Chapter 1281 One More Whipping and I’ll Die
The blood light illuminated the sky, causing the sky to turn red. The bloodstains spread rapidly and instantly covered the void like a red curtain.
It was the same for the ground. It was like a blood purgatory and the source of all this was the blood sphere compressed by Xu Qing.
The instability within revealed violence and terror. It also contained the intent to destroy everything.
All the Flame Moon cultivators who saw this scene retreated rapidly. Their hearts raced and they even felt as though they were about to lose control of the blood in their bodies.
Fan Shishuang"s pupils contracted. The fight between Xu Qing and Ji Dongzi was absolutely one-sided. Regardless of whether it was the breaking of the fingers or the reverse control of blood, everything made him clearly realize that he… was definitely not a match.
"He didn"t even use any divine abilities…"
When Fan Shishuang thought of this, he retreated even faster.
As for the person involved in all of this, Ji Dongzi"s expression changed drastically. He understood his divine ability and its might, so he instantly sensed that the lethality of the incoming blood sphere was greater than before.
In fact, the world was like a cage at this moment. The redness that enveloped the surroundings made him feel that he would be unable to dodge or resist it.
Seeing that he was in danger, at this moment of life and death, Ji Dongzi"s many years of combat experience and instincts caused him to not hesitate at all. He opened his mouth and spat out at the approaching blood sphere.
Immediately, a golden light flew out of his mouth and headed straight for the blood sphere.
At the same time, Ji Dongzi made use of this time to disintegrate himself. In an instant, he transformed into countless blood figures that shot in all directions.
As for the golden light he spat out, it became dazzling, forming a piercing light.
At the core of the light was a ring.
The ring was crafted from golden bones, with little flesh remaining, as if it had been shaved off, leaving only a face.
This face, now filled with terror, emitted cries of agony.
"Master, it"s me, Little Fish, one of your people… Master, I miss you so much. It"s all that d.a.m.n Ji Dongzi"s fault…"
This ring was none other than the G.o.d"s finger that had been captured alive by Ji Dongzi after It broke out of his seal on D132.
After that, It was cruelly refined by Ji Dongzi, turning into such a ring treasure. Now, It was taken out to stop the blood sphere.
Perhaps it was because Xu Qing was nostalgic, or maybe it was because the words of the G.o.d"s finger moved him, at the next instant, although the blood sphere still came into contact with the ring and pa.s.sed through it, it didn"t cause any damage to it at all.
In fact, the instant the blood sphere touched the ring, the imprint of Ji Dongzi on the ring was destroyed.
After experiencing a near-death experience, the G.o.d"s finger trembled as It quickly moved closer to Xu Qing. It wanted to say something but at the next instant, the figure of the Diamond Sect"s ancestor appeared in front of It.
"Halt!"
The Diamond Sect"s ancestor spoke calmly and condescendingly. He felt that this was the highlight of his life. After all, to be able to shout this to a G.o.d wasn"t something any artifact spirit could do.
Although the G.o.d"s finger was upset, It didn"t dare to act rashly at this moment. It could only reveal a fawning expression.
Xu Qing didn"t care about their exchange. His gaze landed on the sky.
After being delayed by the G.o.d"s finger, the blood figures that Ji Dongzi had separated into had already scattered in all directions. More than half of them had fled to the horizon but they didn"t rush out of the blood curtain. Instead, at the end, they each transformed into Ji Dongzi"s figures.
There were thousands of them, and they were all Ji Dongzi.
Every Ji Dongzi had a solemn expression and the killing intent in their eyes contained madness. They stared fixedly at Xu Qing from all directions and spoke at the same time, emitting a voice that was like the sound of the Dao.
"Sacrifice!"
"Sacrifice!"
"Sacrifice!"
These were the secret repositories Ji Dongzi had formed when he was at the Spirit Repository Realm.
