The sun had already set.
At least for today, it had left.
As it disappeared, the red glow in the sky also disappeared. However, the blood glow on Xu Qing’s body stirred up a different color of red in the dark night.
Blood light illuminated the sky.
That was the encirclement of the blood vortex, the light of the soul threads on Xu Qing’s body, and the killing intent in his heart.
Standing there, he was like a demon G.o.d that represented blood and killing, waiting for the sacrifices to arrive.
After a short period of silence, the sacrifices didn’t disappoint the killing intent and arrived as promised.
The first to appear was a middle-aged cultivator. This person wasn’t from the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven’s main race but… the Baize Race!
He walked over step by step from the holy city. With every step he took, ripples would form under his feet, turning into a black lotus flower that shone with a dark light.
A fourth stage Nihility cultivation energy rose from his body. From the energy, he was stronger than Prince Mingnan.
At the same time, a baleful aura spread out from his body.
This baleful aura didn’t seem to be acc.u.mulated from pure killing. It was more like it was acc.u.mulated after experiencing many battles.
It was somewhat similar to those hundred-battle veterans in Fenghai County.
The third eye on his forehead was half-opened, revealing a cold and confident gaze.
He wasn’t a heaven’s chosen.
Instead, he was summoned by the race and returned from the Black Spirit Battlefield specifically for Xu Qing!
With the efforts of the Baize Race, he obtained the temporary qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the Grand Hunt.
The Baize Race was one of those who had been behind this recent situation in the holy city.
However, evidently, a mere Baize Race attempting to stir up such turmoil was overreaching. Yet, the answer soon emerged as the figure of this Baize cultivator approached; another figure emerged from within the holy city at the same moment.
The figure was tall and slender, with six arms distinguishing it from the human race. There were natural scars on his forehead, and he had red skin, with eerie tattoos across his entire body, setting him apart.
He was a member of the Sie Race who was fighting against the human race at the border!
As one of the three major subsidiary races of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven, this race had a deep foundation and had a close relationship with the Flame Moon Race. They even held positions under the three Great Magistrates’ tents.
The main ritual hosts.
They were the masterminds behind the incident in the holy city.
Xu Qing’s gaze swept over and landed on these two cultivators. He wasn’t surprised. In reality, in Xu Qing’s judgment, Baize and Si e were only on the surface.
Behind them were the families of the cultivators he had killed. Even King Mingnan was definitely among them.
This was also the reason why Xu Qing didn’t accept the challenges before.
Eldest Senior Brother said that to the higher-ups of Flame Moon Mystic Heaven, this Grand Hunt is like Gu nurturing. They use such a cruel method to choose the strongest of the junior generation.’
My role is to agitate these heaven’s chosen.1
“So, they allow all of this to happen, but if someone disrupts this requirement, it means interfering with the plans of the Flame Moon’s higher-ups.”
‘So… if 1 were a higher-up of the Flame Moon, such a useful source of stimulation naturally cannot disappear after just the first segment. It’s best if it can continue, burning out rhe best effects in the final segment.”
Xu Qing’s gaze was calm and so was his heart. He looked at the two cultivators who were walking over.
The Si e Race cultivator stopped ten feet outside the city. He raised his right hand and began to perform a series of hand seals.
As for rhe baleful middle-aged man from the Baize Race, his killing intent churned. Step by step, he sped up and headed straight for Xu Qing.
Almost at the instant he rushed over, the third G.o.d form outside Xu Qing’s body dispersed. Millions of soul threads surrounded him and danced with the blood vortex.
At the next instant, they quickly returned and reformed outside Xu Qing’s body.
In the blink of an eye, purple feathers appeared one after another, rapidly converging until they formed a body distinct from the third G.o.d form!
Standing a thousand feet tall. Its entire body was covered in purple flesh feathers, with two ma.s.sive wings on Its back. Murmurs emanated from Its body, echoing in all directions.
That was the sound of the G.o.d.
There was also a feeling that It couldn’t be looked at directly. In the holy city cultivators’ perception, Its appearance changed to a form that could be endured by their minds.
At the same time, a purple moon slowly rose behind Xu Qing’s new G.o.d form. Countless figures were worshiping on it and their voices spread out.
“The new moon’s master was born in w.a.n.ggu, all beings respectfully call him Lord Purple.”
“Sacrificing our souls for our lord, on the other side, there is grace, the melody of eternal joy, and another life awaits.”
As rhe prayer was chanted, the purple moon shone brightly. The Poison Restriction spread with its light.
At that moment, rhe moon in the sky also dimmed and was replaced by Xu Qing’s moon. The world… was filled with purple.
In front of It was a huge sundial. The gnomon was spinning, forming the power of time, distorting rhe void and blurring everything.
Under It, a huge lotus platform appeared. Every lotus leaf represented one of Xu Qing’s abilities. The Golden Crow, Ghost Emperor Mountain, morning glow, and so on were all inside.
The purple tentacles they formed spread our. From afar, Xu Qing’s form looked like a purple amaryllis.
This was Xu Qing’s fourth G.o.d form!
Its name was Lord Purple!
Establishing this form meant it would be difficult for him to befriend Li Zihua in the future because of the integration of the divine source, similar ro how he had to confront rhe issue of anomalous substances when cultivating for the first time.
Rather than thinking about life and death in the future, it was better to think about how to live better today..
