Chapter 280 - : Reduced to Bones and Ashes, Artifact Spirit?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qi Ming found it very difficult to explain the process and feeling of the breakthrough. This feeling, this feeling, this improvement, this evolution could indeed only be understood and not explained.
A breakthrough was a breakthrough.
If one had to describe it, Qi Ming felt that after his breakthrough, his entire body, from strength to Dharmic powers, from his body to his soul, from his mind to his True Spirit, had obtained an unprecedented transformation.
After reaching the Mahayana realm, Qi Ming vaguely sensed the Upper World and felt a faint summoning.
Qi Ming had only just broken through and completed the transformation not long ago. This feeling was still relatively weak. When Qi Ming stayed in the lower realm for a long time, this feeling and summoning would reach a limit.
At that time, just blocking the summoning of the Upper World alone would consume a lot of Dharmic powers and mental energy. It was basically very difficult for Qi Ming to continue staying in the lower realm. He had to ascend to the Upper World and escape the lower realm.
After reaching the Mahayana realm, one could also not ascend to the Upper World and stay in the lower realm. However, there was a limit to the lifespan of the Mahayana realm, about 100,000 years.
Even in a perfect lower realm like the Great Desolate World, the Mahayana realm could only live for more than a million years at most. In the end, their lifespan would be exhausted and they would die.
Therefore…
If one wanted to live forever, he had to ascend to the Upper World. When he ascended to the Upper World, the existence of the Mahayana realm would receive the baptism of the Upper World and welcome another transformation to become an immortal. Only then could he live forever.
Qi Ming’s Dharmic powers and divine powers had completed the transformation. His cultivation and realm had truly broken through to the Mahayana realm.
This advancement was completely a last minute breakthrough, but it happened smoothly without any accidents.
All in all, he completed his breakthrough in a short period of time.
Qi Ming opened his eyes. After his cultivation level broke through, his strength naturally increased by a huge leap. Compared to him, who was still at the limit of the Tribulation Transcendence realm, he was much stronger. They were on completely different levels.
Suddenly, the Origin Immortal King’s headless corpse floated in the air. The Origin Immortal King’s consciousness had an undying nature. Therefore, even if he was beheaded by Qi Ming, he would not die or be destroyed.
At this moment, the Origin Immortal King used his consciousness to mobilize the power of the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate. Unknowingly, the World Origin in the World Gate quickly surged towards the Origin Immortal King.
Clearly, the Origin Immortal King wanted to rely on the power of the World Origin to revive his soul and Essence Soul. He wanted to revive and fight with all his might.
He was unresigned!
He was extremely unresigned!
“You don’t have a chance anymore.”
Qi Ming flew over. His right hand landed, and supreme Dharmic powers surged out. All kinds of divine powers erupted, transforming into the palm of Pangu that struck at the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate.
Boom!!!
There was a loud sound.
Qi Ming’s strike was too terrifying. It had already exceeded the limit of the lower realm and reached an unbelievable level. It landed on the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate and shook violently.
Most importantly…
Qi Ming’s palm broke the connection between the Origin Immortal King and the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate. The World Origin that was surging towards the Origin Immortal King returned to the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate.
“No!!!”
Vaguely, Qi Ming heard the unwilling cry of the Origin Immortal King’s consciousness.
“Die!” Qi Ming soared into the sky again and stood in front of the Origin Immortal King’s corpse. His gaze was cold as he raised his hand again and directly slapped down.
Boom!!!
An explosion sounded.
The Origin Immortal King’s headless corpse, along with his head, was forcefully obliterated by Qi Ming’s palm, turning into ashes that filled the sky. With a breeze, it scattered in the world.
He clearly sensed that the Origin Immortal King’s corpse had turned to ashes. There was no corpse left. His soul and Essence Soul had been destroyed, but only his consciousness remained.
The Origin Immortal King’s consciousness returned to the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate.
Silence.
The Origin Immortal King secretly hid his consciousness.
“Undying consciousness.”
Qi Ming pondered for a moment before raising his head and looking at the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as a smile appeared on his face, “Hehe, this is a good thing.”
Crack! Crack!
Somehow, the consciousness of the Mystic World completely recovered its freedom. This was because although the Origin Immortal King’s consciousness was not destroyed, he had actually died. His corpse had been burned to ashes by Qi Ming.
This way, the Origin Immortal King’s divine powers and spells were completely ineffective.
The final core array diagram of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths World Creation Array was shattering. The array patterns disappeared and gradually transformed into starlight that filled the sky and dissipated.
