Chapter 597 - 270: Symphony of Flesh and Blood (Part 5)
Deep within the wounds, newly grown flesh buds, visible to the naked eye, writhed and grew madly as if infused with life.
They filled those terrifying, bone-deep chasms with astonishing speed!
The surface of the charred bones shone once more with a jade-like luster, weak yet tenaciously repairing the cracks.
The depleted sea of Qi felt as if new sources were poured into it, and a faint yet resilient Qi and Blood Power began to circulate anew!
Everything happened so quickly!
Almost at the moment when the ninth destructive Divine Thunder was about to touch Fang Qingyu’s body.
He completed an... anti-heavenly transformation from a near-death form to a brief peak.
BOOM——!!!
The ultimate Divine Thunder fell ferociously!
Engulfing Fang Qingyu’s silhouette completely.
"No——!!!"
Jiang Taixuan let out a scream of utmost despair!
It wasn’t because of pain!
But because... he saw it!
In the core area submerged in golden thunder...
A silhouette!
A figure, covered in blood and full of scars, yet stubbornly standing tall!
Like a rock never sinking amidst stormy seas!
In the destructive golden light, it forcibly... held firm!!!
"Impossible... Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!!!"
Jiang Taixuan’s sanity collapsed entirely!
He couldn’t comprehend!
This completely defied the Law of Life!
How could someone, exhausted and on the brink of death, unleash such incomprehensible Power at the last moment?!
Yet the reality unfolded before his eyes.
Fang Qingyu was alive.
Not only was he alive, he withstood the destructive ninth Divine Thunder!!!
What shattered Jiang Taixuan’s courage even more...
Was that as the omnipotence of the ninth Divine Thunder slowly dissipated.
The terrifying Heavenly Might, like a billion mountains crushing the Blood-colored Space...
Disappeared!
The invisible shackles on his soul and body...
Loosened!
Escape!
This thought flashed like lightning into Jiang Taixuan’s mind, almost filled with fear and malice.
Ignoring the tearing pain all over his body, disregarding why Fang Qingyu remained alive.
The instinct to survive overruled everything!
With his only remaining right arm and a barely mobile left leg, like a dying maggot, he summoned his last bit of strength and madly dashed toward the spot where the Taotie Blood Shadow had just been.
There!
Lay the only path to survival!
However.
Just as he painfully crawled to the edge of a crevice, with half his body about to enter that thick darkness...
A terrifying tremor as if originating from the Life Origin level, like an invisible tsunami, suddenly erupted behind him!
The feeling...
Was like an ancient God who’d been asleep for eons, slowly opening divine eyes at the ends of the universe!
Jiang Taixuan froze abruptly.
Like petrified, with a primal fear emanating from the depths of his soul, he turned his head...
Only to see at the center of the charred ruins ravaged by the ninth Divine Thunder.
Fang Qingyu’s silhouette still stood upright.
But at this moment, surrounding him was... Dark Gold Divine Thunder!
No longer damaging Fang Qingyu’s body.
But like serpents with life, gently coiling around his limbs and bones.
Wherever they passed, the charred dead skin flaked off rapidly, and ghastly wounds healed and smoothed with visible speed.
The burnt smell was replaced by a newborn freshness carrying the essence of thunder.
The terrifying wounds that had been deep enough to expose bone now only left shallow, pink scars.
Even the depletion of Qi and Blood from forcibly activating Blood Burst, the weakness threatening to tear his meridians apart, were being swiftly soothed and mended by this new Power.
Fang Qingyu slowly lifted his hands, gazing down at them.
In his palms, arcs of Dark Gold lightning flickered and danced like sprites.
He could distinctly feel that the wisp of Anomalous Thunder Origin belonging to the Bone-Eroding Thunder within him, at this moment, was being devoured by the vast and boundless Dark Gold Divine Thunder like a subject meeting their sovereign.
A sense of unprecedented, immense Power, as though capable of commanding the thunders of Heaven and Earth, was surging forth from every cell deep within his body.
Fang Qingyu’s consciousness, at this moment, seemed to detach from his battered shell, drawn by an invisible great force...
Crashing through some invisible barrier!
No longer before him was the charred and bloody space, nor the writhing Gluttonous Stomach.
Instead...
A vast, boundless... cosmic void!
Beneath lay a deep darkness adorned with countless distant and cold stars.
Massive meteor belts flowed silently in the void like rivers.
Fang Qingyu’s "consciousness" floated within this vast void, tiny as dust.
An indescribable loneliness and bewilderment engulfed him instantly.
Where is this?
Just as this thought arose within his consciousness...
BANG——!!!
An impossibly grand sound, existing since the birth of the universe, pierced endless time and space like thunder!
From afar to near, it exploded in the depths of Fang Qingyu’s "consciousness"!
Shortly after...
Endless, pure golden light unable to be directly gazed upon.
Like the first ray of creation, it tore through the endless darkness behind Fang Qingyu in an instant.
That light was so grand, so sacred...
Fang Qingyu turned fiercely!
Pupils contracted to the size of needle points instantly.
Behind him.
Deep amid the cosmic void, entirely illuminated by golden light...
A golden figure indescribable in its majesty!
Stood silently!
Its form seemed composed of the purest universal laws and golden thunder, so massive it surpassed the concept of stars.
Fang Qingyu couldn’t even "see" its contours, only able to feel an "existence".
An existence supreme, towering above all things!
Around it spiraled millions of golden thunder snakes brilliant as galaxies.
Seemingly in reach, yet as though at the universe’s end.
In its presence, time and space lost their meaning.
Fang Qingyu felt himself like dust floating at the feet of a giant, so small that even looking up was a blasphemy.
In the moment Fang Qingyu’s soul was utterly frozen by the indescribable pressure...
The infinitely grand golden figure slowly...
Lifted a single finger.
That finger, seemingly made from solidified galaxies, with creative thunder dancing at its tip.
Gliding gently towards Fang Qingyu, this minute speck...
Silently.
Only a sense of... a fate sealed, a space-time congealed absolute Will!
Fang Qingyu’s thoughts halted completely at this moment.
He could only watch helplessly as that golden finger imbued with immeasurable power, enlarged continuously in his view... enlarging further...
Finally...
It gently touched his "forehead".
Buzz——!!!
An indescribable, vast stream of information flooded into Fang Qingyu’s consciousness like a cosmic river breaking its dam!
Countless secrets about thunder, about the truths of destruction and rebirth...
Were engraved deeply within his soul’s Origin like a brand!
Meanwhile.
The ancient diagram suspended in the void of his consciousness erupted with unparalleled brilliant golden light!
The pages flipped wildly!
Finally freezing on an entirely new Chapter.
The ancient, dark-gold characters seemed to come alive, flowing and coalescing on the page:
