Chapter 495 – Blood Four’s Death, Red Talent Heaven-Sent Fortune Supreme!
by spirapiraChapter 495 – Blood Four’s Death, Red Talent Heaven-Sent Fortune Supreme!
Upon hearing Su Xing’s words, Blood Four was momentarily stunned before quickly regaining his composure.
Enraged to the point of laughter, he sneered:
“Hmph! What arrogance! We’re both Supreme Unity Golden Immortals… and you dare claim you can kill me instantly?”
“Who do you think you are? A Supreme Unity Celestial Venerable?!”
Blood Four had some confidence in this regard.
Battles between Supreme Unity Golden Immortals could easily last years, destroying Medium Chiliocosms in the process—this was no joke!
If a real fight broke out, Blood Four was confident he could protect himself, but the entire Thousand Isles Realm would absolutely be destroyed!
Unless the man before him had truly comprehended the seventh realm Great Dao and was a Supreme Unity Celestial Venerable, there was no way it could happen without significant commotion!
And there were only a handful of Supreme Unity Celestial Venerables in existence. Blood Four had long ago memorized all their identities, and Su Xing was not among them.
This was precisely why Blood Four dared to be so arrogant!
We’re both Supreme Unity Golden Immortals—who’s afraid of whom? At worst, we’ll just fight it out!
Thinking this, Blood Four grew even more furious.
With a thunderous roar, a river of blood materialized and wrapped tightly around him, as if he were fully prepared to do battle with Su Xing.
However, Su Xing merely continued unhurriedly wiping down the Blackice sword in his hand, saying:
“Heh heh… both Supreme Unity Golden Immortals, you say?”
Su Xing chuckled softly, as though mocking Blood Four’s ignorance.
Then, just as Blood Four’s aura surged to its peak and that river of blood nearly engulfed the entire island—
At that very moment, Su Xing took a single step forward, and the aura around him exploded in an instant.
Draw sword, strike… sheathe the Blackice sword, collect the corpse!
The entire process occurred in the blink of an eye.
Blood Four hadn’t even had time to react before his head had already hit the ground.
Blood Four’s physical body was destroyed by Su Xing in a single instant.
Only his soul remained, scrambling desperately out of his ruined body, face twisted with horror.
“No… impossible!”
“Who are you?! Are you the Sword Immortal White Emperor?!”
Blood Four’s soul cried out in terror. He knew there was no longer any hope of survival.
That sword just now—he hadn’t had the slightest room to resist.
Counting all the sword cultivators in the world who could achieve this and instantly kill him, there were no more than two or three.
And the one who could do it so cleanly and decisively… it had to be White Emperor!
Su Xing frowned slightly upon hearing this and muttered:
“Noisy!”
Then he flicked his finger, sending a surge of sword intent outward. The next second… Blood Four’s last remaining wisp of soul was completely extinguished, denied even reincarnation.
And with that, the Supreme Unity Golden Immortal Blood Four was thoroughly slain by Su Xing!
The entire process took an extremely short amount of time—even shorter than a street brawl between wandering swordsmen.
Immediately after, Su Xing deftly retrieved Blood Four’s storage artifact, broke through its seals, extracted the treasures within, and destroyed everything useless.
After killing Blood Four, Su Xing didn’t rest.
The Thousand Isles Realm was a significant stronghold of the Advent Cult.
Su Xing spent half a day completely demolishing every Advent Cult base in the Thousand Isles Realm.
He killed over a dozen Advent Cult officers and countless followers…
Only after finishing all of this did Su Xing depart at his leisure.
……
Half a day later, Su Xing changed his appearance once again and appeared in a restaurant in White Emperor City in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm, leisurely sipping wine.
On the table sat a storage bag containing various spirit ores that Bai Xuan had delivered to Su Xing.
Despite three or four years having passed, Bai Xuan hadn’t slacked off.
Su Xing converted all these spirit ores and earned roughly ten to twenty million origin energy.
It wasn’t much, but it was still decent.
“Returning to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm again… things remain but people have changed!”
