Chapter 1059: Xu Qing: You steal everything
Back in Eastern Devil Feather's Immortal Arts Temple, the scene playing out in the furnace of bones was something special. Therefore, no one in the outside world could sense what was happening. All they could see was that the furnace was currently vibrating.
The nine-colored flame burned. The refinement had begun.
The Grand Elder and the other Master Immortals, who had previously held the upper hand, began to look anxiously toward the First Sovereign.
As for the young lord of the Yun Clan, he was also worried about personal gains and losses. He knew about the conflict between Master Xue Chenzi and Yue Dong, and knew that Master Xue Chenzi's opposition to Yue Dong was likely to be even more murderous.
But no matter what, at least the other party's words were beneficial to Yue Dong.
Therefore, he could only place his hopes on Xue Chenzi.
The other Mountain Sovereigns remained silent as they observed Xu Qing and the old man from the first Mountain Sovereign.
Of these two, one had recently risen to prominence and was in the limelight, while the other was extremely old and had a high reputation.
It was the same with the tenth Sovereign Lord and the first Sovereign Lord.
Therefore, the confrontation between the two became the key point that would decide everything at this moment.
"Young man, this old man does admire what you've done to Western Demon Feather. But, you're a little too arrogant to place your prestige on Eastern Demon Feather."
Under everyone's gazes, the old man from the First Sovereign Mountain spoke indifferently.
However, he sighed inwardly. He didn't want to fight, but he represented a Sovereign, and it would be inappropriate for him to just let things go.
At this moment, he had no way to back down. Thus, he slowly stood up from his seat.
As he stood up, ripples of the Nine Worlds of Soul Accumulation Realm rose from his body along with the shadows of the worlds, forming a force that could topple mountains and overturn seas, rumbling in all directions.
Then, he took a step forward and directly stepped forward.
When this step landed, the Immortal Arts Palace rumbled, and the world outside changed colors. The pressure was intense.
Facing this situation, Xu Qing's expression didn't change at all. Although he didn't have the confidence to defeat Nine Worlds Soul Accumulation, unless Soul Accumulation was like the Western Demon Prince and had a great hidden danger in his body.
But this time, Xu Qing was very clear that what he wanted was not to win, but to stall for time.
That was why he stood up as well. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and his blood-red robes flapped in the wind. Thick bloody mist spread out from his body, turning into blood-red dragons that roared as they circled around Xu Qing.
At the same time, the Divine Right of Sound flickered within his body, and the Divine Right of Destiny transformed into a chilling blade.
Black lotuses also appeared around Xu Qing, forming an extreme defense.
Everyone was visibly shaken, and couldn't help but think back to what had happened to Master Xue Chenzi in Western Devilwing.
"The Dark Flame Emperor's secret technique."
"His defense is able to shake a ninth level Soul Accumulating. Those under the Sovereign Realm will find it difficult to break through his defense!"
"There's also the death of the Western Demon Child. Although I don't know the exact reason, it's obvious that this Xue Chen Master has an astonishing trump card."
Even as these thoughts ran through the minds of the onlookers, the old man from the First Mountain Lord vanished, to reappear in midair.
As for Xu Qing, his figure was also blurry as he took shape in midair. From the looks of it, the battle was about to begin.
However, right at this moment, laughter echoed between the two of them.
The son of the Fifth Sovereign Lord, Lin Kun, suddenly appeared between Xu Qing and the old man. The aura of the Nine Worlds exploded out from him, creating a barrier between them.
"Would the two of you listen to me?"
"According to the ancient agreement, the Mountains of Sovereign Lords have the right to interfere with the internal affairs of the Immortal Arts Palace. However, since ancient times, the Mountains of Sovereign Lords have never exercised this right."
"Brother Zhang, are you sure that in this time of war, when the Dark Flame Emperor's seclusion chamber is about to open, and the tenth Sovereign Lord's emissary, Master Blood Chen-Master, is against it, you still want to represent the First Mountain Lord in interfering with the Immortal Arts Palace?"
Lin Kun looked at the old man from the First Mountain Lord with a meaningful gaze.
"Brother Zhang, the consequences of this matter are grave. Furthermore, before I came here, my father ordered me to support the tenth Mountain Lord's decision.
"Therefore, I ask you to reconsider."
The old man from the First Mountain Lord's face darkened. He looked at Lin Kun, then at Xu Qing. After a moment of silence, he let out a cold harrumph.
"Since Fellow Daoist Lin says so, we'll drop the matter."
With that, he returned to his seat and closed his eyes to meditate.
With that, the dispute came to an end.
Xu Qing didn't care. He could tell that the old man from the First Mountain Lord had no intention of fighting despite his aggressive appearance.
Therefore, it was good that they didn't fight.
Thus, he nodded at Lin Kun, who had resolved the matter.
Lin Kun smiled. He had his own reasons for doing this.
On one hand, he had sensed that the old man from the First Mountain Lord needed a way out. Thus, sending him a way out would be beneficial to him.
On the other hand, he was using this opportunity to express his goodwill to Master Blood Chen-Master.
One action, two gains.
At the same time, it cleverly demonstrated the fifth Sovereign Lord's ability to decide the final decision of the Grand Immortals of the Immortal Arts Palace.
It was killing three birds with one stone.
Thus, he smiled and returned to his seat with Xu Qing.
