Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 766: Shen Cang Jing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The divine punishment caused by Nie Ting’s breakthrough was so powerful that all Class A’s had been attracted there. Thus, how could Coral miss it?

Although Coral was the Master of Gods of the Deities and she had no connection with the Heavenly Network nor the Golden Foundation, she had come for Lu Shu.

According to her cousin, Li Xianyi and Lu Shu used to be good neighbors. Hence, it was apparent which side she should help...

However, her face turned frosty upon seeing the Bishop. Suddenly, energy exploded in her Gungnir, and she hurled it out towards the Bishop with no hesitation. The long-standing enmity between the Deities and the Department of Faith Theory had to be traced back to ages ago. A battle would have broken out between the two at Sardinia if the Bishop had not retreated via the sea with his team before Coral arrived in the southern parts of the island.

Nonetheless, the Bishop decided not to encounter her head-on. He flew away immediately before Gungnir could reach him!

In fact, his initial intention was simple. He wanted to slay Nie Ting and obtain his body amidst the chaos. However, now that the Puppet Masters had pulled out of the battle, the winds had turned against him. Seeing that his chances of winning were low, the Bishop had decided to withdraw as well.

A Class A could always escape easily unless he was trapped in a siege!

Blasts of shock waves exploded between the Saint and Chen Baili. However, neither of them could obtain an upper hand.

In a split second, Nie Ting had dashed into the thunderstorm. He battled the lightning fiercely, resulting in the entire world shaking under the immense impact. Having seen this, the Saint pulled back from the fight with Chen Baili immediately. Even the craze in his eyes had faded gradually.

All of the Class A’s were crystal clear what they should do upon witnessing Nie Ting’s breakthrough!

The sky seemed to be on the brink of collapse. Instead of pursuing his rival, Chen Baili turned his gaze towards the dispersing clouds with a grave look on his face. No one had expected that Nie Ting would be able to confront the divine punishment straight on. Deep in his heart, Chen Baili knew that he himself would not have been able to survive it.

Nie Ting had truly lived up to his name as the First Man in the East!

To him, defying the Heaven was not that difficult after all.

However... he would destroy the entire world if he kept on slashing like this!

All of a sudden, the Puppet Masters’ words echoed across everyone’s heart. “This world is too weak.”

Now that Nie Ting had ascended beyond Class A, he could flatten a mountain with a simple wave of his arm. Thus, his power had become too much for this frail space. At this moment, Nie Ting was able to disobey the laws of Nature because he himself was a set of governing rules.

Without any warning, Nie Ting stopped. He also knew the potential danger that might follow his current action. Besides, no one knew what could happen when the space fell apart. He had reached a state where... he could not make any unrestrained moves.

As he slowly descended back onto the earth, Li Xianyi looked at him and said with a smile, “Give a name to this new state of yours.”

In the past, the various states were classified by Class A to F, which was a system first proposed by the foreigners. But now, Nie Ting could name the new state as he pleased since he was the first man in history to have achieved this feat.

Tempestuous waves of energy rolled in Nie Ting’s body, but all of them were fully under his control. “Shen Cang Jing 1 !” replied Nie Ting.

His black cloak fluttered in the wind, like a flag of victory and power. On this day, black soils were turned onto the surface of the grassland, and the space had almost been shattered apart. It was this day when Nie Ting confronted the divine punishment with his blade and defined Shen Cang Jing for the first time!

...

At Lu Shu’s home, he was sitting on his couch and reading the new messages on his phone. This time, all the details of the battle were made available to the senior levels of the Heavenly Network, including Nie Ting defining Shen Cang Jing.

Surprisingly but unsurprisingly, Lu Shu had been quietly recognized as a part of the senior levels, even though he was still a cultivation college student.

It sounded strange, but a mere student like him indeed carried a rather significant role...

Lu Shu was in deep thought. Now he learned that the breakthrough required one to integrate the power of the world with himself following his resonance with the Heaven and Earth. Furthermore, the meaning behind Shen Cang Jing was clear as it literally meant a state in which a God resided in oneself. In other words, Nie Ting was saying that he himself was a God.

Certainly, though, it was an exaggeration because at the very least, Nie Ting had discovered that this was not the end yet. It seemed that the path of cultivation had no destination.

“That’s insane,” Lu Shu mumbled. It appeared that he had really helped Nie Ting with his breakthrough...

Nonetheless, there were many points in the report that Lu Shu found inexplicable. For example, he had received a random congratulations message from Li Xianyi after the fight, but the latter refused to explain why...

Lu Shu was utterly confused. Why did he send that message? Was Li Xianyi happy for him because he had helped Nie Ting with his breakthrough?

By right, it should be a piece of good news that someone from the Heavenly Network was now standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation realm. But Lu Shu could not bring himself to celebrate it at all...

He hoped Nie Ting had not made it because of him...

Then, Lu Shu had come to realize that something was wrong. According to the report, those beyond Class A would be able to form and nourish their own universe. This was true. Yet, Lu Shu suddenly remembered that... his celestial map had been a complete universe since the very beginning.

Casting aside the fact that one would no longer have to rely on the Spirit Qi of Nature, all other Practitioners would have been able to initiate at least some form of communication with the Heaven and Earth when they reached Class B. But Lu Shu did not feel it at all.

Instead, he had been absorbing celestial powers and transmitting them to the other universe via the celestial map.

What’s more... the celestial map would repel any Spirit Qi like foreign substances. How willful...

Lu Shu had never paid much attention to this before as his only goal had been to become stronger. However, now that a revolutionary new state had appeared, Lu Shu was suddenly struck with the realization that his cultivation had always taken a different path from the rest,

which meant he had long since entered the so-called Shen Cang Jing.

Although he had not reached Nie Ting’s state, his own universe had been formed a long time ago...

However, there was no time for him to deliberate over this matter. He had to call Nie Ting immediately!

Meanwhile, Nie Ting was standing on the debris of his Liuhai Lane courtyard, which was only left with the walnut tree in its center. Nie Ting remained expressionless as Shi Xuejin complained like a grumpy civilian, “Sure, you can do your breakthrough as you please. But why did you have to destroy our courtyard? It’s more than 500 years old!”

Nie Ting was silent as he had a guilty conscience too. He let Shi Xuejin complain if that would make him feel better...

Suddenly his phone rang. Nie Ting took it out and saw Lu Shu’s name on the screen.

Nie Ting frowned, wondering why Lu Shu had called at this moment. Had he called to congratulate him? No way. Then, he pressed the button to answer his phone.

Lu Shu laughed. “I heard that you got struck by lightning!”

“From Nie Ting’s distress, +666!”

He had finally taken his revenge!
