Chapter 988: The Shattered Supreme Divine Power

His speed is astonishing, rushing into the candlelight of the red candle in an instant, speeding forward.

Viewed from afar, he is like a meteor, whistling through the void, with momentum shaking the universe.

As he approaches, his body turns crimson rapidly, and endless light and heat rush toward him from the front.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing is enveloped in it.

There are countless shadows from this place rushing over, and at the same time, stars are collapsing and exploding continuously, wanting to block him.

It seems everything is blocking Xu Qing's approach.

This point is unreasonable!

Because according to the assimilation here, Xu Qing choosing this way, the red candle shouldn't block him. After all, he is like a moth to a flame.

It should just let him be.

But this blocking not only appears, but even intensifies with Xu Qing's speed; more stars self-detonate, and even the red candle's own flames are swaying violently.

Xu Qing's eyes flash, and without any hesitation, he transmits a divine thought. In the next instant, Little Shadow merges with him, his eyes turning pitch black, and everything before him collapses, directly becoming a picture.

Thereby avoiding the star's self-detonation and collapse.

As for the shadows that were originally invisible, a large number also appear in Xu Qing's eyes, and on them, Xu Qing senses anxiety and madness.

Their blocking is wave after wave.

Facing these, Xu Qing's speed increases, his cultivation base operates, all divine powers erupt, the power of authority flashes, the sun rises in his body, and regardless of his body turning crimson, even his soul is burning, he still rushes forward fiercely.

You won't let me pass, then I will pass!

In an instant, amidst the dissipation of countless shadows around him and the swaying of the red candle's firelight, Xu Qing's figure appears a thousand feet away from the red candle!

At such a close distance, Xu Qing's physical body is fine, but his soul can no longer bear it. Countless heat infiltrates his body along the cracks hidden in his flesh, gathering in his sea of consciousness, burning his soul.

The assimilation and dissolution spread over a large area.

At the critical moment, madness appears in Xu Qing's eyes. His soul flickers, directly turning into tens of millions of soul threads, rotating in his sea of consciousness, forming a vortex storm, thereby resisting the candlelight seeping in from the outside.

With this method, he rushes again.

Reaching five hundred feet.

His soul threads shatter in large numbers, burned into fly ash, and some disappear, turning into the shadows of this world.

But Xu Qing's speed is still erupting.

Amidst the whistling, three hundred feet, two hundred feet... until Xu Qing's soul threads are burned and disappear by more than ninety percent, with only a very small part left, Xu Qing's body finally crosses the distance.

Appearing on the red candle, appearing on the flame.

There, he sits cross-legged with eyes closed, sinking fiercely toward the candlelight below!

Wanting to extinguish this fire with his own physical body!

The candlelight also produces strong fluctuations at this moment, as if with its consciousness, it completely did not anticipate that Xu Qing's choice here would be to approach it.

This act of actively walking into death and actively stepping into a desperate situation is beyond its understanding.

And in the next instant, the red candle's flame roars violently, burning crazily, causing Xu Qing's body's sinking to pause, and at the same time, flames many times more intense than before sweep in all directions, enveloping Xu Qing's whole body.

His physical body is fine, but the fire pouring into Xu Qing's body constantly gathers in his sea of consciousness, constantly permeating his ruins.

His Alien Immortal School soul threads are decreasing rapidly, and they are about to be completely burned out.

But at this moment, Xu Qing opens his eyes suddenly, looking down at the red candle below.

"I don't know what relationship you have with the mask, but I know you have consciousness, so I deliberately spoke of assimilation to let you not stop me from approaching."

"Although I still didn't deceive you..."

Xu Qing's eyes flash.

"But you think I have no other choice besides wishing, is that right?"

This trip into the Boundary Source Secret Realm, Xu Qing gained a lot.

First, he saw the star map of the thirty-six star rings!

This map is vast, opening his world.

Secondly, he found the reason for the appearance of white dust in Xue Chenzi's threads of fate.

That bizarre wishing mask!

For unknown reasons, the red candle emitted malice, not allowing himself to leave, but wishing is still not Xu Qing's first choice.

Because... there is a guess that has been lingering in Xu Qing's heart for a long time.

Everything has been laid out on the table.

Based on the situation he faced before, no matter how he analyzes it, the method to leave seems to be only this one path of wishing.

This is highly likely the mandatory option left for him by the red candle!

Since that is the case, Xu Qing will not make a hasty choice.

Before researching that mask, he does not want to use it.

After all, this object is bizarre, and according to Xu Qing's understanding, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, especially the saying of wishing, which must have a price.

And clearly, according to the size of the wish, the price paid is also different.

Especially since the mask possesses a certain intelligence and is not a dead object, it is possible that there exists cunning and deception.

These, including the price, are all unknown.

And the price of wishing could be his own lifespan, could be a catastrophe, could be the people and things he cares about most in his heart, and could even be his memories and soul.

Everything is possible.

So he must be clear about what the price paid is.

Otherwise, once the wish is made, it cannot be undone, and the consequences are too great.

Only by being clear about the price can it be used reasonably.

This is also why Xu Qing attracted and collected it without saying the wish.

So, wanting to leave here, without being willing to follow the arrangement and walk the path of wishing, there is only one method to break the situation.

That is, rush to the most dangerous source, where the red candle is!

Extinguish it with his physical body!

