Chapter 555: Boom Boom Boom! (12,000)
Zhao Xing snatched the note and looked at it, only to find three words: Zhi Zhen Tower.
He looked at the black robe in confusion, and the latter explained: "This round of crisis intelligence is judged as dangerous level, caused by a leak from Zhi Zhen Tower."
Dangerous level?
Zhao Xing frowned. Crisis intelligence was divided into many types. Generally, only when it reached the dangerous level would the Shadow Holy Temple take the initiative to notify high-level clients.
Like the last time the Master of Cold Food descended, it belonged to the extremely dangerous level. Generally, the extremely dangerous level had a relatively high mortality rate.
"Zhi Zhen Tower wants to kill me." Zhao Xing remembered Divine General Lian Yin, feeling a bit puzzled. Zhi Zhen Tower was just a place to obtain information; he hadn't heard that they also took assassination jobs.
"No," the black robe said lightly: "But it is news leaked from Zhi Zhen Tower."
"A deputy tower master sold the news that Qing Yuzi was in the Wuyi Great World to Divine General Qiong Yu of the Xi Tian King City."
"Based on the client's relationship with Qing Yuzi, and the fact that the Boundless True God once made a move in the Wuyi Great World, the temple infers that the high-level client is very likely to be near the source of danger, so it issued a crisis warning."
"Qing Yuzi has enough weight to attract large-scale pursuers."
"This time, the forces dispatched are only from the Xi Tian King City, but there are no fewer than thirty Divine Generals."
"Once the pursuit begins, the client's identity will inevitably be exposed, further triggering more powerful captures and pursuits."
"The number of Divine Generals will double, and it is even highly likely that a King will descend."
"Therefore, the Shadow Holy Temple suggests the client: escape from Qing Yuzi's side immediately."
After hearing the crisis intelligence, Zhao Xing couldn't help but be speechless.
He didn't expect Bowei to be right; when he and Qing Yuzi, two troublemakers, met, it would only lead to bigger trouble.
Just the ones coming to pursue Qing Yuzi were no fewer than thirty Divine Generals. If his existence was discovered during the pursuit, there would inevitably be more Divine Generals, and even a King might be drawn.
The Shadow Holy Temple's suggestion was not unreasonable.
"Qing Yuzi hasn't reached the second layer of divine seclusion and must rely on the Extinction World to hide. My Ming Li Shadowless Method hasn't reached the second layer either, and it's also impossible to be completely hidden."
"Crisis intelligence shouldn't have too much error." Zhao Xing remembered the last crisis intelligence, which said the Master of Cold Food would appear,
and he really did appear. Although there were some errors in the details, the general direction was not wrong.
Zhao Xing had long been mentally prepared for pursuit, and now that he knew, he was not panicked instead.
"Have the pursuing forces locked onto us? I wonder how much time we have to prepare?"
"Three days at most," the black robe said lightly.
"Understood."
Zhao Xing nodded, his heart penetrating through layers of whirlpools, returning to reality.
He immediately called Qing Yuzi back to discuss countermeasures.
"Damn Zhi Zhen Tower!" Qing Yuzi immediately cursed: "I knew these people in the gray industry weren't good birds; they don't follow the rules at all!"
"How many bounties are on us? If the profit is big enough, they can change their faces and go somewhere else to do it. Let's not talk about this now; seek revenge later, first think of a way to escape," Zhao Xing said.
"If it leaked from Zhi Zhen Tower, we are really locked on," Qing Yuzi took out the fate plate Divine General Lian Yin had given them. "Ordinary items are fine, but this thing is a Fate Master's fate plate; it's very simple to find us."
"Three days, can you set up a world teleportation array in the Storm Sea to run away?" Zhao Xing wouldn't set up arrays; he didn't have that many secondary professions. Old Qing could guest-star as an array master; he had reincarnated many times in the Reincarnation Realm.
"Three days is not enough," Qing Yuzi shook his head: "No matter what, this is a cross-world array; it takes at least seven days." "What about running away through conventional channels?"
"Then don't even think about it," Qing Yuzi pointed outside: "The boundary channel of the Extinction World is hard to break through; breaking through it would make quite a commotion, and the conventional entrances and exits must be watched."
"Now there is only one way left: fight a battle in the Storm Sea and fight for time to escape!"
Zhao Xing didn't speak, falling into thought.
Qing Yuzi waved his hand: "Don't think about summoning the Boundless True God either."
"You are a subordinate to others, not his biological son."
"You can't trouble the Boundless True God with everything, and you are out for training; you must first try to solve it yourself."
"From another level, now they are coming to get me, even if they send people, there is a limit. Thirty 'At-Ease' Divine Generals, equipped with some powerful treasures, should be about enough."
"In a battle of this level, whether to fight or flee, we still have a choice."
"If the Boundless True God intervenes, the battle level will inevitably rise, and then what the fate will be is not up to us."
"One less favor owed is one less; use the pill book once."
Zhao Xing also felt that what Qing Yuzi said made a lot of sense.
In addition, Bowei said that this battle was a battle in the closed loop of fate, so summoning the Boundless True God and escalating the battle would be inappropriate. I'm afraid the Boundless True God also knew this.
"I don't even want to use the pill book; this thing is too precious. What do you think of this?" Zhao Xing unfolded his world projection,
and seven bamboos appeared in front of Qing Yuzi.
Qing Yuzi curiously pressed his hand on the bamboo, then pulled it back like an electric shock, and then took a cold breath.
