Chapter 461: Godly Power of Infinite Resurrection!
Chapter 461: Godly Power of Infinite Resurrection!
After initially being stunned, Xu Qing’s expression turned somber. Something strange was definitely going on. The reason he had been going all out a moment ago was that the uneasy feeling from the bluegreen dragon had only been getting more intense, to the point where he felt like his heart was full of trepidation.
He just didn’t believe that he could resolve such a deadly situation so quickly. Waving his right hand, he sent all the poison in the area toward Chu Tianqun’s corpse. It gathered around both the head and the body, which began to rot. After barely more than ten breaths of time passed, they became a black sludge that soaked the sand beneath it.
However, the sealing in the dome of heaven was still there. What was more, his feeling of unease also remained. Expression unsightly, he flew straight up into the sky and unleashed a powerful attack, hoping that he might be able to just break free. Just as he unleashed the attack, a sense of deadly crisis erupted in his heart.
Swiveling, he looked back down at the ground.
Golden light shone brightly in the area where Chu Tianqun had died. It rippled and distorted, seemingly changing the magical laws in the area. Apparently it was influencing time itself, as something unbelievable was happening.
It was as if time… was flowing in reverse!
As Xu Qing watched, the black sludge seeped out of the sand and formed Chu Tianqun’s head and body. Then, the head flipped back up onto the neck. All of the wounds Chu Tianqun had sustained vanished. His eyes opened, and he looked grimly at Xu Qing up in the sky.
“I underestimated you,” he said in a raspy voice, golden light swirling around him. “I never would have guessed that you also have god power….”
Chu Tianqun rolled his shoulders and took a step forward. At the same time, his cultivation base power surged. This time, it wasn’t in the early Nascent Soul stage. It went directly to mid Nascent Soul.
Although that was an increase in one section of a larger realm, Xu Qing knew that after Foundation Establishment, every such upgrade created a massive difference. Usually, someone in a higher level could easily kill someone a single level below them. The sensation of deadly crisis continued to bubble within him. He knew he had to be wary of this power of resurrection. It was not some ordinary magical technique or divine ability. Nor was it a magical technique that could substitute for someone in death. Xu Qing got the sense… that this really did contain the power of a god!
“This experimental god body of mine is different from the other ones,” Chu Tianqun said coolly. “And it’s even more different from Yun’er’s. My godly power is that of resurrection. Infinite resurrection.” 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝓶
The truth was that if Chu Tianqun hadn’t run into the great bird Qingqin, who had miraculously injured him, then his cultivation base would have been immeasurably close to peak Nascent Soul. Qingqin was an ancient mutant beast that possessed godliness. In other words, he was a high-level godly entity. His life force god light couldn’t interrupt Chu Tianqun’s godly resurrection, but the injuries inflicted had forced his cultivation base to a lower level. And the effects lingered even after he resurrected. The recovery process was slow, and the effect on his cultivation base was massive. That was why he normally revealed an early Nascent Soul cultivation base.
Looking at Xu Qing, he narrowed his eyes. “I was kind enough to explain some things to you. Now… why don’t you tell me what your god power is?”
Xu Qing didn’t reply. Eyes glittering with killing intent, he tapped into the fleshly body power provided by the Shadow Fusion Secret Magic to shoot with incredible speed toward Chu Tianqun.
He arrived in an instant.
However, Chu Tianqun was also a lot faster than before. In one movement, he was 300 meters away, his expression calm as he lifted his right hand, then pushed it toward the ground.
“Yun’er used some sword moves on you,” he said coolly. “But they weren’t complete, thanks to his low cultivation base. Since we have plenty of time on our hands, allow me to show you a secret magic of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect… it’s the Twelve Swords of Heaven and Earth!”
The sand below him for 3,000 meters in all directions rose and fell, and the ground trembled, as if subterranean dragons were stirring beneath. It almost looked like it was a sea with waves rolling across it. As the fluctuations grew more intense, the sand floated into the air, blotting out the evening sun and making it seem like night had fallen.
Then, a host of enormous swords appeared around Chu Tianqun. There were twelve in all. Each sword was fully 3,000 meters long, and emanated terrifying power. They caused the air to vibrate and crack, and the sword energy that pulsed out had killing intent that made the burning desert seem icy cold.
Then the swords slashed toward Xu Qing.
Xu Qing struggled to control his breathing. Those twelve swords surpassed anything he had faced when dealing with Master Shengyun. It wasn’t just the might they exuded. They were different on a substructural level. However, there was no time to think about it right now. Just as he was preparing to dodge, the twelve enormous swords shifted directions, closing off all avenues of escape. They slashed into him, causing blood to ooze out of the corners of his mouth. Dazzling light glittered atop his head, creating a protective barrier in all directions. That was the Supreme-Limitless Crown. Then, the hellspirit bloodwing lamp boosted his speed, causing a single wing to appear on his back.
