Heavenly Jewel Change Volume 7 (Chapter 259-Chapter 308)

“Zhou Weiqing, my biggest mistake was my failure to realize that you possess Saint Energy. However, just because of that, do you think that I’m unable to deal with you? Do you think that all of you are able to seal me forever? You are not the Dragon Emperor after all.”


On the other side of the light curtain, the Lord of the Nether’s body stopped swaying abruptly. His icy cold voice, that seemed to be coming from the depths of the Netherworld, caused one’s soul to tremble. His pincers seemed to stop resisting the attacks; even the original Destructive Energy between the pincers had been quietly withdrawn, allowing the massive Saint Energy to enveloped the enormous pincers, which caused them to be pushed back at an even more rapid speed.

“Lord of the Nether, are you still struggling on your deathbed? You no longer have a chance to make a comeback.” Zhou Weiqing did not let his guard down despite the fact that the Lord of Nether had suddenly given up resisting against his attacks. Instead, he increased the output of his Saint Energy. Furthermore, for some reason he felt a sense of uneasiness, albeit faintly. It did not seem as though the Lord of the Nether said that without any basis.

At this very moment, the enormous pincers that were emitting dark green luster suddenly stopped moving. They had stopped moving in the process of being suppressed downwards. Regardless of how much Saint Energy Zhou Weiqing mobilized, they did not budge.

What is happening? This is impossible! Zhou Weiqing, as well as the other Divine Beasts, were utterly shocked. Could it be that the Lord of the Nether had received more Destructive Energy from elsewhere? However, he was originally already that powerful. Furthermore, his odds were better than they were earlier on. Why did he not use such a powerful energy earlier, and only waited till this moment?

At this moment, streaks of dark green lightning appeared above the enormous pincers. Even the pure Saint Energy that was released via Zhou Weiqing’s Saint God Core Nucleus continuously disintegrated upon contact with the dark green lightning. An extremely terrifying aura was violently released from the pincers, resulting in the Saint Energy from the seal to be pushed back by a dozen meters.

The dark green pincers gradually changed colors, turning into a clear shade of black, like a black crystal. The streaks of jet black lightning in the surroundings had become more intense as well.

Fortunately, the intimidating black lightning seemed to only be revolving within the immediate surroundings of the Lord of the Nether’s pincers, continuously destroying the Saint Energy that approached them.

What kind of energy is this? Zhou Weiqing could not comprehend. Looking at the enormous pincers, he could not help but have a doubtful look in his eyes.

“Zhou Weiqing, you should feel proud for being able to push me into such a predicament. So, right now, it’s time for you to die.” The cold voice resounded within the formation. The black lightning around the pincers abruptly inflated. Indistinctly, Zhou Weiqing seemed to have seen cracks appearing on the Lord of the Nether’s enormous pincers.

“This is bad - his pincers are about to self-detonate. Weiqing, be careful,” said the Sidhe Empress, whose voice came from a distance away from the formation. However, this time, it was different from when she helped Zhou Weiqing resist against the Lord of the Nether’s attack. The formation had already been restored. Without the approval of Zhou Weiqing, who was the core of the formation, she was unable to charge into the formation, despite her cultivation base.

Self-detonation? The moment Zhou Weiqing heard that word clearly, an extremely violent explosion sound was erupted from underneath him - which was the most central location of the seal’s formation.

That did not merely cause energy fluctuations - even souls trembled violently. The violent explosion sounds erupted, accompanying the emergence of a clear black halo.

In an instant, Zhou Weiqing’s state of mind was shaken up. It seemed as though the entire formation was about to crumble in the blink of an eye.

However, at this moment, the complicated symbols within the formation, that had already turned into a shade of white-gold, were all lit up. They emitted a dense divine light and powerful Saint Energy was erupting from every single symbol. Even though a massive amount of Saint Energy in the center of the formation had been destroyed by the black light that was spreading, the black halo was forcefully being pushed back within an area, with a 300 meter diameter, and were unable to charge any farther.

Originally, the Lord of the Nether’s pincers had already disappeared. A massive black vortex had taken over their place. Evidently, even though they had self-detonated, the Lord of the Nether’s Destructive Energy was not powerful enough to break through the seal’s formation that was almost completed. On the contrary, after the detonation of the pincers, the area on the formation that was originally being broken by the pincers was sealing up at an alarming rate.

Even though the Destructive Energy that erupted was powerful, it was ultimately being melted down by the Saint Energy. As long as the seal’s formation was complete, the Lord of the Nether was done for. What he was currently doing was akin to taking poison in an attempt to quench his thirst.

However, would the Lord of the Nether do something as pointless as such? Especially when he was on the brink of death?

Even though the seal’s formation was not destroyed as a result of the self-detonation, the Saint Energy in the surroundings was forcefully pushed away. After all it was a part of the Lord of the Nether’s body that detonated - the Destructive Energy that was released as a result was definitely massive.

Hence, a vacuum was created in the center of the formation, while the black Destructive Energy vortex that was formed from the explosion was condensed. In an instant, it swept directly towards Zhou Weiqing and Tian’er.

The size of the vortex was not considered too big. However, the Destructive Energy stored within it was terrifying - it seemed as though it was entirely being condensed by the original Destructive Energy.

At this moment, Zhou Weiqing had two options - firstly, he could take Tian’er with him and leave the core of the formation in order to dodge the Destructive Energy vortex. He was the center of the formation, hence he could leave as he wished.

However, if that was the case, it could destroy the almost perfected and completed seal’s formation, which was in the midst of closing up. Nobody knew whether or not the Lord of the Nether was able to take the opportunity to break out of the seal, if that were to happen. At this moment, the final breach in the formation down below had not been sealed by the Saint Energy. Once the effects of the formation had disappeared, the possibility of the Lord of the Nether breaking out could be very high. Hence, everything that they did would be in vain.

Zhou Weiqing’s second option was to ignore the Lord of the Nether’s attack and attempt to thoroughly seal the formation at full force. However, he would have to bear the brunt of the terrifying fatal attack and even if he survived, he would be severely injured.

At this moment, the determined look in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes, when he was channeling his energy to Zhou Weiqing, flashed across Zhou Weiqing’s mind. Zhou Weiqing, who had always been fearful of death for as long as he could remember, made the most resolute choice in his life at this very moment.

The first thing that Zhou Weiqing did was to release his Saint Energy. A bout of gentle yet resilient energy erupted from within his body, lifting Tian’er’s body, who was hugging him, and sent it to one side via the manipulation of the Saint Energy in the surroundings.

At the same time, his body did not budge at all - he did not even look at the powerful Destructive vortex. Instead, he mobilized the Saint Energy with all his might and channeled it into the seal’s formation, causing the formation to be at its most effective state.
