Villain Cultivator-Chapter 652 Miaomiao VS Sin Of Wrath (2)

Chapter 652 – Miaomiao VS Sin of Wrath (2)

Death Fortress Sword, the system skill that Miaomiao had obtained by merging random skills together was an ancient heritage sword style of the Jian Clan.

The Jian Clan long existed in the past before the Calamity of Players. At that time, they weren't a sword clan but an ordinary warrior clan, who were good at every type of weaponry.

When the first calamity occurred, they were the first to spearhead the players and stop their invasion. They managed to outlast the player's onslaught for years until the players grew too strong. Eventually, a player's party slaughtered most of the members of the Jian Clan and wiped out their planets.

Many cultivators from the clan changed their surnames and fled to the corner of the Heavenly Dao Universe. But one man chose to keep his surname.

That youth was a Heaven's Chosen genius of the Jian Clan, who had gone to request reinforcements from other gods. He vowed that he would avenge his fallen clansmen and comrades in the war.

The tragic experience gave him the drive to overcome his bottlenecks and harsh training. After being in seclusion for countless years, he came back for revenge.

Unfortunately, Mu-Nyang had already ended the calamity by the time the youth came out. The soon-to-be Jian Clan's ancestor was disappointed and detected that he vented his frustration and anger on Mu-Nyang.

But Mu-Nyang was too strong. The Jian Clan's ancestor was defeated, but the cat spared his life.

Losing the drive to pursue power or revenge, the Jian Ancestor went back to the desolated and destroyed planet to rebuild his clan. There, he passed down his newly created sword style, the Death Fortress Sword Style, to his descendants and servants.

However, The Jian Clan's Death Fortress Sword Style heavily relied on the practitioner's wide range of imagination, comprehension of the sword techniques, Sword Intent mastery, Sword Providence, spiritual roots, and foundation. Thus, weak cultivators wouldn't be able to utilize their true potential as they wouldn't be able to use a variety of stances and techniques.

In addition, each practitioner had a different understanding of the Death Fortress Sword's techniques. Some people believed that Word Formation alone was the core of the style. Some relied on its roots as a counter-style while some used it as a sure-fire way to slay their enemies. Even a few maniacs used them as a secondary method to fight against long-ranged cultivators.

As a result, the Death Sword Formation Style had so many variations, but nobody managed to comprehend the core of the style, which was why it was called the Death Fortress Sword.

…

Mu-Nyang gazed at Miaomiao with pride as he reminisce about the past 25 million times that he fought the Jian Clan's ancestor. Every loop, that swordsman used a different style and threatened Mu-Nyang's life. But because of the cat's extensive experience in combat, he defeated the Jian Ancestor every time.

Looking at Miaomiao's final form of Death Fortress Sword reminded him of how Jian Ancestor fought. In a good mood, Mu-Nyang explained to Kang Yan about the five forms of the sword style.

The first one was the most popular and flexible – The Word Formation. As the name implied, the sword practitioner could turn the word-formation into reality, which made this form famous. As long as the practitioner used the right word-formation at the right time, the result would be in the user's favor, such as Death, Restraint, Dispel, or Kill.

The second technique was the long-ranged technique. The practitioner could return beam-type attacks, projectile attacks, or spiritual attacks to the attackers by erecting array formations with their sword strikes. It was the second most sophisticated and complex technique to master. Still, many Jian clansmen deemed that as long as they could master the second form, they would be invincible under the Heavenly Dao as most cultivators prioritized long-ranged attacks over the closed-range ones.

The third form was purely for defensive purposes as the style's name – A Fortress. The practitioner could cladded their swords, katanas, sabers, blades, or even themselves with their Sword Providence Qi to make their weapons indestructible to Providence Domain's power. Then, the weapons became their ultimate shield, which could parry, deflect, or ward off any close-ranged strikes easily.

The fourth skill was the opposite of the third one as it centralized on attacking, aka Death Sword. Using the same principle as the third skill, practitioners could transform the indestructible trait of their powers into the force of destruction. By reversing the technique, no enemy's weapon would be able to block the absolute weapon of death, which could negate Providence Domain's Power and the opponent's Qi.

The last one was the most difficult form to master as the practitioner simply needed to merge every technique to create something new. And this was the final form of the style, that Miaomiao had been using.

"Miaomiao just used the fifth form by creating a hidden word-formation under his feet while he maintained the third and the fourth style at the same time, munya. But that brat is not very masterful at his craft, so he can only stay still and wait for a counterattack, munya!"

Hearing the explanation, Kang Yan was enlightened.

She flew away from the crowd and mimicked the sword style on her own.

WHOOM

Kang Yan instantly created a word-formation with the Plum Monarch in her hand. She tried to replicate the Formation of Death, and a hundred words "Death" appeared around her.

She shrieked as she didn't mean to use it on herself.

BOOM

Fortunately, many experts were nearby. Xu Chu instantly destroyed the formation and rescued the sword freak.

"Don't test it here. Test it inside Mao Miaomiao's dantian. It's safer in there."

"T-Thanks, senior."

"You should also keep watching him. You can learn more if you observe the fight instead of practicing it right now."

"Okay!"

The girls returned to the sealed dome to watch the fight.

…

While maintaining the kendo stance, word formations, counterattack arrays, indestructible aura, and aura of destruction, Miaomiao slowly approached Xie Tian's clone, waiting for the right opportunity.

The clone gazed at the Firecracker Saber. He frowned and got back into a sword stance.

Now, Xie Tian realized that Miaomiao could neutralize his providence domain law by either using Killer Queen's Great Dao or the complex sword art. He would not recklessly use his energy and tire himself out.

