Chapter 715: Chapter 714: Be Your Own Bait
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years had passed.
On this day, Qin Changqing once again came to the Ziwei Palace, making his way into the midst of the Sun, Moon and Stars Great Formation.
If nothing unexpected happened, this time, Zi Wei should be able to wake up successfully and emerge from the stone.
Within the Sun, Moon and Stars Great Formation, Qin Changqing silently began to wait.
One year, two years, three years.
After waiting for several hundred years, finally, Zi Wei appeared.
“Husband, it should work this time.”
Zi Wei, upon seeing Qin Changqing, was overjoyed.
This time, she was as happy as a little girl.
She came to Qin Changqing’s side and talked nonstop for quite a while, sharing stories of her childhood and past experiences.
“Husband, I am leaving.”
A few years later, she said.
Once more, she entered the midst of the Sun, Moon and Stars Great Formation.
At that moment, Qin Changqing realized that Zi Wei Fairy was already enjoying half of the System’s enhancement.
This indicated that she had truly fallen in love with Qin Changqing, her heart belonging to him, except her body wasn’t yet his.
A few years later, the entire Sun, Moon and Stars Great Formation started to operate at high speed.
All the suns, moons, and stars began to emit a soft glow.
A massive quantity of Immortal Stones was crushed, filling this small world with energy.
This energy swiftly converged toward the very center.
One could see that the stone statue of Zi Wei Fairy was healing at an astonishing rate.
In a short period of time, all the stones on the surface of the statue had fallen off, and her body was fully restored from the inside out.
“Husband!”
Within the Sun, Moon and Stars Great Formation, Zi Wei threw herself into Qin Changqing’s arms.
At this moment, she was no longer just a phantom.
Perhaps it was because she had just emerged from the stone, her body still felt a bit cold.
Qin Changqing gently held her.
Over these tens of thousands of years, Qin Changqing had grown quite fond of Zi Wei, who was like a young girl.
Zi Wei clung to Qin Changqing, hugging him tightly for many minutes before finally letting go with reluctance.
“Husband, we can now be together~”
She said happily.
However, she had only just recovered and needed to rest properly.
Qin Changqing was in no hurry.
“We are a step too late,” he said.
One day, when Qin Changqing and the Ancient Emperor found a new world, that world had already been drained dry.
According to the Ancient Emperor’s estimation, this world must have been drained a thousand years ago.
“It seems,” she speculated, “the Evil Ghost Dao is spreading once more.”
Qin Changqing pondered for a moment, then said, “He has only been gone for a thousand years; he can’t be far off. Maybe we can lure him out.”
He was ready to put an end to this “Great Terror.”
Qin Changqing had also studied the Evil Ghost Dao. In his observations, this “Great Terror” was not much stronger than the one he had previously killed.
Not all “Great Terrors” were once at the level of the Immortal Emperor or the Great Dao Saint.
“You plan to use me as bait, don’t you?” the Ancient Emperor asked.
Qin Changqing shook his head, “No, I’ll be the bait myself.”
Luring out the “Great Terror” was not difficult. After draining a world, the creature would tend to not stray too far, needing time to assimilate what it had consumed. So it must be hiding somewhere nearby.
Therefore, within a thousand-year radius, Qin Changqing only needed to be a bit “careless,” releasing slightly more of his aura to be detected by the other party.
As expected.
Merely a few hundred years later, when Qin Changqing arrived at a certain place, the environment around him suddenly underwent a drastic change.
An ominous shadow, seemingly larger than a world itself, abruptly appeared.
Without uttering a word, the entity launched its attack immediately.
“Hah.”
With a cold smirk, Qin Changqing boosted his aura, and a massive Sword Array swiftly rose up around him.
The roles of hunter and prey instantly reversed.
“Aaah~”
Accompanied by screams of agony, that “Great Terror” was thoroughly vanquished by Qin Changqing.
The battle, while not brief, was not particularly long either.
This time differed from the last time, when the fight took place in the Divine Spirit World. Although breaking through the World Crystal Wall was not difficult for the “Great Terror,” escaping ultimately became more challenging.
In the Chaos Sea, it would have been easy for the “Great Terror” to flee.
Regrettably, it had underestimated Qin Changqing and had not chosen to flee immediately.
Qin Changqing’s strength as a Quasi-Saint had deceived it.
Even without using Forbidden Origin Force, these beings were a match for Quasi-Saints.
An average Quasi-Saint might not be able to defeat one.
Once it used Forbidden Origin Force, the creature would instantly gain the strength of a Saint. In such a state, it naturally would not fear Qin Changqing.
And then, it was killed by Qin Changqing and the Ancient Emperor together.
After the Ancient Emperor became a Semi-Saint, her strength had increased significantly, allowing her to join Qin Changqing in combat.
With her there, killing that entity became that much easier.
