Chapter 3556 - The Fifth God Crystal

In the midst of Mount Shen, there are currently seven battlefields embroiled in a fierce war.
Among these seven battlefields, the divine realm holds the upper hand in three of them, namely the battlefield of the Hui Xuan Legion, the battlefield of the Duan Wu Jian Legion, and the battlefield where Shi Qian is stationed.
In a place of void, round moons hang high in the air, releasing an endless essence of chilling ice. Amongst the many moons stands a figure of a young man, shrouded in a hazy glow cast by the moonlight, as if he is there yet not there.
That figure is named Dugu Qiong, the successor of the Lord of the Netherworld.
If you observe carefully, you would notice that Dugu Qiong's complexion is somewhat pale, and there are intense fluctuations of divine power emanating from his body, indicating that he has been injured in the previous battle.
And his opponent, surprisingly, is Ji Xuan.
"You are not my match," Ji Xuan said calmly, without a hint of fluctuation in his tone.
"The outcome is still undecided; it's not yet known who will emerge victorious," Dugu Qiong's voice was extremely cold. As a direct disciple of the Domain Master, he could not easily be defeated by someone from the Divine Realm. No matter the cost, he was determined to win this battle.
"A shrimp trying to shake a tree." Ji Xuan uttered a voice, and upon hearing these words, Gugu Qiong's expression instantly turned extremely unpleasant. This person is too arrogant, daring to mock him as a shrimp. Does he think he is invincible in the world?
Ji Xuan's expression was indifferent as she stretched her palm forward. Then, a pale gray crystal flew out from her palm, instantly giving birth to a terrifying sense of desolation that swept through the world. The icy presence in the void disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared before.
"That is..." Dugu Qiong's heart trembled suddenly, his gaze fixated on the grey crystal with immense shock, and a terrible thought flashed through his mind.
Could it be the Abyssal Crystal, one of the Six Heavenly God Crystals?
In the next moment, the people from other battlefields seemed to sense the movement in this space, their gazes looking towards this direction. When they saw the Desolation Crystal in front of Ji Xuan, their figures all revealed a shocked expression, and a tremendous surge rose in their hearts.
Four divine crystals have already appeared before, and now another divine crystal has appeared.
Is this a coincidence or the arrangement of destiny?
At this moment, the Tianxuan group's gaze is also focused on Ji Xuan's figure. Compared to the other warriors on the battlefield, their faces appear much calmer. After all, they have known for a long time that the crystal of desolation lies within Ji Xuan, so they naturally wouldn't be too surprised. Translated:
"Ji Xuan's own strength is already superior to that person. If she were to use the Crystal of Desolation, that person would have no chance to defend themselves." Feng Qing said. Everyone nodded in agreement. The outcome of that battle had already been determined, there would be no suspense.
In a battlefield, a prodigy from the divine realm spoke up, "The Crystals of Sealing, Frost, Reincarnation, Flame, and Desolation have all appeared. Only the Crystal of Devouring remains uncertain if it will appear." This statement immediately caught the attention of many, as the gathering of the six divine crystals would undoubtedly be a historic event, worthy of being recorded in the annals of the divine realm.
"It won't happen." A confident voice came out, and many people immediately looked at the speaker. He continued, "You guys forgot, the devouring crystal is in his hands, he didn't participate in this battle."
Hearing those words, everyone's expressions couldn't help but freeze, immediately understanding who the person being referred to was. In their hearts, a sense of regret couldn't help but arise.
Back then, he was hailed as the most exceptional talent in the divine realm, unparalleled among his peers. However, in these years, it seemed as if he had evaporated from the mortal world, without any news or even participating in such an important battle. It's truly a pity.
If he were present, the chances of the divine realm's victory would definitely be greater.
............
