Chapter 1559 Treasure Light, Blade Light, Sword Light

1559  Treasure Light, Blade Light, Sword Light

During the unification of Wanggu by Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether, the role of the Immortal Art Great Emperor was extremely special.

The immortal arts created by him greatly enhanced the combat power of human cultivators, leading to massive destruction and possessing an eerie, unpredictable nature.

Among them, there was no lack of cruel and bloody arts.

The other races in Wanggu, who were enemies with Mystic Nether back then, harbored immense hatred for these immortal arts, but they were powerless to stop them.

However, after the unification, due to the fact that immortal arts harmed the harmony of the world, all the immortal arts were sealed and no longer passed down.

As for the Immortal Art Great Emperor himself, for various reasons, he was ultimately concealed in history.

He became the only Great emperor in the human race who was largely unknown to future generations.

Because the fragmented-face arrived and the gods descended, most of the myriad races left and established holy lands, using those immortal arts again.

As for Wanggu's immortal arts, they were also indirectly grasped by the myriad races because of the discovery of the Immortal Arts Halls.

However, in the fifth star ring, this was the first time an immortal art was displayed.

When it landed in the perception of the middle-aged Ruler, his mind naturally shook intensely.

Whether it was the Six Desires Sea that enveloped the nine demons or the vortex that appeared in his sea of consciousness, it caused the middle-aged Ruler's gaze to be solemn.

Especially the latter, where that hidden coldness, lurking unnoticed in memories, suddenly surged forth as white hair twisted into a vortex, transforming into a door. The chilling intent that followed revealed the inescapable nature of the immortal art, impossible to defend against.

The Ruler felt an intense sense of danger spreading throughout his body, as though it wanted to drown everything. Even his memories showed signs of not belonging to him.

It was as though everything in his memories had become his enemy at this moment.

At this critical moment, he made a prompt decision. One of his hands touched his forehead and the other touched his chest, pressing down in unison.

A rumbling sound echoed. With his robust cultivation, the hand that landed on his forehead affected his soul and memories, causing the strange changes in his memories to stop.

The hand that landed on his chest sealed his sea of consciousness, forcefully suppressing the eruption inside.

After doing this, his eyes flickered with a red light. He suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled.

Immediately, the nine demons, who were surrounded by the Six Desires Sea, roared. Their bodies collapsed and transformed into dense demonic energy that rolled back and flew into the middle-aged Ruler's opened mouth.

He swallowed them all.

At this instant, thunder rang out from his body. His originally skinny appearance expanded explosively at the next instant. His flesh swelled and his skin turned red. His entire person directly grew from a normal height to a thousand feet tall.

The baleful aura on his body overflowed into the sky and demonic flames spread out from his feet, enveloping the surroundings. An earth-shattering violent intent erupted from his body.

He used this baleful aura and combined it with the violent intent to sweep through his body, searching for the places that were invaded by the immortal arts and tearing them ruthlessly!

This was one of the middle-aged Ruler's trump cards, the Baleful Demonic Descent.

Vaguely, there seemed to be a faint cracking sound. Xu Qing's expression turned grim as he realized that his immortal arts were being forcibly torn apart. Along with it, the segment of memory that had been invaded by the immortal art was also being shredded.

They were all violently torn apart by the middle-aged Ruler.

After doing all this, the middle-aged Ruler, who had transformed into a baleful demon, revealed madness in his blood-red eyes. His body flickered as he charged directly toward Xu Qing.

As the storm spread, its momentum was overwhelming. Xu Qing merely sensed it, and immediately, his entire body felt as though his flesh and blood were being pierced with pain.

The Ruler was so fast that he left behind afterimages. He instantly got close and slammed down with his palm.

Xu Qing's reaction was also very fast. His cultivation base circulated fully as he retreated. However, he was still hit by the palm strike. His entire body shook and the bones in his body emitted the sound of shattering as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The power of a Ruler was terrifying.

If it was any other Soul Accumulation cultivator, not only would their bones shatter, but their bodies and souls would also be destroyed.

However, Xu Qing's immortal body was extraordinary. Although he was injured, he borrowed the force of this palm strike to retreat further.

