Chapter 470: Linger, Don't Be Afraid, I'll Take You Home

~11 min read 2,019 words

Under the dim sky, on the flesh and blood mountain permeated with divine might, Xu Qing's figure stood on the mountain peak, gazing at the sky.

The moment his gaze fell on Linger's soul body, the little white snake in his sea of consciousness also opened its eyes, having sensed something, and emitted a sound.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

Following the summons of the soul sound of the same origin, Linger's soul in mid-air trembled, wanting to raise her head to perceive.

But the eighteen cyan mist dragon snakes circling around suddenly wandered, emitting thick destiny, forming an imprisonment force that blocked Linger's perception.

The moment this destiny burst forth, the little white snake in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness instinctively emitted a trace of longing.

These dragon snakes were transformed from the destiny of the Ancient Xiang Linger Clan.

Their appearance was clear, and their scales also emitted cyan luster, lifelike.

Even though cursed by the Heavenly Dao, the Ancient Xiang Linger Clan was a clan of destiny that gathered the destiny of the Wanggu Continent in legend, so even today, they still had their own heavenly destiny.

Xu Qing's eyes revealed sharpness. Since Linger's soul could not be summoned back, he simply rushed up from the flesh and blood mountain, heading straight for Linger's soul.

Those dragon snakes transformed from cyan destiny immediately emitted threatening roars.

It was as if as long as the Ancient Emperor gave an order, they could instantly swallow Xu Qing.

Xu Qing remained unmoved, his speed flying fast, approaching Linger's soul. The purple moon power spread along with it, and those destiny dragon snakes moved restlessly, but they had to retreat.

Following their retreat, the imprisonment force dissipated somewhat.

Linger's soul body no longer trembled, and when the perception of her origin became strong, Xu Qing's figure appeared before Linger's soul body.

He did not have any hesitation. He raised his left hand and immediately took Linger's soul.

The instant they touched, the black light outside Linger's soul dissipated, and the little white snake in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness, under the attraction of the same origin, appeared directly outside Xu Qing's body and flew into Linger's brow.

Linger's body shook, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her head. The first thing she saw was Xu Qing's figure.

"Xu Qing brother... is this a dream..."

Linger's face carried confusion. After whispering softly, her soul body emitted waves of weakness. Clearly, having been away from her physical body for too long, she could not hold on.

"Linger, don't be afraid, I'll take you home."

Looking at the weak Linger, Xu Qing spoke softly, waved his hand to shroud her in his embrace, retreated rapidly, and even more, crushed the jade slip given by Ban Quanlu.

The moment the jade slip shattered, outside the Ancient Xiang Linger Emperor's Great World, in the Wood Xiang Linger Clan of Fenghai County, the old man who had been waiting anxiously for several days at the edge of the altar above the Xiang Linger Abyss shook abruptly.

His haggard face, all the wrinkles trembling, seemed to have a power called hope rising from every part of his body. His bloodshot eyes also suddenly revealed unprecedented bright light.

He did not hesitate at all, rapidly forming hand seals; his body trembled, his heartbeat accelerated, and his blood flowed rapidly at this moment, stimulating the power of the seal within his bloodline.

Even more, streaks of spiritual energy unique to the Wood Xiang Linger Clan spread from the altar, from the roots of the big trees in the basin, and gathered toward the old man rapidly.

Ban Quanlu shook all over, his eyes blood-red, the blood vessels throughout his body bulging instantly, his head splitting with a boom, countless tentacles dancing, all breaking off on their own!

Large swaths of blood sprayed out from the tentacles, gathering in front of Ban Quanlu, forming a blood mass three zhang in size that kept squirming.

"Open!!"

Amidst the boom, the blood mass rotated rapidly, locking onto the guidance of the jade slip, and tore out a small, narrow crack!

Connecting to the place where the jade slip was located!

Infinite death aura immediately spread from the crack, filling all directions. At the same time, through this crack, Ban Quanlu excitedly saw Linger, who was being cared for in Xu Qing's embrace!

And this crack was extremely unstable, and it was difficult to maintain for long after appearing. At this moment, it was about to close just after forming.

It was also at this time that in the place where Xu Qing was within the crack, the sky in front of him trembled abruptly, and the Ancient Xiang Linger Emperor's eye seemed about to open.

On the flesh and blood mountain of the Great World, Xu Qing's expression changed. He felt divine might even more terrifying and astonishing than before erupting around him at this moment.

Heaven and earth blurred, all things twisted, and the tearing power from the Ancient Xiang Linger Emperor, following the slow opening of the eye, descended upon the world, and a wave of awakening roared across the earth.

All evil souls and corpses knelt down.

And Xu Qing here, intense pain came as never before. Relying on the purple moon power, he barely resisted.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. Xu Qing's body trembled, and without half a moment's hesitation, he retreated rapidly, approaching the crack opened by Ban Quanlu behind him.

The instability of this crack was incomparably intense at this instant, and it was vanishing rapidly. From within, Ban Quanlu's incomparably anxious roar came.

"Linger!!"

Xu Qing did not think, and with a wave, he sent the unconscious Linger's soul directly into the crack.

