Qing Yuzi and Zhao Xing: Battle of the Divine Tree

Faced with Zhao Xing's questioning, Jin Wenliangzhu's voice seemed somewhat hollow and low, as if he were recalling something.

"Did I kill him? — Yes, I killed him."

Zhao Xing's thoughts were in turmoil.

He spent all his time hunting geese, only to have his eye pecked by one.

The most deaths among the egoist Sima Nong during his explorations of the wilderness occurred while he was recruiting troops.

So much so that people often say that dying under the control of the divine branches and trees is the fate of the egoist Sima Nong.

Unexpectedly, even the Divine King Yu Heng could not escape such a fate.

Thinking back carefully, I realized that I had encountered something similar before. In the ancient tomb in Yueluo Cemetery, the Thousand Illusion Tree had tried to harm me. At that time, the Thousand Illusion Tree was at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, while I was only at the Source Origin Realm. I almost fell for their trick.

Zhao Xing had never heard of the World God Tree, but he imagined that this divine tree, which grew beside the River of Time, must be extraordinary.

This led to a struggle and killing between Yu Heng and the other God King.

However, Zhao Xing's turbulent thoughts were quickly overwhelmed by his will to survive.

It is clear that this branch of the World God Tree is trying to take over my Internal World; this process is similar to Body Snatching.

"No one will save me this time; I have to save myself," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"The reason why the branch of the World God Tree has been talking so much nonsense to me is not because I have avenged my great enemy and have no one to tell, so I am saying all this."

"As a God King, Yu Heng could not possibly have failed to discover its existence. It is highly likely that he discovered it and left behind a means to restrain it."

"So where exactly is it?"

Although Zhao Xing no longer had the Zu Emperor Dynasty, divine power, or the ability to move, he could still mobilize magical power.

The true spirit cannot leave the Life Palace, but it can cast spells.

He unleashed the Seven Luminaries Immeasurable Heaven, attempting to regain control of the World Core and prevent the other party from entering his Internal World. However, after a brief surge, the World Core remained unshaken.

"It's useless." The youth's phantom reappeared on the golden sacred tree. "Your talent is quite good, but you're just a Demigod; you can't affect me at all."

"I won't kill you, I just want to control you and take me back to the Cosmic Forest."

Zhao Xing didn't believe a word he said.

To control oneself and become a slave is no different from killing oneself; losing free will means being nothing more than a walking corpse, no different from being dead.

"I wonder which of the nine branches you are."

"The Zhou Yuan".

"Was it named by the Divine King Yu Heng?"

Zhou Yuan remained silent.

Zhao Xing pressed his advantage. "Your intelligence only emerged after you entered the Internal World. All your knowledge was learned from Divine King Yu Heng. Did you at some point regard him as your Father God?"

Zhou Yuan remained silent.

"Let me guess, you're actually lying, aren't you?"

"The so-called infiltration and concealment are actually fake. Divine King Yu Heng knew from the beginning that this divine tree had developed spiritual consciousness, and even taught you many things—it's just that you betrayed him."

"Wrong! From the moment I was born, I began to absorb the nutrients of this world, and he always cleansed my body with his divine sense, so I naturally learned a lot of things," Zhou Yuan retorted.

"His training of you has gone beyond the level of training soldiers; he even treats you like family," Zhao Xing said to himself.

"So what if you guessed right? He was just using me as a tool, a place to house the soul of his Dao Companion."

"Then why didn't he mention it to Zhang Yue?" Zhao Xing sneered. "Since you know so much, you should know that the Four Realms Theory of the universe is unbreakable. Divine King Yu Heng, went to the Cosmic Forest and must also know that life born in the Great World will disappear along with the Great Destruction. This is an unchangeable ending."

"If he intended to turn you into a straw doll for Zhang Yue to use, he should have informed Zhang Yue long ago, since Zhang Yue was still alive at that time!"

