Chapter 527: Movement I (1/2)

Origin World — The Death Land.

Atop a tower stood a girl with straight black hair. She held a crimson sword looking far off into the distance, watching the writhing purple clouds, overcasting the horizon.

[The Revenants' Appearance has lessened, but the movement of the Abyss has been on a constant advance. Master said that the Abyssal Crystals are similar to the Chaos Qi, but different to his.] Chang Ping's thought it through and shook her head.

[If that's true, then this bastard is only growing stronger the more we fight.] Chang Ping already received a brief overview of the Emperor of Death's and Wang Ling's Chaos Qi.

While Wang Ling's Chaos Qi was rooted as a source and has exponential power that incinerates, or even decimates all, the other grows stronger with [Conflict] and other variables.

When Wang Ling explained he was the All-Father to Chang Ping, he did not allow any gaps in the explanation that she should know. About the nature of his and the Gray Figure's Chaos Qi, all it was present in Chang Ping's head.

[The longer it draws out, the stronger it becomes. After 17,000 years, surely it had gathered more than enough strength to wipe us all out, but… it's not doing such a thing. The Gray Figure, or rather, the Emperor of Death… what does it want?]

”So that's where you have been, Martial Sister. Tang Ai and the other of the Absolute Six Swords are looking for you.” From behind, a voice echoed. Chang Ping turned around and saw Yan Renhuo with a pleasant smile on her face… most of her body was covered in burn scars.

”Seems like you can move now, Miss Yan. I honestly thought you would die when I saw your wounds weren't reverting. I really thought you'd join the others.”

When Yan Renhuo was devoured by her own flames, she only managed to stop the torture thanks to Qinyang. She survived, but due to that, the composition of the Chaos Flames and its absurd intensity almost burnt her to a crisp.

”Well, my futile attempts of recovering my flesh are rendered useless. But on the bright side, the Chaos Flames grew in strength but assimilated better in my body. I'm a notch stronger than before.” Yan Renhuo boasted.

Thankfully, she kept her life, but the burnt scars she experienced could be reverted. Though she's no longer in pain and her qi actually exploded in its strength, improving by leaps and bounds also granting her a tighter leash on the Chaos Flames, the scars would remain for all of eternity, at least, until she finds a way to go through a whole Nirvanic Cycle and create another body.

But with the current Cultivation of the Universe, she would need to go to in-depth research in order to create another step beyond what she already has achieved.

Chang Ping laughed, ”Good for you then. So, is the Alchemist Tower starting to feel the pressure of the coming storm?” she asked ever so casually and then brought out a wine she received from Naor (Roan).
