Chapter 174 – Mutual Destruction With Heaven and Earth? Self-Destruct Secret Technique? Cursing Master to Die Early, Is That It?

“Master, I’m begging you!!!”

In the slacking corner, Li Qinghe broke down completely. She simply decided to let things drift and squatted halfway on the ground, shaking Qin Yang’s arm.

She was already falling apart.

This Qin guy was truly impervious to all persuasion!

He didn’t want money,

He didn’t want favors.

This person genuinely only wanted to slack off and take it easy!

How was she supposed to play this game?!

“Could you please reward your disciple with the Innate Pill… I’ll do anything!” Li Qinghe whispered, “Just one pill, nothing else.”

“Really, anything?” Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, giving her a glance.

“Mhmm!” Hearing this, Li Qinghe’s eyes lit up with pleasant surprise. “Anything!”

“Good, then this master will give you a task!” A faint smile curled at the corner of Qin Yang’s lips. “You go break through to the Innate Realm first. After you succeed, I’ll give you the Innate Pill!”

As his words fell.

“…”

Li Qinghe’s face stiffened, the smile that had just appeared frozen in place.

???

Break through to the Innate Realm…

to get the Innate Pill?

Wait, without the Innate Pill, how is this young lady supposed to break through to the Innate Realm?!

Even if we take a thousand steps back…

If I break through to the Innate Realm…

Then what would I need your pill for?!

Qin, you’re playing it like this, huh!

“You!!” Li Qinghe’s face completely darkened, her voice almost squeezed through gritted teeth, icy cold. The look she gave Qin Yang was practically enough to devour him.

“What? Why are you staring at me like that? Weren’t you the one who said…” Qin Yang laughed, a teasing expression on his face. “Since you’ll do anything, is there a problem with this master telling you to break through to the Innate Realm? It’s already good enough that I didn’t tell you to reach the Supreme Realm!”

As his words fell.

Li Qinghe pouted, immediately unhappy.

After all,

the gap between the Acquired Realm and the Innate Realm was enormous, the threshold like crossing mountains and seas.

Even Li Zixuan, who broke through last time, went through great pains.

Originally, her conservative estimate was that it would take at least half a month, and even then, success wasn’t guaranteed—multiple attempts to charge the threshold were needed.

If it weren’t for Qin Yang providing the Innate Pill, even if Li Zixuan could break through, it would have taken her nearly half a month…

Back and forth, such a hassle!

Moreover,

if even someone with her top-tier cultivation talent needed that long… then with this young lady’s ordinary cultivation talent, it goes without saying!

Miserable!

“Simply unbearable to watch.”

Thinking of this, Li Qinghe sighed, staring at Qin Yang sitting on the stool.

Under the master’s roof, one must bow their head!

“I must find a way to butter up this Qin guy and get the Innate Pill!”

With this in mind,

Li Qinghe flipped her hand and retrieved an ancient book from her Star Ring, respectfully presenting it to Qin Yang. She whispered,

“Master, what if… I trade this with you?”

“What’s this?” Qin Yang took the ancient book, scanning it with keen interest.

The cover, yellowed like a withered leaf, and the cracked spine exuded an ancient aura. The title, written in small seal script, displayed four striking characters—

“Mutual Destruction with Heaven and Earth”

“?”

Seeing this, Qin Yang’s eyes widened instantly, his spirits immediately roused!

Such an arrogant name—it was truly the first time he’d seen anything like it!

Mutual Destruction with Heaven and Earth…

Wouldn’t that mean directly attaining the Dao and ascending to immortality?!

“Good stuff! Don’t rush, let this master verify the goods.””Then Master, you can only glance at it briefly, you can’t look too long or secretly memorize the contents.” Li Qinghe clutched the corner of her clothes, appearing pitiful and delicate as she spoke weakly,

“This is my only bargaining chip…”

“Ah, of course, your master will just take a quick look. Even if I really tried to memorize it, I could only remember just a little! Don’t worry, disciple. If possible, I’ll definitely get you the Innate Pill!”

Qin Yang skillfully coaxed while excitedly opening to the first page, then quietly activated the Enlightenment Space.

He began scanning the pages.

Buzz!

The words between the lines seemed to come alive, rapidly entering his mind. Reading thousands of lines at a glance, he quickly grasped the general content of “Mutual Destruction with Heaven and Earth”.

A few seconds later.

After carefully savoring the entire book, Qin Yang couldn’t help but frown slightly and gasped sharply.

Hiss~

This book isn’t right!

It’s actually a self-detonation secret technique, specifically designed to perish together with enemies! Using one’s own Star Power as a fuse to ignite the physical body, erupting with several times, even ten times the lethal force.

“Are you telling me… this is called Mutual Destruction with Heaven and Earth?!”

After finishing the book, Qin Yang was speechless. He looked up at Li Qinghe, “What do you mean by this? Cursing your master to die early and be reincarnated sooner, is that it?”

“I… I didn’t!”

Li Qinghe was stunned, quickly waving her hands in denial.

“Didn’t? Your master now reasonably suspects you’re in cahoots with those self-detonation evil cults! Confess truthfully, have you joined the cult?!”

Qin Yang made a show of taking out his phone, dialing Xia He’s contact, casually joking: “Don’t think your master is isolated and helpless, I have connections in the Star Martial Police Department too, and I was recently promoted!”

Li Qinghe: “……”

……

……

Great Li Mountains.

The forest surged like an ocean, the scorching sun shone on emerald leaves, old tree branches stretched out, and waves of beast roars echoed in all directions.

“Heh heh……”

A Black-Robed Man hovered over the mountain peak, listening to the wild roars from the mountains.

Where his gaze fell.

Beneath in the pine forest, countless Star Beasts ran paying homage, tigers, snakes, insects, and birds, their ferocious heads bowed to the ground, as if declaring their submission to his sovereignty.

Buzz!

A strand of red light radiated outward from him in all directions.

Where the crimson light covered, the blood of the Star Beasts boiled. Instantly, more violent auras erupted, with fierce killing intent soaring to the sky!

“Children, freely release your natures!”

The Black-Robed Man listened to the howls of the Star Beasts around him, as if enjoying a symphony, his voice covering all directions, leading thousands of Star Beasts in furious roars.

Just then.

“Earth Venerable, your subordinate has important intelligence to report!”

A deep voice suddenly sounded, reaching the Black-Robed Man’s ears. The void cracked as another Black-Clad Man with slightly weaker aura stepped through the air to approach.

“What matter?”

“It’s regarding important affairs in Jianghai City.”

The messenger said quietly, “According to information from the city branch, last night Jianghai City experienced tremors, with strange celestial thunder phenomena appearing in the sky, and spring-like growth of plants on the ground, suspected to be disturbances of Law Power!”

“Law disturbances? Where’s the source?”

The Black-Robed Man frowned, speaking gravely, “I’m familiar with all potential powerhouses capable of breaking through to the Supreme Realm, and haven’t heard of any crossing borders……”

“Reporting to Earth Venerable! According to online information, the rumors vary, but they all point to one person.”The messenger tilted his head, gazing toward the city center. “The main news currently is all about the suspected breakthrough of Jianghai Sword God to the Supreme Realm!”

“Jianghai Sword God broke through?”

Hearing this, the Black-Robed Man frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. “Shouldn’t he have already reached the Supreme Realm long ago?”

Why…

After pondering for a moment.

He stopped dwelling on it, simply hovering above the forest with his hands behind his back, a cold smirk curling at the corners of his mouth.

“No matter. Daring to kill members of our Divine Sect—this person has already chosen the path to his death!”
