Chapter 1012
In the unknown memory fragment world of the Great Emperor Ming Yan, on a pitch-black plain, there was a huge gully.
Like an abyss.
Deep inside, an old man in a black robe was moving forward.
His appearance was no longer that of Ming Yan, but revealed a face full of vicissitudes.
It was precisely the black-robed person who had appeared within the Dao platform of the Great Emperor West Moyu.
The iron chains on his body made clanking sounds as he moved forward, and they were permeated with intense burning, but these did not bring any expression of pain to him; on the contrary, a sense of excitement filled him completely.
"Almost there..."
The black-robed old man's breathing also became rapid. He quickened his pace, his speed getting faster and faster. Finally, after an incense stick of time had passed, his body paused.
In front of him was the end of the abyss.
There was actually a water well here.
Standing by the well, the old man's expression revealed excitement as he looked down.
There was water in the well, and the surface of the water reflected a blurred world.
In that world, it was dim and permeated with death.
It was raining...
"This is it!"
The old man took a deep breath, his eyes resolute, and his body swayed straight into the well.
At the same time, in a memory fragment world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, this place looked like a fairyland, with white clouds and dancing cranes.
Immortal mountains stood on the earth, and amidst the curling clouds and mist, countless immortal palaces could be seen.
Outside the gate of the Seventeenth Xiangong, the Young Master of the Yun Clan stood there. After turning his head to gaze into the distance, his voice was hoarse as he whispered.
"It's going to rain."
After saying this, he pushed open the gate of the immortal palace in front of him.
The moment the palace gate opened, the sky of this world began to blow with wind.
Vaguely, it seemed that dampness was permeating the world.
And inside the opened immortal palace, it was dim, and it was raining.
The Young Master of the Yun Clan, as if on a pilgrimage, looked respectful and stepped inside.
At the same time, in the place where the Great Emperor Ming Yan had been in seclusion, those people from West West Moyu, as well as Lin Kun from East West Moyu, also used their own methods to leave the memory fragments they were originally in.
And in different ways, they explored other memory fragment worlds.
During this exploration, in the different memory fragment worlds they were in, the same weather change appeared one after another.
Clouds and mist churned, and rain fell.
"It's raining?"
A drop of rain fell in front of Xu Qing, landing on the leaves of the Saint Heaven Divine Vine.
The dark gray sky's cracks and gaps were slowly healing; only in other areas, clouds and mist gathered, and drops of rain were falling.
It drenched Xu Qing, and also drenched the earth, as well as the hair of Chen Erniu, who was proudly speaking.
"Senior Brother, let's go."
Xu Qing spoke calmly. His next goal was to find the Empress.
After all, in this strange place, after experiencing these things, Xu Qing felt that following the Empress was the safest.
But clearly, Chen Erniu did not think so.
In his heart, he could be said to have been incomparably disheveled on this star.
Especially after being stimulated by Xu Qing's magnificent entrance, the heart in Chen Erniu that refused to admit defeat beat with a speed and intensity that exceeded the past.
"In this ghost place, if I don't take anything away, the suffering I endured before will have been in vain."
Thinking this in his heart, on the surface he maintained a proud posture and spoke lightly.
"Little A-Qing, we don't need to rush to leave. This star has already been conquered by your Senior Brother me. Next will be the moment to pick the fruits of opportunity."
"You're lucky; you came just at the right time. As your Senior Brother, I won't hold it against you. I'll let you witness my rise with your own eyes!"
Chen Erniu raised his chin, shook his shoulders, and flicked his empty sleeve.
He struck a pose of looking down on everything.
It was just that his one leg and one hand, as well as his messy hair and the thousand holes in his body, made Chen Erniu look somewhat miserable no matter how one looked at him.
Xu Qing sighed in his heart, knowing that his Senior Brother's heart of competition had appeared again.
So he leaped, flew down from the divine vine, stood in front of Chen Erniu, and asked cooperatively.
"What opportunity?"
"Of course, it's the greatest fortune that the Great Emperor Ming Yan obtained here back then!"
Chen Erniu's eyes were bright. He licked his lips and scanned the surroundings. Looking at this barren star filled with corpses and maggots, his voice was low.
"Little A-Qing, you just arrived and don't know about my experience. I have already thoroughly understood this place and analyzed the karma."
"Don't look at the poor environment here; in fact, according to my judgment, the more this kind of place looks like nothing, the greater the opportunity hidden within."
"After all, the fact that this memory fragment of the Great Emperor Ming Yan can form a world shows that he had an extremely deep impression of this place back then..."
"And I have also analyzed during this time that the Great Emperor Ming Yan I transformed into was dying here with severe injuries. So how did he recover? And how did he leave here?"
"In the normal way, he would definitely have died, but he happened to leave."
"This is enough to show that this place hides a huge opportunity, and the Great Emperor Ming Yan obtained this opportunity!"
"This opportunity, because I transformed into Ming Yan here, can only be obtained by me!"
Chen Erniu's words were certain. After Xu Qing heard them, he understood the karma, and his eyes revealed a sharp light.
So he also looked at the surroundings and pondered in his heart.
Seeing that Xu Qing agreed with his judgment, Chen Erniu felt even more that his guess was correct, so he coughed.
"So my miserable appearance now, and being chased by those maggots before, were actually things I did on purpose. I was trying to experience the despair of the Great Emperor Ming Yan back then."
Chen Erniu took a big detour and finally got to this sentence.
It had to be said that Chen Erniu was not easy, and these words of his sounded like they really had some truth to them.
Xu Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Erniu.
"Senior Brother, have you found that opportunity?"
Chen Erniu blinked.
"Almost. After my many attempts, there are only two choices I haven't made."
