Chapter 463: What Did I See
The future exists in imagination, while the past exists in memory.
Then, when all traces of a person in this world are erased, when all relatives and friends choose to forget, and when they have never appeared in anyone's life.
It is as if it remains blank.
At this time, did they really exist?
Perhaps, they still exist, but no one knows, no one remembers, and everyone has forgotten.
But perhaps, as it remains blank, they really dissipate into the void, with no name, no past, no future, and nothing at all.
This is another ability of a God Spirit, the ability towards the past.
Forgetting.
At this moment, as Chu Tianqun consumed his origin power again to deploy it, this ancient great world fragment of the Yanmiao Clan seemed to have all its operations stopped, turning into stillness.
Also frozen were Chu Tianqun's physical body, and the Ghost Emperor Mountain shadow falling above his head.
The entire world was quiet, all solidified, only Chu Tianqun's divine soul, shrouded in divine light, flew out from between his brows, becoming the only existence in the world that could move.
He raised his head, looked at the surroundings, and his expression revealed awe.
"This... is remaining blank."
Chu Tianqun murmured. This was also the first time in his life he had deployed such an extreme divine art. In his eyes, this heaven and earth were different from reality.
The firmament did not exist, and the earth did not exist. Everything around almost did not exist, and the Ghost Emperor Mountain was also like this, all were void.
It was as if everything he had seen with his physical body before was false.
Only a mass of mist floated in the void. That was... the place where Xu Qing had been before.
Looking at the mist, Chu Tianqun knew that that was the place he was going to. He only needed to close the memory doors of everyone who remembered Xu Qing within that piece of mist, and this divine art of remaining blank could succeed.
Without hesitation, Chu Tianqun's divine soul swayed, rushed directly into the mist, and went deep into the mist.
In this endless fog, countless doors appeared in front of Chu Tianqun. These doors were large and small, round and square, with different appearances. Some were brand new, some were ancient, and the materials were also different.
They were densely packed, forming a passage.
"It's here!" Chu Tianqun's hands lifted and waved suddenly. Immediately, the divine light on his divine soul erupted, forming strands of seals, flying rapidly towards the doors in front of him.
Soon, numerous doors dimmed and became blurry under this seal. Even if some doors were unwilling to be sealed and flew rapidly from blurry to clear again, in the end, under the God Spirit power, they still had to dim.
Every door represented a life's memory of Xu Qing.
Amidst this continuous blurriness, Chu Tianqun's divine soul was fast, rushing out continuously along the passage, divine light scattering even more, and the doors all around were sealed one after another.
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Chu Tianqun revealed excitement in his eyes.
But just at this moment, among these numerous doors, there was a round door. Following Chu Tianqun's divine light seal, it didn't blur at all, but instead, after being touched by the divine light, it opened silently.
A blood-colored eye suddenly appeared behind the door, staring fixedly at Chu Tianqun.
At one glance, the entire passage twisted, and a strand of God Spirit power erupted instantly. Chu Tianqun's divine soul emitted a miserable scream. At the critical moment of crisis, his divine soul's right hand exploded directly, forming brilliant divine light to block, and then flew out of this range rapidly.
After reaching a safe place, lingering heart-palpitation remained in his eyes.
He knew that that eye... was a God Spirit.
This was actually also the reason why he didn't deploy this remaining blank divine art until the final moment.
The scope of this art was very large. Some people might easily choose to forget, but some people were unwilling to forget. The latter... would become Chu Tianqun's obstacle.
At the same time, it was also easy to attract the attention of the outside world, making this trap-killing situation exist with huge waves.
In addition, it was possible to attract earth-shattering disasters. After all, his understanding of Xu Qing was not subtle. If he encountered any terrifying existence in this, it would cause a violent backlash to Chu Tianqun.
He could only hope that by relying on his own God Spirit origin, even if there were terrifying existences among those who remembered Xu Qing, he was not unable to influence them for a short time through God Spirit power.
What he needed was not eternal forgetting; he only needed no one to remember Xu Qing at this instant when the world was still.
At this instant, he could truly kill Xu Qing here.
"Xu Qing possesses divine arts after all, so it is understandable that the memory doors have God Spirits. Fortunately, my divine light... can help me offset it."
