Chapter 1227: Xu Qing was Furious!

18 Dec, 2024

Chapter 1227: Xu Qing was furious!

The wind of the Wanggu Mainland brought the familiar warmth in his memory.

That was the vast ocean from the Endless Sea, and also the strange substance from this world.

It was completely different from the fifth star ring.

Sensing all of this, Xu Qing opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, after moving his lips, he was unable to say anything.

Everything around him was blurry. Perhaps the heterogeneity was distorting the void, or perhaps the god-spirits from the Wanggu were affecting everything.

Only … the old woman who wore a black robe and had a face full of hardships was exceptionally clear in Xu Qing's eyes.

The wrinkles were like the ravines of time, mixed with wind and rain, and seemed to be mixed with fate.

Xu Qing naturally still remembered the little butterfly from back then.

In his memory, she was still a young girl who had a conflict with him. After that … she was also the one who brought him to Summer Immortal Palace for the first time and met the old Palace Lord of the Human Clan for the first time.

However, these scenes of memories and what he felt and saw now caused Xu Qing to feel that it was unreal.

"My teacher once said that those who have never experienced extreme pain will not understand that feeling. It is a kind of … unwilling to believe, and even instinctively deceiving oneself, pretending that nothing has happened."

"Because after extreme pain, there is nothingness."

The old woman smiled bitterly.

"And after I saw the calamity with my own eyes, I saw the loss with my own eyes … Only then did I understand what Teacher said, and I also felt everything. In the following 1,000 years, I was unable to walk out of it."

"Today, I've seen you … I hope that in the future, you'll be able to walk out."

The old woman bitterly turned around and walked off into the distance. Her back was bleak and filled with endless loneliness.

Xu Qing slowly raised his head and looked at the old woman's back.

"What about my Master … What about my Eldest Senior Brother … Zixuan and Ling 'er, and … and my friends, fellow disciples, and … everyone, how are they?"

Those who were familiar with him almost couldn't recognize the voice that came out of his mouth. That voice was hoarse, as if countless grains of sand were rubbing against each other.

Xu Qing didn't dare to ask this question, but he still asked it. His voice was hoarse and trembling.

The old woman stopped in her tracks, her back facing Xu Qing. She was silent for a moment.

In the end, the sound was like the flow of history, echoing from the Qiang flute of time.

"A thousand years ago, an ancient immortal descended upon the world in search of an item."

"He first went to the human race and saw the statue of the Swordsage Grand Emperor. He then wiped out the entire human race with a wave of his hand."

"Even someone as powerful as Empress Li Xia was still a junior in front of the ancient immortals. In the end, her mind was erased and she became a god slave."

"Your master didn't make a move. He doesn't care about the human race. He only cares about the people around him."

"That ancient immortal also didn't head to the Southern Phoenix Continent. There seems to be some sort of karma between him and your master, hence he intentionally spared you."

"But in the end, your master still came out of seclusion and stood in front of that Ancient Immortal to stop him from searching because … the thing that Ancient Immortal was looking for was your Eldest Senior Brother!"

"Your master fought for him. Your Eldest Senior Brother also returned from Brilliant Heaven and revealed his peak Quasi-Immortal cultivation. However, the result still didn't change."

"In that battle, your master died in battle, and your eldest apprentice-brother went mad. He became a sacrificial object for the ancient immortals."

"After that, your sect was completely annihilated. Your other senior brothers and sisters were all killed. The Southern Phoenix Continent also sank into the Endless Sea. The Southern Phoenix Continent … became a corpse."

"At this point, the Ancient Immortal left, and the Brilliant Heaven was shaken. The Ancient Spirit Emperor took this opportunity to rise, and the entire Wanggu fell into chaos."

"The Zixuan you speak of, I have some recollection of her. She perished in the wanderings and became food for the new god."

"As for Ling 'er, I remember her as well. She was devoured by the Ancient Spirit Emperor, and her providence returned."

"Most of the people you know have also died in the past thousand years."

Xu Qing lowered his head.

The old woman no longer spoke.

This was the end for everyone.

The wind blew from the distance, bringing with it a whistling sound as it blew past this place.

The dust and Xu Qing's long hair fluttered, but it could not take away the silence in his heart.

This was the end for everyone.

The old woman's sigh melted into the wind. Finally, she said a few words.

"If it wasn't for the things you left behind in the Wanggu, I would have thought that you had died in the outside world."

After she finished speaking, she silently shook her head and walked off into the distance with her own loneliness and bleakness.

It seemed that even though her teacher had left, she still had to shoulder the mission of the Summer Palace. Even though … she didn't know if this mission still had any meaning.

However, this was his teacher's final wish.

Thus, her figure slowly faded into the distance until she disappeared into the distortion of the world.

Time passed.

Xu Qing stood there. He didn't know what state he was in. He only knew that at this moment, his thoughts seemed to have frozen, and everything about him seemed to have stopped.

Including the soul.

Only the sound of the wind in his ears continued.

However, as he listened, the whistling sound seemed to have turned into whimpers.

Then, boundless pain suddenly engulfed him like a tide.

Everything in front of him turned blood-red.

It was blood that dyed his eyes red.

He opened his mouth and wanted to mutter something, but blood flowed out of his mouth uncontrollably.

All he could do was stagger backward.

"So, when pain reaches the pinnacle, it's nothing …"

He couldn't shed any tears. It was as if he had lost everything.

The emptiness in his heart was like a black hole that drowned everything.

