Chapter 651: Soul swap, system swap?
Inside Feather Fall Pass, the astrolabe before God King Qiyan flickered, and the phantom of the previously shattered Time-Space Boat reappeared.
"A fake? So it was a void spell."
God King Qiyan glanced at it and immediately understood that he had just struck a fake.
This actually seemed normal; if Zhao Xing, having received the Dragon Ancestor's reward, had been easily cut down by his sword, that would have been abnormal.
"Remote flying sword technique, separated by multiple boundary walls and defenses of the time-space pass, it is very difficult to precisely lock onto his position."
God King Qiyan's heart stirred, and he immediately flew out of the Time-Space Pass.
*Whoosh~*
His Divine Domain of Swords unfolded like rippling water, sweeping away the many trap time-spaces in front of the pass.
"Hm. He just came out like that?"
Zhao Xing flew down from the Time-Space Boat. He had originally intended to use the trap time-spaces and fog barriers to maneuver, but he hadn't expected God King Qiyan to fly out directly and clear the field.
"Zhao Xing, you certainly have some nerve." God King Qiyan naturally discovered Zhao Xing's figure quickly. He was stepping on one flying sword, holding another in his hand, and carrying a sword case on his back.
"Relying on a few treasures, you dare to storm the pass."
As he spoke, the Divine Domain of Swords continued to ripple, moving all the trap spaces aside to form an empty zone.
God King Qiyan looked down on Zhao Xing in his heart, but tactically, he regarded Zhao Xing with high importance.
He knew this kid was a God of Fortune, having once defeated Rui Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xuan using fortune and even fishing away a battle order with fortune spells.
Outside Feather Fall Pass were small worlds everywhere, containing many time-space natural disasters; he naturally had to clear these traps to avoid being used against him by Zhao Xing.
"You certainly have very little nerve." Zhao Xing secretly controlled the Boundless Divine Machine, while calmly retorting: "To compete with me, you even clear the field first. If you are afraid, then quickly open the pass and kneel to surrender; I might spare your life."
"Hahahaha." God King Qiyan laughed loudly: "A mere God General, yet you dare to speak such wild words."
"If you had become a God King, you might have had a chance to compete with me."
"However, you are destined not to become a second Shu Ji."
He knew Zhao Xing cultivated three paths, but his divine body had not yet transformed; only his divine soul had reached the God King realm.
Jumping out of the River of Time and leaving the place of Dao-proclamation, the blessings received would be greatly weakened.
Qiyan was a high-level God King; he did not believe Zhao Xing could confront him head-on.
"Die!"
After the Divine Domain of Swords cleared an empty zone and had already brought Zhao Xing into his divine domain, God King Qiyan did not hesitate. With a thought, the divine domain began to shrink rapidly.
Countless sword Qi poured back like flowing water.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
The sword Qi pushed the Boundless Divine Machine. Although it did not pierce the Boundless Divine Machine, it changed Zhao Xing's position, constantly pushing him closer to God King Qiyan.
Zhao Xing's true body was pushed. Although the high-level God King's sword Qi could not break the Boundless Divine Machine's defense, it could not be completely isolated, and a portion of the power still transmitted to Zhao Xing's divine body.
"So you really do have a natal divine weapon." God King Qiyan snorted coldly as he watched Zhao Xing being struck by the countless sword Qi of the Divine Domain of Swords yet still remaining alive.
"However, the Sword God's attack power is unparalleled in the world; you cannot possibly isolate it completely. At your current rate of divine power depletion, even if you hide inside a divine object, you will exhaust your divine power in at most a quarter of an hour."
"Soul out of body, enter the sword Qi, and this King can spare your life."
Qiyan's true body did not act immediately; he still harbored the intention of capturing Zhao Xing alive, while also guarding against the move Zhao Xing used to kill God King Rijue.
"You are happy too soon."
Zhao Xing's voice rang out from the Boundless Divine Machine, and he also emerged from the trap time-space that had just been pushed away.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Seven straw-man clones appeared after the flowing sword Qi tide receded.
Each of them carried an octagonal bronze mirror on their backs, and the true body also held an identical mirror in its hand.
The mirrors seemed extremely heavy, bending the backs of the seven straw-man clones.
God King Qiyan had regarded Zhao Xing with enough importance, but he had overlooked the existence of Ji Si.
He was not facing one opponent, but also the God General Ji Si, who cultivated both Fate and History!
"Whoosh~"
Behind the tide of flowing sword Qi, another wave surged up.
Qiyan saw a massive cyan wave surging from the eight mirrors.
Eight void Rivers of Time rushed out from the mirrors rapidly.
