Chapter 583: Boom, boom, boom! (Twelve thousand)
Zhao Xing snatched the note and looked at it, only to find three words: True Truth Tower.
He looked at the Black Robe in confusion, and the latter explained: "This round of crisis intelligence is judged as danger-level, caused by the leak from the True Truth Tower."
Danger-level?
Zhao Xing frowned. There were many types of crisis intelligence. Generally, only when it reached the danger level would the Shadow Saint Hall take the initiative to notify high-level clients.
Like the last time the incarnation of the Lord of Cold Food descended, it belonged to the extremely dangerous level, and generally, the extremely dangerous level belonged to those with a relatively high mortality rate.
"The True Truth Tower wants to kill me." Zhao Xing remembered God General Lian Yin, feeling somewhat puzzled. The True Truth Tower was just a place to obtain intelligence; he had never heard of them taking assassination jobs.
"No." The Black Robe said indifferently: "But it is news leaked from the True Truth Tower."
"A Vice Tower Master sold the news that Qing Yu Zi was in the Ti Yi Great World to God General Qiong Yu of God King Xi Tian's city."
"Based on the client's relationship with Qing Yu Zi, and the fact that the Boundless True God had once taken action in the Ti Yi Great World, the Saint Hall speculates that the high-level client is very likely to be by the side of the source of danger, so it issued a crisis warning."
"Qing Yu Zi has enough weight to attract large-scale pursuers."
"The forces dispatched this time only involve God King Xi Tian's side, but there are no fewer than thirty God Generals."
"Once the pursuit begins, the client's identity will inevitably be exposed, which will then trigger even more powerful captures and pursuits."
"The number of God Generals will double, and it is even highly likely that a God King will descend."
"Therefore, the Shadow Saint Hall suggests the client: escape from Qing Yu Zi's side immediately."
After hearing the crisis intelligence, Zhao Xing could not help but be speechless.
He did not expect Bo Wei to be right; when he and Qing Yu Zi, two troublemakers, got together, it only caused even bigger trouble.
Just the ones coming to pursue Qing Yu Zi were no fewer than thirty God Generals. If they discovered his existence during the pursuit, there would inevitably be more God Generals, and it might even attract a God King.
The Shadow Saint Hall's suggestion was not without reason.
"Old Qing has not reached the second layer of divine hiding and must rely on the Extinction Realm to hide. My Ming Li Shadowless Method has not reached the second layer either, so it is impossible to be completely hidden."
"The crisis intelligence shouldn't have too much error." Zhao Xing remembered the last time the crisis intelligence said the Lord 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 to deal with the pursuit, so 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 indifferently.
"Understood."
Zhao Xing nodded, his mind penetrating through layers of whirlpools, returning to reality.
He immediately called Qing Yu Zi back to discuss countermeasures.
"Damn True Truth Tower!" Qing Yu Zi immediately cursed: "I knew these people doing gray business weren't good birds; they don't follow the rules at all!"
"How many bounties are on you and me? If the profit is big enough, they can change their faces and do it elsewhere. Let's not talk about this for now; let's think of a way to escape." Zhao Xing said.
"If the leak came from the True Truth Tower, you and I are probably really locked on." Qing Yu Zi took out the fate plate that God General Lian Yin had given them back then. "Ordinary objects 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 did not know how to set up formations; he didn't have that many side professions. Old Qing was good at it. He had reincarnated many times when he was in the Reincarnation Realm, so he could guest-star as a formation master.
"Three days is not enough." Qing Yu Zi shook his head: "No matter what, this is a cross-realm formation; it would take at least seven days. "What about running away through conventional channels?"
"Then don't even think about it." Qing Yu Zi pointed outside: "The boundary channel of the Extinction Realm is very hard to break through, and breaking through it would cause quite a commotion, while the conventional entry and exit points must definitely be watched."
"There is only one path left now: fight a battle in the Storm Sea and fight out a time to escape!"
Zhao Xing did not speak, falling into thought.
Qing Yu Zi waved his hand: "Don't think about summoning the Boundless True God either."
"You are a subordinate working for him, 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 that they are coming to take me, even if they send people, there is a limit. Thirty Free God Generals, plus some powerful treasures, is 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 level of the battle will inevitably rise, and then what fate holds will not be for us to say."
"Let's owe one less favor; use the cinnabar books once."
Zhao Xing also felt that what Qing Yu Zi said made a lot of sense.
Besides, Bo Wei had said this battle was a battle in the closed loop of fate, so summoning the Boundless True God and escalating the battle would be inappropriate, and the Boundless True God likely knew this too.
"I don't even want to use the cinnabar books; this thing is too precious. What do you think of this?" Zhao Xing unfolded his world projection,
and seven bamboo stalks appeared before Qing Yu Zi.
Qing Yu Zi curiously pressed his hand on the bamboo, then pulled it back as if electrocuted, and then gasped.
"Hiss. Don't tell me this thing is a firecracker!"
"It is a firecracker."
"My god, how did you raise it?" Qing Yu Zi was shocked.
