Chapter 299: Saber Great Dao Finally Forms! Dual Great Daos Burst Forth, Ji Qing Directly Clashes With Calamity God King!
The Great Dao Treasure Tree of the Great Dao Immortal Sect is increasingly favored by Immortal Venerables.
Any Immortal Venerable who wishes to advance further will try every means to exchange for a chance to contemplate the Great Dao Treasure Tree, but these Immortal Venerables can generally only accumulate ten thousand battle merits, and it’s good if they can exchange for one year of contemplation time.
But now?
They heard the exclamation of Immortal Venerable Green Leaf.
Ten years?
If they were to exchange for ten years of contemplation time, it would require a hundred thousand battle merits!
Who could accumulate a hundred thousand battle merits?
It’s simply inconceivable!
However, upon seeing the Immortal Venerable who exchanged for ten years of contemplation time, the expressions of many Immortal Venerables seemed to relax amidst their astonishment, appearing as if it were only natural.
They saw that figure, Immortal Venerable Ji Qing!
Whether he is the number one Immortal Venerable in the Immortal Realm is unknown, but he is definitely the number one Immortal Venerable in the Ninth Heaven!
Being able to retreat calmly from a God King, and hearing news of the demise of those High Gods in the Ninth Heaven from time to time over the years, they were all attributed to Ji Qing’s assassinations.
If there’s any Immortal Venerable in the Ninth Heaven who can accumulate a hundred thousand battle merits now, it can only be Ji Qing.
“So it’s Immortal Venerable Ji, no wonder he could exchange for a full ten years. With Immortal Venerable Ji’s strength, a hundred thousand battle merits are perfectly achievable.”
“The only one who can still occasionally kill High Gods in the Ninth Heaven now is Immortal Venerable Ji.”
“Only Immortal Venerable Ji can afford a hundred thousand battle merits to exchange for a spot to contemplate the Great Dao Treasure Tree…”
Many Immortal Venerables marveled and envied.
But they also understood Ji Qing’s strength, that he could afford a hundred thousand battle merits.
Killing a High God is not easy.
It’s not easy even for several Immortal Venerables to join forces to hunt one down.
Only Ji Qing, who occasionally kills a High God, makes it seem as easy as slicing vegetables, which itself proves Ji Qing’s extraordinary strength.
“Immortal Venerable Ji, no problem, please proceed.”
Immortal Venerable Green Leaf took a deep breath.
He returned the token to Ji Qing.
Ji Qing smiled slightly and then stepped into the Great Formation.
Ji Qing saw the Great Dao Treasure Tree again.
However, this time, more than a dozen Immortal Venerables were sitting under the Great Dao Treasure Tree, contemplating the Great Dao.
Moreover, in Ji Qing’s perception, he felt that the sense of directly facing the Great Dao from the Great Dao Treasure Tree seemed to have “faded” considerably.
Ji Qing’s heart stirred.
He roughly guessed the reason.
Dao Rhyme!
The Dao Rhyme must have decreased.
The Great Dao Treasure Tree produces some Dao Rhyme every year.
The reason why Immortal Venerables contemplating the Great Dao under the Great Dao Treasure Tree can have a sense of directly facing the Great Dao is precisely because of the presence of a large amount of Dao Rhyme.
But the Dao Rhyme produced by the Great Dao Treasure Tree each year is very little.
The current Dao Rhyme is the accumulation of years and years, slowly built up by the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
Once the Dao Rhyme is depleted, the Great Dao Treasure Tree will no longer have that miraculous effect of directly facing the Great Dao.
Therefore, Ji Qing’s heart tightened.
The Dao Rhyme of the Great Dao Treasure Tree has already begun to decrease noticeably; he must seize the time to contemplate the Saber Great Dao.
Subsequently, Ji Qing began to contemplate.
Last time, Ji Qing only contemplated the Saber Great Dao for two months under the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
But even in those two months, Ji Qing’s comprehension of the Saber Great Dao deepened considerably.
But this time, as soon as Ji Qing began to contemplate the Saber Great Dao, he immediately perceived the difference.
Although there was still that feeling of directly facing the Great Dao, and Ji Qing’s Saber Great Dao was still improving, Ji Qing could clearly feel that the effect of this contemplation was not as good as the previous one.
Ultimately, it was still due to the Dao Rhyme.
The less Dao Rhyme the Great Dao Treasure Tree has, the worse the effect of contemplation under the Great Dao Treasure Tree will be.
As time goes by, the number of Immortal Venerables coming to contemplate under the Great Dao Treasure Tree will definitely increase.
