237: Chapter 237 Nourishing the Spirit, Many Children Bring Many Blessings

The heart of greed is not only the source of power for the Obsession of Greed, but also the core of the Restrictions for the entire Reverse Demon Tower.

Chu Sheng saw through this point.

Those golden patterns spreading from the walls, floor, and dome were each connected to the heart of greed, like blood vessels connected to a heart.

If the heart of greed were severed, the Restrictions of the entire tower would be paralyzed.

Meanwhile, the Stomach of Gluttony was still consuming the heart of greed; the two forces had been consuming each other for thousands of years and had both weakened.

The Devilish Qi of Gluttony was water without a source, diminishing with every use; Greed relied on the Reverse Demon Tower for a continuous supply, but after being gnawed on by Gluttony for thousands of years, it was no better off.

Chu Sheng made a prompt decision: there can be no construction without destruction.

He would directly detonate the remaining power of the Stomach of Gluttony to blast open the defenses of the heart of greed.

He looked at Yu Rumeng, and without hesitation, she fully activated the Inheritance of Wrath.

Scarlet Devilish Qi surged from her body, lunging like a fire dragon toward the location of the Stomach of Gluttony.

The Stomach of Gluttony was detonated.

The entire Reverse Demon Tower trembled as black, scarlet, and golden lights intertwined, resembling the apocalypse.

The core area fell into chaos, and the chains wrapped around Feng Wa's Physical Body snapped one by one, exposing the heart of greed.

Chu Sheng did not hesitate; the zhu xian sword unsheathed, setting up an imperfect sword formation.

Dark golden Sword Qi covered the area above the heart of greed like a net from heaven and earth, trapping it firmly.

Sword Qi crisscrossed within the sword formation, and every strike left a deep crack on the surface of the heart of greed.

"Now is the time!"

Chu Sheng released that wisp of Phoenix Immortal Fire.

Greed was heavily damaged; countless cracks appeared on the surface of the beating heart, and golden blood seeped from the cracks, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound.

Chu Sheng was heavily injured by the backlash from the heart of greed. When attacked, the heart of greed would release a backlash force that struck directly at his Divine Soul, feeling as if someone were hitting his head with a hammer.

Gritting his teeth, he did not let go; instead, he seized the opportunity to frantically absorb the pure Devilish Qi dissipating from the core.

It was the essence accumulated over thousands of years, released when the heart of greed was shattered.

The Dao-Seeking Fortune chimed automatically in his Dantian, and melodious bell sounds echoed within his body, helping him stabilize his mind.

The Bottleneck of the Late Stage of Palace Building shattered under the impact of the Devilish Qi, and his cultivation began to advance toward Spirit Nurturing.

But Greed used a Divine Ability once again.

Snake Swallows All Phenomena.

This time it was more violent than before; golden light surged from the heart of greed, transforming into a giant snake shadow that opened its mouth to swallow Chu Sheng, forcibly interrupting his Breakthrough.

The phoenix ring shattered; a Heaven Rank Low Grade one-time Nirvana opportunity was triggered at this moment, and the ring turned into fragments and scattered.

A golden light surged from the fragments, enveloping Chu Sheng and blocking the fatal blow for him.

The golden light dissipated; Chu Sheng was still alive, but the phoenix ring was gone. He had already died once.

The connection to the zhu xian sword was forced to break, and the sword fell from the air, embedding itself in the ground.

The voice of Greed surged from all directions, filled with smugness: "A good sword, a good sword."

"Then from now on, Greed is the Dominator."

The Devilish Qi of Gluttony was water without a source, diminishing with every use, while Greed relied on the Reverse Demon Tower for a continuous supply.

This was a desperate situation within a desperate situation.

Chu Sheng asked the Old Grandfather, and the Old Grandfather was silent for a long time. "There really is no way out."

"Just wait for death."

Chu Sheng said no.

In the last simulation, he was backstabbed by Arrogance in the Demon Tomb; was he going to die at the hands of the Heavenly Demon Body again this time?

He deliberated repeatedly.

The wendao token was too far away to be of any help, and as for the Heavenly Venerable Duobao, Greed had strictly guarded all the treasures.

