After the bizarre nether transformation, Xu Qing’s right hand was translucent but there were five drops of blood inside, forming a pentagonal pattern.
Even with his bizarre nether transformation, he couldn’t hide the five drops of blood.
It could be seen how extraordinary these five drops of blood were.
In the altar, the moment Xu Qing grabbed toward the Clear Purple Mystic with his right hand, the lantern suddenly trembled and rose into the air on its own, wanting to fly toward Xu Qing.
However, at this moment, the five coffins in the surroundings shook. Each of them emitted the bloodline aura of the imperial family and fused with the flames here, transforming into a large golden hand.
It grabbed fiercely at the Clear Purple Mystic Lantern that was rising into the air.
At the same time, waves of inhuman roars rang out from the coffins. The lids of the coffins were also shaking, as though they were about to be lifted.
The power of flames erupted even more intensely.
The terrifying high temperature and the divine aura that could suppress the souls caused Xu Qing’s bizarre nether translucent right hand to immediately burn.
Grand Mystic Heaven’s armor and the god’s body couldn’t withstand this high temperature at all. In an instant, his right hand started breaking down rapidly.Only the divine authorities in his body could persist a little longer, but they couldn’t change the destruction of his right hand.
Even as his right hand was about to shatter like a moth fighting against fire, Xu Qing didn’t stop or slow down. The five drops of blood in his damaged arm were stimulated by him.
As the flames burned, these five drops of blood suddenly moved toward the five coffins on the altar.
An even purer and more ancient fluctuation of the imperial bloodline erupted from the five drops of blood.
It formed a bloodline suppression!
The large golden hand formed by the aura of the coffins couldn’t stop them. It was penetrated by the five drops of blood and they landed on different coffins at the next instant.
The instant they landed, the five coffins that were shaking suddenly paused. The roars inside also instantly disappeared and fell silent.
At the same time, the large golden hand formed by their auras froze in mid-air.
As for Xu Qing, his right hand, which was mostly destroyed, had already grabbed the Clear Purple Mystic Lantern that was flying over!
He pulled it out.
This lantern finally flew out of the gap.
The moment it left the altar, the shaking of the five coffins appeared again. The roars appeared with endless unwillingness.
However, the five drops of blood that landed on them shone and suppressed them again.
At the same time, Xu Qing’s right hand also turned into ashes. However, he instantly lifted his left hand, grabbed the lantern that was brought out, and retreated.
All of this took a long time to describe but in reality, from the moment Xu Qing rushed into the flames until now, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Little Shadow finally couldn’t hold on anymore and rapidly dimmed. It collapsed and turned into countless shadows that scattered in all directions.
As for the heavenly vine, it had also reached its limit and withered by more than half as it retreated.
The pulling force dissipated and the flames immediately recovered from their slanted state.
An even more violent roar rang out from the five coffins in the flames. In fact, cracks even appeared on the coffins themselves.
An unstable fluctuation rose from the altar.
Losing the core lantern was equivalent to losing the integration of immortals, and the violence of the god’s aura could no longer be neutralized at this moment. Hence… this ritual naturally formed a backlash!
The terrifying pressure grew increasingly intense in the flames.
This scene made the Eleventh Prince laugh.
The ministers fell silent.
The old eunuch let out a heart-rending cry.
At that moment, Xu Qing couldn’t care less about these. As he sped forward, he had already kept the Clear Purple Mystic that was filled with cracks. At the same time, his right arm that he had lost also grew out under the special effect of the god’s body amidst waves of intense pain from his flesh being torn apart.
Although he couldn’t help but feel weak, he finally heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. The method he had discussed with Zi Xuan in the high spiritual mansion a few months ago appeared in his mind.
This method was suggested by Zi Xuan and they had perfected it together.
Zi Xuan’s perception of that lantern was very accurate, especially during the few years Xu Qing had left the Imperial City. Zi Xuan seemed to be in closed-door cultivation but in reality, she had used many secret arts to obtain more information.
Those five drops of blood were none other than Zi Xuan’s origin blood.
They were also specially prepared for the five coffins. This blood could suppress the coffins for a short period.
This way, the process of retrieving the lantern would be smoother.
At the same time, they also discussed other steps. However, this fire formed from the ritual caused too many methods to lose their effect. Hence, Xu Qing could only take the risk.
However, after taking back the Purple Mystic Green Lantern, Xu Qing instinctively had a strange feeling.
‘It looks like I took a gamble, but this process seems… too smooth.’
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and kept Little Shadow and the heavenly vine before continuing to retreat.
At that moment, as Xu Qing retreated, a monstrous roar rang out from the altar that had lost its lantern. At the next instant, the coffins collapsed and exploded.
However, before the corpses could rush out, the golden flames surrounding the altar suddenly rolled back.
The backlash had appeared.
The high temperature inside instantly erupted and swept through everything inside.
The five coffins were the first to bear the brunt. Under the backlash of the divine fire, they instantly turned into ashes. Even the corpses and the altar turned to ashes.
Everything was caused by the backlash of the golden flames.
Without any nourishment, the golden flames gradually died out.
The aura of godhood that permeated the surroundings also dissipated at this moment and the world returned to normal.
