Xu Qing's expression darkened.
There must be a reason for this abnormality. The reason why he attacked with all his might earlier was because the Heavenly Dao Mosasaur's warning earlier was extremely intense, to the point of causing his heart to skip a beat.
Xu Qing didn't think that such a life-and-death tribulation would pass so easily.
He suddenly lifted his right hand. With a thought, the poison that filled the surroundings headed straight for Chu Tianqun's corpse. After it enveloped the head and body, Chu Tianqiong's corpse rotted at a rapid speed.
After more than ten breaths, it completely turned into black water that sluiced into the sand.
However, the space seals were still there.
That sense of uneasiness didn't disappear.
Xu Qing's expression was grim. With a sway of his body, he headed straight for the sky and attacked with all his might, trying to get away from this place. However, just as he was attacking, an intense sense of danger suddenly erupted in his mind.
Xu Qing abruptly turned his head and looked at the ground.
The area where Chu Tianqun had died earlier erupted with a golden light. This golden light distorted the void and changed the laws, as though it was affecting space-time. An unbelievable scene appeared.
The time there… actually reversed!
Xu Qing personally saw the black water that had formed from Chu Tianqun's corpse rise into the air from the sand. After it fused together, it formed Chu Tianqun's corpse. After that, his head rolled back to the corpse.
At the next moment, all the injuries on it disappeared. Its eyes also abruptly opened and looked at Xu Qing.
"I underestimated you." The revived Chu Tianqun's eyes were filled with golden light as he spoke hoarsely.
"I didn't expect you to have divine power too…" Chu Tianqun's body swayed. When he took a step forward, his cultivation base erupted. This time, he was no longer at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm but was at the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.
Although it was an increase of a small realm, Xu Qing knew that from the Foundation Building realm onwards, every small realm was actually like a large realm. The difference between them was extremely great and some could even instantly kill those that are two small realms below them.
An intense sense of danger rose in Xu Qing's mind. He was extremely vigilant against this resurrection ability.
This wasn't some spell or divine ability, nor was it a life substituting magic treasures. It gave Xu Qing the feeling that… it contained the power of god!
"As a god specimen, I'm different from the other test subjects. I'm even more different from Yun'er," Chu Tianqun said calmly.
"My divine power is resurrection. Infinite resurrection."
Chu Tianqun looked at Xu Qing. In reality, if it wasn't for the fact that the large bird, Qingqin, had inexplicably heavily injured him a few months ago, his cultivation would have been infinitely close to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.
Qingqin was a prehistoric mutant bird and even possessed divinity. It was an extremely high-level divine creature. Although its divine light couldn't obstruct his divine resurrection, the injuries it left behind and his cultivation base were still affected even after he resurrected.
His recovery was extremely slow, and when he circulated his cultivation base greatly, the impact would be even greater.
Hence, he only used early-stage Nascent Soul power earlier.
Looking at Xu Qing, Chu Tianqun narrowed his eyes, revealing a dark glint.
"I've told you all this, so… what is your divine power?"
Xu Qing didn't say a word. Killing intent flashed in his eyes. Under the state of the shadow fusion, the extreme physical strength erupted again and headed straight for Chu Tianqun at an astonishing speed.
He instantly got close.
However, right now, Chu Tianqun's speed was much faster than before. With a step, he was 1000 feet away. His expression was calm as he raised his right hand and pressed it against the ground.
"The sword move Yun'er displayed in the past was incomplete due to his cultivation. Since there's enough time, I'll let you see the secret technique of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect… the 12 Heaven and Earth Swords!"
As his voice echoed, Chu Tianqun lifted his right hand that was pressing against the sand on the ground. As he lifted it, the desert land in the surroundings that was thousands of feet wide instantly trembled. It was as though an earth dragon was churning below.
A vast amount of sand rose into the air and covered the sky, casting a dark, ominous shadow over the desert terrain below.
After that, the sand in the air quickly coalesced into large swords that surrounded Chu Tianqun.
There were a total of twelve of them.
Every large sword was ten thousand feet long and emitted a terrifying sword force, causing the void to tremble and shatter. Killing intent swept through the world, causing the hot desert to feel cold.
They slashed toward Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's breathing hastened slightly. The feeling these 12 swords gave him completely surpassed the sword moves displayed by Saintly Star back then. Not only was their power much higher, but their essence was also different.
He didn't have time to think too much. He was ready to dodge, but the 12 large swords attacked from different directions, blocking all escape routes and slashing him.
Blood flowed out of the various injuries on his body. The canopies above his head shone with light, and the Infinite Crown also appeared. The enhancement of the Nether Spirit Blood Wings produced a wing on his back.
As the wing flapped, Xu Qing's speed under the extreme physical state was enhanced even more. It was as though he could tear through the void and teleport.
He instantly dodged and punched a large sword.
The physical strength that surpassed ten Heavenly Palaces erupted violently. Even though these swords weren't ordinary, cracks still appeared when Xu Qing's fist landed on the sword.
