Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 979

Chapter 979 Unbelievable Rapid Increase in Strength

“Overconfidence is stupidity. If you are willing to surrender, I can ask Tong not to kill you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the space in front of Ding Hao distorted and the Fake God Emperor disappeared along with the dozen or so guards in an instant.

It was a shadow.

Ding Hao was a bit shocked.

Only then did he realize that the person who had talked to him was just an illusive image left by the Fake God Emperor a long time ago, but it was no different from a real person. Even his Mind Essential could not see through it at all. He didn’t find anything wrong in the entire process.

In the past 16 years, the Fake God Emperor dominated the God’s Palace and ruled over the Eastern Continent. The former peerless genius had too many cultivation resources, and his strength had reached an unimaginable level. He had recovered his original simplicity and was now close to the origin of the Great Tao.

Ding Hao could not tell what kind of realm the Fake God Emperor had reached.

It was not until the Fake God Emperor disappeared that Ding Hao breathed a deep sigh of relief. His back was covered with cold sweat. Although there was no power fluctuation, the pressure was everywhere, which made people extremely nervous.

In the past, no matter what kind of master Ding Hao faced, he never had such a feeling.

He turned to look at Yu Miejue, who also looked as if relieved from a heavy burden. This unscrupulous and cruel demoness from the Southern Land did not speak a word just now. Obviously, she had been under a lot of pressure.

In the whole process, the Fake God Emperor did not look at Yu Miejue. He did not even glance at the God-suppressing Seal that she had summoned. This was the domineering aura of a God Emperor. If it were anyone else, how could he not be tempted by a Divine Artifact like the God-suppressing Seal?

At this time, the sound of rocks shaking came from below.

Some masters had caught up.

“Let’s go.” Ding Hao glanced at Yu Miejue and continued to climb toward the main peak.

Not long after Ding Hao and the other two left the top of the minor peak, a few figures landed on the peak one after another. Just now, Ding Hao used all his strength to break the falling horrible huge peak, cutting it into two halves. In this way, he had saved many people behind and had opened a way out for others.

In the following half a day, they kept climbing up.

...

With Ding Hao’s strength, he had to have a rest one time after another. His whole body ached. The higher he climbed, the more terrible the gravity was. Ding Hao felt as if there was something weighing millions of kilos on his body. Every meter he climbed was a challenge.

Yu Miejue lagged behind and was 10 meters away from Ding Hao. There were strange dark cyan patterns on her exposed white forearms and ankles, which were like flowing ink. Faint roars of dragons and tigers were heard, as if the power of countless behemoths including divine dragons and white tigresses was boiling in her petite body.

She had performed this kind of Tattoo Beast Power before, which was extremely powerful.

Even then, Yu Miejue’s entire body was covered in sweat as she gasped rapidly for breath.

As for the old guide with messy hair, he was more than 100 meters behind Ding Hao. He was so tired that his tongue stuck out, and his speed became slower and slower. There were several times when he hesitated and almost turned around to go down. However, when he thought of the possibility of getting the immortal fate, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

Ding Hao looked up at the main peak. It seemed that the top of the peak was still far away.

“My current speed is almost as slow as a tortoise. If I continue like this, I am afraid that the Immortal Artifact will fall into the hands of people like the Fake God Emperor, who are ahead of me, before I reach the top of the peak... Even if my father has already taken action, I am afraid that the situation will become very dangerous.” Ding Hao was very anxious.

Gritting his teeth, he climbed up crazily without a moment’s rest.

Fortunately, the mountain wall here was no longer as steep as it was below, and it had become a gentle slope. Even if he was exhausted, he could lie on it and rest for a while, so that he would not fall off the mountain wall.

Ding Hao felt that his physical strength was about to be consumed to the limit.

He felt his limbs were swelling, which was caused by the overexertion of strength.

