Chapter 776
Heavy fluctuations of saint energy circled in the air, while a surly and unyielding pressure exploded instantly. At that moment, Zhou Weiqing felt his mind go blank.
But in the eyes of the Goddess of Nature, everything had turned to grey.
The overwhelming force of death instantly appeared in the Elven Queen's heart. Almost a moment later, a loud shriek exploded from the Goddess of Nature's throat. A strong green light wrapped her body into a large green crystal. At the same time, twelve cracks formed out of thin air not too far away from the crystallized body and twelve elderly figures appeared behind the crystal. Then, twelve rays of green light simultaneously entered the crystal.
"Ding!"
The sound caused the Elf Tribe's sealed land to tremble, even causing the enclosed space around it to rattle.
The handle of the Demon God Sword, which Zhou Weiqing was unable to take a good look at, seemed to disappear into thin air. At most, he could sense a grey shadow and the green crystal containing the Goddess of Nature gentle touch, before disappearing.
Then, the Demon God summoned by Zhou Weiqing followed suit and disappeared into thin air, exposing all six of their bodies.
Zhou Weiqing's face drained of color. The string of fights may have happened very quickly, but they were rather complex to him. Ever since he reached the Heavenly Emperor-tier, this was the first time he had experienced such a great depletion. He almost could not withstand it.
The crystal and the twelve figures in mid-air seemed to be frozen in place.
Zhou Weiqing looked unhappy. He could already guess that the Elven Queen must be at the stage of Heavenly God. Besides, the twelve figures that appeared behind her, at least four of them would be at the at the apex of the Heavenly Emperor Tier if they were not already Heavenly Emperors.
The members of the Elf Tribe only reach adulthood by their hundredth year, and at one glance, one could tell that these elders already had one foot in their graves. How long had they lived for, to be at that age? The power of the Elf Tribe was far more terrifying than what Shangguan Xue'er had described. At this moment, the strength depletion between him and his five wives was no small number. If this Elven Queen could still maintain her Goddess of Nature state, and continue her attacks, it is highly likely that he could only use the air nebula to escape as soon as possible. After all, he could not just sit here and await death.
Just as Zhou Weiqing's heart began a string of changes, the large crystal in the sky began to display a hint of change.
One soft bursting noise was heard, but it came out of the twelve figures at the same time. Their bodies flew backward, and every one of them began spitting out grey-colored breaths. That's right, they were not spitting out blood, but grey breaths. The sight of it was certainly bizarre.
Then came an ear-piercing, shattering noise. Cracks began appearing on the green crystal. That was a hundred foot tall, rhombus-shaped crystal! Imagine the mind-blowing shock they all had as they witnessed the thick, long, snake-like cracks appearing continuously.
Finally, following a violent blast, numerous green lights turned into thick breaths of life had emitted into the air. A figure came into view in mid-air.
It was no longer the silhouette of the Goddess of Nature, soaring ten feet high, but a six meter tall, dainty and exquisite girl with two transparent wings on her back.
She had long ears, long aquamarine hair just like the Goddess of Nature, and dark blue eyes. Even her clothes were exactly alike. At one glance, she looked like a miniature version of the Goddess of Nature. Even her features were no different from the Goddess of Nature.
Except, she now looked extremely unsightly — pale and white like a piece of paper, worse than how Zhou Weiqing looked. Her body swayed in the air, and the wings behind her expanded. This forced her to control herself from falling to the ground. Her beautiful, dark blue eyes were now filled with shock.
Zhou Weiqing heaved a large sigh of relief. Based on the current situation, it was obvious that the Elven Queen has suffered quite a substantial loss. Meanwhile, at the same time, a sense of pride rose spontaneously. After all, the opposition was at the stage of Heavenly God! Furthermore, it was not at the simple basic level either. In the end, she even summoned twelve Elf Tribe elders for help in order to forcibly block the Demon God Sword's attack. To top it off, he was only a Heavenly Jewel Master at the Heavenly Emperor Stage. To have achieved such a result in battle certainly deserves a sense of pride.
Of course, Zhou Weiqing knew it himself. That Demon God Sword cannot be summoned whenever he wished. However, after experiencing the Demon God Sword's terrifying power, a flame was ignited in his heart. If, one day, he was truly able to control the power of the Demon God Sword, then what else would he be, besides invincible?
"What are you? How could you possibly have control over the Demon God Sword? Not even the Heavenly Demon Sect Master would ever be able to do it." The Elven Queen's voice rang aloud. At the same time, she waved her fair hand in the air, and a scepter appeared in it. A faint green light appeared once again. It was just like she said, this was the Sealed Land of the Elf Tribe. It held a great amount of life energy. In one quick sweep, she enveloped herself and the twelve Elf Tribe elders within. It was clear for all to see, that a large amount of life energy was entering their bodies continuously. No one knew if it was to heal their wounds or to replenish their cultivation base.
Honestly speaking, it was Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy that provided a rather large influence. If it were to be another Heavenly Jewel Master, he would never have been able to absorb the Natural Element in a place like this, especially when faced with the Elven Queen. Only Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy could utilize this stage and forcibly absorb it all.
As for the Demon God summoned by Zhou Weiqing earlier on, it was not through the immediate usage of Star Energy, but also due to this parallel space. He wasn't sure of whether he could truly summon Star Energy in this parallel space, and use it for battle. So, he thought of the Demon God. After all, his cultivation base had now entered Heavenly Emperor stage, and would clearly have greater power in controlling the Demon God and the following battle had proved this. Except, unfortunately, he still had no way to truly control the Demon God into entering battle. Far from the Elven Queen's control over the Goddess of Nature.
"My name is Zhou Weiqing, hailing from Heavenly Bow Empire. Your Majesty, may we speak peacefully? As you can see as well, I may not be able to defeat you all, but, if we wish to leave, I believe you would not be able to stop us."
Zhou Weiqing's cordial but independent voice rang throughout the vast space. At the same time, a faint, pure gold light illuminated from within his being, enveloping him and his five wives in its radiance.
He had no choice but to release his Star Energy, for he was brazenly stealing the Natural Elements in the air from the Elven Queen, for his own recovery. Otherwise, if everyone on the opposing team were to achieve full recovery, and if his party members were still depleted, he may not be able to escape at all.
Seeing the pure gold Star Energy surrounding Zhou Weiqing, the Elven Queen violently narrowed her pupils. She murmured, "Zhou Weiqing? Zhou Weiqing. This name is very familiar. I seem to have heard it before. You are… Could this be… Ah! I remember."
The Elven Queen began muttering to herself continuously, even Zhou Weiqing was unable to make sense of the matter. It was also this moment when the Elven Queen looked as if she had come to a realization, and her eyes, gazing upon Zhou Weiqing, softened.
"Do you know Phelia?" The Elven Queen's words shocked Zhou Weiqing at the same time.
Zhou Weiqing stared at her in astonishment, "Of course I do. She's my mother-in-law."
Tian'er could not contain herself, "Your Majesty, you know my mother?"
At that moment, the Elven Queen's expression glowed with warmth. She looked at Tian'er and nodded, "You must be Tian'er."
Tian'er quickly nodded, staring at the Elven Queen with surprise, "You've really met my mother?"
The Elven Queen gently nodded her head. Gazing upon Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er, her eyes were filled with disbelief, "You actually managed to cultivate Saint Energy. This is simply unbelievable, and your cultivation base had even reached this stage. When I met Phelia a year ago, she only told me that you had a chance at finding a way to cultivate Saint Energy. I never expected this. I really never expected this at all."
"Your Majesty, could you tell me where my mother is?" Tian'er asked with a hint of impatience.
To any child, the loss of a mother's love at a young age is the greatest pain of all, and Tian'er's longing for her mother's love was incomparably strong.
The Elven Queen gently shook her head, "I'm sorry, but I cannot tell you where she is. Even if I did, you would not be able to get there. However, since you now have Saint Energy, perhaps you can help us."
Zhou Weiqing's gaze shifted when he heard her say 'us', instead of referring to Phelia in particular.
As she spoke, the Elven Queen led twelve sick-looking Elf Tribe elders and descended from the sky, landing in front of Zhou Weiqing and the rest.
The oldest-looking Elf Tribe elder shuffled closely behind her and whispered, "Your Majesty, the princess…"
The Elven Queen shook her head and said, "Since she is Phelia's daughter, she couldn't possibly have taken my daughter away. Besides, can't you all tell? This human, Zhou Weiqing has always shown mercy. He's never truly harmed any of our tribe members."
Zhou Weiqing laughed bitterly, "Yes, Your Majesty. We may be here with a request, but we mean no harm. We have indeed seen the princess earlier on, I hope that you'll give us a chance to explain."
Seeing as she was acquainted with his mother-in-law, Zhou Weiqing had to be courteous. Besides, the Elf Tribe's powers were far stronger than his estimation. If they really wished to risk their lives, they might not be able to defeat the powerful Elf Tribe. Zhou Weiqing did not truly have the ability to summon the powers of the Demon God Sword.
Chapter 777
The Elven Queen frowned, "What happened? Also, why have you come here?"
Zhou Weiqing did not hold back, and immediately summarized his reasons and his experiences after arriving in the Elf Tribe.
Upon hearing his explanation, the Elven Queen instantly replied, "That explains why you were able to enter the Sealed Land of my Elf Tribe. You had Saint Energy. Naturally, the Natural Energy would not have stopped you. Young man, you are also the most outstanding human I've ever met. To have achieved so much in your cultivation base, at such a young age… You've even managed to draw the Demon God's projection. It looks like you'll surpass Phelia's husband very soon."
The Elven Queen's expression remained the same. However, the twelve Elf Tribe elders looked very displeased when they heard how he had come for the Elven Queen's blood. They clearly looked hostile.
