Chapter 530
Wheel of Life?
Within the eerie altar space, Qi Ping continued his frenzied killing spree.
Qi Ping never let any of the maggots, vengeful spirits, or other types of strange creatures he encountered go unpunished, especially the vengeful spirits that could enhance the mark of the War of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Despite the horrific carnage, for some unknown reason, the creatures still couldn't reach the edge of this space, but their numbers steadily decreased over time.
Suddenly, Qi Ping, who was in the middle of the killing, felt his breath catch in his throat, and then the entire space suddenly fell into stillness!
Then, a will that made Qi Ping tremble all over suddenly awakened at this moment!
An incredibly terrifying will suddenly froze on Qi Ping's body.
In just a moment, Qi Ping felt his physical body, and even his soul and consciousness, freeze and stagnate.
He tried his best, but he couldn't move a single finger.
"What exactly is this?" Qi Ping was filled with shock at this moment.
Although he had anticipated that this being would be very strong, no one expected it to be this strong.
Even when he activated the enhanced post-war imprint and Druidic pan-nature consciousness, he could only maintain the basic operation of his mind.
Immediately afterwards, an incredibly vast and eerie hurricane arose in an instant, and countless maggots and vengeful spirits gathered at the center of the storm.
An unfathomable and terrifying being gradually awakens.
Every inch of Qi Ping's body instantly sensed an extremely deadly threat: danger, irresistible!
"Faced with such a being, no matter how much I struggle, I am almost certain to die."
Qi Ping stared at the terrifying presence before him, but his eyes showed no panic; instead, they were calmer than ever before.
He had already prepared for the worst-case scenario. What he was doing now was simply to witness the true power of this universe, so that he wouldn't panic even more when his true self encountered such a situation.
In addition, there is the opportunity to gain more benefits and knowledge. For example, with his current level of mastery of the War of the Beasts, he is confident enough to create an unprecedented Druid class!
This harvest is already quite substantial!
Moreover, Qi Ping didn't believe that the Xuanjia Old Turtle and the Bald Golden Crow would go to such great lengths just to watch him die.
Because this would not benefit the Forest Sea Demon Realm at all, but would instead cause the trade plan between the two worlds to fall through. Since many highly effective pills are completely unrelated to the Forest Sea Demon Realm and there is no animosity between them, profit is the greatest protection that Qi Ping firmly believes in!
As time passed, the aura at the center of the storm grew stronger and stronger, and the figure finally slowly took shape.
"this?"
The moment Qi Ping saw the figure clearly, he was completely shocked!
Because it wasn't a particularly frightening figure; it had neither a fierce appearance nor an indescribable eeriness, but rather seemed rather kind and approachable.
He was just an ordinary old man with a white beard!
What Qi Ping found most unbelievable was that this old man looked nine-tenths like Old Man Zhou!
If Qi Ping hadn't been so familiar with Old Man Zhou, there was even a possibility that he might have mistaken him for someone else.
However, he was 100% certain that this was definitely not Old Man Zhou!
"This being looks nine-tenths like Old Man Zhou? But it's definitely not that old man."
On this point, Qi Ping was certain that he would never admit his mistake.
"But why does the aura of the person in front of me seem to originate from the same source as Old Man Zhou?"
"Could it be the evil manifestation of Old Man Zhou?"
"Or perhaps one of Old Man Zhou's reincarnations?"
In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Qi Ping's mind.
After all, Old Man Zhou was also a reincarnation in one lifetime.
Given the power of the person before him, the possibility of him being a malevolent being is not small. But whatever the case, as long as he confirms that the person before him is not the real Old Man Zhou, he will not feel any pressure in taking action.
Moreover, he has now come to a realization: the bonds of this lifetime are enough. Let the future tell its own story. On the path to immortality, he only needs to act with a clear conscience.
The only thing that shocked Qi Ping was that Old Man Zhou's existence might be far beyond his imagination.
"Those disgusting ants, taking advantage of my slumber, slaughtered so many of my offspring."
The moment the white-bearded old man opened his eyes, his piercing gaze immediately fixed on Qi Ping.
That simple glance nearly froze Qi Ping's soul, as if he were being crushed by a millstone that seemed to topple the heavens!
Their terrifying strength was on full display at this moment.
"But why aren't you afraid of me? Oh, so it's just a spirit body. Interesting."
"And you seem to know me?"
The old man with the white beard was not angry because his body had been destroyed. Instead, he was surprisingly calm and revealed Qi Ping's condition almost without hesitation.
These calm words instantly sent chills down Qi Ping's spine!
No matter how fierce, powerful, or unpredictable the enemy, none of them would make him act this way.
Danger!
Extremely dangerous!
In an instant, for the first time since entering the Forest Sea Demon Realm, Qi Ping felt the urge to retreat and regretted his arrogance!
The old man in front of me is someone I absolutely cannot predict, even if I use all my methods.
Qi Ping even had a feeling that even if he used his own advantages to understand the knowledge of the entire Star Sea World, it might only be a drop in the ocean compared to this person's knowledge, like showing off his limited skills in front of an expert!
This state of being completely overwhelmed in terms of knowledge, combat power, and methods was something he had never experienced before.
When he finally came to his senses, Qi Ping was drenched in cold sweat!
Immediately following this, an even stronger fear gripped Qi Ping's heart.
"What just happened? How could a few words from them have plunged me into such a state of fear?"
Given his current Dao heart and will, he should be impossible to shake.
"Luckily I reacted!"
Qi Ping's gaze hardened once more.
The path to immortality he seeks is one where there is no absolutely safe way, nor can there be an absolutely correct answer.
He now firmly believes in all the choices he made in the past, even if they were wrong. The only purpose of the past is to help him reflect and navigate the path ahead. Once a move is made, there is no regret!
Just as Qi Ping regained his will and Dao heart, a look of surprise finally appeared in the eyes of the white-bearded old man who resembled Old Man Zhou, but then a look of interest followed.
"You ant, you're quite interesting."
Faced with this situation, Qi Ping did not reply rashly. He simply looked calmly at everything in front of him, while frantically absorbing all the information and analyzing it continuously.
He must remember everything from today, even the smallest, seemingly irrelevant detail!
The white-bearded old man did not attack Qi Ping immediately, because the moment his body solidified, four chains suddenly appeared out of thin air and firmly bound the white-bearded old man's body. (End of this chapter)
