654 Purple Crystal Terrifies the Heavenly Palaces

Noticing that Xu Qing didn’t take the opportunity to escape, the old man from the Painting Race turned grim.

‘This kid is too cautious. In that case, I can only use another plan!’

The old man snorted inwardly and continued painting.

At that moment, the nourishing power from the Golden Crow in Xu Qing’s body rapidly surged into the Tenth Heavenly Palace. Waves of rumbling sounds echoed in his sea of consciousness and the Tenth Heavenly Palace quickly materialized.

“After a Foundation Building cultivator forms five balls of life fire, they will be able to materialize a maximum of eight Heavenly Palaces, excluding the life lanterns.”

“Among my ten Heavenly Palaces, three of them were formed by life lanterns. Now, my seventh palace of the eight Heavenly Palaces is forming.”

“Once this palace is formed, I’m only one palace away from the Perfected Golden Core Realm!”

Xu Qing’s thoughts moved rapidly and the power of the Golden Crow’s nourishment continued to erupt. Just like that, time passed bit by bit. When 70% of the god’s body was drawn and the sun’s flesh was seriously withered, the Tenth Heavenly Palace in Xu Qing’s body was more than 50% materialized.

“Soon.”

Xu Qing’s heart rose with anticipation. He really wanted to know what would happen when he placed the purple crystal in the Tenth Palace.

Hence, while paying attention to the old man, he observed the materialization of the Heavenly Palace.

Very soon, his Tenth Heavenly Palace’s materialization reached 90%.

Tens of breaths later, when the god’s body was only missing a head, the Tenth Heavenly Palace in Xu Qing’s body finally materialized by 99% amidst the earth-shattering rumbling in the sea of consciousness.

“Purple crystal!” Xu Qing’s hand turned translucent and he pierced his chest. He endured the discomfort and intense pain and grabbed the purple crystal inside.

He didn’t take it out but pushed it inwards and sent it to his sea of consciousness.

“Fuse!” The anticipation in Xu Qing’s heart was extremely intense at this moment.

However, just as the purple crystal got close to his sea of consciousness and before it could completely enter it, an intense rejection erupted from Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness.

This rejection wasn’t from one palace but from all the Heavenly Palaces in Xu Qing’s body. At this moment, they instinctively emitted intense fluctuations.

Xu Qing was startled.

The rejection of the Heavenly Palaces seemed to have stimulated the purple crystal, as though it couldn’t be offended. A trace of an incomparable supreme power that surpassed the heavenly might was emitted from the purple crystal.

This trace contained extreme domineeringness. It was vast and supreme, as though it could suppress the world and everything.

The purple crystal seemed to have transformed into an ancient, majestic divine mountain.

Compared to it, Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness was like a small pocket.

It was impossible to use a pocket to contain a huge object.

Cracks started appearing in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness, and his ten Heavenly Palaces also started shaking violently.

Regardless of whether it was the black umbrella lantern, the Rainbow Wind Song Lantern, or the Nether Spirit Blood Wing Lantern, the supreme fire on them that seemed to burn eternally actually showed signs of extinguishing!

It was as though even they, who were born from the bloodline of the ancient sovereigns and rulers, couldn’t withstand this trace of suppression power from the purple crystal.

They even showed signs of shattering.

Xu Qing didn’t expect this scene. His expression changed drastically like never before. Even the Heavenly Palace where the Poison Restriction Pill was located revealed a scene that he couldn’t believe.

The Poison Restriction Pill, this divine curse power from the Divine Realm, contracted intensely. It grew blurry, as if it was being erased. It became highly unstable, exhibiting signs of potential collapse and imminent explosion.

There was also the Purple Moon Heavenly Palace. The Purple Moon originated from the Crimson Goddess, but it was shaking in the Heavenly Palace, akin to a vulnerable young girl encountering a menacing hoodlum. It also started showing signs of shattering.

These situations had never happened before!

“Wha…” Xu Qing’s breathing was hurried and was in extreme shock. He never expected such a situation.

Even the Heavenly Dao Mosasaur Palace and the Ghost Emperor Mountain Palace were also shaking violently at this moment. The emotions transmitted by the mosasaur contained extreme horror as though it had seen a terrifying existence.

As for the figure of the Ghost Emperor Mountain, it slowly lowered its head toward the purple crystal, revealing its submission.

The Golden Crow, which had reached the third level and transformed into a Dao Nascent, was extremely nervous and let out waves of whimpers.

All of this caused Xu Qing’s mind to be like the surface of the sea under a storm. Large waves surged and thunder rumbled.

He knew that his purple crystal wasn’t ordinary. After all, even the shadow was suppressed by it. However, he never expected it to be this terrifying.

He had only moved the purple crystal slightly closer to his sea of consciousness and hadn’t really placed it in the Heavenly Palace, but the Heavenly Palaces in his sea of consciousness were like little girls who were faced with a bully. They displayed extreme changes and looked like they didn’t want the purple crystal to come over.

They instinctively emitted some rejection under this stimulation, but it caused the purple crystal to suppress them domineeringly.

If Xu Qing were to insist on moving the purple crystal closer to his sea of consciousness, his sea of consciousness wouldn’t be able to withstand it and would instantly shatter into pieces. All the Heavenly Palaces would also instantly collapse.

