King Loulan's palace.
The seven warriors knelt on the ground piously, surrounding King Loulan in the center in a seven-pointed star formation.
This top human expert's eyes were deep and his face was pitch black. He quietly looked at Ji Xianqing, who was walking over step by step from outside the palace.
"Father." Ji Yanqing didn't kneel. Her voice was cold. Both of them knew that the other person wasn't their father or daughter.
And tonight, the game of putting on a show should end.
"What a nostalgic voice. Although I know you're not Jin 'er, I still feel like she's standing in front of me again." King Loulan closed his eyes and sighed softly. A thick aura of disaster flowed around his body. Even a normal person could tell that something was wrong.
This was a sign of a high degree of disaster. The same was true for the seven warriors who had sworn to follow him to the death.
This was also one of the reasons why they didn't easily appear in front of other people in the ancient capital.
The eight strongest people in Loulan's ancient capital had all fallen into the disaster camp. This was a devastating blow to the human race.
"She was killed by you several eras ago. How does it feel to kill your own daughter over and over again after countless reincarnations?" Ji Yanqing sneered. Because the Goddess of Disaster had granted her the status of a princess, she could empathize with this princess who had met a tragic end.
Even at the moment of her death, she still couldn't accept that she was her father.
Endless resentment and confusion accumulated in her memories. Even after thousands of years, she still couldn't forget this pain even though she had almost forgotten who she was.
"Even if I didn't kill her, she would have died in the invasion later on. Perhaps her ending would have been even more tragic." King Loulan shook his head. "You don't understand. As long as we obtain Loulan's treasure, we can be freed from the cycle of reincarnation. The new king will grant us resurrection. Jin 'er will also be resurrected."
"Resurrection from the dead? You still believe in such nonsense?" Ji Yanqing laughed loudly. "If people can really be resurrected after death, then what's the meaning of life? Several level 9 players have died in the seven continents over the past few centuries. Even they couldn't escape the fate of old age, sickness, and death. Can those disasters who can't even speak the human language? "
"Idiot! That was another life form. No matter how strong a human was, their lifespan couldn't last for a thousand years. But the Calamities were different. They had a new form of existence, their minds were indestructible, and their bodies could be replaced countless times. Only by transcending the rules can one walk towards eternal life. " King Loulan looked at Ji Yanqing. In his eyes, she was nothing more than a hot-blooded little girl. His eyes were filled with sorrow and sympathy. "Immortality is our true pursuit."
"Looks like we can't communicate anymore. Let's fight. Only the winner has the right to know the whereabouts of Loulan's treasure." Ji Yanqing strode forward and put on her exquisite boxing gloves. She tore the hem of her dress, revealing her fair and slender legs.
"It's pitiful, lamentable, and sad. You came to this closed World of Samsara again and again, but no one could truly understand the secrets of the Loulan Kingdom." A bright light flashed through King Loulan's eyes. The Loulan Treasury was something he had been searching for for countless years. He had died in the final calamity during his lifetime, so he could not rest in peace.
Now that he had become a part of the World of Samsara controlled by the Goddess of Calamity, he had enough time to search for the mystery of the Loulan Kingdom's treasure.
The Goddess of Calamity, who had invested a large number of people in this place, was also the same. Even the trial takers like Ji Yanqing also wanted to obtain this treasure.
The Goddess of Calamity had perfectly replicated that time and space, which meant that she had also preserved the whereabouts of the Loulan Treasury. This was the method the seven ancient martial arts veins used to seal the calamities. It was extremely important to both sides.
"Warrior Seven, go and meet the warriors that my daughter brought." King Loulan looked behind Ji Yanqing. There were several auras hidden there. They wanted to launch a surprise attack, but they were underestimating his perception.
"Yes! Your Majesty! " The seven warriors slowly stood up. Looking at the seven ancient martial arts aristocratic families, Ji Yanqing felt like a bottle of mixed feelings had been knocked over. She was filled with emotions.
Who would have known that the seven ancient martial arts veins who had always shouldered heavy responsibilities were actually the descendants of sinners?
Their ancestors had died in Loulan, so it was strange that they hadn't passed down the will of King Loulan.
Now that their hiding place had been exposed, Li Xiang's group of four decided to walk out.
Eight against five. They were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, but the seven warriors weren't strong individually. It was only because they had transformed into calamities that they had the strength to contend against them.
Outside the palace, flames lit up everywhere. King Loulan was clearly planning to settle all these outsiders in one go. However, things didn't end as easily as he had expected. The trial takers came from various universities and were all elites among elites. This was especially true for the students of the Zero Hour Source Form. They quickly took charge and became the leaders of the group.
The seven warriors quickly surrounded the four of them, leaving only Ji Yanqing to face King Loulan alone.
