Chapter 1920 Young friend, I'll give you one more chance!
therefore!
Shark Minghong noticed something amiss...
Cheng Buzheng had anticipated this, so he simply nodded slightly and spoke calmly, tacitly acknowledging the other party's guess:
"Your insight is exceptional; nothing can be hidden from you."
Then, as if he had thought of something, Sha Minghong's eyes narrowed slightly.
His tone became more serious as he continued to ask:
"I presume you've already discerned my true origins?"
The black-gold mist around him rippled slightly, and an aura of pressure belonging to the progenitor of the Purgatory Clan was quietly released.
Although not specifically targeted, it did calm the surrounding gale a bit.
Upon hearing this,
Cheng Buzheng, without the slightest hesitation, slowly nodded, his expression respectful yet not humble, and said:
"good!
The elder's supernatural powers and techniques carried the ferocious power of purgatory, just like the Purgatory Clan.
"I naturally guessed your true identity, senior."
He paused, then added, his tone filled with genuine admiration:
"I have great respect for your methods, senior."
As he spoke, Cheng Buzheng raised his hand and clasped his hands in a fist salute, bowing slightly to Sha Minghong with a proper and measured demeanor.
this moment,
The tense standoff between the two vanished instantly, replaced by a relaxed atmosphere of old friends chatting casually.
It was as if the fierce, life-or-death struggle and the determination to kill each other that had just occurred were merely a fleeting illusion.
Only the lingering spiritual energy fluctuations around them spoke of the tension that had just occurred.
Then,
Sha Minghong waved his hand, softened his tone, and said directly:
"Since you have recognized my identity, there is no need for such polite words; they are too formal."
"Regarding the agreement I reached with you years ago, I wonder if it can still be fulfilled?"
Speaking of which,
He abruptly changed the subject, adding a sentence with a hint of barely perceptible reproach in his tone:
"certainly!
"I know the conditions were indeed somewhat harsh back then, but it was also rather unethical of you to leave without saying goodbye."
Especially when the phrase "left without saying goodbye" is mentioned,
His tone suddenly became much more forceful, and the black-gold mist surrounding him stirred slightly.
Clearly, he still cares about what happened back then.
Then, he softened his tone and slowed his speech, offering a very tempting condition:
"Of course, I am not one to hold grudges over past grievances."
If you're willing to complete the transaction from back then, the past will be wiped clean and never mentioned again.
Moreover, you can set the terms of the transaction.
"As long as it's within my power, I will not hesitate in the slightest."
After saying that,
Shark Minghong stood with his hands behind his back, calmly and composedly looking at Cheng Buzheng's true form, his eyes filled with absolute certainty.
It seemed as if they weren't worried at all about the other party refusing.
He had already planned it out in his mind:
Although he sensed the fluctuations of the second realm's fundamental laws from Cheng Buzheng's true form,
Knowing that the other party was capable of barely contending with him, a Void Refinement Realm expert.
But this kind of confrontation could not last.
The longer the time drags on, the greater the damage to the fundamental principles of the law, and the more disadvantageous it will be for Cheng Buzheng.
Even the realm of laws he painstakingly cultivated was at risk of falling at any moment.
It should be understood that for a cultivator to make even a slight improvement in their understanding of the laws, they must expend countless efforts and time; it is by no means an easy task.
Therefore,
Sha Minghong firmly believes that Cheng Buzheng will make the wisest choice and accept his proposal.
That's why he didn't attack again after his previous strike.
They even went so far as to set aside the cause and effect of Cheng Buzheng "enjoying the legacy," just to give both sides room to maneuver and facilitate the deal.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Buzheng's true form...
His brows furrowed instantly, and his expression became serious.
Obviously,
He never expected that after so many years, the ancestor of the Purgatory Clan would still remember the supernatural powers he possessed.
But he knew in his heart that he was not a member of the Nightmare Clan at all, and what he possessed was not the bloodline power of the Nightmare Clan—
Those supernatural abilities were all deduced by him using the small disc, requiring no bloodline inheritance.
However, to truly master these supernatural powers, one must undergo rigorous training day after day; they cannot be directly inherited or seized.
From the very beginning, this was a misunderstanding.
Cheng Buzheng remained silent for a moment, his fingertips twitching slightly as he rapidly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
After pondering for a while,
He slowly raised his eyes, looking firmly at Sha Minghong, and said:
"The transaction can continue!"
However, I have only one request:
You must leave this world and never set foot in it again for the rest of your life, how about that?
Upon hearing this...
The air currents in the void seemed to stagnate.
