Chapter 1472: I'm Coming Out (Early Month Seeking Monthly Tickets, Two-in-One)
Bubbles adhered to the skin, bulging out into a silvery-white bubble.
Apart from the gaps left by the filth of heaven and earth gathered by the Lion King, the waters of the Chuan Kingdom filled every corner.
The blood-red essence of heaven and earth "melted" open, turning in an instant into a clump of fluffy "mist," as if the long qi of heaven and earth had reverted to "fluff," only it was different again.
This clump of fluffy "mist" was no longer purely blood-red, but had turned into three colors: a clump of blood-red, a clump of jade-white,
a clump of xuan-yellow.
Liang Qu wielded them like his own limbs, like a precise surgeon, stripping away the blood-red, leaving only the two clumps of xuan-yellow and jade-white mist, then kneading the blood-red mist back together; a round, fused, crystal-clear rainbow light appeared.
Zhang Longxiang and the Lion King, with senses sealed, could not see it, only feeling they were soaking in water; Ge Zu and Shen Daxi did not recognize it, but Su Wang had his horizons privately broadened by Liang Qu.
Blood Treasure!
Its quality seemed even better than a Superb-grade Blood Treasure.
The better the Blood Treasure, the more transparent; a Superb-grade Blood Treasure is crystal-clear like agate, still possessing substance at least, but this clump before him was too pure, verging on pure light.
Superb-grade comes from a Yao Dragon; this clump of rainbow light, stronger than Superb-grade——
Su Wang's pupils contracted and dilated.
Specks of bubbles dissipated upward from around his body; after a long while they emerged again from below.
"As expected——"
Liang Qu's movements did not stop.
He had once guessed the source of Blood Treasures, so in the past he felt some revulsion, giving them to Lao Ying Tian, Lao Meng Yao, and Xi Zi Yu without a pang of regret; but since he had already eaten them, there was no need for hypocrisy, refusing to eat for fear of choking.
Especially this Blood Treasure, it most likely originated from the Great Li Taizu.
The Great Li Taizu had perhaps long since merged with the Blood River Realm, becoming one with it.
The Lotus Flower Bodhisattva kept the essence and discarded the dross, scraped the bone to cure the poison——inevitably slicing off portions of fresh flesh and blood; clearly, the Slaying Jiao combined with the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body purified the filth, leaving behind healthy flesh and blood that likewise possessed extraordinary might.
With the blood-red gouged out, the remaining two qi of jade-white and xuan-yellow remained intact, even independent; Liang Qu manipulated the Yinglong Slaying Scripture and the Heavenly Pivots and Earthly Axes, altering the flow of heaven and earth; with these two qi, what was originally extremely difficult became remarkably easy.
An apple can be split into multiple parts: flesh, skin, core——the Tiwu Authority allowed Liang Qu to completely extract one part without damage, and let the remaining parts continue to "survive healthily," creating an apple without a core. Similarly, he could remove a portion of "traits" while expanding other "traits," kneading them anew.
In short, Liang Qu can now make a person grow four arms, eight legs, a sideways-growing buttocks, walk while playing clappers, a three-legged toad, an eight-headed snake, a nine-headed bird——without any adverse effects.
Just like——the Tiwu with eight heads, eight tails, and eight legs!
"So that's how it is——"
Ge Zu and Shen Da Xian understood Liang Qu's explanation only half at first; after watching for a while, it gradually became clear.
Different from ordinary healing, it is closer to arbitrary creation based on the existing foundation!
This position's fruit may not be strong in killing and slaughter, nor in special production, but in certain aspects it might have miraculous effects.
The water flow was disturbed.
Xuan-yellow and jade-white turned into two brushes; the colors within heaven and earth were continuously regulated and smoothed, gradually revealing special textures, rippling with waves.
The water waves within the Chuan Kingdom likewise rippled, causing the two to resonate.
If Third Senior Brother Lu Gang were here, he would surely see through the principle of Liang Qu's actions at a glance.
Forging a Spirit Weapon.
Spirit Weapon forging: take a piece of fine metal, heat and hammer it in a special way to enter a special state, then drip in the weapon master's fresh blood, producing Spirit Weapon resonance, granting the weapon life and a connection to the master's intent.
When a Spirit Weapon grows to the Yao Dragon stage, it derives into "Self-Nature," and can further metamorphose into a Xuan Weapon.
This fragment of heaven and earth is an exiled, ownerless thing; it can fully serve as that piece of metal, while Liang Qu's Chuan Kingdom is that "weapon master's fresh blood."
