Chapter 1066: Graveyard in the Rain
Chapter 1066: Graveyard in the Rain
In the unknown world of the Dark Flame Emperor's memory fragments, there was a huge ravine on a pitch-black plain.
It was like an abyss.
In the depths, an old man in a black robe was moving forward.
His appearance was no longer that of Dark Flame, but that of the vicissitudes of life.
It was the black-robed man who had appeared in the Demon Feather Emperor's platform.
The iron chains on his body rattled as he moved forward, and there was an intense burning sensation. However, this did not bring him any pain. Instead, it filled him with excitement.
"I'm almost there ā¦"
The black-robed old man's breathing became rapid, and he sped up. Finally, after half an hour, his body came to a stop.
The end of the abyss was in front of him.
There was a well here.
Standing next to the well, the elder looked quite excited as he lowered his head and looked down.
There was water in the well, and the surface of the water reflected a blurry world.
That world was dark and filled with death.
It was raining ā¦
"It's here!"
The old man took a deep breath, and with determination in his eyes, he went straight into the well.
ā¦
At the same time, in a world of memory fragments filled with birds and fragrant flowers, this place was like a paradise, with white clouds and red-crowned cranes flying.
Immortal mountains stood tall on the ground, and among the clouds, there were countless immortal palaces.
Outside the gate of the seventeenth palace, the young master of the Yun family stood there, turned his head to look at the world, and muttered in a hoarse voice.
"It's going to rain."
With that, he pushed open the gate of the immortal palace in front of him.
The moment the gate opened, wind blew in the sky of this world.
Vaguely, there seemed to be moisture permeating the world.
And inside the immortal palace, it was dark and raining.
The young master of the Yun family walked in with a respectful expression, as if he was on a pilgrimage.
At the same time, in the place where the Dark Flame Emperor was cultivating in seclusion, the people from the Western Dark Feather and Lin Kun from the Eastern Demon Feather used their own methods to leave the original memory fragments.
They also used different methods to explore the other memory fragment worlds.
In this exploration, the same weather changes occurred in the different memory fragment worlds they were in.
Clouds churned, and rain fell.
ā¦
"It's raining?"
A drop of rain fell in front of Xu Qing and landed on the Saintly Deity Vine's leaf.
The cracks and gaps in the dark gray sky were slowly mending. Only in other regions, clouds and mist were gathering, and drops of rain were falling.
It drenched Xu Qing's body and also drenched Er Niu's hair who was speaking proudly on the ground.
"Eldest Senior Brother, let's go."
Xu Qing calmly spoke. His next goal was to find the Empress.
After all, after experiencing all these things in this strange place, Xu Qing felt that following the empress was the safest choice.
But obviously, Er Niu didn't think so.
Deep down, he felt that he was in an extremely sorry state on this planet.
Especially after being stimulated by Xu Qing's gorgeous appearance, Er Niu's unyielding heart beat faster and harder than before.
"If I can't take anything away from this damned place, then I'll have suffered for nothing."
Although he was thinking this in his heart, on the surface, he maintained his arrogant attitude and spoke calmly.
"Little Ah Qing, we don't have to leave in a hurry. This planet has been conquered by your Eldest Senior Brother. Next, it's time to pick the fruit of opportunity.
"You're lucky to have come at the right time. As your Eldest Senior Brother, I won't be calculative with you. I'll let you witness my rise with your own eyes!"
Er Niu lifted his chin, shook his shoulders, and flung his empty sleeves.
He put on an arrogant look.
However, one leg and one hand, his messy hair, and the thousands of holes on his body made Er Niu look a little miserable at this moment.
Xu Qing sighed in his heart. He knew that his Eldest Senior Brother's competitive spirit had appeared again.
Thus, he leaped and flew down from the Divine Vine. He stood in front of Er Niu and cooperatively asked a question.
"What opportunity?"
"Of course, it's the greatest opportunity that the Dark Flame Emperor obtained here!"
Er Niu's eyes were bright. He licked his lips and looked around. Looking at the barren planet filled with corpses and maggots, his voice was low.
"Little Ah Qing, you just came here, so you don't know my experience.
I've already understood this place and analyzed the cause and effect.
"Don't think that the environment here is bad. In fact, according to my judgment, the worse a place looks, the greater the opportunity it contains.
"After all, the Dark Flame Emperor's memory fragments can form a world. It's clear that he had a deep impression of this place back then ā¦
"During this period of time, I've also analyzed it. The Dark Flame Emperor that I transformed into was seriously injured and on the verge of death. How did he recover?
How did he recover and leave this place?
"He would have died without a doubt if he used an abnormal method, but he left.
"This is enough to show that there is a huge opportunity hidden in this place, and the Dark Flame Emperor has obtained this opportunity!"
"Because I transformed into Dark Flame here, only I can obtain this opportunity!
Er Niu's words were true. Xu Qing's eyes lit up after he understood the cause and effect.
Thus, he also looked around as he pondered.
Seeing that Xu Qing agreed with his judgment, Er Niu felt that his guess was right and coughed.
"So, my current sorry state and the fact that I was chased by those maggots were all intentional. I was trying to experience the despair of the Dark Flame Emperor back then."
Er Niu went around in a big circle and finally came to this sentence.
It had to be said that it was not easy for Er Niu. Moreover, his words seemed to make some sense.
Xu Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Er Niu.
"Eldest Senior Brother, have you found that opportunity?"
Er Niu blinked.
"I'm almost there. I've tried many times, but there are only two options that I haven't done.
"One is to eat the maggots here, and the other is to die once!
