Investiture of the Gods Xiao Sheng, the Poor Taoist Priest, Even Rogue Cultivators Have Human Rights

Chapter 173 Breaking through 48 levels of innate restrictions of the innate treasure!Chapter 173 Breaking through the forty-eight levels of innate restrictions of the innate treasure!

In the initial stage, Xiao Sheng made amazing progress, overcoming all obstacles along the way until he broke through to the 40th level of the innate restriction. However, when he set out to crack the 41st level, he encountered a huge obstacle.

The chain was extremely tough. Even if Xiao Sheng’s soul transformed into a heavenly sword, it could only cause a few sparks when it was cut.

”The defensive power of this innate restriction has been improved by more than one level!” Xiao Sheng was extremely surprised. It seemed that it was not easy to refine such an innate treasure. Now, only the 41st level of restriction was already making him feel difficult.

”Activate the power of the avenue!” Xiao Sheng shouted, urging the power of the avenue to enhance the power of the soul. In an instant, the light of the soul shone several times, and it slashed out again.

With a crisp click, a deep crack appeared on the chain.

Xiao Sheng was in high spirits and launched a series of thunder strikes. After 18000 fierce attacks, the innate restriction chain finally broke.

Afterwards, he followed the same method and continued to move forward, spending tens of thousands of years in the Hongmeng barrier and successfully cutting off the five innate restrictions.

However, when he tried to overcome the forty-seventh innate restriction, he found that he could no longer leave any trace on the chain.

”Am I really going to stop here?” Xiao Sheng was unwilling to give in. With his quasi-saintly perfect spiritual cultivation, he had already refined the 46 innate restrictions of the innate treasure. Even in front of the former Donghuang Taiyi, this achievement was enough to stand out from the crowd. However, Xiao Sheng was still dissatisfied with this.

After all, he was born from the root of a top-level Chaos Demon God and practiced the Nine Revolutions Profound Art secret manual. In terms of strength, he should surpass a strong man like Donghuang Taiyi!
”I must find a way to further enhance my spiritual power!” Xiao Sheng pondered over it. The talent and qualifications of a top-level Chaos Demon God made his wisdom reach an unprecedented level.

Finally, a flash of inspiration came to Xiao Sheng, making his eyes light up.

”I have comprehended the power of the Axe of Creation. Using the law of its power, it has boundless power. Even the Kunpeng Demon Master was chopped down by my axe!”

”Then, can we use the same principle to condense the spirit into the axe of creation, and use it to chop off the innate restriction?”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, so Xiao Sheng put it into practice immediately, mobilizing the power of his soul and trying to condense the image of an axe that would create the universe.

However, just as the outline of the giant axe began to take shape, it suddenly collapsed and exploded completely. Xiao Sheng’s soul suffered severe pain, as if it was cut into pieces by thousands of knives.

”what!”

He roared in anger, the pain was unbearable, the feeling was more terrifying than having his limbs broken, because it was the pain of his soul being shattered!
Fortunately, Xiao Sheng’s soul power is extremely strong, and even if it is broken, it can be reborn quickly. If it were another cultivator, it would probably take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to recover.

”It’s too dangerous. Previously, I used the power of the laws of heaven and earth to drive the axe that created the universe, and gathered endless spiritual energy to perform it. Now that there is no spiritual energy as a medium, it cannot be carried by the power of the soul alone.”

Souls are the essence of life, containing memories and wisdom, and are extremely delicate. A slight damage will cause a huge impact. Ordinary cultivators are unwilling to fight with their souls.

And what Xiao Sheng did at this moment was tantamount to throwing his most sensitive and fragile soul into the most fierce and intense battle. This was nothing short of madness!

However, when he stood up again, there was a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Although this method is dangerous, he firmly believes that as long as he persists, even if it is full of dangers, one day he will be able to truly condense the Soul Axe, and then he will be able to break those restrictions again.

”try again!”

Xiao Sheng’s eyes were determined. In this turbulent and chaotic era, strength was the foundation for survival. How could he give up easily because of a small setback?
If you can refine the supreme innate treasure, the benefits will be immeasurable. You must persevere no matter what!
boom!
He once again urged the power of the laws of heaven and earth to condense into shape, but it exploded instantly. However, this time the explosion lasted slightly longer than before, showing a slight improvement. After all, Xiao Sheng was a descendant of the top Chaos Devil God, with rare talents in the world. He could learn lessons from failure after failure, and make progress every time.

Boom boom boom! !
He was tenacious, and his soul kept shattering and reassembling, but he made some progress each time. Although the whole process went smoothly, it was also heartbreaking - the pain of a shattered soul was the most horrific torture in the world.

Moreover, the huge amount of resources required for each recovery also made Xiao Sheng feel stressed. Fortunately, his world seed contained countless spiritual root treasures, including some innate top-grade items, so the resource loss was still within a controllable range.

boom!
After the soul was shattered three thousand six hundred times, a huge axe condensed from the soul finally appeared. It exuded a terrifying aura that shook the earth, sweeping across the space and time within the entire Cauldron of Creation.

”Success!”

Xiao Sheng was ecstatic. This training journey was undoubtedly the most painful one for him, but the gains were equally amazing.

Not only did he successfully condense the Soul Axe of Creation, he could also feel that his own soul seemed to have become more resilient.

”cut!”

Then, Xiao Sheng fixed his eyes on the forty-seventh level of innate restriction chain. The axe of creation transformed from his soul shone with billions of sacred rays of light. Its power increased to the extreme, and it was swung out swiftly.

boom!
The unusually tough forty-seventh-level innate restriction chain was unable to hold out for long and broke with a single strike.

However, the axe that created the world also shattered.

Obviously, it is still extremely difficult to break the restrictions of this innate treasure.

But this did not discourage Xiao Sheng. He used up all his rare spiritual roots to restore his soul to its peak state. He then faced the forty-eighth level of innate restriction chains and attacked again, wielding the Axe of Creation.

boom!
This time, the first strike only left a tiny mark on the chain, but was unable to shake its foundation fundamentally. Compared with the previous restriction, the difficulty was obviously increased.

”It seems that I still need more patience to polish it.” Xiao Sheng shook his head helplessly, but his eyes became more and more determined. He concentrated the Axe of Creation again and again, and swung it hard at the forty-eighth forbidden chain.

boom! boom! boom!
After experiencing a full 10,800 violent attacks, the 48th layer of the innate restriction chain finally couldn’t bear the weight and completely broke. At this time, only the last chain was left in the Cauldron of Fortune...

After Xiao Sheng woke up and rebuilt his strength, he once again refined the Tiangang Zanpaku Axe which contained the power of his soul.

However, this time, when the axe light was just slightly close to the last layer of the mysterious restriction, the restriction suddenly burst out with a dazzling light that shocked the universe, and rushed over like a raging wave, instantly shattering his Tiangang Zanpaku Axe. The severe pain made Xiao Sheng roar to the sky, and then he fainted.

Time flies, and after countless cycles of the sun, moon and stars, Xiao Sheng slowly woke up from his coma, only to find that his soul was already shattered and the pain was deep in his bones.

However, with his indomitable willpower, he endured the severe pain, and struggled to search for the scattered fragments of his soul, and gathered them back in place one by one.

For the next thousand years, within the boundless Hongmeng barrier, he remained motionless like a fossil, and finally, after exhausting countless time, he successfully restored his soul to its former peak state.