"Hiss. Don't tell me this thing is a firecracker!"
"It is a firecracker."
"My god, how did you raise it?" Qing Yuzi was shocked.
"Divine General Penglai's lifelong masterpiece, raised with divine soil combined with the Divine Treasure Method," Zhao Xing said.
"He said that within 30,000 World Yuan units, a peak Divine General must possess a Great Dao artifact to withstand the explosion of the mother bamboo. However, there are only seven mother bamboos; use one and there's one less."
"Divine General Penglai? Is that the disciple of King Di Zang on the Universe Boat?" Qing Yuzi's expression was strange: "I've heard of him. Rumor has it he loves peace, has a kind heart, and likes to raise small animals."
"The old man does like to raise small animals. There is a walrus waiting for me to save it in the future," Zhao Xing shrugged.
"Can the power of the firecracker be guaranteed?" Qing Yuzi still couldn't believe it. "Have you blown it up before?"
"I haven't blown it up. But Divine General Penglai has blown up many gods in an infinite loop; he has even blown himself up many times,
just to experiment with the best power of the firecracker."
"—" Qing Yuzi couldn't help but be speechless. Rumors really should just be listened to; if you really believe Divine General Penglai is a good person, you'd die without knowing how you died.
"Good, then let's blow up a few to try. If it really doesn't work, then use the pill book," Qing Yuzi said.
"I'll open a space for setting up the array in the Storm Sea now, and you plant the firecrackers around."
"Storm Absolute Breath Array, have you heard of it? I've been hiding in the Storm Sea for a reason. This Heavenly Time array assists the Wind God Domain, which can interfere with perception; even divine sense can be blown away."
"Twin Divine Mirror, can reflect space-time. After your firecrackers explode, it can perform a secondary imprint, making the explosion within a certain range repeat a second time."
"It's fine, this is a void-type artifact; it's originally a one-time consumable."
"Blow them up twice whether they are all there or not."
"To be safe, I have—"
"—The two plotted for a while, and a moment later, sinister laughter rang out in the boat."
■a8■■g
Outside the Storm Sea, at this time, Qiong Yu, the grandson of King Xi Tian, arrived at the boundary marker outside the Storm Sea with his men.
Divine General Qiong Yu sat on a chariot pulled by a strange beast, looking at the Storm Sea with eyes full of anticipation.
"This operation is the largest capture operation I have ever led."
"The Soul-Crossing Division, Divine Martial Division, Heavenly God Guard, Artisan God Division, and Eight Star Academy of the King City—all departments of gods, a total of thirty-six Divine Generals, eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldiers, and three top-grade divine objects were mobilized."
"This force, not to mention sweeping invincible, but catching a Qing Yuzi is more than enough."
"If this matter is done, I will surely become famous, and I can logically request my grandfather to establish a God Kingdom in the Wuyi Great World—my own God Kingdom!"
"By then, swallowing Zhi Zhen Tower is not impossible."
Thinking of Divine General Lian Yin's graceful dance and moving singing voice, Divine General Qiong Yu couldn't help but feel agitated.
Holding the power of the world in his hand, drunk on the knees of a beauty—this is the true 'At-Ease' God!
"Your Highness Qiong Yu, the sensing of the fate plate is in the Storm Sea," at this time, a figure appeared beside the chariot. "Relying on its sensing, we can quickly find the target's location."
Divine General Qiong Yu glanced at this person; it was the deputy tower master of Zhi Zhen Tower: "Yin Xuan, if this matter is done, I will fulfill my promise."
"Thank you, Your Highness," Yin Xuan offered the other fate plate in his palm, then bowed calmly and retreated.
Divine General Qiong Yu drew his long sword, holding the fate plate in one hand and pointing his sword at the Storm Sea with the other, high-spirited: "Action!"
"Roar," a purple crystal strange beast shaped like a centipede let out a low roar, pulling the chariot.
However, its voice was quickly swallowed by the endless wind disaster of the Storm Sea.
The howling wind blew, and this capture team quickly entered the Storm Sea, heading in the direction guided by the fate plate.
"They're coming," when Divine General Qiong Yu led the gods of the Xi Tian King City into the Storm Sea, Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi felt a palpitation.
Qing Yuzi, who was busy on a black land in a cyan space, couldn't help but pause.
He jumped to the edge of the land, in front of a mirror.
The mirror reflected a blurry picture, with only lines flowing globally; those were some early warning magic tools he had hidden in the wind disaster.
After a burst of adjustments by Qing Yuzi, many magic tools sent back some clear pictures.
Zhao Xing also ran over to observe.
He saw the mirror reflecting a rotating wind hole, and a war chariot surrounded by beast armor flew out of the wind hole.
The divine beast at the front was like a centipede, its shell filled with boiling star cloud blood plasma, and its thousand pairs of abdominal feet were like bronze counting rods. Wherever it went, it actually carved divination patterns in the howling wind.
The centipede's back was split with four tattered light wings, but they were magic tools made by humans.
The left wing had a black hole, and the right wing was a frozen Yang Star solar flare, jumping with miserable white cold flames.
With a light flap of the wings, the left side swallowed the endless howling wind, and the wind disaster on the right side solidified.
"The Tong Yuan clan, a specialty of the Xi Tian King City," Qing Yuzi smiled at Zhao Xing. "Because they are difficult to cultivate, this kind of war divine beast is not easily brought out. They really think highly of me."
