Chapter 553: Revive, My Third Sister (Thank you all for the names)
Within this fragment world, at this moment, there was no longer a firmament.
The original sky ice layer had now collapsed for the most part, and huge cracks filled the surroundings, tearing the sky apart.
In the very center was a huge hole, piercing through the inside and outside, leading straight to the outside world.
And the earth ice layer was the same. The endless earth looked uneven under this shattering, and the entire ice layer was propped up by the bronze coffin rushing out from below, shocking to the eye.
This bronze coffin was huge, even a circle larger than the coffin Xu Qing had seen beneath the Heavenly Fire Sea.
Now, most of it was exposed, looking from afar, full of majestic power.
Bursts of ancient auras from the passage of time spread toward this world, invading everything, as if wanting to release all the time it had been buried at this moment.
It had been buried here for too long, too long. One could see the rust on the coffin's surface, revealing vicissitudes.
And the impact force of the Sovereign's Nail that had whistled over before was clearly huge, filled with violence. At this moment, although it only sank halfway into the coffin lid, there were still cracks forming from where it was nailed, connecting to the edges.
Densely packed, and there were also many places rising and falling. The entire coffin lid was only a hair's breadth away from shattering into pieces.
This scene made Xu Qing in the firmament and the Captain and the others in the distance look at each other, then instinctively rise into the air again.
At the same time, the figure transformed from the blue mist drifting from the Sovereign's Nail also had its voice echoing.
"Third Sister, after I broke free, I sensed the same origin. In the entire homeland, only you and I still possess conscious fluctuations... The other brothers and sisters have all lost consciousness."
"Their souls are no longer complete, taken by our fourth brother, Li Pan..."
"So, I came here, opened your seal, Third Sister... Wake up."
The voice of the figure transformed from the blue mist carried deep sadness. At this moment, as it spread through this world, the bronze coffin standing there shook violently.
With the shaking, the shattering of the coffin lid became greater, and bursts of terrifying auras spread through the cracks, causing this small world to tremble. A withered hand suddenly broke through the coffin lid from within the coffin and reached out.
Roaring echoed, and a large number of coffin lid fragments scattered outward. That hand was completely revealed.
Judging from the appearance of the hand, it could no longer be identified as a woman's hand. The skin on it was gone, leaving only withered flesh, which was very ugly.
All the nails were lost, and bursts of deathly auras kept rising within.
The figure transformed from the blue mist looked at this hand, and the sadness deepened.
This was his Third Sister, the apple of his father's eye, and also the one among their brothers and sisters who could match the ninth brother in talent.
Her cultivation was even more astonishing. She had once led the army on behalf of her father to conquer all directions, with great military achievements.
Not only that, her beauty back then had amazed ten thousand clans. Countless noble sons admired her, and the Ancient Emperor personally conferred upon her the title of Princess Mingmei.
It was said back then: Clouds and mists show beauty, far from being stained by dust.
But with the arrival of the Crimson Mother, everything changed. That peerless Princess Mingmei, following her father's fall, was sealed in the coffin.
His own fourth brother, who was worse than a beast, in order to torture her, channeled the blood and energy of the Third Sister and sent it to the coffin, forcing her, who was in a state of hunger, to let go of her dignity and bottom line as a human. In order to take revenge, she could only absorb it.
Neither human nor ghost, neither alive nor dead.
The Sovereign Crown Prince's sadness rose, looking at the coffin.
It was pitch black there, unclear to see. He could only see the hand that reached out slowly raise, as if placing it in front of her.
The entire coffin shook violently. After a long while, it became calm, and a hoarse woman's voice came from within the coffin.
"Crown Prince..."
This familiar voice made the Sovereign Crown Prince think of the beautiful times they once had.
And after the voice, the figure in the coffin slowly walked out, walked into the world, and entered Xu Qing's eyes.
It was a tall figure wearing decaying armor. The whole body had withered, and the armor seemed to hang on it, revealing many empty spaces.
The wind blew at this moment, passing through the gaps in the armor, emitting a whimper, and the body exposed outside was shocking to the eye.