Su Xing sighed with some emotion.
Thinking back to a few years ago, when Su Xing had first come from Earth to the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.
Everything had been so novel then, and Su Xing had been unprecedentedly cautious.
But now, Su Xing’s strength was already among the top tier in the Three Thousand Worlds, and he no longer needed to be so careful.
“Still… I can’t get too reckless!”
“After all, without reaching Great Firmament, one can never truly be safe…”
Su Xing shook his head, not allowing himself to grow complacent over killing Blood Four.
To the current Su Xing, Blood Four… was nothing more than a slightly stronger ant!
But in this current age of great calamity, all below Great Firmament were mere insects.
Even after reaching Great Firmament Golden Immortal, without becoming a Saint, one would ultimately struggle to protect oneself.
Su Xing sighed, then turned his gaze to his attribute panel.

【Remaining Origin Energy: 2,243,790,000…】
【Remaining Simulation Attempts: 5】
Over six months and more than twenty simulations, Su Xing’s strength had naturally improved enormously, though he had also temporarily hit a bottleneck.
Yes, temporarily hitting a bottleneck—this was something that had never happened to Su Xing before.
But it truly had occurred. In terms of talent and resources, Su Xing believed himself unmatched in the world.
However, the bottleneck Su Xing currently faced was more about “karmic affinity”—until the right fortune arrived, even Su Xing found it difficult to advance further.
In terms of cultivation, the mere twenty-nine-year-old Su Xing had already reached Supreme Unity Golden Immortal Ninth Stage Peak. One more step and he would reach Supreme Unity Great Perfection, at which point he would need to undergo the “Nine Tribulations” to become a Great Firmament Golden Immortal.
Approaching Supreme Unity Golden Immortal Perfection meant Su Xing’s magical power was practically inexhaustible.
As long as he wasn’t fighting a Great Firmament Golden Immortal, continuously unleashing supernatural arts at high intensity posed virtually no risk of depleting his power.
As for body cultivation, Su Xing had also reached Great Shaman Body Forging Art Seventh Layer Perfection, with his Celestial Primordial Tree reaching 9,999 zhang (33.3 km)!
One more step would be the eighth layer, putting his physical body on par with a Great Firmament Golden Immortal!
With Su Xing’s current physical body, he could essentially achieve regeneration from a single drop of blood—even if only a trace of vital blood remained, he could expend his blood essence to resurrect!
As long as his blood essence wasn’t extinguished, Su Xing was virtually immortal!
Of course, this wasn’t absolute immortality.
Under certain extreme circumstances, Su Xing could still “die.”
As for talents, Su Xing had drawn five red talents over the past six months.
Among them, two were of great use to Su Xing.
Celestial Primordial Battle Physique and Luminous Sword Heart!
The Celestial Primordial Battle Physique granted Su Xing a massive amount of “vitality”!
Su Xing had already cultivated the Great Shaman Body Forging Art to Seventh Layer Perfection, making his internal vitality virtually inexhaustible.
Combined with this talent, it meant that in battles against opponents of the same level, Su Xing’s primordial energy would essentially never run out.
As for the Luminous Sword Heart, Su Xing could only describe it with one word—powerful!
Its specific effect was to multiply Su Xing’s aptitude in the Sword Dao several times over, allowing him to easily create sword supernatural arts, sword techniques, and the like, while also making his comprehension of sword intent far more profound.
The Luminous Sword Heart, combined with his Innate Sword Body talent, elevated Su Xing’s Sword Dao talent to a level unprecedented in all of history.
Even compared to White Emperor, the “greatest Sword Immortal under heaven,” Su Xing was confident he was not the slightest bit inferior—and might even surpass him!
Su Xing’s six months of accumulation had also pushed his Great Dao of the Sword into the sixth realm Peak!
The sixth realm Peak Great Dao of the Sword, combined with the Luminous Sword Heart, allowed Su Xing to study White Emperor’s legendary sword strike and create his own technique—”Sword One”!
What was Sword One?
The saying goes: one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things!
