With a deafening boom, the firmament cracked. Countless bloody auras surged out from Kongsang Mountain. The blood qi that filled the sky and the earth was as if the end of the world had arrived!
"Reverse Yin and Yang, and reshape the body!"
A turbid and ancient voice came from the depths of Kongsang Mountain. Birds and beasts fled in panic, and the clouds tumbled. The earth trembled slowly, and streaks of cracks appeared on the surface, as if something was about to emerge.
"Boom ——————"
A momentum that shot straight into the sky blew a huge hole in the ground. It was pitch-black underneath, and one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face. Lin Xing's spiritual power raced like the wind, notifying everyone to disperse quickly.
Had the Ming King actually found a body?
As Lin Xing was questioning, a handsome figure slowly rose from the ground. Even in the darkness, it was still so vigorous, powerful, and dazzling!
The Ming King stepped onto the void step by step, took a deep breath, and the surrounding blood qi rushed into his body one after another, nourishing him. The gloomy aura on the Ming King's body gradually dissipated.
"I made preparations many years ago. The bats in Kongsang Mountain have inherited the power of my essence blood, and they are perfect for recovery. This young lad accidentally entered Kongsang Mountain, which was an added bonus."
The Ming King walked step by step, exuding an air of elegance with a hint of domineering. It was hard to imagine that these two completely different temperaments could be so closely combined.
"Is this body Qi Hao's?" Lin Xing asked.
"That's right, it's Qi Hao!" Instead of rushing to attack, the Ming King started chatting with Lin Xing. "When he learned the Sunflower Manual from me, I prepared for this day. There is no more suitable body in the world."
"No, it's not just the Sunflower Manual." Lin Xing frowned. "You, you used the Beast God ——"
"Of course! The Beast God was originally within my plan. Since the Heavenly Emperor designed to let Linglong influence the Asura, if I didn't make good use of it, how could I be worthy of his painstaking cultivation? After dealing with you, I'll go and settle the score with that guy!" As the words fell, the Ming King grabbed in the distance.
Sizzle —— A space crack thousands of feet long appeared in front of Lin Xing. The Ming King had obtained a physical body, which was remade with his essence blood and the flesh and blood of the Asura. He was no less powerful than he was in his prime! Coupled with the Ming King's hard cultivation over the years, his strength was now close to that of the Heavenly Emperor in the past!
Lin Xing didn't say a word. A bright red bead emerged on its own initiative. The space shook violently and then returned to its original state. The Bloodthirsty Bead smiled on Lin Xing's shoulder and playfully tickled him.
"Oh? The essence blood of the Asura has actually evolved successfully? It's really a miracle." The Ming King paced around, and his aura continued to rise. After integrating with the physical body, there was a transition period. The Ming King's strength would soar wildly during this time.
"Give me the time of burning an incense stick. We'll start after that." Lin Xing looked at the Ming King, and the fighting spirit in his heart gradually burned hotter. Such a Ming King was really interesting!
The time of burning an incense stick was exactly the time needed for the Ming King to return to his peak state.
"You want to have a fair fight with this king?"
"That's right."
The Ming King looked around and fixed his eyes on the three people behind Lin Xing.
"Oh, they will take action when I can't beat you or when you try to run away." Lin Xing explained shamelessly.
"You are really shameless. But you are much better than that hypocrite, the Heavenly Emperor." The Ming King smiled and didn't decline. The scene of the last battle with Lin Xing was still vivid in his mind. He didn't know how much Lin Xing had progressed. It was right to be cautious.
The laws of Yin and Yang intertwined on the Ming King's body, and faintly, there was an aura of breakthrough.
Lin Xing felt a bit of admiration in his heart.
Above Yin and Yang was Chaos. The Ming King had probably touched the edge of it. It was really hard to say how this battle would end.
And the fact that the Ming King didn't use his true form with four heads and eight hands further demonstrated his progress. After all, the human body was the foundation of the Ming King. The Ming King spent a great deal of effort reversing Yin and Yang to turn Qi Hao's body into a real man. In fact, it was to unleash his maximum combat power.
