Chapter 587: Red Hare Breaks Through a Million Years, the Sacrificial Array Opens
Feihuang went deep into the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest without any obstruction, arriving at the massive cave located closest to the Life Lake.
This place could be considered the spot where he and Qian Renxue pledged their love.
If Red Hare hadn't brought them here back then, forcing the two to experience life and death together and support one another, the progress of their relationship would not have been so fast or so smooth.
Feihuang walked up to an open space where a withered bitter mugwort plant lay, and he picked it up, "I didn't expect this thing to still be here."
He still remembered that he had used this very thing back then to treat the burns on Qian Renxue's back.
It was also the catalyst for the first intimate contact between the two.
"Xue Jie, I don't want to fight you to the death, so the only way is to unify the continent before you become a god, creating a fait accompli." Feihuang clenched his fists.
This was the only way he could think of to resolve Qian Renxue's death tribulation.
Because Qian Renxue, not yet a god, could be subdued by him in a single move; as long as he waited until before she became a god, the continent would already be unified, and even if she became a god, she would no longer stir up conflict.
Otherwise, it would completely violate the Angel God's creed of justice.
In a continent amidst chaotic times, naturally, anyone could compete; the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, there is nothing to say, and there is no distinction between righteous and evil.
But for a continent that has already achieved unification, whoever dares to break the hard-won peace is the most evil existence in the world.
In any case, for a continent with a wise ruler on the throne and all nations united, if it were Feihuang, he would absolutely not rebel for no reason, and he believed Qian Renxue was the same.
Feihuang still had this bit of trust in Qian Renxue.
In fact, the current Qian Renxue thought the same; she was working hard to pass the Angel Nine Trials, with the goal of surpassing Nan Feihuang in strength, and then, before he found his chance to become a god and surpassed her—the Angel God—she would unify the continent as quickly as possible. By then, no matter how strong Feihuang's power or how great his ambition, he would only be able to hide it and obediently marry into her Qian Family.
At worst, she thought, she could give birth to an angel baby for Feihuang in the future as the heir to the Spirit Empire.
That would also count as Feihuang's heir unifying the continent, right?
Unknowingly, in both of their hearts, this war to unify the continent had become a part of their little game.
If Feihuang wins, the Gulei Kingdom unifies the continent, and Qian Renxue marries into the Nan Family.
If Qian Renxue wins, the Spirit Empire unifies the continent, and Nan Feihuang marries into the Qian Family.
As for Bibi Dong, neither Nan Feihuang nor Qian Renxue feared her; both being successors to Level One Gods, Qian Renxue did not think she would be inferior to Bibi Dong in the future, and Nan Feihuang had never even looked at her as a threat.
It seemed there was another contender for hegemony; as for the Star Luo Empire and Tang San, neither Nan Feihuang nor Qian Renxue would leave them any path to survival.
Tap, tap, tap...
Just as Feihuang was lost in nostalgia and thought, two sets of footsteps came from behind him.
Feihuang turned his head and said, "Long time no see, Red Hare, Xiaoling!"
The arrivals were none other than the Red Hare Horse and the Sacred Heavenly Spirit Horse.
The Sacred Heavenly Spirit Horse was now Lv Lingqi's mount, and Xiaoling was the name Lingqi had given it.
Now that Lingqi had headed to Sea God Island and Xiaoling could not follow, Feihuang had sent it to Red Hare's side years ago. In any case, this little mare liked Red Hare, so this move could be said to be exactly what she wanted.
It was just that Red Hare didn't seem very effective; after so many years, it hadn't produced a little Red Hare. It seemed that among beasts, the higher the cultivation, the weaker the reproductive ability, was indeed a fact.
That A Yin and Xiao Wu could reproduce so smoothly was likely because they had transformed into humans, and their body structures had become increasingly human-like as they entered their Mature Period.
"Master, I have waited for you for a long time. The promise we made in the past can finally be fulfilled, right? My power has been completely impossible to suppress during this period; if you didn't come, within two months, I would inevitably die under the Million-Year God Tribulation," Red Hare said.
"Yes, this day, we have both been looking forward to it for a long time." Feihuang's eyes narrowed, "Come, Red Hare."
Xiaoling rested its neck on Red Hare's body, full of reluctance to part with its husband.
Feihuang stepped forward and gently stroked its head, smiling, "Xiaoling, don't worry, your master Lingqi is also about to become a god. When that time comes, she will take you with her. Once you reach the God Realm, you can still be with Red Hare."
Xiaoling nodded and left the cave, looking back every few steps.
It knew that the power of both Nan Feihuang and Red Hare had reached the absolute peak of the current world; with the two combined, it was feared that their power would be so strong that no one on the continent could contend with them.
If it were caught in the aftermath of this power, it would likely not escape death.
Sensing that Xiaoling had moved far away, Nan Feihuang said, "Red Hare, let's begin!"
Upon hearing this, Red Hare said nothing; a red light flashed in its eyes, and the next moment, its entire body began to burn, covered in intense heat flames that surpassed Extreme Fire.
It unlocked the seal on itself, and at this moment, its soul power began to run wild rapidly; the limit of 990,000 years was instantly broken by it.
The flames gradually transformed into a reddish-gold light; this kind of golden soul power represented power comparable to a god, and was also the mark of a Million-Year Soul Beast.
In the sky, dark clouds gradually gathered; the Million-Year God Tribulation was about to descend.
But this time, Red Hare was not afraid, because as it unlocked its own seal, the Sacrificial Array also opened accordingly.
Deep within the Life Lake, Ditian woke up from Entering Stillness, looking at the sky in shock; his gaze pierced through the lake surface and saw the massive Godly Power gathering above.
"This... this is a God Tribulation. Could it be that horse? Is it crazy? To break through to a million years so rashly—ever since Lord Dragon God fell, no Soul Beast has ever been able to survive the Million-Year God Tribulation. This is an act of seeking one's own death."
Ditian knew very well the terror of the Million-Year God Tribulation. In fact, with his foundation, if he focused on cultivation and worked hard to increase his cultivation, his power would not be inferior to the Tianmeng Iceworm or the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and would even far exceed them.
After all, his power was not gained by picking up scraps like Ice Marrow, nor by devouring other lives; it was basically all gained through his own bit-by-bit cultivation, with a deep and solid foundation, and his background was enough for him to have become a god many times over.
But that was in the ancient era; in this current age, the difficulty of the God Tribulation had increased by more than ten or a hundred times. Even Ditian could only choose to suppress himself, not daring to rashly increase his cultivation excessively.
"Ditian, I feel that besides the God Tribulation, there is also a Sacrificial Array. It seems that horse is sacrificing itself to someone," a woman's voice echoed at the bottom of the lake. "After the sacrifice begins, the Soul Beast's body will disappear, and the God Tribulation will have no target and will naturally dissipate. But I am very curious, who is it that dares to accept such an overbearing Million-Year Spirit Ring?"
One must know that Red Hare was not a guy like Tianmeng who had no combat power; its strength was even above Ditian's, and its powerful fire-attribute soul power was exceptionally overbearing.
This kind of Spirit Ring was something even the most powerful Title Douluo among humans could not withstand.