He didn't continue fleeing. Instead, as the distance between them widened and the Ruler rushed over again under his berserk state, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes.

He raised his right hand and slammed it down on the middle-aged Ruler.

Metal became the blade, earth the platform, wood the groove, water the connecting axis, and fire the force of the strike.

It was the God Slaying Platform that Xu Qing had reconstructed using his five elements!

The instant his right hand landed, the vast and shocking Five Elements God Slaying Platform appeared in front of Xu Qing, above the middle-aged Ruler.

It enveloped him.

"Slash!"

Xu Qing shouted.

Immediately, the aura of the God Slaying Platform locked onto the Ruler, sealing his surroundings and all trajectories. Under the violent power and the flickering of the blade light, the blade landed.

Crack!

The blade landed on the middle-aged Ruler's neck. However, the God Slaying Platform that had always succeeded couldn't separate the middle-aged Ruler's head.

It only cut halfway before it was forcefully stopped by a huge impact.

As blood flowed, the middle-aged Ruler let out a monstrous roar. Overlapping shadows immediately appeared on his body. They were the nine demons he had absorbed.

These nine demons were translucent and appeared from the Ruler's body like souls. They rushed toward the God Slaying Platform and directly exploded the moment they came into contact with it.

Using such an explosive method to bombard the God Slaying Platform.

In the blink of an eye, as nine explosions rang out, the God Slaying Platform continued to tremble. In the end, it couldn't resist and collapsed, shattering into pieces.

Xu Qing's mind churned and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he retreated again.

As for the baleful demon Ruler, after the God Slaying Platform collapsed and the nine demons left his body, his body rapidly shrunk and he instantly transformed into the middle-aged man from before.

There was a bloody mark on his neck and a few streams of blood flowed out. However, the wound was healing rapidly.

"As expected of a heaven's chosen. With the cultivation of the Soul Accumulation Seven Worlds, the spells you cast are each more bizarre and powerful than the last."

The middle-aged Ruler's voice echoed.

He seemed to have spoken normally and his words were normal. However, the moment he heard it, a sense of danger rose in Xu Qing's heart.

The next instant, the void around Xu Qing fluctuated and array formations actually appeared out of thin air.

First, it was 3,300 array formations, then 33,000 array formations, then 330,000 array formations!

Countless array formations blasted out from the void. They were densely packed and blotted out the sky. They suppressed Xu Qing at an astonishing speed.

This was another technique of the middle-aged Ruler!

Three-Three Forbidden Array!

The so-called 'three-three' meant that if the words he spoke contained exactly thirty-three characters, he could instantly unleash the full force of these formations with just a single thought.

It was very difficult for those who didn't know about this technique to sense it in advance.

This was the first time Xu Qing had encountered one. He couldn't dodge at all. There were array formations everywhere around him. At this critical moment, his right eye suddenly flickered and dao marks circulated inside.

The erase authority was activated.

He was trying to erase all the array formations he saw!

At the next instant, a large number of the array formations were erased but more continued to appear. Xu Qing was trapped on the spot. Booming sounds continued to ring out in his surroundings as light shone.

"You finally used your authority. I guessed earlier that it was impossible for you to not have any authority."

The middle-aged Ruler coldly spoke when he saw this scene.

He had never underestimated Xu Qing, whether it was earlier or now.

He understood that a person who came from another star ring alone definitely had few trump cards.

Moreover, from the other party's calmness, there was a high chance that this trump card could injure a Ruler.

Hence, from the start, he looked like he was attacking but in reality, he was on guard.

Even though the battle had reached this point, with Xu Qing already revealing what seemed to be his trump card—the blade technique—and the middle-aged Ruler having employed the powerful Three-Three Forbidden Array, the Ruler remained cautious. His eyes gleamed, showing that he hadn't let down his guard for a moment.

Hence, when Xu Qing revealed the authority to destroy the array formations, he suddenly waved his hand.

He took out a treasure.

It was a seed.

The moment it appeared, this seed instantly sprouted. In the span of a breath, it grew explosively and became a sapling, a tree, a huge tree!

490 feet tall!

Its entire body was crystalline. It was the same for its leaves. It looked dazzling and peerlessly beautiful.

As for its effect, it was to absorb.

