Time flowed by.
Xu Qing wasn't in a hurry. Other than the first time he killed Ming Fei cleanly, the subsequent dozen or so times… were mainly about dissection and research.
The reasons for the ten or so deaths varied. Sometimes, Ming Fei died in the process of being studied.
Most of the time, it was because the poison Ming Fei spat out was too potent, tainting the surroundings and affecting Xu Qing's divinity, causing his research to encounter obstacles.
However, it didn't matter. Every time Ming Fei died, it would revive in dozens of breaths. This time was enough for Xu Qing to lure the other party's poison away with his soul threads.
This was the method he had thought of to temporarily neutralize Ming Fei's poison. Fei poison
After all, the poison targeted divinity. As the soul threads were formed from Xu Qing's divine source, they naturally contained Xu Qing's divinity.
Xu Qing's Poison Restriction continued to resist Ming Fei's poison.
Hence, more and more soul threads were tainted in the ruins, lingering in all directions.
Even so, Xu Qing's research continued.
Ming Fei's combat strength would increase every time it revived. Now that it had revived again, it erupted with combat strength comparable to the second stage of Nihility.
Its aura was imposing and its roar was like the roar of a god. Its poison was even more intense and it brought the plague with it…
However, the outcome was no different. No matter how much Ming Fei's combat strength increased, Xu Qing grabbed it again like before and brought it close.
He skillfully divided, dissected, and focused on his research.
Regarding learning and research, Xu Qing had always been very persistent and serious.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})This was fully shown by him when he was in the Seven Blood Eyes. The prisoners in the Homicide Department's prison were all witnesses.
These were also the important reasons why Xu Qing had his current attainments in the Dao of Poison.
At the end of the day, Xu Qing respected knowledge.
Just like at this moment, with a wave of his hand, the black spear pierced through Ming Fei's body, killing it who couldn't withstand the torture and was about to self-destruct.
"The structure of Ming Fei's body… is a little strange."
"However, I already know a thing or two about the way its poison is formed…"
Xu Qing mumbled and narrowed his eyes. As he fell into deep thought, he didn't forget to spread out his soul threads and lure away the poison inside and outside his body. After that, he stared at the place where Ming Fei had died and prepared to begin the next round of research.
This time, he wanted to study Ming Fei's soul.
However, at this moment, the fog in this world suddenly churned and raged like the sea. At the next instant, it headed straight for the place where Ming Fei had died. In the blink of an eye… Ming Fei appeared again.
The instant it appeared, the aura of a third stage Nihility cultivator rose from it. It swept up the fog and headed straight for Xu Qing with madness and hatred.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly as the black spear instantly shot out above his head. Seeing that it was getting close, Ming Fei, who had been killed many times by this spear, suddenly turned blurry and dodged the black spear. When it appeared, it was already in front of Xu Qing and was about to spit out poison mist.
However, at the next instant, the heavenly saber descended.
Ming Fei's body trembled and split into two, collapsing on the spot.
The moment he died, the Golden Crow behind Xu Qing rose up, emitting an ear-piercing cry. It then sucked fiercely at the collapsed Ming Fei.
Ming Fei was destroyed and the Golden Crow was at a loss.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Xu Qing frowned.
He could sense that no soul was absorbed by the Golden Crow.
His actions seemed to have violated some taboos. Hence, all of a sudden, the fog in this world became even more violent. The vortex in the sky also rumbled loudly in the blink of an eye.
In fact, bolts of lightning even swam between heaven and earth. The sky distorted and the ground quaked. A series of roars from the void appeared in the real world.
After that, the vortex in the sky suddenly exploded and a ten-thousand-foot-long Infernal Ming Fei walked out.
Regardless of whether it was its aura or body, it was far stronger than before. The moment it appeared, its roar was even more deafening, like the sound of the world being split open.
Before Xu Qing could make a move, it opened its mouth and sucked fiercely.
The fog in the entire world churned at this moment and came from all directions, heading straight for Ming Fei's mouth. In the blink of an eye, the world was cleansed and all the fog was absorbed by Ming Fei.
Its aura was filled with an imposing dignity.
Not only did it absorb the fog from the external world, but it also absorbed its own body.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, its 10,000-foot-long body also shriveled up as though it was being absorbed. At the next moment, its body withered and only the single eye on its face became increasingly resplendent. It shone with a dark light barrier and became the only focus of attention.
It stared at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing lifted his head and a strange glint appeared in his eyes.
"Not letting me study the soul…"
At the same time, the color of the world changed and the world was overturned. The aged voice of Qing Mu carried a hint of anxiety as it hurriedly echoed in Xu Qing's mind.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})"Little friend, your help has already had miraculous effects. However, you have to be careful. That evil spirit has already fallen into a desperate situation and has no choice but to send more power to fuse into its origin body to unleash its strongest innate divine power to suppress you."
"This is… the Five Filths of God!"
"Little friend, please stall for more time and exhaust its strength. My battle with it in the starry sky has reached a critical moment."
As Qing Mu's voice rang out, the sky rumbled. It was as though even more violent fluctuations were erupting in the starry sky outside the sky.
In an instant, the world swayed and began to collapse.
The ground shattered and irregular rubble rose into the air. The cracks in the sky were like mirrors and there were more and more patterns, about to shatter.
This world seemed to be facing a true doomsday at this moment.
For the first time, Xu Qing stood up from his cross-legged state on the slanted pagoda.
The instant he stood up, the vertical pupil of Ming Fei's single eye in the sky dissipated!
An incomparably evil and ancient power suddenly descended.
Accompanied by the faint Dao sound, it exploded in Xu Qing's mind.