"He was seriously injured before, and his Internal World had ruptured, but there was still hope for recovery. He just wanted to tell her after he succeeded."

"Oh? If that's the case, then why did he tell you about Zhang Yue's existence?"

"The God King Tower was meant to suppress me. Even on his deathbed, he wanted me to be a slave to his successors. You're completely wrong!"

"So you can only go out if you come with me?"

Zhou Yuan suddenly stopped talking. His previously agitated emotions seemed to have calmed down, and his voice became much calmer. "You don't need to waste your time. It's useless."

"I can wield power comparable to that of God King; you cannot resist it."

"The Karma Dao Oath has been fulfilled; you will leave."

Zhao Xing also fell silent. He had been observing the surrounding environment, hoping to gain some information from these exchanges.

I did learn some useful things, such as that the God King Tower was used to suppress the Zhou Yuan.

But that's not enough.

Just then, Zhao Xing's gaze fell on his feet, where a Golden Hairpin lay.

As the youth transformed from Zhou Yuan entered the body of the divine tree, the Golden Hairpin was rejected and fell to the ground.

"Earth Passage Art, Shifting."

Zhao Xing mobilized his Eighteen Tribulation True Spirit to make the ground bulge and writhe, and then handed the Golden Hairpin to himself. He actually succeeded!

However, this also consumed almost all of his energy.

He controlled the Golden Hairpin and thrust it towards his own World Core, which was then enveloped by a force.

"Clang!"

With this stab, the Golden Hairpin to dust.

"Meow~"

Laughter echoed from the Zhou Yuan.

"You actually went and picked it up when I deliberately dropped it at your feet?"

"Looks like you're not that smart after all."

"It really works?" Zhao Xing asked, not annoyed.

"That's right, but I took it the moment you came in. Nothing can stop me now."

"You claim to have the power of God King, yet you cannot disable my power of Favorable Timing and Location, location, and magic. Isn't that laughable?" Zhao Xing retorted sarcastically.

"It's okay, you won't be laughing in a bit."

Zhao Xing then threw out the only thing he had on him—his General's Order, his proof of entry.

The General's Order did indeed prevent the sacred tree from entering, but it quickly melted away.

Zhao Xing's heart sank to the bottom.

Now they were truly helpless, with no one to turn to for help.

There's nothing that can save him.

"I wonder if the big shots can revive me," Zhao Xing sighed inwardly, having exhausted all other options.

However, at that moment, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake.

Crackling sounds filled the air Zhao Xing sensed that Zhou Yuan's true form had retreated a bit.

"Huh? What happened?"

Zhao Xing and Zhou Yuan both looked towards the outside of the God King Tower.

A faint voice entered my mind.

"Zhao Xing, borrow your things to save my Lower Command— "

"The book is here!"

"Qing Yuzi, how dare you!"

"Marsh Divine General, you bastard, you've been stabbing me every day! I've put up with you for far too long, prepare to die!"

"Divine King Jin, please kill them."

"Ah--

Then came a loud bang, followed by screams at first, but they quickly stopped.

"Qing Yuzi?" Hope ignited in Zhao Xing's eyes.

Within the Internal World of the Divine King Yu Heng, which was completely Divine Concealment, he had no way of calling for help from the Moon God Palace Master or the Immeasurable True God.

But it is possible that the Qing Yuzi, which resides within the body's Internal World, could be.

"Lao Qing, save me!" Zhao Xing cried out in his heart, recalling the memory of Qing Yuzi passing on his lineage.

Outside the God King Tower, Qing Yuzi stood behind a proud divine figure, looking at the corpses and remains lying on the grassland before him, and let out a long breath, but the breath was purple.

His torso was naked, his head was covered with vines, his chest and back were covered with moss, and his feet had turned into wood.

"That dog grass pervert!" Qing Yuzi recalled the past and became angrier the more she thought about it.