Ji Qing’s desire to achieve the same effect as he did previously contemplating under the Great Dao Treasure Tree might already be impossible.
However, Ji Qing was completely immersed in the Saber Great Dao.
Since the effect wasn’t as good, he would compensate with time.
One year, two years, three years, four years, five years…
Under the Great Dao Treasure Tree, batches of Immortal Venerables changed.
But Ji Qing continued to contemplate.
His attainments in the Saber Great Dao steadily improved, all the way to the peak!
Around eight years later.
If it were the Space Great Dao, Ji Qing would have already mastered it.
But due to the reduction in Dao Rhyme, Ji Qing’s contemplation effect was also significantly weakened. Therefore, after contemplating for a full eight years, Ji Qing’s Saber Great Dao only reached the peak.
Or rather, the limit.
What remained was the grind.
This was also indispensable.
Even if he didn’t feel much improvement, Ji Qing had to contemplate under the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
That’s how the grind works.
Ji Qing already had experience when contemplating the Space Great Dao.
Therefore, even from the eighth year, extending to the ninth year, and even approaching the tenth year, Ji Qing’s Saber Great Dao showed no improvement, yet Ji Qing’s heart did not waver in the slightest.
He steadfastly continued to contemplate the Saber Great Dao.
Finally, at nine years and six months, Ji Qing suddenly had an inspiration strike.
His entire being seemed to transform into a saber.
“Hum.”
Within Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body, a sharp blade edge aura seemed to emanate instantaneously.
At this moment, Ji Qing gained a more direct and clear comprehension of the “Saber Great Dao.”
He even gently extended his hand.
He seemed to have condensed a saber out of thin air!
As if the void itself had transformed into a saber.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing’s eyes snapped open.
Even Ji Qing himself felt a bit surprised.
“The Saber Great Dao is finally mastered… but, why did the Saber Great Dao and the Space Great Dao fuse together so naturally? Using the void as a saber, this might…”
Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
The Space Great Dao!
The Saber Great Dao!
The two Great Daos could combine?
And after combining, this void seemed to have turned into a saber.
The might was unbelievably strong.
If Ji Qing were to activate the first stance of the Void Shaking Saber, Autumn Water Across the River, with this, to what terrifying extent would the might increase?
Ji Qing didn’t dare to claim he could deal with an Immortal King.
But if it were at the Immortal Venerable level, facing Ji Qing’s combination of the Space Great Dao and the Saber Great Dao, they would likely be annihilated instantly!
At this moment, the combination of the two Great Daos within Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body had once again ascended to a new height of might.
A height completely beyond that of an Immortal King!
Such a terrifying scene directly stimulated many Immortal Venerables under the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
They were originally immersed in contemplating the Great Dao.
But they were directly stimulated and awakened by the terrifying blade edge.
One by one, they looked around in confusion and even with lingering fear.
Finally, all their gazes fixed on Ji Qing.
“It’s Immortal Venerable Ji. It’s said his comprehension of the Space Great Dao is extremely high, but now he’s emitting such a terrifying, sharp aura. Is this… the Saber Great Dao?”
“Immortal Venerable Ji has been contemplating under the Great Dao Treasure Tree for over nine years, nearly ten years. So he was contemplating the Saber Great Dao? This is truly… unbelievable. Does Immortal Venerable Ji possess two Great Daos?”
“You are not Immortal Venerables of the First Heaven, so you naturally don’t understand the terror of Immortal Venerable Ji. Back then, when Immortal Venerable Ji attained the Immortal Venerable realm by drawing upon the Great Dao, he drew upon three Great Daos under the watchful eyes of all. Therefore, Immortal Venerable Ji possesses three Great Daos! This news came from within the Xu Mi Immortal Sect and is absolutely correct.”
“Possessing three Great Daos… Before it was the Space Great Dao, and now it’s the Saber Great Dao… He has mastered two of the three Great Daos. It’s likely that once these two Great Daos are comprehended to their limit, they will be one step away from mastery…”
Some of the Immortal Venerables were from the First Heaven.
Mostly Immortal Venerables from Jiǔ Fāng Xiānzōng and Kunlun Immortal Sect.
They knew some of Ji Qing’s circumstances.
These circumstances would not be known to anyone unless one specifically went to the First Heaven to inquire.
However, even the boldest person would think that Ji Qing had at most two Great Daos reaching their limit.
There was still a considerable distance from the initial mastery of two Great Daos.
Ji Qing naturally wouldn’t explain.
