Chapter 447 - 447 The Key to God!

447 The Key to God!

The Sword Forbidden Region was the only forbidden region in the Yinghuang Province.

This place was located in the western part of the Yinghuang Province near the central area. At the same time, it also covered a section of the mainstream of the Immortal Enrichment River.

Before the Immortal Enrichment River entered the Sword Forbidden Region, the river was filled with immortal Qi. After it flowed out of the forbidden region, it turned pitch-black.

This place was covered in thick fog all year round and sunlight couldn’t enter. Hence, from a high altitude, one could only see the pitch-black river flowing out but they couldn’t see what had happened to the river in the forbidden region.

The fog enveloped everything.

One could only faintly see that the Immortal Enrichment River had divided the Sword Forbidden into two areas. However, the lingering fog seemed to have connected them together again.

“According to the records in the Alliance, there was a catastrophe in the Sword Forbidden Region 3,000 years ago. That Sword Emperor woke up and walked out. This matter caused a commotion in the entire Fenghai County. In the end, he was barely suppressed by the alliance of the myriad races of Fenghai County.”

“Flame Emperor, Corpse Emperor, and Sword Emperor, these three are the lords of their respective forbidden regions. The strength of each of them is unfathomable.” The captain looked at the pitch-black jungle in the distance. The instant his voice rang out, Xu Qing had already rushed out.

His speed was so fast that he transformed into a ray of light that headed straight for the Sword Forbidden Region.

On the magic warship, Yanyan looked at the captain worriedly.

“Eldest Senior Brother…”

The captain looked at Xu Qing’s figure and smiled faintly.

“It’s fine. With me around, I can guarantee that Xu Qing will be safe. However, Yanyan, I’ve been a little tight on money recently. You…”

Yanyan instantly threw out a storage bag.

The captain’s eyes lit up. After taking it and sweeping his gaze over it, he was immediately pleasantly surprised. He patted his chest and spoke loudly.

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I’ll do everything to make your husband safe!” As he spoke, the captain looked at Yanyan eagerly.

The word ‘sister-in-law’ instantly caused Yanyan’s face to turn red. She happily threw another storage bag.

“Damn, from now on, Yanyan, you’re the only sister-in-law I acknowledge!” The captain’s body trembled. He took the storage bag and chased after Xu Qing.

Hearing the captain’s words, Yanyan was happy and her face blushed.

However, she didn’t know that the captain, who was chasing after Xu Qing, was overjoyed as he sped. His eyes were shining as though he had found a new way to get rich.

“I’m stupid. I shouldn’t be envious of Little Qing. Every time I go out with him, I should call for a female cultivator and do this. I definitely won’t lack money!”

“There’s also that rich woman, Ding Xue. She has the most money!”

The captain was excited, especially when he thought about how it would be if the person beside Xu Qing was Purple Mystic Fairy and the other party obediently called him senior brother.

“I’ll use Little Qing’s name to give each of those people a small gift later to protect their relationship with Little Qing. Little Qing, you must have accumulated good fortune in your previous life to have a senior brother like me!”

The captain was touched and in a good mood.

In reality, this wasn’t his first time doing this.

Back then, when he and Xu Qing had done that major event in the Sea Corpse Race and escaped back to the Seven Blood Eyes, he was arranged to be an Image Disciple to welcome the nonhuman races. The reason why Ding Xue and Gu Muqing appeared beside Xu Qing at the same time was because he had secretly manipulated it.

In reality, the sect had decided on Gu Muqing at that time. Hence, the captain secretly informed Ding Xue and sold her a spot…

He was feeling smug and his speed also increased. He chased after Xu Qing and entered the Sword Forbidden Region.

In the Sword Forbidden jungle, Xu Qing moved very fast. After he rushed in, the anomalous substances in the surroundings surged over and rapidly filled Xu Qing’s body. He instantly absorbed them and gushed them into the third palace.

