Chapter 495: Looting The Origin Of The World
In the chaos and emptiness.
"...... Senior Sister, something has happened inside the Grotto-Heaven Great World!"
In the Grotto-Heaven, wearing a golden dress, the beautiful and glamorous Emperor Qiuwu came in nervously to report, immediately capturing the attention of Meng Xuan, who was in the midst of settling accounts.
"What exactly happened?"
This beautiful woman with icy skin and jade bones raised her head in surprise and asked.
"You should come and see for yourself, it's a complete mess!"
Emperor Qiuwu's voice trembled slightly, as she had never seen such an exaggerated scene before.
Meng Xuan dropped the jade scroll in her hand in confusion, grabbed Emperor Qiuwu, and turned into a streak of light, leaving the Cave Mansion.
The Grotto-Heaven Great World hung quietly in the chaos and emptiness, like a bright blue giant sun. However, at this moment, there were obvious changes on the surface of this giant sun.
Pitch-black clouds as dark as ink rolled in from an unknown place, quickly covering the vast sky, leaving no corner untouched. From a distance, it looked as if a terrifying black sun had appeared in the chaos and emptiness.
With Meng Xuan's cultivation level, she could naturally see how abnormal the black clouds that covered the entire Great World were. The dense ominous aura could be clearly felt even from such a distant distance.
"... What is this celestial phenomenon? Could there be a catastrophic event that affects the entire world? How could this happen?"
Fish Xiyuan, who had heard the news, exclaimed in surprise. Immediately after, more than thirty young men and women appeared one after another, their expressions confused and shocked.
Thousands of powerful auras emerged from various corners of the world, rushing towards a certain place in a hurry, and the urgent alarm bells never stopped.
"... Look at their appearance, it's as if someone has dug up their ancestors' graves!"
The handsome white-robed scholar with an oily face and a good appearance shook his fan and said with a smile.
People naturally enjoy watching a spectacle, especially when something big happens to their arch-enemies.
After scrutinizing for a while, Meng Xuan's mind suddenly flashed, and she reacted abruptly, exclaiming, "I understand, most likely there are intruders who secretly entered, attempting to steal their world's origin!"
"???"
Fish Xiyuan couldn't help but be stunned, unable to hide her shock in her beautiful eyes. "So that's the reason? Then, wouldn't..."
She subconsciously glanced at Emperor Qiuwu, and the shock in her heart was beyond words. The Grotto-Heaven Great World was known for its dominance and aggression. They had always been the ones plundering others. Now, someone had the audacity to invade their stronghold?
"Evil deeds will always have consequences. Today's events are the calamity of the Grotto-Heaven Great World!"
The beautiful Buddhist female cultivator, who had a stunning appearance, caressed her prayer beads and said softly.
"That's right, evil people will eventually face their own retribution. They have been arrogant and domineering for so many years, and now they should pay the price they deserve!"
A black-clothed young man with a determined gaze and calm expression spoke, and everyone nodded in agreement, their expressions filled with joy.
However, Meng Xuan was somewhat puzzled at this moment. As a woman, her keen intuition led her to associate the departure of Qin Muling and his group with the sudden upheaval in the Grotto-Heaven Great World. Something seemed off.
Could it be... the commotion caused by Qin Muling?
For a moment, even Meng Xuan herself was startled by this terrifying thought. That guy only brought a group of women with him, yet he dared to dig up the foundation of a Great World? It was truly beyond audacious!
So, what kind of confidence and reliance did he have to dare to do something that was almost suicidal?
Deeply staring at the terrifying black sun, Meng Xuan turned her head and said to her companions:
"Everyone, prepare as quickly as possible. Even if Kong Qing Great World doesn't perish this time, decline and decay are inevitable. In the upcoming battle to divide the world heritage, we must gain the upper hand!"
"Yes, Senior Sister Meng!"
Yu Xi Yuan, Autumn Wutu Emperor, and the other young men and women eagerly agreed and went to prepare separately.
At the same time, the various forces that remained in the vicinity of Kong Qing Great World in the void began to take action, like a pack of wolves about to hunt, eagerly watching.