There were scars all over it, and countless maggots were squirming and tearing inside. At the same time, her body had no skin, as if it had been peeled off alive.
All of this made her look incomparably ugly, and it was difficult to distinguish gender from physical characteristics.
As for her face, it was sunken, and where her eyes should have been, there were only two holes, radiating ghost fire, as if she had returned from the underworld.
This appearance made it impossible for people to imagine what kind of torture and pain she had experienced.
However, the terrifying fluctuation radiating from her body kept rising as she walked out, causing this fragment world to tremble and even affecting the outside world.
The entire Northern Ice Plain changed color, wind and clouds surged, and a huge whirlpool appeared in the sky outside with a rumbling sound.
This whirlpool spun rapidly, causing the entire north to appear distorted and blurred.
Like a god descending.
As the living beings trembled, a vast red light shone in the distant sky.
That was the fluctuation from the Red Moon Divine Temple. With such a huge upheaval here, it was impossible for the Red Moon Divine Temple not to know.
And what arrived now was not a Divine Envoy, but a vast palm print.
The fingerprints on this palm print were like gullies, clearly visible, radiating dazzling red light, like blood light, spreading in all directions.
It approached from the horizon, getting larger and larger, until finally it covered the sky and earth, as if a god had dropped a palm from the infinite above, shrouding the Northern Ice Plain and pressing down toward the place where the Great World fragment was located.
It seemed to want to suppress this place along with the entire Northern Ice Plain again.
The void shattered, the ice plain trembled, flying snow rolled backward, and the living beings lost their minds.
And within that Great World fragment, whether it was the blue figure or the Sovereign's daughter who walked out of the coffin, neither looked up to pay attention in the slightest.
They gazed at each other.
At their level, many things, many thoughts, were clear to each other just by looking at each other.
At this moment, this Sovereign's daughter already knew the Crown Prince's purpose.
"Are you sure?" The hoarse voice, like two iron plates rubbing together, was harsh, echoing out.
"Third Sister, the Crimson Mother is sleeping. This opportunity is very rare. I want to go see our fourth brother and settle the grievances of these years."
"As for the result, I no longer want to think about it. Rather than living like this, I am willing to fight."
The blue figure spoke softly.
The woman who walked out of the coffin did not speak. She just raised her hand and waved. Immediately, the Sovereign's Nail that had been floating to the side after the coffin lid shattered shook violently and disappeared in an instant.
When it appeared again, it was no longer in the world fragment, but in the outside world, in the firmament of the ice plain, rushing violently toward the huge blood-colored palm print that was whistling over.
It radiated the power to shatter the void, destroying everything, and even more violence exploded within, heading straight for the palm print.
Piercing in an instant.
A heaven-shaking loud sound that spread through the Northern Ice Plain, at this moment, was like thunder opening heaven and earth.
The originally huge palm print carrying extreme pressure paused in mid-air. Where it touched the nail, blue and red light radiated, intertwining and suppressing each other.
Until the blue light sharpened into a beam, piercing through the red light, breaking the barrier, and stabbing into the palm, cracks spread rapidly toward the surroundings.
Splitting as it cracked, collapsing as it split.
In the blink of an eye, this palm print shattered in the sky, collapsing into dozens of pieces, each collapsing further, with countless blood lights accompanied by more fragments falling toward the Northern Ice Plain earth.
Falling with a roar, looking from afar like blood-colored meteors, and the earth at this moment also shattered, forming blood-colored meteorite pits.
Dyeing the surroundings a bright red.
And that blue nail did not stop, heading straight for the sky, not knowing where it was going.
The woman in the world fragment raised her head.
"He already knows that you and I have broken free. This palm print contains an invitation."
"Then, let's go. Let's see how much progress my own younger brother, born of the same father and mother, has made after attaching himself to the Crimson Mother."
The hoarse voice echoed, and the Sovereign's daughter stepped forward, walking into mid-air.
The blue figure drifted over, floating by her side. His gaze fell on Xu Qing, who was retreating continuously at the edge of the firmament in the distance. As for the Captain and Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu, he didn't pay any attention to them at all.
"Little friend, thank you for your help."
