Chapter 1228: Space-Time Amber
Xu Qing had spent his youth wandering in misery. He had experienced the suffering of the human world. And he had survived it all thanks to his tenacious desire to keep on living.
Those experiences had made him cautious by nature. He would seek revenge over the smallest grievance, and had learned how to coldly slaughter his enemies. It had also fueled his thirst for knowledge, and had caused him to endlessly yearn for light and beauty. He was not the type of person who would casually open his heart to others.
His life had experienced twists and turns. But overall, things had been better than they had been in his youth. Slowly but surely, he had opened up his heart.
Unfortunately, though his path was like a blooming flower, it also came to be like a wilting flower. As he grew up, and as his heart opened, his world became filled with people.... He was moved in the depths of his being.
Also within him was a storm that could be called nothing other than fury! The first time he raged with fury was when Sergeant Thunder died. The next time was when Grandmaster Bai was murdered. It happened again when his own older brother had killed Master Sixth, and he had learned the truth about Peerless City. The fourth time was when Grand Emperor Swordsage perished.
Today was the fifth time.
Now that he was awake, he could see the many flaws in the illusion he had just experienced. But his feelings had been real. Now he knew what it was like to lose everyone he cared about. He had felt the pain, and he had felt the emptiness which followed. Now that he was awake, the intensity of his anger was equivalent to the intensity of the pain he had experienced. And now, he felt no need to respond to the words spoken by this True God who was still in the process of returning.
His aura, his bloodshot eyes, and the intense fluctuations rolling off him, became a pure killing intent that filled him, filled his immortal embryo, and filled the Aura Immortal Palace. It erupted!
The starry sky trembled. Ripples flowed through the heaven beyond heaven. In this starry sky, Xu Qing’s immortal embryo was boundless. The Aurora Immortal Palace was clear within it, and all of that heaven-shaking, earth-shattering power was unleashed onto the half-person half-spider god!
Rumbling sounds echoed out that surpassed everything from before. Boundless immortal light shone from the immortal palace. As it fell, the returning True God tried to dodge. Unfortunately... hē had not yet returned, and was very weak.
At the same time, the backlash from hīs arts of godhood brought pain to hīs soul. Hē could not hold back from screaming in anguish. The full weight of a heaven beyond heaven was not something that hē, a weakened True God, could stand up to.
Because of all those various factors, there was no possible way hē could escape. The majestic immortal palace crushed down. The True God trembled under the force of the blow. Hē shrank down, golden blood spraying out. Cracks spread out across hīs body, and pain swept through hīm like storm winds.
