Chapter 1340: Stars Bloom, Two Suns Soar Into the Sky!

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Morning Dawn Mountain.

Decades ago, this mountain no longer had the glow of the morning sun, but now, it shone once more. At that moment, in the afterglow, it shone with a myriad of colors.

It also slowly separated the two figures.

Xu Qing walked further and further away from the light.

Zi Xuan looked into the distance.

"He's right. His mysterious brother has indeed waited for him for a long time."

On Morning Dawn Mountain, the void beside Zi Xuan rippled. Seventh Master walked out slowly and looked into the distance with Zi Xuan.

"That's the fated battle between them. According to my observations outside the Great Heaven-Devouring Region, his brother has reached his limit."

"So, what we need to do is to protect this place."

Seventh Master's voice echoed. Zi Xuan nodded gently.

Outside Morning Dawn Mountain, Zhou Zhengli, Xing Huanzi, Xie Lingzi, and the others were sitting cross-legged around the mountain. They were meditating to improve their condition and cultivation.

They were all at their peak.

They were waiting silently!

......

Time passed. Three days passed.

Xu Qing only needed one step to head to the Great Heaven-Devouring Region. However, he walked very slowly.

As he walked, he looked at the sky and earth of ancient times. He looked at everything in ancient times and also recalled his childhood.

He thought about many things along the way. Whether it was his childhood experience or the blurry figures of his parents, they all appeared in his mind as he walked.

These memories naturally included his elder brother.

On the third day, Xu Qing arrived at the northern border of the Great Heaven-Devouring Region. It was the same dusk as when he left Morning Dawn Mountain.

It was a black mountain range that stretched endlessly.

Standing on the mountain range, the wind blew. Xu Qing faced the wind and looked into the distance.

One could see that on this side of the mountain range, black fog was churning and shrouding the sky and earth, isolating everything.

This fog filled the entire Great Heaven-Devouring Region. Mournful cries could be heard from within as if there were countless demons and monsters. It made one shudder and fear spread from one's soul.

There was also an extremely dense foreign substance on this side of the mountain range that filled the entire Great Heaven-Devouring Region.

It had already surpassed the Brilliant Heaven World that Xu Qing had been to.

The foreign substance here was full of vitality as if it had a life of its own and could devour people at any time.

The feeling it gave Xu Qing was very similar to that of Peerless City and Primordial Ancient City when Remnant God Face opened his eyes.

"Over there, there are mortals that have been invaded by divine aura. At the same time, countless strange things have been born there."

A low voice came from behind Xu Qing..

Jade Glazed Dust walked out of the void and came to Xu Qing's side and bowed.

"Greetings, Immortal Lord."

Xu Qing turned his head and looked at Jade Glazed Dust. He wasn't surprised that this god had appeared here. He hadn't hidden himself on this trip and had instead revealed himself to the world. He had long since known that Jade Glazed Dust's breakthrough was closely related to him.

"I'm not the Immortal Lord."

Xu Qing shook his head.

Jade Glazed Dust shook his head too...

"Not an Immortal Lord, but better than an Immortal Lord. There is no big difference."

Xu Qing didn't say much. He averted his gaze and continued to look towards the Great Heaven-Devouring Region.

Jade Glazed Dust's voice was still echoing.

"Where there are gods, there must be strange creatures."

"Mortals and even many cultivators don't understand. They think that it's a strange creatures that is the companion of gods. Even many gods themselves think so. But in reality… the Immortal Lord should have noticed …"

"Strange Creatures, not the companion of a gods."

"To a certain extent, they can even be said to be a curse to the gods!

Hearing Jade Dust's words, Xu Qing said calmly.

"Are you talking about the Strange Realm?"

Jade Glazed Dust's eyes glowed with a golden light.

"Strange Creatures existed before the Gods. They perished because of them, thus becoming a curse — shadows that cling, coexisting with the Gods."

"So… the gods above the God Altar Stage, they didn't…"

Jade Crystal Dust's body suddenly shook as if it had suffered a backlash. It spat out a mouthful of golden blood.

"The rules of the Upper World do not allow me to reveal this answer. This is an answer that affects the knowledge of all living beings in the Upper World. As for me, due to the uniqueness of my Godly Authority, I was able to peek into it …"

Jade Glazed Dust wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and waved his right hand. Immediately, the will of constitution spread out and enveloped the area. He then looked at the Jade Glazed Dust.

"You can try. Go on."

Jade Glazed Dust sensed the outside world, then took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

"Think carefully. The gods you've seen in your life, as long as they're at the God Altar Stage or above… don't have a shadow!"

As soon as Jade Glazed Dust said this, Xu Qing's eyes lit up.

"Because the shadow is the carrier of the Strange Realm, and at the same time, it's also a curse to the gods."

"This knowledge is affected by the rules of the Upper World, so all living beings don't pay attention to it."

After saying this, Jade Glazed Dust was sweating profusely, and his body was trembling.