After speaking, he nodded to his Third Sister by his side, and the Sovereign's daughter also looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's footsteps paused. In the distance, he bowed toward the two of them.
On the Sovereign's daughter's ugly, skeleton-like face, there was no expression. She just raised her withered hand and pressed it toward the earth.
Immediately, this world fragment roared, the earth shook, and the remaining ice layers were completely shattered, rolling into the sky, turning into black snow. It seemed that from now on, black snow would fall here eternally.
Even more at this moment, the entire fragment world emitted a creaking sound, as if the Sovereign's daughter's hand had grasped this fragment in her palm in an invisible way.
At this moment, with a squeeze, this world fragment began to shrink.
In the blink of an eye, the entire world turned into a fragment the size of a palm, radiating black light, like an irregular black glaze, heading straight for Xu Qing.
As it approached, flames rose on it, continuously burning and refining. When it landed in front of Xu Qing, it had already become like crystal, crystal clear.
Vast auras filled it, like stars in the sky, dazzling. What was even more rare was that under this refining, it was already ownerless.
Its value was indescribable!
Huge waves stirred in Xu Qing's heart. Even though he had some preparation before, he was still incomparably excited in his heart at this moment. He immediately took it, put it away, and bowed respectfully toward the Sovereign's daughter and the Crown Prince's figure.
The Captain in the distance had rapid breathing, intense desire revealed in his eyes. Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu were also shocked in their hearts. The latter was okay, but Xiang Ningyan clearly understood the value and significance of a Great World fragment.
"This, this, this, it was just given away like this?"
As Xiang Ningyan's heart was churning, the Sovereign's daughter swayed, directly disappearing from where she was, appearing in the outside world. And that Sovereign Crown Prince nodded slightly toward Xu Qing, his eyes carrying the intent of eternal farewell, and also disappeared.
In the firmament, in the blood rain, the two figures stood.
"A filthy clan, no need to exist in the world." The Sovereign's daughter lowered her head, looked at the terrified Ghost Clan mountain gate on the earth, and struck with her fist from a distance.
A huge fist shadow appeared directly above the Ghost Clan and fell rapidly.
Mountains and rivers exploded, the ground collapsed, and everything within, all buildings, all existence, became meat paste, merging with the ice and snow, turning into a blood-colored fist print.
After finishing this, the two of them transformed into two long rainbows, carrying an indomitable momentum, carrying the intent to destroy everything, carrying the accumulated resentment of countless years, heading straight for the Repentance Plain.
That was where their father's corpse was located, and also where the Red Moon Divine Temple headquarters was located.
At the same time, on the Heavenly Fire Sea, the firmament twisted. A blue light pierced through the void, shattered the firelight, split the sky, and shone above the universe.
Looking closely, it was a nail ten thousand zhang long!
It came from the horizon, its target clear, locking onto the destination beneath the Heavenly Fire Sea, then stirring up a sharp whistle, causing the fire sea to churn, rushing into the sea, heading straight for... the bronze coffin.
The next instant, the fire sea erupted, countless magma rolled up, and thousand-zhang fire waves roared.
The nail that sank into the fire sea blasted directly onto the bronze coffin in the depths!
The Red Moon Restriction dimmed, the coffin shook violently, and in an instant, a sound that reached the clouds echoed, completely shattering!
Countless fragments shot out beneath the fire sea, stirring up one huge whirlpool after another. Looking from afar, countless sparks bloomed in this area.
A majestic body, just as astonishing as the Sovereign's daughter's, was revealed from the shattered coffin.
This body was thin, and blue meridians filled the body, like raised mountain ranges, radiating a ferocious intent.
A tattered brown robe was draped over his body, stained with mottled blood, which had rendered the original orange-yellow color into its current color over these endless years.
His face was withered, but it could not hide his heroic spirit. His blue eyes were like gemstones, radiating a soul-capturing power. The Sovereign's bloodline kept fluctuating on his body.
What was even more eye-catching on him was his hair. This was a head of gray long hair, draped around his body, spreading in all directions, the ends curving upward.
Every strand of hair transformed into a wisp of a dead soul, roaring toward the sky.