"A masterpiece of God General Peng Lai's life, raised with divine soil combined with the God-Hiding Method." Zhao Xing said.
"He said that within thirty thousand realm units, a peak God General must possess a Great Dao divine artifact to withstand the explosion of the mother bamboo. However, there are only seven mother bamboos, and one is used for every one less."
"God General Peng Lai? The disciple of God King Di Zang on the Universe Boat?" Qing Yu Zi's expression was strange: "I heard of him; rumor has it he loves peace, has quite a kind heart, and likes to raise small animals."
"The old man does indeed 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 Yu Zi still didn't quite dare to believe it. "Have you exploded one?"
"I haven't exploded one. But God General Peng Lai exploded many gods in an infinite loop, and he even exploded himself many times, just to experiment with the best power of the firecracker."
"—" Qing Yu Zi was speechless. Rumors were really just something to listen to; if one really believed God General Peng Lai was a kind person, one would die without knowing how.
"Good, then let's explode a few to try; if it really doesn't work, we'll use the cinnabar books." Qing Yu Zi said.
"I'll open a formation space in the Storm Sea now, and you plant the firecrackers around."
"Have you heard of the Storm Absolute Breath Formation? I've been hiding in the Storm Sea for a reason; this Heavenly Time formation assists the Wind God Domain and can interfere with perception; even divine sense can be blown away."
"The Twin Divine Mirror can reflect space-time; after your firecrackers explode, it can perform a secondary rubbing, making the explosion within a certain range repeat twice."
"It's fine, this is a void-type divine artifact, it was originally a one-time consumable."
"Explode them twice, whether the people are gathered or not."
"To be safe, I have—"
"—the two of them 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 direct grandson of God King Xi Tian, arrived at the boundary marker outside the Storm Sea with his men.
God General Qiong Yu sat on a strange beast chariot, his eyes full of anticipation as he looked at the Storm Sea.
"This operation is the largest capture operation I have ever led."
"The Soul-Crossing Division, Divine Martial Division, Heavenly God Guard, Craftsman God Division, and Eight Star Academy of the God King City, all departments of gods, a total of thirty-six God Generals, eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers, and three supreme divine objects were mobilized."
"This force, not to mention sweeping across everything, is more than enough to capture a Qing Yu Zi."
"If this matter is done, I will surely become famous, and I can logically request my grandfather to establish a God Kingdom in the Ti Yi Great World, my own God Kingdom!"
"By then, swallowing the True Truth Tower will not be impossible."
Thinking of God General Lian Yin's graceful dance and moving singing voice, God General Qiong Yu could not help but feel his heart surge.
Holding the power of the world in his hands, drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty—this is the true Free God!
"Your Highness Qiong Yu, the induction of the fate plate is within the Storm Sea." At this moment, a figure appeared beside the chariot. "Relying on its induction, we can quickly find the target's location."
God General Qiong Yu glanced at this person; it was the Vice Tower Master of the True Truth Tower: "Yin Chen Xuan, if this matter is done, I will fulfill my promise."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yin Chen Xuan offered the other fate plate in his palm, then bowed calmly and retreated.
God 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, full of spirit: "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.
Woo-hoo, the wild wind blew, and this capture team quickly entered the Storm Sea, heading in the direction guided by the fate plate.
"They are coming." When God General Qiong Yu led the gods of God King Xi Tian's city into the Storm Sea, Zhao Xing and Qing Yu Zi felt a palpitation.
Qing Yu Zi, who was busy on a piece of black land in the Great View Realm, also paused his hands.
He jumped to the edge of the land, in front of a mirror.
The mirror reflected a blurry scene, with only lines flowing throughout, which were some warning magic tools he had hidden in the wind disaster.
After some adjustments by Qing Yu Zi, many magic tools sent back some clear images.
Zhao Xing also ran over to observe.
He only saw the mirror reflecting a rotating wind tunnel, and a war chariot surrounded by beast armor flying out of the wind tunnel.
The strange beast at the very front was like a centipede, with boiling star cloud plasma inside its shell, and a thousand pairs of abdominal feet like bronze counting rods. Wherever it went, it actually carved divination patterns in the wild wind.
Both sides of the centipede's back had four broken light wings, but they were man-made magic tools.
The left wing had a black hole on it, and the right wing was a frozen Yang Star solar flare, jumping with pale cold flames.
With a light flap of its wings, the left side swallowed the endless wild wind, and the wind disaster on the right side froze.
"Strange beast Tong Yuan clan, a specialty of God King Xi Tian's city." Qing Yu Zi smiled at Zhao Xing, "Because they are very difficult to raise, this kind of war divine beast does not easily show its head. They really think highly of me."
"Strange beast Tong Yuan?" Zhao Xing had also heard the name of this divine beast. They had two famous talents: one was being good at suppressing space, and the other was being good at devouring the power of barriers.
Tong Yuan's thousand feet could suppress the void for a hundred fathoms; on the battlefield, enemies could not escape by hiding in the void layer.
The talents of divine beasts were often stronger than those of humans. Free Gods, even at their peak, found it very difficult to escape into the void and teleport away in front of Tong Yuan.
