Chapter 1086 The Arrival of Crimson G.o.ddess, the Revival of the Ruler!
In the w.a.n.ggu Continent, there was a hidden void, not the nine abysses, but equally pitch black.
No one knew its exact location, and even the Heavenly Dao couldn"t find it.
This was because that was the place where the Ancient Spirit Emperor, who had unified w.a.n.ggu back then, had hidden with his clansmen after being cursed by all the Immemorial Heavenly Dao of w.a.n.ggu.
Its name was Spirit Abyss.
It was opened on the head of a rotting snake and was carried by the terrifying snake as it swam in the void.
The world inside was filled with death and countless bones were buried in it.
Souls and rotting corpses could be seen everywhere.
The sky was dark and the ground was pitch-black.
Sound seemed to have no meaning here, as if the entire world consisted only of visuals.
In the scene, there were palaces, each containing a mountain made of b.l.o.o.d.y flesh.
A huge eye floated in the sky above each mountain peak.
It was closed, as though nothing in this world could break His peace.
Only golden dragons lingered in the surroundings, forming one rune after another, as if weaving dreams for Him.
If there was no disturbance, perhaps He would continue to sleep like this.
At this moment, as a vortex suddenly appeared, a huge eye floating in the sky above a mountain of flesh suddenly trembled.
As though He had sensed an existence that made Him feel helpless and disgusted, the eye suddenly opened.
A powerful divine sense that seemed to be able to drown the world, and caused the entire Ancient Spirit World to tremble erupted from this huge eye. It swept through endless soil and finally landed on the vortex that appeared.
Xu Qing"s figure slowly formed in the vortex. After he walked out, he looked at this familiar world and then at the eye that was glaring at him. His expression was calm as he cupped his fists and bowed.
"Your Majesty, long time no see."
"Not long, just the time for a short nap!"
A cold snort emanated from within the eyeball, bloodshot veins permeating its eyes. While staring at Xu Qing, the sound of flowing water surrounded the area, and the waters of the Yellow Springs approached from all directions, ceaselessly flowing.
It was the saliva of the Ancient Spirit Emperor.
"I told you before that the next time you come, the interest you have to pay is a remnant G.o.d!"
"If not, I"ll eat you!"
The G.o.d"s finger in Xu Qing"s body shuddered and continued to pretend to be asleep…
Xu Qing didn"t care about the cowardice of the finger. He looked at the eyeball and a friendly expression appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, of course I remember it, and I came to tell you about it."
"There"s a feast. I wonder if Your Majesty is interested?"
Xu Qing respectfully spoke.
The eye narrowed.
"What feast?"
"Slumbering Crimson G.o.ddess!"
As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, the entire Ancient Spirit World rumbled. All the palaces shook and the eyes above the mountains of flesh all opened and looked at Xu Qing in unison.
"What are you talking about!!"
Facing such divine might, if it was back then, Xu Qing wouldn"t be able to withstand it. However, his cultivation was now worlds apart from before. Although he still felt discomfort, he wasn"t as fragile as before.
Hence, he maintained his calm and spoke softly.
"I teleported here from the Moon Worship Region. There, we have the awakened ruler, Li Zihua, two high G.o.ds of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, and several Soul Acc.u.mulation almighty beings…"
"Before I came here, I suggested sharing this feast with you, Your Majesty. Hence, they asked me to come here and ask… if you are going to join in this feast."
"As for whether what I said is true or false, with Your Majesty"s might, you can inspect the aura on my body."
As Xu Qing"s voice echoed, all the eyes here blinked rapidly. The ground rumbled even more, as though a heartbeat was beating fast.
Xu Qing"s words were too shocking even for the Ancient Spirit Emperor.
He clearly didn"t expect that the interest Xu Qing had prepared this time would actually be so great. What He originally wanted was only a part of a G.o.d.
However, Xu Qing was offering Crimson G.o.ddess.
He knew about Crimson G.o.ddess and had also detected the aura of high G.o.ds of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race on Xu Qing. He was indeed telling the truth.
However, He remained silent.
Xu Qing wasn"t in a hurry and waited silently.
Time flowed by and a day pa.s.sed.
"Your Majesty, if you don"t want the interest this time, then I"ll take my leave first. It"s almost time to eat."
Xu Qing calmly spoke and slowly retreated, wanting to step into the vortex again.
However, at that moment, the vortex paused and actually solidified.
Xu Qing didn"t panic at all. He calmly looked at the Ancient Spirit Emperor"s eye.
"I"m a chef. If I don"t go back, they"ll find me."
The eye stared at Xu Qing as though It was weighing the pros and cons. After a long time, the vortex behind Xu Qing resumed spinning.
The moment Xu Qing"s figure was about to disappear, a drop of black blood flew out of the Ancient Spirit Emperor"s eye and headed straight for Xu Qing. After it landed on his body, it transformed into a black cloak.
There was an eye on this cloak that looked extremely sinister.
The voice of the Ancient Spirit Emperor echoed in Xu Qing"s mind.
"If everything is true, I will attend the feast."
When Xu Qing heard this, he nodded.
"Your Majesty, after this banquet ends, I want an Ancient Spirit luck dragon."
"Alright!"
The world reversed and rumbling sounds rang out in all directions. Xu Qing disappeared from the vortex and returned to the Moon Worship Region, in front of the statue of the ruler, Li Zihua.