Right now, he uses the Heavenly Pivots and Earthly Axes to adjust the qi mechanisms of heaven and earth—that is the forging method, letting the "metal" enter resonance; the essence of heaven and earth serves as the purest charcoal fire, used for heating!
Can it succeed?
Liang Qu did not know.
No one has tried it, but the theory is feasible; he began practice.
The Heavenly Pivots and Earthly Axes, bestowed by the Yinglong's favor, gave him inconceivable regulatory ability—preemptively grasping long qi, collecting remnants, extremely convenient; now reinforced by the repaired Fifth Stage Yinglong Slaying Scripture——
Xuan-yellow and jade-white were quickly consumed clean; the small heaven and earth faintly intertwined with the Chuan Kingdom, the water flow cycling faster and faster.
Even Ge Zu and the others sensed the unusual change, looking around tensely.
They had been locked up for two months; if not for being able to contact the outside world, plus refining the essence of heaven and earth, they would have been frantic with anxiety long ago.
Liang Qu struck while the iron was hot, backhand pulling out another essence of heaven and earth, vaporizing and stripping it.
Consuming half yielded one; consuming all the blood-line worms yielded twenty total; the six people used seven portions, the old toad took three, leaving ten portions still!
Heaven and earth responded to each other.
Sun and moon revolved; the weather turned from slightly cool to lightly cold.
Long Eying stood on the riverbank, often gazing toward the East Sea.
The Third Prince reported progress tightly and densely, boosting investor confidence; the Holy Emperor, Tusi, and Khan King silently worried; the three great immortals each watched on.
The Lotus Flower Bodhisattva's Eight Heyi turned the prayer beads, deep red coiling around him, growing ever more terrifying.
"There's hope!"
"It's actually starting to fuse!"
The sky rippled with variegated light; qi frantically converged toward the Chuan Kingdom; Liang Qu consumed three portions of essence of heaven and earth, using the fourth, and the two formally began to merge.
Ge Zu and Shen Daxi gaped, surprise mixed with invigoration.
——
Su Wang saw through exactly what Liang Qu was doing.
"Is it forging a Spirit Weapon? A genius idea; the Divine Ability of Opening Heaven and Earth requires a heaven-and-earth奇石, using this small heaven and earth as the奇石?"
Liang Qu was equally excited, watching heaven and earth continuously assimilated by the Chuan Kingdom, approaching an existence like a Xuan Weapon, thoughts fluctuating: "Can this fragment of heaven and earth serve as that Small Position Fruit?"
【Supporting the Ze Kingdom, the Lord's Bones can metamorphose into Huaiwo Lord's Bones, strength boundless, power to capture Heavenly Men.】
【Can consume Rotation Fruit, ten million Water Ze Essences, to advance the Ze Kingdom, perfect the Huaiwo Water Lord's Supreme Domain, grasp out the Ze Kingdom.】
Only one small position fruit away from the complete metamorphosis of the martial bones, ascending another level.
But Liang Qu knows the possibility is slim.
This heaven and earth has sufficient quantity, but the quality will definitely be insufficient.
The furnace is nothing more than a grand position fruit plus an awakened realm calamity dragon; the two undergo some unique chemical reaction, producing an effect greater than the sum of its parts, pushing sublimation to the extreme, breaking free from shackles, achieving eternal life and immortality.
Transforming into a rainbow is an unreached future; the "absolute domain" formed by the grand position fruit and accompanying middle or small position fruits is the "realm," the world, heaven and earth.
The Blood River Realm is nothing more than an incomplete "realm," equivalent to the furnace ascending, the rainbow transformation unfulfilled; it merely possesses its own particularity.
Imagination knows no bounds.
Dreams are the most vast thing in the world.
By leveraging the concept of "dreams" and the two generations of dragon sovereigns, the founding emperor of Great Li enabled all lingering spirits to exert their residual warmth, using quantity to fill, jointly sustaining a vast world close to self-operation.
Quite like before when visiting the Hanging Temple, borrowing the power of sentient beings' vows to pray to the Buddha.
Three grand position fruits, in terms of volume, are not inferior to one grand position fruit and three middle position fruits or four small position fruits, thus becoming a bloated monstrosity.
"As long as it can offset part of it, as long as it reduces demand, turning into several hundred strands of vital energy, I would still profit handsomely——"
Crack.
Between heaven and earth, a fissure appeared; under Liang Qu's persistent control, infiltration, and fusion, this small heaven and earth gradually began to twist, like a perilous thatched hut whose main support structure has been replaced.
The Lion King's condition worsens, struggling to control the world's impurities.
But Liang Qu's operation has likewise reached its end; he draws a deep breath.
"One move to banish heaven and earth, having imprisoned us for nearly three months, is already enough to be proud of!"
