I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 657 - 143: Awakening, Preparing for the Final Battle
"Wait for me a little longer, stall for time."
Xin Xichen gripped the Sun Moon Divine Artifact, coldly saying:
"Next, I will help the other Ghosts, devising a Dharma Method to resist Xian, to counter his suppression on the Ghosts!"
"That way, some Ghost Ancestors would barely be able to approach, attacking from extreme long-distance, providing auxiliary damage."
Only living beings fighting causes them great difficulties.
If all Ghosts gathered, each showing their Divine Techniques, sealing a perimeter around him, isolating the external Earth Vein, defeating the opponent is not difficult.
The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor alternately sprayed various Energy Cannons from head to head, "Then you’d better hurry, this guy seems to be learning to move, and his speed is increasing, so...where is he going? Looking for two new volumes of books?"
"Then we should throw a few detective book volumes to him!" The gentle female voice of the White Dragon said, "Perhaps it can halt his steps, after all trying won’t hurt."
"What a joke!"
The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor heard their words and said angrily, "Our Dragon Race relying on the Bone Demon Sect rebel’s books to stall this big guy??"
The Geng Metal Emperor of the Tiger Race snorted at these words, "Such false arrogance, do you know how terrifying this guy will become once he runs out of our sealing range? How great the disaster will be?"
"Once out of range, he will absorb tumors on the Earth Vein at a speed 1000 times faster than now — Embers, just his movement alone will trigger a rare catastrophic flood in the East Sea in ten thousand years."
"His footsteps will create seething sea pits on the ground, earthquake the continental plates, raising nearby underwater cities by several meters, and worth mentioning, I suspect the now fragmented Nine-State Four Seas were stepped on by this thing back then, causing continental plate shifts by Xian."
"Therefore, the current Nursery Tenth Continent may very well be using fragments of shattered Nine-State Four Seas, pieced together in the sky to evade this ghostly thing on the ground!"
Faces subtly changed among the people, meaning this chaotic, indescribably large thing would eventually render the entire Nine-State Four Seas unsafe.
Only the Tenth Continent in the sky would be safe?
"Meanwhile, this massive mess of Ember bubble will instinctively fill with flesh, countless sea fish along the way will be drained of blood and flesh, turning the entire East Sea into a dead land, plunging into darkness."
"Humans, the Four Great Divine Beasts, all races under Heaven, will be driven mad by him, becoming a deadly threat."
"Damn it!" The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor’s face was ashen, he fell into silence, coldly saying, "I see, throw those books over and try, doesn’t he like reading? Let him read then."
The White Dragon emitted a gentle voice, "I suspect, although Xian still retains his sanity, he has already fallen into a semi-mad state, we shouldn’t have angered him before, and should try to fulfill his demands."
"After all, as a Ghost, his condition of mania might be stopping him from reading books...we stopped him, hence he went mad."
Boom boom boom!
And now, Xian was rapidly moving.
Soon, books were thrown in front of Xian, "Here are the books you wanted."
Ning Zheng reached out countless tiny hands swiftly picking up books.
"Now, would you stop then?" The white Holy Dragon attempted to emit a gentle voice, to soothe this blank Giant Monster.
Ning Zheng plainly said, "No, my brain is about to vanish...I must increase my brain further to continue reading. Pseudo-humans, I need more pseudo-humans..."
Ning Zheng acted mad and foolish, at this moment he seemed completely adapted to this body, beginning to take large strides, resolutely heading afar, he needs more Spiritual Roots, more resources, to cultivate more brains...
Boom!
Those Embers were very wealthy, there were some Spirit Plant resources in the Storage Ring, various resources were swept away, numerous Spiritual Roots were plundered, flooding into the brain, forging new pseudo-human Three Flowers.
Fire Spirit Root, Water Spirit Root, Gold Spirit Root, Wind Spirit Root...
The brain is crowded, exceedingly hot, exceedingly dense, as if the brain is returning to chaos, completely controlling the body.
