1322 I’ll Continue Being Invincible (1)

From the Jiuli removing themselves, the suppression of the Ancestral Magi, to the Fishing the Moon From the Well, the Seven Lanterns Underworld Fire, and the descent of the three divine authorities, all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, Flame Mystic, who had a terrifying body, was frozen in place. His soul was frozen and so was his mind.

His weakness was only relative and not a real weakness. However, against Xu Qing, this flaw proved to be fatal.

Moreover, he didn’t need any life substitution. Compared to letting a defeated enemy die in his place in the future, he was more inclined to directly kill him at this moment and end the karma.

Hence, he didn’t hold back at all and went all out.

His hand transformed into a huge palm that suddenly grabbed at Flame Mystic.

This hand seemed both illusory and corporeal. It was as though it was formed by fate and contained an indescribable profundity. The moment it landed, more ripples appeared in the sky that had turned into water.

Silently, water splashed up. Flame Mystic’s soul, which was reflected on the surface of the water, was scooped out by the large hand along with the water in the surrounding void.

Immediately, Flame Mystic’s body lost its luster and he became a walking corpse. As for the soul Xu Qing fished out, it was extremely resplendent and colorful. Only its expression was equally dull.

A cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He closed his fingers and clenched them ruthlessly.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Although the originally sluggish soul didn’t have any expression of struggle, it suddenly became blurry. It was unknown what heaven-defying technique it used but it actually disappeared and escaped from the large hand.

A dark glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. Almost at the instant Flame Mystic’s soul escaped, the seven lanterns of the Underworld Fire Curse that appeared behind him flickered and were extinguished in unison.

When the lanterns were extinguished, the curse erupted.

A muffled groan rang out from the void. Flame Mystic’s missing soul was forced out of thin air in the distance. Moreover, the light was no longer resplendent and was incomparably dim. His soul body and expression were also blurry.

At this moment, the three divine authorities behind Xu Qing erupted at the same time, forming three golden threads that tore through the void, fate, life and death, flashing toward the dim soul.

Using karma to lock onto him and fate to kill, they directly appeared around the soul.

The three golden threads suddenly intertwined and slashed over.

The sky changed color and the ground rumbled. Flame Mystic’s soul split into several parts, turning into specks of fluorescent light that dissipated in the air.

This scene was clean and efficient. One could see how decisive Xu Qing was.

However, Xu Qing’s attack wasn’t over. Almost at the instant he killed Flame Mystic’s soul, he had already arrived beside Flame Mystic’s body with a step and slashed down.

After losing his soul and becoming a walking corpse, Flame Mystic’s head instantly flew up and his body collapsed, turning into flesh and blood.

With a wave of Xu Qing’s hand, black flames swept out, burning this shattered body into ashes.

Although Flame Mystic’s body was special and it was difficult for him to turn into ashes, it was already impossible for him to revive with the help of this burning body.

Moreover, everything happened too quickly, so much so that most of the Flame Moon cultivators who were paying attention to this battle were shocked. Their expressions changed drastically and many of them revealed looks of disbelief.

However, nobles of Flame Moon, the experts from the affiliated races, and the three magistrates didn’t have any special changes in their expressions. All of them looked very calm.

As for Xu Qing, he also didn’t have the feeling of victory from killing Flame Mystic. He frowned slightly and turned to look at the place where the fragments of Flame Mystic’s burned body were.

Then, his pupils constricted.

At the location where Flame Mystic’s body was shattered, an illusion actually appeared.

There was a tomb in this illusion. It was actually the emperor’s tomb in the Divine Realm. One could see Flame Mystic’s figure sitting cross-legged on the huge canopy.

In the blink of an eye, the illusion blurred. When it appeared again, it was still Flame Mystic. However, the environment had changed and the Mountains and Seas Region had appeared.

After that, in the blink of an eye, this illusion appeared hundreds of times. Every time, the one that appeared inside was Flame Mystic…

To be precise, it was Flame Mystic from different periods in the past.

It was the figure he had projected at hundreds of time nodes in the past.

Xu Qing didn’t stop him. Instead, his gaze flickered as he stared at the scene of Flame Mystic not being on guard at all to perform such a bizarre art that was close to a divine technique.

After those illusionary figures appeared, they dissipated one after another, transforming into countless points of light that rapidly gathered. Finally, they formed a massive ring.

Dense time power erupted from within.

Seven to eight breaths later, Flame Mystic’s corporeal body appeared and he walked out of the circle of light.

The moment he appeared, the floating flesh and blood in the surroundings dissipated. The circle on his back also instantly contracted and finally transformed into a pearl that landed in Flame Mystic’s hand.

His appearance didn’t seem any different from before, but his temperament was different. In the past, although Flame Mystic’s appearance wasn’t ordinary, he was more resolute, so he was handsome.

But now… it could only be described as beautiful.

He had become her.

It was the same for the body. Her chest bulged and her waist became slender. Her legs were also much slender under the robe. Her steadfastness was no longer there and was replaced by coldness.

Xu Qing was comparing the change according to his memories.

The crowd instantly fell silent. Those who knew that Flame Mystic’s divine art was peculiar weren’t moved. However, those who didn’t know were stunned.

The captain blinked and chuckled inwardly.

At the same time, Xu Qing, who was in the air, fell into profound thought.

“The captain once stated that in the Mountains and Seas Region, he saw this person displaying a great divine technique that was near to a divine technique. This art is strange. After it is used, the gender will change.”
