Chapter 1228: First Mountain
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sky in the forbidden zone rumbled. The spear that flew out from in front of Xu Qing was like a dragon, flickering with a world-destroying black light.
It even stirred up a sea of fire on the ground, spreading into the sky.
Its speed was so fast that it was like a shooting star as it tore through the sky.
There were also the soul threads from the mountain peak. At this moment, they spread out and augmented the spear like the sea of fire, causing the spear to emit an unprecedented sharpness.
It made it impossible for anyone to dodge or resist it!
The expression of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race cultivator completely changed.
“This aura… This is a taboo weapon!”
The strength of the race gave access to more comprehensive history, so the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator recognized the spear immediately.
This realization caused his heart to churn and his mind to rumble.
However, he didn’t have time to think too much now. The intense sense of life-and-death crisis caused every inch of his body to tremble.
He wanted to dodge but he couldn’t do so. His instincts made him understand that if he took a step back in the face of this incoming spear of extermination, his mind would be suppressed by the aura.
Once he was suppressed by the aura, he would definitely die.
This was because this spear was not tolerated by the world or the Heavenly Dao. It was one of the oldest taboo weapons in the Wanggu Continent and was an existence that was sealed in the emperor cultivation arts.
Facing such an ancient taboo weapon, the more afraid he was, the faster he would be destroyed.
Hence, the eyes of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race cultivator instantly turned red. He let out a roar and spat out a mouthful of blood, using a forbidden blood art.
This blood instantly turned into a blood fog that formed an arc in front of him, protecting him from the front. At the same time, one could see the blood fog churning and a large number of faces of the myriad races appeared. There were no less than a thousand of them and they let out low roars in unison. Each of them burned with all their might.
However, this was clearly not enough.
Hence, at this critical moment, the physical strength of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator rose completely. His hands instantly became incomparably thick as he lifted them and pressed forward.
Golden light spread out from his body, transforming into a barrier of light that formed a second layer of defense.
There was also a white light that rapidly flew out from his forehead, forming a Life God Art that transformed into a statue that stood behind him.
This statue was in the shape of a human but its entire body was covered in feathers. It was completely white and gave off a holy feeling. At that moment, the statue lifted its arms and hugged the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator.
All of this took a long time to describe but in reality, it happened in the blink of an eye. At the next instant, the black spear had already shattered into nothingness.
It was here!
With thunder-like aura, the fragments swept through the blood-colored fog in front of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator.
The instant they came into contact, the fog rumbled and churned intensely. It wanted to resist the spear’s might but it was unable to do so. Even if all the faces inside burned, it was useless.
In the blink of an eye, they let out mournful wails and were directly blown away by the spear wind like ashes.
At the same time, the blood-colored fog dissipated completely. It couldn’t withstand a single blow.
The Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator immediately suffered a backlash. His face turned pale and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. However, this was only the beginning for him.
At the next instant, the black spear ruthlessly stabbed into the first layer of the cultivator’s protective barrier, the golden light barrier.
There was a loud sound of collision.
The golden barrier shattered and countless cracks spread. It only lasted for a breath of time before shattering into pieces.
The Flame Moon cultivator’s face was pale. As he spat out blood uncontrollably, the black spear continued moving forward with an unstoppable pressure. Amidst the whistling sounds, it stabbed the white statue formed by the Flame Moon cultivator’s Life God Art.
Strength and dignity were released from the spear at this moment.
Black fire, red soul threads, and indestructible taboo weapon. Although the impact and destruction formed by them weren’t unstoppable, it was obvious that… this Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator wasn’t among those who could do it!
Hence, as a deafening sound spread throughout the entire forbidden zone, the Life God statue of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator shattered like porcelain.
First, it was his arm, then his body, then his head. It turned into countless fragments and rolled back, revealing the protected Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator.
His expression was still filled with horror from before. Before he could react, the black spear had already appeared on his chest.
It pierced.
It pierced through his skin, flesh, and back.
It directly… pierced through him!
However, he didn’t leave.
Instead, under the aftershock of the impact, this cultivator’s body moved toward the original direction of the spear.
No matter how noble this Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator’s body looked previously, he was like a broken rag doll at this moment. His body was tattered and he had no choice.
At the next instant, the sky rumbled. The black spear wrapped around this cultivator and nailed him to the sky!
This was originally unbelievable. The sky was void and wasn’t a physical object, so nothing could be nailed to it, but it was happening now.
The sky seemed to have materialized in front of the spear.
The Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator was nailed in the air just like that. Blood flowed down his wound and onto his body, dripping onto the ground.
His complexion was dispirited and his expression was bitter. He gradually lost the strength to support his eyes. However, he still forcefully opened his eyes and looked at the calm Xu Qing on the ground.
