Chapter 644: She, Has Emerged

The Palace Emperor's strike moved heaven and earth and snatched at shadows; his momentum was immensely majestic, and the power of his divine containment was fully displayed.

The Captain's counterattack, using the organs and viscera of his past lives, was bizarre and unparalleled in style; the might of his past lives shook ghosts and gods alike.

Especially for the Red Moon side, almost everyone there had seen these terrifying limbs and organs; they knew that these usually carried the divine palace as it flew, serving as the ceremonial guard for the Red Moon Divine Palace when it went out.

Every single one of them contained a terrifying pressure.

Among them were even the organs Xu Qing had seen back at the Heavenly Fire Sea!

Over countless ages, the people of the Moon-Sacrificing Gorge region had speculated about the origins of these organs and limbs, but no matter what, they could never have imagined that these organs and limbs were actually the past lives of that person who appeared to have only Nascent Soul cultivation. After all, the era the Captain belonged to was separated from the present by an epoch; time was too vast, so even if there were survivors from his era, they would certainly be few and far between.

Thus, this series of transformations left the cultivators on both sides astonished and moved!

Especially at this moment, as madness filled Chen Erniu's eyes, the giant mouth he had manifested in the sky suddenly enveloped the Palace Emperor, as if swallowing the world!

Even more, a massive amount of saliva secreted from within the giant mouth, falling like rain in all directions.

The saliva was viscous and stood upright upon hitting the ground; it carried a thick sense of corrosion and possessed the power of sealing, forming a curtain on its own to lock everything down.

Seeing this, the Palace Emperor's expression changed drastically, and a strong sense of unease rose in his heart. Just as he was about to counterattack, a pain unprecedented in his life suddenly struck his eyes!

Under this intense pain, his spellcasting was interrupted, and the world before him changed. As everything blurred, countless afterimages manifested in the haze, rebounding against him.

The appearance of those afterimages was none other than the Captain.

Looking at these, the Palace Emperor's expression turned gloomy.

"Even if these eyes truly belonged to someone else in the past, they are mine now."

The Palace Emperor let out a cold snort and retreated. Regardless of the excruciating pain in his eyes, he circulated his cultivation and shook his body violently. Immediately, a sheet of golden light erupted from him, expanding with a rumble and transforming into countless seals that rapidly combined together.

During this process, blood flowed from his eyes, and within his pupils, a face shockingly emerged!

The appearance of this face was exactly that of the Captain!

He was smiling, a bizarre smile, and within the eyes of this face were yet more faces, one nested inside another. It was impossible to tell how many there were; one could only see that all the faces seemed to be wearing that same eerie smile!

The appearance of these faces caused the Palace Emperor's body to roar; his divine ability was about to be interrupted, and his body even paused for an instant!

But he was, after all, the Palace Emperor. Although his origins were unknown and his cultivation and body were pieced together, at this moment, he still let out an incantation!

"By the talisman command of the Primordial Blue, the righteous punishment of the Cavern Abyss, demons and evil ghosts, be bound and sent to the nether springs."

As he spoke, the golden light all over the Palace Emperor became even more blinding. The seals that had dispersed combined at this moment, forming the shadow of an immensely huge golden rhinoceros!

Roaring at the sky amidst the rumbling of heaven and earth, this golden rhinoceros charged out, heading straight for the giant mouth in the sky!

With a boom, the giant mouth bit directly onto the rhinoceros. Amidst the sound of grinding, the rhinoceros's body remained firm, and the giant mouth of the Captain's past life could not continue to bite down!

Taking advantage of this time, the golden light all over the Palace Emperor flashed again. This time, it gathered in his eyes, causing the faces appearing within them to immediately twist!

Those faces seemed unable to withstand it and rapidly dissipated under the golden light. As his eyes were gradually purified, the Palace Emperor's aura climbed higher and higher; it looked as though he was about to break free and turn the tide!

The Captain let out a cold laugh!

"A mere thief who pieced together stolen eyes."

He raised his hands, waved them violently, and let out a low roar!

"Body of past lives, become a brand, gather to this form, lock the life and seal the soul."

"Head, facial features, limbs, torso, viscera... go."

Blue light erupted from the Captain's body, forming a sea of blue light. He raised his right hand to form a seal and pointed at the Palace Emperor!

Immediately, all his past-life bodies and organs in the surroundings roared at this moment, rushing toward the Palace Emperor at high speed. They arrived in an instant, with astonishing pressure and a momentum like a rainbow.

The Palace Emperor was currently fighting against his own eyes. Faced with this scene, his mind shook, and the crisis of life and death surfaced in his heart once more. At this critical moment, his body let out a boom and collapsed on its own, turning into a sheet of golden light that surged backward in a desperate attempt to escape!

But the next instant, Li Li Xiaoshan, having somehow broken free from the Blood Guards' restraints, arrived in a single step. He brandished the long blade in his hand, killing intent intense in his eyes, and brought the blade down!

This strike split the void, formed a chasm, and descended like a sudden heavenly river!

Heaven and earth roared!

It struck the golden light!

Li Li Xiaoshan spat out blood. He had given his all for this strike and suffered a massive backlash; his body shattered, his flesh and blood became a mess, and as he retreated, he fell toward the ground, on the verge of death!