This was the Sovereign Crown Prince's true body!
He slowly raised his head and walked forward.
One step, stepping out of the Heavenly Fire Sea.
He stood in the firmament, long hair flying, covering the heavens and earth, like boundless dark clouds.
"I was born during the prosperous age of the Profound Dark Ancient Emperor, sealed after the descent of the False Gods, and today I reappear in the sorrowful world of Wanggu. In this life... I have enjoyed all glory and wealth, obtained the talent that ten thousand clans crave, enough, enough."
The murmuring sound was like thunder, the heavens and earth changed color, wind and clouds surged, the fire sea churned, and the surroundings shook.
"Now there are only two obsessions that are hard to disperse. The first is to destroy the moon and resolve the curse of the people, the second is to behead the rebellious brother's body and soul to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
"If I don't behead Li Pan, I fail my father, fail the people of the domain, and fail this life!"
The Crown Prince gazed at the Repentance Plain, his eyes cold and sharp, as if there were an underworld abyss within. He took a step forward, breaking through the void.
The universe rolled, layers exploded, shattering the void and leaving.
The Heavenly Fire was hard to calm, the firmament wrinkled, the Sacrifice Moon Domain, all living things palpitated.
Powerful figures of various clans had many premonitions, raising their heads in horror, gazing at the Repentance Plain.
And at this moment, in the Northern Ice Plain, there were many depressions. Large chunks of ice layers shattered and sank from the ground. The entire earth formed a serious collapse due to the disappearance of the Great World fragment at the bottom.
Even more ice river water overflowed. As it flowed in all directions, four figures shuttled through the collapsing ice layers at lightning speed.
It was Xu Qing, the Captain, and the others.
They ran and jumped rapidly, rushing from underground toward the outside world.
Behind them, the roaring sound was like a god roaring, ice blocks fell, and the earth became a black hole whirlpool, wanting to swallow everything from the outside world.
In front of them, the ice layers were like huge sharp blades, uneven, whistling past them along with the cold wind.
Fortunately, the four were not ordinary. At this moment, they each unfolded their techniques. Wu Jianwu had a large number of fierce beasts appearing around him to open the way, and the Captain's method fully combined Xiang Ningyan's role, transforming into a meteor hammer, invincible.
Plus the pressure radiated from that skin, it was even smoother.
As for Xu Qing, he was the simplest. His body swayed and transformed into a ghost, becoming semi-transparent and ignoring everything.
Just like that, the four approached the surface continuously. On this road, the Captain couldn't help but look at Xu Qing several times, wanting to speak but stopping, his expression filled with depression.
In his heart, he was actually still a bit dazed until now. Xu Qing's appearance and actions gave him a feeling of being beaten to the punch.
"My sixth big event after coming to the Sacrifice Moon Domain in my plan was to get the nail on the Sovereign's third son's brow, and then the eighth big event was to release the Crown Prince beneath the Heavenly Fire Sea..."
"But little A-Qing went to the Heavenly Fire Sea and actually... completed them all? And it wasn't just completing a little bit, he even over-completed it, saving this Sovereign's third daughter?"
"This rhythm is wrong. Shouldn't it be me taking him to do big things..."
The Captain looked at Xu Qing with resentment.
What made his heart churn even more was that Xu Qing actually harvested a Great World fragment.
Thinking of his own arduous arrival, just to rub fingerprints, while little A-Qing actually pulled this place up by the roots and took it all away...
"No, I must work hard. As the Big Senior Brother, I am incomparably familiar here, so I must re-establish the majesty of the Big Senior Brother. Doing big things must be initiated by me!"
The Captain's eyes revealed determination. Whistling, his speed became faster.
Just like that, an incense stick of time later, the four figures finally rushed out from underground. The moment they stepped onto the ice plain, the Captain patted his forehead and shouted loudly.
"Little Roundy!"
Instantly, a dim ball of fire flew out from his brow. After heading straight for the firmament, the Captain swayed and stepped into it.
"You guys still not coming over!"
Wu Jianwu and Xiang Ningyan didn't say a word, rushing over rapidly, but their speed was still not as good as Xu Qing's.
