Chapter 1358

Xu Qing was indeed going to split himself open!

Wanting to manifest the long corridor within his soul, Xu Qing could not actively achieve it.

So during those years on Mount Zhaoxia, he finally referenced some special methods and found a way!

That was……to borrow the initial sacrifice of the strange object source, turning himself inside out from within!

Since the long corridor is within the soul, turning everything about himself inside out, ultimately unfolding the sacrifice, and with the aid of a life-and-death crisis……according to Xu Qing's deduction, the possibility of success is extremely high.

However, this method is too cruel, and ordinary people cannot bear it.

But for Xu Qing, this is the only way.

So at this moment, as the Emperor Sword descended, when the wound that rose from his brow and pierced through his entire body was carved out in that instant, Xu Qing's cultivation within his body shook outward violently.

The next moment.

The Crimson Moon Authority, as an external force, manifested around Xu Qing, turning into blood mist, condensing into a blood-colored altar!

Then Ghost Emperor Mountain became the altar's frame, lifting the altar high!

The Golden Crow transformed into iron chains, connecting Ghost Emperor Mountain and the altar, shaking on its own.

The Poison-Ban power descended from nowhere, turning into rolling black mist, empowering Xu Qing.

Subsequently, Ding Yisaner was summoned and manifested.

Inside, the mad old painter walked out, grinding the Mount Zhaoxia light with a millstone to color the altar, and at the altar's southern corner, he maniacally laughed as he plunged the paintbrush in his hand into his own brow.

The stone lion trembled, emitting a mournful roar from its mouth.

Next, within the altar's poisonous mist, the straw man grinned with a strange smile, swaying as he walked out, kneeling at the altar's eastern corner, his hands raised high holding the Time Bottle.

And at the altar's western corner, the hand of a spirit appeared, placing the head from within Ding Yisaner in front.

The head's voice echoed mournfully.

"You are dead, you are dead, you are dead!"

This scene after scene……is precisely the initial sacrifice of the strange object source!

Within it, the east, south, and west corners already have sacrifices, only Xu Qing's front, the northern corner, is empty.

Thus, at the moment this sacrifice formed, Xu Qing, sitting cross-legged at the exact center of the altar, his body trembled violently.

Instantly, his immortal power transformed into invisible blades, centered on the wound at his brow, sweeping across all positions of his body in an instant between flesh and skin.

Excruciating pain instantly engulfed his mind and spirit.

Xu Qing's body, at this moment, directly……separated flesh from skin.

Flesh remained on the body, while the skin……became clothing!

And in the aftermath of this immortal power, his skin peeled off from his body toward both sides, finally completely separating from him, falling before him, falling at the altar's northern corner.

Xu Qing, indeed, had peeled off his own skin, becoming a sacrifice.

At this moment, his body had no skin layer left, only bloody flesh intertwined with veins, appearing shocking to behold, while his offering continued!

The Emperor Sword flew up, then descended again toward his brow.

Between the flashes of sword light, this time what was split open……was Xu Qing's flesh!

And the sword qi, bolstered by Xu Qing's own immortal power, with even greater sharpness, clung to his own bones, sweeping across his entire body in an instant.

Truly separating bone from flesh!

Afterwards, his flesh was peeled off, flying from his body and falling before him onto the altar's northern corner, atop his own skin!

Without ending, having lost flesh and skin, sitting cross-legged at the altar's center, Xu Qing, at this moment, the Emperor Sword flashed again, and with the roar of his sword qi, his entire body's bones and even his five viscera and six bowels instantly separated apart!

Scattering and falling toward the altar's northern corner.

Bones upon flesh, viscera upon bones!

And at the altar's center, at this moment what remained……was only Xu Qing's soul!

His soul floated there, emitting a hint of madness.

"Sacrifice!"

As this soul sound arose, the initial sacrifice of the strange object source was completely opened!

The altar rumbled.

The surrounding void twisted and deformed, as if an invisible immense force were tearing at the boundary between reality and illusion.

Moreover, countless black shadows took on the forms of myriad strange strange object outlines, carrying a strange aura, generated from the gloomy wind.

Between the sounds of weeping and howling echoing, their number was even boundless.

And at the instant of their appearance, like beasts that had smelled blood, they lunged toward Xu Qing's soul……in a single pounce.

In every dimension, in every concept, in every story, whether void, whether spacetime, whether any parallel, all were locked onto.

Causing Xu Qing's soul, and everything within his soul, to be enveloped.

Madly gnawing and tearing.

And after the painter's death, his strange laughter, corpse hand raised, madly painting.

The stone lion roared!

"What is the strange, first the gods emerge, ascend the stellar ring, the strange realm before the gods!"

The head jumped and sang loudly, its voice sharp as a funeral dirge!

As for the outside world, those spirit projections formed in the Upper Wasteland's gaze, at this moment, in the extremely solemn expression of Prince Ziqing, also came rushing from all directions.

To destroy everything.

At this critical moment, as Xu Qing's soul endured unparalleled tearing, the Emperor Sword floating before him flashed violently, sword qi shocking heaven, slashing upon Xu Qing's soul!

At the moment it fell, Xu Qing's soul, finally within the sword qi, was split open!