Sinking into the black hole, there was no beginning or end.

Xu Qing believed that he should be familiar with this feeling. It was similar to when he was in the chaotic sea of time. However, he could not recall the state he was in at that time.

In his heart, only the voice of the old woman before she left still echoed again and again.

Gradually, some of the words in these voices became sparks that slowly gathered in his eyes.

"Your Eldest Senior Brother went mad and became a sacrificial object for the Ancient Immortal."

"You're talking about Ling'er? She was devoured by the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

"In the end, Empress Li Xia's consciousness was erased and she became a god slave."

"If it weren't for the things you left behind in Wanggu…"

Sparks of fire could linger.

Xu Qing's head moved slightly.

"Eldest Senior Brother might not be dead.

Ling 'er might still be able to be separated.

There was still hope for Empress Xia.

Zixuan, there might be an afterlife… "

"I still have a long way to go… Also, all of this is just what others say, and it isn't completely true!" At this moment, flames burned in Xu Qing's eyes.

"And here, I still have something left behind.“

Xu Qing suddenly raised his head. His gaze seemed to pierce through the endless, and his divine will sensed his surroundings.

Looking at the ruins, looking at the familiar yet strange world, looking at the gods everywhere … His heart was calling out, and his soul was stirring.

After a long time, a feeble response came from the direction of the Endless Sea.

In the next instant, Xu Qing's body vanished.

Under the Endless Sea, in the deep mud, many ferocious sea snakes were wriggling in the mud.

Dense divinity fluctuated on their bodies. If one were to look closely, one would see that each of these sea snakes had a sinister and strange ghost face.

And in the depths of the mud, there was a skeleton buried there.

Only half of the skeleton was left. Everything below the waist was gone.

The remaining upper body was also riddled with holes. There was not much flesh and blood left. No matter how one looked at it, it was no different from a corpse.

He seemed to have been sealed here. Even though he was a corpse, one could still feel the fluctuations of divine spells in his body. Under the influence of divine spells, his body continued to degenerate from the state of a god. Now, he was not far from becoming a mortal.

The surrounding sea snakes would occasionally come here to devour the remaining flesh and blood.

Originally, if there were no accidents, everything here would continue for a long time. In the end, the skeleton would completely dissipate.

However, at this moment, the calm and dark bottom of the sea suddenly rippled.

It was as if space had shattered!

Regardless of whether it was the heteroplasm or the pressure of the area, everything seemed to be wiped away and vanished.

Then, a figure appeared out of thin air!

It was Xu Qing.

He walked forward step by step. Wherever he passed, all living things at the bottom of the sea trembled. Even if there were gods present, they chose to remain silent.

Until he walked to the Sea Snake Mud.

The moment he looked over, all of the sea snakes began to tremble. The mud also began to churn on its own, revealing the bones that had been buried deep within.

Xu Qing's heart trembled as he looked at the skeleton.

This skeleton was his God clone.

However, the soul that remained in this body was like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.

However, from the injuries on the skeleton, Xu Qing could tell that his godly body had suffered great injuries back then. This also meant that … his godly body had experienced a calamity back then.

"Once I fuse this body into my body, I'll be able to sense everything that's happening to this clone with the same origin. I'll also be able to verify everything!"

An impulse rose up in Xu Qing's heart, and he blurred into motion. Reaching out, he prepared to absorb the corpse into his body.

However, just as his hand was about to land, Xu Qing suddenly stopped in place, and a strange expression appeared on his face as he looked at the God's body fragment.

"My divine body came from Desolate… Even if my soul can be destroyed, how can my flesh and blood be so damaged? How can it be sealed so easily by divine arts?!"

Xu Qing's pupils shrank as he suddenly looked up. His gaze pierced through the Endless Sea and looked at the sky.

There… was no Broken Face there!

But before this, he didn't have any doubts about this.

At the same time, he recalled his previous experiences. Whether it was the battlefield or the encounter with the God Lord, he only remembered the process but not the details. Even the Wanggu Continent was vague.

All of these thoughts were like mirrors that flickered in Xu Qing's mind. Suddenly, he said, "Don't worry."

"Aurora Immortal Palace, Heaven's Beyond!"

"Suppress!"

As soon as his voice came out, the color of the sky changed. The Endless Sea roared, and the Wanggu shook violently. The entire world was shaking.

Crackling sounds filled the air!

It was as if a heavenly palace was coming from the outside!

In the next moment, everything in front of Xu Qing was like a bubble being squeezed. A boom could be heard as everything in front of him exploded!

Everything was shattering and tumbling backwards, replaced by the starry sky and illuminated by the starlight. The might of the Immortal Palace also erupted at this moment.

Erasing the illusion and revealing the truth!

The world had changed greatly!

Xu Qing saw everything clearly.

How was this the Wanggu Continent? This was clearly the Outer Sky!

As for the skeleton in front of him, it wasn't his divine body. It was clearly … the half-human, half-spider True God!

This True God wanted Xu Qing to take the initiative to merge with him!

Thus, he had transferred his carrier and returned under the guise of a shell!

Xu Qing had awakened!

His awakening also caused a powerful backlash to the returning true god. That was especially true now that the immortal palace was suppressing him and supporting him with the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

The True God's face twisted, and golden blood oozed out of his body. Pained howls could be heard in all directions.

"How did you wake up?!"

However, Xu Qing, who was facing him, had extreme anger burning in his eyes.

In his life, his anger had rarely reached such a peak!
