had to compensate, he couldn’t afford it.
Zhang Chen looked at the broken Immortal Slaying Sword, extended his hand, and picked up the sword tip. He had known for a long time that only the sword tip of the Immortal Slaying Sword was the true original sword body; the rest was merely pieced together.
The sword broke in Hu Li the Immortal’s hand simply due to unequal force distribution, because the two parts varied greatly in quality.
Zhang Chen held the sword tip and looked at the bewildered Hu Li the Immortal: "This sword was originally repaired and pieced together later, and the broken part was never sturdy."
Upon hearing Zhang Chen’s words, Hu Li the Immortal breathed a sigh of relief: "Scared me to death, I almost thought I ruined your Treasure Sword."
Zhang Chen chuckled lightly at these words, gesturing to the short sword in Hu Li the Immortal’s hand and then to his own sword tip: "The quality of the two is as far apart as Heaven and Earth, there’s simply no comparison."
"Yet the head of the Innate Water God is so hard, otherwise, it wouldn’t have broken this Treasure Sword." Hu Li the Immortal glanced at the two pieces of the broken sword, and then at the snake head of the Innate Water God. The Immortal Slaying Sword had only left a centimeter deep notch on the snake’s head.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen pondered. It was beyond doubt that the Innate Water God was a transcendent existence, and its head being specially tempered made sense.
However, the Immortal Slaying Sword was still more powerful; after all, the skull is one of the hardest bones in the human body, and the damaged Immortal Slaying Sword leaving a wound on that head proved that the sword was superior.
"Now the sword is broken, and we can’t even hack the snake’s head anymore. How should we divide this corpse next?" Hu Li the Immortal asked.
Hearing Hu Li the Immortal’s words, Zhang Chen looked at the neck of the Innate Water God: "Use this section of the sword tip at its neck. The place where its neck connects with the body isn’t protected by black scales."
Hu Li the Immortal nodded when he heard this: "That’s reasonable. Leave the next part to me."
Hu Li the Immortal took the sword tip, his fingers pinching its sides like tongs, then infused it with vast Divine Power, slashing at the connection between the snake’s head and the body of the Innate Water God. The next moment, blood sprayed out, and the snake head fell directly to the ground.
"It’s cut open!" Hu Li the Immortal was overjoyed upon seeing this.
Zhang Chen also smiled, watching Hu Li the Immortal wielding the sword tip, vertically slicing down the body of the Innate Water God. Accompanied by a large spray of blood, the body of the Innate Water God was split in half.
Tushan Qing, ignoring the mockery from the two, directly lay on the ground and licked the blood. Even though the blood of the Innate Water God was drained earlier, there was still a lot of residue in the skin tissue.
The internal organs of the Innate Water God were split open, continuously spraying out remaining blood.
"Half each!" Hu Li the Immortal looked at the body of the Innate Water God, his eyes brightening: "But now there’s an extra snake head, which is hard to divide."
"The left side has a heart, the right side doesn’t. Choose the right side and use the snake head as an addition," Zhang Chen suggested.
"Which half do you want?" Hu Li the Immortal inquired.
"The part with the snake head!" Zhang Chen replied.
Hu Li the Immortal didn’t object, but said: "Deal!"
Then Hu Li the Immortal opened his mouth, swallowing the left side of the body whole, ingesting it into his stomach.
Zhang Chen also took the Celestial Measuring Ruler and sent the half body into the Ba Snake Space.
Thus, the target of their visit to the grand tomb was achieved; the Innate Water God was divided among the three.
"With this body, I have hope of breaking through to the Twelfth Tier, stepping into that legendary realm, and advancing beyond the Great Virtuous Master in this realm," Hu Li the Immortal’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
However, Zhang Chen, hearing Hu Li the Immortal’s words, felt that breaking through to the ’Fruit’ realm wouldn’t be so simple.