The Human Emperor’s ascension ritual was interrupted!
He failed!
The Eleventh Prince’s laughter spread in all directions and the joy contained in it was extremely intense. After that, he looked at the Human Emperor.
At that moment, the ministers of the human races inside and outside the Ancient Sovereign Planet all had mixed feelings. However, they more or less heaved a sigh of relief, but the anxiety about the future couldn’t help but keep growing in their minds.
However, at the next instant, the Eleventh Prince’s laughter immediately stopped. An uneasy feeling rose in his heart.
That was because he didn’t see any changes on the Human Emperor’s face!
At that moment, there were still more than half of the chains binding the Human Emperor. He looked calm even when he saw that his ascension ritual had failed.
The uneasiness in the Eleventh Prince’s heart grew increasingly intense. Just as he was about to speak…
Right at that moment, the ashes formed by the burning altar and corpses headed straight for the Human Emperor, and arrived in front of him in an instant.
As the Human Emperor inhaled, the ashes and dust… landed in his mouth and he swallowed them.
The sky rumbled and the ground quaked.
The Ancient Sovereign Planet also swayed.
The fortune became increasingly tumultuous!
An aura of godhood that was countless times stronger than before erupted again at this instant from the state of dissipation!
However, the source of this eruption was no longer the altar that had turned into ashes but… the entire Ancient Sovereign Planet!!
The Ancient Sovereign Planet was actually burning!
The golden fire that were so much denser than before that they couldn’t even be compared ignited with the Ancient Sovereign Planet as the core.
The entire Imperial Capital shook and the entire Grand Imperial Capital Region started fluctuating with violent energy.
The god-ascension ritual that appeared again was too terrifying.
All of this caused the hearts of all the ministers inside and outside the Ancient Sovereign Planet to experience another wave of extreme rise and fall. The ones who felt the greatest shock… were King Zhen Yan and the old eunuch who were fighting.
The two people who had been fighting to the death retreated respectively amidst the rumbling. King Zhen Yan arrived beside the Eleventh Prince with his usual expression.
As for the old eunuch, he returned to the Human Emperor.
He stood behind the Human Emperor and spoke respectfully.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty. The first step of the ascension ceremony has been successfully completed.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
At this moment, everyone understood that the old eunuch’s previous attempts to stop Xu Qing were clearly just an act.
The key to this scene was the god-ascension ceremony that Xu Qing had destroyed!
Now that the entire Ancient Sovereign Planet had erupted, it meant that the destruction of the pentagonal altar wasn’t just part of the Human Emperor’s plan, it was also part of the true god-ascension ritual!
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. Although it looked dangerous when he made a move earlier, he had a feeling that it had gone too smoothly.
Now, it seemed his feeling wasn’t wrong.
However, this didn’t affect his decision. He wouldn’t participate in or judge the matters here.
He was content with just getting the Purple Mystic Green Lantern.
Xu Qing retreated a little and simply sat down cross-legged.
As for the Human Emperor, the chains on his body were still breaking. There was still no change in his expression. He only calmly looked at the Eleventh Prince whose expression had changed drastically and spoke calmly.
“Anything else?”
The Eleventh Prince’s face was pale as he looked at all of this. His eyes revealed a gloomy expression. Beside him, King Zhen Yan spoke hoarsely.
“Ning Chang, there’s no need to have such an expression. This was within our expectations.”
When the Eleventh Prince heard this, all the abnormalities on his face instantly vanished and he laughed.
“Although it’s within our expectations, I hoped that such a situation wouldn’t happen. He’s indeed the Human Emperor. No matter how I deliberately fluctuated my emotions, he remained calm from the start. How boring.”
“However, now, I don’t have to overstate my emotions.”
The Eleventh Prince spoke regretfully and bowed to the Human Emperor.
“Father, if you want to see my preparations, then… you can continue watching.”
After saying that, Ning Yan immediately slapped his forehead, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
At the same time, with a wave of his hand, 11 small bottles appeared out of thin air and shattered. They were all filled with blood.
Coupled with the mouthful he spat out, there were a total of 12 spheres of blood.
The instant they appeared, the imperial bloodline fluctuations soared from the 12 spheres of blood.
As soon as these spheres appeared, the expressions of the Eldest Prince, Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, and Tenth Prince, who had retreated to the edge of the altar, changed. They could sense their blood in these blood spheres.
They weren’t the only ones. At this moment, the princes and princesses who hadn’t entered the Ancient Sovereign Planet also had a similar sensation.
“This is the blood of all the brothers and sisters I’ve secretly collected over the years, including myself.”
The Eleventh Prince spoke softly.
“Today, with the blood of the Human Emperor’s children, I open the vortex of fortune, bypass the great array formation of the human race, circumvent the edges of the Sovereign Planet, and form the gate of heaven and earth!”
The Eleventh Prince performed a series of hand seals with both hands and waved them fiercely. Immediately, the twelve spheres of blood rose into the air and created a huge blood-
red vortex in the air above the Ancient Sovereign Planet.
Amidst the deafening rumbling sounds, the vortex emitted a pulling force, as though it had opened a tunnel!
A terrifying presence descended from within.