He ran to a wrecked body and began to frantically whip it; the body belonged to Marsh Divine General.

"True Self Faction seen plenty of twisted egoists, but someone as twisted as you is truly one of a kind! Damn! Damn! Damn!"

"Five hundred years, do you know how I survived those five hundred years?!"

Finally, Qing Yuzi got tired and sat down on the ground, but then suddenly bounced up because there was still bamboo growing on her bottom.

Divine King Jin, unable to bear Qing Yuzi's miserable state, pointed and caused the Starry Crown above his head to scatter its brilliance.

"~" Seeds and plants kept tearing through the skin of the Qing Yuzi and being expelled.

"Whoosh~" The last fire burned to ashes.

Qing Yuzi was able to quickly regain her human form, but her divine power was much weaker than before.

"Thank you, Divine King Jin!"

Qing Yuzi bowed to the summoned God King.

"Do you still have any requests to make of me?" Divine King Jin asked.

No, Divine King Jin should return to the Dan Shu now.

Qing Yuzi was about to say that it was over, but then she suddenly heard Zhao Xing's voice.

"Um?"

After listening carefully for a while, Qing Yuzi's expression changed, and he quickly cupped his hands in greeting. "Divine King Jin, please enter this tower and help my friend escape!"

Divine King Jin then looked up at the tall tower covered in vegetation and shook his head. "No, I promised Divine King Zhang Yue."

"Entering the God King Tower is forbidden."

This wasn't his first time here, so he naturally recognized it as the God King Tower of Divine King Yu Heng.

"There's such a rule?" Qing Yuzi exclaimed anxiously. "Divine King Jin, but this isn't the legacy of Divine King Yu Heng at all. There's a divine tree here that's become a spirit and wants to harm people. This was an accident; it can't be considered a broken rule, can it?"

"A promise is a promise," Divine King Jin said firmly.

"Okay, then you can't go into the God King Tower. Just practice a couple of sets of punches outside, like you did before."

"The goal is to disturb the Time Origin surrounding the God King Tower."

Divine King Jin was clearly taken aback.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay."

"!!!"

The sounds Zhao Xing heard began to become rhythmic, as if an iron hammer was striking the void, loosening the surrounding oppression somewhat.

Above the sacred tree, Zhou Yuan's phantom appeared, looking somewhat annoyed at the Martial God King practicing his fist outside, and Qing Yuzi holding the Dan Shu.

"That damn thing, trapped in the Transformation Marsh for so long, and it's still not dead."

Zhao Xing was overjoyed; Lao Qing was truly a lucky star.

He actually escaped and even arrived at the God King Tower.

However, he soon became less happy.

Because he discovered that the God King's avatar summoned by Lao Qing and Dan Shu did not enter, but remained outside the God King Tower.

"What's going on? Why aren't you coming in?" Zhao Xing asked, puzzled.

"You expect Divine King Jin to come in?" Zhou Yuan sneered. "He was invited by Zhang Yue to come to Flowing Void Ravine three times to assist Zhang Yue in Time Reversal in an attempt to revive Yu Heng."

"Having wasted all their efforts, Zhang Yue knew that things were hopeless, so he demanded that those who helped him not reveal any information about this place, and even more so, not set foot inside the God King Tower to interfere with the inheritance."

"Zhao Xing, you can't stop me."

As time passed, Qing Yuzi, who was outside the palace, continued to interfere with Divine King Jin, but Zhao Xing was still unable to escape.

Although the violent upheavals slowed down the entry of the divine tree into the Internal World, this gradual encroachment was still ongoing.

Zhao Xing gradually lost the ability to sense the existence of the World Core, and he could no longer sense the Internal World.

It's as if it no longer belongs to me.

His thinking gradually became rigid, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

Eventually, he became increasingly disoriented, and the scene before him became fragmented.

It takes him a while to see clearly.

Each time they looked closely, they noticed that the sacred tree was getting shorter and shorter, clearly indicating that the invasion was nearing completion.

