Chapter 1218: Ambition and Position

A day later, the Hun Tian Emperor knelt outside the shattered Hun Tian Palace, a bitter look on his face.

The members of the Hun Tian Clan behind him all looked pale and weak. The three experts who had stopped Xing Huanzi had blood oozing out of the corners of their mouths. They looked dispirited.

Their cultivation bases had already fallen!

He was no longer at the Quasi-Immortal Realm. Instead, he had directly fallen to the Ruler Realm.

Furthermore, upon closer inspection, one could see that it was not only the three of them. The other Heavenly Clansmen's cultivations had all decreased to varying degrees.

In fact, if one were to carefully observe the fluctuations of the soul, one would discover … that this fall was eternal.

It came from the soul and the bloodline!

Their bloodlines were weakened, and their souls were bound!

The bitter Hun Tian Emperor was also affected by this.

He knelt there silently. Although his cultivation level was still that of a Quasi-Immortal, he was barely able to maintain it.

Moreover, this state would continue to exist, and it would be very difficult to change.

That was because the second face behind him was already withering. His Ancestral Awakening had been interrupted!

However, all of the Hun Tian Clan, including him, had chosen to lower their heads without much resentment.

And in front of them, in the starry sky, they could see a group of people leaving.

They were the ascenders.

The cultivator in the lead was Xu Qing.

They left.

.......

They had already taken away the large amount of Origin Substances they had accumulated during the ceremony in the Hun Tian Race's territory, which matched Xu Qing's speculation.

Under Zhou Zhengli's lead, he took the initiative to give away 20% of his gains.

Thus, Li Mengtu and the others followed suit.

As for how to deal with the Imperial Family of Hun Tian … Xing Huanzi had used the name of order to unite everyone and implement a constitution of balance.

In this way, the Art of Balance was used to extract the bloodline of the clansmen, causing their bloodlines to become impure.

If it weren't for the fact that there were other Heavens Beyond Heavens involved in this matter, it would've been normal for the entire Heavens Beyond Heavens to be destroyed.

Now that Xu Qing and the others had only cut off their bloodlines, no matter how they reported the matter to the higher-ups, their actions would definitely be in line with the general trend of the human race on the fifth ring.

There was nothing wrong with anyone.

At the same time, dealing with it this way was very much in line with the reputation of having a lot of resources …

It could be said that he had considered everything from the inside out.

The Hun Tian Clan also agreed with this.

Because they were clearly aware that no matter if it was combat strength, background, or anything else, they were inferior to such a group that was made up of ascenders.

Our clan's luck is just too bad to have met these people.

If the other party was really determined to exterminate their clan, they could only walk the path of no return.

After all, this was the fifth star ring, where the human race was supreme.

Therefore, most of them heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the result of this.

As long as their clansmen were still alive, that was the greatest blessing.

As such, the matter here could be considered to have come to an end.

Following that, Xu Qing led the crowd back to A29.

Along the way, he told everyone in the team about his investigation and plan regarding the True God Sun.

When they heard that the seaweed in Prison 29A was actually the prison guard of a True God, and that the Origin Substance of this True God could be extracted, everyone grew excited.

Even though they had not only completed their own harvesting missions, but they had also obtained quite a bit of Origin Substance. However … their need for Origin Substance was even greater.

Thus, everyone's eyes burned with passion.

Furthermore, after interacting with each other for the past few days, as well as the fact that they had barged into a clan together and shared the loot, all of this allowed them to get used to each other quite a bit.

He also agreed with Xu Qing's leadership.

In particular, Xu Qing was able to give everyone Origin Substance to take, and his strength was at its peak. It was only natural that the sense of acknowledgment would grow even stronger.

Just like that, everyone sped along.

They arrived at the location of Prison A29.

The True God Sun was still in its original position. Seaweed, who had left with Xu Qing, didn't dare to leave his post without permission. Therefore, before he left, he split off an avatar to monitor the True God Prison.

At this moment, Xu Qing suppressed the anticipation in his heart. He first took a look around, and after confirming that everything was fine, he turned to the crowd beside him.

"Then, let's follow the plan and gather Origin Substance here!"

Xu Qing said slowly.

All of the Greedy Envoys, including Xing Huanzi, had already known about the plan. Now that they had seen it with their own eyes, their eyes shone with a strange light.

After a long while, they looked at each other and saw their own decisions.

When Xu Qing saw this, he didn't say another word. His body flickered as he shot toward the true god sun.

The seaweed doppelganger's roots swayed and opened the entrance. Its main body also returned at this moment. After using its own body to support everyone to a certain extent, Xing Huanzi followed closely behind Xu Qing.

Zhou Zhengli, Xie Lingzi, and Yuanshan Su and Li Mengtu left in succession.

It didn't take long for the entire chip team to charge in like a pack of hungry wolves.

Time passed.

Three days later, the True God Sun shook violently, and the seaweed around it shook violently.

This trembling lasted for seven or eight days before a massive boom could be heard. Even in the starry sky, one could sense a terrifying amount of Origin Substance spreading out from the sun.

It was as if the seal had been broken.

A few more days passed, and the fire and heat of the true Divinity sun began to weaken. Its size began to wither, and it seemed as if an even denser Origin Substance was about to erupt.

However, at this moment, a powerful Divine Will suddenly shot out from the True God Sun into the sky.

It transformed into a voice.

"All of you … enough!!"

"I'm going to take this grain. You all have ten breaths of time to get the hell out of here. If you miss the time limit and die here, your masters and the forces behind you can't blame me!"

