188: Devouring, whistling

The surging colorful light rain, like a heavenly river flowing backwards, washed over Qin Wushang's body without end.

The immense Luck and pure spiritual power contained within not only nourished his flesh and Meridians, but also smoothed away every subtle hidden injury and fatigue.

Even the soreness in his waist and abdomen from yesterday's arduous exploration of the Dragon cave vanished under the infiltration of the warm current, leaving him feeling completely comfortable and refreshed.

Just as the Prodigies on the periphery were cursing!

Qin Wushang, sitting cross-legged in the center of the light pillar, suddenly knit his brows without warning.

"Twenty thousand years... a full twenty thousand years..."

An old and hoarse voice drifted faintly from the depths of the Dragon Vein.

"Such a perfect... such a body full of vitality and dao rhyme... This Emperor... has finally waited for it!"

"Get lost! This Emperor set eyes on him first! This Saint Body Dao Embryo should be controlled by this Emperor to descend upon the mortal world again!"

"All of you move aside! The grand hegemony that this Emperor failed to complete back then can be continued through this body! Let this Emperor do it!"

Immediately after, a second, a third... over a dozen voices, completely different yet all containing ancient majesty and obsession, roared one after another.

Amidst the colorful light rain falling from the sky, blurry and distorted transparent figures suddenly appeared!

They were draped in illusory imperial robes and crowns, with ferocious faces, emitting terrifying fluctuations of Soul Power of varying strengths!

These were clearly the undying wills left behind by the fallen emperors of Great Chu throughout history!

At this moment, these ancient wills sleeping in the depths of the Dragon Vein were attracted by Qin Wushang's perfect Physical Body and pounced towards him.

"Imperial wills! Hahaha, it's the wills of the former emperors sleeping in the Dragon Vein!"

Ye Jingfeng was the first to react; he was startled at first, but then wild joy erupted in his eyes.

"Possession! They want to perform Possession on Qin Wushang! Good! Excellent! Quickly, devour him! Seize his shell!"

In his view, being targeted by so many powerful and ancient wills at the same time, Qin Wushang had absolutely no chance of survival!

Once his Divine Soul was torn apart and devoured, wouldn't this perfect Physical Body and Luck become ownerless objects?

Even if he couldn't obtain it, being able to see Qin Wushang fall would be a joyous event!

Chu Qingming also stopped his futile devouring, a cold arc curling at the corner of his mouth as he stared fixedly at Qin Wushang.

Murong Yan, Chu Tianhai, and other heads of the Noble Families exchanged a tacit look, their eyes filled with schadenfreude and anticipation.

"Your Majesty!"

Chu Tianhai even stepped forward half a step and bowed to Chu Yuehua in the high sky.

"The Dragon Vein Baptism and the trial of the imperial wills are rules set by our ancestors, intended to temper the will of the younger generation."

"I hope Your Majesty... will not intervene."

He desperately hoped that those crazy wills would tear Qin Wushang to pieces immediately.

Murong Yan did not speak, but his clenched fists and slightly trembling body betrayed his inner excitement.

"Die! You little bastard!"

"Daring to kill the Prodigy of my clan, this is your retribution! To have your Divine Soul devoured by the wills of the emperors throughout history, never to be reincarnated!"

Chu Qingming thought even more!

"As long as he is disturbed and loses his focus, even for an instant, his control over the Luck will inevitably loosen! My Heaven-Swallowing Art will have a chance!"

He secretly activated his Cultivation Technique, preparing to snatch any Luck that might escape at any moment.

However, facing the imperial wills rushing over like a surging tide, Qin Wushang just sat cross-legged and motionless.

"Hum!"

Just as the first will was about to touch his brow, his whole body's Qi and blood shook violently!

The immense power of heaven and earth was drawn, bolstering his body and forming an invisible barrier.

In the high sky, Chu Yuehua's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and her jade fingers resting on the armrest of the imperial throne tightened slightly.

But she ultimately made no move, only the moonlight permeating her surroundings became increasingly bone-chillingly cold.

"Puchi!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The phantom figures of the imperial wills penetrated the barrier formed by Qi, blood, and the power of heaven and earth with almost no obstruction.

