Chen Qing was terrifying at this moment!
Both Liu Yu and Ziyue could sense the unfathomable aura emanating from Chen Qing. From the moment he appeared, he hadn't focused his attention on them, but rather on an even more terrifying aura that came with the spatial rift not far away.
Liu Yu sensed that aura and immediately fell silent. He hadn't expected Chen Qing to come along, and even the already corrupted Xiao Mingyue could come along!
Things kept spiraling out of control, which made him somewhat bewildered.
"Not everything can be controlled by spatial magic; you're too superstitious about this power."
Chen Qing didn't look at Liu Yu, but seemed to understand what Liu Yu was thinking. He said calmly, " The Outer Heaven Demon Statue you saw are all infinitely far away from this world. In your understanding, they are in the infinite heavens. It's practically impossible to walk or fly here from that distance. So how did they get here?"
Liu Yu looked up and stared blankly at Chen Qing.
"The power of space." Chen Qing sighed, "Nothing in this world understands the power of space better than the extraterrestrial forces. The methods you possess are nothing but child's play to them. You think you can use the power of space to control divine blood for your own purposes? You are too arrogant, Liu Yu!"
Liu Yu: "."
I think someone once said that about me, didn't they?
Don't be too superstitious about spatial magic, Liu Yu. It's not as useful as you think.
"No, it's because of you!" Liu Yu shouted angrily, "You used Wang Ye to activate the Flying Star and catch up with me. You left a loophole in that thing, not me. If this world suffers a great calamity, it will be because of you, not because of me!"
Liu Yu Yu's hysterical outburst was not without reason. From the moment Xiao Mingyue broke through the blockade and tracked him here, it meant that things were out of control. He knew very well how terrifying that divine blood was. If a single drop fell into the water and was not properly controlled, it would spread infinitely. Once it broke free from the spatial constraints, the entire world would be infected by that terror!
This was not what he wanted, because he was originally in control of everything, but this person in front of him had disrupted his plans!
"Is that what you think?" Chen Qing sighed, still not turning around, but she advised the other person, "Why don't you turn around and take a look?"
Looking back?
Liu Yu suspected it was a conspiracy, that the other party was diverting attention to find the best opportunity to kill him. But then he thought it might not be, because given the current aura emanating from the other party at this distance, he had no chance to use Flying Star again.
Thinking of this, he finally turned around slowly, and then froze completely.
Behind him was his Dharma image, but at some point, his own Evening Elephant had become riddled with holes, its body bulging with fleshy lumps, almost exactly like the tumorous Xiao Mingyue!
When was it?
"It was the first time you tried to trap the divine blood with spatial power." This time, Chen Qing didn't speak; it was Ziyue who spoke, also with a helpless expression. "I really don't know what you're thinking? You say I'm your nemesis, but I'm just a product of research by a few human sorcerer families. Even so, you couldn't get rid of me with the Evening Elephant. What makes you think you can control ancient beings with millions of years of history with the Evening Elephant?"
"No, I didn't rely on the Evening Elephant." Liu Yu shook his head, a hint of panic in his voice for the first time, as he tried his best to explain, "I used the Dragon Palace's spatial array."
"Activating the Dragon Palace's spatial array uses your own spatial magic. You use your own spatial magic to manipulate the Dragon Palace's spatial magic, so naturally others can also bypass the Dragon Palace and find you directly," Ziyue said calmly. "You've always liked to take risks and try to gain big advantages, but you've never considered that taking risks and trying to gain big advantages is a shortcut. Since it's a shortcut, it's naturally full of risks. Why do you think it's foolproof?"
"I"
Ziyue ignored Liu Yu and instead looked at Chen Qing: "What do you plan to do?"
Chen Qing did not reply. Looking at the approaching icy aura in the distance, he gently clenched his right hand, and a huge gust of wind descended from the sky like a sweeping tornado rushed into Chen Qing's hand. The exaggerated power made Liu Yu and the others unable to open their eyes.
The next instant, the tornado transformed into a trident the size of a human in Chen Qing's hand!
Neither Liu Yu nor Ziyue could understand where Chen Qing's power came from. He hadn't Dragon Transformation, yet the power he displayed was many times stronger than that of Chen Baifeng, who had just Dragon King Breed!
