Chapter 422: The Killing Returns to Oneness, and the Outside World Is in Turbulence
Ji Jingqiu's words forced all the Heavenly Kings into a desperate situation.
They came with a large force, but in the end they were subdued by one man. When the news got back, the embarrassment was the least of their worries.
"This person's Dao power, with the blessing of the killing calamity, has firmly stood at the second level."
The middle-aged Taoist nun said,"This is without the blessing of magical powers, so the strength of his attack is beyond imagination. We haven't completed the evolution of the magical power of creation yet, so we are no match for him."
Qian took over the conversation: "Not only that, the most important thing is that he can also gather the great forces of heaven and earth in one body. This battlefield is equivalent to his 'small world'. We are inherently at a disadvantage. I don't recommend continuing this battle. Ji Jingqiu is obviously not swept away by the killing calamity."
"Don't fight, just kneel down, surrender and wait for death?" Jiang Wanjing said coldly.
"Maybe we can sit down and talk." Qian said.
"The prerequisite for sitting down and talking is to finish the fight first, not to surrender first." Jiang Wanjing interrupted impatiently.
Qing Zhou retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "I can no longer sense Luo Sheng's fate."
Although everyone had expected this, they were still shocked when they heard this.
A Heavenly Lord at the same level as them... just died like that?
"After this battle, what do you [Ephemeral Palace] have to say? Do you want to stop?" Jiang Wanjing asked coldly.
Qing Zhou was silent for a moment and said, "There is no hope of victory. If we fight to the death, who will die first, you or me?"
After these words were spoken, Jiang Wanjing, who had been fighting all along, fell silent.
"Retreat." The middle-aged Taoist nun suddenly said, "This is the best choice. If you continue to fight just for pride, I will not accompany you."
"You mean, escape?" Jiang Wanjing said expressionlessly.
“Is there a better option?”
The middle-aged Taoist nun spoke and pointed to the distance.
They communicated privately through their minds and spirits in just the blink of an eye, but even in such a short period of time, there was already quite a commotion among the kings who had gathered from various families.
There were even some people who were not particular about details and, under the pressure of Ji Jingqiu's momentum, half-knelt down to show their submission.
Jiang Wanjing snorted coldly:"This bunch of rubbish can't help at all. They have no right to intervene in this battle."
"It's a pity that Senior Brother Zhang Yuan and his men seem to be on another battlefield, otherwise he wouldn't be able to act so arrogantly..."
If the kings risked their lives, Ji Jingqiu would also have a headache. Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant, let alone a group of kings.
But the price is that no one knows how many people will die in the process.
After witnessing Ji Jingqiu suppress the two Heavenly Kings by himself, expecting them to voluntarily "die" is nothing but a pipe dream.
The senior brother Zhang Yuan he mentioned is a top-notch Heavenly Lord who has mastered the complete Hongmeng magical power. He is completely different from the imprint in the mist of time.
The middle-aged Taoist nun said calmly: "It's too late now. There are still two calamity fetuses rushing here to die. When the killing calamity is unified, his strength - even if Zhang Yuan and Tianyan come, they will also die."
This time, Jiang Wanjing had nothing to say. For a moment, it seemed that he also agreed to the suggestion of escape.
"Where to escape?" Kun asked. "Run away in all directions and try your luck? I'm afraid he will kill us one by one."
"Either flee back, or flee deeper into the Chaoxia Mountain Dojo and find a place filled with restrictions, where Ji Jingqiu will also be wary."
"What should we do with these people?" Qu Chengyang suddenly asked.
They gathered their men and led them to attack, but now they abandoned their men and fled. If this got out, how would they gain a foothold in the future? What would the elders in the sect think of them?The middle-aged nun sighed and said, "If you stay, you will either die or kneel down and surrender, which is no different from running away."
Jiang Wanjing said grimly: "This man is caught up in the killing calamity and will go crazy sooner or later. These fools who surrender will eventually die in his hands."
Qian suddenly said: "We two brothers and sisters will not leave. I want to try to communicate with Ji Jingqiu and persuade him to suppress the killing calamity."
These words immediately attracted strange looks from everyone.
The middle-aged Taoist nun was silent and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you two to help us delay it."
Qu Chengyang hesitated for a moment, thinking that since the other party had saved Junior Brother Ning, he might be able to use this relationship to ease the situation with the other party?
It's just that the situation changed too quickly...
