Chapter 661: Someone Used a Period of My Time

Back in the Immortal Forbidden Land, Seventh Master had once taken two disciples to an Immortal Art Hall, where he took two from the many human skin masks and gifted them to Xu Qing and Chen Erniu.

These two human skin masks were both Immortal Arts.

One was called Heavenly Dog, which, because it suited Chen Erniu's habits, was taken by him. The other was not originally suitable for Xu Qing to use, but considering he had a good friend, the Head, Xu Qing kept it. This technique was named Compassion.

Its function was simple and singular: the wearer of this human skin mask could replace the living being looked at by their gaze and bear everything.

In Xu Qing's original hypothesis, it was to let the Head wear the mask and, at the moment he faced a life-and-death crisis, let the other party share the burden.

It was just that, all the way until today, Xu Qing had not encountered a time when it was needed, until this moment.

And Immortal Arts, although there was a significant difference from Divine Arts, were ultimately also eerie methods. Especially since Seventh Master had once said that according to ancient records, the true name of this technique was Forbidden Art.

Later, for the sake of beautification, it was given the title of Immortal Art, but Xu Qing also knew the drawback of this Compassion Immortal Art, which was that it required the gaze to be fixed upon the target. Fortunately... this gazing did not need to be long; one glance was enough.

So, almost the moment the human skin mask was placed on Zhang Siyun's face, Xu Qing did not hesitate. After a glance at the Eldest Senior Brother beside him, he turned his head, wanting to display the second image within the purple crystal.

Although he could not support the God's Remnant Face to open its eyes completely and had also been drained of a large amount of vitality, that was because the God's Remnant Face image had too high a status.

But the Ziqing Crown Prince in the second image clearly had a gap in status compared to the God's Remnant Face. So Xu Qing could attempt to display it.

And the key was that glance Xu Qing gave Chen Erniu. They had already reached a level where they did not need to speak and understood each other with just one look. So Chen Erniu did not hesitate at all, and his wide-open mouth bit down instantly on Xu Qing's arm.

This bite was not to devour, but to feed back. Instantly, vitality from Chen Erniu poured into Xu Qing's body. Although there was still a large gap from letting the god open its eyes completely, helping Xu Qing unfold the second image was barely worth a try.

Xu Qing's entire body shook, and the light of the purple crystal within his body shone instantly. After penetrating his body, it became a purple light source, diffusing infinite purple light toward the surroundings.

He could have found a way to cover the purple light, but Xu Qing did not. Not only did he not cover it, but he released it to the maximum extent, making the flow of this light appear similar to the thorn crown on Zhang Siyun's head.

And all this takes a long time to say, but in reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye. As Xu Qing's entire body shone with purple light, Zhang Siyun, who had the human skin mask placed on his face by the Ancient Spirit Emperor, felt his heart and mind shake.

As a Red Mother clone, he possessed omniscience and omnipotence, but... the Ancient Spirit Emperor's status was the same as hers, and under his interference, Zhang Siyun's omniscience and omnipotence were delayed.

This delay was extremely fatal at this moment because she did not know the function of this human skin mask, and most importantly, the purple light on Xu Qing's body attracted her intense attention and also triggered the rotation of the thorn crown on her head.

Thus, her gaze instinctively fell upon... Xu Qing, who was emitting purple light. The moment she looked at Xu Qing, Zhang Siyun's entire body shook. She saw an image and also merged into this image.

Not only did she see it, but at this moment, the Captain and the retreating Ancient Spirit Emperor also saw the image floating within this Moon Palace.

The sky was replaced by this image, dim and dark, blood rain falling again. In the ruins of the earth, Xu Qing stood there. His figure overlapped with another little boy revealed in the painting. That little boy was crying, and various emotions such as confusion, helplessness, and terror permeated from this little boy and from Xu Qing.

And at this moment, thunder flashed across the sky. There was no God's Remnant Face; there was only a young man wearing a black robe. This young man's appearance was incomparably handsome, extremely similar to the adult Xu Qing.

He stood there, gazing at Xu Qing. Following a light sigh, he walked over step by step from the sky. The blood rain separated before him, not falling at all. He walked like this until he reached behind Xu Qing, gently lifting his head, and his gaze fell gently upon Xu Qing.

"Little Brother, don't cry!"

The moment the gentle voice echoed, the little boy merging with Xu Qing was about to turn his head, but the next instant... a power of extinction erupted above his head. With a 'boom', the little boy's head collapsed, his body collapsed, and his form and spirit were destroyed. And along with him, Xu Qing also shook, his entire body appearing with countless cracks, especially his head, which looked as if it were about to fall apart!

Just at this moment, looking at the image, a miserable wail came from Zhang Siyun's mouth, and the thorn crown on her head also shone with monstrous purple light at this instant.

She was resisting. Everything her gaze looked at surged onto her body at this instant. The Immortal Art Compassion replaced the pain, replaced the injuries, and replaced the death.

Thus, the collapse of the little boy in the image directly affected Zhang Siyun. Her wailing sound was sharp, booming through the world and shaking the Moon Palace. Following the transfer of the damage, Zhang Siyun's newly formed body, having already endured the previous Remnant Face damage, was already in its weakest state.