Only True Gods could do it, because in terms of controlling the origin of Heaven and Earth, True Gods were stronger.
The talent of devouring barriers was even rarer. As long as they could lie on the barrier, a Tong Yuan could suck dry the barrier dominated by a small or medium-sized high-grade divine object in three days. Even supreme 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 did not have strong defensive power,
nor was it flexible enough.
So the Tong Yuan Zhao Xing saw now had guardians beside it, and was also covered with layers of defensive war armor.
"The four beside it should be the Xi Tian Divine Guards; these are the divine guards beside God King Xi Tian. They actually dispatched four to his grandson."
Following Qing Yu Zi's spellcasting, the mirror showed even more images.
He only saw four figures beside the Tong Yuan, three holding weapons—sword, spear, and blade—and one with his upper body bare.
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 mottled colors worn on their whole bodies, and there were some faint silver scales on their exposed arms.
The four of them stood there, as if they were towering divine mountains.
"With Tong Yuan, they almost won't bring formation gods anymore. Among the remaining God Generals, one Fate Master, two Si Nongs, and one Priest are worth noting."
Qing Yu Zi was worthy of having mixed in the outside world for many years, knowing the details of major forces very clearly.
Through the mirror, Zhao Xing's panel could not observe their information at all, completely unaware of who these people were.
"This Fate Master, did he see us?" Zhao Xing asked. The Fate Master in the mirror was opening his mouth, opening and closing.
The mirror artifact spirit also revealed some characters:
"Qing Yu Zi, you are already surrounded. Surrender now and pledge allegiance to His Highness Qiong Yu, and there is still a way to live."
Qing Yu Zi sneered.
"He might be able to sense us, but he can't see through us. It's just posturing."
"Otherwise, this text should have passed through the twin mirror surface, printed onto my body, and struck the fate of surrender into my divine body."
"The ones to be most vigilant against are the two Si Nongs and the four Heavenly Divine Guards."
"As for that chicken-feather priest beside him." Qing Yu Zi pointed to the one beside God General Qiong Yu.
"The way of the priest has already declined, no need to pay attention to it."
Qing Yu Zi winked at Zhao Xing.
"Good, I understand." Zhao Xing also winked back in response.
"—The way of the priest has declined, no need to pay attention to it."
God 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." God General Qiong Yu burst into laughter upon hearing this. "You Bo, this Qing Yu Zi really has no knowledge, hahaha."
It was no wonder God General Qiong Yu mocked him, because the priest beside him had quite a story.
First was the Seven-Root Feather; it corresponded to the seven great regions in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
It meant that this one beside him was the strongest Seven-Region Priest among God Generals!
The Priestly Divine Method could travel unimpeded in the seven great regions.
God Kings had broad social circles, and there were quite a few forces friendly with God King Xi Tian's city.
o¢o
The seven feathers also represented the ability to borrow the divine power of seven God Kings, including God King Xi Tian.
It could be said that the greatest reliance God General Qiong Yu had beside him was this Seven-Region Priest, God General Ye Po.
"He doesn't know the Seven-Region Priest, which is also normal, because those who have seen Ye Po take action are all dead." Fate Master You Bo said: "However, Qing Yu Zi was able to escape from God King Wu Shu's city until now, so Your Highness must not underestimate him."
"You Bo, rest assured." God General Qiong Yu nodded: "This evil god Qing Yu Zi is worth so much bounty, and even stole secrets from God King Wu Shu's city, so he must have treasures on him."
"I have not underestimated him; on the contrary, I value him highly, which is why I mobilized so many people."
"After catching him, first interrogate him about the secrets of the evil god side, such as who is lurking and what plots they have, and then ask about the secrets of God King Wu Shu's city. I heard he even went into the God Machine Pavilion of God King Wu Shu; we absolutely cannot miss it."
In God General Qiong Yu's plan, killing Qing Yu Zi to claim the bounty and becoming famous were only the final steps.
Before the value on Qing Yu Zi was squeezed dry, it was impossible for him to die.
"You Bo, what is the situation now? Has he been scared into fleeing by your Fate-Fixing Technique?"
After half a day, God General Qiong Yu asked again.
"No." The Fate Master shook his head, "However, we discovered that Qing Yu Zi has three nests in the Storm Sea."
"Each nest has Heavenly Time methods, formations, and artifacts guarding it."
"The distance between each other is not close. According to my estimation, if he completes the teleportation formation inside, he is very likely to escape, and only one point truly has his presence."
"Setting up a false array to force us to divide our troops?" God General Qiong Yu sneered: "A mere hairy god, just full of tricks. But none of it has any meaning."
God General Qiong Yu brought enough people; if he had divided into three hundred nests, he would have been somewhat worried.
But with only three, it didn't mean anything.
The Storm Sea was not a base that had been managed for a long time after all; a temporary nest could not delay them for too long.
No matter how you calculated it, it was impossible for Qing Yu Zi to escape from his palm.
On the first day of obtaining the crisis intelligence, they hadn't met the person 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 instructed himself to prioritize dealing with the other party, yet he deliberately 'idly' downplayed the priest's existence.