Zhou Weiqing replied exasperatedly, "You flatter me, Your Majesty." He sighed, "I did not expect to encounter such matters when I arrived. Your Majesty, the current situation may be unclear but I'm willing to help you find your daughter. Even though it all happened so suddenly and neither was I able to stop her nor do I know how she managed to do it but I left a Divine Thought on your daughter, which may help in finding her."
If this came from anyone else, the Elven Queen would never have believed them. It was an extremely difficult feat to place a Divine Thought on anyone's body. Even she, a cultivator at the Heavenly God stage, never dared to guarantee that she could do it herself. However, Zhou Weiqing was different. He had Saint Energy and she had also sensed the power in his Saint Energy a while ago. Without the Saint Energy, how could he, a cultivator at the Heavenly Emperor stage be able to stand against her, a cultivator at the Heavenly God stage?
In this world, the Mountain Lord of Heavenly Snow Mountain, Xue Ao'tian was not the only one at the Heavenly God stage. Simply put, a few reclusive Heavenly Beasts at the Heavenly God stage were just as powerful and that includes her, the Elven Queen as well. However, cultivators at the Heavenly God stage were not invincible, for the Heavenly God stage had levels as well.
The Elven Queen nodded as she stared at Zhou Weiqing's earnest face, "That's great. Previously, I was in the midst of cultivation when I sensed energy fluctuations from the outside world in the Sealed Lands. Then, my daughter's aura disappeared. It's likely that she's no longer in the Elf Tribe land. So I'll have to trouble you now."
Zhou Weiqing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please be rest assured. The reason why I want to help you isn't because I want your blood. I only hope to befriend the Elf Tribe. As for my reasons for coming here, if it's possible, let's discuss it after I've saved your daughter. We'll see if we can arrange a trade with something I have on hand. You know just as well what an eleven-piece Consolidated Equipment set means to us humans."
The elders behind the Elven Queen looked significantly unhappy. Naturally, they could tell, that Zhou Weiqing was not going to give up on his goals so easily. Except, it was best for them to stay out of it at a time like this. Even though they did not like these foreign humans, Zhou Weiqing did say that he had placed a Divine Thought on the little princess. He would not make this up, based on his cultivation base. This matter concerns the heir to the Elf Tribe, so they had no choice but to swallow their temper. Saving the little princess was now more important than anything else.
The Elven Queen looked at Zhou Weiqing and nodded, an odd splendor flashed across her eyes. At this very moment, no one knew what she was thinking. Aside from the odd look in her eyes, she was deeply worried about her kidnapped daughter.
After Zhou Weiqing had spoken, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, mobilized Saint Energy, and entered a definite state.
Even though the Elf Tribe has done away with their animosity, his close female friends still surrounded Zhou Weiqing instinctively. The women's cultivation base was not weak either, and they all had Saint Energy within their bodies. If the Elf Tribe truly wished to attack again, they could still defend it.
Pure gold colored Nebula Saint Energy circled around Zhou Weiqing, gradually moving upwards. Then, carefully, under his control, entered into his soul.
Generally speaking, the soul was an existence near the human brain that contained a bizarre energy. You could say that it was a part of life. If most Heavenly Jewel Masters did whatever Zhou Weiqing was doing, it would be no different from committing suicide. The human brain is very fragile, even the slightest injury would result in death.
However, Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy was not the same. Even if he directed Saint Energy into the brain, the Saint Energy would bring protective effects, and would not harm him at all. Saint Energy was a creation, not a destruction.
A layer of pure gold light slowly dispersed from Zhou Weiqing's head. You could see it very clearly — a strange 'king' symbol appeared on his forehead. However, what was even more miraculous, was under the 'king' symbol, was a faint dragon-shaped vein. Powerful soul fluctuations exploded instantly.
When Zhou Weiqing released his Divine Thought, the Elven Queen and the Elf Tribe elders jumped in shock. The fluctuations from the Divine Thought were simply too powerful. Even if this were the Sealed Lands of the Elf Tribe, they would never have been able to release such a powerful Divine Thought.
The powerful Divine Thought, could not increase one's power in attacks, nor could it be instantly made to attack. However, this means a greater control, and an above average exploration ability. In simpler terms, if a Heavenly Emperor cultivator at the same cultivation base as Zhou Weiqing had one exploration distance, then, Zhou Weiqing, with the support of Saint Energy, would have the exploration ability of ten. This was also a vital reason behind his success in finding the Sealed Land of the Elf Tribe.
The Elven Queen curbed her own Divine Thought, to avoid interrupting Zhou Weiqing's exploration. But she could sense that Zhou Weiqing's exploration was focused on a certain direction as if something was calling out to him.
He had indeed left a Divine Thought on her daughter; the methods in Zhou Weiqing's exploration proved this.
After a short while, Zhou Weiqing rose to his feet, and nodded at the Elven Queen, "Your Majesty, perhaps we should take a walk?"
The elders who stood behind the Elven Queen did not look happy. The leading elder hurriedly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this is inappropriate, what if…"
Zhou Weiqing was intelligent. So naturally, he sensed their worries, and calmly replied, "There are no what ifs. I will leave my wives here. Only Her Majesty and I will go and save her."
The Elven Queen nodded, hinting at the elders to keep calm. She gestured in an invitation to Zhou Weiqing, "Then I thank you."
Zhou Weiqing smiled. Similarly, he had many ideas as well, since experiencing the greatness of the Elf Tribe. Besides, there were undoubtedly many mystical places in the Sealed Land of the Elf Tribe. He had only just established the Peerless Sect. How could he not rope the Elf Tribe in as well? So naturally, he would not let such a good opportunity to bridge the gap, go to waste.
A pure gold light flashed in Zhou Weiqing's eyes, and the Elven Queen nodded, "Then please excuse me." As the crowd watched in shock, Zhou Weiqing took the Elven Queen's little hand. Then, in a silver flash of light, the space around the two caved in, and they disappeared in a flash of light, traveling through space.
The Elf Tribe elders were completely stunned, Zhou Weiqing's close female friends did not look very happy either. Shangguan Fei'er exclaimed sulkily, "That naughty Little Fatty, he would even take unfair advantage of the Elven Queen."
Shangguan Xue'er shot her a look, "Don't spout nonsense. Zhouqing is trying to protect Her Majesty. Do you think that traveling through space is easy?"
Tian'er spoke leisurely, "Even if that's true, sisters, we must be careful. Heaven knows if this dirty bastard has any pervert intentions. He's always enjoyed fraternizing."
Shangguan Bing'er didn't say much, as she was unable to contain herself from laughing.
The Little Witch laughed softly, "Personal character! His personal character has always been unworthy of trust."
Like Shangguan Xue'er said, Zhou Weiqing held the Elven Queen as they traveled through space in order to protect her. Otherwise, if they were to lose their way upon entering a strange space, it would be difficult to find a way out. It was still a pretty big threat to a Heavenly God cultivator.
The Elven Queen's tiny hand was a little cold but was supple as if boneless. It was very comfortable to hold.
When Zhou Weiqing held on to the Elven Queen's hand, he clearly felt her body shudder slightly but she did not struggle. Obviously, she understood his objective.
Zhou Weiqing's heart did not really have much of an evil desire. Committing vulgar acts towards the Elven Queen in the Elf Tribe's territory? He would never do such a crazy thing. Besides, after having five wives, he was able to moderate himself a lot more now. After all, as a man, he must be responsible, despite already having quite a lot of responsibility. He did not dare provoke any further. Besides, the Elven Queen was a Heavenly God. Zhou Weiqing did not wish to create trouble, nor did he think that he had great charm anyway.
For the Elven Queen who had her hand held by Zhou Weiqing, this was another feeling altogether. There were shyness and a sense of novelty. In the Elf Tribe, she held a position of the highest supremacy, and wouldn't normally leave the Sealed Land of the Elf Tribe. The Elf Tribe's ways of passing traditions were different from humans. They did not need to mate. You could say that she became pregnant with her daughter through his blood, along with some unusual methods. Forget about human men, even the Elf Tribe men have never touched her before. The Elven Queen was not just the most supreme of all in the Elf Tribe, she also represented purity and holiness, and could only exist in the purest and most holy of all. This was the only way for her to have that kind of contract with the Goddess of Nature.
Chapter 778
At this moment, with Zhou Weiqing holding her hand, and breathing into the special manly scent from Zhou Weiqing at a close proximity, the Elven Queen wouldn't have too many ideas, naturally. However, this experience to her was similar to an old unmarried woman encountering a sedan. A stimulating novelty.
Besides, after entering the spatial realms, the Elven Queen could only sense a soft aura with mildly supreme dignity enveloping her body. This energy had completely outmatched the existence of her Natural Energy. She and Zhou Weiqing were surrounded by pure gold brilliance. Zhou Weiqing was now undoubtedly using Saint Energy to protect them both as they traveled through the spatial realms.
Zhou Weiqing achieved Spatial Travel by using Blink. The most important point is to lock down onto a target. For example, the last time he brought his wives on a collective Blink through the skies, all he needed was a position within his sight for a successful Blink. This was the power of Saint Energy. Naturally, it was also due to his strong cultivation base.
However, this was different. This was Zhou Weiqing's first try at this sort of Spatial Travel. He was entirely relying on the Divine Thought placed on the Elven Princess to determine a target. If he succeeds, then not only would they be able to travel back and forth immediately from the Elf Tribe's sealed land, and return to the Boundless Mainland, they could even appear right in front of the Elven Princess. This was obviously the most efficient method.
Besides, Zhou Weiqing was not at the least bit afraid of the Divine Thought disappearing from the Elven Princess' body. First of all, he was confident in his own Divine Thought. Secondly, he had locked down their position prior to their transmission. Even if they lost the Elven Princess' coordinates, he could still take the Elven Queen back to their starting point. So, he was extremely confident.