Miaomiao clicked his tongue when he noticed that Xie Tian became more cautious. He blamed the 1,000% difficulty buff as it enhanced the clone's intelligence, calmness, and flexibility.

Xie Tian was supposed to be the embodiment of Wrath. Yet, he didn't seem angry at all!

He was too cool-headed!

Since Miaomiao couldn't defeat Xie Tian by sitting and waiting, He changed his approach to bait for a certain skill.

"Xie Tian," Miaomiao pretended to talk to the clone.

"What?"

"I'm sorry."

Xie Tian was taken aback. He lowered his saber, "That's too late! You can ask for my forgiveness after death!"

"I didn't mean to apologize to you."

"Then, what?!"

Miaomiao grinned and reached out for a karma string, which was attached to Xie Tian's clone, "Sorry that I haven't played with your karma strings."

Xie Tian flinched for a moment. But he glanced at the hand of Miaomiao and smirked even though he couldn't see karma strings, "I know that you can't cut my karma string anymore. We're in the Chaos Realm outside of Heavenly Dao. No one can cut karma strings here! Nice bluff, you fool."

"Pfft. Why should I cut it when I can mark it?"

"Mark my karma?"

Miaomiao burst into laughter, "How na?ve, my boy! After I'm done with you and Pangu's little game, I can simply find you and hunt you down. I'll cripple your dantian as soon as you're born. I'll steal every woman you fall in love with, including your mother and sisters. I'll kill your father right in front of you before you can even speak the first word! If you happen to become a successful mortal, I'll strip your wealth and slaughter your friends and loved ones. After that, I'll take away everything you possess or kill everybody you care about and repeat the loop if you reincarnate again!"

The clone's expression changed. He glanced at the real Xie Tian, who was observing their fight from outside of the fireball eye's protection array domain.

The other Xie Tian outside the array also narrowed his eyes. His mentor acted like a typical antagonist in various stories, which was out of his dorky character.

Miaomiao was planning something, or he might be serious about this.

The clone noticed the gesture and believed that Miaomiao's threat might be real. He turned to his nemesis.

"Good. Since you made your resolve, I've also made mine! Your rampant ends here, Mao Miaomiao! Absolute Reset!"

Xie Tian used the ultimate move that all Time Gods could do – Going back to the past!

The light of the stars vanished. The air around him twisted and warped as if the entire universe was about to be sucked into his body.

This technique allowed Xie Tian to create an alternate timeline with the current timeline as the base. He would copy all events and simply create a new one, and he would be the only one with the memory of the previously destroyed timeline while this universe would be destroyed as a price for the skill activation!

This was how Kishin Douji and Devil had been transferring their memories and consciousnesses to the new universe. Even Xie Tian outside of the sealed dome was aware of this technique.

That was what the clone had thought.

Miaomiao leisurely folded his fingers. Then, he lowered his thumb as if he had pushed a switch in his hand.

"Killer Queen. Bite the Dust."

CLICK

Killer Queen cackled as the illusion of her humanoid form appeared in Xie Fan's pupils. Then, the twisted flow of the universe was reversed.

The time flow and the stability of the universe were instantly restored!

"WHAT?!"

The clone was dumbfounded. He had never seen anything like this!

In the next second, the clone's soul dantian and body started to crack and crumble like a broken sandcastle!

"NOOOOOOO!! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!! HOWWWWW?!!"

…

Xie Tian outside the dome widened his eyes. His pupils glittered as he admired Miaomiao's time law application and brilliant strategy.

He nodded, "I'm enlightened, master. So this is how you use your creativity in a fight between time users!"

The wives and several angels looked at Xie Tian in confusion. Joshua flew toward the latter and asked for guidance.

"Do you know what happened?"

Xie Tian pointed at the clone, "I'll make it short. First…"

He explained the theory behind the phenomenon.

First, the clone attempted to destroy the Heavenly Dao Universe to transfer his consciousness to the real body of Xie Tian of the alternate universe, which hadn't been created yet.

However, this technique was flawed. As the clone was created from Miaomiao's heart devil, his karma was tied with Miaomiao. As a result, had he successfully transferred his consciousness and will to the next timeline, Miaomiao would be there along with his old memory as well.

In addition, everybody was within the premise of the Chao Realm, not the Heavenly Dao Universe. All creatures in the Chaos Realm were not tied by the karma of Heavenly Dao Universe, and the timeline reset skills of Devil, Xie Tian, Kishin Douji, and Miaomiao could never affect them. On the other hand, the clone and Miaomiao would suffer from the backlashes as their consciousness and memory were pulled to the incomplete timeline.

As such, before the skill would end up failing and destroying both Miaomiao and the clone in the process, Miaomiao's Bite the Dust instantly destroyed the emerging timeline to send both their souls back here.

As the newly emerging timeline was incomplete, it was easier to be destroyed!

And lastly, as Miaomiao's completed his skill sequences first, the clone's skill couldn't be completed. As a result, Miaomiao escaped from suffering the punishment from the failed activation as his consciousness had returned to the old timeline.

And now, the clone would suffer a severe backlash for failing to destroy the entire Heavenly Dao Universe alone as the payback for the skill activation.

Hearing the explanation from Xie Tian, Joshua and others looked at Miaomiao in astonishment.

Since when had that doofus become so smart?!

BOOOOM!!

As soon as Xie Tian finished his explanation, the first clone was detonated and dissipated into dust.

Miaomiao cackled, "Calculated, bitch! I knew you would use the ultimate time skill!"
