Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This jade bottle was white and smooth like lamb fat. There was also a halo lingering outside. Clearly, it was not an ordinary item.
Feng took it and nodded after scanning it with his divine sense.
“The Empyrean Saint Restriction is a secret art that only the direct descendants of my race can learn. It’s said that if it’s full might is displayed, even gods can be refined. Those two humans aren’t simple and I also don’t have time to waste. This is the only way.”
Lan Yao calmly spoke.
“That’s not a rumor. You’re only a half-blood, so there are some things you don’t know the whole truth about. In reality, when the Holy Ancestor left the Wanggu with my race back then, although Desolate hadn’t truly arrived, some gods had already appeared.”
“The Holy Ancestor used this restriction to refine several high gods.”
Feng’s expression changed and he nodded.
“Thank you for telling me, Fellow Daoist Lan. Those two humans have fled for some time, so 1 shall cast the spell now.”
With that, Feng took a deep breath and opened the jade bottle without any hesitation. He waved it out and a drop of white liquid immediately flew out of the bottle.
After this liquid appeared, no spiritual energy spread out. However, in an instant, the surroundings became dry, as though all the moisture had disappeared.
!!..
It was as if the presence of this liquid meant that no water could exist.
Even Feng and Lan had to use the light of the holy land to cover themselves and lock the water in their bodies.
Feng’s expression was solemn. He looked at the white liquid in front of him and performed a series of hand seals with both hands. Dao runes quickly shot out and flew toward the liquid.
A strange scene appeared. The runes passed through the liquid, expanding to become a thousand feet long. They then flew into the sky and disappeared.
There were a total of 108 runes.
This seemed to be Feng’s limit.
When the last rune entered the void, the drop of white liquid turned transparent and the dryness in the surroundings disappeared.
“Alright, those two can’t escape. Let’s go over and take a look.”
Feng looked at Lan Yao.
Lan Yao smiled happily and both sides took a step forward.
At that moment, in the air thousands of kilometers away from the two of them, Xu Qing and the captain were flying rapidly. During this time, they didn’t communicate at all, looking like they were trying their best to escape.
However, at the next instant, the sky suddenly changed. A thousand-foot-long rune suddenly appeared and rushed toward them.
In an instant, it landed in front of Xu Qing and the captain.
With that, the void collapsed, transforming into countless spatial fragments that spread in all directions. From afar, it looked like a spatial flower had bloomed.
That was indeed a flower!
It was as white as a lotus and was spinning.
Xu Qing and the captain’s expressions darkened and they changed directions without hesitation. However, at this moment, the sky rumbled again. The second rune, the third, the fourth…
A total of more than 30 of them descended one after another.
The rumbling continued and many parts of the void in the air collapsed, creating a spatial storm.
White lotuses in the storm enveloped Xu Qing and the captain and bloomed one after another.
Even more thousand-foot-long runes appeared in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, a total of 108 white lotuses surrounded a radius of 50 kilometers. Each of them rotated rapidly, forming a terrifying sealing power.
What was even more astonishing was that every time they rotated, green threads would appear.
With the power of heat and the might to destroy the world, they silently headed toward the trapped Xu Qing and Erniu.
In an instant, countless green threads surrounded Xu Qing and the captain. Further away, as the lotuses spun, more green threads emerged.
These green threads formed a huge green lotus that was 50 kilometers long!
All the moisture in the surroundings disappeared and was replaced by intense heat.
The intent of refining emerged as the seal became a furnace!
Xu Qing and the captain’s expressions instantly changed.
An intense sense of danger rose in the two of them. They looked at each other and immediately used their respective methods, trying to break out of the trap.
The captain’s body swayed and countless blue worms appeared, spitting out cold air. His spine and skeletal hand flickered in the cold air as he ruthlessly charged forward.
A rumbling sound echoed like heavenly lightning, but the giant lotus furnace only shook slightly and didn’t shatter.
It was the same for Xu Qing. The Spirit Devouring Blade could break through the rules but here, it was unable to break through the wall of refinement. It only made it tremble and couldn’t cut it.
Seeing this, Xu Qing looked at the captain.
Their gazes met. Although they didn’t transmit their voices, they already understood each other’s intentions.
“Are you sure?” Xu Qing asked in a low voice.
“I’m sure!”
The captain licked his lips and blinked. A blue worm silently appeared in Xu Qing’s hand and he kept it.
After that, Xu Qing slapped his forehead.
With this slap, his body rumbled and his divine soul actually flew out of his body. It opened its mouth and swallowed the body.
The captain also did the same thing. His soul flew out and stored the countless worms his body had transformed into.
After that, Xu Qing’s divine soul body lifted its hand and pushed forward.
With this push, ripples appeared in the surroundings. Water seemed to have appeared in the air where there was no moisture.
However, this Empyrean Holy Restriction was terrifying and extraordinary. Although the Fishing the Moon From the Well technique that could be used anywhere had also formed here, it was severely affected.
Almost as soon as the ripples appeared, they immediately dried up.
Xu Qing’s soul didn’t hesitate. Taking advantage of the fact that he could still use the power of Fishing the Moon From the Well, he raised his hand and scooped the water surface.