...
In the depths of the earth, in that magical and beautiful space, colorful smoke and mist enveloped, shining brightly.
"...Junior Brother, you can do whatever you need to do. We will be responsible for dealing with the enemies outside!"
Monster Emperor Linghu Xuelan, fully armed, held a flag of the Heavenly Demon Formation and said solemnly.
The remaining eleven flags were each held by a senior sister. They were Emperor Xin Yu, Emperor Feng Ge, Emperor Tian Xia, Grand Palace Master Zi Shiyun, Tranquil Brahma Heavenly Maiden, Emperor Qing Huan, Hua Xi Emperor, Liuying Zixi, Liuying Qingxuan, Miao Xin Buddha Lord, and Bing Yuan Emperor. They were all top experts in the Three Corpses Unified Harmony realm.
Beside each flag, there were more than twenty senior sisters who had completely severed their Three Corpses Incarnation, responsible for protection to prevent external threats to the senior sisters who were in charge of operating the formation.
With these twelve senior sisters jointly presiding over the Twelve Heavenly Demon Formation, and with the protection of multiple Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures, it is believed that no matter how many powerful enemies come, they will not be able to break through the blockade of the formation in a short period of time.
Yue Xing Ning, Linghu Qingya, and the other women were guarding Qin Muling, and they all had Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures. With their strong abilities, ensuring Qin Muling's safety should not be a problem.
"Why is it so troublesome to extract this thing?"
Qin Muling frowned and muttered. The nature of the world source in this beautiful ocean was extremely unique. It was sticky and delicate, like high-density spirit gold, but it could flow like liquid. Even a slight strand weighed more than ancient stars, and ordinary spatial Law Weapons could not contain it.
Only the space inside the Azure Lotus Shadow could be easily collected, but the speed was not fast. It was far from Qin Muling's expectations. He thought he could finish it all in just a few breaths.
In the time of a breath, he could only collect the world source with a diameter of thousands of miles. Even if Qin Muling dived into the depths of the ocean and increased the collection intensity, the effect was still unsatisfactory.
"Junior Brother, this thing is just difficult to handle like this," Linghu Xuelan said. "When those guys plunder other worlds, they use Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure-level spatial Law Weapons to extract and transport bit by bit. It often takes more than ten years or even decades to completely empty the source of a Great World. Your speed is already impressive!"
"Is that so?"
Qin Muling frowned and weighed his options for a moment. He was still maintaining the cultivation state of Three Corpses Unified Harmony, and even transporting it was so difficult. He couldn't ask for too much in such an urgent situation, he could only face reality.
"We will use up more than half of our lifespan to resist and buy you a day and night. It shouldn't be too difficult to temporarily withstand the crazy siege of thousands of strong individuals from a Great World with the Twelve Heavenly Demon Formation," Tranquil Brahma Heavenly Maiden said in a deep voice.
"Alright, I'll do my best. Whatever I can take away, I will take away."
Qin Muling said, without asking the senior sisters for help. Their efficiency would only be lower, and there were not so many Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure-level spatial Law Weapons available.
After thinking for a while, he released two beautiful women from the space within his body.
One of them was a high and cold ice queen with slender and round jade legs. She was once the spirit of the Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure, the Shadowy Nebula Map, and the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao will of the Shadowy Great World back then. Later, she voluntarily followed Qin Muling and was named Qin Yu Shuang.
The other incarnation of the Heavenly Dao will was a stunning little loli brought back from the auction. Her figure had ups and downs, and she was extremely enchanting. She was named Qin Yu Ying by Qin Muling.
"What instructions do you have, Senior Brother?"
The melodious and sweet voice of a delicate warbler resounded, as two great wills of the heavens elegantly bowed and greeted each other.
"You two need the restoration of the world's origin, right? These should satisfy your requirements, right?" Qin Muling also didn't beat around the bush and straightforwardly said.
The two women looked at each other, unable to hide their joy in their starry eyes. "That's great! There are actually so many world origins here? This is essential nourishment for our restoration and growth!"
