Chapter 642: Using Divine Blood as a Mirror, Ancient Calamity as Evidence

The so-called power of aspiration is the power of wishes, the power of yearning, and, most profoundly, the power of emotion.

It is the struggle for survival, one of life's primal instincts.

Normally, this power manifests when emotions run high or during fervent devotion, but in the former case, it is mixed and impure, while in the latter, it is scarce.

But at this moment, after the two scenes, the ancient memories, and the slaying of the Scarlet Mother, the emotions of all beings experienced an unprecedented, violent upheaval. Their yearning for free will and their determination to survive erupted with unparalleled intensity.

Furthermore, it contained a profound sense of struggle and defiance!

In particular, the resentment accumulated over countless generations ignited at this instant, unleashing an incredibly terrifying power of aspiration.

As this power of aspiration continuously surged, another light emerged in the sky of the Moon Offering Domain—a first since the Red Moon star appeared on the horizon, dyeing the sky red.

It was a white light.

It was formed by countless converging specks of light, illuminating the entire sky and visible from anywhere within the domain by simply looking up.

Even places that had long been deprived of light were brightly illuminated at this moment.

These specks of light resembled stars, shimmering as they traversed the void in an inconceivable manner, heading directly towards their source of attraction.

That place was precisely the God-Slaying Platform where Xu Qing was.

In the blink of an eye, countless white specks of light appeared at the recording site, growing in number, dense and overwhelming, astonishing everyone present.

The Captain's expression was agitated; he had orchestrated such a grand spectacle precisely for this collective power of all beings.

“It’s not enough yet, wait a little longer,” the Captain forcibly held himself back, watching the power of aspiration surge every moment, his heart turbulent with emotion.

Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu were also breathing rapidly at this moment, looking at the converging specks of light around them. They instinctively felt the power and were instantly moved.

Within these specks of light, they clearly perceived struggle and hope.

A struggle against fate, and hope for survival.

You Jing licked her lips, glancing at the Young Master and the others, then at Xu Qing. She had to suppress her inner impulse.

For her, this power of aspiration was the best nourishment, and its sheer quantity caused her inner turmoil.

Ultimately, however, she didn't dare to secretly consume it. On one hand, she feared the Young Master; on the other, she sensed that it contained karma, and consuming it might not lead to a good outcome.

As for Li Youfei, he gazed at everything in a daze, but soon, his heart settled into tranquility.

He was used to it.

Xu Qing, at the center of this converging myriad of aspiration power, slowly raised his head, gazing at the white specks of light pervading around him. He clearly sensed that they were not actually meant for him.

More precisely, they came for hope, containing within them the karma of all beings.

Xu Qing remained silent.

Just then, the Young Master suddenly spoke. “Xu Qing, take out your Spirit Treasure Fruit and consume it!”

“Using the residual aura here, attract ancient thunder tribulations to baptize you, allowing all your Nascent Souls to reach the Four-Tribulation realm!”

“The baptism of ancient heavenly lightning, traveling through time, inherently contains the power of time. This is an extremely rare opportunity for you!”

“This time, I will continue to activate the Dusk Feeding Tea Edict restriction for you.”

“Remember, this is an opportunity—an opportunity to hone your ultimate killing move!”

“Though you have comprehended the God-Slaying Platform, once you leave this place and lose this unique environment, you won't truly be able to unleash it. Therefore, you must find a way to manifest it in your own manner!”

“Turn it into your true ultimate killing move!” The Young Master gazed deeply at Xu Qing, his eyes full of meaning.

“Although this thunder tribulation will be subject to the Dusk Feeding Tea Edict restriction, it will not be lessened if you cannot bear it. Only when you transform the God-Slaying Platform into your ultimate killing move and destroy a bolt of heavenly lightning will it cease and be shared.”

“If you succeed, this power of all beings can converge upon your blade's edge. From then on, your God-Slaying Sluice Blade will gather immense karma!”

Xu Qing's body trembled, and he suddenly looked up towards the Young Master.

His eyes gleamed with sharpness. After a brief silence, he immediately took out the Spirit Treasure Fruit once gifted by Princess Mingmei and swallowed it in one gulp.

The fruit melted instantly upon entering his mouth, forming a wave of heat as if transforming into a terrifying volcano that abruptly erupted within Xu Qing's body.

It was the power of a complete secret treasure contained within the Spirit Treasure Fruit.

Furthermore, with this eruption, Xu Qing also heard roars emanating from within the fruit.

They were the roars of the opposing Heavenly Dao.

In an instant, all of Xu Qing's Nascent Souls opened their eyes and began to circulate on their own.

The Golden Crow soared, the Ghost Emperor Mountain trembled, the Morning Glow shimmered, and the Time Bottle fluctuated. Aside from the Purple Moon Nascent Soul remaining unchanged, the other twelve Nascent Souls transformed into twelve black holes, fully devouring the wave of heat that filled Xu Qing's entire body.

As the absorption and integration continued, the Golden Crow Nascent Soul was the first to complete the process, and the sensation of attracting heavenly tribulation immediately erupted.

Next was Xu Qing's Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul. It awoke from its slumber, its Azure Dragon form emitting a long roar, and headed directly towards the Secret Heavenly Dao. With the Purple Moon's suppression, it absorbed wildly, also reaching the Three-Tribulation Grand Perfection realm.

Then came the Poison Restriction, the Morning Glow, the Time Bottle, and the Ghost Emperor Mountain.

They successively erupted and continued to ascend. The power of the Poison Restriction permeated in all directions, shrouding Xu Qing in a haze.

