Chapter 1042: The Broken Supreme Divine Authority
His speed was astonishing, and he instantly charged into the red candle's light.
From afar, he looked like a shooting star that whistled through the void.
As he approached, his body rapidly turned crimson, and boundless light and heat rushed toward him.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing's entire body was enveloped.
Countless shadows also charged over from all directions. At the same time, numerous stars continued to explode in an attempt to stop him.
It was as if everything was trying to stop Xu Qing from approaching.
This didn't make any sense.
According to the assimilation process of this place, the red candle shouldn't be able to stop Xu Qing from making such a choice. After all, he was like a moth flying toward a flame!
It should just let him be!
However, not only did this obstruction appear, but it also intensified as Xu Qing accelerated. More stars exploded, and even the red candle's own flames flickered violently!
Xu Qing's eyes flashed, and he immediately transmitted his divine sense without any hesitation!
In the next instant, Xiao Ying fused with him. His eyes turned pitch-black, and everything before his eyes collapsed into an image!
This allowed him to avoid the stars exploding and collapsing!
As for the originally invisible shadows, a large number of them appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. And from them, Xu Qing could sense anxiety and madness!
Their obstructions came one after another!
In the face of this, Xu Qing moved even faster. He activated his cultivation base, and all of his Divine Power erupted. The power of the Divine Rights shone brightly, and a large sun rose within his body.
Even his soul was burning, and he continued to charge forward!
If you won't let me pass, then I'll pass.
In an instant, as the countless shadows around him dissipated, and as the red candle's flames flickered, Xu Qing's figure appeared ten thousand feet away from the red candle.
At such a close distance, Xu Qing's physical body was still fine, but his soul was already unable to withstand the heat. Boundless heat seeped into his body through the hidden cracks, gathered in his sea of consciousness, and burned his soul!
The assimilation and melting caused by this heat spread over a large area!
At this critical juncture, Xu Qing's eyes flashed with madness. His soul swayed, and it transformed into tens of millions of soul strands that spun in his sea of consciousness, forming a vortex to resist the candle's flames!
He charged forward again in this manner!
He reached five thousand feet!
Large patches of his soul strands shattered and were burned into ashes. Some of them disappeared and became the shadows of this world!
But Xu Qing's speed was still exploding!
Amidst the whistling sound, Xu Qing traversed three hundred feet, two hundred feet …. More than ninety percent of Xu Qing's soul strands were burned away, and only a small portion remained. Finally, Xu Qing's body crossed the distance!
It appeared above the red candle, above the flame!
There, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, looking down at the candle flame.
He wanted to use his physical body to extinguish the flames.
The candle flame flickered violently. It was as if it had never anticipated that Xu Qing would choose to get close to it!
Taking the initiative to walk into death, taking the initiative to step into a hopeless situation, was not within its understanding!
But in the next moment, the red candle's flames burned wildly, causing Xu Qing's sinking body to pause. At the same time, flames that were many times stronger than before swept out in all directions, covering Xu Qing's entire body!
His physical body was fine, but the fire that surged into Xu Qing's body continued to gather in his sea of consciousness and spread across the Ruined Lands!
The number of his Foreign Immortal Flowing Soul Threads was rapidly decreasing, and it looked like they were about to be completely incinerated!
But at this moment, Xu Qing's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked down at the red candle below!
"I don't know what relationship you have with the mask, but I know you have consciousness, so I deliberately said assimilation, so that you wouldn't stop me from relying on the mask!"
"Although I still didn't lie to you!"
Xu Qing's eyes flashed!
"But you think I have no other choice but to make a wish, right?"
Xu Qing had gained a lot in this trip to the World Origin Secret Realm!
First, he saw the map of the thirty-six star rings. The map was vast, and it opened up his world!
Secondly, he found the reason why the white dust appeared in Xue Chenzi's fate threads!
That strange wishing mask.
Without knowing the reason, the red candle emitted malice and did not allow him to leave. But making a wish was still not Xu Qing's first choice!
Because there was a guess that had occupied Xu Qing's mind for a long time!
Everything was laid out in the open!
Based on the situation he faced before, no matter how he analyzed it, the only way to leave was to make a wish!
It was very likely that the red candle had given him a choice.
Since that was the case, Xu Qing would not make a rash decision!
Before he studied the mask, he did not want to use it!
After all, the mask was strange, and according to Xu Qing's understanding, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Especially when it came to making a wish, there must be a price to pay!
And obviously, according to the size of the wish, the price to pay would be different!
Especially since the mask had a certain level of intelligence, and was not an inanimate object, then it could be deceitful and deceitful!
All of these, including the price, were unknown!
And the price of making a wish could be his own lifespan, or it could be a catastrophe, or it could be the people and things he cared about the most, or it could even be his own memories and soul!
Everything was possible!
So he had to know what the price was!
Otherwise, once the wish was made, it would be irreversible and the consequences would be too great!
Only by knowing the price could it be used rationally!
This was also why Xu Qing had kept it away and had not spoken of his wish all this time!
Therefore, if he wanted to leave this place and was unwilling to follow the arrangement and walk the path of making a wish, there was only one way to break out of this situation!
That was to charge towards the source of the danger, where the red candle was.
He had to extinguish it with his physical body.
