Chapter 1296: Eminent Desolation Opens His Eyes!

The fluctuations that would normally make the fourth star ring, and even the entire upper 36 star rings, trembled slightly at this moment.

Inside the crack, the scarlet eyes of the Li Zhu Skeleton instantly swayed like a candle flame blown by the wind.

Then … he retreated rapidly, disregarding everything else.

But it was still too late.

The upper rings suddenly fell into absolute silence at this moment!

Whether it was the gods, the cultivators, all living beings, countless stars, everything was blank at this moment.

It was as if a pair of eyes that crossed dimensions had changed their position from where they were originally looking to … the starry sky!

It was a gaze that transcended time and space.

It was the huge Broken Face in the sky above the ancient continent in the ninth star ring. At this moment … it raised its head.

It completely opened its eyes!

Therefore, in the fourth star ring, outside the crack, in the gap of the space-time folds, a golden pupil silently appeared.

The inside of the pupil reflected the full appearance of the crack.

The moment it looked.

Inside the crack, the Li Zhu Skeleton's body trembled like never before. Being stared directly by this gaze, his body emitted an ear-piercing scream, and the remaining divine rings on his body exploded one after another.

The power that the old God Venerable used to conceal his consciousness also shattered at this moment, allowing God Lord Li Zhu to recover his consciousness.

However, the moment he recovered, his mind was shrouded by death.

Together with his body, he rapidly dissipated as if he had been erased and swallowed by the void.

At the same time, everything in this crack was changing drastically.

A sharp roar like friction sounded. Spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground of the crack and spread rapidly. Each crack emitted a trembling sound like glass shattering.

The entire space was like an eggshell that had been gnawed by a giant beast. At this moment, layer by layer, it peeled off.

It collapsed with a loud bang.

The divine chains inside also moved at this moment. The divine runes that appeared on the surface of the chains exploded one after another and completely disintegrated.

Space-Time was also fluctuating and being distorted by an invisible force.

Black holes that were collapsing turned into vortexes and appeared one after another in this distortion.

All the fragments of space-time here were crazily torn apart and forcibly merged with each other without any logic.

They formed phantoms of worlds that didn't exist.

This scene caused Xu Qing, who had not completely left the crack's exit, to have a shocking wave in his mind.

Surprisingly, he saw his own figure in one of the illusory worlds.

There, he was drinking with Er Niu. As for his expression … it was filled with terror.

Before Xu Qing could see more clearly, the space-time within the crack began to crumple like paper. Fragments of different timelines began to overlap with each other.

Within the strand of Xu Qing's hair, Er Niu's mind was in turmoil. He seemed to be able to see his childhood in this life floating in the air, but in another fragment, his adult body was experiencing the intense pain of his soul shattering.

Furthermore, all sorts of reactions were gathering and exploding in his direction.

The resulting confusion overturned everything.

Xu Qing's heart trembled violently. His constitution was compatible with the chaotic time and space, and within the chaotic time vortex, he could see his past, present, and future.

Countless avatars were making different choices, but each choice caused a slight change in the universe.

The sight of this caused his heart to pound rapidly.

An even stranger scene appeared at this moment.

In one of the fragments, crystalline branches grew out of the divine bones that formed the altar, and they quickly turned into fruit trees.

But the fruits turned out to be miniature Xu Qing and Er Niu.

The fruit Er Niu on one of the branches suddenly turned his head and smiled eerily at Xu Qing.

The moment he saw this smile, Xu Qing's left ear was scratched. As blood spread out, it mixed with the space-time dust at the side and directly condensed into frost.

In the sound, he could vaguely hear his own scream after three breaths.

This was the sound of a voice from the future.

Space-Time was in chaos.

As for the bronze coffin in the distance, it was trembling violently in this series of drastic changes.

It seemed to be resisting.

The patterns on the outer layer of the coffin were collapsing, revealing the liquid divine source flowing in the middle layer.

The divine source was also dissipating. Countless pale withered hands that contained ancient intent reached out from within and struggled outwards.

However, in the eyes of those outside the crack, they withered and turned into ashes.

In the next breath, the trembling coffin suddenly emitted a blazing white light, and then there was a loud bang.

The bronze coffin collapsed and exploded!

The fragments turned into millions of bronze falcons and scattered in all directions.

A decaying figure dashed out from within!

While one couldn't see his appearance clearly, one could only feel that he was decaying. At the same time, one could see that this figure was surrounded by light ribbons like a golden river, and every ray of light was shining with a Venerable Godhead.

The moment he appeared, he didn't stop at all, nor did he make any sound. Instead, he fled into the distance at his fastest speed!

At this moment, all the Venerables in the entire 36 Star Rings were shocked as they stared at this place. In this crack, space-time was in chaos, and the void continued to collapse.

Everything was dissipating.

Even though Xu Qing had karma with Eminent Desolation and had survived many times when Desolation opened his eyes, the chaos in this space-time was still endlessly dangerous for him.

He couldn't escape at all.

At the same time, the vortexes and black holes that appeared here were the source of space-time chaos.

Xu Qing knew that if he was sucked in, it would be difficult for him to leave.

Fortunately, he had the will of space-time and the power of parallel Space to stack universes. Only then could he struggle and swim in this chaos and distortion.

However, his body and soul were in an uncontrollable state. They were being pulled in this distorted space-time, and Erniu's screams became ethereal and illusory.

Even parts of Xu Qing's body had turned into light particles, as if they were fusing with the chaos here.

As for Erniu, he was also in danger. His body was dissipating, and only his teeth were biting Xu Qing's hair. However, this didn't stop him from screaming.

As for the countless fragments that shot out from the coffin's collapse, one of them was attracted by the turbulence and crashed into Xu Qing's body. It broke through his flesh and embedded itself into his body, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Xu Qing couldn't care less about this. He knew that this place was completely disorderly and was collapsing continuously. It was about to turn into nothingness, and it was also extremely dangerous.

At this critical moment, Xu Qing's mind suddenly stirred.

"This scene is so familiar!"

Xu Qing's mind shook. He suddenly remembered that in the God of Pain's illusion, he was hunted down by the God of Pain and was forced to enter the space-time chaos. Within it, he found Summer Immortal's opportunity.

Although the scene before him was different, it was also similar.

"The illusion is real… could it be…"

Thinking of this, Xu Qing was silent for a moment. Then, his eyes were filled with determination. He controlled his will, turning it into thin threads that covered his body and weaved into a cocoon.

Then, he rushed towards a black hole vortex.

He entered the space-time chaos!
