Chapter 2874 The Aura of Creation
"Actually, it's quite a good deal," Ren Tou said casually. "At least we can hold on for another month... After all, it's Jianmu."
Offering sacrifices to the divided spirit artifacts can only last for more than ten days, and can only maintain them for three months... which is equivalent to ten artifacts.
Of course, the tens of thousands of life-giving energies are also invaluable, but in any case, Jianmu's performance far exceeded everyone's expectations.
It can only be said that each of these naturally occurring wonders has its own unique characteristics, with different focuses.
"But this celestial collapse..." Bo Ping Zhenjun sighed helplessly, "is becoming increasingly rampant."
What he really wanted to say was that this celestial upheaval would probably take more than thirty years, let alone three months... and that was only because it was accelerated by human intervention.
Otherwise, it would be quite normal for it to last for three hundred or three thousand years... right?
“It is indeed rampant,” True Monarch Jiuping sighed softly, “Fortunately, we have attracted most of the Heavenly Tide.”
Since the activation of the grand formation, although the decaying aura within the realm has increased somewhat, only four sections have been damaged.
Three small ones and one medium-sized one—these were the ones that the cultivators voluntarily gave up.
In fact, this rate of loss is already quite alarming.
However, if the core area hadn't absorbed a large amount of Tianqing's hatred, the current Lianxing Boundary would have been in such a terrible state long ago.
However, the price paid by these powerful beings was enormous, far exceeding the sacrificed treasures.
Maintaining the formation alone requires a considerable number of people.
The formations calculated by many True Lords are so easy to make unattended.
However, fixed formations are ultimately rigid. To unleash the full power of a formation, the cultivator must coordinate and harmonize it.
This also maximizes the potential of the Wantianqing team.
A month later, True Monarch Wuchen still threw his whisk into the great formation...
Another six months passed, and the treasures had been almost completely distributed. From the time the heavens were artificially instigated to the present, it had been nearly two years.
Compared to hands-on practice, the experiments I did before were really child's play—those were all measured in days.
As the collapse of the sky worsened and the treasure's lifespan shortened, Qu Jianlei raised his head and looked indifferently at the Dao Stele.
Just then, a wave of decaying energy rippled, and countless wisps of dim yellow light quietly emerged and bloomed faintly.
"Endless Twilight..." The Great Witch Xiang sighed softly, raised his hand in a gesture of respect, "We invite the Ancestral Witch to descend!"
A ripple appeared at the edge of the great formation, and a gigantic figure slowly emerged, towering over 100,000 kilometers tall.
Billions of kilometers away, in a small courtyard in a spatial mezzanine, a handsome middle-aged man chuckled softly, "In the end, it's still just a projection."
The burly man with a large belly said dismissively, "The witch cannot prevent the infection. The one who died in the past was buried by the falling sky, but this one has already done it."
The handsome middle-aged man raised an eyebrow. "This is... the Ring of Heaven's Collapse?"
At the same time, within the realm, the human head asked the same question.
The illusory figure gradually solidified, revealing a gaunt person with an extremely large head and a child-like appearance.
"Greetings, Ancestor Tong," the three great shamans bowed and spoke in unison.
"Hmm," Tong Zu responded with a soft hum, paying no attention to them, his eyes first fixed on the Dao stele in the air.
After observing for a few moments, he glanced at the dim light in the core area and sighed softly.
This sound was exceptionally long and distant, containing endless sighs and a touch of melancholy.
Although Tong Zu did not deliberately release the aura of a Xuanzun, everyone else felt a slight tremor in their hearts upon hearing it.
However, that was all. Even the True Venerables were not greatly affected, let alone the True Lords.
The next moment, the Ancestral Witch raised his hand and grabbed the axe from the Great Witch Xiang's hand.
The axe grew larger in an instant and appeared in front of him.
As Tong Zu gazed at the solid axe shadow, a hint of bewilderment flashed across his large eyes.
Then he reached out and took the giant axe into his hand, carefully sensing its power.
At the same time, an endless, dim yellow light was rapidly spreading.
The entire Star Realm is being rapidly painted yellow, somewhat like a watercolor effect, but not quite...
The man's lips twitched slightly downwards, and he thought to himself that this person... was really putting on an act.
However, since he was a Xuanzun of Wuxiu, although she was somewhat dismissive, she dared not offend him casually.
"As expected... it is Kaitian, the battle partner of the Witch Ancestor!" Big-Headed Boy sighed softly.
Then he shook his enormous head. "Unfortunately, only by-products remain!"
"Senior," the Möbius strip could no longer hold back, "time is running out!"
Tong Zu didn't even look at her, and casually replied, "I know what I'm doing, I'm getting used to it... Hmm, that's strange!"
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei—he didn't need to calculate the cause and effect between Xiao Zhenzun and the axe.
"It's interesting that it ended up in your hands. Did you do this intentionally... No, these protectors are a bit suspicious."
He hesitated for three or four seconds before slowly nodding, "Not through cultivation methods—but through natural healing?"
He can sense too much information—if he wants to!
"Let it repair itself," Qu Jianlei replied after a moment's thought.
“Senior, ritual objects also possess a spirit; simply maintain respect for them… I would like to repair them manually, but I lack the ability.”