"Tong Yuan divine beast?" Zhao Xing had also heard the name of this divine beast. They had two famous talents: one was good at suppressing space, and the other was good at swallowing the power of barriers.
The thousand feet of the Tongyuan can suppress the void for a hundred fathoms; on the battlefield, enemies cannot escape by fleeing into the void layers.
The talents of divine beasts were often stronger than those of the human race. 'At-Ease' Divine Generals, even at their peak, found it very difficult to escape into the void in front of Tong Yuan.
Only True Gods could do it, because in the level of controlling the origin of heaven and earth, True Gods were stronger.
The talent for swallowing barriers was even rarer. As long as it could lie on the barrier, a Tong Yuan could suck dry a small-to-medium high-grade divine object-led barrier in three days. Even top-grade divine objects could be affected.
Tong Yuan was known as a war divine beast, but Tong Yuan also needed guardians to cooperate. Tong Yuan alone didn't have strong defense,
and wasn't flexible enough.
So the Tong Yuan Zhao Xing saw now had people guarding it, and it was also covered with layers of defensive war armor.
"The four beside it should be the Xi Tian God Guards. These are the God Guards beside King Xi Tian. They actually mobilized four for his grandson."
As Qing Yuzi cast his spell, more pictures were seen in the mirror.
He saw four figures beside the Tong Yuan, three holding weapons—sword, spear, and blade—and one shirtless.
Their foreheads uniformly had two blood-red horns, but those were divine objects.
The double horns connected to the thick war armor of black and blood-red worn on the whole body, and there were some faint silver scales on the exposed arms.
The four stood there, as if they were a towering divine mountain.
"With Tong Yuan, there will almost never be a need to bring an array god. Among the remaining Divine Generals, one Fate Master, two Si Nongs, and one Priest are worth noting."
Qing Yuzi watched the team pass through his early warning magic tools. After passing through, some early warning magic tools were also crushed by two Si Nongs. One Si Nong god coldly crushed the small early warning magic tool, and the other handed it to the Fate Master behind him to observe Qing Yuzi in reverse.
His eyes were clearly looking straight ahead, as if looking at Qing Yuzi through the mirror.
As for the chicken-feather priest behind Divine General Qiong Yu, he had been drawing strange golden oil paint, with chicken-feather-like decorations on his head,
and had been closing his eyes.
"Being able to keenly detect the magic tools arranged by humans in the wind in the Storm Sea, these two Si Nongs must be Si Nong gods of the Heavenly Time school!"
"There are only a few Si Nong gods of the Heavenly Time school, and even under King Xi Tian, there are not many. These two have reached the Divine General level; they should be the Li Feng Divine General and the Blood Rain Divine General who often go out to fight."
Qing Yuzi, as expected, had mixed outside for many years and knew the details of major forces very well.
Across the mirror, Zhao Xing's panel couldn't observe their information at all; he had no idea who these people were.
"This Fate Master, did he see us?" Zhao Xing asked. In the mirror, the Fate Master was opening his mouth.
The mirror spirit also revealed some words:
"Qing Yuzi, you have been surrounded. Surrender now and pledge allegiance to His Highness Qiong Yu, and there is still a way to live."
Qing Yuzi sneered.
"He might be able to sense it, but he can't see through it. It's just posturing."
"Otherwise, this word should have passed through the twin mirror surface, imprinted on me, and struck the fate of surrender into my divine body."
"The most vigilant ones are those two Si Nongs and the Heavenly God Guards."
"As for that chicken-feather priest beside him," Qing Yuzi pointed to the one beside Divine General Qiong Yu.
"The way of the priest has already declined, no need to pay attention to it."
Qing Yuzi winked at Zhao Xing.
"Good, I understand," Zhao Xing also winked in response.
"—The way of the priest has already declined, no need to pay attention to it."
Divine General Qiong Yu sat on the chariot, and the Fate Master 'You Bo' beside him held a fate plate, broadcasting the 'idle talk' he had captured.
"Hahaha," Divine General Qiong Yu burst into laughter. "You Bo, this Qing Yuzi really has no knowledge, hahaha."
It's no wonder Divine General Qiong Yu mocked him, because the priest beside him was a big deal.
First of all, it was the Seven Geng Feathers, which corresponded to the seven major regions in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
It meant that this one beside him was the strongest Seven-Region Priest among the Divine Generals!
The sacrificial divine method could travel unimpeded in the seven major regions.
Kings had extensive friendships, and there were quite a few forces friendly with the Xi Tian King City.
o¢o
The seven feathers also represented the ability to borrow the divine power of seven Kings, including King Xi Tian.
It could be said that the biggest reliance beside Divine General Qiong Yu was this Ye Po Divine General, the Seven-Region Priest.
"He doesn't know the Seven-Region Priest, which is normal, because everyone who has seen Ye Po make a move is dead." The Fate Master You Bo said: "However, Qing Yuzi was able to escape from the Wu Shu King City until now, so Your Highness should not underestimate him."
"You Bo, rest assured," Divine General Qiong Yu nodded: "An evil god like Qing Yuzi is worth so much bounty, and even stole the secrets of the Wu Shu King City; he must have treasures on him."
"I didn't underestimate him; on the contrary, I value him highly, which is why I mobilized so many people."
"After catching him, first force him to reveal the secrets of the evil god side, such as who is lurking and what plans they have, and then ask about the secrets of the Wu Shu King City. I heard he even entered the Wu Shu Heavenly Secret Pavilion; absolutely cannot miss it."