He didn’t stop. He leaped up in the jungle and grabbed to the side with his right hand. Immediately, a huge snake that was hanging on a large tree and emitting extraordinary fluctuations was grabbed by Xu Qing.

Almost at the instant his hand touched the large snake, the large snake that was as thick as a human let out a painful hiss. Its body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye and it turned into a skeleton in the blink of an eye. All the vitality in its body disappeared.

A hint of spirit appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He didn’t say a word and continued forward. Very soon, a ferocious beast that was red like a qilin appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes.

This ferocious beast’s aura wasn’t ordinary. Its entire body emitted a baleful aura and its body was covered in faces of humans and beasts.

Ahead of the beast was a group of eight-legged wolves. These wolves were monstrous. They had two bodies but only one head.

Moreover, the head was extremely large, comparable to its entire body. Its appearance was strange but at the same time, its ferocity was also very intense. However, under the pursuit of the ferocious beast that was like a qilin, they retracted their ferocity and fled in panic.

Xu Qing directly appeared between the two parties. The qilin-like ferocious beast suddenly stopped in its tracks. As soon as its baleful aura erupted, Xu Qing had already arrived in front of it. He lifted his right hand and pressed down fiercely.

The ferocious beast’s body trembled and it didn’t even have the qualifications to dodge or block. In an instant, Xu Qing’s palm landed on its head. With a bang, the ferocious beast’s body directly withered and within a few breaths, it turned into a skeleton.

This scene caused the eight-legged wolf pack to tremble and flee even faster. However, Xu Qing licked his lips and leaped up, turning into an afterimage as he chased after them and began to absorb them.

Very soon, after leaving behind a pile of corpses, Xu Qing’s figure disappeared into the distance, disappearing into the jungle.

Tens of breaths later, the captain’s figure appeared.

He looked at the corpses all over the ground and felt relieved.

“From the looks of it, there shouldn’t be a problem.”

The captain mumbled and was about to continue following.

However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed. He sniffed slightly and suspiciously turned his head to look at the depths of the forbidden region.

That place was in a different direction from where Xu Qing had gone.

After careful observation, the captain’s eyes lit up.

“There’s actually such a treasure here?” The captain licked his lips, his eyes shining.

“Junior Brother is fine. I might as well go take a look at this treasure first.”

At the thought of this, the captain changed his direction and immediately rushed over, disappearing into the jungle.

Just like that, time slowly passed. Soon, half a month had passed.

In this half a month, Xu Qing engaged in crazy slaughter. Wherever he passed, he would absorb the vitality of any ferocious beasts he encountered to nourish his poison pill. It was the same even when he encountered bizarre entities.

He didn’t even remember how many ferocious beasts he had killed. With his current combat strength of four palaces, he could basically sweep through everything in the outer area of the forbidden region.

Hence, very soon, Xu Qing moved slightly closer to the depths. As he moved deeper, he encountered more ferocious beasts. He continued to kill and absorb.

Gradually, his consciousness returned to normal. The light in his eyes was no longer dim and his body had recovered a lot.

Coupled with the effect of the purple crystal, he looked fine now. At most, he was thinner than before.

His hair had grown back and his robe had been changed to a new one. Under such dense vitality and anomalous substances, the Poison Restriction Pill in the third Heavenly Palace in his body was only a trace away from complete recovery.

This trace was also very easy to deal with. At this moment, Xu Qing was attacking for this. His speed was extremely fast as he headed straight for a group of huge jellyfish flying in the sky.

These jellyfish emitted a cold aura. Wherever they passed, the ground would be frozen. Most of the ferocious beasts in this area wouldn’t be able to escape death.

There were dozens of these jellyfish of various sizes. One could even see rotting corpses being digested in their translucent bodies.

Xu Qing had seen similar jellyfish in the forbidden zone of the scavenger campsite back then.

It was as though this jellyfish was a common creature in the forbidden zone and region. After seeing it again, the intense pressure that he felt back then had completely disappeared.

