The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe

Out of the expectation of Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, the last stroke by the Ruler of Heaven and Earth effortlessly broke the Blood River Formation. In general, the formation could not have been destroyed with a single stroke even if it cannot last for long. A sudden idea came to his mind: could it be Blood God Doppelganger had already escaped with the Map of Heaven and Earth?

The fact, however, was that Blood God Doppelganger stood in front of him after the formation broke. His cultivation was just at the Secondary Stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, probably the result of the Boomerang. To Ancestor of Heaven and Earth’s surprise, Blood God Doppelganger smiled instead of being frightened.

And where was he? Ancestor of Heaven and Earth looked around and only saw Blood Sea, which was full of Evil Spirit. He felt cold, despite his deep cultivation reaching the Late Stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. He was in Untainted Land a moment ago. How did he come here? Where was this place?

Nether Blood Sea suddenly came to his mind. In the Untainted Land exited some untraversed dangerous places. Nether Blood Sea was one of them. It was said that Nether Blood Sea was formed by blood of Pangu and gathered evil spirit from the Heaven and Earth. Therefore, it was a place of big fierce.

Untainted Land had been around for a long time. Ever since its birth, there had been creatures that never returned from Blood Sea. Several Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had even gone missing. Thereafter, Nether Blood Sea had earned its bad reputation.

Ancestor of Heaven and Earth felt a strong wave of the space just now, so he couldn’t help feeling anxious. As soon as he came to the Blood Sea, he smelled a sense of deadly crisis. "Who are you? What’s your relationship with Blood Sea? How did you bring me here?", asked he with anger to the smiling Blood God Doppelganger.

Blood God Doppelganger laughed at his questions and replied, "Since you’ll die anyway, let me satisfy your curiosity. I’m a doppelganger of Blood God, Master of Blood Sea, Ancestor Minghe. What you call Nether Blood Sea is naturally my home. As for how I brought you here, hehe..."

...

Receiving Spiritual Thoughts from Blood God Doppelganger, Ming He went to their location at his top speed. It was Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, the treasure Ming He had longed for day and night. Though he had many Primordial Spiritual Treasures, only a few were suitable for his use. As for Primordial Supreme Treasure? He had none of them.

Among all his collections, only six were most valuable treasures to him: four Primordial Spiritual Treasures of the Highest Grade (Red Lotus of Fire, Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, Book of Life and Death and Judge Pen), as well as Wuji Apricot Flag and Map of Heaven and Earth; they were all enough to make even the Sages envious. Besides, Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword were Primordial Spiritual Treasures of Top Grade, both of which was Tools of Massacre, and when combined, they had great power over Primordial Spiritual Treasures of the Highest Grade. As for Zhen Yue, Ming He completely disregarded it.

Though he owned many Spiritual Treasures, few were suitable for him. Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword were his most valuable treasures for attacking. Red Lotus of Fire had the mightiest power of defense and could also attack by releasing Red Lotus Fire. Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, Wuji Apricot Flag, and Map of Heaven and Earth had little defense power, but there were other uses for them.

Book of Life and Death and Judge Pen had great attacking power. However, Ming He dared not use them in case of damage as they belonged to Six Path of Reincarnation. Any resulting Karma was beyond what Ming He could bear.

Now, a Primordial Supreme Treasure was in his reach. Ming He couldn’t hold himself from owning it. Even the Sages would not get a Primordial Supreme Treasure, among whom only Three Pure Ones would get from Honourable Ancestor, Hongjun. If Ming He could get one, he would benefit from it a lot.

It was not far away from Blood Sea. Ming He traveled fast and spent the time it took for him to drink a few cups of tea to get there. He was relieved to find Blood God Doppelganger and Ancestor of Heaven and Earth still in a stalemate. He would have killed himself if Ancestor of Heaven and Earth escaped.

Yet Ming He did not have absolute confidence to defeat Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, for he sensed a wave of Divine Law from his rival’s attack, who must have received enlightenment from some kind of Divine Law. Seeing Ancestor of Heaven and Earth owned a Primordial Supreme Treasure, he was at least a Primordial Mazinger. He would definitely have a unique Spiritual Inheritance, so Ming He was careful not to underestimate him.

Seeing the shaking formation, Ming He thought for a while and made up his mind. With a flick of his sleeve, millions of Clones of Blood God appeared and formed a much more powerful Blood River Formation. Reciting the formula, he shouted, "Millions of the clones sacrifice; formation transmits; homeland calls, heaven and earth shakes... Move it!"

Millions of Clones of Blood God were sacrificed at the same time, elevating the power of Blood River Formation. The whole sky was covered by blood and evil spirit. Blood Sea was also rocking. Ming He dared to combine the formation for which the Clones of Blood God sacrificed with the formation guarding Blood Sea, channeling the formation for which the Clones of Blood God sacrificed through the Void into Blood Sea.

