The fusion of the third palace and the Poison Restriction Pill was slowly proceeding.
Xu Qing's body was rotting but he still sat there and resisted with all his might.
Other than the purple crystal, life lanterns, and Ghost Emperor Mountain, Xu Qing also released all the little black bugs in the past three days.
Under his control, these little black bugs entered his body and absorbed the poison from the poison pill in his flesh and blood.
These methods were the first wave of help Xu Qing had prepared for the fusion of the Poison Restriction Pill.
However, the toxicity of the Poison Restriction Pill was too intense and Xu Qing's first wave of preparation wasn't very effective. His body was rotting at a visible speed.
He could only rely on these to make sure the fusion was faster than the footsteps of death.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, another four days passed. His Third Heavenly Palace's fusion and transformation of the Poison Restriction Pill had finally reached 70%.
However, in these four days, Xu Qing had to endure intense torture and pain. He already didn't have much strength left and could only silently endure it.
The place he was sitting on was covered in black blood.
That was formed from the rotting of his flesh and blood.
His body had caved in and the flesh and skin on his body were about to rot completely. There wasn't much flesh on his hands that were exposed and the black bones were a shocking sight.
The poison from the Poison Restriction Pill was destroying everything in his body. Even his sea of consciousness was riddled with holes and his soul was incomparably dim.
In reality, it was already a miracle that he could persist until now. This was a result of his deep accumulation.
As for merging the Poison Restriction Pill, even the almighty person who left this pill behind had not succeeded.
After all, if he really succeeded, this unfinished pill wouldn't have been left behind as regret.
As for that almighty, he was definitely extraordinary. Even under his protection, there were no successful cases. One could imagine how difficult it was.
Hence, everything was feasible in theory.
Even though Xu Qing had two life lanterns protecting him, even though he had the Ghost Emperor Mountain suppressing the poison, even though he had resistance and the little black bugs were helping him, he was still at the end of his rope.
Although the purple crystal was still circulating to the limits and emitting vitality to delay Xu Qing's death, there was still a limit.
The shadow no longer revealed any emotions. The Diamond Sect's ancestor was also very careful.
They could sense the aura of death emitted by Xu Qing and felt complicated in their hearts.
However, no matter what, the intimidation and ruthlessness from Xu Qing in the past caused them to not think of rebelling. Even if the thought appeared, they wouldn't dare to act.
After another half a day, Xu Qing's legs were only left with black bones and his hair was gone.
His demonic face was now all bones. The rotting flesh on them turned into black blood that dripped viscously to the ground.
His eyelids also disappeared, revealing eyes with a listless gaze. His life was rapidly dissipating.
The purple crystal was already helpless at this moment. Just as Xu Qing was about to fail, a hint of spirit suddenly appeared in Xu Qing's eyes.
This luster caused the minds of the Diamond Sect's ancestor and the shadow to shake.
Xu Qing silently lowered his head. This action emitted cracking sounds, as though if he exerted a little force, his head would fall off his neck.
After lowering his head, Xu Qing tried his best to lift his right hand that only had a trace of flesh and blood left. He then picked up a small bottle that he had placed in front of him in advance.
After crushing it, the Dao Blood of Nihility flew out and headed straight for his body.
This was the second wave of help Xu Qing had prepared.
In an instant, this blood fused into Xu Qing's body.
The vitality from the Dao Blood instantly gushed into Xu Qing's entire body. While nourishing his body, it also caused the Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness to shine brightly.
However, compared to the vitality in this drop of blood, the Dao charm contained in it was its crucial point.
Hence, although there was some help in terms of vitality, it was limited.
However, it was of great help to Xu Qing's Ghost Emperor Mountain.
At this moment, the Ghost Emperor Mountain became more and more realistic as it absorbed the Dao charm.
It emitted a dense charm and its face was increasingly similar to Xu Qing's. It gave off the feeling that it had taken a huge step toward complete visualization.
This change was more like a qualitative change. Without that blood, it was almost impossible to achieve such a qualitative change.
The Dao Blood seemed to have given a soul seed or a spirit root!
If it was in the past, Xu Qing would definitely have observed more. However, he didn't have the heart and energy now. Relying on the vitality in this blood, he survived another day.
The black color of the Third Heavenly Palace in his body increased from 70% to 80%.
After 80%, the rotting of Xu Qing's body intensified again. He shakily took out a piece of wood, placing it in front of him.
This was the third wave of help he had prepared.
At the next instant, the black wooden piece shone and transformed into a black door. As it slowly opened, it emitted a white light that sealed the life level.
The appearance of this light instantly transformed into sealing power, wanting to freeze Xu Qing's life state.
However, this light that had sealed his life form during the transformation in the Sea Corpse Race… was actually unable to completely take effect at this moment. It couldn't completely seal his life level and could only delay his death.
The level of poison of the Poison Restriction Pill was too high. It seemed that only vitality could reach a balance against it. Other than that, it was impossible for all the effects of external forces to be perfectly displayed.
Even so, it still had some effect.
Under this delay, the purple crystal in Xu Qing's body and all the other help that were resisting the poison seemed to have a breathing space, allowing him to last longer.