Xu Qing was deep in thought. He recalled that the gods above the God Altar Stage that he had seen in his life did not have a shadow. However, before this, he had not paid attention to this.

"Interesting …"

Xu Qing said calmly.

"Then why did you come here to tell me the reason for this?"

Jade Glazed Dust looked at Xu Qing and bowed deeply.

"Immortal Lord, I guessed that you would come to the Great Heaven-Devouring Region, so in the past few decades, I've told 370,000 stories about this place…"

"But without exception, every story was strangely replaced in the process of telling, making it impossible for me to complete the ending of the story."

"This place is most likely related to the Strange Realm. Immortal Lord, your brother… his identity might not be hidden…"

Xu Qing stared at Jade Glazed Dust for a long time and nodded.

Jade Glazed Dust breathed a sigh of relief. The purpose of his visit was to tell Xu Qing this.

After saying this, he did not stay any longer. His body retreated and gradually disappeared between heaven and earth.

Only a blessing reverberated in Xu Qing's ears.

"I wish you a smooth trip. Where your heart desires, you can go."

The wind on the mountain became even stronger at that moment. Xu Qing mumbled in a low voice as the wind howled in his ears.

"Where your heart desires, you can go …"

After a few breaths, he raised his foot and took a step toward the Great Heaven-Devouring Region that was shrouded in black fog.

When he appeared, he was already at the border of the Great Heaven-Devouring City.

In … the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom.

The moment he appeared, the earth rumbled!

The endless black fog that shrouded the Great Heaven-Devouring Region began to churn violently, as if it had turned into a raging sea.

Every wave of anger echoed with all sorts of mournful cries. It was extremely ear-piercing.

The intense rejection of Xu Qing seemed to want to expel him!

Countless cold auras flowed out from the black fog. They contained dense malice and madness as they rapidly gathered towards Xu Qing.

Within the fog, Xu Qing was expressionless as he raised his right foot and stomped on the ground.

It was as if millions of heavenly bolts of lightning had exploded in this region.

Amidst the rumbling, a special fate from Xu Qing's body rose into the sky and turned into half a crown that floated above his head.

It gave off waves of invisible pressure that spread out in all directions.

That special fate … came from the same source as the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom!

Wherever it passed, the fog was pushed back, revealing the decaying earth and desolate world.

As for the endless cold malice in the fog, it suddenly stopped and then quickly melted away. The cold was no longer there, and the feeling of rejection from the Violet and Cyan Kingdom was now replaced by cheering and welcoming!

This was because the special fate that formed the half crown on Xu Qing's head was the fate of the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom!

Back then, when the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom's prince's plan was not completed, Master Seven revived Xu Qing and took away half of it for Xu Qing!

Now, this half had returned.

It was like a half-step emperor had returned.

As a result, the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom that had replaced the Great Heaven-Devouring Region and returned from ancient times was suddenly filled with endless waves. The black fog churned, and it was comparable to when it had descended.

As the entire country rumbled, Xu Qing, who had walked into the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom, took a second step forward.

With one step, he crossed the distance. When he appeared … he was already in the capital of the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom!

He saw the capital that was completely covered in fog and foreign matter, as well as the citizens of the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom.

The capital looked like an ink painting. While it was blurry, one could only vaguely see that the style was very ancient. As for the citizens of the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom … it was even more so.

Their figures were like an ink painting, and no matter if they were men or women, old or young, no matter what their status was, they were all like this.

Xu Qing's appearance was like a drop of color in the ink painting. While it made him stand out, he was also watched by the countless citizens of the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom.

Their gazes were filled with hatred, madness, and confusion.

It was as if they wanted to pounce on Xu Qing, but because of the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom's fate, they had no choice but to lower their heads.

All of this was reflected in Xu Qing's eyes.

Xu Qing fell silent and withdrew his gaze. He looked at the palace in the distance and took a third step.

When he landed, he appeared at the center of the capital… within the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom's Imperial Palace!

He stood in front of the palace, on the pitch-black square.

In front of him was a massive and holy statue.

That was… the only statue of the Great Eminent Desolation in this world!

This statue was clearly an inanimate object, but it exuded an extremely strong pressure, causing the entire palace to fall silent.

Behind the statue was the main hall, whose door had long been opened.

In the hall, there was a person sitting on the dragon throne!

He wore an imperial crown and an imperial robe. He had purple hair and an extremely handsome appearance. At the same time, he exuded a strong evil aura.

It was … the Great Violet and Cyan Kingdom's Crown Prince!

At this moment, he had one hand on his head and was looking at Xu Qing, who had appeared in the square outside the palace.

A gentle smile gradually appeared on his evil face.

His voice was also filled with gentleness. In this strange environment, in this special atmosphere, it gently echoed.

"As expected of my little brother. You're still as smart as when you were young."

"You didn't appear in front of me in your strongest immortal and god fusion state, nor did you bring your god body into our capital."

"But that's not important. What's important is that you're finally here, little brother."
