Chapter 176: The Place Where the Sun Rests
Xu Qing gritted his teeth, his gaze resolute. He felt that he could not continue to wait. He had to consider whether the sound of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk was effective for this giant. If it was ineffective, he had to prepare to evacuate in advance.
If it was effective, whether it would take effect immediately or would need some time was unknown.
So Xu Qing waved his hand immediately. Instantly, the Sound-Catching Bottle shone, and the sound inside appeared again, drifting on this ocean.
Xu Qing held his breath, staring tightly at the dragon chariot giant under the sea.
This giant, under the sound of the Sound-Catching Bottle at this moment, actually had no abnormality, still walking with big strides, seemingly locked onto Xu Qing, getting closer and closer.
Nine hundred zhang, eight hundred zhang, seven hundred zhang...
Xu Qing's mind roared, the sense of pressure became more intense, making his whole body feel as if it were being squeezed. His lungs could not expand under this pressure, breathing became difficult, and there were more bloodshot eyes.
"Is it not what I thought?" Xu Qing looked at the approaching dragon chariot. At this moment, not only could he see the mural more clearly, but even vaguely inside the dragon chariot, he could see some handwriting carved inside.
Those handwritings, although blurry, gave Xu Qing a feeling of being full of holiness, as if written by an emperor, with magnificent momentum and its own imperial aura.
"Somewhat unwilling." Xu Qing spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his expression revealing deep regret. He sighed and prepared to retreat.
Since the Sound-Catching Bottle was ineffective, then continuing to stay, once the giant got closer, his desire to leave safely would become full of crises. And just at the moment Xu Qing was about to retreat, suddenly his pupils shrank violently.
That dragon chariot giant, which was now more than six hundred zhang away from him, stopped its footsteps for the first time... its chin raised, revealing godless eye sockets, and it tilted its head, as if listening.
Xu Qing's eyes widened, his mind shaken intensely. The dragon chariot giant instinctively took another small step forward, finally reaching five hundred zhang.
At this position, the pressure was already terrifying to the extreme. Xu Qing's mind roared, blood flowed from his seven orifices, the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor let out a miserable wail, his body was fixed on the deck by invisible pressure, and the entire magic ship made a *click-clack* sound at this moment, as if it could not withstand it.
Fortunately, after the giant's body paused, this time its legs did not move, only its head turned constantly like a puppet, finally maintaining the posture of tilting its head, as if listening carefully.
Gradually, ripples appeared in its godless eye sockets, and a hint of confusion appeared on its expressionless face!
"It works!"
Xu Qing did not hesitate in the slightest. A hint of madness appeared in his expression. His body instantly rushed out rapidly in this Profound Radiance State. When rushing out, he did not forget to put away the magic boat, and exerted a strand of magic power to lift the Sound-Catching Bottle, making it float in mid-air.
His body rushed into the sea with a *bang*, rushing rapidly toward the dragon chariot giant five hundred zhang away.
As he approached, cracks instantly appeared on Xu Qing's body. Cracks spread rapidly all over his body, turning into wounds, and fresh blood sprayed out.
His soul was also trembling, as if it were about to collapse. The Life Fire in his body also swayed violently, as if a wind had blown to extinguish it.
If it were an ordinary Life Fire, it would definitely have been forcibly extinguished under this pressure at this moment, but Xu Qing's Life Fire was placed on the Life Lamp and had roots, so it would not be easily extinguished.
And at this critical moment of crisis, Xu Qing waved his hand, and a huge black umbrella appeared above his head.
Once the black umbrella appeared, like a canopy, it shed black flames that shrouded Xu Qing inside.
The external pressure actually dissipated some at this moment, making Xu Qing's whole body relax. At the same time, the purple crystal's recovery power operated fully, recuperating his body for him.
However, Xu Qing could not care about these anymore. His speed erupted. When the giant tilted its head to listen, he crossed the five hundred zhang range directly and appeared beside the giant.
Xu Qing's location was the giant's waist. His body compared to the giant was like a flying insect to an ordinary person, as if it could be slapped to death with one palm.
So that sense of heart-palpitating dread was incomparably intense in Xu Qing's heart.
At such a close distance, he even saw the decay on the giant's body and smelled the stench of a corpse. At the same time, he also noticed that this giant was covered in shocking scars.
These scars were too many, as if formed to protect an important existence, blocking all damage with its own body.
All of this moved Xu Qing.
And his previous plan was clearly correct.
So even though the canopy's protection plus the purple crystal's recovery still made his whole body crack constantly and his body seemed about to collapse, in the end, what he faced was only pressure, the aura passively radiated by the giant, not its active attack.
Between these two, the difference was like heaven and abyss.
At this moment, he flashed past the giant, rushing rapidly toward the tall bronze dragon chariot in front. He got closer and closer, until the next instant, Xu Qing's figure finally rushed in front of this tilted imperial carriage.