The feeling of traveling through space was very fascinating. Zhou Weiqing could clearly sense the rapid depletion of his Saint Energy. This depletion was faster than when he was flying, especially when he returned to Boundless Mainland, crossing from the Elf Tribe's lands with Spatial Travel. That was when the depletion of Saint Energy was greatest as if he had used up around ten percent of his Saint Energy in an instant.
However, what Zhou Weiqing did not know was that at this moment, the Elven Queen's was rather amazed. The Elven Queen herself did not have any Spatial Attributes. Naturally, she could not use Spatial Travel. However, this did not mean that she didn't understand Spatial Travel.
The Elven Queen had lived in this world for nearly a thousand years, so she had definitely seen a great deal. She herself could not travel through spatial realms, but she had encountered cultivators with this ability. To her knowledge, even when a Heavenly God Cultivator had received comprehension of the spatial laws, Spatial Travel cannot go on any longer than five seconds. Otherwise, even a Heavenly God cultivator with such powerful Heavenly Energy would be consumed and exhausted and end up being lost, staying in a separate realm forever.
However, when Zhou Weiqing took her into Spatial Travel, this one moment of labor was already more than five seconds, even though she did not calculate it all precisely.
'Is this the magic of Saint Energy?' The Elven Queen secretly exclaimed in her thoughts.
The reality of it appeared to be that way; the pure perfection of Saint Energy allows Zhou Weiqing to experience a far smaller depletion in his energy when using Spatial Travel than the average Heavenly Jewel Master. Regardless of the situation, Saint Energy would automatically absorb the surrounding attributes to replenish him. During the process of traveling through a separate realm, it has naturally absorbed Spatial Energy. In turn, this lessened Zhou Weiqing's personal consumption of his energy. Otherwise, Zhou Weiqing would not have been able to withstand the strain long ago.
However, even so, during the short travel time, Zhou Weiqing still released his own Dragon-tiger Transformation twin blades. The twin blades splayed out from his back, to better absorb the Spatial Energy, increasing the possibilities for him to remain in a separate realm for a little while longer.
Because the Elven Princess' kidnapping had only happened a short while ago, the opposition has already taken the Elven Princess far away from the Elf Tribe's sealed land. Zhou Weiqing could obviously tear out of the spatial realms to rest for a moment before a second transmission, but that would be so embarrassing! He was already planning on showing off his power to the Elven Queen in order to receive the Elf Tribe's cooperation. So, how could he not let her witness his power? How would he know that the Elven Queen's impression of him had already completely exceeded his Cultivation Base? The Elven Queen has instantly recognized him to be more powerful than she was. Simply put, an overestimation.
"Found her." Zhou Weiqing softly exclaimed with excitement. Just as the Elven Queen was still in shock over this fellow's ability to talk while traveling through spatial realms, the pair tore out of the spatial realms in a flash, and once again returned to the normal world.
In the middle of the sky, a crack appeared all of a sudden. Then, two figures tore out, coincidentally blocking the way of a man in black, flying through the sky in a hurried manner.
The man in black was flying very fast, but his powers of perception were rather substantial. He realized that something wasn't right at once, as the spatial realms in front of them tore all of a sudden. Then, two figures emerged out of thin air, thoroughly giving him a fright. His instinct was to escape in a flash, trying to avoid the two by continuing his flight. Unfortunately, he was their target.
"Still trying to escape?" Zhou Weiqing hated the fellow bitterly. This bastard made him the scapegoat, and he nearly started a war with the Elf Tribe. The dark gold light illuminated around him like waves, equipping him in Ringless Ground Purging set. His figure flashed, as though migrating from a different realm. At the same time when his body reappeared in thin air, the Dual God Strength Hammers came smashing towards him. At that moment, Zhou Weiqing was using a hundred percent of his strength.
The man in black was not ordinary either. Faced with Zhou Weiqing's close range of attack, his expression changed, and he raised both arms at the same time, creating a whirling move. A layer of bizarre and twisted, shapeless halos immediately appeared, blocking Zhou Weiqing's Dual God Strength Hammers.
Time Attribute. Zhou Weiqing had already known that this fellow had the ability of Time Attribute. Seeing the opposition use a skill that had a similar effect to space-time turbulence to block his hammer, the corners of his lips curled into a cold smile.
That's right, the Time Attribute was one of the Four Great Saint Attributes, and a powerful destructive force at best. Generally speaking, physical attacks would be useless when faced with space-time turbulence and would be pushed aside. However, were Zhou Weiqing's Dual God Strength Hammers that easy to deal with?
After assembling the Ringless Ground Purging Set, Zhou Weiqing was already included with an extra ability after the set was completed. For example, the ability to eradicate everything. In other words, the power of the Ringless Ground Purging set can collide with any attack from any energy or attribute, rendering the effects from the enemies' energy skills useless.
A loud bang rang aloud in the clash, and the black shadow groaned, like a cannon blast, and smashed heavily downwards. You could even hear the bones in both his arms crack.
The power of the amplified Ringless Ground Purging Set was absolutely terrifying, even a Heavenly God Cultivator would not willingly clash with Zhou Weiqing. This was the first time the set was ever displayed; no one had ever laid eyes on it. The bright gold armor was not simply for a dazzling sight. It contained a powerful destructive force; even ten legendary armor sets would be considered second best.
The man in black, aside from feeling shocked, had his body suspended in mid-air, twisted into different angles. Suddenly, his figure retreated one kilometer away, and his newly broken arms suddenly returned to normal.
"Eh, Time Reversal?" Zhou Weiqing exclaimed in shock. That's right, the enemy used a Time Reversal and judging by his looks, he's managed to control Time Reversal. He managed to manipulate it well, to time travel to a few seconds before the attack. Thus, he not only managed to avoid Zhou Weiqing's next attack but restored his arms as well.
As a Saint Attribute, how could the Time Attribute lack its own special mystical properties?
Unfortunately, he had crossed paths with Zhou Weiqing, and the latter also had the Time Attribute. So, he naturally knew how to deal with Time Reversal. The enemy was about to use Time Reversal once, but if he allowed him to continue using it this way, wouldn't the enemy turn into a hard-to-kill cockroach?
Just as Zhou Weiqing was about to make his move, the Elven Queen had already attacked. Both of them appeared from thin air and faced this man in black. Naturally, the Elven Queen would know that her daughter had fallen into this fellow's hands. Zhou Weiqing launched the first attack, and in the next moment, a layer of soft, green light was already released from the Elven Queen's body.
This green light was not directed towards the enemy straight away but dispersed in all directions. At that moment, the surrounding turned completely green, giving off a feeling infused with vitality.
However, this did not give the man in green a wonderful feeling at all. The feeling of vitality was still there, but in the air, aside from the six types of natural attribute elements, the other elements and attributes were expelled. Naturally, this included the Time Attribute. Besides, for the natural attributes within the green spatial realm, only the Elven Queen held control. He would not be able to amplify anything.
This is the Natural Divine Territory of the Elven Queen. After her cultivation base had reached the Heavenly God stage, the largest difference she had from Heavenly Emperor stage, was that she could solidify environmental effects in the outside world. This type of solidification became a special ability, known as Divine Territory. Every Heavenly God cultivator had their own exclusive Divine Territory.
In the Elven Queen's Divine Territory, you could fight back against the effects of her Divine Territory, only if you had Divine Territory abilities and were able to contend against her. Alternatively, the only other way was to breakthrough out of it, or defeat the Elven Queen in her Divine Territory.
When the fearsome aura from the Demon God was previously far too powerful during the Elven Queen's fight with Zhou Weiqing and due to the fact that the powerful Evil Energy created a vague existence like a Divine Territory, the Elven Queen did not use her Divine Territory. She knew that using it would be of no use but at this moment, using it to limit this man in black was no problem. This was because both she and Zhou Weiqing saw it clearly – this man in black only had eleven Heavenly Jewels in his hand. He was a Heavenly Emperor cultivator.
Chapter 779
Since he was only at the Heavenly Emperor Tier, he naturally did not have the Divine Territory ability. Because he was in the presence of the Elven Queen's Natural Divine Territory, it was impossible for him to perform Time Reversal.
"The Elven Queen?" The man in black exclaimed, his voice was clearly husky and was intentionally lowered. It was obvious that he was trying to hide his real identity. That person was completely covered in a black attire, and his features could not be seen at all.
As dark gold glows lit up continuously, a nine-piece legendary armor set appeared on the Heavenly Emperor, covering his body. The helmet was fully enclosed which made it impossible to see how he looked like. The Elven Queen and Zhou Weiqing stood on one side each while they stared at the man in black coldly. The Elven Queen said in a deep voice, "Give me back my daughter, or else you'll die."
The man in black was not in a rush at all. Perhaps, he did not dare to make a move hastily. If he made a move, he would definitely trigger Zhou Weiqing and the Elven Queen to attack him together. Encountering a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse with terrifying strength whom he knew nothing about and the Heavenly God Tier Elven Queen, the man in black would definitely not make a move unless he was an idiot.
"I've no idea what Your Majesty is talking about. I'm just doing my own things as usual. I thought the Elf Tribe doesn't usually interfere with the human world? If you do that, you might trigger a war between humans and the Elf Tribe." The man in black said cunningly.
Although the Elven Queen had a powerful cultivation base, she was not good with words. She burst into rage, "You…" Suddenly, Natural Divine Territory was roiling intensely. An overbearing energy wave exploded out of her body continuously. It seemed like she was going to fight.
Because the man in black had his body hidden under the black Consolidated Set, nobody could see his expression. However, there was a layer of peculiar distorted glow coming out of his body. The glow was twinkling, and it seemed to be rejecting the Natural Divine Territory around him.
Zhou Weiqing smiled calmly and said, "Who said the Elven Queen is going to stop you. This has nothing to do with the Elf Tribe and the humans. I'm the one that'll stop you."