Seek life from death, seek vitality in a desperate situation.

However, to achieve this, the first thing he must face is approaching.

Thus, Xu Qing spoke of assimilation, trying to let the conscious red candle let him pass.

Besides this, this choice of his to break the situation has another reason.

He believes in the toughness of his physical body!

In the star map of the thirty-six star rings, the Upper Desolation in the ninth star ring can pull the four terrifying marks in the East, West, South, and North. This point further confirms the terror of the Remnant Face.

Then, this physical body shaped by His flesh and blood must be able to withstand the burning of the candlelight.

The only flaw is his soul!

His soul cannot withstand the candlelight.

Regarding this, Xu Qing already has a choice!

"Then let's see, will you burn my soul first, or will my physical body extinguish you first!"

Amidst his words, under the intense burning of the candlelight seeping into his sea of consciousness, Xu Qing does not hesitate, decisiveness in his eyes, as he raises all nearly one hundred faint divine power marks in his ruins.

These divine power marks come from the Remnant Face's flesh and blood, and Xu Qing has not yet comprehended them one by one.

They raised Xu Qing's upper limit but also restricted Xu Qing's breakthrough, so for Xu Qing, if he really burns them, it can be considered a choice of weighing the pros and cons.

But Xu Qing's judgment has both right and wrong!

Those nearly one hundred faint divine power marks can indeed be burned to form a force resisting the candlelight, but they are not true divine powers, just illusory marks, similar to portraits.

How to burn them, the marks themselves cannot be erased, at most some impurities are burned out.

As a result, under the roaring of the candlelight, the effect is lower than Xu Qing's estimation.

Xu Qing's heart hardens; he has a second layer of preparation!

"Luck Divine Power!"

Xu Qing does not hesitate, immediately sacrifices his Luck Divine Power and sends it into the candlelight.

In the next instant, the Luck Divine Power burns in the candlelight, erupting with a large amount of divine nature, resisting the candlelight while also indirectly protecting Xu Qing's soul.

This act is crazy!

Burning divine power—this kind of thing has appeared very rarely since ancient times. On one hand, gods are reluctant, and on the other hand, the fire that can burn divine power is even more precious, requiring opportunity to encounter.

And at this moment, relying on the Luck Divine Power being burned, Xu Qing gains more time to persist, and his physical body roars as he sits on the red candle's flame.

The flame sinks and sways more violently, wanting to burn this physical body to ashes, but it cannot do so, and can only let the crimson physical body sink constantly!

But the red candle's resistance does not decrease, and more seeps into Xu Qing's sea of consciousness.

In Xu Qing's sea of consciousness, flames are towering.

The Luck Divine Power dissipates by ninety-nine percent under this constant burning, leaving only a trace!

After noticing this scene, Xu Qing's heart moves, and without too much thinking, he immediately sacrifices the Misfortune Divine Power, wrapping it around his body to resist the candlelight.

Roaring sounds echo in his sea of consciousness, more flames merge, increasing the burning, causing the Misfortune Divine Power to dissipate swiftly, and in the end, the same, only a trace remains!

After a moment of hesitation, the next divine power Xu Qing chooses to sacrifice is the Purple Moon!

The Purple Moon Divine Power wraps around Xu Qing, resisting the candlelight fiercely.

And Xu Qing's physical body, at this moment in the outside world, has completely sunk into the red candle's flame, constantly pressing toward the wick below!

The flame sways more violently, as if making a final struggle, reflected in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness is the massive dissipation of his Purple Moon Divine Power.

In the end, like the previous two divine powers, only a golden thread remains!

And just as Xu Qing gritted his teeth, about to sacrifice the Sound Divine Power, a bizarre scene that exceeded his expectations and also caused the greatest impact on the red candle appeared suddenly!

Luck, Misfortune, Purple Moon...

These three divine powers burned into golden threads actually attracted each other at this moment and intertwined.

Three golden threads, intertwining with each other, although not merging, as they wove together, the golden light emitted was even more brilliant.

Causing the candlelight to pause.

A terrifying aura erupted from the intertwining of these three divine power threads, spreading out.

This aura seems to transcend time and space, controlling all things, but it is vaguely incomplete.

But even if incomplete, the aura emitted is terrifying, surpassing all divine powers Xu Qing has seen in his life.

As for the specifics, before Xu Qing could sense it in detail, in the blink of an eye, this aura began to dissipate like a flash in the pan.

Because they, due to lack of completeness, appeared to be separating after the short intertwining...

Xu Qing's mind shakes, and he immediately sends these three intertwined divine power threads that are about to separate into the sea of consciousness candlelight to replace his soul to withstand the burning of the fire.

The flame erupts instantly. In the anxiety that the external candlelight is about to be extinguished, this red candle erupts completely, burning crazily. While the candle itself decreases, the flame merging into Xu Qing's sea of consciousness is also unprecedented.

Under their burning, the three divine power threads that would not have merged but were only briefly intertwined... actually show signs of wanting to merge.

The flame instantly surges; amidst the anxiety of the outside candle flame being about to extinguish, this red candle erupts completely, burning crazily. While the candle itself diminishes, the flame merging into Xu Qing's sea of consciousness is also unprecedented.

Under their burning, the three strands of Divine Authority that originally would not merge, and were only briefly intertwined... actually show signs of wanting to merge.