Not long ago, Junior Brother Ning still needed to be sheltered under his wings, but now the situation has been reversed.
While he was hesitating, the middle-aged Taoist nun, Jiang Wanjing and Qingzhou had already turned around and split up, rushing into the groups of Heavenly Kings of each family, taking in their friendly fellow disciples or subordinates into the inner world, and fled to the deeper part of the Chaoxia Mountain Taoist temple.
At first, seeing the three Heavenly Lords rushing over together, the Heavenly Kings of each family were a little flustered, thinking that they were going to be dragged into a fight together.
But the next moment, they saw the three Heavenly Kings running towards the depths of the Taoist temple without any reluctance, as if they had abandoned them, which was shocking.
They didn't know whether they should be thankful that they were not being pulled to their deaths, or panic at being abandoned and left behind.
The hearts of the various heavenly kings were throbbing, and they couldn't help but look at Ji Jingqiu who was blocking the fog of time. Feeling the murderous aura emanating from the other party, they felt creepy, and a chill rose from their tailbone and spread from their spine to the back of their head, with horror mixed with awe.
The strong deserve respect everywhere.
Ji Jingqiu looked at the three people's fleeing backs and did not chase them immediately. Instead, his eyes fell on Qu Chengyang and Qiankun siblings and asked:"Why do ants try to survive, but the Heavenly Lord doesn't know how to cherish his life?"
The three of them looked stern. What did this sentence mean?Are they the ones who don't know how to cherish their lives, or are they Jiang Wanjing and the other two who chose to escape?
Qian's gaze fell behind Ji Jingqiu and he was shocked.
I don’t know if it was because of Ji Jingqiu or for some other reason, but the mist of time was slowly dissipating.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, it seems that you are not caught up in the disaster?" Qu Chengyang bowed and asked politely.
He had not put in much effort in the battle just now, and he felt that he should be able to say a few words - well, mainly because he had just been promoted to the rank of Heavenly Sovereign, and his foundation was not stable, and his creation-level magical power was suppressed by the opponent with a wave of his hand.
Ji Jingqiu ignored Qu Chengyang.
As for Jiang Wanjing and the other two who chose to escape to the depths of the Taoist temple, they were just trapped in a jar. He did not pay much attention to them, but turned around and looked behind him.
After he entered the mist of time and fought one-on-one against the enemy, the mist of time began to dissipate.
And as he used the power of the sea of suffering to dissipate it, it dissipated even faster.
So not only him, but also Qu Chengyang and Qiankun, the brother and sister, could clearly sense that a figure was cutting through the vast starry sky like a meteor, rushing towards this direction.
Is it a calamity or a master's sword? !The Qiankun siblings looked at each other, their hearts pounding.
Ji Jingqiu felt something in his heart, and looked up at the infinite height thoughtfully.
He now suspected that Chaoge was paying attention to this battlefield all the time and was pushing all this to happen.
In the midst of doubt and uncertainty, Qiankun and his sister, as well as Qu Chengyang, suddenly heard Ji Jingqiu say:"Tell me, how long will it take for me to kill him and then hunt down the three people who escaped?"
Qian said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know why Brother Ji was not caught up in the killing calamity, please think twice before you act. When the killing calamity returns to one, the 'will of heaven' will become even more powerful and cannot be stopped by human power!"
Ji Jingqiu has turned around, his figure is as tall as a mountain, he has the power of heaven and earth. Wherever his eyes look, heaven and earth move, ripples in the void spread, sweeping into the distance.
"Are you so impatient? Are you urging me to kill the calamity and return to oneness as soon as possible?"
In the distance, as the figure got closer, one could already feel the equally undisguised murderous intent surging towards him.
Around that figure, there was a scene of the destruction of heaven and earth. Everything was decaying. The universe was filled with black snowflakes. All things were destroyed and all the worlds were decaying.
"Master's sword...?"
Qian suddenly changed color.
The person who came was actually Master Dao? !Master Dao killed two Tribulation Fetuses by himself, and then merged the Tribulation Fetus's evidence into one? !How could he choose to merge the evidence of the fetal calamity with the killing calamity? This is to destroy his own future!
unless……
Feeling the invisible murderous intent and deadly intention coming from the front, it seemed as if an invisible flying knife could explode from any place.
Qian's heart sank suddenly.
The Master's Sword... was infected and controlled by the killing calamity? !Between heaven and earth, a blade light flashed dimly, as if it was shot out from the underworld, stirring up murderous intent in the sky, drawing an arc of trajectory that was in line with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, appearing in everyone's perception.