This figure was something he couldn’t forget.
Previously, he had thought that the bloated cultivator who had attacked first was the strongest and most mysterious of the two.
After all, to be able to grasp the Flame Moon’s Nine Breaths Submission spell, there must be a secret.
But now, he didn’t think so.
The strongest… was this person who had only fired a spear.
“Taboo weapons…”
The Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator mumbled. In the end, he stared at Xu Qing meaningfully and closed his eyes.
At this moment, countless cracks appeared on his body. All the marks were from his chest. After they rapidly spread throughout his body, they began to shatter.
Finally, with a boom, his body transformed into hundreds of pieces and fell to the ground.
It was as though his body and soul had been destroyed.
Seeing this, Xu Qing let out a soft cry of surprise and abruptly pulled out his black spear from the sky.
At this moment, the flesh and blood that fell from the sky underwent a strange change!
At this moment, they all erupted with teleportation fluctuations.
They were teleporting.
“You can run like this? Is this a new Flame Moon spell? I want to learn it.
When the captain saw this scene, his eyes instantly lit up. He suddenly opened his mouth and sucked fiercely at the flesh and blood that were starting to blur.
There was also black shadow on the ground. It seemed to have been waiting for a long time and suddenly rushed out.
It was Little Shadow, who had spread here.
It and the captain used their respective methods at the same time.
The black spear also flew over at the same time. Xu Qing’s habit was to kill whoever he could, leaving no one alive.
The eruption of the power of the three parties also made the success rate of teleportation of these flesh and blood impossible.
In an instant, 40% of the flesh and blood were pulled out of the teleportation under the captain’s huge suction force, heading straight for the captain’s mouth.
As for Little Shadow’s attack, it was even stranger. There were even murmurs coming from it.
“Three elements nurture, nine Qi circulate, five elements transform, organs form, and seven stars create orifices. The souls of all beings rise to the top, three feet above me, Dark Abyss, illuminated by the brilliance of three feet of starlight.”
The voice alternated between high and low, between swift and slow, creating a bizarre feeling when combined.
Under this interference, 20% of his flesh and blood instantly burned and turned into flames. They were stripped of the teleportation energy and fused into Little Shadow’s body.
As for the rest, Xu Qing’s black spear whistled over. Black flames spread out and amidst the lingering soul threads, it destroyed everything.
In the end, not a single piece of flesh and blood could escape. All of them disappeared from the world.
After the surroundings fell silent, the captain chewed a few times and looked at Xu Qing.
“This person is a clone.”
Little Shadow also transmitted its emotions, telling Xu Qing that it could sense the other party’s aura within a certain range.
It’s fine. The next time we meet, we’ll just kill him.”
Xu Qing spoke softly. He then turned his head and lifted his right hand, pressing down on the forbidden mountain beside him again.
The mountain rumbled and Little Shadow had already spread to all the forbidden zones. As Xu Qing moved, it began to devour crazily.
The forbidden zone trembled and the wails gradually grew weaker. The sense of repulsion also slowly decreased.
As far as the eye could see, the shape of this forbidden zone was getting fainter and blurrier. The location at the edge had completely disappeared.
However, this speed wasn’t very fast. Xu Qing was impatient and spread out his soul threads to support Little Shadow.
During this process, the captain only took a glance. He was a little surprised but didn’t ask. This was because at that moment, he was doing his best to digest Flame Moon’s flesh and blood and search for a way to destroy the teleportation.
Four hours later, Little Shadow’s devouring ended.
Everything around Xu Qing and the captain was empty.
There was only that mountain floating a foot above the ground.
The entire forbidden zone was gone!
The ground was gray.
Among this gray color, there was a sphere of black shadow that squirmed like a river, extending toward Xu Qing. Finally, after it returned to Xu Qing’s feet, a burp rang out. After that, it spat out a piece of brown flame the size of a fingernail.
This flame floated in front of Xu Qing and flickered. It would occasionally expand or rapidly shrink, as though it was extremely unstable.
Because of its movement, the sky quickly turned pitch-black. Thunder rang out and bolts of lightning swam inside, as though they were attracted and spread out.
At the same time, a soul power as majestic as the sea spread out from Xu Qing’s shadow.
“Master… full…”
Xu Qing nodded and carefully kept the brown fire. He was very clear about the origin of this fire and also knew how dangerous it was.
After putting it away, Xu Qing waved his right hand and the blood-red forbidden mountain rose into the air with a rumbling sound, floating above his head.
“Little Qing, are the mosquitoes still there? Release some. I felt a little pain just now. The effect still needs to be enhanced.”
The captain glanced at Xu Qing’s shadow.
Xu Qing turned his head and looked at the swollen captain.
“Senior Brother, the High God Star Flame told me that the first segment of the hunt is moving mountains…”