What he caught wasn’t the giant lotus but the souls of himself and the captain.
At the next instant, a large hand manifested outside the giant lotus. It seemed to be formed by the galaxy as it rushed toward the giant lotus with endless strength.
The moment they came into contact, the large hand trembled and the green lotus shone.
However, in the end, it was obvious that the illusory power of the Fishing the Moon From the Well was even more mystical. This was especially so because Xu Qing had become a source of this Fishing the Moon From the Well, so its status was extremely high.
Hence, the illusory hand pierced through the giant lotus.
It landed in the air above the water surface. With a scoop, it grabbed Xu Qing and the captain’s souls in its palm and abruptly withdrew.
Xu Qing was using this unbelievable method to escape.
However, at that moment, a cold snort rang out. Accompanied by countless flower petals, it landed on Xu Qing’s Fishing the Moon From the Well hand.
The cold snort belonged to Feng.
The petals belonged to Lan Yao.
The two of them had surprised and solemn expressions.
Clearly, they didn’t expect Xu Qing to possess such a freakish method.
Feng raised his hand and waved it, causing the storms to transform into a five-colored peacock with black horns. It lunged toward the large hand.
Lan Yao’s petals also gathered at this moment, forming a sky-cleaving sword that slashed out.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing’s large hand shook and showed signs of collapse, as though it couldn’t continue persisting. At this critical moment, a shout rang out from its palm.
The captain’s soul rushed out and spat out his body, fusing together.
“Junior Brother, don’t care about me. Hurry, go inform the sect!”
As he spoke, the captain’s eyes revealed death intent. He assumed a reckless posture and stretched out his arms. Resplendent blue light and countless worms erupted outwards. Coupled with his spine and blue skeletal hand, they formed a human-shaped barrier.
It stopped the five-colored peacock and the sky-cleaving sword.
“Eldest Senior Brother!!”
Xu Qing’s expression was filled with grief and indignation, accompanied by a roar of anger. However, ultimately, he seemed resigned. He could only seize the opportunity provided by the captain’s obstruction. With a sudden motion, the illusory giant hand grabbed his soul and escaped from the trap.
At the next moment, outside the huge green lotus, the illusory large hand dissipated, and Xu Qing’s soul appeared. After he spat out his body, his soul and body fused into one and he turned to escape.
At this moment, a cold voice rang out from the giant lotus.
“If you leave, your Eldest Senior Brother’s soul will be destroyed instantly!”
“He is doing this for you.”
As the voice rang out, the giant green lotus immediately became transparent, revealing Lan Yao and Feng.
As for the captain’s body, it was being held by the neck by Feng.
His eyes were closed and he was motionless, seemingly unconscious.
His body was limp and many parts of his body were badly mangled. Clearly, his injuries were extremely serious.
When Xu Qing saw this, grief and indignation appeared in his eyes. There was also determination as the light of divine authorities shone outside his body.
In an instant, the Purple Moon rose, Ming Fei manifested, and the power of misfortune emerged.
Not only that, but the Emperor Sword in his body was also humming as it was held by the Emperor Soul Heavenly Dao. Although it didn’t transform into a terrifying sword shadow like it did in the battle with Flame Mystic, it still looked like it was going all out.
Grand Mystic Heaven’s armor also emitted a piercing light. With his actions, Xu Qing expressed his determination to persevere in this battle, even if it meant facing destruction.
At the same time, tens of thousands of ghost centipedes appeared, all of them emitting the intent to self-destruct.
This reckless attitude caused the hearts of Feng and Lan Yao to turn increasingly gloomy.
Although they still had many methods, the two of them looked united but were at odds. They were both on guard against each other, so they didn’t dare to rashly reveal all their cards.
As for this human in front of them, although he was in Nihility, the methods he displayed earlier were already astonishing. The illusory large hand just now even contained Dao.
Hence, it wouldn’t be easy to trap him.
Now, it looked even more difficult. The god’s aura on the other party’s body was very terrifying. They could guess that it must be his ultimate trump card.
Also, that sword intent… Feng and Lan Yao both sensed a trace of a Great Emperor’s aura.
“He has the Emperor Sword in his body!”
The two of them panted slightly and their expressions grew increasingly gloomy.
With their experience, they immediately determined the combat strength Xu Qing had displayed at this moment. If they wanted to suppress him, there was a risk of them being heavily injured.
As for which one of them would be heavily injured, it was hard to say.
As such, wariness rose and they couldn’t act decisively.
They couldn’t let Xu Qing leave but it was difficult to trap or kill him.
Fortunately, the Empyrean Holy Restriction had captured the other party’s senior brother alive…
However, even so, it was still a difficult situation.
Feng’s heart was gloomy and his gaze flickered.
Lan Yao, who was at the side, suddenly spoke after glancing at Xu Qing a few times.
“Fellow Daoist, since we fought until now, you know our strength and we’ve seen your abilities. Now that your Eldest Senior Brother is in our hands, we truly can’t let you leave.”
“Instead of being in such a deadlock, why don’t… you participate in our plan!”