If Ding Hao had not integrated the Jade in Stone into his bones, his bones would have cracked when he climbed desperately. At this time, Ding Hao only felt that his whole body seemed to be cut by countless blades, and there seemed to be hot flames burning in the Qi channels in his body.

Ding Hao felt that fire would burst out of his mouth when he opened it.

He was about to reach his limit.

Even Yu Miejue was almost a kilometer behind Ding Hao.

As for the masters following behind her, they had to stop and recover their strength before climbing again.

“Could it be that this gravitational field is meant to test the willpower of the masters?”

Ding Hao had always felt that any strange thing that happened here had a mysterious purpose behind it. Everything including the Gold Divine Halls was to test all the creatures. This terrible gravitational field made Ding Hao think of the tactical deployment that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect adopted to test their perseverance and willpower when recruiting disciples.

“My bones are about to shatter...”

Ding Hao frowned. There were cracks on his skin and blood was oozing out.

If it went on like this, his flesh would probably shatter.

He frantically activated the Qi in his body to nourish his body to resist the terrible gravity. At this time, even Ding Hao himself did not expect a strange change to occur.

When the Heavenly Samsara Disc absorbed the immortal light released by the gold throne, the golden Immortal Qi as thin as a hair was kept in his Qi channels. It suddenly began to change in a strange way. Under the suppression of extreme gravity, it seemed to be burning and dissolving. Finally, it no longer rejected Ding Hao’s own Qi and showed signs of merging with it.

“This is...” Ding Hao was overjoyed.

He knew very well how terrifying the golden immortal light was. If he could integrate it with himself, his attack power would definitely increase sharply. Perhaps it would have a great effect on the breakthrough of the realm of his Qi cultivation.

When he thought so, he gave up the plan of resting for a while. He gritted his teeth and continued climbing.

Terrible gravity rolled over. Ding Hao could even hear the bones in his body creaking as they couldn’t bear the burden. In the cracking sounds, the muscles on the surface of his body cracked, and blood spurted out...

However, at this time, all of Ding Hao’s attention was focused on the gradually disintegrating and merging golden immortal light in his Qi channels.

The immortal light was burning, no longer aloof and cold like before. It dissolved little by little, merging with the Qi of the origin in Ding Hao’s Twelve Meridians and Six Strange Veins. The two kinds of Qi were tainted light golden in color.

It was a very magical process.

Ding Hao could even feel that the ice and fire Qi in his body was undergoing some incredible change. It was a qualitative upgrade and a leap in the attribute of power. The thin golden immortal light injected Ding Hao’s Qi of the origin with vitality that was almost like the rules...

Ding Hao climbed up the winding mountain road.

There was a long trace of blood and flesh left by Ding Hao on the road.

His flesh had begun to peel off. Pieces of flesh and blood fell off his body. The skin and flesh on his palms and feet had all peeled off, turning into blood mud. His white bones were revealed. With each step, large pieces of flesh and blood fell off his body...

This scene was very weird and horrifying. If Ding Hao took a few more steps, it seemed he would turn into a skeleton.

However, there was a cluster of faint golden light seeping out from the broken flesh.

The golden light was repairing Ding Hao’s broken body.

At first, the speed of repair was very slow, and it could not keep up with the speed of disintegration of Ding Hao’s flesh at all. The muscles on the surface of Ding Hao’s body had turned into blood mud and had fallen off his body. His internal organs were about to be revealed. At this time, the repair speed of the golden light finally gradually caught up with the speed of disintegration of his flesh...

It was a very fragile balance.

Blood mud continued to fall off Ding Hao’s body, but the next moment, flesh and blood regrew in the golden light. New flesh and blood were destroyed and fell off his body under the terrible gravity. Then, they grew out again...

This process was repeated again and again.

It was hard to imagine what kind of pain Ding Hao was enduring.

This process was definitely crueler than any cruel torture by the dismemberment of the body.

When Ding Hao integrated with the Jade in Stone, he experienced great pain as if his soul were scorched. Such a degree of pain could no longer defeat his willpower. When he looked up at the pure and holy immortal light on the top of the immortal peak, he could not stop going forward...