Arriving later but reaching first, they quickly crossed the sword Qi tide, forming a domain-within-a-domain inside Qiyan's Divine Domain of Swords.
When the image of the Dao appears, it becomes real.
Clearly, the battle was happening outside the River of Time, yet at this moment, it felt as if they had returned to the River of Time.
With Yin and Yang giving birth to all things in heaven and earth, Qiyan felt the binding force of the River of Time eight times over.
Qiyan became serious instantly.
The flying sword under his feet and the giant sword in his hand flew out immediately.
"A fake cannot be real!"
"Break."
The two flying swords swept out sword light, evolving three thousand massive sword Qi grotto-heavens in mid-air.
These grotto-heavens connected to each other, as if forming a horned snake ten trillion miles long.
The snake's mouth was infinitely dark, devouring all things in the surrounding time-space.
"Chaos-Opening Sword Array!"
This was the secret technique Qiyan created when he became a God King.
The eight void Rivers of Time were immediately weakened by thirty percent, all swallowed by the sword Qi array.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~"
The remaining seventy percent of the void rivers were also shaken and split, forming dense water droplets.
On the Time-Space Boat, the several guests who sensed the movement outside all raised their heads, observing the outside world with their respective secret techniques.
"They've started fighting?" God King Ye Hai's pupils contracted; he saw a sword Qi divine domain appear outside the Time-Space Pass, with a cyan river churning within it like a flood dragon.
"Chaos-Opening Sword Array, this is Qiyan's ultimate move; he was actually forced to use it?"
God King Ye Hai was also a high-level God King. He had never sparred with Qiyan, but he estimated it would be a six-four split.
If Zhao Xing could force out Qiyan's ultimate move, wouldn't he be not far from himself?
"It's not just Zhao Xing; there are the methods of a Fate Master in there." The Fate Master beside God King Ye Hai spoke.
"Ji Si of the Great Zhou—truly remarkable; she has actually been overlooked all this time."
God King Cang Xi and the Sovereign of Chi Ji also observed this battle, but the Fate Masters they brought were slightly weaker and did not perceive Ji Si's role in it.
The two had already walked out of the cabin door, ready to support at any time, wanting to do Zhao Xing a favor.
However, they were all stopped by Scholar Scholar Bowei.
"The two of you need not intervene; just watch the battle from the side."
"True Person Scholar Scholar Bowei, are you serious?" God King Cang Xi was startled; he had thought Zhao Xing invited him to the banquet to help.
I am here to help.
Scholar Scholar Bowei glanced at Ji Si's state and said nothing, entering the cabin on his own.
Seeing Scholar Scholar Bowei so confident, Cang Xi and Chi Ji were unsure, so they had to give up for the time being.
"Ling Ji, what do you see?" The Island Master of Five Realms and his sworn brother Ling Ji did not leave the cabin, but they saw more clearly.
The origin fluctuations and the changes in the Great Dao triggered by spells that the two of them observed were second only to Scholar Scholar Bowei.
"Ji Si is very strong." The more Ling Ji looked, the more serious his expression became. "The eight rivers she summoned are void historical rivers."
"They integrate the five origins of the Dao: life, causality, fate, time-space, and soul."
"Only the 'Brother Brother Qian-Turning' sect of the Ten-Phase Gate can achieve this level."
"It is very likely that the inheritance Ji Si inherited is not just one from the Ten-Phase Gate."
"What do you think the result will be?" The Island Master of Five Realms had some understanding of the Ten-Phase Gate, but not much.
That Ji Si was related to the Ten-Phase Gate was already within his expectations; after all, Ji Si was the greatest contributor to the Battle of Standing, and perhaps her divine concealment could deceive others, causing the outside world to overlook Ji Si's existence.
But it could not deceive those at the level of Ling Ji and the Island Master of Five Realms.
"I dare not calculate." Ling Ji was eager to try, but held back.
"Just discussing the battle in idle talk is fine." The Island Master of Five Realms said.
Ling Ji nodded: "God King Qiyan is no ordinary person either."
"A Sword Dao God King, the power of his techniques is unique in the world."
"Ji Si's spells, logically, should not be weakened, because void spells combined with a Fate Master's spells can only be resisted by the same spells."
"But God King Qiyan's Chaos-Opening Sword Array, with techniques approaching the Dao, has affected the power of Ji Si's spells."
The Island Master of Five Realms nodded; a Fate Master's law can usually only be broken by another Fate Master.
It is difficult for other professions to take it on. The reverse is also true.
A Fate Master cannot take a sword strike from the Sword Sect head-on, and the Sword Sect cannot directly cut a curse cast by a Fate Master.
