The vast voice entered his mind. Xu Qing’s eyelids drooped slightly as he calmly spoke.

“Your Excellency, I don’t have the strength to partic.i.p.ate in your fight with Ming Fei. I wonder how I can help you.”

“It’s precisely because of this that I need your help.” The voice of the Heavenly Dao rang out again, its tone ancient yet tinged with plea.

“My battle with that malevolent ent.i.ty spans across the stars and the myriad realms, contesting both fate and the Dao.”

“This realm is the origin of the Northern Age, as well as the starting point of the appearance of Ming Fei. It harbors the shadow of its Dao, and it has already usurped much of the Heavenly Dao authority in this realm.”

“Little friend, please draw out Ming FeiO’s Dao Shadow Origin, and slay it more than a hundred times!”

“Each time it dies, it will deplete Ming Fei’s origin power, which will then create an opportunity for me to unfold the heavenly fate!”

“I’ve let down the Immortal Emperor, unable to protect the lives of the beings in this realm. Now, clinging to the last vestiges of existence, I only seek to seize this opportunity, to perish together with that malevolent ent.i.ty, fulfilling my destiny, perfecting my Dao, and upholding the principles of the Heavenly Dao, in grat.i.tude for the Immortal Emperor’s grace.”

“And in return, little friend… I’ll give the sole eye of Ming Fei to you when I die with it.”

“Your repository lacks the Heavenly Dao and contains special senses. Ming Fei was born out of resentment, with this resentment stemming from the calamity caused by the outer G.o.ds. Hence, it can be called the source of the G.o.d of resentment. It can help you make up for the flaw in your repository.”

“Moreover, this is also the only way for you to leave this place.”

Xu Qing fell into deep thought but didn’t reply. He then lifted his head and stared at the fog in the sky.

That fog contained poison and flowed through the world. From time to time, it would fall like a waterfall, rinsing the ground. The entire fog looked thin but because the range was vast, it also gave off the feeling of blotting out the sky.

The words of the self-proclaimed Heavenly Dao of this world made sense. Xu Qing understood that because his second divine repository was formed from the Poison Restriction, there were very few living beings who could become the repository’s Heavenly Dao.

After all, Xu Qing had long understood the essence of the Poison Restriction over the years. That was a G.o.d’s curse.

This was also the reason why he took the risk to enter the seventh vortex.

If Ming Fei was really born from the resentment of all living beings when the outer G.o.ds descended to destroy the world, this resentment toward the G.o.ds could indeed meet the conditions of becoming the Heavenly Dao of the Poison Restriction’s divine repository to a certain extent.

This point could also be verified from the fluctuations of the Poison Restriction’s divine repository and the desire it emitted after seeing Ming Fei in the starry sky.

However…

A dark glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. After pondering for a moment, he calmly spoke.

“Alright!”

“Thank you, little friend. I cannot afford to be distracted with more words. At this moment, my mind is focused on the battle with Ming Fei. You only need to stir up intense disturbances here, perform acts of destruction, and Ming Fei’s Dao shadow will naturally descend to stop you.”

“And your safety shall be my responsibility, do me this favor and once this is done, Green Wood shall not forget his promise!”

An aged voice filled with resolve echoed in all directions.

After that, countless light spots flickered in all directions and rose from the world. They seemed to represent his divine sense and gathered into a beam of light that headed straight for the sky.

Xu Qing, who was standing on the slanted paG.o.da, retracted his gaze as he watched the beam of light disappear into the sky.

His expression was emotionless, as calm as water. There were no distracting thoughts. He only looked meaningfully at the stone tablet that had been pieced together in front of him.

A long time later, he waved his right hand and dispersed the power of the stone tablet.

The huge stone tablet that recorded history collapsed and turned into dozens of pieces again, scattering on the ground. It lost its light and was covered in dust again.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and sat on the slanted paG.o.da. Green Wood’s words told him that if he wanted to lure Ming Fei’s Dao Shadow Origin Body, he had to perform acts of destruction.

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble.”

Xu Qing mumbled and his eyes instantly turned pitch-black. The second repository gate rumbled and the power of the Poison Restriction rose, merging into his eyes.

Wherever his gaze landed, the Poison Restriction spread.

He looked at the ruins. All the buildings instantly blurred. It was the same for the roads and buildings. The Poison Restriction turned into fog, distorting everything.

He looked at the surrounding land. The gray land of this world seemed to be splattered with ink and turned pitch-black. The aura of the Poison Restriction gave birth to toxic miasma.

He looked at the sky. The sky churned. In the fog that filled the sky, there was an additional fog of the Poison Restriction. They didn’t mix together but exploded like water entering a pot of oil.

Wherever Xu Qing’s gaze fell, the divine curse descended.

The world rumbled and the fog turned violent.

Soon, from everything he had gazed at, the fog that represented the Poison Restriction continued to rise and gather in the air above the slanted paG.o.da. It was clearly different from the fog in the surroundings.

Booming sounds echoed through the sky.

One could see two vortexes appearing in the sky. One was in the center and contained Xu Qing’s Poison Restriction. It spun rapidly and emitted a majestic aura.

The second was everywhere around it. It came from the poison of this world and formed an enveloping force that rotated in the opposite direction. It was astonishingly vast.

The two vortices spun at the same time in opposite directions, forming a tearing intent, causing the void to shatter and lightning to distort.

As time pa.s.sed, it became increasingly intense and continued to explode. There was also a strong wind howling on the surface of the ground, forming a storm that swept through everything.

From afar, it was as though the sky and earth had collapsed.

