Chapter 455: Courting Death! (3rd Update)
Su Weiyang writhed and screamed incessantly on the table, her voice hoarse and strained to its utmost. Even her form seemed about to disintegrate; this remnant soul was actually on the verge of complete annihilation. It was as if she had mentioned something taboo and was instantly on the verge of destruction. Incredible!
"Interesting," Qin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly. He raised his finger and lightly tapped Su Weiyang. Immediately, a milky white light fell upon her.
The power, brimming with life, instantly merged into Su Weiyang's body, stabilizing her disintegrating form and the remnant soul that was about to shatter.
"AAAH! HUFF HUFF HUFF!!" Su Weiyang lay on the table, this thumb-sized girl. Her expression was now one of utter terror as she mumbled, "This... this, how can this be? I... I can't remember. I can't remember at all! Right, how did I die? How did I become a remnant soul... AAAAAHHH!!"
She let out another terrible scream, her whole being plunged into extreme agony. In the next instant, with a BANG, she exploded into a cloud of golden light powder, scattering into the air!
The screaming had disappeared!
"The power is somewhat strange. I want to see if you can stop me," Qin Heng snorted coldly. He raised his hand and grasped; a cyan lotus rose in his palm. This was a Spell formed by the condensation of his Mana, which he then tossed into the air.
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
The cyan lotus began to gather the surrounding light. The golden powder from Su Weiyang's exploded remnant soul was instantly collected by the cyan lotus, converging at its refining core.
Countless specks of golden powder appeared at the heart of the lotus, drawing upon the Mana provided by Qin Heng. They slowly took shape, gradually forming an outline.
But at that moment, that invisible force suddenly appeared again, as if omnipresent, exerting its power on Su Weiyang from the void, a place beyond the intertwining of law and reason.
It attempted to make Su Weiyang explode and disintegrate once more, to dissipate completely.
"Scram!"
Qin Heng's gaze suddenly turned sharp. His Divine Sense, fundamentally still that of an Eternal-level Immortal Emperor, swept out. In an instant, it released such terrifying pressure that all conscious Transcendents on Earth were forced to kneel!
Simultaneously, it completely obliterated the invisible force, leaving no trace.
If not for Qin Heng's current cultivation being too weak—merely at the peak of Qi Refinement, unable to use the Divine Sense of an Immortal Emperor for long, capable of wielding only a billionth of it for an instant—he would have immediately traced the source of that strange power.
Qin Heng withdrew his Divine Sense and didn't continue searching for the specific source of that strange power. He estimated that to explore the source of that power, he would likely need to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage to sustain the required Divine Sense consumption.
If Qin Heng desired to break through, he could reach the Divinity Transformation Stage within a month at most. However, that would be a loss not worth the gain, as it was in the lower Realms that it was easiest to contact and comprehend the Supreme Law.
If he broke through, even if he could trace the source of that strange power, the benefits might not compensate for the increased difficulty in comprehending the Supreme Law.
Interesting. The Earth in this world... quite interesting! Qin Heng's eyes lit up with pleasant surprise. The more powerful the forces appearing on Earth, the happier he became.
Because it meant he was one step closer to surpassing his previous life's Realm, drawing nearer to that supreme state of omniscience and omnipotence!
"Thank you, Saint Emperor, for saving my life." Su Weiyang stood up from within the cyan lotus. Her form had reconstituted, but she lacked her previous vitality and looked very weak.
She stepped out from the cyan lotus and approached the table, kneeling respectfully before Qin Heng. "Saint Emperor, just now... after my recent ordeal, it seems a large part of my memory is hidden deep within my Divine Soul. I probably won't be able to recall it until my Divine Soul is fully recovered. However, I can state with certainty that what happened to the Central Heavenly Domain was no accident. Something unimaginably terrible definitely occurred during the ancient Mythological Era! I am certain of it!"
"This is indeed a very interesting matter," Qin Heng nodded slightly, looking at Su Weiyang on the table. He said, "You don't need to worry. Return to Cheng Yuyao's body and recuperate. Strive to recover as soon as possible."
Interesting?? Su Weiyang froze upon hearing these words, then looked at Qin Heng with indescribable reverence. Such a significant matter is merely 'interesting' to the Saint Emperor. Truly worthy of being the Saint Emperor, he really is too powerful!
Moreover, he actually drove away that terrifying and eerie power from the void! So strong, incredibly strong!
Amazement filled Su Weiyang's heart; her admiration for Qin Heng had reached its peak.
"Thank you, Saint Emperor," Su Weiyang said respectfully. She bowed and kowtowed on the table to Qin Heng, bidding him farewell, then transformed back into a golden light and entered Cheng Yuyao's body.
At this point, Cheng Yuyao had fallen into a deep sleep.
Su Weiyang was currently a remnant soul. Condensing her body consumed Cheng Yuyao's Qi and blood. The dispersal of Su Weiyang's form had also affected Cheng Yuyao, knocking her unconscious instantly.
「Moments later.」
Cheng Yuyao finally woke up. She looked at Qin Heng in astonishment and asked, "Huh? How did I fall asleep? What just... Ah! What about Su Weiyang?"
"I'm inside your mind. Don't speak to the Saint Emperor so casually! He is an Emperor who could annihilate star rivers with a mere flip of his hand!" Su Weiyang reminded her.
"Ah? Annihilate star rivers?" Cheng Yuyao looked bewildered, not understanding what Su Weiyang meant.
"It means that star rivers like the Milky Way are things an Immortal Emperor could destroy with a single palm strike!" Su Weiyang explained, then added, "I'm tired and need to rest. Take care of yourself."
"Qin Heng, what's going on?" Cheng Yuyao was still confused and looked at Qin Heng.
"It's nothing," Qin Heng waved his hand, not bothering to explain. Just then, his phone suddenly chimed with a WeChat message notification.
It was from Qin Yun.
He opened it and immediately stood up. An invisible aura burst forth, stirring the surrounding air into a fierce wind that sent all the tables in the coffee shop flying!
"Bro! Save me! Save us!!"
It was a plea for help!
DING-DONG!
Simultaneously, Qin Heng's phone chimed with an incoming text message.
"Qin Heng! I am Zeng Yuefeng, Zeng Yuechong's older brother! You little bastard! How dare you make my brother kneel and beg for mercy! You've got some nerve! Now I'm going to slaughter your little sister! I'll make you understand the price for provoking someone you can't afford to offend! HAHAHAHAHA!!"
BANG!
"Damn it!" Qin Heng's face turned extremely grim. He crushed the phone in his hand, and his aura instantly pulverized the table before him into a pile of wood dust scattered on the floor.
"The Zeng Family! The Zeng Family of Youzhou! What a Zeng Family! You are all courting death!"