"Originally, it was very difficult for me to try the second option. That's because I've analyzed that if Dark Flame obtained the opportunity through death, then he must have some sort of unique treasure that could allow him to revive after death."
"But I don't have such a treasure ā¦
"But after you came, I felt that there was a way to achieve a similar effect ā¦"
Er Niu looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked at him and instantly understood.
"Eldest Senior Brother, are you talking about the Seven Emotions and Six Desires thread that we both have?"
Er Niu nodded.
"That's right. Our Authority of the Six Thieves is one, so the Threads of Seven Emotions and Six Desires can also be connected. You can think of it as a rope."
"This rope, by hooking my greed, can become the rope that pulls me out of death."
"Let's do it!"
Er Niu's eyes were filled with madness. The Six Desires and Six Desires threads were formed as the Six Desires Authority shone.
Seeing that Eldest Senior Brother was so decisive, Xu Qing also used the Six Desires Authority and released his own Seven Emotions and Six Desires threads to merge with Er Niu.
The moment these threads overlapped and connected, an extremely strong sense of greed and madness surged through Er Niu's threads.
Along with it was his desire to win.
"Are you sure?" Xu Qing asked.
"I'm sure. Don't worry. My will to live may not be that strong, but my greed is enough. As long as my greed is there, nothing else is a problem."
Er Niu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. At the same time, he gave Xu Qing a look.
Xu Qing could see Eldest Senior Brother's determination. At the same time, he sensed that the Thread of Seven Emotions and Six Desires could indeed pull out the last strand of greed. Most importantly, he noticed the look in Eldest Senior Brother's eyes, so he sat down cross-legged without showing any abnormality.
Er Niu quickly sat down as well. He raised his single hand and slapped the top of his head.
With a boom, the top of his head caved in, and he fell to the ground.
But he didn't die.
On the verge of death, Er Niu spoke weakly.
"Little Ah Qing, help me. I can't kill myself ā¦"
Xu Qing's expression was strange, so he raised his right hand and pointed at Er Niu's chest.
In the next moment, Er Niu's chest rumbled, and his vitality rapidly flowed away.
Xu Qing focused and paid close attention to the threads of seven emotions and six desires that were connected to Er Niu. He was ready to pull his vitality out of death at the critical moment.
Time slowly passed.
Er Niu's body, which had turned into Death Flame, had little life force left and was about to disappear completely.
Xu Qing's Authority suddenly shone brightly, and he pulled hard.
Er Niu's body trembled, and his greed erupted. His vitality was stimulated, and he could breathe again. His eyes suddenly opened, and they were filled with confusion. He quickly recovered, and he was incomparably excited.
"I can sense the power of death ā¦. My previous analysis was correct. The opportunity here can only be sensed by death!
"Little Ah Qing, come again. This time, save me a bit later."
As Er Niu spoke, he looked expectantly at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing had no choice but to lift his hand and slap him.
Er Niu fell to the ground and didn't move.
This time, the moment his life force dissipated, Xu Qing restrained his instinctive urge to pull him out. Instead, he focused on the threads of seven emotions and six desires. When even his greed dimmed, Xu Qing knew that he could not wait any longer.
Therefore, his Authority erupted, and he pulled hard. At the same time, the Carving Knife of Destiny shone brightly inside of him.
As he pulled, Er Niu's greed surged, and he wanted to recover.
However, it was at this moment that an aura of death spread out from the planet and surged toward Er Niu.
The Thread of Seven Emotions and Six Desires revealed the appearance of the gray mist, which seemed to want to drown Er Niu.
Xu Qing's eyes flickered. He knew that what his Eldest Brother had been waiting for had finally appeared.
Based on his understanding of Er Niu, he had long since understood the look in Er Niu's eyes.
Without hesitation, the Carving Knife of Destiny flew out and slashed viciously toward the gray mist!
At the same time, Er Niu's greed, which had dimmed just a moment ago, seemed to have faded away. In that instant, it exploded with power. His greed towered to the Heavens, and he seemed to transform into a heavenly dog that roared noiselessly toward the gray mist.
In the next instant, the colors of Heaven and Earth changed.
The Heavens rumbled, and the Earth quaked.
All of the corpses on the barren planet opened their eyes at the same time.
Countless maggots let out miserable shrieks as they trembled and collapsed.
As for Er Niu, Xu Qing could clearly see that the gray mist within him was rapidly returning to the planet. However, in the end, a strand of it was swallowed up by Er Niu's greed.
At the same time, he looked inwardly at the returning Carving Knife of Destiny. Shockingly, there was also a strand of gray mist on it. It had been swept back by the Carving Knife after it had slashed down, and was currently being absorbed by the Carving Knife.
This scene caused Xu Qing's eyes to shine with a strange light.
Next, an aura of death exploded out from Er Niu's body, pushing him up into the air.
As he stood there in midair, all of the corpses on the planet bowed their heads and kowtowed to him.
The maggots that hadn't died also curled up into a ball, sending out thoughts of submission.
Up in the Heavens, Er Niu's eyes suddenly opened, and they turned gray.
In the next instant, the grayness disappeared, replaced by greed. Er Niu threw his head back and laughed maniacally.
"I've conquered this planet!"
Xu Qing's heart was at ease, and he was just about to speak when something strange happened.
Rain poured down from the Heavens in this world. It was much heavier than before, forming lines of rain, which then transformed into a boundless curtain of rain.
Within this curtain of rain was a world.
This world was dim, and countless graves could be faintly seen ā¦.
It was raining outside, and it was also raining inside.
At this moment, the rain seemed to become a medium that merged everything, including Er Niu, who was laughing maniacally in midair, and Xu Qing, whose face had changed.
Devour it all.
