784 Treading Through the Thorns, Advancing Towards the Throne! (1)

The Ancient Spirit Emperors divine sense echoed through the entire Ancient Spirit World like thunder.

Not only could the listener hear it with their ears but they could also sense it with their minds. Even their souls would instinctively tremble under this divine sense.

That was the intimidation and suppression from life level.

The G.o.ds finger suddenly stiffened.

Fear erupted like a tide, transforming into grief, indignation, and despair that filled Its mind.

Xu Qings broken body also trembled under the lockdown of the divine sense.

Even though his body was extraordinary, it was still rapidly destroyed. His injuries were constantly expanding and the remaining divine power in him couldnt hold them back for too long.

However, Xu Qing didnt have the time to pay attention to his injuries. He tried his best to calm himself down.

He was aware that, at this moment, he couldnt make any direct moves that would anger the other party.

But before Xu Qing could speak, the Ancient Spirit Emperor showed impatience. His divine sense rumbled, causing the sky to darken further. The underworld river churned again, revealing countless bones that were horrifying to behold.

A majestic suction force erupted at this instant. It was like a huge vortex that enveloped Xu Qing, revealing greed and desire.

Xu Qings body trembled and the flesh on his body was instantly sucked away. The aura of life also rapidly scattered and he was gradually rotting.

The G.o.ds finger in his body wailed mournfully. Under this suction force, Its soul was dissipating, transforming into wisps of black fog that were extracted from Xu Qings entire body and gathered in the air, forming the shadow of an illusory finger.

The process was excruciatingly painful for the G.o.ds finger. It felt that Its life was really miserable.

It was clearly a G.o.d as well

However, Its main body had been devoured by the Crimson G.o.ddess, and now It was getting devoured as well. It didnt know what was going on. Its divine authority was misfortune, and yet misfortune had befallen upon Itself.

It struggled to break free, but it was futile. The more It resisted, the tighter the grip on It became as though It was a prey caught in a predators jaws.

More soul fog spread out from Xu Qings body.

From afar, these soul fog rose and distorted the surroundings, blurring the void around Xu Qing.

There was also the G.o.ds aura that emitted from the G.o.ds finger that had changed from illusory to corporeal.

Xu Qing fell silent. The Ancient Spirit Emperor wasnt only absorbing the G.o.ds finger, but also his life and divine essence.

As the other party continued to extract Its essence, the G.o.ds finger was falling from Its G.o.d status to the level of a cultivator.

Xu Qing wasnt surprised by the malicious intent of the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

The relations.h.i.+p between him and the Ancient Spirit Emperor wasnt harmonious to begin with. It was impossible for the other partys att.i.tude toward him to instantly change because of a piece of food.

This was also the reason why Xu Qing wasnt willing to use the Spirit Abyss Talisman unless it was absolutely necessary.

Those who drove tigers and devoured wolves were like walking on the edge of a cliff. If they were not careful, they would die at the bottom of the abyss.

However, his previous sincerity gave him a chance to talk at this moment.

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

Your Majesty, are you satisfied with the interest from before?

The Ancient Spirit Emperor ignored him. It was as though all His attention was on the snack above Xu Qing that was becoming clearer.

As for Xu Qings life that was also being extracted, the Ancient Spirit Emperor didnt care. It was like the sesame seeds that would make the snack more fragrant.

Seeing this, the G.o.ds finger fell into complete despair. Just as Its figure became clearer and was about to be completely extracted from Xu Qings body, Xu Qings voice rang out again without any fluctuations.

Your Majesty, what you are absorbing right now is not the second installment of interest. This is the tool that I will be borrowing from you temporarily, and if you take it back, there might not be any interest in the future.

Xu Qings words seemed to fall on deaf ears, and the Ancient Spirit Emperor didnt respond at all. However, as his words spread, the Ancient Spirit Emperors ma.s.sive eyes suddenly turned towards him with a hint of surprise.

Countless evil souls arrived from all directions and circled around while emitting an intense desire to devour.

All of this transformed into dense malice that spread through the world, forming an intense pressure that descended on Xu Qing.

Xu Qing calmly stared at the huge eye, ignoring the fact that his body had collapsed again. As blood flowed, his originally 300-foot-long body was now only the size of an ordinary person and had countless injuries.

Your Majesty, theres a lot of food outside but Im probably the only one whos willing to send them to you.

If you devour the tool you are lending to me and me as well, then the interest will be gone.

Xu Qings eyes were clear, and he didnt lie. He simply presented the owners.h.i.+p of the G.o.ds finger in a different way, allowing for smoother communication with the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

He believed that an existence like the Ancient Spirit Emperor could sense his sincerity.

If it werent for the intervention of the G.o.ds finger at the critical moment, Xu Qing wouldnt have been able to approach the fragmented-face of the Deputy Governor and teleport him to this place.

The suction force from the underworld river suddenly paused.

Only the sound of swallowing saliva repeatedly echoed, seemingly suppressing the intense hunger and greed emanating from within, sending s.h.i.+vers down ones spine.

Every living being who heard this sound would instinctively feel an overwhelming fear, as if they were about to be devoured and consumed as food.

The G.o.ds finger had materialized by about 80% now. Despite the despair, the realization that Xu Qing was trying to protect It stirred a mix of excitement, nervousness, and indescribable emotions within It.
