Chapter 1276: Target: Ji Dongzi
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The mountain range quaked and cracks appeared on the rocks. Very soon, the mountain above Xu Qing’s cultivation place seemed to be covered by a spider web.
More and more cracks appeared, quickly becoming denser.
Three breaths later, the vast mountain range seemed as if it had always been composed of loose dust. It lost its supporting force and collapsed.
A gust of wind stirred up a dust storm, spreading out in all directions.
At the same time, a terrifying aura spread out from the depths.
This aura carried an extreme domineeringness and the might of a god as it spread out in waves.
Cracks spread on the ground, forming ravines.
At the same time, the rainforest surrounding the mountains shook violently, and in the next moment, all the trees and vegetation withered and became part of the dust storm.
The ferocious beasts within it were no exception, until the impact reached hundreds of kilometers before finally coming to a halt.
At the epicenter of the countless cracks and crevices intersecting with each other in the area where the former mountain was located, the ground had sunken down by thousands of feet.
From afar, it looked like an irregular crater.
At the bottom of the crater, a figure gradually rose into the air.
As the figure walked out, a terrifying pressure emanated from it. The storm in the outside world became even more violent, and as it spread out, deafening whistling sounds rang out.
The sky also churned and changed as if responding to the emergence of this figure.
Moreover, black flames spread from its body, flowing along the ravines like a river from the underworld, representing death and slaughter.
Countless soul threads erupted from its body, blotting out the sky and circling it at high speed.
In the gap between the flames and the soul threads, the figure walking over step by step was faintly discernible. One could only vaguely see that it was a youth.
His peerless appearance couldn’t be seen clearly. Only his long hair that fluttered in the wind shone with purple light in the fire.
This lasted until this slender figure walked out of the ten thousand-foot-deep crater and stood above the storm, standing between heaven and earth.
The wind blew his long black robe, bringing with it a cold and sharp intent.
He lifted his head.
It was a peerlessly beautiful face, giving off a feeling that it couldn’t be blasphemed. It seemed to belong to a god.
His expression was cold but the circular mark shining on his forehead exuded a hint of evilness. That was the mark brought by the magus!
He was Xu Qing.
Spirit Repository… perfection stage.”
Xu Qing lowered his head and looked at the ravines on the ground and the soul threads surrounding him. He then took a deep breath.
He had spent the most time in the Spirit Repository realm. It wasn’t because this realm was unprecedentedly difficult, but because his secret repositories were different from others.
Others were secret repositories, but his were divine repositories, an emperor repository, and a magus repository.
He demanded too much, so it naturally took more time.
It was only today that he could be considered to have reached the great circle of perfection.
However, there was still a necessary requirement before he could break through and step into Nihility.
“Heavenly Dao…”
Xu Qing’s gaze was deep.
He recalled what Eldest Senior Brother had said about the way to obtain the Heavenly Dao.
The third segment of the Grand Hunt, the Divine Realm!
“Then, the Divine Realm opened by the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race will be where 1 step into Nihility!”
“Even though I still lack four Heavenly Daos, my combat strength is completely different from before.”
After pondering for a moment, Xu Qing restrained his expectations for the future. With a thought, the soul threads in the surroundings rushed over and quickly gathered on his body.
In the blink of an eye, the first god form was formed.
That was the combat strength of a first stage Nihility cultivator.
After that, even more soul threads gushed in. In an instant, the second god form appeared.
The fluctuations of a second stage Nihility cultivator’s combat strength shook the surroundings.
Immediately after, even more soul threads fused into it and the third god form appeared. The power of the third stage of Nihility spread in all directions and the might of the god was earth-shattering.
This wasn’t the end. When the last soul thread returned, the fourth god form erupted monstrously from Xu Qing’s body.
That was the form of Crimson Goddess and also the ultimate god form.
Its combat strength at the fourth stage of Nihility swept through the sky, shaking the earth, distorting the void, and producing anomalous substances.
This form was Xu Qing’s strongest state in the past. It contained all his cultivation strength and the divine authorities he had come into contact with in his life.
Regardless of whether it was the Sundial or the Purple Moon, they were all a part of this form.
“This form was the limit of my strength before 1 entered Jiuli.”
“But now…”
Xu Qing closed his eyes and the fifth magus repository in his body erupted with energy. Roars from different heads of Jiuli rang out from Xu Qing’s body.
The sky trembled and the clouds exploded. Endless waves spread out from the void. Jiuli’s nine heads rushed out of his body and surrounded his body, forming a huge vortex.
They moved rapidly, forming a force that suppressed the surroundings.
It was a shocking sight.
Amidst the rumbling, Qiuniu was the first to leave the vortex and transform into an illusory dragon totem that rushed towards Xu Qing and adhered to his neck, forming a dragon armor!
It would empower Xu Qing in all Dao related to sound, and in Xu Qing’s fourth god form, his words would echo like whispers of the gods. With Qiuniu’s empowerment, these whispers would become even more terrifying.
Next, Chaofeng flew in and merged into Xu Qing’s body, manifesting a pair of black wings on his back. As they flapped, a strong wind howled, causing the world to change color.