He immediately checked the status of the Saber Great Dao.
“Saber Great Dao: Initial Mastery.”
This was the current state of the Saber Great Dao.
Like the Space Great Dao, both had been initially mastered by Ji Qing.
Of the three Great Daos within Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body, he had now mastered two, with only the last one, the “Five Elements Great Dao,” remaining.
The Five Elements Great Dao consists of the five Great Daos: “Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.”
Separately, they are five Great Daos.
But what Ji Qing intended to contemplate was not a single separate Great Dao, but the Great Dao of the Five Elements merging into one.
This Great Dao’s complexity even surpassed that of the Space Great Dao.
Mastering it would not be easy.
Especially with the decreasing Dao Rhyme of the Great Dao Treasure Tree, Ji Qing must seize the time to earn a large amount of battle merits before contemplating under the Great Dao Treasure Tree again.
Otherwise, without the Great Dao Treasure Tree, it couldn’t be said to be completely impossible for Ji Qing to contemplate the Five Elements Great Dao, but it might take an extremely long time.
With only six months left, Ji Qing naturally wouldn’t waste it.
He immediately began to contemplate the Five Elements Great Dao.
Soon, six months passed, and the ten years were also up.
This time, Immortal Venerable Green Leaf personally came into the Great Formation to awaken Ji Qing.
After all, last time he couldn’t use the Great Formation to teleport Ji Qing out, so he had to wake him up himself.
“Immortal Venerable Ji, time is up!”
Immortal Venerable Green Leaf’s voice sounded.
Ji Qing slowly opened his eyes.
“Ten years are up?”
He calculated carefully; indeed, ten years had passed.
Contemplating the Five Elements Great Dao for half a year didn’t result in much improvement, actually.
However, this time the initial mastery of the Saber Great Dao had greatly increased Ji Qing’s strength, and Ji Qing was quite satisfied.
This hundred thousand battle merits were not wasted at all.
“Immortal Venerable Ji, ten years must have brought considerable harvest. I wonder how far away you are from becoming an Immortal King?”
Immortal Venerable Green Leaf’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he asked tentatively.
Ji Qing had come to contemplate the Great Dao Treasure Tree time and again.
He had almost poured all his battle merits into spots for the Great Dao Treasure Tree. Immortal Venerable Green Leaf knew that Ji Qing had likely, without realizing it, reached the threshold of becoming an Immortal King.
If there was any Immortal Venerable in the Immortal Realm with the greatest hope of becoming an Immortal King now, Immortal Venerable Green Leaf’s most favored Immortal Venerable would be Ji Qing.
However, facing Immortal Venerable Green Leaf’s question, Ji Qing merely smiled faintly and said, “Still very far… Since time is up, I must leave. Immortal Venerable Green Leaf, farewell.”
After speaking, Ji Qing stepped out of the Great Formation, his figure vanishing without a trace.
…
At the passage to the Gods Universe, the three God Kings stood outside the passage.
“Whoosh.”
A figure entered the Ninth Heaven first.
It was none other than the God of Ruin!
Last time, the God of Ruin had shattered space, but still couldn’t stop Ji Qing from traversing the void. Therefore, the God of Ruin had left the Immortal Realm and returned to the Gods Universe.
This time, the God of Ruin had returned.
However, this time his return was not simple.
Because, he brought a great being.
A Deity that greatly delighted the three God Kings!
Following the appearance of the God of Ruin, then came a second High God, a third, a fourth, a fifth…
Up to the ninth High God!
Each of these High Gods had established a Divine System.
Now these nine High Gods stood respectfully in the Ninth Heaven.
“Welcome, God of Ruin!”
The nine High Gods shouted in unison.
“Buzz.”
A figure stepped out from the passage to the Gods Universe.
Wherever he passed, the void twisted and collapsed.
There were other Deities around.
But whether they were Low Gods, Middle Gods, or High Gods, they all felt a heavy pressure.
This was a terrifying pressure they had never felt when facing the other three God Kings.
This was the God of Ruin!
An extremely terrifying and special God King among God Kings.
Even in the Main God Universe, the God of Ruin was a renowned and terrifying God King!
“God of Ruin, you’ve finally arrived.”
The Radiant God King spoke first.
This time, the three great God Kings had paid a huge price together to finally invite the God of Ruin.
“Radiant God King, War God King, Judgment God King, I heard you three God Kings were driven to a frenzy by a so-called Immortal Venerable comparable to a ‘High God’? You’re even willing to pay such a price to ask me to act. Why don’t you let me handle the invasion of the Immortal Realm? My Calamity Divine System will never be stopped by a mere Immortal Venerable.”
