Lightning kept descending from the vortex in the sky, landing on the blood cocoon.
The blood cocoon was shrinking.
Countless bolts of lightning descended like a waterfall, transforming into a pool of lightning on the ground. It flickered with resplendent light and its sound shook the world.
Its might surpassed the three lightning tribulations Xu Qing had faced in the past. It could even be said that any one of them now carried the power to destroy this world.
This was because the heir and the other three had used their authorities to forcefully attribute the heaven and earth of this realm to Xu Qing.
Along with this, the lingering might of the God Slaying Platform and the history witnessed by this place also belonged to him.
Its immense weight was what triggered such a startling scene.
The four of them also used the ruler bloodline they possessed to give Xu Qing the qualifications to possess the great divine art, the God Slaying Platform. This was an acknowledgment from their father, Li Zihua, toward Xu Qing, originating from the source of this divine art.
With this, Xu Qing was connected to the ruler.
As such, the heavenly tribulation's aura naturally became even more terrifying.
This was also the outcome that the heir and the others wanted. They wanted to make use of the primordial lightning tribulation to refine everything in this realm, continuously compressing the world here and imprinting it on Xu Qing's body.
This was a form of help.
Under this compression and push, Xu Qing could achieve twice the result with half the effort. He could use a shorter time and have a greater chance of success to truly master the God Slaying Platform.
Not only would it appear in his sea of consciousness, but it would also completely transform into his trump card.
However, to Xu Qing, this process was like refining his body and soul.
With the bombardment of the lightning tribulation outside, the world inside the blood cocoon collapsed and squeezed toward him.
His sea of consciousness rumbled and the phantom of the God Slaying Platform spread out.
The collision inside and outside caused Xu Qing's body to continue shattering and his mind to gradually wither. His 13 nascent souls were going all out.
The purple crystal played a crucial role at this moment. The healing power it emitted flowed like a clear spring, nourishing everything. At the same time, it allowed Xu Qing to bear an immense amount of pressure.
As such, his possibility of success naturally increased.
The lightning continued to descend and the blood cocoon shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xu Qing's body trembled, cracks appeared on his skin, and fresh blood flowed. The boundless lightning that penetrated the blood cocoon was refining everything inside. Combined with the immense pressure here, it sought to crush everything.
And with each reduction in the size of the blood cocoon, the world inside would collapse. The platform formed by the blade groove was the first to shatter amidst rumbling sounds.
It turned into endless dust that headed straight for Xu Qing.
Immediately after, the heavenly blade formed by the sky hanging high in the blood cocoon also collapsed, turning into fragments before being squeezed into dust. It also surged toward Xu Qing.
After that, the altar Xu Qing was on collapsed.
As for those chicks who had been thrown inside, they were all wailing now. They had somehow been connected to Xu Qing and became scapegoats.
Under this tremendous pressure, they were helping Xu Qing share the burden of life and death, and withered one by one.
Finally, as the blood cocoon contracted, everything here turned to ashes and was tainted by lightning, enveloping Xu Qing's surroundings.
The blood cocoon had also shrunk to less than 30 feet now. It shook violently, as though it would collapse at any moment.
The lightning continued to fall.
"I told him that Xinan's cruel order will only be activated when he succeeds, to make him even more determined to turn the God Slaying Platform into his trump card."
"However, Xinan's cruel order is being continuously activated."
The expressions of the heir and the other three became increasingly solemn as they stared at the blood cocoon. The captain and the others were also shocked as they watched everything from afar.
They were all waiting.
Time flowed by. An hour later, the vortex in the sky seemed to be connected to a lightning pool with an even larger range. It was like a hole, causing the lightning pool there to surge out endlessly.
The thunderbolts bolts covered the blood cocoon so densely that it couldn't even be seen clearly.
Only a hint of desolation was being faintly emitted, causing the people waiting outside to feel varying degrees of worry.
At this moment, a hint of killing intent suddenly rose from this desolation and instantly spread in all directions, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Everyone's hearts stirred and the vortex in the sky paused for a moment. A murmur slowly rang out from the blood cocoon.
"Ghost Emperor Mountain Becomes the slaying platform, D132's fortune becomes the blade groove!"
As soon as the voice came out, the cracks on the blood cocoon rapidly spread, as though a terrifying force was brewing inside.
"Heavenly Dao transforms into the blade's body and the Divine Curse Poison Restriction transforms into its edge. Morning glow shall be the blade light!"
As the second murmur echoed, the blood chrysalis rumbled and began to collapse.
"The Golden Crow is the connection, and the Purple Moon is the seal!"
"Containing with time…"
"Controlling and commanding with the Sundial life lantern…"
The murmurs were still echoing. Wu Jianwu, Ning Yan, and the others' faces were pale as they instinctively retreated. They could sense astonishing fluctuations rising from the blood cocoon.
This fluctuation seemed to contain a power of laws, causing the thunderbolts in the vortex in the sky to appear hazy as they landed.
This lasted until the last murmur echoed.
"At noon on the Sundial, heaven and earth shall be slashed together!"