Chaofeng would empower Xu Qing in all matters related to speed.
Next were Pulao, Bi’an, and Chiwen.
Pulao transformed into arm armors, empowering all divine abilities. Henceforth, all the divine abilities and spells displayed by Xu Qing in this state would be empowered by Pulao, greatly enhancing his combat prowess.
Bi’an transformed into chest armor, empowering the Dao of sealing. Whether it was D132 or any of Xu Qing’s sealing techniques, they would become extremely terrifying in this state.
As for Chiwen, it transformed into back armor. Its function was simple yet incomparable – it could dispel all disasters!
Immediately after, it was Baxia and Fuxi.
The former formed most of his body armor, covering more than half of the area. What it enhanced was Xu Qing’s physical defense.
From now on, Xu Qing’s defense would reach an incredibly astonishing height.
The latter had a similar effect, but what it enhanced was the soul.
In this state, as long as Fuxi didn’t die, Xu Qing’s soul wouldn’t die.
Henceforth, his body and soul would be completely different from before in terms of defense.
The most special one was the Suanni!
Even Xu Qing was very surprised by its effect. What it transformed into wasn’t armor but a wisp of green smoke that swayed behind Xu Qing and connected to the sky. What it augmented… was actually Xu Qing’s divinity!
With its enhancement, Xu Qing’s fourth god form was enhanced from the divine source.
On this point, after Xu Qing thought about it, he had a guess. Perhaps the original Suanni wasn’t like this. It was because of the suppression and devouring by the spider god, resulting in a common mutation.
Only this answer could explain why the magus form of Jiuli’s Suanni was actually compatible with divine powers.
Xu Qing buried this guess and looked at the last head of Jiuli.
It was Yazi.
It transformed into a malevolent mask. The moment Xu Qing looked over, it quickly flew over and landed on Xu Qing’s face.
It enhanced slaughter. From now on, all magic treasures and weapons would display peerless ferocity under its integration.
The moment it came into contact with Xu Qing’s face, the sky darkened and rumbling sounds rang out in all directions. Countless bolts of lightning danced like silver snakes.
At this moment, the storm became even more violent. In this strong wind, Xu Qing, who was standing in the sky, underwent a drastic transformation!
It was a bizarre figure, combining the god form with the magus form!
The grayish-black dragon armor exuded an aura of killing intent and mystery, while the totems of the nine heads of Jiuli carried the breath of ancient times.
With wings spread behind, a rising purple moon, and the god’s body beneath the dragon armor, magus and god merged into one.
Even denser gray fog emanated from his body, enveloping the heavens and the earth, churning outward continuously, giving a profound sense of awe.
In this form, Xu Qing had a feeling.
He could turn the sky pitch-black with a thought.
He could collapse the ground with a gaze.
He could destroy all living beings with his thoughts.
He could ignore the rules with a raise of his hand.
“So, this is the battle prowess of the great circle of perfection of Nihility…”
Xu Qing mumbled. After recalling the few great heaven’s chosen he had come into contact with in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, his eyes gleamed.
He was very clear that with the enhancement of Jiuli in all aspects, his combat strength had already surpassed the fourth stage of the Nihility and reached the perfection stage.
He was truly in the same combat strength range as Tuoshi Shan, Fan Shishuang, and Ji Dongzi. Moreover, he was at the peak.
This was Xu Qing’s strongest form now!
“However, this isn’t the strongest state of the magus repository!”
“In the memory fragment of Jiuli’s skulls, his magus form wasn’t like this.”
Xu Qing recalled the memory fragments he had seen. At that time, outside the God Killing Array, Jiuli who was sitting cross-legged there had a vast gray fog behind him.
In the depths of the fog, there was a humongous creature with a terrifying aura that could shake the heavens and the earth. Moreover, it wasn’t in the shape of a dragon.
It looked like a human body!
“That’s the true ancestral magus form of Jiuli!”
Xu Qing was tempted and tried to activate the magus repository. However, no matter how he activated it, the magus repository only rippled and didn’t show any signs of activating.
At the same time, a mysterious restriction was reflected in Xu Qing’s mind.
It was like a sturdy barrier that couldn’t be broken through.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and analyzed inwardly.
“With my current strength, I’m still unable to display it…”
“Perhaps when I obtain the four Heavenly Daos and step into Nihility, I will have the ability to break through the barrier and allow the magus form of Jiuli to reappear in the world.”
At the thought of this, Xu Qing retracted his thoughts and looked into the distance.
He recalled the events after coming to the Mountains and Seas Region. From the time he met Ji Dongzi and was chased into Jiuli Forbidden, to the time he struggled with his life on the line and finally reaped a huge harvest.
Everything he experienced during this period, as well as the true history he saw, made him feel an indescribable emotion.
After a long time, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes.
“Since I’ve walked out of Jiuli, then… Ji Dongzi!”
Killing intent rose in Xu Qing’s heart. With a sway of his body, the sound of thunder exploded in the sky and his figure tore through the air..
