Chapter 377: This Is My Final Surge, Flesh Becomes a Sage!
“With selflessness, I return to the soil, returning home!”
The Holy King’s Strong Warrior made a final desperate attempt, and immediately afterward, a mysterious energy erupted from his body, distorting space and time.
With a deafening boom, it was as if a massive boulder had been thrown into the river of time, creating subtle ripples, as if opening a hidden portal.
“I’m leaving!”
“Thud!”
The Holy King’s Strong Warrior collapsed helplessly to the ground. Zhou Tong could not help but let out a light sigh as he stepped forward to support him.
“Why do you torment yourself like this?”
“Hahaha… Don’t you regret less after trying?”
The Holy King laughed freely and spoke.
“Throughout my life, I have been failing and chasing. Why should I not gamble everything at the end?”
He nodded slightly at Zhou Tong, his figure becoming blurred as if merging into the tiny ripples, searching for the way home.
At the same time, he raised a ball of black energy in one hand, gently pressing it onto Zhou Tong.
“Take it; this is my final surge!”
As the words faded, the Holy King completely dissipated, submerging into the sweeping tides of time, making it impossible to trace his remaining presence.
“Mirror…”
Zhou Tong muttered.
“Don’t speak; I’m trying.”
The Four Annihilators of the 麟’s voice became extraordinarily solemn in a rare moment. The next thing, a beam of light shot from Zhou Tong’s chest, shining through the river of time, illuminating certain dark paths.
“Who would’ve thought you’d also become sentimental?”
Zhou Tong laughed and joked.
“You can’t define me. I’m just playing around. Why let go of a perfect toy when I have it?”
The Mirror’s mouth unconsciously hardened, “By the way, that dead ghost seemed to have left a message.”
Upon finishing his sentence, six words appeared on the surface of the mirror.
“If there’s fate, we’ll meet again in the future!”
Seeing this, Zhou Tong’s lips curled slightly upward.
“Idiot, I don’t even know your name yet.”
As his words faded, a dark hue enveloped his body.
This wasn’t demonic energy, nor any evil aura; it was the Holy King passing on all his remaining energy to him.
Without a doubt, it was an immense force, an invaluable fortune.
If Zhou Tong were to absorb it all to boost his cultivation, it wouldn’t be a dream to instantly become a Sage. But it wasn’t the path he desired.
Thus, he refined all that power, enduring the torment, and fused it into his flesh and blood.
In an instant, the Omniverse Illusion Seal saw an explosive increase!
Zhou Tong remained seated in the void as if asleep, yet utterly focused on absorbing the Holy King’s power, undistracted, diving into another layer of enlightenment.
At this moment, the miniature world within him exploded at an incredible speed, surpassing any previous occasion.
Six hundred thousand miniature worlds!
Seven hundred thousand… eight hundred thousand… nine hundred thousand…
One million mark, instantly broken through!
Flesh becomes a Sage, the condition of the Earth’s Veins bet has been fulfilled!
And it wasn’t over yet; his miniature worlds continued to open, preventing Zhou Tong from diverting his attention.
…
In the outside world…
The creak of a sound resounded as someone opened the door to the secret chamber, and a graceful figure stepped inside.
Upon a single glance, Profound Song raised an alluring corner of her lips.
“Indeed… everything in the prophecy’s vision has become a reality.”
The calamity star, Li Xiang, lay collapsed on the floor, nearly out of breath, while the fortune star had been refined into a pill, ready for consumption.
The Profound Sky Hall had plotted for so many years, and victory was finally achieved.
Now, it was her time to pick the fruits.
“Save me… save me quickly!”
Li Xiang’s eyes bulged out as he lay like a pitiable insect, trembling and extending a hand for help.
“What are you worth? Why should I save you? Letting you dirty my hands with your filth once more?”
Her chilling words made Li Xiang’s eyes widen.
“Aren’t you my fiancée? Haven’t you always admired me? Once I become an unparalleled strong person, I will certainly make you my legitimate wife!”
