Chapter 656 I Offer My Blood to Xuanyuan
Chapter 656 I Offer My Blood to Xuanyuan
"Noble Phantasm, do you have any other ideas?"
Wu Wang's voice suddenly became calm.
Seeing this, the fortune teller opened his mouth as if to speak but then stopped, finally shaking his head and saying, "I'm sorry, the Venerable One's level is beyond human reach. We can help you avoid his sight, but we cannot directly influence the Venerable One."
"I cannot even see any vision of the future at this moment."
It's much easier to hide something than to take it from someone else.
That's the situation right now.
The fortune teller was able to use Wu Xiaoyou's "old" aura to cover up Wu Wang's "immortality" trait, essentially because it was just a concealment.
But now that Wu Xiaoyou has fallen into the hands of [Zhi Le], it is no longer something that humans can do to snatch her back from the Venerable One.
There is no human being capable of challenging the Venerable One.
Even the Azure Dragon needs to rely on an alliance with [Chaos] to succeed.
If it were just Azure Dragon alone, he probably wouldn't be able to protect anyone in front of the Venerable One.
This is the birth of a venerable one.
The future at this moment belongs to Him.
Even with his divine insight, the old fortune teller was at a loss when it came to predicting the future.
Hearing this, Wu Wang sighed and said, "What are you mumbling about? That means you've run out of ideas."
Having said that, he held the "People Leave, Tea Grows Cold" cup in both hands and said calmly, "Since that's the case, let's make a big bet."
"If we win the bet, not only will the [Immortal] not fall into the hands of the Venerable, but we might even have a chance to prevent the Venerable from completely invading the real world."
Seeing the props in his hand, the fortune teller's expression changed, and he subconsciously asked, "What if you lose the bet?"
Wu Wang glanced at the sky, which was now a riot of colors, and muttered to himself, "Then let everything go to hell with me. It can't get any worse now anyway. You don't think I'll feel guilty, do you?"
After saying this, he switched to Yan Shuangying's account.
Send a message to Qinglong, who hasn't replied to me in a long time and I don't know if he can even see this.
The gist of it was that he explained his "exile plan".
Furthermore, it was in a place where, due to unexpected circumstances, a glimmer of hope appeared.
That is—the Venerables did not intend to truly confront the alliance between the Azure Dragon and [Chaos] head-on.
What they, or rather the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord], were plotting was ultimately to make the equally confused [Supreme Bliss] make the wrong judgment.
In other words, before [Supreme Bliss] actually crashes into it, Azure Dragon doesn't need to worry about other Venerables testing the waters first.
They didn't want to lose even the slightest bit of power in front of the other venerable ones.
The unexpected reason is that the Laughing River Sword was possessed by the Second Sister, and the source of life can also be found there.
If Wu Wang had been wielding the Laughing River Sword, then [Supreme Joy] would probably have awakened quickly with the help of [Desire].
Because of the lack of this element of desire, the awakening of bliss is exceptionally slow and cannot be achieved overnight.
At least for now, the Second Sister's aura is only at the level of a Venerable's offspring.
There is still an insurmountable gap between one's descendants and a true venerable one!
In that case, perhaps we can let the Azure Dragon come down and first suppress the awakening of the [Supreme Bliss] state, which has not yet truly ascended to the Venerable level.
As long as Wu Xiaoyou is not ultimately taken away by [Supreme Joy], the barrier between the Azure Dragon and [Chaos] will remain solid, and the other Venerables will only return empty-handed this time.
Of course, Wu Wang could easily guess that once the Azure Dragon descended, regardless of whether [Zhile] was truly awake or not, he would likely crash into the Azure Dragon in an unaware state.
So the solution came full circle again.
We must use an instinct that makes [Supreme Joy] more easily driven than to cause trouble for the Azure Dragon to lure Him.
That is the characteristic of being "immortal"!
I have to drink this tea no matter what, but this time, after drinking it...
Wu Wang, unable to reveal his "immortality," immediately fled.
He has to stay in the real world.
Stopped under the gaze of all the venerable ones.
Those Venerable Ones beyond the heavens cannot, at this stage, directly and instantly abduct him from the real world.
So the only Venerable One who can pose a threat to me right now is [Supreme Bliss].
Only He was born directly from the real world and stands right in front of me at this very moment, without needing to pass through the barrier formed by the Azure Dragon and [Chaos] like other Venerable Ones.
Wu Wang gambled that Qinglong could separate himself from Wu Xiaoyou and Xiaochuan Sword before [Zhi Le] could capture him.
It is still just a seed! Just like the "Seed of Despair" before! There must still be a way to temporarily get rid of it!
If Qinglong can realize this, he will definitely do everything he can to help!