In Divine General Qiong Yu's plan, killing Qing Yuzi to claim the bounty and becoming famous was just the final step.
Before the value on Qing Yuzi was squeezed dry, he couldn't die.
"You Bo, what is the situation now? Has he been scared into fleeing by your fate-fixing technique?"
After half a day, Divine General Qiong Yu asked again.
"No," the Fate Master shook his head. "However, we found that Qing Yuzi has three nests in the Storm Sea."
"Each nest has Heavenly Time laws, arrays, and tools guarding it."
"The distance between them is not close. According to my estimation, if he completes the teleportation array inside, he is very likely to escape, and only one point really has his existence."
"Using a feint to force us to divide our troops?" Divine General Qiong Yu sneered: "A mere hairy god, just full of tricks, but none of it has any meaning."
Divine General Qiong Yu brought enough people. If he had divided into three hundred nests, he would have been worried.
But with only three, it meant nothing.
The Storm Sea was not some old nest operated for a long time. Temporary nests couldn't delay for too long either.
No matter how you calculate it, Qing Yuzi couldn't escape his palm.
On the first day of obtaining the crisis intelligence, the people hadn't met yet, but the contest had already begun.
On the first day, Zhao Xing watched Old Qing open his eyes and tell lies. He clearly recognized the Seven-Region Priest and secretly urged himself to deal with the priest first, but deliberately 'idle talked' and looked down on the priest's existence.
At the same time, he also discussed with himself that the main attack target was Tong Yuan.
On the second day, the actual contest began.
Qing Yuzi took out the land from the Great View World and built three nests, densely packed with arrays.
The wind disaster in the Storm Sea was flowing, and the wind origin was rampant, so the nests Old Qing built were also flowing, to delay time.
"Borrowing the momentum of heaven and exerting the power of heaven—in the eyes of the Heavenly Time school Si Nong gods, the wind disaster in the Storm Sea is momentum and power."
"The two Heavenly Time school Si Nong gods mobilized by Divine General Qiong Yu are also controlling the wind disaster."
"You can imagine that I and Qiong Yu's group are standing on the same blanket, but they are chasing, and I am running."
"Now these two Si Nongs are pulling the blanket backward, causing the wind origin of the Storm Sea to gather towards them."
"If they have the upper hand, they can save time in finding me; if I have the upper hand, I can delay a bit more time," Qing Yuzi explained to Zhao Xing while casting spells.
Zhao Xing estimated that Old Qing was showing off a bit more, because Heavenly Time school gods were rare, so naturally he had to show off.
And Qing Yuzi did indeed have the 'upper hand'.
Zhao Xing estimated that Old Qing was showing off a bit more, as gods of the Heavenly Timing Faction were rarely seen, so naturally, one had to flaunt it a little.
In this way, the seven-day array setup time, as long as he fought for another three days, he could successfully escape and leave the Wuyi Great World, this place of right and wrong.
The fourth day ended.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two fake nests had their barriers easily pierced by the divine beast Yuan Tong brought by Divine General Qiong Yu.
A large amount of soil, spiritual energy, array materials, as well as more than a dozen divine power towers and Yin-Yang star explosions scattered out.
Although they were fake nests, Qing Yuzi also put in real effort, because fake ones could become real at any time.
When buying world array materials, he bought three copies himself and set them up at the same time, just to see which one could hide longer.
Because the key to the final array lay in driving it with the World Heart on the pendant.
Divine General Qiong Yu didn't divide his troops, so by the time he finished piercing two fake nests, it was already the end of the fifth day.
After entering the sixth day, the Fate Master 'You Bo' beside Divine General Qiong Yu suddenly received a bad hint.
He immediately transmitted his voice to remind Divine General Qiong Yu: "Young Master, the situation has changed. A fierce omen of the hour level has appeared in my prediction, although not continuous, but this is not a good phenomenon."
"What do you mean? Could it be that Qing Yuzi still has the power to resist us?" Divine General Qiong Yu frowned.
In the deduction, Qing Yuzi was only a late-stage Divine General, and there was only a late-stage Divine Soldier servant beside him.
He didn't underestimate Qing Yuzi; Tong Yuan could suppress the void for a hundred fathoms, which was already expected that Qing Yuzi had powerful escape divine objects.
The existence of the Ye Po priest was to prevent capsizing in the gutter, assuming Qing Yuzi had one-time consumables like King-level divine artifacts.
"In the process of him going to the God-Burial Cave, we have already deduced it many times over and over again," Divine General Qiong Yu said unhappily. "Now you tell me, catching a Qing Yuzi might capsize in the gutter?"
"Yes." Although the words were hard to hear, Fate Master You Bo still performed his duties. "I suggest abandoning this operation."
Qiong Yu's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He was a direct grandson with a prominent status.
But his father hadn't died yet, and his performance was also excellent. King Xi Tian couldn't bypass his excellent son to delegate power to his grandson.
Moreover, there was more than one direct grandson; Qiong Yu had older brothers above him, and the power he could share and the resources he could mobilize were not that great.
Uniting the gods of all departments to carry out this operation was an opportunity he fought for with all his might.
Now give up halfway?
He asked very unwillingly: "You Bo, I know your divination style is famously steady. Without an 80% possibility, you wouldn't suggest action."
"Just tell me, how much certainty is left now?"
You Bo stretched out a hand: "60%."