Although his cultivation base was at the Nihility Realm now, these five secret repositories were still the foundation that supported his Nihility. Right now, he was clearly forced to the limit, so he didn"t hesitate to use them.
This word echoed through the world. As the void rumbled, five blood-red secret repositories appeared in the sky. They were like five huge volcanoes that emitted rumbling sounds.
These were the secret repositories Ji Dongzi had formed when he was at the Spirit Repository Realm.
Although his cultivation base was at the Nihility Realm now, these five secret repositories were still the foundation that supported his Nihility. Right now, he was clearly forced to the limit, so he didn"t hesitate to use them.
As the word "sacrifice" echoed, the roar of the Heavenly Dao soared into the sky from the five huge blood-red secret repositories. Five figures rose out of the secret repositories.
One was a blood demon with eight arms, another was a crimson-scaled Taotie and a blood-colored eyeball emitting a crimson light.
These were the Heavenly Daos that Ji Dongzi had refined and subdued when he was at the Spirit Repository Realm.
After they appeared, they didn"t get close to Xu Qing. Instead, amidst their respective roars, they decisively rose into the air and broke through the blood curtain, arriving at the end of the sky before smashing fiercely.
The entire sky trembled, forming a vortex that churned in all directions. The hidden blood-red lightning appeared again and swam inside with an astonishing aura.
In the center of the vortex, a scene appeared.
In the scene, it was a land of nothingness. Inside was a huge Kun Peng that was bound by countless iron chains!
Dense Heavenly Dao aura emitted from its body.
It was the Immemorial Heavenly Dao of the w.a.n.ggu Continent that had been captured by the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race!
Countless iron chains surrounded its body, and every one of them pierced deeply into its body, locking it up. There was also a huge whip that waved in the air and kept whipping its body.
It was badly mangled.
The whip was filled with many dao marks and they were all shining. With every strike of the whip, the sound of thunder rang out. There were also wails from the Immemorial Heavenly Dao that landed in the world.
This voice contained endless pain and an indescribable desire to die. It echoed in the human world, forming a sound that surpa.s.sed the rules and laws, and stopped Xu Qing"s blood sphere in the air.
This wasn"t the first time Xu Qing had seen this Immemorial Heavenly Dao. However, it was different from what he had experienced back then. This time, Ji Dongzi didn"t just borrow the voice of the Heavenly Dao to form a suppression.
He was… offering his Heavenly Dao!
In the blink of an eye, his five Heavenly Daos headed straight for the void. There, they actually disintegrated on their own and fused into the whip, causing the whip to have five more marks and its might to increase a little.
This disintegration was irreversible. It meant that Ji Dongzi would lose the five Heavenly Daos forever. This would have a huge impact on his cultivation. If he wanted to recover, he would have to pay an astonishing price.
This was also the reason why he didn"t display this move in his battle with Xu Qing before.
Such sacrifice naturally exchanged for astonishing might. In an instant, one of the iron chains that bound the Immemorial Heavenly Dao loosened and rapidly hung down through the gap in the sky. With a whooshing sound, it landed in the world, in the world of ghost carriage dark forest.
It rapidly whipped toward Xu Qing with a rule that couldn"t be resisted or dodged.
There was a loud explosion.
Xu Qing"s entire body trembled. The iron chain directly lashed out at his body, causing him to retreat by 10,000 feet.
The power inside transformed into countless red lightning bolts that swam through his entire body. The Jiuli"s magus armor shook intensely as it blocked the red lightning with all its might. The nine heads manifested and roared, revealing traces of shattering.
Xu Qing"s soul swayed and shock appeared in his eyes. However, in the depths of this appearance, there was a hint of surprise.
He could sense how terrifying the might of this iron chain was. It was the magus armor that withstood everything for him.
After the Jiuli Magus Armor withstood all of this, it looked like it was about to shatter. However, in reality, Xu Qing could clearly sense that the Jiuli Magus Armor was showing signs of fusing in advance.