His voice was like a thunderclap that resounded throughout the entire Spherical Heaven Universe.

Countless planets in the universe shook and all living beings trembled.

Xu Qing and the others who had barged into the True God Sun felt their hearts palpitate.

It didn't take long for them to spurt blood from their mouths as they swiftly returned to the battlefield.

Finally, at the tenth breath, he flew out of the true god sun.

The moment it appeared in the starry sky, a huge vortex appeared directly beneath the True God Sun.

The vortex was so big that it was like a huge mouth in the void. An incomparably huge palm stretched out from within and grabbed the True God Sun, dragging it into the vortex.

The seaweed had no choice but to loosen its tentacles. Otherwise, it would be dragged in as well.

All of this takes some time to describe, but the truth is that as soon as everyone appeared, the vortex and the hand appeared. After taking the true God sun, the vortex and the hand vanished.

It was as if he had never appeared.

In the empty space, there was only the trembling seaweed and Xu Qing and the other cultivators with ugly expressions.

Seeing this scene, no one knew what to say for a moment.

After they had entered the True God sun, they had encountered some obstacles in breaking the first two seals, but overall, they had been able to absorb quite a bit of Origin Substance from the True God sun.

However … when he broke the third seal, something unexpected happened.

The third seal actually contained an eye!

It was Immortal's eye. It had been left there as the main body to seal the True God Sun.

And when they saw that eye, it also suddenly opened, emitting a terrifying will that swept out like a storm.

No one could resist.

As for his identity, it went without saying that he was the Lower Immortal behind the scenes.

Obviously, the former Aurora Heaven Beyond Heaven knew the identity of the person who came here through his disciple. Therefore, in his anger, he still left some leeway.

Ten breaths of time was given.

After that, he was even more unwilling to leave the True God Sun behind. He decided to take it away regardless of the cost.

It was clear that this Lower Immortal had no choice but to do so.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until now to do this …

As for Xu Qing and the others, they felt helpless.

However, in the face of a Lower Immortal, he was truly powerless.

At this moment, they could only sigh and choose to leave.

The seaweed was at a loss.

The prison it guarded … was gone.

All the gods in the leaf had also been stolen by it.

Now that the world was so big, it suddenly lost its mission …

Thus, under Xu Qing's persuasion, he chose to leave with them.

Just like this, after they found a meteorite area, everyone spread out, chose a meteorite, sat cross-legged on it, and prepared to digest their gains first.

They decided to leave this universe a month later.

After all, even though he had only absorbed two layers of Origin Substance, the overall amount was still quite significant.

Half a month was not a long time, and it passed in the blink of an eye.

The asteroid belt floated silently through the starry sky. The people on it were also silent.

During this half a month, everyone sat cross-legged on their own meteors, doing their best to convert the Origin Substances they had obtained into their own cultivation bases and battle prowess.

The auras emitted from their bodies grew stronger and sharper with each passing day.

When the seventeenth day arrived, a vast aura suddenly shot up into the sky from this floating asteroid belt in the quiet starry sky.

This aura was so powerful that it shook everything in all directions, causing the meteors to be thrown into disarray. They were swept away by the impact and scattered in all directions.

For a time, time and space warped as the five elements took form. It drew upon the laws of this universe, causing them to converge from all directions and form multicolored lights that were incomparably gorgeous.

At this moment, deafening heartbeats could be heard.

It was as if thunder was reverberating.

This scene immediately caused everyone's minds to tremble. They all woke up from their meditation and opened their eyes to look at the source of the powerful fluctuation!

It was an oval-shaped meteorite, and the person sitting cross-legged on it was wearing a long black robe. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and his entire body emitted a hazy light. Dense Immortal Qi continuously erupted from his body in waves.

It was Xu Qing!

"He's breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal Realm!"

Xing Huanzi's eyes sparkled.

"Such momentum, such waves …"

Xie Lingzi's expression was solemn, and Yuanshan Su was somewhat absent-minded. Li Mengtu immediately paid attention to the surroundings, protecting Xu Qing.

Qian Jun and Bi Yi fled, their hearts palpitating as they cried out inwardly.

They had a feeling that after Xu Qing successfully ascended to the Quasi-Immortal Realm, he would only need to raise his hand, and the two of them would involuntarily transform into immortal swords and fly away cheering …

Thinking of that scene, the two brothers became anxious.

At this moment, Zhou Zhengli's eyes narrowed. After a moment of thought, his eyes shone with determination as he shot to his feet and sat down cross-legged on the meteor closest to Xu Qing.

"Everyone, what are you waiting for?!"

"Also, regardless of whether there are others with ulterior motives among you, I have to remind you …."

At this point, Zhou Zhengli's eyes flashed with a dark light.

"Don't forget, this place … used to be called the Sky Beyond Heaven."

"As for the other Heavens beyond Heavens, most of the upper seats are already taken."

"All of you should know this. No matter what you think, my goal is to occupy a position beside the future master of Beyond Heavens!"

"Although the possibility isn't high, and could even be considered minuscule, but … compared to the huge harvest, I'm willing to take the gamble!"

"Therefore, anyone who might cause me to lose this bet is my enemy!"

This was the first time Zhou Zhengli had spoken of his ambition. Even though no one knew if his ambition was his true objective, but …

It must be said that his words had indeed caused many people to be moved.

Qian Jun and Bi Yi was no longer afraid. Instead, after being stunned for a moment, a strange light appeared in their eyes.

"Position?"
