Chapter 1252: Nineteen Seeds Besieging the Goddess

Outside the teleportation array, many gazes gathered.

At this moment, tens of thousands of people were watching, and the sounds of discussion rose and fell.

However … compared to Zhou Zhengli's emotions for building momentum for Xu Qing, the Goddess in Xu Qing's hands was filled with endless hatred and anger.

Although she was on the verge of death and no longer had the vigor of the past, and her skin was dry and lusterless, she was not really unconscious.

Because Xu Qing did not let her.

According to Xu Qing's many live harvesting experiences, the more the soul of the harvested target fluctuated and the more active it was, the better the quality of the harvested.

Therefore, the Star-Eyed Goddess was awake throughout the journey.

She was harvested alive.

And every time she was about to faint, she would be forcefully awakened.

The cycle repeated again and again …

Therefore, for her, the degree of pain was indescribable.

For her, who had a noble bloodline, this had never happened before in her life. It could be said to be unforgettable.

And this was also the source of her extreme hatred and anger towards Xu Qing in her heart.

So now, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, even if she was weak, she still opened her divine eyes and stared at Xu Qing.

But Xu Qing was already used to this kind of gaze. At this moment, he was expressionless, and only the hand that was strangling Xing Mou's neck.

He exerted force again.

She absorbed again.

Suddenly, Xing Mou's body trembled, as if there were electric arcs swimming through her body and seeping into her mind, turning into a feeling that her soul was about to be extracted, making her even weaker.

She wanted to moan, but her neck was strangled and she could not make any sound.

Therefore, in this madness, all her hatred gathered in her eyes, becoming the most vicious curse in her heart.

"If I can survive this calamity, then I will use my whole life to make the person in front of me and all his friends and relatives suffer a fate worse than death!"

Xu Qing still ignored her.

To him, the most important thing was to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, become an Lower Immortal, and return to the Wanggu continent.

"And the reward for capturing the Goddess this time …"

"In addition, this Goddess's physique is very special … If I can keep it for a long time, my cultivation will break through to the Lower Immortal Intermediate Realm, and it will be just around the corner!"

Xu Qing held Xing Mou, and under the escort of the Spiritual Scale Army, he instinctively absorbed while muttering to himself. He left the teleportation array and walked into the distance.

He went to the giant red star where the commander of the left front line was.

As for the surrounding cultivators who had come to watch, they watched as Xu Qing and the others disappeared into the distance. Their hearts were in turmoil, and they sighed with emotion.

"This group of people has Dao Seeds to begin with, and they don't lack tempering. Now that they've made such a great contribution, they'll definitely soar into the sky!"

"Especially Xu Qing. It won't be long before his name spreads across the entire fifth star ring!"

There were all sorts of emotions in the sighs. However, regardless of whether it was envy or jealousy, Xu Qing left them all behind.

Just like that, time passed.

Half a month later, under the constant escort of the Spiritual Scale Army, Xu Qing and his companions crossed the sea of stars and finally arrived at the headquarters of the frontline at the center of the frontline on the left flank!

It was a huge and slightly irregular star!

It was like a scarlet demon star hanging in the starry sky.

From afar, it was as if a single eye was condensed from the blood of a god, overlooking the universe.

Although he had been here once before, Xu Qing's heart was still stirred when he saw this star again.

This star was extremely huge, like a giant fireball burning in the universe, emitting an incomparably dazzling and scorching light.

The light seemed to be able to penetrate the endless darkness, making it an extremely eye-catching existence in the vast starry sky.

After escorting them to this point, the Spiritual Scale Army stopped moving forward and stopped. The cultivator in the lead bowed to Xu Qing with a solemn expression.

After returning the Goddess, Xu Qing knew that their mission had been completed. Next, it was time for him and the others to report.

Therefore, he turned around and looked at the giant red star. His figure flickered, and he went straight to the star with Xing Huanzi and the others.

As they approached, they could see that the surface of the red star was filled with a violently churning "sea of fire." The scorching flames were constantly surging, rolling, and steaming into a scarlet mist.

At the same time, Xu Qing also felt something that he had never felt before because his cultivation and knowledge were different from now.

It was the heartbeat of the constitutional law level!

Like the sound of an ancient war drum, it reverberated in the churning sea of fire.

Thump! Thump!

It was as if this star was a living thing!

It could erupt into a monstrous blood-red tide at any time, sweeping across the star ring with a roar and turning everything in this star ring into dust.

This scene caused Xu Qing to pause.

The people behind him were also shaken to the core.

The moment they stopped, an ancient voice came from the void. It contained endless ancientness, as if it carried the wind of time.

"Very good …"

Along with the voice, a huge flare suddenly burst out in front of Xu Qing and the others. It formed an extremely bright light that lit up the surrounding space.

It was like a giant firework blooming in the universe.

Within the sea of light, 100,000 silver vertical pupils suddenly appeared and opened.

Shockingly, every eye reflected the shadows of the slaughter between Xu Qing's group and the Goddess.

It was as if they were examining the entire process.

After a few breaths, those killing shadows disappeared. 100,000 eyes locked onto Xu Qing and the others.

They were especially focused on the Star-Eyed Goddess in Xu Qing's hand.

Then, a pulling force came out of nowhere.

Feeling the vastness of this force, Xu Qing could only let go, allowing this pulling force to envelop the Goddess and pull her into the sea of light. Gradually, she disappeared.