After all, resolving the issue of "Supreme Bliss" is tantamount to indirectly resolving the crisis of the Venerable's invasion.
This will be a gamble that puts the fate of the world at stake.
Wu Wang didn't know what [Supreme Bliss] would do if he were captured first, but since [Immortality] could make all the Venerables flock to it, [Supreme Bliss], who obtained [Immortality], might leap from the weakest Venerable at this stage to an existence that surpasses the other Venerables.
At that time, He will even have the ability to eliminate suffering, making it the sole law that all living beings must abide by.
Not only the real world, but probably countless dungeon worlds will also be unable to escape this calamity.
That is why Wu did not tell Qinglong about the "Exile Plan" or seek his opinion before his death.
He knew the other party would definitely not agree to such an absurd plan, after all, it was too risky to completely expose [Undying] to the Venerable One.
Unfortunately, the time has come to take this step.
"Second sister, let's play a game of tag."
After sending the message, Wu Wang watched as Wu Xiaoyou's aura continued to rise, far exceeding the level of the crying monster's gaze.
He no longer cared whether Qinglong had seen the message or had come up with a solution.
The other party still did not respond to him.
Now, it's time to drink tea.
If she doesn't drink it now, it will be too late once the "Old Days" in Wu Xiaoyou's body are completely drained.
Goodbye, this shitty world.
Wu Wang looked up and raised the inscription: "When people leave, the tea grows cold."
Pour the steaming hot tea into your mouth.
He really hates this feeling.
This feeling of being completely out of control, truly relying on luck to gamble.
This was also the first time Wu Wang faced the gamble he had decided to begin.
He no longer had a sure chance of winning.
Will it win?
Hopefully...
hum-
Just as the tea was about to touch his lips, time seemed to stand still.
The splashes of water on the sea surface stopped in mid-air, and the image of the bird flapping its wings and Wu Xiaoyou spreading her wings became a frozen moment, while the fortune teller's hand, which was gripping the whisk, froze...
Only the vibrant colors in the sky continued to flow.
call--
A powerful arm reached out from the void, steadily picked up the head cup of "The Tea Grows Cold After the Person Leaves," and put all the poured tea back in.
He casually placed the "People Leave, Tea Grows Cold" in Wu Wang's hand.
At that very moment, time seemed to flow again around Wu Wang, allowing him to see clearly who was standing before him.
"Isn't it a bit too hasty to take this step now?"
Is there really nothing in the real world worth cherishing?
Looking at the other person's face, which wasn't particularly handsome and even had a slightly messy beard, he gave off the impression of a reliable, mature man.
Wu Wang had never looked forward to the appearance of any one person so much.
He spoke almost at top speed: "Master Long! You've finally arrived! You saw the message I sent you earlier, right? Let's hurry and take advantage of the fact that [Supreme Joy] hasn't fully..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qinglong's heavy, powerful hand slapped Wu Wang on the shoulder, interrupting his rapid, incantation-like speech.
Seeing his puzzled look, Qinglong raised his head and glanced at Wu Xiaoyou, whose pink leaf wings had been unfurled.
She hung in mid-air like a deity descended to earth.
Qinglong sighed, "I know what you're thinking. But unfortunately, with this level of awakening, no one can remove the [Supreme Bliss] from her."
"The seed in the soul of the Ruthless Immortal was also planted by the Venerable One himself. Even I couldn't see any clues before it erupted, let alone remove it."
"The Desire Sea Spirit Lord's move was brilliant, so brilliant that humans had no power to fight back."
These words immediately filled Wu Wang with a strong sense of powerlessness.
Even Qinglong is helpless?
Now all we can do is watch helplessly as [Supreme Bliss] gradually awakens, then breaks through the final barrier, allowing other Venerables to do whatever they want in the real world?
If the eldest and second eldest sisters were to die.
Wu Wang didn't know if he still had the courage to drink the "People Leave, Tea Grows Cold" potion and carry out the exile plan to save the world.
No, actually I never intended to save the real world from the very beginning.
I am not that great.
The people I've always wanted to save are my cherished family members.
They were saved simply because they lived in this world.
Unfortunately, it seems that things have already...
Wu Wang's head was buzzing and he felt dizzy. He barely managed to keep himself from collapsing and gritted his teeth, saying:
"Really... not even the slightest chance?"
"Lord Dragon, think of another way. What I have is what they covet. They will definitely give up everything for it. Just use [Immortality] as bait..."
Just then, Qinglong revealed a smile that inexplicably reassured everyone, as if a kind elder were giving earnest advice to someone on the back of their head:
"Child, I've said it before—"
"Even if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up first."
"Since you're willing to take a gamble, why don't you let this tall old fellow like me try first?"
Wu Wang did not understand what Qinglong said.
