Chapter 1536:I Want Your Body

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Back then, in the memory fragment realm containing the Creation Heavenly Race, Xu Qing had judged that there was something fishy.

He also probed many times. Although he still absorbed the pool water in the end, after getting that fortune, he had judged that even if someone had really set a trap, it was only a casual move.

At this moment, his expression was gloomy.

“That wasn’t a casual move. It was a trap specifically targeted at me!”

“The motive of the mastermind…”

Xu Qing didn’t need to think further. He had already understood. After all, from what he knew, Great Emperor Nether Flame’s first target was Demon Feather.

In reality, this place of seclusion was to lure Demon Feather over at a critical moment.

Clearly, his appearance… had caused Nether Flame’s plan to change.

I just don’t know if I’ve become his first choice or a backup.’

‘After all, there’s great karma in my body. Would he dare to ignore the future karma and really plunder it?’

As Xu Qing’s mind raced, the wails from the sarcomas in the surroundings became increasingly heart-rending.

Regardless of whether it was the woman in palace clothes, the youth, the scholar, the old man, or the Fifth Ruler who had transformed into Lin Kun, they were all shaking violently as their bodies rapidly withered.

Their life force, cultivation bases, and even their origins were rapidly sucked away uncontrollably, turning into liquid that gushed into the sarcoma Xu Qing was in.

It only reached his ankles before, but now, it reached his knee.

Moreover, the liquid seemed to possess a will of its own, madly surging into Xu Qing’s body. As it coursed through his flesh, it nourished his body while also preparing for some sort of transformation.

The intense pain he felt during this process was as though something was piercing his heart.

Xu Qing instinctively resisted.

After the will in the liquid sensed Xu Qing’s resistance, it tried to erase Xu Qing’s soul in a tyrannical manner.

This caused Xu Qing’s consciousness to feel unfocused. The connection between his soul and his body was being separated.

All of this couldn’t be reversed.

Xu Qing could only use his fate carving knife to protect his soul. He was like a lone boat in the raging waves, barely holding on.

At the same time, he tried all kinds of methods to escape this predicament.

However, they all failed.

‘Since that’s the case…’

Xu Qing’s expression was ugly. A cold glint flashed in his eyes and determination rose in his heart. He directly sat down cross-legged and took the initiative to absorb the liquid, no longer resisting.

Because he no longer resisted, the will contained in the liquid also reduced its exterminating intent on Xu Qing’s soul. His body instantly rumbled and a large amount of essence gushed in. The nourishment of his body rose to the peak.

At the side, Erniu also sensed that something was amiss. He gasped and was about to help, but when he sensed that the liquid here possessed unbelievable power, he blinked.

He also discovered that Xu Qing was absorbing it with all his might.

Hence, a strange glint appeared in his eyes as he spoke loudly.

“Junior Brother, 1’11 help you!”

As he spoke, he actually sat down cross-legged and assumed the posture of helping Xu Qing absorb it together.

However, his actions were clearly not allowed. Hence, the instant he tried to absorb it, a huge repulsive force suddenly erupted from the sarcoma.

As the sarcoma rumbled, Erniu’s body was actually spat out under the repulsive force.

Xu Qing abruptly opened his eyes and tried to escape with Erniu.

However, the suction force erupted at this moment, instantly enveloping Xu Qing and pulling him fiercely, causing him to be unable to leave.

Just like that, Erniu became the third person to escape from the sarcoma after the Empress and the Demon Feather Great Emperor.

After being expelled, killing intent followed.

This force suddenly rumbled and swept through Erniu’s entire body. As cracking sounds rang out, Erniu’s wails spread in all directions. All the bones in his body shattered and his flesh was crushed. He continued to collapse and turned into a large amount of minced meat that fell into the transparent sea below.

It sank to the bottom of the sea.

Xu Qing heard Erniu’s screams and also saw his collapse. However, he couldn’t divert his attention to pay attention at this moment. Moreover, from what Xu Qing knew, it wasn’t easy to kill Erniu.

In addition, he understood that he was about to face the greatest life-and-death crisis in his life.

He might not be able to get any help in this matter.

Hence, if he wanted to escape, he could only rely on himself.

Xu Qing gritted his teeth fiercely. As a cold glint flashed in his eyes, he continued to take the initiative to absorb the liquid in the surroundings. As he continued to absorb it, the liquid continued to surge rapidly.

The liquid formed by the vitality of the various Rulers already reached his neck and was still rising.

Very soon, it drowned his head and completely enveloped Xu Qing.

This wasn’t the end. As more vitality was absorbed from the various Rulers and the wails of those Rulers became weaker, the amount of liquid in the sarcoma Xu Qing was in had already reached 80%.

Such a dense and astonishing amount of life essence nourished Xu Qing’s body to an unbelievable level.

His body was pieced together from the fragmented-face’s flesh and blood. It looked like a whole but it wasn’t.

Thus, over the years, Xu Qing had been diligently working to fully integrate it. Most importantly, he aimed to strengthen his soul at the same time, buying himself more time.

This required a balance. It was the safest to do both of them at the same time.

Regardless of whether it was the immortal silver at the start or the Dao marks of authorities, their purpose was for this outcome.

However, this process was very slow.

This lasted until he entered Nether Flame’s seclusion site and into the memory fragment realm containing the Creation Heavenly Race, where the pool nourished his flesh. His incomplete body had finally begun to attain completeness. Now, with the essence liquid, derived from absorbing the lives, cultivation, and even the souls of multiple Rulers, his body was on the path to true wholeness.