The Morning Glow shimmered within, manifesting all things.

The Time Bottle undulated within, emitting a sense of time, while the Ghost Emperor Mountain's eyes suddenly opened, exuding overwhelming might.

Finally, it was Ding Yi San Er.

Inside Ding Yi San Er, the Divine Finger dared not move, and the head and other entities also trembled.

In their eyes, Xu Qing's Nascent Soul, resembling a small boy, sat cross-legged within Ding Yi San Er, forming hand seals. He was surrounded by countless shattered jade slips, each shimmering with brilliant light.

With booming sounds echoing voluminously, Xu Qing's eight great Nascent Souls emitted terrifying fluctuations within this surging heat wave. But all of this was not yet over.

The next instant, all five of his Sundial Life Lamps trembled, transforming into five massive, continuously rotating vortices that massively drew in the Spirit Treasure Fruit's power filling Xu Qing's body. During this process, the sundial's needles could be seen rotating faster than ever before, circling round and round, as if time itself was being accelerated within Xu Qing's body. Soon, on these five life lamps, the Nascent Souls that had transformed into suns also emitted fluctuations indicating the Three-Tribulation Grand Perfection realm.

By this point, all thirteen of Xu Qing's Nascent Souls, except for the Purple Moon, which was already at a higher level, had reached the critical point of Three-Tribulation Grand Perfection.

The power attracting heavenly tribulation also reached its peak at this moment. The sealed world thundered.

Ancient winds blew once more, kicking up dust, while within the massive vortex in the sky, the sound of thunder reverberated.

The sound carried a sense of ancientness, as if being pulled through ages from the depths of time. Just then, the Young Master turned his head to look at Fifth Sister.

Fifth Sister raised her hand and waved it forward.

Instantly, a group of small chicks flew out.

These were only a portion of Fifth Sister's chicks. The moment they appeared, their eyes showed fear and despair as they clucked.

But it was futile. In the blink of an eye, with the Young Master's intervention, an invisible connection was established between them and Xu Qing.

This altered how Xu Qing was perceived by the heavenly tribulation.

He was no longer just a Nascent Soul at Three-Tribulation Grand Perfection, but a composite entity embodying numerous powerful beings!

Consequently, the thunder's roar became even more astonishing. Amidst continuous explosions, the Young Master gazed deeply at Xu Qing, then suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out fresh blood.

Princess Mingmei, Old Eighth, and Fifth Sister did the same simultaneously.

The blood of the four of them converged, forming a blood-red curtain that enveloped the blade in the sky, the platform on the ground, and Xu Qing and the small chicks within. Everything was enveloped together, forming a massive blood cocoon!

From a distance, it resembled a spherical egg!

After completing these actions, the Young Master and the other three each stepped forward, appearing around the blood-red cocoon. They sat cross-legged, all forming hand seals, and pointed forward.

“Let the blood of enshrined spirits serve as a mirror, allowing this child to comprehend the divine abilities of the Father Sovereign. Let ancient tribulations bear witness, forging all things and refining the cosmos.” The four spoke simultaneously, their voices imbued with ancientness, resonating with the thunder and shaking all directions, like a solemn oath.

The massive blood cocoon vibrated with a rumble. The thunderous sound from the sky vortex grew louder at this moment, with faint arcs of lightning faintly visible within.

These arcs of lightning were cyan. Continuously flashing, they began to converge, forming massive runes that transformed into ancient thunder, with a deafening roar that utterly appalled Ning Yan and the others.

“This is Four Tribulations… what the hell, this is Four Tribulations? What are they trying to do?!”

“First Tribulation: the destiny of Sea Sealing County recedes. Second Tribulation: gaps in the fluctuations of heaven and earth rules descend. Third Tribulation: the boundless expanse of the Green Sand Desert serves as the body. Fourth Tribulation: ancient heavenly lightning refines the soul!”

“Then what will the Fifth Tribulation be in the future? What else could surpass this Fourth Tribulation? Could it possibly be a divine spirit replacing the tribulation?”

Ning Yan trembled.

Wu Jianwu also shivered. Li Youfei gave a proud smile; he remained calm, though his body subtly trembled.

As for You Jing, she looked with a complicated expression at the blood cocoon where Xu Qing was. With her experience, she vaguely guessed the Young Master's and the others' purpose.

“Metamorphosis…”

The Captain looked up and murmured, a smile appearing on his face.

“Little A’Qing, the Moon Offering Domain is where we will rise. The Scarlet Mother is your Fifth Tribulation!”

As everyone's minds fluctuated, the thunderous roar of the sky vortex suddenly surged, and a bolt of lightning, exuding an ancient aura, tore through time and fiercely struck down towards Xu Qing!

The instant the lightning descended, the Young Master formed a hand seal and pressed it to his brow.

“From this moment, the heavens and earth of this realm belong to this child!”

Old Eighth roared, bringing his hands together to form a seal.

“From this moment, the desires of this realm belong to this child!”

Princess Mingmei's voice was low. With a wave of her hand, the long river of time appeared, intercepted at this location.

“From this moment, the time of this realm belongs to this child!”

Fifth Sister spoke softly, as a sense of revival rose up.

“From this moment, the new life of this realm belongs to this child!”

The heavenly lightning rumbled, like an ancient thunder dragon roaring as it arrived, and slammed into the blood cocoon.

The blood cocoon trembled, emitting a deafening sound. The lightning shattered, transforming into tens of thousands of electric lights which pierced through and entered.

The next instant, the sky vortex spun again, and ancient thunder roared within, erupting and descending.