"And I don't need to seal all the doors. As long as the failed ones don't exceed ten, by the moment my divine art is completed, I can also make them severely injured."
Chu Tianqun's expression revealed determination. He swayed and continued to rush out, scattering divine light again to seal the surrounding doors. And this time, he had only sealed less than thirty doors when suddenly... another door opened with a bang.
The sound of chewing transmitted from within suddenly.
This sound was like a dream demon. Those who heard it couldn't help but go crazy, as if their own bodies were being swallowed. Chu Tianqun screamed there, instantly exploded one of his legs, turned into divine light to block, and rushed out.
"It's fine, he has two God Authority powers, so it's normal to have two God Spirit memory doors!"
Chu Tianqun's body trembled somewhat, but in the end, he still rushed out, but... after fifty doors, a blood-colored door opened with a bang.
Endless red erupted from within this door.
"How come there are still!!"
Chu Tianqun was horrified, the other leg also exploded, and huge waves surged in his heart and mind. Just as he was hesitating whether to continue moving forward, in an instant, a rift appeared above him, also opening directly like a door.
The moment the sound of breathing came from the crack, Chu Tianqun's soul emitted a roar. His eyes widened, and he saw an unimaginably huge humanoid body existing within the crack. The pressure emitted from its body made him scream again, and he had to explode his last arm to block it.
"Heaven... Heavenly Dao!"
At this moment, Chu Tianqun's divine soul only had half a body left, and he had no limbs. He looked at this passage in horror, and now he had only walked less than one-tenth of the way.
Behind him, there was endlessness.
He couldn't see clearly, only vaguely seeing that in the deepest part, it seemed that a huge chair existed there.
"How can there be a chair!"
Chu Tianqun trembled, he didn't dare to continue moving forward.
"This Xu Qing is not right. He has a problem!!"
Just as huge waves surged in Chu Tianqun's heart and mind, a door in front of him opened on its own, and a bloody large hand, carrying blurriness and twisting, reached out from within.
Chu Tianqun screamed and continued to explode his body to avoid it, which made him completely horrified. The scene that caused a huge storm in his heart and mind appeared.
Bang bang sounds at this moment, from countless doors in front of him, transmitted—that was... the sound of bombarding the doors from within the doors!
As if the terrifying existences behind those doors, one after another, smelled the sweetness, went crazy one after another, and wanted to break through the doors and appear.
"This... this..."
Chu Tianqun's divine soul shivered, and he turned around suddenly, intending to flee.
But it was one step too late. Countless doors... with a bang, opened simultaneously.
A miserable scream transmitted from Chu Tianqun's divine soul, and it exploded instantly!
The next instant, Chu Tianqun returned to reality. As the miserable scream transmitted from his mouth, his half-body collapsed directly. Even divine light couldn't block it, and in an instant, only a head remained, falling to the ground.
His expression carried horror, carried shock, carried disbelief, and he was still collapsing amidst this scream.
And the previous stillness power also recovered as he returned.
Xu Qing's body in mid-air shook, and he also recovered. His expression turned gloomy instantly. He didn't know what had happened. At this moment, looking at Chu Tianqun, who only had a head left amidst the scream, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. He controlled the Ghost Emperor Mountain to accelerate the suppression towards Chu Tianqun. Amidst the rumbling, following the descent of the Ghost Emperor Mountain, Chu Tianqun laughed miserably.
He knew he had lost. He had lost the ability to resurrect infinitely, lost his vitality, lost everything. Under the backlash, the doors that the remaining blank divine art had sealed before all recovered, and he hadn't shaken them at all.
"Unable to resist, unable to defeat..." Chu Tianqun's vision was already blurry. Amidst this miserable laugh, he suddenly spoke loudly.
"Xu Qing, do you know, actually I... am just a container. She is about to appear, you will die too."
Xu Qing's eyes contracted. Just as the Ghost Emperor Mountain rumbled and was about to fall, at this moment, the center of Chu Tianqun's withered head suddenly tore open, and a translucent hand that didn't belong to him slowly reached out.
This hand was snow-white, without any hair, as if crafted from white jade, full of holiness, and also full of weirdness. These two perceptions blended together, making heaven and earth change color and the world tremble.