"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 choice, because I have analyzed that if Ming Yan obtained the opportunity through death, then he must have had some strange treasure that could allow him to be resurrected after death."
"But I don't have such a treasure..."
"However, after you came, I felt there was a method that could serve a similar purpose..."
Chen Erniu looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing met his gaze and understood instantly.
"Senior Brother, are you talking about the threads of seven emotions and six desires transformed from the Six Thieves Delusion that we both possess?"
Chen Erniu nodded.
"That's right. The Six Thieves authority of the two of us is one, so the threads of seven emotions and six desires can also be connected together, and can be regarded as a rope."
"This rope, hanging onto my greed, can become the rope that pulls me out of death."
"Let's do it!"
When Chen Erniu said this, his eyes revealed madness. As the Six Thieves authority shone, the threads of seven emotions and six desires were conjured.
Seeing his Senior Brother so resolute, Xu Qing pondered and also operated the Six Thieves authority, scattering his own threads of seven emotions and six desires to merge with Chen Erniu's.
The moment these threads overlapped and connected, a greed and madness that had reached the extreme surged over from Chen Erniu's threads.
Surging over with it was his heart of competition.
"Are you sure?" Xu Qing asked.
"Sure. Don't worry, my will to survive might not be that strong, but my greed is enough. As long as the greed is there, everything else is not a problem."
Chen Erniu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and at the same time gave Xu Qing a wink.
Xu Qing saw his Senior Brother's determination and also perceived that the threads of seven emotions and six desires could indeed pull the other's last strand of greedy emotion. Most importantly, he noticed this wink, so his expression revealed no abnormality, and he sat down cross-legged.
Chen Erniu also sat down quickly, raised his single hand, and slapped his own head hard.
With a boom, his crown sank, and he fell to the ground.
But he didn't die.
On the verge of death, Chen Erniu spoke weakly.
"Little A-Qing, give me a hand. I can't kill myself on my own..."
Xu Qing's expression was strange, so he raised his right hand and pointed, landing on Chen Erniu's chest.
The next moment, Chen Erniu's chest roared, and his vitality flowed away rapidly.
Xu Qing focused, closely watching the threads of seven emotions and six desires connected to Chen Erniu, preparing to pull his vitality out of death at the critical moment.
Time passed bit by bit.
The vitality of this body of Chen Erniu, which had transformed into Ming Yan, was almost gone, the moment it disappeared completely.
Xu Qing's authority flashed suddenly, and he pulled hard.
Immediately, Chen Erniu's body shook, greed erupted, and vitality was stimulated. While having breath, his eyes also opened suddenly, revealing confusion. After recovering quickly, he was incomparably excited.
"I felt a power of death... My previous analysis was correct. The opportunity here can only be sensed through death!"
"Little A-Qing, again. This time, save me a little later."
Chen Erniu said, looking at Xu Qing expectantly.
Xu Qing was helpless and raised his hand, bringing down a palm.
Chen Erniu fell to the ground and didn't move.
This time, the moment his vitality dissipated, Xu Qing restrained his instinctive behavior of pulling him out, but instead focused on the threads of seven emotions and six desires. Until even the greed was dim, Xu Qing knew he couldn't wait any longer.
So his authority erupted, and he pulled hard. At the same time, the destiny carving knife also shone in his body.
Under this pull, Chen Erniu's waves of greed were about to revive.
But just at this moment, an aura of death radiated from this star, surged over along Chen Erniu's body.
Expressed in the threads of seven emotions and six desires was the appearance of gray mist, wanting to drown everything of Chen Erniu.
Xu Qing's eyes flashed. He knew that the thing his Senior Brother was waiting for had appeared.
With his understanding of Chen Erniu, he had already understood everything in his heart from the previous wink.
At this moment, without hesitation, the destiny carving knife flew out and slashed hard at the gray mist!
At the same time, Chen Erniu's just-dimmed greed also seemed to shed its concealment. At this instant, it erupted strongly, greed towering, seeming to transform into a heavenly dog, roaring silently as it swallowed hard toward that gray mist.
The next instant, the heavens and earth changed color.
The firmament roared, and the earth trembled.
On this barren star, all the corpses opened their eyes in unison.
Countless maggots made shrill sounds, trembling, and continued to collapse.
And as for Chen Erniu, Xu Qing saw clearly that the gray mist in his body was rapidly returning to this star, but in the end, a strand was swallowed directly by Chen Erniu's greed.
At the same time, he looked inside at his own returning destiny carving knife; there was also a strand of gray mist on it. That was what the carving knife had rolled back after slashing before, and it was currently being absorbed by the carving knife.
This scene made Xu Qing's eyes have a strange light.
Immediately after, an aura of death erupted from Chen Erniu's body, pushing his body to rise into the air.
The moment he stood in mid-air, the corpses on this star all lowered their heads and knelt to him.
The maggots that hadn't died also shrank and rolled into a ball, conveying a sense of submission.
And in the firmament, Chen Erniu's eyes opened suddenly and became gray.
The next instant, the gray disappeared. After being replaced by a sense of greed, Chen Erniu laughed wildly at the sky.
"I have conquered this star!"
Xu Qing felt at ease in his heart and was just about to speak, but just at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
In this world, the rain of the firmament fell like a downpour, surging countless times more than before, forming lines of rain and turning into a boundless curtain of rain.
And within this curtain of rain, a world appeared vaguely.
This world was dim, and countless grave mounds were looming...
It was raining outside, and it was also raining inside.
At this moment, the rain seemed to become a medium, merging everything, including Chen Erniu, who was laughing wildly in mid-air, and Xu Qing, whose expression changed.
Swallowing them all.
