Celestial Emperor 2
Ch. 598 - Pillar of the Dao of Massacre

This blood-red pillar emitted an extremely terrifying and incredible dao energy. This pillar was also the embodiment of the dao that Qin Shan had cultivated all his life.

The instant the pillar appeared, the space above the spiritual sea instantly turned into countless sword slashes. Apparently, this invisible sword slash would continue to form forever without stopping once.

This event caused endless terror in the hearts of the Qin Shan followers who were on Lotus Island. They stared at the distant ocean there and nearly fainted from it, truly a terrifying and boundless energy!

Even Qin Shan was also shocked when he experienced all of this. He stared at the blood-red pillar within his spiritual sea and his body trembled violently. Dao of Massacre, that pillar turned out to be the embodiment of the slaughter dao!

Qin Shan was flabbergasted, he closed his mouth and could not believe what he was seeing now. He acknowledged that he had been carrying out countless massacres, but was all that enough to bring about a new Dao? He hurriedly grabbed the Path To Immortal God booklet and searched for information regarding the blood-red Pillar.

“Completing the cultivation cycle of the Nine Paths of Opportunity in full, the True Dao manifests, the Dao Pillar Towards Merger.” Qin Shan read the sentence with a puzzled expression. He did not understand what the sentence meant until he added the word 'Mixing' in it.

“Forget it,” Qin Shan said as he closed his eyes. “Something like this may not be known to me yet. Now more important is 'Understanding Yourself'.”

Qin Shan kept the Path to Immortal God booklet and began to cultivate back. Now he had already stopped doing the Kilas Behind Cultivation. Doing so is only to understand its power more deeply, not at all to increase its strength. However, it was thanks to this that Qin Shan was able to utilize his strength even better than before.

Of the several Dao he cultivated, it turned out that there were only three of them who had been at the Grand Dao stage. The Sword Dao, Dao Array, and Demon Dao. From a long time ago, Qin Shan had indeed realized that he had been on the verge of the enlightenment of the Grand Dao. So it was no wonder the Sword Dao, as well as its Dao Array had not improved at all for several hundred years. Moreover, Qin Shan was quite surprised when he realized his Demon Dao had also reached the Grand Dao stage.

“That for sure is due to the tremendous improvement on the Sacred Martial Art of Fiendgod Sealing Art. Because of this, the Demon Dao I cultivated became extremely powerful and managed to reach Grand Dao.” Qin Shan muttered as he stared fixedly at the Dao Pillar within his Spiritual Sea.

In addition to all of that, what was even more shocking was the appearance of the Dao Pillar of Massacre. This Dao of Slaughter was literally different from the 'Dao of Slaughter' in general. The Dao of Massacre was the embodiment of the senseless slaughter of countless living beings. The Dao of Massacre is also the embodiment of violence and cruelty when killing a race indiscriminately.

At first Qin Shan did not have this kind of Dao at all, but because he had managed to go through the Nine Paths of Opportunity cycle he was given an opportunity by the Dao of The Heavens to realize his True Dao. In other words, the Dao of Massacre was a dao that reflected Qin Shan's own self and actions.

Qin Shan stared at the Dao Pillar of Massacre and watched the fluctuations of death energy in the surroundings manifest into countless sword slashes. He was now understanding his own Dao...

When this happens, the 105 Qin Shan meridians begin to circulate with a craze. 105 small circulatory pathways begin to merge and form a large circulation pathway. In just a single breath, it had absorbed a terrifying amount of Elemental Energy.

Time passed and flowed like water. The days passed quickly in the cave. Drop by drop of water falling from the ceiling of the cave slowly formed a small basin on the rock where the water droplets fell. It doesn't feel like more than seven years have passed.

Today it had already entered its eighth year since Qin Shan entered the Third Examination Island. And it is the 38th year since he came to the Oblique Deep Ocean. As decades passed in this place, Qin Shan's strength increased bit by bit. Although it is slow, but the increase is a sure thing.

At this moment, Qin Shan could feel a refreshing energy coming at him, his entire body trembling as this energy came and penetrated into him. A new inspiration to perfect his Sacred Martial Art Fiendgod Sealing Art had appeared and was captured by his Spiritual Will.