"You? Why would you stop me?" The man in black did not even turn around to look at Zhou Weiqing. Although he was attacked by Zhou Weiqing earlier, the Elven Queen with a Heavenly God-tier cultivation base was more of a concern to him.
At that moment, he was secretly shocked. Everything aside, Zhou Weiqing and the Elven Queen had unexpectedly stopped him accurately using Spatial Travel. That was something he did not expect. He had been roaming outside the Elf Tribe's Sealed Land for a very long time to capture the Elven Princess. He even used a couple of consumable treasures to help him succeed. He would only leave after he captured her. As for him, there was no way the Elf Tribe would be able to catch him. However, nobody would have ever thought that the Elven Queen would appear before him in within such a short period of time. He knew that it would be difficult for him to escape today. He was looking for an opportunity to escape. It was not an easy task to run away from a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse! However, he had a trump card as well.
Zhou Weiqing smiled and said, "I stopped you because you abducted my wife. My wife has a bit of my Divine Thought on her so that's how I found you. Your Majesty, please withdraw your Divine Territory. This is between me and this man. It has nothing to do with you, nor does it have anything to do with the Elf Tribe."
The reason why the Elven Queen did not instantly attack earlier was because she had her own worries. Even if she and Zhou Weiqing managed to get this Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse to stay today, assuming that there was a slight misstep that affected the Elf Tribe, and the news of how the Elven Queen could not even handle a human being spread out, it would bring great trouble to the Elf Tribe. Besides, she did not have any evidence at all currently.
Most importantly, they were dealing with a Time Attribute Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse. A powerhouse with this level of cultivation base in Time Attribute was good in spreading news using the trait of time. For example, the Time Portrait. The image of this Heavenly Emperor Tier powerhouse could be placed in the sky like a portrait in the sky right before he was killed. The image could not be removed even if abilities were used on it and would exist forever. It could even remain in the sky no matter what was happening before their eyes. It would put the Elf Tribe in an unfavorable position if somebody was to take advantage of it.
What Zhou Weiqing said undoubtedly saved her. In regards to the 'wife' that Zhou Weiqing spoke of, the Elven Queen did not take him seriously. How would she know what he was thinking!
The Elven Queen looked at Zhou Weiqing with gratitude. She withdrew her Natural Divine Territory without any hesitation, and she even retreated. She had almost blind faith in Zhou Weiqing because Zhou Weiqing possessed Saint Energy. Even though both of them were at the Heavenly Emperor Tier, the man in black would not have any chance to win against him. One should not forget that Zhou Weiqing fought even with her earlier. In the end, she only managed to defend against the terrifying attack from the Demon God Sword with the help of the elders' strength.
The man in black was stunned. Because Zhou Weiqing had taken all the responsibility upon himself, he had ruined his plan. However, he was not afraid if he was only dealing with an opponent who was at the Heavenly Emperor Tier since he was at the Upper Level of Heavenly Emperor Tier. In regards to Zhou Weiqing's strength, the man in black knew that he was the one who was being reckless.
"I've no idea what you're talking about. What wife? I didn't abduct anybody. Do you think Divine Thought exists just because you said so?" The man in black thought that even if there were Divine Thoughts, it should have been left by the Elven Queen. He had no idea why the Elven Queen was with this human man but it was obvious that this man was taking advantage of the Elf Tribe earlier, and was taken advantage of by the man in black. He did not expect that not only did Zhou Weiqing managed to escape, he even came with the Elven Queen.
Naturally, he had no idea that when he achieved his goal, he had also triggered a war between Zhou Weiqing and the Elf Tribe. However, the issue was resolved a lot faster than he had expected. That was why Zhou Weiqing and the Elven Queen managed to come so quickly. Zhou Weiqing maintained the smile on his face. He always had that expression on him whenever he wanted to trick a person. "How about this? You let me search you. I'll use my Divine Thought to search. If I don't sense my wife's presence, I'll let you go."
"Dream on. I'm a Heavenly Emperor and also the Emperor of a generation. Do you think I'll let you search me just because you want to?"
Zhou Weiqing burst out laughing and said, "Emperor of a generation? Nonsense! You covered yourself from head to toes. You don't even have the courage to show yourself. How do you live up to your name as a Heavenly Emperor?"
"How dare you insult me?" It was clear that the man in black was mad as the air around him became even more distorted. If the Elven Queen whom he perceived as a threat was not present, perhaps he would have attacked Zhou Weiqing since the beginning. All that he was thinking about at the moment was how to escape.
Zhou Weiqing's appearance was indeed majestic. He had gold armor covering his entire body. Moreover, it was a 10-piece legendary armor set. The pair of huge hammers and the pair of purple wings with golden edges on his back was releasing a terrifying force just like before. These were not easy to handle. However, to him, his threat would still work as it would not be difficult for him to escape without the limitation of the Elven Queen's Divine Territory. He was thinking of how to escape in a way that would cause him minimal damage. As long as he managed to leave this place, his mission could be considered successful.
"Insult you? That was insulting to you? Do you know even know what insulting means? Let me show you." Zhou Weiqing pursed his lips in disdain and said, "Look at you hiding yourself. You must be the worst of all the scum out there. The savage among all the savages. From what I've observed, you must lack proper upbringing since you were young, and you lacked love when you were growing up. Your grandmother doesn't pamper you and your uncle hates you. The left side of your face should be slapped and the right side of your face should be kicked. Donkeys would kick you and pigs would step on you when they see you. You must be a cucumber since birth because you need some slapping! You must be a walnut later on because you need to be pounded! You're given the opportunity to be anything you want but you're so shameless that you're begging to be a bitch! Damn it, why? I want to see you talk but why do you bury your face in your ass? Oh? I'm sorry, I didn't know that's your face. So where did your ass go? A bitch will be a bitch for life while a pig's life would end with a chop of a knife. I'm doing a good deed today by helping God in killing you."
Zhou Weiqing's face remained serious when he said all that. It was as if he was talking about some serious matter. Moreover, he was speaking so fast like a cannonball when he said that nonsense in one breath. When the man in black understood what he meant, Zhou Weiqing had already said what he had wanted say with a joking expression on his face.
Let alone the anger that the man in black felt from Zhou Weiqing's insults, even the Elven Queen who was standing not too far away found it hard to stop the corner of her lips from twitching. Zhou Weiqing's insults were too much and there were vulgarities in there. When the Elven Queen looked at that person, who was possibly the youngest Heavenly Emperor-tier human, insulting someone so smoothly, it would have been strange if she was not surprised. She could not imagine how mad she would be if Zhou Weiqing was saying those words to her.
The man in black started shaking uncontrollably as he lifted his hand to point at Zhou Weiqing, "You… You…"
Zhou Weiqing scoffed in disdain, "What do you mean 'you'? Do you mean to say your sister?! Even if you have a sister, I won't be interested."
"Bastard, go to hell." The man in black could not take it anymore. As a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse, he held a certain position. When would he ever be insulted like that? With the expression on Zhou Weiqing's face, he could not bear it even though he knew that he was supposed to keep calm at that moment.
Chapter 780
Domineering energy wave exploded instantly. Initially, the distorted Time attribute energy was just hovering around the man in black's body. However at that moment, it spread out quickly, and the space within thousands of square meters became distorted. There were countless tiny black cracks on them. It was not caused by Spatial Rend. Instead, it was the effect of Time Rend.
The impact from Time Rend was not as simple Spatial Rend. Once hit, it might not instantly tear the individual apart. However, there would be repercussions such as instant aging or shrinking in size. Besides, the time wave coming through the cracks was different. That said, once hit, the cracks would cause a time disorder in a person's body. By then, it would be a real pain in the ass. When one had a low Time Attribute cultivation base, one's Divine Attribute would not have a powerful impact. It was used more to defend instead of attack. However, when one got to the Heavenly Emperor Tier, the offensive prowess of the Time Attribute would be superior to the Divine Attribute. It was comparable to Demonic Attribute. Moreover, it would be even more unpredictable and harder to defend against.
As the terrifying energy wave exploded, Zhou Weiqing moved quickly with disdain on his face. To their surprise, he chose to retreat. A reddish gold glow that looked like a nebula was released from his body in a spiral shape. It blocked the overbearing time turbulence outside from getting close to his body.
Meanwhile, the man in black had arrived in front of Zhou Weiqing. When he was approaching Zhou Weiqing, all of the cracks from the Time Rend avoided him and created a path for him. As he waved his hand in the air, the sword that was initially on his back appeared in his hand. The sword was also completely black. The sword glinted and a strange distorted black glow rushed towards Zhou Weiqing.
From the looks of it, the black glow was only about ten meters long. Most people at the Heavenly Emperor Tier would judge the attack superficially and they would not consider it powerful at all. However, Zhou Weiqing knew very well how powerful the man in black's attack was. It was not a simple or normal attack. It was not even a pure Time Attribute attack. To his surprise, the man in black before him possessed double attributes of Darkness and Time. An upper-level attribute combined with a Divine Attribute. Anyone could imagine how impressive the sword attack would be. It integrated Darkness and Time Attributes perfectly. This fellow could be considered a genius.
It was unfortunate that the person he encountered was Zhou Weiqing. Faced with the man in black's attack, the reddish gold Nebula Saint Energy around his body started to distort as well. Soon after, he rotated his body lightly and smashed the dual hammers in his hands forward. It was a strong blow.
When the loud bang sounded, the black sword glow was crushed into pieces by the Dual God Strength Hammers in Zhou Weiqing's hands. Even the large coverage of the distorted time glow was quivering.
A powerful person could fight 10 martial artists. When strength had reached a certain level, it could not be explained using common theory anymore. The trait of the Ringless Ground Purging Set had given Zhou Weiqing the strength to endure attacks of any attributes by force.