There were very few people in the world who had reached the extreme of the body like him.
A strange glint appeared in Chu Tianqun's eyes as he lifted his right hand and pointed.
"Wind!"
At the next instant, before Xu Qing could destroy the 12 large swords one by one, they disintegrated on their own, their fragments transforming into countless grains of sand that surrounded Xu Qing, forming a swirling storm that surged into the sky.
From afar, the appearance of this storm was also in the shape of a sword.
Its rotation speed was astonishing, and it formed a strangling force around Xu Qing, causing the wounds on his body to rapidly multiply as if countless sharp blades were slashing him.
Seeing that he was in danger, Xu Qing leaped into the air. As the wing on his back flapped rapidly, he rushed to the end of the storm at this astonishing speed.
Countless sand granules chased after him, but they were slower.
Chu Tianqun frowned slightly and waved his right hand.
"Refine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sand changed its shape again. One by one, they shot out in all directions, covering an area of tens of thousands of feet. After they enveloped Xu Qing again, they suddenly contracted and transformed into a huge gourd sword!
Xu Qing was enveloped by the gourd.
The power of refinement erupted explosively from within. Wind and fire coiled around it and when it covered Xu Qing's figure, the cry of a Golden Crow rang out from the gourd.
Immediately after, the Golden Crow's figure manifested and continued to expand. 1000 feet, 5000 feet, 10,000 feet, 30,000 feet… Finally, it reached 50,000 feet.
The gourd burst open. As the Golden Crow soared into the sky, Xu Qing, who had undid the shadow fusion, appeared on the Golden Crow's body.
Xu Qing's body was covered in blood, but his eyes blazed with a fierce determination. He resembled a savage beast, with his killing intent at its peak. With a single sway, the Golden Crow let out a deafening roar and stirred up a raging sea of flames, spanning thousands of feet. The flames surged towards Chu Tianqun.
The power of the Poison Restriction erupted and rumbled over from all directions. As the dense anomalous substances permeated the air, the shadow appeared again, as well as the black iron stick.
There was also the Emperor Sword that spat out from the Golden Crow's mouth, heading straight for Chu Tianqun.
The rumbling sound was like heavenly lightning, directly exploding in this area.
The ground quaked and the sky changed color. A golden light enveloped Chu Tianqun, spreading out fiercely like a barrier that protected him from the attack.
Xu Qing's body shook and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he retreated.
The Golden Crow let out a wail. The Diamond Sect's ancestor's body was about to dissipate and the shadow was much dimmer. The Emperor Sword also dimmed. However, the barrier formed by the golden light also fluctuated intensely and dense cracks appeared on it.
The power of the Poison Restriction covered everything and under Xu Qing's control, it quickly entered through the gaps. In the blink of an eye, the golden barrier was completely turbid. Chu Tianqun frowned as his body started rotting again.
Even though he had divinity and divine power, it was obvious that he couldn't avoid the poison. It was inevitable!
"You used this divine curse on Yun'er back then, right… After experiencing it personally, I can tell that it contains great terror!"
"However, it's a pity that you don't seem to have grasped it perfectly, and can only use its external power. Hence, the methods I prepared earlier can resist it!" Chu Tianqun looked deeply at Xu Qing and at the moment when the golden light collapsed, he performed a one-handed seal and pointed two fingers upwards while uttering a word.
"Calamity!"
Immediately, the air above blurred and nine vortices appeared. As they rotated, a black coffin was revealed.
There were a total of nine of them. They fell from the air and landed on the ground.
They shattered into pieces and nine corpses walked out.
The bodies of these nine corpses were badly mangled. The way each corpse died was different. One had died from drowning, one from burns, one's stomach was cut open and the internal organs were destroyed, one had bled to death, one's blood vessels had burst…
Their bodies were in an extremely miserable state, as though they had endured endless torture when they were alive. After taking a closer look at their faces, it wasn't difficult to see that they were all Chu Tianqun.
At the same time, countless souls grew on these nine badly mangled corpses.
There were so many of them that it was shocking.
Those souls were either weeping or wailing. Their voices spread in all directions.
There were men, women, old, and young.
These were the nine corpses formed by Chu Tianqun after he destroyed nine small human countries and refined all the humans there.
After these nine corpses appeared, they turned their heads in unison and inhaled at Chu Tianqun. The Poison Restriction that had fused into Chu Tianqun's body actually all rolled back and was shared by them.
"Using the bloodline of the kins to fuse into the corpses and condense countless souls of the kins into the heads, coupled with my nine blessed corpses, it can form the calamity to share the divine curse."
"Xu Qing, even I don't know how much I prepared to kill you."
Chu Tianqun looked at Xu Qing. After he calmly spoke, his right hand formed a seal and pointed two fingers upwards. His left hand formed a seal and pointed two fingers downwards, before pointing them at Xu Qing.
"Go!"
The nine calamity corpses around him turned their heads and stared fixedly at Xu Qing. They transformed into nine afterimages, heading straight for Xu Qing!