It was as though there was a trace of the origin of the Ancestral Magus in this chain that had fused into it with the help of this lash.
From Xu Qing"s previous judgment, the nine heads of Jiuli weren"t in the true form of the Ancestral Magus. He needed to break through to Nihility before he could fuse the nine heads and display the true form of the Ancestral Magus.
"That iron chain that bound the Immemorial Heavenly Dao actually has such an effect…"
Xu Qing was tempted. He looked at the void where the Heavenly Dao was bound and a guess suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Back then, the G.o.d Killing Array…"
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and didn"t continue his thoughts.
Noticing that the drooping iron chain was about to disappear after whipping him, he immediately bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.
His body shook, causing his G.o.d form to show signs of collapse, looking like he was barely able to withstand the whipping and wouldn"t be able to withstand it the second time.
Due to the lack of information, Ji Dongzi would never have guessed the effect of the iron chain on Jiuli. Hence, after seeing Xu Qing"s appearance, he was caught in a dilemma. The faces of every figure revealed madness.
"Sacrifice!!"
This time, he sacrificed his life force.
At the next instant, all of Ji Dongzi"s bodies rapidly withered. From his original youth appearance, he directly transformed into an old man. In fact, most of the figures in the sky turned into ashes.
After such dense vitality rushed into the void, it was finally exchanged for a second iron chain.
In that instant, the second iron chain descended, stirring up monstrous force as it lashed out fiercely at Xu Qing, who looked like he couldn"t withstand a single blow.
Boom!
Xu Qing spat out three mouthfuls of blood and his G.o.d form directly collapsed. His body was badly mangled and even some of the bones in his body were revealed. As for his Jiuli Magus Armor, most of it shattered and barely hung on his body.
He looked as though he would die if he was struck the third time.
He fled into the distance with all his might.
At the same time, he emitted a sense of danger, as though he still had a trump card.
This caused the cautious Ji Dongzi to not dare to get close. However, at this point of the battle, he had sacrificed too much. If he didn"t completely kill Xu Qing, there would be endless trouble in the future.
Hence, Ji Dongzi gritted his teeth fiercely. He only had one life and wasn"t willing to take the risk. However, as long as he survived, he could obtain the life force and the Heavenly Dao again.
Hence, his gaze was filled with determination as he spoke again.
"Sacrifice!"
This time, what he sacrificed was his cultivation base!
Nihility cultivation base erupted from his body at this instant. All the Daos he had refined and all the rules he had comprehended transformed into meteors that headed straight for the Immemorial Heavenly Dao.
After they disintegrated there, the third iron chain descended like he wished.
"Die!"
Ji Dongzi let out a hoa.r.s.e shout. The iron chain howled and lashed Xu Qing"s body.
Before the whipping, Xu Qing looked like he was heavily injured. After the whipping, he spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood, more bones were exposed, and the magus armor cracked more.
However, he was still in the heavily injured state. He looked like he would die if he took on the fourth whip.
Ji Dongzi trembled and his expression revealed grief and indignation. He didn"t know why Xu Qing wasn"t dead… However, at this moment, even though he didn"t know the reason, he still made some guesses.
Hence, his remaining figures fused into one. After that, he suppressed the emotions in his heart and fled into the distance.
The instant he left, Xu Qing, who looked extremely miserable, lifted his head and frowned.
With the help of Ji Dongzi, he had successfully fused half of the Jiuli"s heads. He was still half a step away from completely merging it and revealing the form of the Ancestral Magus.
However, the other party actually stopped whipping.
"Trash."
Xu Qing"s gaze was cold. All the injuries on his body instantly recovered. His aura was even more terrifying than before because half of the Jiuli had fused. He then walked toward Ji Dongzi.
"Then, I"ll settle the remaining half by suppressing you."
After Ji Dongzi, who was in the distance, sensed all of this, the various emotions in his heart erupted and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