The disdain on his face did not lessen at all. As Zhou Weiqing took a step into the air, he swung his dual hammers again and directly rushed towards the man in black. At that moment, the man in black felt fear. He was not afraid of Zhou Weiqing's ability. However, he was afraid of the legendary armor set that he was wearing. He had the same Physical Jewel as him which was Strength Jewel. The both of them also had the same Heavenly Emperor-tier cultivation base. However, he could clearly feel the difference in strength between Zhou Weiqing and him, and it could not be explained in theory. Why was it like this? Could it be that his legendary armor set increased the base of his strength?
From what he remembered, the Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor Long Shiya's Ringless Ground Purging Set was the only legendary armor set that increased base strength. This young man before him was clearly not Long Shiya; furthermore, Long Shiya's Ringless Ground Purging Set was silver in color while this young Heavenly Emperor-tier young man's armor was gold in color. Besides, this young man's strength seemed to be even more terrifying.
Due to his previous experience, the man in black did not dare to fight Zhou Weiqing forcefully anymore. He retreated immediately and lifted both of his hand together in the middle. A rich time turbulence in the air dashed towards Zhou Weiqing. He did not expect the time turbulence to kill Zhou Weiqing, he had a legendary armor set on him after all, and it could shield most of the attack. What he attempted to do was to drain Zhou Weiqing's Heavenly Energy.
Since the earlier attack, the man in black had become much calmer. He realized that it would be unwise for him to get agitated There was a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse who was watching on the sideline. When he retreated, he already had the intention to escape. He thought to himself that he would teach Zhou Weiqing a lesson about humiliation in the future. If they were in another place, and it was just the two of them, he would definitely fight Zhou Weiqing at all cost just to redeem his honor.
However, this was not a good time for him to attack Zhou Weiqing. Therefore, he picked the direction that was opposite from where the Elven Queen standing when he retreated. He was waiting for the best opportunity. As he retreated, the black sword in his hand glowed a dark glow. The sword glows were black and distorted. It made it seem like there were countless black snakes moving in the air. As he shook the sword, the black glows left the sword and dashed towards Zhou Weiqing from all directions. 'You have powerful strength, right? Then I shall handle you with this.'
Zhou Weiqing chuckled. He did not avoid the dark glow. He rotated his body quickly along with the dual hammers, and his speed instantly had an immense boost. None of the dark glows got to him where the dual hammers were. They were all dispelled by the Dual God Strength Hammers.
The Elven Queen watched the both of them fight from far away. She was frowning at that moment because she could see that the man in black was not giving it his all and the same could be said about Zhou Weiqing. What were they doing? They looked like they were putting on a show. A bad thought popped into the Elven Queen's mind. Could it be that they were both accomplices?
However, the Elven Queen got rid of that thought. Whether Zhou Weiqing was in cahoots with the man in black or not, Zhou Weiqing's women were still in the Elf Tribe's Sealed Land. If Zhou Weiqing wanted to leave now, with his cultivation base, it was sufficient for him to bring all of his women along with him through the Spatial Travel. There was no need for him to bring her along to capture the man in black. The Elven Queen felt guilty for being suspicious. However, Zhou Weiqing would not have blamed her even if he knew she had such thoughts. After all, as a mother, it was normal that she would have such thoughts because she was worried about her daughter that was abducted.
Seeing that Zhou Weiqing dodged his attack once again, his eyes lit up suddenly. He slashed his sword again. However, this time the black sword glow did not distort anymore as he rushed towards Zhou Weiqing with an enormous Light Blade.
"Eh?" Zhou Weiqing exclaimed in surprise. He held up his dual hammers and screamed, "Open."
As he lifted up his hammers, reddish gold glow covered the Dual God Strength Hammers.
As a loud thud sounded out, the space a few hundred of meters away collapsed. The man in black's body was blown away with the help of the intense shock force. Soon after, circles of distorted halos appeared behind him suddenly. The immense push allowed his body to be thrown back into the sky like an arrow and he became a small, black dot instantly.
That was the opportunity that he had been waiting for. The swing of his sword was no longer tentative and he had given it his all. Otherwise, Zhou Weiqing would not use Nebula Saint Energy to fight. After that, he took advantage of the shockwave to escape. With such speed, even a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse would not be able to catch up to him easily within a short period of time. Moreover, the circles of distorted halos behind him were expanding, it would be much more difficult to discern the direction in which he ran away.
"He ran away?" The Elven Queen panicked.
Just as she was about to chase after him, she heard Zhou Weiqing's voice next to her ear, "Let me do it."
Zhou Weiqing did not move at all as he lifted his right hand and pointed the 'crying-face' hammer into the sky. A bright reddish gold glow was shot into the sky, and the sky became dark. How could he not know that the man in black was attempting to escape? If it was him, he would have done the same. He would look for the opportunity to escape and not fight forcefully. Since he figured that out, it was only natural that he was prepared.
The series of pranks that he put on for the man in black was not meaningless. Since using Spatial Travel, his Saint Energy had been significantly drained, and he needed time to recover. Otherwise, why would he spend so much time with all that nonsense earlier? Moreover, he did not give his all in his attacks. With the help of the Dragon-Tiger Transformation and powerful Saint Energy that he had in him, his cultivation base had almost fully recovered. He was almost ready in his preparation, the next step was to reap his reward.
The sunny sky became dark in an instant. However, the night sky was extremely clear with countless stars shining in the sky. As Zhou Weiqing shot the reddish gold Nebula Saint Energy into the sky, all of the stars seemed to lit up at that moment. After that, a rich Saint Energy wave exploded from Zhou Weiqing, and he disappeared.
When the starry sky appeared, the time turbulence in the air disappeared completely. The man in black did not leave any trails for the enemy to find him at all. As the terrifying energy wave exploded from Zhou Weiqing, the peculiar reddish gold color dyed the Ringless Ground Purging Set that he was wearing into the same color. His body disappeared into the starry night. When he re-appeared, he appeared before the man in black. Naturally, the man in black had sensed the changes in the sky and in his own Time attribute energy. However, there was nothing he could do apart from running at full speed. What surprised him was that ever since the sky changed, he seemed to be trapped in the night sky no matter where he ran.
Chapter 781
One must know that even a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse had limited coverage in Divine Territory too. Meanwhile, the dazzling starry sky did not seem to have such limitation. How could it not shock him?
"This is the end." Zhou Weiqing stepped out of thin air and swung his Dual God Strength Hammers that were in his hands. As he swung the dual hammers, two beams of starlight descended from the sky and coincidentally shone on the Dual God Strength Hammers. The dual hammers in Zhou Weiqing's hands shone like they were made of two stars. An intense and terrifying energy wave made the man in black shiver. He unleashed everything he had with his black sword. It turned into a black tornado as it attempted to defend against Zhou Weiqing's attack.
However, Zhou Weiqing was a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse, too. How could he, who possessed Nebula Saint Energy, give him any chance? This time, there was no loud 'bang'. There was only a light 'ding'. Something odd happened then. The distorted glow that surrounded the man in black's body disappeared completely. The black sword in his hand was crushed into countless pieces before it disappeared into thin air.
Zhou Weiqing's motion did not seem quick but a beam of starlight would shine on him whenever he performed a simple action which gave him an extra boost in his Nebula Saint Energy. The Nebula glow on Zhou Weiqing's chest became extremely powerful. It was transforming into a whitish gold color from its initial reddish gold color.
The black sword was crushed with a low bang. The man in black no longer defended against Zhou Weiqing's weapon. Feeling helpless, he used all the strength that he had and released a powerful skill as he dashed towards Zhou Weiqing. His body was thrown back once again. However, he was not trying to escape this time. As his body was thrown backward, a rich aura exploded from his body. When one arrived at the Heavenly Emperor Tier, getting wounded was not as simple as spitting blood anymore. Zhou Weiqing's hammering shocked his entire body immensely. There were tiny cracks on his legendary armor set. The hammers would have severely injured him if it was not for the protection of his legendary armor set.
"Stop." The man in black yelled. A beam sparkled on his hand, and a pretty little lady appeared in his hand. She was shielding him. Zhou Weiqing who was going for more stopped his hammering once and for all. Was that not the Elven Princess in the man in black's hand?
At that moment, the Elven Queen had rushed there. Her expression turned extremely cold when she saw her daughter.
The little lady was in a coma at that moment. It was obvious that she was being kept like one of the man in black's storage item. It was obvious that she was still alive as the Elven Queen and Zhou Weiqing could still feel the life aura on her. The man in black was panting heavily. He could not understand how Zhou Weiqing became so powerful all of a sudden. What made him afraid was that the powerful attribute that he had always depended on could not be felt in any of the elements in the air.
Even when he was in the Elven Queen's Natural Divine Territory, he could at least feel the Natural Attribute even though he had a difficult time getting adjusted. However, he could not feel any attributes at all at the moment. Apart from that, all of the attributes that he possessed were being suppressed. Otherwise, he would not be so passive. It was safe to say that he could not even use 80% of his cultivation base during his peak. Without a doubt, all this was caused by the dazzling starry sky. He could not understand it at all. Especially the unbelievable strength in Zhou Weiqing's last few attacks! He could not accept the outcome at all.
Zhou Weiqing looked at him coldly, "There's nothing that you can say now. Give us the little lady, and I'll consider sparing your life."
The man in black said ferociously, "In your dreams! Will the both of you let me go if I return her to you? Stop your nonsense and back off. Also, withdraw this shitty thing in the sky and let me go. Otherwise, I'll break this little girl's head and bring her to hell with me."
He knew very well that it was possible for him to escape from this dazzling starry sky that Zhou Weiqing released. Moreover, he guessed that Zhou Weiqing must have drained much of his energy from performing such an ability, and he would not be able to last long. Therefore, it was the most beneficial for him to stall for time. Besides, with the Elven Princess in his hand, Zhou Weiqing and the Elven Queen would have to stay away from him. That was also the reason why he had been calm.
