Chapter 659: My Past Is Beyond Your Imagination

The moment the thought arose, a massive blood-colored palm in the Moonlight Sea connected heaven and earth, whistling toward the crowd.

Its speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it swept through everything, approaching the Crown Prince and the others.

The Captain's ex-wife still hadn't arrived. Watching this from outside the gate, Xu Qing's eyes flashed with decisiveness. He didn't know what would happen once the image inside the purple crystal appeared, but seeing the Crown Prince and the others seemingly unable to resist, he could only do his utmost to help.

But just as the purple crystal within Xu Qing began to shine, the Crown Prince and the others each unleashed their trump cards, and bursts of ancient aura erupted from them.

"Father King!" The Crown Prince's low roar also echoed from the mouths of Princess Mingmei and the others.

Instantly, the statue of Sovereign Li Li Zihua beneath the Red Moon stars trembled violently. Its intent to awaken grew stronger; even the statue's eyelids were now twitching as if about to open. Its breath dispersed from its mouth, rapidly enveloping the Red Moon, as if bestowing a blessing upon its descendants.

Thus, within the Moon Palace, time shone, laws descended, and sword light shook the heavens. The combined power of the Crown Prince and the others formed the shadows of six worlds, colliding with that blood-colored palm.

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering sound erupted with world-destroying momentum. The six great worlds withered one by one. The Crown Prince spat out blood, the armor outside Princess Mingmei's body shattered, Old Eight's flesh and blood became a blur, Old Nine's sword collapsed repeatedly, and he also bled from the corner of his mouth.

Yet their blood did not scatter; instead, it gathered together, merging with the Sovereign's breath pouring into this place to form a massive, illusory finger.

This finger emitted a terrifying aura and pressed down hard against the palm in front. The Red Moon shook, and the Moon Palace swayed. The blood-colored palm halted abruptly, and the Reverse Moon Mirror upon it emitted a cracking sound at that instant. With the echo of 'crack' sounds, the Reverse Moon Mirror collapsed, shattering into pieces and scattering in all directions.

Its collapse affected the Red Moon and the palm. This massive palm also fell apart; its five fingers were sliced by the mirror shards, falling toward the earth piece by piece, emitting roaring sounds as they turned back into a sea of blood.

The palm center was separated in the blink of an eye, falling away. At this moment, the world within the Moon Palace was replaced by countless small, shattered mirror fragments.

They floated in all directions, a shocking sight, while the Crown Prince and the others were all exhausted, their faces pale.

As for Zhang Zhang Siyun in the distance, his fingers, which had reached into his own neck, had already grasped the final silk thread and were slowly pulling it out.

Seeing this, Old Nine took a deep breath. His eyes instantly revealed sharpness, and he stood straight as a drawn sword. He locked his gaze onto Zhang Zhang Siyun, his right hand slowly lifting. The surrounding Reverse Moon Mirror fragments were actually controlled by him in this space.

As they rotated and refracted his figure from different angles, Old Nine's form appeared on all the countless mirror fragments within the moonlight.

Countless Old Nines now lifted their right hands, where sun, moon, and stars emerged, along with strands of laws. On his shoulder, light shone, forming a great world that began to burn at this moment.

Amidst the spreading infinite flames, all living beings within those two great worlds could be seen lifting their right hands, each holding a sword. Their sword Qi gathered, filling the world and Old Nine's entire body, finally converging on his right hand to form a sword.

Once this sword appeared, the heavens changed color. Here, Old Nine was not just one; within the countless Reverse Moon Mirror fragments, every reflection held a sword, and all lifted their hands at once.

Zhang Zhang Siyun turned his head to look at all of them. The fingers reaching into his neck paused, and he lifted his head, his expression revealing a hint of gravity as he looked at Old Nine.

The moment their gazes met, Zhang Zhang Siyun waved his left hand, and the Moonlight Sea churned again, reforming the blood-colored palm to strike at Old Nine.

Old Nine also spoke in a low voice at this moment!

