NOVEL WEB Chapter 294: Escape (Part 2)
If he didn't know what the Master of Cang Gui was up to, he might have actually believed the other party's lies.
Indeed.
After the civilization warfare ended, the Master of Cang Gui did not intend to harvest the territory space of the Mountain and Sea Realm. However, he did propose that he should go to the relics of a 2.9-level Civilization, pretending it was because of his high talent so as to help retrieve a treasure. It seemed beneficial to him, but in reality, the relics of that 2.9-level Civilization had been modified by the Star Abyss Monarch!
Once he entered, even the Three Holy Land Ancestors could not arrive through space-time to save him. He would be ambushed inside by the Primordial Emperor and the Star God, effectively ending his path to becoming a Chaos God.
Of course.
In the simulated future, he had long known that the Primordial Emperor was a Star Abyss Apostle who would act against him, so he had already been cautious—he asked the Ancestor of Space-Time Island to hide in his Inner Void, which was what saved him.
Otherwise, he would undoubtedly die, and even if he could be resurrected, he would lose his Divine State and completely forfeit his chance to compete for a position as a Chaos God.
"What?"
The Master of Cang Gui asked in confusion, "Mr. Lin Qing doesn't believe me? We can make a contract first; the terms are actually very simple. I just think Mr. Lin Qing's talent is sufficiently high. I had previously discovered the relics of a 2.9-level Civilization, and there is a treasure land inside that requires high talent, so I want to ask Mr. Lin Qing to help retrieve a treasure."
He sincerely said, "I only want that treasure, and if Mr. Lin Qing gains anything else in those ruins, it also belongs to Mr. Lin Qing."
The heart of the Master of Cang Gui, however, was secretly laughing: "Such generous conditions, I don't believe he can resist them?"
Although he didn't know why the great Star Abyss Monarch wanted him to trick Lin Qing into that 2.9-level Civilization's relics, he didn't need to think hard to know it must be because Lin Qing had the potential for being a Chaos God!
Throughout the epochs, why was the birth of Chaos Gods so rare?
Besides the extremely high difficulty of becoming a Chaos God, the key was that the Star Abyss Monarch also constantly selected apostolic envoys within the Void Sea and once he discovered a Child of Chaos with potential to become a Chaos God, he would nip them in the bud!
Even if they were merely a normal Child of Chaos, the Star Abyss Monarch would offer bounties to eliminate them!
After all, the Star Abyss Monarch saw the Void Sea as a banquet dish. Once the Universe Origin energy accumulated within the Void Sea was ample enough, he would begin a Great Annihilation to harvest.
The birth of a Chaos God, however, requires consuming an enormous amount of Universe Origin energy, this delays the accumulation rate of Universe Origin energy, making the Star Abyss Monarch have to wait longer to initiate the Great Annihilation.
A Star God with potential like Lin Qing would almost certainly become a Child of Chaos in the future, with even some hope of becoming a Chaos God, how could the Star Abyss Monarch possibly let go?
Therefore, the Master of Cang Gui also understood that as long as Lin Qing agreed to help him go to that 2.9-level Civilization relics, then his fate would likely be the same as those previous Children of Chaos.
But how did this concern him?
"Only by helping the great Monarch with his tasks can I survive the Great Annihilation and live into the next era..."
The Master of Cang Gui pondered silently, "Although I can't stay in this Void Sea anymore, once discovered by the Three Ancestors I would undoubtedly die, I can pray to the great Monarch to transfer me to another Void Sea..."
With his strength, he could manage well in any of them.
"As long as I deal with Lin Qing, that's enough..." The Master of Cang Gui was filled with anticipation.
"I find it quite curious..."
Suddenly, Lin Qing slowly opened his mouth, with a trace of mockery in his eyes: "Why are you so certain that I would definitely lose?"
"Hmm?" The Master of Cang Gui slightly frowned, then relaxed his brow, shaking his head: "Does Mr. Lin Qing still refuse to give up? Planning to make a move and try?"
He sighed, and the dark flame that encircled his body suddenly burned fiercely, the terrifying power of the flame even burning through space, creating holes one by one.