The indifferent smile that had been playing on Shark Minghong's lips vanished instantly as he stood suspended in mid-air.
The infernal aura surrounding him also faltered for a moment.
What was most striking was the fleeting hesitation deep within his eyes.
Like a pebble thrown into a lake, it disturbed the firmness in his eyes.
Although it was fleeting, it was enough to illustrate the allure of those conditions.
Obviously,
The conditions Cheng Buzheng offered were, for him...
It is by no means insignificant.
Instead, it was like a thread, tightly tugging at the slightest emotional fluctuation in his heart.
Sha Minghong's thoughts raced through his mind.
Thoughts churned within me, and I pondered silently:
"Although this requirement seems simple and can be accomplished with just a few simple movements..."
This would also save them the trouble of continuing to entangle themselves with this unpredictable Nightmare Clan brat.
There's no need to waste any more energy guarding against his cunning methods.
But once you agree...
My plan to leverage the resources of this world to upgrade the [Purgatory World-Destroying Millstone] to the level of a spiritual treasure has thus been completely shattered.
There is absolutely no possibility left!
"Unless, we find another cultivation world of a decent level,"
But the myriad realms are vast and boundless; to find a place abundant with spiritual energy and thriving with life...
Moreover, how difficult is it to find a world suitable for one's own cultivation and capable of helping spiritual treasures advance?
Even if a thousand years were to pass, it might not be possible to achieve one's wish.
Moreover, if they were to leave now, there wouldn't be enough living beings to serve as sacrifices to aid their cultivation.
In a short period of time, let alone surpassing the peak realm of that year?
Even the understanding of the laws he had when he returned to the Integration Realm was just wishful thinking!
Only by spending endless time and slowly accumulating insights, bit by bit, can one gradually recover.
But how could I possibly have that much time to waste?
With this thought in mind,
Another consideration arose in his mind, tinged with hesitation and resentment:
"but!
If they don't agree, they will directly lose the opportunity to obtain those mysterious supernatural powers.
And judging from the Nightmare Clan child's posture,
This is probably the only time I will ever have the opportunity to come into contact with such profound and mysterious supernatural powers.
Once missed, there's no going back.
"···"
For a time,
Two completely different thoughts clashed fiercely in Sha Minghong's mind.
On one hand, there is readily available security and a chance to escape.
On one hand, there are opportunities and long-term plans that are hard to let go of.
The interplay of advantages and disadvantages briefly placed this ancestor of the Purgatory Clan, who had weathered countless storms, in a dilemma.
It is difficult to make a decision immediately.
but,
As a powerful figure who has become a progenitor of a region and experienced countless vicissitudes and life-and-death tribulations, Shark Minghong's decisiveness far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators.
He hesitated for only a moment, then that hesitation completely vanished from his eyes.
Instead, there was an undeniable firmness.
The murderous aura surrounding him intensified once more.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes—
He had already made his choice.
Obviously,
Between opportunity and stability...
He ultimately chose the former.
Even if it means continuing to fight Cheng Buzheng to the bitter end?
Even if it means taking on unknown risks,
They were unwilling to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Then,
Sha Minghong raised his eyes, his gaze sharp and intense, and stared directly at Cheng Buzheng, who was facing him from a distance.
A faint, arrogant smile returned to the corners of his mouth.
The voice, carrying the murderous aura of purgatory, reverberated through the void as it slowly spoke:
"If you want me to leave, it's simple."
"If you can defeat me, young friend, I will willingly leave. There's no need for so many roundabout ways!"
Upon hearing this, ripples appeared in the void once more, and an invisible pressure spread between the two.
A knowing glint flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
It was as if this outcome had been anticipated all along.
He sighed softly.
His tone carried a hint of helplessness, yet also an unwavering determination:
"It seems that today is unavoidable, and we must fight this battle!"
"Fine!"
Since you have made up your mind, then I have no choice but to fight to the death.
"I want to see just how capable the progenitor of the Void Refinement Realm truly is!"
Yes,
Cheng Buzheng was not at all surprised by Sha Minghong's decision.
He had already anticipated this...
Given Sha Minghong's personality, he would never miss the opportunity to seize supernatural powers.
They will not easily give up this world.
Although he was not yet fully aware of what kind of attraction this cultivation world, with its sparse spiritual energy and scarce high-level resources, held for Sha Minghong.
But he was absolutely certain that this world would play an extremely important role for Shark Minghong.
It even concerns his long-term cultivation.
otherwise,
Given Sha Minghong's cultivation level as the progenitor of the Void Refining Clan, he would have left this barren land—a place where even the resources needed for a Nascent Soul cultivator were insufficient—as soon as he was revived.
