Chapter 771: Chapter 34: Flame Blood

This Fushan Bo has been sitting in the first position for billions of years. His strength is considered top-notch among the High-Level Chaos Creatures. The gap between him and the peak strongmen among Chaos Creatures is not large.

“An almost limit-trained Cosmic Treasure, third-generation Chaos Creature bloodline, and his self-created Space-Time Divine Skill has reached Perfection? The various Origin Level Secret Techniques he has cultivated are all perfected?” Lin Qing looked at the first-ranked Fushan Bo and was secretly astonished.

“How about it?” Tianchuan Bo said, “I wonder which rank the strong person Mr. Qin Lin brought can achieve in the Lord Ranking Battle?”

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, “This Fushan Bo seems quite strong. I wonder whether his self-created Space-Time Divine Skill is a standalone Divine Skill or a Combined Divine Skill?”

“Of course, it’s standalone.” Tianchuan Bo sighed, “Combined Divine Skills are rare, and merging into Space-Time Rules is even more difficult.”

“If that’s the case…” Lin Qing nodded thoughtfully.

“Actually, Flame Blood Uncle, who ranks second, is stronger than Fushan Bo.” Tianchuan Bo said, “Flame Blood Uncle has cultivated his Lifebound Cosmic Treasure to the limit. Although his bloodline development is slightly inferior to Fushan Bo’s, Flame Blood Uncle is actually stronger in strength. It’s just that Flame Blood Uncle is seriously restrained by Fushan Bo, so he is ranked second.”

He shook his head and said, “That’s why Jueying Star says Flame Blood Uncle is the strongest on Jueying Star, and he is also a Direct Disciple of an Eternal being.”

“Oh?”

Lin Qing glanced and said nothing, only saying, “I’m not sure if I can help Uncle Qishui reach first place, but I’ll try.”

“Oh?” Tianchuan Bo was a bit surprised.

He merely mentioned it, not expecting the other party to really have such strength and connections, not only possessing great personal strength but also able to invite strong people comparable to Fushan Bo and Flame Blood Uncle?

However, this made him even more curious about the identity of the other’s master, as even such level of strong people were considered trivial by the other party, who dared not trouble his master.

Could he really be a disciple of an Eternal being?

“Alright, I’ll get in touch with Lord Qishui for you.”

Tianchuan Bo slightly nodded, then handed Lin Qing a Space Crystal and said, “This is the witch’s reward and the ten thousand pieces of Cosmic Sand for purchasing the God-seeking Mirror. Please take it.”

After Lin Qing accepted it, it wasn’t long before Tianchuan Bo said, “Lord Qishui has replied to me. Would you like to meet him on the Second Cosmic Network now?”

“Alright.” Lin Qing nodded.

…

Lord Qishui is a tall woman with a gentle yet holy aura, with a beautiful face and tender eyes like water. She spoke softly, only glancing at Lin Qing without questioning anything.

“No wonder when I used the Destiny Dice to predict my luck today, I found it extremely good.”

Lord Qishui smiled at Lin Qing and said, “So it’s Mr. Qin Lin who brought you here. Since Lord Tianchuan also said so, I trust him and I trust Mr. Qin Lin.”

However, she shook her head slightly, saying, “But this Destiny Dice is one of my family’s ancestral treasures. I am bound by a karmic oath, so I cannot sell it to outsiders, and the family’s elders will watch. Even for ten million Cosmic Sands, it’s the same.”

“Impossible?” Lin Qing frowned slightly.

“No need to rush, Mr. Qin Lin,” Lord Qishui said gently, “I wonder what Mr. Qin Lin wants the Destiny Dice for? If it is just borrowing, that might not be a problem.”

Lin Qing relaxed a bit and said, “Lending it to me is fine. I can return it to you in at most thirty million years.”

“That’s doable,” Lord Qishui nodded slightly, “but once it’s lent out, there’s a risk of it being lost, so I must make prior arrangements with Mr. Qin Lin.”

“Please go ahead,” Lin Qing nodded.

The real value of this Destiny Dice is estimated to be above two hundred thousand Cosmic Sands, so it’s normal for the other party to be cautious.

“First, Mr. Qin Lin cannot take the Destiny Dice out of Jueying Star.”

Lord Qishui said, “Second, the time and fees for Mr. Qin Lin borrowing the Destiny Dice depend on what ranking Mr. Qin Lin can help me achieve in the ranking battle.”

