31. A phantom image of a crimson giant sword, and the divine pearl stirs.
Thinking this way, Ling Bingtian gradually recovered from his confusion. With the help of the divine pearl, he was sure he wouldn't end up being exploited by the selfless god-king.
At this moment, Ling Bingtian turned his attention back to the changes in the scene.
Just then, Ling Bingtian was surprised to see that the God of Destruction, who had just been furious and arrogant, had fainted on the ground along with the other three God Kings.
At that moment, the man in black unleashed a crimson flame, which, to the horror of the gods, flew into the forehead of the leading blue-robed god-king.
"what?"
Looking at the familiar face of the Blue-Clad God King, and recalling the portraits of the original Shrek Seven Devils that his elders had shown him, he felt a surge of emotion.
Ling Bingtian immediately recognized that this blue-robed God King was none other than Tang San, the true leader of the original Shrek Seven Devils, who had thwarted the Spirit Empire's goal of unifying the continent ten thousand years ago!
Many places on the Douluo Continent revere His existence, but Ling Bingtian, who knows his background, finds it difficult to feel any reverence for him.
To be honest, I don't feel any aversion to him; it's just that among the books I've read, I actually appreciate him quite a bit.
But later, with growth and experience, coupled with the disgusting things he did during his second period, he...
That's so disgraceful!
For various reasons, Ling Bingtian was surprisingly unmoved when he saw Tang San fall to the ground in pain after being struck by the crimson flames unleashed by the man in black.
Perhaps, after experiencing too much disappointment, one becomes numb.
Seeing Tang San fall to the ground, a golden-haired deity standing beside him became indignant and stepped forward to try to negotiate with the man in black.
For some reason, Ling Bingtian couldn't hear their conversation. But the golden-haired deity standing next to Tang San was, by all accounts, Dai Mubai.
The man in black didn't say much to Dai Mubai; after a few words, he quietly disappeared.
His disappearance caused another change in expression on the faces of the gods present.
Seeing their reactions, Ling Bingtian realized that the black-clad man's disappearance might also be a very clever tactic.
Before long, six figures arrived at Tang San's side, guarding him. Ling Bingtian recognized them from their distinctive features.
The original Shrek Seven Devils!
Just as the other six monsters arrived at the Blue-Clad God King's side, Ling Bingtian saw Him kneeling on one knee with a distorted expression, seemingly howling in pain.
Immediately afterwards, He fainted, following in the footsteps of the five god-kings before Him.
As soon as He fainted, many of the gods around Him showed changes in their expressions, their gazes shifting between greed, contemplation, and eeriness.
Upon seeing this, the other six of the original Seven Monsters also turned to face the surrounding gods, maintaining a vigilant posture.
This was the last scene Ling Bingtian could see. After seeing this, Ling Bingtian felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
When he came to his senses again, all the gods had disappeared from his sight.
Instead, he was met with a scene that shocked him.
A phantom image of a crimson giant sword!
The phantom of the crimson giant sword was incredibly tall, standing amidst a black curtain, with the surrounding specks of light seemingly merely its backdrop.
"Wait? A black curtain with specks of light?"
Ling Bingtian realized something was wrong, and upon closer inspection, he was astonished to discover that the location of the crimson giant sword phantom was remarkably similar to the cosmic map he had seen in his previous life!
"Could it be that this giant sword phantom is standing horizontally in space?!"
Ling Bingtian was filled with doubt and uncertainty as he made his guesses.
Besides, that inexplicable sense of familiarity surged into Ling Bingtian's heart once again, but this time, what he felt was a severe headache, unlike when he looked at the man in black before.
Holding his head, Ling Bingtian forced himself to look at the phantom of the crimson giant sword. Judging from the last scene of the gods, the Ice God had not been attacked.
Therefore, the reason for the anomaly in the smaller plane can only be this phantom of the crimson giant sword.
"hiss--"
Enduring a severe headache, Ling Bingtian tried to take a closer look at the phantom of the crimson giant sword.
After a careful look, Ling Bingtian did not find that this giant sword phantom had many differences from ordinary swords.
The only two special features were two things: one was on the blade of the giant sword, where, amidst the flickering shadows, Ling Bingtian seemed to see two familiar characters.
However, because it was a phantom, Ling Bingtian couldn't see the two words clearly.
The other is a noticeable bead-like object at the very bottom of the hilt of the greatsword.
This bead-like object is also the most solid in color and shape on the entire phantom of the giant sword.
It shone with the brightest crimson light.
Just as Ling Bingtian was about to take a closer look at the bead-like object, a sudden feeling of palpitation welled up in his heart.
The divine pearl, which had been motionless in the sea of his own spirit for so long, moved!
It was at this moment that Ling Bingtian was surprised to discover that a mysterious character was faintly emerging from the divine pearl on his spiritual sea.
Ling Bingtian was certain that he had never seen this character before, but the moment he saw it, he knew its meaning.
book!
"Book?"
"What does this mean? Why did the divine pearl on the sword hilt react so strangely? Could that bead-like object also be a divine pearl...?"
A flood of questions filled Ling Bingtian's mind, leaving him utterly bewildered.
The divine pearl did not stop moving despite Ling Bingtian's doubts. It slowly rose from Ling Bingtian's sea of consciousness in a rotating state, emitting a large amount of icy blue light.
At the very instant the divine pearl shone, the enormous crimson sword phantom seemed to sense the divine pearl within Ling Bingtian's body, and suddenly burst forth with a large amount of crimson light, as if responding to the divine pearl, illuminating the entire black space around it.
The crimson light did not last long. In just a few breaths, the crimson giant sword phantom, along with several nearby points of light, disappeared from Ling Bingtian's sight.
However, the icy blue light of the divine pearl within Ling Bingtian's body did not disappear. While shining with intense light, the character symbolizing "book" on the divine pearl also suddenly shone brightly.
As soon as it lit up, the scene in front of Ling Bingtian changed, and he stepped out of the picture and saw the familiar divine ice crystal again.
However, compared to the intense light it shone before, Ling Bingtian now saw that the ice crystal's light had dimmed considerably, and it was continuing to dim at an extremely rapid pace.
Ling Bingtian keenly noticed that there was only one clear channel on the ice crystal that channeled the divine power out of it—his own arm.
At this moment, Ling Bingtian's arm, which was pressed against the ice crystal, became crystal clear, and a continuous stream of divine power flowed through the ice crystal into his body. However, Ling Bingtian did not feel that his body or mental power had been strengthened.
After carefully sensing it, Ling Bingtian discovered that all the divine power flowing from the ice crystals into his body was actually surging towards the divine pearl in his sea of consciousness.
The divine pearl was like an unfillable abyss, greedily absorbing the divine power that originally belonged to the Ice God.
At the same time, Ling Bingtian noticed that the cracks that had been spreading all around had stopped and were even beginning to heal slowly. The price to pay was that the eight ice crystals on the altar, like the one in front of Ling Bingtian, quickly dimmed.
At this moment, Ling Bingtian dared not remove his arm from the ice crystals. Although he did not know what had happened, he vaguely sensed that this was to his advantage.
Time passed slowly, and soon, the divine power contained within the eight ice crystals was completely absorbed by the divine pearl within Ling Bingtian's spiritual sea.
When the divine light within the ice crystal reached its limit, the character "书" (book) on the divine pearl also emitted its most dazzling light.
The intense light momentarily blinded Ling Bingtian, and when he regained consciousness, the scene before him stunned him.
