Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin: I Set Taboos in the Heavens

"Everything should belong to me. I think you can all build a great alliance with me at the center."

Fang Qingping's calm voice echoed in the silent stone chamber.

He wants to subdue these people.

It's not just about preserving the present legacy, but also about bringing this elite force from the Ancient Road to Divinity under your complete control.

These people, even if they seem like "minions" in this divine tomb, are all supreme emperors who can awe a region of the immortal realm and establish their own sects in the outside world.

Their energy levels are generally between 20 and 40. When they unite, they will be a terrifying force capable of shaking any power.

However, which of these masters present wasn't arrogant and domineering?

Getting them to submit to a suddenly emerging "contemporary" young man, even if the other party's strength is unfathomable, is by no means an easy task.

Sure enough, as soon as Fang Qing finished speaking, a low murmur of discussion and dissatisfied groans rose from inside the stone chamber.

"Hmph! What a boastful tone!"

A middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, surrounded by a chilling demonic aura, sneered. His energy index was about thirty-five, and he was a veteran demonic master. "I, the master of Blackwood Cave, have traversed the Ancient Road to Divinity for many years, and I have never heard of anyone who could gather us all under my command."

"Not bad!"

Another old man, dressed in a star-patterned Taoist robe and carrying an ancient sword, also spoke up. He was an elder of the Mysterious Demon Sect of the Heavens, and his aura was strange and powerful. "Our Mysterious Demon Sect has been independent since ancient times. How could we easily submit to others?"

Even Xing Jiansheng, the young master of the Star River Sword Sect who had been silent all along, raised his head at this moment, his eyes revealing a hint of rejection.

The experts from the Star River Sword Sect around him were all brimming with sword intent, and they clearly would not accept such a proposal.

Just as everyone expressed their refusal and dissatisfaction, and the atmosphere became tense again, Fang Qing made a move.

He didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, it opened its mouth and inhaled sharply into the frozen, shocked soul of the Golden Sword God in the center of the stone chamber.

"call--!"

An indescribable power of devouring erupted from Fang Qing's mouth.

It was a terrifying power capable of devouring everything and melting all things.

In an instant, the golden light that shone brightly, containing the supreme sword pressure, and the divine soul that should have been indestructible, instantly collapsed and transformed into the purest and most surging torrent of golden divine power, which Fang Qing swallowed into his stomach without any effort.

"Boom!"

It was as if a universe was boiling and exploding inside Fang Qing's body.

The incomparably pure divine soul essence of the Golden Sword God, which contained the essence and power of his life's swordsmanship, was rapidly decomposed and absorbed under the crushing and melting of his chaotic inner world and the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, and transformed into a part of his own power.

Countless profound sword techniques, golden principles, and the true meaning of breaking through illusions fused and collided wildly with the many Daoist techniques and supernatural powers originally within his body.

His energy level began to soar wildly once again.

In just a few breaths, his energy index increased by nearly two hundred points, reaching a breathtaking level.

This is just the beginning!
The divine soul origin of the Golden Sword God was so powerful that the sword dao truth and divine power contained within it were enough to allow Fang Qing's strength to maintain rapid growth for a considerable period of time.

Inside the stone chamber, a deathly silence fell once more.

This time, it was truly deathly silent; you could barely hear a breath!
Everyone, including the Blackwood Cave Master, the Secret Demon Sect Elder, and Xing Jiansheng, the young master of the Star River Sword Sect, stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock and horror beyond measure!
What did they see? The divine soul and will left behind by an ancient god, containing terrifying sword power, was actually... actually swallowed whole by the person in front of them.

Moreover, it seemed effortless, as if he had swallowed a normal burst of energy.

This matter was completely beyond their comprehension. All the words of rejection and the groans of dissatisfaction they had expressed earlier were now stuck in their throats, and they couldn't utter a single word.

joke!

How can I refuse?

The strongest among them only had an energy index of thirty or forty, and their combined combat strength was no more than two or three hundred points.

The person before them, with just the devouring techniques and soaring aura they had just displayed, had already far exceeded the limits of their combined strength. Moreover, their aura continued to surge wildly even after devouring the divine soul of a Divine Lord.

