615 The Box in the Heart
However, this time was different from the ghost cave!
Back then, in the ghost cave, Xu Qing had seen a true god. After the other party opened Its eyes, the invasion formed affected all existences in the ghost cave.
That might was irresistible, unbearable, and unfathomable.
In fact, it wasn’t just his body that was disintegrating back then. Even the magic power in his body and the thoughts that surfaced in his mind seemed to be disintegrating and turned into individual entities.
He had felt that his everything was about to collapse.
If it wasn’t for the appearance of the centipede woman, he would probably have faced an unimaginable crisis at that time. Even if he relied on himself to barely wait until the singing voice from the pentagon wooden hut rang out to comfort the god, the delay would have caused him to suffer immense damage.
Even if he didn’t die, he would mutate into a lifeform like the deviant ghosts in the ghost cave.
Although the situation right now was similar, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Although Chu Tianqun’s murmurs used his divine body as a medium to simulate the murmurs of the gods, at the end of the day, this wasn’t the descent of a true god. It was just an imitation.
Even though the god’s image had appeared behind him, it was intrinsically different from everything Xu Qing had experienced in the ghost cave.
Moreover, the current Xu Qing was also different from back then in the ghost cave.
Xu Qing jerked his head upward, his eyes appearing bloodshot and glimmering with an unusual intensity.
He fixed his gaze on Chu Tianqun, who sat cross-legged and enveloped in a radiant golden glow. Despite the countless fleshy tendrils sprouting from his body as the world around him warped and contorted, he paid them no heed and allowed them to grow unchecked.
It wasn’t that he was without means to resist Chu Tianqun’s divine power.
Regardless of whether it was the Heavenly Dao Mosasaur, the Ghost Emperor Mountain, or the sound-catching bottle that contained the sound of a woman singing, they were all methods that could be effective.
The power of the Poison Restriction and the Purple Moon could also allow him to resist the mutters.
However, killing intent flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. What he wanted to do wasn’t to resist but suppress!
Using divine power to suppress divine power!
Xu Qing wanted to give it a try.
This was because Chu Tianqun’s use of the god’s power gave him inspiration.
‘Can I do it too?’
Xu Qing mumbled inwardly.
Being in this Smoke Race’s fragmented world seemed dangerous but it was also an opportunity. At the very least, this place was relatively hidden.
‘In that case, if I don’t use much, coupled with the concealment of the Poison Restriction and this world fragment…’ Determination appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes as he looked at the crack in the sky.
The moment he had the thought, even the sky was affected by Chu Tianqun’s muttering. The Heavenly Dao Mosasaur, which could clearly still move freely, suddenly swung its tail and slammed the crack.
The gap that Xu Qing had torn open earlier instantly blurred and closed again, returning to its original confined state.
Immediately after, Xu Qing’s gaze landed on Chu Tianqun. The Third and Fourth Heavenly Palaces in his body circulated at the same time.
The mysterious Poison Restriction from the Divine Realm instantly spread in Xu Qing’s body. The instant it filled all his flesh and blood, the fleshy tendrils on his body immediately rotted and turned into black blood that flowed down.
The sounds that entered his body were also killed by the poison. All resistance was neutralized and all separation was erased.
After that, the Poison Restriction spread out of his body and fused into the surrounding void, causing even more chaotic distortions and blurriness to appear in his surroundings.
The anomalous substances that belonged to him formed by the power of his Poison Restriction also grew at this moment. They continued to circle around Xu Qing as the center, as though Xu Qing had become a lifeform with the characteristics of a god.
It wasn’t over yet. The next moment, the purple moon inside Xu Qing’s body suddenly spread out, turning his flesh and blood purple. In the end, his whole body became purple.
The purple light emitted by his body affected the external world, causing the surrounding area to instantly be filled with resplendent purple light.
Under the envelopment of this purple light, another type of anomalous substance that belonged to Xu Qing was born.
It was formed by the Purple Moon. After it invaded all things, it would use Xu Qing as the source.
At that moment, they rapidly entangled with the anomalous substances of the Poison Restriction and circled Xu Qing together. They continued to spin and in the blink of an eye, they formed a storm that connected to the sky and swept in all directions with rumbling sounds.
One could faintly see an illusory Purple Moon in the storm.
That was formed from the god’s authority and true divine power.
Behind the Purple Moon was a pair of black eyes that couldn’t be dyed by the purple light.
This pair of eyes contained endless poison and infinite restrictions.
Two different divine powers erupted from Xu Qing’s body. They didn’t fuse or overlap. Instead, they resisted and coexisted at the same time.
They were emitting Their divine might at this moment!
As this divine might permeated the air, an indifferent expression appeared on Xu Qing’s face. His body emitted a supreme dignity and his life status started rising intensely!
Finally, with the enhancement of the two god authorities, it reached an astonishing level. It was as though… Xu Qing had become an embryonic and incomplete new god.
The shadow trembled and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor shivered. They immediately knelt in front of Xu Qing. Compared to the reverence of the Diamond Sect’s ancestor, the shadow emitted incomparable fanaticism and piety.
Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes. A golden light spread out from his eyes and finally enveloped his entire body. He seemed to be filled with holiness.
“Shadow Prisoner’s Restriction, Devil’s Decree, immortal art breaks the spirit, heaven and earth is my fate.”
Xu Qing had asked the Diamond Sect’s ancestor to fabricate this incantation to hide the shadow fusion secret technique. At this moment, he didn’t have any special meaning when he chanted it and only spoke casually.
