Chapter 891: The First Step Completed

After Eerie Ghost Transformation, Xu Qing's right hand was transparent, but inside were five drops of blood, forming a pentagonal pattern.

Even Eerie Ghost Transformation could not conceal these five drops of blood.

One could see the extraordinariness of these five drops of blood.

And within the altar, the moment Xu Qing's right hand grabbed, the Immortal Zixuan High Cyan Lamp shook violently, rising into the air on its own, about to fly toward Xu Qing.

But just at this moment, the five coffins around suddenly trembled, each emitting the royal bloodline aura, merging with the flames here, turning into a giant golden hand!

Grabbing fiercely toward the rising Immortal Zixuan High Cyan Lamp!

At the same time, there were bursts of roars unlike human voices coming from within the coffins, and the lids of the coffins were also trembling, as if they were about to be pried open!

Additionally, the power of the flames here also erupted more violently in an instant!

The terrifying high temperature and the divine aura capable of suppressing souls caused Xu Qing's translucent right hand, transformed by Eerie Ghost Transformation, to burn immediately!

The Great Profound Heaven Armor and his divine flesh could not withstand this high temperature at all; in an instant, his right hand was visibly about to turn into fly ash!

Only the divine authority within his body could persist a little longer, but it could not change the shattering process of his right hand at this moment!

Seeing his right hand about to shatter like a moth to a flame, Xu Qing did not pause in the slightest, nor did he slow down at all; the five drops of fresh blood within his broken arm were stimulated by him!

In the burning of these flames, these five drops of fresh blood fell abruptly toward the five coffins on the altar!

A more pure, more ancient royal bloodline fluctuation erupted within these five drops of blood!

Forming bloodline suppression.

The golden hand formed by the coffin aura could not block it at this instant, being penetrated by these five drops of fresh blood, and the next instant, they landed on the different coffins!

The moment they landed, those five constantly trembling coffins suddenly paused, the roars within them also disappeared in an instant, becoming quiet!

At the same time, the golden hand formed by their aura also stiffened in mid-air!

As for Xu Qing, his right hand, which had shattered by more than half, had already grabbed the flying Immortal Zixuan High Cyan Lamp.

Pulling outward fiercely!

This lamp finally flew out of the gap!

The moment it left the altar, the trembling of the five coffins appeared again, the roaring sound was the same, and the endless unwillingness within was extremely intense!

But the five drops of fresh blood that had landed on them shone at this moment,

suppressing them once again!

At the same time, Xu Qing's right hand also turned into fly ash, but his left hand lifted instantly to grab the lamp that had been brought out, his body retreating rapidly!

All this took a long time to say, but in reality, from Xu Qing's clever charge into the flames to his current rapid retreat, it all happened in a flash of lightning!

Little Shadow could no longer support itself, rapidly dimming and collapsing, turning into countless afterimages, scattering in all directions!

And the Divine Vine also reached its own limit, retreating with most of its body withered!

Thus, the traction force dissipated, and the flames immediately recovered from their tilted state!

And even more violent roars came from the five coffins within the flames; even the coffins themselves developed cracks under this intensity!

An unstable fluctuation rose outside the altar!

Losing the important lamp meant losing the integration of the Immortal, and the violent divine aura now had no neutralization, so... this ritual naturally suffered a backlash!

The terrifying pressure within the flames became increasingly intense!

This scene made the Eleventh Prince laugh!

It made the ministers silent!

It made that old eunuch emit a miserable sound!

And Xu Qing at this moment could not care about these; as his figure sped away, he had already put away the Immortal Zixuan High Cyan Lamp that had filled the gap, and at the same time, his lost right arm grew back under the special nature of his divine body, amidst the excruciating pain of tearing flesh!

Although a sense of weakness inevitably arose, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his mind recalling the scene from a few months ago within his own Upper Spirit Mansion,

the method to take the lamp that he had discussed with Immortal Zixuan!

This method was a train of thought proposed by Immortal Zixuan, perfected together by the two of them!

Immortal Zixuan's sensing of that lamp was very accurate, especially in the few years Xu Qing had left the Imperial Capital; Immortal Zixuan appeared to be in seclusion, but in reality, she had used many secret techniques to obtain more information!

Those five drops of fresh blood were exactly Immortal Zixuan's origin blood, specifically prepared for those five coffins, and with this blood, the coffins could be suppressed for a short time!

In this way, the process of taking the lamp could be smoother!

At the same time, they had also discussed other steps, but this god-becoming fire made too many methods lose their

effect, so Xu Qing could only take a risk!

However, after taking back the Immortal Zixuan High Cyan Lamp at this moment, a strange feeling instinctively rose in Xu Qing's heart!

"It seemed like a risky gamble, but this process seems... too smooth!"

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, put away Little Shadow and the Divine Vine, and continued to retreat!

And at this moment, as Xu Qing retreated, on the altar that had lost its lamp, roars rose to the sky, and the next instant, the coffins collapsed and exploded!

But before any remains or figures could rush out from within, the golden flames surrounding the altar rolled back fiercely!

The backlash had appeared!

The high temperature within erupted instantly, and amidst the roaring sound, it swept through everything inside!

Those five coffins bore the brunt, instantly turning into fly ash under the backlash of this divine fire, as did the remains within them, and even the altar itself!

Everything, everything, under the backlash of this golden fire, turned to dust...

And the golden flames also gradually dissipated and extinguished at this moment, having lost their nourishment!

