Chapter 626
With the help of these orbs of light, Jin Guang's divine might grew even greater. He roared toward the heavens, then swam straight toward the God of Immortality.
The God of Immortality had to maintain Maha Wuliang against Xiao Jingtian while also splitting his focus to counter the Jingmu Calamity · Senluo Hell unleashed jointly by Di Shitian and Xiao Aoshi.
Had it not been for the divine stone's aid, he would long since have been beaten into a pig's head.
In truth, he now had no ability to resist at all.
What's more, this golden dragon that Old Fahai had offered his life to create was in fact an existence on the same level as the God of Immortality himself.
After Jin Guang arrived, he opened his massive jaws and spewed forth endless flames, bathing the God of Immortality's body within them.
The temperature of these flames was so high that every great expert below could sense it was several degrees hotter than the heat Long Yuan had previously radiated.
A powerhouse of the God of Immortality's caliber, under the merciless burning of the flames, could not stop letting out wretched screams.
The flames only gradually spent themselves after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
By now, the God of Immortality, having fought four great experts on three fronts, had long since been utterly exhausted, and his body had been burned into a lump of charcoal.
"Fahai, Fahai…"
The greater part of his spirit had already been dragged into Jingmu Calamity · Senluo Hell.
The power of Maha Wuliang had also gradually dissipated.
Clearly he was already spent, a spent arrow at the end of its flight.
Only his mouth kept on muttering Fahai's name, plainly harboring deep hatred for that old monk.
The golden dragon that Fahai had become paid no heed to any of this. With a single grab of his dragon claw, he tore off the God of Immortality's left arm and took the Divine Stone Alms Bowl.
Then Jin Guang, holding the alms bowl in his mouth, came before Fazhi and spat the alms bowl out.
"Master!"
Fazhi's face was full of bitterness. Seeing the golden dragon before him, both strange and familiar, two streams of clear tears rolled down his cheeks.
He picked up the Divine Stone, faced the golden dragon, proclaimed the Buddha's name, and began to chant Buddhist scriptures.
Without the augmentation of the Divine Stone, and with his body already grievously wounded,
the God of Immortality no longer had the ability to fight Di Shitian and the other two great experts to a standstill.
His spirit was sent by Xiao Aoshi and Di Shitian, working together, into the deepest layer of Jingmu Calamity · Senluo Hell.
As for his fleshly body, already missing an arm, it was then charged by the furious Xiao Jingtian.
Who directly unleashed the four great forces of nature—wind, thunder, fire, and rain—and tore this decayed body, which had lingered on for a thousand years, directly into shreds.
A generation's top powerhouse, founder of the Search God Palace, who had proclaimed himself a god—the God of Immortality—thus met his end!
Miss Xue Yuan and God Xiao Qing exchanged a glance and could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
The God of Immortality was dead, the Search God Palace destroyed; from now on the two of them could live the lives they wished to live.
"Miss Xue Yuan, Xiao Qing, are you still returning to Hangzhou?"
Fazhi, reading the meaning in their eyes, asked them.
"No! The Search God Palace is gone, the god is dead, everything has returned to peace.
God Xiao Qing and I only wish to live some simple lives."
Miss Xue Yuan shook her head. She had in truth never coveted this so-called identity of Divine Concubine in the slightest.
The two of them took their leave of Fazhi with a bow, then bade farewell to Di Shitian and the others, and departed together.
Seeing Di Shitian and the three return along with Bu Jingyun, Fazhi, fearing they would seize the Divine Stone, immediately said,
"Mr. Xu, the two Mr. Xiaos, and Hero Bu, although this Divine Stone looks extraordinarily powerful, in truth it can no longer be used."
Saying so, he displayed the Divine Stone before everyone. On the alms bowl, no energy could be seen flowing or overflowing; it appeared extremely unstable.
"That false god recklessly drew on the Divine Stone's power, which has already consumed far too much of its strength, to the point of destroying its internal balance.
Use it once or twice more, and the balance of power within the Divine Stone must collapse; when that happens, the Divine Stone will be ruined.