It actually absorbed all the energy from Xu Qing and the traces of spells on the surrounding battlefield in an unbelievable way.

After that, three marks appeared on the tree trunk.

One was Xu Qing's Five Elements Heavenly Dao Hand.

One was an immortal art.

One was the God Slaying Platform from earlier.

After these three marks appeared, they fused together and formed a figure on the tree trunk.

From the outline, this figure… was exactly the same as Xu Qing.

Killing intent erupted from this figure and locked onto Xu Qing in the distance.

Xu Qing, who was using his erase authority to destroy the array formations, felt his heart tremble.

"This treasure…"

Not only could this treasure absorb energy, but it could also form a corresponding body.

At this moment, the figure that looked identical to Xu Qing was struggling fiercely, trying to break free from the tree trunk. The trunk was tearing apart, and it seemed that the figure was about to emerge into the world.

The sense of danger grew even more intense. Xu Qing didn't hesitate and transmitted his thoughts.

"Little Shadow!"

The instant his thought spread, the shadow under Xu Qing's feet suddenly erupted. It was like extreme darkness. After it enveloped the surroundings, sinister laughter echoed and a large black tree rose from the ground.

The tree's crown and trunk were pitch black, with a black coffin hanging like a pendulum and countless eerie eyes opening simultaneously. All of them locked onto the crystalline treasure tree, lunging towards it.

"Not going to use it yet?"

The middle-aged Ruler sneered but didn't get close. Instead, he grabbed fiercely at the sky.

"Ghost Gate opens, and Heaven's Wrath descends!"

With this grasp, the world plunged into darkness. A massive black bone gate appeared between heaven and earth.

 This ancient gate, projected by a powerful spell, stood tall, and as it did, countless wails and screams echoed from within.

A giant bone claw then emerged from the gate, gripping the frame, unleashing a deathly aura that erupted in a torrent of malevolent spirits, circling around the outside of the gate.

 Within, a terrifying presence was crawling out.

It wasn't over.

The Ruler had clearly used the Three-Three Forbidden Array to trap Xu Qing and even opened this Ghost Gate to summon the so-called Heaven's Wrath.

However, a cold glint still flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and took out a purple incense stick.

The first beam of light was a shield that headed straight for the Ghost Gate in the sky. Its target was the Heaven's Wrath that had crawled out of the gate at this moment. At the same time, it was growing larger, as though it wanted to block the Ghost Gate.

14:26

The second beam of light was a huge pair of scissors, emitting the aura of a Great Emperor. It ruthlessly cut at the void between Xu Qing and the burning incense!

"Life-seizing incense burns, binding with your fate. When the incense extinguishes, so shall you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, this incense was suddenly lit.

At the next instant, Xu Qing seemed to have been cursed and his life started flowing away.

"I forgot to tell you that the reason why this old man was appointed by the clan to guard this spirit mine isn't because of how strong my cultivation is but because when I do things, my first consideration has always been stability."

In the air, the middle-aged Ruler calmly spoke.

"So, if you're still not going to use your trump card, then… you won't have a chance anymore!"

A sharp glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. At the next instant, a loud and clear sound suddenly rang out from the area enveloped by the array formations. Black flames bloomed like flowers and a Golden Crow soared into the sky from within, burning the aura of death and those malicious ghosts that spread over.

At the same time, three beams of light erupted from within!

The first beam of light was a shield that headed straight for the Ghost Gate in the sky. Its target was the Heaven's Wrath that had crawled out of the gate at this moment. At the same time, it was growing larger, as though it wanted to block the Ghost Gate.

The second beam of light was a huge pair of scissors, emitting the aura of a Great Emperor. It ruthlessly cut at the void between Xu Qing and the burning incense!

Cut off karma!

The third light was a sword light.

It wasn't Ninth Grandpa's sword but Xu Qing's Emperor Sword!

He held the Emperor Sword and slashed at the world, breaking through the countless array formations. He stirred up the power of the earth and used the Earth Depository move, heading straight for the middle-aged Ruler!

"This sword and this technique…"

The middle-aged Ruler's eyes narrowed and he suddenly retreated. At the same time, his heart boiled.

"Human race's supreme treasure!"
