Chapter 268 - 268 Divine Might of the Two Fires

268 Divine Might of the Two Fires

In Xu Qing’s body, the 65 magic apertures transformed into 65 vortices that continued to spin while producing rumbling sounds!

The appearance of the second ball of life fire was even more dazzling. It reflected the light of the first ball of life fire in his dantian, causing the light to reveal the Heavenly Palace more clearly.

At the same time, the burning of the 65 magic apertures also provided Xu Qing with a terrifying power, causing the two balls of life fire to transform into a sea of fire. When it spread out, the air around Xu Qing distorted as an indescribably high temperature erupted around him.

All of this caused Xu Qing to feel that it was a continent burning inside his body, not a volcano!

Among the sea corpse cultivators chasing after him, a few of the two fires cultivators who were more heavily injured let out miserable cries the moment Xu Qing’s second ball of life fire erupted.

They were fully focused on Xu Qing earlier, so the light from the life fire burned their eyes directly. Blood trickled down their eyes.

Even the recovered two fires cultivators felt their minds shake. The cultivation bases in their bodies fluctuated and their life fires showed signs of extinguishing under this crushing force.

As for the three fires cultivator, waves of emotions were surging in his mind before turning into horror. He slowed down involuntarily.

One ball of life fire was the early-stage Foundation Building realm, and two balls of life fire meant the mid-stage Foundation Building realm!

At this moment, Xu Qing’s cultivation base instantly stepped into a new stage as the second ball of life fire was formed, advancing to the mid-stage Foundation Building realm!

Although it looked like a breakthrough of a small realm, in the world of the Wanggu Continent, the difference between the different realms of cultivation was like heaven and earth.

It was fine in Qi Condensation. Once one reached Foundation Building, this difference was extremely obvious.

A cultivator with the Mystic Brilliance Form could easily kill a cultivator without the Mystic Brilliance Form.

It was the same between two fires and one fire.

As for Xu Qing, because of the existence of the life lantern, his two fires’ combat strength was no different from the late-stage Foundation Building with three fires. In addition, his emperor-level cultivation art, Golden Crow Refines All Life, allowed Xu Qing’s improvement at this instant to be earth-shattering!

At that moment, flames raged all over his body. As everything in the surroundings distorted, the pressure from his body spread in all directions.

Most of the pursuers behind him stopped. The instant the three fires cultivator took a deep breath and wasn’t willing to chase anymore, Xu Qing suddenly turned around with deep killing intent.

His speed was so fast that he couldn’t be seen by the two fires cultivators at all. The three fires cultivator felt his hair rising on their ends because even he could barely see Xu Qing’s figure.

However, as a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, he had plenty of combat experience. At the critical moment, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blue blood as he decisively chose to burn his magic apertures!

As a heaven chosen with some renown in the Sea Corpse Race, he had opened a total of 92 magic apertures. These 92 magic apertures erupted at the same time to stimulate his three flames to burn even more vigorously.

However, his expression still changed drastically.

This was because in this state, he could clearly see some of Xu Qing’s movements and also saw that Xu Qing’s target wasn’t him but… the sea corpse cultivators behind him.

With strength comparable to three fires and physical body refined by Golden Crow Refines All Life, Xu Qing’s speed had already reached the limit of what a Foundation Building cultivator could unleash. He directly appeared in front of an injured two fires sea corpse cultivator.

He directly slammed into the latter.

The body of the two fires sea corpse cultivator collapsed like a fragile paper. As flesh and brain matter splattered everywhere, Xu Qing had already arrived in front of another two fires sea corpse cultivator and rammed into him!

After that, the third, fourth, fifth!

He lifted his right hand, and a fire dagger appeared. When he moved past a two fires cultivator, the dagger had already slashed across the neck!

The head flew up!

Blood spurted out!

The Diamond Sect’s ancestor controlled the black iron stick and erupted with shocking lightning that headed straight for the other Foundation Building cultivators. There was also the shadow that had already spread out and formed a domain.

A large number of eyes formed on the ground and a large amount of the anomalous substances in the bodies of the sea corpse cultivators in the range were lost.

The entire process only lasted for seven to eight breaths of time, before half of the dozens of sea corpse cultivators either had their bodies explode or their heads flew up!

The faces of the surviving Sea Corpse Race members revealed clear horror. They retreated without any hesitation.

However, at the next instant, a cry rang out. The Golden Crow appeared behind Xu Qing and coldly looked around before flying out from Xu Qing’s side. Its powerful tail flames transformed into iron chains that headed straight for everyone.

Xu Qing attacked again. Although he hadn’t rushed out of the forbidden area and could be in danger at any moment, since he made a move, he instinctively wanted to kill all of them. At that moment, he stomped fiercely on the ground.

His powerful body shot forward at an even more terrifying speed as he rushed toward the three fires Foundation Building cultivator who was already retreating.