"King Loulan's battle prowess has reached Level 3. Chen Fan, go help Wanqing. We'll take care of us, "Li Xiang said coldly. He blocked three people by himself. Atsushi Amakusa and Ai Yakumo each faced two people.
"Okay!" At this time, Chen Fan naturally wouldn't be polite to Li Xiang. He was the only Level 3 magician present. The others were all Level 1. No matter how strong Ji Yanqing was, she definitely wouldn't be a match for King Loulan in a one-on-one.
Li Xiang blocked the warriors of Chanlu Temple, Ise Clan, and Yao Clan. Li Xiang had interacted with the descendants of the latter two quite a few times, so he knew their martial arts like the back of his hand. Only the Chanlu Temple Clan had been in dire straits by the time the Tian Yin sisters passed it down. There weren't many secret techniques left behind.
The Chanlu Temple warrior was a bald monk. He wore a shabby kasaya and held a silver-white staff in his hand. When he waved it around, it created a gust of wind.
The Ise Clan warrior's figure disappeared into the darkness. A ninja's ninjutsu was known for its surprise attacks and one-hit kills. When she disappeared, a faint fragrance filled the air. At first, one would think that it was her body's fragrance, but it was actually a knockout fragrance with a strong seductive effect.
Li Xiang had seen this ninjutsu from the Ise Shizuko before.
The Yao Clan martial artist who was charging towards them swung his fists. His moves were simple but powerful. Even though he only had the Level 1 Magician Body Constitution, the strength of his fists was still shocking. A normal Magician would not be able to withstand a direct hit.
This was the famous fist technique of the Yao Clan. Yao Lie and Yao Ji had good attainments in this technique and had inherited it from this ancestor.
Li Xiang raised a single hand, and under the shocked gazes of the three, he blocked the Yao Family martial artist's heavy punch. His body did not move an inch, and at that moment, they realized that this young man's combat power was far above the rest.
Atsushi Amakusa and Ai Yakumo were having a hard time fighting one against two. Especially since they had the aura of disaster, it would affect their performance.
However, not only was Li Xiang's strength overwhelming them, his aura wasn't chaotic at all.
Just as the Yao Clan martial artist was still in shock, Li Xiang's other hand struck out like lightning, sending a fist straight into the martial artist's abdomen. Almost his entire arm had penetrated the martial artist's abdomen, destroying all his organs in an instant.
"Wah!" The Yao Clan warrior spat out a mouthful of blood. The mutant egg in his abdomen struggled violently but was swallowed by a faint golden aura. It didn't even have the chance to dodge.
"You, you …" He stared at Li Xiang with his eyes wide open. His face was filled with fear, but he couldn't finish his sentence.
After killing the Yao Clan warrior with a thunderous strike, Li Xiang didn't stop. With a twist of his arm, the Blood Clan daimyo blocked the attack of the monk staff.
"Die!" The Ise Shizuko shouted flirtatiously from behind. She was hiding in the chilly wind, and her ghostly cries and howls covered her movements. However, just as she came into contact with Li Xiang, she felt dizzy. All the mutants attached to her body fled in all directions crazily.
The effect of Purification of Filth was enough to intimidate these weak mutants.
The Ise Shizuko wasn't like the others who had powerful mutants in their bodies. She took a different approach and kept absorbing many weak mutants to win with numbers. Hence, in every battle, she seemed to be leading an army.
Unfortunately, the Purification of Filth that Li Xiang had learned happened to be the nemesis of this type of mutants.
Those mutants were all expelled as soon as they got close to him. Only the Ise Shizuko suddenly appeared behind him.
The dagger didn't manage to pierce Li Xiang's body.
The sharp poisonous stinger pierced her heart first. She looked at Li Xiang's side profile in a daze. Her entire body went limp on his back. She couldn't understand how this calm young man saw through her ninjutsu and killed her so quickly.
Of course, she didn't know that Li Xiang had simulated countless life-and-death battles with the current most outstanding successor of the Ise Clan at Lighthouse Academy. Shizuko's research and application of ninjutsu was unparalleled in the world. She had long surpassed her predecessors.
It was because of this that she could see more clearly than the other members of her clan. Ninjutsu was not very effective in high-level battles. It was far less applicable than magic. Hence, she gave up on practicing ninjutsu and changed to fighting with ninjutsu as a supplement.
And the Ise Shizuko's little trick was laughable in Li Xiang's eyes.
He pulled out the poisonous stinger. Facing the furious Chanlu Temple martial artist, he didn't immediately kill her.
Seeing Li Xiang kill two martial artists by himself, everyone present was shocked.
Especially King Loulan. It wasn't difficult for him to deal with the cooperation of Chen Fan and Ji Yanqing, but Li Xiang's terrifying combat strength shocked him.