Silver hook, iron painting.
Golden gaze blazing forth, the last water within Chuan State is completely drained, and the fat fish and other aquatic beasts are forced to squeeze into a mass.
Originally mutually infiltrating, the perilous thatched hut, beset by internal and external troubles, is instantly washed away by floodwaters.
No sound, no terrifying momentum—only the sky darkens, the earth lies shattered and fragmented, and the small world steps into collapse!
【Chuan State (false) massive growth, tainted with yin and yang, reversible to Yellow Spring State (false), jointly raising the Yellow Sand River, the state boundless.】
"Oh ho ho!" the Third Prince shouted loudly, "Old big boss, big boss is coming out!"
Ge Zu, Su Wang, Xin Da Fu Fu Shui Ta Li, finally surveying the surroundings.
Cracks spread across heaven and earth, arising from all directions, intersecting and growing mutually.
Some cracks face bright sunshine, mountains bathed in orange-yellow.
Some cracks face dazzling red light, seeping through.
Utterly different scenes, as if telling them which direction to choose.
Without hesitation, Chuan State throws open its gates.
Heaven-covering, earth-enshrouding water flows reverse course, sucking in world fragments; simultaneously, Liang Qu commands the flood, surging and pouring down, wildly crashing toward the blood-colored fissure!
"Lotus! Flower! Scholar!"
Himan flowers spread across mountains and fields; farmers walk the flower beds, carefully nurturing each seedling; Jiuyi Mountain, this former site of the River God Sect, was mistakenly reoccupied by Jiuyi Mountain.
One year ago, the River God Sect suddenly rebelled, actually causing a turmoil more terrifying than that of the Qingpurity Sect over a hundred years prior.
No one knows what the River God Sect sect leader did, nor why he did so; the second-grade sect sect leader, the newly promoted elder of limitless potential in the Heaven Fire Sect, clearly had a bright future ahead—truly unwise.
But these have nothing to do with Qiu Ye; she even feels pleased about it.
The River God Sect sect leader rebelled well!
Qiu Ye leans back in her chair, revealing her lovely curves, lifts her Himan flower tea, takes a sip, gazes into the distance, heart open and spirit delighted, as if her realm had risen by one or two levels.
Without enduring wind and rain, how can one see a rainbow? The River God Sect's incident not only allowed Jiuyi Mountain to return to orthodoxy, but because it was appointed by the Heaven Fire Sect, even if the master slumbers, she alone guards the post; other sects, unaware of the reason, dare not come—fearing to provoke the Heaven Fire Sect.
Counterflow.
Recalling the past contest, when she herself fell into the flower field in a miserable scene, she wishes she could grind her teeth and suck blood.
"Pa-da!"
Eyelid twitch, facial skin spasms.
Qiu Ye, a great adept, extends her hand to touch her face, feeling a drop of clear water, her fingers rubbing it.
Where did the water come from?
She lifts her head to look, pupils clear, gradually dilating.
A fissure cuts across the sky; trickling water seeps from the crack.
Amid the terrified gazes of the Nine Mountain multitude, the entire sky comes under pressure, sagging with elasticity like a full udder.
Under extreme tension, the fragile sky can no longer bear the flood; the firmament shatters.
Boom!
Thunder shakes the ears, mighty floodwaters pour downward!
Shadows spread three thousand li; straining the eyes sees no end; the field of view is all darkness, a vast expanse; she sees only a silhouette, a terrifying figure that has made her dream countless times, tossing and turning.
Jade Dew Pavilion, Qi Ju Yan lifts her head, grips her palm tightly.
Great Enlightenment Temple, Hui Zhen lifts her head, palms pressed together.
Heaven Fire Sect, Wu Ling Xu, Fei Tai Yu lift their heads, shocked to the extreme.
Dragon Tiger Pavilion, Northern Dipper Valley, Treasure Spirit Mountain——
Golden eyes two points like torches.
A water pillar piercing heaven and earth descends upon Jiuyi Mountain!
Like an immortal piercing heaven and earth, striking down from above, the earth undulates continuously, trembling like cloth.
"Lotus! Flower! Scholar!"
Clearly separated by tens or even hundreds of thousands of li, this roar strangely reaches every person's ears, as if heaven and earth resonate to propagate it; the vast Blood River Realm, no one fails to hear it.
Ten thousand people suddenly understood.
The River God Sect Master has returned!
"Great Bodhisattva!" Wu Lingxu and Fei Taiyu turned back in alarm.
The Lotus Great Bodhisattva stepped out of the shadows, turning the prayer beads in his hand: "Two days ago, I merely needed to worry a little, to wait for the right time, to act in accordance with the moment?"
