Chapter 1028
Forward, forward, and forward again!
Who in this world doesn't want to become a god?
Who wouldn't want to transcend immortality, truly step into the legendary eternal divine realm, and grasp supreme authority and power?
Divinity is the most precious key to all of this.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became eerie and tense.
Greed, desire, possessiveness... all sorts of emotions intertwined and fermented, replacing the previous hatred, confrontation, and fear.
Whether it's the Guardian Alliance, the Future World, the Ancient Powerhouses, the Demon Clan Alliance, or those forces hidden in the shadows, they all now regard the "Divine Tomb" as their primary target.
Fang Qing's expression also flickered slightly.
The news of a godhood is indeed astonishing.
He understood the significance of divinity better than anyone else; it represented not only a leap in power but also potentially the secrets of the divine realm and the path to godhood. Obtaining it would bring immeasurable benefits to his ascent on the ladder to immortality, the perfection of his own path, and even the ability to cope with future calamities.
But he remained calm and vigilant.
The great sage of the Jixu tribe was not simply sharing this shocking news out of kindness. More likely, it was a way to divert attention from internal conflicts, alleviate the potential pressure of an impending siege upon the arrival of the future world, and simultaneously intensify the struggle for the divine tomb, creating chaos so that they could seize an opportunity.
As expected, seeing the crowd's reaction, the Cardinal Elder's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible look of satisfaction, and he continued:
"Of course, the tomb of the gods is fraught with danger. Although those ghosts and souls that have retained their divine status have lost their complete divine bodies and wills, their instinctive fighting power and supernatural abilities are probably still extremely terrifying."
Moreover, the Tomb of the Gods is itself a massive labyrinth and trap. For a single force to venture deep within and gain anything would be extremely difficult, and the losses would inevitably be devastating.
He changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over Fang Qing, the ancient experts, and the demon alliance, and made a suggestion.
"In my opinion, it would be better if we set aside our disputes and grudges for the time being, and join forces to open the entrance to the Divine Tomb and explore its mysteries. Once inside, each of us can rely on our abilities and opportunities to find and subdue divine souls. In this way, we can minimize our losses and also maximize our understanding of the true nature of the Divine Tomb. What do you all think?"
Teaming up to explore tombs? Or relying on individual skills?
This proposal has appealed to many people.
The Tomb of the Gods doesn't look like someone to be trifled with. If you try to attack it alone, you're likely to become the target of everyone's attacks or a scapegoat.
A temporary collaboration seems like a good option.
"Alright! Let's do as the wise man says! First, break open the tomb door and go inside!"
A giant ape ancestor from the Demon Clan Alliance roared first, its voice shaking the galaxy.
"Indeed! The Divine Tomb is impregnable; it cannot be breached by the power of one person or one race alone! Only by joining forces can we succeed!"
An old Taoist priest from ancient times, clad in a robe adorned with stars, nodded slowly.
"Hmph! Since that's the case, then let's join forces for now!"
The expert in silver armor from the future world also spoke coldly, which was clearly in line with their expectations.
Fang Qing's gaze was deep as he looked at the fragile alliance that had been formed so quickly. This alliance was easily broken and could collapse at any moment due to the distribution of benefits.
However, at present, the deterrent power of the divine tomb itself and the allure of divinity have indeed made all parties unwilling to engage in internal strife first.
"In that case, our Guardian Alliance is willing to join temporarily. However, once the tomb gate is opened, everyone should act independently, and there is no question of life or death!"
"Of course!"
Everyone echoed in agreement.
Thus began a tomb-breaking operation involving the Guardian Alliance, the Future World, ancient powerhouses, the Demon Clan Alliance, and some scattered ancient humans!
The target was the enormous divine tomb that floated in the chaos, exuding an aura of ancient stillness.