The God of Ruin spoke with an unpleasant tone as soon as he appeared.
Although he was invited by the three God Kings, the God of Ruin did not give them any face.
They belonged to different “Divine Systems.”
There were even frictions within the Gods Universe.
It was strange if he had a good attitude.
The Radiant God King’s expression was grim. He said coldly, “God of Ruin, the invasion of the Immortal Realm was a decision made by the Main Gods. If you disagree, you can apply to the Main Gods!”
The God of Ruin’s eyes turned cold.
Main Gods?
Of course, he knew this was a decision made by the Main Gods.
No matter how strong he was, he was just a God King.
Apply to the Main Gods?
He would probably be rejected.
Moreover, his Main God was different from the Radiant God King’s Main God.
He could not betray his Main God.
In the Gods Universe, any Deity who dared to betray their Main God, even a God King, had only one outcome: complete annihilation.
“Hmph, enough nonsense. After I deal with this Immortal Venerable, ‘Ji Qing,’ I’ll leave immediately. I still need to prepare for the conquest of the Deep Blue Universe.”
The God of Ruin said coldly.
The three God Kings exchanged glances.
“God of Ruin, this Immortal Venerable ‘Ji Qing’ is not simple at all. His attainments in the Space Great Dao are extremely profound. The God of Ruin should know this best, and you should also know a thing or two. We want to know, how confident are you in dealing with Ji Qing?”
The Radiant God King asked.
“How confident?”
The God of Ruin said indifferently, “Naturally, 100% confident! A mere Immortal Venerable, no matter how strong, is only at the ‘High God’ level, at most touching the essence of the Void. Although it’s a bit troublesome, once my Divine Kingdom is deployed, he won’t be able to traverse space anymore!”
“A mere Immortal Venerable, if he can’t traverse space, what threat can he pose? Crushing him is as easy as crushing an ant…”
The God of Ruin’s tone was arrogant.
However, the God of Ruin had the right to be arrogant.
The God of Ruin’s Divine Kingdom was very special; in terms of destructive power, it ranked first among the God Kings in the Gods Universe!
Moreover, although the God of Ruin’s Divine Kingdom was also space, space was not all the same.
The God of Ruin’s Divine Kingdom was filled with various destructive calamities. No matter where Ji Qing traversed within the God of Ruin’s Divine Kingdom, he would suffer terrifying calamities.
An Immortal Venerable would absolutely not be able to withstand it.
As for traversing the Divine Kingdom to escape?
That was impossible.
The God of Ruin could directly annihilate the space outside his Divine Kingdom, an annihilation that touched the essence of space.
Even Space Nodes and the like were all annihilated.
It was equivalent to completely isolating space.
Even if Ji Qing touched the essence of space, he would not be able to escape.
This was the God of Ruin’s confidence!
“Good! Then Ji Qing will be left to you…”
The three God Kings immediately made a decision.
…
Ji Qing had just returned to his Cave Dwelling in the Yun Guang Secret Realm not long ago when he received a Communication Talisman from the Creation God King, asking him to go to the Immortal King Palace.
Soon, Ji Qing met the Creation Immortal King and the other two Immortal Kings.
These three Immortal Kings had solemn expressions.
The Creation Immortal King said solemnly, “Immortal Venerable Ji, we want to ask you a question, and we hope you will answer truthfully.”
“Please ask, Immortal King.”
“We just want to know, Immortal Venerable Ji, you recently found out that you triggered the power of three Great Daos, meaning you possess three Great Daos. We want to know, have you now initially mastered the Space Great Dao?”
As the Creation God King finished speaking, the gazes of the three Immortal Kings fell on Ji Qing.
This was indeed a very important matter.
Previously, the three Immortal Kings’ attention to Ji Qing was only superficial.
But after they truly delved deeper, they discovered that Ji Qing actually possessed three Great Daos?
It was simply unbelievable.
And judging by Ji Qing’s performance in dealing with God Kings regarding his comprehension of space, they had a bold guess.
Had Ji Qing initially mastered the Space Great Dao?
But because there were three Great Daos within his Great Dao Body, his Great Dao Body could not undergo Transformation and temporarily could not achieve the Immortal King realm?
Some events had occurred that made the three Immortal Kings urgently need to confirm Ji Qing’s current attainments in space, hence this question.
Ji Qing looked at the three Immortal Kings.
He was still hesitant.
But since the three Immortal Kings had asked, they must have noticed something.
