Within Xu Qing's body, the 65 Dharma apertures turned into 65 whirlpools that spun continuously, creating a deafening rumble!
When the second Life Fire appeared, it shone even brighter. It resonated with the first Life Fire in his dantian, causing the Heaven Palace to become even clearer.
At the same time, the burning of the 65 Dharma apertures also provided Xu Qing with a terrifying power, causing the two Life Fires to turn into a sea of fire. When they spread out, the ground around Xu Qing began to distort, and an indescribably high temperature exploded around him.
All of this made Xu Qing's body no longer look like an erupting volcano, but like a continent that was burning!
Among the Sea Corpse Tribe cultivators chasing after him, a few of the more seriously injured Second Fire Sea Corpse Tribe cultivators let out blood-curdling screams the moment Xu Qing's second Life Fire erupted.
Their eyes, which had been completely focused on Xu Qing, were instantly burned by the Life Fire in his body. Blood dripped from their eyes.
Even the two fire Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had mostly recovered from their injuries felt their hearts tremble. Their cultivation base was in turmoil and their Life Fires seemed to be showing signs of extinguishing under the crushing force.
The Three Fire Sea Corpse Tribe cultivators who were chasing after Xu Qing felt their hearts churn violently. They were so shocked that they couldn't help but slow down their pursuit.
One Life Fire was the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Two Life Fires was the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
At this moment, Xu Qing's cultivation had entered a new stage with the formation of the second Life Fire. He had advanced to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment!
Although it seemed like a small breakthrough, in the world where the Ancient Gazing Continent was located, the difference between different stages of cultivators was like heaven and earth.
Qi Condensation was fine, but once one reached Foundation Establishment, the difference was extremely obvious.
Between Profound Dazzling Form and Non-Profound Dazzling Form, killing was as easy as flipping one's hand.
It was the same for Second Fire and First Fire.
Because of Xu Qing's life lamp, the battle prowess of his two flames was no different than that of a late Foundation Establishment cultivator with three. Add in the power of his Emperor-class technique, the Golden Crow Refines All Spirits, and his terrifying fleshly body, and his sudden increase in power could be described as heaven-shaking and earth-toppling!
At this moment, the flames on his body roared and his aura shook the heavens. Everything around him twisted, and the pressure from his body spread out in all directions.
Most of the pursuers behind him stopped, and even Three Flames gasped, unwilling to continue the chase. Xu Qing suddenly turned around, killing intent rising in his eyes as he charged forward.
His speed was so fast that the Two-Fire Foundation Establishment Cultivator couldn't even see him. Even the Three-Fire Foundation Establishment Cultivator felt his scalp tingle, as he could only barely see Xu Qing's figure.
But as a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had a wealth of battle experience. At the critical moment, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blue blood. The blood burned and spread in all directions, and he decisively chose to ignite his Dharma Aperture!
As a slightly famous genius of the Sea Corpse Tribe, he had opened a total of 92 Dharma Apertures. At this moment, without any hesitation, these 92 Dharma Apertures burst out at the same time to stimulate his three flames to burn at a more vigorous level.
But in the next instant, his expression changed drastically.
Because in this state, he could clearly see some of Xu Qing's movements. He also saw that Xu Qing's target wasn't him, but the Sea Corpse Tribe cultivators behind him.
In the blink of an eye, a thunderous roar reverberated. Xu Qing's figure was comparable to the Three Flames and the Golden Crow's All-Refining Physique. His speed was close to the Ultimate Speed of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He directly appeared in front of an injured Second Flame Sea Corpse Tribe cultivator.
Without any hesitation, he viciously rammed into him.
The Second Flame Sea Corpse Tribe cultivator's body was as weak as paper and immediately exploded. As his flesh and blood scattered in all directions, Xu Qing arrived in front of a second Sea Corpse Tribe cultivator and viciously rammed into him again!
Then the third, the fourth, and the fifth!
He raised his right hand, and a flaming dagger appeared. He approached a Second Flame Sea Corpse Tribe cultivator and viciously slashed his neck!
His head flew!
Blood spurted out!
The Vajra Sect's Patriarch also controlled the black metal skewer to release shocking lightning bolts that went straight for the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators. The shadow had already spread out and formed a domain.
As a large number of eyes formed on the ground, the Sea Corpse Tribe cultivators in the area all lost a large amount of their heterogeneity.
The whole process only took seven or eight breaths of time. Half of the dozens of Sea Corpse Clan cultivators who were chasing them either had their bodies explode or their heads fly off. As for the Sea Corpse Clan cultivators who were still alive, their faces were filled with shock and horror. Without any hesitation, they all retreated and wanted to escape.
But in the next instant, a cry rang out. The Golden Crow appeared behind Xu Qing and looked around coldly. Then it flew out from Xu Qing's side. Its tail flame was astonishing, and it turned into iron chains that charged at the crowd.
Xu Qing's body began to move again.
Although he hadn't rushed out of the forbidden area and was in danger, once Xu Qing attacked, he instinctively wanted to kill everyone. At this moment, his right foot stomped on the ground.
The shocking power of his fleshly body caused rumbling sounds to echo out as he shot toward the retreating Three Flame Sea Corpse Tribe Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
The Three Flame Sea Corpse Tribe Foundation Establishment Cultivator's pupils constricted, and he knew that he couldn't dodge. A ferocious and crazed expression appeared on his face, and he stopped trying to dodge. Instead, he waved his hands in front of him, causing the power of his ninety-two Dharma apertures to explode. Two of them exploded without hesitation!
