NOVPUBIn fact, the blood was merely a disguise of the petal itself.
Xu Zimei’s right hand waved slowly, with the spiritual energy flowing through his hand.
The blood color on the surface of the petal began to be absorbed bit by bit.
By the time the blood color had been completely absorbed, the petal seemed to have undergone a great transformation.
It was transparent and looked incredibly clear.
This clarity and purity was the most pristine thing Xu Zimei had ever seen thus far.
It was crystal clear, seeming to be without a single speck of dirt.
It was even more pure and unsullied than the lotus flower which rises out of the mud unsoiled.
"Do you still recognize this?" Xu Zimei asked with a smile.
When the Hell Turbid Qi saw the transparent petal, it kept retreating backward incessantly.
It desperately tried to escape, but Xu Zimei blocked it each time.
"Don’t you even say hello to an old friend? How heartbreaking," he said.
Xu Zimei said with a smile. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Epoch Purification Qi, what a nice-sounding name!"
"What on earth do you want to do," the Hell Turbid Qi shouted in terror.
"I’m using you to refine something," Xu Zimei replied indifferently.
Then he was seen slowly taking out the petal.
With the continuous influx of spiritual energy, the petal completely dissipated.
A stream of pure Qi flew out from inside the petal.
Under Xu Zimei’s control, the Epoch Purification Qi slowly merged with the Hell Turbid Qi.
No matter how desperately the Hell Turbid Qi resisted, it was futile.
At the moment when the pure Qi touched the turbid Qi,
loud rumbling explosion sounds came from within.
Crackle and pop, the two energies mingled and cohered together.
One pure, one turbid!
As the two masses of Qi rose up into the sky, the clouds in the firmament changed in an instant.
It was as if time had returned to the dawn of that epoch, to the era of heaven-splitting and earth-dividing.
The pure Qi rose to form the heavens, the turbid Qi descended to form the earth.
Heaven and earth controlled everything, and within the vast Great Dao, there came to exist the agency of divine punishment.
And the two masses of Qi before Xu Zimei were, in fact, the first pure Qi and the first turbid Qi from the beginning of the epoch.
...…
The Epoch Purification Qi within the purple box wasn’t found by Xu Zimei.
This purple box was the very one he had asked Chi Qianxue for earlier at the Chi Family.
The Epoch Purification Qi inside was also placed there by the Ice Snow Emperor back in the day.
The origins of the matter can be traced back to the era of the Great Emperor of the Three Blades.
In fact, few people knew that the Great Emperor of the Three Blades and the Ice Snow Emperor were couple during their youth.
Latter, while bearing the mantle of destiny at Annihilation Ridge, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades discovered this mass of Hell Turbid Qi.
The true reason why Annihilation Ridge transformed from a dangerous place to a forbidden land,
was not because the Great Emperor of the Three Blades had killed too many, but because of this Hell Turbid Qi.
The Great Emperor of the Three Blades, who carried the mantle of destiny, knew he couldn’t completely eradicate the Hell Turbid Qi and decided to seal it instead.
He hoped that in the boundless sands of time, the evil energy would gradually dissipate.
He also continuously searched for the Epoch Purification Qi.
Unfortunately, on the eve of his ascension, he still hadn’t found it.
Latter, he used his divine power to aid his partner, the Ice Snow Emperor, in reincarnating and starting cultivation anew.
After his ascension to the Upper Realm, the new era’s Ice Snow Emperor also shouldered the destiny of the times.
The Epoch Purification Qi was eventually found by the Ice Snow Emperor.
Regrettably, the Hell Turbid Qi was very powerful at that time.
Even though it was sealed, it wasn’t that easy to eradicate.
It could absorb the turbid Qi of the epoch itself to battle, preventing the Ice Snow Emperor from using the pure Qi to assimilate it.
In the end, the Ice Snow Emperor could only helplessly seal the pure Qi within the purple box,
placing his hope on future generations, that over time, the Hell Turbid Qi would weaken,
and then make use of the pure Qi to assimilate it in one fell swoop.
...
Of course, there were unexpected occurrences.
In these tens of thousands of years, the Hell Turbid Qi not only failed to weaken but actually grew stronger and stronger.
It finally broke the seal and emerged.
Xu Zimei had no choice but to place it into his True Fate World.
He severed its connection with the Yuan Central Continent to prevent it from absorbing the Epoch Turbid Qi to recover.
Actually, it was a last resort; Xu Zimei would not normally allow unknown beings into his True Fate World.
Doing so greatly increased the risk of exposure.
At this moment in the sky above, the Clear Qi and the Hell Turbid Qi had already fused together.
One clear, one turbid.
Within this sphere of Qi, countless visions appeared, with numerous scenes rotating within.
At times fierce storms raged, and demons morphed from Hell Turbid Qi ravaged the entire world within the boundless Hell’s Purgatory.
At times the sky was clear and vast, and the ascension of the Clear Qi purified the whole world, making everything seem so bright and clear.
These scenes continuously changed.
Xu Zimei sat cross-legged.
He had expended so much effort, and naturally, his purpose was not out of the kindness of his heart to eliminate the Hell Turbid Qi.
In his past life, he had obtained a combat technique from the Mythical Era.
"Heavenly Punishment Divine Pupil!"
It was a combat technique related to the pupils.
Once trained, his eyes could turn into Heavenly Punishment.
In battle, the endless Heavenly Punishment would descend like Divine Might, catching the enemy off-guard while also being incredibly powerful.
However, training the Heavenly Punishment Divine Pupil required the fusion of Clear Qi and Hell Turbid Qi.
And the more powerful the Clear Qi and Hell Turbid Qi, the stronger the Heavenly Punishment Divine Pupil would be.
In his past life, he had no opportunity, and thus the technique lay dormant.
In this life, ever since he and Xiao Guizi saw Annihilation Ridge in the Hundred Thousand Mountains,
Xu Zimei had been scheming for it.
And he was using the very first strand of Epoch Clear and Hell Turbid Qi.
...
At this moment, Xu Zimei sat cross-legged, with the two spheres of Qi fully fused above him.
The eyes are one of the most fragile organs in the human body.
They are also the most crucial.
Xu Zimei could not afford to be careless.
He started by slowly using the Creation Force to open up the meridians around his eyes.
The clearing of each channel brought excruciating pain.
Even blood began to trickle down slowly.
When all the meridians that needed clearing were dealt with, Xu Zimei waved his hands.
The two spheres of fused Qi instantly flew towards him.
The fusion of Clear and Hell Turbid Qi was just an indispensable part of training for the Heavenly Punishment Divine Pupil.
As soon as the Qi entered his eyes, Xu Zimei felt a cool sensation spreading through all the nerves in his brain.
Just like the spring water in the scorching heat of September, all the pain disappeared without a trace.
Afterward, Xu Zimei took out the other materials he needed from the Storage Ring.
Nine Skies Thunderbolt Stone, Thunder Dragon Fruit, Thousand Illusion Electric Pattern Flower, Blood Spirit Grass...
A plethora of various materials were taken out.
At this moment, as Xu Zimei slowly absorbed the power from these items,
he gathered all this power on his eyes, refining them bit by bit.
The process was incredibly lengthy and the pain was agonizing.
Any small mistake could potentially lead to blindness.
...
Meanwhile, in the outside world, the apocalyptic scene that had been unfolding seemed to gradually dissipate.
Although Annihilation Ridge was somewhat shattered, the evil Qi that filled the sky began to slowly fade away.
Many people looked up at the position of the Firmament.
