Chapter 351: Chapter 158: The Fifth Demon God—Destruction Ming King Appears! (End of Month Request for Monthly Tickets)

Xu Qing was aboard the East Sea, seizing the opportunity to wreak havoc amidst the chaos.

Meng Yuxuan had already sent scouts ahead to gather intelligence. Upon receiving signals from the scouts, Meng immediately set the naval ship in motion, along with the surrounding warships setting sail.

The warships around the East Sea had already returned to rescue and extinguish fires. Furthermore, the lack of unified command resulted in a highly disordered formation.

When Meng Yuxuan’s navy arrived, they immediately launched catapults, bows, arrows, and other sharp weapons.

Harnessed by the fire and starlight, the amassed weapons were precisely released under the tight military formation and quickly defeated the opposing warships into disarray.

The blazing fire illuminated the night sky.

Amidst the chaos that spread like a tide on the East Sea and its affiliate warships, as well as among the East Sea’s pirates, confusion escalated under the assault of the navy, leading to rampant trampling among themselves.

Meng Yuxuan, leading his guards, personally boarded the aflame East Sea.

His martial skills were exceptional. Even without Refining Internal, he managed by relying on medicinal aids and practicing Superior Skills. Coupled with his innate talent, his combat strength was comparable to that of ordinary Refining Internal Masters.

Moreover, his gunmanship was simplified and consisted entirely of battle-tested lethal moves, extremely potent against ordinary pirates.

The moment he stepped onto the deck of the East Sea, Meng Yuxuan slew the four pirates who approached him, seized the initiative, and charged into the enemy ranks.

He soon spotted Xu Qing.

Xu Qing’s Wuji Saber, amidst the depth of enemy lines, was unstoppable wherever it swung.

The blade emitted a bizarrely hot and radiant thunderous light. Striking the enemy would immediately paralyze their whole body, depriving them of combat ability. The Strength Force would even infiltrate the enemy’s body, causing blood to spill from all orifices, leading to their death.

Before long, more and more naval troops boarded the East Sea, rendering the pirates disabled. The pirates scattered, jumping into the sea or fleeing to Dongming Island in small boats.

The Jinghai Guard navy finally controlled the situation at dawn.

This surprise attack orchestrated by Xu Qing had perfectly concluded.

Afterward, Meng Yuxuan managed the aftermath, ordered fire extinguishing, captured the East Sea Gang’s warships, and controlled the battlefield situation.

Having been supported by Meng Yuxuan and others, Xu Qing regained his senses.

He first dove into the water to retrieve a wooden box and brought it onto a navy ship. Finding the person inside still breathing, he brought them into his room to rest.

The wooden box was naturally opened but he didn’t immediately wake the person inside.

Xu Qing placed the Wuji Saber across his lap, feeling utterly peaceful within.

In the heat of battle, the Five Thunders Saber Technique finally reached Great Success. He and the Wuji Saber even established a bond as if connected by flesh and blood during the fierce fights. Instead of feeling the emptiness that usually followed killing, he felt an unprecedented fulfillment and satisfaction spiritually.

Regardless, the battle significantly advanced his Divine Soul Cultivation.

But right now, these were not the most important things.

Xu Qing focused his attention on the bronze mirror, specifically on the Outer Heaven Demon section.

These four characters appeared particularly intense, with strands of vivid red intertwined around them. As soon as he focused on them, he had an overwhelming urge to destroy this murky world.

He felt a innate sense of destiny.

He then checked the lifespan section; it showed no special changes.

"Three years and three months."

It was three years when he first recovered from a severe illness and almost two years had passed now, yet his lifespan remained the same.

Although he had attained some power of Holy Virtue, the subsequent effects could hardly compare to the first time.

Was a short lifespan his fate?

Xu Qing felt increasingly like no matter how he struggled, the net of fate was tightening inexorably around him.

His thoughts of anger grew stronger, emitting an aura akin to a Demon King descending to the mortal realm.

Meanwhile, inside his Sea of Consciousness.

A golden Demon God with four heads and eight arms, only an indistinct outline, with a vertical eye on the forehead, rose from Xu Qing’s insubstantial Sea of Consciousness.

A boundless, seemingly world-burning, cataclysmic red fury emerged.

Xu Qing instinctively recoiled, forcefully pulling back his Visualization Method.

The indistinct golden Demon God seemed reluctantly to dissolve slowly.

"These Five Great Demons are ultimately the Yin Demon of my Divine Soul, and once they grow, they pose a risk of splitting my soul," Xu Qing had a moment of enlightenment.

With his current Cultivation level, he was not yet able to control the Fifth Demon God, Destruction Ming King, and even its mere outline posed a risk of losing control.

The upside was that he had finally made some progress in the Visualization Method of the Fifth Demon God.

If he encountered an exceptionally formidable foe, it would be an additional ace up his sleeve, although the outcome was difficult to control and it was best not to employ it unless absolutely necessary.

On another note, whether Xu Qing admitted it or not, his actions increasingly resembled those of a Heavenly Demon on earth.

To cultivate one’s behavior, one must first cultivate the heart.

Driving one’s inner devilish thoughts makes one immortal; being driven by devilish thoughts and desires makes one a Heavenly Demon.

It’s normal for people to have desires, but excessive desires harm both oneself and others.

"I have been in this world for two years, like a dream or illusion, akin to morning dew. How can we speak of immortal and indestructible paths of gods and demons?" Xu Qing shook his head, no longer dwelling on these troubling thoughts.

If life is fleeting, one should live the present to the fullest.

To break through, one must seize the moment!

He opened the window of the room; the sea breeze and sunlight rushed in.

Additionally, accompanied by a moan, the beautiful woman awakened.

She felt a headache and weakness, and as her eyes met the sunlight draping over a young man’s shoulders, she felt momentarily as if she was in another era.
