Chapter 756B - New Saint Son
Hum –
The pale blue flower gently trembled. A faint halo of light spread outwards, forming visible ripples that fell on the Western Tomb Divine Seat.
The giant bone dragon sneered coldly. The soul flames in its eyes contracted to two pinpoints that locked onto the Divine Seat.
Hou –
The lava giant roared out loud. Its body collapsed, turning into a stream of flowing lava. The souls within it screamed miserably as they rushed at the Divine Seat.
The three most terrifying existences sealed within the h.e.l.l Mystic Realm had simultaneously attacked the Western Tomb Divine Seat. With the Western Tomb’s great array formation destroyed and unable to be restored for the time being, their strength was no longer suppressed.
Moreover, the Western Tomb Divine Seat had used the G.o.dfall Art, Great Light Sword, and Lance of Ruling once after another. He was no longer in his peak condition.
Do Ermo smiled. His eyes filled with a burning heat as he looked at the giant skull of the former master. He muttered below his breath, “I follow your will and shall inherit the power you left behind, becoming your representative in this world…”
The lava giant, bone dragon, and resurrection lily had all attacked together. Ji Xiangtian would undoubtedly die and no one could stop him anymore.
Do Ermo stepped toward the giant skull. His eyes were reverent and filled with wors.h.i.+p. He bowed deeply and fell to his knees, “Please grant me your strength!”
Behind him, the slaughter between the Divine Seat and the three ancient beings had erupted. With the Divine Seat Vestments protecting him, while he was at an absolute disadvantage he still couldn’t be easily killed.
Ji Xiangtian lifted a hand and pressed it between his eyebrows. A cracking sound came from within his body. Then, the white holy light that flowed across his body began to burn like flames.
On the surface of the Divine Seat Vestments, the star-like spots each erupted within infinite light, as if a sun was descending upon the world.
The pale blue halo of light that wrapped around him rapidly evaporated and disappeared.
The lava that flowed beneath him quickly hardened beneath this light. Then, it shattered and started to break apart.
The bone dragon roared in pain. Billowing black fog gushed out, covering its ma.s.sive body. When the black fog came into contact with the light, a vicious corrosive sizzling sound filled the air.
In an instant, three ancient beings were suppressed. The Western Tomb Divine Seat was known as the person in this world closest to being a True Divinity. He always had hidden cards in his possession that others could not fathom.
He fell to his knees and began to chant, “You are Eternal, You are Extinction, You are Everything, You are One!”
The skies broke apart and a phantom appeared. As it stood upon the world, heavenly bodies floated behind it. Its blurry face seemed to contain all the dignity and n.o.bility within the world.
The projection of the Dao Monarch had appeared once again. Compared to Do Ermo’s summoning, this one was even more condensed into reality, and its aura was even greater, as limitless as the stars in the skies.
He lifted a hand and pointed at the silent giant skull on the ground.
Hou –
A great roar rang out. It seemed to cross through endless time and s.p.a.ce to arrive here, and even then it carried with it a terrifying aura that could suppress the heavens.
At this moment, the three ancient beings that had been sealed away all sobbed and s.h.i.+vered in unison.
In particular, the giant bone dragon. Its body crashed into the ground as it s.h.i.+vered. Black tears started to flow from its eye sockets that beat with soul flames.
Because this aura came from its master, the only supreme ruler in the world!
The Dao Monarch’s projection stepped forwards, fusing directly into the skull. The white light that gushed out from its empty orifices began to burn.
A boundless dignity erupted. It was like a mountain that came down from the highest heavens, suppressing everyone here.
Do Ermo felt something was off. He looked up at the giant skull in front of him and a chill drilled out from his heart.
s.p.a.ce quietly shattered. A black vortex appeared. The lava giant, bone dragon, and resurrection lily cried out in pain as they were sucked inside.
Rumble rumble –
The black vortex rapidly spun around. A formidable swallowing strength covered Do Ermo. His face was deathly pale and filled with disbelief. “Impossible, this is impossible. I am the one you chose, so why would it be like this!”
No one replied to him. The boundless will arrived, and like a heaven-lifting pillar, it crashed into Do Ermo’s mind and smashed apart his consciousness. He was directly sucked into the black vortex.
His body was torn to pieces, soon vanis.h.i.+ng from sight. All that was left behind after several breaths of time was a dazzling ma.s.s of light.
In this light, one could faintly see Do Ermo’s face contorted in pain. But no matter how much he tried to struggle, he couldn’t escape his final fate.
Pa –
Do Ermo’s face shattered, vanis.h.i.+ng into the light.
