Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo
Chapter 487
“Ancestor, these remaining Xuanhuang Qi…” Ji Ziyue tugged at the corner of Jiang Han’s clothes, her lips moving slightly. Her purple skirt had been corroded by the chaotic energy, revealing the lightning tattoo on her calf, each of which was absorbing the remaining Xuanhuang Qi.
Jiang Han glanced around calmly, then looked at the group of cultivators below: “Since you have come in, it can be considered a destiny. How much Xuanhuang Qi you can absorb depends on the limit of your body’s endurance.”
“Thank you, ancestor!”
Thousands of monks knelt at the same time, the sound was deafening. The dragon-patterned tripod of the Holy Lord Yaoguang let out a dragon roar, and the nine bronze dragons that emerged from the tripod suddenly came to life, madly devouring the surrounding Xuanhuang Qi. The Hengyu Divine Furnace of the Patriarch of the Jiang Family spewed out nine red-gold flames, condensing into a huge vortex in the void.
“This mysterious and yellow energy actually contains the Dao traces of the Great Emperor!” Dense and dense magic patterns appeared on the surface of Tu Tian’s pottery jar, “The Taoist’s treasure is about to evolve!”
Rumbling–
The bronze palace shook violently again, and the green rust on the surface of the palace peeled off like a living thing, revealing the dark red blood-like lines underneath. These lines formed a huge hexagram array, and countless painful human faces emerged in the array, each of which was screaming silently.
“It will leave. In my opinion, you should first absorb as much of the mother energy of all things as possible, and when your body reaches its limit, you can refine it after leaving the hall.” Jiang Han said lightly. His voice resonated in the chaotic energy, forming an invisible barrier to protect Ye Fan, Ji Ziyue and Duan De.
Hearing this, all the cultivators looked at each other, their chakras lit up, and they began to absorb the Xuanhuang Qi around their bodies bit by bit. A golden pagoda emerged in the consciousness sea of the Holy Lord Yaoguang, and each layer was absorbing the Xuanhuang Qi; the chakra of the head of the Jiang family showed a strange phenomenon, and the phantom of the nine-headed phoenix was reborn in the Xuanhuang Qi; the colorful feathers of the Peacock King grew again, and each feather was absorbing the spatial force in the Xuanhuang Qi.
“My Lord Buddha!” Duan De suddenly shouted, his belly swollen like a small mountain, “How come these mother energies are more overbearing than my Lord Buddha’s relics!”
Ye Fan’s situation was even more bizarre. Deep in his sea of suffering, the Thunder Fruit was spinning wildly, and each thunder pattern was absorbing the Xuanhuang Qi. As the absorption continued, a layer of dark golden scales appeared on the surface of his skin, and each scale was emitting chaotic divine light. His eyes closed, and the image of the nine dragons pulling the coffin appeared in his sea of consciousness, and each dragon corpse was devouring the Xuanhuang Qi.
“Brother Ye Fan, what’s wrong with you?” Ji Ziyue asked worriedly.
Ye Fan did not answer. His body suddenly burst into dazzling golden light, and he was suspended in the air. His skin began to peel off, revealing the new skin underneath that was as crystal clear as jade. Between his eyebrows, a thunder mark slowly emerged, and the image of the nine dragons pulling the coffin could be vaguely seen in the mark.
“This is… the great emperor’s calamity!” Jiang Han said in surprise, “Ye Fan is going to become an emperor!”
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this, and they all moved away from Ye Fan. They had heard about the horror of the Great Emperor Tribulation. It was the only way to become an emperor, and it was also a test of life and death.
“What should we do?” Ji Ziyue asked anxiously.
“Don’t worry.” Jiang Han said in a deep voice, “He has my lightning pattern protecting him, plus the nourishment of Xuanhuang Qi, he should be able to survive the tribulation smoothly.”
At this moment, the Bronze Immortal Palace shook violently, and the palace body began to slowly rise into the air. Roaring sounds came from outside the palace, and countless ancient creatures struggled and roared in the chaotic air.
“Not good!” The Jiang family patriarch exclaimed, “The Bronze Immortal Palace is about to leave!”
“Quick!” Jiang Han shouted, “Everyone leave immediately!”
A group of cultivators turned into long rainbows and flew out of the hall, leaving only Ye Fan still undergoing the tribulation. Jiang Han deployed the Thunder Domain, protecting Ye Fan in it, and followed closely behind with Ji Ziyue and Duan De.
Outside the palace, the bronze immortal palace was suspended in the sky above the ancient forbidden land. The dark red lines on the surface of the palace began to flow, forming a huge hexagram array. Countless painful human faces appeared in the array, and each one was screaming silently.
“This is…” Ji Ziyue looked at those faces in horror, “These are the monks who were swallowed by the Bronze Immortal Palace!”
Jiang Han nodded and said in a deep voice: “The Bronze Immortal Palace appears once every three thousand years, devouring the life force of the cultivators to maintain its operation. This time I suppressed it, it is about to escape.”
