Chapter 1236

That True God, whose body was a ball of flesh and blood, flowing with mucus and emitting highly toxic substances, seeing this scene, accelerated the wriggling of its flesh and blood.

It was about to break through the void and leave.

But in the next instant, that Xia Xian commander flickered her body and appeared directly behind this True God, raising her left hand; her whole body shone with silver light, and the Xia Xian might erupted again, blocking its path.

Causing that True God to pause.

"Xu Qing, you and I join forces, we..."

Before this Xia Xian commander could finish speaking, Xu Qing had already arrived with the momentum of ten thousand immortals at this moment, and with a wave of his hand, a fingernail appeared in front.

The moment this fingernail appeared, a terrifying power rose within it.

Causing the starry sky to twist, the void to collapse, and the pressure emitted, although not as good as the previous bridge, was equally shocking to all.

It was exactly a Dao artifact!

The moment it appeared, it absorbed all the space-time shadows behind Xu Qing, gathered them into itself, and became a light intertwined with gold and silver.

Breaking through the air toward that True God.

Its speed was fast, approaching in an instant, and piercing through.

In a moment, that True God trembled all over, visibly collapsing; all the poison dissipated, along with the poisonous plum blossoms inside, becoming part of the void.

And its soul was also the same!

Body and soul destroyed!

This scene was too fast; Xu Qing's strike was fierce, and both his own aura and the terror of that fingernail were earth-shaking.

So much so that even that Xia Xian commander felt her mind shake violently, and at this moment, looking at Xu Qing...

Her expression narrowed.

"This is not a Quasi-Immortal... this is clearly a Xia Xian!

Even with a Dao artifact in hand, an ordinary Xia Xian encountering this person would have to be cautious."

"Especially his current state, he is only a thread away from breaking through!"

"Possessing everything, the immortal embryo is also completely formed, about to become an immortal, and what is needed is only the ascension of Constitution!"

Seeing Xu Qing's state, this Xia Xian commander spoke heavily.

"True Monarch, wait a moment!"

At the same time, the gods in the surroundings also felt their minds roar, fleeing madly, while the cultivator side, in this survival after the catastrophe, was incomparably excited.

They bowed to Xu Qing one after another, and then chased after the fleeing gods.

Going along with them was that Xia Xian commander.

And without the True Gods, the remnants of the gods here were quickly cleaned up under the actions of this Xia Xian commander and her subordinates.

After completing this mission, this Xia Xian female cultivator returned to Xu Qing's side and bowed with cupped fists.

"Thank you for your help!"

This Xia Xian female cultivator spoke sincerely.

Xu Qing's expression was as usual, and after returning the salute, he conversed with this Xia Xian.

Until he understood the current situation of the battlefield, Xu Qing bid farewell and left amidst the gaze of this cultivator and her subordinates.

Watching Xu Qing's back disappear into the starry sky, that Xia Xian commander also felt ripples in her heart.

"The name of the True Monarch, blessed by destiny, and also the younger brother of Immortal Lord Mi Ming... this person can be said to be extremely noble in the current Fifth Star Ring!"

"And his own combat power is also astonishing... next time we meet, he will definitely have broken through and achieved Xia Xian."

Thinking of this, this Xia Xian commander suddenly felt a move in her heart.

"He seems... to have no Dao companion yet..."

Xu Qing did not know what that Xia Xian female cultivator was thinking; at this moment, he walked in the starry sky, wandering in the Fourth Star Ring.

The further he went into the depths, the more he could see the dilapidation of the Fourth Star Ring.

Everywhere one could see fragments of stars and remnants of god kingdoms.

The traces of war were boundless in this Fourth Star Ring.

Overall, it was withered and defeated.

There was no starlight, nor the golden light of god kingdoms.

It seemed that most of the Fourth Star Ring had fallen into endless darkness.

Only the supply stars spreading from the Fifth Star Ring became the only light in the Fourth Star Ring now, and with the cultivator side occupying the general trend, the final cleanup was being carried out.

"According to what that commander said, the cleanup war in the Fourth Star Ring at this moment is divided into two aspects; one is that the cultivator army is continuously compressing the final area gathered by the gods.

The other is to use the supply stars as starting points to clean up the battlefield and the remnants."

"The former are often war cultivator legions, while the latter... are mostly composed of corpse-looting teams combined with garrison squads."

Xu Qing thought deeply, thinking of Zhou Zhengli and the others.

"I can also find their traces through the supply stars along the way."

Recalling those comrades-in-arms, a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Qing's mouth.

"I wonder how they are now..."

Just like this, time passed.

Xu Qing wandered in the Fourth Star Ring, looking for opportunities for breakthrough.

During this period, he also encountered some remaining gods.

However, with his current Quasi-Immortal Peak cultivation base and combat power capable of fighting Summer Immortals, as long as it was not encountering a Peak True God or a God Lord, it was fine.

He also contacted Zhou Zhengli through the supply stars, and after confirming the area they were in, Xu Qing's direction also changed, continuously approaching the place they were in.

At the same time, the funeral team composed of Zhou Zhengli and others had also just completed a battlefield mission, obtained a period of vacation, and were returning to the supply star they belonged to.