The Elven Queen clenched her fists in anger, and her beautiful face turned pale. It made sense for her to be enraged after seeing her own daughter in the man's hand. However, she did not dare to do anything right now. Even if she had absolute confidence she could kill the enemy, the enemy was a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse. It would take him only a second to kill the Elven Princess. It could be seen that the man in black was cunning when he decided to bring the Elven Princess out before he was badly injured. Due to that, it was still possible for him to escape.
"Did the both of you hear me? If you don't do as I've said, I'll tear off her arms first." The man in black said as he pulled on the Elven Princess' little hand that was like a lotus.
The Elven Queen instinctively screamed, "No!"
Zhou Weiqing's pupils shrunk. Tian'er was going to give birth, and he would be a father soon. The anger within him peaked as he looked at the despicable man.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Weiqing put his dual hammers down slowly. He said in his deep voice, "I will withdraw the starry sky but you must let go of the kid. Otherwise, I rather destroy everything than letting a bastard like you leave."
The man in black laughed, "Hey, weren't you all obnoxious earlier? Do you think it's up to you whether I get to leave or not? Elven Queen, this is your child. Or did you and this guy commit adultery and gave birth to the princess? If you want this child to live, you'll have to kill that guy next to you. Otherwise, hehe." He forcefully straightened the Elven Princess' arm as he spoke. With a slight pull, he would be able to tear the tiny arm apart.
"He's right. You're indeed a scum, a savage." The Elven Queen began to slightly lose control of her emotion. Her body was shaking while rich Life aura was continuously being released from her body. As a glow flashed, Zhou Weiqing kept the Dual God Strength Hammers in his hands and pressed on the Elven Queen's shoulder with a hand, "Don't react. For the sake of the child, we'll let him go."
Zhou Weiqing raised his hand and waved at the dazzling starry sky as he spoke. The stars in the sky dimmed like they were fading away. The man in black was secretly glad. He could feel the elements in the outside world that was completely shielded starting to gradually appear. It was obvious that Zhou Weiqing had withdrawn the ability that was similar to Divine Territory. As the stars in the sky dimmed, something odd happened. All of the stars seemed to be getting further away, and the dazzling glow was fading at a high speed. The night sky that was slowly fading away gathered into a small ball. A beam flashed and fell from the sky before it landed in Zhou Weiqing's hand. It seemed as if Zhou Weiqing had grabbed the stars from the sky.
The scene that was unfolding before their eyes even stunned the Elven Queen who was agitated. Suddenly, Zhou Weiqing yelled ferociously, "Didn't you want to kill her? Do it. I'll kill her for you." As he said that, he lifted his hand to slap the Elven Princess as he ran towards her. However, before he managed to land his slap, an intensely rich whitish gold glow came out of his palm and rushed towards the Elven Princess. Everything happened too suddenly. Zhou Weiqing was already moving when he was speaking. Even the Elven Queen who was next to him could not stop him. What Zhou Weiqing said had also shocked the man in black. However, it was obvious that he could not dodge at that moment otherwise, Zhou Weiqing's attack might land on him instead.
All humans were selfish. At such a critical time, the man in black would naturally choose to use the Elven Princess to shield himself. Besides, he had an idea in his head at that very moment. Since Zhou Weiqing dared to attack the Elven Queen's daughter, would that not mean they would have internal conflict? Even if the Elven Princess died, he would have the opportunity to escape. It was just that he would not be able to complete his mission.
The whitish gold nebula glow imprinted on the Elven Princess' body accurately.
"You bastard…" The Elven Queen's eyes turned red in shock. She gave Zhou Weiqing a slap on his body without any hesitation. As a low thud sounded, Zhou Weiqing was thrown into the air. When he was in midair, he spat out blood vigorously. His body was alternately radiating a gold and grey glow. He forcefully stopped the momentum when he was a few thousand meters away.
A Heavenly God-tier powerhouse's cultivation base was tremendously powerful. Especially when she gave it her all in anger. Even though Zhou Weiqing had the protection of the Ringless Ground Purging Set as well as the powerful defense of the Immortal Deity Shield, the Demon God Protective Aura, and Dragon-Tiger Transformation, it was tough for him to bear the full brunt of the Elven Queen's attack without blocking at all. It was his first time getting injured even since he achieved Heavenly King Tier.
It was obvious that the Ringless Ground Purging Set on Zhou Weiqing's right shoulder was completed crushed, and there were cracks all over the armor set. At that moment, the Elven Queen's rage had reached its peak. However, her expression changed right after she slapped Zhou Weiqing. She could clearly see that the Elven Princess in the man in black's hand had turned completely whitish gold in color. The starlight looked extra dazzling, and it was just like a whitish gold sculpture mounted with countless starlight gems on it.
What was happening? When the Elven Queen was preoccupied with her thoughts, the man in black on the other side noticed that something was wrong. He could feel an intense force of rejection exploding from the Elven Princess' body. Apart from that, all of the attributes energy in his body was being drained out manically as it headed into the Elven Princess' body. The little lady's body looked like it had turned into a black hole. It was a terrifyingly tough case to handle.
Chapter 782
The man in black's response was definitely fast. He made a prompt decision as he slammed his palm violently against the little princess' back. It sent her flying towards the Elven Queen. He, on the other hand, turned on his heels and fled.
"Trying to escape? Go to hell." Zhou Weiqing declared icily. A wave of white-gold light came flashing down from the sky. However, before the man in black could even scream, his entire body vanished into thin air.
That's right. He disappeared. He was turned into ashes and vanished into the sky.
After Zhou Weiqing dealt with the man in black, his body descended instantly, falling to the ground. At the same time, blood came spurting out from his mouth.
However, no one noticed as he made his descent, his eyes were filled with delight and a hint of craftiness.
The man in black slapped the Elven Princess hard across the air. The Elven Queen hurriedly rushed towards her daughter. To a mother, as long as there was a chance for her child's survival, she would save her without any hesitation!
Just then, a miracle happened. When the Elven Princess was sent flying, she flew at a pretty fast speed. However, that only happened for a moment. The speed immediately went back to normal as she stopped flying and descended slowly.
What was the Elven Queen's cultivation base? Naturally, she quickly gathered her energy to catch the little princess and scoop her into her arms.
Once the little princess entered her arms, the Elven Queen felt as if something was not right. Her body still contained a strong attractive force. She showed her own mother no courtesy either as she absorbed the Elven Queen's Natural Attribute Energy rapidly. The most mystifying part was as she absorbed the energy, she grew larger and large. Even though she was growing very slowly, the young lady, who had been around five to six years of age, had suddenly grown to the size of a seven to eight-year-old child.
What was the meaning of this? The Elven Queen could not understand what had happened to her daughter. However, she could sense her daughter's life force very clearly, and it was even more vigorous than before. As a cultivator on the Heavenly God Tier, how could she not see that her daughter was safe and sound? Furthermore, the reason why her daughter was able to survive was undoubtedly due to Zhou Weiqing's slap.
'Ah! Zhou Weiqing, is he alright?'
Only at this moment, the Elven Queen remembered a certain sad person. When she turned around to look at the sky, that person's shadow was nowhere to be seen.
A wave of emotion that the Elven Queen had never felt before appeared in her heart. She felt a powerful sense of remorse erupting from her being. 'Why did I not trust him! It was him. It must have been him. He saved my daughter and yet I've injured him heavily.'
The Elven Queen immediately released her Natural Divine Territory without any hesitation because she could sense everything within her Natural Divine Territory. At the same time, releasing her Natural Divine Territory would also allow her to quickly absorb the Atmospheric Energy so that she could replenish the energy that was absorbed by her child.
At this moment, silver starlight from the Elven Princess' body began to slowly enter her body. She stopped absorbing the Elven Queen's Heavenly Energy and fell into a deep slumber. The Elven Queen glanced at her daughter. Even though she aged a few years, she was even more beautiful. Now, the Elven Queen had all sorts of mixed feelings in her heart.
With a flash, she arrived on the ground and appeared in front of the man.
Zhou Weiqing's current state could not be simply described as 'a sorry figure'. His legendary armor set had vanished completely. His clothes were torn and tattered due to being scraped by tree branches and stones during his descent. His entire body was flung onto the ground, and he lay on the ground spread eagle with his body slightly twisted.
If anyone else saw this, they would have considered this a comical sight. But in the Elven Queen's eyes, this made her feel even greater remorse. Not only had she injured him heavily, he had used his final ounce of strength to help her kill the enemy. She could not even break his fall, causing him to fall down on the ground. 'Zhou Weiqing, you cannot die! Otherwise, I won't stop blaming myself for the rest of my life.'
As she was mulling over her thoughts, a flash of light appeared in the Elven Queen's hand, and a large leaf appeared out of thin air. She placed her daughter on the leaf. Soon after, the leaf began to roll up and wrap the Elven Princess within it. With a flash of green light, it disappeared into thin air.
After the Elven Queen hid her daughter away safely, she carefully pulled Zhou Weiqing out of the man-shaped hole in the ground.
No one would dare flatter Zhou Weiqing in his current predicament. Most of the skin on his body was exposed, and his aura was severely weakened. It was difficult to even sense any fluctuations from his body.
Given these conditions, the Elven Queen had long forgotten about the differences between men and women. She extended her hands towards Zhou Weiqing, tracing it along his body to check on him. She noticed a lot of damages all over his veins but his flesh and bones were not heavily injured. The heaviest injury was at his shoulders.
The Elven Queen carefully flipped Zhou Weiqing's body over as her face trembled slightly.
At this moment, Zhou Weiqing's face was as white as a sheet of paper, his breath was coming out in wisps, and the Saint Energy in his body was a mess. His right shoulder was completely swollen. It had swelled to at least one time its original size. One could even see the damaged blood vessels very clearly beneath his skin. His right shoulder was dark purple in color, and his bones could not be seen at all.
The Elven Queen's voice trembled as she muttered, "I… I really didn't know. It's all my fault. I should've trusted you. I…" Her heart was certainly in a mess.