Outside of Shenshan, both Xiaonan Li and the four domain gods have a solemn expression. Six divine crystals have appeared consecutively, five of which have reached their level. Naturally, they would not believe that this is a coincidence. There won't be such a fortunate thing in the world. Translation:
Dongchuan Domain Lord looked at the Heavenly Creator and saw that his expression remained as calm as ever. He opened his mouth and asked, "Did you know about this a long time ago?"
"I have said before, this is the most outstanding generation in the divine realm," the Heavenly Creator responded indifferently.
In the eyes of the four domain masters, a glint of sharpness flashed through their gaze. Previously, they thought that the statement from the Creation Supreme Being was merely an empty boast. However, now it seems that there may indeed be some possibility.
In the past millions of years, not a single god crystal appeared. But now, all six major god crystals have emerged, indicating that there have indeed been some changes in the divine realm. The fortune and luck are stronger than before.
不过即便如此，没有至高人物坐镇，神界依旧没有资格成为地藏天的对手，再强大的气运也无济于事。
“前辈可知吞噬之晶如今在何处？”此时，萧南离看着造化天尊开口问道，仿佛随口一问，深邃的目光中没有丝毫波动，让人看不出他心中所想。
Zaohua Tianzun looked at Xiao Nanli with understanding in his eyes. He knew that Xiao Nanli's true question was not about the Devouring Crystal, but about its owner.
"You will soon be able to meet them," Zaohua Tianzun replied.
Xiao Nanli's eyes slightly narrowed, then a gentle smile appeared on his face as he said, "Then I shall await with anticipation."
The Creator Supreme did not respond further, his gaze returning to the depths of the divine mountain.
At this moment, Ji Xuan and Du Guqiong are immersed in a space filled with boundless desolation, resembling a desolate realm. Whirlwinds of gray storms roar towards Du Guqiong's body. Du Guqiong looks up to the sky and lets out a long howl. The divine power emanating from his body reaches its peak, transforming into black rivers that flow around him, producing a rushing sound.

Boom, boom...
The gray storm and the black river rush fiercely like ferocious beasts, shaking the space tumultuously. The gray storm advances constantly from within the black river, causing the black river to gradually become illusory. Obviously, the power within it is rapidly dissipating.
A series of gray storms passed through the dark river, enveloping Du Guqiong's body. A desolate feeling invaded his body, and in that instant, Du Guqiong's black hair rapidly turned white, his skin became dry and yellow, as if he had aged many years, transitioning from a young man to an elderly person.
意识到自己的生机正在飞速流逝，独孤穹眼眸中终于露出惊惧之色，若是再不离开，他真会命丧于此。
没有片刻的犹豫，他猛地用力捏碎神符，一道璀璨夺目的光芒从中释放而出，下一刻，光芒与独孤穹都消失不见。
"We won!" Seeing the battle over there, Tian Xuan and the others all showed joyful smiles. Du Gu Qiong had been defeated, and the dust had finally settled on that battlefield.
This is the second victory in the divine realm, and it is quite impressive.
At this moment, Duguqiong appeared outside the God Mountain, his face devoid of any blood color, and his aura incredibly weak, indicating severe injuries.
"Domain Master." Xiao Nanli glanced at the Domain Master of Dongchuan and immediately understood. He extended his hand and pointed it at Duguqiong, a dazzling beam of light pierced through the heavens and earth, directly entering Duguqiong's body, causing him to let out a muffled groan and his body trembled violently.
After a moment, Dugu Qiong's complexion regained its rosy color, and his breath also became much steadier. He looked up at the East Chuan Domain Lord in the sky, and bowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much for your help."
“你该谢的人是少主。”东川域主淡淡的道。
独孤穹神色一凝，随即目光移向萧南离，躬身拜道：“多谢少主。”
“好好休息吧。”萧南离开口道，语气没有丝毫责怪之意。
Although Dugu Qiong lost this battle, he gave it his all. His opponent has extraordinary talent and is also empowered by divine crystals, so his defeat is to be expected. There is nothing more to say.
