Chapter 12: Super Doubling
Clang!
The moment Qi Qingsi stepped into the Kunlun Sect ruins, every hair on her body stood on end as a terrifying aura of extinction swept over her, revealing a dreadful vision.
A single thread of sword light slashed down from a distant realm of time.
As the sword light traced through the void, everything within the Kunlun Sect abruptly froze. The souls, the very consciousness, of all within seemed forcibly extracted in an instant, leaving only hollow husks.
None within the Kunlun Sect survived.
Such was the work of a saint.
\"The Heart of Heaven is heartless, the saint is heartless, I shall also be heartless…\"
Qi Qingsi seemed lost in thought as she activated her profound technique. Her primordial spirit flew out of her Dao Palace, sensing the aura permeating the Kunlun Sect ruins, as if merging completely with heaven and earth.
She was using her primordial spirit to apprehend the saint’s divine ability.
Gradually, Qi Qingsi melded with this divine ability.
High above in the void, strands of divine patterns emerged, infinitely profound. A terrifying aura began to stir, vast and mysterious, completely devoid of emotion, like heavenly punishment descending.
More and more insights poured into Qi Qingsi’s mind from the saint’s divine ability.
Despite enduring millennia, the divine ability remained eternal.
Such was the power of a saint.
Within Qi Qingsi’s sea of consciousness, an image also manifested: an unnamed Daoist crowned with feathers and robed in stars, murmuring indistinct words as though preaching a doctrine.
The Supreme Forgetting Emotions chapter automatically initiated, bringing countless insights flooding in.
Boom!
Strand after strand of divine patterns flowed within Qi Qingsi’s physical body, saturated with an aura of extinction and indifference — as vast and emotionless as the heavens themselves.
These were the Supreme Laws.
Supreme forgetting emotions. Supreme indifference.
Qi Qingsi attained sudden enlightenment.
At this very moment, her mind was free of stray thoughts, as if she had become one with heaven and earth. Within her Dao Palace, her primordial spirit was also wreathed in divine light, swirling with patterns of law.
Qi Qingsi’s aura grew increasingly powerful.
Much like Qin Haishan, she too was undergoing transformation.
However, Qi Qingsi’s transformation was far more thorough.
She was spontaneously cultivating her way to godhood.
Qi Qingsi\’s foundation was incomparably profound, vastly exceeding Qin Haishan’s, vastly exceeding cultivators of her own level. This pivotal moment directly propelled her to celestial godhood.
The Kunlun Sect trembled violently. Structures crumbled one after another, turning into clouds of dust that swirled skyward.
The saint’s divine ability preserved for a millennium, the saint’s own power, surged into Qi Qingsi’s physical body, transforming into nourishment that spurred her rapid advancement.
Strands of divine patterns began etching onto Qi Qingsi’s bones.
The sun rose and the moon set, black birds flew and hares ran.
Nine days passed in the blink of an eye.
At Qin Haishan\’s location, accompanied by a long roar, Qin Haishan opened his eyes. Divine radiance flashed in his pupils with divine light hidden within, while intricate law patterns shimmered across them.
He had finally fully refined the Seven Star Heavenly Treasure Lotus. He was about to become a god.
All he needed was to survive the divine thunder tribulation, and he would become a new deity upon the Southern Wilderness.
“What’s causing that commotion?”
Just then, Qin Haishan finally noticed the disturbance at the Kunlun Sect ruins. All structures were collapsing, thick dust billowing and swirling, blocking his view.
His eyes brimmed with divine light, effortlessly piercing through the haze to glimpse a figure in green robes.
An instant later, Qin Haishan looked as if he’d seen a ghost.
“Qi Qingsi?!”
“Impossible! How could she appear in Kunlun Valley?”
Panic seized Qin Haishan instinctively.
He and Qi Qingsi shared a blood feud. Within the Tianxin Sect, with the sect master’s protection, she hadn’t dared to make a move against him.
But outside the sect, Qi Qingsi would never hesitate.
That’s why Qin Haishan had dispatched Du Jue to seize the Nine-Grade Golden Lotus while Qi Qingsi was severely injured, aiming to prevent her from dispelling her poison and healing.
“So what if she came? This old man has mastered the laws. The moment I survive the divine thunder tribulation, I become a god.”
Qin Haishan took a deep breath, reasoning through the situation, feeling utterly confident inside.
“Something feels wrong.”