She carefully tore off Zhou Weiqing's clothes. After that, she pressed her hands on his shoulders as she tried using energy from the water element to heal him. Waves of life force poured out from the Elven Queen's hand like a stream into Zhou Weiqing's body.
At this moment, the Elven Queen no longer looked like the powerful leader of a tribe. Instead, she looked more like the girl next door.
Since she was young, she had always held a well-loved and respected position in the eyes of her people. She had never had contact with any males from the Elf Tribe, let alone coming in contact with a man!
Zhou Weiqing's strong muscles and his thick, musky male scent assaulted the Heavenly God Elven Queen's heart. A single thought appeared in her heart, 'So, this is how a man looks like.'
At first, Zhou Weiqing's body seemed to reject the water element that the Elven Queen had poured into his body. Even though there was not a lot of Saint Energy left in Zhou Weiqing's body, it was still Saint Energy. Once the water element entered Zhou Weiqing's body, his Saint Energy began swallowing it up immediately. Hs life force reacted in the same way. Her attempts at healing him were useless.
'What should I do?' The Elven Queen did not dare to move Zhou Weiqing. If he was an ordinary person, he would have shown signs of improvement under the powerful healing from her cultivation base. However, Zhou Weiqing possessed Saint Energy, and this was a mysterious energy that not even the Elven Queen, a formidable cultivator, could understand. She did not know what else to do. She could only stay by Zhou Weiqing's side as she carefully and continuously released Natural Energy into his body. Nobody knew if this would help strengthen his Saint Energy. That would be a pretty good outcome as well.
The Elven Queen knew very clearly that it was difficult to injure a Heavenly Jewel Master when he had cultivated to a certain level because his body's resistance would become stronger and could not be easily harmed. However, the more powerful it is, the more difficult it would be to heal the body once it was afflicted with an injury. Even a small wound would cause a huge problem because a powerful Heavenly Jewel Master's Heavenly Energy was just as powerful. Once the body is damaged, it would cause problems in the Heavenly Energy's limitations. It would result in a counter charge between the Heavenly Energy and its user.
The Elven Queen's fair forehead began to break out in beads of sweat. She never thought that the day would come when she would owe a human such a huge debt.
Zhou Weiqing's condition seemed worse than she had imagined. His aura was growing weaker and weaker, and the circulation of Saint Energy in his body was slowing down. It seemed like he would stop breathing at any moment.
'What should I do, what should I do!'
The Elven Queen was currently in a state of panic. If Zhou Weiqing died here… Forget about the repercussions, her own heart would not be able to accept this. Zhou Weiqing's injury was caused by her slap. This was unacceptable to the kind-hearted Elven Queen. If Zhou Weiqing died, this would forever be a nightmare to her.
Actually, this was the measure of her lack of understanding towards Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy. Even though Zhou Weiqing's aura was growing weaker, his body was still protecting itself. The reason why the Saint Energy's circulation had slowed down was merely due to the healing process. Zhou Weiqing, whose body contained Saint Energy, would not die as long as he could still breathe. He could recuperate through self-restoration. The time frame might be lengthy based on the severity of the wound.
This time, Zhou Weiqing's injuries were indeed heavy since he gathered all his power to kill the man in black. Moreover, he suffered a heavy attack from the Elven Queen. Due to that, very little Saint Energy was left in his body, and it stalled the healing process for his injuries by a large degree. Otherwise, a short period of time would have been enough to lighten his injuries.
Saint Energy was an energy of creation, and it placed the safety of its host at the utmost importance. It would never counter charge against its host. Hence, Zhou Weiqing was very safe. He would need at most two to three days' to recuperate.
However, even though Zhou Weiqing could wait, the Elven Queen could not! Her heart throbbed in agony as if it was thrown into a pan and broiled.
She lifted her head to the skies. It was slowly getting darker, and everything was quiet. It was as if the battle did not take place.
The Elven Queen looked at Zhou Weiqing as a complicated look slowly filled her gaze. She clutched her chest with her right hand many times before she relaxed it again.
"He saved my daughter. If it was not for him, I wouldn't have been able to do anything under that man's threats. However, I've hurt him, and his life is in danger. How can I think of my own matters so selfishly?"
The Elven Queen grumbled under her breath, and her gaze suddenly filled with resolve. She took a deep breath and slowly pulled off her lapel.
More specifically, the top half of her clothes disappeared on its own. The Elf Tribe were the sons and daughters of Nature. Even at the Elven Queen's level, her clothes were completely constructed with the power of Natural Energy.
As her snowy-white flesh was slowly unveiled, one could see that there was not a single flaw on her skin. It was absolutely delicate and tender. At this moment, she looked so pure and holy. A layer of faint, green light formed automatically around her body. This did not come from her. It was formed from the Natural Attribute elements in the air that sensed her aura.
As she glanced at Zhou Weiqing, the Elven Queen forced herself to contain her shivers and nervousness. She gritted her teeth and raised her arms. Subsequently, her long skirt vanished as well.
A pair of perfectly straight, slender and smooth long legs, like God's most beautifully crafted work of art, were displayed for all to see. Those long legs, perfectly round buttocks and wonderfully slender waist that could be held by a single hand, would drive any man insane.
The Elven Queen nibbled her lips with her ivory teeth before she took a deep breath. Her entire body gently rose into the air, and the green light around her slowly grew more vibrant. The brilliance from the green light made the Elven Queen's delicate body fairly discernible. She looked even more attractive.
The Elven Queen hovered directly above Zhou Weiqing's body as the green light around her body flickered. The vibrant green light whirled around the sky like a halo, swirling downwards and wrapping Zhou Weiqing's body within its brilliance.
At this moment, the life energy surrounding Zhou Weiqing's body had grown to a terrifyingly tremendous level. It was so terrifying that even if Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy was to amplify its absorption to the very maximum, it would never be able to absorb all of it.
Soon after, Zhou Weiqing's body slowly levitated above the ground. His already torn and tattered robes had turned into dust.
The Elven Queen looked at him. The resolve in her eyes slowly turned into gentleness. All complicated emotions seemed to have melted away, replaced by an indescribable sense of purity.
Suspended in mid-air, she bent her legs upwards and pulled them towards her chest. This made her perky buttocks look even rounder. At the same time, she wrapped her arms around her thighs, lowered her head and pressed herself firmly against her thighs. Her entire body was curled into a ball.
From behind, the Elven Queen's long green locks covered her delicate frame completely, especially the provocative parts from her waist down.
The Elven Queen released a dark green light from her body. At this very moment, she no longer looked like an elf but a bright and lustrous gemstone. A dense life force turned everything around her into the purest of substances, and a circle of green light slowly dispersed. It enveloped everything within a 100-meter radius of her in its bright radiance. The Elven Queen and Zhou Weiqing were at the core of this light.
The large life energy turned everything around the light into a dark green color. Then a bizarre sight occurred. The Elven Queen, still curled into a ball that was completely green in color, suddenly began to shrink in mid-air. She started becoming smaller and smaller.
In only ten breaths, she had turned into a dark green gemstone that was no bigger than a fist.
A light flashed. The dark green gemstone dropped itself onto Zhou Weiqing's chest as it slowly entered him.
After that, Zhou Weiqing, who was rich in Saint Energy, turned into a resplendent dark green shade. The faint Saint Energy in his body seemed to have received a powerful jolt of stimulation. It began amplifying in madness. Then, the Saint energy stopped the absorption and suppression of the life force. Using the unwavering power of Life Energy, Saint Energy was temporarily pushed aside.
Within the life energy also contained the dense fragrance of creation. However, instead of the creation of everything, it was the pure creation of life itself.
During the continuous rise of the tremendous life energy, Zhou Weiqing's body began to display sudden changes. First was the wound on his shoulders. The frightening swelling quickly subsided, and the veins in his body quickly reconnected at the peak of the powerful life energy. It became even more durable than before.
Zhou Weiqing's body already contained Nebula Saint Energy, and he already had the exceedingly powerful life energy. During the special usage of life energy, his already powerful life energy seemed to have increased by a few times.
Zhou Weiqing would be shocked if he was awake. He would never have thought that it was still possible for his body to evolve even further.
Waves of Tiger tattoos and Dragon scale markings slowly began to appear beneath his skin. Due to that frightening usage of life energy, everything began to fuse together.
Previously, when Zhou Weiqing went through a Dragon-Tiger Transformation, Dragon-shaped scales would appear on his body. His arms and right leg would go through the Demonic Change with his Dark Demon God Tiger Bloodlines.
However, this time it was different. The Dragon scales still appeared. However, it seemed like the Dragon Emperor Bloodlines and Dark Demon God Tiger Bloodlines were properly merging under the power of the life energy. The Dragon scales slowly turned black in color. And on where it was black, a grey Tiger tattoo slowly appeared. Apart from that, a bizarre image seemed to appear out of thin air on Zhou Weiqing's back.
It was a kind of divine beast. A fusion between a Dragon and Tiger. It had the head of a Dragon, the body of a Tiger, a Dragon's wings, a Dragon's claws and a scorpion's tail. It was as if a dragon and the Dark Demon God Tiger had merged together. Its color was the same as the color of Zhou Weiqing's skin. Its black body was covered with a Tiger tattoo, and it was filled with an icy, sinister energy.
Whether it was the Dark Demon God Tiger Bloodlines or the Dragon Emperor Bloodlines, these were the most powerful bloodlines around. Zhou Weiqing had allowed them to fuse before. But the two bloodlines had their own definite repellent natures. After that, following Zhou Weiqing's continuous rise in power, and the continued increase in Saint Energy's power, the repellent natures were not too apparent. Under the suppression of Saint Energy, the energy of the bloodlines would not snap at Zhou Weiqing or affect him in any way.
