After eating the leaf, doubts suddenly rose in Qing Qiu's heart. She looked at Xu Qing and the captain suspiciously.
She felt that this scene was a little familiar and thought of the detestable Ghost Hand and Mad Dog.
However, when she recalled Black Heaven's divine son's attitude toward her, she felt that it was impossible. After all, Ghost Hand and she didn't like each other. If he had the chance to kill her, he definitely wouldn't be soft-hearted.
While Qing Qiu was pondering, Xu Qing glanced at the leaves. He licked his lips and was about to pluck off a piece. However, the trembling of the Ten Guts Trees was too intense now. The tree trunks that spread to the sky swayed, stirring up a strong wind that swept in all directions.
Seeing this, Xu Qing could only regretfully withdraw this thought.
The captain turned to look at Qing Qiu and smiled.
"You want this fortune too? Alright, on account of… ahem, I'll count you in." As he spoke, the captain took out the evil ghost scythe and tossed it to Qing Qiu.
Qing Qiu's heart shook as she caught the scythe, and she could hear the evil ghost's tearful complaints in her mind. She looked at the captain and Xu Qing in confusion.
Xu Qing threw Qing Qiu's storage bag over.
Qing Qiu's breathing hastened slightly. She grabbed her storage bag and immediately pulled out a mask to cover her face. As her mind calmed down, she was once again suspicious of Xu Qing and the captain's identities. After asking the evil ghost in her mind and getting no result, she suddenly spoke.
"Who exactly are you guys?!"
"How dare you speak to my clan's divine son like that." The captain glared.
Xu Qing helplessly coughed and reminded the captain to stop playing.
The captain chuckled and didn't speak anymore. Instead, he jumped onto the Ten Guts Tree in front of him. After waving at Xu Qing, he leaped up.
Ning Yan was stunned and suspicious. He looked at the captain and Xu Qing's figures and fell into deep thought.
However, he didn't have to think for long before the vine on his stomach was tugged and he involuntarily moved with the captain.
His doubts were immediately replaced by grief and indignation.
Xu Qing calmly stepped on the Ten Guts Tree, speeding upward.
Qing Qiu gritted her teeth and quickly followed.
Just like that, as the awakening aura of the True Immortal Ten Guts Trees continued to intensify and its swaying became more and more intense, the four of them ran on the tree for a thousand feet.
From this location, they could see the jungle on the ground if they lowered their heads. However, the altitude wasn't enough to see the edges of the jungle further away.
Just as he was looking around, Xu Qing suddenly felt an itch on the back of his right hand. When his gaze swept over, his pupils narrowed.
There was a small bump on the back of his right hand and a crack appeared on it. Almost at the instant Xu Qing looked over, this crack opened.
It was an eye!
Its gaze was deep as it met Xu Qing's gaze.
A similar change happened to Qing Qiu's body. An eye grew out of her arm.
As for the captain, an eye appeared at the back of his head.
Ning Yan was slightly better, but there were bumps all over his body. It didn't seem like it would be long before they turned into eyes.
"There's no mistake. As expected, there's the Biseye tribulation!"
The captain laughed loudly. When he turned his head and looked at Xu Qing, his eyes revealed madness.
'Little Qing, the good fortune that I told you before is about to appear!'
As he transmitted his voice, the captain raised his hand and bit the new eye on his arm and chewed it before swallowing it. He then continued to move up.
This scene caused Ning Yan to feel extremely uncomfortable. He seemed to have thought of some bad memories and his grief and indignation grew even more intense.
Xu Qing looked at the eye on the back of his hand and the power of the Poison Restriction spread out in his body. In an instant, the eye turned black and rotted until it was blind.
After that, he expressionlessly lifted his left hand and a dagger appeared which he then stabbed into the rotting flesh.
He turned the dagger and dug out the piece of meat. In order to prevent even more strange things from happening, he didn't throw it away but kept it in a storage bag.
After doing this, he continued forward. Eyes continued to grow on his body, and he killed them with the Poison Restriction's power before digging them out.
Gradually, the number and speed of eye growth increased, and more wounds appeared on his body.
Xu Qing frowned. He could sense that the speed and number of eyes had increased explosively.
At that moment, over a hundred bumps instantly appeared on his body, eyes rapidly forming on them. In the time it took for seven to eight breaths, Xu Qing's arms, thighs, chest, back, neck, and even his face were covered in eyes.
As the eyes appeared, his sea of consciousness also became chaotic and some inexplicable souls appeared in it. These souls were exactly the same as his body, as though they were a part of it.
However, their expressions were different. Some were sinister, some were crying, some were laughing, some were wailing, some were decisive, and some were cowardly.
Sensing these souls in his sea of consciousness, Xu Qing's expression was gloomy. He discovered that with every eye that appeared, there would be an additional soul in his sea of consciousness.
These souls didn't have the ability to possess. They contained different personalities, like independent personalities trying to fuse into his soul and affect him.
Once they succeeded, Xu Qing would become a lunatic with countless personalities.
The captain's body was also covered in eyes. It was the same for Qing Qiu.
Only Ning Yan was still considered normal. From the start to the end, no eyes appeared on his body. Only bumps grew on him. Although there were cracks on them, his skin was too hard and those eyes couldn't open.
Even when countless bumps overlapped, they still couldn't open. The countless bumps pressed on each other, destroying each other.
After sensing the specialness of these souls, Xu Qing didn't hesitate. The Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness emitted a suppressive force that suppressed the souls that appeared.