This ray of dark knife light just appeared in everyone's perception in the previous second, and the next moment it came to Ji Jingqiu's face, pointing directly at his eyebrows!It seems to have locked fate and time and space!"Be careful!" Qian shouted subconsciously.
Compared to the master's sword that has been caught up in the murderous calamity, Ji Jingqiu is more suitable for cooperation!
But this knife... was extremely fast and sharp!
Qian was terrified. Even Ji Jingqiu, who was said to have just entered the Heavenly King realm, had reached his current level under the blessing of two killing calamities. He was originally the Heavenly King's Master Sword... What heights would he reach? !
"pity……"
Qian suddenly heard Ji Jingqiu's regretful whisper.
He looked at Ji Jingqiu.
What is this person regretting?But in front of Ji Jingqiu's eyebrows, a small and exquisite flying knife full of murderous intent was caught by his two fingers.
Although the flying knife stopped, the murderous intent contained in it remained as strong as ever.
Qian suddenly realized what Ji Jingqiu was regretting.
Can the Master Sword control this overwhelming murderous intent? !
Once Master Dao completely fell into the killing calamity, even if he was blessed by the killing calamity and his hard power was greater than Ji Jingqiu's, it would be difficult for him to resist him.
"In this world, there are always people who are obsessed with power that they cannot control, but they are ultimately enslaved by it and suffer backlash."
Ji Jingqiu spoke in a gloomy tone as he thought of his own past. There was once a lost man named Li Buyi who tried to take the Bodhi tree from him, but was eventually retaliated against.
"No matter how strong the power is, it must be controlled by oneself, especially... external forces."
Ji Jingqiu whispered.
This sentence is also said to myself.
He had been restraining himself so as not to be taken advantage of by the killing calamity, but now, the other two killing calamities merged into one and were "delivered" to him.
"You really can't hold on much longer?"
Qian, Kun and the other two suddenly heard Ji Jingqiu say this inexplicably.
Faced with a powerful enemy, Ji Jingqiu was a little dazed.
Even if the killing calamity returns to one, it is still far from enough to kill Chaoge. What is the latter planning?The most important thing is, do you want to continue along this path?Under the pressure of the thought that locked onto him, Ji Jingqiu came back to his senses with a calm expression. Now that he had embarked on this path, there was no reason to turn back.
Moreover, this path could really save him countless years of accumulation and allow him to see the road ahead in advance.
There is nothing easy on the path of spiritual practice.
The sound of a knife ringing resounded through the void, a bright knife light broke through the air, and the second flying knife slashed towards Ji Jingqiu!The blade pierced through the boundless void in just a moment!With this knife, even though they were not the main target, everyone still felt their scalps tingling, and Qu Chengyang was among them.
If the target of this knife is him... he will die!This sword strike faintly surpasses the level of a Heavenly Monarch!Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
"【Supreme Tribulation-Slaying Flying Knife】!" Kun blurted out, "He has actually already built it!"
"It turns out that there is such a flying knife technique in this world."
Ji Jingqiu was also generous in his praise. He took a step forward, and the heaven and earth turned upside down. A cold, vast, and murderous will pressed down between heaven and earth.
"It's a pity that I lost my mind and became a puppet of the killing calamity."
Ji Jingqiu's eyes were fixed on the figure coming from afar."I will use my newly created 'divine power of opening the heavens' to save you from the invisible killing calamity."
Hearing these words, Qu Chengyang and others were shocked. Ji Jingqiu had really completed the construction of the magical power of creation!
As the second flying knife broke, the figure that had been infected and controlled by the killing calamity let out a sharp roar, and six flying knives circled around his fingertips, directly piercing through the void and locking onto Ji Jingqiu's six vital points.
Kong Xiao held up the five-colored divine light and evolved the scene of the creation of the world, but it was easily pierced by the flying knife, as if it were made of paper.
“The Supreme Tribulation Slashing Flying Knife…” Qian whispered, “Unfortunately, it has been infected by the Tribulation Force, and the name Tribulation Slashing Flying Knife is well deserved.”
The murderous aura contained in these six flying knives is enough to kill any Heavenly Lord with one blow, but they lack the true meaning of cutting off the calamity.
He could roughly guess what Master Dao wanted, but unfortunately he was ultimately unable to resist the infection of the killing calamity...