They were essentially Divine Soul thoughts, frantically drilling into Qin Wushang's brow and rushing into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness!

Qin Wushang's Sea of Consciousness was not a sea gathered with Divine Sense power, shrouded in clouds and mist like that of ordinary Cultivators.

At the core of his Sea of Consciousness stood a boundless crimson high wall!

The wall was not physical; it was woven from countless flowing supreme runes, emitting an aura of eternity.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Dozens of imperial wills slammed frantically against the crimson high wall, emitting dull, loud noises.

"What the hell is this?"

"Why is there such a bizarre barrier in this boy's Sea of Consciousness?"

"Damn it! This wall... the structure of this wall is unheard of, there's simply no way to start!"

"Trash! All move aside! Watch as this Emperor breaks it with the Soul-Splitting Imperial Finger!... No! How is this possible?! This Emperor's secret technique actually failed?"

"So tight! The rune density of this barrier is incredibly high! Soul Power cannot penetrate it at all!"

"Can't get in... it's too tight! The Soul-Splitting Finger can't penetrate it at all... Damn it, this Emperor is returning to the world... Roar, break for me!"

"Strange! Too strange! The dao patterns on it are profound and unpredictable, as if... they transcend the Laws of this world?"

"This is impossible! He is merely a Heavenly God!"

The imperial wills were shocked and furious. The weakest of them in their lifetimes were Saint Venerables, and the strongest had even touched the threshold of Quasi-Emperor, having mastered countless Divine Soul secret techniques.

At this moment, they were actually helpless against a barrier, which completely subverted their cognition.

"Screech!"

Just at this moment, a phantom of a giant beast, indescribably huge, slowly emerged.

Kunpeng had appeared!

It landed on the high wall, its cold and merciless giant eyes slowly sweeping over the imperial will phantoms below.

The next moment, Qin Wushang's Primordial Spirit appeared calmly on Kunpeng's back, which was as wide as a mountain.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly overlooking those ancient wills that once ruled the world.

"Kunpeng?! His avatar is actually the head of the ten primordial fierce beasts!"

"Damn it! What kind of Cultivation Technique does this brat practice? To be able to visualize such a fierce creature to protect his Sea of Consciousness!"

"Brat! Get down here! Offering this Physical Body to this Emperor is your supreme honor!"

"This Emperor can grant you generations of wealth and ensure your Bloodline never dies out!"

A phantom will, the most solid one and wearing an imperial crown, sternly scolded, attempting to suppress him with imperial majesty.

He violently released his own remaining terrifying Imperial Might; that pressure was enough to make the Divine Soul of an ordinary Heavenly God collapse.

However, this pressure had no effect when it impacted the crimson high wall.

"This... this is impossible!!!"

All the imperial wills gasped in shock.

They could not understand how a junior who had just broken through to the Heavenly God Realm could possess such terrifying means.

Qin Wushang's Primordial Spirit looked down at them, a cold and indifferent arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Devour."

"Roar!"

Kunpeng transformed into its Kun form and suddenly opened its giant mouth that seemed capable of devouring the galaxy!

A deep and huge vortex suddenly formed in its mouth, releasing a terrifying devouring force.

"No! Do not!"

"Get away! This Emperor commands you to get away!"

"Brat! You dare to devour the imperial wills? This is rebellion! This is blasphemy! You will suffer divine retribution!"

"Let me out! I am willing to serve you as my master! I will offer my lifelong Legacy!"

Various voices mixed together.

These existences, once high and mighty, were now no different from the weakest wandering souls before Kunpeng's devouring vortex, struggling desperately to escape.

"Hum!"

Outside, on Emperor Mountain.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone, the colorful light pillar shrouding Qin Wushang suddenly shook...

Immediately, several imperial will phantoms with dimmed colors and almost disintegrated bodies fled out from Qin Wushang's brow!

"Help... help!"

"Girl! Junior of the Chu family! Save this Old Ancestor! This Old Ancestor does not want to be annihilated just like this!"

"This boy is weird! There is a great terror in his Sea of Consciousness!"