At the same time, he discussed the main attack target with himself, which was Tong Yuan.
On the second day, the actual contest began.
Qing Yu Zi took out the land from the Great View Realm, built three nests, and densely packed them with formations.
The wind disaster of the Storm Sea was flowing, and the origin of wind was raging and causing chaos, so the nests Old Qing built were also flowing, using this to delay time.
"Borrowing the momentum of Heaven, acting with the power of Heaven. In the eyes of a Heavenly Time Si Nong God, the wind disaster in the Storm Sea is momentum and power."
"The two Heavenly Time Si Nong Gods brought by God 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, only 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 toward 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 Yu Zi said while casting spells, not forgetting to teach Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing estimated that Old Qing was showing off a bit more, because Heavenly Time gods were rarely seen, so naturally he had to show off.
And Qing Yu Zi did indeed occupy the 'upper hand'.
Originally, they would have faced a battle in three days, but he forcibly delayed it for another day.
In this way, the seven-day formation setup time, as long as they fought for another three days, they would be able to successfully escape and leave the Ti Yi Great World, this place of right and wrong.
The fourth day ended.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two fake nests had their barriers easily pierced by the war beast Yuan Tong brought by God General Qiong Yu.
A large amount of soil, spiritual energy, formation materials, as well as more than a dozen divine power towers, and Yin-Yang Star Explosions spilled out.
Although they were fake nests, Qing Yu Zi had also put in real effort, because the fake ones could turn into real ones at any time.
When buying the world formation materials, he had bought three sets himself and set them up at the same time, just to see which one could hide longer.
Because the key to the final formation lay in the World Heart on the pendant to drive it.
God General Qiong Yu did not divide his troops, so by the time he finished piercing the two fake nests, it was already the end of the fifth day.
After entering the sixth day, the Fate Master 'You Bo' beside God General Qiong Yu suddenly received a bad hint.
He immediately transmitted his voice to remind God General Qiong Yu: "Young Master, the situation has changed. A great ominous sign at the hour level has appeared in my prediction. Although it is not continuous, this is not a good phenomenon."
"What do you mean? Could it be that Qing Yu Zi still possesses the power to resist us?" God General Qiong Yu frowned.
In the prediction, Qing Yu Zi was only a late-stage God General, and beside him was only a divine soldier-level attendant.
He had not underestimated Qing Yu Zi; Tong Yuan could suppress the void for a hundred fathoms, which already accounted for Qing Yu Zi having powerful escape divine objects.
The existence of the Ye Po Priest was to prevent capsizing in the gutter; he had also hypothesized that Qing Yu Zi had one-time consumables like God King power divine artifacts.
"You Bo, it's already this time, and you still want me to wait?" God General Qiong Yu said displeased: "You have also said that catching Qing Yu Zi can only be done within seven days. He doesn't know how many defensive treasures he bought; now we must take him down in one go. If we wait any longer and let him escape, wouldn't it be a laughingstock?"
A Fate Master's divination was always a reference for war, not a decisive factor.
Seeing Qiong Yu was determined to go all-in, You Bo could only helplessly continue to calculate the star plate, striving to quickly calculate the answer that was about to blurt out in his heart.
"All departments of gods, move out, take him down in one go!"
God General Qiong Yu took the lead and drove the chariot to charge forward.
The distance of thirty thousand realm units was quickly shortened by half.
And at this moment, You Bo suddenly felt his heart beating violently, his eyelids twitching, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He encountered a strong backlash, spitting out blood with a puff, his spirit turned black, and his eyes were dull.
But he still stubbornly looked at the bloodstains on the ground, only to see the bloodstains forming two words, which were written as Zhao Xing.
In the dark, turbid bloodstains, there was also a faint red light, and in the light and shadow, there seemed to be a high mountain formed by a pile of clocks.
At the very top of the mountain, there was a strange-looking standing clock.
"Tick-tock."
You Bo heard such a sound.
Then, there was no more.
His divine essence began to annihilate under the backlash.
At the very last moment, he saw something shattering, all the wind stopped, and a fiery red and gold color illuminated the space inside the cabin at the same time.
"What's going on? Have the fire source divine soldiers taken action again—the gold should be the Seven-Region Priest taking action. Sigh, should have escaped—" This was You Bo's last thought.
"Just tell me, how much certainty do you have now?"
After Qiong Yu approached, Zhao Xing did not hesitate to detonate the firecrackers left by God General Peng Lai.
In the ruins of the divine wood that had been burned to ashes, a black, illusory-looking bamboo appeared quietly.
The firecracker that was red to the point of being black meant that its fire origin had been concentrated to the extreme, and at the same time, it was covered by God General Peng Lai with dark origin to hide its divine form—this was another kind of divine hiding for plant life.
The firecracker had nine nodes, and when each node shattered, it was as if even space had shattered.
Tong Yuan, who suppressed the void for a hundred fathoms, had its thousand feet shattered because of the explosion of the void, starting from the lowest foothold and shattering all the way to the torso.
The shrill screams had not yet sounded before they were swept away by the second wave of space-time explosions.
