The captain's words landed in Xu Qing's mind.
Xu Qing smiled.
He realized that he was not too late.
Seeing the captain and Flame Mystic here was within his expectations. However, he was a little surprised that Tian Mozi, Tuoshi Shan, and Fan Shishuang were also here.
However, the surprise was only slight.
After all, the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race had opened this Divine Realm more than once. To be able to become the top five heaven's chosens of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, the family or faction behind them naturally had a longer time to prepare.
The fact that these people were all here was enough to show that this place... had the most fortuitous opportunity in the Divine Realm!
At the same time, it also indirectly proved the captain's sense of smell and the so-called major event.
Hence, after Xu Qing nodded in response to the captain, his gaze swept across everyone. Flame Mystic let out a cold snort, Tian Mozi revealed a surprised expression, Tuoshi Shan showed a flattering look, while Fan Shishuang lowered his head and avoided eye contact.
They didn't say anything and weren't surprised by Xu Qing's appearance.
Clearly, from what they knew, it was only right for Xu Qing to appear here; they would be surprised if it were the opposite.
As his gaze swept over and this vast imperial palace was reflected in his mind, Xu Qing also gained more perception of the star he was on.
For example, the outer layer of each of the 108 stars in the starry sky had an invisible barrier.
Although this barrier was difficult to see with the naked eye, one could sense its might through divine sense. It was like a seal, stopping anyone in the star from leaving.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})However, although this barrier possessed divine powers and might be able to trap Tian Mozi and the others, Xu Qing felt that regardless the captain and Flame Mystic wouldn't find it difficult to break through the barrier.
However, it just so happened that... even the two of them were staying on the stars.
"Not willing to leave? Or is it because the time isn't ripe yet?"
All of this was analyzed rapidly in Xu Qing's mind as his gaze swept past.
Soon, he discovered the answer.
Under the stars, the sun and moon were switching, and the sun moved along its trajectory.
It was moving across the sky.
A scorching power, brimming with supreme domineeringness and frenzy, containing terrifying power, emanated from the sun, resembling a massive fireball that illuminated the entire sky with its fiery light.
As it drew nearer, its power became increasingly astonishing. When it reached the other stars, it was obstructed by the barriers outside the stars, filtering out its frenzy and terror, and delivering the pure power of the sun into the barriers.
Tian Mozi, Tuoshi Shan, and Flame Mystic's bodies shook as they absorbed the power of the sun, tempering their bodies and souls.
As they absorbed it, the aura on their bodies clearly strengthened.
This was the reason why Flame Mystic didn't break through the barrier!
It was also the reason why everyone was sitting cross-legged on the stars!
This was because the barrier of these stars was not only a seal but also a form of protection for them. This caused these stars to be like Dao platforms and become the best and safest place to absorb the energy.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})"This is the power of the sun!"
The captain's divine sense entered Xu Qing's mind.
"When the moon arrives later, it will emit the power of extreme yin. Junior Brother, I told you before that the imperial tomb is the real treasure but you didn't listen and fought with the statue outside."
"Look, isn't there more extreme Yin power here?"
The captain shook his head, his tone tinged with emotion, as if Xu Qing's demeanor resembled that of a minor character.
Xu Qing fell silent. His gaze landed on the moon in the Imperial Palace. Because the sun had arrived now, he couldn't sense the power of the moon. However, through the density of the power of the sun, he could determine that the captain was right.
It was as though the battle with the statue outside the tomb was indeed meaningless.
Seeing Xu Qing's expression, the captain became even more smug. He was about to continue transmitting his voice.
However, at this moment, Tuoshi Shan, who was absorbing the power of the sun, suddenly trembled. A bright light appeared in his dantian, as though a star was shining inside.
Accompanying the appearance of the star were Dao marks that appeared out of thin air...
These dao marks rapidly turned into bubbles and there were more and more of them. When they gathered, they formed an illusory great world.
Under the starlight in his dantian, this illusory great world actually revealed a trace of reality. It was as though there was life being born in this world.
There was also an aura that shook the surroundings. It was vast and astonishing, far surpassing the realm of the Nihility. It erupted as the world turned from illusory to corporeal.
That was... the aura of the Soul Accumulation.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Tuoshi Shan was borrowing the power of the sun here to perfect his Dao, illuminate his path, and shape his great world.
Once he succeeded, he would reach the Soul Accumulation!
This was his ultimate goal in coming to the Divine Realm. As one of the heaven's chosens at the peak of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, although he hadn't reached the end of his realm, he had long polished his strength to the extreme.
He also knew the difference between him and others, so he didn't ask for perfection. What he pursued was his own excellence.
Now that he had reached his limit, he didn't hesitate to choose to advance!
There was no place more suitable than this place to illuminate his great world. This was because the power of the sun represented life force and endless possibilities, especially since he understood that this sun in the Divine Realm's Imperial Tomb...
was the first sun of this world!
It was also the only sun, its power and significance akin to Wanggu's ancestral sun, though their strengths might vary, their statuses were the same.
