Chapter 439 - 439 Litu Sect's Daughter

439 Litu Sect’s Daughter

At that moment, a rumbling sound echoed in the sky, resounding through the nine heavens. The battle between the two clones of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy and the three Sword Holder Elders sent terrifying aftershocks everywhere.

Moreover, the battle wasn’t limited to this place. They headed straight for the as they fought.

Both sides had no time to care about anything on the ground, let alone be distracted.

As one of the three souls of the Ghost Emperor, although Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy was only at the first stage of Nihility, her extraordinary background caused her combat strength to be astonishing, comparable to the peak of the first stage.

What was even more exaggerated was that she possessed undying characteristics. Unless the three souls and seven spirits died at the same time, her life force would be endless.

This was also the reason why the Sword Holding Court didn’t attack the Three Spirits back then. These three were very difficult to deal with.

However, today, the Sword Holding Court had arrived with the intention of winning. With three Sword Holder Elders attacking together, Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy was instantly disadvantaged. She had no choice but to pull and fight at the highest point in the sky, unable to pay attention to the ground.

On the ground, the instant Xu Qing and the captain rushed toward the clone’s nose, on their right, dozens of feet away from the clone’s head, the red-clothed woman gritted her teeth and crawled.

She saw the actions of the two people who had beaten her to it and felt extreme disgust in her heart. In reality, after she came out of the cave abode, because she had gained very little, she planned to go elsewhere to take a look when she saw Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s clone fall.

After seeing the strangeness of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s clone, she didn’t hesitate to rush over. Her target was also the head.

According to the information she had, the clones of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy were all spirit plants, and the essence of such existences was in their heads.

“These two people are using disguises, so I can’t see their true appearances or which faction they belong to.” The red-clothed woman’s gaze was cold. She gritted her teeth and the evil ghost scythe emitted a black light.

The evil ghost’s eyes opened, emitting an eerie light.

With the enhancement from the scythe, the red-clothed girl’s speed became even faster and she got closer.

However, she was still too slow.

Xu Qing and the captain had already withstood the pressure and crawled to the nose of the clone.

Because this clone was too large and tall, Xu Qing and the captain were like two small worms on its face.

At that moment, the two of them were standing on two sides of the clone and absorbing with all their might. Beside them were two huge nostrils that were as tall as a person.

The captain was absorbing crazily. He held the nasal ala and the bizarre face that appeared in his pupils opened its eyes.

A ferocious suction force spread out from every pore on his body and he absorbed with all his might.

The nasal ala he was absorbing gradually turned gray.

Xu Qing wasn’t going to be outdone. His eyes revealed a sharp glint. As he lifted his right hand, he circulated the Bizarre Nether Dao Snatching Art, causing his right hand to instantly turn transparent and press down on the nasal ala in front of him.

Although his hand couldn’t penetrate completely, it still passed through about an inch.

Boundless immortal energy gushed into Xu Qing’s body. The shadow and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor were clearly not unfamiliar with this scene. At this moment, they were both excited and spread out.

The shadow directly covered the skin at the side. As for the Diamond Sect’s ancestor… He was clearly anxious because he had boldly said in front of Xu Qing that he would break through in three months. Hence, he directly flew into the nostrils of the clone…

Xu Qing swept his gaze over with a strange expression but he didn’t bother with him. At that moment, the skin under his clothes was burning. The tattoo of Golden Crow Refines All Life shone and the Golden Crow inside opened its eyes.

However, Xu Qing did not release the Golden Crow. Instead, it flowed down his arm and entered the nasal ala, absorbing it.

As the joyous cry of the Golden Crow echoed in Xu Qing’s mind, the Golden Crow tattoo on his skin that no one could see under his clothes moved. There were no longer 13 tails but 17.

After the Golden Crow devoured Miemeng, it had 13 tails. Later on, after the battle with Saintly Star, the Golden Crow advanced to the second level. Its main change at that time wasn’t its tail but the change in its body and essence, so it didn’t gain any more tail.

However, after advancing, its strength increased extremely quickly. Now, 17 tails covered the skin on Xu Qing’s upper body. Even though his shirt was covering his body, the heat still spread out.

A sharp glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He controlled the Golden Crow to absorb with all its might.

In an instant, the nasal ala in front of him also turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye. With such majestic power gushing in, the third Heavenly Palace in Xu Qing’s body rapidly turned corporeal.

Before this, more than half of his third Heavenly Palace had materialized. Now that this dense immortal Qi surged in, it instantly reached 90%. It was infinitely close to 100% and was only a trace away!

This was the limit of turning illusory into reality.

The last trace required one to form a golden core and put it in. As for the golden cores of the Golden Core cultivators, every one of them was particular. One had to think of a way to form them in advance.

Generally speaking, external objects were a direction. Many Golden Core cultivators would choose external objects as their golden cores. After using external objects as cores and placing them in the Heavenly Palace, the external objects could become their intrinsic treasure.

For example, Xu Qing’s life lanterns were an example of this.

Forming a golden core was also a direction. This method was mostly imprinted with one’s cultivation art. Once it was successful, it could increase the might of one’s cultivation art or spell greatly.

Hence, the choices of every Golden Core cultivator were different.

Xu Qing’s plan was to use the Poison Restriction Pill as his golden core and suppress it in this third Heavenly Palace.