The pupils of the three fires Foundation Building cultivator contracted and he knew that he couldn’t dodge. Hence, his expression turned into one of malevolence and madness. He decided not to retreat anymore and waved his hands in front of him. Immediately, the 92 magic apertures in his body erupted again. In fact, he directly exploded two of his magic apertures!

With the help of the power from the destruction of two magic apertures, his strength soared again. He charged fiercely toward Xu Qing.

White bone hands stretched out crazily from the ground and the surrounding void, and rapidly coiled around Xu Qing.

There were so many skeletal hands that they formed a small sea of bones. The three fires Foundation Building cultivator didn’t stop as he spat out another mouthful of blue blood.

As soon as the blood appeared, it transformed into a blue flying sword with astonishing baleful aura and monstrous might that caused the surroundings to shake. It immediately locked onto Xu Qing.

The three fires Foundation Building cultivator performed another hand seals and slapped his chest; his body turned blurry and overlapping shadows appeared. They split into four identical bodies that headed straight for Xu Qing from four directions.

“Die!”

Xu Qing let out a cold snort. With a wave of his hand, the flames in his body erupted again, creating a violent impact when they came into contact with the bone hands in the surroundings. At the same time, he lifted his right hand and ruthlessly slammed down.

Immediately, the heavenly saber appeared above his head. With his current cultivation base, it was much stronger and faster. In an instant, it collided with the incoming small blue sword.

The instant they collided, Xu Qing fiercely punched to the side, colliding with a clone that was rushing over. The clone was sent rolling back and was spitting blood.. Xu Qing instantly caught up and kneed the clone with all his strength.

The sound of bones and flesh collapsing rang out as half of the clone’s body exploded.

Xu Qing spat out a mouthful of black fiendish fire, forming a sea of fire that enveloped another clone of the three fires sea corpse cultivator.

When a mournful cry spread from the sea of fire, the third clone had already approached. This clone’s eyes were filled with madness. The moment it got close, its body instantly rotted on its own.

After it melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, it condensed into a black nail that flew toward Xu Qing’s head.

“Interesting.”

A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. The three fires old man had many methods, especially this black nail. The trace of soul suppressing power from it caused Xu Qing to feel a little surprised. He immediately lifted his right hand and grabbed the nail.

The nail struggled intensely, but it was useless.

The void in the distance distorted and the true body of the three fires cultivator was revealed. He immediately turned to escape. However, the instant he retreated, his body suddenly paused.

At the next moment, his eyes revealed horror but a sinister laugh came from his mouth. He quickly ran a few steps and arrived in front of Xu Qing. He knelt on one knee and handed over his storage bag. After that, he broke his neck.

Popping sounds echoed from his body. Seeing that the magic apertures were exploding, Xu Qing spread the fiendish fire over the old man, absorbing his soul. The Golden Crow had cleaned up the enemies and returned happily, sucking at the three fires cultivator’s blood.

The three fires cultivator’s body trembled and the fear in his eyes turned into despair. At the next instant, his soul was extracted and his body withered. The qi and blood in his entire body were refined into a drop which then entered the Golden Crow’s mouth.

The shadow also had a full meal and was satisfied.

Only the black iron stick was a little disappointed. An intense sense of danger rose in the Diamond Sect’s ancestor’s heart. No matter how he looked at it, he felt like he had become a little redundant.

‘This can’t go on!!’

The Diamond Sect’s ancestor felt that if this continued, he would definitely not be able to escape the fate of becoming cannon fodder. He sensed the spirit liquid of the blood pool he had stored and decided to find a time to continue breaking through after they escaped.

Both the shadow and the Golden Crow were gradually becoming stronger. That was the manifestation of the spirit liquid on their bodies. For example, the shadow could actually devour the shadow of a three fires cultivator now.

The Golden Crow’s abilities had clearly become even stronger. The enhancement it provided to Xu Qing’s body was also continuing to increase.

“This trip was worth it!” Xu Qing took a deep breath and headed straight for the exit of the forbidden area. As he sped, he thought of the captain and sighed.

“To be chased by a Golden Core cultivator, the captain is indeed a ferocious person…” Xu Qing sighed. The danger was huge this time, but the captain had attracted most of the hatred. Otherwise, he felt that there would definitely be more people chasing after him now.

He used all his strength to rush toward the exit. Just as he was about to reach the exit, Xu Qing’s pupils contracted. Without waiting for instructions, the Diamond Sect’s ancestor entered the exit vortex to check out the situation first.

The shadow had clearly recovered a lot of its intelligence and also spread out.

A look of admiration appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. Seeing the Diamond Sect’s ancestor and shadow rushing out, he also mentally prepared himself. The cultivation base in his body was fully brewing at this moment.

At the next instant, after sensing the situation outside through the shadow, Xu Qing was stunned. A hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes. A few breaths later, he gritted his teeth fiercely and stepped into the exit.