Divine General Qiong Yu was stunned. He mobilized so many people to catch a Qing Yuzi, and when it really came to the last step, it was actually only a 60-40 situation?
"Wealth does not compete with power; Young Master, your status is noble, there is no need to gamble." In the eyes of Fate Master You Bo, having only 60% certainty was already gambling.
However, in the Xi Tian King City, the Fate Master only gave suggestions; whether to adopt them or not depended on Divine General Qiong Yu, after all, he was the one giving orders.
After some thought, Divine General Qiong Yu said in a deep voice: "You Bo, I have decided to continue the action."
"From now on, you don't need to worry about the rest; you just calculate for me which place the missing 30% is in."
"Yes."
Time came to the Chou hour of the seventh day.
"Zhao Xing, it's your turn!"
Qing Yuzi sat in the center of the array, rubbing a light blue ball of light in his hand, his body appearing in double images.
"At most by the Yin hour, they will catch up."
"Absolutely do not let them enter the small world."
Zhao Xing, who had been closing his eyes to rest and adjusting his state, opened his eyes, a cold light flashing: "Understood."
Even without observing through the mirror, Zhao Xing could already vaguely perceive the chariot and warship of Qiong Yu traveling through the wind hole 30,000 World Yuan units away.
Swish—Zhao Xing appeared at the edge of the small world.
On the rock corner, the wind howled, and the Space-Time Grain Rain Magic Robe fluttered.
One shadow after another emerged from under Zhao Xing's feet, like seedlings growing wildly. The shadows condensed into a towering tree.
The 'Cangwu World Law' of the Self-Nature Divine Method.
It slowly stretched out of the small world and laid on the surface of the hurricane rivers.
It looked as if a big tree had fallen across the hurricane river.
Immediately after, the shadows spread and lengthened; this was to expand the control range of the internal world.
A large amount of soil appeared in the hurricane river, as if a river had really appeared here.
At the same time, plant troops emerged at this moment; the highest was only legendary level.
"One World Divine Splendor, Void Divine Seed!"
The spells of the Self-Nature school made these troops go crazy and transform, reaching the divine level in one leap.
Their lifespans had all been shortened to about seven days. This was the price of forcibly breaking the shackles of life. The Divine Splendor Method and the Mutation Method burned all their potential.
These native species born in the internal world, at this moment, there were more than three hundred of them, all briefly reaching the divine level, which was also the limit of Zhao Xing's ability.
However, these were just a smokescreen; for Divine General Qiong Yu's team, they were not worth fearing at all.
The reason Zhao Xing had to consume power to mutate was just to cover up the four firecrackers hidden among the more than three hundred troops.
"Four firecrackers, one rooted on the hurricane river, three hidden in the Cangwu World Law."
Then Zhao Xing held the pill book in his hand. If the firecrackers still couldn't kill the incoming enemy, then the pill book would be the final trump card.
Time passed, and after Zhao Xing finished arranging everything, he stood quietly on the periphery of the small world.
And when the time came to the Zi hour of the seventh day, Divine General Qiong Yu finally caught up.
A ship, containing eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldiers, and behind the ship was a Yuan Tong, with four God Guards standing beside it.
The hundred-armor chariot pulled by the Yuan Tong, Divine General Qiong Yu and some Divine Generals were all standing on the chariot.
"Hmm? Is Qing Yuzi crazy? Actually letting a late-stage Divine Soldier guard outside, how is this different from sending him to death?" Fate Master You Bo frowned and began to pinch his fingers.
However, Divine General Qiong Yu didn't intend to wait for any advice from him at all, immediately ordering the eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldiers to attack, intending to break through Qing Yuzi's small world in one fell swoop.
Now Divine General Qiong Yu knew that delaying for one more second, Qing Yuzi was very likely to escape through the teleportation array.
World teleportation array, this was something even Yuan Tong couldn't stop.
"Kill!"
Eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldiers jumped down from the divine ship. They uniformly wore Fire Source Divine Armor and held flaming divine spears.
They were all 'At-Ease' gods who had become gods by choosing the same origin.
Their hearts were connected, their roots were the same, and they practiced the same secret method. Their combat power was absolutely astonishing.
"Howling—" Looking from afar, this stream of fire, the outer flame was like a fire dragon, while the inside was a huge long spear.
The divine domain was both hard and soft. In an instant, the divine fire burned, and the temporarily mutated plants arranged along the way withered one after another, turning into ashes.
Such a scene, let alone a late-stage Divine Soldier, even a Divine General wouldn't dare to take it head-on.
However, Zhao Xing didn't retreat.
"At this time, those Divine Generals of Qiong Yu are still on the edge of the firecracker's power; must let them go deeper before exploding."
"Nine Marsh God, transform!"
The world of fire was suddenly torn apart. A figure with purple hair all over, but a silver body like metal, and eyes spraying fire appeared. A big hand like a mountain range spanned across, and the star cloud whirlpool in the palm constantly emitted black light, completely blocking the small world behind him.
"Nine Marsh God?!" Li Feng Divine General and Blood Rain Divine General looked at the huge Nine Marsh God in the distance in surprise. As the Heavenly Time school, the Hou Bian Method was their housekeeping skill; they naturally understood that this was transformed by a person.
"To have such a strong Hou Bian Method, could it be another Heavenly Time Si Nong god?"