"Everyone! Make your move!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
The next moment—
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As if billions of stars had exploded simultaneously, countless terrifying torrents of energy, beams of divine light, chains of laws, and technological beams of light... poured forth from all directions like a flood bursting its banks, madly cascading towards the tightly closed tomb door of the Divine Tomb.
The Demon Clan Alliance and the Primordial Faction are filled with countless experts, all of whom are ancient beings who have cultivated for countless millennia.
If they were to join forces and bombard each other, the combined power would be enough to shatter heaven and earth and return the universe to chaos!
Attacks of various colors and attributes, imbued with the characteristics of different eras and races, intertwined in the void to form a destructive storm.
The future world and the Machine Race showcase the ultimate beauty of technology and order.
Countless warships' main cannons blazed with blinding light, and thick beams of energy ripped through the chaos.
On the fortress of the Jixu tribe, all sorts of bizarre but incredibly powerful giant cannons, pulse launchers, and space oscillators fired simultaneously, forming a dense and efficient coverage strike network.
On the side of the Guardian Alliance, at Fang Qing's signal, Yang Qi, Huo Liao and others also led their elite legions, formed a battle formation, and united everyone's power into a chaotic torrent, joining the attack!
Many ancient human beings and powerful rogue cultivators hidden deep within the chaos no longer concealed their abilities and unleashed terrifying auras and Dao techniques.
Some joined forces to unleash ancient divine artifacts, slashing open the sky with gaping rifts; others used long-lost forbidden techniques to summon devastating elemental storms; still others burned their life essence and lifespan to unleash a world-shaking strike.
The whole scene was both incredibly spectacular and incredibly terrifying.
The chaotic space spanning tens of thousands of miles was constantly collapsing from the aftershocks of these countless attacks. The dense, suffocating barrier of "divine energy" surrounding the divine tomb began to violently fluctuate and distort under this cataclysmic bombardment, and then—
"Snap—!"
A crisp and resounding shattering sound echoed deep within everyone's soul.
Before the enormous tomb entrance, space suddenly tore open a huge rift, from which endless divine light, chaotic primordial energy, and ancient aura rushed forth.
A passage leading to the interior of the tomb was forcibly opened.
"The passage is open! Enter!"
"Shuashuashua...!"
In an instant, the numerous ancient relics and powerful figures who had been waiting impatiently, like a group of sharks smelling blood, disregarded whether the passage was stable or whether it was dangerous inside. They transformed into streaks of light and rushed in one after another, instantly approaching the majestic divine tomb.
Demons, ancient beings, future beings, mechanical beings, and many ancient human monsters... all sorts of figures mingled together, creating a chaotic scene!
Fang Qing's gaze sharpened, and he no longer hesitated.
He moved his body slightly.
"Wings of freedom, soaring freely across the heavens and earth!"
A pair of translucent, magical wings, shimmering with freedom and penetrating light, instantly unfolded behind him—these were the Wings of Freedom!
The wings flapped only gently.
"call out!"
A barely perceptible ripple spread out, and Fang Qing's figure had already disappeared from the spot. His speed was so fast that it transcended the conventional concept of space and time.
The next instant, his figure appeared directly inside the tomb.
Upon entering the tomb, Fang Qing immediately sensed an aura completely different from the outside world.
This place seems to be a strange space independent of all the heavens and myriad worlds.
It was so vast that the end could not be seen.
There were no stars or moon above, nor solid ground beneath one's feet, but a chaotic, endless void.
Enormous, tunnel-like structures crisscross in incomprehensible ways, extending into the unknown depths.
The walls, ceilings, and even the floors of these passages emanate a faint, ancient divine light, inscribed with countless divine runes and patterns that are impossible to decipher yet contain supreme mysteries.
What's even more shocking is that the primordial energy here is extremely chaotic. Some of the primordial energy is a deathly grayish-white, as if it can devour all life.
Some are pure, multicolored divine light, exuding an alluring fragrance and surging energy.