Causing the power of the initial sacrifice, as if it had found an outlet, to directly rush into Xu Qing's soul!

Completely tearing open his soul!

And in the instant it opened……

Endless black mist, suddenly surged from within Xu Qing's soul.

Within those mists, doors could be seen!

These doors were irregular in shape, large and small, they surrounded each other, actually forming a long corridor passage!

And deep within that long corridor passage……there suddenly existed a huge seat!

At this moment, as the primordial kneeling objects and those divine spirit projections approached the black mist……all the doors in the long corridor passage suddenly trembled.

Then……they all roared with incomparable ferocity!

The booming sounds, shook heaven and earth.

This was……the sound of knocking on doors!

All the doors were trembling, as if unknown existences behind them had sensed everything of the outside world at this moment, and all went mad, using all their strength to bang on the doors.

To……break out!

That intense sound carried a terrifying oppressive feeling, and faintly accompanied by waves of soul-shaking low growls.

All this caused the strange objects and divine spirit projections that had surged in to tremble in their bodies, then each showed expressions of unprecedented terror, and hastily retreated, wanting to leave.

But it was too late……

Although those doors were extremely sturdy, it seemed no matter how the existences inside roared or hammered, it was of no use.

But……not all!

Under this intense bombardment, at the moment when those strange objects and divine spirit projections were about to retreat, a wooden door located deepest, extremely close to the seat, suddenly emitted a tremendous sound surpassing all others.

Bang!!

Under this tremendous sound, the roars from inside the other doors actually all paused.

Then……that wooden door deep within, under all the previous sounds, suddenly……opened a crack!

At the instant this crack appeared, strands of black hair exuding a sense of decay flew out instantly from within, accompanied by overwhelming greed and savagery, wildly spreading outward.

As if starving for countless ages, the moment they extended, those black hairs rushed straight toward all the strange objects and divine spirit projections.

No matter how they struggled or blocked, it was of no use.

The black hairs instantly went, directly binding all the strange objects and divine spirit projections, then suddenly yanking……

All, pulled back!

And at extreme speed, following the door crack, pulled inside into the door!

The next instant, the wooden door that had opened the crack, suddenly slammed shut.

The black mist also instantly recoiled, returning to the corridor, submerging everything.

And the primordial sacrifice, at this moment, reversed!

By sacrificing itself, to nourish Xu Qing.

The next moment……Xu Qing's soul healed, the separated five viscera, bones, flesh and skin, all returned.

Finally, as the altar dispersed, Xu Qing, standing there with a pale complexion, slowly raised his head, gazing at Prince Ziqing in the Upper Wasteland's gaze.

Not a word spoken.

Prince Ziqing also remained silent.

In this silence, only waves of chewing sounds that made one's scalp tingle, as if lingering in the void, faintly visible.

After a while, Prince Ziqing's eyes flashed with strange light.

"You actually walked this far."

"Younger brother, I have waited for this day for a very long time……"

"And now, you possess the ability……and should know, the god of the Upper Wasteland, controls fate supreme."

"But do you know, the god of the Upper Wasteland, His left eye sees the future, His right eye sees the past."

"And now, in the sky, the Upper Wasteland has only the left eye remaining."

"His right eye……is here."

Prince Ziqing pointed downward.

With this finger, the ground beneath his feet boomed and tore open directly.

At the same time, the entire Swallow-Heaven Great Realm also churned.

And not only this realm, but several nearby great realms also trembled accordingly.

The next moment, together with the Swallow-Heaven Great Realm, all mountain ranges within those realms collapsed with a roar, as if an earth dragon had turned over, appearing a huge fissure!

This fissure, in an instant, pierced through several realms, its length terrifyingly immense!

Turning into a shocking great canyon!

Like the scar of Eastern Wanggu!

Its center point, was precisely the palace of Prince Ziqing's Upper State!

Subsequently, this great canyon violently flung open outward!

Golden light, instantly burst from within outward, surging heavenward!

At this moment, if one were to stand at the highest point and look toward this place in the Swallow-Heaven Great Realm, one could clearly see……

This great canyon piercing several great realms, was actually an opened giant eye!

This eye, was exactly the same as the eye on the remnant face of the azure heavens!

This is……the right eye of the Upper Wasteland!

It was buried deep in the earth, and at this instant, opened!

And its core pupil position, was precisely where Prince Ziqing now stands.

At this moment, Prince Ziqing, located within the gaze, above has the Upper Wasteland's left eye, below has the Upper Wasteland's right eye.

Both eyes, all of them, opened wide, centered on Him!

At the moment the gazes converged, Prince Ziqing raised his right hand.

In his hand, he held an object.

It was an ancient skull.

It was... His skull from back then!

When the Empress attained godhood, He took it away.

Now, He holds the skull, raising it high.

Amidst the intertwining gazes of the Upper Wasteland, this skull emanated the meaning of endless ages, influencing heaven and earth; it could be seen that with Prince Ziqing as the center, all surroundings began to shift through time, countless figures flowing from death to life in succession.

The power of this skull, astonishingly, melted the void, melted time and space, melted everything.

Including Prince Ziqing himself.

Only the sound echoed back.

"Time and space reversed, return to antiquity."

"Younger brother, I await you in antiquity for this final battle!"
