Chapter 1211: Essence of the Ox Gate

A heatwave hit them in the face!

Everywhere he looked, there was fire.

The world was scarlet red, incomparably bright and dazzling!

The entire land was made up of scorching flames, which were slowly churning. Occasionally, streams of scorching liquid would soar into the sky and spread across the land.

In midair, they would explode on their own and scatter amidst rumbling sounds, transforming into numerous ancient and mysterious rune markings in midair.

From afar, it looked as if there was an eternal rain of runes.

However, when these runes landed on the ground, they would turn into red seaweed and try to grow there. Unfortunately … in the scorching heat, it was almost impossible for seaweed to survive.

Often, they would turn into ashes in an instant and fall into the flame liquid, becoming a part of it.

Only by relying on some chance, or a very small probability, could one or two stalks of seaweed survive in this place.

It was barely growing.

However, during the process of growth, they would still be burned by the heat. Therefore, at this moment, Xu Qing's gaze swept over the surroundings, and he could only see one or two scattered stalks.

Furthermore, it was in a withered state. It was possible that it would turn into ashes at any moment and cease to exist.

"Although this is only a small area of the sun, based on this amount, even if the entire sun is covered in seaweed … I'm afraid there won't be much of it."

Xu Qing muttered to himself for a moment before he lifted his head and looked into the distance. Once he got used to the temperature, he suddenly spoke.

"Where is the place of imprisonment?"

He was asking about the seaweed in the outside world.

After a while, a vague will echoed in his heart.

"The center … the immortal oath, I can't go too far. The seaweed here … my thoughts, can help …"

This will was intermittent.

Obviously, to the amazing seaweed in the outside world, this sun made it afraid.

The nature of this fear might have come from the immortal oath it had mentioned, or it might have come from something else.

"Means of checks and balances?

Or is it intentional? "

Xu Qing was lost in thought. As he recalled the scenes from before, he felt that the former was more likely. Of course, he was still on guard against the latter.

With a flash of his body, he whizzed forward.

He wanted to see the sun in its entirety.

He also needed to find the core area where the god was sealed.

Then, they would make a decision.

Just like that, time passed.

A few days later, Xu Qing's speed gradually slowed down.

Even with his cultivation base, he felt more and more uncomfortable in this place. Every now and then, he would have to stop and rely on the seaweed on the ground to adjust his body before he could continue forward.

Finally, after half a month's time, Xu Qing reached his limit.

He had to stop in front of a stalk of seaweed.

Fortunately, although he had not truly stepped onto the core of this place, he could still vaguely sense its location with his Divine Sense.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed the moment he probed with his perception.

In his perception, he 'saw' a world-shaking greatsword!

The sword was huge, and it pierced through the sun.

The part that was exposed from the ground was the hilt of the sword that looked like a giant peak.

One could imagine that on the other side of the sun, there must be a sword tip piercing through the ground, shocking the world.

The moment he sensed this scene, Xu Qing suddenly came to a realization.

"That god is not imprisoned in this sun, but … he is this sun!"

"This sun is that God!"

"Like an immortal … True God!"

Xu Qing's pupils constricted. He slowly lowered his head and looked at the ground beneath his feet. Looking at the withered seaweed beside him, his mind trembled.

"And that sword is the source that suppressed this True God, as well as the main body that sealed this True God!"

"It pierced here and pierced through this God, causing this True God to be in a state where he is neither dead nor alive. In this way … He cannot rely on his true name to return!"

"As for the seaweed, to the gods on its leaves, it is indeed a prison."

"But to this True God, it's nothing more than a prison guard!"

"It wants to cultivate with the help of the True God even more than I do. That's why it persisted in spreading the seeds, allowing the seaweed to take root here."

"It's all for the sake of absorbing!

This is because the scattered seaweed is actually trying to absorb the Origin Substance from the True God …. "

"However, due to the environment and status of this place, the amount of seaweed here is too little, so the amount of Origin Substance it can absorb is also not much."

After a moment of thought, Xu Qing raised his right hand, took out the wooden slip he had used to collect the foreign substance, and pressed it down on the ground.

His cultivation base surged in, erupting at full force.

However, this time, Xu Qing's harvesting did not cause any tremors on the ground, and the sun itself was normal as well.

Even though there were a few strands of Origin Substance that seemed to faintly rise from the ground, there were far too few of them.

There seemed to be a heavy obstruction, causing the harvesting not to fail completely, but the results were not very good.

After a long time, Xu Qing stopped gathering. He lifted his head and looked at the giant peak of the sword hilt with a strange light in his eyes.

"The ground is like a shell. It's very difficult to gather Origin Substance here."

"The most suitable place for collecting should be the place where the sword pierced into!"

"That's the True God's wound!"

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke.

