Chapter 429 - 429 Godʼs Ability

429 God’s Ability

Xu Qing stared at the sky.

Outsiders might not be able to tell what was going on here, but based on Xu Qing’s understanding of the Seventh Peak and Old Master Seventh, he could tell that everything that had happened today was within his master’s judgment.

Xu Qing had seen Lord Sixth’s death and his master’s guilt.

What was happening now made Xu Qing understand that his master… had already begun to conduct an in-depth research on Illuminate.

The moment Xu Qing looked over, Old Master Seventh moved.

He flew up into the sky. Together with Ancestor Xue Lianzi and Esteemed Master Dongyou, he used the power of the Taboo magic treasure of the Seven Blood Eyes and the power of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect’s Blood Tree to form an inescapable seal that enveloped the corpse that was filled with dense divinity.

He wanted to take this Illuminate’s creation and use the power of the Seven Blood Eyes to study it. He wanted to study Illuminate at a deeper level to make preparations to destroy it.

Even as Old Master Seventh attacked, Xue Lianzi looked up and bowed to the sky.

“We have troubled you, Sword Holding Court. My Seven Blood Eyes can suppress this corpse. After this battle, we will send 60% of its body to the Sword Holding Court and report our future research gains.”

As Xue Lianzi spoke, thunder rumbled in the sky, and a calm voice could be heard.

“Permitted!”

This time, the Eight Sects Alliance had attacked together with the Sword Holding Court, so if the Seven Blood Eyes wanted to suppress the corpse independently, they needed the Sword Holding Court’s permission.

Clearly, the Seven Blood Eyes’ actions, especially the rhythm of everything being planned, made the Sword Holding Court’s cultivator who was hiding in the dark full of admiration.

Moreover, what was commendable was that the Seven Blood Eyes, a new cultivation force, was not greedy.

The same thing was happening in the other three locations.

In the three locations, similar corpses were also revealed.

Shocking divinity fluctuations erupted from their bodies. Just like this place, they were all god specimens.

Clearly, these frankenstein-like beings were still being nurtured. However, with the sudden attack of the Eight Sects Alliance, they had no choice but to stop the nurturing process.

As a result, they had to battle before divine might could form.

The Seven Blood Eyes didn’t know what material the corpses in the other three locations were based on, but the wisdom foundation of the corpse they were facing was that tongue.

“That’s Saintly Star’s tongue!” Xu Qing stared at the sky and suddenly spoke.

His words resolved the last doubt in Old Master Seventh’s mind, and a look of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.

“Then there’s no mistaking it. The corpse’s body is pieced together from different organisms. Its body is of an ancient corpse. Its limbs belong to nonhumans, and its head is of a special plant race. The blood in its body is the blood of a divine creature. It doesn’t have any internal organs, but it’s filled with dense anomalous substances. There’s a dent in its head, as if something is about to be born there…

No matter how I look at it, it looks like some kind of ritual.”

“The purpose of the tongue is to give intelligence to this divine corpse. After Saintly Star’s will was modified by Illuminate, it clearly fits this requirement. If it succeeded… it would have been Saintly Star’s rebirth!”

“Trying to change your path to god?!”

“Unfortunately, this intelligence is still too weak and couldn’t succeed. It has already been assimilated by divinity and lost its self and will.”

Just as Old Master Seventh was deep in thought, the suppressed corpse let out a shocking roar.

It could feel the binding power, so the divinity in its body suddenly erupted. A crazy and disorderly energy fluctuation spread in the world.

Although it was not a god, the ripples from such rich divinity indirectly increased its life level.

The difference in life level allowed it to possess some unbelievable mystical powers.

For example, at this moment, its roar caused everything to distort.

It was not only the world that was blurry, but also the mind. The surrounding Seven Blood Eyes disciples trembled and instinctively had the urge to worship it.

This feeling was uncontrollable and impossible to suppress. It was just like a mortal encountering a great terror. All their mobility would be cut off, and they would instinctively tremble and lose all resistance.

In that instant, the Seven Blood Eyes disciples on the ground, as well as the Minor Affairs Sect disciples who had fled into the distance, began to tremble. One by one, they dropped to their knees and kowtowed.

It seemed that this was the only way to clear their thoughts.

Even so, even though they were kneeling, they were still trembling, and their bodies were undergoing all sorts of mutations. In fact, the direction of these mutations… was actually similar to the corpse.

It was as if the corpse had become the source, causing everything to change.

Only Xue Lianzi, Esteemed Master Dongyou, and Old Master Seventh could ignore this divine might.

Next was Xu Qing.

