Chapter 976: Within the Divine Kingdom
Before the might of immortals, Qi Xuansu once again felt his own insignificance and helplessness. His so-called “limitless future” was nothing but a mirage that could vanish at any moment.
But Qi Xuansu had grown step by step. He was long accustomed to this powerlessness. Thus, he did not feel despair or betrayal. He even steeled himself to face a life-and-death struggle.
In the blink of an eye, a ruined world of magma and ash appeared before Qi Xuansu.
At first glance, Qi Xuansu did not even recognize it as the massive island he had once glimpsed in Izanagi’s memories. There were no forests or cities, only ash, charred remnants, and crisscrossing abyssal fissures that belched flames and magma.
Fiery clouds spanned the heavens, pressing downward endlessly until it felt suffocating.
Waves of heat surged, so breathing alone scorched his throat and seared his lungs.
Fortunately, as a Wuliang-stage Martial Arts Practitioner, Qi Xuansu could switch to embryonic breathing, avoiding the burn of the air.
What shocked him more was that the demonic fire within him that had dragged him into this world now lay strangely dormant in this divine kingdom.
Qi Xuansu did not believe the fire had gone still of its own will. It must have been suppressed by some external force.
At that thought, he instinctively looked down at his abdomen. Green Cloud was still lodged in his belly.
Qi Xuansu was no fool. Linking this with the sudden collapse of the Heavenly Preceptor’s seals, he could roughly piece together the truth.
Just as he was about to draw Green Cloud from his abdomen, a voice sounded in his ear. “Xuansu.”