When he used the Bizarre Nether Dao Snatching Art to seize the enemy's golden cores, it would passively absorb some of the enemy's wills and thoughts. The function of the Ghost Emperor Mountain was to suppress these thoughts.
As the suppressive light shone, all the souls that appeared in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness started collapsing.
Their collapse also gave Xu Qing quite a lot of benefits. His soul was being rapidly nourished and strengthened.
This discovery caused all the eyes on Xu Qing's body to light up. He stopped killing them with poison and allowed those eyes to grow.
The method the others used was different from Xu Qing's but they were all ingenious.
At first, the captain ate the eyes. However, as more eyes grew, he used some unknown method to grow countless large mouths on his body. They continuously swam around his body and devoured one eye after another.
Ning Yan was normal. Most of the bumps on his body had suffocated on their own, and they couldn't form a personality soul. This piqued the captain's interest. He grabbed the vine in his hand and pulled the trembling Ning Yan to his side, studying him as he moved.
As for Qing Qiu… she didn't destroy those eyes.
Personalities were a great fortune for her. Her Blood Domain needed personalities to begin with. At this moment, her eyes revealed a strange glint and her breathing was slightly hurried. Clearly, the benefits she obtained were astonishing.
In fact, her body gradually emitted an aura that surprised Xu Qing.
However, the appearance of the eyes still had an extreme limit. After the amount of time it took for an incense stick to burn out, when they reached a height of more than 8,000 feet, the eyes no longer formed.
Xu Qing felt some regret. The poison path's power spread out and he instantly became covered in blood.
Hundreds of eyes rotted and turned into black water that flowed down.
It was also at this moment that the captain at the front stopped in his tracks.
After calculating with his fingers and looking around, he caused everyone's expressions to change when he proceeded to cut open his stomach, take out an intestine, tear it open, and throw it onto the branch beneath his feet.
The instant they came into contact, the captain's intestine fused into the tree trunk. After that, he looked at Xu Qing with bright eyes.
Xu Qing fell silent for two breaths before cutting open his stomach. He then calmly cut off a piece of intestine and threw it on the branch.
The captain then turned to look at Qing Qiu expectantly.
No one could see the change in Qing Qiu's expression due to her mask. However, in the end, Qing Qiu turned her head and didn't cut her intestine.
The captain looked somewhat regretful. Ning Yan, who was at the side, gasped. Even though he had experienced many bizarre things on the way, he still felt that these two people from the Black Heaven Race were crazy.
This was because as they continued to move up, he saw that these two Black Heaven Race cultivators would cut off a portion of their intestines and fuse them into the branch almost every thousand feet. As he looked at the endless branches, an absurd thought rose in his heart.
'Will their intestines be enough? Will they come and cut my intestines if there's not enough? Well, it's nothing to worry about, they won't be able to cut my stomach open… No, that guy is too dangerous. He might have other ways to cut my stomach and intestines!"
Ning Yan's mind was a little chaotic and he felt much more despair.
Just like that, they continued to move up the True Immortal Ten Guts Tree.
Time passed unknowingly and dawn arrived. The first rays of the sun rose between sky and earth. From afar, it looked like the distant sky was burning with flames.
However, far away, on the other side of the sky, in the capital of the Holy Wave Race's Heavenly Wind Dynasty, a gust of wind blew past the ground.
The sun was setting here, and the sunset glow filled the sky.
Amidst the resplendent red glow, a black light that spread through the entire capital suddenly erupted from the central altar of the city and headed straight for the sky.
This black light contained supreme power that could devour all radiance, devour all laws, and refine all light.
The originally bright sky was covered by this black light.
From afar, it looked like a black spot grew in the sky with a lingering red glow.
Under the black spot, there was a temple at the altar.
This was the Black Heaven Temple!
A bell rang out from the temple, emitting an ancient feeling, as though it was echoing through time. At the same time, the black spot in the sky slowly transformed into a huge face of the Black Heaven Race.
This was an old man from the Black Heaven Race. His hair had already turned white and his skin was filled with wrinkles. The remaining red glow in the sky was absorbed and turned into his eyelids.
His appearance caused the hearts of all the Holy Wave Race members in the Heavenly Wind City to tremble. They knelt down one after another with reverence on their faces.
In the palace, the monarch of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty and all the nobles and ministers lowered their heads and knelt respectfully.
The moment they knelt down, the face formed by the black spot in the sky slowly opened its eyes.
Its eyes were deep and one could faintly see countless Dao marks flowing past. The black spot also became blurry, as though countless overlapping shadows from different times were gathered on this face.
In the surrounding sky, countless small worlds formed and dissipated.
In the end, these small worlds seemed to be nutrients and transformed into wisps of black gas that flowed and spread in the surroundings of the black spot, devouring the light and forming blurry mountains, rivers, land, and myriad lifeforms.
From afar, it looked like a true great world that existed at the end of the sky.
However, this great world was still in its infancy and hadn't stabilized.
One could imagine that if the great world really stabilized one day, it would be carried on someone's shoulders.
When such an existence descended into the world, it would no longer be Nihility but… a living Soul Accumulation!
The world was silent. All living beings in the capital lowered their heads. After a long time, an ancient voice spread throughout the city.
"Heavenly Wind."
"Here!" In the palace, the Heavenly Wind's Monarch respectfully replied.
"Go and welcome the divine son!"
"I respect the Black Heaven God's decree!"
The Heavenly Wind Monarch's heart stirred as he spoke in a low voice.
At this moment, the wind between heaven and earth… grew even stronger.
