Chapter 1303: Extermination God's Revival
A scene unfolding on the Eastern Wanggu continent in the ninth star ring instantly triggered a heart palpitation in the old god venerable inside the coffin within 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 grew unprecedentedly grave; the life-and-death sensation rising from his divine soul's instinct transformed into a towering wave, now erupting and overturning heaven.
It intensified 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's 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 God of Extermination!
"Drive these two out immediately!"
This decree, imbued with inconceivable power, the instant it was transmitted, caused the returning God of Extermination's returning thought to surge with sudden ripples.
As if bestowed with stature and higher divinity from empty air, His originally time-consuming return was forcibly completed in this instant.
Moreover, this decree served as an anchor, enabling the God of Extermination, who had lost His physical form as a marker for return, to come back without a body, relying solely on this decree!
Thus, in the next instant, the void where the God of Extermination's corpse once existed exploded with a boom!
With divine thought as bone and divine decree as flesh, a dark-gold skeleton was directly woven forth from that nothingness!
Suspended in midair, two points of scarlet light suddenly flared beneath the decaying coronet on its face.
Terrifying might descended like a towering flood.
All dust within the fissure trembled.
Furthermore, the fate of the fourth star ring arrived invisibly from outside the fissure, resonating with it.
But He possessed no consciousness!
Even having reached such a realm, before a god venerable, He still could not escape interference, could not escape being controlled by that residual thought, and must act according to its decree!
Upon descending, the skeleton's scarlet eyes suddenly fixed upon Xu Qing.
Within its chest, an inexplicable rhythm arose with the gaze.
The void roared!
Here, Xu Qing, amid 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 as they collapsed, the eyes of those blue worms all showed horror.
Though this sounds lengthy, it actually 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 his body still shook violently, blood spurted, and his flesh and blood reversed.
The might from the God of Extermination was too astonishing.
But Xu Qing's eyes flashed with silver light; as he waved his hand, his Dao artifact gleamed, and those hook-like nails shot straight at the skeleton.
At the very moment the Dao artifact surged forward, Xu Qing let out a low growl without hesitation.
"Explode!"
This thought spoken, the hook-like nails instantly scattered brilliant radiance, blazing to the extreme, spreading throughout the fissure, and then a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering destructive might arose within...
Boom!
This was indeed using a self-detonating Dao artifact to exchange for blocking power!
In an instant, the Dao artifact self-detonated, causing the world within the fissure to undergo a sudden 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 scattered body to briefly recover, re-forming into a human shape.
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, forming thread after thread of immortal embryo power, assembling into layer after layer of light curtains imbued with near-immortal might, flashing toward the suddenly appearing skeleton.
At this moment, the floating Extermination skeleton in the void, besides its scarlet eyes, was turning golden all over.
On its body, one billion divine rings could be seen emerging, and each divine ring clearly reflected a shattered universe.
These, combined together, formed His divinity!
He gazed at the rapidly retreating Xu Qing and the other, expressionless, lifted his right foot and stepped forward.
The instant this step landed, His entire body's star rings shattered with a boom, strands of golden mist flowed out 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, and he saw clearly within the golden mist scattering from the shattered star rings that there were living beings wailing.
These were the subjects of the God of Extermination's divine nation.
Now, they had all been sacrificed.
And as the golden mist sea surged, it also stirred up a terrifying wind, first arriving 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, He is sending us off?"
Chen Erniu, held in Xu Qing's hand, licked the blood from his mouth corner, then suddenly grinned.
"But... this is the God of Extermination after all, truly 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 A-Qing, pull it out for me and throw it over!"
Chen Erniu's expression turned ferocious as he let out a low growl.
Xu Qing's gaze sharpened; having worked with his senior brother for many years, he knew the latter could use every part of his body—after all, even his skin had been used before, with remarkable results.
Thus, Xu Qing hesitated not at all; his left hand shot up instantly, plunging deep into Chen Erniu's chest, gripping his heart, and yanking it outward with sudden force.
Blood vessels tore, blood spurted forth, Chen Erniu cried out in agony, his aura plummeting directly, his very being unable to sustain itself, scattering apart.
Transforming into a tiny blue worm, it burrowed into Xu Qing's hair, panting there, though its eyes glowed with light.
And his heart, now in Xu Qing's hand, still pulsed vibrantly.
Moreover, it emitted an astonishing aura from within.
Xu Qing instantly flicked his wrist, hurling the still-beating heart in his hand toward the towering golden mist sea rolling in from behind, throwing it with fierce force.
Wherever it passed, the void froze into crystalline forms, and upon entering the golden mist sea, the mist sea itself instantly transformed, presenting the appearance of being sealed in ice.
Even more, a deep blue radiance wildly spread across it.
As for within the mist sea, the skeletons that had come to traverse the sea, though continuing to break through the ice and advance, were nonetheless suffused with blue light from head to toe.
At the same time, their bodily forms were visibly encased in blue ice.
Thus, its hollow eye sockets gazed afar toward Chen Erniu within Xu Qing's hair.
Then, the red in its eyes surged greatly, as it prepared to raise its hand—but in the very next instant……
A drastic change erupted suddenly! —
There will be more later