At this moment, Ning Zheng entered a profound and mysterious state, as if seeing the source of everything, returning to the most primordial chaotic Hongmeng period.
Boom boom boom!
Various attacks came again, attempting to halt Ning Zheng’s steps.
"Are you few, the powerhouses of this era, you may continue to hack me."
"But your strength feels slightly weaker, truly unable to even peel my skin."
The brain was madly growing, the body was madly growing, making Ning Zheng somewhat unable to still control the body.
"This fellow is actually mocking us."
"Geng Metal Tiger, go quickly to intercept them!"
"Damn it! Stop him quickly!"
"He’s becoming ever larger!"
"Go and haul those old Black Tortoises over, can be used as shields!"
"You Embers who can’t take action, go to the Black Tortoise Race, help us haul over those Black Tortoises, we need them to hold the front!"
Numerous conversations kept breaking out, their attacks constantly impacted Xian’s body, breaking his skin, crushing his bones, but to that massive form it was just a drop in the bucket.
Soon though, one by one colossal Black Tortoises like giant islands were hauled over, used by one White Tiger after another to hold the front.
With each advance, Ning Zheng’s figure grew larger, gradually the seventeen heads at the top surfaced, half of his body emerged above the sea.
The earth rose and fell beneath his feet, the starry sky shifted overhead.
One enormous Sun and Moon intertwined, yet dared not approach, full of great dread towards the prehistoric monster below.
"Ah!!" The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor still attacked from a distance, showing disbelief at the damage realized, "I could sever his body at first, later made huge wounds, now I can merely cut his skin?"
The overwhelming despair, the sense of hopeless oppression made the Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor’s nine heads droop weakly, "I must have another trick! There must be something else! No...this combination doesn’t work either...if I use the Yang attribute with Thunder and Fire attributes...no, it still doesn’t work..."
Xin Xichen scoffed, "Stop deceiving yourself, you can’t defeat him anymore! From now on, it’s up to me; the Human Race is the hope to save this world."
The Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor looked dazed and hopeless, "You can’t defeat him either... there’s no way to win; he has modernized his mind and body, absorbing all life."
Upon hearing the Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor’s words, all the powerhouses present were already shocked.
Who is the Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor? One of the strongest dominators throughout the Nine-State Four Seas, with absolutely powerful attacks, overlapping nine attributes, even Xin Xichen couldn’t compare to him back then, regarded as the strongest in the history of the Dragon Race, the Dragon King among Dragon Emperors, an undefeated legend.
But now, this extremely arrogant guy has gone silent, too afraid to speak?
"Damn it, is our era really going to return to the Sacrificial Era, where we can only hide in the nursery and watch the new creatures exploding below in the Nine-State Four Seas?"
A deep fear shrouded everyone’s hearts. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
People can accept the evolution explosion era, but can’t accept being defeated in such a sacrificial manner, which is grinding the confidence of the most arrogant Dragon Race into the ground.
"The Dragon Race won’t work, so next, I’ll be the one to fight him." Xin Xichen said coldly.
"I’ve already gathered enough information about him, his entire structure, growth principles, cycle logic, basically clear now...through the burning of the Fire of Civilization, the information has been analyzed completely, I understand him better than he understands himself. He is doomed to die! Just as I’ve dealt with those burned graves’ forbidden zone embers before."
He threw out a Forging Furnace on the spot, began to wield an Upper Grade Immortal Artifact Forging Hammer, and started crafting Immortal Artifacts.
Clang Clang Clang!
He was about to create an array that would isolate this thing from absorbing the Earth Vein, covering it above its head and following it, thus weakening its speed in absorbing the Earth Vein wherever it goes.
Moreover, the Protective Shield covering above its head could also weaken its attraction towards Ghosts, thus allowing some Ghost Emperors to attack it remotely across the shield.
Thus, all the Ghosts in the Nine-State could engage in a remote attack.
The strength of the Human Race lies in its wisdom; the Human Race’s brute force is inferior to beasts, but knowledge and skills are the reasons the Human Race has reached the pinnacle. Why use brute force to defeat him? Use brains, stupid dragons!