Moreover, the fact that Ji Qing possessed three Great Daos was widely known at the Xu Mi Immortal Sect back then, so it was impossible to hide.
Therefore, Ji Qing immediately nodded and said, “Yes, I was comprehending under the Great Dao Treasure Tree before, and I have indeed initially mastered the Space Great Dao.”
“Boom.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of the three Immortal Kings trembled.
It was true!
Ji Qing had actually initially mastered the Space Great Dao?
This was simply too incredible.
But this was the fact!
Previously, there were only some guesses, especially after learning that Ji Qing possessed three Great Daos, these guesses became even more prevalent.
But now, Ji Qing’s personal admission still had a great impact on the three Immortal Kings.
Initially mastering the Space Great Dao.
That could be considered the number one person in the Immortal Realm!
At least at the Immortal Venerable level, he was definitely the number one!
Now, many of the three Immortal Kings’ doubts were resolved.
No wonder Ji Qing could leave calmly in front of a God King.
No wonder even a God King’s Divine Kingdom could not do anything to Ji Qing.
With initial mastery of the Space Great Dao, purely in terms of Great Dao attainments, Ji Qing was already at the Immortal King realm!
There was no doubt about this!
With the Great Dao attainments of an Immortal King, leaving calmly in front of a God King was truly not surprising at all.
After a long while, the three Immortal Kings slowly calmed their minds.
“Good!”
“Immortal Venerable Ji, we have a Task for you.”
“We detected strong fluctuations from the passage to the Gods Universe. Those fluctuations were not from any High God; they were much stronger than those of High Gods. We suspect it’s a God King!”
“If the Gods Universe is deploying troops and God Kings are entering the Ninth Heaven one after another, then our Heavenly Court must make arrangements early, otherwise, we will be caught off guard, and the trouble will be great! In terms of spatial attainments, at the Immortal King level, you are already considered the best. It is most suitable for you to investigate whether new God Kings have arrived in the Ninth Heaven.”
“For this Task, as long as you investigate clearly, we will reward you with ten thousand Battle Merit!”
The Creation God King informed Ji Qing of the detailed reason for summoning him.
Indeed, there was something that needed Ji Qing to do.
And it was a Task.
It was just a difficult Task, investigating a God King.
Even for an Immortal King, investigating a God King was extremely difficult.
God Kings had Divine Kingdoms; once trapped within a Divine Kingdom, it would be dangerous.
But Ji Qing was different.
Ji Qing’s spatial attainments were extremely high.
Coupled with the fact that the three Immortal Kings had inquired and Ji Qing had initially mastered the Space Great Dao, he had even less to fear.
No matter how many God Kings there were, they couldn’t trap Ji Qing.
“Okay, I will definitely complete this Task!”
Ji Qing accepted the Task.
After all, ten thousand Battle Merit was a considerable amount, and such a Task was quite rare.
Of course, why wasn’t such a Task made public?
The reason was simple.
Only Ji Qing could complete this Task.
Without mastering the Space Great Dao, investigating the true strength of a God King would result in death for anyone who went.
There would be no luck at all.
Thus, Ji Qing bid farewell and left the Immortal King Palace.
Ji Qing did not rush. He stayed in the Yun Guang Secret Realm for a period of time first, observing the situation of those Deities.
The result of his observation was that everything was normal.
Everything in the Gods Universe seemed unchanged.
It was as calm as ever.
Ji Qing did not detect any changes.
However, if the Gods Universe had indeed sent new God Kings to the Ninth Heaven, and yet it remained so calm, then that would be abnormal.
Ji Qing decided it was time to investigate.
Thus, Ji Qing left the Yun Guang Secret Realm silently.
Ji Qing knew that the three God Kings had enveloped many areas with their Divine Kingdoms. If Ji Qing appeared, he would definitely be discovered.
This time, Ji Qing was only tasked with investigation and observation.
Therefore, Ji Qing did not intend to alert the three God Kings.
He moved away from the areas covered by the three God Kings’ Divine Kingdoms and observed the situation of the three God Kings from a distance.
Ji Qing was also very cautious.
He did not think he could do whatever he wanted just because he had the Space Great Dao.
On the contrary, Ji Qing would be even more reverent.
Time passed slowly.
One month, two months, three months…
Ji Qing observed for a full three months.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Ji Qing noticed a subtle change.
The coverage of the three God Kings’ Divine Kingdoms was no longer as wide.
They had even shrunk somewhat.
Although the shrinkage was not significant, if one did not pay close attention, they might not notice these changes.