Some of them were even the legendary "divine fiery spirits" that only existed in the realm of gods, with different colors, some as blazing as fire, some as cold as ice, and some as sharp as knives...
Even a mere wisp of this malevolent energy is enough to cause a cultivator below the Mythical Realm to explode and die instantly.
Even those emperor-level experts who have already ascended the ladder to immortality will experience chaotic aura and even damage to their foundation if they inhale too much!
Other forms of primordial energy are the purest and most natural "divine primordial energy" in the divine realm. Like a precious elixir, just one breath can cleanse the physical body, enhance physical constitution, and even increase affinity with divinity.
The variety, diversity, and high level of the primordial energy here are beyond imagination. It's as if a world-destroying war once broke out in the realm of gods, shattering and mixing all the primordial energy, power, and rules together to form this chaotic yet infinitely possible "ocean of primordial energy."
Faced with such an extremely complex environment, ordinary cultivators would probably find it difficult to move an inch, and would be in danger of being corroded by some kind of deadly energy or having their bodies explode due to energy conflicts at any time.
But as soon as Fang Qing had a thought, a colossal primordial spirit phantom, incredibly solid and seemingly encompassing all the mysteries of the heavens, suddenly appeared above his head—it was his Chaos Primordial Spirit.
Within the eyes of the primordial spirit, the light of the wisdom level and the perseverance and fearlessness level shone brightly, transforming into countless invisible tendrils of thought and rays of deduction, spreading out in all directions at an unimaginable speed!
"Om-!"
In an instant, the attributes, composition, fluctuation patterns, and interactions of all chaotic primordial energy within a radius of ten thousand miles...
Everything was captured and analyzed by this peerless primordial spirit, and in an instant, it transformed into countless clear and distinct data streams that flooded into Fang Qing's consciousness.
His body seemed to have transformed into a highly sophisticated instrument for classifying and absorbing vital energy.
The thought arises again!
The power of the chaotic inner world was drawn in, forming a chaotic vortex around him.
The divine energy and pure divine light that were beneficial to him were quickly separated from the chaotic ocean of primordial energy and continuously absorbed into his body, nourishing his physical body, soul, and inner world.
The harmful "divine evil spirits" and lifeless primordial energy were cleverly repelled or directly assimilated by the power of chaos.
Moreover, the divine energy absorbed from the divine realm, after entering his body, was directly transformed by his supreme control and Dao realm into universes containing different divine rules, stored in different regions of the chaotic inner world, becoming the cornerstone for building a more complete divine law in the future.
In this chaotic and dangerous environment, Fang Qing not only encountered no obstacles, but thrived, turning it into the perfect place for him to plunder resources and strengthen himself.
Having dealt with the threats and opportunities posed by the chaotic energy around him, Fang Qing didn't linger. With a gentle flap of his Wings of Freedom, he moved through the massive passage like a ghost.
His gaze was like lightning, and his intelligent spirit continuously scanned the huge, shimmering walls on both sides of the passage.
These walls, from a distance, appear to be nothing more than cold, divine stones, but upon closer inspection, Fang Qing immediately discovered their secrets.
These walls are not solid; each wall conceals an independent spatial dimension within it.
Some planes are only the size of a single planet, while others are as vast as a star field.
This divine tomb is less a grave and more a "divine universe" built from countless planes, worlds, and ruins, with the passageway merely serving as a "meridian" connecting these planes.
Fang Qing locked onto a wall-shaped dimension that exuded a rich aroma of life and medicine.
The spatial structure of this wall is almost equivalent to a continental plate.
With a flick of his fingers, the chaotic sword energy easily tore open an entrance, and he vanished into it in a flash.
The view before me suddenly opened up.
This is a green world brimming with endless vitality.
Colorful medicinal clouds floated in the sky, and countless strange and wonderful herbs and elixirs grew on the earth, all of which exuded astonishing spiritual energy.