His vitality rose rapidly, breaking through the shackles of the Soul Accumulation and advancing to the Ruler level.

If Xu Qing’s soul could keep up with this outcome, it would naturally be the best.

However, doing this before his soul matured was like a kid wearing a thousand-kilogram armor. The outcome would be either his soul being crushed or his body strongly rejecting it.

However, if he tried to resist, the will in the liquid would erupt with soul extermination power. As his body became stronger, his soul wouldn’t be able to stay inside.

It looked like he had no choice.

Xu Qing’s choice was still to take the initiative to absorb it!

Even though his soul felt like it was being torn apart and was being rejected, he still didn’t hesitate and continued to absorb it. At the same time, his closed eyes contained a cold glint.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the rejection of his soul to reach the extreme.

Just like that, time slowly passed.

The wails of the various Rulers were almost gone.

All the minced meat of the Erniu on the transparent sea had also completely sunk into the sea.

At this moment, a drastic change erupted.

An earth-shattering explosion suddenly rang out from the sarcoma that the Empress and the Demon Feather Great Emperor had rushed into.

Immediately after, the sarcoma rapidly expanded, growing larger and larger as though the resistance inside had reached the extreme. In the end, the sarcoma itself couldn’t withstand it and split into pieces amidst continuous sounds, bursting from within.

A large amount of flesh and blood splattered everywhere, landing on the transparent sea and melting.

The figures of the Empress and the Demon Feather Great Emperor flew out. When they were in the air, their expressions were cold. When they stared at the collapsed sarcoma, they also noticed the changes in the outside world during this time.

They saw the withering of those Rulers and also the soaring aura on Xu Qing’s side.

The Empress frowned.

After the Demon Feather Great Emperor swept his gaze past the sarcoma where Xu Qing was, his eyes narrowed, revealing a strange glint.

At the same time, as the sarcoma shattered and the Empress and the Demon Feather flew out, the figure of Great Emperor Nether Flame was clearly revealed.

The corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile as he looked at the Empress.

“You came here not just for my soul, but likely for this secluded cultivation realm of mine. Let me guess, do you have someone you want to resurrect?”

The Empress coldly spoke.

“You’re not a complete Nether Flame.”

Nether Flame smiled but didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at the transparent sea.

At the next instant, a vortex appeared in the entire transparent sea. As rumbling sounds echoed, a terrifying aura spread out, blotting out the sky and clouds.

A bizarre figure slowly rose from the vortex.

The figure’s left side had a newly formed human body, while the right side couldn’t achieve full regeneration. It lacked skin, with strands of blood weaving together, spreading out in a horrifying sight.

The feeling of incompleteness was especially obvious.

Seeing this figure, the Demon Feather Great Emperor’s breathing became hurried and his pupils constricted.

As this bizarre figure appeared, countless bolts of lightning swam around it. The sky trembled and the seawater churned. A pressure infinitely close to the Summer Immortal was erupting.

“As expected of the omniscient gods.”

A deep voice rang out from the figure. After that, he raised his head and his gaze was like laws as it landed on the Empress.

“He’s indeed not the complete me. To be precise, he’s one of my two avatars.”

“There’s some karma between him and your two human heaven’s chosens, as before changing his appearance, he held his own identity in the Demon Feather Holy Land as the Great Immortal Master of East Demon Feather.”

“In order to welcome you, not only did I prepare that immortal puppet in the underground chamber, but this avatar also died in the outside world with the excuse that it had passed on the Six Thieves Delusions.”

“Now, to show my respect, 1 have personally come.”

The half-human, half-blood-threaded Nether Flame smiled slightly.

“Then, it’s time for this grand event to end.”

“Demon Feather, have you considered what I told you?”

Nether Flame looked at Demon Feather.

Demon Feather’s expression was gloomy. He turned his head and glanced at the sarcoma where Xu Qing was. After that, determination appeared in his eyes. He suddenly moved and headed straight for the Empress.

At the same time, Nether Flame’s avatar that had attacked them earlier also emitted killing intent, rushing toward the Empress.

The three fought immediately.

In an instant, the void shattered and this world fragmented like a shattered mirror.

Only Nether Flame’s main body calmly spoke as it walked toward the sarcoma Xu Qing was in.

“I swear by the Dao, after this matter, I will return your life soul, Demon Feather, unconditionally, and we will never attack each other.”

“Avatar, after this, I’ll grant you the freedom you dreamed of.”

“Empress… after this matter, this cultivation realm will be yours. You can revive the person you want to revive.”

“What I need is for you guys not to disturb my new life.”

Nether Flame’s voice echoed as his gaze landed on Xu Qing. It revealed a hint of admiration and greed, as though he was looking at a supreme treasure.

His original plan was to possess the Demon Feather and use the other party’s Great Emperor body to complete the rebirth of the other half of his body and advance to the Summer Immortal Realm.

Though there were flaws, he was confident that, given some time, he could fully repair these imperfections.

This lasted until he saw Xu Qing!

The shock in his heart was earth-shattering. Hence, he changed his plan. Not only did he give up on possessing the Demon Feather, but he also secretly communicated with the latter.

It allowed the situation to develop perfectly.

“Such a body is unbelievable. So what if I get implicated by its karma…”

Nether Flame mumbled and walked step by step to the sarcoma where Xu Qing was. He looked at Xu Qing, who had his eyes closed, and licked his lips. The greed in his heart couldn’t be suppressed at this moment.

“I want your body.”

He raised his right hand and penetrated the sarcoma in front of him, pressing it toward the top of Xu Qing’s head..