Yet his strike was not without effect; the golden light was slashed, and a shrill sound emanated from within. That sheet of golden light could not help but pause in mid-air!

In the instant of that pause, the Captain's organs fused in rapidly, the limbs arriving first!

The surroundings of the Captain's past life blurred for an instant, merging into the Palace Emperor's body, followed by the viscera, neck, torso, head, ears, nose... and finally the giant mouth from the sky, which bit through the golden barrier to swallow the Palace Emperor and fuse with him!

All of this sounds slow, but in reality, it happened in the blink of an eye. In the span of a breath, all of the Captain's past-life bodies had disappeared, completely fused into the Palace Emperor's body!

At this moment, the Palace Emperor's torso, limbs, viscera, and head—everything—was the Captain's past-life body!

His eyes were the same; at this moment, blue light flashed violently, erupting in all directions with a rumble, making the heaven and earth here brilliant with blue light!

Most astonishing was his appearance. As his facial features were replaced by the Captain's past life, his look changed, finally transforming into a face identical to the Captain's!

Heaven and earth changed color, wind and clouds surged. This scene caused all the Red Moon cultivators in the surroundings to be filled with horror and disbelief!

And under the convergence of this countless light, the Palace Emperor, now replaced by the Captain's past-life body, had an extremely unstable aura. He seemed to be struggling, yet his body could only stand in place, unable to move!

"My eyes, how could they be so easily controlled?"

"To tell you the truth, the moment I was born in every life, I placed restrictions on my own body every single day. Whenever I had time, I would refine my own body for fun. These restrictions and refinements accumulated over the months and years; by the end, even I was afraid of them!"

"And the body is the most powerful magic treasure your grandfather here possesses."

"Dealing with you today, one past-life body is enough. If you keep struggling, believe it or not, I'll summon all my past-life bodies to crush you to death."

The Captain's tone was arrogant as he looked at the Palace Emperor, who had been replaced by his past-life body. His words also drew Xu Qing's attention; he was not surprised by the Eldest Brother's success!

After all, the Captain had been preparing for this day for far, far too long!

What surprised Xu Qing was the Captain's habit of placing restrictions on his body while refining it.

Thus, Xu Qing glanced at the Captain's current body!

"There are fewer restrictions in this life. After all, every time I do something big, I end up missing an arm or a leg. For now, I've only finished refining the head!"

Seeing Xu Qing's gaze, the Captain guessed his thoughts and coughed!

Xu Qing's expression was strange; he nodded and looked back at the motionless Palace Emperor!

"Don't worry about that one. That eye-thief's soul is not simple, but don't think it can escape the seal of my past-life body. Once my past-life body slowly refines it, it will be under my control."

The Captain stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of triumph!

On the battlefield, the momentum of both sides had reversed. The Palace Emperor's failure caused the Red Moon cultivators to collapse mentally, and many had already begun to retreat, unwilling to continue the fight!

Conversely, the Reverse Moon cultivators were filled with a momentum like a rainbow; for hope, for freedom, for the future, they gave their all.

Just as everything was progressing in a good direction, a sudden change occurred!

A sound louder than heavenly thunder exploded from within the Red Mother's mortal shell. This sound was immense, as if the heavens were splitting, and the moment it erupted, it formed a violent wave of intent!

Wherever it passed, the Reverse Moon cultivators all spat out blood, and many had their physical bodies collapse directly!

The Red Moon cultivators were the same; in this sound wave, their bodies disintegrated, and their forms and spirits were destroyed!

Both sides retreated rapidly, moving far away from the Red Mother's mortal shell!

Xu Qing's expression also changed. He turned his head abruptly and, together with the Captain, looked at the Red Mother's mortal shell from which the sound had come!

Cracks spread rapidly across the surface of the Red Mother's mortal shell. Beams of blood-colored light pierced through the cracks, illuminating the surroundings, and at the same time, the Red Mother's mortal shell shattered!

Amidst the rumbling, the mortal shell broke into pieces and exploded directly. Five figures retreated from within; they were the Heir and the others.

Their expressions were extremely grave, and each had injuries. Especially the Fifth Princess and the Eighth, who still had blood at the corners of their mouths; while killing intent filled their eyes, there was also shock!

As for the Heir, his chest was sunken, and there was a huge hole where his heart should have been. The wound could not heal because the heart was gone!

Princess Mingmei's expression was ugly; her injuries were not light either!

Only the Ninth looked alright. His fighting spirit was intense, and he was positioned at the back, guarding his elder brother and the others!

"Retreat, she is coming out."

While retreating at this moment, the Ninth suddenly spoke!

The moment his words were uttered, a massive amount of blood inside the shattered Red Mother's mortal shell suddenly churned, as if it were connected to a vast expanse within.

A sea of blood—now, the sea of blood gushed out from within, flowing over the Sovereign statue and falling onto the earth, rapidly permeating the area!

Even more terrifying auras rose from within!

That was not the aura of a cultivator; it was the fluctuation of a god. The sky turned blood-colored once again, and the earth even more so!

Following that, under the gaze of countless eyes, a figure emerged from the Red Mother's mortal shell, stepping on the flow of blood and walking out unhurriedly!

As she walked, an overwhelming pressure erupted, sweeping outward like a landslide, earth-shattering, blurring the surroundings, and causing foreign substances to sprout!

This was the descent of a god.