Li Xiang spoke arrogantly, still not fully grasping the situation.
“Ho ho ho…”
Profound Song couldn’t help but laugh at his outrageous arrogance, a one-of-a-kind across heaven and earth, ancient and modern times.
“What do I need you, the calamity star, for? Do you want to bring bad luck to me!”
With these words, Li Xiang’s entire body shook.
“Calamity star? Are you talking about me? How could I be a calamity? I am clearly someone blessed with good fortune!”
“Fool, stop deluding yourself. Since you’re going to die anyway, I’ll let you die understanding.”
Profound Song filled her eyes with disdain and a strong murderous intent.
“Sixteen years ago, a fortune star and calamity star were born in the Li Family. This information was quickly obtained by the Profound Sky Hall, who began scheming.”
“Through collaborations with multiple gray forces, using their intelligence networks and some special fortune-telling techniques, Profound Sky Hall found out the identities of the fortune and calamity star beforehand.”
“The fortune star endured various hardships and was swapped out from the Li Family. This person is Zhou Tong.”
“As for you, being the calamity star, right when your identity was about to be revealed and you were about to be executed, Profound Sky Hall’s warrior forcibly seized you for future use.”
“In the following years, your body was modified by the Profound Sky Hall, your memory was sealed, and you were then sent back to the Li Family.”
“This was done so that through your calamity star constitution, we could drain the Li Family’s qi and we would harvest it.”
Upon hearing this secret, Li Xiang was struck like by lightning, momentarily stunned and speechless.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiang, with drool streaming down, managed to mutter his confusion.
“Even if that’s true, how does that concern you? Aren’t you the contender for the Virgin Saint in the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground? Unless you’ve already betrayed the Sacred Ground!”
“Hahaha… You’re so stupid and pitiful, open your eyes wide and see who I am!”
Profound Song gently swiped her jade hand across her face, revealing a face more beautiful, noble, and icy.
“Clear enough? Let me introduce myself again. I am Xuan Song, Young Master of the Profound Sky Hall. The Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground is one of our targets as well. Your fiancée was replaced by me a long time ago!”
She gazed haughtily at Li Xiang, as if looking down upon a pile of dirty trash.
“So beautiful!”
In an instant, Li Xiang lost his mind. His fiancée was already breathtakingly beautiful, but this person was even more entrancing, making him forget the fear of death.
“Who permits you to look at me with your dirty eyes!”
Immediately, two streaks of energy shot through the air, blinding Li Xiang.
“Aaaaah… My eyes, despicable! I’ve become like this and you still treat me like this!”
“Shut up even in your dying moments. Do you know why I feel nauseated just by looking at you but still want to let you die understanding?”
Profound Song stepped forward on her long, graceful legs, her palm glowing with a formation—the very small refining formation.
She said, “Because top-notch materials require top-notch handling methods to maximize their usage. Only by answering your doubts can I extract your fortune more effectively!”
Without hesitation, she slapped the formation onto Li Xiang’s body!
“Aaaaah…”
Li Xiang writhed in agony. In just a short time, his entire body turned to dust, leaving only brilliant starlight within the formation.
This light was the world’s priceless treasure, a concrete manifestation of fortune force and one of the keys to opening the Golden Great Era.
“Today is truly a memorable day…”
Profound Song’s face showed satisfaction. “Next is the most critical step.”
With a flick of her hand, the floating elixir was grasped into her palm.
“Merge!”
The formation activated, and beams of starlight wrapped entirely around the elixir.
It didn’t take too long, just the time of burning incense for them to perfectly fuse as one.
“Such a beautiful Holy Pill!”
She was spellbound, staring at the Holy Pill in her palm as if it contained galaxies, unable to resist its beauty.
Even though she had seen countless treasures, such a beautiful item still captured her heart!
“All conditions have been met; it’s my time to consume the Holy Pill!”