We should seek out broader and more abundant cultivation realms.
Why would they stay here?
Why get entangled with a Nascent Soul cultivator like myself?
After all, resources in this cultivation world are extremely scarce...
Let alone what it requires to support the cultivation of cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm?
Even for Nascent Soul cultivators, the resources needed to break through their realm and stabilize their cultivation are stretched thin.
They were simply not worthy of the attention of the Void Refining Ancestor.
Cheng Buzheng's divine sense raced, eliminating all the impossibilities...
He gradually came to terms with the situation, and only two of the most plausible possibilities remained:
Firstly, deep within this cultivation world lies a hidden, top-tier spiritual vein, sufficient to support Shark Minghong's cultivation.
It even helped his spiritual treasure advance;
Another possibility is the souls and blood of countless cultivators in this world, which might provide Sha Minghong with the assistance he needs for cultivation.
However, Cheng Buzheng still preferred the latter.
This was because he already knew that Shark Minghong's main cultivation method was the Law of Blood.
The blood of cultivators contains extremely faint traces of the power of laws.
It has a natural enhancing effect on comprehending the Law of Blood.
Even if this benefit is extremely small, over time...
This will definitely bring about a significant improvement.
Moreover, Cheng Buzheng absolutely did not believe that Shark Minghong, as the ancestor of the Purgatory Clan, would not have secret techniques and supernatural powers that could stack and enhance similar abilities.
If one were to gather the blood of countless cultivators and refine its power of laws using secret methods…
The help that provided to Sha Minghong in comprehending the Law of Blood was considerable.
In this way...
The allure of cultivators from this world to the progenitor of the Purgatory Clan is self-evident.
Cheng Buzheng was very clear about this.
After all, his own Blood Law realm had already broken through to the second realm.
Moreover, it's at the peak of the Law Rune Realm.
Just one step away from taking another step forward and entering the next realm.
Therefore, regarding the method for enhancing one's understanding of the Law of Blood...
Cheng Buzheng still had his own insights.
Because of this,
He was more inclined to believe that Shark Minghong's purpose in staying here was for the sake of the countless cultivators in this world.
of course,
Cheng Buzheng did not completely rule out another possibility—
Sha Minghong's goal might be to have both a spiritual vein and the ability to cultivate.
He wanted to cultivate using the spiritual veins.
They also wanted to use cultivators as sacrifices.
With this double boost, my recovery and promotion speed will be accelerated.
And the most important point...
On the surface, the gap between him and Sha Minghong is simply too vast.
Sha Minghong was a genuine Void Refinement Realm expert, while he was merely a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
Even if one's understanding of the laws far surpasses that of others of the same level,
He even touched the threshold of the Void Refinement Realm.
However, the gap in their levels of understanding is by no means easily bridged.
If the standoff continues for a long time...
He had absolutely no chance of turning the tide.
The longer he delays, the greater his chances of losing.
If one is unlucky, it is not impossible to perish on the spot and have one's soul scattered.
If one is lucky enough to fight with all their might, they may only be able to flee in a sorry state, becoming a fugitive with nowhere to settle down.
Unless, he is given enough time to refine enough power of laws and break through to the Void Refinement Realm.
Only in this way could he possess the resources to contend with Shark Minghong.
Only then is there a possibility of turning defeat into victory.
But Cheng Buzheng knew perfectly well...
Sha Minghong would never give him that time.
Sha Minghong was eager to suppress him immediately and seize his 'bloodline supernatural power', so how could he let him break through in peace?
Furthermore, if we could suppress him on the spot...
It would be much easier for Sha Minghong to plot against the mysterious supernatural powers he possessed.
There's no need to worry about him making a comeback in the future.
It requires even less effort.
Precisely because of these factors...
Cheng Buzheng instantly understood the fundamental reason why Sha Minghong had not agreed to his conditions—
Sha Minghong wanted the supernatural power in his possession.
They are unwilling to give up the benefits of this world, and want to have their cake and eat it too.
That's why he made the demand that I "defeat him and then retreat."
It seems fair, but in reality, it's an attempt to kill two birds with one stone.
in an instant,
Many thoughts flashed through Cheng Buzheng's mind.
There is an assessment of the situation.
Having insight into Shark Minghong's thoughts,
He also had plans for the upcoming battles, and all sorts of thoughts intertwined, yet they did not shake his resolve in the slightest.
next moment,
Sha Minghong's familiar voice came again.
His words, laced with both seduction and pressure, echoed in the air:
"Young friend, I will give you one more chance."
"As long as you..."