Qian couldn't help but look at Ji Jingqiu, full of confusion.
The fetus of killing calamity fused with the master's sword should be the same as Ji Jingqiu's, that is, two copies. However, even the master's sword, who is a Heavenly Monarch and practices [Supreme Tribulation], cannot withstand it. How can Ji Jingqiu ignore the influence of the killing calamity?
Six flying knives came at the same time, and the power they brought was enough to make the sky and the earth pale.
A hint of white appeared in front of Ji Jingqiu, just like the scene in the battle with Kong Xiao.
He broke through to the peak of the Heavenly King with the help of the killing calamity, and did not have enough time to complete the construction of the Heavenly Creation Divine Ability. At the moment, he only had some ideas and insights after the battle with Kong Xiao.
Kong Xiao's feathers exploded all over his body, and he felt a deadly danger rising from the bottom of his heart.
He could sense that this moment was very different from that day.
“Although it’s incomplete, it’s worth a try.”
Ji Jingqiu's mumbling echoed in Kong Xiao's ears.
The latter was alert. This guy only had a preliminary idea, and he dared to use it to deal with Master Dao? !Aren't you afraid of overturning?For Ji Jingqiu, there is no possibility of failure in this battle.
Because at this moment, he can feel the favor of God from the infinite heights.
It was like he was chosen among millions of people, with no other option.
Even the unknown Heavenly Lord in front of him was just a "nutrient" given to him by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Combined with the future secrets revealed by the Death Demon before coming here, Ji Jingqiu has already guessed part of the truth.
Since Chaoge wants him to become the master of the killing calamity and respond to the annihilation calamity so much, he will do as Chaoge wishes. He also wants to see if he can really... kill Chaoge with a sword!A bright white spot was spinning inside like a whirlpool or a bottomless black hole, attracting everything between heaven and earth, including time, space and destiny.
The six flying knives shot closer and were like being stuck in a quagmire, moving forward with difficulty, attracted by Bai Yi's gravity that was like the deep ocean!This little bit of meaning is Ji Jingqiu's way of being a king.
It is the one that is obtained from exhausting all changes in the myriad things, and it is also the one that gives birth to all things and encompasses everything.
At the same time, it is also the foundation for him to step into the Eight Realms in the future and the biggest obstacle in creating the world.
This meaning is the "universe of heaven and earth" that he will open up in the future, which includes all things and principles.
In a sense, his magical power of creation can only be used completely once before he is promoted to the eighth level.
It was this time that he laid the foundation for becoming the Heavenly Venerate and entered the Eight Realms.
He didn't have time to improve it in depth at the moment. After all, his current realm was borrowed from the Killing Tribulation, but it was equivalent to an early attempt.
When Ji Jingqiu exerted his full strength, the white intention that seemed as tiny as a meson gradually evolved into boundless, endless, invisible and formless.
This is——
Promise.
All things return to one, and the original beginning is visible.
Six flying knives suddenly flew into the white intention and disappeared without a trace.
When the white meaning is blazing to its extreme, the brilliant light from it illuminates the heaven and earth, interpreting the birth and death of all things. Time, destiny, the two yin and yang, the four images, the five virtues... are all contained therein.
Ji Jingqiu seemed to have realized something and found an important flaw in this magical power in this first attempt!
In an instant, he pushed this incomplete divine power of creation to the extreme. He pointed with one finger, as if pushing a vast universe, rumbling past, boundless and immeasurable, without birth or death!
The vast and majestic power of Tao is like a huge wave hitting the shore. It has already reached the second level of power of Tao, and with the blessing of magical powers, it is advancing by leaps and bounds again!……
……
"Chao Ge, the Dao struggle is not over yet? How long can you hold on?"
In the deep sky, figures are like bright lighthouses in the vast ocean, illuminating the desolate darkness.
The figures of the saints stand in the depths of the starry sky. During the past ten years, more and more latecomers have rushed here, trying to get a piece of the pie, but they were repelled by the parties that arrived earlier.
These latecomers did not leave, but lurked in the sea boundary, looking at this place from afar, waiting for the perfect opportunity to take action.
As soon as this realm shows signs of collapse, or as soon as Chaoge dies, they will join forces to muddy the waters and fish in troubled waters.
As more and more powerful people arrived, the various families in the realm became restless.
Among these people, they even found the figure of [Taiyi]!