Although Xu Qing’s body was trembling, he didn’t kneel down. Instead, he continued to stare at the corpse, his eyes filled with killing intent.

He had seen the fragmented face of the god open its eyes twice. This divine creature that was pieced together wasn’t qualified to make him lower his head. As for mutations, a large number of tentacles grew out of his body.

However, the purple crystal in his body shone and his shadow spread out on the ground, greedily and excitedly absorbing.

All of this caused the changes in Xu Qing’s body to dissipate.

However, this was not the only thing that came from the divine power of the corpse.

As its divinity erupted, the corpse threw its head back and let out a soundless roar. Rumbling could be heard as it broke free of all restraints and rose up into the air.

It looked down at the ground, then raised its right hand and pressed down on the ground.

The ground rumbled, and countless overlapping images appeared on the bodies of everyone on the ground, including Old Master Seventh, Xue Lianzi, and Esteemed Master Dongyou.

Upon closer inspection, these images looked like everyone’s past and future.

When these images were stacked together, it was as if everyone had become a picture book. Others could see everything from this picture book.

The past was clear in everyone’s picture book, but the future was blurry, as if it contained countless possibilities and changes.

But now, among these countless changes, there was one scene that was the same.

That scene was of today, this place, the scene of everyone’s death!

Everyone’s picture book contained this scene. They were all dying, overlapping and corroborating each other, including Xu Qing.

Xu Qing’s mind rumbled and his body shook violently. He could also see his past, his countless futures, and that scene. It was as though that future was being pulled out by an indescribable force and was about to solidify into reality.

That scene was of him dying here, invaded by the power of the corpse, and his entire body mutated and died.

This power had exceeded Xu Qing’s understanding.

Xu Qing’s breathing quickened and a ferocious expression appeared on his face. He struggled to raise his right hand and waved it viciously. Instantly, the little black bugs that contained the poison of his poison pill flew out and charged toward him.

These little black bugs landed on Xu Qing’s body and bit him forcefully, fusing the poison into his body.

Xu Qing’s body trembled and his entire body began to rot. The future of death formed by this decay immediately affected the future image manifested by the power of divinity, forming a resistance.

These two scenes kept intersecting and alternating.

“So this is divine power!”

Up in the sky, Old Master Seventh’s eyes shone with enlightenment.

A similar scene appeared on his body. The method he used was the same as Xu Qing. He used another controlled death to replace the future manifested by divinity.

“Ancestor, the divinity correspondence I need is about done. We can start sealing!”

Even as he spoke, Old Master Seventh performed an incantation gesture, causing clouds to form in his hands which then transformed into all kinds of ferocious beasts. Each of them contained the power of suppression, and each of them emanated the aura of a seal.

There were a thousand of them. As they transformed, they fused together to form a black cat.

The cat didn’t have a past, nor a future. Its body was huge, and as soon as it enveloped the corpse, Xue Lianzi’s body flickered and transformed into countless blood threads that quickly bound it. Shocking fluctuations spread out from each blood thread, and similarly, they had no future or past.

Esteemed Master Dongyou’s eyes shone with a strange light. She waved her hand… and a huge flag appeared in the sky.

It was… the battle flag of the human race.

Outsiders thought that the flag belonged to the Alliance, but that wasn’t the case. It belonged to Esteemed Master Dongyou, who had lent it to the Seven Blood Eyes before.

The human race’s battle flag was erect. The Taboo of the Seven Blood Eyes was completely activated. The blood tree also erupted with all its power. The sealing power reached an extreme and suppressed the corpse.

Among the countless blood drops on the flag, the drop of golden blood gave off a dazzling light. There was even a finger that suddenly pointed at the corpse.

The corpse trembled violently and let out a miserable roar. It could not support its raised right hand and had to retract it.

It was impossible for it to escape even if it wanted to. It was suppressed by Old Master Seventh’ black cat, and entangled by Xue Lianzi’s blood threads. Its soul was sealed by the Seven Blood Eyes’ Taboo, its body was locked by the Blood Tree, and… its divinity was suppressed by the human battle flag.

It was completely sealed!

With its body sealed, the world returned to normal. Most of the disciples on the ground coughed up blood. Although they looked dispirited and severely injured, their lives were not in danger. All the overlapping images on their bodies instantly disappeared.

It was just that this battle had a huge impact on their minds.

At this moment, the images on Xu Qing had also dissipated. As for the poison in his body, as the little black bugs surged in and absorbed them, as well as the suppression of the purple crystal and with his own poison resistance, it was also rapidly controlled.

Staring at the sealed corpse, Xu Qing’s heart stirred.

“This is… a god?”