Clang Clang Clang!!
The iron hammer swung.
Xin Xichen felt his knowledge, skills, and determination reaching the peak moment, falling into an enlightenment under the Firewood, termed the Fire of Civilization.
He clearly knew that as long as he researched the corresponding Magical Artifact, restrained it, and limited it, he would inevitably achieve final victory, just like the Dragon Slaying Saber of the Dragon Race.
It was clear that the opponent did not possess wisdom, he was bound to win.
Even now that he has a brain, it’s still difficult for him to oppose these restraining Magical Artifacts.
"In the primitive era, they couldn’t win because that era was too primitive..."
Xin Xichen spoke to Dao Yueniang: "Now, everything is different; this giant is just our opportunity, let us study the truth of history, and the roots of each major system."
He swung the iron hammer while turning his head to look at the Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor, saying, "Before I finish crafting my Immortal Artifact, I’ll give you a chance to defeat Xian."
"What chance?" asked the Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor.
"Die once." Xin Xichen said, "I also mastered the awakening technique of the Pseudo-Ghost King...all you need is to die once; every head with a Celestial Spirit Root will become a head with Immortal Spirit Root, your combat power will increase by at least 100 times."
"You want me to die and then be artificially awakened as a Ghost King, stepping into the realm of Immortal Spirit Root?" the Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor fell silent, if it were before, he would have absolutely refused, but now he was starting not to care about the consequences.
All nine of his heads were independent Celestial Spirit Roots.
If they were all enhanced once...
Moreover, only two of his heads were Yin and Yang, and the remaining heads were either part of the Five Elements or wind and thunder variations of the Five Elements Spirit Roots.
Which means seven heads had to go through the toughest Five Elements Cycle...
"Dare to gamble? Even Pseudo-awakening is still a nine-in-one chance of life and death, relying on your willpower to endure, but once you become a Pseudo-Ghost King...and my shield to isolate his throttling of Ghosts is ready, allowing all the Ghosts in the Nine-State to attack, including you, the Ghost King."
Xin Xichen’s voice was like a devil’s temptation:
"Don’t worry too much, it’s just the Pseudo-Ghost King, being the first to seize the initiative might not be a bad thing...the Immortal Path era has exploded, there will eventually be unknown Immortal Artifacts, powerful Divine Techniques, that can transform you from a deficient Pseudo-Ghost King into a real Ghost King."
"I accept." The Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor knew deeply how powerful he was; as a perfect creature of the Dragon Race, his foundation couldn’t be matched by the entire Nine-State.
Once he breaks through to the Immortal Spirit Root, he will usher in an unprecedented transformation, even stepping into the Immortal Path supreme of the Nine-State, becoming the Supreme Emperor of the next era in one leap.
He had this confidence.
Breaking through early might not be impossible.
"Then let my breakthrough be the sacrifice." With a loud bang, the Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor decisively committed suicide, blasting apart a head.
Poof.
The head exploded but did not regenerate embers.
Soon, the head recovered, continuing to explode, repeatedly, under the strengthened treasure medicine assisting embers, his first head became embers.
"The first one, next is the second one..." the Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor said coldly.
"This guy...can die in turns, astonishingly can perfectly transform into embers..." Xin Xichen couldn’t believe what’s happening, this God-like ability, no wonder he could crush figures like the Shadow Devouring Dragon Emperor, becoming the real Dragon Race’s Emperor.
This level of Celestial Spirit Root, too exceptional, even Xi Rong’s Yin Crocodile Spirit Root, felt far inferior.
Poof Poof Poof!
The Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor ultimately became a Ghost King, a trace of Muddy Qi spread in the sky.
"If we have such power, a Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor of Immortal Path level born...how can we not win." A flicker of a smile appeared at the corner of Xin Xichen’s mouth, quickly seizing that lingering Muddy Qi’s residual soul, using Secret Technique to pull him into an illusion, helping him undergo Pseudo-awakening.