Zhaoge slowly opened his eyes and said lightly:"How can a Dao dispute end so easily? For example, in Tianzun's Dao dispute area, only a few battles broke out in ten years. Your disciples are more sinister than each other, and they really follow you."
These words left the True Saint, who had spoken frankly earlier, speechless and ashamed.
Before, with Chaoge's permission, they had contacted disciples of several Taoist temples, conveyed information, and learned some intelligence.
Things were relatively normal within the Heavenly Kings’ Dao Dispute, with endless fighting, with more than a third of the Heavenly Kings dying in it a few years ago, and wars between the various families occurring more than once.
But the place where Tianzun's Dao is fought over is difficult for all parties to describe. Each of them is more chaotic than the other, and fighting rarely breaks out. According to Chaoge, there have not been many battles there until now.
"Let's take the battle of the King of Heaven as the result." The supreme powerful man of Jie Tian Sect said.
The group of strong men nodded slightly. If they dragged on any longer, the situation would only become more chaotic.
Chaoge's eyes moved slightly, and he witnessed a certain ending, and replied calmly:"As you wish."
Hearing Chaoge's agreement, all parties breathed a sigh of relief.
This confrontation has lasted long enough, it's time to end it.
Nie Shanlan, who was standing next to Zhi, transmitted his voice: "After so long, Shi Dao, Tian Yan and the others should have captured Ji Linyuan and Ji Jingqiu."
Zhi nodded slightly: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be so, but [Ephemeral Palace] and [Zhenzhen Temple] are not easy to deal with either."
"I wonder what results my disciples can achieve in this Dao Contest." Nie Shanlan glanced at other sects and frowned, "Luo Sheng and Qing Zhou from [Ephemeral Palace], Kong Xiao and Qian Kun from [Huanzhen Temple], and even Jiang Wanjing and Zhang Yuan from [Starry Sky Tower]... They are not easy to deal with."
Then he looked towards Chaoge:
"How this Dao dispute is resolved is up to Chaoge, but with Master Dao and Tianyan here, my Jietian Sect won't be at a disadvantage."
"In fact, I no longer care about the result this time. I only care about whether they can take down Ji Jingqiu."
At this point, Zhi's tone became more serious, hinting at coldness: "I hope Shi Dao and Tian Yan can obey orders this time."
Nie Shanlan said quickly: "Brother Zhi, don't worry. Even if they don't take action, they can easily capture a junior who has just entered the Heavenly King realm by sending a random subordinate."
"That's how it should be." Zhi nodded slowly.
……
The camp of [Mayfly Palace].
"Brother, you are sitting so peacefully, aren't you worried about the safety of your disciples?"
A chubby True Saint looked at Wuyazi who was meditating in seclusion with a half-smile and said,
"Brother, you are about to face the great tribulation of the True Saint, but you are still leaving the mountain gate to escort your disciples. This friendship is really very important."
Wuyazi opened his eyes and said calmly: "Junior brother, why don't you pay attention to your disciples? Who knows, you may not be able to come back this time."
The round-bodied True Saint named Lu Guang laughed and said, "My disciple has already been promoted to Heavenly Sovereign. Senior Brother, do you really think that your hidden means can do anything to my disciple?"
He shook his head, his eyes showing pity, and said, "Brother, didn't you see the power of the Heavenly Sovereign when you were young? Why do you still have such unrealistic fantasies?"
Wuyazi closed his eyes, too lazy to argue with this guy.
On the other side, a white-browed True Saint who also came from the [Mayfly Palace] raised his eyebrows slightly and sighed in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the struggle among the various sects in the mountain gate has become so fierce that it has destroyed the foundation of the palace. What exactly does the deputy palace master want to do?……
Chaoge looked around the room and said calmly, "If everyone has no objection, then the final result of this Dao Contest will be determined at the Heavenly King Dao Field."
In the Nether Realm, the Void Emperor sent a message to the Saints: "Be prepared, the war is about to begin. Chaoge will send us a signal."
Kong Laoyi pondered and said, "No matter what the outcome of the Heavenly King Battlefield is?"
Emperor Xu sighed, "You don't still expect us to come out on top, do you? With Chaoge's help, I have won half of the origin of this world, which makes me the best among all the saints. But if the Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation falls into the hands of other sects and they use it to pry open the origin of the Heavenly Dao, then we will be passive, so we have to strike first."
The saints nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.
Seeing that all parties had no objection, Chaoge lowered his eyebrows and said softly:"Then let me add fuel to the fire."