At this time, Ding Hao was moving forward, supported by the conviction in his heart and his breath.

His body kept reincarnating between life and death.

Flesh and blood fell off his body and regrew. The cycle repeated again and again until the repair power of the golden light gradually gained the upper hand. A kind of life power began to surge in his broken body like ocean waves.

Ding Hao’s body gradually became complete.

His clothes had long been torn into pieces and had turned into ashes. He walked barefoot on the mountain road. The disintegrated parts of his body gradually became fewer and fewer. The newly grown muscles were like jade. His skin was as smooth as that of a newborn baby, shining with a strange light like that of gold and jade.

This was a process of rebirth.

Gradually, the pain dissipated like a tide. Only then did Ding Hao find that the terrible gravity suppression had become lighter and lighter. It seemed that it would disappear completely.

The surface of his body was shining with a strange golden light.

It was a kind of immortal power similar to the golden immortal light.

Ding Hao was completely in a strange state. He activated the power in his Qi channels, and the Qi instantly burst out like a flood. Almost in an instant, the third aperture of the Twelve Meridians in the Martial Sage Realm was broken through...

Then, the twelfth aperture in the Yang Vein of the Six Strange Veins...

The fourth aperture in the Hand Sun Meridian of the Twelve Meridians...

The thirteenth aperture in the Yang Vein of the Six Strange Veins...

The fifth aperture in the Hand Sun Meridian of the Twelve Meridians...

The fourteenth aperture in the Yang Vein of the Six Strange Veins...

The speed of breaking through the Qi cultivation could astonish the whole world. Under the stimulation of the golden Immortal Qi, Ding Hao would break through a small realm of the Sage Realm when he took a step forward. Clusters of golden light turned into lotus flowers under Ding Hao’s feet. A lotus flower appeared when he took every step...

The appearance of a lotus flower on every step!

Ding Hao’s black hair was dancing like a waterfall, hanging down to his ankles. It was dense and pitch black. His body was naked and was shining with the luster of gold and jade. When he stepped on the lotus flowers with bare feet, he was like an immortal walking in the world. Every time he took a step, the power fluctuation on his body would grow stronger.

When he took the eighth step, his Qi cultivation completely reached the dual meridian eight-apertured Martial Sage Realm. The pale golden light on the surface of his body finally gradually faded away. His muscles returned to their normal color. They just looked quite fair...

He heaved a long sigh of relief.

With a stir of his mind, he took out some pieces of clothes from his Storage Ring and put them on.

He had never felt so powerful. Such feeling surged through every part of his body.

The terrifying gravity of the immortal peak no longer affected him in the slightest.

“This feeling is really wonderful.” Ding Hao was intoxicated. He looked back and opened the Martial Arts Third Eye between his eyebrows. He could see that creatures from all over the world below were still holding on with difficulty. Obviously, the terrible gravity suppression on them had not disappeared.

“I have integrated with the golden Immortal Qi, so I’m not affected by the gravity of the immortal peak?” thought Ding Hao.

The rapid increase of his Qi cultivation was completely beyond his expectation.

The golden Immortal Qi was as thin as a hair, but it had caused such a change in him. If he could absorb a bit more golden Immortal Qi at that time, wouldn’t he directly become a god?

Opportunities were indeed everywhere.

Unfortunately, the Immortal Qi released by the gold thrones was almost impossible to be absorbed by living creatures. He was barely able to collect a little bit of it into his body by relying on the strange function of the Heavenly Samsara Disc.

He looked back and saw that Yu Miejue and the old guide with messy hair did not encounter too much difficulty. Ding Hao thought for a moment, and then leaped dozens of meters high like lightning. He rushed toward the main immortal peak.

Now his speed was as fast as lightning.

Soon, he saw figures ahead of him.

It was those people.

He had finally caught up with them.
