Chapter 517 The Path of Ruthlessness is Not Truly Ruthless and Loveless
"What are you still standing there for! Hurry up and let's go!"
Jin Litong hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Jin Ming's hand and fled the place. In no time, Jin Ming brought him into Meng Sang's formation.
"Array?!"
"Stop having doubts, quickly recover your spiritual energy, and then come help us fight off the insectoids!"
"There's a problem in this training space. We all have to join forces to fight these strange insectoids to have any chance of survival!"
Without further hesitation, Jin Litong immediately sat down on the ground to recover her spiritual energy.
******
A training space for Nascent Soul cultivators.
Xia Ning possesses the Frost-Piercing Body and the Heavenly Ice Spiritual Root. As a sword cultivator, she specializes in the ancient Frost Sword Technique. Although her cultivation level is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, her true strength has long surpassed that of the peak Nascent Soul stage, allowing her to contend with ordinary mid-stage Void Refinement cultivators.
Su Yang's physical body and soul are both at the peak of the Mahayana stage, and her actual cultivation level is at the peak of the Tribulation stage.
With the two working together, the Zerg that attacked them were quickly routed.
Around the two, disgusting dark green blood splattered, interspersed with the constant, mournful chirping of insects.
Swarms of Zerg corpses littered the area around them. Then, Su Yang glanced at the surrounding corpses with disgust and set them all on fire, turning them into ashes.
However, apart from Xia Ning and Su Yang, none of the other Nascent Soul cultivators in this Nascent Soul training space possessed the formidable strength of Xia Ning and Su Yang.
Virtual Zerg spawned continuously within the space, and real Zerg that had infiltrated launched attacks against them.
In an instant, almost everyone inside the space was on the verge of collapse, and some of the weaker individuals were seriously injured and on the verge of death.
However, at that moment, Xia Ning gripped her spirit sword tightly and her figure flashed suddenly.
When Su Yang saw Xia Ning again, she discovered that Xia Ning had gone to rescue other cultivators who were on the verge of collapse.
Su Yang was somewhat puzzled upon seeing this.
She is a selfish person, and someone who values personal gain.
She won't do anything or anyone that has nothing to do with her unless there's enough benefit to entice her.
Since Xia Ning cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness, shouldn't she be even more indifferent to these people?
Immediately afterwards, Xia Ning suddenly sent a telepathic message to Su Yang.
"Junior sister, hurry and save them!"
"Senior sister, what do their lives or deaths have to do with us? We just need to take care of ourselves, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Ning frowned slightly. "Junior Sister, they are also living beings, our fellow citizens of the Canglan Realm! Now that they are facing a formidable enemy and are in danger, I cannot stand by and watch them die!"
"Senior sister, aren't you cultivating the...ruthless path?"
"The Path of Ruthlessness? Junior Sister's understanding of the Path of Ruthlessness is far too narrow! I, Xia Ning, cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, but I am not truly cold-hearted and ruthless."
"The Path of Ruthlessness is not about being truly ruthless, but about cultivating great love by discarding petty emotions and affections!"
"Moreover, they are also the backbone of our Canglan Realm's future resistance against the Zerg. If they are slaughtered by these Zerg who have infiltrated the space now, wouldn't our Canglan Realm be at a greater disadvantage in the future struggle against the Zerg?"
After Xia Ning finished speaking, she did not send any more telepathic messages to Su Yang.
Her body was surrounded by icy coldness, and endless icy sword light raged. Half an hour later, all the insectoids around her were killed by Xia Ning!
Then she moved to the next location and continued rescuing people and killing insects...
At this moment, Su Yang stood still, somewhat confused.
"Heartless? Utterly loving..."
Su Yang believed that she could not do what Xia Ning did.
She had no grand love for the world in her heart; the most important thing in this world was herself.
She wanted to become even stronger, so strong that no one in the world would dare to bully her anymore.
Although Su Yang did not understand the Path of Ruthlessness that Xia Ning cultivated, she gained a deeper understanding from Xia Ning's explanation of the Path of Ruthlessness.
Moreover, she hasn't even clearly defined her own path yet!
What is her path...?
Suddenly, the old tree's voice rang in Su Yang's ears.
"Master, the Goddess of Life, governs the lives of all living beings in the world. While she bestows life upon living beings, she can also take it away from them."
"To ascend to the throne of the God of Life, one must not only seize life, but also... save lives..."
"Although you do not wish to save other people's lives without good reason, in order to obtain the divine inheritance of the God of Life, kindness and compassion for all living beings are essential."
Even...hypocrisy...is still good!
"As long as one can gain the approval of the previous God of Life, the possibility of ascending to the top of the divine position is very high."
“Ever since you last dreamt of the God of Life waking up, I’ve sensed something is wrong with your body.”
"Until just now, I finally discovered that life patterns have been born within your soul."
Su Yang asked in confusion, "Life Mark?"
"This is the sign of the God of Life, which means that the God of Life has begun to silently and gradually acknowledge the master."
"As far as I know, other inheritors of the Life Source haven't reached this level yet!"
After hearing these words, Su Yang fell into deep thought.
"Hypocrisy...?"
The next moment, Su Yang moved.
Instantly, the area within dozens of miles centered on Su Yang was transformed into a sea of fire interwoven with gold and white!
Divine fire fills the sky, purifying the mortal realm!
In an instant, the insectoids within a ten-mile radius were all reduced to ashes by the sea of fire.
Countless three-legged golden crows and phantom images of the Vermilion Bird emerged from the sea of fire.
Their aura was terrifying and exceptionally powerful, their bodies engulfed in flames.
Then, they swarmed to various parts of the space to help the cultivators who were fighting the insectoids.
The cultivators, already overwhelmed, watched with gratitude as the insectoid race before them was instantly consumed by this inexplicably generated divine fire.
"I... am saved..."
"..."
With the addition of Su Yang and Xia Ning, the scales of victory began to tip. As time passed, the cultivators gained the upper hand in the battle within the Nascent Soul training space.
Xia Ning looked at the divine fire burning wildly in the space, and her gaze towards Su Yang changed slightly.
"No wonder my brother treated you differently after he came out of seclusion..."
Xia Ning could clearly see that although the power Su Yang was using appeared to be at the Nascent Soul level, it was still a powerful force.
But its true power is probably far beyond the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
The spiritual fire she used was no ordinary spiritual fire; it was suspected to be celestial fire or even the legendary...divine fire?
Her true strength should far exceed the apparent peak of the Nascent Soul stage!
In just a few short years, Su Yang's growth rate was even faster than hers!
Outside the training space.
In a dark corner, a venomous gaze was fixed on Su Yang, who was shining brightly on the light screen of the Nascent Soul training space.
Ji Ruyan's intuition told her that although her strength was comparable to Su Yang's, she was no match for that bitch Su Yang!