The god-becoming aura that had filled all directions also dissipated at this moment, and the heavens and earth returned to normal!

Thus, it failed.

The Eleventh Prince's laughter spread in all directions, the sense of satisfaction contained within it was extremely intense, and then he looked toward the Human Emperor!

And at this moment, the human ministers inside and outside the Ancient Emperor Star also had complex hearts, but most breathed a sigh of relief, only the anxiety about the future could not help but constantly sprout in their hearts!

But the next instant, the Eleventh Prince's laughter suddenly stopped, and a sense of unease rose in his heart!

Because he did not see the slightest ripple on the Human Emperor's face.

At this moment, the Human Emperor, whose body still had more than half of the iron chains that had not broken, remained calm even after seeing his god-becoming ritual fail!

The unease in the Eleventh Prince's heart became increasingly intense, and just as he was about to speak...

But just at this moment, the ash formed by the altar and remains burned by the divine fire actually rushed toward the Human Emperor, in groups and patches, reaching the front of the Human Emperor in an instant!

Under the Human Emperor's inhalation, these dust particles... fell one after another into

his mouth, and were swallowed by him!

The sky roared, and the earth trembled!

The Ancient Emperor Star also shook at this moment!

The churning of destiny was extremely violent.

A god-becoming aura, countless times stronger than before, actually erupted again from its dissipated state at this instant.

Only this time, the source of the eruption was no longer the altar that had turned to fly ash, but... the entire Ancient Emperor Star.

The Ancient Emperor Star was actually burning.

Golden flames, far richer than before, and to a degree simply incomparable, burned boomingly with the Ancient Emperor Star as the core!

The entire Imperial Capital was trembling, and the entire Imperial Capital Domain was fluctuating!

It was truly... this god-becoming ritual that had appeared again was too terrifying!

All of this caused the human ministers inside and outside the Ancient Emperor Star to have changes in their hearts, and what caused the greatest churning in everyone's minds... was the battle between the Zhenyan King and that old eunuch!

These two, who had been locked in a life-and-death struggle, now retreated amidst the roaring, the Zhenyan King arriving beside the Eleventh Prince, his expression as usual!

And the old eunuch had returned to the Human Emperor!

Standing behind the Human Emperor, he spoke respectfully!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the first step of the god-becoming ritual has finally been successfully completed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all directions lost their voices!

At this moment, everyone understood that the old eunuch's previous words and actions attempting to stop Xu Qing were clearly just a performance!

The key to this performance was the god-becoming ritual that had been destroyed by Xu Qing.

And now, the eruption of the entire Ancient Emperor Star already indicated that the shattering of the five-cornered altar was not only within the Human Emperor's plan but also... a part of the true god-becoming ritual.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes; although his actions earlier seemed dangerous, in reality, he had always had a feeling that this matter was too smooth!

Looking at it now, his feeling was correct!

But this did not affect his decision; he would not participate in or judge the matters here!

Having retrieved the Immortal Zixuan High Cyan Lamp was enough!

Xu Qing retreated a bit and simply sat down cross-legged!

And as for the Human Emperor, the iron chains on his body were still continuously breaking; from his expression, one still could not see any ripples, only calmly looking at the Eleventh Prince, whose expression had changed greatly, and speaking indifferently!

"Is there more?"

The Eleventh Prince's face was pale, looking at all this, a gloomy intent appearing in his eyes, and beside him, the Zhenyan King spoke hoarsely!

"Ning Chang, there is no need for such an expression; this matter was already within our expectations!"

Upon hearing this, all the abnormalities on the Eleventh Prince's face instantly disappeared,

and he began to laugh!

"Although it was within expectations, I still hoped that such a situation would not occur; however, after all, he is the Human Emperor. No matter how I deliberately fluctuated my emotions, he remained calm from beginning to end. It is very boring!"

"However, by now, I don't need to exaggerate my emotions anymore!"

The Eleventh Prince spoke with regret, bowing toward the Human Emperor!

"Father Emperor, you want to see my preparations, then... just keep watching!"

After finishing his words, Ning Yan suddenly raised his hand, patted his forehead, and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood!

At the same time, with a wave of his hand, eleven small bottles appeared out of thin air, each shattering, and they actually all contained fresh blood!

Combined with the mouthful he spat out, there were twelve clusters in total!

The moment they appeared, the royal bloodline fluctuation within these twelve clusters of blood soared to the sky!

Once these bloods appeared, the First Prince, Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, and Tenth Prince, who had retreated to the edge of the Altar of Heaven, all had their expressions change; they felt

their own blood within these blood clusters!

Not only were they like this, but at this moment, the princes and princesses who had not entered the Ancient Emperor Star also had similar sensations!

"This is all the blood of my brothers and sisters that I have secretly collected over these years, including my own!"

The Eleventh Prince spoke softly!

"Today, with the blood of the Human Emperor's offspring, I open the vortex of destiny, avoid the human race's great array, bypass the limits of the Imperial Star, and form the gate of heaven and earth."

The Eleventh Prince pinched a seal with both hands and waved fiercely; immediately, these

twelve clusters of blood all rose into the air, forming a huge blood-colored vortex in the mid-air of the Ancient Emperor Star!

Amidst the deafening rumbling sound, a traction force radiated from within the vortex, as if a passage had been opened.

A terrifying aura was descending from within! ===== CHAPTER 892 =====