In the previous time reversal, White Emperor’s sword strike represented the ultimate Sword Dao, symbolizing “the sword itself”!
Su Xing had studied that strike, spending several simulations, and finally created “Sword One.”
This sword technique of Su Xing’s fused all sword arts in existence, coming closest to “the essence of the sword”!
Its power was comparable to White Emperor’s legendary strike.
It represented the ultimate art of offensive combat!
It was also the most powerful supernatural technique Su Xing had ever possessed.
Its power exceeded Void Slash, Immortal Burst, and Protective Sword Aura by several times!
And “Sword One” consisted of only a single strike, deciding victory in an instant.
Of course, under normal conditions, Su Xing couldn’t yet execute this sword technique.
Only by combining it with “World Power: Spirit Domain” to temporarily elevate his Sword Dao comprehension to the seventh realm—
Could he unleash Sword One!
Earlier, when Su Xing had instantly killed Blood Four, he had used precisely this technique—”Sword One”!
This was a sword technique capable of instantly killing a Supreme Unity True Sovereign.
Using it to kill Blood Four was indeed like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
But there was no choice—to avoid any complications from delay, Su Xing had to go for the instant kill.
The reason he did this was naturally related to “life tablets”!
All senior officers of the Advent Cult possessed life tablets.
When a life tablet shattered, it typically meant the cultivator had been killed.
But it couldn’t be simply interpreted that way.
For instance, before a life tablet shattered—
It would usually sustain damage first, indicating that the cultivator had been severely injured.
Only afterward would it completely shatter, signifying their demise.
But Su Xing’s single strike had instantly killed Blood Four, meaning his life tablet must have shattered all at once.
When the Advent Cult discovered this, they would surely be puzzled.
After all, given Blood Four’s strength, anyone below Great Firmament should not have been able to kill him without any resistance.
Therefore, the Advent Cult would not be able to immediately determine Blood Four’s fate.
Instead, they would first investigate whether the life tablet had simply malfunctioned, or whether Blood Four had accidentally stumbled into some mysterious Secret Realm.
“And based on previous simulation deductions, this investigation period should take about three months!”
“While not long, it’s enough time for my next step!”
Su Xing’s eyes flickered slightly.
Six months of accumulation had given Su Xing sufficient confidence.
Both his body cultivation and qi cultivation had reached Supreme Unity Peak.
Combined with his numerous talents and the newly comprehended “Sword One” supernatural art—
Su Xing’s strength had truly reached the level of a Supreme Unity Celestial Venerable.
In fact, among the handful of Supreme Unity Celestial Venerables still alive in the world, Su Xing was confident he would not lose to any of them.
Of course, this enormous leap in strength had come at considerable cost.
Six months ago, Su Xing had already possessed 2.3 billion origin energy.
Adding the Star Stones from the Star Realm and the ninety-six Luotian legacies, Su Xing’s origin energy had broken through 3 billion.
But after spending over 800 million in the past six months, it had fallen back to 2.2 billion.
“The only regret is… neither the Great Dao of the Sword nor the Great Dao of Space has broken through to the seventh realm!”
“However, with Spirit Domain’s enhancement, I can maintain seventh realm Dao comprehension for half a month.”
“Even against some weaker Great Firmament cultivators, I wouldn’t necessarily be unable to protect myself!”
Su Xing narrowed his eyes. With his current strength, even against Blood Two, Su Xing could escape with his life.
Only the yet-unseen Blood Immortal made Su Xing deeply wary.
“But based on current intelligence… the Blood Immortal is suspected to be in the Eighth Heaven, competing with the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master for an opportunity to become a Saint… so there’s no chance of encountering him for now.”
Su Xing murmured.
The Blood Immortal was in the Eighth Heaven, and Blood Two was in the Heavenly Secrets Domain.
Among the Advent Cult’s upper echelon, only Blood Three remained, and he wouldn’t even survive a single exchange with Su Xing.
“So next, I should continue cutting off the Advent Cult’s wings…”
“But before that, let me first advance my cultivation to Supreme Unity Golden Immortal Great Perfection!”
