Chapter 1182: Stubborn Xing Huanzi

The Sovereign Realm was the process of forming an immortal embryo.

Once the Immortal Embryo was formed, with the corresponding level of constitution, he would be able to step into the Quasi-Immortal Great Emperor realm.

After that, the immortal embryo turned into an immortal, the constitution becomes a tributary, and a Quasi-Immortaluasi-immortal ascended to Lower Immortal!

These three great realms were the dreams of countless cultivators. However, those who could truly walk through them were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

It could be said that every single realm was a cruel process of selection and elimination. Every single step required fortune, fortune, and the accumulation of one's own resources and reserves.

Because the Gods of the fifth star ring had been suppressed, the cultivators no longer had any natural enemies to deal with. As a result, their numbers had skyrocketed, and so many Sovereigns had appeared.

But in fact, in terms of proportion, they were still in the minority.

As for the Wanggu Continent, the Gods were rampant and alien substances were everywhere. It was hard to survive there. Even in its heyday, the number of cultivators there couldn't be compared to the entire fifth star ring.

Thus, up until now, there were only a few Sovereigns.

This was because these three steps of advancement not only required the constitution to strengthen layer by layer, but also required a massive amount of Star Ring energy as nutrients to form the Immortal Embryo, all the way until the Immortal became an Immortal.

None of them could be missing.

Xu Qing had known all of this before.

The moment he broke through, he understood where his strengths and weaknesses lay.

It was similar to how, when he was in the Soul Accumulation level, he was strong, but his fleshly body was a weakness …. Now that he was in the Sovereign Realm, it was similar.

"The reason why I was able to step into the fifth level of the Quasi-Immortal Great Emperor Realm is because of my constitution."

"The Ninth Extreme's Universe Stacking is already comparable to a Quasi-Immortal Great Emperor's perfect constitution in terms of level. It's not much different from a branch."

"Therefore, to me, in the Sovereign Realm, or even the Great Emperor Realm, what I lack … is the birth and growth of the Immortal Embryo."

"In that case, my next priority is to obtain more star ring energy. In other words, the source energy of the upper star rings will be used as nutrients to accelerate the birth and growth of my immortal embryo."

"As for constitution … I can't let it go because my current constitution is still a level away from stepping into the Lower Immortal Realm."

"In other words … the Tenth Extreme!"

Sitting cross-legged, Xu Qing sensed the fluctuations of his cultivation base as he muttered to himself, summarizing the past and analyzing the future.

As for what the tenth extreme was, Xu Qing had no idea.

However, at this moment, he had a clear understanding of his strengths and weaknesses.

"Right now, my killing power is comparable to that of a Quasi-Immortal. However, because my physical body is still in the process of being born as an Immortal Embryo, its strength is only that of a Sovereign. Thus, when facing the power of a Quasi-Immortal, this is a weakness."

Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

"Like an assassin?"

A dark light appeared in his eyes. He ended his thoughts and raised his head to look into the void.

Wherever he looked, there were no ripples in the void. A sharp fluctuation rose up and exploded, as if someone was trying to force their way in from the outside.

Xu Qing naturally knew the identity of this person.

However …

"He broke through outside?"

Xu Qing's expression was indifferent as he looked over. The ripples in the void were now vast, and Xing Huanzi's figure could be seen within them.

The moment he appeared, his aura suddenly spread out, and the might of a Quasi-Immortal burst forth.

"Xu Qing!!"

His furious roar shook the heavens, rumbling in all directions.

At that moment, Xing Huanzi's eyes were completely crimson. The instant he appeared, he glared at Xu Qing.

He had indeed broken through!

He had no choice but to break through. After being chased away so many times, he already understood that it was impossible for him to advance to the fifth level according to his plan.

Therefore, he could only decisively choose to break through his cultivation outside and step into the Quasi-Immortal Realm.

Naturally, such a breakthrough was not perfect.

Thus, the killing intent in his heart had already surpassed the killing intent he had toward Xu Qing before.

Sensing the killing intent and seeing Xing Huanzi's crimson eyes, Xu Qing's expression remained the same as ever.

"I've been waiting for you."

Those four words caused the world of the fifth level to tremble. They were like a tempest, like a thunderclap, and caused a string of space-time fluctuations to spread out.

These fluctuations reverberated around the Xing Huanzi, in his past, present, and future. They were everywhere!

Bright stars appeared in Xu Qing's eyes, shining with the light of time and space.

Under this gaze, the Xing Huanzi in his eyes was no longer a solitary existence.

He saw … countless space-times, and in each of these space-times, there were Xing Huanzi in different states!

Some were mad, some were sneering, some were silent, some were ferocious, some were bitter …

Xu Qing could see the countless Xing Huanzi in countless space-time spaces with a single glance.

"Meeting" was only the first step. The second step was to influence.

At this moment, Xu Qing could clearly feel that he could not only influence the Xing Huanzi of the present world, but also influence the Xing Huanzi of other dimensions.

In fact, if his constitutional power was strong enough, then … he could truly kill them.

Erase everything that existed in space-time, regardless of karma, fate, or reincarnation ….

This feeling reminded Xu Qing of the True God that the Jade Glazing Dust had mentioned.

The reason why True Gods could return was because their True Names were immortal. Therefore, even if they died, as long as they were remembered, they could become a symbol of their return.

Back then, when Xu Qing heard these words, he didn't understand, but he felt that they were awesome. He only felt that True Gods were terrifying and that there were too many unknowns.