Returning to his true self. The Ming King's Tao was also close to perfection.
But what about his own Tao? Lin Xing thought that his principle of change was extremely diverse, almost encompassing everything in the world. However, precisely because it covered too wide a range, he had always been unable to break through.
"Pop!"
A soft sound woke Lin Xing up. A small hole burst open in the robe on the Ming King's body.
This was the result of being unable to control the spiritual qi. There was only one reason —— the Ming King had recovered. Suddenly regaining his strength, he hadn't been able to control it freely yet.
"Alright, let's start." The laws on the Ming King's body intersected, and the fragments of the cloth that had been turned into powder actually flew back one by one. The Taoist robe became clean and tidy again.
Lin Xing also stretched out his hand and took out the Asura Sword.
After being tempered by the essence blood of the Asura in the Fulong Cauldron and integrating with the Zhu Xian Sword, the Asura Sword at this moment was five points stronger than it was before. Even where the tip of the sword swept past, the spiritual qi seemed to be condensed by the evil aura!
"Oh, before we fight, I have a question for you." Lin Xing stroked the Asura Sword. It was as if they were connected by blood, and the Asura Sword let out a clear and low hum. Lin Xing's aura was slowly rising.
"What's the relationship between Zhou Yixian and the Heavenly Emperor?"
Lin Xing raised his head and stared at the Ming King. Lin Xing had thought about this question for a long time but had never found a clue.
The Kaleidoscope's simulated space couldn't record Zhou Yixian.
Zhou Yixian was in a similar illusory state, but he wasn't a soul body.
All these manifestations led Lin Xing to a terrifying conclusion: Zhou Yixian wasn't human!
What was the relationship between him and the Heavenly Emperor?
While brewing his fighting spirit, the Ming King said, "Zhou Yixian is just a wisp of the Heavenly Emperor's divine thoughts from the past. Even if the Heavenly Emperor is audacious, he wouldn't dare to just leave the Asura alone. However, as long as the soul of the Asura doesn't have any accidents, other things won't cause much trouble. Zhou Yixian was born with the duty of guarding the soul of the Asura."
"As long as he's alive, he has to guard the soul of the Asura!"
Changing the subject, the Ming King sneered, "It's a pity that the Heavenly Emperor is too self-righteous. How can a heartless thing like him understand the mysteries of life? Even plants have feelings, not to mention a wisp of divine thoughts with intelligence? If I'm not wrong, the defection of the Zhu Xian Sword and the condensation of the Bloodthirsty Bead are all thanks to this guy. The Heavenly Emperor probably never expected that he would create such a terrifying thing."
Lin Xing suddenly understood everything!
So that's how it was, so that's how it was!!
No wonder Zhou Yixian talked about the "predestined fate"!
From the moment he appeared in this world, his mission was to guard the soul of the Asura. His cultivation came from the Heavenly Emperor, and even his existence was attached to the Heavenly Emperor; it was like a finger and a person, with the former relying on the latter. Once Zhou Yixian broke free from control, he would be like a finger separated from the body and completely dissipate. At that time, the Heavenly Emperor only needed to separate another wisp of divine thoughts!
And Zhou Yixian's final choice —— Zhou Yixian was probably struggling against the will of the Heavenly Emperor! If he won, he would break free from the cocoon and become a new life; if he lost, he would completely disappear between heaven and earth.
"He will succeed." Lin Xing raised the Asura Sword and pointed it at the Ming King in front of him.
If it weren't for his intervention, the Zhu Xian Sword would probably have successfully transformed! Zhou Yixian's two experiments were all for his final attempt!
This old man really knew his stuff! As far as Lin Xing knew, he rarely did things without being sure of success!
The Ming King also stretched out his hand. The eight weapons in his hand kept changing, and finally, they turned into a huge axe. He slowly said, "Actually, this king also thinks he will succeed."
The huge axe suddenly chopped down. There was no need for more words!