"Shouldn't be. We two were specially requested by the Divine Venerable to King Gu Xiao to have the opportunity to become Heavenly Time Si Nong gods. Where did so many Heavenly Time gods come from in this era?"
"This Nine Marsh God's aura is so strong, it has reached the mid-stage of Divine General. Oh, I understand, it turns out he is relying on divine objects."
Li Feng Divine General and Blood Rain Divine General both saw that there were nine needles inserted in the Nine Marsh God's body, forming the main backbone.
It was also because of this that the Nine Marsh God's appearance was closer to a human form, rather than a beast form.
"I didn't expect Qing Yuzi to have such a guard, but he still has to die!" Divine General Qiong Yu looked coldly.
Eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldiers were the elites trained by the Xi Tian King City. From the moment these 'At-Ease' gods became gods, 【583-2
"Nine-Marsh God?!" God-General Lifeng and God-General Xueyu both looked at the massive Nine-Marsh God in the distance with some surprise. As members of the Heavenly Timing Faction, the Marquis Transformation Technique was their signature skill, so they naturally understood that this was transformed from a person.
"To possess such a powerful Marquis Transformation Technique, could he be another Heavenly Timing Agronomist God?"
"That shouldn't be; the two of us only obtained the opportunity to become Heavenly Timing Agronomist Gods after specifically requesting it from God King Gu Xiao."
"In this era, where would there be so many Heavenly Timing gods?"
"The aura of this Nine-Marsh God is so strong; it has already reached the mid-stage of a God-General. Oh, I understand now; it turns out he is utilizing a divine object."
God-General Lifeng and God-General Xueyu both saw that inside this Nine-Marsh God, nine needles were inserted, forming the main backbone.
It was precisely because of this that the Nine-Marsh God's form was closer to a human shape rather than a beast form.
"I didn't expect Qing Yuzi to have such a guard, but he must die all the same!" God-General Qiongyu watched coldly.
The eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers were elites trained by their Xitian God King City. From the moment these Free Gods became gods,
they had all chosen to cultivate the same origin.
With hearts beating as one, identical roots, and practicing the same secret technique, their combat power was absolutely astonishing.
"Boom!!!"
A hand as large as a mountain range swept across, while the black vortex in its palm continuously emitted a pulling force, tearing at the Fire Source Divine Domain.
The Cangwu World Law also lent its aid at this moment; the Fire Divine Domain was shrinking smaller and smaller, its exterior being torn to shreds.
No matter how much the flames surged, the world projection and the Nine-Marsh God's hand were always able to block them.
Colliding with each other, a stalemate unexpectedly emerged!
"Hmm? This is not the Nine-Marsh God's divine domain, but a type of World Law!" God-General Xueyu and God-General Lifeng were somewhat shocked.
"How can someone cultivate the Marquis Transformation Technique to the God-General level while also possessing such a powerful World Law? Is his internal world also at the divine level?"
They realized they had guessed the opponent's background wrong. At first, seeing the Nine-Marsh God, they thought the opponent belonged to the Heavenly Timing Faction; after all, having Heavenly Timing divine power made cultivating the Marquis Transformation Technique twice as effective, otherwise, it would be twice the effort for half the result.
But after seeing the opponent's World Law, they changed their minds; the strength of a World Law depends on the size of the internal world.
If the opponent wasn't an Agronomist God of the Self-Nature Faction, how could he be so strong just by concurrently cultivating a World Law?
"Roar!"
The Nine-Marsh God continuously let out roars. The flames were indeed causing Zhao Xing piercing pain, but this also ignited his ferocity.
"I have cultivated bitterly for many years, and even God-General Xufeng was defeated at my hands. Can these small fries not be crushed by a single blow from me?" Zhao Xing was also shocked by the quality of the divine soldiers from Xitian God King City.
In his view, no matter how many divine soldier-level beings there were, they were just a rabble.
After all, he had already defeated God-General Xufeng in the Divine Machine City.
"I have been studying the balanced path of the three Agronomist factions, and now I can simultaneously use the World Law and even Earthly Benefit Law spells while in the Nine-Marsh God transformation state."
"But must I be forced to use my full strength just to fight some Free God soldiers?"
Zhao Xing could still use the Mountain Law and Earth Palace Law at this time, but doing so would easily expose him.
Likewise, after two collisions, they were actually at a stalemate, and the Martial God-General commanding the eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers was also somewhat stunned.
"A divine soldier-level being, after a Marquis Transformation, blocked the combined attack of the eight hundred and fifty Fire Source Gods under my command?"
"Burn your divine power, all of you! This is your first time serving His Highness; you are only permitted to win, not to lose!" The Martial God-General transmitted his voice, roaring wildly.
In reality, the forces assigned by Xitian God King City directly to God-General Qiongyu were just him and these eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers; the rest were merely there to assist.
The ones truly sharing honor and disgrace with God-General Qiongyu were him and the eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers.
They were following Qiongyu, their young master, for the first time; they couldn't afford to lose face in their first battle.
"Kill!" The battle formation of eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers went completely mad, beginning to burn their divine power.
"Die!"
On Zhao Xing's arms, streaks of innate secret patterns flowed; the Void-Breaking Claw, Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Marrow, and Burning World Eye—one innate divine skill after another was poured out recklessly.
As the eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers continuously burned their divine blood, the hair and flesh of Zhao Xing's Nine-Marsh God body flew everywhere.
Under the waving of the Void-Breaking Claw, the armor on the eight hundred and fifty Free Gods also shattered, with fragments of armor flying about.
