The Diamond Sectâs ancestor trembled. He couldnât tell if he was trembling in fear or excitement. He knew that once Xu Qing wanted to kill someone, unless the other party had shocking methods, he would definitely fight to the death.
In the past, Xu Qingâs enemies werenât extremely strong but this time was different.
Not only did the Diamond Sectâs ancestor sense how powerful that Saintly Star was from afar, but he also occasionally heard the disciples of the Homicide Department talking about him. He knew that this person had peerless talent.
However, he couldnât consider these at this moment. He understood that he only needed to know a littleâŚ
With Demon Xuâs personality, if he really died here, he would definitely use all his methods before he died. Detonating the iron stick was probably one of them.
âBecause of this Saintly Star, Demon Xu wants to kill. Because of this Saintly Star, Demon Xu wants to detonate me. Because of this Saintly Star, my life is in danger. All of this is because of Saintly Star. Saintly Star, you are trying to kill me!!â
When the Diamond Sectâs ancestor thought of this, his eyes turned bloodshot. He stared fixedly at Saintly Star through the black iron stick.
The shadow also clearly sensed the subtle fluctuations in Xu Qing and the Diamond Sectâs ancestor. Its intelligence had developed a lot now. After some thought, it also tensed up.
Dusk arrived. Xu Qing had been releasing colorless and odorless poison in the surroundings.
In reality, these werenât true poison. Regardless of whether it was individually or mixed together, they were harmless. However, once a catalyst was introduced, they could instantly turn into powerful poison.
However, Xu Qing felt that this wasnât enough to erase the difference between him and Saintly Star. After all, Saintly Star had displayed the combat strength of six fires in the Seven Blood Eyes. This combat strength was terrifying enough to fight against the First Peakâs elder.
Most importantly, Xu Qing wasnât sure if the combat strength of six fires was all that Saintly Star had.
In addition, he didnât sense any traces of the other partyâs Dao Protectors in the vicinity.
âWith his personality, Saintly Star wouldnât make the Dao Protectors remain concealed. So, he likely arranged for them to go out and deal with other things in the Phoenix Forbidden?â
Xu Qing pondered for a while. He felt that he still needed to observe more and not act rashly, just in case. At the same time, he was going to release more poison. Only then would his chances of winning increase.
He also opened five bottles that contained the little black bugs and controlled them to spread out.
However, after the little black bugs flew out, the results caused Xu Qing to be even more vigilant.
The canopy above Saintly Starâs head actually possessed some kind of protective barrier, causing the little black bugs to be unable to penetrate it immediately. They could only attach themselves to it and wait for an opportunity.
âMy life lantern canopy can protect the soul⌠Does Saintly Starâs life lantern protect the body?â Xu Qing fell into deep thought.
Time flowed by. Dusk passed and night arrived. The bright moon appeared in the sky and scattered its light on the ground.
Just as Xu Qing was sensing the poison in the surroundings and wondering which poison to add, his expression suddenly changed.
He saw that the instant night fell, the expressions of the cultivators outside the temple became solemn. Some of them even had faint anticipation in their eyes.
This surprised Xu Qing. He lifted his head and his gaze landed on the one-fire Foundation Building old man in the distance.
Under Xu Qingâs gaze, the old manâs body trembled. After some hesitation, he hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xu Qing before speaking in a low voice.
âFellow Daoist Xu, do you know the profundities of this Extreme Heaven Dao Temple?â
When Xu Qing heard this, his expression was as calm as ever. In the information he had obtained from the sect, there was indeed nothing about the profundities the other party had mentioned. Hence, he waited for the old man to continue.
When the old man saw this, he didnât hesitate or hide anything and told him the reason.
âFellow Daoist Xu, this Extreme Heaven Dao Temple was normal before but there have been some changes in the past four years. Hence, there are many more people here than before.â
âThis change is that every time night falls and the moonlight sprinkles into the Dao temple, the moment it lands on the statue, some saber shadows will appear.â
âEveryone can see them, but until now, no one has been able to successfully comprehend them. Only that lordâŚâ The old manâs gaze quickly swept past Saintly Star in the Dao Temple.
âHe has gained something every night during these few days. Although we have failed time and time again, we still have some hope in our minds. We donât ask for complete comprehension. Even if we can comprehend a little, itâs enough to increase our survival strength.â
The old man smiled bitterly.
Xu Qing fell into deep thought and turned to look at the temple.
At that moment, the bright moonâs light covered the ground and when it landed on the temple, a few rays passed through the cracks on the top of the temple and landed in the temple, shining on the statue.
Under Xu Qingâs gaze, the statue in the Extreme Heaven Dao Temple slowly changed under the moonlight.
Vaguely, the statue gained some liveliness and seemed to be moving. Many saber shadows appeared beside it, faintly discernible.
However, in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal.
Xu Qing felt strange and continued to stare. Very soon, he sensed the liveliness of the statue again and the saber shadows around it.
In the eyes of outsiders, these saber shadows were a blur. Only at a certain moment would they have the chance to see a clearer saber shadow.
However, in Xu Qingâs eyes, because he had already comprehended the Extreme Heaven Saber, each of these saber shadows was very clear.
The instant he saw them clearly, an illusory heavenly saber appeared above his head!