From death to life, he had to find a way to survive in a hopeless situation...
However, to do this, he had to first approach it!
Therefore, Xu Qing said the word 'assimilate' in an attempt to make the conscious red candle let him pass!
Other than that, there was another reason for his choice to break out of this situation!
He believed in the strength of his physical body.
In the star atlas of the thirty-six star rings, the Upper Desolate, which was located at the ninth star ring, could attract the four terrifying markings of the north, south, east and west. This proved the terror of the Fragmented Face even more...
Then, the body that was created from his flesh and blood would definitely be able to withstand the burning of the candle!
The only flaw was his soul.
His soul could not withstand the candle!
Xu Qing had already made his choice.
Then, let's see if you will burn my soul first or my physical body will extinguish yours first.
As he spoke, under the intense burning of the candle that seeped into his Sea of Consciousness, Xu Qing did not hesitate. His eyes were filled with decisiveness as he raised the hundred faint marks of Divine Power in his Ruined Earth!
These marks of Divine Power came from the flesh and blood of the Fragmented Face. Xu Qing had yet to comprehend them one by one!
They increased Xu Qing's upper limit, but also limited his breakthrough. Therefore, to a certain extent, Xu Qing had to weigh the pros and cons if he really burned them!
However, Xu Qing's judgment was both right and wrong.
The hundred faint marks of Divine Power could indeed be burned to resist the candle's power, but they were not real Divine Power. They were just illusory imprints, not much different from afterimages!
No matter how they were burned, the imprints themselves could not be erased. At most, some impurities would be burned out!
As such, under the roaring of the candle, the effect was lower than Xu Qing's estimation!
Xu Qing made up his mind. He still had a second layer of preparation.
"Luck Divine Power."
Xu Qing did not hesitate. He immediately brought out his Luck Divine Power and sent it into the candle's flame!
In the next moment, the Luck Divine Right burned in the candle flame, erupting with a massive amount of divinity. While resisting the candle flame, it also indirectly protected Xu Qing's soul!
This method was crazy.
Burning a Divine Right was something that had rarely happened since ancient times. On one hand, it was because the gods were reluctant to do so. On the other hand, a flame that could burn a Divine Right was even more precious.
At this moment, with the help of the Divine Right of Luck being burned, Xu Qing was able to last longer. His body rumbled and he was sitting on the flame of the candle!
The candle flame caved in and swayed even more intensely. It wanted to burn down this body, but it was unable to do so. It could only allow the scarlet red flesh to burn.
His body continued to sink!
But the red candle's resistance didn't decrease. Instead, it continued to seep into Xu Qing's sea of consciousness!
Within Xu Qing's sea of consciousness, flames surged to the heavens!
Under the constant burning, 99% of the Divine Right of Luck dissipated, leaving only a sliver!
This strand of dazzling golden light was actually unable to be completely extinguished!
After noticing this, Xu Qing's mind stirred. Without time to think, he immediately brought out the Misfortune Divine Right. It circled around his body to resist the candle flame!
Thunderous rumbles echoed within his sea of consciousness. More flames fused into the candle flame, increasing the intensity of the burning. This caused the Misfortune Divine Right to rapidly dissipate. In the end, only a sliver remained.
After a moment of hesitation, the next Divine Right that Xu Qing brought out was the Purple Moon Divine Right.
The Purple Moon Divine Right circled around Xu Qing, fiercely resisting the candle flame!
As for Xu Qing's body in the outside world, he was completely submerged in the red candle flame.
The candle flame continued to press down.
The flame swayed even more intensely, as if it were making a final struggle. What was reflected in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness was that a great deal of the Purple Moon Divine Right was dissipating!
In the end, just like the previous two Divine Rights, only a sliver of golden light remained.
And just as Xu Qing clenched his teeth and was about to bring out the Sound Divine Right, a strange scene occurred. This was also the scene that had the greatest impact on the red candle.
Luck, misfortune, Purple Moon!
These three Divine Rights had been burned into golden threads. At this moment, they attracted each other and tangled together!
The three golden threads wove together. Although they didn't fuse together, as they wove together, the golden light they emitted became even more resplendent!
This caused the candle flame to pause for a moment!
A shocking aura burst out from the three intertwining Godly Power Strands!
This aura stood above space and time, wielding control over all living beings. But, it was faintly incomplete!
But even if it was incomplete, the aura it emitted was still incomparably terrifying. It surpassed all the Divine Rights Xu Qing had seen in his life!
As for the specifics, before Xu Qing could sense them in detail, the aura began to dissipate like a flash in the pan!
This was because they had only wove together due to a freak combination of factors, unable to fuse together!
At this moment, after a brief moment of entanglement, due to the lack of completeness, they began to show signs of separating!
Xu Qing's mind shook. He immediately sent the three Divine Rights that were about to separate into the candle flame in his sea of consciousness, allowing it to withstand the burning of the flame in place of his soul!
The flame instantly soared. As the candle flame in the outside world was about to go out, the red candle completely erupted, wildly burning. As the candle decreased in size, the flame that fused into Xu Qing's sea of consciousness was also unprecedented!
Under the burning of the candle flame, the three Divine Rights that had wove together for a brief moment actually showed signs of fusing together!
