Another Cliché Cultivation Story

“You!”

Di Shi grew solemn seeing Ji Xian easily smack away his hammer. He had already surpassed the Holy realm and entered into the Divine, becoming a Saint.

This realm represented a transformative change from mortal to divinity. It was not unusual for geniuses to fight and defeat beings in a higher realm. But no matter how much of a genius one is, someone in the Holy realm can't defeat someone in the Saint realm because there was a limit to how strong one could be down here!

Xia Lihua, unarguably one of the most talented geniuses the Mortal Haven World had ever seen, was defeated by Di Shi in two moves. If it weren’t for the fact that the Universal Will was still restricting his cultivation method and Divine Arts, destroying this World would've been easy.

A being who had stepped into Divinity is extremely destructive in the Lower World, this was why the restrictions on them were so severe. For beings beyond Divinity, no amount of Heavenly Merits would allow them to step foot into the Lower World.

Di Shi looked at this otherworldly man in front of him.

He dealt with an attack at the Saint realm level with a casual sweep of his hand. Is he also someone from the Upper World? Why won’t the Universal attack him if he is beyond the Holy realm?

Questions filled his head and he couldn’t answer any of them.

His expression turned gloomy, he dared not underestimate his opponent. He conjured another body of water in the sky and formed a hand sign. Unsurprisingly, it formed into another hammer identical to the previous two times.

Ji Xian’s eyebrow twitched looking at the familiar weapon.

This idiot isn’t going to use the same move again, is he? Looks like the remaining amount of Heavenly Merit on him isn't allowing him to do much.

He remained silent as Di Shi touched the handle of the hammer. The hammer vibrated intensely. Sweat appeared on his forehead. The hammer contracted until it became two and a half meters tall. The originally large hammer that covered the sky had shrunk down to a tenth of its size.

It had become much more robust. A gentle swing could split the sky and part the sea!

Ji Xian looked on unimpressed. The Nether race on the side watching had a different thought.

As expected of Di Shi, worthy of his title as an Absolute.

He’s able to condense the Nether Water with his cultivation restricted!

The Nether Water is outrageously dense and heavy, to be able to shrink it to that height, his control over it is insane!

Di Shi held the hammer with two hands. It looked comically big but not as exaggerated as before. He tightened his grip on the handle before turning into a black mist, instantly getting carried away by the wind. He materialized behind Ji Xian quietly and swung!

It looked to be one swing but Ji Xian has attacked thousands of times.

The attacks landed on Ji Xian and caused a big explosion shaking

Di Shi narrowed his eyes. He understood that this won’t end so easily. Suddenly, he turned, looking behind him just in time to see Ji Xian quietly materialize from a cloud of black mist.

“Who are you!?” Di Shi asked again In shock after seeing Ji Xian copy his movement technique.

Ji Xian smiled, his eyes shining with a clear subtle light.

“I told you, I’m just a hero saving a bunch of old men in distress.”

Di Shi cursed at Ji Xian.

That’s different from what you said last time!

The Ancestors looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Old Men?Us?

“The black water that you wield is quite interesting, is that from your bloodline? Or is it your cultivation method, I wonder?” Ji Xian asked glancing at the hammer in Di Shi’s hands.

He closed his eyes, and hundreds of thousands of simulations flashed in his mind. Ji Xian waved his hand and a pillar of water rose from the ocean. From the top, a hint of black invaded the water before it began to spread to the rest of the body. In the blink of an eye, the pillar of water became entirely black.

“Looks like it’s from your cultivation method,” he said casually.

“Impossible!” the Nether race’s jaw dropped. What Ji Xian had just done made them question everything they knew.

Di Shi’s heart was racing. Ji Xian has managed to turn normal water into Nether Water. This skill came from their cultivation method that only members of the Nether race knew. He didn't believe for a second that someone taught Ji Xian this skill, it was forbidden to do so and there would be deadly consequences if it was spread to outsiders.

“Who are you!?” screamed Di Shi, asking for the third time.

Ji Xian ignored him and silently observed the black water in front of him.

Hmm, this doesn’t look as pure and heavy as the water that Di Shi conjured. Is it because of the difference in bloodline? Shame... I can't do anything about that.

He closed his eyes once more, and hundreds of thousands of simulations flashed in his mind. Unfortunately, he still couldn’t find the answer.

He performed a hand sign and the pillar of black water in front of him formed into a hammer. He grabbed the handle and swung around playfully. He looked at Di Shi and gave him a wink. He dissipated into black mist and appeared behind Di Shi without a sound and swung downwards at him.

A familiar attack. With one swing, thousands of attacks concentrated at Di Shi.

“Hmph! Using my move against me!?” Di Shi dissipated and appeared a distance away.

He mockingly grinned at Ji Xian only to see Ji Xian giving him another wink. The hair on the back of his neck raised, and he instinctively looked above him. In the sky, a gigantic hammer had materialized and swung down at him.

His eyes widened

So fast!

Boom!

Di Shi spewed a mouthful of blood and slammed into the ocean.

The Ancestors watching from the side at a distance quietly gulped. The battle between Ji Xian and Di Shi was incredibly destructive. Each attack caused the planet to fiercely shake while causing space to distort and tear.

The Nether race was still dazed seeing Ji Xian wield the Nether Water. At the same time, it was weird to see Ji Xian using the Divine Arts from the Nether race.

With a splash, Di Shi flew out of the ocean and into the sky. A huge chunk of his helmet had fallen off and blood-stained parts of his cracked armor.