The other party seemed to have other ideas.
But the situation has deteriorated to this extent. Is there any other way to salvage it?
Before he could react, Qinglong walked out.
hum-
He lifted his foot and stepped into the void.
There was nothing beneath my feet, but the moment I stepped on it, the air seemed to solidify.
A ripple spread out from the soles of his feet, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake. Tiny specks of light and crimson appeared in the air where the ripple passed, then quickly faded and disappeared.
At this moment, there was only silence between heaven and earth.
Even the colors in the sky, mingled and torn together, seemed to pause, as if observing the changes taking place in this corner of the world.
Click—
The Azure Dragon's body made a faint sound during this step, like the first crack appearing on porcelain.
That wasn't the sound of bones breaking, but something more fundamental shattering.
"Master Long, what do you want to do..."
"Didn't you just say that no one could do that..."
Wu had a vague premonition about his demise—
You may be witnessing an absurdly crazy act.
Qinglong laughed without turning around, "Yes, it's impossible for humans, but perhaps it's possible for fellow Venerables."
"Wu Wang, watch closely. The step I'm about to take may be something you'll experience in the future."
“This is not a law derived from them, but a law belonging to me, the Azure Dragon. I have named it [Dawn].
"I want to become a venerable being who should not exist outside of the known laws."
"As long as I can step onto it, even for just a moment, I can create a bright future for humanity that should not exist."
"We don't need a child like you, who is still growing, to make sacrifices today..."
"I come."
Having said that, the Azure Dragon moved forward again.
When the second step landed, a cloud of blood mist exploded from both shoulders.
There was no warning, no pain whatsoever.
No, it wasn't that there was no pain, but rather that after the pain reached its extreme, his body had given up on sending signals. His blood mist condensed in the air and transformed into a crimson flower, which bloomed for a moment and then withered away. Even the life force within his body was visibly draining away.
His thick, jet-black hair turned pale in the blink of an eye.
The Venerable One is a higher-dimensional being born from the laws.
They represent a kind of law, a level that living beings cannot reach.
This is a fact that no living being can change.
However, today, a tiny human being has decided to launch a fearless assault on the established laws.
From any perspective, this is an extremely ignorant and absurd act, no less foolish than a moth drawn to a flame.
But at this moment, this person's eyes were filled with unwavering conviction, making one subconsciously want to expect his success.
call out--
In this still scene, a beam of pale blue light came from afar, its edges shimmering with bronze light.
At first glance, it looked like a witch with tears streaming down her face was riding on a staff of order, followed by a scholar-like fellow with a complicated expression.
The Ash Witch and Qin Shusheng have arrived!
The two of them noticed it the moment the Azure Dragon fell from the sky.
"Bastard! Chen Xi, you bastard!" the witch shouted hoarsely.
"Back then, when we went to suppress the abyss, it was the same... and now, facing the invasion of the Venerable Ones, it's the same..."
"You won't tell me anything! You have to face everything alone!"
"You're not a god! You can't do everything!"
Looking at the pale-haired blue dragon in the distance, its familiar yet unfamiliar appearance filled the witch's eyes with heartache and fear.
What is she afraid of?
She was afraid that the other person would really become a moth drawn to a flame, never to return.
Although Qin Shusheng did not say a word, his worry could still be seen from his expression.
They all realized what Qinglong was planning to do.
But this is something that absolutely cannot succeed!
Living beings cannot reach the level of a Venerable One!
This is a rule that even if the heavens and earth were turned upside down, it could not be changed!
They had considered that Qinglong might hold out the fortress until the very last moment, or even die in the process of resisting the Venerable One's invasion.
But they never imagined that the other party was even crazier than they had imagined!
Seeing the two figures rushing towards him from afar, Qinglong paused slightly in his steps.
He asked softly, "Scholar Qin, let me test you. What is my favorite poem?"
"If you guessed right, I can answer what you've always wanted to know—what exactly my talent is."
These words plunged everyone into a deathly silence.
Qin Shusheng's eyes were slightly red, and traces of blood trickled from between his clenched fists.
Of course he knew; he always had.
Without almost any thought, he spoke, word by word:
"The mind has no way to escape the divine arrow..."
"The wind and rain are like a dark cloud over my old home..."
"His intentions, like cold stars, went unnoticed..."
At this point, Qinglong smiled slightly and added the last sentence for him:
"I offer my blood to Xuanyuan."
Then he looked up to the sky and roared, saying in a tone of pride bordering on arrogance:
"You self-proclaimed gods in the heavens! Listen up!"
"I, Chen Xi, do not derive my talent from the laws of any of you Venerable Ones; it originates solely from myself! It is a human talent!"
"It's called [Limitless]!" (End of Chapter)