Because they felt that there was no hope for them to improve, they were willing to abandon their human identities and fall into the disaster camp. They used their disaster bodies to once again reach the peak of humanity. However, facing Li Xiang, who was also a human, the two powerful martial artists couldn't resist at all.
Even King Loulan himself couldn't kill two martial artists so easily.
The Chanlu Temple martial artist's attacks fell like raindrops, but they were always easily resolved. After fighting for a long time, he deeply felt a sense of powerlessness and despair.
Their combat strength wasn't on the same level.
Li Xiang kept him here to observe the Chanlu Temple's ancient martial arts.
It was too wasteful for such a good physical technique to be used by a traitor. If he could learn it back and pass it down to Tianyin and the others, he might be able to slowly revitalize the ancient martial arts family.
Although their ancestors had become traitors, their descendants had made great contributions to humanity. There was no need for them to pay for the sins of their ancestors for generations to come.
Bang!
After observing how to use the monk staff, Li Xiang shot out his spear and sent the Chanlu Temple martial artist flying. Then, he turned around and prepared to help Atsushi Amakusa and Ai Yakumo.
At that moment, a violent roar shook the palace. Li Xiang felt the blood and Qi in his body suddenly surge. He actually felt like he was being provoked.
The unprecedented agitation and uncontrollable domineering killing intent surged out of his body.
This was a sense of danger that would only erupt when facing a similar origin.
Li Xiang stopped in his tracks and suddenly looked up. He happened to see the disheveled King Loulan expanding continuously. His body was like a ball of meat that was getting bigger and bigger.
"Roar roar roar!!!" The crazed King Loulan roared like a wild beast. This wasn't a sound that a human could make.
Chen Fan, who was full of fighting spirit just a moment ago, was suddenly sent flying by a punch. His body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, blood spurting out of his mouth.
Ji Yanqing, who had removed all her bandages and unleashed her Ancient Martial Mark, was also intimidated by this aura. She retreated step by step, blood draining from her face.
King Loulan's sudden madness instantly put them in a dangerous situation.
'This is a sign of complete disasterization …' Li Xiang narrowed his eyes as he observed. When a disasterized human was unable to control the expanding power in his body, he might be corroded by the creature that possessed him. If it was a mutant, he would become a borderline mutant or a host for that mutant. He would lose his humanity.
However, if his opponent was a disaster, he would turn into a walking corpse and become a walking clone of that disaster.
It was just like Finis City.
In any case, he would become a tool in the end. He would lose his human consciousness and humanity.
"Pop —"
There was a soft pop.
King Loulan's stomach split open just like that. His swollen stomach was like a pregnant woman who was about to give birth to life. When his stomach exploded, his blood and Qi were wildly absorbed. His body instantly withered and shriveled like a balloon that had burst. It shrank.
All his flesh, blood, bones, and organs were absorbed by the little body in his stomach.
Within the flesh and blood, a petite little girl who was so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly slowly opened her eyes. She sized up this strange and novel world.
Her eyes were scarlet. They were filled with faint purple and dark red.
The aura that came from the Origin puzzled her greatly.
The little girl sized them up one by one. Then, she fixed her gaze on Li Xiang. That familiar aura came from this human.
Origin. It was a pure Origin aura.
They had a very similar aura, but she did not know what it was.
Li Xiang, who had somehow fallen into a berserk state of blood and Qi, managed to stabilize his own aura with great difficulty. He rarely lost control. The only time he could remember was when he had landed on the beach at the border of City 0010. The faint golden aura in his body had suddenly madly absorbed the disaster aura.
The blood explosion this time clearly came from his rejection and vigilance toward the Origin aura.
Li Xiang had inherited Lancelot's and Bai Lili's inheritances, but he had also swapped out his heart. Later on, he had even used the Primordial Array to modify the disaster heart. The original owner's consciousness had escaped from his body and burrowed into Fenix's body.
After such a long period of evolution, the faint golden aura had already become his Origin aura. However, the many imprints that had once been mixed within it could not be dispersed.
Apart from Bai Lili and Lancelot's inheritances, only the disaster heart could be used as an Origin aura.
From the looks of it, Lancelot had inherited the mechanical roulette and everything from the Wessex family. Bai Lili had only given him the Bai family's bloodline at most. However, these were not the reasons that had caused his blood explosion.
The little girl in front of him had suddenly appeared in King Loulan's stomach and caused his blood explosion because of the Origin aura left behind by the disaster heart!
Even if this aura had been modified and assimilated, the Origin aura would not change!
"She's not an Origin Form clone, nor is she a spirit projection. She really exists!" Ji Yanqing was shocked.
She was the true owner of the disaster heart!