However, there were too many people here at this moment, so it wasn’t convenient for him to take out the Poison Restriction Pill. Hence, after pondering for a moment, Xu Qing tried to fuse the immortal Qi he had absorbed into the fourth Heavenly Palace. However, he quickly came to a realization.

The immortal Qi could not enter the fourth Heavenly Palace as though there was a membrane separating them.

The immortal Qi could only gather outside the fourth Heavenly Palace and continue to accumulate. However, it couldn’t fuse.

Clearly, the advancement of the Heavenly Palaces needed to be done step by step. Only by completing one could he go to the second one.

Otherwise, it would be purely illusory.

However, this was not an issue. Although he couldn’t fuse it immediately, it was piled up in his sea of consciousness. After the Poison Restriction Pill was placed in the third Heavenly Palace, he would fuse this immortal Qi into the fourth Heavenly Palace.

He continued to absorb, causing the immortal Qi in his sea of consciousness to become denser and denser. However, soon after, a scene that surprised Xu Qing appeared.

As he continued to absorb and the immortal Qi in his sea of consciousness grew denser, the Ghost Emperor Mountain imitation in his sea of consciousness suddenly shook. A huge suction force emitted from it like a whale swallowing, instantly absorbing the surrounding immortal Qi.

As it absorbed, the figure of the Ghost Emperor Mountain shone even more. In fact, a blurry outline even appeared on the face that had no facial features.

As for this outline… Xu Qing recognized it at a glance. It seemed to be his own face.

However, it was still very blurry now and he wasn’t very sure.

This caused Xu Qing to be bewildered, but now wasn’t the time to think too much. After pondering for a moment, he did not give up on absorbing.

Very soon, the nose of the clone that his right hand touched became increasingly gray and the grayness spread in all directions. The immortal Qi he absorbed also flowed endlessly into the Ghost Emperor Mountain.

Vaguely, this Ghost Emperor Mountain gave Xu Qing a very special feeling. It seemed to be different from the real Ghost Emperor Mountain he had seen before.

Although it came from there, after being nourished by him, this Ghost Emperor Mountain seemed to have separated and become independent… Most importantly, this Ghost Emperor Mountain seemed to be about to turn corporeal and was inextricably linked to him.

This discovery caused Xu Qing’s heart to tremble. He decided that he would ask his master what kind of change was this.

While Xu Qing was pondering, the captain was also crazily absorbing it. Very soon, the nose of the clone turned gray and spread in a large area.

At the same time, the woman in red finally reached the head. She coldly glanced at Xu Qing and the captain before immediately lying between the brows of the clone and absorbing the energy.

Her absorption was also extremely rapid. The evil ghost on the scythe manifested. As it assisted in the absorption, a phantom image appeared behind the woman in red.

That image was of a blood lake.

The appearance of this blood lake sent astonishing killing intent and baleful aura to the surroundings, as though the blood in it contained indescribable evil.

Almost at the instant it appeared, Xu Qing looked over. The Golden Crow in his body also emitted a ferocious light at this moment, locking onto the blood lake behind the woman.

“An emperor-level cultivation art. From the fluctuations, it’s not at the first level but at the second level!” The Golden Crow’s reaction immediately enlightened Xu Qing. The captain at the side also quickly lifted his head and his eyes revealed a strange glint as he spoke softly.

“The Litu Sect is filled with members of all races and believes in different ancient sovereigns and rulers. Rumors have it that a Fate Arbiter had descended from the holy land countless years ago and bestowed different emperor-level cultivation art inheritance seeds to the nine branches of the Litu Sect.”

“However, the requirements for comprehension are extremely harsh. Only very few people can successfully inherit them. Among them, the inheritance from Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether is called the Nether World Blood Sea Path. There’s something special about this power. It’s not unique and it allows the cultivator to offer sacrifices to the holy land, allowing for rapid improvements. The process of each sacrificial offering gets increasingly harrowing to the point of possible death!

The woman in red coldly glanced at the captain but didn’t say anything. She continued to absorb.

The captain narrowed his eyes and sped up his absorption. Xu Qing was the same.

Just like that, the three of them went crazy on the face of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s clone. Very soon, the face turned increasingly gray from the nose and the glabella. After they connected, the entire face of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy turned gray, like the face of a dead person.

In fact, there were even signs of blackening in some places.

Seeing this, Xu Qing decided to stop. He felt that leaving right now was okay, but if this continued, once the face of this clone turned black, it would be too conspicuous.

At the thought of this, Xu Qing lifted his head and looked at the captain. After giving him a look, he was about to leave.

When the captain saw Xu Qing’s gaze and glanced at the red-clothed girl who was still absorbing, he thought to himself that he wouldn’t be the one taking the blame this time.

Hence, he let go of the clone’s nose. Under the repulsion force, his body suddenly rolled into the distance. Xu Qing was about to stop resisting as well but at that moment…

Suddenly, a wisp of golden light spread out from the gray face of the clone. It was a drop of golden blood.

“Nihility Dao Blood!!” The captain, who was being thrown away by the repulsion force, cried out involuntarily when he saw this scene. He looked crazy as he tried to rush over, but it was obvious that he couldn’t do it in a short period of time.

Xu Qing’s mind also trembled. The Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness was also trembling intensely at this moment, as though it was attracted by this drop of golden blood.

The red-clothed woman’s breathing was also hurried and her eyes revealed a sharp glint. Her body swayed and she suddenly leaped up, heading straight for the golden blood.

Although her speed was fast, Xu Qing was even faster.