Qin Haishan’s brows furrowed deeply. “This little woman… seems to be breaking through to godhood too?”
“How did she enter the Kunlun Sect ruins unscathed?”
Countless questions flooded Qin Haishan’s mind.
After much thought, only the Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion came to mind.
It had to be remembered that Ye Xian\’er was at the Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion.
She very likely told Qi Qingsi that he himself was in Kunlun Valley.
Qi Qingsi dreamt of killing him and would never let such an opportunity slip.
Even now, Qin Haishan hadn’t the slightest suspicion that Ye Xu had betrayed him.
After all, his path to godhood relied entirely on that senior’s help.
Why would the senior ever betray him?
Boom!
The sky, moments ago clear and cloudless, instantly erupted with lightning and thunder. A cloud of tribulation hundreds of miles wide manifested, violent winds shredding the boundless sea of clouds as the destructive aura of the heavenly tribulation enveloped the entire Kunlun Valley.
Qin Haishan immediately composed himself.
Right now, surviving the divine thunder tribulation was paramount.
If he could weather the divine thunder tribulation and become a god before her, Qi Qingsi would no longer pose a threat.
The only thing was, she couldn\’t be killed.
Qin Haishan hadn\’t forgotten the efforts the Tianxin Sect Master and Supreme Elder had invested in Qi Qingsi; if he killed Qi Qingsi, the Tianxin Sect wouldn\’t spare him.
Rumble!
The clouds of tribulation were still growing, and the heavenly tribulation was brewing continuously. A terrifying aura, as if threatening to destroy heaven and earth, made the void resemble a mirror that couldn\’t withstand the pressure, beginning to crack bit by bit.
Qin Haishan sensed something amiss.
He had seen divine thunder tribulations, but ordinary ones weren\’t remotely this terrifyingly powerful.
\"Could it be Qi Qingsi is also facing a tribulation to become a god?\" Qin Haishan turned his gaze toward Qi Qingsi.
Qi Qingsi also opened her eyes.
Their gazes met.
Qi Qingsi was icy cold; she just gave Qin Haishan a brief glance and then tilted her head upward to stare at the clouds of tribulation swelling to nearly three hundred miles.
Streaks of red lightning, like fierce dragons, roamed within the clouds of tribulation. The spiritual energy for a thousand miles around was sucked dry in moments, becoming nourishment for the heavenly tribulation.
\"Could it be that because two people are becoming gods simultaneously at the same place, it doubled the might of the heavenly tribulation?\" Qi Qingsi had the same thought.
If this were true, then the power of the tribulation divine thunder would be utterly dreadful.
The heavenly tribulation was greatly amplified; it wasn\’t a simple one plus one equals two.
One slip-up could prove fatal.
Swoosh!
Qi Qingsi summoned a second-tier divine weapon, which was a set of dragon-scale armor; with a thought, the divine weapon turned into a stream of light draping over her body.
Pieces of purple dragon scales surfaced across her skin, and faint dragon roars could be heard.
At the same time, Qi Qingsi produced two more divine weapons.
She lifted a four-sided grand seal in her right hand and held out a bronze umbrella in the other, all top-tier second-tier divine weapons.
In comparison, Qin Haishan appeared far shabbier.
He had almost handed his assets over to Ye Xu and could now only summon a suit of treasure armor, which was a second-tier divine weapon but much inferior to Qi Qingsi\’s purple dragon armor.
He also conjured a Three Legs ancient cauldron, its surface carved with stars, moons, mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, fish, and insects.
This was Qin Haishan\’s Life Treasure.
These two second-tier divine weapons were all of Qin Haishan\’s possessions.
Crack!
Up in the sky, an earth-shattering thunderclap erupted; for thousands of miles around, beasts cowered on the ground, trembling before the divine might.
The clouds of tribulation kept contracting, and the spiritual energy condensed violently. Divine patterns containing the laws of destruction coiled through the void, eventually merging into the divine thunder.
Qin Haishan\’s pupils tightened, and his heart prickled with fear.
Qi Qingsi merely furrowed her brows lightly.
She was fully prepared.
Boom!
Another thunderclap reverberated.
The first devastating divine thunder descended from the heavens.
This thunderbolt spanned a mile in diameter; as it plummeted down, the void was torn apart completely, and it seemed to split the world in two.
\"Go to hell, you damnable heavens!\" Qin Haishan yelled in fury.
Was this the heavenly tribulation for advancing to the Divine God realm?
It felt like a divine punishment!