It can only be said that the Sword God's stats are too outrageous; a high-level God King like Qiyan, with techniques approaching the Dao, has weakened the power of Ji Si's spells at the essential level of the spells.
The Island Master of Five Realms nodded; Qiyan still had a gap compared to himself.
But if one had a Dao-Sacrificial Vessel, a high-level God King like Qiyan could also become a Dao Lord.
Dao Lord and God King, in the end, just differ by a Dao-Sacrificial Vessel.
Not just him, among the invited guests, Cang Xi, Chi Ji, as long as they could obtain their own Dao-Sacrificial Vessel, could all become Dao Lords.
Of course, Dao-Sacrificial Vessels themselves are difficult to obtain; even the Island Master of Five Realms, as the Heavenly River Marshal of the first Feather Emperor era, had no ability to refine one.
"Get ready to act." The Island Master of Five Realms and Ling Ji also reached the same judgment as the three God Kings Chi Ji, Ye Hai, and Cang Xi.
Zhao Xing and Ji Si facing Qiyan, the odds of winning would not be very high.
"Uncle-Master, do Zhao Xing and Ji Si really have a chance of winning?" At another observation point on the Time-Space Boat, Du Yun was somewhat worried.
After the battle started, he felt his soul sting just by looking at that sword Qi.
He admitted that Zhao Xing and Ji Si were monster-level geniuses, but Qiyan was a high-level God King who had been famous for a long time.
The gap between them was simply too large.
"Don't ask me, ask the Emperor of Great Zhou." Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi shook his head. "I don't understand it either."
The only one with a low realm who could understand the battle was the Human Emperor of Great Zhou, Ji Che.
As a Human Emperor of Fortune, Ji Che could feel the plans and battle state of Ji Si and Zhao Xing.
"God Venerable Qing Yu, Brother Du Yun, do not worry." Ji Che said confidently: "I already know the result written by Ji Si; there is absolutely no possibility of failure."
On the battlefield, after the eight void historical rivers were weakened by thirty percent by the Chaos-Opening Sword Array, the shattered water droplets connected into lines, rapidly intertwining to form a new world.
Zhao Xing and Qiyan both closed their eyes, standing still.
Because the battlefield had entered another level.
Soul Void Transmission Boundary.
In the "Mysterious Yellow World," beside a clear spirit lake.
"Qiyan" opened his eyes abruptly. He discovered that the reflection on the lake surface showed a strange yet familiar face.
"What?!"
Qiyan was startled, because this face was actually Zhao Xing's!
"What is going on here?"
Qiyan examined himself and found that he was holding the Boundless Divine Machine and wearing the Time-Space Grain Rain Dharma Robe.
From head to toe, he was in Zhao Xing's image.
"Swish!"
Suddenly, a sword light shot over.
Qiyan instinctively wanted to use sword Qi to resist, but this instinctive action turned into palm-lightning.
? ¢O
A bolt of thunder flashed out.
"Boom!"
Qiyan spat out blood and flew backward. He discovered that he was actually using Lightning Law.
And what injured him was actually a strand of Extreme Flame Sword Qi!
Extreme Flame Sword Qi was something he had created during his mortal period!
Qiyan quickly climbed up and stared fixedly at a large mountain on the other side of the lake.
A mighty figure appeared on the mountain, holding the Underworld Flame Divine Sword and carrying a sword case on his back.
But his demeanor was completely different from his own, and instead looked more like—
"Zhao Xing!"
Qiyan understood, but was also confused.
He knew that he and Zhao Xing seemed to have undergone a soul swap, but—what kind of spell was this, and where was this ghost place?
How could he only exert the strength of a mortal (anything below God-level is collectively called mortal)?
On the high mountain, Zhao Xing saw "himself" being pierced through the shoulder by sword Qi and was also a bit strange.
"The script doesn't seem to be written like this."
"Ji Si, how did your Soul Void Transmission Boundary move swap my body with Qiyan's?"
Zhao Xing sent a telepathic message. A moment later, Ji Si's voice appeared in his mind like a mosquito.
"Great Minister of Agriculture, we underestimated Qiyan." Ji Si on the Time-Space Boat also opened her eyes, looking remotely at the two people standing still in the mixed divine domain.
"Qiyan's Chaos-Opening Sword Array collided with the Historical Void Transmission Boundary I cast."
"Originally, in this River of History, there should have been life, causality, fate, soul, five elements, and various Great Daos."
"The final transmission boundary formed should have been more perfect."
"However, Qiyan's sword array is too domineering, with Sword Dao supreme, causing my transmission boundary to only possess the Dao of Soul upon final formation."
"Everything else could not be transformed from void to real."