Subsequently, he stood before the crack, stood before Linger, and used his own body to block the heaven-shaking divine might emitted by the Xiang Linger Emperor's eye that was currently gradually opening in the sky.

With a boom, the tearing intent on Xu Qing's body became even more intense. As his injuries erupted, blood permeated and spilled along his Daoist robe, but his blocking played a key role.

Behind him, in the crack, Ban Quanlu's hand grabbed Linger's soul. He seemed to want to save Xu Qing too, but it was too late, and he could only withdraw. Almost the moment he returned, this crack could no longer be maintained and collapsed, dissipating.

Xu Qing smiled.

On his pale face, after arriving in this Great World permeated with death, he revealed a smile for the first time.

He knew very well that this crack was too small, and he could not pass through it himself, but it didn't matter; he had succeeded.

He had successfully found Linger's soul and sent it out safe and sound.

And at this moment, the crack in the sky opened completely!

A huge, dim yellow vertical pupil appeared in the sky, like the eye of heaven, gazing at Xu Qing.

At this instant, the boundless corpses and wailing souls in all directions all lowered their heads and emitted fanatical low roars.

"Emperor!"

The sound was so loud it was deafening, spreading throughout the sky.

Not only them, but the dragon heads in the sky mist, the giant snakes rising and falling on the earth, and the terrifying figures in the River Styx, as well as the countless war chariots and evil soldiers in the distance, all emitted low sounds the moment this eye opened.

"Emperor!!"

In the sky, that huge eye revealed indifference. Around its dim yellow pupil, black flames burned.

A divine might comparable to a god shrouded the Great World.

The injuries on Xu Qing's body erupted uncontrollably.

It seemed the Ancient Xiang Linger Emperor's ability could cause all injuries to be magnified several times in an instant. This was actually the origin of tearing.

Facing her, the heavier one's own injuries, the greater the reaction. And under the effect of this strange power, even light injuries would become severe in the blink of an eye.

And because the tearing was continuous, it was equivalent to continuously expanding layer by layer.

One could imagine that relying on this ability, those who fought against the Ancient Xiang Linger Emperor in their prime must have been extremely difficult, unable to have even the slightest injury. As long as there was a little bit of injury, it would be instantly added to the extreme.

And Xu Qing's body, at this moment, also continuously shattered under this tearing. Pieces of flesh and blood fell off, only to be forcibly pieced together by the purple moon power.

The intense pain transmitted by this process was like a huge wave, especially the feeling of his own flesh and blood being squeezed into the wound, turning into heart-piercing tremors. But his raised right hand did not loosen in the slightest, gripping even tighter.

He raised his head with difficulty, looking at the Ancient Xiang Linger Emperor!

In an instant, endless information rushed directly into Xu Qing's mind, continuously filling, continuously exploding, continuously churning.

This information was messy, contained cruelty, contained madness, causing Xu Qing's head shattering to intensify, his head bulging as if about to explode.

Even more terrifying will swept across Xu Qing's mind, shaking his sea of consciousness, as if wanting to crush his soul, while the poison prohibition power also rose to resist at this moment.

The Canglong even emitted a roar, rising from the Sixth Tiangong, also blocking.

Following the appearance of the Canglong, this incomparably powerful will paused slightly. Clearly, it recognized the Heavenly Dao on the Canglong.

Divine sense like heavenly thunder echoed indifferently in Xu Qing's heart.

"The Red Mother Divine Source in your hand must have been plundered."

The bloodshot veins in Xu Qing's eyes now became cracks, and blood flowed along the corners of his eyes. He looked at the blurry giant eye above, his voice hoarse.

"So what?"

During his words, the purple moon light on Xu Qing's right hand erupted again. The Fourth Tiangong within his body vibrated violently, and the purple moon in the sky also shone with moonlight, its edge position... beginning to turn red at this moment.

This red was spreading.

It was as if behind the purple moon, there was an incomparably rich blood color, shrouding down from outside the world.

"Either let me go, or die together!" Xu Qing spoke word by word with difficulty.

The countless information passively obtained from looking at the giant eye, although making his head about to explode and causing a strong feeling of madness, allowed him to perceive some things from this information.

Gods could devour each other.

Once the Red Moon descended, with the Ancient Xiang Linger Emperor's current state, it would indeed become food.

This realization made Xu Qing firm in his belief that his threat must be effective.

And at this moment, he could no longer hold on. The intense pain in his body and the countless messy information in his mind made him dizzy. If not for the fact that the purple moon power had risen to an unprecedented height at this moment because it had become a signal and was being guided by the netherworld, he would have long since been destroyed in body and soul.

But after the words were transmitted, the giant eye's gaze remained intense. Xu Qing hardened his heart and spoke in a low voice.

"Red Moon, Red Moon..."

Following Xu Qing's call, the sky changed color. Large swaths of red spots formed directly in the sky, more and more, and even began to spread between each other, wanting to connect together.

This was Xu Qing actively summoning the Red Moon!

Actively calling with his own authority, compared to the previous passive attraction, was a completely different level, with a huge gap.

The sky, bright red.

The giant eye shrank instantly. It seemed there was the sound of rapid breathing echoing in heaven and earth, and even more shock and anger erupted, finally turning into a roar containing suppressed emotions, echoing out.