Everyone only had time to be terrified, unable to make any remaining movements.
After the nine-node firecracker finished exploding, the area of more than twenty thousand realm units in the Storm Sea was completely cleared, replaced by a deep darkness.
A greater space-time explosion was spreading to the surroundings. At this time, Zhao Xing did not dare to detonate the second one.
Because he discovered that although he was performing a directional explosion, there was still a violent echo on his own side.
Zhao Xing had always thought that God General Peng Lai blowing himself up was a deliberate test, or a somewhat exaggerated statement.
Now he didn't think so anymore.
He quickly changed back to the Nine-Marsh God state and took out divine artifacts like the Golden Wheel and Golden Jade Divine Water to defend.
The aftermath of the explosion broke through more than a dozen defenses in a row, and even destroyed the Qian Yuan Ten Cold Formation, still destroying his Nine-Marsh God body until only the skeleton remained.
Even the skeleton was still burning!
"Zhao Xing, what are you doing? You didn't even say anything when you couldn't block it—hiss!"
Qing Yu Zi poked his head out from the violently shaking inner world and saw the burning skeleton, as well as the doomsday scene of a world being destroyed.
"Heavenly Rain brings life, good water restores life!"
"Quick!"
Qing Yu Zi waved his sleeves, and the cloud and rain patterns on his sleeves flickered, quickly shrouding Zhao Xing.
"Sizzle, sizzle."
The heat was scalding, and the skeleton continued to burn.
"My god, it actually can't be extinguished?"
"What kind of fire is this?"
Qing Yu Zi increased his strength, and the sweet rain turned into a flood as if it didn't cost money.
Finally, the Nine-Marsh God's skeleton was rescued by him.
It was scalding hot.
"You are still like this, let alone Qiong Yu and the others—hmm? There are still survivors?"
Qing Yu Zi immediately scanned the front.
He only saw that in the space fragments that were constantly exploding in front, a chariot was shining brightly, and a majestic golden figure was protecting the chariot.
It was cut by countless space fragments mixed with destruction and fire, but it was not affected at all.
"The Seven-Region Priest borrowed the divine power of a God King; it's normal for him to survive, but the others were not so lucky. Anyway, I only saw four alive when I came out."
"God General Peng Lai is really a pervert—I just said that being able to cultivate a firecracker to the God level is not something fun."
Qing Yu Zi wiped a towel aside, somewhat emotional: "This firecracker is the one with the greatest power I have ever seen."
"The God King Di Zang of the Ancient Hill could actually cultivate such a disciple—I always thought the Di Zang Method was just an auxiliary method for farming, never thinking it was so powerful."
"I didn't expect it either." Zhao Xing smiled bitterly. He couldn't even move now, and he didn't know how badly he was injured.
After looking at the panel, he was shocked to find that one hundred thousand years of lifespan had disappeared, and his True Spirit and Sacred Body were displayed as broken and seriously injured, and his luck had temporarily dropped to the twentieth rank.
"Don't get up yet; you'll need another hundred or eighty years to make up for it." Qing Yu Zi opened the ice coffin, drained the old medicinal liquid, and poured in new medicinal liquid.
Zhao Xing felt itchy all over his body, and flesh buds were constantly growing.
"Lying here like this is not a solution. Can messages be sent from here?"
He always had to report his safety to the Boundless True God.
"Yes." Qing Yu Zi waved his hand, and a jade plate appeared on the ice coffin. "You and I are both famous people now, and the Shadow Saint Hall has even raised our rankings by several levels, and there are also bounties—you can look at them slowly yourself, but don't play for too long."
"Get well quickly; I'm waiting for you to explore God King Yu Heng's inner world together."
Eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers immediately deployed their Flame Divine Domains, their domains intertwining with each other; it was clear they had practiced certain combined-attack arrays.
Those of the same level would originally disdain using Divine Domains to fight; after all, between divine soldier levels, unless they were space-time or causality-type Divine Domains, the status of origin Divine Domains like gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder were all about the same.
The Free Gods faced the True Gods, and they had no advantage in this regard, so in general confrontations, they simply did not use Divine Domains.
However, a Divine Domain composed of eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers was already enough to rival a Divine Domain deployed by a Divine General.
Facing the three hundred-plus divine trees blocking the outside of the small world and Zhao Xing, a late-stage divine soldier, it could completely be used to bully them.
After all, plant-type troops were usually of the wood origin, and fire just happened to restrain them. In order to finish the battle quickly, the eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers completely combined their Divine Domains to the extreme.
"Woo—" Looking from afar, this stream of fire had an outer flame that looked like a fire dragon, while the interior was a huge long spear.
The Divine Domain was both firm and soft. In an instant, the divine fire burned, and the temporarily mutated plants that had been laid out along the way withered one after another, turning into ashes one by one.
In this kind of scene, let alone a late-stage divine soldier, even a Divine General would not dare to take it head-on.
However, Zhao Xing did not retreat.
"At this time, those Divine General-level figures like Brother Qiongyu are still on the edge of the firecracker's power. I must let them go deeper before exploding."