This gap in strength cannot be bridged simply by increasing numbers.

That was an absolute crushing defeat in terms of one's own class.

Like a group of strong ants facing a dinosaur capable of devouring mountains, any thought of resistance seems so laughable and pale in the face of absolute power.

In the deathly silence, an indescribable fear and helplessness spread through everyone's hearts.

They understood that if they didn't take a stand, their fate would likely be no better than that of the devoured divine soul.

In the end, it was that expert from the "Mysterious Demon Sect of All Heavens" who was the first to lower his proud head.

His voice was hoarse, tinged with resentment, but mostly with helplessness and submission: "I am... the young master of the Secret Demon Sect, the Secret Sacrificial Heaven, and I am willing... willing to be the first to submit to Alliance Leader Fang!"

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee without hesitation and bowed his head to Fang Qing.

At the same time, a jet-black spiritual mark, yet shimmering with an eerie demonic light, flew out from his forehead. It was a wisp of his original demonic soul, signifying absolute submission.

Immediately afterwards, he generously shared some of the core techniques and secret formulas of the Mysterious Demon Sect of the Heavens with Fang Qing through his divine sense.

One of them is the Supreme Demon Sword, a mysterious and unpredictable demonic sword technique that specifically targets the primordial spirit.

There is also "Great Power Subduing Demons," a demonic art that imitates the true meaning of subduing demons in Buddhism, but is even more domineering and ferocious.

There is also "Black Moon Rising," which is an evil technique that draws upon the power of the dark moonlight to corrupt all things.

There is also the "Secret Demon Sacrifice to Heaven," a forbidden technique involving sacrifice, which uses a special price to gain terrifying power for a short period of time.

These unique skills are all closely guarded secrets of the Mysterious Demon Sect, possessing immense power and unpredictable mysteries.

The secret sacrificial ceremony was both an expression of sincerity and a hope to gain Fang Qing's attention and preferential treatment by using these unique skills.

With the secret ritual leader taking the lead, the others no longer hesitated.

The Blackwood Cave Master's expression shifted several times before he finally sighed and knelt on one knee: "Blackwood Cave is willing to submit to Alliance Leader Fang!"

The most surprising one was the young master of the Star River Sword Sect, "Star Sword Life".

Although his eyes were still only on the way of the sword, at this moment he slowly lowered his head, which he had never lowered before, towards Fang Qing.

He did not kneel, but the gesture of bowing his head was the greatest expression of submission.

Seeing this, the experts from the Star River Sword Sect around him followed suit.

In an instant, throughout the entire stone chamber, apart from Dao Ancestor Qingyi and a few scattered cultivators who had already been intimidated by Fang Qing, the remaining fifty-odd elite experts from various forces along the Ancient Road to Divine Connection all expressed their submission to Fang Qing in various ways.

These fifty-odd people were all powerful individuals with an energy index of over 20, with some even reaching 30 or 40.

Their combined energy index easily surpassed the 700 mark.

Seven hundred energy points are equivalent to the combined combat power of seven hundred ordinary Great Emperors.

What a terrifying force this is! When concentrated, it's enough to turn the entire Guardian Alliance upside down and wipe out all the trillion Immortal Realms under its command, utterly destroying them.

When these powerful individuals sincerely submitted and generated corresponding faith power, far away at the headquarters of the Guardian Alliance, in the "Hall of Heavenly Dao Operation".

Fang Qing's avatar, which remained here to guard and handle alliance affairs, sensed an unprecedented, vast, star-like, pure and powerful torrent of faith surging from the direction of the Divine Tomb, traversing endless time and space, and flowing into his body, connecting more closely with the "Map of the Myriad Realms" that he possessed.

This power of faith was too vast and too pure; it came from more than fifty powerful individuals who were at least at the "Great Emperor" level.

Their faith, even if each person has only a trace of it, when combined, far exceeds the total power of faith generated by the hundreds of millions of ordinary cultivators and believers in the Guardian Alliance.