It waved three times gently towards Xu Qing, raising three strands of wind.
"Divine Art, Present Life, Wish!"
A calm and strange voice, carrying supreme majesty, echoed from between Chu Tianqun's brows. After these three waves, this hand turned into flying ash and dissipated.
Chu Tianqun's head tilted directly, on the verge of death.
And those three waves, at this moment, erupted with indescribable world-ending power!
The first strand of wind touched Xu Qing's Ghost Emperor Mountain silently.
The Ghost Emperor Mountain rumbled. The consumption of the manifestation was incredibly intense at this instant. It was just a breath of time before the Transformation Demon Rune power dissipated completely, disappearing into blurriness, revealing Xu Qing sitting cross-legged inside.
The second strand of wind blew towards his face.
Xu Qing's body shook, the Poison Prohibition and Purple Moon in his body slowed down instantly, and his body lost its blood color amidst the permeation of this breath, becoming black and white.
Not only was he like this, but the entire range around him also lost its color at this instant, leaving only black and white.
As if it had become a painting.
Even Xu Qing's body also integrated into the painting at this moment, becoming... a person in the painting.
An intense life-and-death crisis erupted rumbly in Xu Qing's heart and mind, and the heart-palpitating feeling made him clearly feel the arrival of death.
And his body, after becoming a person in the painting, also withered rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the whole person became skin and bones, and his vitality began to extinguish.
At this moment, the Ghost Emperor Mountain couldn't be formed, the Poison Prohibition and Purple Moon were delayed, and his Life Lamp and everything else all became part of this painting. Only the Heavenly Dao Cang Dragon was anxious in the firmament, barely turning into a blade and falling.
But it was still young after all, and its strength was insufficient, so it screamed and retreated.
And that third strand of wind also landed directly on the painting formed by Xu Qing, landing on his body.
As if pouring water on a painting, it gradually blurred, turning into ink, slowly blurring.
Xu Qing's body was stiff, his mind became slow at this moment. As he lowered his head with difficulty, he saw his body becoming ink amidst the touch and expansion of that third strand of wind, melting away.
The life-substitution jade slip given by his master back then collapsed and shattered, but it still couldn't stop his body from becoming ink, and the feeling of death shrouded Xu Qing's heart and mind.
Xu Qing was silent.
All his means had been exhausted. This battle didn't look miserable, but in reality, the power of divine arts was fully displayed, and life and death were often incredibly fragile under such levels of divine abilities.
In fact, being able to circle until now and make the other party perish together already showed Xu Qing's foundation.
"Am I going to die."
Xu Qing murmured in his heart, his consciousness gradually blurring, but just as his body in the painting blurred for the most part and dissipated rapidly, suddenly, on his right wrist, in this black and white painting, a golden light radiated suddenly.
This golden light, continuously flashing, became increasingly intense.
It originally wouldn't be so brilliant, but was hidden extremely deep. But now, in this painting that only had black and white, its color was clearly highlighted, becoming the third color.
Following its appearance, the entire painting trembled, and this golden light spread rapidly from Xu Qing's right wrist, covering his whole body in the blink of an eye, helping him bear the third strand of wind waved by the dissipating hand at this most critical moment of crisis.
With a bang, the golden light dimmed, and the painting where Xu Qing was located shattered at this moment. His thin figure staggered and fell, returning from the painting, spitting out blood.
And the dimmed golden light also dissipated from his body at this instant, returning to his right wrist.
The color was dim to the extreme, as if it could dissipate at any time, and even looking closely, one could see countless cracks densely packed on the golden thread.
Xu Qing's breathing was rapid. Even though his injuries were severe and he was extremely weak now, he still lowered his head and looked at his right wrist, huge waves surging in his heart and mind, and his expression carried thick confusion and puzzlement.
Until half a day later, his expression carried coldness, and he stared at Chu Tianqun.
At this moment
"Are you not dead yet..."
Xu Qing stepped forward, walking toward Chu Tianqun step by step until he reached his head. He could feel that the other party had lost the ability to resurrect infinitely. Coldness rose in his tired eyes, he raised his foot, and stepped down!
Finished, going to sleep. I wrote very slowly today. Good night, seeking votes.
