Against the Gods - Volume 05 - Primordial Profound Ark

by Mars Gravity

  Still thinking of running?!

  Yun Che’s eyes revealed a fierce light… Although Dragon Fault had been broken, it was still possible to be restored. However, with its lower half already bitten with full of holes, even if it was restored, how would there even be a hint of domineering aura from holding onto a Dragon Fault filled with bite marks!? No matter what, he could not allow her to bite on the upper half of the sword blade as well!

  Furious, Yun Che instantly used his maximum speed. However, even with his maximum speed, he realized that he could never approach her… The little girl wildly sprinted, her crimson red hair swept up a long red blur behind her. Her speed was simply quick to the extreme. And, in her embrace, she was still hugging onto Dragon Fault which was more than five thousand kilograms in mass!

  What… What kind of situation was this!?

  Yun Che first stared with widened eyes, right after, he turned completely exasperated, and immediately activated “Purgatory”. His speed immediately rose explosively, and caught up to the little girl in an instant. The moment the little girl turned her head, and saw that Yun Che’s hand was just about to grab onto her hair, she instantly cried out. “Aaaaaah! You can’t steal my delicious food! You can’t!!”

  As she cried out, the little girl’s speed instantly rose all of a sudden as well. Her entire figure, as though she had turned into a stream of red light, became further and further away from Yun Che’s line of sight… She had shockingly thrown off Yun Che, whose speed had already been raised to the absolute limit, far away.

  Yun Che was completely dumbfounded.

  Not only was the little girl unbelievably fast, as she wildly sprinted, she was even directly putting Dragon Fault next to her lips, and with incomparably shocking speed, started chewing it. When Yun Che heard the clanking sounds, he raised his head, and realized that in a blink of an eye, close to half of the broken Dragon Fault in her hands had already disappeared.

  At that moment, Yun Che’s eyeballs were close to falling out. And, the remaining half of the broken sword did not escape the fate of being eaten either. As he simply heard the “crunch crunch crunch” sounds, another small part of it had once again entered the little girl’s mouth. That chewing speed of hers, could not even be compared by her sprinting speed either. Following after, the “crunch crunch crunch” munching sounds came again, and even the remaining hilt of Dragon Fault, was cleanly eaten by her…

  After finishing with the Dragon Fault, the little girl finally stopped running, and instantly stopped. She turned around, raised her chest up high, and as she chewed in an intoxicated manner, she unclearly said. “Wu… I finished eating it. It’s so delicious… There’s no use even if you chase after me again, okay…”

  Yun Che stopped flusteredly as well, and his eyes stared straight at that little girl who carried a pure, satisfied expression… That gaze of his, was as though he was looking at a little monster! Oh, that’s not right. It’s a huge monster!

  That strength which could casually carry Dragon Fault which weighed five thousand kilograms, and that speed which he could not catch up no matter what he did… The key point was that teeth that could eat Dragon Fault as though it was candy… This seemingly tender and frail little girl who did not have any presence of life, nor any energy aura… Just what kind of monster was she!?

  And forget about the weight of the half piece of Dragon Fault, just by its size, it was seemingly comparable to this little girl’s height. However, after she ate the entire thing, her stomach actually did not look bloated in the slightest… Just where did it go?!

  However, to the current Yun Che, the anger in his heart had slightly suppressed his astonishment. The upper half of Dragon was completely eaten by the little girl, while the lower half was bitten full of holes as well. There was definitely no possibility of Dragon Fault being restored any longer. However, the culprit for this entire mess was, after all, merely a little girl of tender age. The naive and spirited look in her eyes were impossible for anyone to not love them, and Yun Che was completely unable to harm her in the slightest, instead, he could only roar out loudly. “Y-Y-Y-You… You little… You little brat! Didn’t I say that you’re not allowed to eat it!! It’s not food, it’s my sword, Dragon Fault! It’s something very important to me! How can you eat it!?”