She looked at Lin Qing, “If you can’t help me get into the top five, let’s not mention it again. If the ranking is fifth, give me thirty thousand Cosmic Sands, and I’ll lend it to you for thirty million years. For each rank up, I’ll reduce the fee by ten thousand.”

Lin Qing said, “So, ranking second is a free loan, what about ranking first?”

“First?” Lord Qishui laughed, “If so, I’ll not only lend it to you for free but also give you an additional ten thousand Cosmic Sands.”

“Oh?” Lin Qing nodded slightly.

“Moreover, I must remind you,” Lord Qishui said, “this ranking battle, I’ll only promote it. The participants are either Mr. Qin Lin or those you invite.”

“That’s enough,” Lin Qing said.

“Quite confident, aren’t you?” Lord Qishui looked at him with surprise, “Since that’s the case, I’ll start contacting the lords to prepare for the ranking battle.”

She gave Lin Qing a meaningful look, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you; this is a life and death battle, and if you lose your life, you can’t blame anyone else.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly, not saying much.

After he left the Second Cosmic Network, Tianchuan Bo inquired, “How did it go? Was it smooth?”

“The talks went well,” Lin Qing nodded, “Lord Qishui was straightforward and agreed without even testing my strength.”

“Naturally,”

Tianchuan Bo laughed, “she neither needs to dispatch anyone nor join herself. She only needs to initiate the ranking battle. If it fails, she loses nothing; if it succeeds, she gains significantly.”

Lin Qing wasn’t bothered, just asked, “How long might it take?”

“That’s hard to say. If a lord is occupied elsewhere and can’t come, unless they give up, we’ll have to wait a bit longer. But no more than a hundred thousand years, anyway,” Tianchuan Bo said.

“At most a hundred thousand years?” Lin Qing nodded slightly.

Though indeed a bit long, he wasn’t in a rush for these hundred thousand years, as there were still over thirty-four million years left on his deadline.

…

During the waiting days, Lin Qing’s Black Flame Clone continued to cultivate in seclusion, attempting to break through the final bottleneck of ‘Future Vision’ merging with space-time mysteries.

Meanwhile, his body wandered around Jueying Continent, purchasing some precious materials in passing.

—These were for repaying debt. He had long owed a debt by prepaying for the Supreme Secret Technique. Now, he finally gathered the materials.

As for the Supreme Secret Technique, he had already been cultivating the terrifying secret technique “Cosmic Tribulation Body,” which surpasses the supreme level, so he only cultivated the secret technique “Endless Divine Radiance” to make up for the domain aspect.

Although with just ten thousand Cosmic Sands, he couldn’t gather enough precious materials to cultivate “Endless Divine Radiance” to the Low-Level Chaos Creatures’ limit, he could prepay.

After all, secret technique cultivation heavily relies on aptitude and external factors. Outsiders wouldn’t know how much his aptitude demands external resources.

In a blink, over eight thousand years passed.

Except for the twelfth-ranked Xian Dark Lord, the other eleven lords had all arrived.

…

On Jueying Star, within a desolate expanse like a vast desert, streams of light could be seen descending deep into the desert.

The scorching winds pervaded the desert. Ordinary Void Creatures could hardly survive for a second here, instantly incinerated to ashes.

“Lord Qishui, you’re confident about initiating the ranking battle?”

A male lord with long water-blue hair smiled as he looked at Lord Qishui, “Have you found some powerful subordinates? How many ranks can you advance this time?”

As he spoke, he cast an amused glance at Lin Qing standing behind Qishui.

“You’ll see when the time comes.” Qishui smiled slightly, then glanced at Lin Qing standing at her side rear, and communicated telepathically, “Mr. Qin Lin, where is the helper you promised to invite for the Lord battle?”

“Don’t worry, already here,” Lin Qing communicated telepathically, “They will appear when needed.”

“Oh?” Qishui was slightly surprised.

Her perception ability hadn’t detected the presence of high-level Chaos Creatures nearby — it seemed extraordinary?

Suddenly, in the distance, a patch of dark red blood cloud surged, slow yet swift, spreading rapidly, as if dyed by endless blood, exuding an extremely intense stench of blood.

“Qishui.”

A cold, indifferent low voice emerged from the blood cloud’s depths: “Because of you, I had to pause important matters in Qianshan State and return. If you don’t have a satisfactory explanation, you can’t blame me for getting angry.”