"Well, since you can make use of them, then go ahead and collect them to your heart's content!" Qin Muling said. She herself probably couldn't move all the world origins here, so it was good to let them take some to restore themselves as well.
There was nothing more enjoyable than using someone else's resources to restore one's own partner.
Qin Yushuang and Qin Yuying happily agreed and turned into two streams of light, rushing into the ocean of origin, eager to feast.
Soon, three whirlpools appeared on the surface of the sea. The large one was naturally the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, and the two small ones were the incarnations of the two heavenly wills.
"...Who dares to steal the foundation of this realm?!" Three quarters of an hour later, a furious roar came from afar, and the high-level figures of Kong Qing Great World finally arrived.
The dangers and array restrictions along the way, even with the corresponding permissions, would take some time to open according to the normal process, which was simply too slow.
Moreover, in the past, the big shots at the top never expected that there would be someone with a means to silently infiltrate such a crucial place. Therefore, there was no emergency plan in the opening process of the array restrictions. As a result, it took a full three quarters of an hour for the reinforcements to arrive.
"...Fellow Daoists, you're a bit late!" A faint laughter sounded, and a black cloud with a diameter of billions of miles enveloped the entire ocean of world origins. The surface of the cloud was shining with a faint light, and the colorless flames emitted terrifying high temperatures, blocking the way of many powerful beings.
"Damn it! Who is it? Who is the bastard who did this?" The leaders of the group shouted angrily, their faces turning pale. They had vaguely sensed that a significant amount of world origins had been lost, causing them great pain.
The world origins were the foundation and lifeblood of the entire Great World. The quantity and quality of the origins directly determined the level and growth potential of the entire Great World. The generation of even a trace of world origin required long years of accumulation and the sacrifice of numerous rare nourishments.
Of course, directly plundering and extracting the luck and origins of other large and small worlds and bringing them back here could also promote the rapid growth and expansion of this world. The high-level figures of Kong Qing Great World had done countless such things, but when they encountered the same situation themselves, it was far from wonderful.
"Boom!" Unable to contain their impatience, some of the big shots immediately launched attacks using their own Spiritual Treasures, followed by the others around them.
In an instant, rolling deep purple thunder appeared out of thin air, converging into an ocean of thunder that spanned billions of miles, filling the void with a suffocating aura of destruction.
Then, tens of thousands of towering and robust golden-armored heavenly gods, each thousands of miles tall, were summoned. They wielded their weapons fiercely and launched a storm-like assault on the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.
In the trembling void, various thunder and fire, high-temperature lava rivers, burning ancient demon dragons and meteorites, and countless destructive sword auras descended one after another.
At this moment, the powerful beings of this world were truly anxious. Numerous immensely powerful Divine Abilities and secret techniques were unleashed without hesitation, accompanied by a large number of Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures.
However, this unprecedentedly dense attack, when it landed on the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, did not achieve the desired results. It only caused ripples and waves on the surface of the enormous black sphere, still far from complete collapse.
Inside the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, Linghu Xuelan, and the Grand Palace Master Zi Shiyun were all shining with brilliance, giving it their all.
They all understood that this was a critical moment and couldn't afford to be the slightest bit lax. Otherwise, once the formation collapsed, everyone present would be in great danger, and even their junior brother would be taken away by the other side.
As for relying on negotiations to buy time, that was out of the question. There was no room for reconciliation in this fundamental conflict of interests. Both sides were destined to fight to the death!
Qin Muling at this moment had no time to consider the situation outside, exerting all her efforts to collect the origin of the world. With each breath, an essence equivalent to the volume of a sphere with a diameter of thousands of miles would be collected into the space within the Azure Lotus phantom.
On the other hand, Qin Yushuang and Qin Yuying's speed was much slower, with an extraction efficiency of only about one-tenth of Qin Muling's. However, as a large amount of world origin entered their bodies, their aura began to rapidly increase.
