Chapter 483: He Doesn't Want to Possess Anymore
The abyss sea was silent. This place belonged to the remote boundary deep in Zhaoxia Prefecture, and very few people came here. Plus, the divine finger had gone everywhere to grab cultivators of various tribes to enhance the activity of the sun remains, so within the vast range of the surroundings, it had long been uninhabited.
Not to mention that whether it was the eruption of the large sun remains or the existence of the divine finger, the exotic substances here were infinitely rich, and there were even faint signs of transforming into a forbidden zone.
Even the head and the stone lion were recovering extremely slowly under the divine finger's fluctuations, and were now in a flesh-and-blood state, not revived.
The painting scroll on the old man Danqing's side, which once had four generations under one roof, now had less than five left, so it didn't continue.
No one knew that at this moment, a bizarre event was happening within the meat mountain here.
The flesh-and-blood mountain transformed by the divine finger was wriggling rapidly. The missing Xu Qing was inside this flesh-and-blood mountain.
Outside his body was the flesh and blood of the divine finger, now constantly drilling inward along his body. Intense pain erupted throughout Xu Qing's body like a tide.
That feeling of being pierced alive was as if being sliced by a thousand knives.
Xu Qing's body continued to tremble, but no matter how he resisted, it was of no avail.
Preventing the flesh and blood outside his body from drilling in, just like that, time passed, and the flesh-and-blood mountain shrouding Xu Qing began to shrink slowly.
Until a stick of incense's time later, the flesh-and-blood mountain had disappeared, revealing the outline of Xu Qing's figure within.
Endless pain was clearly revealed in his expression. The drilling of the flesh-and-blood mountain hadn't ended yet. The remaining ones were wriggling rapidly, still drilling into Xu Qing's body along all the pores of his entire body, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Xu Qing was motionless, his expression frozen in pain, losing all perception of the outside world. His body had been completely permeated by the divine finger's flesh and blood. Flesh-and-blood threads pierced through Xu Qing's entire body.
In his meridians, in his flesh and blood, in his bones, these flesh-and-blood threads were everywhere. They were connected to each other, radiating terrifying exotic substances, constantly wanting to change Xu Qing's body.
The environment suitable for its existence was built. Under the purple crystal in Xu Qing's chest, although it was still radiating purple light, the role of this light was only to make his body constantly repaired, not resisting the transformation from the divine flesh and blood.
Even from a certain perspective, its recovery power made the divine finger's transformation even smoother.
No matter what kind of damage, it would soon be recovered by it.
So, the flesh-and-blood threads transformed by the divine finger didn't pay attention to the purple crystal. In this constant permeation, Xu Qing's appearance also underwent some changes.
Meat buds grew from his body, spreading in the surroundings, and as they spread, they grew longer and longer, swaying.
This scene was extremely eerie, and what was even eerier was that after these meat buds spread, they flew rapidly to weave outside Xu Qing's body.
Faintly, something resembling blood vessels was woven by these flesh-and-blood threads. The process was exactly the same as the painting on the old man Danqing's painting before.
It seemed that by watching the painting, the divine finger had already learned to paint, and each meat bud was a paintbrush, and itself was also painting paint.
Just like that, a body several hundred feet in size was slowly being outlined by these meat buds.
Clearly, the divine finger was using Xu Qing's body as the core, wanting to shape an outer shell outside.
Time passed, this shell became more and more substantial. One could see the formed bones being covered by flesh and blood, and at the same time, countless meat buds flew and gathered to form.
And then they dispersed like blooming flowers above, and then entangled together again to form a neck.
Then it was the head, and through these hollow outer shells, one could see more and more meat buds on Xu Qing's body within. Until finally, these meat buds wriggled on the neck, forming a head.
The facial features also began to appear. Looking at its appearance, it was exactly Xu Qing's appearance.
Finally, this outer shell was completely shaped.
And the naked body was on the open ground. With the wriggling of flesh and blood and the appearance of skin, it was rapidly disappearing.
When the last trace dissipated, a perfect body more than three hundred feet tall appeared in the abyss sea.
In the abyss sea, broad shoulders, a sturdy chest, muscles that fit the proportions and contained terrifying power, combined with that eerie appearance, made this body full of extreme evil.
Especially the hair of this body, its color was not black, but purple.
At this moment, the purple hair danced, making it even more evil and charming. At the same time, following the spread of divine power, a burst of holiness also dispersed from within this body. The temperament blended, enough to make everything seen heart-shaking. This was, a divine body!
It was just that, at this moment, the body, except for the purple long hair dancing with the wind blowing from the abyss sea, other parts couldn't move, and even the eyelids couldn't be opened.