At this moment, Ye Fan’s body suddenly burst into dazzling golden light, and a golden pagoda emerged in his sea of consciousness, and each layer was absorbing the Xuanhuang Qi. Countless golden lines appeared on the surface of the pagoda, and each of them was emitting the breath of an ancient seal.
“He has become an emperor!” Saint Yaoguang exclaimed, “Ye Fan has become an emperor!”
Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes, with chaotic divine light flashing in his eyes. A layer of dark golden scales appeared on the surface of his body, and each scale was emitting the power of destroying the world. Between his eyebrows, the image of nine dragons pulling a coffin appeared in the thunder mark, and each dragon corpse was devouring the chaotic energy.
“I became the emperor.” Ye Fan said softly, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.
Jiang Han nodded and smiled, “Congratulations, Ye Fan.”
“Thank you, Master.” Ye Fan said gratefully.
At this moment, the Bronze Immortal Palace suddenly roared, and the dark red lines on the surface of the palace began to flow, forming a huge hexagram array. Countless painful human faces appeared in the array, and each of them was screaming silently.
“Not good!” Jiang Han shouted, “The Bronze Immortal Palace is about to self-destruct!”
“Everyone get away immediately!” the head of the Jiang family exclaimed.
A group of cultivators turned into long rainbows and flew away. Jiang Han, along with Ye Fan, Ji Ziyue and Duan De, also evacuated quickly.
boom!
The Bronze Immortal Palace exploded with a loud bang, and a devastating shock wave swept across the entire battlefield. Wherever the shock wave passed, mountains collapsed, the earth collapsed, and even the ancient forbidden land was torn open with a huge crack.
“what–“
Screams rang out one after another, and many cultivators were hit by the shock wave and turned to ashes in an instant. Even the powerful and strong were not spared. The dragon-patterned tripod of the Yaoguang Saint was shattered by the shock wave, the Hengyu Divine Furnace of the Jiang Family Patriarch was blown away by the shock wave, and Tu Tian’s pottery jar was smashed to pieces by the shock wave.
Jiang Han deployed the Thunder Domain, protecting Ye Fan, Ji Ziyue and Duan De in it. Countless golden lines appeared on the surface of the Thunder Domain, and each line exuded the ancient seal aura. The shock wave hit the Thunder Domain, making a piercing whistle, but it was ultimately unable to break through.
“This is the price of becoming an emperor.” Jiang Han said in a deep voice, “The price of greed.”
“Then what about us…” Ye Fan asked.
“Let’s leave here.” Jiang Han said, “There is nothing we need here anymore.”
Everyone nodded and followed Jiang Han out of the Bronze Immortal Palace. Outside the palace, the sun was shining brightly, as if the bloody massacre had never happened. But the smell of rotting corpses in the air and the bloodstains on the ground told of the tragedy that had just happened. “Where are we going next?” Ji Ziyue asked.
Jiang Han looked towards the ancient forbidden land in the distance and said in a deep voice: “Go there, find the mother energy of all things, and unlock the seal of the Bronze Immortal Palace.”
“Okay, let’s go together.” Ye Fan said firmly.
Jiang Han nodded and led everyone towards the ancient forbidden land. Their figures gradually disappeared in the distance, leaving behind a messy battlefield and the exclamations of countless cultivators.
On the third day after the Bronze Immortal Palace disappeared, the spiritual energy at the edge of the ancient forbidden land condensed into mist like a substance. Ye Fan sat cross-legged on a bronze boulder, surrounded by chaotic air currents, each of which contained the essence of the beginning of the world. Deep in his sea of suffering, the small tripod made of Xuanhuang Qi was slowly rotating, and 365 star patterns appeared on the tripod, corresponding to the Zhoutian stars.
“Is this the power of the Mother Qi of All Things?” Duan De squatted beside Ye Fan, the vajra in his hand unconsciously striking sparks on the ground. His belly was swollen like a small mountain, and dark golden Mother Qi oozed out of every wrinkle. “The Buddha’s relics of the Taoist master were forced to hide in the sea of consciousness by this thing!”
Ji Ziyue stood under an ancient tree three meters away. Her purple skirt had been tempered by the chaotic energy and was not stained with dust. The jade pendant in her hair was glowing with colorful halos. The girl’s beautiful eyes stared at Ye Fan closely, with both envy and worry in her eyes: “Brother Ye Fan’s ancient holy body is really terrifying. He refined the Xuanhuang Qi of half of the Immortal Palace in three days.”
Bang!
A muffled sound came from Ye Fan’s body, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of his skin, each of which exuded dark golden mother energy. These mother energies condensed into chains in the air, tying him up like a dumpling. Suddenly, the chains exploded, and Ye Fan’s body burst into dazzling golden light, and the whole person was suspended in the air.
“I have become an emperor!” Jiang Han stood on the top of a mountain in the distance, with a trace of relief in his eyes. In his sea of consciousness, the prestige value of the system interface was jumping wildly:
14.999991→ 14.999992→ 14.999993
Finally, when Ye Fan’s feet touched the ground again, his prestige value exceeded 15. The system prompt sounded:
[Prestige value exceeds 15, unlocking the ultimate mission of Xuanhuang Continent: World Destruction Disaster. Reward: Chaos Blue Lotus (Remnant)]
“Chaos Blue Lotus.” Jiang Han muttered to himself. A broken blue lotus appeared in his palm, with chaotic air currents flowing on the petals. Although the lotus was broken, it still exuded the power to destroy the world.