However, the fusion was not complete. It could not completely display the true might of the Dragon and Tiger. Even more so after Zhou Weiqing had begun to slowly comprehend the Demon God's energy and was able to summon the Demon God's projection. His Dragon and Tiger could be considered to have a lesser value compared to the amplification for his body.
Now, thanks to the peculiar Life Saint Energy filled with the creation of life that was provided by the Elven Queen, it provided the best catalyst for the fusion. Due to this, Zhou Weiqing's Dragon-Tiger bloodline was finally able to fuse perfectly together with his Demon Energy. It resulted in the current state of Dragon-Tiger Demon God Transformation.
Chapter 783
Zhou Weiqing's body began releasing layer after layer of frightening energy. As he has entered the Dragon-Tiger Demon God Transformation state, the scales on his body slowly vanished. The only thing that was changing was the color of his skin that had begun alternating between black and grey. His hair slowly turned grey as well, and his body began to emit an indescribably powerful aura. It was an aura of someone at the Heavenly God Tier.
This did not mean that Zhou Weiqing has already reached the Heavenly God Tier. However, the aura in his bloodlines seemed to have already reached the Heavenly God Tier. It was clear that if his cultivation base went through a breakthrough, would his body's capabilities still be limited to that of the Heavenly God Tier?
You could say that the combined effects of the Dark Demon God Tiger Bloodlines, the Dragon Emperor Bloodlines, and the Elven Queen resulted in the creation of a powerful bloodline that Zhou Weiqing has never possessed before. His cultivation base remained the same, but the frightening thing about the state of his body now was the fact that even dragons could not hold be compared to him right now.
With a gentle sound, Zhou Weiqing's body released a ball of dark green light. The dark green light then blossomed to reveal the Elven Queen. However, her face was now very pale as she yelped and spit out a small mouthful of blood.
The Elven Queen had fast reflexes. She waved her right arm and solidified her blood in mid-air. Then, a small, dark green bottle appeared in her hand. Under her control, the blood trickled into the bottle.
Once that was complete, she could no longer hold it in. Her body came crashing down from the sky and landed on Zhou Weiqing. The two fell to the ground at the same time with a soft thud before the Elven Queen lost consciousness.
The mystical feat displayed by the Elven Queen was one of the most mysterious abilities of the Elf Tribe, known as the Elven Heart.
Only adults of the royal lineage within the Elf Tribe would be able to harness the powers of the Elven Heart. Once the Elven Heart is released, you could move the heavens and earth to create the purest form of Life Saint Energy. Simply put, if the Elf Tribe were to be at risk of extinction, the strength of the elven soldiers would double and they would become immortal as long as the Elven Queen released the Elven Heart. Under these circumstances, even a Heavenly God-tier cultivator would find it difficult to kill the average Elf under the sustenance of the Elven Heart.
Therefore, the Elven Heart was considered to be the Elf's Tribe's final resort in ensuring their survival. Generally speaking, only Elven Queens of past dynasties would have access to such abilities.
For every Elven Queen, the Elven Heart can only be used once in her life. At this moment, the current Elven Queen of this era has utilized the one and only Elven Heart she had in her lifetime and given it to Zhou Weiqing.
You could say that the Elven Heart was more important to the Elven Queen than her chastity. This was a powerful ability that involved the Elf Tribe's lineage.
Mere moments ago, the Elven Queen could not think of any other way to save Zhou Weiqing, aside from utilizing this ability. With her heart clouded in remorse and a change in her psyche, she finally decided to utilize the Elven Heart.
Once an Elven Queen has used her Elven Heart, she must abdicate the throne within the next ten years, and allow the next Elven Queen to take over. It could be said that although the Elven Queen had attacked Zhou Weiqing and caused him heavy injuries, she has paid a far greater price. This would be beyond Zhou Weiqing's comprehension.
An Elven Queen who has utilized the Elven Heart would become considerably weaker. Her initially near-limitless Life Energy would become ten times weaker, and she would not even think of regaining her vigor in less than ten years.
Yet, she who has completed such a task displayed a delighted smile on her face. The Elven Queen did not regret her decision. If she did not do so and Zhou Weiqing died, it would probably bring destruction to the Elf Tribe all the same. Besides, she could never forgive herself for her mistake today. Furthermore, her daughter has been saved. The loss of one Elven Heart signified the growth of a new Elven Heart.
The Elven Queen may have lost her Elven Heart, but her daughter would certainly grow more rapidly as a result. Within ten years, with the help of the elders and the current Elven Queen, she would gain the ability to replace the Elven Queen.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Zhou Weiqing slowly awoke from his coma. When he recovered his state of mind, he felt a strange energy coursing through his veins. The strangest thing of all was that his Divine Thought seemed to have grown stronger than before. Without even having to deliberately sense anything, his spiritual world would light up immediately, and everything within his body was present in his consciousness.
'What is this?' Zhou Weiqing was stunned.
Be it his circulation, bones or internal organs, everything felt more durable than before, so powerful that it would make one boil with anger. On his bones, a faint layer of black-grey energy circulated continuously, glimmering with a faint fluorescent light. His entire body from head to toe was filled with a terrifying power that could tear through the heavens and the earth.
The Nebula Saint Energy in his body seemed to have received some sort of quenching, its originally pure gold hue seemed to have grown a few shades lighter and developed towards the direction of a white-gold shade. Even his cultivation base has actually broken through to the Upper Level of the Heavenly Emperor Tier.
What the f*ck! Was he dreaming? How was this possible? Even if he back-tracked through the Galaxia and absorbed four to five Heavenly Emperor cultivators' Heavenly Core Nucleus energy, he would not have increased that much. The changes to Zhou Weiqing's body gave him a strong otherworldly feeling.
"Mm?" Just then, he felt something soft on top of him, and opened his eyes instinctively.
The first thing that entered his gaze was a head of dark green hair. That faint Natural Energy melting into the purest of all fragrances gave Zhou Weiqing a carefree and relaxed feeling. He raised his arms automatically and held the delicate figure above him in his arms. The soft and supple feeling gave the guy a kind of reaction.
Who is this? None of his female companions had dark green hair!
Zhou Weiqing turned over, sat up and hugged the delicate figure close to his chest. However, once he saw the features on the pale face, his eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets as he narrowly threw the charming person in his arms away.
The sky is falling, the ground is caving in! What is the Elven Queen doing butt-naked in my arms?
Zhou Weiqing was so in shock that his elation immediately turned to naivety. He was not even this nervous during his wretched appearance with Dongfang Hanyue. His first thought was that if the Elf Tribe knew that he was hugging the Elven Queen, butt-naked on top of that, it would be impossible not to provoke the entire tribe into hunting him for his blood.
During this short period of shock, Zhou Weiqing did not dare to flip the Elven Queen off. Instead, he quickly looked left and right, dispersing his Divine Thought to ensure that there wasn't a single human within a radius of several hundred miles around them. He quickly pulled out a set of his own clothes and quickly put them on the Elven Queen. He then carefully placed her on the ground, and put on his own clothes. Only then was he able to recall everything that had happened.
The fight. The first thing that Zhou Weiqing remembered was the fight.
Earlier on when they began hunting down the man in black, Zhou Weiqing had already expected that the enemy might use the Elven Princess to threaten them and had made preparations for this.
Plainly speaking, he anticipated that the Elven Queen would descend into madness and attack him once he moved to attack the Elven Princess. At that moment, he had no way of warning the Elven Queen. No matter what methods he could have used to warn her, even a slight change in the look in his eye would put the man in black at height of anxiety. Besides, he was also a Heavenly Emperor-tier cultivator and would have been able to pick up on it. If that were to happen, their previous efforts would have gone to waste. It may also result in the little Elven Princess' death.
So, at that time, Zhou Weiqing could only grit his teeth and assume responsibility. The ball of white-gold light was a special ability that he had received after his promotion to the Heavenly Emperor Tier. It could temporarily utilize the nebula from the sky and explode into the most powerful offensive or defensive stance. This ability was the Nebula Cosmos.
Whenever he used Nebula Cosmos, Zhou Weiqing would temporarily receive Nebula Saint Energy at one level higher than his own instantly. That is also to say, that it is quite possible that he can only receive the white-gold Nebula Saint Energy once he entered the Heavenly God Tier.
In order to ensure the little Elven Princess' safety, Zhou Weiqing placed all of this energy into her body, without holding anything back. One can only imagine the terrifying might of Saint Energy at the Heavenly God Tier, so you could say that the little Elven Princess has profited from a disaster. Receiving Zhou Weiqing's own exceptionally purified Saint Energy would also render all attacks from the man in black against her completely useless. Under these circumstances, Zhou Weiqing and the Elven Queen would definitely be able to get her back.
This was Zhou Weiqing's plan. He had also thought of the Elven Queen's reaction, so when he released the white-gold light, he raised his defense to the highest level at that moment in time and stiffly endured the Elven Queen's attack.
However, he still underestimated the power in the slap of a Heavenly God-tier cultivator. His powerful defense was broken through and the full force of the Elven Queen's slap broke through his Ringless Ground Purging Set. It would be at least ten days before he could utilize the set. At the same time, she also broke through his Immortal Deity Shield and Demon God Protective defense. If Zhou Weiqing did not have so many defenses, coupled with the fact that his body was unyielding enough, he might have lost his life in that one attack.
Saint Energy was not all-powerful. If Zhou Weiqing was thoroughly destroyed, even his Saint Energy would not be able to save him.
Fortunately, Zhou Weiqing managed to endure it all and even used his final shred of strength to kill the enemy. Once he had completed this, he naturally heaved a sigh of relief. The enemy was dead, and the little Elven Princess was saved. No matter how stupid the Elven Queen was, she should be able to see what he had accomplished.
So, at the moment he lost consciousness, his face broke into a smile. The hint of craftiness was because he thought that this time, the Elven Blood was in his hand, for he had put in so much effort! He even ended up wounding himself.