The deathly pale and exhausted Divine Seat fell to his knees in wors.h.i.+p and devotion. “Your strength dominates above this world, ruling all in existence.”
He looked up at the sphere of light in the vortex. There was an excited expression on his face, as well as a bit of yearning.
Do Ermo had died. The strength he left behind would be granted to a new Saint that would continue spreading the will of the Dao Monarch.
And here, only he met the requirements for fusing with the holy light. If he obtained this holy light, perhaps his strength would break past its limits and he would reach a new boundary.
Hum –
The black vortex trembled and the sphere of light shot out. Under Ji Xiangtian’s stunned expression, it struck the statue that had been neglected by everyone this entire time and fused into it.
Then, a broad and boundless voice filled the heavens and earth. “From this day forth, you are my new Saint Son!”
Cracks appeared on the surface of the gray statue. The stone started to chip and fall off, revealing Qin Yu beneath. His black-robed figure was now covered in a halo of white light.
Within his soul s.p.a.ce, a blurry phantom appeared. As it arrived, an invisible aura swept out, suppressing everything.
Then it took a step forward and fused with Qin Yu’s soul. No dark or negative feelings appeared. Rather, it was like taking a sip of cool water in the intense summer heat. It refreshed the heart and invigorated the mind.
Pa –
Pa –
Qin Yu could clearly hear the remaining cracks in his soul, the ones still there after taking the dragon soul, being sealed up.
Bang –
A formidable soul aura erupted from within him!
The soul injuries that had plagued Qin Yu this entire time were completely healed at this moment. Moreover, his soul force broke through its limits and reached a new boundary.
This feeling was as if he was one with the world, like he could wave his hands and stir the stars.
The Ancient’s consciousness said, “I discovered that you have injuries in your body, so I decided to push things along and help you recover from them. Moreover, you now possess the status of Saint Son, so it will help your future plans.
“Of course, the most important reason is that only after becoming the Saint Son will you have the chance to inherit the strength the Dao Monarch left behind in this world.”
As for the matter of his breakthrough, the Ancient didn’t mention it at all. Perhaps in his eyes, Qin Yu’s current level of strength was too low, at a point where it wasn’t even worth his attention.
The Western Tomb Divine Seat Ji Xiangtian was dumbfounded for a long time. When he finally managed to regain his composure, he stared at Qin Yu who was wrapped up in light. The disbelief that flashed in his eyes slowly disappeared, turning into bitterness and finally unwillingness and anger.
Who would have imagined that this good fortune that should have been his had fallen into Qin Yu’s hand – someone who was completely unrelated to the Western Tomb and a ‘medium’ he had intended to kill not too long ago.
How could Ji Xiangtian accept this result?
He took a deep breath and looked deeply at Qin Yu. A cold light flashed in the Divine Seat’s eyes. In order to inherit the holy light and become the new Saint Son, one needed to possess a firm faith in the unsurpa.s.sed Dao Monarch. Only then did one have a chance of fusing with this power.
Otherwise, the holy light would be like a terrifyingly strong bomb, blowing apart the person it fused with to the point of there being nothing left!
How could this black-robed figure from the Hidden Fog Sect be a devout follower of the Dao Monarch?
It was simply a joke!
The Divine Seat calmed down. He didn’t know why the Dao Monarch’s will would choose this person, but he knew it had to be a mistake…yes, because the main body had perished, did the projection he summoned also lose its mind?
Ji Xiangtian took a deep breath and suppressed these blasphemous thoughts. His heart became firm and reverent once more, and he prepared himself to fuse with Do Ermo’s strength.
When Qin Yu’s body blew apart, he would be the only one here that met the required conditions. No matter what considerations the Dao Monarch’s will made, it could only choose him…
In the end, what is mine is mine. There was only a small delay!
But in reality, Qin Yu didn’t feel any test. The holy light submerged into his body, directly fusing with him.
And as more time pa.s.sed, the speed of the fusion became faster and faster. After his soul injuries were completely restored, it continued to push his strength to all new heights.
This clear feeling of growing stronger was unimaginably astonis.h.i.+ng. Even though Qin Yu felt nervous, he couldn’t help but immerse himself within it and hope that this process never stopped.
Three breaths of time pa.s.sed.
Ji Xiangtian’s eyes were cruel and callous. Brat, you will die!
Another three breaths of time pa.s.sed.
Ji Xiangtian’s eyes were still merciless. Brat, you will die!
Another three breaths of time pa.s.sed.
Ji Xiangtian’s eyes were vicious. Brat…you will die!