Xu Qing’s hands trembled. He felt that what he was holding wasn’t a purple crystal but a world-destroying lightning. Hence, he didn’t hesitate at all and gently moved it away from his sea of consciousness, carefully placing it back in his chest.

As the purple crystal left, his sea of consciousness finally stopped shaking and returned to normal.

“What exactly is it!”

Xu Qing was completely soaked in cold sweat. He felt that his understanding of the purple crystal was really too little. However, he understood that now wasn’t the time to think about these things. Hence, he forcefully suppressed the palpitations caused by this matter.

“If the purple crystal can’t be contained…” Determination appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He then took out the bamboo slips that contained the power of D132’s guardian and the god’s finger.

These broken bamboo slips recorded Xu Qing’s understanding every time he woke up. They were an item he had created on his own with the help of D132.

They were filled with the two different powers of memory and forgetting. After Xu Qing took them out, he sent them into his sea of consciousness and into the Tenth Heavenly Palace.

The instant he placed them in, all the pieces of the bamboo slip shattered and turned into ashes. They gathered again and finally… formed a bamboo slip that shone with blood light.

The bamboo slip was engraved with densely-packed characters. That was Xu Qing’s handwriting.

These characters were sometimes blurry, sometimes clear, sometimes completely gone, and sometimes covering all of the bamboo slip. Dense blood light shone from it, dying the Tenth Heavenly Palace red.

The appearance of the Tenth Heavenly Palace also changed. It actually became D132!

The blood light on it was exactly the same as the light on the god’s finger.

However, upon closer inspection, Xu Qing saw some white threads mixed in the blood light. As they intertwined and fused into one, the bamboo slip floating in the Heavenly Palace that looked like D132 emitted endless evilness under this red and white light.

The moment it took shape, Xu Qing’s cultivation base soared. It could even be said that at this moment, Xu Qing had basically reached the peak of the Golden Core realm.

Looking back at the history, there had been people like him in the Wanggu Continent, but they were definitely extremely rare.

In his Heavenly Palaces, there were Poison Restriction Divine Curse, Purple Moon Divine Source, and Misfortune Divine Power.

Just these three were enough to shock anyone, let alone when there was also Heavenly Dao Mosasaur, the figure of the Ghost Emperor Mountain, and the morning glow formed by the fall of the sun. ????????????????e????????. ????????????

Such a Golden Core couldn’t be treated as a Golden Core at all. If Xu Qing encountered Chu Tianqun again, he could suppress him easily and in a very short time.

In fact, if he wanted to, he could attempt to break through the major realm now and advance to the Heavenly Mandate Dao Nascent Realm, which was the Nascent Soul realm.

However, Xu Qing hadn’t reached his limit yet. There was still one palace left to complete the limit of the eight palaces formed by his five life fires.

At the thought of this, Xu Qing took a deep breath. His gaze flickered, revealing a sharp glint as he looked at the old man from the Painting Race.

At that moment, the body that the old man had drawn for the god had roughly formed, but it had no pinky on its right hand.

Other than that, the head’s outline was already drawn and only its face was missing.

As Xu Qing looked at the old man, the old man also looked at Xu Qing. After smiling bizarrely at Xu Qing, he lifted his right hand that was holding the brush and quickly drew the face of this body.

It was… Xu Qing’s face!

Just as the coldness in Xu Qing’s eyes intensified, the old man quickly made two strokes to draw the eyes on the face. Immediately, the huge body he drew started to emit signs of coming to life.

“Great chosen god, this is the body I drew for you. It’s completed!”

After the old man finished drawing, he immediately retreated with all his speed.

The god’s finger emitted excited and ecstatic fluctuations and rushed toward the body, rapidly fusing into it. The surrounding restriction also swayed intensely and showed signs of loosening.

Xu Qing moved at this moment.

With a boom, he flew out of the withered part of the sun’s flesh and ran in another direction at full speed. With the help of the loosening of the restriction, he was able to directly pass through it.

The painting old man was the same. As the two of them fled at lightning speed, the heads and the stone lion also rushed out.

The god’s finger didn’t have the time to care about them. It was doing its best to fuse into the body, and the body was getting smaller and smaller.

Countless flesh buds started growing on the finger, forming countless flesh threads that rapidly drilled into the body.

Under Its efforts, the eyelids of the body began to twitch, as though they were about to open.

The distortion and blurriness in the surroundings became increasingly intense. As the violent energy storm roared and the last strand of flesh entered the body, its eyelids finally opened.

However, the instant the body opened its eyes, cracks appeared on it and rapidly spread until they covered all the areas. A loud explosion echoed…

This body actually shattered into pieces!

A huge energy wave swept in all directions.

A furious roar also spread with the rising dust. It was filled with madness and anger as it immediately spread through an endless range.

The head and stone lion was immediately hit by the roar and exploded.

In the distance, the painting old man’s body also turned blurry from the impact and showed signs of dissipating. However, he wasn’t frightened. Instead, regret appeared on his face as he muttered inwardly.

“It couldn’t restrain the god? What a pity, it was such a good opportunity. Forget it, forget it. It’s more important to escape now.”

The old man sighed inwardly, but he let out an impassioned shout.

“Lord god, don’t panic. I didn’t prepare one body for you, but two!”

“One is a painting and the other is real, so they’re exactly the same. You… can try another one!”