Both sides were fighting to the death, but despite burning their divine power, they still couldn't resolve the obstacle that was the Nine-Marsh God.
The eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers were firmly blocked at fifteen thousand world-element units outside the small world.
"Your Highness, let us take action." God-General Lifeng and God-General Xueyu spoke up.
They originally disdained to take action against a mere late-stage divine soldier, but time was passing, the possibility of Qing Yuzi escaping was increasing, and besides, the Nine-Marsh God before them had piqued their interest.
"Retreat!"
The eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers immediately turned around and retreated, returning to the divine ship.
And Zhao Xing also took the opportunity to retreat.
He did not retreat because he was afraid, but because he wanted to lure Qiongyu's team closer.
"Yo, this beast still knows how to distinguish between strength and weakness." Seeing Zhao Xing retreat, God-General Lifeng thought it was due to the deterrence from him and Xueyu. Zhao Xing ignored the opponent's provocation entirely, transformed back into human form, and continuously crushed tokens.
"Hum."
Eighteen suns floated out from inside the small world.
Looking closely, these eighteen suns were all imprisoned inside a lantern.
"Aurora Origin?"
"It's the Qian-Yuan Ten-Cold Array!"
God-General Lifeng and God-General Xueyu both stopped, because the space in front of them already had seasons, and it had become incomparably cold.
The Heavenly Timing origin within their bodies became sluggish; the Heavenly Timing Array countered the Agronomist Gods of the Heavenly Timing Faction.
They were not so easy to break through after all.
As soon as Xueyu and God-General Lifeng approached, Zhao Xing would attack; if they didn't approach, they couldn't break the Qian-Yuan Ten-Cold Array.
"Qing Yuzi is only ranked three hundred-something on the New God Ranking, but he happens to have a lot of money. Who doesn't use this kind of array in their home base or territory?"
"He actually carries it with him."
"Your Highness, this is a life-saving array that Qing Yuzi bought; in the short term, only Tongyuan can break it," God-General Xueyu and God-General Lifeng reported to God-General Qiongyu.
Just as Qiongyu was about to issue an order, the Fate Master You Bo transmitted his voice: "Your Highness, please release the chariot's tether and let Yuantong and the Four Divine Guards go ahead."
"What are you trying to say?" Qiongyu frowned.
"I always feel that this attendant beside Qing Yuzi is not simple; he seems to have a great background, but I cannot trace his roots for the moment, nor can I calculate who he is."
"You Bo, at a time like this, you still want me to wait?" God-General Qiongyu said: "You also said that catching Qing Yuzi can only be done within seven days. He doesn't know how many defensive treasures he has bought; we must take him down in one go now. If we wait any longer and let him escape, wouldn't it be a laughingstock?"
A Fate Master's divination was always just a reference for war, not a deciding factor.
Seeing that Qiongyu was determined to go all-in, You Bo had no choice but to continue working the Star Compass, striving to calculate the answer that was on the tip of his tongue as quickly as possible.
"All main gods of every department, move out! Take him down in one fell swoop!"
God-General Qiongyu took the lead, driving the chariot forward.
The distance of thirty thousand world-element units was quickly shortened by half.
And at this moment, You Bo's heart suddenly beat violently, his eyelids twitched, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He encountered a strong backlash, spat out blood with a 'puchi' sound, his spirit turned black, and his eyes became dull.
Yet he still struggled to look at the bloodstains on the ground, only to see the bloodstains forming two characters, which clearly read 'Zhao Xing'.
In the dark, murky blood, a faint red light shimmered, and in that light and shadow, there seemed to be a mountain formed by a pile of clocks.
At the very top of the mountain, there was a strangely shaped standing clock.
"Tick-tock."
You Bo heard such a sound.
And then, there was no then.
His divine essence began to annihilate under the backlash.
At the very last moment, he saw something shattering, all the wind stopped, and a flash of fiery red and gold simultaneously illuminated the space inside the cabin.
"What's going on, did the Fire Source divine soldiers take the field again—the gold should be the Seven-Domain Priests taking action. Sigh, should have escaped—" This was You Bo's final thought.
a-li-na
After Qiongyu closed in, Zhao Xing did not hesitate to detonate the firecrackers left behind by God-General Penglai.
In the ruins of the divine wood that had previously been burned to ashes, a black, illusion-like bamboo quietly appeared.
The firecracker, red to the point of being black, meant that its fire origin had condensed to the extreme; at the same time, it had been endowed by God-General Penglai with a dark origin to conceal its divine movement—this was another type of divine concealment for plant life.
The firecracker had nine nodes, and when each node shattered, it was as if even space itself shattered.
Yuantong, who was suppressing the void for a hundred fathoms, had its thousand feet shattered due to the explosion of the void, starting from the lowest foothold and shattering all the way to its torso.
The shrill screams had not yet begun before they were swept away by the second wave of space-time explosions.
Everyone only had time to be terrified; they were incapable of any remaining actions.
After the nine-node firecracker finished exploding, the area of over two hundred thousand world-element units in the Stormy Sea was completely cleared, replaced by a deep darkness.
A larger space-time explosion was spreading to the surroundings; at this point, Zhao Xing didn't even dare to detonate a second one.
Because he discovered that although he was performing a directional explosion, there were still intense echoes generated on his own side.
Zhao Xing had always thought that God-General Penglai blowing himself up was a deliberate test, or perhaps an exaggerated statement.
