As expectedl
A dark glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. When he saw Prince Mingnan reviving time and again, it made him think of the head, the stone lion, and the others.
Hence, he continued to exert pressure, aiming to push the opponent into a corner, prompting an all-out burst.
This was because… the god’s blessing was the reason why Prince Mingnan could revive after death!
To a certain extent, it was the same as the prisoners in D132. Under the influence of the god, they were undying.
If he wanted to kill Prince Mingnan, he had to break this blessing.
Sun Flame High God.
Outside D132S cage, rhe expressions of rhe Eldest Prince and the other humans changed drastically and their breathing became hurried.
A hint of disgust and hostility flashed in the captain’s eyes. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the huge eye that had appeared in the sky.
A huge gap opened in the sky and endless golden light scattered down from the gap, landing on the ground.
The clouds and fog in the whole area collapsed, nor daring to exist.
The magma on the ground instantly froze and didn’t dare to churn.
All the rules here were directly erased. All the laws here became illusory.
In front of gods, there were no rules.
Only in the crack that had opened in the sky, the cold eye that appeared in the golden light that couldn’t be looked at directly didn’t have any emotions. It was calm and high and mighty.
It was as though everything under Its gaze was dust.
The power of anomalous substances instantly filled the world. Time and space intertwined and countless lives seemed to be forming before directly dimming. All possibilities seemed to appear and shatter.
There was no beginning or end, no rise or fall.
Under this gaze, a forbidden zone… began to appear.
Numerous burning red vines grew out of the solidified magma. As they swayed the faces of all living beings appeared and let out cries of pain. Their range continued to expand.
There were also mountains and rivers undulating inside.
To a certain extent, this was already similar to the power of the fragmented-face. However, rhe fragmented-face’s gaze would certainly create a forbidden zone, and was an irreversible natural phenomenon.
And now, under the gaze of the Sun Flame High God, although an embryonic form of the forbidden zone appeared, it didn’t have a foundation. It was as though after rhe gaze disappeared, it would also dissipate.
However, no matter what, this gaze shook and affected everything.
The bodies of the Eldest Prince and the others began to mutate. They wanted to wail as pain uncontrollably spread throughout their bodies.
The captain seemed to be trying his best to restrain it, and signs of melting appeared on his body.
Xu Qing’s body was also affected and became blurry under the god’s gaze. All the flesh and blood in his body emitted the intent to become independent at this instant, as though they wanted to separate.
There were also a large number of flesh buds that grew out of his god form body and spread out.
D132 also disintegrated under this gaze and was entangled by those red vines.
The god’s finger trembled and the entire cage blurred at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as though time had stopped for Prince Mingnan and all the spells Xu Qing had set up in the surroundings.
His body finally gathered again at this moment.
However, this time around, although he looked normal, he no longer had the characteristic of being undying. His entire person was no longer extraordinary and his expression was distorted. His eyes contained the joy of surviving a calamity mixed with madness as he stared fixedly at Xu Qing, who was showing signs of mutation.
I have the blessing of the Sun Flame High God on me. Human… under the god’s gaze, you’re just an ant!”
Xu Qing didn’t bother with Prince Mingnan, nor did he care about the flesh buds growing on his body and the independence of his flesh and blood.
This wasn’t the first time he had experienced this feeling. Although he couldn’t be said to be used to it, he knew that as long as the source was dissipated, it would at most consume some life force.
Hence, he lifted his head and stared at rhe huge eye in the sky.
Although gods couldn’t be looked at directly, Xu Qing’s eyes were pitch-black.
The Poison Restriction allowed him to stare at It to a certain extent.
As he stared, Xu Qing took a deep breath and his god form body instantly dissipated. Millions of soul threads rapidly circulated outside his body and gathered again, forming a new body.
This body was that of a clay fox!
It was astonishingly tall and looked the same as the clay fox in his memories.
It was Star Flame High God.
The moment it was formed, Xu Qing lifted his right hand. He then lifted the token given by the clay fox high up.
Under the influence of the Sun Flame’s gaze, the token trembled. Ar the next instant, it emitted endless starlight that enveloped the surroundings and landed on Xu Qing’s body.
It flowed like a river of stars and the starlight in the surroundings transformed into pink flames that rose.
The might of the Star Flame rose shockingly;
The world trembled and all the red vines fell silent in unison. The anomalous substances that permeated the world tried to resist the pink flames.
It was as though thunder echoed in the void and exploded.
This scene caused Prince Mingnan’s expression to change.
Star Flame… Divine Envoy!!”
Xu Qing, who was enveloped by the sparks, seemed to have become a true Star Flame Divine Envoy at this moment. Moreover, it was of rhe highest level.
As he stood there, rhe pink flames seemed to have become a blessing that continued to circle and rotate, forming a huge vortex that rumbled and shook the void.
Xu Qing was gambling.
He bet that rhe high and mighty god wouldn’t really open Its divine eye for a Nihility cultivator. The huge eye that appeared this time was only a manifestation of the power of blessing.
Even though it was a blessing, in the god’s understanding, there was no difference between Nihility and mortals.
To a certain extent, it was not completely gambling. Xu Qing understood gods better than many cultivators.
He was aware that in this state, the clay fox formed by his soul threads and the token in his hand would fuse together to form an aura that could transform into a protective technique.