“Ancestor, Brother Ye Fan…” Ji Ziyue asked worriedly.
Jiang Han shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, he is breaking through the Dao Palace realm. The ancient saint body is already against the heavens, and with the tempering of the Xuanhuang Qi, this breakthrough will definitely be earth-shattering.”
At this moment, Ye Fan’s body suddenly trembled violently, and a huge Taoist palace emerged in his sea of consciousness. The Taoist palace has five levels, and each level corresponds to the five internal organs of the human body. In the deepest part of the Taoist palace, Ye Fan saw a vague figure – that was his natal deity.
“Holy Fighting Technique!” Ye Fan exclaimed, and countless fighting techniques suddenly emerged in his sea of consciousness. These techniques were integrated into his instincts in a mysterious way, and each one contained earth-shaking power.
“This is the Dou character formula from the Nine Secrets!” Jiang Han said in amazement, “It seems that Jiang Taixu’s inheritance has found a new host.”
Thousands of miles away in the Divine City, the head of the Jiang family suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. His Hengyu Divine Furnace trembled violently, and the phoenix blood red gold lines on the furnace began to peel off. Beside the Dragon Transformation Pond in the Divine City, Jiang Taixu’s withered body suddenly burst into dazzling golden light, and Ye Fan’s figure emerged in his sea of consciousness.
“Finally found it,” Jiang Taixu muttered to himself, “Ancient Saint Body, Holy Fighting Method, it seems that the luck of my Jiang family has not yet been cut off.”
At this time, the Divine City has fallen into chaos. The major forces outside the Eastern Wasteland are gathering in secret, and they have only one goal – Jiang Taixu’s inheritance. At the edge of the Hualong Pond, the protectors of the Jiang family are holding extreme weapons and are ready for battle.
“Master, people from the Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom have sneaked in!” a Jiang family disciple reported hurriedly.
The Jiang family patriarch sneered, and the Hengyu Divine Furnace in his hand spewed out nine red-gold flames: “You’ve come just in time, let them see the power of the extreme weapon!”
Rumble!
The sky above the city of gods was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and nine Buddhist texts fell from the clouds. Each Buddhist text exuded a compassionate aura, but also contained the power to destroy the world. The Hengyu Divine Furnace of the Jiang family patriarch collided with it, bursting out a dazzling light.
“The Sutra of the Beginningless!” The head of the Jiang family exclaimed, “The Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom actually obtained the inheritance of the Emperor of the Beginningless!”
On the other side of the God City, Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with chaotic divine light, and every glance could penetrate the void. A layer of dark golden scales appeared on the surface of his body, and each scale exuded the power of destroying the world.
“Master, I…” Ye Fan was a little at a loss.
Jiang Han nodded and said, “No need to say, I know everything. Now, we should go to the City of Gods.”
“God’s City?” Ji Ziyue asked in surprise, “What are you going there for?”
“Jiang Taixu needs our help.” Jiang Han said in a deep voice, “Also, I sensed the aura of the Beginningless Sutra.”
At this moment, Duan De suddenly shouted: “Buddha of Dao Ye! There is something in Ye Fan’s cauldron!”
Everyone looked over and saw that Ye Fan’s small tripod suddenly trembled violently, and a skeleton emerged from the black mist that overflowed from the mouth of the tripod. The skeleton was covered with bronze armor, with a broken bronze sword hanging on its spine, and black mucus seeping out of every bone seam.
“This is…” Ye Fan said in surprise, “Emperor Wu Shi’s warrior!”
The skeleton suddenly opened its eyes, blood flashing in them. It raised its hand and slashed with a sword, and a stream of black sword energy instantly split the boulder in half.
“Be careful!” Jiang Han shouted, and his body instantly turned into a ray of lightning, protecting Ye Fan and others behind him.
The black sword energy hit the thunder region, making a sharp whistling sound. Countless golden lines appeared on the surface of the thunder region, and each line exuded the breath of an ancient seal.
“This skeleton has been contaminated by the Dao traces of the Great Emperor Wu Shi.” Jiang Han said in a deep voice, “It has become a corpse-reincarnated immortal.”
“Corpse Immortal?” Ji Ziyue asked in surprise, “Is it the legendary existence that transforms into an immortal after death?”
Jiang Han nodded and said, “That’s right. But this corpse has been contaminated by the aura of the Wu Shi Jing and has become a vicious corpse.”
At this moment, the skeleton suddenly shouted: “The Great Emperor Wu Shi has ordered that all those who covet the inheritance be killed!”
Its body suddenly expanded to a height of a hundred feet, and countless Buddhist texts appeared on the surface of its bronze armor. A bronze sword appeared in its hand, with dark golden lines flowing on the blade, each of which was absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. (End of this chapter)
