Chapter 1300

Chen Erniu was excited.

When he sensed Xu Qing's aura earlier, he had found it unbelievable, and now, looking at Xu Qing, his mind was overwhelmed with intense waves.

The surprise of a long-awaited reunion struck straight to his heart and mind, leaving him momentarily unable to fully react.

After all, the two had not seen each other for a long time, and meeting here was, in his perception, too extraordinary.

Thus he asked a question that he would later deeply regret.

"Little A-Qing, why are you here, and who were those people blocking the way just now?"

Xu Qing thought for a moment, felt it better to speak honestly, and thus spoke softly.

"My subordinates."

Upon hearing this, Chen Erniu's mind and spirit trembled, his eyes widened.

He had not seen clearly before, did not know what had happened outside, but could sense that those people had left after Xu Qing arrived.

And having been pursued for a long time, he was well aware of the terror of the one hunting him, and while trapped here, he had also sensed the companions summoned by that pursuer, each one extremely powerful.

But now, Little A-Qing actually said they were his subordinates...

This statement struck him so hard that Chen Erniu instantly recovered from his earlier excited state, released his divine sense, and probed Xu Qing's cultivation.

The profound depth and unfathomable richness of it caused Chen Erniu's mind and spirit to shudder violently.

Instinctively wanting to inhale, but he suppressed it instantly!

As the senior brother, his dignity erupted without limit at this moment.

Thus he forcibly restrained himself, not asking where this place was, nor Xu Qing's identity here, nor how he had come.

He would give Xu Qing no opportunity to stimulate himself.

But the change in Xu Qing's cultivation still made him unable to resist probing, so he feigned ease and spoke.

"Oh, I see, haha...

Cough, cough, right, Little A-Qing, how much of that special food have you eaten? This cultivation... how did it undergo some minor changes?"

Chen Erniu put on an air of lightness and ease.

Xu Qing blinked, he knew his senior brother too well.

"Just some opportunities, a bit of sudden enlightenment."

Though these words seemed simple, they still stirred a sour ache in Chen Erniu's heart when they reached his ears.

He silently wondered what kind of opportunity, what kind of sudden enlightenment, could cause such a terrifying rise in cultivation...

However, Chen Erniu's face clearly showed he would not admit defeat, and as the senior brother, his pride made him lift his chin.

"Not bad, but Little A-Qing, your cultivation is somewhat mixed; you still need to work hard.

Besides... we haven't seen each other in a long time, so you might not fully understand my current situation."

Chen Erniu wore an expression of deep feeling.

"You've probably figured it out—I came here with only a clone; you absolutely cannot imagine how powerful my true body is now. Let me tell you, I am only half a step away from unifying the Huangtian Realm!"

"In Huangtian, your senior brother I, am like the sun at high noon!"

Chen Erniu spoke arrogantly.

Xu Qing's face showed surprise.

This expression made Chen Erniu feel relieved inside.

"But I, I especially miss Little A-Qing standing by my side, so I unleashed a great divine power, shattered the void, cut through the ages, and came here to find you."

"Just to have you stand by my side, to witness the glorious era of my rule over Huangtian!"

In his words, the martial intent on Chen Erniu was especially strong.

Xu Qing laughed and nodded, his body swayed, and he stepped forward.

Chen Erniu coughed once, his skull flew out, and beside Xu Qing he moved forward while speaking.

"But, Little A-Qing, do you know where that half-step lacks?"

"It lacks a corpse of a Divine Platform peak cultivator!"

Chen Erniu spoke solemnly.

"Only by devouring a Divine Platform peak divine corpse can I activate the millions of clones buried in Huangtian and the tens of millions of magical artifacts, and then I can sweep Huangtian in one fell swoop."

"Save the Eastern Wanggu Continent!"

"Little A-Qing, this opportunity, I could have completed it myself originally, but I thought of you—you are, after all, my junior brother, so I want to give this opportunity to you!"

Chen Erniu looked at Xu Qing, his emotions surging deeply.

"Little A-Qing, give me a Divine Platform peak corpse, in exchange for a unified Huangtian—is it worth it?"

"Once I unify it, I intend to enshrine the master as Crown Prince, enshrine you as Grand Prince, enshrine Huang Yan as the nation's guardian divine beast, enshrine the second junior sister as the divine beast's consort, and enshrine the third brother as the Chief Steward of the Inner Court!"

"Then our sect will share wealth and honor together!"

"We..."

Chen Erniu's words had not finished when Xu Qing, in the midst of nodding, raised his hand and waved, producing some remains.

Though incomplete, the aura emanating from these remains was unmistakably that of a true god!

"Senior brother, divine corpse of the Divine Platform, I have none left..."

Xu Qing spoke the truth.

Chen Erniu froze.

Looking at those remains, his scalp tingled, the dreamlike sensation returned, and instinctively he sucked in a cold breath, his eyes also widened.

He spoke with a trembling voice.

"True god?"

Xu Qing nodded.

Chen Erniu fell silent, but soon he laughed hahaha, swallowed his saliva, once again assumed a carefree demeanor, suppressed his hunger, and waved his hand

"Mere true gods, my senior brother has grown tired of eating them; in Huangtian, everything exists, and I've grown sick of the food."

"When I previously spoke of the Divine Platform's peak, it was only because I feared stimulating you, Xiao Aqing, so I lowered the standard."

"Let me tell you, when I was in Huangtian, divine spirits would greet me politely upon seeing me."