  “But, it’s a really yummy food.” With Yun Che’s loud roar, and his completely reddened face, he seemed to be really angry. The little girl’s snow-white sneck slightly shrank, as she weakly said. “Wu… big brother, can you not scold me? It’s just a really tasty sword. At the very most, I can give you one back.”

  “What tasty sword!? That’s Dragon Fault!” Yun Che roared out in grief. “It’s not just a mere sword, it’s a companion and friend which had accompanied for many years! It’s the most important thing by my side! There’s only one in the entire world! When you ate it, it’s gone forever, so how are you going to give it back to me!?”

  The more he thought about it now, the more he felt that being a busybody and saving this little brat was the worst decision he had ever made in his entire life. In just the short span of time after he saved her, he could forget about receiving something in return, and he could forget about how troublesome this matter was as well… but she actually… ate his Dragon Fault!!

  The little girl’s neck once again shrank back, however, her little face revealed an unsatisfied expression. With her nose raised, she said. “What I will give you in return is more incredible than the one I ate earlier! Hmph!”

  After saying that, a crimson red light suddenly radiated from her body. Within the light, she slowly floated up in the air, and her entire figure was completely enveloped by red light… Following after, the red light exploded apart in the sky, and then, completely dispersed.

  Yun Che’s pair of eyes, was once again largely widened… The number of times he was shocked on this day, was most probably more than the number of times added up in several years.

  Following after the dispersal of the red light, the little girl’s figure had completely disappeared. Floating in the sky, what appeared in Yun Che’s eyes, was shockingly… a crimson red odd-shaped gigantic sword!!

  The entire sword was completely crimson red in color. The blade was filled with rows of messy deep-red inscriptions, and an extremely light layer of obscure red glow was enveloping it as well. The length of the blade was more than nine feet, which was larger than Dragon Fault by thirty percent. And with this length, it had even surpassed an absolutely large number of spear-related weapons! The sword of the hilt was straight and bulky, and above the hilt, the base of the blade was shockingly more than two feet in width. Moving up the blade, the width of the blade irregularly shrank, and at the end of the blade, it had already shrank into an incomparably sharp tip, radiating with a cold, crimson red light!

  It was larger than both the Overlord’s Colossal Sword and Dragon Fault, however, different from the heavy and thick blade tip of the Overlord’s Colossal Sword and Dragon Fault, it was actually incomparably sharp, enough to produce a piercing strike with immense penetrative power. However, putting aside its outer appearance, this sword actually completely lacked an imposing atmosphere… It was lifeless without a single hint of aura emitting from it, as though it was crafted from nothing more than the most normal profound metal.

  Yun Che’s eyes widened, completely dumbfounded… What he was shocked about was naturally not because of the sword itself, rather, it was because this sword, was transformed by that little girl right in front of his eyes!!

  The gigantic crimson red sword swirled around in the air, and then, with the sword tip pointing downwards, it descended under Yun Che’s stunned gaze. With a light sound, the blade tip deeply stabbed into the ground at the bottom, which was extremely hard itself. And even though the part where the blade tip was had stabbed into the ground, the straightened gigantic crimson red sword was still much taller than Yun Che. The top of Yun Che’s head was only comparable to the bottom of the sword hilt.

&
nbsp; Following after its descent, Yun Che realized that at the bottom of the gigantic crimson red sword’s hilt, at the center of the widest part of the sword, a marble of about seventeen to eighteen centimeters in diameter was embedded in it… Within the marble, astonishingly, he saw the little girl who had disappeared!

  The height of her body had already turned into about seventeen centimeters tall, and although she had turned especially pocket-sized, her clothes, the color of her hair, her face, and even her eyes could still be seen clearly. She, who was within the marble, placed her hands on both sides of her waist, and laughed out loud triumphantly. “Hehehehe! I succeeded! I succeeded! As expected, I’m really amazing! Big brother, did you see it? Isn’t it much better than that… uhh… farmer faulty thing!”

  “It’s Dragon Fault!” Yun Che’s voice slightly trembled.

  Chapter 485: Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword

  Possessing frightening strength, with speed that Yun Che was not able to catch up to, and eating up Dragon Fault, the little girl now revealed to him her fourth ability…

  She could actually turn into a sword!!