But now … he understood.

The reason why he returned was not the other party, but also not the other party. That was because … it was possible that the one who reappeared after death was a god from another time and space.

At the moment this enlightenment arose in his heart, Xing Huanzi's heart also shook greatly.

"Unfortunately, my immortal embryo is only an illusion right now, and I have yet to reach the end of the Ninth Extremity. Thus, I am currently unable to affect all of space-time."

Xu Qing murmured inwardly. He lifted his right hand and opened it slightly.

At that moment, Xing Huanzi was looking at Xu Qing. The charm in Xu Qing's eyes made his heart tremble and his scalp tingle.

At the same time that his breathing stopped, a strong sense of danger erupted.

It was a feeling of being seen through.

He had seen through karma, fate, and reincarnation. Therefore … he instinctively felt a sense of danger.

In the blink of an eye, numerous chains of order appeared around Xing Huanzi, wrapping around him. At the same time, the terrifying power of his Quasi-Immortal cultivation base exploded out.

Just as he was about to attack … Xu Qing raised his open palm facing Xing Huanzi and squeezed it lightly.

A faint voice came out of his mouth.

"Seamless!"

When those two words echoed in the air and his hand clenched into a fist … the space and time around Xing Huanzi in Xu Qing's eyes began to rumble, and ripples began to ripple out in a disorderly fashion.

In the blink of an eye, it was so intense that it transformed into a space-time tempest that sprang up around Xing Huanzi.

Before this, Xu Qing had been unable to control Seamless, and could only allow it to rise and fall without order. But now … after mastering the Ninth Extreme, things were different.

As Xu Qing opened his fist and waved it, the chaotic space-time storm was instantly drawn in and swept away like a raging wave. It swept through … the nine space-time dimensions of the Xing Huanzi, excluding the main world!

It caused the nine Xing Huanzi in the space-time to be caught in the storm. Their physical bodies instantly decayed, and all of the Chains of Order were weathered away by the passage of time.

All of this seemed to be telling him …

In the face of time, all forms of order become a thing of the past. Therefore, three of the nine Xing Huanzi let out miserable shrieks as their bodies transformed into ash. Only the Immortal embryos remained, as if they were shedding off their bodies.

However, it didn't seem like it could hold on for much longer. It was trembling.

The other six space-time avatars also began to collapse during this time.

And their experiences also affected the present world. Hence, Xing Huanzi in the present world spewed out blood as his body began to decay!

This was the battle prowess of a Quasi-Immortal!

It could affect immortal embryos!

On the other hand, no matter how magnificent constitution's performance was, if he could not shake the Immortal Embryo, then he could not be considered a Quasi-Immortal's battle prowess.

Different constitutions had different effects on the concreteness of the world.

Parallel Space-Time, Billowing Waves, which relied on the destruction of multiple space-time to create Billowing Waves.

If it was Li Mengtu and the poison reached such a degree, then the one who corroded it would be his body in the main world.

It was the same for Xing Huanzi. Especially since his cultivation had already made a breakthrough and become a Quasi-Immortal.

Even though this breakthrough was not perfect in his eyes, his battle prowess was still extraordinary.

Therefore, even though he couldn't see his other space-time, when he sensed that his Immortal Embryo was damaged, his counterattack … began!

Countless chains of order shone with a golden light, and when they gathered together, they seemed to form a weighing scale!

That was the scale.

On one end was him, and on the other was Xu Qing!

And above order … was balance!

The moment they appeared, they connected with each other!

The instant they connected, the endless storm that Xu Qing stirred up pressed down on one end of the scale, causing it to lose balance …

After the imbalance, a vast amount of power came from the void and landed on Xing Huanzi. The power continued to gather and grow, and in the end, the imbalance … was restored!

It was like borrowing power!

This was the law that Xing Huanzi's constitution had changed after he became a Quasi Immortal.

The stronger the enemy, the greater the external force he could leverage. In the end, he could form a boundless force that could suppress everything!

Xu Qing's eyes shone with a strange light.

"Interesting … Let's see if your limit comes first, or if mine comes first."

Xu Qing said calmly.

He flicked the Ninth Extreme in his body as if he was plucking the strings of a zither.

Instantly, the space-time storm caused by Seamless expanded and swept toward the other space-times of Xing Huanzi. In the blink of an eye, the eleventh space-time was consumed. Then the twelfth, the thirteenth, the fourteenth …

The imbalance was formed once again, and the balance continued to arrive.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed as he unleashed a tempest. In the blink of an eye, the number of space-time dimensions he could reach increased to eighteen.

He planned to use this battle to hone his constitution.

Eventually, the limit of Xing Huanzi appeared, and when Xu Qing reached the twentieth mark, it reached its limit.

The scales … collapsed and collapsed.

Xu Qing stood up.

Twenty worlds of space-time wasn't his limit. As far as he knew, if he fully unleashed his Ninth Extreme, he would be able to unleash about fifty space-time fluctuations.

As for Xing Huanzi, he coughed up blood, and cracks appeared on his Immortal Embryo. He was sent tumbling backwards.

However, there weren't too many distracting thoughts in his heart.

He knew very well that the reason he was at a disadvantage was partly because his opponent's constitution was extremely strong, and partly because his breakthrough was not perfect.

"Xu Qing, you are indeed very strong, but your weakness is also obvious. Your Immortal Embryo… is only in the realm of illusion and reality!"

Xing Huanzi forced himself to stop, then looked up, killing intent flickering in his eyes.