"Slash!" The moment the word was spoken, the sword in his hand fell, and the swords of the masses within the great world on his shoulder fell as well.

All the figures within the Reverse Moon Mirror fragments also slashed down simultaneously—a heaven-shaking divine dance.

Within each fragment of the Mirror of the Reversed Moon, sword light erupted in that instant, converging to form a massive sword that shook the heavens and the earth.

This sword shone with brilliant light, containing supreme power, and slashed suddenly toward Zhang Zhang Siyun.

Winds rose and clouds surged, the world roared, and the void collapsed; this was the Ninth's strongest sword strike, and with the added reinforcement of the Mirror of the Reversed Moon fragments, its power surged accordingly.

At this moment, it whistled through the air and collided directly with the blood-colored palm; as the palm roared and trembled violently, its five fingers curled, as if intending to crush this great sword.

But the next moment, the center of the palm could not withstand the force and exploded directly, forming a rain of blood, while the five descending fingers were also affected, shattering and exploding into blood mist that churned violently in all directions.

Yet the power of this sword did not dissipate; after shattering the palm, its momentum remained like a rainbow, approaching Zhang Zhang Siyun with unstoppable force. As it fell, Zhang Zhang Siyun retreated, and beneath his feet, the Other Shore Flowers bloomed rapidly to block the path.

A rumbling sound echoed through the Moon Palace and across the Red Moon; that eerie, blood-colored Other Shore Flower and the Red Moon star were unable to block the sword's power, shattering upon contact, and the sword light slashed them into pieces.

But it ultimately neutralized a portion of the sword's power. As the sword light scattered and fell before Zhang Zhang Siyun, he raised his left hand and pressed forward.

With this press, his entire body vibrated, his clothes exploded, his hair scattered, the void behind him collapsed, and he retreated step by step; as he did, cracks even appeared on his palm, and drops of golden blood splattered out.

Only after retreating five steps did Zhang Zhang Siyun's body come to a halt.

"This sword strike is stunning!"

He spoke softly, and as he did, the sword light before his palm dimmed and gradually dissipated from everyone's sight.

The crowd fell silent, their gazes dimming along with the sword light; it seemed that "God-Slaying" was truly just a joke.

After Zhang Zhang Siyun spoke, his right hand, having neutralized the attack, slowly withdrew from his neck. A silk thread was pinched between his fingers; this was the final thread within the Divine Body. As he pulled it out and gave it a light pinch, the thread collapsed into fly ash and dissipated.

Looking at the crowd, Zhang Zhang Siyun's expression returned to calm. With a wave of his hand, the collapsed Other Shore Flowers returned and landed on his clothes, becoming a totem-like embroidery.

Then, he took a step forward. No one could block this step; even as the Heir and the others retreated rapidly, they still found it difficult to avoid him. In an instant, Zhang Zhang Siyun appeared before the Fifth Princess.

As he pointed a finger down, the Fifth Princess felt bitter. Just then, the heavily injured Eighth let out a miserable laugh; his entire emotional state collapsed, and his seven emotions and six desires erupted, forming a five-colored light and unfolding an eerie technique. In the instant Zhang Zhang Siyun's finger fell, he swapped positions with the Fifth Princess.

In a flash, the Fifth Princess disappeared, and the Eighth's figure appeared there. As he glared at Zhang Zhang Siyun, Zhang Zhang Siyun's finger landed on the Eighth's brow.

With a light touch, the Eighth's whole body shuddered, and with a bang, he turned into a mist of blood.

The Eighth's death filled the Heir and the others with grief and indignation; they wanted to intervene, but at this moment, Zhang Zhang Siyun could not be shaken.

The Divine Body flickered, and with a stride, ignoring everyone, he appeared once more before the Fifth Princess.

"Because the future is sealed by the gods, I will not die under this irreversibility, but I, too, am a god!"

Zhang Zhang Siyun spoke softly, and his finger fell again.

