Chapter 1953
"This came about as a result of the old G.o.ds" blood. It"s called the Divine Ancient Ring, and not even I know what it"s supposed to be for," Qingyu said.
"Divine Ancient Ring? Is it your tenth bane-ring? Does it contain a totem?" Shuo Yue asked excitedly.
It was clear that it didn"t contain a totem, otherwise a tenth infinite lunar G.o.ddess would have appeared. Qingyu shook her head. Her transformation had finally been completed, and the benefits the old G.o.ds" blood brought her weren"t a sudden boost in power, but rather new talent and potential from her enhanced bloodline. She landed back on the ground and looked at the mirror-like tenth ring.
"It"s also called a Divine Mirror Ring." The mirror of the G.o.ds seemed to be the true core of the benefits of the old G.o.ds" blood. That was something that even historical records concerning old G.o.ds" blood didn"t state. Qingyu and Shuo Yue were quite curious as to what it could do.
"Let me give it a try." Qingyu"s body glowed with a gentle moonlight in the darkness. As she raised her left hand, the mirror-like ring began s.h.i.+ning. Then, she seemed to figure something out and she pointed the light toward Shuo Yue.
"Huh?" It looked around, antic.i.p.ating a reaction but feeling none. However, Qingyu seemed to have expected that. Then she turned the light of the Divine Mirror Ring toward her totems. The ring began rumbling when the reflections of the totems entered the mirror, a.s.suming identical stances to the totems outside.
"Don"t tell me...." The light in her eyes glowed brighter and brighter. She felt the Divine Ancient Ring rapidly absorbing energy, but it wasn"t the nova source that was around them, nor was it totem ki or astralforce. The Divine Ancient Ring seemed to be connected to a completely different realm and was absorbing its energy, filling its reserves without sapping anything from her! It didn"t even take much time for it to completely fill up.
After that, the reflections of the totems emerged from the mirror and faced the existing totems outside! The reflections seemed to have been projected out into reality, making a total of eighteen totems!
"What in the...." Both Qingyu and Shuo Yue were baffled at the sight of the eighteen infinite lunar G.o.ddesses. Did the Divine Mirror Ring really double the number of her totems?
Qingyu soon noticed the difference. The reflected totems couldn"t be directly controlled by her like she would her normal totems. Instead, they merely mirrored the moves of their original counterparts. Apart from using a different energy source, they shared mostly identical properties to the normal totems.
Normally, totems used astralforce to generate totem ki, but the energy the reflections used was similar to nova source that was supplied from the Divine Mirror Ring, which could quickly be gathered and just as quickly used. While Qingyu wasn"t attacking, the reflections still disappeared in short order. In other words, they weren"t totems in the truest sense of the word.
"Even so, being able to exert the power equivalent to eighteen totems in an instant still makes for an impressive trump card and finis.h.i.+ng move." Shuo Yue and she both understood how it changed things. It wasn"t that Qingyu now had eighteen bane-rings, not that the actual number mattered that much in combat. Having eight versus nine totems usually wouldn"t make that much of a difference. Instead, the true determiner of talent and potential lay in the type of the bane-rings as well as an apt.i.tude for cultivation.
Qingyu"s Divine Ancient Ring afforded her benefits separate from cultivation talent, and that was something n.o.body would ever expect. The moment she used it to borrow an additional nine totems" worth of force for her attacks, her enemies would definitely be caught off guard.
Whatever the case, she didn"t have much time to study her new ability as she was still in the enemy"s lair. She had just rejuvenated herself and Tianming was still fighting for his life, while Lingfeng was scrambling over to save her. She had only been lucky enough to save herself without relying on anyone else.
"Shuo Yue!" Qingyu didn"t even have time to look at her restored appearance. "Yu Ziqian!" she cried out at him, but he still seemed to be in a dazed state. Once the voidheart worm"s soul was dead, the powder bugs it left inside Yu Ziqian"s body had also perished, though many of their corpses still remained inside him. Yu Ziqian was actually still alive despite the severe wounds and it would probably take him quite a while to recover.
Shuo Yue flew into the sky and spat out a white ball that enveloped Yu Ziqian before swallowing it again to protect him inside its stomach. Qingyu knew that the Ultimate Pill G.o.d was still around, but that was a debt to be settled if they could escape Skywolf Frost in one piece. Ahead of her was an endless abyss filled with black webs that still swung around to attack them.
"Feng"s still looking for me...." It had been quite a long time, so she was worried about him.
"Go there!" Yin Chen guided her toward the escape route. She mounted Shuo Yue and ascended the abyss.
Yin Chen had told Tianming and Lingfeng that she’d freed herself and killed the voidheart worm for good, as well as her having overcome the tribulation of the old G.o.ds" blood. That was incredibly good news for both of them—Lingfeng especially. No matter how powerful he was now, he still wasn"t able to wipe out the staggering number of enemies swarming him. He had been desperately trying to save her, but that no longer seemed necessary, much to his relief.
That was also one of the main motivations for Qingyu to try her best. She didn"t want to remain helpless and require help all the time. She wanted to stand beside him, instead. Like their relations.h.i.+p, it was a mutual effort.
Up in the sky, a Transcendent Truefiend slaughtered away in a storm of darkness, while down in the abyss, Qingyu fought for her own freedom. There was nothing in her eyes but the demon in the sky above. Like a moth flying toward a flame, she charged forward without any regrets!

Shou Yue flapped its wings and threaded through the maze of webs. This deathly ordeal had caused them to surpa.s.s their old selves. While Lingfeng had properly stepped on the path to fiendhood, Qingyu had become an ancient lunar divinity. While fiends and G.o.ds should be the ant.i.thesis of each other, each of these two saw the other as more precious than themselves, willing to burn away their own lives for the other’s sake.