At this moment, enduring this kind of destruction, her body collapsed again, falling apart. Her head was also like this, and her eyes revealed pain and confusion, as well as loss. This was the emotion of that little boy before he died.

The next instant, Zhang Siyun's head exploded, and the thorn crown on her head also shattered again amidst this trembling, finally leaving only a small section of purple thorn, falling toward the ground.

The Red Mother's divine split within no longer existed. Zhang Siyun was truly dead. The image dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, the body composed of the Captain's worms charged over directly, his speed exploding to his own limit.

In an instant, he arrived at the place where Zhang Siyun died, grabbing toward the falling purple thorn. And beside him, the Ancient Spirit Emperor's figure appeared, also going to grab it, and his speed was even faster.

Seeing it was about to be grabbed, the Captain was mad, roaring loudly. A Heavenly Dog phantom appeared behind him, biting fiercely toward that place. At the same time, Xu Qing spat out a large mouthful of blood, his entire body the same, large amounts of blood flowing along the cracks, especially his face, which was like this. As his body staggered and retreated, seeing this scene, the purple light on his body shone forcibly.

"That is mine!"

Xu Qing's words made the Ancient Spirit Emperor's movements pause. If someone else had spoken like this, she would not have cared, but having personally seen Xu Qing display that kind of terrifying power twice, her wariness of Xu Qing was extremely high.

Thinking of the subsequent feast, she paused slightly. The next instant, the Captain's Heavenly Dog whistled, directly swallowing the purple thorn, and retreated rapidly back to Xu Qing's side, staring unkindly at the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

The Ancient Spirit Emperor's gaze flickered, sweeping past Chen Erniu, and finally looking at Xu Qing. Just as he was about to speak, at this moment, a low roar carrying anger suddenly came from beneath the Moon Palace.

This sound was definitely not something a cultivator could emit. Its echoing made the entire Red Moon star erupt with red light, and the ground melted rapidly, forming a sea of blood.

This sea was incomparably viscous, and it had a rich smell of blood, filling the heavens and earth. The aura of a god rose to the sky.

The entire Festival Moon Great Domain trembled at this moment.

That was... the sound of the Red Mother's main body. She had completely awakened!

At the same time, far outside the Festival Moon Great Domain, separated by multiple great domains, located in the center of the entire Wanggu world, there existed a domain that was extremely sacred to the human race. Its name was the Imperial Capital Great Domain.

Its location was extremely far from the Festival Moon Great Domain. Even if a cultivator relied on their own flight for a lifetime, it would be very difficult to reach. And at this moment, right in the middle of this human Imperial Capital Great Domain, there was a majestic city the size of a commandery.

This city was vast, with pavilions standing in great numbers, and countless humans lived within. And the most conspicuous thing in the city was a luxurious and majestic imperial palace.

At this moment, in a great hall within the imperial palace, two people were sitting opposite each other playing chess. One of them was a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe, his long hair coiled up and bound by a dragon-carved hairpin.

Sitting there, he looked like a tiger crouching and a dragon coiling, his body emitting a pressure like heaven, and even more imperial Qi spreading invisibly around him, conjuring a giant dragon, exhaling rosy light in heaven and earth.

This person was the contemporary Human Emperor. While his momentum was like a rainbow, his appearance carried natural majesty, his eyes containing stars. At this moment, holding a white piece, he spoke indifferently.

"State Preceptor, regarding the war of the Black Heaven Race, what do you think the result will be?"

After speaking, he was about to drop the chess piece in his hand when his eyes moved, looking at the person opposite!

"State Preceptor?" Sitting opposite the Human Emperor was a young man wearing a purple robe, his appearance handsome to the point of being monstrous, his long hair spread on the ground, and every strand seemed to contain sun, moon, and stars.

If Xu Qing were here, he would recognize at a glance that this person... was exactly the Ziqing Crown Prince.

At this moment, he held a black piece in his hand, but within his brilliant eyes, a mist passed through. After hearing the Human Emperor's voice, the mist in Ziqing's eyes dissipated, and he spoke softly.

"Nothing, Your Majesty, it's just that someone used a period of my time."

The Human Emperor's eyes were deep. The white piece fell onto the board, and he was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He lifted his head fiercely, looking at the sky outside the great hall.

The Ziqing Crown Prince's eyes narrowed, and he also lifted his head. At the same time, the giant dragon in the sky emitted a heaven-shaking hiss, the sound wave spreading in all directions, staring fixedly at the sky.

It was not just them; soon, terrifying auras erupted from within the Imperial Capital, all locking onto the sky.

All gazes were looking at one target: the God's Remnant Face.

The God's Remnant Face in the sky was still closing its eyes, but at this moment, its head turned slightly, and the position it faced was the South!

That was the direction of the Saint Lan Great Domain, and also the direction of the Festival Moon Great Domain, and even more so the direction of the Red Moon star.

Many of the ten thousand races noticed this scene. In an instant, the entire Wanggu Continent was horrified.

And very few people knew why it was like this. Things within the Festival Moon Great Domain, because of the Red Mother's authority, could not be investigated by outsiders.

But regardless, its actions made all the peak existences of Wanggu feel heart palpitations. ===== CHAPTER 662 =====