Inside the hall, Huo Liao and the other core members of the Protectorate Alliance, who were reporting to Fang Qing's avatar, couldn't help but prostrate themselves on the ground with a thud under the sudden, terrifying pressure of faith. They looked up at the avatar on the Alliance Leader's throne, their faces filled with indescribable shock and awe.

"How...how could this happen?"

Emperor Huo Liao's voice trembled as he sensed the source of that torrent of faith, each stream containing a powerful aura that made his heart tremble.

"This faith... is so powerful! It's far more powerful than the combined faith of all the believers in our Guardian Alliance!"

"This is the belief of many emperors!"

Biluo's eyes flashed with divine light, "What exactly did Qing do in the Tomb of the Gods? How could he make so many powerful people willingly offer up such pure faith?"

They could clearly sense that the faith power of ordinary believers that they usually received and refined was like fireflies trying to compete with the bright moon in the face of this vast, star-like, and extremely high-quality torrent of faith before them—they were simply not on the same level.

This extremely powerful force of faith not only made Fang Qing's clone's aura even more profound and unpredictable, but more importantly, it created a deeper resonance and connection with the "Myriad Realms King Map" that Fang Qing possessed!

The Myriad Realms King Map is an ancient treasure containing countless world planes and can communicate with and attract the fortune and vitality of all the heavens and myriad realms.

Now, driven by the faith of more than fifty emperors, the Myriad Realms King Map has undergone a strange change.

Some hidden planes in the picture evolve and expand on their own, and a strange primordial energy with a strong "divine" aura seeps out from the depths of the scroll.

It was a strange primordial energy that appeared bluish-green, yet was interspersed with wisps of blood-red lightning.

The moment this vital energy appeared, it emitted a terrifying aura that made one's soul tremble and one's blood boil.

"This is... 'Azure Blood Thunder Essence'!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Qing's clone's eyes.

Azure Blood Thunder Essence!

Legend has it that this is a unique phenomenon of primordial energy found only in the realm of gods.

Above the heavens of the divine realm, a terrifying "Azure Blood Divine Lightning" occasionally appears. Strange blood descends amidst the lightning, and that blood is the condensation of "Azure Blood Lightning Essence".

This vital energy contains the dual mysteries of divine punishment and life force, and is extremely divine.

For cultivators, obtaining even a single drop of pure "Azure Blood Thunder Essence" can greatly stimulate their potential, cleanse their physical body and soul, and provide immeasurable benefits to experts at the Mythical Realm level who attempt to ascend the "Immortal Throne" or the Immortal Ladder.

This is a rare treasure even in the realm of gods!
Now, the Myriad Realms King Map has actually generated "Azure Blood Thunder Essence" on its own after absorbing powerful faith power.

This means that the potential of the Myriad Realms King Map is being continuously explored, and it has even begun to come into contact with the rules and energy of the divine realm.

Fang Qing's clone immediately transmitted the message to his main body, who was in the Divine Tomb, and also issued an order: prioritize the distribution of these "Azure Blood Thunder Essence" to the core members of the Guardian Alliance, especially Yang Qi, Biluo, and others, to help them break through quickly.

This decision immediately caused a huge uproar among the top leaders of the Guardian Alliance.

After Yang Qi and the others obtained that extremely precious "Azure Blood Thunder Essence" and began to absorb and refine it, their strength indeed began to soar wildly.

Especially Yang Qi!
He had already cultivated the supreme divine skill "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique," possessing profound foundations and boundless potential. Now, under the stimulation and baptism of the divine substance, Azure Blood Thunder Essence, his Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique had once again achieved an astonishing breakthrough.

"boom!"

Within Yang Qi's body, it was as if ancient divine elephants that had been dormant for hundreds of millions of years suddenly awakened, and boundless divine power burst forth from his body. Behind him, a divine elephant, more solid and majestic than ever before, filled with an aura of domination, stepped forward with its head held high.

Furthermore, countless profound and mysterious golden incantations, filled with holiness, vastness, and perfect bliss, were naturally recited from the mouth of the divine elephant phantom.

Each of these incantations seemed to be divine script, containing supreme power and mystery.