As soon as he appeared, the captain immediately looked over. The heir and the others also opened their eyes and stared at Xu Qing, especially at his black cloak.
The eye of the Ancient Spirit Emperor on the cloak also rapidly narrowed.
The first thing he saw was the statue of the ruler, Li Zihua. He deeply sensed the terrifying power contained in this statue and the awakening aura on it.
After that, He looked at the sky and saw the incomparably huge Red Moon Star that was about to arrive. Waves rose in His mind.
Finally, he looked at the heir and the others. His gaze swept past them one by one and when He saw Old Ninth, His eyes narrowed.
"Senior, this is my esteemed guest."
Xu Qing looked at the heir and respectfully spoke.
The heir didn"t say anything and nodded. Clearly, on the day Xu Qing left, the captain seemed to have told them something. Only Old Ninth looked at Xu Qing"s black cloak and a hint of coldness spread out from his body.
"We owe this kid a debt of grat.i.tude."
The eye of the Ancient Spirit Emperor narrowed. He could sense a peerless baleful aura from the person in front of him.
The intensity of this baleful aura was enough to rank among the top three that He had encountered in His entire life.
"Such a heaven"s chosen… He has a sword that can intimidate G.o.ds!"
The Ancient Spirit Emperor muttered inwardly. He naturally understood what the other party meant. This was a threat and a warning.
If it was at His peak, He would naturally ignore such threats. However, it was different now. Moreover, everything He saw after coming here wasn"t much different from what Xu Qing had said.
As for the high G.o.ds, He sensed a dense aura from the person at the side.
"That shifty-eyed person carries the gateway to a G.o.d"s land on his person."
All of this caused the mind of the Ancient Spirit Emperor to fluctuate as He transmitted His divine sense.
"He"s my believer, so I naturally won"t harm him."
When Old Ninth heard this, he retracted his gaze but his baleful aura still remained.
The Ancient Spirit Emperor narrowed His eyes and glanced at the reviving ruler.
From the start to the end, Xu Qing"s expression was calm. Since he dared to invite the Ancient Spirit Emperor over, he naturally had something to rely on. He was also certain that the Ancient Spirit Emperor wouldn"t be able to cause a ma.s.sive commotion in this situation.
Time slowly pa.s.sed.
The calls of all living beings in the Moon Worship Region continued. As the Red Moon Star gradually arrived, the calls became even more intense.
The Red Moon Star already occupied most of the sky.
In fact, because the distance was too close, the craters on It could be seen with the naked eye.
Its shadow blanketed the land, causing the ground to churn, rivers to erupt, and mountains to collapse wherever it pa.s.sed. The aura emitted by the Red Moon Star swept like a storm, shrouding everything in the will of the G.o.d.
The anomalous substances intensified and the world distorted.
It was moving toward the ruler"s statue.
The surrounding blood lake was filled up again. Everything in sight was red, as though this realm was drowned by a sea of blood at this moment.
All living beings trembled and despair rose uncontrollably, transforming into an even more intense call.
The awakening aura on the ruler"s body also erupted at this moment, causing the world to distort and the void to rumble. It was as though countless heavenly lightning was exploding.
However, no matter how this sound spread, it couldn"t stop the arrival of the Red Moon Star.
The Red Moon was getting closer and closer.
On the ground, its shadow carried anomalous substances and covered almost everything.
The expressions of the heir and the others were solemn, and their eyes were filled with hatred. The captain"s expression also became tense.
All the preparations and many years of hard work would depend on this!
The Ancient Spirit Emperor"s eye on Xu Qing"s cloak instantly narrowed.
Xu Qing also couldn"t help but feel uneasy. The Red Moon"s authority in his body became unprecedentedly active, being pulled by the Red Moon.
The different feelings in everyone"s hearts instantly reached their peak.
At the next instant, the realm darkened. The colossal Red Moon Star carried the endless power of the tides, terrifying divine might, and a terrifying aura as It emerged in the heavens above the ruler"s statue!
Right in the middle!
Crimson G.o.ddess had arrived!
An extremely dense G.o.d"s aura descended from the heavens like ink.
In the blink of an eye, the heir and the others spat out a mouthful of blood. Their bodies began to wither and decay, emitting black gas as curses erupted.
The captain also couldn"t withstand the aura, but he immediately spread out the Suns of Dawn ring and barely persisted.
As for Xu Qing, the cloak formed by the Ancient Spirit Emperor on his body pa.s.sively resisted the eruption of this aura for him.
However, if this continued, it would be difficult for them to last for too long.
The Moon Worship Region churned and this realm began to collapse. All living beings wailed as doomsday descended.
If all of this were to form a picture, the scene in the Moon Worship Region would look incredibly desolate. The kneeling posture of the ruler"s statue, just like the name of this Repentance Plain, suggested punishment. He was being penalized, and was forced to repent in this place.
It was like this in every era of the sacrificial ceremony.
However, this time was different!
The instant everyone struggled to withstand the aura, white flames burned from the body of the ruler"s statue!
This was the burning of its revival. It was stimulated by the spreading of the Red Moon"s divine might and Crimson G.o.ddess" aura.
The flames grew increasingly intense and instantly reached the extreme, erupting into the sky. Its hands, which had never been lifted since its death, slowly lifted amidst the flames and deafening rumbling!
The large hands blotted out the heavens and slammed into… the Red Moon Star above its head!
Boom!
Ruler Li Zihua had revived!