“So so..” The calm Qin Shan opened his eyes. “Forgotten Soul has a very concentrated Yin energy, so that the ghost cannot be attacked using any technique I have. Now I have a way to overcome them all.” Qin Shan smiled in a strange way and he immediately perfected the inspiration he had just obtained.

After successfully refining the inspiration for several weeks, Qin Shan finally rose from his cultivation for eight years with a bright face. He then waved his hand and an invisible energy began to appear from there.

“With this technique I will be able to eliminate all the ghosts that are up there and advance to the next Examination Island. I'll call this technique 'Forbidden to Ghost'!” Qin Shan then pointed his finger upwards and shot out an extremely terrifying sword beam.

*bomm!!* The cave exploded, the very deep well also began to collapse as a result of Qin Shan's attack. The sound of the explosion was even too loud that it could be heard all over the island. Then in just less than ten breaths, over twenty thousand ghosts had come to this place!

*grooooo!!* All the ghosts shouted in a terrible voice as they looked at Qin Shan's figure darting out from within the ground. They did not even wait for the reaction from Qin Shan and directly charged forward blindly.

Above the sky, a golden-colored pagoda suddenly appeared. Then, thousands of tendrils filled with a terrifying mouth started to dart out from there. It was too late for the ghosts to retreat and save themselves from the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods, the magical treasure was too fast and so greedy that it could devour over a thousand ghosts in a single breath.

*bomm!! Bomm!* The Mainland suddenly shook violently as countless ghosts began to mount a combined attack and launched rays of darkness with terrifying power to obliterate the entire land!

The successive explosions occurred for quite some time, in just less than a single stick of incense to burn, a land area of millions of kilometers instantly shattered into dust. So terrifying was the attack, even if viewed from above the sky, an enormous black-colored hole would appear in the middle of the island.

Qin Shan who was currently still holding on and flying above the sky felt extremely annoyed. Apparently, these ghosts had been waiting for him to come out of hiding for years. When he came out, these ghosts would launch a combined attack that was more than enough to kill several Supreme Heavenly G.o.ds. Unfortunately, Qin Shan was not as weak as they thought.

For centuries, Qin Shan had forged his body with the Mortalgod Body Refining technique until he reached the point where the destruction of a planet would not harm him too much. He currently possessed an extremely powerful body, a level 8 God Body!

“Your attacks are not even enough to scratch my skin. How could you think that you would be able to kill me with such a ludicrous attack?” Qin Shan said with pride.

Right now, there were already over fifty thousand ghosts gathered in this place, all of them became furious upon witnessing how arrogant the humans were in front of them. They all let out deafening shrill sounds as several tens of thousands of them charged towards Qin Shan.

When this happened, Qin Shan had already prepared with tens of thousands of tendrils from the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods. Unlike the previous few years, now the ghosts did not seem to be too afraid anymore of this magical treasure.

Just before the ghosts started attacking at full force, suddenly nine rays of light shot out over the sky and arrived before Qin Shan at lightning speed. The nine rays turned out to be ghosts with extremely high strength.

Moments after the arrival of the nine great-powered ghosts, tens of thousands of other ghosts instantly retreated and moved away as quickly as possible. They looked terrified as they stared at the nine ghosts who were currently standing before Qin Shan.

“Host Full of Revenge!! They all gathered in this place!” inside Lotus Island, Ji Zhufei cried out in shock and he felt his heart break. A single rank nine Grief Full Ghost alone was already extremely terrifying to him. But now, all the Revengeful Ghosts present on this island had gathered in one moment to besiege Qin Shan!

Qin Shan was also shocked due to the sudden arrival of the Revengeful Ghosts. However, now he was not Qin Shan seven years ago. He now had the Forbidden to Ghost technique and felt very confident about winning this fight.

Qin Shan waved his hand and Jiuhua Sword had been in his grasp. Then he immediately applied the monstrous energy from the Forbidden to Ghost technique into it. He then said in a voice filled with arrogance that seemed to be able to cover the sky,

“Majulah the adorable ghosts. One against nine? No problem, I will eliminate all of you with one slash.”