Ji Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He saw a team of Deities emerge from the previously confined Secret Realm.
They were slowly beginning to expand into the surrounding Secret Realms.
This was not normal.
Because this was a team of Deities.
Every Deity in the team was a High God.
They had probably all formed Divine Systems.
They were in teams of about nine.
Who could contend against such a team, other than an Immortal King?
“Are these Deities no longer afraid of me? Or do they think they can resist me a little even if they face me, and then a God King will come to deal with me?”
Ji Qing’s mind raced through countless possibilities.
There is a high probability of this.
Of course, there is another possibility.
They are “luring” me into making a move.
With a squad of High Gods, including several from the kill list.
This “bait” certainly came at a great cost.
Ji Qing became even more cautious.
He didn’t act immediately, but observed what this squad of High Gods intended to do.
One month, two months, three months…
Another three months passed.
Ji Qing discovered that this squad of High Gods was indeed conquering some Secret Realms.
Wherever they went, they were largely unstoppable.
Moreover, the Divine Kingdoms of the three God Kings were quite interesting.
Wherever that squad of High Gods went, those three God Kings’ Divine Kingdoms would expand slightly, clearly also protecting that squad of deities, and if anything happened, the three God Kings could arrive at the fastest speed.
Ji Qing smiled.
This was indeed the “bait” of the three God Kings.
However, so what if it was bait?
Even if a fourth God King or a fifth God King truly appeared.
With his mastery of Space, he would certainly be able to escape.
His mastery of Space had already reached the “Immortal King level”.
“There are five High Gods in that squad who are on the kill list, a total of five thousand Battle Merit…”
Ji Qing murmured softly.
Opportunities like this were rare.
Five thousand Battle Merit was enough for him to take a slight risk.
But Ji Qing remained very patient.
He patiently waited for that squad of High Gods to move a bit further away from the Divine Kingdoms of the three God Kings.
Ji Qing knew, the time had come!
“Swish.”
Ji Qing’s figure instantly vanished.
……
Among the nine High Gods, only the God of Ruin knew the specific plan.
The other eight High Gods were merely following orders.
They did not know they were the “bait”.
However, after several months and Ji Qing still hadn’t shown himself, the God of Ruin felt a faint sense of doubt.
Why hasn’t Ji Qing appeared yet?
Could it be that they were too obvious and Ji Qing had noticed?
There was such a possibility.
But the three God Kings had analyzed that with Ji Qing’s mastery of Space, even if the three God Kings joined forces and their Divine Kingdoms swept through, Ji Qing could still escape with ease.
Ji Qing would not fear them at all.
But why hasn’t Ji Qing appeared yet?
In fact, this plan was not meticulous at all.
It was even quite simple.
There were no complex schemes or tricks involved.
The plan was simple; the real “bait” was actually the God of Ruin.
Because he belonged to the Calamity God King’s Divine System.
Once Ji Qing appeared, the Calamity God King could use the God of Ruin as a target and teleport directly to his location.
The prerequisite was that the God of Ruin could not be “instantly killed”.
He had to at least hold on for “one breath” of time.
And the Calamity God King had made certain arrangements on the God of Ruin to ensure that the God of Ruin could hold on for “one breath” of time.
All the arrangements were made up to the point where the Calamity God King arrived.
Once the Calamity God King arrived, Ji Qing would have no escape.
This was the plan.
Not meticulous, even full of flaws.
And quite simple.
However, the more flawed it was, the simpler it seemed, and the more lethal it was!
“Clang.”
Suddenly, the sound of a sword being drawn echoed.
Immediately after, a familiar figure appeared.
However, the appearance of this figure was accompanied by a radiant blade light.
“Finally took the bait…”
The God of Ruin’s heart trembled, but was then filled with joy.
As for the other High Gods possibly dying…
They were just bait.
Dead is dead.
As long as he could hold on for “one breath” of time.
In reality, Ji Qing was already fast enough.
Not dragging his feet at all.
As soon as he appeared, he unleashed “Autumn Water Across the River”.
Blade light filled the air.
However, this time, Ji Qing’s blade light was different from before.
This time, Ji Qing’s blade light was amplified by the “Saber Great Dao”.
Ji Qing had utilized the Saber Great Dao!
The might of his Saber Technique had also climbed to a new height.
Therefore, even though “Autumn Water Across the River” was a group attack Saber Technique, its might was extremely terrifying.
With one strike, those High Gods didn’t even have time to scream.
Under the blade light, all were annihilated!
Of the nine High Gods, only one remained.
