CHAPTER 453: CH 453: THE LAST NIRVANA

Inside Alex’s Personal Space, apart from the four Storage Rings, there were still a few more treasures, all of which were priceless. They were Heavenly Spirit Stone, Stone of Tomorrow, Stone of Immortality, Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl, 1 Undying Fruit, Mirror of Myriad Worlds, Life Creation Core, 3 Red Source Crystals, and Evil Lion Blade (Tenth Blade of Hell).

Among these treasures, although Life Creation Core was priceless for almost every cultivator below the Life Creation Stage, it was useless to Alex.

Alex thought for a while and then stored the Life Creation Core inside the spatial ring containing False and True Treasures.

Then he looked at the Evil Lion Blade. This blade was extremely valuable because it was one of the Ten Blades of Hell. Each Blade of Hell was a True Treasure, and all of them originated from the same source. In other words, these blades could be combined to form an unparalleled weapon—one capable of bringing absolute destruction or unrivaled domination to an entire galaxy.

Alex looked at this blade’s information again.

-----

[Name: Evil Lion Blade (Tenth Blade of Hell).

Rank: True Weapon.

Skill: Evil Lion Slash, Evil Lion Roar, Evil Lion Descend.

Detail:

When the meteor of Heavens fell through the Burning Sky, an Evil Cultivator at the Death Domination Stage, on the verge of becoming the strongest person in the "universe" (galaxy), obtained this meteor. Then he sacrificed his lifetime’s worth of cultivation and created ten evil blades with different powers and skills.

Whenever the ten Blades of Hell come together, they could fuse into one and become the strongest weapon in the entire universe.

Unfortunately, the method to combine these blades has been lost with the disappearance of that Evil Cultivator.

Note: Find the Evil Cultivator in the Dimension of Blood Sea to obtain the method to fuse the ten Evil Blades together.]

-----

"Dimension of Blood Sea?"

Alex frowned. He had never heard of this place, but that was no surprise. After all, he hadn’t been out of the Essence Sky World for very long, and there were still many places in this galaxy he did not know about.

Then he recalled the words recorded in the information panel of the Evil Lion Blade: "A meteor of the Heavens fell through the Burning Sky."

For some reason, those words gave him a strange sense of déjà vu, though he couldn’t understand why he felt that way.

Shaking his head, Alex focused on the Evil Lion Blade again and couldn’t help but think about the Snowflake Mark he obtained from Frost Moon Emperor, and his master, Valerio Piroddi’s words. [Ref. Ch - 230.]

According to Valerio, Frost Moon Emperor was his friend and the one who entrusted him with an illusion. It was through that illusion that Alex obtained the snowflake mark, which also signifies his connection with the Frost Moon Emperor.

From Valerio, Alex learned that day that the Snowflake Mark was supposed to be obtained by the Child of the World. Since he obtained it, it means he is that person.

However, Alex knew very well that he was not the Child of the World. He obtained the snowflake mark only because he had the Replication System, which helped him increase his cultivation speed and become stronger in every aspect.

Frost Moon Emperor used to be an archenemy of the Ten Blades of Hell.

Why?

Because relying on his cultivation at Origin God Stage, Frost Moon Emperor created a sealing skill, defeated Ten Blades of Hell, and sealed them in the moon.

However, when Frost Moon Emperor died, the moon cracked, and the seal shattered. Ten Blades of Hell reappeared in the galaxy that day.

Now, as the inheritor of Snowflake Mark, Alex was supposed to seal the Ten Blades of Hell.

Why seal, not destroy?

Because, in Frost Moon Emperor’s eyes, destroying Ten Blades of Hell is impossible. He had tried many tricks but was unable to destroy these blades. In the end, he can only seal it away.

However, Alex is different. He had already made up his mind to destroy the Ten Blades of Hell; however, he would only do so after replicating them.

Since Ten Blades of Hell can be combined into a stronger weapon, why not keep it for himself?

