Chapter 836 (1/2)

After listening to Zhou Weiqing’s words, Hui Yao and Duo Si’s eyes gradually turned red. Fierce and murderous intent oozed out from their bodies. At Zhou Weiqing’s inquiry, they finally told the story that took place after they went their separate ways.

It turned out that after Hui Yao and his wife went their separate ways from Zhou Weiqing, they proceeded to look for their children. Relying on the connections of their bloodline, they finally found the Blood Red Hell. Just in time, they saw their children being used as the blood sacrifice for the Nether Lord that was presided by Fen Tian.

Naturally, Hui Yao and his wife went crazy upon seeing this. However, the Nether Lord’s Destruction Energy materialized once again at that moment. Under Fen Tian’s control, it managed to inflict great harm on the two of them. With the help of the power from their children’s blood sacrifice, they took the opportunity while Hui Yao and his wife were in a confused state of mind as they went berserk and enslaved them using the Destruction Energy. It was not until this moment that they finally regained their consciousness.

Duo Si went to stand beside Hui Yao. The two dragons snuggled with each other with their necks touching as Duo Si burst into tears. After all, anybody would be sad losing their children.

At this moment, a peculiar wave of energy suddenly caused the entire realm to quake. It caused everyone to stay vigilant on their feet.

Not only did the air quiver, the ground below quaked as well. A wave of Destruction Aura blasted out from the middle of the abyss. Even though it was not particularly strong, the sense of Destruction aura in it was more than enough to elicit horrors on their faces. The sky that had just lit up seemed to have dimmed down a little as well.

The Elven Empress quickly urged, “Weiqing, hurry! Absorb Fen Tian’s Heavenly Nucleus Core! We must really go now! It must be the Nether Lord smashing the seal. It seems like the seal can no longer hold him off!”

Zhou Weiqing did not dare to waste any time. As he activated his Astral Divine Territory, Fen Tian’s Heavenly Nucleus Core transformed into a stream of light and flowed into the Astral Divine Territory. Thousands and thousands of stars instantly shined brightly at the same time as it gave feedback to his body and increased his cultivation base sharply.

The Elven Empress did not stay idle either. She crossed her legs in midair and restored her Life Energy that was used up previously. In a sense, sealing the Nether Lord would be their true final battle.

As Zhou Weiqing bathed in the pure starlight, circles of halos started to form around his Saint God Nucleus Core. Even his skin began to show signs of ripples as the Saint Energy continued to refine and purify in the midst of the elevation of his cultivation base. However, just like what the Elven Empress had said, he noticed that even if he cast the Star Feedback on a powerful Destruction Heavenly Nucleus Core like Fen Tian’s, it would still be impossible for him to touch the threshold of the level that Fen Tian used to have half his foot in previously.

As it turned out, having Saint Energy prevented one from entering the Heavenly Change Tier. Rather contradictorily, the creation characteristics in Saint Energy would confine and limit one’s future.

If the Heavenly Change Tier would allow one to become God, then he would never become a god.

It did not matter much to Zhou Weiqing if he became a god or not. However, if he could not break through this barrier, how could he face the Nether Lord if he managed to break open the seal? How could he protect his family, friends, or the entire world if he could not kill him?

Even though Zhou Weiqing was not particularly enthusiastic about power, he had always been a person with a strong desire to control. This was a situation that he liked the least where it was completely out of his control, and he had to rely on luck instead. However, at this moment, he had done everything that he could have done. He worked hard to improve his cultivation base, and every time he improved slightly, luck would naturally be a step closer to him

The Astral Divine Territory did not expand outwards with the elevation of his cultivation base. Instead, it engulfed Zhou Weiqing entirely and made it seem like multiple stars that could emit Saint Energy was embedded in his Ringless Ground Purging Set. The Saint Energy that became increasingly pure effectively suppressed the Destruction Energy that was rising from beneath the abyss.

Little by little, the starlight converged. The Astral Feedback’s energy had completely integrated with Zhou Weiqing’s body. Fen Tian’s Destruction Heavenly Nucleus Core was indeed powerful. As the saying went, when things were at their worst, they began to mend. The Nebula Saint Energy that was obtained from the Feedback did not deplete as much compared to the Star Feedback of other ordinary Heavenly Jewel Master’s Heavenly Nucleus Core. Zhou Weiqing’s cultivation base was greatly raised all the way up to the Maximum Level of the Heavenly God Tier from the Middle Level, and there was even some Saint Energy left. However, this leftover Saint Energy could only ultimately make his Saint Energy more abundant, it could not help him with another breakthrough.

The Star Feedback’s light dimmed down but the starlight on Zhou Weiqing’s Ringless Ground Purging Set did not disappear accordingly. Instead, it became even clearer. Stars shone brilliantly on the white armor as if the luster that was full of Saint Energy would easily spill out from any parts of his body with just a simple thought from him.

Zhou Weiqing looked at the Elven Empress. She was still sitting cross-legged in the void as circles of life halos spread out and converged ceaselessly.

“Weiqing, I’ll go with you,” Dongfang Hanyue’s chilly voice sounded in the air. She rode the Blackfiend dragon, and in no time at all, she had arrived in front of Zhou Weiqing.

“We’ll go as well!” The three Shangguan sisters and the Little Witch quickly rushed over, too!

Tears began to well in Zhou Weiqing’s eyes when he saw the eagerness and determination in the girls’ eyes.

“Silly, what are you guys going there for? It’s not like you have the Saint Energy. If we really could deal with this problem through the mere accumulations of all our cultivation bases, then the Nether Lord would not have been able to live this long. Don’t worry, we’ll be fine! We’re just going there to reinforce the seal. We’ll definitely come back in no time at all.”

Shangguan Bing’er was a little beside herself, “So… what if the Nether Lord breaks the seal?”