"This—"
Wu Lingxu and Fei Taiyu did not understand at first, but soon they figured out the reason, and delight simultaneously appeared at the edge of their minds and vision.
The spiral water column was entirely blood-red, with white water foam swirling around it.
On one side of the terrifying apparition, a phantom gradually emerged—a giant holding up the heavens, wearing a crown and robes, standing proudly between heaven and earth, neither joyful nor sorrowful, with only a single gaze; the pillar that pierced heaven and earth collapsed instantly, unable to withstand a single blow.
Wu Lingxu and Fei Taiyu had tears welling in their eyes, nearly kneeling, bowing their heads in worship.
After waiting so long, so long—
The Fourth Immortal has revived!
Departed God?
Qiuye curled up in the corner, eyes wide open, trembling all over, her heart filled with endless longing, which instantly turned into boundless hatred for Liang Qu—this is a demon even the Departed God would personally appear to annihilate.
With one glance, the water column shattered; a finger pointed downward, pressing down, as if the figure on the mountain were nothing but a flying insect.
The finger flew forward, parting the airwave, clear circular fingerprints visible; Qiuye's emotions surged, she cursed fiercely, pressing down with great force, completely forgetting she too was within the finger's range.
However, in the next moment.
Qiuye froze, her beautiful eyes wide open, straining to the point of tearing at the corners; she clearly saw beneath the shattered water column, her nightmare hands holding up the heavens, despite a trace of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth—but—she held firm!
Transparent ripples surged wildly, resisting all from the outside. Her clothes were torn to shreds, merely a fingertip's touch forced Liang Qu into nakedness, his muscle lines clearly visible, forged like steel and cast like iron.
The River God Sect Master did not fall.
The roar filled his ears, the tall man planted his feet on the earth, three thousand li of territory dispersing mighty power, he stood firm on the peak of Jiuyi Mountain, bracing against the finger!
Ge Zu and Zhang Longxiang, who had long prepared to die first and absorb the damage, were stunned, then broke off their thoughts, joining Xin Daguang in a simultaneous assault to relieve this pressure.
The same ripples undulated on the finger, but broader and denser than Liang Qu's; all creative arts landing upon it were like stones sinking into the sea, save for the authority of Xin Da, which could still produce one or two effects.
Ripples collided and struck each other.
Beneath the crown and robes, on the shadow-obscured, dark and indistinct face, gazing at the tiny creature beneath the finger, a flicker of emotion appeared for the first time, more moving colors and memories surfacing from the depths.
It was this very moment of pause.
"Guā!"
Wu Lingxu and Fei Taiyu thought they had misheard; they seemed to hear a frog's croak, followed by Liang Qu cracking open his mouth corner, revealing a crimson gum.
Another roar echoed across heaven and earth.
"Shī! Wáng!"
The Lion King's eyes and ears streamed with blood, his consciousness long blurred and chaotic, he was struck by the surrounding water waves.
This tactile signal, rehearsed countless times, though the Lion King had forgotten what he was doing, he instinctively hurled out that mass of dark red, viscous substance! Exercising authority once more.
The "wave" originally used to gather shifted from outside to inside, completely detonating the entire mass of viscous substance.
The Fourth Immortal's sea of consciousness was chaotic, still muddled, yet facing the viscous substance, he instinctively warned, attempted to retreat, but at this moment, tremendous force transmitted from the finger, seizing the Fourth Immortal and blocking Him!
The tiny worm's veins bulged, muscles taut, bursting forth with astonishing power.
Pull the River! Grasp the River!
Beneath the crown and robes, the eyes blazed with fierce light, a streak of black lightning split down from the heavenly punishment.
Where the lightning reached, the world split open!
Xin Daguang, Su Wang, and Ge Zu felt their hearts leap wildly.
"To die first—"
Bang!
The black lightning shattered and vanished, thread by thread, tiny snakes darting about.
Blazing golden light illuminated heaven and earth, Liang Qu stood in the void, surrounded by rivers, resembling a golden Buddha, withstanding the assault.
Dragon-Tiger Golden Body, invincible for an instant!
"If you want to come, come; if you want to go, go? Visiting a brothel? Even then, you'd have to pay!"
Liang Qu's gums bled, he roared to the heavens, embraced the finger, and forcefully rotated it.
Crack!
Finger bones snapped, the Fourth Immortal was sent staggering, lightning-fast, he violently collided with that expanding mass of sludge!
Boom!
Swirling black smoke enveloped the Fourth Immortal, simultaneously shrouding the radiant golden Liang Qu!