"So, if we really want to eat it, we need you to go all out. Either you choose to use up all your previous preparations, and I won't hold back either. We'll take this chance and suffer."

"Otherwise, I'll have to absorb some of the drifting Origin Substances."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he silently waited.

After a while, the withered seaweed in front of him suddenly swayed, as if it had made some kind of decision. In the blink of an eye, the seaweed went from a withered state to a crimson red.

It wasn't the only one. At that moment, all the seaweeds that had survived on the sun began to change from their withered states. They instantly turned crimson red and rose into the air.

From afar, it looked like red spider lilies were moving toward Xu Qing from all directions.

Even though a lot of seaweed had been turned into ashes by the impact of the flames along the way, they still continued to advance.

Full ascension!

In the blink of an eye, the air around Xu Qing distorted as numerous stalks of seaweed appeared out of thin air and began to converge on him.

Xu Qing didn't dodge. He allowed the seaweed to reach him, covering him layer by layer. The entire process lasted for several dozen breaths of time.

Then, Xu Qing, who was standing in the same place, had a drastic change in appearance.

A crimson armor made of seaweed covered his entire body, causing his height to increase to several hundred feet.

He stood there like a giant.

Boundless life force erupted from the seaweed and surged into Xu Qing's body, forming a shocking shield.

This was the foundation that the seaweed had accumulated over countless years on the sun by relying on its efforts bit by bit and time after time!

Xu Qing's eyes flashed.

He could feel that the seaweed was indeed going all out.

Therefore, he didn't hesitate at all. He switched the Five Extremes and used the Five Elements to counter each other in exchange for extreme resistance. Then, the Space-Time Constitution exploded, stacking the universe into an illusion.

This was to disperse the pressure coming from the road ahead.

Then, the Immortal Embryo shone, and he charged forward like a bolt of lightning.

In an instant, he was far away.

Heading straight for … the location of the sword that he had sensed earlier!

The closer they got, the heavier the pressure from this place became. The flames also became more terrifying. Even though Xu Qing was covered in seaweed armor, it was still burning at a visible rate and turning into ashes.

Xu Qing was well aware that if he had relied on his own strength, it would have been impossible for him to reach this point. And once the seaweed dissipated, his entire body would have been instantly burned to ashes.

After all, this was a True God!

However, this was unable to dispel Xu Qing's thoughts.

His speed was even faster!

Madness appeared in his eyes!

If Er Niu was here and saw this scene, he would definitely be amazed and think that Little Ah Qing had mastered the essence of the Ox Gate.

Just like that, time passed.

Finally, as Xu Qing charged forward with all his might in a frenzy and with the support of the seaweed armor, he crossed a large distance and appeared at the core of the sun.

In the distance, the greatsword had truly appeared before Xu Qing's eyes.

The moment he saw the greatsword, Xu Qing's breathing quickened. His entire body trembled, and both his soul and physical body felt as if they were about to combust.

However, the madness in his eyes could not be extinguished in the slightest. Instead, when he saw the greatsword, it became even more intense!

In the next instant, Xu Qing bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Then, he used the Blood Escape Technique to charge forward.

With a boom, seventy percent of the grass armor around Xu Qing's body disappeared. Xu Qing's figure finally charged out of the extreme heat and arrived in front of the giant sword!

The moment he got close, his entire body began to burn, and he was able to see the place clearly.

This was an astonishing ravine. Flesh and blood were trying to grow on the ground at the edge of the sword, as if they were trying to heal the wound and squeeze the sword out.

However, the piercing of the greatsword was incomparably firm and unshakable, causing the recovery process to be unable to be completed.

Both sides were in a stalemate.

As he approached, Xu Qing's heart was filled with a sense of imminent death.

He knew very well that perhaps in the next moment, the seaweed would not be able to hold on, and all of his resistance would collapse.

But …

At the same time, he sensed a thick Origin Substance within the flesh and blood!

The density of this Origin Substance was something Xu Qing had never seen before!

Perhaps only the depths of the Black Lands, where Xu Qing had never been able to go, could be compared to the Black Lands.

Such a fortuitous encounter, such a creation …

Xu Qing's madness grew even stronger, and he immediately sent out his divine will.

"Fox, be on guard!"

The Fox Beauty's mark on his arm suddenly emitted a chill. The divine power that came from her erupted at this moment and strengthened Xu Qing once again.

In this way, while buying time, he could also guard against the malice of the seaweed, which may or may not exist.

After doing so, Xu Qing immediately sat down cross-legged, raised his right hand, and pressed down on the wooden slip.

Instantly, the ground began to rumble as numerous golden strands burst out from the sword wound.

Like a fountain!

The eruption shocked the world!

At this moment, the fox was shocked.

The seaweed was agitated.

Xu Qing was going crazy!