This heavenly saber was the Extreme Heaven Saber he had comprehended. As he continued to observe the saber shadows, streams of light spread from the illusory heavenly saber as though it was undergoing some changes.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that this change was leaning toward the degree of materialization.
In the past, the heavenly saber was in an illusory form. At this moment, starting from the hilt, the heavenly saber actually showed signs of turning corporeal in the flowing light.
Moreover, this sign of materialization was still spreading. Xu Qing could imagine that once the light spread through the entire saber, the Extreme Heaven Saber would advance by a step from the illusory state in the past, infinitely close to a corporeal existence.
This scene caused the dozens of people in the surroundings to tremble. As shock appeared in their eyes, a heavenly saber similar to Xu Qingâs also appeared above the head of Saintly Star, who was meditating in the Dao Temple!
However, his heavenly saber was green while Xu Qingâs was purple!
Two heavenly sabers appeared one after another. This scene caused gasps to ring out in the surroundings. Many peopleâs eyes narrowed and their breathing became slightly hurried.
The arrival of Saintly Star had already shown this astonishing scene since many days ago and the others were already used to it, but they were shocked that Xu Qing was also so peerless.
This was because they knew that this scene meant that the two of them had comprehended the Extreme Heaven Saber before. Moreover, their comprehension was astonishing and they had the possibility of successfully comprehending the second saber strike.
âThis Xu Qing⌠is indeed the Seven Blood Eyesâ heavenâs chosen!â
âThe two of them are comprehending. And, from the looks of it, they are both materializing the saber moveâs illusory form. The moment the saber completely materializes will be the moment they succeed in comprehending.â
âIt depends on who succeeds first. Once one of them succeeds, no matter how much the other person comprehends, their efforts will instantly be wasted and lose all their comprehension.â
These dozens of people who had watched for so many days and understood the Extreme Heaven Dao Temple very well discussed in low voices, but they didnât dare to have any crooked thoughts at this moment.
This was because comprehending the Extreme Heaven Saber didnât mean that the person had lost their vigilance and killing power. If they dared to interfere, they would definitely die tragically on the spot.
In the eyes of everyone outside the Dao Temple, the heavenly sabers above Xu Qing and Saintly Starâs heads were emitting a resplendent light. Moreover, it seemed that the degree of materialization of Saintly Star was clearly greater. Now, it was at 50%.
As for Xu Qing, he arrived late and didnât have much time to comprehend. Right now, his saberâs materialization was less than 10%.
Xu Qing coldly looked at Saintly Star. Looking at speed of materialization, if this continued, he would definitely be faster than Saintly Star.
However, although the Extreme Heaven Saber was important, there were many Dao temples. Moreover, only by comprehending seven saber moves could it be considered an emperor-level cultivation art. Hence, to Xu Qing, success or failure in comprehending it didnât mean much..
He was considering whether he should make a move while the other party was comprehending.
âAlthough he has four balls of life fire and has at least six fires battle prowess⌠120 magic apertures have a huge weakness!â
During this period of time, Xu Qing had been fighting against the heavenâs chosens of the Seven Sects Alliance, and had studied those heavenâs chosens with 120 magic apertures.
âI should release more poison. Only then will the poisonâs might be much greater when it is activated.â Xu Qing fell silent and retracted his gaze as he decided to wait a little longer. Moreover, looking at the other partyâs comprehension speed, it was impossible for him to succeed in a few days.
âAlso⌠although those Dao Protectors of his arenât here, I still have to be on guard.â
When Xu Qing thought of this, he temporarily suppressed the killing intent in his mind.
The instant he suppressed his killing intent, Saintly Star turned his head and expressionlessly looked at Xu Qing outside the temple. When he saw the saber shadow above Xu Qingâs head, his gaze gradually turned cold, as though he was looking at a dead person.
âEven a chicken dares to compete with a phoenix for glory!â
He didnât plan to nurture it anymore. Since Xu Qing dared to fight with him for opportunities, he would just kill him and not waste so much time. After killing him, he could continue to comprehend.
As for the other partyâs Seven Blood Eyesâ Sequence identity, Saintly Star didnât care. This was because he had sensed the redness in the sky during the day. Coupled with some things he understood, he knew that⌠the Alliance had attacked the north.
Now, it was the prime time of the Alliance. The Seven Blood Eyes wouldnât dare to make a sound even if he killed a Sequence.
His personality was to follow his thoughts. Now that the killing intent in his mind had risen, he didnât hesitate at all. He suddenly stood up and took a step out of the temple.
The 120 magic apertures in his body burned like a giant stove, and the four balls of life fire in his body soared into the sky. His life lantern canopy emitted a rainbow light. Behind him, the green-bodied and red-tailed Miemeng let out a cry toward the sky.
The combat strength of six fires erupted at this moment. Its power was unstoppable and its aura suppressed the surroundings, causing the weather to change. It was as though countless lightning bolts were suddenly rumbling here.
The people outside the Dao Temple couldnât react at all. They didnât have the qualifications to see the speed of the six fires. Only Xu Qing suddenly lifted his head.
He also couldnât see the speed of six fires.
After all, the difference between the six fires and the five fires was like four fires suppressing three fires. The difference was too great!
However, the surroundings were filled with his poison and the little black bugs filled the barrier around Saintly Star. All of this allowed Xu Qing to instantly sense him.