Looking at the jellyfish, Xu Qing thought of the countless low-level cultivators killed by this species in the scavenger campsite. This included Old Stone whom Xu Qing had buried.

A sharp glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes as he rushed out. His speed was so fast that he instantly rushed into the group of jellyfish.

As waves of rumbling sounded, many dried-up jellyfish that had lost their vitality fell from the air.

A moment later, Xu Qing landed on a gigantic tree crown.

His eyes emitted spirit, and a rumbling sound that was like heavenly lightning echoed in his body.

In his third palace, the Poison Restriction Pill that had been fused and transformed into his intrinsic treasure seemed to have the fire of life ignited again at this moment and emitted dense energy fluctuations.

In fact, it was trembling slightly.

This vibration was continuous, just like a heart.

What followed was an extremely intimate connection. This feeling was like the Poison Restriction Pill in the third palace was originally a part of Xu Qing’s body.

Xu Qing was excited.

He first took out the little black bugs and inhaled. Immediately, these little black bugs entered Xu Qing’s body and entered the third palace, surrounding the Poison Restriction Pill.

Immediately after, Xu Qing looked at the sky far away in the jungle. At that moment, another batch of jellyfish whistled over.

Clearly, the group of jellyfish here was even larger. He had only killed a portion of them earlier and it had attracted the attention of the group of jellyfish here. At that moment, hundreds of jellyfish were rushing over from afar.

Among them, three of them had bodies that were thousands of feet long and emitted astonishing energy that was actually comparable to Golden Cores with two or three Heavenly Palaces.

“As expected of a forbidden region. I haven’t even entered the inner regions yet but I’m already able to encounter such a powerful beast.”

“Alright, I’ll test the might of my Poison Restriction Pill here!”

Xu Qing mumbled as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. The third Heavenly Palace in his body trembled and the Poison Restriction Pill inside instantly activated.

Endless poison spread out from the poison pill and Xu Qing’s body. It was colorless and odorless and rumbled in all directions like an avalanche.

Wherever it passed, countless trees instantly rotted and all vegetation turned to ashes in the blink of an eye. The ferocious beasts didn’t have the ability to struggle and were instantly poisoned, turning into blood amidst waves of mournful cries.

The jellyfish that arrived in the sky couldn’t escape death either. One after another, they turned pitch-black and melted, turning into black water that splashed on the ground.

They weren’t the only ones. The ground was the same.

The ground became a forbidden land. Countless small bugs acted up in unison and the ferocious beasts deep underground couldn’t avoid the poison either. They were instantly exterminated.

The fog in the sky rapidly melted at this moment, revealing a large hole, allowing the moonlight from the outside world to cascade in.

It enveloped Xu Qing’s body and the surrounding 5,000 feet!

Within this 5000-foot-long area, not a blade of grass was left and everything was dead.

At a glance, the ground… was empty.

Only the pitch-black soil portrayed a shocking horror.

Xu Qing stood in the air and watched all of this. The shadow slowly appeared, forming the shadow of a large pitch-black tree. It bent down behind him and worshiped.

From afar, this large shadow tree seemed to have become Xu Qing’s cloak. Under the contrast of this 5,000-foot-long extermination, Xu Qing’s tall and straight figure and peerlessly beautiful face looked even more demonic.

The black iron stick appeared in mid-air and was trembling at this moment. The Diamond Sect’s ancestor also knelt on the ground and worshiped.

Waves of emotions had already surged in his mind. Everything turned into a mumble.

“God?”

The reason for this was because of the anomalous substances that were slowly growing on the ground!

These anomalous substances weren’t from the forbidden region. Instead, they had formed on their own after this place was covered by Xu Qing’s poison.

What was even stranger was that these anomalous substances actually gave Xu Qing a feeling that they came from him.

It was as though they were born because of him.

It was different from the anomalous substances that originally permeated this place!

Xu Qing’s body trembled in disbelief. This was because this was… the ability of the god!
