Chapter 643: Nose, Mouth, Brain, Limbs, and Viscera, Returning

As Xu Qing walked out, the blood beasts on the battlefield became increasingly restless, their struggles and panic becoming exceptionally evident in their behavior!

They instinctively let out roars, the spines on their bodies twitching rapidly without them even realizing it; their eyes were bloodshot, their pupils constricted, and one of them was even frantically clawing at the ground, its body trembling.

This was a suppression of their bloodlines stemming from the Red Moon authority; prior to this, only the Red Mother and the God Child could control these blood beasts, making them obey commands. Outsiders could not do so, and even the Palace Emperor could not issue too many orders to them.

Yet now, with Xu Qing's appearance, he possessed the same qualifications as the Red Mother and the God Child. He had tested this in the Green Sand Desert that day, and his greatly increased cultivation base—specifically the cultivation of the first secret store of his Spirit Store—made his Red Moon authority even more vast, and the intangible suppression from a higher status even more pronounced.

After a few steps, Xu Qing walked out of the Mirror of the Counter-Moon, his entire body radiating countless blood droplets that converged into a blood-colored vortex surrounding his form.

As it rumbled and spun, his aura of higher status was unleashed toward heaven and earth with full force.

In an instant, the firmament shook and the earth was stained with blood, but this red light did not bring protection or blessings to the Red Moon cultivators; instead, it brought endless terror and horror.

Not all Red Moon cultivators had heard of the matters concerning Xu Qing; for the vast majority of them, they did not truly understand the real significance of Xu Qing.

Thus, at this moment, the crimson light and authority radiating from Xu Qing, along with that status-pressure comparable to a God Child, left most of the Red Moon cultivators here terrified.

Countless people were moved, their expressions changing drastically; these Red Moon cultivators could clearly feel the faith within their own bodies now churning uncontrollably, telling them that the person before them must be the very source of their faith.

This absurd feeling immediately caused the hearts of the Red Moon cultivators here to surge with immense waves, but compared to them—

The blood beasts, which acted based on instinct and intuition, had much simpler minds. At this moment, the blood beasts in all directions trembled, their restlessness gradually dissipating and being replaced by submission; one by one, they lowered their heads toward Xu Qing, showing signs of obedience.

Looking across this place, countless blood beasts on the sky and earth prostrated themselves. These ferocious blood beasts were like demons escaped from hell, yet no matter how bloodthirsty, cruel, or hungry they had been before!

Right now, they instinctively lowered their heads in worship, as if meeting their monarch. And the Xu Qing they worshipped stood at this moment outside the Mirror of the Counter-Moon, his long hair dancing in the wind.

His handsome face wore an expression of indifference, perfect as if sculpted, matching the blood-colored vortex outside his body. For a moment, someone even blurted out, "God Child!"

At this moment, Xu Qing truly looked like a God Child in every way. The Palace Emperor's expression was grave as he stared at Xu Qing, a flicker of killing intent appearing in his eyes.

Xu Qing ignored him, standing silently in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the blood beasts in all directions as he transmitted his divine sense to mark the Red Moon cultivators here.

"Eat them!"

The blood beasts raised their heads in unison, and in the next instant, they looked fiercely at the surrounding Red Moon cultivators and the Palace Emperor. Their eyes revealed bloodlust and madness, and they let out roars, all of them charging out to howl at the Red Moon cultivators.

The situation on the battlefield reversed at this moment, falling into instant chaos; screams, exclamations, and roars rose and fell continuously.

The Counter-Moon side's morale soared. With the help of the blood beasts, their pressure was greatly reduced, and after quickly regrouping, they orderly joined the battlefield to fight together.

But just at this moment, a muffled thunderous sound, like the first clap of thunder after the creation of the world, suddenly erupted from within the Red Mother's mortal shell. The Red Mother's mortal shell contracted rapidly and then expanded violently, with shrill cries faintly emanating from within.

Clearly, the war within the Red Mother's mortal shell had undergone some changes, adding insult to injury for the Red Moon cultivators here. Their expressions shifted, and the Palace Emperor, at this moment, finally showed decisiveness.

He truly did not want to take action personally; the previous battle at the Bitter Life Mountains had left him with great apprehension regarding the many methods of the Counter-Moon Palace, and the words of the former Divine Sparrow Child had left his mind unsettled. In particular, the matter of the "eyes" mentioned by the other party made him very uneasy.

Even though the Divine Sparrow Child was now in a precarious state, he instinctively did not want to get close to Xu Qing, because the junior standing beside Xu Qing was the very owner of the eyes the Divine Sparrow Child had spoken of.

Although he had investigated after his return, the Counter-Moon Palace had come too quickly, and the God Child had chosen to breakthrough, leaving him no time to probe everything.

And most importantly, he had also heard that person's voice transmission to Xu Qing through a special method.

But now, he could no longer refrain from acting, yet he did not approach, standing in his original spot instead.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he raised his right hand and pointed at the firmament. "Sea of Heavenly Fire!" As the Palace Emperor spoke, the firmament rumbled, the stars shifted, and the sky began to flow like a river, as if the entire heavens had become a piece of cloth.

At this moment, it was pulled rapidly by someone, shifting the sky of the Heavenly Fire Sea region onto the island. In the blink of an eye, a huge crack appeared in the firmament, and endless heavenly fire roared down like a waterfall. Controlled by the Palace Emperor, it gathered nearby, forming a giant finger that headed toward the Mirror of the Counter-Moon.

This was "Moving the Heavens." The power of the Palace Emperor had not ended; he turned his eyes to look at Xu Qing, focusing on the Captain beside him, and formed hand seals once more.

