Chapter 1242: Departure and Revival of Extermination

A scene unfolding on the Eastern Wanggu continent in the ninth star ring instantly triggered the palpitations of the old god venerable inside the coffin in the fissure altar of the fourth star ring.

With His stature, this palpitation required only a single thought to comprehend cause and effect.

"The Upper Wasteland has been attracted by these two!!"

Inside the coffin, the old god venerable's expression was unprecedentedly solemn; the life-and-death sensation rising from his divine soul instinct transformed into a towering wave, now erupting and overturning heaven.

Intense to the extreme.

Thus, at the critical moment, the old god venerable hesitated not at all, instantly concealing all his aura.

Even his divine soul thoughts instantly dispersed; from time, from space, from causality, from everywhere he could reach, he completely erased himself.

As if he had never existed!

Yet even so, He remained uneasy, so while erasing Himself, He issued a residual thought decree toward the returning Extermination God Lord!

"Drive these two out immediately!"

This decree's divine sound contained inconceivable power; the instant it was transmitted, the returning Extermination God Lord's returning thought surged with sudden waves.

As if bestowed with status and higher divinity from empty air, His originally time-consuming return was forcibly completed in this instant.

Moreover, this divine sound possessed the function of an anchor, enabling the Extermination God Lord, who had lost his physical body as a return marker, to return without a physical body, relying solely on this divine sound!

Thus, in the next instant, the void where the Extermination God Lord's remains once existed exploded with a boom!

Using divine thought as bone and divine sound as flesh, a dark-gold skeleton was directly woven forth from that nothingness!

Suspended in midair, two points of scarlet suddenly blazed beneath its decaying coronet.

Terrifying might descended like a towering flood.

All dust within the fissure trembled.

Furthermore, the fate of the fourth star ring came invisibly from beyond the fissure, resonating with it.

But He, had no consciousness!

Even having reached such a realm, before a god venerable, He still could not escape interference, could not escape being controlled by the residual thought, and must act according to its decree!

Upon descending, the skeleton's scarlet eyes suddenly fixed on Xu Qing.

Within its chest, an inexplicable rhythm stirred, rising with the gaze.

The void rumbled!

Here, Xu Qing, under this sudden change, focused his mind; his five viscera and six bowels instantly trembled from the rhythm emitted by the skeleton, and a bloody taste rose in his throat.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Beside him, Chen Erniu's body exploded with a boom, directly collapsing into countless blue worms, which then collapsed again, continuously, and during the collapse, those blue worms' eyes all showed shock.

Though this sounds lengthy, in reality it all happened in a flash of lightning and stone.

The accident came with incredible swiftness!

At the critical moment, Xu Qing unleashed his cultivation without reserve, the immortal embryo released, his constitution fully spread, and his true name also manifested.

Yet he still underwent violent bodily convulsions, blood gushed out, and his flesh and blood reversed.

The might from the God Lord was too astonishing.

But Xu Qing's eyes flashed with silver light; as he waved his hand, a magical tool gleamed, those nail-like crescent blades straight for the skeleton.

At the very moment the magical tool surged forward, Xu Qing let out a low growl without hesitation.

"Explode!"

This thought released, those crescent-blade nails instantly scattered brilliant radiance, blazing to the extreme, spreading through everything in the fissure, and then a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering destructive might arose within...

Boom—!

This was indeed using a self-destruct magical tool to exchange for blocking power!

In an instant, the magical tool self-destructed, causing the world within the fissure to instantly undergo drastic change, and furthermore, a terrifying impact swept across the four directions like mountains and seas overturning;.

Xu Qing trembled all over, spat blood again, but also seized this opportunity, raised his hand and pressed down on the collapsing Chen Erniu.

Instantly, the power of his immortal embryo covered him, causing Chen Erniu's collapsing body to briefly recover, reappearing in human form.

Then he grabbed Chen Erniu's arm, operated his cultivation at any cost within his body, exchanged for extreme speed, and violently retreated.

The retreat speed was astonishing; as he retreated, the void beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.

Countless silver lights scattered from within the fissure, turning into threads of immortal embryo power, forming layer upon layer of light curtains containing quasi-immortal might, flashing toward the suddenly appearing skeleton.

And at this moment, the Extermination skeleton floating in the void, besides its scarlet eyes, its entire body was turning golden.

Upon its body, one could see ten billion divine rings emerging, and each divine ring clearly reflected a shattered universe.

These, combined together, formed His divinity!

He gazed at the distant Xu Qing and Chen Erniu rapidly retreating, expressionless, lifted his right foot, and stepped forward.

The instant this step landed, His entire body's star rings shattered with a boom, threads of golden mist scattered from within, gathered together, seeming to become a golden mist sea, sweeping violently toward Xu Qing and Chen Erniu, ignoring the light curtain.

Its purpose was not merely to disperse, but also to rely on this mist to seal the fissure's mouth at the instant the two departed.

In the distance, Xu Qing, about to approach the fissure's mouth, sensed this scene, his pupils contracted to needle-point size, he saw within the golden mist scattering from the shattered star rings, clearly there were living beings wailing.

These were the subjects of the Extermination God Lord's divine kingdom.

Now, they had been sacrificed.

And as the golden mist sea surged, it also stirred up a terrifying wind, first coming from the sea, falling upon Xu Qing and Chen Erniu, causing their blood to spurt again, and their bodies were also pushed by this wind, drawing them ever closer to the fissure's mouth.

"How does it feel, this one is seeing us off?"

Chen Erniu, held in Xu Qing's hand, at this moment licked the blood from his mouth corner, suddenly grinned.

"But... this is the God Lord after all, indeed powerful!"

As he spoke, Chen Erniu's eyes went mad, he tore open his chest flesh and blood, actually revealing his heart.

That heart was covered in strange patterns, oozing deep blue fluorescence.

Faintly visible, within each pattern, within each strand of blue light, existed countless minute beings similar to the divine source.

Just like the patterns of Luo and the blue light, they are all worlds, and this heart containing countless worlds is like a great universe.

"Little Aqing, pull it out for me, throw it over!"

Chen Erniu's expression turned ferocious, he let out a low growl.

Xu Qing's gaze sharpened; he and his senior brother had worked together for many years, knowing the other could use every part of his body, after all, even the skin had been used back then, and the effect was extraordinary.

So at this moment, Xu Qing hesitated not at all; his left hand shot up instantly, plunging deep into Chen Erniu's chest, grabbing his heart, and yanking it outward violently.

Blood vessels tore, blood spurted forth, Chen Erniu let out a miserable cry, his aura plummeting directly, he could no longer sustain himself, and began to disintegrate.

Transforming into a tiny blue wriggling worm, it burrowed into Xu Qing's hair, there panting heavily, yet its eyes glowed.

And his heart, now in Xu Qing's hand, was still beating vigorously.

And from within it emanated an astonishing aura.

Xu Qing instantly flicked, hurling the still-beating heart in his hand toward the towering golden mist sea rolling in from behind, throwing it with all his might!

Along its path, the void froze into crystalline solids, and upon entering the golden mist sea, the mist sea itself instantly transformed, actually presenting the appearance of being ice-sealed.

Moreover, deep blue light flared, wildly spreading.

As for within the mist sea, the skeletons that had come to tide-walk, though continuing to break ice and advance, were nonetheless suffused with blue light all over.

At the same time, their bodies were visibly encased in blue ice.

Thus, its hollow eye sockets gazed afar at Chen Erniu within Xu Qing's hair.

Then the red in its eyes surged greatly, about to raise its hand, but in the next instant……

A drastic change, suddenly erupted! ——

A moment later, there was still