While he was still lucid, "Lao Qing" Zhao Xing began to make his final arrangements.

"Take my things and leave here."

"Tell Ji Si, the Immeasurable True God, the Moon God Palace Master, and my family—"

"By the way, just in case, I cannot be resurrected, Ten Directions Mountain Scripture— "

Outside the God King Tower, Qing Yuzi frowned and hissed:

"Zhao Xing, stop saying discouraging things!"

"Strive to communicate with your Internal World and fight it within that Internal World!"

"The relationship between the Primal Faction's agricultural system and the plant-based soldiers is simply a matter of whose will is stronger. As long as you can communicate with your inner world, the outcome is still uncertain!"

"Don't give up, please don't give up! If I take a bunch of your treasures back, people will think I, Qing Yuzi, killed someone to steal the scriptures. Don't tell them!"

Qing Yuzi kept encouraging Zhao Xing.

"I can't take it anymore, I've lost control of my body—it's too strong, I can't hold on, I'm so sleepy—" Zhao Xing's voice was broken.

"Even if we can't hold on, we must hold on!" Qing Yuzi's voice, like a thunderclap, resounded in Zhao Xing's mind:

"Do you know how I got trapped here? In Transformation Marsh!"

"Five hundred years! There are many tribes in that Transformation Marsh, all of whom are Human Race born from the Internal World of the Divine King Yu Heng."

"Damn, you have no idea how twisted those gods are. I seriously suspect that these native Human Race inherited the dark side of Divine King Yu Heng— "

They planted countless Parasitic Seeds in me, some even in my soul.

"I'm so sleepy—"

"Don't be sleepy, let me tell you something exciting!" Qing Yuzi shouted, "Do you know that for decades, my original form was even transformed into a woman by that Marsh Divine General, and even my soul's perception was distorted? That pervert actually wanted to cultivate with me—"

"—" Zhao Xing was actually not sleepy after Qing Yuzi said that.

He didn't know where the energy came from, but he just wanted to keep listening.

It would be nice to hear a story about Lao Qing's misfortunes before I die.

"And then what? Were you subjected to dual cultivation?"

"Survive, and I'll tell you what happens next," Qing Yuzi said. "Your Internal World was created by the World-Splitting Divine Stone, and you've also created the Six Theories of Star Annihilation. The potential within you is limitless; you can definitely unlock it!"

You have a lot of confidence in me.

Zhao Xing's voice became weak.

Qing Yuzi called out a few times, but received no further response.

"Zhao Xing!"

Qing Yuzi's eyes were slightly red. She knelt down on the ground and pounded her hands into the ground.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault—"

Since the closed loop was completed, Qing Yuzi also learned that everything Zhao Xing did was not necessary, but rather he came here to save her.

"With such a high Qidian and the support of the Immeasurable True God, you could have had an even brighter future—"

Qing Yuzi rarely blames herself. Years of experience have made her not only indifferent to everything and hard-hearted, but she also doesn't easily feel emotional, much less guilty, and doesn't let herself suffer internally.

But at this moment, he felt a deep sense of self-reproach and guilt. Looking back on his journey to godhood, Zhao Xing's contribution was indispensable.

Without Zhao Xing, his chances of becoming a god would be less than 30%, let alone the glorious rise he achieved later.

"Am I really a scourge?" Qing Yuzi's resolve began to waver. He muttered to himself, "Even someone as blessed as Zhao Xing was dragged down to his death by me—"

The karmic burden is too heavy to repay, and instead it leads to the death of Zhao Xing. This severely affects one's Dao heart, will, and mind. This is exactly what happened to Qing Yuzi at this time.

"I am a scourge—" Qing Yuzi's destructive tendencies intensified, a storm began to rage in his mind, and the fire of the divine burned in an evil way. He began to think more and more crookedly.