Thanks to the explosion of those two Dharma apertures, the Sea Corpse Tribe Foundation Establishment Cultivator's aura rose once again. He charged toward Xu Qing, and the ground in front of him shattered. Numerous skeletal hands stretched out madly. More skeletal hands formed in the air around him and shot toward Xu Qing to wrap around him.
There were so many skeletal hands that they formed a small sea of bones. The Sea Corpse Tribe Foundation Establishment Cultivator didn't stop there. His eyes shone with madness, and he coughed up a mouthful of blue blood.
The moment the blood appeared, it turned into a blue flying sword with a monstrous might. The moment it appeared, rumbling sounds filled the air. The murderous aura within it was astonishing. It locked onto Xu Qing and charged toward him.
Then, the Foundation Establishment Stage Sea Corpse Clan cultivator made another hand seal and slapped his chest hard. His body suddenly blurred, and overlapping shadows appeared. He directly split into four identical bodies and went straight for Xu Qing from four directions.
"Die!"
Xu Qing let out a cold harrumph. He didn't slow down. With a wave of his hand, the flames in his body erupted once more. They collided with the skeletal hands around him, causing a violent shockwave to spread out in all directions. At the same time, he lifted his right hand and swung it down.
The Heavenly Saber appeared above his head. With his current battle prowess, he pushed the Heavenly Saber forward. Its aura was even stronger, and its speed was even faster. In an instant, it collided with the incoming blue sword.
At the instant the sound exploded, Xu Qing clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it to the side, crashing into one of the Sea Corpse Tribe clones. With a bang, the clone coughed up blood and was sent tumbling backward. Xu Qing instantly caught up to it and lifted his knee to kick it with all his might.
The sound of bones and flesh shattering could be heard. Under Xu Qing's attack, half of the clone's body exploded.
Then, Xu Qing turned his head and spat out a mouthful of black fiendish flames behind him. They formed a sea of fire that enveloped the second clone of the old Sea Corpse Tribe Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
As a shrill scream echoed within the sea of fire, the third clone closed in. Its eyes were filled with madness, and the moment it got close, its body began to decay.
It melted at a speed visible to the naked eye and gathered together to form a black nail. It suddenly shot toward Xu Qing, as if it wanted to pierce the center of his brow.
"Interesting."
A strange light shone in Xu Qing's eyes. The old Sea Corpse Tribe Foundation Establishment Cultivator of Three Seas of Flames had a lot of tricks up his sleeves. The black nail, in particular, contained a hint of soul suppressing power. Xu Qing found it strange. At that moment, he lifted his right hand and squeezed. In an instant, the nail was caught in his hand.
No matter how violently it struggled, it was useless.
Off in the distance, the air distorted, and the true body of the old Sea Corpse Tribe Foundation Establishment Cultivator of Three Seas of Flames appeared. His face fell, and he fled at top speed. But even as he did, he suddenly stopped.
A moment later, his eyes filled with shock and terror, and he began to cackle viciously. He ran a few steps toward Xu Qing, then dropped to one knee and handed over his bag of holding. Then, with a cracking sound, he broke his own neck.
Then, popping sounds echoed out from inside his body. Just as his Dharma Aperture was about to explode, Xu Qing lifted his right hand, and the fiendish flames spread out to envelop him and absorb his soul. At the same time, the Golden Crow swept its gaze across the area and returned happily. It then sucked in the old Sea Corpse Tribe Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
The old Sea Corpse Tribe Foundation Establishment Cultivator trembled, and the fear in his eyes turned into despair. A moment later, his soul was extracted, and his body withered. All of his Qi and blood was refined into a single drop, which was swallowed by the Golden Crow.
The shadow also had its fill of food, and was very satisfied.
Only the black metal skewer looked somewhat dejected. Within it, the Patriarch of the Vajra Sect felt an intense sense of crisis rise up in his heart. No matter how he looked at it, he seemed to have become somewhat redundant.
"This can't be!"
The Vajra Sect Patriarch felt that if this continued, he would not be able to escape the fate of being cannon fodder. Therefore, he felt the spiritual blood of the Corpse Tribe in his body, and decided to find some time to continue his breakthrough after leaving this place.
In reality, both the shadow and the Golden Crow were gradually becoming stronger. This was the manifestation of the spiritual liquid in their bodies. For example, the shadow could actually devour the Shadow of the Three Flames Cultivator.
The Golden Crow's divine aura was also clearly stronger, and the support it brought to Xu Qing's physical body was also continuously increasing.
"This time, it was worth it!"
Xu Qing took a deep breath and rushed toward the exit of the forbidden area. As he sped along, he was also deeply moved by the captain.
"Being chased by a Golden Core cultivator, the captain is indeed a fierce person." Xu Qing sighed. This time, it was indeed very dangerous. Fortunately, the captain had attracted most of the hatred. Otherwise, he felt that there would be even more people chasing after him.
At this moment, he burst into full speed and was about to reach the exit. Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, and without waiting for orders, the Vajra Sect Patriarch took the lead and rushed toward the exit to investigate first.
The shadow had also clearly recovered much of its intelligence, and it also spread out.
There was a look of admiration in Xu Qing's eyes. Seeing the Vajra Sect Patriarch and the shadow rush out, he was also mentally prepared. At this moment, the cultivation in his body was fully charged.
In the next breath, after sensing the situation outside through the shadow, Xu Qing was stunned. There was a look of contemplation in his eyes, and after a few breaths, he gritted his teeth and rushed toward the exit.
With a boom, his figure directly stepped through the exit.
Due to some inconvenient reasons, today's update was late.
