“Greetings Senior Xufu! If Senior has to try to revive the Qin Emperor, then I have no other choice!”
Although his tone was calm, it was really firm.
“Is that so?”
Xufu laughed coldly and then looked towards Zong Shou.
“Saint King also came for the 12 Copper Men?”
“Of course!”
Zong Shou looked towards Afang Palace. “How is His Majesty Yinyu?”
Naturally, an End Realm cultivator’s suppression was really strong but Zong Shou could barely adapt to it.
At this moment, he could see that Xufu might not have been completely End Realm, a level weaker than Dragon Shadow. He was more similar to Yuanjing in the past.
Who knew whether it was because of the Dragon Formation or because he was restricted by the Qin Emperor?
Naturally, even a flawed End Realm could easily smash him like he was an ant.
However, he was most interested in how the Great Shang Emperor was.
“Of course, His Majesty Yinyu is not a fool.”
Xufu scoffed mockingly. “I want to borrow his True Dragon Energy to use but he also wants to make use of me too. As expected from the wise ruler of Great Shang. He is vicious towards both others and himself…”
He said flatly, “I do not have any bad intentions towards Your Majesty! Our Alchemist bloodline has a huge blood debt with Qin Emperor. We just need to let Qin Emperor revive! After that, his life or death, those 12 Copper Men have nothing to do with me. I can even help you, to block out the Confucians. We Alchemists want to return to the Cloud World and Great Gan is the best choice.”
“Oh?”
Zong Shou replied expressionlessly and then acted dumb. He hesitated and acted like he was in deep thought.
He just needed the Qin Emperor to complete his revival? In other words, whatever happened to the Cloud World after that had nothing to do with them…
It was said that he could help Great Gan. An End Realm Saint Venerable’s help was indeed really tempting.
However, wasn’t it better for the Qin Emperor not to be revived? Who could confirm whether Xufu meant it or not? Would he be restricted after the Qin Emperor resurrected?
But he knew that he wasn’t strong enough. Even if this was a spiritual sense incarnation he could only flee from it.
The only person who could fight him head-on was Mingri Xuan.
As for what his course of action was, it would depend on how that person reacted.
Seeing that he didn’t reply, Xufu didn’t continue to force him and turned towards Mingri Xuan, “What do you want? When the Qin Emperor revives he will be weak. The 12 Copper Men haven’t had a master for 10,000 years and the seal is at its weakest, so it’s the best time to snatch it. Once he loses this Country Protecting Artifact he will lose his fangs. With your ability, you might be able to kill him before he revives. I will help you!”
He spoke sincerely and his words were really tempting. However, Mingri Xuan rejected even without blinking. He replied frankly, “Senior’s words are tempting but I don’t want to take the risk. Things in the world often don’t go according to plan. Rather than placing hope on the unpredictable future, I’d rather grasp the present…”
Xufu predicted what Mingri Xuan would say. His gaze sunk and became much darker. He asked mockingly, “I remember that you became the top divinator after the Cloud World Desolate Era ended. Your predictions have always been accurate. So what? Even someone like you isn’t willing to believe the future?”
Mingri Xuan laughed. “It is because I am accurate, so I’m not willing to place my life and death in the hands of the future. Life is precious and fate can be changed. Senior Xufu should actually understand this theory more than me.”
The moment he said this, the others didn’t feel anything but Zong Shou comprehended something and was in a daze.
Xufu turned expressionlessly once more.
“In other words, there is no room for discussion between us? We can only fight to the death here?”
Right as Zong Shou and the other four were waiting for Mingri Xuan to reply, the entire area started to shake. It was extremely sudden and there had been no signs.
24 giant palms rose up and smacked down onto the altar. A strong magnetism rose up and swept over such that the five of them felt like their bodies were a million times heavier. They were locked down such that they couldn’t move at all.
Above a barrel, thick purple light shot down.
It split into six streaks in mid-air. The first one naturally pointed at Mingri Xuan and the other five pointed towards Zong Shou and the others.
“Heaven Tribulation?”
Zong Shou’s expression changed, and right away, he recognized that it wasn’t ordinary light. It contained the Reflect Law and was filled with Destruction Dao tribulation light.
It was those which were extremely close to End Realm God Tribulation and had vast power! Such that even true End Realm Saint Venerables couldn’t underestimate it.