Because it was still missing a soul suitable for its body, it had to take the last step, swallowing Xu Qing's soul, using its own divinity to transform into the divine soul of this body, thereby completing its true independence.
Once successful, it could... (Missing text in source)
After all, it was building a body suitable for itself as a divine finger clone. This was a beautiful dream, and also the dream that the old man Danqing longed for.
At this moment, this dream, it had completed most of it, only missing this last and simplest swallowing of the soul. After all, its essence was a god, and for a god to swallow a mortal's soul, it only needed an instant.
So the next instant, the divine finger that was still missing its body exploded from its body in the abyss sea, gathered in the abyss boundary, and headed straight for the depths of Xu Qing's sea of consciousness.
A cold and evil intent was perceived by Xu Qing's dim soul. He didn't go to struggle, but his fighting spirit still existed. Even if he lost control of his body, lost mastery of his divine sense, and lost perception of the outside world, he had a crazy thought.
The shadow was incomparably powerful to me back then, and its possession was something I couldn't resist at that time. So at this moment, this divine finger was something I couldn't resist to the current me.
Then, the purple crystal that made all ten Heavenly Palaces in my sea of consciousness tremble, which could stop the shadow's possession back then, could it also stop the divine finger's possession now!
Xu Qing's soul radiated a crazy thought. This was actually the reason he gave up resistance. He watched with his own eyes as divine power shaped an outer shell outside his body? He watched as the other party painstakingly did all this, waiting for the other party to come and swallow his soul.
In an instant, following the invasion of that cold and evil intent, following the arrival of the death crisis, the purple crystal in Xu Qing's chest seemed to be offended, erupting with a vast and earth-shattering power, spreading directly from the crystal, forming a supreme purple light sea that could suppress the ages, carrying dominance, heading straight for the divine finger's consciousness, crashing hard, emitting a rumbling sound, exploding in Xu Qing's brain like countless heavenly thunders.
Heaven moved and earth shook. Following the explosion, the divine finger's originally blurry consciousness was stimulated to wake up at this moment, letting out a shrill and horrified roar.
"This... what is this! Wrong. How could there be such an existence in this body! This is!"
This power was strongly horrifying, containing infinite terror toward the purple crystal. At this moment, as it echoed, the divine finger's consciousness retreated crazily. It didn't want to possess anymore.
Xu Qing had gambled correctly!
He recalled that after he obtained the purple crystal, the other party was basically passive. He hadn't seen it reveal any effect several times when he encountered life-and-death crises before, which could confirm that if he died, he died.
Only when the shadow possessed him back then did it erupt once.
It was enough to show that the purple crystal had no interest in the physical body, and didn't care whether he was in a life-and-death crisis; it only had interest in existences that wanted to possess.
The shadow back then was like this. The divine consciousness now was also like this.
At this moment, the divine consciousness radiated infinite terror. Its consciousness recovered, making it possess the ability to think and weigh, so it decisively gave up possession and retreated rapidly like a receding tide.
But the next instant, the purple crystal radiated terrifying fluctuations, and the purple light sea erupted, covering the divine finger's consciousness.
The divine consciousness let out a miserable sound, and a sealing power expanded directly from within the purple crystal.
"No!" The divine finger transmitted violent struggles, and the roar echoed in Xu Qing's brain.
Clearly, this moment was a life-and-death crisis even more intense than what Xu Qing had experienced just now.
Amidst this rapid struggle and resistance, in the abyss sea, that three-hundred-foot-tall body trembled violently. A ferocious ghost face faintly emerged on the chest of the body, protruding out, wanting to rush out.
The next instant, a piece of purple light like a giant hand expanded, shrouding it, and yanked it hard, pulling the ghost face back amidst screams.
The sound of despair rose in the divine finger's consciousness, more intense than ever before.
"Who exactly are you, and what exactly is this?"
This roar carried grief and indignation, and the madness at this moment was even more intense. Following the violent tremor of Xu Qing's giant body, the divine finger's consciousness transmitted, constantly struggling and wanting to flee.
But it couldn't do it. And Xu Qing also sensed something wrong. He discovered that the purple crystal's power was not without limits. At this moment, it couldn't complete it instantly like it did when sealing the shadow back then, but was in a tug-of-war with the divine finger's consciousness.
And his own soul also felt the pain of tearing, as if it were about to wither.
"It's not that the crystal's power is insufficient, but that I cannot support it to erupt with full power," Xu Qing realized, and then cold light flashed in his eyes. ===== CHAPTER 484 =====
Moreover, his own soul felt a tearing pain, as if it were about to wither away.
"It is not that the crystal's power is insufficient, but that I cannot support it in unleashing its full strength," Xu Qing realized, and then a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