The Heir roared in grief, Princess Mingmei's expression was tragic, and the Ninth pressed his brow, pulling out the final sword of his life with a violent tug. The two shifted and neared Zhang Zhang Siyun.

Zhang Zhang Siyun's expression remained unchanged. His head suddenly turned, rotating half a circle on his neck, and he looked calmly at the three approaching figures, speaking softly.

As the words left his lips, a massive, invisible binding force descended. The bodies of the Heir and the others were instantly unable to move, while the Ninth bled from his seven orifices.

Yet he still struggled to charge forward, just as Zhang Zhang Siyun's finger had already fallen, touching the Fifth Princess's brow.

But at this moment, Zhang Zhang Siyun's brow furrowed slightly, his right hand instantly withdrew, and his body retreated in a flash.

The moment he retreated, the Fifth Princess's figure blurred; she had hidden herself using a black cloak.

The Ancient Spirit Emperor was wary of the Red Mother, so he had not acted until now; even when Zhang Zhang Siyun was injured by the Ninth's sword, he had cautiously remained hidden.

But now, he had finally acted, because he saw the Fifth Princess's utility and understood the significance of Zhang Zhang Siyun wanting to kill her, so he could not allow it to continue.

This was not to help the Heir, but so that he himself could consume the Red Mother.

Thus, after appearing, a deep, massive mouth grew within the eyes above him, and he lunged to swallow the retreating Zhang Zhang Siyun.

*Crack! * The massive mouth bit into empty air, but it did not end there. The black cloak instantly surged out, ignoring Zhang Zhang Siyun's divine might and status, rising suddenly to envelop him directly.

At the same time, the Heir and the others, no longer under Zhang Zhang Siyun's gaze, charged toward him. But soon, the Heir and Princess Mingmei were sent reeling back, blood filling the air, and the Ninth's sword also cracked as he retreated.

As for Zhang Zhang Siyun, enveloped by the black cloak, blood light flashed nine times across his body, and a miserable sound emanated from the cloak. The cloak became visibly blood-colored.

The eyes within it rose rapidly. Zhang Zhang Siyun wanted to leave, but as a swallowing sound came, Zhang Zhang Siyun's voice changed in tone, echoing in all directions.

"I smelled your scent just now? I didn't expect you to be so patient, only appearing now!"

The Ancient Spirit Emperor's eyes narrowed, and a thorny ring appeared above him. All the faces within it opened their eyes in unison, their expressions filled with pain and anticipation, looking down at the Ancient Spirit Emperor and suppressing him.

The Ancient Spirit Emperor's eyes immediately blurred. After all, he was an existence that had once unified the Eastern Wanggu Continent; facing such a crisis, he did not panic in the slightest. After taking a deep look at Zhang Zhang Siyun, he collapsed on his own with a sound, turning into flesh and blood.

And the moment he shattered, Zhang Zhang Siyun's body also changed. The wound on his neck, which had already healed, tore open directly, spreading across half his torso; at the same time, the scar on the other half of his body, formed by the Ninth's sword, also erupted and expanded.

As a result, at this moment, Zhang Zhang Siyun was covered in blood, as if heavily injured, looking somewhat shattered.

This was the authority of the Ancient Spirit Emperor!

Under his gaze, all minor injuries would become severe, and all severe injuries would lead to death.

And his status was sufficiently high, so even when Zhang Zhang Siyun encountered it, he could not suppress it for a time. Looking from afar, Zhang Zhang Siyun was incredibly disheveled at this moment, his injuries very severe.

But saliva still couldn't help but drip from his mouth as he looked at the void in the distance and began to laugh.

"You must be delicious!" As he spoke, the shattered Zhang Zhang Siyun suddenly turned his head to look at Princess Mingmei.

As the void behind Princess Mingmei twisted, the River of Time was forcibly revealed, showing the Fifth Princess's figure, and the deceased Eighth was currently being resurrected under the Fifth Princess's blessing.

"So, she was hidden here by you."

"It doesn't matter now? You are all gathered together!"

