Chapter 202 Refining Qi! The Cycle of Reincarnation!
With Ye Mingqiu's enchantment and aura enhancement, the battle between humans and gods became increasingly fierce. The terrifying divine power fluctuations tore the earth apart, destroyed the city walls, and even injured some mortals watching from afar from the aftershocks of the battle.

King Zhou led his army and looked at King Zhou, who was fighting against the gods, with a furrowed brow.

As the king of the human race, he certainly knew that humans could not defeat the gods, but the fact that King Zhou could fight the gods to this extent with the Phoenix Armor showed that his strength had deeply impressed him.

A gaunt, withered old man with a giant vulture perched on his shoulder grinned sinisterly and said, “King Zhou, congratulations! Your great undertaking has been accomplished today. You have obeyed the will of Heaven, punished the rebellious tyrant, and demonstrated righteousness in the world. The divine race wishes to bestow upon you the title of Emperor on the day of your success.”

"."

King Zhou remained silent, only watching King Zhou of Shang, who was fighting against the gods in the distance. If he was confident in fighting against the gods, why would he want to become a new puppet of the gods?
But history has taught us too many lessons. The more we understand the strength and power of the gods, the harder it is to muster the belief and will to resist. He, who once had a high-spirited desire to save humanity, has now embarked on a path he never imagined.

To become the next servant of the gods, replacing the previous one who was not useful.

另外
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant actually killed many of his soldiers on his way here, and even beat Li Jing to death. Is this what the gods are like? Even a traitorous member of the gods is still arrogant and domineering?

Even so, King Zhou still dared not say anything more, because the status of the human race was so low that they could not disobey the gods.

"The fight over there is fierce. Aren't you going to help him?" Ye Mingqiu looked at the white-clad swordsman not far away, a playful smile on his face.

He could sense that this guy was quite strong. Although there were no special fluctuations or any enhancements like the Phoenix Armor, the white-clad swordsman was still a top-tier overlord, possibly even stronger than some powerful figures.

After humans acquire the ability to refine Qi, the divine characteristics of the gods will be greatly reduced by the power of Qi refinement. A sufficiently powerful human overlord can surpass a god who possesses divine characteristics.

For example, if it were a poisonous ghost tree, he would most likely be no match for this white-clad swordsman.

"."

The white-clad swordsman remained silent, watching Ye Mingqiu in silence, while also glancing at King Zhou, who was battling the four great gods and gradually gaining the upper hand.

Clearly, he was wary of the Bloodthirsty Tyrant. Although the tyrant had just killed two great gods, it still did not make the white-clad swordsman feel at ease, because the Bloodthirsty Tyrant was a neutral being in chaos and could suddenly erupt at any time, potentially attacking anyone.

"Do you think he can win? With the power of the Phoenix Armor alone?" Ye Mingqiu asked again.

"."

The white-clad swordsman remained silent.

"Snapped!"

Ye Mingqiu snapped his fingers, and the pitch-black demonic flames burned in his hand. The power from the Myriad Manifestations Authority amplified the flames, and the small wisp of black flames emitted a heart-palpitating fluctuation.

He held it in his palm, a smile playing on his lips, and looked at King Zhou fighting in the distance, saying, "I don't like boring things. If you don't want to answer, I don't mind making the battlefield more interesting."

"you!"

The white-clad swordsman was immediately shocked, his fist clenching instinctively. Judging from the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's style, he was very likely capable of doing such a thing.

So, he braced himself and replied, "The power of the phoenix is ​​the most supreme primordial divine power, even more ancient and powerful than the divine power of other great gods. Moreover, those great gods also expended a considerable amount of divine power in their battle with you. If I'm not mistaken, your dark domain has the ability to devour divine power, right?"

"good eyesight."

Ye Mingqiu praised him, and then said, "How about you teach me how to refine Qi? I think it's quite interesting."

Qi Refining is essentially a power that allows those without divine characteristics to possess the potential to challenge deities. Mastering Qi Refining allows one to resist the suppression brought by divine characteristics to a certain extent and unleash power beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

This cultivation method is extremely valuable. If one could obtain it, analyze its principles, and obtain theoretical results, the benefits would be considerable.

“You are a god, unable to cultivate Qi, so don’t waste your energy,” the white-robed swordsman replied.

"I don't care if you're a god or a human, I just want to try it out. Just teach me the techniques, otherwise, I'll add some spice to the battlefield."

Ye Mingqiu toyed with the black flame and asked, "You don't want to see King Zhou killed either, do you?"

"!"

The white-clad swordsman gritted his teeth, his face showing resentment and anger, but considering the high probability that this guy really could do such a thing, he could only sigh helplessly and say:

"Qi cultivation, in essence, is a process of incorporating the Qi of heaven and earth into the body. The techniques involved are: to cultivate Qi, one must open the mind's eye, open the acupoints, and guide Qi. And..."