In a short period of time, the core array formation completely dissipated.
The explosion turned into light that filled the sky.
“It disappeared, it completely disappeared…”
“The core array diagram of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths World Creation Array has completely disappeared…”
“Senior Qi Ming won. Senior Qi Ming must have won!”
“Hahaha…”
“I… I… I feel it. I sense the Upper World. This… this…”
“I also sensed it.”
“The seal has disappeared. The seal has disappeared.”
“The Upper World! I sensed the existence of the Upper World!”
“…”
At this moment, on the battlefield of the four Heavenly Gates.
The cultivators of the five races raised their heads and clearly saw the core array formation disappear. The pressure disappeared, making them extremely excited.
Additionally, because of the death of the Origin Immortal King, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths World’s Creation Array was completely destroyed, and the consciousness of the Mystic World completely recovered its freedom.
They sensed the existence of the Upper World again.
Somehow, this type of summon from the Upper World made them incomparably excited and excited. They really wanted to immediately ascend and head to the Upper World.
They could not do this yet, nor could they. This battle had not stopped. The entire Mystic World was filled with endless killing intent.
Under such circumstances, the Mahayana realm experts of the five races were unable to ascend to the Upper World. When they ascended, they would be affected by the killing intent of heaven and earth and might even be surrounded by killing intent.
Actually, logically speaking, existences at the Mahayana realm had long transcended all calamities and resolved all karma. They had reached the ceiling of the lower realm. Even if they were affected by the killing intent of heaven and earth when they ascended, it was not very big and they could still forcefully ascend.
Most importantly, it was the Immortal Kings.
It was impossible for them to watch the Mahayana realm experts of the five races ascend. The Immortal Kings would definitely attack when the Mahayana realm experts of the five races ascend and think of ways to stop them from ascending.
If they wanted to ascend to the Upper World, they had to win this war.
In the Void Layer.
The Spacetime Treasure: World Gate emitted a light. The power of the world surged. Under the control of the Origin Immortal King’s consciousness, he wanted to escape.
“Imprison!”
Qi Ming waved his right hand, and his Mahayana Dharmic powers surged out, evolving an invisible force that forcefully stopped the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate.
He clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the three-meter-tall Spacetime Treasure: World Gate. It was an ancient and unadorned door, but it emitted a powerful aura.
“You can’t escape.” Qi Ming said in a low voice.
The Origin Immortal King’s consciousness sent a voice transmission from the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate, “I have the status of an Upper World Immortal King. My consciousness already possesses the undying nature. With your strength, you can’t obliterate my consciousness.”
“You can’t really kill me!”
“Hehe.” Qi Ming chuckled and did not pay too much attention to the Origin Immortal King’s tone, “Origin Immortal King, your consciousness has been in the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate for such a long time. It has long been tainted with its aura.”
“I’m afraid you don’t know it yourself.”
“You are actually already transforming into the artifact spirit of the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate. You relied on the World Gate to survive until now. Similarly, it has been gradually assimilating you.”
“You’re not the true owner of the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate at all! This is because you only forcefully refined 90% of the origin power of the World Gate back then.”
“Impossible!” The Origin Immortal King’s tone was filled with fear. He had clearly been woken up by Qi Ming and fell into fear. Most importantly, he had only truly discovered his change now.
Clearly, Qi Ming was right.
The Origin Immortal King had survived with the help of the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate, but he had also paid the corresponding price. His consciousness was being assimilated by it.
If the Origin Immortal King’s plan had succeeded and he had really devoured the entire Mystic World and absorbed all the World Source, he would have recovered all his cultivation and even advanced further.
His consciousness would completely recover.
The Spacetime Treasure: World Gate could not assimilate the Origin Immortal King’s consciousness.
Unfortunately, the Origin Immortal King had failed.
He had completely failed.
The Origin Immortal King’s consciousness was further assimilated by the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate. As time passed, there would be a day when the Origin Immortal King would no longer be himself. He would become the artifact spirit of the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate.
In addition, Qi Ming also knew this. With his current cultivation and strength, he was indeed unable to obliterate the consciousness of the Origin Immortal King. However, Qi Ming had successfully cultivated the Three Pure Dao Scripture and comprehended the Chaos-colored Heaven and Earth Great Dao Rune. He could refine the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate himself.
At that time, Qi Ming could even refine the consciousness of the Origin Immortal King into the artifact spirit of the Spacetime Treasure: World Gate.. He could also let it absorb countless World Sources.