At this moment, the Good Fortune Azure Lotus phantom became even more solid, enveloped in a purple glow that extended for hundreds of miles. Above it, a nine-layered purple cloud canopy hung, accompanied by various phenomena such as countless golden lotuses, boundless galaxies, and the opening of heaven and earth, appearing and disappearing.
After some contemplation, Qin Muling decided to divide the collected world origin into several portions. Half of it would be provided to the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus to help it grow better and faster.
Of the remaining half, sixty percent could be taken back and integrated with the core of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the Integrated Union. This would significantly enhance the endowment and development potential of the entire world, allowing it to complete the evolution and transformation of the first rank faster.
As for the last portion, Qin Muling decided to keep it temporarily for future use. For example, she could give it to her favorite senior sisters or use it to repair a damaged Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure, or even increase the quantity of Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions to enhance their quality and power.
Outside the Twelve Heavenly Demon Formation, hurricanes howled, the heavens and earth crumbled, and chaotic storms of turbulent space mixed with high-temperature fire clouds adhered to the surface of the dark clouds, creating a nightmarish purgatory-like scene.
After relentlessly attacking for several hours, the formation remained as solid as a rock, showing no signs of collapse. Under normal circumstances, it seemed that it would continue like this for several days and nights.
Normally, the big shots were not lacking in patience. The battles between top powerhouses often lasted for decades or even hundreds of years. But now, they really couldn't afford to slowly consume their strength.
"...This won't work!"
The head of the Saint Orchid Valley, Supreme, gritted his teeth. He was now on the verge of exhaustion, as the curse of luck had already tormented him to the point of exhaustion. Just now, he had also exhausted his spiritual energy in a desperate attack, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"What else can we do now?"
Another important figure said coldly. Although he couldn't see the situation inside the formation, he instinctively felt that the unidentified enemy inside was brewing something extraordinary.
The Emperor of the Twilight Divine Dynasty hesitated and said, "The nature of this world's origin is unique and not easy to extract and transport. They are now trapped inside. As long as we continue to besiege them, there will eventually be a moment when we can deal with them, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty is right. That's the way to go!"
Several important figures nearby immediately expressed their agreement. It seemed that apart from this, they couldn't think of a more suitable way to deal with the enemies inside.
After a pause, someone suddenly said, "We have quite a lot of support forces here. The defense outside must be very weak, right? If those guys try to take advantage of the situation, won't we..."
The expressions of the important figures changed slightly, and they immediately understood. Those guys in the chaotic void, who were no different from a pack of wild dogs, had been lurking in this world for more than just a few days. Who knew if they would take advantage of the situation now?
The situation was urgent before, so many high-level immortals above the Quasi-Saint Emperor level had rushed over. It was inevitable that the defense outside would be weak.
"Never mind, we don't need too many people here for now. Let's send thirty percent of our forces outside to guard. If they dare to launch a sneak attack, we'll give them an unforgettable lesson!"
After a brief discussion among the important figures, they quickly reached a unanimous decision.
Anyway, the enemies in this formation were trapped and couldn't escape.
Under the orders of the leaders of the eleven Transcendent Level forces, hundreds of thousands of high-level immortals left the depths of the underground and returned outside to guard and patrol the important areas of the defense line.
Time passed hour after hour, and the sisters in charge of the Twelve Heavenly Demon Formation were starting to struggle.
Although this Chaos Void First Killing Formation was powerful, it was still difficult to imagine the pressure of defending against so many Apex Level powerhouses outside for a long time.
"Young Junior Brother, are you feeling better?"
Linghu Xuelan's face was pale, and her spiritual energy was already depleted. Even though her sisters kept transferring their own spiritual energy and magical power to her, it couldn't make up for the terrifying consumption.
Tranquil Brahma Heavenly Maiden, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, and the others were in a similar situation. It seemed that in another hour or two, they would be unable to continue.
Qin Muling stopped extracting the origin and freed up his hands. Over a hundred purple light columns, each several zhang thick and containing an unimaginable aura of Good Fortune, descended from the sky and enveloped the figures of the sisters.
Within a few breaths, everyone had returned to their peak state.