"Nine Marsh God, transform!"
"Woo—" 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 large hand stood like a mountain, the nebula vortex in the palm constantly emitting black light, completely blocking the small world behind him.
"Nine Marsh God?!" Divine General Li Feng and Divine General Old Xue Yu both looked at the huge Nine Marsh God in the distance with some surprise. As members of the Tian Shi Sect, the Hou Hou Bian Technique was their specialty; they naturally understood that this was transformed by a person.
"To have such a strong Hou Hou Bian Technique, could it be another Tian Shi Si Nong God?"
"That shouldn't be. We both specifically requested King Gu Xiao through the Divine Venerable to get the opportunity to become Tian Shi Si Nong Gods.
Where did so many Tian Shi Gods come from in this era?"
"The aura of this Nine Marsh God is so strong, it has already reached the mid-stage of a Divine General. Oh, I understand, so he borrowed a divine object."
Divine General Li Feng and Divine General Old Xue Yu both saw that inside the body of this Nine Marsh God, there were nine needles inserted, forming the main spine.
It was precisely because of this that the appearance of this Nine Marsh God was closer to a human form, rather than a beast form.
"I didn't expect Brother Qing Yu to have such a guard, but he still has to die!" Divine General Brother Qiongyu watched coldly.
The eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers were the elite trained by their Xi Tian God King City. From the moment these Free Gods became gods,
they all chose the same origin to become gods.
Their minds were connected, their roots were the same, and they practiced the same secret technique; their combat power was absolutely astonishing.
"Boom!!!"
The large hand, like a mountain range, swept across. At the same time, the black vortex in the palm constantly emitted traction, tearing at the Fire Source Divine Domain.
The Cang Wu World Law also contributed at this moment. The Flame Divine Domain was getting smaller and smaller, and the exterior was being torn to pieces.
No matter how much the flames surged, the world projection and the large hand of the Nine Marsh God could always block it.
Colliding with each other, a stalemate actually appeared!
"Hmm? This is not the Divine Domain of the Nine Marsh God, but a kind of World Law!" Divine General Old Xue Yu and Divine General Li Feng were somewhat shocked.
"How can someone practice the Hou Hou Bian Technique to the Divine General level and also possess such a powerful World Law? Could his internal world also be at the divine level?"
They discovered they had guessed the other's background wrong. At first, seeing the Nine Marsh God, they thought the other was from the Tian Shi Sect. After all, having Tian Shi divine power made practicing the Hou Hou Bian Technique twice as effective with half the effort; otherwise, it would be half the result with twice the effort.
But after seeing the other's World Law, they changed their minds. The strength of the World Law depended on the size of the internal world.
If the other was not a Si Nong God of the Self-Nature Sect, how could he be so strong just by concurrently practicing World Law?
"Roar!"
The Nine Marsh God constantly let out roars. The flames did indeed burn Zhao Xing with heart-piercing pain, but this also stimulated his ferocity.
"I have practiced hard for many years, and even Divine General Xu Feng was defeated by my hands. Can't these small fries be defeated by me in one blow?" Zhao Xing was also shocked by the quality of the divine soldiers of Xi Tian God King City.
In his view, no matter how many divine soldier-level figures there were, they were just a rabble.
After all, he had already defeated Divine General Xu Feng in the God Machine City.
"I have been studying the balance of the three Si Nong Sects. Now I can simultaneously use World Law while in the state of Nine Marsh God transformation, and I can even use Di Li Sect spells."
"But do I have to be forced to use my full strength just to fight some Free God soldiers?"
Zhao Xing could still use Mountain Law and Di Gong Law at this time, but if he did, it would be very easy to be exposed.
Similarly, after two collisions, they were actually in a stalemate, and the Martial Divine General commanding the eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers was also somewhat shocked.
"A divine soldier level, after Hou Hou Bian, blocked the combined attack of eight hundred and fifty of my Fire Source Gods?"
"All of you, burn your divine power! This is your first time serving His Highness; you are only allowed to win, not to lose!" The Martial Divine General transmitted his voice, roaring wildly.
In fact, what Xi Tian God King City transferred to Divine General Brother Qiongyu's direct command were him and these eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers; the rest were just there to assist.
Those who truly shared honor and disgrace with Divine General Brother Qiongyu were him and the eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers.
They were following Brother Qiongyu, the young master, for the first time; they couldn't lose face in their first battle.
"Kill!" The eight hundred and fifty divine soldier battle formation went completely crazy and began to burn divine power.
"Die for me!"
On Zhao Xing's arms, streaks of innate secret patterns flowed. Space-Breaking Claws, Ten Thousand Tribulation Golden Marrow, and Eyes of Burning the World—one innate divine skill after another poured out recklessly.
The eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers constantly burned divine blood, and the hair and flesh of Zhao Xing's Nine Marsh God body flew everywhere.
Under the dance of the Space-Breaking Claws, the armor on the eight hundred and fifty Free Gods also shattered, and armor fragments flew everywhere.
Both sides were fighting to the death, but although they burned divine power, they still couldn't resolve the obstacle of the Nine Marsh God.
The eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers were firmly blocked at 15,000 world-element units outside the small world.
"Your Highness, let us take action." Divine General Li Feng and Divine General Old Xue Yu spoke up.
They originally disdained to take action against a small late-stage divine soldier, but time was passing, the possibility of Qing Qing Yu Zi escaping was increasing, and besides, the Nine Marsh God in front of them also aroused their interest.
"Retreat!"
The eight hundred and fifty divine soldiers immediately turned around and retreated, returning to the divine ship.
And Zhao Xing also retreated along with the momentum.
He retreated not because he was afraid, but because he wanted Brother Qiongyu's team to get closer.
"Yo, this beast still knows how to distinguish between strong and weak." Divine General Li Feng saw Zhao Xing retreat and thought it was his and Old Xue Yu's deterrence. Zhao Xing ignored the other's provocation, turned back into human form, and constantly crushed tokens.
"Hum—"
Eighteen suns floated out from inside the small world.
Looking closely, these eighteen suns were all imprisoned inside a lantern.
"Extreme Light Origin?"
"It's the Gan Yuan Ten Cold Array!"
Divine General Li Feng and Divine General Old Xue Yu both stopped, because the space-time in front of them already had seasons, and it had become incomparably cold.
The Tian Shi origin in their bodies became sluggish. The Tian Shi array restrained the Tian Shi Sect Si Nong.
They were not so easy to break through after all.
As soon as Divine General Old Xue Yu and Divine General Li Feng approached, Zhao Xing would attack; if they didn't approach, they couldn't break the Gan Yuan Ten Cold Array.
"Qing Qing Yu Zi is only ranked three hundred-plus on the New God List, but he happens to have a lot of money. Who doesn't use this kind of array in their lair or territory?
He actually carries it with him."
"Your Highness, this is a life-saving array formation that Qing Qing Yu Zi bought. In a short time, only Yuan Tong can break it." Divine General Old Xue Yu and Divine General Li Feng reported to Divine General Brother Qiongyu.
Just as Brother Qiongyu was about to issue an order, the Fate Master You Bo transmitted his voice: "Your Highness, please untie the chariot tether and let Yuan Tong and the Four Divine Guards go."
"What are you trying to say?" Brother Qiongyu frowned.
"I always feel that this attendant beside Qing Qing Yu Zi is not simple, as if he has a great background, but I cannot trace his origin for a moment, and I cannot calculate who he is."
"You Bo, at a time like this, you still want me to wait?" Divine General Brother Qiongyu said: "You also said that catching Qing Qing Yu Zi can only be done within seven days. He doesn't know how many defensive treasures he has bought. Now we must take him down in one go. If we wait any longer and let him escape, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?"
The divination of a Fate Master was always just a reference for war, not a decisive factor.
Seeing that Brother Qiongyu was determined to go all-in, You Bo had no choice but to continue to work on the Star Plate, striving to calculate the answer that was on the tip of his tongue as quickly as possible.
"All departments, move out, take him down in one fell swoop!"
Divine General Brother Qiongyu took the lead and drove the chariot forward.
The distance of 30,000 world-element units was quickly shortened by half.
And at this time, You Bo's heart suddenly beat violently, his eyelids twitched, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He encountered a strong backlash, spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft," his divine spirit turned black, and his eyes were dull.
But he still forced himself to look at the bloodstains on the ground, only to see the bloodstains condensed into two words, clearly written as Zhao Xing.
In the black and turbid bloodstains, there was a faint red light, 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."
You Bo heard such a sound.
Then, there was no then.
His divine origin began to annihilate under the backlash.
At the very last moment, he saw something shattering, all the wind stopped, and a touch of fire red and gold illuminated the space inside the cabin at the same time.
"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 last thought.
a-li-na
After Brother Qiongyu approached, Zhao Xing exploded the firecrackers left by Divine General Peng Lai without hesitation.
In the ruins of the divine wood that had previously been burned to ashes, a black bamboo that looked like an illusion quietly appeared.
The firecracker that was red to the point of being black meant that its fire origin had been condensed to the extreme. At the same time, it was also endowed by Divine General Peng Lai with the dark origin to cover the divine action—this was another kind of divine concealment for plant life.
The firecracker had nine nodes, and when each node shattered, it was as if even space had shattered.
Yuan Tong, who suppressed the void for a hundred fathoms, had all his thousand feet shattered because of the explosion of the void, starting from the lowest foothold and shattering all the way to the torso.
The shrill screams didn't even have time to ring out before they were swept away by the second wave of space-time explosion.
Everyone only had time to be terrified; they couldn't make any remaining movements.
After the nine-node firecracker finished exploding, the area of more than 200,000 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 time, Zhao Xing didn't dare to detonate the second one.
Because he discovered that although he was doing directional blasting, his own side still had violent echoes.
Zhao Xing had always thought that Divine General Peng Lai blowing himself up was a deliberate test, or an exaggerated statement.
Now he didn't think so.
He turned back into the Nine Marsh God state and took out divine artifacts like the Golden Wheel and Golden Jade Divine Water to defend.