Beneath Lei Fengta, without the Divine Stone's suppression, before long it will summon a cataclysmic flood that will drown the world."
Di Shitian, who had by now dispersed his ten-thousand-zhang glacial aura, said calmly,
"What you speak of, the Grand Dragon Leader already knew long ago. He never told us to seize the Divine Stone.
Instead, he asked me to bring you a message!"
"Ah? The Grand Dragon Leader has a message for me?"
Fazhi was both shocked and utterly baffled.
Although his strength ranked near the top within the Search God Palace, because of Fahai's presence, in truth he had never drawn much attention.
Added to that, the Search God Palace itself had never once shown itself to the world.
Few outside even knew of Fahai, let alone Fazhi.
The Grand Dragon Leader Ximen Wudi actually knew of him, and even had a message for him?
This truly made him seem more like a god than Di Shitian or the God of Immortality.
"This poor monk is all ears."
Fazhi immediately said solemnly.
"If anything goes wrong with the Divine Stone, you will need to find Miss Xue Yuan."
This sentence was transmitted by Di Shitian directly to Fazhi through spiritual force.
"Eh? Doesn't this mean the Grand Dragon Leader actually knows the ins and outs of the Divine Stone?
But what does this mean? What does it mean for something to go wrong with the Divine Stone, and why would I need to find Miss Xue Yuan?"
Fazhi did not understand the sentence, but his reverence for Ximen Wudi deepened by several degrees more.
After bowing respectfully to the others, he carefully packed away the alms bowl and rose into the air to depart.
"Nie Renwang, Duan Shuai, your sons Nie Feng and Duan Lang are now within the Qinglong Society. Are you willing to join my Qinglong Society?"
After watching Fazhi leave, Di Shitian turned to the remaining experts and asked.
Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai's return to the martial world this time was actually because Ximen Wudi had taken Lingyun Cave away.
They had already lost their place of shelter, as well as the one they needed to protect.
After exhausting the aura-shielding bestowed upon them by the dragon vein, they could only seek out their next path.
Being coerced by the God of Immortality to come slay the dragon this time, they were really just looking for something to do amid their boredom.
Before this, they had actually heard of the Qinglong Society's illustrious reputation.
They also knew that Nie Feng and Duan Lang had both already joined the Qinglong Society.
Hearing Di Shitian's recruitment, the two didn't even think about it, dropping to their knees and kowtowing to pledge themselves,
"Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai are willing to join the Qinglong Society; we humbly beg to be taken in."
"Very good, very good!"
Di Shitian nodded, expressing his satisfaction.
The strength of these two was actually on par with the Second Dao Huang; they simply hadn't made the rankings due to special circumstances.
The Qinglong Society's strength had increased once more.
"Good, then let us head back now!"
Di Shitian suddenly moved his hand, and a sheet of mystic ice condensed into an ice boat, carrying several people.
After taking one last look at the Second Dao Huang and Emperor Shadow, he steered the boat away.
"This Di Shitian's strength, compared to before at Tianmen, I'm afraid has grown considerably."
Watching them leave, Sword Prison suddenly spoke up.
Although he had been trapped in the Sword Realm back then, after becoming Sword Prison within the Sword Realm, he had already been able to observe this world through the inner demons of certain sword Dao masters.
Although Di Shitian had been extremely mysterious back then, there were always sword Dao masters by his side.
Therefore Sword Prison had actually long known what level of strength this Di Shitian within Tianmen possessed.
He just hadn't expected that someone so formidable could still gain improvement after joining the Qinglong Society?
Mysterious Yin Jian Chen smiled and said,
"So what if he's improved, as long as…"
Saying so, he looked toward the direction of Hangzhou.
"Very good!"
The two exchanged a smile and departed on their swords at the same time.
Emperor Shadow had used the power of the Startling Silence Blade this time, and from then on could no longer conceal his aura.
Watching this Dragon God Island fall into desolation as everyone departed, a chapter gradually coming to a close, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart,