Now he didn't think so anymore.
He transformed back into the Nine-Marsh God state and even took out the Golden Wheel, Golden Jade Divine Water, and other divine artifacts to defend.
The aftermath of the explosion broke through more than a dozen defenses and even destroyed the Qian-Yuan Ten-Cold Array, yet it still destroyed his Nine-Marsh God body until only the skeleton remained.
And even the skeleton was still burning!
"Zhao Xing, what have you done? If you couldn't block it, you should have said so in advance—hiss!"
Qing Yuzi poked his head out from the violently shaking small world and saw the burning skeleton, as well as a doomsday scene of a world being destroyed.
"Heavenly Descent of Sweet Dew, Benevolent Water Rebirth!"
"Hurry!"
Qing Yuzi waved his sleeves, the cloud and rain patterns on his sleeves flickering, quickly enveloping Zhao Xing.
"Sizzle, sizzle."
The heat was scorching, and the skeleton continued to burn.
"My god, it actually can't be extinguished?"
"What kind of fire is this?"
Qing Yuzi increased his efforts, the sweet dew turning into a torrent as if it cost nothing.
Finally, the Nine-Marsh God's skeleton was rescued by him.
It was scalding hot.
"If you are in such a state, wouldn't Qiongyu and the others—hmm? Are there still survivors?"
Qing Yuzi immediately scanned the front.
He saw that in the space fragments ahead, which were continuously exploding, a chariot was shining brightly, and a majestic golden figure was protecting the chariot.
It was being cut by countless space fragments mixed with destruction and fire, yet it remained unaffected.
"The Seven-Domain Priest borrowed the divine power of a God King; there are still four survivors on that chariot."
"No, we must run quickly."
Seeing this situation, Qing Yuzi immediately abandoned the idea of delivering a finishing blow.
He immediately took Zhao Xing and jumped into the crumbling small world.
His body turned into streaks of afterimages, quickly activating the array, and finally placed the pendant into the array.
"A forced driving method; I don't know if it can go directly into the body, but running away is the priority now."
"Zhao Xing, don't play with firecrackers in the future; God-General Penglai is such a pervert—I told you that cultivating firecrackers to the divine level isn't something to be trifled with."
Amidst a flurry of muttering, blue light emerged from the ground around Qing Yuzi, circling him and a skeleton like fireflies, and then they quickly disappeared from the spot.
"Bang!"
The small world could no longer hold on and was obliterated by the continuously impacting aftermath.
When Zhao Xing woke up again, he felt only one word: pain!
He recalled the moment the firecracker exploded; his first feeling was just heat, and then all his origin senses dropped to the lowest point,
with only fire, chaotic space-time, and destruction remaining!
When the space-time destruction triggered by the explosion occurred, Zhao Xing knew he was in trouble and immediately retracted his world projection to prevent the remaining firecrackers from exploding as well.
Then he quickly took out divine artifacts to resist, and after seven or eight divine artifacts collapsed, he had no choice but to use the Nine-Marsh God's divine body to withstand it.
"You're awake?" Qing Yuzi walked over carrying a jar.
Zhao Xing looked up and saw that he was lying in an ice coffin, discovering that he was surrounded by bottles and jars, with a strong medicinal smell.
"Where am I?"
"Inside the Black Ring," Qing Yuzi said. "As for the general location, I don't know where we are either, but we should have arrived at our destination. Look."
"Hmm?" Zhao Xing saw Qing Yuzi summon a water screen; in the distant starry sky lay a massive corpse, almost large enough to fill the First Ancestral Star System of the Origin Heavenly Palace.
"Originally, we were supposed to teleport directly into God King Yuheng's body, but there was a slight deviation," Qing Yuzi said. "At the time, I saw that some people hadn't died, so I couldn't care about that much."
"There are some who didn't die?" Zhao Xing widened his eyes. He hadn't even borne the main force of the firecracker and was injured to this extent.
"What's so strange about that? The Seven-Domain Priest beside Qiongyu can borrow God King power, so it's normal for him to survive, but the others weren't so lucky. Anyway, when I left, I only saw four still alive."
"God-General Penglai is truly a pervert," Qing Yuzi threw a towel aside, feeling somewhat emotional: "This firecracker is the most powerful one I have ever seen."
"The Earth-Hidden God King of the Ancient Hill was actually able to cultivate such a disciple—I always thought the Earth-Hidden Law was just an auxiliary method for farming; I never imagined it would be so powerful."
"I didn't expect it either." Zhao Xing smiled bitterly; he still couldn't move and didn't know how badly injured he was.
After checking his panel, he was stunned to find that one hundred thousand years of his lifespan had vanished, his true spirit and sacred body were shown as broken and severely injured, and his luck had temporarily dropped to the twentieth level.
"Don't get up; it will take you another hundred or eighty years to recover," Qing Yuzi said, opening the ice coffin, draining the old medicinal liquid, and pouring in new liquid.
Zhao Xing felt an itch on his body as granulation tissue continuously knotted and grew.
"Lying here like this isn't a solution; can messages be sent from here?"
He had to report his safety to the Immeasurable True God.
"You can." Qing Yuzi waved his hand, and a jade plate appeared on the ice coffin. "You and I are both famous people now; the Shadow Sacred Hall has even raised our rankings by several levels, and there are bounties as well—see for yourself, but don't play for too long."
"Get well soon; I'm waiting for you to explore the internal world of God King Yuheng together."