However, it caused the shadow to be stunned and even more excited.
Moreover, the tone of the sentence that came out of Xu Qing’s mouth felt ambiguous. It was as though every word was enhanced by countless pieces of information that contained other meanings. When it spread, the world seemed to change.
Everything here distorted endlessly. All the changes from the god’s murmurs formed again through Xu Qing’s words.
The ground quaked and all the sand began to collapse. Countless phenomena appeared around Xu Qing and roars that seemed to have come from bygone eras rang out mournfully.
Following that, the ground shattered and blurry flesh tentacles rose. The appearance of the entire world changed drastically, filled with bizarre entities and unknownness.
Everything was invaded and everything was in chaos. The world swayed and distorted strangely.
The source of all this was none other than Xu Qing.
Under the enhancement of the two divine powers, although he was incomplete and only in the embryonic stage, his life status had indeed reached an unbelievable level in this instant.
Hence, to a certain extent, his voice was the god’s voice.
Chu Tianqun was only simulating, but Xu Qing wasn’t. In essence, his voice was a true murmur!
Although it wasn’t as strong as the other gods, it was enough to suppress Chu Tianqun.
Chu Tianqun’s murmurs instantly became ‘chaotic’. From being incomprehensible previously, it became understandable.
“Godhead follows the underworld, the underworld surpasses the spirit… sun’s virtue and moon’s essence…”
As his chest heaved, he opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qing in horror. Just as he was about to continue speaking, the golden light outside his body collapsed.
As it collapsed, countless mutations erupted on his body.
His body began to disintegrate and his thoughts were becoming independent. Everything about him severely mutated when Xu Qing spoke. The murmurs from his mouth turned into mournful cries.
In this crucial moment, Chu Tianqun drove his right hand into his own eye. As he plunged downward, his eyeball burst apart and a torrent of golden blood erupted in a mist that rapidly expanded, countering the divine voice emanating from Xu Qing.
Xu Qing wasn’t feeling good either. The power he erupted with at this moment wasn’t something his body could withstand. As his voice rang out, his body also began to collapse.
However, this attempt allowed Xu Qing to clearly realize that the two types of god power in his body had more possibilities to be developed, but at the same time, they also posed an extreme danger.
Unless he became stronger, he would die if he wasn’t careful when using them.
After suppressing Chu Tianqun’s mutters, he immediately withdrew the Poison Restriction and Purple Moon.
The storm dissipated and the world returned to normal.
Meanwhile, as the golden blood continued to spread, Chu Tianqun let out a piercing, mournful cry, yet he persevered and managed to subdue his mutation. In that moment, his countenance twisted into a malevolent scowl as he soared into the heavens, bellowing out a defiant roar.
“You’re clearly a cultivator! You’re clearly a cultivator!”
“How can this be? How can you suppress me!!”
“I don’t believe it!”
Chu Tianqun’s face was covered in golden blood, his features contorted and twisted with madness. With his sole remaining eye fixed intently upon Xu Qing below, he raised his right hand and drove it straight through his own chest. Clutching his beating heart firmly in his grasp, he wrenched it from his body.
Blood spurted out as he crushed the beating golden heart in his hand.
Flesh and blood scattered everywhere as a box appeared in the heart!
If Old Master Seventh was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this item was very similar to the box Crown Prince Purple Green held that day. However, upon closer inspection, there were some differences. They weren’t the same and this one seemed to be much cruder.
As Chu Tianqun crushed the box, a beam of light shot out.
It was the gaze of a god!
The instant he sensed this light, Xu Qing’s heart shook violently. The Poison Restriction and Purple Moon in his body actually showed signs of being suppressed at this instant.
This light didn’t shoot in all directions. It materialized and fused into Chu Tianqun’s right hand, causing his palm to be extremely resplendent. He lifted it and pressed it toward Xu Qing, letting out a low shout.
“Divine technique, future, stay not!”
Xu Qing’s breathing was hurried. He knew very well that the god specimens grasped mysterious and unfathomable techniques. For example, Saintly Star had used an astonishing technique back then. Although he failed in the end, it left an extremely deep impression on Xu Qing.
The instant Chu Tianqun spoke, Xu Qing immediately sensed the changes in his surroundings.
Images appeared around him. There were hundreds and thousands of these scenes, and his figure was reflected in each of them.
Some meditated peacefully, some ran in panic, some died, and some wailed endlessly…
There were countless scenes.
Those… were all Xu Qing’s future in the next moment.
These images overlapped and turned into an picture book. As Chu Tianqun waved, the pages of the picture book rapidly flipped.
He wanted to find a scene of Xu Qing’s death and capture it from the changing future, turning it into reality.
This was a divine technique.
Xu Qing had experienced a similar scene when he faced Saintly Star back then.
At that time, the solution was to interfere with the future and control fate again.
But Saintly Star had been an unfinished product, and his divine technique was far from perfected. Moreover, there had been no such box to aid in his battle.
Now, however, Chu Tianqun had clearly given it his all. The appearance of the box and the gaze from within fused into his palm, causing great waves to surge in Xu Qing’s mind.
Yet, there were two sides to every coin. To Xu Qing, personally experiencing such a terrifying and relatively complete divine technique could be considered a gain to a certain extent.
At least at this moment, his perception of this divine technique was even more comprehensive than before. At this moment, countless information appeared in his mind.