Ji Si said: "There is no other way; I could only Roc Roc Roc Roc Change the law temporarily, causing you and Qiyan to swap bodies in this Soul Void Transmission Boundary."
"Currently, you are both at the level of the Origin Realm."
Zhao Xing twisted his body: "How strange, why can't I sense my own Minister of Agriculture spells?"
Ji Si said: "Because the Dao of Soul is also imperfect in the transmission boundary. Originally, I should have let you possess a complete foundation of the Minister of Agriculture, as well as a foundation of Martial Dao."
"In this way, you would be dual-cultivating Martial Dao and Minister of Agriculture in the transmission boundary."
"While Qiyan would only have the foundation of the Minister of Agriculture."
"Now, you are both at the same great realm."
"It's just that Qiyan is at the third realm of Origin, while you, Great Minister of Agriculture, are only at the first realm of Origin."
After a long while, Zhao Xing finally reacted.
"In other words, I have obtained Qiyan's Martial Dao memory bank, which contains all of Qiyan's martial arts knowledge."
"In the process of learning, I can slowly unseal it, slowly improving from the Ascension Realm."
"And Qiyan possesses a Minister of Agriculture memory bank, which contains all my spell knowledge."
"Yes." Ji Si said, "Whoever learns faster will be able to become stronger in this void transmission boundary."
"..."
"I understand." Zhao Xing nodded.
Compared to Qiyan, in terms of individual stats, it could be said that for the vast majority of stats, he had no advantage.
In terms of divine body, his Hunyuan Divine Body was strong, but it was not a God King body; in terms of soul, he was a low-level God King soul, while Qiyan was a high-level God King.
Only in fortune and comprehension did he exceed Qiyan.
Ji Si's spell had pulled both him and Qiyan to the Origin Realm.
Due to the difference in soul strength, Qiyan ended up at the third realm of Origin, while he was only at the first realm of Origin.
By a twist of fate, he could only learn the martial arts of a martial artist, while Qiyan could only learn the spells of a Minister of Agriculture.
Simply put, two experts had started a game in Ji Si's transmission boundary game.
Everyone was a small account, and they were playing the other person's profession.
Qiyan's starting level was higher, while Zhao Xing's was lower.
Now the skills had to be relearned, the levels had to be leveled up again, and it depended on who could learn faster.
Whoever killed the other in the transmission boundary would have their soul turned to void!
"Ji Si, you are truly a genius." Zhao Xing couldn't help but exclaim.
He browsed Qiyan's Martial Dao knowledge bank. This Martial Dao knowledge bank did not involve other memories, only cultivation memories; even the theory was in it.
Similarly, Qiyan was the same.
Under such a premise, Ji Si had simply helped him establish a massive advantage!
Zhao Xing sighed, while Qiyan was furious.
After climbing up from the lake, he rushed into the sky on clouds and roared: "Zhao Xing, Ji Si, what have you done!!!"
"Die for me!"
He rushed toward the mountain peak, turning the Boundless Divine Machine into the shape of a sword.
But he had no cultivation memories of a martial artist at all; this sword swing just cut the air.
"Swish~"
Zhao Xing raised his sword to block. Although there was a gap of two levels.
In close-quarters combat, with the swords clashing, it was Qiyan who was knocked back, his hand bones even cracked.
"Laughable, a mere third-realm Minister of Agriculture, yet you dare to speak wild words?" Zhao Xing grinned, returning the words Qiyan had said before the battle started.
"..." Qiyan calmed down instantly and immediately pulled away.
The Boundless Divine Machine returned to its original state, but the power that could be exerted was less than one-billionth.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~"
Meta-magnetic thunder appeared.
Now it was Zhao Xing's turn to run.
Because Qiyan at this time was at the third realm of Origin.
When he cast the Minister of Agriculture's divine ability, the posture was completely different.
Zhao Xing knew himself very well; when he was at the third realm of Origin, he could rival the combat power of the Life-Death Dao Domain realm.
Qiyan only mastered some fur, but it could not be underestimated.
"Boom-crack~"
A numbness came from the divine sword, and Zhao Xing almost dropped it.
The tides of fortune turn.
Qiyan found that this feeling didn't seem bad either.
But after blasting two bolts of thunder, he hesitated again. Now Zhao Xing occupied his body; if he broke it, would he only be able to be a Minister of Agriculture in the future?
Qiyan was a loyal fan of the Martial Dao profession, with a firm heart toward the Dao.
What kind of bullshit Minister of Agriculture, he didn't want to be a Minister of Agriculture God at all?!
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xing cast his Light-Following Sword Technique and flew away quickly with a *whoosh*.
"Stop, don't run!"
Qiyan reacted immediately and chased after him. ===== CHAPTER 653 =====
