Chapter 1246: Curse, Taboo Art, Divine Technique
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It had to be said that as a heaven’s chosen of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, Prince Mingnan’s combat strength was indeed astonishing. If it was anyone else of the same generation, they would probably find it difficult to fight him.
Prince Mingnan had a tough physical body.
His spells were also bizarre and incisive.
This was especially so for that Return to the Light blessing. It was the same as Xu Qing’s time law. It was an art that allowed him to be immortal to a certain extent.
Such an opponent was extremely difficult to kill.
Similarly, it also stimulated Xu Qing’s battle intent. At that moment, a ghost lantern appeared on his forehead!
After that, Xu Qing’s finger moved and landed on his left shoulder.
A second ghost lantern appeared there.
The underworld fire swayed and Xu Qing’s finger moved rapidly, landing on the other shoulder, dantian, and legs. Finally, the place he pointed at was his heart.
At the next moment, all seven ghost lanterns appeared.
As they burned, the figure of Prince Mingnan appeared in the flames.
The curse power erupted.
Prince Mingnan’s expression turned even uglier. He could sense that Xu Qing was difficult to deal with. This was something he hadn’t expected at the start.
The last thing he wanted to face was someone like him who could reverse death and cast bizarre spells.
What he was most worried about was that if the other party learned all his spells, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him.
This was also the reason why he didn’t want to continue earlier.
However, now that he was caught between a rock and a hard place, he had no choice but to fight. He gritted his teeth fiercely and saw the intention of this human in front of him. He wanted to bet with him on who could last the longest.
To be precise, it was who came back to life more times.
Or… whoever found the flaw in the other party’s revival art first!
Prince Mingnan threw caution to the wind. His eyes were bloodshot as he quickly performed a series of hand seals with both hands. The life gate behind him sent a large amount of vitality that fused into his body. At the same time, the compass under him spun rapidly.
It was the same for the six runes in the air. Xu Qing’s figures on the doors of death were also rapidly becoming blurry as they were bitten and devoured.
Xu Qing felt intense pain in his entire body and the feeling of life and death spread in his mind.
However, Xu Qing had been ruthless since he was young. He coldly looked at Prince Mingnan. As the seven lanterns on his body burned, one of them was extinguished.
Prince Mingnan spat out a mouthful of blood. He gritted his teeth and sped up.
Xu Qing’s entire body trembled as he extinguished the second, third, and fourth lanterns.
Prince Mingnan’s body trembled and his entire body decayed. However, the killing intent in his eyes intensified. Amidst the rumbling sounds, three of Xu Qing’s blurry figures on the six doors dissipated.
Xu Qing’s body cracked and began to break.
However, this rupture didn’t affect the extinguishing of the ghost lanterns. In the blink of an eye, the fifth, sixth, and seventh lanterns… were extinguished in unison.
The moment they were extinguished was also the moment his figures on the six doors disappeared.
Xu Qing’s body completely shattered into pieces. His body and soul were collapsing.
Prince Mingnan faced the same thing. Under the curse of the seven lanterns, even though the door of life behind him sent him life force, he still couldn’t withstand it. His body withered, his hair fell, and his life force was destroyed. His body directly melted and his body and soul were destroyed!
At the next instant, within D132, one could see the power of blessing erupting, as well as the image of a sundial forming and spinning.
Immediately after, Prince Mingnan’s body reformed.
Xu Qing’s shattered body and soul also rolled over and rapidly fused together, unscathed.
The two of them opened their eyes at the same time and looked at each other.
“Damn it!
Prince Mingnan raised his right hand and was about to press down on the copper coin that had landed on the ground.
However, at that moment, a shadow leaped from the side and enveloped the copper coin as his hand descended.
Amidst the rumbling, it seemed like a wail emanated from within. The shadow dissipated, and the copper coin it had enveloped vanished without a trace.
When it appeared, it was in Xu Qing’s hand!
However, the moment he touched it, he felt an intense burning sensation and his hand started melting. He couldn’t use this item for the time being.
Hence, Xu Qing waved his hand and threw it into the shadow on the ground.
That shadow was none other than Little Shadow.
It was originally in a deep sleep but Xu Qing had forcefully awakened it earlier. It took advantage of the opportunity when Prince Mingnan was reviving, to approach him and snatch the copper coin at the critical moment.
However, it had paid a huge price for this and was very dim now.
“That’s not something you can use!”
Prince Mingnan stared at Xu Qing. The moment he spoke, Xu Qing lifted his right hand and calmly spoke.
“I also have a taboo art for killing.”
As he spoke, he pointed at the sky with his right hand. Immediately, the sky above D132 changed color.
The Heavenly Dao Mosasaur roared and arrived, covering the sky and transforming into an incomparably huge heavenly blade!
As the divine curse, Poison Restriction, spread, it flowed along the edge of the heavenly blade and became its edge.
The morning glow shone brightly, becoming the blade light!
As soon as this blade appeared, D132 shook and rapidly changed its form. It became long and narrow, like a groove for the blade.
Prince Mingnan’s pupils contracted. He could sense the terrifying aura from this blade and the ancient feeling of time. Most importantly, he sensed traces of gods being killed on this blade.
All of this caused his expression to change drastically.