The remaining one was, naturally, the God of Ruin.
And the God of Ruin indeed did not die.
Instead, a special power erupted from him.
This was a power at the God King level.
But it was different from the powers of the three God Kings.
Ji Qing was very familiar with the powers of the three God Kings.
The Radiant God King, the Judgment God King, and the War God King.
However, this new power was certainly that of a God King, but it was not any of the three God Kings.
Could it be that a fourth God King had truly entered the Ninth Heaven?
The God of Ruin was not on the kill list.
Ji Qing’s strike had actually achieved its objective.
He had already earned five thousand Battle Merit.
Therefore, he immediately prepared to leave.
However, the new power that erupted from the God of Ruin was extremely terrifying.
It erupted all at once.
The surrounding Void shattered with a roar.
But unlike the previous void shattering.
This time, even the Space Nodes were shattered.
The Void even began to collapse.
Even the power of the Space Great Dao receded.
“What?”
Ji Qing was also shocked.
What kind of power was this?
It could cause Space to collapse?
And even cause the power of the Space Great Dao to temporarily recede?
Although it was only temporary, it was enough.
At least Ji Qing could not traverse Space to leave immediately.
Ji Qing understood immediately.
That squad of High Gods was indeed bait.
Their main purpose was to “lure” him into appearing.
Otherwise, there would not be such meticulous arrangements.
And such targeted arrangements.
It was designed to prevent him from leaving!
However, this much power could only be maintained for a very short period.
At most, “one breath” of time.
When the power of the Space Great Dao recovered, Ji Qing would be able to traverse again.
However, for the God of Ruin, one breath was enough for the Calamity God King to arrive.
“Rumble.”
The next moment, a brand new Divine Kingdom descended.
It instantly enveloped Ji Qing.
The moment Ji Qing was enveloped by the Divine Kingdom, he immediately began traversing within it.
Because, no matter what, it could not change the fact that a Divine Kingdom was inherently a Space.
Ji Qing could traverse freely within the Divine Kingdom.
However, no matter how Ji Qing traversed within the Divine Kingdom, as soon as he reappeared, he would be instantly enveloped by all sorts of terrifying calamities.
These terrifying calamities could not annihilate Ji Qing instantly, but they would continuously annihilate Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body.
Ji Qing tried to leave again.
But he could not.
This Divine Kingdom was extremely special.
The Divine Kingdom was a Space.
But Ji Qing could only traverse within the Divine Kingdom.
If he tried to leave, even with his mastery of the Space Great Dao, it would take some time to leave.
But during this time, the unfamiliar God King who was the lord of the Divine Kingdom could concentrate the Divine Kingdom’s power and annihilate Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body.
“No wonder they sent High Gods out as bait… A God King who counters me has indeed arrived…”
Understood.
Ji Qing understood everything.
This God King indeed countered him perfectly.
But Ji Qing was very calm at this moment.
Relying on the Space Great Dao, he could not escape the Divine Kingdom.
However, there was still one method.
This method was a conventional means for an Immortal King.
That was… to split open the Divine Kingdom!
To split open the Divine Kingdom with absolute Power.
Then he would naturally be able to leave the Divine Kingdom.
And the external Space would have recovered.
Once the Divine Kingdom was split open, Ji Qing could instantly traverse Space and leave.
But to split open a Divine Kingdom, there was a most basic condition.
That was, Ji Qing’s Power had to reach the “God King” or “Immortal King” level.
Only then could a God King’s Divine Kingdom be split open.
For an Immortal King, this was a conventional method, not worth mentioning.
But for an Immortal Venerable, it was a height that could never be reached!
“May I ask, which God King has made their move?”
Ji Qing spoke.
He had come to gather intelligence.
Before making a move, Ji Qing also wanted to know who this new God King was.
After all, Ji Qing didn’t want to miss out on those ten thousand Battle Merit.
“I am the Calamity God King! Ji Qing, the three Great God Kings couldn’t deal with you, but before me, your little tricks are not worth mentioning!”
A strange voice came from within the Divine Kingdom.
“Calamity God King?”
Ji Qing suddenly understood.
The other party should be the fourth God King who had just arrived in the Ninth Heaven.
And it was most likely that the three Great God Kings had specifically invited him from the Gods Universe to deal with Ji Qing.
Since he had already obtained the intelligence on the fourth God King, Ji Qing no longer lingered.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing once again unleashed the Shocking Void Saber Technique.
However, this time Ji Qing mobilized the Space Great Dao and the Saber Great Dao within his Great Dao Body.
