Chapter 1043: Red Candle on the Back
Chapter 1043: Red Candle on the Back
Although Xu Qing's understanding of Divine Rights was limited, he had seen a lot of Divine Rights, whether it was his own or other Divine Spirits. He had also done some research on it.
He knew that Divine Rights were different from Origin. They were much more ancient and were unique to the Divine Spirits.
They could affect all things and affect all living beings. They could cover the entire universe and even the thirty-six star rings.
This was because this was the universe of the Divine Spirits.
At the same time, Divine Rights were divided into two levels: having the right to use them and enjoying them alone. The former was shared with other Divine Spirits in a certain Divine Right. It was like competing with each other!
Only by devouring and plundering other Divine Spirits with the same Divine Right could one reach the second level!
To become the only Divine Right in a certain Divine Right!
According to Xu Qing's previous understanding, those who could reach this point were at least True Gods!
As for Divine Rights, according to Xu Qing's previous understanding, they were not divided by strength. They were divided by the degree of control and the range!
The range was the key to Divine Rights!
But in that instant, this understanding had shaken Xu Qing's mind!
The reason for that was because at that instant, the special Divine Right formed by the three strands of Divine Right emitted an extremely terrifying aura that surpassed everything else. It was absolutely terrifying!
It was enough for him to easily sense the difference between the strong and the weak!
Xu Qing did not know what this Divine Right was. He could only make a simple judgment based on luck, misfortune, and the characteristics of the purple moon!
But obviously, this was not the time to explore. As the candle flame erupted, his physical body sank onto the candle wick and was about to extinguish it.
The instant the red candle was extinguished …
In Xu Qing's sea of consciousness, the counterattack from the red candle flame was almost monstrous. The flame showed madness and burned fiercely!
This flame had no choice but to burn the three Divine Rights. Because Xu Qing had used the foreign Divine Rights formed by the three Divine Rights to surround his soul!
To resist the candle flame!
Even so, the residual heat still burned Xu Qing's soul!
The number of Divine Spirits decreased. Finally, there were less than ten thousand Divine Spirits left!
In the outside world, he had lost all his clothes. His crimson body was completely sitting on the candle wick!
Boom.
As it fell, an earth-shattering sound reverberated throughout the entire World Essence Secret Realm!
The candle flame was extinguished.
At this moment, the fire in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness vanished in an instant. The foreign Divine Authority formed by the three threads of Divine Authority on the heavily damaged Ruined Lands also underwent a great change!
He had originally been unable to fuse with each other, but in the burning of the previous flames, he had actually fused 10%!
A vast aura of Divine Right rose from within, sweeping through Xu Qing's entire Sea of Consciousness!
As for the outside world, the moment the candlelight was extinguished, a great change occurred!
As the light faded away, all of the stars disappeared. Whether it was the collapsing stars that were visible to the naked eye, or the paintings formed by the Shadow Eye, all of them seemed to have been erased at this moment!
The shadows also disappeared along with the candlelight, vanishing into thin air!
It was as if all of this had become a thing of the past because the candle flame was no longer there!
The entire world fell into darkness!
It was as if even the World Essence Secret Realm itself had vanished at this moment!
After a long time, Xu Qing, who was meditating cross-legged, slowly opened his tired and bloodshot eyes!
The weakness of his soul caused him to feel dizzy!
As far as his eyes could see, there was only darkness. He could not see far away, nor could he see near. In this lightless world, even when he looked at it with his Divine Eyes, there was only emptiness!
Even the candle beneath him had disappeared without a trace!
Only the feeling of surviving a calamity rose in Xu Qing's heart!
"The candle flame is extinguished, and the shadow is gone!"
Xu Qing murmured. He raised his hand and touched his sleeve. When he touched the mask, his heart relaxed slightly!
This item was still there!
Xu Qing did not want to stay here for too long. He was not sure if the candle flame would reappear soon, and if everything in this secret realm would be restored in the next moment!
Therefore, he quickly took out the secret realm token and was about to activate the return!
However, at this moment, Xu Qing's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around abruptly!
Head!
Behind him, there was nothing but emptiness. There was nothing but darkness!
However, Xu Qing's heart was extremely vigilant. At that moment, he faintly felt that the candle that had disappeared seemed to reappear!
"That's not right."
Xu Qing quickly raised his right hand and pressed it against his naked back. With this touch, a different feeling came from his fingertips, and it caused Xu Qing's heart to tremble!
The red candle had indeed not truly disappeared.
For some unknown reason, it had been imprinted on Xu Qing's back. In Xu Qing's perception, it was like a tattoo that covered his back!
Fortunately, under his probing, he discovered that the candle that had appeared on his back was in an extinguished state!
Xu Qing frowned, and many guesses arose in his heart. At the same time, he pinched the token!
But!
The token still did not have any reaction!
One had to know that the token had reacted before, but it had been interrupted by the red candle flame!
But now, it was as if it had lost its connection with the World Essence Secret Realm, and had become completely useless!
"World Essence Secret Realm!"
Xu Qing's heart sank. He pinched it again and continued to try!
At the same time, outside the World Essence Secret Realm, at the moment when the candle flame was extinguished, a shocking change was occurring!