The aftermath of the explosion broke through more than a dozen defenses in a row, and even destroyed the Gan Yuan Ten Cold Array, but it still destroyed his Nine Marsh God body until only the skeleton remained.
And even the skeleton was still burning!
"Zhao Xing, what are you doing? If you can't block it, tell me in advance—hiss!"
Qing Qing Yu Zi poked his head out from the violently shaking small world and saw the burning skeleton, as well as the doomsday scene of a world being destroyed.
"Heavenly rain falls, good water brings life!"
"Quick!"
Qing Qing Yu Zi waved his sleeves, the cloud and rain patterns on his sleeves flickering, quickly enveloping Zhao Xing.
"Sizzle, sizzle."
The heat was scalding, and the skeleton was still burning.
"My god, it actually can't be extinguished?"
"What kind of fire is this?"
Qing Qing Yu Zi increased his efforts, the sweet rain turning into a torrent as if it didn't cost money.
Finally, the skeleton of the Nine Marsh God was rescued by him.
It was scalding hot.
"You are still like this, aren't Brother Qiongyu and the others—hmm? Are there any survivors?"
Qing Qing Yu Zi immediately scanned the front.
He saw that in the space fragments that were constantly exploding in front, a chariot was shining brightly, and a majestic golden figure was protecting the chariot.
It was cut by countless space fragments mixed with destruction and fire, but it was unaffected.
"The Seven Domain Priests borrowed the divine power of a God King, and there are four survivors on that chariot."
"No, we must run quickly."
Seeing this situation, Qing Qing Yu Zi immediately gave up the idea of finishing them off.
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 in the array.
"The Forced Driving Technique, 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. This pervert Divine General Peng Lai—I just said that being able to cultivate firecrackers to the divine level is not something fun."
Amidst a burst of muttering, blue light emerged from the ground around Qing Qing Yu Zi, circling him and a skeleton like fireflies, and then quickly disappeared from the spot.
"Bang!"
The small world could no longer hold on and was destroyed by the constantly impacting aftermath.
When Zhao Xing woke up again, he only felt one word: pain!
He recalled the moment the firecrackers exploded. The first feeling was just heat, and then all origin sensing dropped to the lowest point.
There was only fire, chaotic space-time, and destruction!
When the space-time destruction caused by the explosion occurred, Zhao Xing knew he was in trouble and immediately put away the world projection to prevent the remaining firecrackers from exploding.
Then he quickly took out divine artifacts to resist. After seven or eight divine artifacts collapsed, he had to use the Nine Marsh God's divine body to resist.
"You're awake?" Qing Qing Yu Zi walked over carrying a jar.
Zhao Xing looked up and saw that he was lying in an ice coffin, discovering that there were bottles and jars all around, and a lot of medicinal smell.
"Where am I?"
"Inside the Chen Xuan-colored ring." Qing Qing Yu Zi said, "As for the big place, I don't know where it is either, but we should have arrived. Look."
"Hmm?" Zhao Xing saw Qing Qing Yu Zi summon a water curtain. In the distant starry sky, a huge corpse was lying, almost enough to fill the first Void Ancestor Galaxy of the Origin Heavenly Palace.
"Originally, we were going to teleport directly into King King Yu Heng's body, but there was a slight deviation." Qing Qing Yu Zi said, "At that time, I saw that some people were not dead, so I couldn't care about that much."
"There are people who didn't die?" Zhao Xing widened his eyes. He hadn't even borne the main power of the firecrackers and was injured like this.
"What's so strange about that? The Seven Domain Priest beside Brother Qiongyu can borrow God King power; it's normal for him to survive, but the others were not so lucky. Anyway, when I came out, I only saw four who were still alive."
"Divine General Peng Lai, he really is a pervert." Qing Qing Yu Zi threw a towel aside, feeling somewhat emotional: "This firecracker is the most powerful one I have ever seen."
"King Di Zang of the Ancient Hill actually managed to cultivate such a disciple—I always thought that the Di Zang Technique was just an auxiliary method for farming. I never thought it would be so powerful."
"I didn't expect it either." Zhao Xing smiled bitterly. He couldn't move yet and didn't know how badly he was injured.
After looking at the panel, he was stunned to find that 100,000 years of lifespan had disappeared, his true spirit and holy body were both shown as broken and seriously injured, and his luck had temporarily dropped to the twentieth stage.
"Don't get up. You'll need another hundred or eighty years to recover." Qing Qing Yu Zi said, opening the ice coffin, draining the old medicinal liquid, and pouring in new medicinal liquid.
Zhao Xing felt itchy all over his body, and granulation tissue was constantly growing.
"Lying like this all the time is not a solution. Can messages be sent from here?"
He had to report his safety to the Boundless True God.
"Yes." Qing Qing Yu Zi waved his hand, and a jade plate appeared on the ice coffin. "You and I are both famous people now. The Shadow Holy Temple has even raised our rankings by several levels, and there are also bounties—you can look at them yourself, but don't play for too long."
"Get well soon. I'm waiting for you to explore King King Yu Heng's internal world together."