"I want to Heavenly Traversal, but wherever I go, there is only suffering and destruction. What exactly is the Way of Heaven? What is my Way of Heaven?"

Meanwhile, God King Tower, Zhao Xing, who had lost his voice, did not fall into darkness.

He actually broke through the seal of the World Core, and a wisp of his consciousness entered his Internal World.

Seeing the familiar Boundless Continent and Primordial Sea, as well as the binary star system, Zhao Xing was astonished.

"I didn't realize I had this potential?"

"So I really enjoy listening to gossip?"

Zhao Xing thought that it was Qing Yuzi had provoked him.

But he soon realized he was wrong.

On the Boundless Continent, a giant net sealed off the entire land, and the threads of that net were roots and stems.

They are like chains, enveloping and Entanglement the Boundless Continent.

The Primordial Sea was also constantly boiling, with fiery lines shooting upwards into the sky.

The Boundary Wall of the Internal World was also covered with spiderweb-like purplish-black roots, intertwined with the blue-gray Boundary Wall, making it look extremely strange.

A section of divine wood stood above the Boundless Continent; that was Zhou Yuan —it had completely entered the Internal World.

But it failed to take root and land for a long time; every time it was about to fall, its roots would quickly retract.

The same is true of the Primordial Sea and its Boundary Wall.

It seems to be trapped in a time loop.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing immediately understood what was going on.

His thoughts quickly became clear and were constantly being strengthened.

Finally, he clearly sensed the life form that existed within the Yin Yang Twin Stars System.

That was the radiance emanating from his Original Seed.

"The Ke Yang Divine Tree?!"

"So it was helping me all along!"

"I knew it wouldn't be because of Lao Qing— "

Zhao Xing stopped thinking about it and immediately sent his thoughts over there.

The Ke Yang Divine Tree was not much different from its original seed state. After hatching, it was still in the shape of a planet, except that two leaves were attached to the planet's surface.

However, its two leaves had already fully unfolded by this time.

One side radiated a fiery red light, while the other was a sky-blue color.

When Zhao Xing's consciousness reached out, he also sensed the two kinds of mental fluctuations transmitted from the divine tree.

The first type is: Master, this is highly nourishing.

The second one is: Master, it's too big, please help.

Zhao Xing's expression changed drastically.

The divine-level Original Seed was originally a seed, which consumed World-Splitting Divine Stone. Later, as it entered the seedling stage, its appetite grew larger and larger.

They consume divine-level origins such as Earth God Crystal and Time Granules.

Who would have thought that even the Zhou Yuan could be eaten now?

Good, good, good, as expected of my little Tree Son.

How can I help you?

Soon, the Ke Yang Divine Tree transmitted its message: Concentrate.

Zhao Xing understood.

He concentrated all the power of his Internal World and gave it to the Tree Son.

In the past, when Zhao Xing fed the Tree Son, only substances thrown into the Yin-Yang Star System could be eaten.

It is forbidden to take any spiritual energy or divine objects from the other areas.

Zhao Xing invested the World Stone to expand his Internal World, allowing it to evolve naturally. If he allowed the Tree Son to devour it, he would basically have no need to cultivate his Primal Chaos World, and his Internal World would also be upgraded and disappear, leaving only the Original Seed.

Within the Internal World, Zhao Xing is the ruler. The Original Seed born within the Internal World completely follow his will and are naturally well-behaved.

Now that his Internal World is facing a crisis, Zhao Xing can't care about anything else. He directly lifted the restriction and concentrated all the power of his Internal World on the god-level Original Seed.

"Buzz~"

Two leaves shone brightly with green and red light, slowly but firmly sweeping across the entire world.

After Zhou Yuan entered Zhao Xing's Internal World, he had already invaded six or seven tenths of Internal World, and all matter and spiritual energy were under his control.

It's already quite remarkable for Demigod to have such a vast Internal World. Originally, Zhou Yuan was worried that he wouldn't be able to enter it and wanted to expand it a bit.