However, this scene caused the faces of the Grand Elder's subordinates to turn pale. Their hearts were filled with unwillingness, but there was nothing they could do since the Ten Directions Mountain Lord had already reached a consensus.
They could only acquiesce.
The Yun Family's young master breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head to look at the refining furnace in the center of the square.
Inside the furnace, the situation was much more intense than outside.
Faced with the furnace's death and the words spoken by Yue Dong's head, the Grand Immortals of the Immortal Arts Palace felt their hearts and minds rumble.
Disbelief welled up in his heart.
Yue Dong's words had completely exceeded his imagination.
"You … this cauldron was refined from your bones?"
You're the one who was killed by the Immortal Arts Emperor … that enormous sinner? "
"How is that possible!?"
The Grand Elder of the Immortal Arts Palace was panting. Naturally, his first reaction was disbelief. However, his authority over the furnace had disappeared, and the furnace had actually begun to grow flesh and die.
It was impossible for him not to believe all of that.
"It doesn't matter whether or not you're telling the truth," said the Grand Elder of the Immortal Arts Palace. "You're not strong enough. That's the crux of the matter. If you really did have the power to crush me, why would you use such methods?"
The eyes of the Grand Elder of the Immortal Arts Hall flickered with cold light. He knew that the truth was no longer important. What was important … was how to achieve victory in the end.
Therefore, the killing intent in his heart and the light in his eyes surged.
"I'll kill you, and everything will be resolved!"
The Grand Elder's body flickered as he shot through the furnace toward Yue Dong's remaining head.
With the power of his Nine Realms of the Gods, and his bizarre Immortal Arts, he moved with shocking speed. In the blink of an eye, he was right next to Yue Dong's head.
It didn't matter how the head flew backward. It was pointless. The Grand Elder lifted his right hand and viciously slapped it down.
A boom could be heard as Yue Dong's head exploded into pieces.
However, the Grand Elder's face grew even grimmer.
That was because … after Yue Dong's head exploded, the scattered flesh and blood began to reassemble. The head … reappeared.
However, it no longer looked like Yue Dong, but rather, Er Niu.
"You want to kill me, you old bastard? You'll never have a chance in this lifetime!"
The Grand Elder didn't say a word. He attacked again, this time using an Immortal Art.
A strange gray hand appeared in front of Er Niu. It pierced through him and took away his soul. Er Niu's soul was gone.
What remained of his flesh and blood began to rot away, transforming into black liquid that dripped down.
However … in the blink of an eye, a blue worm flew out from within the black liquid. It exploded in midair, transforming into a bloody mist that reformed into Er Niu's head.
However, his face was clearly pale.
The low roar in the delicious roar was even more arrogant.
"F*ck you! Come, come, come. Let's see if you'll kill me first, or if I'll kill you first!"
"Let's see whose life is tougher!"
"You want my celestial technique? Let me tell you clearly, your celestial technique is mine!"
"I'm not going to learn immortal techniques bit by bit. I'm going to refine you and devour all your immortal techniques in one go."
Er Niu roared.
The Grand Elder of the Immortal Arts Hall was getting more and more anxious. That was because the refining process in the furnace was having an effect on him.
Hence, he did not hesitate to attack again. However, every time he destroyed Er Niu's head, it would strangely form again. No matter what he did, it would only make Er Niu's face turn paler and paler.
The other party was like a monster that could not be truly killed.
And within this gap, Er Niu's trump card was also wildly unleashed.
"You use wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and fire. I'll use metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!"
"Take my past life, water of eternal ice!"
Er Niu roared and opened his mouth to spit out blue icy water into the furnace, causing the refining process to become even more intense.
The Grand Elder took a deep breath. His expression was one of intense anxiety as he tried to kill Er Niu again.
Amidst the rumbling, Er Niu came back to life and roared again.
"Take my present life, undying flame of life!"
With a bang, Er Niu shattered again, then reformed and roared again.
"Take the North Emperor's coffin!"
"Take the Immortal World! Bury the North Emperor's earth!"
Every time he opened his mouth, he would spit out an item. As for the flame of life, the Corpse Storing Wood, and the Emperor's earth, the refining power of the furnace could only be described as terrifying.
After all, each of these four items was extraordinary. They contained the past life and present life. Furthermore, the North Emperor's coffin and earth were used to enhance the refining process, causing the refining power to be heaven-shaking and earth-shattering.
Even as powerful as the Grand Elder's fleshly body began to burn, and his soul was in torment. In this critical moment of life and death, his killing intent reached its pinnacle, and he once again attacked Er Niu.
Er Niu collapsed and reformed again. The madness in his eyes had reached the pinnacle of his life force, and he let out a hysterical roar.
"Finally, water, fire, earth, and wood are complete. The only thing missing is metal!
"Take the Karmic Bone Metal! Borrow the endless power of Karma to break the edge of your Immortal magic!"
Er Niu let out a deafening roar as he spat out a fingernail-sized bone. Shockingly, the bone was golden, and as soon as it appeared, it shone with a dazzling golden light. The power of Karma inside was incomparably dense, and it exploded out.
The Grand Elder's face fell.
As for Er Niu, although he was mad and weak, he was also very pleased with himself.
"My little Junior Brother self-detonated in the Human Race's Imperial Capital. His spiritual energy burned, and his flesh and blood were nourished. In the end, all the bones in his body were shattered, and he was refined into a golden treasure!
"Back then, I secretly took it away. Today … I'll get you!"