Immediately, the northern ice plains of the Moon-Sacrifice Domain trembled. In an instant, the earth shifted, and as the surroundings turned icy, the entire northern snowfield's ice layer was moved onto the island's ground, rising up and heading straight for the Mirror of the Counter-Moon. This was "Changing the Earth."

Subsequently, the Palace Emperor narrowed his eyes. With the Sea of Heavenly Fire above his head and the Northern Ice Plains beneath his feet, he grabbed at the heavens and earth with his right hand, and in an instant, endless wind appeared out of thin air within the world.

The Sea of Heavenly Fire raged, and the ice plains' cold air surged to the heavens.

This endless wind gathered rapidly around the Palace Emperor, forming a storm that connected heaven and earth, expanding with ice and fire in all directions with a rumbling sound.

It pressed toward the Mirror of the Counter-Moon like a finger. "This is 'Catching the Wind'!" This scene made everyone's expressions change. Immediately after, the Palace Emperor's voice spread out again to all the Counter-Moon cultivators here, including Xu Qing and the Captain.

With this wave, the bodies of the Counter-Moon cultivators here shook violently. Their physical bodies were unharmed, but almost everyone's expression changed; the shadows beneath their feet, illuminated by the light of the heavenly fire, blurred rapidly and finally vanished.

Some shadows were gathered together as if captured onto the Palace Emperor's right hand, turning into a ball of black mist that spread along his palm and arm until it diffused throughout his entire body. A shadow-finger rose up, pressing toward the Mirror of the Counter-Moon. "This is 'Seizing the Shadow'!"

Moving the Heavens and Changing the Earth, Catching the Wind and Seizing the Shadow—the power of the Profound Realm can be seen from this.

Only the shadow beneath Xu Qing's feet remained, struggling violently.

"Hmm!" The Palace Emperor's gaze sharpened, but this was not the time to focus on that. The finger formed by his attack carried the power to destroy heaven and earth, and it was suppressing the Mirror of the Counter-Moon.

Once it landed, the Mirror of the Counter-Moon might still exist, but the impact on the Counter-Moon cultivators would certainly be significant.

In an instant, a crisis arose, but at this very moment, the Captain laughed. He laughed loudly and took a step forward, his expression filled with excitement, his eyes revealing fervor.

Because of his agitated mood, he couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth.

"Eye-stealing thief, you finally made a move. Did you think I didn't know you could hear the voice transmission I gave to my little junior brother? I said that to you on purpose. And I wasn't waiting for you to come out, but for you to break your divine ability. In the end, you were still influenced by my eyes; the judgment brought by the images you saw was actually what I wanted you to see."

The Captain laughed, his demeanor becoming manic as he stepped forward, possessing the aura of someone about to dominate the battlefield and have a fierce fight. His right hand suddenly raised, pointing at the void of the firmament.

"Big Nose, Big Neck, come out for me!"

As soon as he spoke, the world changed color, and the void twisted. A giant nose and neck appeared out of thin air, summoned forth. They were covered in numerous seals, and even carried a divine temple on top.

Upon appearing, the divine temple collapsed, the seals exploded, and the nose and neck roared as they approached, slamming violently into the finger formed by the Sea of Heavenly Fire.

Amidst the rumbling, the heavenly fire finger paused, and the Captain's manic voice continued to echo.

"Big Head, fly here!" In the blink of an eye, a giant head without facial features flew out from the void. This head appeared bald, yet its imposing aura shook all directions as it headed straight for the finger.

"Arms, legs, torso, come out, and my internal organs too—return, divine body of my past life!" The Captain roared. Immediately, his shattered body from his past life descended from the void. Inside were two golden kidneys—one of which Xu Qing had helped him retrieve from the Mud Fox—which now appeared as well, roaring toward the finger formed by Catching the Wind and Seizing the Shadow. Following this, the Captain looked at the Palace Emperor, whose expression was shifting, with a strange glint in his eyes.

"Left ear!"

Amidst the rumbling of the void, a giant ear shattered the void and arrived. Then, the Captain raised his hand and waved out a blue coffin, which contained a corpse that Xu Qing and he had obtained at the Heavenly Life Mountain.

At this moment, this corpse walked out of the coffin and its entire body melted, transforming into a right ear.

Because the Captain's past life had sucked a mouthful of the Red Mother's blood, was he loathed by the Red Mother?

Thus, his body was torn apart, becoming the power source for the Red Moon divine temples across the domain, punished to drag the divine temples as he walked.

Originally, the Captain could not continue to control it; he could only rely on the help of the Flame Moon back then to hide one ear.

It wasn't until some time ago, through the blessing of the Counter-Moon Palace's power, that he finally sensed all his organs and body and established a connection, which led to today's summoning.

And all of this—whether it was the artificial sun or becoming the Lord of the Counter-Moon—was his plan, and now it was all complete.

At this moment, seeing his past-life body arrive, the Captain excitedly raised his hand and pointed at the Palace Emperor, who was retreating rapidly with unease rising in his heart, and roared, "Where is the mouth? Swallow this eye-stealing thief for me!"

Thunder rolled across the firmament. A giant mouth materialized directly in the sky, and following the Captain's words, this mouth headed straight for the Palace Emperor.

The giant mouth opened wider and wider, eventually appearing as if it could swallow the earth, enveloping the Palace Emperor's surroundings.

The Palace Emperor's breathing became rapid! As his heart was filled with terror, the madness in the Captain's eyes grew even more intense. "Eye-stealing thief, yesterday you stole my eye, today I, your father, will seize your body!"