These words were spoken very politely, yet the sense of distance in the tone was undeniable.
“Witchcraft artifacts…have unique methods of repair,” Tong Zu said calmly, “but this is no longer a witchcraft artifact.”
The axe grew larger again, reaching a size of 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers, longer than Tong Zu's forearm.
Immediately afterwards, the giant axe unleashed boundless ferocity, and... a slight aura of desolation.
Qu Jianlei had experienced the latter before; it was something that the ritual artifact originally possessed. However, the fact that the ritual artifact had become so violent was somewhat difficult to understand.
"Don't panic, I won't take it from you," the Ancestral Witch said to himself. "This is the Ancestral Artifact's own choice!"
"I was just trying it out... but with such a byproduct, Wu Xiu should hurry up and find more."
Before Qu Jianlei could speak, the three great shamans unanimously declared, "We will obey the decree of the ancestral shaman!"
The three of them heard it clearly: this Heaven-Opening Weapon was not an ancestral artifact, but merely one of its secondary products.
"Subsidiary product" is a term unique to witch cultivators. It is somewhat similar to the clone of a magic weapon, but not exactly the same.
The Ancestral Witch's words meant that although this treasure was related to the creation of the world, it was only a byproduct of the cultivation system and did not belong to the witch cultivators!
However, the Creation Artifact was originally a ancestral artifact of witchcraft cultivators, but now only a byproduct of the cultivation side has appeared. So, is that enough of a slap in the face?
Witches generally don't have very good tempers, and as an ancestral witch, Tong Zu's temper is pretty much predictable.
He can speak calmly now only because he doesn't want to lose his composure in front of so many cultivators and become a laughingstock!
The three great shamans were well aware of this: so far, the shamans had not found any replicas of the ancestral artifact, which was infuriating to anyone.
"Never mind, it's not your fault," Tong Zu surprisingly said, quite agreeable.
The next moment, he swung his giant axe, cleaving through the endless twilight before him!
An endless, violent aura emanated from the axe blade, directly cleaving a thick crack in the hazy yellow light!
"If I had the ancestral artifact in my hands back then..." Big-Headed Boy sneered, "how could I possibly be no match for the mere Heavenly Decree!"
After saying that, he swung his axe again.
An immense and incomparably violent aura flew out from the axe blade, like a tangible arc of light, slashing towards the twilight once again!
That heavy, suffocating, and depressing apocalyptic atmosphere was once again easily cleaved open!
It's as easy as cutting butter with a hot knife!
"The aura of creation..." Great Witch Gou sighed softly, "Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor Tong!"
The cultivator's attempt to save the world had become a live lesson for the Ancestral Witch, which felt somewhat comical.
However, none of the cultivators present felt offended—please, that was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
Where is the Xuanzun of the human race at this moment?
It is an indisputable fact that powerful cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage of the cultivation system dare not show themselves!
Undoubtedly, this is related to the cultivation system, but since the Ancestral Witch has appeared and forcefully severed the Heavenly Ring, this cannot be washed away!
“It’s not the creation of heaven and earth!” The Great Witch Xiang slowly shook his head. “The secondary item is just a ritual object, what a pity!”
Such remarks silenced all the cultivators present.
Even Qu Jianlei couldn't utter a sound. In his hands, the ritual artifact could at most exert a combat power close to that of a True Monarch!
He could explain it as the giant axe having the upper limit of its own power, and it having nothing to do with him.
But it's true that they can provide an attack bonus to the giant axe, right?
A moment later, the giant axe had shattered the twilight sky into pieces!
However, what's really bad is that the initial bleakness that was cut open is slowly healing!
However, no one questioned it – being able to do this is already quite an achievement.
Only the old woman asked, "What do we need to do to break this endless twilight?"
She had no intention of questioning the other party, but the Great Witch Xiang found it hard to accept, "Everyone, just wait and see, this is the Ring of Heaven's Collapse!"
"However, if it weren't for... well, it wouldn't feel quite right!"
He didn't want to disrespect the ancestral artifact, but the inferior product was simply not up to standard.
If it is indeed a witch artifact exclusive to witch cultivators, a byproduct of the ancestral artifact "Opening Heaven", it should be able to destroy the heavens!
“Xiang, stop talking,” Tong Zu said, remaining calm.
He casually remarked, "I'm still getting familiar with it, so it will be easier to find other byproducts in the future."
"Fellow cultivators, please don't feel like we're taking advantage of you."
"This endless twilight can be given to me; it won't be a waste of your treasures to test your skills."
"But if there are any more Heavenly Rings after that, then it will have nothing to do with us."
"Is there really more than one Ring of Heaven's Collapse?" The onlookers were astonished.
Although Qu Zhenzun had made this claim before, now that it has been confirmed, it's... really quite torturous.
“One of the dishes is familiar, which is already good,” Big-Headed Boy said expressionlessly.
“That space destroyer from before should also be considered a Heavenly Ring. It’s normal that you couldn’t sense it because your cultivation level is too low.”
This person speaks his mind as he knows, which... could be considered the demeanor of a senior.
Is there still more calamity to come? No one around spoke anymore. Even with Xuanzun's intervention, he could only hold out this long?
In the silence, Luo Fu suddenly spoke up and asked, "Senior, do you really not want this accessory?"
