Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu immediately retorted:
Is this your second question?
"..."
The Quasi-Emperor Formless hesitated for a moment, then still refused:
No, that doesn't count.
He knew very well:
That so-called " Dao of Myriad Calamities " must be Chen Qingyu's greatest secret.
Everyone in the world is different, and even if Chen Qingyu explained the mysteries to him, he might not be able to understand anything.
Not to mention, his Dao Path was already set and could not be changed, so knowing it wouldn't be of much use.
"Listen up, kid!"
The tone of the Quasi-Emperor Formless became deep and serious:
My second question is very simple.
"Are you truly a reincarnation of Peak Quasi-Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu was slightly startled.
It is obvious:
Unlike others, Quasi-Emperor Formless watched him grow and rise to power.
He probably already had suspicions in his heart, and only now is he taking this opportunity to ask them.
"... no."
Chen Qingyu spoke calmly and slowly:
"I have never been some reincarnation of Peak Quasi-Emperor, I am simply who I am."
As he finished speaking:
The Quasi-Emperor Formless remained silent, his heart filled with turbulent waves.
Although he had suspected this for a long time, Chen Qingyu's personal admission still greatly shocked him!
You should know--
He knew Chen Qingyu's true age.
It's only been a few years! How long has he been cultivating? How could he have progressed from a lowly martial artist to Peak Quasi-Emperor?
If this were to get out, no one would believe it.
Let alone others, even he himself would doubt whether such a thing really existed.
"... Very good, very good!"
After a long silence, the Quasi-Emperor Formless Wuxiang spoke in an enigmatic tone:
"It seems you're ten times, a hundred times, more powerful than I imagined!"
"If it were a different time and place, I would be very happy to be your friend."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu raised an eyebrow:
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be friends with someone like you."
"Oh..."
The Quasi-Emperor Formless chuckled lightly and said slowly:
"We've been talking for ages, haven't you stalled for time enough?"
"Let me guess, perhaps you have a powerful ally on their way?"
Chen Qingyu narrowed his eyes and chuckled:
"Aren't you stalling for time too?"
"You think that after Quasi-Emperor Huanmeng defeats Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu, he'll come and join forces against me? You're just dreaming!"
Long before he broke free from the Illusory Dream Prison:
He then used the Kunyu Command Talisman to send a message to the Emperor Venerable Qinglu on the fourth level of the Divine Throne.
Emperor Venerable Qinglu's reply was very simple--
She's on her way, but getting off the fourth floor is a bit tricky and will take some time. She asked him to stall for time as much as possible.
Once Emperor Venerable Qinglu arrives, no matter how cunning and treacherous Quasi-Emperor Formless, he will surely die without a burial place and will have no chance of survival.
That's why he was so confident and agreed to the exchange with the Quasi-Emperor Formless.
Everyone's trying to stall for time; who's afraid of whom?
He was certain that before the Quasi-Emperor Huanmeng could defeat the Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu, the Emperor Venerable Qinglu would arrive and kill the Quasi-Emperor Formless on the spot!
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The Quasi-Emperor Formless Wuxiang laughed loudly:
"Kid, you're still too green to mess with me!"
Do you really think I'd be like you, placing my hopes on others?
Before the words were finished:
Chen Qingyu suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Whoosh!"
An invisible Formless wisp of black smoke instantly emerged from his body and rushed rapidly towards the distant battlefield.
"Not good!"
Chen Qingyu's expression changed drastically in an instant.
In the distant sky:
The seemingly impenetrable Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu, who had been guarding the area flawlessly, was now standing there dumbfounded, unaware of what had happened.
Upon closer inspection, her eyes Central Capital a hint of confusion and dazedness, and wisps of black smoke swirled around her body, accompanied by faint iridescent colors.
Brother Formless!
The Quasi-Emperor Huanmeng was overjoyed and let out a long roar:
"Your plan has succeeded! I have shattered her soul and Primal Spirit! Come quickly!!"
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The Quasi-Emperor Formless transformed into black smoke, rapidly sweeping towards the Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu, his laughter shaking the entire sky.
"Today is the day I attain enlightenment!"
Damn it!
Chen Qingyu's pupils contracted, and his body instantly transformed into golden light as he gave chase.
He never expected this:
Even though the true form of the Quasi-Emperor Formless was entangled by him, he still had the ability to silently erode a Peak Quasi-Emperor whose soul was extremely stable!
One wrong move, and the whole game is lost!
"Oh shit..."
After chasing for less than a tenth of a second, Chen Qingyu gave up.
The formless celestial Formless Heavenly Demon Quasi-Emperor Formless, almost completely transcended the limitations of physical form, and its speed was unbelievable!
Even his [ Golden Light Traversing the Earth ] escape technique, due to being a beat too slow in the rush, had already missed its chance—by the time he caught up with the Quasi-Emperor Formless, the latter had already devoured the Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu's soul!
At the critical moment--
"Stop, time!!"
Chen Qingyu roared, his roar shaking the heavens like a thunderclap.
The Divine Treasure power was fully unleashed through the Myriad Calamity Wheel Seal, activating the [ Omnidirectional Calamity ] to push the super-distorted gravity to its peak, instantly touching the mysterious realm of time!
In that instant, the river of time was abruptly severed, and all things in heaven and earth came to a standstill!
"Call..."
Chen Qingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not delay, and immediately prepared to seize the time to catch up.
Faced with the power of Peak Quasi-Emperor, he could only stop time for a fleeting moment; the opportunity was gone in an instant!
However:
A scene he never dreamed of unfolded:
In a world where time Quasi-Emperor Formless had transformed into was still drifting rapidly, completely unaffected.
"This..."
Chen Qingyu's eyes widened, his face showing shock.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The mad laughter of the Quasi-Emperor Formless was like a violent storm sweeping across the heavens and the earth, resounding throughout the sky and the land.
"Kid! You think I don't know you can stop time?!"
"Let me tell you, while the power of time is indeed the most supreme and magnificent force, it is far from being invincible!"
"In this world, there are a very few powers that defy time—the power of the mind—that can transcend time!!"
"Thirty thousand years of humiliation and forbearance, thirty thousand years of painstaking effort—the moment I emerge from my cocoon, no one, no force, can stop me!"
"This is the true magic that belongs to me— the Soul of Freedom!!"
The divine voice of the Quasi-Emperor Formless resounded in the stillness of time.
In that instant:
Chen Qingyu was too late to catch up and could only watch helplessly as the Quasi-Emperor Formless pounced on the Quasi-Emperor Hongxiu.
Perhaps, even if he catches up, it won't make a difference.
The Dao technique of the Quasi-Emperor Formless, " Soul of Freedom," can ignore all obstacles and transcend all limitations; even time cannot stop it!
At this moment, Chen Qingyu was two moves behind, and no one could stop the Quasi-Emperor Formless anymore.