But once inside, I found that I didn't need to do that at all.

There was one area that he attacked from the very beginning, but he was never able to explore it and didn't know what kind of mystical power it contained.

Zhou Yuan didn't take it to heart. The Divine King Yu Heng wasn't completely without precautions. He was far from being able to unleash his true power. Once he left Yu Heng's God King Tower and Yu Heng's Internal World, he would be completely free.

"Buzz"

Just then, Zhou Yuan discovered that a terrifying fluctuation suddenly erupted from the simplest star system.

Immediately afterwards, two beams of light, blue and red, illuminated the entire Internal World.

"Boom!"

The Zhou Yuan, which was originally standing upright and about to plunge into the Boundless Continent, was suddenly overturned by a beam of blue light. A young man jumped out of the wood and looked at the mysterious star system with surprise and uncertainty.

"It is the Time Great Dao!"

"Who is manipulating the Time Great Dao to devour my very essence?"

Zhou Yuan was somewhat shocked.

"Stretch!"

"Stretch!"

"Smack!"

The roots and green shoots that sprouted from his main body quickly broke off.

This scene reminded him of the memories that came with his original body, the scene of being cut off from the World God Tree.

"Whoosh~"

The body of Zhou Yuan emitted bursts of black light, which quickly intertwined to form a black hole, or rather, an eye.

He finally saw clearly what was in that area.

"A seedling? Capable of manipulating the Time Origin... could it be the Time Divine Tree?"

"But this power is far too strong. It's impossible that it's also a divine seed born in the Chaos Era."

"No, this is Original Seed born from Zhao Xing's Internal World?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned. His knowledge was completely inherited from Divine King Yu Heng. He quickly recognized that the time-type divine tree, which looked like Realm Star and had only two leaves, was in its seedling stage and was Original Seed born in this Internal World.

However, the power it unleashed was terrifyingly high. Although Zhou Yuan could not unleash 99% of its power, it was still comparable to the level of Human Race God King.

In this fundamental confrontation, they were actually being devoured by the other side!

"Click click click~"

Time Stasis, time reverses; in these two Innate Divine Skills, the roots that originated from the Zhou Yuan are swiftly severed and swallowed up.

It was as if an invisible maw, revealing a row of sharp teeth, was gnawing at him.

"Eat, eat, eat him!!"

Zhao Xing was invigorated. The Zhou Yuan within his own Internal World was like a tree without roots, and would only grow weaker and weaker as it was gradually devoured.

Looking at his own divine tree, it had already grown a third leaf in a short time!

"Very nourishing, extremely nourishing!"

The Tree Son sensed Zhao Xing's emotions and excitedly transmitted a thought to him.

Zhou Yuan tried to resist, but no matter what, the other side had the upper hand.

He planned to escape, but there was no way he could.

After forcing Zhao Xing to Karma Dao Oath, he had no choice but to follow the successor of the Divine King Yu Heng.

This is because it is the Great Dao Rule of the Internal World left behind by the Divine King Yu Huan.

There's no escaping it, and you can't win by fighting it.

What goes around comes around, and now it's Zhou Yuan's turn to be in dire straits.

"Zhao Xing, let's talk."

"Talk to you, you big dummy! Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Zhao Xing cursed without hesitation. "You've got a path to heaven but you refuse to take it, you've barged into hell! Die!"

.

Outside the God King Tower, Qing Yuzi knelt on the ground, drenched in sweat, while Liu Xi had fallen into a state of severe disorder.

He had been parasitized for hundreds of years, suffering great torment and even having his foundation affected. Now that his inner demons were born, he could no longer control them.

If it weren't for Yu Heng's Internal World, he would probably have immediately faced Divine Tribulation.

"I can't die. I have to go back and report the situation. Zhao Xing might still be alive."