During the time Xu Qing disappeared in the Goddess Trading War, Zhou Zhengli and others had all grown up.

They participated in the general attack on the Fourth Star Ring and obtained certain military achievements, and carried out the tradition of the funeral team, looting corpses on the battlefield, while not lacking live harvesting.

They had all improved a lot in cultivation base.

Now, everyone was a Quasi-Immortal, and even Star Ring Child had reached the Quasi-Immortal Mid Stage, not far from the Late Stage.

As for Evil Spirit Child and Yuanshan Su, they were also in a state of being about to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Early Stage.

And there were Qianjun and Biyi; the two brothers were also like this, and their mentality was better than when Xu Qing was there; that carefree feeling made the two brothers proud.

Only Zhou Zhengli had little change in cultivation base, but this person was good at hiding, and it was difficult for others to judge his specific situation directly.

And at this moment, after returning to the supply star, seeing that everyone was about to leave, Zhou Zhengli spoke with a smile.

"Everyone, I have good news for you; I have contacted the Young Master, and he is rushing to the supply star where we are."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were different.

Evil Spirit Child narrowed his eyes, restraining the rebellious instinct that had risen during this period.

Yuanshan Su was a bit dazed.

Star Ring Child had no expression, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

And the ones with the biggest reaction were Qianjun and Biyi; these two sword people were originally discussing where to play next, but at this moment, hearing Zhou Zhengli's words, their bodies trembled instantly, and their minds shivered.

Afterward, they dispersed.

Watching their figures leave on the supply star, Zhou Zhengli's smile did not diminish, but his heart was excited.

Compared to others, he and Li Mengtu, who was cultivating outside and had not returned, were the ones who hoped most for Xu Qing's return, because the pursuit they chose back then had already gained the greatest harvest the moment Immortal Lord Mi Ming shocked the Fifth Star Ring.

During this period, he could clearly feel the importance the Fifth Star Ring cultivators attached to them; on the supply star they were on, everything was open to them.

Even the Xia Xian who guarded the supply star was quite polite to them.

All of this made Zhou Zhengli incomparably proud of the choice he made back then.

As for the thoughts of others, Zhou Zhengli understood them very well in his heart and did not care.

He knew that all the little thoughts of others, in fact, from the moment Xu Qing assisted Aurora Young Master, could not blossom and bear fruit, and would all vanish with Xu Qing's arrival.

Thus, looking at the backs of the crowd leaving, he chuckled and decided to wait here to welcome Xu Qing at the first opportunity.

And at this moment, the departing crowd all had different actions.

Evil Spirit Child closed his eyes to cultivate for the first time, and the broken sword in his body was trembling.

"That person is back; the matter you told me, if you dare to continue, I have no opinion, but... do you still dare?"

Evil Spirit Child spoke in a low voice, and the broken sword in his body emitted a sense of exasperation.

And the Qianjun and Biyi brothers, at this moment, had no heart to play anymore; they flew back to their cave dwelling and immediately began to discuss.

"What to do... that guy is back!"

"It's over, it's over; we've eaten too well during this period, and our sword bodies are incredibly sharp; he will definitely be tempted when he sees them!"

"Blame you, I advised you not to eat too much!"

"Blame you, you were the one who ate first!"

Amidst the intense complaints between the two brothers, Star Ring Child had already left the supply star, turned into a long rainbow in the starry sky, and returned to the secret cave dwelling he had opened outside.

That was a star fragment; after discovering it, he chose to cultivate inside.

At this moment, after sitting cross-legged, Star Ring Child revealed a sharp light in his eyes.

"Although the gap is getting bigger and bigger... but Xu Qing, I don't allow myself to be left behind too much!"

Star Ring Child muttered, and with a wave of his hand, a large amount of dust appeared out of thin air, gathering in front of him.

These dusts were by no means ordinary; every grain carried terrifying weight.

That was Heavenly Principle!

Gazing at this dust, Star Ring Child felt expectation rise in his heart.

During this period, through his own efforts and the opportunities he obtained, he finally refined more of his Heavenly Principle.

This was the preparation he made for his subsequent ascension to Xia Xian.

The path he wanted to take was different from Xu Qing's.

Xu Qing had not yet comprehended his own Xia Xian Constitution, while Star Ring Child had long known that the Constitution for his next step was Heavenly Principle.

"Finally refined almost enough; it only needs a few more days of refining, and this Heavenly Principle dust can be completely fused by me!"

"By then, what I lack for ascending to Xia Xian is only the step of nourishing the immortal embryo with source substance!"

Thinking of this, Star Ring Child was determined, his hands formed seals, and he immersed himself wholeheartedly, continuously refining.

But just at this time, an accident happened!

The void of the cave dwelling he was in, without any warning, twisted suddenly, actually turning into a big mouth!

This mouth looked like it was composed of greed, like the mouth of a mad dog.

The moment it appeared, it swallowed the Heavenly Principle dust in front of Star Ring Child without hesitation!

Cleanly, not a grain left!

Then it disappeared instantly!

Only the echo of a satisfied burp echoed in the cave dwelling.

All of this came too suddenly.

Star Ring Child was stunned, his heart churned instantly, his eyes opened wide, and a roar of earth-shaking anger came from his mouth!

His cultivation base erupted monstrously!
