Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sky became even redder.
In the holy city, numerous gazes and strands of divine sense gathered on Xu
Qing. Shock, fright, complexity, and strangeness surfaced in them.
In the end, it turned into silence.
Xu Qings attacks intimidated the surroundings and also proved his strength.
He had obtained first place in the first segment!
No one continued to fly out of the holy city to challenge.
Xu Qings actions caused varying degrees of waves in everyones hearts.
If Xu Qing attacked with a cultivators abilities, it would be fine. However, he was using the power of a god.
This frightened many.
Although cultivators who had been in contact with gods for a long time might be able to display divine techniques, especially divine envoys,
it was still rare for someone to be like Xu Qing, pulling out the image of a fourth level Nihility cultivator dying in the future and replacing the present.
This was also the first time many cultivators had seen it in their lives.
As for the middle-aged cultivator of the Baize Race who had his death scene replaced, his miserable state was even more shocking.
At that moment, blood was still flowing out his mouth uncontrollably. His internal organs were all tearing and rotting, and his soul was also dispirited and dim. His state was irreversible.
The destroyed great world not only brought him a sharp decrease in his cultivation but also the withering of his life.
His body aged at a speed visible to the naked eye. It only stabilized after he retreated to 10,000 feet away and received the quick help of several Baize cultivators, but his cultivation reduced to second stage Nihility, and his appearance became old.
The aura of death from his entire body was dense and the meaning of his declining years was obvious. There was also a lingering fear that was very intense from his expression.
His heart churned. After escaping death, he recalled the battle earlier and was aware that he had already died once in that instant.
If this was the battlefield and he didnt have the protection of the Holy Citys rules, he would still be facing death now.
This thought caused the lingering fear on his face to spread throughout his body and turn into trembling.
He instinctively avoided looking at Xu Qing who had turned his gaze here.
He was thoroughly intimidated.
Seeing this, Xu Qing retracted his gaze and stopped looking. However, he had already memorized the other partys aura and was prepared to find an opportunity to eliminate him completely in the future.
With this thought in mind, Xu Qing looked at the Sie Race cultivator who was trapped by D132.
He walked over step by step.
With every step he took, the space under his feet stirred up waves, as though he was walking on water.
In D132, misfortune was descending. No matter what curses the Sie Race cultivator used, it was useless.
All curses dissipated in misfortune. Di32s divine authority had an extreme restraining effect on divine arts like curses.
The Sie Race cultivator who was trapped inside was unable to escape.
He could only endure the gradual desolation and oblivion under the endless accumulation of misfortune.
Xu Qings arrival sped up this process.
At that moment, he was already above D132. The purple moonlight from the fourth god form scattered down, enveloping D132 and about to augment it.
However, at this moment, the falling moonlight suddenly changed directions, gathering to form a purple light barrier in front of Xu Qing.
At the next instant, a finger stretched out from the void and landed on the barrier.
A light touch.
Ripples appeared on the purple barrier and it turned white rapidly, refracting a jade-like luster. Finally, it transformed into... jade!
The luster of the jade rapidly spread across the barrier.
The entire process only lasted for the time of one breath before an arc-shaped jade barrier appeared in the air.
After losing the power of the Purple Moon, it fell to the ground.
It smashed into D132 and shattered into pieces. D132, which came into contact with it, also began to turn into jade.
This scene was extremely abrupt. Xu Qing didnt hesitate at all. The moonlight gathered in front of him and he retreated. He even lifted his right hand and pointed.
D132 instantly turned blurry and disappeared.
As for Xu Qing, who had retreated far away, his eyes gleamed. He lifted his head and stared at the area where the finger had appeared.
The void there also emitted the luster of jade. Amidst this light, a beautiful youth in a scholars robe who looked somewhat similar to a human gradually appeared.
When he appeared fully, he smiled at Xu Qing.
Those friends of mine have taken a fancy to you and want you to become one of them.
This youths voice was gentle and without the slightest hint of anger. It was as though he was telling a fact and an immutable future. His gaze was also gentle and even contained a hint of closeness, as though he was looking at his own people.
Xu Qing wasnt moved and a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
Although this was the first time he had truly met this person, Xu Qing had seen this person in front of him in the Eldest Princes jade slip.
The Eldest Princes introduction of this person appeared in his mind.
Fan Shishuang, at the third stage Nihility, ranks third. He possesses the combat strength of the perfected Nihility Realm. He even had the experience of fighting a life-and-death battle with a foreign almighty who had just stepped into the Soul Accumulation Realm and successfully escaped without dying. He is the top talent within the jurisdiction of the Moon Flame High God.
Other than the introduction, when Xu Qing checked the jade slip in detail, he also saw the recordings of the other partys fights.
Anything that came into contact with him would become jade.