Feeling the surging power, Chen Qing felt a sense of security, as if everything was back under his control. Since coming into this world, he had been pursuing power, but due to a lack of time, he was always far from the most dangerous things, especially when he was threatened by the Xiao Household emperor for the first time.
And now, whether it's temporary or not, he's certain that he's currently among the strongest in the world!
The cold darkness arrived as expected, and from the spatial rift, crawled out Xiao Mingyue, who was no longer human.
Chen Qing looked around. Liu Yu had chosen a good spot; at least it wasn't in the sea. If the blood on this thing didn't get wet, it would be slower to spread by the wind. Even though the monster's blood had already rotted a large area of the earth the moment it came out!
The trees showed visible mutations; their mutated roots, like living earthworms, kept burrowing into the soil and spreading to the surrounding area.
Seeing this, Chen Qing couldn't help but sigh, "You fatso, you've had it easy. After escaping from the Dragon Palace, you married a few wives and then just lay down and did nothing. And now you've given birth to a bastard who's caused me such a huge mess. You're really something else."
"That's true, you've always been like this. You're the most troublesome person in my project team, always writing stuff with the most bugs, and I always have to clean up your messes. After all these years, you still haven't changed."
Liu Yu stared blankly at Chen Qing, completely unable to understand what Chen Qing was saying, but Ziyue beside him suddenly looked up and stared intently at Chen Qing!!
"Fine, I'll clean up your mess one last time!"
" Chen Qing." From within the enormous, twisted body opposite, came Xiao Mingyue's alluring voice.
The laughter was so seductive it was hard to believe that such a disgusting monster could utter it.
"Are you waiting for me here because you can't wait to fulfill our promise?"
"This..." Chen Qing looked at the other party speechlessly. Although Xiao Mingyue's invitation before was somewhat immoral, it was at least a sensual affair. This one, however, was a bit too much.
"What?" Xiao Mingyue's tone turned cold. "You think I'm not good-looking anymore? Don't worry, soon you'll look just like me."
"I will make Your Highness as beautiful as before." Chen Qing dripped the blood from his hand onto the trident. In the sunlight, Chen Qing's blood was golden, shimmering with a light that even the sun paled in comparison.
Xiao Mingyue stared intently at the blood on Chen Qing's hands, becoming momentarily mesmerized.
"How could my Great Jin princess, such an outstanding human daughter, be allowed to be ruined like this by something from beyond the heavens?"
The trident, gleaming with golden light, was raised, and Chen Qing looked at Xiao Mingyue with utmost solemnity. "Your Highness, rest assured, after your death, I will have Fei Jun perform the mourning rites for you. You will be present to offer sacrifices during Qingming and Hanshi festivals!"
"Why?"
Behind him, Ziyue stared blankly at Chen Qing and asked.
"Because at the last moment, she cared for humanity!" Chen Qing said, looking at Xiao Mingyue who hadn't moved. "She possessed the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, which she could have used to perish together with others when she was finally corrupted, but she didn't. She knew that once that thing erupted, combined with divine blood, the East Sea would be instantly engulfed in flames, and this world would soon be consumed by fire as well."
Upon hearing this, Ziyue also looked at Xiao Mingyue.
"She was unwilling to perish together with Liu Yu; she was willing to lose to him. For this, she deserved to be called the Grand Princess of the Great Jin!"
A dragon's roar soared into the sky, and a massive wind gathered around Chen Qing, its immense power completely isolating Chen Qing and Xiao Mingyue, who had followed him!
"Isn't he afraid we'll run away?" Liu Yu asked, gazing at the isolated hurricane.
"He never took you seriously from the start," Ziyue replied coldly, seemingly too lazy to even turn around and glance at Liu Yu.
Beside Ziyue, Wang Ye, who had already transformed into his Ancient Insect form, stared blankly at the massive wind wall.
Inside the wind wall, Chen Qing's entire body was covered in dragon scale armor, and he faced off against the completely corrupted Xiao Mingyue.
"Your Majesty, I, Chen Qing, Prefect of Liuzhou, hereby escort Your Highness on your journey!"