"Hmm, ummm."

Ye Mingqiu casually took out a notebook from his storage space and listened while taking notes. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask a couple of questions, and the white-clad swordsman would answer seriously.

After a while, Ye Mingqiu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Oh, I see. I understand the general principle now. Do you have any other techniques for cultivating Qi? You can tell me about them too."

"As a member of the divine race, you actually study human Qi cultivation. You're quite the oddball. You're unlike any other member of the divine race I've ever met. You're a strange fellow," the white-robed swordsman said helplessly.

The cultivation method of refining Qi is not rare or precious for people at their level. As long as they are patient and willing to search, they will find it sooner or later.

Moreover, the gods likely already have basic information about Qi Refining within their ranks. However, since human Qi Refining poses little threat to the gods, few people care about it, and the Bloodthirsty Tyrant probably hasn't paid much attention to it either.

Today, on a whim, he asked me about cultivation methods. There's nothing wrong with telling him; it won't cause any major impact.

So he began to explain casually.

"Oh, I see. Hmm, I understand!"

After a while, Ye Mingqiu revealed an incredibly bright smile, closed his eyes, and almost instantly sensed the Qi that was floating in the world. He tried to absorb and accept that Qi, but he could not sense or attract it.

His body is indeed unable to cultivate Qi.

Seeing this, the white-robed swordsman smiled knowingly and said, "The physique of the gods is different from that of humans, and they cannot cultivate Qi. I told you this before."

"How would I know how I failed if I didn't try it myself? Exploring and understanding power is a very interesting thing in itself."

Ye Mingqiu lowered his head and clenched his fist, releasing the power of the Demon Abyss from his body. The effect of [Demonic Energy Devouring] burst forth, devouring the Qi contained in the surrounding environment. The dark power continued to expand, and the power he could control became stronger and more stable.

Sure enough, it is possible to temporarily enhance one's strength by using knowledge of Qi Refining.

He cannot draw upon Qi or refine it into his own body, but he can actively absorb Qi through the effects of Demonic Abyss Power and Demonic Energy Devouring, thereby indirectly strengthening Demonic Abyss Power. This is also a very good way to use it.

The dark power transformed into demonic flames once more, and the power fluctuations emanating from its surface were even stronger than before. Ye Mingqiu smiled and said, "Look, isn't this fire burning even brighter?"

"monster."

The white-clad swordsman frowned. The Bloodthirsty Tyrant's ability to learn and research was even stronger than he had imagined. This guy didn't seem to be just a madman who only knew how to fight; he also had a special talent for improving his strength.

This is normal, though. If he didn't have any special talent, he wouldn't have such great strength now.

Just as the two were talking, a terrifying roar suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Roar!!!"

A dragon's roar swept down from the heavens, unleashing a powerful infrasound wave. The sound was not merely a howl, but a destructive shockwave. Countless humans were stunned by the roar, some even fainting with their eyes rolling back. Even the six great gods and King Zhou at the heart of the battlefield were briefly dazed. It was the roar of a higher being, the ancient black dragon.

Countless humans fell, and everyone on the battlefield of Chaoge fell into a coma. Among them, there was only one exception.

That is Ye Mingqiu.

[Note: Your abnormal status resistance has been successfully assessed. Your control effect resistance has also been assessed. You are immune to the control effect of this Dragon Shout.]

He raised his head and slowly looked at the enormous black dragon descending from the sky. Its body was longer than the mountains, and the pressure emanating from it was closer to the concept of godhood than any other great god. Just standing on the ground and looking at it would subconsciously give rise to a sense of inescapable terror.

This is the ancient black dragon.

Ancient Black Dragon (Level 10 Deity)

[Race: Ancient Divine Beast]

Lifespan: 25w

[Attributes: Strength: 850, Agility: 790, Constitution: 1000, Spirit: 780]

【ability:???】

"What an amazing ancient mythical beast."

Ye Mingqiu narrowed his eyes. This ancient black dragon was weaker than the heavens, but it was also an ancient being with the strength of a level 10 god. It was a true god-level combat power, far inferior to those overlords who only possessed god-like characteristics.

It's no exaggeration to say that the ancient black dragon only needed a single strike to kill a group of ordinary gods.

As expected of a world marked by the spirit realm, it truly possesses terrifyingly powerful beings.

Not only that
Ye Mingqiu always felt that there were more powerful people in this world than just these, and there should be more gods, or top-level powerhouses close to gods, such as the Phoenix. That guy gave him the feeling that it was very close to the ancient black dragon, and its peak strength was probably a level 10 god-level powerhouse.

The armor formed from the phoenix possesses unparalleled power. Even among overlord-level equipment, there are differences in strength. The phoenix armor, being an overlord-level piece of equipment, is clearly the most top-tier overlord-level.