Regardless of whether the other party’s eye was real or nor.
Xu Qing had gambled correctly!
The huge golden eye in the sky focused Its cold gaze on Xu Qing before looking ar rhe token.
After that… It slowly closed. Finally, the crack in the sky began to dissipate. A while later, it completely disappeared.
The huge eye left.
Xu Qing had proven his identity. Compared to a god’s highest envoy, a servant who wasn’t important could naturally be given up.
This scene caused Prince Mingnan’s countenance to instantly turn pale. He looked at the disappearing giant eye and then at Xu Qing. Unwillingness, grief, and indignation filled his heart as all kinds of thoughts churned in his mind.
His greatest trump card was useless in front of the other party.
His background now was completely meaningless.
This was an outcome he never expected. No matter what, he couldn’t have expected that Xu Qing… was actually the Star Flame Divine Envoy.
This matter…
Prince Mingnan looked at rhe Eldest Prince and the others venomously.
In his opinion, these people knew about this but they pretended not to know earlier. This made him make a wrong judgment…
Otherwise, why would he deliberately wait…
However, it was too late now. He had lost the blessing of immortality and his trump card. When he thought of Xu Qing’s cruelty and ruthlessness earlier, his heart trembled.
Hence, he didn’t hesitate at all and turned his head abruptly. The qi and blood in his body burned as he sped into the distance.
He wanted to make use of the opportunity when the other party’s cage dissipated to escape this place.
The teleportation method was also instantly activated.
However, how could Xu Qing let him escape just like that? Killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Eldest Senior Brother.
As he spoke, he waved his hand and four taboo weapons flashed as he gave chase.
The Diamond Sect’s ancestor also appeared from the darkness and sped over. He even let out a sinister laugh. It was unknown if it was to boost himself or to intimidate Prince Mingnan.
There were also four fingers that formed in the sky and suppressed Prince Mingnan.
The captain laughed. In the blink of an eye, blue light erupted from his body. As it spread through the sky, it formed a ghastly mouth that was like a heavenly dog as it headed straight for Prince Mingnan.
The blue light enveloped the surroundings. The moment Prince Mingnan’s teleportation was about to be activated, Xu Qing’s divine art and taboo weapons reached him.
Xu Qing also reached at the same time as the captain, and the two moved towards Prince Mingnan.
One slashed with a dagger, while the other bit down.
They didn’t need to speak and naturally had a tacit understanding.
In an instant, Prince Mingnan resisted with all his might. However, no matter how he defended, it was useless.
Finally, a heart-rending scream rang out as his body was penetrated by the four taboo weapons. Half of his body was corroded by the blue light and a wound appeared on his neck.
His head flew up.
The Diamond Sect s ancestor pierced into his forehead.
Form annihilation!
However, this Prince Mingnan was indeed extraordinary. Faced with such slaughter, only his physical body collapsed, while his soul seized the opportunity to escape.
The teleportation activated, and the soul disappeared.
Xu Qing performed a series of hand seals and pointed. The four taboo weapons emitted shocking killing intent as they headed straight for the place where the soul had disappeared. It was as though they had calculated that the other party would definitely appear.
The captain grinned. With a wave of his hand, five pieces of flesh appeared and he cast a spell.
At the next instant, the soul of the departing Prince Mingnan was directly drawn out of the vortex formed by the teleportation. His expression was filled with disbelief and despair, and tried to make a sound.
However, it was too late.
The instant he appeared, Xu Qing’s four taboo weapons had already appeared in front of Prince Mingnan and landed fiercely on his soul.
The long saber slashed it, the battle-ax destroyed it, the trident annihilated its future, and the spear burned past.
A heart-rending sound appeared but immediately dissipated.
Soul annihilation!
The captain’s figure appeared from the blue light. He licked the corner of his mouth and smiled at the Eldest Prince and the others in the distance.
As for Xu Qing, he arrived at the place where Prince Mingnan had died. He lifted his right hand and grabbed at the void. Immediately, forbidden mountains appeared out of thin air and gathered above his head.
There were nearly 400 forbidden mountains from Prince Mingnan.
Coupled with Xu Qing’s previous 300-odd mountains, he now had more than 700 forbidden mountains. The mountains above him undulated and gave off a terrifying aura.
That destructive intent was even more obvious.
When rhe human cultivators saw this scene, their hearts were in turmoil. All of them instinctively bowed to Xu Qing. However, there were also some among them who looked at the spot where Prince Mingnan had died with worried expressions.
Although they didn’t say it explicitly, everyone knew what they were thinking.
After all, Prince Mingnan’s father had a high status and his son had been killed. It was very likely that he would vent his anger on rhe human race.
Xu Qing could see this and looked at the Eldest Prince.
The Eldest Prince fell silent. A few breaths later, he looked at the whip marks on everyone’s bodies and recalled the humiliation he had suffered on the way. His eyes were a little dim as he spoke in a low voice.
It was my fault. A peace that is exchanged with dignity is nor peace.
When the captain heard this, his gaze was deep as he calmly spoke.
“There’s no peace that isn’t exchanged through bloodshed. Regardless of whether it’s the other party or our side, when there’s enough bloodshed, peace will naturally arrive..11