The combination of the two Great Daos caused the Might of this saber strike from Ji Qing to climb to an extremely terrifying level.
Instantly, the Calamity God King’s Divine Kingdom was almost filled with terrifying Blade Light.
Every blade of light was earth-shattering, and its Might had climbed to the point where it could slice open the Calamity God King’s Divine Kingdom.
“Pfft.”
Finally, the first crack appeared.
Then came the second, third, fourth… and even countless more!
Seeing this, the Calamity God King’s eyes widened.
The confident smile on his face instantly froze.
He simply couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
His Divine Kingdom had actually been sliced open?
And it became riddled with holes in almost an instant.
This indicated that every saber strike from Ji Qing could slice open his Divine Kingdom.
What did this mean?
This meant that each saber strike from Ji Qing could rival an Immortal King!
“How is this possible…”
The Calamity God King still found it unbelievable.
However, at this point, Ji Qing was no longer in a hurry to leave.
A trace of sharp light flashed in his eyes.
He stared intently at the Calamity God King.
His blade light could already break through the Calamity God King’s Divine Kingdom?
And it was still the least powerful Saber Technique, “Autumn Water Across the River.”
What about more powerful Saber Techniques?
The Calamity God King was a new God King.
Obtaining intelligence on him was only worth ten thousand Battle Merit.
But what about killing a God King?
Ji Qing remembered very clearly, High Gods were worth a thousand Battle Merit.
And God Kings, that was one hundred thousand Battle Merit!
No matter which God King it was.
Whether or not they were on the hunting list.
As long as one killed a God King, it was one hundred thousand Battle Merit!
Originally, Ji Qing intended to break through the Divine Kingdom and escape.
But seeing how easily the Calamity God King’s Divine Kingdom was sliced by his blade light and became riddled with holes.
An extremely “dangerous” thought immediately arose in Ji Qing’s heart.
Even an “extreme” thought.
Kill the Calamity God King!
If successful, he would get rich from this single battle!
Then, with one hundred thousand Battle Merit in hand, he would have the qualifications to Contemplate the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
The third Five Elements Great Dao should also be mastered.
At that time, Ji Qing would have no obstacles to becoming an Immortal King.
Thinking of this, the idea grew wildly in Ji Qing’s heart like wild grass, impossible to shake off!
This was too insane.
An Immortal Venerable killing a God King?
Perhaps no one would be so bold.
They wouldn’t even dare to think about it.
But Ji Qing had always been bold, and he had now initially mastered two Great Daos, theoretically, his Space Great Dao and Saber Great Dao were both Immortal King Level powers.
Then why couldn’t he kill the Calamity God King?
The only difference between him and an Immortal King was the Immortal King Body.
But two Great Daos at the Immortal King level were enough to make up for the gap in the Immortal King Body.
The fact that Ji Qing’s blade light could easily tear through the Calamity God King’s Divine Kingdom was proof!
At this moment, the Calamity God King, who had finally reacted, was utterly enraged.
When had he ever suffered such a defeat?
To have his Divine Kingdom torn apart by a mere Immortal Venerable?
However, before the Calamity God King could vent his anger, Ji Qing moved first.
The saber in his hand seemed to condense into a single point.
Then, it erupted with a roar!
The third move of the Shocking Void Saber, Ten Thousand Transformations Return to Ruin!
Ji Qing did not hesitate and immediately unleashed the strongest move of the Shocking Void Saber.
A Saber Technique that could amplify its Might by 100%.
Ji Qing had almost never used this move before.
After all, although this move had great Might, it also had a drawback.
It could instantly drain all the Power of the Great Dao within the Great Dao Body.
The Might could indeed surge.
But similarly, it could also cause a void of Power within the Great Dao Body.
However, Ji Qing was very special.
He had three Great Daos.
And he had mastered two Great Daos.
Therefore, when he unleashed this move, it drained the Power of the “Saber Great Dao” within his body.
He still had the Power of the Space Great Dao within his Great Dao Body.
Thus, even if this saber strike didn’t completely kill the Calamity God King.
Ji Qing could still escape by traversing space with his comprehension of the Space Great Dao.
Therefore, for Ji Qing, this move was not a desperate gamble.
Besides his Chaos Demon God Body, this move was also Ji Qing’s strongest trump card!
The Blade Light condensed into a single point.
Then, it exploded instantly.
Immediately, the Calamity God King’s pupils constricted violently.
At this moment, the anger in his heart seemed to turn into terror.
He seemed unable to block this saber strike!
If he truly couldn’t block it, then… he would die!
