Chapter 115 - Leaving the Rife!
The crimson light fell from the sky, and then a large explosion occurred—it consumed more than one kilometer in radius.
BOOM!!!
Countless Palm Qi shot forward like a meteor shower, moving horizontally and destroying everything in their path.
PAK!!! PAK!!! PAK!!!
A large crimson sword slashed through a group of ten thousand God Spawns in one swift strike. The earth shattered, and space itself was almost torn apart.
SHINGG!!!

GARRRRRRR!!!
GARRR!!!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!
Surrounded by countless God Spawns, Hengsheng swiftly moved his hands and circulated his Qi to perform a technique.
Hundreds of Sword Qi manifested around Hengsheng as he used both hands to command them, the Sword Qi swirling around him like two dragons made of blades.
The twin dragon Sword Qi surged through the group of God Spawns, like a raging tornado, annihilating every single one of the God Spawns that obstacle their path!
Hengsheng's expression was satisfied since he just discovered his talent. This talent was due to the existence of the Divine Spirit Core—he called it Innate Qi Manipulation!
This talent was the thing that set Divine-grade Spirit Core holders apart from other cultivators entirely.
He discovered this talent while he was killing God Spawns. Even though their number was large, they were very weak compared to him.
He was killing them like he was walking in the park—super relaxed and loose-minded. This led him to think about how to kill them faster and in a more badass way.
So he started by altering his original technique to make them capable of killing many at once. It worked very well—the World Shatter Palm altered and became divided into a thousand small attacks that struck the God Spawns like a meteor shower.
At that moment, he realized he had quite an easy time altering the technique, finding the new Qi pathway, and forming a Qi construct as if it were a natural process, without any guidance from any source—it was entirely his own capability.
He was never capable of doing this before if not counting using the system—until he had the Divine Spirit Core!
Then he continued to prove his assumption by altering other techniques to make them work his idea.
The process was smooth, It took some time, even though he was able to make everything work, but he mostly succeeded in creating an altered version of his own techniques.
The Qi Surge Cannon could take many shapes, whether it be a cube, weapon, or even a beast.
The Heaven's Fist Pulse reduced its form and strength but enhanced his every fist move with the Qi pulse.
The Horizon Shift technique no longer crossed a large distance—with the altered version, he made it so that he could semi-teleport a short distance.
After that, he tried to create a new technique, like the Twin Dragon Sword Qi technique, that he was now performing.
It was much more challenging to create a new technique entirely than to alter an already complete one, Eventually, he succeeded.
Even though this technique was weak compared to his other techniques and lacked a proper foundation, he sensed that he could improve it if he had more time.
"So this is why Divine Spirit Core holders are considered geniuses without any testing—they're already born with that quality," Hengsheng murmured.
GAARRR!
Hengsheng waves his hand sending the powerful Qi waves to annihilate incoming God Spawns.
Ding!
…
Hengsheng gazed at his system panel, his lips curved upward because he had become super rich. With this amount of System Points, many things could be done.
He wanted to continue slaughtering these God Spawns forever, as they were like an infinite source of resources.
Unfortunately, he could not, since he needed to get out of here before Jian Zixuan brought the five seals together and used them to close the rift.
He gazed at the clock in the system panel.
"It's already 3 hours since Jian Zixuan had left with the seals…" Hengsheng murmured.
GARRR!!
Hengsheng conjured a large crimson blade and slashed it through the annoying God Spawns.
Shing!
'I should leave now,' Hengsheng thought. It was about time Jian Zixuan warned him to leave.
Before leaving he wants to deliver one last attack.
Hengsheng floated high into the sky from the ground, gazing at the ground below.
Countless God Spawns were swarming toward his direction. Some tried to jump, but they could not reach him, since they were obstructed by the invisible wall that Hengsheng had placed.
"My strongest move…" Hengsheng thought, while his Divine artifact glowed with green light.
A green energy ball of Wood Qi appeared around his hand, followed by Fire Qi, Earth Qi, Metal Qi, and Water Qi.
These five types of Qi spun around his hand, moving in harmony and resonance.
The cycle of five phases formed, appearing as a small pentagon wheel glowing with the white transparent Qi that rotated above Hengsheng's palm.
Hengsheng directed his palm down toward the God Spawns swarm's direction.
He uttered the spell, "Cycle of Destruction."
At that moment, the pentagon wheel stopped rotating and emitted a powerful aura of Dao, sending a wave of destruction spreading across the vast distance covered more than a ten-kilometer radius.
The destruction wave was transparent and calm like a breeze, yet deadly.
The God Spawns that the destruction wave passed through began to stop moving and slowly disintegrated, turning them into dust instantly.
Ding!
…
Ding!
…
Countless system notices rang in Hengsheng's head. His gaze was fixed on the system panel as he enjoyed watching the System Points increase at a rapid rate.
System Points: 416,345,500 SP.
+800 SP!
+900 SP!
…
This move he killed more than a hundred thousand of God Spawn at once!
Hengsheng closed the system panel, not wanting his greed to put him in any more danger.
He was leaving now.
Unlike when he entered the rift, he didn't need to leave through the rim—he could simply soar upward through the blue mist and emerge above the rift.
Hengsheng soared upward. He sensed the space was more distorted up here, as the distance didn't match his calculations, but he continued rising through the blue mist.
As he passed through it, he noticed the blue mist growing denser—almost like a cloud.
Soon, he saw the golden light of the Secret Land's sky in the distance. He soared faster, eager to leave the rift quickly.
Hengsheng emerged above the rift, leaving the blue mist below him.
"Hahaha… I thought some nonsense like an unknown enemy would pop up the moment I left. Looks like I was just overthinking it," he muttered to himself.
Hengsheng, in mid-air, observed his surroundings. He noticed something—the space between the bamboo and metal forest territories was slowly moving closer, and at the same time, the rift was also beginning to shrink. The process was slow, but still noticeable.
"At this rate, around 30 minutes before the rift is closed," Hengsheng muttered.
He observed a bit longer to ensure he didn't miss anything, then turned toward the metal forest, about to leave this place.
"I should've asked for more reward—Yunsu and I did all the work. Jian Zixuan was completely useless," Hengsheng muttered before flying forward.
However, before he could leave the area where the rift was located, Hengsheng felt his right foot grabbed by something.
"What?!" Hengsheng was shocked because his Divine Sense could not detect this sudden event before it happened!
He reacted immediately, using great force to try and break free from whatever had seized him—something he hadn't even sensed with his Divine Sense.
But he couldn't move. Whatever had grabbed his foot was holding on tightly.
Hengsheng looked down to see what it was—and what he saw horrified him. His foot was being held by a human hand made of blue mist!
He quickly released a Qi blast to destroy the misty hand, but the Qi blast simply passed through it, causing no reaction.
Hengsheng sensed the misty hand was pulling him back into the rift!
His expression turned to horror, but he quickly steeled his heart and acted—he cut off his right foot without hesitation.
Thuck!
He quickly fled; he didn't even bother to stop the bleeding.
"Damn it!" Hengsheng cursed. This was the second time he had lost a foot and the third time he had lost a limb. This secret realm kept making him lose limbs from time to time.
'Am I cursed?' Hengsheng thought.
Hengsheng flew through the air, almost out of the rift territory, when suddenly the surroundings turned dark, as if the sun were being covered.
Hengsheng looked up to see what had happened.
What he saw was the gigantic misty hand covering the sky, reaching down toward him.
"Oh, crap!" Hengsheng cursed before everything went black.