Fan Shishuang also had a habit. He liked to turn the cultivators who were hostile to him into jade puppets and keep them by his side.
The great heavens chosen of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven who surpasses
Tuoshi Shan...
A solemn feeling rose in Xu Qings heart. The instant the other party attacked earlier, he felt an intense life-and-death crisis, especially the jade transformation. He could sense the power of god on it.
Hence, his gaze swept across the surroundings. The figures of jade puppets wearing different clothes appeared in all directions.
They didnt move and only stared at Xu Qing.
Why arent you saying anything? Are you tacitly agreeing?
Fan Shishuang smiled and sized up Xu Qing. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he was.
Its quite suitable to solidify your form into jade and turn it into a statue in my residence.
I advise you not to struggle. It would be a pity if I accidentally destroyed your form.
Also, youre not my match.
Fan Shishuang chuckled and lifted his right hand before swinging it slightly. His combat strength fluctuations at the perfected Nihility Realm surged into the sky. In an instant, the sky rumbled and the ground trembled.
There was also a storm that rose from his body, connecting the world.
The strong wind blew in all directions, causing the night sky to distort. One could vaguely see shooting stars streaking past. They were Dao marks.
At first, it was still fine, but very soon, the Dao marks became astonishing and there were more and more of them. In the end, they were so dense that they were almost connecting into one, turning into a meteor shower.
Xu Qing had never seen such an incomparable aura from any Nihility cultivators before. His eyes couldnt help but narrow.
There were also overlapping shadows that appeared in the sky, as though the gods and demons were coming together.
Every one of them looked real. They glared angrily at the ground and emitted a terrifying pressure.
This was the manifestation of the second stage of the Nihility, but Xu Qing had never heard of it turning into figures of gods and demons before.
Under normal circumstances, illusory bubbles formed by divine sense would appear at the third stage of Nihility. However, this wasnt the case for Fan Shishuang.
The illusory bubbles were not formed by his divine sense but by those figures of gods and demons
They embodied the origins of life and death. After they appeared, they shattered and reformed, eventually converging to create a vast scene.
It was a super large world that covered the sky and affected the void. It was more than ten times larger than ordinary Nihility worlds.
Although it was also an illusion, it contained mountains and rivers, the sun and moon, and all living beings. It was like a real world that was continuously operating.
It was as though as long as this world was a little more realistic, it would be the Soul Accumulation.
As this scene appeared, the aura emitted by Fan Shishuang caused Xu Qing to become even more solemn. This aura... surpassed the Baize Race member from before by a large extent. It was like the comparison between a bright moon and a firefly.
Although they both showed perfected Nihility combat strength, the gap between them was extremely huge.
It will be over in ten breaths.
Fan Shishuang smiled slightly and a hint of evilness appeared on his face. He then lifted his right hand and gently pressed toward Xu Qing.
With this push, shocking thunder rang out from the sky. Looking over, the sky actually emitted the luster of jade. Even the ground was the same. With Xu Qing as the center, everything in the surroundings and even above and below shone with jade light at this instant.
The moment this jade light was formed, it suddenly rolled back and surged toward Xu Qing.
A sense of danger continued to erupt in Xu Qings heart. The piercing pain that caused all the flesh and blood in his body to tremble caused Xu Qing to feel as though he was facing a Soul Accumulation.
At this critical moment, Xu Qing took a deep breath and battle intent rose in his eyes. He also wanted to know his limit and what was the difference between him and the third-ranked heavens chosen of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven.
He lifted his right hand and a layer of ripples spread out under his feet, as though it had turned into water. It was Fishing the Moon From the Wells opening move.
In the holy city, countless gazes and divine senses were also watching this battle. The meaning of this battle had changed with the appearance of Fan Shishuang.
However, the instant Xu Qing and Fan Shishuang were about to fight, the Divine Mountain trembled slightly.
With just a tremble, the sky collapsed and shattered into pieces.
The ground cracked and turned into mud waves that surged.
Fan Shishuangs jade light instantly dimmed and was erased. His face didnt look evil anymore, it was filled with piety as he knelt down in front of the Divine Mountain.
He wasnt the only one. At that moment, almost all the cultivators in the holy city were panting and lowering their heads to bow to the Divine Mountain.
Xu Qing also couldnt use any divine arts. He followed the trend and bowed toward the Divine Mountain.
A sultry voice echoed through the heavens, pervading the earth, becoming a divine sound, and transforming into a decree in the minds of every cultivator.
The first segment has just ended. 1 originally wanted to give you guys some time to rest and recuperate, but since youre all so energetic, theres no need for you to do so.
The second segment of the Grand Hunt, the teleportation to the Mountains and Seas Region will begin immediately.
It was the voice of the Star Flame High God!
