Chapter 544 - 225: Eight Calamities
The golden-hued radiance cascaded down, unveiling the armored Divine General emerging in the world, standing tall behind Qin Jin, a majestic presence spreading in all directions, and on that face identical to Qin Jin’s, a faint Divine Intent arose, instilling a sense of solemnity within.
The battle armor draped over Divine Intent had undergone earth-shattering changes with each enhancement, the former Python Head had truly transformed into a dragon, and if a spiritual probe were to assault him, Divine Intent’s true form would be impossible to see, as only the pair of dragon eyes reflected in the Spiritual World could intercept external objects.
Around Divine Intent, there was a glow halo of power from Qin Jin’s own cultivation, subtly flickering.
Divine Intent manifested at the checkpoint.
At the instant Divine Intent appeared, the overwhelming pressure enveloping him abruptly reduced, seemingly satisfying the requirements of this checkpoint. But simultaneously, the gigantic Eight-armed Divine Being standing in front bowed its head, casting a glance.
In the next moment, the mental suppression came crashing like all the other participants, and a lifelike small Eight-armed Divine Being materialized in the void, standing at a distance, solely targeting Qin Jin.
Each of the eight arms held a different weapon; upon just appearing, before it even reached him, an arm swung, and in the area where Qin Jin stood, a fierce wind whistled up and swept towards him.
This fierce wind blew against the physique with no effect; unquestionably, it was purely a mental attack. As it swept around Divine Intent, it stirred layer upon layer of ripples.
Throughout the area, numerous participants had reached the checkpoint, and now Divine Intent manifested, resisting the trial.
"Body, strength, speed, intent."
With a whispered thought, facing the fierce wind, Qin Jin stepped forward.
The majestic presence of Divine Intent circulated behind, like an ancient Divine Spirit descending upon the world, protecting his being; as the fierce wind approached, he remained resolute and unmoved.
Independent among small Eight-armed Divine Beings, more arms swung, deploying other means.
An arm wielded a blade weapon, slicing downwards, as if black, lightning tainted with dust arose from the void and fell from above.
As the lightning cascaded down, a dragon shadow swam up around Divine Intent, actively welcoming it; at the moment of contact, the dragon shadow opened its mouth, swallowing the black lightning whole.
An arm held a spear, pushing forward, and beneath Qin Jin’s Divine Intent, nearly blood-colored flames emerged, burning Divine Intent.
Yet as those flames rose, fire ignited in Divine Intent’s eyes, faintly revealing a scene of a furnace within his gaze; the blood-colored flames were absorbed into the furnace, swiftly refined and transformed.
In addition, floods arose, seeming to drown Divine Intent, but Divine Intent stood firm, akin to a whale in the ocean, unmoved by external forces.
Eight arms equate to eight disasters!
Eight trials manifested as natural elements, targeting Divine Intent’s mental examination.
In the Heaven-Filling Dojo, he had nearly completed the final tempering of Divine Intent; the fixed limit of this checkpoint content naturally could not obstruct him, the eight disasters descended, subsequently intercepted by Divine Intent, turning into mere illusions as he trudged through the Star Sea, unyielding as a mountain.
All around.
Numerous participants cast their gazes over, witnessing Qin Jin casually breezing through the challenge, their expressions turned solemn.
In the Miracle Corridor, everyone was competitors, opponents to each other, and now Qin Jin’s leisurely performance undoubtedly garnered serious attention.
The silhouette moved forward.
All eight disasters evolved and were intercepted; after the final disaster disintegrated, Qin Jin had reached the end of the checkpoint.
In front of him, the only thing left was the small Eight-armed Divine Being itself, and at a glance, its eight arms had progressively broken after each disaster was thwarted, leaving it as an armless being now.
In the instant Qin Jin’s gaze cast towards it, the gigantic Eight-armed Giant standing in the Star Sea behind seemingly raised its eyes for a glance, looking at Qin Jin, its eyes flashing with brilliance, and a stream of light shot across the Star Sea, enveloping the armless Divine Being.
In the blink of an eye.
Everything around seemed isolated, and in this entire space, only Qin Jin and the armless Divine Being remained. Under his attention, extreme light rose around the armless Divine Being, rapidly evolving.
In the blink of an eye.
Its form seemed to expand immensely, from human shape, faintly transforming into the form of a Divine Bird, its silhouette somewhat blurred, as if the transformation was not genuine, with flowed fire surrounding; observing closely, Qin Jin’s mind shifted, a thought arising in his mind: "Golden Crow?"
The avian entity evolving before him bore three legs, its wings streaming with fire, and despite many differences upon closer inspection, akin to a crude replica, the creature conjured in Qin Jin’s mind for comparison was indeed the Golden Crow.
When he first entered the Great Wilderness, he had once seen a celestial phenomenon, beholding the form of the Golden Crow, leaving an extremely deep impression.
"What birthed this final test of the checkpoint?"
"It seems this shadow of the Golden Crow instead arose from my own evolution."
Thoughts flowed in his mind.
The "Golden Crow" shadow had fully formed.
Yet, this evolving scene completely lacked the true essence of God-like presence; at the moment of forming, strange cries resounded, the Golden Crow spread its wings moving forward, lines of fire erupted from its back, charging directly at Qin Jin.
"No matter what this is."
"Since it stands in my way, it shall be cut down."
Thoughts arose in his heart, Qin Jin’s steps did not halt, and above him, having remained stationary against the eight disasters, Divine Intent moved for the first time.
An arm stretched out, light condensed, revealing the Great Halberd!
In the next moment, Divine Intent ascended to the sky, meeting the Golden Crow; the two entities were like twin suns in this isolated space, about to collide; simultaneously, the Great Halberd swung, the power from multiple levels was unleashed through Divine Intent, and the Great Halberd fell!
Halberd to slay Golden Crow.
Dazzling brilliance surged at the halberd’s tip, and when it struck the Golden Crow’s body, a brief moment of hesitation followed, only to penetrate directly, fire trembled fiercely, shortly thereafter, the halberd’s might completely exploded within the body of the flame-engulfed Golden Crow, unleashing multicolored forces, as its form shattered with a thunderous collapse.