  Furthermore, it was a sword that was bigger than the Overlord’s Colossal Sword and Dragon Fault! And such a huge sword could only be called a heavy sword.

  After turning into sword, she could still make a miniature version of herself appear within it.

  Yun Che was currently feeling faint and even wondered whether he was dreaming. Although there were many mysteries in the boundless universe, this was still too outrageous!

  Yun Che stared at the scarlet greatsword, beside him, rang the sounds of the girl’s satisfied flaunting. In his shock, he couldn’t even tell what the girl was shouting about. He looked from up to down, from left to right, unable to describe how he felt. With his experiences from two lifetimes and the calmness he got after being baptized by the spatial storm, he was still unable to comprehend this creepy matter that was in accordance to the laws of life and the world.

  When he looked carefully again, he suddenly saw that on the two sides of the core pearl, each side was imprinted with a word… The two words were both deep red and completely the same as the patterns that were imprinted on the blade. If one did not look carefully, they would very easily miss it.

  The two words were, on the left “Devil” and on the right “Slayer”.

  “Slayer Devil… No, it should be Devil Slayer?” Yun Che muttered.

  “What? Devil Slayer?!?!”

  Yun Che’s muttering caused a huge reaction from the pondering Jasmine as she instantly came beside Yun Che and asked: “Where did you see those two words?”

  Yun Che pointed towards the left and right of the core pearl. Jasmine’s gaze swept passed the words “Devil Slayer”, as deep shock appeared on her face.

  “You know this sword?” Yun Che asked immediately.

  Jasmine didn’t answer him but instead still stared at the deep scarlet greatsword, as though she was trying very hard to try to remember something. After sometime, she finally said softly: “Could it be…”

  Halfway through speaking, Jasmine suddenly looked up and said: “Go look at the other side of the sword, see if it’s the words ‘Devil Slayer’ as well!”

  Yun Che nodded and swiftly turned the sword to the other side. At the same position, he found another two similarly colored words… However the two words were not “Devil” and “Slayer”.

  The left side was “Heaven” and the Right was “Smiting”.

  “Smiting Heaven?” Yun Che muttered and frowned: “No, from the position of the words, it should be… ‘Heaven Smiting’!”

  Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer?

  “Heaven Smiting? How could it be those two words?” Seeing the words “Heaven Smiting”, Jasmine’s expression changed drastically as shock and confusion appeared together on her face: “Could I be wrong… No! This feeling, it obviously is…”

  “Jasmine, what exactly did you figure out? Do you know this sword’s… or this little girl’s origins?” Yun Che ask in confusion.

  “I’m not sure.” Jasmine slowly shook her head: “My previous guess was too whimsical and the words ‘Heaven Smiting’ threw my guess off by nearly ninety percent. You don’t have to ask anymore. What I’m guessing, even if I explained to you, would only serve to confuse you and not clarify matters! However, I do understand why there aren’t any signs of life on her.”

  “Why?”

  “Because it’s highly likely she’s not human! Nor is she any ordinary living being!” Jasmine slowly explained: “She’s probably a ‘celestial spirit’ that exceeds any living being!”

  “Celestial Spirit?” This was the first time Yun Che had heard of this concept.

  “The strength of a living being needs to be built upon cultivation, but for a celestial spirit, they possess exceptional powers of heaven and earth at birth. However, the existence of ‘celestial spirits’ had already been extinct since the Ancient Era, and should not exist within this era. I have only heard of them from my brother. However, this girl is from the Ancient Era and has many peculiarities. Even with my understanding, I cannot explain them. Therefore, she’s likely a being that isn’t from a normal clan of the Ancient Era, and her characteristics are similar to the ‘celestial spirits’ that my brother described. Therefore, I think there is at least a fifty percent chance she come from a celestial spirit clan from the Ancient Era!”