Colorless Divine Power

Buzz!

An invisible force surged forth, and terrifying divine power swept across the entire battlefield in an instant. The world lost its color, and an absolutely shocking power descended, erasing the colors of this world, leaving only black and white in everyone's eyes.

An overwhelming sense of oppression descended, and breathing became difficult within this terrifying realm. The culprit behind all this, Tian, ​​was now descending from the ancient black dragon with powerful strides.

With each step he took, countless lives were lost. Those humans clutched their necks, their eyes rolled back, foam came out of their mouths, and they died in despair.

The Supreme Heaven
He has actually descended to the mortal realm himself!
His gaze swept around, gradually settling on the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, who remained unaffected by the ancient black dragon's roar, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes. Then, as if remembering something, he smiled slightly and said softly, "You're quite an interesting fellow."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Ye Mingqiu replied with a smile. His sense of hostility was amplified to the extreme at this moment. Even he felt pressured in the face of this level 10 god.

Now, his strength is indeed very strong. When he unleashes his full power, he may not be able to challenge even gods of the same level. However, Tian is a level 10 god, not a level 7 god. Moreover, he is a level 10 god who has reached the absolute limit, which has long surpassed the limit that Ye Mingqiu can challenge.

The six great gods and King Zhou awoke to find that their surroundings had turned black and white, becoming a world of only black and white. Only the great gods and the phoenix feathers on King Zhou's body retained their colors; everything else had turned black and white.

This is the power of colorless divine power!

What's even more terrifying is that this was just a domain that naturally formed after the heavens released a small amount of divine power, not a domain that was released at full power, but even so, it was enough to make everyone tremble with fear.

Ye Mingqiu quietly released a small amount of divine golden power. The divine light instantly dispelled the black and white, restoring the environment around the light spot to its original state.

Clearly, divine power has a certain degree of restraint effect on this field. After all, the base strength level of divine power is 2.8, while the base strength level of divine power is 3.0. Divine power is stronger than divine power, and with a slight restraint effect, divine power will obviously have the upper hand.

After confirming the situation, Ye Mingqiu quietly withdrew the small amount of divine power, as if nothing had happened.

This scene was also witnessed by the white-clad swordsman who had been watching him.

'The realm of heaven.'
'It could actually be cracked from the inside!'
'This guy is ridiculously strong!'
However, judging from the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's behavior, he doesn't seem to want to fight against the heavens. The most likely reason is not that he is afraid to fight, but that he is temporarily unable to defeat them. If he were confident in defeating the heavens, he would definitely take action against them.

He absolutely dares to do that!
The next moment, Tian arrived in front of King Zhou in an instant, looking down at the mortal wearing the Phoenix Armor, with two dragon heads growing from his back letting out a low roar.

"Monkey, why do you rebel against me? I created everything you possess: the world, the laws."

he asked.

"We can live just as well without your rule, and besides, we are human beings, not monkeys," King Zhou shouted sternly.

"Hmm, that's really interesting. I've lost count of how many times I've heard this said to me, but every time I hear it, it gives me a strange feeling."

Tian wore a calm smile. Faced with King Zhou's resistance, he was neither angry nor annoyed, but rather felt a sense of enjoyment.

The others present couldn't understand or know what Tian meant, but Ye Mingqiu, as a psychic, understood perfectly.

Heaven is the transcendent.

Although he was born as a native of this world, over endless time and years he has transcended the limits of the world, thus gaining a connection with the spirit world and becoming a transcendent being who has transcended the cycle of reincarnation.

In general, most transcendent beings would choose to leave their original world to see a broader future, but he chose to stay here and reincarnate again and again. It seems that he wants to witness something, to grasp something, and to gain something in the cycle of reincarnation.

After a brief exchange, the battle between Heaven and King Zhou begins, a one-sided crushing defeat. Heaven suppresses King Zhou with absolute power, seemingly no different from the previous cycles of reincarnation.

Ye Mingqiu, who was sitting and watching the battle, walked towards the six great gods. The gods subconsciously retreated, fearing that this guy would just pick up the blood spear and chop them all down.

Ye Mingqiu stopped helplessly, put on the kindest smile he could muster, and asked, "What did Tian do while I was away? Can you answer that?"

"sky?"

Tian Kui frowned in confusion, then said, "He's still the same as before, he usually lives in Crystal Mountain. Why do you ask that?"

"nothing."

Ye Mingqiu said nothing, but silently watched as Tian forcefully suppressed King Zhou and killed him as if it were a routine task.

After finishing everything, Tian didn't linger. He didn't even bother to look at King Zhou again, and rode away on the ancient black dragon. His actions didn't seem like he was acting out of fear, but rather like he was clocking in for work and going home to sleep after finishing everything.

"The waters of this world are very deep."

Ye Mingqiu sighed inwardly.