This wasn't only his choice but also Tian Mozi's.
When the second beam of starlight lit up in Tuoshi Shan's body, the star where Tian Mozi was also erupted with light. A terrifying aura and pressure appeared.
He was also advancing.
In an instant, the stars where the two of them were on rumbled in unison.
This scene fell into Xu Qing's eyes. As he understood everything, he suddenly looked in Flame Mystic's direction.
Xu Qing had a deep understanding of how powerful Flame Mystic, who hadn't advanced to the Soul Accumulation, was. As for Tian Mozi and Tuoshi Shan who had completed their Dao first, they didn't represent the strongest because their extreme limits were limited.
Among the heaven's chosens of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven, there was only Flame Mystic who had almost no limits.
Hence, she needed more sun power.
Almost at the instant Xu Qing looked over, Flame Mystic, who was sitting cross-legged on the star, rumbled. Five ancient and huge repository gates that seemed luxurious instantly appeared.
All five gates opened, emitting a huge suction force.
A large amount of sun power instantly headed straight for Flame Mystic. As it surged into the five gates, Dao marks, bubbles, and nihility land appeared on three of the five gates.
The dao marks continued to expand and bubbles flowed out endlessly, gathering in the nihility land… This caused the land to continue expanding, surpassing the limit of a large world and forming an unprecedented super world!
However vast the world might be, while its land was limitless, it was challenging to match it with an equally expansive sky.
However… If a sky that was compatible with this world really appeared, then the moment Flame Mystic advanced, she would instantly reach the peak of the first stage of the Soul Accumulation Realm.
This was because her world was so vast that it surpassed everything. There had been very few worlds of such size since ancient times.
From this, one could see her talent and determination.
Seeing this scene and the advancement of the three heaven's chosens, for some reason, what someone had said to him when he was in the Seven Blood Eyes appeared in Xu Qing's mind.
"This is an era of great competition and heaven's chosens appear frequently, and this might be Wanggu Heavenly Daos' final attempt at saving themselves!"
Xu Qing's eyes gleamed.
At the next instant, the sun set and the moon approached from afar.
The power of extreme Yin dispersed the sun and swept over.
Fan Shishuang, who had his head lowered, suddenly lifted his head. His eyes were persistent and his heart was firm. Back then, after he watched helplessly as Xu Qing killed Ji Dongzi, he knew that he was weaker than Xu Qing, let alone Flame Mystic. However, he was only weaker in the past.
He firmly believed that his future would be beautiful.
In the future, it was still uncertain who was stronger!
This faith supported him. When the power of extreme Yin arrived, he began to absorb it crazily. Moonlight gathered on his forehead until it formed a star that illuminated the surroundings.
He also began to advance!
Similarly, Erniu was also absorbing the power of extreme Yin.
Moreover, compared to Fan Shishuang, Erniu's absorption method was rather domineering. It seemed to be suppressing Flame Mystic's absorption method. Erniu's head swayed and clouds actually rose above his head.
As the clouds churned, a huge dog head rushed out and sucked fiercely at the power of extreme Yin.
That was an immortal art.
It had the power to devour anything.
In the blink of an eye, the power of extreme Yin headed straight for the captain and was crazily absorbed.
Fan Shishuang's body trembled and he felt powerless. His expression instantly darkened.
As for Erniu, his posture was arrogant. He looked at Flame Mystic with contempt and also emitted a smug divine sense toward Xu Qing.
"Junior Brother, as long as you beg Eldest Senior Brother with a hundred compliments and sign a thousand promissory notes, I will leave you with twenty percent."
Hearing the captain's despicable divine sense, Xu Qing didn't bother with him. He gazed at the approaching moon in the distance and sensed the third repository gate in his body that had opened after it had absorbed the energy of the statue.
The repository gate emitted a energy that came from the same source as the moon. It was also the extreme Yin and the ancestral moon!
An intense desire surged into his mind.
Who said that the battle outside the tomb was useless? The gains from that battle were seeds!
Xu Qing understood. He gazed at the moon and stood up. The instant he took a step forward, a deafening sound rang out from the second repository gate in his body.
Ming Fei's eye inside opened. In an instant, the Six Filths of God erupted from Xu Qing's eyes and blasted against the invisible barrier in front of him.
The God's Six Filths could taint gods!
At the next instant, under the corrosion of the God's Six Filths, this barrier transformed from invisible to tangible. It was like a bubble that had been blown through and directly dissipated.
Xu Qing's footstep additionally landed and he disappeared from the star, appearing outside it.
The energy from the Imperial Palace came from entire directions and pressed down on Xu Qing's body. However, Xu Qing's expression was as calm as ever. Jiuli's nine heads and his god form appeared. The Six Filths became even denser.
Amidst everyone's shock, he walked toward the moon that was moving in the distance.
He directly stepped onto it and… sat down cross-legged.
The Purple Moon Repository in his physique suddenly erupted and absorbed crazily.
It was as though it was cheering.