As Zhang Zhang Siyun spoke, he withdrew his gaze. His shattered body rose into the air, and his broken half-arm raised a finger to land on his own brow. With a touch, countless overlapping images immediately appeared before Zhang Zhang Siyun.

These images were all of his past!

It was not the Red Mother, but Zhang Zhang Siyun's own images. The beginning was his birth; he even saw Tao Yao Yunhui within them. This was Zhang Zhang Siyun's life.

And the end of the images was not the present, but the moment the Red Mother descended from the blood-colored sky over the Forbidden Immortal Land of Fenghai County.

From that moment on, Zhang Zhang Siyun's fate had been changed; he no longer belonged to himself. Perceiving his own past, Zhang Zhang Siyun's expression remained the same. His raised hand pinched the final scene in his past memories and pulled it out, placing it before him.

In the image, the blood-colored sky and the Red Mother's finger were shocking. Watching this, Zhang Zhang Siyun's arm waved slightly, and the image rapidly grew larger, expanding to the extreme in the blink of an eye amidst a rumbling sound.

It replaced this place, spread across the Moonlit Sea here, and covered the world here!

The sky was blood-colored without end, and the earth was a ruin, as if they had returned to the Forbidden Immortal Land of Fenghai County.

Even Xu Qing and the Captain, who were outside, were enveloped within it. The two of them looked at the familiar surroundings with turbulent hearts, their expressions changing.

Xu Qing could not forget this place; it was where he had first truly seen the Red Mother.

At that time, Zhang Zhang Siyun, possessed by the Red Mother, was battling the Fish-Bone God of the Forbidden Immortal Land—or to be precise, that was not a battle, but a feeding. When it was almost finished, the Fish-Bone God summoned its master, and the Red Mother, that Ninth-Rank Upper God, descended in her true form.

And now, this scene was recreated here. As the sky fluctuated and the red color spread, countless cracks appeared, and after merging with each other, they turned into countless runes, shining across the entire sky.

At this moment, it turned deep red and began to rotate on its own, faster and faster, eventually forming a blood-colored vortex.

A moon faintly appeared within the vortex; it was the Red Moon!

This scene was extremely eerie. Clearly, Xu Qing and the others were on the moon, but now, the vortex they looked up at also contained a Red Moon, and standing on the Red Moon was a kneeling statue covering its eyes.

At this moment, the statue's hands slowly lowered, and the corners of its mouth curled up, revealing greed.

This was the Red Mother's true form. The world roared. Zhang Zhang Siyun watched as the Red Mother from the past in his memory images slowly stood up and walked out from the vortex. As the god walked out, endless blood spilled from the vortex, far exceeding Zhang Zhang Siyun's divine might, descending from the sky with immense vastness.

Before her, even the Spirit-Storing Realm had no qualifications to act. The bodies of the Heir and the others roared, and just by the touch of her aura, they were each forced back.

At this moment, death enveloped them. Everything withered into eternity; the rot could not be reversed, could not be countered, and could not be resisted. At the critical moment of crisis, the Captain suddenly began to laugh.

This smile was ferocious, and his eyes were filled with madness.

"Damn it, the ex-wife can't be relied upon, I have to rely on myself!" As he spoke, the Captain's entire body shone with blue light, and faces appeared within faces in his eyes. At this instant, countless mouths grew on his body. As he looked extremely eerie, his body also rose into the air.

He spread his arms, bearing the divine might from the Red Mother as his body constantly rotted. And the more painful and rotten he became, the more intense the madness in the Captain's eyes grew.

At this moment, he opened all his mouths and let out a roar: "Past Life!"

His voice echoed, forming heavenly thunder that exploded, and blue light erupted, forming a brilliant sea of light.

A corpse walked out from the blue light; this was the Emperor. His body was covered and merged with the Captain's past-life body. The moment he appeared, the Captain's expression was ferocious as he let out a low growl.

"Little Junior Brother, I'm going all out!" As he spoke, his body flickered, and he merged directly into the past-life body. In the next instant, the past-life body's eyes opened abruptly.