"First Filth: Divine fire yields smoke. It inherently lacks smoke; the arising of smoke imparts impurity."
"Second Filth: Divine soul harbors desires. Divine soul naturally lacks desire; the arising of desire harbors mundane attachments, leading to loss of omniscience."
"The third Filth: Divine body can decline. Divine body naturally lacks decay; the arising of decay leads to corruption, devoid of eternity."
"The fourth Filth: Divine shrine is shrouded in dust. Divine shrine inherently lacks dust; the arising of dust obscures its brilliance, severing the incense flame."
"The fifth Filth: Divinity bears defilement. Divinity inherently lacks defilement; the arising of defilement lacks wisdom, disrupting the divine order."
These were the Five Filths of God.
As soon as the five Dao sounds rang out, Xu Qing's body trembled. There was no divine fire in his body but there were still signs of the first filth appearing, producing black smoke. It was as though contaminants had appeared out of thin air, giving off an impure feeling.
After that, his soul trembled and his seven emotions and six desires erupted uncontrollably, wanting to drown him like a tide. He lost all his senses.
Not only that, but his body also showed signs of aging. His vitality was dim and rotting.
Next was all the soul threads in his body. These threads formed by the divine source seemed to have replaced the shrine in the fourth filth. They were covered in dust and lost their radiance.
Finally, it was his divinity that erupted intensely. He couldn't control his human nature and bestial nature. It was as though his status was falling.
Even Xu Qing was shaken by this scene.
He could sense that this… was a poison specially targeted at gods!
After personally experiencing it, Xu Qing finally understood why Ming Fei was suitable to become his Poison Restriction Heavenly Dao.
This was because the God's Five Filths could perfectly combine with his God's Curse to form the sixth Filth.
A god's life bred curses. A god's life naturally lacked curses; the arising of curses severed life, extinguishing the divine source.
These thoughts instantly appeared in Xu Qing's mind. The ferocity of the Five Filths of God also erupted to the extreme in just a few breaths of time.
A dark glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. At the next instant, a rumbling sound rang out behind him and the image of a huge sundial suddenly appeared.
The gnomon on it spun as though it had opened the path of time, fluctuating the long river of time, causing the waves five breaths ago to dissipate on the long river.
Time… reversed with the gnomon!
The black smoke contaminants produced by the first filth in Xu Qing's body instantly dissipated.
The turbulence of the soul and the emergence of the seven emotions and six desires also instantly subsided, and the lost five faculties and six senses became entirely clear.
The aging of his body reversed and he no longer rotted.
The soul threads in his body were no longer covered in dust and their brilliance rose again.
Divinity, human nature, and bestial nature were rebalanced.
Everything seemed to have gone back in time and returned to before he suffered the five Filths. However, after the sundial dissipated, Xu Qing frowned.
He discovered that although the sundial reversed time and allowed him to recover, it couldn't reverse the Five Filths of God.
The source of the Five Filths still existed.
However, it no longer erupted but gathered into a lump, as though it was accumulating strength. One could imagine that it wouldn't be long before it spread throughout his body again.
Xu Qing had a lot of experience in dealing with poison. Regardless of whether it was forcefully ordering the shadow to devour it, luring it into the body of the god's finger, or opening the gate of the Ancient Spirit Emperor to vent the poison, he could try it.
He could even use the method he used to deal with the god's curse back then. With the sundial, his body would produce appropriate antibodies time and time again to slowly withstand this poison.
However, Xu Qing didn't choose any of these methods. His choice was to raise his right hand. In an instant, his entire arm and palm became eerie and translucent.
After that, he decisively pressed down on his chest. He used a strange and bizarre method to extend his right hand into his sea of consciousness. In front of the second repository gate where the Poison Restriction was located, he punched out at the closed gate.
Although the second repository gate didn't have the Heavenly Dao, under Xu Qing's full strength, they still managed to open a gap for a short period of time.
The moment this gap appeared, under Xu Qing's control, a suction force suddenly erupted, enveloping the poison source and sucking it into the second repository action..
The gap in the gate directly disappeared and closed again.
As for the poison source, it had already been sealed in the Poison Restriction's divine repository.
After doing this, Xu Qing lifted his head and looked at the stunned Ming Fei in the air. He then raised his left hand and the black spear shone along with the heavenly saber.
He brandished his saber and spear at the same time, slashing at the world.
Even someone as powerful as Ming Fei trembled and collapsed.
At the same time, this collapsing world fell off piece by piece like a shattered mirror, revealing the starry sky behind the sky.
In the starry sky, the huge Ming Fei's true body let out an unwilling wail and became incredibly weak. It glanced at Xu Qing venomously.
It wanted to counterattack but it was powerless. Its body was ruthlessly entangled by the ancient tree Qing Mu. No matter how it struggled, it was useless.
In the end, its body was penetrated by those branches. Amidst the blood rain that scattered in all directions, the branches broke through its flesh from many parts of its body.
It was extremely tragic and there was gradually no movement.
The starry sky trembled as though the source of resentment had dissipated and clarity returned.
As for the huge tree, it had also used all its strength. At this moment, it was like a lantern that was out of oil, revealing weakness and relief.
"Thank you. I have no more regrets."
As the ancient voice echoed, a branch whipped at the face of Ming Fei's corpse. Ming Fei's head collapsed, and only its eye was swept up by the branch and brought in front of Xu Qing.
"Little friend, here is the promised item."
Xu Qing, who had been mostly silent, was still silent. The moment the eyeball was brought to him, he raised his right hand and the heavenly saber appeared, slashing toward the eye like a bolt of lightning.
The eye was destroyed!
"Have you acted enough?"
Xu Qing calmly spoke.