Looking at this scene, Xu Qing felt a little regretful.

He had not harvested enough.

Along the way, he seemed to be very fast, but in fact, he had delayed as much as possible so that he could absorb more.

When he sucked dry, more would be produced.

Even though the amount produced was decreasing, the quality was still incomparably pure.

"If I can absorb for a while longer, my cultivation will definitely break through."

Xu Qing sighed inwardly, but he also knew that Immortal Lord Zhan Lu needed this Goddess more and could not let him keep holding on to her.

Thus, he could only suppress this thought.

Then, thinking of the reward for capturing the Goddess, Xu Qing bowed.

The people behind him did the same.

After a while, that ancient voice that seemed to contain the vicissitudes of time echoed again.

"Those who obtain the Goddess's tracks will be rewarded with one million military merits and ten blocks of source substance.

Those who capture her alive will be rewarded with ten million military merits and a hundred blocks of source substance!

"You have obtained the tracks and captured the Goddess, you have made a great contribution!"

Once this voice came out, everyone was excited.

"Xu Qing!"

Xu Qing heard this and took a step forward with a solemn expression.

In the sea of light, 100,000 eyes gathered on his body.

An ancient voice echoed.

"I will bring this Goddess to Immortal Lord Zhan Lu and request for you to be bestowed the Dao name of a True Lord and … an Immortal Lord Dao Artifact!"

"Do you have any requirements for this Dao Artifact?"

Xu Qing's eyes flashed with a strange light. After thinking for a while, he cupped his fists and spoke.

"I want a Dao Artifact that is mainly used for killing!"

"Alright, I will convey it to you."

"The rewards will be delivered within seven days. You can wait in the star tower here. This star contains its own source substance, so make good use of it."

The voice gradually faded.

The 100,000 silver eyes slowly closed, and after a few breaths of time, the sea of light also disappeared. However, 12 towers made of magma rose up from the ground as the earth churned.

They stood in front of Xu Qing and the others.

These twelve Flame Pagodas exuded a dense amount of Origin Substance. Even Xu Qing could feel his body trembling.

Behind him, Xing Huanzi, Zhou Zhengli, and the others were all moved.

"Some time ago, I heard that this scarlet star was created by Immortal Lord Zhan Lu after he slaughtered many peak True Gods. He used their skulls and god blood to refine this star!"

"He even fused a constitution of his early years into it."

"Thus, even if one is a Lower Immortal, cultivating here will have many benefits. However, this star is not stable, so unless it is a special gift, you are not allowed to stay here!"

Zhou Zhengli said in a low voice.

Xu Qing nodded slightly and turned to look at the people behind him. They looked at each other and saw the difficulties of their own journey.

Then, Xu Qing bowed with a solemn expression.

"Apart from the True Lord's Dao title, the other source substances and battle merits will be shared by all of us!"

"Although I have the Immortal Lord's Dao Artifact, it is also something shared by all of us!"

Zhou Zhengli was solemn, Xing Huanzi was silent, Li Mengtu grinned, Xie Lingzi coughed, and as for Yuanshan Su, her gaze was slightly lowered.

The others were the same.

They all bowed back.

Qian Jun Piyi was also among them and seemed to be even more excited. It was as if being bowed to by Xu Qing made them happier than receiving the rewards.

Then, Xu Qing turned and walked into the fire tower.

The others also stepped forward, choosing their towers and starting their own cultivation.

Time passed like this, day by day.

While everyone was waiting for their rewards, as the Goddess was sent to Immortal Lord Zhan Lu, the black and white that surrounded the entire battlefield area between the fourth and fifth star rings were also rippling silently.

And it was obvious that … the white that represented the Immortal Spirit was sweeping across, causing the black that represented the heteroplasm to continue to retreat.

The reversal of the situation immediately affected all the frontlines, causing the battle between the two sides to become even more intense. The cultivators' side had the upper hand.

The stalemate between God Emperor Li Zhu and Immortal Lord Zhan Lu seemed to have been broken.

Vaguely, two vast figures could be seen staring at each other in the black and white.

Then … a wisp of divine sense that couldn't be heard by those of the same realm reverberated in the situation.

"Zhan Lu, you should know that once the frontlines are lost and I retreat, this battle will be raised to the level of many of you and me, as well as a battle between God Venerables and Immortal Venerables. Are you all … ready?"

At the same time, the fourth star ring was far away from the core of the battlefield. The heteroplasm there was extremely dense.

At the edge of the starry sky, there was an old god that emitted an ancient aura. It was as huge as a meteorite and was floating.

He was on his last breath and had lost his consciousness. It seemed that only his instincts were left …

His floating trajectory seemed to have a specific direction. There was a mysterious force guiding him to an unknown place.

In the body of this old god, where the heart was, there was no flesh and blood. There were two figures, one male and one female, sitting cross-legged.

After a long time, one of them opened his eyes. After sensing the outside world, he spoke softly.

"Husband, we're almost there …"

As his words echoed, the other person opened his eyes and nodded slightly.

"The lights at the frontlines have indeed attracted almost everyone's attention. However … we need to be more discreet in the journey ahead."

At this moment, if Xu Qing was here, he would definitely be able to recognize these two people at a glance.

They were Young Master Aurora and his Dao companion, Fairy Spirit Phoenix!