"You killed Zhao Xing! He was a sage of Agricultural Official, a figure who could Heaven and Earth Attainment, and might even have saved Human Race. What use is a scourge like you alive? You might as well be dead!"

Two conflicting thoughts clashed in Qing Yuzi's mind, and flames began to burn on her body.

Everything around is unaffected by the flames, because it is the Heart Fire.

Liu Ran, unable to control himself, further fueled his Heart Fire.

Qing Yuzi seemed to be undergoing a trial by a Dao-breaker, and that Dao-breaker was himself.

"I didn't know, I had no idea he would come! I was just carrying out my mission, I never thought of it!" Qing Yuzi grabbed her own neck with one hand, while using the other to stop herself.

"Who are you kidding? You know Zhao Xing is special. His luck level is as high as Thirty-first Level, and he can write the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture. He's practically another Gu Luo River!"

"The Red Star Great Emperor was able to attain enlightenment because of the Gu Luo River. You've been contacting Zhao Xing and strengthening your karmic connection with him—isn't that your plan? To become another Red Star Great Emperor?"

"No, no, I Qing Yuzi, have never had any intention of making friends for personal gain," Qing Yuzi, her face contorted with pain.

"Hahaha, you're even fooling yourself."

Qing Yuzi felt a sense of suffocation, a suffocation of both body and mind, and his Realm Transformation red.

Even Zhao Xing's former appearance had turned blood red; his death was extremely gruesome, his body covered in moss and vines that slowly crawled towards him, their voices mournful:

"Lao Qing, I died such a terrible death~"

"Ah! Don't come any closer, don't come any closer—"

Qing Yuzi shifted his position, bracing himself with his hands, and kept backing away, his eyes filled with fear.

Zhao Xing stopped and stood there speechless.

How did Qing Yuzi turn out like this in such a short time?

"Lao Qing, what are you muttering about? Why are you acting like you've seen a ghost when you see me?"

"Hiss, you haven't Going Berserk, have you?"

Having just fought a fierce battle and feeling utterly exhausted, Zhao Xing belatedly noticed Qing Yuzi's unusual behavior.

He walked quickly to Qing Yuzi's side, a move that startled Qing Yuzi even more.

"Damn it, what happened to you? Your Heart Fire burned through the sea, and even the Six Unbound Divine Patterns melted away—what exactly did that Divine General to torture you?!" Zhao Xing used the Earth Palace Art to suck Qing Yuzi to the ground.

But Lao Qing was like a pig during the Lunar New Year, impossible to restrain. He kept mumbling incoherently and trying to run away.

Fortunately, Zhao Xing and Bi Qi's medical skills were not for nothing. They made a quick decision and summoned the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

All twelve Heaven-Changing Divine Needle pierced into Qing Yuzi's body, suppressing his Heart Fire.

Qing Yuzi finally calmed down.

The world before his eyes was no longer blood red, but clear again.

"Zhao Xing? It really is you. You're not dead?" Qing Yuzi sat up abruptly, breaking free from his restraints and grabbing Zhao Xing.

"It's me," Zhao Xing nodded. "If you don't believe me, check the history books and see if I'm just a figment of imagination."

"Or, ask me a few personal questions."

"No, no need." Qing Yuzi's inner demons came and went quickly. His condition was that he Marsh Divine General while in the Transformation Marsh.

And the determination of Zhao Xing's death triggered this.

He's a man who's experienced great highs and lows, so he's not easily swayed. Now that Zhao Xing is still alive, most of the root of the problem has been removed.

Recovery began immediately.

"You're not going to ask me? Then I'll have to ask you." Zhao Xing grinned slyly.

"What?" Qing Yuzi was taken aback, but he immediately realized what Zhao Xing was about to ask.

"That's fake. I just made it up to provoke you. How Marsh Divine General have such an ability?"

"Really? It can't be—"

"Ask your grandpa, get lost!" Qing Yuzi, enraged, kicked Zhao Xing away.