A carriage frame that, although filled with rust, was still full of imperial meaning.
A carriage frame that, although full of dilapidation, still had incomparably luxurious carvings.
A carriage frame that, although buried for eternity, still had imperial nobility that had not dissipated.
At this moment...
It was reflected incomparably clearly in Xu Qing's eyes, imprinted in his heart, and carved into his soul!
A sense of worship erupted in his heart.
But the sense of crisis from the giant made Xu Qing have to ignore all of this. At this moment, he raised his right foot, took a step, drove his body in an instant, and rushed into this bronze dragon chariot!
Here is the place where the sun rests!
Here is the place where the emperor sits!
Here is a place that ordinary people cannot approach in their lifetime!
And the dragon chariot was too big. The moment Xu Qing stepped in, it felt as if he were in a huge palace. He saw the huge imperial throne that occupied half the position there.
He saw countless auspicious totems all around.
He saw the lamp stands shattered all over the ground, and even saw... on the inner wall of the dragon chariot on one side, countless dense runes carved crookedly!
These runes gave people a feeling of being in a hurry, as if they were left behind before death because they did not want their own inheritance to disappear.
And the moment Xu Qing's gaze looked over, his mind felt as if ten thousand heavenly thunders had exploded together, forming an earth-shattering roar that could tear everything apart, filling every corner of his body.
As his body trembled intensely, countless dazzling lights appeared before his eyes. These lights were golden, constantly gathering to form a Jin Wu with its wings folded, rushing toward the nine heavens.
This Jin Wu was so huge that even without spreading its wings, it still occupied most of the sky. Its whole body shone with golden light like a god, and its aura even surpassed all existences Xu Qing had seen. Whether it was the Ju Ying or the Yan Huang, it seemed that in front of her, they were all subjects!
The momentum was noble, like an emperor!
The records in the Seven Blood Eyes' Sea Chronicle, as well as the notification from the Third Elder back then, and the totem mural Xu Qing saw outside the dragon chariot carriage earlier, were all telling him the same thing.
The sun of this world is a vast existence like an ancient emperor, and its body is not a human, but a Jin Wu divine bird!
She rises at sunrise and returns at sunset. Her light shines on the earth. Perhaps it does not cover the entire Wanggu, but at least within the range of her light, she is the god of all living things.
At this moment, Xu Qing's mind roared, stirring up monstrous waves; his soul trembled, and his physical body shuddered just the same.
He had an indescribable feeling.
That was the unreality of walking into a myth.
That was the feeling of trance of stepping into the long years before the arrival of the divine remnant face.
It was even more the shock of standing inside the sun carriage that was once high above and worshipped by all living things.
This series of feelings made Xu Qing's soul strongly impacted, especially what he saw at this moment, the Jin Wu like an emperor rushing straight to the nine heavens. While rushing, its wings were still folded, but he could see that every feather on it was shaking, containing an indescribable Dao rhyme inside.
This feeling was like the golden statue holding a knife that he saw in the temple of the scavenger camp forbidden zone back then.
That knife back then gave him a great shock. Until now, the Heavenly Knife was still one of his trump cards. It was just that his cultivation base back then was too low, and his feeling was not even one ten-thousandth, so he couldn't show more in terms of power.
But it was precisely because of this that it could be seen from the side that Xu Qing's comprehension was beyond ordinary people.
His aptitude in the Seven Blood Eyes might already be quite good, but looking at the countless races and countless sects in the entire Wanggu Continent, there were many people whose aptitude purely surpassed his.
But Xu Qing could feel the Dao rhyme of that knife when he was in Qi Condensation, which was enough to show that his comprehension was extremely high.
At this moment, comprehension was here, completely revealed on Xu Qing. He was completely immersed in the holy Jin Wu he saw.
He watched her rush straight to the nine heavens, watched her break through the firmament, watched her dominate the sky.
Outside Xu Qing's Life Lamp, vaguely, a phantom shadow manifested. Its appearance rapidly changed from blurry to solid, vaguely forming the contour of the Jin Wu he saw.
This contour was rapidly becoming clear.
Until Xu Qing looked, the Jin Wu divine bird that illuminated the world in golden light, its wings suddenly spread open and waved fiercely.
This was the first time spreading its wings!
The world roared as if it couldn't withstand it, appearing signs of shattering. The earth-shattering sound was deafening, like countless thunders roaring and exploding at the same time, and also raised monstrous waves in Xu Qing's heart.
His mind was also about to explode. The Jin Wu contour outside the Life Lamp changed rapidly, forming faster. At the same time, a large amount of information also radiated from the Jin Wu he saw at this moment, surging into his mind and merging into the contour beside the Life Lamp.
This information was like a storm, and the content it contained was too vast. Xu Qing couldn't check it at all. At this moment, his body trembled, the veins on his forehead bulged, bloodshot eyes filled his eyes, and he endured it raw.
This is inheritance! ===== CHAPTER 177 =====