Su Xing’s gaze turned to the simulation panel as he initiated a new round of simulation.
“Begin simulation!”
【Simulation #325 initiated. Current remaining origin energy: 2,243,790,000… Remaining simulation attempts: 4.】
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a talent costs 1 origin energy. Draw?】
“Yes!”
【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the red talent “Heaven-Sent Fortune Supreme”…】
【Heaven-Sent Fortune Supreme】: Red talent. You possess unimaginable luck. Calamities do not befall you, and the Great Dao itself protects you from the shadows. Opportunities and treasures come to you the moment you need them. In terms of fortune, you have surpassed all cultivators in the Three Thousand Worlds.
Looking at the newly drawn talent, Su Xing couldn’t help but break into a smile.
“Finally drew it! A red-tier fortune talent!”
“Tsk tsk, compared to the previous Heaven-Sent Fortune, this one is probably far superior!”
The concept of fortune was mysterious and enigmatic, yet it truly existed.
Fortune influenced many things—resources, calamities, even breakthrough probability, the frequency of lucky encounters, and so on.
Anything involving chance or randomness would be affected by fortune.
“Heaven-Sent Fortune Supreme, huh? I wonder if this talent… can help me break through to the seventh realm of Dao comprehension?”
Su Xing felt a surge of anticipation as he looked toward the simulation panel.
【Please select the talent to enhance with Philosopher’s Stone…】
“I choose to enhance Late Bloomer…”
【In your spirit field grotto-heaven, you realize you are in a simulation.】
【You follow the plan and travel to Celestial Demon City in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【With Red Moon’s complete revival, it has accelerated its invasion of the Three Thousand Worlds in order to break through to the chief god realm as quickly as possible.】
【Massive numbers of red-eyed aliens have appeared, putting the Celestial Demon City frontlines in critical danger.】
【You join the Celestial Demon City battlefield and begin slaughtering the red-eyed aliens.】
【In merely two months, you eliminate the vast majority of the foreign race in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm.】
【For at least a hundred years, the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm faces no danger of destruction.】
【After completing this task, using information you knew in advance, you locate Red Moon hiding in a dimensional pocket.】
【You enter the Endless Abyss where Red Moon resides.】
In the Real World, Su Xing nodded slightly at this.
“I must first annihilate the foreign race in the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm… Not only will it yield a batch of origin energy, but more importantly, it buys time!”
Su Xing narrowed his eyes, feeling a growing sense of urgency.
Over the past six months, as Su Xing’s strength continued to break through, those unseen hands guiding fate had been making increasingly drastic changes to the future!
“That Sovereign” seemed to be growing impatient, accelerating the foreign race’s invasion of the Three Thousand Worlds.
The Sovereign had even personally intervened in the struggle between the two generations of Red Moon.
Over the past six months, Su Xing’s shortest simulation had lasted only 1,200 years!
Yes—in that simulation, at the 1,200-year mark, the two generations of Red Moon had finally determined a victor.
The winner was the first-generation Red Moon!
After the struggle ended, Red Moon devoured all of the second-generation Red Moon’s power, pushing its Death law to the eighth realm in one fell swoop!
After that, it broke through to the Sovereign realm!
Once Red Moon reached the Sovereign realm, it was naturally unstoppable.
At that point in the timeline, the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master had not yet become a Saint, and the human race had only managed to hold out for 1,200 years before the Five Great Domains were overrun.
Even White Emperor had fallen in battle.
Su Xing naturally hadn’t escaped that catastrophe either.
“So… I must delay things as long as possible!”
“Only by killing the foreign race and weakening Red Moon’s power can I buy more time…”
“Or alternatively… kill Red Moon directly before it advances to chief god!”
Su Xing narrowed his eyes. Based on previous simulations, Red Moon was less than a year away from advancing to chief god.
“Then… let me try once more!”
Su Xing took a deep breath, wanting to attempt once more to slay Red Moon.
“Activate immersive simulation. Duration: one year…”