The cultivation of the Spirit-Storing Realm erupted to the heavens, and even more terrifying fluctuations rose within. Vaguely, a large mosquito even appeared behind him.

This mosquito exuded evil, its eyes also blue and filled with greed. After forming, the Captain's past-life body lunged toward the sky.

The Red Mother charged forward. Wherever she passed, the cold air shook the heavens and the earth, gathering to cover her entire body and the phantom behind her. Thus, in the blink of an eye, an ice sculpture of a mosquito formed in the sky, charging into the vortex and toward the Red Mother.

The Heir and the others watched this scene with changing expressions, but the Captain's past life was a failure in countering the Red Mother; even with such an eruption, it was still far from enough.

Thus, in the next instant, as the Red Mother's gaze fell, the mosquito ice sculpture transformed by the Captain's past life shattered instantly.

However, the Captain's past-life body within, driven by his present self, naturally had other means. Thus, in the blink of an eye, the past-life body decomposed on its own, turning into countless blue worms.

These worms each grew mosquito wings, not only possessing mosquito mouths but also ferocious maws, charging madly toward the Red Mother in mid-air. A portion of the worms spat silk rapidly, forming a strand of hair, and they spread across the hair to form the shape of a door frame.

An ancient wooden door was forcibly manifested. Subsequently, those worms bit fiercely at the door, and the wooden door shattered in the blink of an eye, with angry low growls coming from within.

All of this takes a long time to say, but in reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

A portion of the blue worms charged at the Red Mother, a portion formed the wooden door, and a portion devoured her. All of this finally caused the Red Mother in the past images to pause her steps.

But it was only a pause. As she took another step, the heavens and earth changed color; everything dissipated as she descended.

The blue worms nearby let out miserable sounds, all turning to ash, as did the worms forming the wooden door.

Yet the Captain himself still existed, and the low growls from within became the new thunder of this world, roaring and exploding.

But the existence within the door did not appear; at this moment, during the confrontation, he chose to hide, and the entire wooden door blurred rapidly, as if intending to leave.

And just at this moment, a change that shook the sky, enough to make all gods tremble and the Eastern Wanggu Continent roar, was brewing in Xu Qing's heart.

At this moment, he was on the ground, insignificant in an inconspicuous corner.

But a storm was forming in his heart!

The moment the Senior Brother said he was going all out, Xu Qing sank his spiritual sense into the purple crystal, merging it into the first image. In that image, the God's Remnant Face opened its eyes.

He did not know what would happen if he revealed it, but at this moment, Xu Qing was decisive in his heart. As his spiritual sense merged and he controlled the purple crystal, that image became clearer and clearer.

Gradually, the image occupied the entirety of the purple crystal, spreading within Xu Qing's body until it appeared outside his body!

The moment it appeared, a wind blew through here, and immediately, a bell-like sound drifted up in this shattered world.

The space enveloped by Zhang Zhang Siyun's past memory images trembled violently in this wind. The earth changed instantly; the ruins of the Forbidden Immortal Land were like paper, blown into fragments by the wind.

This was no longer the Forbidden Immortal Land, but a small town, desolate, dead, and silent. The sky also changed in the wind, and blood-colored rain fell drop by drop, but it had no connection to the Red Moon's authority.

The world blurred and twisted, and all things withered. The Red Mother's steps paused; she was trembling, wanting to leave. The great door solidified at this moment, the roars within disappeared, and she, too, was trembling.

On the ground, the Heir and the others were also trembling, and a trembling sound echoed from the void.

This sound came from Zhang Zhang Siyun, and the source of all this trembling was a supreme existence in the sky that suppressed Eastern Wanggu and was feared even by the gods?

It was a Remnant Face, covering the world, covering all living beings. The vast human face was cold, indifferent, and high above.

Only strands of withered, curved hair hung down, as if under her world, all living beings were ants, and as if the phenomenon of all things growing during the Awakening of Insects was influenced by her and had to change.

And at this moment, she opened her eyes!