  Jasmine word’s were very calm but Yun Che could still hear the hesitation in her voice. Because even if it was Jasmine, she had never interacted with a celestial spirit before and what she said were all merely speculation. And with Jasmine’s profound realm and knowledge, if she was stunned by the girl’s peculiarities… any guess, no matter how ridiculous would not be too overly exaggerated.

  “Go and try the sword.” Jasmine said suddenly.

  The scarlet greatsword did not possess any aura, nor was it imposing. Even though it was massive, it didn’t possess any overbearing aura that a heavy sword should have. Yun Che placed on of his hand on the sword’s hilt and casually grabbed it.

  The scarlet greatsword did not move one bit.

  Although it was a casual grab, with Yun Che’s arm strength, he at least possessed a few thousand kilograms of strength, yet he was unable to move this unimposing greatsword at all.

  Yun Che was stunned as his face revealed great shock. After he recovered from the shock, he stood up properly, placed both his hands on the sword hilt and activated the “Purgatory” gate. All his profound strength and arm strength gathered to both his arms.

  “Haah!!”

  Yun Che howled as his arms began to rise. Under his full strength, the scarlet greatsword was lifted off the ground as he swung the sword to create a slash, leaving behind a scarlet trajectory. Holding onto the scarlet greatsword in midair, his muscles tightened and his veins bulged. He felt that he was not holding onto a sword, but a mountain!

  The weight he felt in his arms was at least ten times that of Dragon Fault!!

  It was at least a hundred thousand kilograms!!

  If it were not for the fourth stage of the Great Way of the Buddha granting him fifty thousand kilograms of arm strength, and using his own strength and profound strength, he probably would not be able to lift this sword at all.

  The brat was only twenty to thirty kilograms and he could lift her with half a finger… How could she turn into a sword that was this heavy?!

  Although this scarlet greatsword was bigger than Dragon Fault, it was at most bigger by thirty percent, yet it was at least ten times heavier! The concentration of its strength should be frightening, but why was it not imposing at all!

  The weight on both his arms reminded him of the first time he wielded the Overlord’s Colossal Sword. He gritted his teeth and concentrated his strength on his arms, then began to swing the scarlet greatsword around. The moment he started swinging, the aura became imposing, as though it was a raging ocean’s waves banging heavily onto shore. The burst of the sword was as
deafening as a thunder strike… One could only imagine the destructive power of being hit by the sword.

  “Wah, wah, wah… So fun! Fun, fun… Wuahhhh, why do I feel dizzy…”

  The immense weight did not cause Yun Che to retreat, but instead made him even more excited. Even the increasingly intense vibrations were thrown to the back of his mind. Only when the excited sound of the little girl rang did his motion stop, reminding him that this sword… was transformed from the little girl!

  “Quick, drop your blood onto the sword… A drop is sufficient!” Jasmine’s voice suddenly sounded and it was using the soul transmission that no one else could hear.

  Although he did not know why Jasmine’s shout sounded serious, Yun Che did not ask too much and immediately condensed a drop of blood from the tip of his finger, dropping it onto the scarlet greatsword.

  The moment the drop of blood touched the scarlet greatsword, Jasmine, who was behind Yun Che immediately stacked her hands together and displayed a weird hand seal. In the palm of her hand, a deep blood-like red glow flashed.

  At the same instant, the blood that was dripping down the sword stopped, entered the core of the sword, and completely disappeared.

  Jasmine’s actions completely avoided Yun Che’s vision and spiritual sense causing him to not detect anything… he only felt a weird energy fluctuation for an instant.

  “Ehh? Why do I feel so weird.”

  The girl sounded slightly confused. The scarlet greatsword on Yun Che’s hand flashed with a red light and disappeared. The red haired red clothed young girl reappeared and when she landed, she did not immediately acknowledge Yun Che. Instead, she held her face and bit her finger unintentionally seemingly thinking very hard about something.

  The scarlet greatsword disappeared, but the heavy feeling still lingered on his arm. His heart was unable to calm down from his excitement… Although wielding this scarlet greatsword was still slightly straining for him, when he was able to fully wield it, with this sword in hand, his explosive power would be far beyond that of Dragon Fault!