"Since Mr. Lin Qing does not give up..." The Master of Cang Gui sighed: "Then I will not kill Mr. Lin Qing, I will only use a tenth of my strength, as long as you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Lin Qing suddenly move, his entire form erupting into terrifying, endless dark golden light, a power so horrifying it burst forth like a rolling great sun, instantly causing space within a nearby several thousand kilometers to completely collapse!
"Boom!!"
At the same time, the endless dark golden light congealed to form an enormous hand shadowing the sky and fiercely struck towards the Master of Cang Gui!
The Master of Cang Gui's face suddenly changed, fully feeling the terrifying power within that great sun, and immediately desperately urged his strongest life-saving divine skill, the dark flame also madly condensed, becoming a dignified dark armor!
"Bang!!"
With a single slap from the enormous hand, the dark demon fire armor covering the Master of Cang Gui's surface immediately shattered inch by inch, rapidly breaking nearly completely.
The Master of Cang Gui, always confident in his physical body, was also instantly half-collapsed, his life force plummeting, his breath weakening drastically.
Even though life force at the Void stage could be restored at any time, he felt he came close to being completely slapped to death by this single slap!
"Whoosh!"
The dark flame burned fiercely, and the Master of Cang Gui used his life-saving secret technique to instantly traverse tens of millions of kilometers, distancing himself, looking at Lin Qing from afar, face pale and eyes full of disbelief.
"You..." The Master of Cang Gui's lips moved, face pale, "Your strength..."
Although he did not have a Chaos Divine Artifact, he had obtained a precious Bloodline Treasure, with a Genetic Index exceeding the Cosmic Standard by eighty thousand times, and had cultivated several Dominator Level Secret Techniques to the extreme, this combination allowed him to possess top-tier Star Abyss 20-layer strength!
Generally, without any fortuitous encounters or Chaos Divine Artifacts, the strength of a Void Divine Positioner would at most be at the peak of Star Abyss 19-layers, or barely 20-layers, far inferior to him.
But he was almost slapped to death by this young fellow who had just recently become a Void Dominator?
"He... is skilled in World God Body Divine Skills, and only displayed a single hand?"
The more the Master of Cang Gui thought, the more fearful he became, "If he used a Complete Form, wouldn't I have died just now? How could this be? Impossible... how could he have such strength?"
This had already far exceeded all his expectations.
Originally, he thought Lin Qing's strength, as shown shortly before on the Main Star, was only around the lower levels of the Star Abyss 19-layer, unable to withstand even a casual strike from him.
Yet now, it turned out he couldn't withstand a casual strike from the other party?
"Retreat!"
The Master of Cang Gui immediately made this somewhat humiliating decision in his mind, "Without an avatar for life-saving, if the fight continues, I'll die!"
At once, he performed his best escape divine skill, combined with a secret technique, his whole being turning into a stream formed of dark flames, piercing through heavy spacetime, beginning to rush to the entrance of the Master of Civilization battlefield at a speed of billions of kilometers per second!
He was originally renowned for his speed, and at his speed, he could exit in two or three seconds!
The powerful figures of various civilizations outside the battlefield were completely stunned.
This time, it was even more shocking than their discovery of the three hundred Mountain and Sea Guards in the Mountain and Sea Realm. The Guards clearly had cultivated some precious secret technique, though powerful, they could understand that.
However, Lin Qing's cultivation years and changes in strength as the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm was publicly acknowledged.
Yet now, after a simple exchange, the Master of Cang Gui was severely injured and then fled in a panic?
This was simply too incredible!
"Escape?"
At this point, Lin Qing had fully displayed the Complete Form of the World God and looked at the distant dark fire meteor, his lips curving upward slightly.
Even without using the suit-type Chaos Divine Artifact 'Silent Vacuum', the sheer power of the World God allowed him to reach the highest pinnacle of Star Abyss 20-layer strength, not to mention the total transformation of his Black Flame Clan's Avatar, causing a dramatic increase in his power after unification.
He didn't even need to use the Divine Artifact or perform the Supreme Secret Technique of the City Lord Lan!
"Wu Jiu..."
The next moment, Lin Qing and his World God Body, along with a grayish airflow, instantly vanished without a trace.
Then, in just a moment, he traversed millions of miles and appeared directly in front of the Master of Cang Gui.
"Boom!"
His hands struck together like swatting a fly, fervently clapping the palms fiercely together!