The blood chrysalis directly exploded and a blade light formed from within with endless might and peerless killing intent.
The sky surged, the earth roared, and in the midst of the increasingly fragmented world, the mosasaur roared and turned into a colossal blade in mid-air.
This saber contained the intent of the boundless sky and the charm of slashing the Dao, achieving the status of a heavenly blade.
The power of the Poison Restriction rapidly gathered and formed the blade's edges that contained the pinnacle of Poison Restriction. Once slashed, it would not only carry its inherent power, but also harbored the curse of the Poison Restriction.
Next was the morning glow, forming a cold light on the blade. It could cut through all things, break all techniques, and transform into myriad spells!
The ground churned and the Ghost Emperor Mountain and D132 appeared. D132 formed a blade groove and the Ghost Emperor lifted its hands to lift the prison that was filled with the power of fortune, forming an illusory canyon.
Following that, the Golden Crow danced, connecting heaven and earth, while the Purple Moon extended its patterns across everything. The divine repository within it provided additional support.
After that, Xu Qing's five Sundials appeared in the sky and rotated. When the aura of the passage of time spread in all directions, the five needles paused in unison. All of them arrived at quarter to noon!
At the next instant…
One strike, slashed the sky!
It headed straight for the heavenly thunderbolts falling from the vortex in the sky.
It streaked across the sky!
It was as though the world had been split open!
The thunderbolts bolts broke, the lightning pool shattered, and the life tribulation… was slayed!
The world rumbled and the God Slaying Platform turned blurry. It rapidly gathered and finally transformed into a time bottle.
When this bottle landed, Xu Qing, who was walking over from the void, caught it and placed it in his palm.
Xu Qing's eyes were clear as he stared at this bottle. After a while, he kept the bottle and cupped his fists and bowed to the heir and the other three before speaking softly.
"Thank you, seniors, for helping me succeed!"
Ning Yan and the others lost their voices in horror. The captain's eyes revealed a strange glint, the heir and the other three smiled. Princess Mingmei suddenly spoke.
"Does your divine art have a name?"
Xu Qing lifted his head and looked at the distant world as he calmly spoke.
"Its name is… Noon Is Here!"
Princess Mingmei smiled and nodded. As she looked at Xu Qing with increasing admiration, the heir at the side coughed. His eyes were filled with approval as he slowly spoke.
"Not bad, but you can't be complacent. Your other nascent spirit still need to be polished. Only then can your trump card display its true strength."
"Now, have you thought about whether you should fuse the power of faith of all living beings here and turn it into your blade?"
As he spoke, the heir's gaze swept past the captain.
The captain coughed and waved his hand. Immediately, six white balls of light appeared in his hand.
These six balls of light carried the struggles and hope of all living beings in the Moon Worship Region. When one looked over, they could see countless faces.
They were the power of faith of all living beings that had gathered here and were taken away by the captain when Xu Qing was transcending the tribulation.
"Eldest Senior Brother should have other uses for them." Xu Qing looked at the captain and spoke in a low voice.
With his experience in doing big things with Eldest Senior Brother, he was very clear that Eldest Senior Brother's big things were often linked together. Everything before was clearly for the faith of all living beings.
Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, the captain was in high spirits. He had been feeling that the big thing this time was a bit off.
In the past, although Xu Qing was resplendent, he himself wasn't bad either. They had their own moments and were a peerless duo.
However, this time, he felt aggrieved.
The sealed place was opened by him, the script was choreographed by him, and the props were also prepared by him. However, the ultimate control was taken away by the heir and the others, and he still had to cooperate to perform.
That was fine, but halfway through the performance, Little Qing began to explode with brilliance…
It was fine if he erupted, but it didn't explode completely in one go. Instead, it came wave after wave. First, it was the ancient wind, then the God Slaying Platform, and then the ancient memory. When it finally ended, there was even such a thunderbolts tribulation.
When Erniu thought of this, he felt a little tired. He felt that being Little Qing's eldest senior brother wasn't easy.
"It's finally my turn!"
The captain took a deep breath and strode out. He arrived in the air and stood beside Xu Qing.
"Junior Brother, watch carefully. Next… is our true goal for this time's big thing!"
Xu Qing blinked and put on an expectant expression.
Noticing Xu Qing's expression, Chen Erniu felt smug in his heart. He lifted his head proudly and waved his right hand fiercely in front of him.
"Following the agreement made before the passage of time, using the faith power of all living beings as the guide, transforming it into a descending mark, laying out the path of divine spirits, piercing through the Gate of the Flame Moon!"
"High God Flame Moon, I'm here to call you!"
As soon as the captain finished speaking, the power of faith of all living beings in his hand flew up and rapidly circled in front of him. Finally, they fused together, forming a huge ring.
The ring rumbled as it rotated, as though it had opened up a passageway… a path that led to the resting place of another high god!
A trace of terrifying aura that was different from the Crimson Goddess spread from it.
Just a trace of it caused the expressions of the heir and the others to instantly change. The entire sealed place blurred and anomalous substances erupted here.
As for the outside world… the green sand desert underwent a sudden change.