Chen Erniu was speaking when Xu Qing's steps paused, he turned his head to gaze toward the distant starry sky.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as his right foot lifted and stepped forward.

Instantly, the starry sky his gaze fell upon collapsed with a boom, countless fissures tore open in an instant, and as the void storm swept across, from that void, numerous divine spirits flew out.

They were remnants of the great army's sweep, hidden in that void, evading detection.

But in Xu Qing's perception, nothing could escape.

Upon their appearance now, the leader was precisely the Divine Platform's peak; upon seeing Xu Qing, they all trembled in heart and mind, without hesitation each fled.

Xu Qing remained expressionless, his right hand lifted and pressed forward.

Instantly, a terrifying pressure descended suddenly, forming a suppressing force that fell upon that void.

The starry sky rippled.

Thereafter, no trace remained.

Those divine spirit remnants had already been utterly destroyed in both form and spirit.

With Xu Qing's current strength, destroying the Divine Platform is as easy as turning his hand.

Beside him, Chen Erniu watched this scene, his head buzzing, and after a while he coughed once.

"Not bad, not bad, Xiao Aqing, you now possess the might I had in Huangtian!"

"But Xiao Aqing, you must remember, while possessing deterrent power before divine spirits, you must also gain sufficient status among cultivators; this is my advice to you as one who has been there."

"Now that you've grown up, some things can also be told to you—I once stood proudly above the starry sky, my status extraordinary, all cultivators worshipped me, that feeling of loneliness at the top forged my icy cold power."

It's unknown whether it's coincidence... just as Chen Erniu finished speaking, the ripples in this place revealed a group of cultivator troops from a nearby supply star appearing in the distance, flying swiftly toward this location.

Upon seeing Xu Qing clearly, this group of cultivators instantly became excited, and from afar bowed to pay respects to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing felt somewhat embarrassed.

Because beside him, his senior brother was once again dazed at this moment.

Among that group of cultivators, there were many masters and even quasi-immortals, which caused Chen Erniu's inner turmoil to show signs of losing control.

However, due to the dignity of his position as senior brother, Chen Erniu soon resolved it with a hahaha laugh, preparing to speak.

But in the next instant...

The star region where this universe resides suddenly rippled, an incomparably terrifying divine sense surpassing Xia Xian came from the endless depths of the starry sky, surging like mountains and seas.

Wherever it passed, the fourth star ring trembled.

Countless cultivators on numerous supply stars bowed in worship.

As for Chen Erniu, at that very instant of perception, his inner turmoil reached the extreme, he was horrified beyond measure.

If Xu Qing's cultivation gave him a feeling of unfathomable depth, then this arriving divine sense made him feel that the other party needed only a single thought to instantly shatter Huangtian.

"This... this..."

In Chen Erniu's trembling heart, that divine sense had already descended upon this place, transforming into the voice of the Mingming Immortal Lord echoing back.

"Junior brother, your sister-in-law said you like to suck divine maidens; I just captured one, she is the daughter of the Mingzhe Divine Lord, and I've sent her to you."

When the gentle voice rang out, a sealed divine maiden appeared from the void.

That divine maiden possessed a human form, filled with divine sanctity, her cultivation had reached the level of a true god, but now she was tightly sealed, becoming a gift...

Xu Qing's expression was strange, he lowered his head and clasped his fists.

Chen Erniu was dazed, murmuring in his heart, sending a divine maiden?

And at this moment, that divine sense transmitted laughter.

"Just now I was joking; this divine maiden possesses special divine authority and talent, capable of assisting you in comprehending your constitution."

Between words, the Mingming Immortal Lord's divine sense had already departed, as if this visit was solely to deliver the divine maiden.

Though he had departed, Chen Erniu's heart had already been shattered by these waves of experience, he could no longer bear it, turned his head to look at Xu Qing.

"Exactly what is going on, Xiao Aqing, what place is this, what is your status here, and who is that divine sense... and what did he mean by 'constitution'!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing smiled; regarding Chen Erniu, he would naturally not conceal anything, but these matters are also difficult to explain in a few words, so Xu Qing raised his hand, turning the scenes of his arrival at the fifth star ring into imprints, imprinting them upon Chen Erniu.

Chen Erniu did not dodge, allowing the imprint to fall upon his brow.

In the next instant, vast information like a sea surged into Chen Erniu's heart and mind.

He saw everything, understood everything clearly; his expression shifted from initial bewilderment to shock, then turned to horror, after multiple changes he absorbed the imprint entirely, murmuring softly.

"When I previously came here, I saw those treasures, but they were actually things you didn't want!"

After speaking, Chen Erniu beat his chest.

"Had I known earlier, I would have come with you back then; in that case, I might now be a Xia Xian!!"

"I chose the wrong path!!"

Chen Erniu raved madly, feeling he had missed a supreme opportunity; now recalling his bitter struggles in Huangtian, he only felt heaven unjust...

Xu Qing stood beside him, watching Chen Erniu's current state, hesitated slightly, about to comfort him.

But Chen Erniu's eyes were already blood-red, he fiercely looked around, his body erupted with an inexplicable aura, murmuring softly.

"No, I must do something great here!"

"Only thus can I make up for this great loss!"

In the midst of his words, he even dared not spare Xu Qing's presence, directly tearing open a seal, causing his cultivation to surge instantly, enabling him to sense all treasure locations.

Finally, under Xu Qing's astonishment, Chen Erniu suddenly locked onto a position, laughed maniacally.

"Xiao Aqing, come, I'll take you to do great things!"
