Under the enchantment and aura buff of Ye Mingqiu, this battle between humans and gods became increasingly fierce. The terrifying divine power rippled, tearing the earth apart, destroying city walls, and even some mortals watching from afar were injured by the aftermath of the battle.

King of Zhou led the army, watching King Zhou battle with the gods, his brows knit tightly.

As the king of the human race, he certainly knew humans couldn’t defeat the divine race, but to be able to fight the divine race to this extent with the Phoenix Armor, King Zhou’s strength had deeply gained his recognition.

An old man with a skinny figure like a withered skeleton had a huge vulture perched on his shoulder. He laughed grimly and said, "King of Zhou, congratulations! Achieving greatness is today. You have followed Heaven’s will to crusade against the rebellious tyrant, showcasing righteousness in the human realm. The divine race is willing to crown you as Emperor upon success."

"..."

King of Zhou remained silent, merely watching King Zhou battle with the gods in the distance. If he was confident in opposing the divine race, why would he want to become the divine race’s new puppet?

But history has too many lessons. The more one understands the foundation and power of the divine race, the harder it is to muster the will and resolve to resist. He once had ambitions to save the human race but now walked a path he never previously considered.

Becoming the next servant of the divine race, replacing the previous one who was ineffective.

Moreover...

The Blood Erosion Tyrant actually killed many of his soldiers on the way here and even beat Li Jing to death. Is this the divine race? Even those who are traitorous among the divine race are still arrogant and overbearing?

Yet even so, King of Zhou dared not say much, for the status of the human race is so low, incapable of defying the divine race.

....

"It’s very intense over there. Aren’t you going to help him?" Ye Mingqiu glanced at the white-clothed swordsman nearby, a playful smile on his face.

He could sense that this guy’s strength wasn’t weak. Although there were no special fluctuations, nor any enhancements like the Phoenix Armor, the strength of this white-clothed swordsman was still that of a top dominator, possibly even stronger than some great gods.

When humans possess Qi Refining, the divine traits of the divine race can be sharply reduced by the power of Qi Refining. A sufficiently strong human dominator can surpass those gods possessing divine traits.

For example, Ghost Wood who uses poison, he most likely isn’t a match for this white-clothed swordsman.

"..."

The white-clothed swordsman remained silent, just quietly watching Ye Mingqiu, and also looked at King Zhou who was battling four great gods and gradually gaining the upper hand.

Obviously, he feared this Blood Erosion Tyrant. Despite the opponent having just killed two great gods directly, he still couldn’t feel assured, as the Blood Erosion Tyrant is neutral chaos, and might erupt at any time, attacking anyone. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Do you think he can win? Just relying on the power of the Phoenix Armor?" Ye Mingqiu asked again.

"..."

The white-clothed swordsman still remained silent.

"Snap!"

Ye Mingqiu snapped his fingers, and pitch-black demonic flame burned on his hand. The power from Omni Authority also amplified the flame. A small wisp of black flame erupted with a disconcerting wave.

He held it in his palm, the corners of his mouth raising, looking towards the distant battle of King Zhou, and said, "I don’t like boring things. If you don’t want to answer, I don’t mind making the battlefield more interesting."

"You...!"

The white-clothed swordsman was immediately shocked, his fists clenched subconsciously. Seeing the behavior style of the Blood Erosion Tyrant, he probably really could do such a thing.

Thus, he reluctantly answered, "The power of the Phoenix is the most top-tier original divine power, even older and stronger than the divine power of other great gods. And those great gods have also consumed quite a bit of divine power in their fight with you.... If I’m not mistaken, your Dark Domain has the ability to devour divine power, doesn’t it?"

"Sharp eye."

Ye Mingqiu praised him, then said, "How about you teach me Qi Refining? I find this quite interesting."

Qi Refining, essentially allows those without divine traits to have the potential to challenge deities. Grasping Qi Refining can resist the suppression brought by divine traits to some degree, exerting power beyond ordinary imagination.

This cultivation method is highly valuable. If one could obtain it, analyze its principles, and derive theoretical results, the benefits would be substantial.

"You’re part of the divine race, unable to cultivate Qi Refining, waste of effort." The white-clothed swordsman replied.

"I don’t care whether you’re divine race or human race, I just want to play around. You give me the skills, then we’re good; otherwise... I’ll spice up the battlefield."

Ye Mingqiu played with the black flame, asking, "You wouldn’t want to see King Zhou killed, would you?"

"!"

The white-clothed swordsman gritted his teeth, displaying an expression of reluctance and resentment. But knowing this guy could really do such a thing, he helplessly sighed and said:

"Qi Refining, in essence, is about incorporating the Heaven and Earth Qi into the body. Then the technique used is... Opening the heart eye to cultivate Qi... Opening the acupoint requires... Inducing Qi requires... Also..."

"Mm, mmhm."

Ye Mingqiu casually took a notebook from his storage space, listening while taking notes, even asking questions at confusing parts, and the white-clothed swordsman responded seriously.

After some time, Ye Mingqiu showed a satisfied smile and said, "Oh, I see. I’ve got the basic principles down of Qi Refining. Do you have any other techniques to share with me?"

"Being from the divine race, yet researching human Qi Refining, you’re truly strange. You differ from all other members of the divine race I’ve encountered. Quite an odd person." The white-clothed swordsman said helplessly.