It had to be admitted that it was not only a crazy move but also a difficult one. Further, it was to transmit the formation through the Void! As soon as he returned to Blood Sea, Ming He spat a mouthful of blood arrows. The pressure in the Void was far too great. If not for his strong body, he would have been severely wounded. But this move had badly injured the roots of Blood Sea. It seemed like it would not make a full recovery for another tens of thousands of years.

The root of Blood Sea was essential to Blood River Formation, and thus its damage would surely decrease the formation’s power. Fortunately, the most powerful ones in Untainted Land were currently Sage-to-bes. The current Blood River Formation was enough to protect Ming He. The Sage-to-bes were also not likely to have any ideas about fighting him. That was why Ming He dared to pull such an insane stunt.

No pain, no gain. Ming He regarded it as a worthwhile cost to trade the Primordial Supreme Treasure. Now that he was back in Blood Sea, he was safe. Ancestor of Heaven and Earth’s desperate struggles would surely be useless.

...

Ming He showed up in front of the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, who had broken out of the formation. The Blood God Doppelganger handed Map of Heaven and Earth and Wuji Apricot Flag over to Ming He, and returned to Blood Sea to recover.

Ancestor of Heaven and Earth was alarmed at Ming He’s appearance because he was unable to see through his cultivation. Moreover, Blood Good Doppelganger said he was in another nest at this moment. He was in such terrible condition that he felt cold at the backbone. From the look of things, his rival had a deep cultivation.

Trying his best to hide his uneasiness, Ancestor of Heaven and Earth looked at Ming He and said, "You must be Fellow Taoist Ming He. I’m the Taoist Heaven and Earth. There must be some misunderstandings between us. I apologize and ask for your understanding. The Map of Heaven and Earth is my gift for you." At the moment, Ancestor of Heaven and Earth just wanted to leave as soon as possible. He had no intentions of getting his map back.

In his opinion, he was at Late Stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and he also owned Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and Ruler of Heaven and Earth. If he expended all his effort to fight Ming He, he might not lose. But he made a mistake. He did not expect Ming He to make such a great sacrifice to bring him here. How could Ming He let him go now? Ming He was well aware that a snake he let go would come and bite him back.

Ming He said without expression, "Really? It’s already mine. You want to apologize? Show your sincerity by offering the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth to me." In his mind, Ancestor of Heaven and Earth was talking nonsense. The Map of Heaven and Earth was already in his hand. What a joke to compensate a person with his own belongings.

The face of Ancestor of Heaven and Earth darkened. "It seems you don’t want things to end well. Yes, you have higher cultivation than me. But I’m afraid you’re still not capable of entrapping me." He then shouted, "Nonpolar, break the Heaven!" Cauldron and Ruler of Heaven and Earth burst into mighty power at the same time, enveloping a fleeing Ancestor of Heaven and Earth.

Ming He chuckled. "Now that you’re here, did you think you can leave? You underestimate my Blood Sea. Endless Blood Sea, block the Void!" A Blood River Formation appeared over the sea, bursting into great power and blocking the whole area. The Flying and Submerge of Ancestor of Heaven and Earth seemed to hit a barrier and bounced.

The whole Blood Sea was barricaded. Ancestor of Heaven and Earth turned deadly pale as he looked at Ming He. Grinding his teeth, he said, "Ming He, don’t you push it! If push comes to shove, I’ll just drag you down to hell with me!" Push it? If Ancestor of Heaven and Earth had not coveted his Wuji Apricot Flag, would he have angered the killer force, Ming He?

Ming He did not want to waste time speaking with him. Holding Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword in both hands, he brandished them as he said, "Blood River Formation, come to my order; Yuantu and Abi Sword, kill the immortal!" After receiving the enlightenment of the Law of Killing, he need not use any sword methods. In battles, he needed only to kill.

The power of the formation was upon Ming He and the might of Law of Killing was its peak. The aura of Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword was full of Menace Intent. With only one strike, the Heaven and Earth faded and Blood Sea rocked, far beyond what Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could bear.

As Ancestor of Heaven and Earth saw the deadly strike, he lifted Cauldron of Heaven and Earth to defend himself. However, he underestimated the power of this stroke. Cauldron of Heaven and Earth was hit away by just one strike. Meanwhile, his Original Spirit in the cauldron was damaged, leaving Ancestor of Heaven and Earth seriously injured and spitting blood. Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, however, had absorbed most of the attack.

With a single blow, Cauldron of Heaven and Earth was hit away and Ancestor of Heaven and Earth was severely injured. Ming He naturally would not miss such an opportunity to kill him. Just as Ancestor of Heaven and Earth wanted to retrieve the cauldron, it was already too late. The second strike cut him in half, leaving him to fade into bloody vapor. The ancestor was considered one of the excellent ones in Untainted Land, but due to his greed, he was reduced to ashes.