This couldn’t be done by a spell. It would have been from the power of the Dragon Formation.
Just one streak of light was enough to kill them here!
When Xufu was trying to persuade them he was really calm and happy. However, once it fell through he went all out; he used all his strength and didn’t hold anything back.
A blue light appeared in Zong Shou’s hand. With a spell, he slowed time down by 10 times.
Mingri Xian’s clear voice rang out. Even the loud thunder couldn’t suppress it at all. Due to time slowing down, he heard it word for word. He could even sense that there was no fear or shock at all.
“If one’s Dao is different one wouldn’t attack another! Senior and I have no room for reconciliation, so there is no need to say much more…”
Tens of thousands of streaks of starlight surged down. Like a sword, it contained a thick star power. It was like poles repelled, causing the magnetism in the area to tangle and instantly mess up.
Zong Shou and the others immediately felt their bodies lighten up and recovered back to normal. Those 24 giant hands also broke down at the same time.
In the next instant, a vast power surged in all directions with the altar at the center.
It was obvious that this place must’ve been a portion of the Dragon Formation. However, when the spiritual wave spread out, many parts of the formation fell apart.
The redirections around collapsed.
It directly shot up into the sky at the purple lightning which was close by.
In a breath, it shrunk by 10 to even 20 times, such that it was just a small thread when it arrived in front of Zong Shou.
After the Book of Eon slowed it down, it was amazingly slow.
Zong Shou was a little stunned before he reacted. He waved the One Origin Soil Sword and absorbed it.
This was the Reflect Law formed in the formation and even if he comprehended it, it was useless. He wouldn’t be able to use it outside of the tomb.
However, if he was able to peek into some of its secrets, he would be able to recover much power in Xianyang City.
Yuan Wushang protected himself with the puppet and Shen Yuexuan opened the lotus once more. Only then did they notice it was overkill. Both easily dealt with the lightning.
It was more so on the side of Mingri Xuan. Xufu’s Image gave off a bright glow.
Spiritual energy gathered to the point it nearly turned physical like a giant pill that wrapped around his body. Numerous magnetism power gathered and currents shone, such that all metal in this 100,000-foot area was sucked up.
Even Zong Shou was nearly unable to control the God Refined Sword. That One Origin Sword senses danger and automatically hid back into his Soul Ocean.
Luckily, the Dragon Tooth Swords weren’t made of metal, otherwise, it would have been tough to control them.
“So, this is what Xi Zi left that year? Giving birth to something from nothing, causing this perfect formation to have a weakness. No wonder you juniors were so confident!”
His tone was still dark and sinister, filled with killing intent. Along with it came a giant seven-colored blade light.
It didn’t have a physical body and was made of Magnetism Power. It caused explosions in the clouds and flipped dirt on the group.
Zong Shou felt his blood boil and surge. He was nearly unable to control it. Most of his True Qi was used to suppress himself.
It was like he was being ripped apart. With just that blade, some weaker small-sized worlds would be smashed!
The seven-colored blade was pointed at Mingri Xuan’s indiscernible body.
It was formed from spiritual sense, so under the suppression of the blade, it was really tough to maintain.
However, he didn’t do anything, allowing the blade to slash his body.
When it slashed past, Mingri Xuan’s soul incarnation was perfectly fine. There were just some minor injuries.
The blade contained limitless magnetic waves, however only less than a thousandth could touch the body.
Zong Shou was shocked. Was this person also good at the Real and Illusionary Switching Technique?
Moments later, there was the sound of a magnetic explosion, like it was avoiding Mingri Xuan’s soul body.
Often before it made contact, it would twist and Mingri Xuan would be perfectly fine.
“This is the Fate Twisting Technique?”
Yuan Wushang exclaimed in shock. He looked stunned at everything that was going on.
Su Xiaoxiao and Shen Yuexuan weren’t in any much of a better state now.
When that blade slashed down, they thought that even if he wasn’t killed he would be badly injured.
This outcome was a little unexpected.
Such a technique could harm anyone? The peak of Fate, what kind of level was that?
Zong Shou noticed that Mingri Xuan’s soul image had dimmed a little.
“We can only fight!”
A bright blade light flew out from his sleeves and shot through the air.
It arrived instantly, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Xufu.
It actually looked similar to Zong Shou’s Six God Defensive Knife Technique but also much stronger!