With his current fleshly body power and the boost to speed, he could pierce through the air in what was almost a teleportation. As he dodged out of the way, he launched a fist strike that hit one of the swords. Backed with the fleshly body power of ten heavenly palaces, he was capable of devastating power. This secret magic backed by a Nascent Soul cultivator was extraordinary, but when hit by Xu Qing’s fist, it cracked.
There were few things in existence that had fleshly body power like that.
Chu Tianqun’s eyes shone with cold light as he extended his right index finger.
“Wind!”
Before Xu Qing could proceed to destroy the twelve swords, they collapsed on their own, turning into innumerable grains of sand that swirled around Xu Qing in the form of a tempest. From a distance, that tempest actually resembled a sword in shape. It swirled around with astonishing speed, slashing and cutting, all while slowly shrinking around Xu Qing. Numerous small wounds opened up on Xu Qing, like tiny cuts from blades. Seeing the danger, Xu Qing shot straight up. The wing on his back flapped, giving him a boost of shocking speed that got him out of the tempest. The countless grains of sand pursued him, but they weren’t quite as fast.
Chu Tianqun frowned, then thrust his right arm to the side.
“Assimilate!”
The moment the words left his mouth, the grains of sand spread out in all directions, filling a 3,000-meter area over Xu Qing. There, they formed into a giant bottle gourd made from swords!
As for Xu Qing, he was inside the bottle gourd.
The power of assimilation erupted inside the gourd. Flames burst out, covering Xu Qing. But then, the cry of a golden crow rang out, reaching to the highest heaven. The image of the golden crow appeared, growing larger and larger. 300 meters. 1,500 meters. 3,000 meters. 9,000 meters…. Eventually it reached 15,000 meters.
It seemed to overshadow everything else. And as the golden crow grew, Xu Qing appeared atop it, still using the Shadow Fusion Secret Magic.
He was covered in blood, and his eyes radiated killing intent. He looked like a killing machine, and when he burst into action, the golden crow cried out, causing a 3,000-meter sea of flames to spread out as it dove toward Chu Tianqun from above. Taboo poison power erupted, along with intense mutagen. At the same time, the shadow also rose up, and Patriarch Golden Vajra Warrior came in with the iron skewer. The Emperor’s Sword appeared in the golden crow’s mouth as it shot toward Chu Tianqun.
A rumbling like heavenly thunder echoed out everywhere. The ground shook, and the sky changed color as a golden beam of light appeared around Chu Tianqun. It expanded rapidly, becoming a covering that surrounded Chu Tianqun protectively.
Meanwhile, Xu Qing shivered, coughed up blood, and kept backing up.
The golden crow howled in anguish. Patriarch Golden Vajra Warrior nearly collapsed into pieces, and the shadow grew dim. The Emperor’s Sword also faded. However, at the same time, that golden covering surrounding Chu Tianqun trembled, and cracking sounds rang out as it began to break up.
Taboo poison power covered everything, and Xu Qing made sure that it seeped in through those cracks. Chu Tianqun frowned as his body again started to rot. He had godliness, as well as god power, which meant that though he was difficult to injure with poison, he wasn’t impervious to it!
“This is the same type of god curse that you infected Yun’er with…. Now that I’ve personally felt it, I can tell how terrifying it is! Sadly for you, you don’t have perfect control of it. You can only use its external shell of power. Therefore, the methods I’ve prepared to deal with it are sufficient!” Chu Tianqun stared at Xu Qing as the golden light around him collapsed. Then he performed an incantation gesture and pointed up with his right index and middle finger.
“Calamity!”
The air above him distorted as nine vortexes appeared. As they spun, black coffins emerged from all of them. 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝓻𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Nine coffins dropped from above and slammed into the ground.
There, they split open to reveal nine zombies. All of them looked mangled in some way, but they had all died in different ways. One had been drowned, one had burned to death, one had been disemboweled, one had bled to death, and one had died after their blood vessels all exploded…. All had died grisly deaths of torment. And if you looked closely at their faces, it became obvious that they were all Chu Tianqun.
Especially noteworthy was the fact that all nine of the grisly zombies were surrounded by countless souls. They howled in grief, their voices spreading out everywhere. They were the souls of men and women, young and old. They came from nine small human nations that Chu Tianqun had exterminated. Then he assimilated their souls and put them into nine ‘calamity zombies.’
The nine zombies slowly looked at Chu Tianqun, then inhaled, causing the taboo poison in him to sweep out and into them.
“I nourished these zombies with the blood of countless of your fellow humans. I filled them with innumerable souls of your fellow humans. Coupled with a prayer to my god, they can share the calamity of an external god curse. Xu Qing, you have no idea the extent to which I prepared to kill you.”
Chu Tianqun looked at Xu Qing as he performed an incantation gesture with his right hand and pointed up with two fingers. At the same time he performed an incantation gesture with his left hand and pointed down. Finally, he pushed both hands in Xu Qing’s direction.
“Attack!”
The nine calamity zombies turned to look at Xu Qing, then became nine blurs that raced toward him!