The first thing that changed was the huge jade slip where the World Essence Secret Realm was located. This jade slip was originally shining brightly, but now, it dimmed in an instant!
As it dimmed, the ground where it was located also seemed to have lost its nourishment and became dry and cracked!
Looking around, cracks spread across the basin, and even some of the nearby mountains collapsed inexplicably, with rubble rolling down!
It was as if the spiritual energy had been sucked dry!
As a result, the seal where the jade slip was located was also broken, causing the cultivators outside to be able to see it even if they didn't have the token of the secret realm.
They could see through it clearly and see where the jade slip was!
Therefore, the Demon Feather cultivators who were cultivating with the help of the spiritual energy nearby were all shocked. They opened their eyes and looked over, and their hearts were filled with surprise and horror!
"The spiritual energy here has disappeared."
"The seal of the World Essence Secret Realm is also dissipating."
"What happened?"
While everyone's hearts were in turmoil, Lu Lingzi, who was sitting cross-legged in the main hall of the Tenth Sovereign Mountain, suddenly opened his eyes and frowned!
Silently, his divine consciousness had already spread out, directly shrouding the place where the World Essence Secret Realm was located, and suppressed it!
Instantly, the world around the World Essence Secret Realm was solidified, and everything was sealed!
Then, his divine consciousness quickly entered the jade slip. The moment it entered, even the powerful Empress felt a breeze in her heart!
She had naturally been to the World Essence Secret Realm before, and she also knew about the clues inside!
But now, when she checked with her divine consciousness, this place was pitch black …
The red candle had disappeared, the stars had disappeared, and everything had turned into nothingness!
Only Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the other side where the red candle was originally, was holding the token she gave him and trying various methods to activate it!
This scene made the Empress fall silent!
After a while, her voice echoed in the void!
"What are you doing?"
Xu Qing paused, and joy rose in his heart. He looked up at the void in the distance!
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"There was a change in this place, and I originally planned to leave with this jade slip, but this jade slip has lost its effect!"
Xu Qing stood up and cupped his fists. He knew that since the Empress had come, it meant that he had escaped!
However, the Empress didn't respond after hearing Xu Qing's words. When Xu Qing's thoughts rose in his heart, he vaguely heard a sigh!
Then, the Empress spoke.
"You really didn't listen to my words at all!"
"Come and see me as soon as you get out."
As soon as these words were spoken, a vast amount of energy surged out from the void and gathered on Xu Qing's body. A loud rumbling sound echoed out as a gigantic vortex was formed!
With a suction, Xu Qing was sucked into it, and the vortex also followed suit.
Disappear together!
After sending Xu Qing away, the vague figure of the Empress appeared in the void!
What appeared here was only the manifestation of Chi's Divine Will. After looking around, he finally shook his head!
"I thought it was just his First Senior Brother who was a troublemaker. I didn't expect Xu Qing to be the same!"
The Empress took a step forward, vanishing into thin air. When she reappeared, she was on top of the jade slip in the outside world. She waved her hand, and the jade slip began to glow again!
The surrounding seals were formed once again!
Everything looked the same as before!
However, if someone were to enter the jade slip, they would discover that … the World Origin Secret Realm had indeed disappeared!
Of course, there was no way the empress would allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, it didn't take long for a Dharmic decree to be issued from the Tenth Mountain Lord!
The World Origin Secret Realm was lacking in Spiritual Qi. It would be repaired for a hundred years, and it would not be opened to the public during this period!
The World Origin Secret Realm belonged to the Tenth Mountain Lord. Therefore, Lu Lingzi's Dharmic decree was effective!
Even though the World Origin Secret Realm was considered a strategic resource during wartime, due to Lu Lingzi's recent ascension, no one would really take this matter seriously!
As a Mountain Lord, she naturally had such privileges!
Of course, the Empress still had to deal with some details in order to completely conceal the matter of the World Origin Secret Realm!
At this moment, Xu Qing appeared on a plain a hundred miles away from the World Origin Secret Realm, feeling somewhat uneasy!
The moment he appeared, he immediately transformed into Xue Chenzi. Then, he turned around and looked at the World Origin Secret Realm that was being sealed again. He hesitated!
He couldn't tell what he had gained from this trip. It seemed like he had obtained the mask, but the strange candle was imprinted on his back!
At the same time, Xu Qing felt apologetic for causing trouble for the Empress. This was his personality. He clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges, and he didn't want to owe anyone anything!
After a while, he took a deep breath!
"Then, I will go and help the Empress. I will do my best to fulfill her wish!"
Xu Qing's body flashed, and he headed straight for the Tenth Mountain Lord!
Along the way, he focused on the unfamiliar Divine Right in his body!
Luck, as its name implied.
Misfortune, as well.
As for the Purple Moon Divine Right, it belonged to the purple moonlight that illuminated all things and searched for the flaws in life. Once it found the flaws, it could be invaded by poison!
"Controlling luck, and controlling the flaws in life!"
"They fused together to form the Divine Right!"
Xu Qing, who was speeding through the world, suddenly stopped. In midair, his breathing became slightly rapid, and his eyes revealed a strange light. A word appeared in his mind!
"Could it be fate?"