They combined and circulated in the void, forming a brand new, awe-inspiring supreme divine mantra.

"The Holy, Vast, Perfect, and All-Ruling Mantra!"

The name and profound meaning of this divine incantation naturally surfaced in Yang Qi's mind!
This is another form of the divine-level qigong "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength".

This qigong form is a mantra. Reciting this mantra represents the holiness, vastness, and perfection of the ancient divine ruler, who presides over everything! Its power is terrifyingly unparalleled!
It can invoke the authority and power of the sovereign in the dark, allowing the caster to gain terrifying abilities such as the power to make one's words become law and to control everything within a certain range.

It can greatly suppress the enemy, amplify itself and allies, and even communicate with and draw upon the mysterious "will of dominion" to unleash a devastating attack.

Yang Qi felt extremely excited as he experienced this newly born supreme divine incantation.

He knew that this was not only a huge leap in his own strength, but also the result of the "Azure Blood Thunder Essence" brought by Alliance Leader Fang Qing and the stimulation of that powerful faith power.

At the same time, Biluo and several other core members of the Guardian Alliance who obtained the "Azure Blood Thunder Essence" also broke through their original bottlenecks and their strength increased significantly.

The overall strength of the entire Guardian Alliance has experienced an unprecedented leap forward due to Fang Qing's tremendous gains in the Divine Tomb.

In contrast, look at the tomb of the gods.

Having subdued over fifty experts from the Ancient Path of Divine Transformation, devoured the soul of the Golden Sword God, and sensed the good news of the "Azure Blood Thunder Essence" and the soaring strength of the alliance transmitted by his clone, Fang Qing felt increasingly pleased.

He looked at the experts who had already shown their submission, smiled faintly, and his voice echoed throughout the entire stone chamber.

“Very good. From now on, you will be the first members of the Divine Tomb Vanguard Army under my Guardian Alliance. In this Divine Tomb, you must absolutely obey my orders, explore together, and share the spoils. After you leave, you and the forces behind you will become an important pillar for the Guardian Alliance on the Ancient Road to Godhood.”

"Rest assured, by following me, you will gain far more than you lose."

His words were full of confidence and assertiveness, and possessed a power that compelled people to believe him.

Those experts who had just submitted felt their resentment and unwillingness lessen slightly upon hearing the words "share the spoils" and "get more."

After all, an existence capable of easily devouring the soul of a divine lord must possess formidable methods and resources.

Moreover, only a small part of the Divine Tomb has been explored so far. Following such a powerful figure would greatly increase the safety and the possibility of gaining rewards.

After finishing the tasks at hand, Fang Qing turned his gaze to the depths of the stone chamber.

There, after the Golden Sword God's soul disappeared, an altar made of pure golden divine crystal was revealed.

Three things floated silently above the altar.

A golden sword-shaped talisman exuding endless sharpness, a three-foot-long sword that is dark gold in color, simple and unadorned yet awe-inspiring, and a storage bracelet filled with various divine metals, divine materials, and elixir bottles and jars.

This is the entire legacy left behind by the Golden Sword God.

With a wave of his hand, Fang Qing sent the three items flying into his hand.

He examined them briefly, then put away the sword-shaped talisman and the storage bracelet. He then held the dark gold longsword in his hand and played with it for a moment.

"A fine sword, a complete divine weapon, you can have it."

With a flick of his wrist, the dark golden longsword transformed into a streak of light and flew toward Qingyi Daozu, who was standing to the side.

Qingyi Daozu was taken aback, then her face lit up with surprise, and she quickly reached out to catch it.

Although she majored in the Law of Ice, swordsmanship was also one of her areas of expertise.

This divine sword, a weapon of divine power, significantly boosted her combat strength.

More importantly, this represents Fang Qing's recognition and respect for her as a "partner".

"Thank you very much, Alliance Leader Fang!"

She bowed respectfully.

Fang Qing nodded slightly, then turned around and looked at the exit of the stone chamber.

There, the golden barrier had disappeared, revealing a passage leading deeper into the tomb.

"With this matter settled, let's continue our journey!" (End of Chapter)