The Heavenly Demon Body on the opposite side also seemed to be a Demon Venerable, and a monster that had lived for thousands of years longer than himself.

Even the mysterious ring was powerless.

Just at this moment, Yu Rumeng erupted.

Her Inheritance of Wrath burned to the extreme, and the scarlet Devilish Qi transformed into a fire dragon, lunging toward the heart of greed.

She turned and shouted to Chu Sheng: "You, leave quickly!"

"You saved my life once, so we're even!"

Chu Sheng did not move.

He couldn't leave; the monk might run, but the temple couldn't, and as long as he was still in the Reverse Demon Tower, Greed could catch up.

Moreover, he couldn't just abandon his Dao Companion and leave; he couldn't do it.

Chu Sheng thought of every possible solution.

Since none of these were useful, then...

That's right, "Many Children, Many Blessings"!

"Many Children, Many Blessings" was his first and only colored trait, and also his core trait!

If even this trait had no solution, then he might as well restart.

It seemed that "Many Children, Many Blessings" had heard his call, as a mysterious and profound power suddenly appeared—without warning, without a source—surging out from within his body from thin air.

It was not Spiritual Qi, nor was it Devilish Qi; it was something more ancient, more of an Origin.

He closed his eyes, and that power spread along his Bloodline throughout his entire body, breaking through his Dantian, breaking through his Dao Palace, and breaking through the Restrictions of the Reverse Demon Tower.

In the distant Central Region, at the Eighteenth Peak of the Wendao Palace, Yue Jianli was reading when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.

It was time to give birth.

Elder Shen ran out of the Immortal Cave, exclaiming and telling people to fetch a midwife. Yue Jianli bit her lip, reaching out to press on her belly to feel the fetal movement inside.

At the same moment, in Jin Xiao City and Qingshi Town, Lin Wanqing, Liu Qingyan, and Li Zhiyi simultaneously stopped what they were doing.

The Pill Furnace overturned, and the medicinal soup spilled all over the floor.

Liu Qingyan leaned on a soft couch, her face pale but her eyes very bright.

The sword in Li Zhiyi's hand dropped to the ground; she pressed her hands on her belly and cursed: "This child really knows how to pick a time."

Further away in the East Sea Heavenly Pool, Spiritual Qi shrouded the entire mountain peak like fog.

Qu Xiaohuan sat cross-legged by the pool, her belly already very large; her eyes were firm as she said: "I will give birth to this child."

The Bearded Uncle beside her sighed, looking at the unquestionable, stubborn expression on her face.

Finally, he nodded: "Disciple, have you thought it through?"

"Your current cultivation is not stable enough; forced labor might be dangerous."

Qu Xiaohuan said: "I've thought it through; I must catch up to Big Brother Chu's pace."

The Bearded Uncle sighed, knowing that if he didn't let his disciple give birth, she might really do something extreme.

The eighth floor of the Reverse Demon Tower.

Feedback from "Many Children, Many Blessings"...

A massive surge of cultivation power poured in from the Void Realm, coursing through Chu Sheng's entire body.

It was not Spiritual Qi, nor was it Devilish Qi; it was Bloodline Power.

It was the gift of cultivation feedback given to the father through the "Many Children, Many Blessings" trait when several children were born at the same time.

That power was too vast, like a great river pouring into a cup.

Chu Sheng's Dao Palace was shaking; the Bottleneck of the Late Stage of Palace Building was broken through like paper, reaching the Spirit Nurturing realm.

The Dao Palace in the Dantian, the second realm of the Dao Palace, was expanding and sublimating; above the magnificent golden halls.

Another, taller pavilion rose up.

Chu Sheng opened his eyes, and there was only a kind of calmness in his pupils.

At the same time, the zhu xian sword flew up from the ground, the dark red patterns on the sword body lighting up again, brighter and hotter than before.

Sword Qi surged like a tide, and the power of the sword formation increased several times over, pinning the heart of greed firmly to the ground, unable to move.

Feng Wa's Physical Body was freed from the chains; the chains snapped one by one, and the black stone pillar fell from her chest.

The voice of the Obsession of Greed echoed in the core area, hoarse and filled with a hint of terror: "Impossible... Impossible!"

"How could you..."

Chu Sheng did not answer.
