500: The Art of Nirvana

The Five Gods Duel, finals.

Human Race Kindling Lin Wanqing versus Demon Race Yu Jia.

Yu Jia said in a deep voice, "Lin Wanqing, I know you are the Human Race Kindling, and your combat power is definitely far beyond that of an ordinary Two-Star Martial Saint. Although our Realms are the same, I will absolutely not be your opponent."

Lin Wanqing chuckled, "Then we still have to go through the motions! Let me beat you half to death, and then you surrender. Otherwise, the Demon Race Army behind you won't let you off!"

Yu Jia shook his head, "It's no use. Senior Sister Ning has already said that if I fail to win this match, I don't need to go back. So, I'm going to fight with my life on the line!"

With that, he took out the heavenly demon heart and actively sacrificed himself.

The heavenly demon heart frantically absorbed Yu Jia's demonic Qi and life force until he was completely drained, leaving him with only a single breath.

Then, a massive demonic Qi vortex condensed in the air and pressed down towards Lin Wanqing.

The power of this demonic Qi vortex was already comparable to a full-force attack from a Five-Star Martial Saint, not much weaker than Li Shang's strength.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing frowned deeply.

The Human Race absolutely could not lose Demon-Rejecting Pass. Since this Yu Jia dared to fight with his life, why couldn't she?

Without hesitating too long, Lin Wanqing ignited her own life fire, circulated the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Art, and condensed a fiery Phoenix from her life fire, which flew towards the demonic Qi vortex.

The two collided, erupting in a massive spiritual power fluctuation.

The Saints of both the Human and Demon sides had to unleash their battle Qi to form shields to withstand this powerful impact.

Yu Jia and Lin Wanqing were simultaneously sent flying backward, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

Yu Jia had already been drained, sustained only by a flicker of belief. Now, seeing that he failed to defeat Lin Wanqing, he directly passed away.

"Miss Wanqing!"

Lu Xingchen ignored the spiritual power storm and hurriedly flew towards Lin Wanqing, embracing her.

"Miss Wanqing, why have you consumed so much of your life force?"

Lin Wanqing didn't answer immediately. She struggled to stand up from Lu Xingchen's arms and flew towards Ning Mengqi and the others.

Lu Xingchen, worried about her safety, followed closely behind her.

"Ning Mengqi, Yu Jia is dead, and I am still alive. The outcome of the fifth match is already very clear, isn't it?"

Ning Mengqi was furious and cursed, "You couldn't even win with the heavenly demon heart, Yu Jia, you're truly a good-for-nothing!"

Immediately, she turned to look at Lin Wanqing and said in a deep voice, "A bet is a bet. The Demon Race Army will withdraw from the Demon Abyss within three days!"

With that, she turned and left the area, followed by a group of Demon Race Saints.

Watching the Demon Race Saints depart, Lin Wanqing finally relaxed, her body went limp, and she fell directly from the sky.

Lu Xingchen hurriedly caught her. Before she could respond, he discovered that the woman in his arms had already lost her breath.

The other Human Race Saints also gathered around.

Xu Chengyang said in a deep voice, "What's the situation with Her Excellency Xin Huo?"

Lu Xingchen said coldly, "She just used a secret art that burned her life force and has already perished. City Lord Xu, I need to immediately take Miss Wanqing back to Central Continent. The matter of taking over the Demon Abyss will depend on you!"

With that, Lu Xingchen carried Lin Wanqing and flew towards the Teleportation Array within Demon-Rejecting Pass.

Everyone couldn't bear to provoke Lu Xingchen with words. Only Dongfang Yuqing, who felt he had a good relationship with him, followed along.

As Dongfang Yuqing flew, he softly said, "Xingchen, what do you plan to do?"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "I will assault the Demon Race, exterminate the Demon Race Saints, and avenge Miss Wanqing. However, I don't have that strength yet. Since Hall Master Zhong promised to provide all the resources of the Human Emperor Hall for my Cultivation, now is the time to fulfill that promise!"

Dongfang Yuqing nodded heavily, "If one day you truly intend to assault the Demon Race Holy City, count me in!"

The two took the Teleportation Array back to Central Continent. Lu Xingchen flew directly to the Human Emperor Hall, while Dongfang Yuqing went to the Righteous Path Alliance to inform Ning Zhifeng of the matter.

Although he and Ning Zhifeng didn't get along, Lin Wanqing was personally nurtured by Ning Zhifeng, considered half his disciple, so Ning Zhifeng had the right to know about this immediately.

After several notifications, Lu Xingchen and Zhong Ruiyi sat face to face in the conference room. Lin Wanqing's body was carefully placed by him in a cabinet on a nearby table.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "I wish to hold a wedding with Miss Wanqing, and I ask the Hall Master to be a witness and officiate our marriage!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ruiyi's eyes showed a hint of worry.

"Xingchen, calm down. Her Excellency Xin Huo has already passed away. How can she marry a living person?"

"This was Miss Wanqing's greatest wish, and it was our agreement. Please, Hall Master, grant it!"

Just then, a guard's announcement came from the doorway.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, Alliance Master Ning requests an audience!"

Zhong Ruiyi sighed softly.

"Bring him here. He is, after all, half a master to Her Excellency Xin Huo."

As Ning Zhifeng stepped through the conference room door, he said something astonishing.

"Your Excellency War God, don't be rash. Wanqing can still be saved!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen jumped up from his chair in surprise.

"Alliance Master Ning, what do you mean by that?"

"When I first had Wanqing Cultivate the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Art, it was to prevent her from perishing prematurely. After Cultivating this Cultivation Technique, Wanqing would leave a Soul Imprint in her body. As long as certain conditions are met, she can be resurrected."

"If you don't believe me, you can use the method I give you to sense the situation within her body, and then you will detect this Soul Imprint!"

Lu Xingchen was overjoyed and wept, his voice choked with emotion, as he hastily said, "Please, Alliance Master Ning, teach me!"

After receiving the secret method, Lu Xingchen immediately examined Lin Wanqing's body and indeed found the Soul Imprint.

He then closed the cabinet and said in a deep voice, "Alliance Master Ning, what conditions are needed to resurrect Miss Wanqing?"

Ning Zhifeng said in a deep voice, "To perform the Nirvana art, many precious Materials are needed, but I can acquire all of these. Most importantly, we need the Legacy Divine Artifacts of our four great races. Only by borrowing the power of the deities on the Divine Artifacts is there a possibility of success!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen's heart sank.

"No matter how difficult or challenging, I will try. However, don't we only have three great races on our Tianyuan Continent? What is the fourth?"

Ning Zhifeng said in a deep voice, "The Sea Race! The Sea Race occupies the seas surrounding the Tianyuan Continent. Their territory is larger than all three of our great races combined, and their strength is unfathomable. It's just that the Sea Race is not suited for living on land, so they have always coexisted peacefully with us."

"If I remember correctly, one of the Chosen Two, Your Excellency Martial Firmament, has some ties with the Sea Race. If you wish to obtain the Staff of Haibodong, I can ask him for help."

Zhong Ruiyi continued, "We can give you the Human Race's Legacy Divine Artifact, the human emperor brush, right now. As a War God, you share in the Human Race's glory and I believe you will make good use of this Divine Artifact!"
