Legend of Swordsman

Jian Wushuang also reacted, breaking Hu Qing’s sealed spacetime with a single hand and questioning, “Hu Qing, what are you doing?”

Although he had initially thought of using Ye Lingxiao to enhance his own divine power, he had never intended to harm her!

He had always pursued a win-win situation.

Why had Hu Qing turned into a killer?

This wasn’t Hu Qing’s character.

Having known Hu Qing for so many years, he couldn’t believe Hu Qing would do such a thing. But the facts were right in front of him; what could he do but question him?

They hadn’t returned to Qishen Temple yet, and he didn’t want to cause any discord midway.

“Brother Wushuang, I will give you an explanation, but not now!” Hu Qing, holding the blood-colored Origin Source, handed Ye Lingxiao’s corpse to Jian Wushuang. Then, he formed seals with his hands and began preparing to seal Xilu.

Holding the cold corpse, Jian Wushuang sighed and glanced at the monster. He was sure it was the one that had escaped from him.

Xilu, too, noticed Jian Wushuang. His eyes were filled with complexity, and he turned to look at the blood-colored Origin Source in Hu Qing’s hand, his greed evident.

If he could devour this Origin Source, he might reach the peak of the first stage.

Hu Qing formed seals and glanced at the still-present Ye Xiaowang. With a casual wave, he forcibly extracted the treasure from Ye Xiaowang’s body.

A blood-colored crystal.

It closely resembled the one atop the pyramid.

Seeing all this, Jian Wushuang seemed to understand. He brought Ye Lingxiao’s corpse to Wanyan’s side.

“Wanyan, don’t worry. As long as her soul hasn’t returned to the River of Time, I can help you revive her!” Wu Zuo comforted from the side.

As long as there was a soul, he could ask the Realm King for help. The Realm King could assist in Ye Lingxiao’s reincarnation.

But her memories might be lost.

Jian Wushuang didn’t know how to comfort him, so he just patted his shoulder.

Everything depended on Hu Qing’s explanation.

He had no other way.

Meanwhile, Hu Qing confronted Xilu, who was seriously injured. Jian Wushuang was curious.

Why were these two fighting? Logically, they shouldn’t have any conflict!

Everyone else was also very surprised.

At this moment, a phantom descended from above.

Dressed in dark green, with antennae on his forehead, it was the projection of the Realm King.

Seeing the Realm King appear, Jian Wushuang reacted immediately.

Pulling Wu Zuo along, he hurried forward.

“Greetings, Realm King!” Jian Wushuang cupped his hands in salute.

Wuzuo, now acting more respectfully, exchanged pleasantries before bringing up Ye Lingxiao’s reincarnation.

Realm King smiled faintly and pressed his palm down, “Rest assured, I have already prepared a new Origin Source and body for her. She has successfully reincarnated!”

The reason for the delay was because he went to guide Ye Lingxiao’s soul to reincarnate.

And upon birth, she would be an Emperor.

She possessed the Ultimate Origin Source.

For Realm King, this was not difficult.

Upon hearing this, Wanyan hurried forward, gratitude evident in his eyes.

If he had known that Ye Lingxiao’s death was orchestrated by Realm King, he might not have felt this way.

In truth, everything behind the scenes was Realm King’s plan.

Ye Lingxiao’s appearance by Wanyan’s side was also his doing.

“Alright, once Hu Qing seals Xilu, let him explain to you!” Realm King’s expression was indifferent, but he was thinking that after Hu Qing sealed Xilu, he would take Xilu directly back to the Realm God Continent.

He would leave the remaining explanations to Hu Qing.

He couldn’t be both the good guy and the bad guy.

The honest Hu Qing would take on everything.

Only then did everyone carefully look at Hu Qing and Xilu.

Wu Zuo exclaimed, “Hu Qing, how did you become so strong?”

Exceeding 15 million divine power, overwhelming everything.

Far stronger than Divine Wood King.

Currently the number one in Ancient Moon Spacetime.

Only slightly weaker than those Eternal Beings.

“This power, it’s somewhat strange?” Jian Wushuang noticed through Hu Qing’s divine power that there was something peculiar about it.

That power indeed belonged to Hu Qing, yet it wasn’t exactly Hu Qing’s current power.

19 million divine power—this level of battle strength was something only Chi Jiuxiao had achieved before.

Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but marvel.

He had thought his own abilities were already extraordinary, but it turned out Hu Qing’s strength was just as formidable.

Seeing their astonishment, Realm King explained, “This is Hu Qing’s secret technique. His true self isn’t this powerful, but he possesses the battle strength of the peak of the Eighth Tribulation!”

“Secret technique?” Jian Wushuang was moved, “What kind of secret technique is this powerful!”

At the peak of the Eighth Tribulation, having 12 million divine power was impressive.

The limit was 15 million divine power, but achieving that was extremely difficult.

How long had Hu Qing been cultivating?

“Future Self!” Realm King clasped his hands behind his back, a look of pride on his face. “With my guidance and the power left behind by that Celestial Maiden, Hu Qing created the ultimate secret technique of the Heavenly Dao, the Future Self, which allows him to harness future divine power!”

In other words, Hu Qing in the future could reach this level.

Jian Wushuang quickly grasped the key point and sighed, “To overdraw future power, there must be backlash, right?”

“Yes, there is indeed backlash, but his Heavenly Dao has been cultivated to perfection. Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era. If it were in the past, I might have had to relinquish my position as Realm King!” The Realm King couldn’t help but lament.

Jian Wushuang was not too surprised. Hu Qing had always had a profound understanding of Zen, and the end of that path was the Heavenly Dao.

This also made him think of that eyeball.

The eyeball transformed from the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard.

The Spacetime Dao within the chessboard turned into the Tribulation Armor.

The eyeball was the essence of the chessboard.

With such reliance, he felt at ease handing the eyeball to Hu Qing.

Hu Qing had the strength to wield this supreme treasure.

Although this supreme treasure was left by Teacher Xuan Yi, it was indeed not suitable for him.

He could only give it to Hu Qing to use.

Now, Hu Qing had the strength.

Future Self!

Clad in white robes, unstained by dust, his divine power could shake the entire Ancient Moon Spacetime.

Hu Qing formed a seal with one hand and held a blood-colored crystal with the other.

Although Ye Xiaowang was unwilling, he dared not step forward.

Compared to handing the treasure to Xilu, he trusted Hu Qing more.

Because there was no murderous intent on Hu Qing.

Even though Ye Lingxiao had died at Hu Qing’s hands, he still believed Hu Qing would not harm him.

The key was that facing such a powerful Eighth Tribulation Universe Master, if he wanted him dead, it wouldn’t take more than a breath to finish him off.

Hu Qing really didn’t care about him.

As the seal and the blood-colored crystal merged, combined with the blood-colored Origin Source, Hu Qing whispered, “Demon Sealing Wave!”

Buzz!

The surrounding spacetime was instantly shattered.

The originally intact Primordial Black Heaven was no longer whole.

In the void, there was a patch of paleness.

The twisted spacetime turned into a tornado, rushing towards Xilu.

Trying to seal him.

This was the sealing method taught by Realm King, and it was the only way to seal and send Xilu away.