They were actually sending shrill cries for help to Chu Yuehua in the high sky!

This scene left all the onlookers dumbfounded.

The imperial wills... are asking for help?

Asking the current Empress for help to avoid being... devoured by a junior in the Heavenly God Realm?

"This... how is this possible..."

A head of a Noble Family muttered to himself, his face deathly pale.

"No! There must be a mistake somewhere!"

Murong Yan shook his head violently, as if trying to convince himself.

"It must be that Qin Wushang has already been successfully possessed by some powerful former emperor's will!"

"Now it is he who wants to devour other wills to strengthen himself! That's why the other wills are fleeing and calling for help!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It must be so!"

"That's right! How could a Heavenly God devour the wills of emperors throughout history? He must have been possessed!"

In the high sky, Chu Yuehua's hanging heart dropped slightly.

She had merged Divine Souls with Qin Wushang and had left behind means to protect him while he was at his most pleasurable.

Since that means wasn't triggered, Qin Wushang was fine!

"It seems this Rebellious Disciple still has many secrets."

A strange gleam flashed in her eyes, and she whispered to herself in her heart.

"No—! I don't want to go back! Let me go!"

Just at this moment, a new change occurred!

Behind Qin Wushang, a phantom of an incomparably huge giant Kun manifested, echoing with the Kunpeng in his Sea of Consciousness!

The giant Kun phantom opened its abyss-like giant mouth, and a devouring force even more domineering than when the Primordial Dao Diagram was drawing Luck earlier erupted!

"Swish!"

Those broken imperial wills that had fled let out desperate shrieks, were forcibly pulled by an invisible force field, rolled backwards, and plunged into the giant Kun's mouth!

Not only that, the colorful Luck light rain falling from the sky, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, rushed towards Qin Wushang at an unprecedented speed!

This devouring force began to indiscriminately sweep up all the energy in the surroundings!

Including the Divine Power and Qi and blood flowing in the bodies of the Prodigies nearby!

"My Divine Power... what's going on?"

"Not good! He is absorbing our power! Retreat quickly!"

Ye Jingfeng, who was closest to Qin Wushang, was the first to notice something wrong, his expression changing drastically.

He was shocked and furious, roaring loudly as Sword Qi erupted, struggling desperately against the suction force, wanting to break free.

"Pfft!"

Chu Qingming, who had already suffered backlash from forcibly using the Heaven-Swallowing Art, was now drawn by this domineering external force, causing his internal Qi, blood, and Divine Power to be completely chaotic, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

He was terrified and could no longer care about any Luck or Opportunity, using his last bit of strength to stagger towards the periphery.

"Go! Leave here quickly!"

"This devouring force is weird! It cannot be resisted!"

The other Prodigies also changed color in shock, feeling their own power draining away, and fled the core area of the light rain in a sorry state, fearing that if they were a step too slow, they would be sucked dry into human husks.

However, there was one exception in the field.

Lin Ziyao not only did not flee, but when that devouring force spread, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she took the Opportunity to let go of her resistance, allowing herself to be sucked over!

She bumped right into Qin Wushang's arms, not a bit off.

Like an octopus, she stretched out her jade arms to tightly wrap around Qin Wushang's neck, pressing her warm, fragrant, and soft body against him.

Then, she quickly leaned in with her red lips and took a few bites on Qin Wushang's cheek.

After kissing, she deliberately glanced at the cold-as-the-moon figure in the high sky with the corner of her eyes.

"Chu Yuehua, did you see that? I kissed him! I kissed him fair and square! What can you do about it? Nya-nya-nya~"

"..."

In the high sky, the moonlight permeating Chu Yuehua's surroundings suddenly froze.

Her hands instantly clenched into fists, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

On the viewing platform in the distance, Lin Nantian witnessed his daughter's act of throwing herself into someone's arms, his old face stiffening suddenly, and then the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably a few times.

He turned around very naturally, raised his head, looked at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and whistled.

"Whew... whew-whew..."

"Save me, save me... Patriarch Huang... save me!"

"Ahhh!"

Ye Jingfeng's body withered rapidly, wailing in despair.