However, Alex knew that the original Ten Blades of Hell was created by an Evil Cultivator, and he had likely left a way to control these blades. So, Alex chose to replicate them and destroy the original one. [Ref. Ch - 325.]

After all, no matter what, every replicated treasure is perfectly and one hundred percent in Alex’s control. They can never do Alex any harm.

Unfortunately, when Alex obtained the Evil Lion Blade, he was too weak to replicate a True Treasure. But now, he can.

So, Alex didn’t hesitate to replicate Evil Lion Blade. Then he threw the original Evil Lion Blade inside another storage ring. As for the replicated Evil Lion Blade, he kept it inside the Personal Space.

Finally, he shifted his attention to the Undying Fruit and 3 Red Source Crystals.

He didn’t know what other use Red Source Crystals have, but they are still important, so Alex didn’t touch them.

As for the Undying Fruit, a person can eat only one Undying Fruit in their lifetime. Eating more would do no benefit. Not to mention, Alex was already about to become a True Divinity. Undying Fruit adds growth to cultivators below True Divinity only.

Alex had already eaten one. As for this one, it can be given away.

So, Alex stored the Undying Fruit in another storage ring.

By this point, he had four storage rings filled with all kinds of treasures, and two additional storage rings, each holding only a single treasure.

Finally, only three Supreme Stones, Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl, and the Mirror of Myriad Worlds were left. Alex didn’t even think for a second before storing them inside his Personal Space. There is no way he would give these treasures away.

"It is finally time to go through Nirvana and become a True Divinity!"

Now that Alex was done sorting out all the treasures in his possession, he didn’t hesitate to act. The next second, intense pain attacked Alex all over his body.

Nirvana had begun. This time, he would go through all nirvanas at once. In other words, this time was his last Nirvana.

Pain surged through every bone, vein, and cell in his body. It felt as if he was being torn apart and reborn at the same time. His skin burned, his blood boiled, and his spirit shook violently.

Alex knew this suffering was only the beginning. More suffering has yet to come.

While Alex was going through Nirvana, he had no idea that danger was already on its way.

Far away, more than a thousand miles from the small village, a man was floating in the sky above a large city. His figure was thin, but his aura was terrifying. Beneath him, the city filled with monsters and demonic beasts was crumbling. Monsters, demonic beasts, trees, and even the buildings inside the city turned into glowing golden-red fragments before being sucked into his body.

It was as if he were a living black hole, devouring everything without end. The entire city was destroyed in less than an hour. When nothing was left but flat ground stretching for miles, the man finally stopped.

He licked his lips and let out a loud laugh. His voice shook the empty land. But then, as he thought about something, his expression soon turned sour.

"This power is still too weak."

He recalled the golden-red sphere that flew out of Viktor Dragunov. Compared to the devouring power of that sphere, his own ability was not even one-tenth as strong.

But what could he do?

That sphere did not belong to him by birth. He had acquired it, and he had not yet completely fused with it. For now, he could only use a small portion of its strength.

With a sigh, he decided to move and look for another place to devour. But suddenly, his body froze, and his eyes narrowed.

He sensed a peculiar energy fluctuation spreading faintly across the air far in the distance. This energy fluctuation was unique, powerful, and extremely rare. It actually caused the golden-red sphere inside his dantian to show attraction a little bit.

The man’s lips curled into a grin immediately as he muttered: "Interesting..."

Without another thought, his figure flashed and shot across the sky. His destination was the small village where Alex was going through Nirvana. He wanted to find the source of that peculiar energy fluctuation and devour it.

As for encountering other people, he was not worried at all. He had already faced more than three people by now and devoured them all.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he devoured, he always felt a wall blocking his path forward. He could not break through into the True Divinity Stage at all. He simply could not understand what was blocking his path forward; however, he knew it was not just him. Countless Death Domination Stage warriors have been stuck at this stage, unable to advance for some unknown reason.