Only Xu Qing, who was on the slanted paG.o.da under the vortex, looked calm as he stared fixedly at the sky.

His long hair and clothes fluttered in the storm, and coupled with his appearance, he looked like an immortal or a G.o.d.

At the next instant, a bull-like roar rang out from the sky. This sound echoed and was deafening, shaking the world.

Moreover, it contained lightning and nomological rules. As the sound spread, the sky no longer collapsed and the ground no longer cracked. Even the vortices stopped.

The wind also stopped!

Only the fog churned intensely and fell from the sky like a waterfall. It was like an inverted flower that spread in all directions. A beast walked out of the fog.

This beast’s body was like a bull’s. Its head was white and it had a single eye with a vertical pupil. Its tail was like a serpent and it looked sinister.

As it walked over, a great plague that was like an ancient poison surrounded it.

As it walked in the air, the air seemed to decay.

As it stepped on the void, the void seemed to collapse.

Wherever it pa.s.sed, the poisonous plague spread, dyeing the sky and spreading to the ground. It then rushed toward Xu Qing with killing intent.

Its appearance was none other than of Ming Fei which Xu Qing had seen in the starry sky. However, compared to its body in the starry sky, it was too small.

If a mortal saw it, they would definitely be extremely terrified. However, in Xu Qing’s eyes, although this beast’s poison plague was astonishing, the combat strength of Ming Fei’s Dao Shadow Origin Body was only at the first stage of Nihility.

However, Xu Qing wasn’t too surprised by this. The instant Ming Fei’s poisonous plague rushed over, he casually lifted his right hand and slapped forward.

The world trembled and countless soul threads flew out, forming a huge palm in the air. In front of Xu Qing, it was like the hand of a G.o.d as it grabbed the Dao Shadow.

It then clenched ruthlessly.

With a boom, the incomparably terrifying Ming Fei from a breath ago was directly crushed by Xu Qing’s palm at the next instant, both body and soul destroyed.

However, just as the huge palm formed by the soul threads relaxed and was about to be retracted by Xu Qing, 30% of the soul threads that formed the palm suddenly trembled and instantly turned pitch-black. There was also resentment rising from them.

It rapidly spread, as though it wanted to envelop the entire palm.

That was the Fei Poison!

For the first time, a strange glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He didn’t bother with the palm in the air but lifted his hand and grabbed. Immediately, a black soul thread headed straight for him and landed in his hand.

Xu Qing had studied the Dao of Poison extremely deeply and had a lot of experience. At that moment, his gaze landed on the black soul thread in his palm. After observing it thoroughly, he fell into deep thought and suddenly inhaled.

Immediately, the black soul thread fused into Xu Qing’s body.

At the next instant, a dazed expression appeared on Xu Qing’s face. After that, brutality rose but he suppressed it in the blink of an eye. The Poison Restriction in his body erupted and spread throughout his body, enveloping everything.

This caused the wisp of black soul thread to dissipate as though it had been purified.

However, his eyes had a peculiar look.

“This poison is actually targeted at divinity!”

Xu Qing mumbled. He now had a better understanding of the Fei poison.

The poison of Ming Fei was born out of resentment toward the G.o.ds. Hence, it could taint divinity, causing it to lose its radiance and fall to a lower level. It was a rare poison that could have an effect on G.o.ds.

Xu Qing took the initiative to absorb that trace of poison to observe earlier. Although it was only a trace, it still caused his divinity, human nature, and b.e.s.t.i.a.l nature to temporarily lose balance.

“Interesting.”

Xu Qing licked his lips. This was the first time he had encountered a poison that could resist the Poison Restriction to a certain extent. Although it wasn’t in all aspects, it was unique in terms of divinity.

Hence, he activated the Poison Restriction in his eyes and stared at the soul thread palm in the air. The moment his gaze landed, the Poison Restriction and the Fei Poison used the palm as a battlefield and fought against each other.

The world rumbled again. From the place where Ming Fei died, the fog from the world gathered. Ming Fei’s body transformed from illusory to corporeal and formed again. Moreover, its combat strength had increased a little compared to before. After it was formed, it roared and sped toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing lifted his right hand and grabbed fiercely. This time, it wasn’t the convergence of soul threads. Instead, he relied on his terrifying combat strength to grab Ming Fei from afar and bring it in front of him.

Ming Fei couldn’t even struggle. It could only spit out poison mist that spread in all directions.

However, Xu Qing didn’t bother with the poison. He held it in front of him and slashed it open. His gaze was focused as he began to study it.

He wanted to study its body structure, soul structure, and the essence of how its poison was formed.

This action stunned even Ming Fei. It immediately struggled even more intensely. However, the huge difference between the two of them caused anything it used to be ineffective other than its poison.

However, this poison was indeed ferocious. After Ming Fei spat out seven to eight mouthfuls of poison, the poison dyed the surroundings and invaded the divinity. Xu Qing frowned. With a wave of his hand, the black spear appeared beside him and pierced through Ming Fei’s head, destroying its body and soul again.

“Its body is illusory and its soul is blurry. It is indeed born from resentment, but the way this resentment circulates in its body is a little interesting…”

“I need to dissect it a few more times before I can understand its essence.”

Xu Qing’s eyes were bright as he looked at the place of death. Antic.i.p.ation rose in his heart.

A few breaths later, Ming Fei formed in front of Xu Qing again. The moment it appeared, it was about to roar but at the next instant, Xu Qing’s large hand had already arrived.

He continued to hold it close and dissected it. He separated its body, serpent tail, and limbs. With the spirit of research, he carefully studied it…
