Celestial Peak Chapter 505
Advertisement
Yuan Qing's body was in tatters. Her bones were sticking out, but she chose to move instead. She couldn't properly get up, so she began crawling on the ground. She moved very little, her advancement could not amount to anything, but, she managed to open the door and reach a particular room.
The room had two unconscious individuals, one was the Sword God presumably knocked out cold and the other was Wang Ling.
Yuan Qing stumbled as she tried her best to stand, she walked over to Wang Ling's side and got on her knees. She moved her hands and touched Wang Ling's forehead, waking him up.
Open…
"Don't!" Wang Ling's voice echoed inside the room. He called out for Butler Sun wanting to argue but all he met was a wooden wall. Wang Ling fell, his body weak he had no strength to call for, but that didn't matter to him.
"Qing!? What happen—wait, your, vitality… your qi… did you use it all to wake me up? Dammit! What were you thinking? You and Ming knocked me out and now you're risking your life to wake me up? I thought you were smart, but it appears that even I could be wrong in judging others."
The smell of blood filled the room, not his, but from Yuan Qing, barely keeping conscious. She… gave Wang Ling all her qi and vitality, "I want to know what happened but for now try not to say anything just accept my qi. Dammit, if you're like this, that means the others are also in the worst conditions. I better be quick."
Wang Ling brought out his needles ready to care for Yuan Qing, but, she grabbed his hand and stopped him from doing anything.
"Don't… waste… time… and go."
"Huh? Go where?" Wang Ling shrugged Yuan Qing's hand and proceeded with the treatment.
"The Young Mis… she stayed back in order to give us the time to escape… please… help the Young Miss… she won't… last long if you don't…" Yuan Qing coughed up blood.
But despite the pain, she was under she continued to speak and the more she did… the slower Wang Ling moved. In the end, he stopped moving altogether and just looked at Yuan Qing, asking her, "Is this true?"

"I swear… in the name… of the mother of Beast."
===
At this moment, Qinyang felt like she was invincible. This was the first time she actually the power she had inside her without restrictions… it felt absolutely magnificent.
Yan Renhuo's pain disappeared and in front of her was Qinyang, looking over at the distant horizon watching the Devil Revenant casually regrowing his arm.
"Are you all right?" Qinyang gently asked to which she nodded his response, "Then, that is good to know. I apologize but, I already sent the others away. Please, you should leave as well, the Revenant is—"
BOOM!
A pillar of black qi came after the resounding explosion reached their ears. Like a serpent, the pillar devoured Qinyang and Yan Renhuo.
Slash!
But the sound of a sword cutting through space sounded out, slashing the pillar of Hellish Qi. The light disappeared and from behind was the Devil Revenant, holding a sword, while on each side were a spear and bow.
He was not smiling, a passive expression meant to be seen by no one. Anyone who could see this version of Wang Ling would die. This was him absolutely passing the point of being livid that he turns that pent-up aggression into that of absolute calmness sending his senses further up, "Blood Seeking Sword: Blood Falls."
Qinyang shifted her weight forwards and dove straight into the attack. It was a ludicrous move, but a pair of Vermillion wings appeared on her back, and with a flap, her posture twisted, missing her completely.
Qinyang appeared before the Revenant, face to face, with so few as a few millimeters separating them, "I've seen that technique already… True Heralding Art: Phoenix Talons."
No sword was used only her fingers. Her nails extended, and then, vermillion flames moved. The Revenant moved his God's mark, but it was too late, his right abdomen was pierced through, Qinyang felt the destruction of organs.
"Blood Seeking Sword: Culling River." From a failed downwards movement, the Revenant went and moved his sword up. From the deepest south to the northernmost mountains, it reached.
Of course, Qinyang tried to run away, but her arm was trapped by the Revenant's muscles.

"Checkma—"
SLASH!
Qinyang severed her arm completely. The Revenant's eyes brightened; he did not think he would meet someone like her in this place, but, he did, he was glad, "You're good."
"Thank you."
BAM!
Qinyang struck the Revenant with her shoulder and blew him away!
"Escape and recuperate, you can do what you want from there. Don't try assisting me… I can't fully assimilate the Hellish Qi in your body, so it should have remnants still, also… you'll only slow me down." She stated before regrowing her severed arm and meeting the oncoming danger.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With her barehand Qinyang deflected three spiritual arrows from the Revenant.
BOOM!
On the fourth, her deflection, however, her hand was pierced by a spear mixed into the rest. Her face twisted, but instead of saying anything, Qinyang just tore the spear out of her body.
"True Heralding Art: Piercing Darkness."
Swoosh!
The spear was sent back where it came from! The Revenant saw this and caught it mid-air and, at that moment, darkness wrapped around his arm and then the body, restricting his movement, "Darkness Qi? Isn't that—"
While his mind wandered, Qinyang was already right in front of him.
Gathering her qi in her mouth, she released pure azure qi, "True Heralding Art: Origin Water World Prison!"
Water qi was used by a Phoenix and while stupefied water surrounded the Revenant!
SKRRR!
And the roar of the waters was followed by the howls of lightning, "True Heralding Art: Origin Lightning Lacerating the Heavens!"
The lightning of the Azure Dragons descended into the world attacking the Revenant!
The Revenant experience the lightning of the Heavens with the Water and Darkness of the Black Turtles. He was in pain, it hurt him so much… yet he smiled, for he just realized that before him was no mere Deity.
The Revenant felt his blood boiling, his spirit whirred, his entire being roared in happiness, he could feel it now more than before! The blood flowing through her veins, the qi that allowed her to do all this!
"GAHAHAHAHAH!!" the Devil Revenant cackled as his body was toasted by Qinyang's lightning. However, just before he died, he gathered his qi into his throat mouth and amplified his voice, "THE CREATOR'S BLOOD HERE!"
Qinyang did not know what he was doing, but as she scoffed in disgust, she moved her hand once more, "True Heralding Art: Origin Frost Tundral Desolation—"
Fwu!
The prison where the Devil Revenant was kept froze and then she broke it with the Devil Revenant inside.
"Try coming back from that."
Qinyang felt exhausted and she collapsed on the ground…
She was almost without strength, her breath ragged and her qi almost depleted.
She was not used to using this much power. The qi inside her was sealed because she didn't have full control of it yet. It was a massive boost in qi and power… but, it cost her a lot.
However, she could finally heave a sigh of relief with this, "It's over… I actually protected them successfully… I did it. It seems like I didn't have to make them go ahead after all. I controlled I properly too."
She laughed as she stood up from where she sat. She intended to go after the Sailer, she laughed, "I may be going against the orders of Mother… but with this… I'd be able to tell him directly… I don't need to beat around the bush anymore."
She laughed wryly because finally, she would be able to tell him the truth. She needed not to wait for him to awaken his true self, she could tell him who she was to him.
HONG!
She laughed in relief, but the world was not so simple. The very foundation of the Origin World trembled and the sound of a bell resounded all over the Origin World and when Qinyang turned around, she saw the closed Domain opening, and from within, was the Holy King Revenants who all evolved to be Holy Emperor Revenants floating, looking at her with maniacal smiles on their faces.
"CREATOR'S BLOOD!"
In the end… she cried and the Holy Emperors all darted to her, seeking her life and very existence.

In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives.

When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core.