The moment the Captain took out the sun, Xu Qing had already moved. He knew the Captain too well, so as soon as he saw his actions, he knew the purpose. In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside the Captain.
The next instant, this dim sun emitted a humming sound, heading straight for the sky. After a few flashes, it disappeared at the edge of the sky.
The Northern Ice Plain matter, with the departure of the sun, had nothing to do with Xu Qing and the others anymore.
Time passed, and soon a day went by.
In the firmament of the Sacrifice Moon Domain, a blurred ball of light was moving rapidly. It possessed concealment power, making its movement silent and soundless.
Looking closely, one could see that this ball of light was formed by five huge rings overlapping each other.
Densely packed runes were carved on the five rings, flashing according to a certain pattern, and they were even intersecting and rotating, with fast speed, thus radiating light. And in the center of the five rings, a golden meteorite floated there.
The light it radiated was absorbed and magnified by the five rings outside, thus forming light and heat.
On that golden meteorite, one could also see some exquisite buildings. The Captain's figure was lying on the roof of a building, his expression very strange, sighing from time to time, determined from time to time, and gritting his teeth from time to time.
And Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu, clearly having been here before, had no curiosity about the surroundings, lying on the ground with limbs spread, recalling the ice plain matters, each palpitating. As for that treasure skin, it was thrown to the side.
Xu Qing stood in the distance, gazing at the surroundings.
He knew the origin of this artificial sun.
What made him curious was how this object was manufactured.
And just as Xu Qing was carefully exploring here, the Captain on the roof in the distance emitted a faint voice.
"You two, have you rested enough? Why don't you put away my treasure skin? If it keeps roasting like this, it's going to dry out!"
Wu Jianwu and Xiang Ningyan sighed, hurriedly climbed up, walked toward the treasure skin, and rolled it up.
Xu Qing noticed the two's actions and walked over.
As for the Captain there... Xu Qing had seen that something was wrong before, and understood why he was like this, but didn't pay attention. This kind of thing wasn't the first time.
Back then, the Taichu Liyou Pillar was also like this. According to Xu Qing's judgment, the Captain needed some time to do some psychological construction.
"Is this the purpose of you coming here?" After approaching Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu, Xu Qing looked at the skin, noticing that there were fingerprints imprinted on it.
Wu Jianwu nodded listlessly. Xiang Ningyan was still very respectful to Xu Qing, so he hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, Boss. This is the goal of the tossing along the way after Big Brother Chen Erniu took us away." After speaking, he also glanced at the Captain there.
The Captain in the distance heard this and emitted a sigh again.
Xu Qing blinked and spoke in a deep voice.
"This skin is not bad!"
Xiang Ningyan hesitated, but still spoke in a low voice.
"It's not bad... This is Big Brother Chen Erniu's skin. He made me and Big Jianjian peel it off him more than ten times... Peeling it off with our own hands."
"Big Jianjian finally had a shadow."
Xu Qing was silent. He knew the Captain was crazy, but he still hadn't expected that he could be crazy to such an extent, being able to utilize all his own advantages so reasonably.
The Captain on the roof in the distance noticed Xu Qing's expression, and his mood couldn't help but become proud. He was just about to speak, but once he thought that this bit of his stuff really couldn't compare to a Great World fragment, he sighed again.
He felt his skin was peeled in vain...
So his eyes revealed determination. He sat up violently, his expression deep, looking at Xu Qing, and spoke faintly.
"Little A-Qing!"
Xu Qing's expression was serious, looking at the Captain.
"Little A-Qing, this time it was just your Big Senior Brother I showing off a little. Next, we go to Tianniu Mountain. Big Senior Brother will take you to open your eyes and let you know how awesome I was back then!"
Xu Qing was moved upon hearing this, putting on a look full of expectation.
Seeing Xu Qing like this, the Captain was immediately comfortable, stood up with his hands behind his back, first looked at Wu Jianwu, then looked up at the distant heavens and earth.
"Don't look at yesterday's yellow flowers, just look at who is more awesome tomorrow!"
Wu Jianwu spoke helplessly. ===== CHAPTER 554 =====