“This is…”
As Prince Mingnan inhaled, he felt a sense of danger spreading throughout his body. He immediately lifted his hands pointed at his forehead and heart, inhaling deeply.
In an instant, his entire body began to wither. It was even to the extent that his foundation seemed to have been shaken. Clearly… he had to pay a huge price to use this spell.
“Curse Art, Seven Arrows to the Nail!
Prince Mingnan spewed out seven mouthfuls of black blood in succession. With each expulsion, his body further decayed until he resembled nothing more than a skeleton.
The seven mouthfuls of black blood transformed into seven blood arrows, each carrying a deadly curse and exuding a terrifying aura as they gathered momentum towards Xu Qing.
In order to make sure the arrows had sufficient power, Prince Mingnan simply continued to spit out blood and augment the seven arrows.
Xu Qing ignored them and his cold voice echoed.
“The Golden Crow is the connection, and the Purple Moon is the seal!”
The Golden Crow danced and the Purple Moon formed runic marks. Under the control of the divine repository, they became one.
“Containing with time…”
“Controlling and commanding with the Sundial life lantern…”
Five sundials formed behind Xu Qing. The flames of the life lanterns shook the sky and the gnomons on them spun rapidly as the aura of time erupted.
At the next instant, they pointed towards quarter to noon!
“At noon on the Sundial, heaven and earth shall be slashed together!”
Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed as he looked at Prince Mingnan and slashed out!
The heavenly blade descended from the sky like a huge curtain or a mountain range, causing the sky to be shrouded and the ground to tremble.
At the same time, Prince Mingnan also let out a loud shout. The seven arrows in front of him that were continuously enhanced by him suddenly swelled up and became incomparably huge. They rapidly flew toward the falling heavenly blade.
At the next instant, the God Slaying Blade collided with the seven arrows.
The world rumbled and a storm stirred up in D132. Seven arrows erupted and they kept resisting, but it was useless. They could only barely resist for a while before they collapsed one by one!
The divine might was endless and the falling blade no longer had any obstruction. It seemed to have cut through the void and shattered the void, landing on the head of Prince Mingnan.
There was a loud explosion.
A huge ravine directly appeared on the ground, stirring up a storm of endless baleful aura that spread to both sides.
Immediately after, Xu Qing performed a series of hand seals with both hands. Di32’s power of misfortune erupted, affecting the formation of the other party’s blessing.
Forgetfulness enveloped him, causing him to forget the blessing.
Xu Qing himself attacked, destroying everything.
The Poison Restriction also descended, corroding everything. A Sundial also appeared, locking onto that area and sealing spacetime, stopping the other party’s blessing from recovering.
It was indeed effective.
This time, Prince Mingnan’s recovery wasn’t completed in an instant like before. It only barely formed after dozens of breaths.
Although his body appeared again, in the blink of an eye, the heavenly blade landed again.
With a boom, Prince Mingnan’s body and soul were destroyed again.
Xu Qing’s eyes were cold. His body was in mid-air as he performed a series of hand seals with both hands. All kinds of divine arts landed. A hundred breaths later, when the power of blessing appeared again and Prince Mingnan’s body was revealed, all the methods that were prepared in advance erupted in unison, drowning the figure of Prince Mingnan.
He was dead again.
“Let’s see how long your blessing will last.”
Xu Qing waved his hands and the divine might of the entire D132 spread out, augmenting the seal and forming an absolute death formation, causing Prince Mingnan to fall into a completely passive state.
There were also four fingers from the east, west, north, and south that rapidly formed. Four taboo weapons rushed through the air. The Diamond Sect’s ancestor hid himself, prepared to deliver another fatal blow at any time.
Just like that, two hours passed.
During this period, Prince Mingnan revived 13 times. Every time he appeared, he would be instantly killed by the methods Xu Qing had arranged. During this time, Prince Mingnan tried to use all kinds of ways to resist but he was too late.
Moreover, each time, his revival took longer than the last time.
This scene caused the hearts of everyone outside to stir endlessly.
They could sense how powerful this Prince Mingnan was and how difficult it was to kill him. Similarly… it was also because of this that they realized how terrifying and ruthless Xu Qing was.
This was especially so when they recalled the process and details of this battle.
It was as though… from the moment they fought, the rhythm was within Xu Qing’s control.
Regardless of whether it was the initial probing or the adjustments after knowing that the other party also had the revival technique, Xu Qing had always taken the initiative.
Every time he attacked, he had a motive.
The curse art was to search for the foundation and flaws of the enemy’s revival technique. The taboo blade was to create an opportunity.
Just as everyone outside was shocked, in D132, as the blessing aura formed again and Xu Qing’s methods erupted in unison, an anxious divine sense erupted from the blessing aura.
“Divine technique, Eye of the Sun Flame!!”
In this extreme passive state, Prince Mingnan had died more than ten times in a row. This time, he clearly sensed that he wasn’t far from true death, so he risked everything.
He was unleashing all of his blessings in one explosive burst.
As his voice echoed, the power of blessing rose unprecedentedly and directly soared, passing through D132 and surging into the sky outside.
The sky in the Third Inner Region instantly rippled.
In an instant, a huge crack opened in the sky, emitting a golden light.
It was a huge eye!
It wasn’t of the fragmented-face but… of the High God Sun Flame!