Some are as tall as saplings, bearing glittering golden fruit; others lie prostrate on the ground, their leaves like jade carvings; still others have become sentient, transforming into tiny sprites frolicking in the medicinal field.
"Ten-thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit! Nine-turn Rejuvenating Grass! Heavenly Fragrance Jade Marrow Fungus! These are all legendary divine medicines that have long been extinct in the outside world! Many of them have even reached the level of divine medicines!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Qing's eyes.
"receive!"
Without any hesitation, Fang Qing opened his mouth and inhaled, radiating the power of the chaotic inner world, forming a huge devouring vortex.
Instantly, the divine herbs growing on the ground, the essence of medicinal clouds floating in the air, and even the boundless vitality contained within this plane itself, all surged into his body like a whale sucking in water.
With that one breath, it swallowed up a plane containing countless divine medicines.
After taking the world of spiritual herbs, Fang Qing didn't linger. He moved again and appeared in front of a wall on the other side of the passage.
The wall exudes a strong metallic sharpness and ancient divine fluctuations.
After discerning the scent, a look of joy returned to his face.
"It's genuine Primordial Divine Metal! And there's more than one type! Primordial Purple Gold, Eternal Blue Iron, Chaos Primordial Mother Stone... These are all supreme materials for forging unparalleled divine artifacts. It seems this is a divine metal vein plane extending from the depths of the passage!"
Breaking through the barrier once more, one is greeted by a dazzling world of metal.
Everywhere there were divine gold ores shimmering with various colors of divine light, some as majestic as mountains, others as winding as streams.
A dense, metallic divine power rushed towards me, seemingly capable of piercing through everything.
Fang Qing simply opened his mouth and inhaled.
The power of chaos enveloped it, drawing in the incomparably precious ancient divine metal along with the essence of the entire mineral vein plane.
Next, Fang Qing's figure flickered continuously in the huge passage of the divine tomb.
He discovered that this divine tomb was practically a "divine universe" containing endless treasures.
The seemingly ordinary walls on both sides, above, and even below the passage are covered with countless planes, worlds, and ruins.
Some planes are divine beast gardens, where the corpses of various divine beasts sleep or are sealed. Although their life force has been exhausted, their bones, fur, and blood essence are all supreme treasures.
Some planes are armories, filled with all sorts of divine artifacts of different styles and emitting varying degrees of divine light.
From the lowest-grade standard divine weapons to the incredibly powerful swords of divine generals and armor of divine kings, everything is available.
Although many are damaged, the divinity and materials they contain are still priceless.
Other planes are elixir halls, containing countless jade bottles and gourds sealed by divine power, with faint glimpses of elixir clouds and a fragrant aroma.
Furthermore, some planes, or even fragments of landscapes or buildings in the realm of gods, may contain divine inscriptions and traces of deities' cultivation.
With the speed of the Wings of Freedom and the precise detection of his intelligent primordial spirit, Fang Qing specifically targeted the best planes with the richest aura and the most dazzling treasures.
He was like a tireless gluttonous beast, frantically devouring and plundering the endless treasures in the tomb of the gods.
Each time he devoured a world of spiritual herbs, his vitality and life essence would surge dramatically, making his physical body even more crystalline and translucent, brimming with boundless energy.
With each divine metal vein he devours, the metal elemental laws within his inner world become more refined and sharper, and countless precious divine metals are stored away, waiting to be forged into supreme artifacts in the future.
Each time he devours a plane containing the remains of a divine beast, he gains the essence of the bloodline and fragments of talent from various divine beasts, continuously enriching and strengthening his physique and potential.
With each armory dimension he devoured, he stripped away the divinity and material essence of countless divine artifacts.
The speed and efficiency of this plundering are simply outrageous! It's like a giant who has been starving for countless years suddenly breaking into a treasure trove filled with delicacies and beginning an unrestrained feast.
His cultivation level soared at a visible speed under this frenzied devouring and plundering.
Forward, forward, and ever forward! (End of Chapter)
