Chapter 666: You Dare to Hit My Dad!
Ancient Heavenly Dao, in legend, were the side that won in that Immortal-God battle back then, using supreme methods to send them into this world, carrying the mission of suppression and protection.
Suppressing Huangtian, hiding taboos, transforming everything into something suitable for cultivation, and then protecting cultivators.
Each of them possessed a long history, had their own mythological legends, and possessed terrifying power. Back then, they turned into bodies of laws, bestowing rules upon the Wanggu Continent, allowing cultivators to recuperate in this world, multiply generation after generation, until they became the masters of this world.
In the countless years since then, under the protection of the Ancient Heavenly Dao, the Wanggu Continent saw one race after another appear, gradually with ten thousand races standing tall, incomparably prosperous.
And every ancient emperor who could unify Wanggu was actually an existence recognized by the Ancient Heavenly Dao.
So in a sense, these ninety-nine Ancient Heavenly Daos were the guardians of the Wanggu Continent.
Time would pass, dynasties would change, and races would have ups and downs. Only these ninety-nine Ancient Heavenly Daos existed eternally, witnessing the prosperity of the Wanggu Continent time and time again.
Of course, during this period, some heaven-angering events also occurred.
For example, the Ancient Spirit Emperor, who once unified the entire Wanggu Continent, tried to seize the Ancient Heavenly Dao in his later years due to madness, thus causing the ninety-nine Ancient Heavenly Daos to descend in their true forms to suppress him.
Thus, the entire Ancient Spirit Dynasty collapsed, the Ancient Spirit Race was cursed, and the Ancient Spirit Emperor himself paid a heavy price.
From this, one could see the status of the Ancient Heavenly Dao on the entire Wanggu Continent.
It was not until the arrival of the God's Remnant Face that all this changed. The Remnant Face was above the Heavenly Dao. To a certain extent, this was another confrontation between Immortals and gods.
And the ending was that although the Ancient Heavenly Dao still existed, they were severely suppressed and weakened, far from their former ability. The entire Wanggu Continent fell into the invasion of heterogenous matter and turmoil.
The Remnant Face changed everything. All living beings were like trees during the Awakening of Insects, only the Ancient Heavenly Dao struggled to barely maintain their mission, but they could not escape the fate of being invaded.
This was also why Li Zihua clearly possessed the ability to summon the Heavenly Dao back then, yet still died in battle.
The Heavenly Dao was weakened.
But today was different. Although the power of the ninety-nine Ancient Heavenly Daos was even weaker than when Li Zihua summoned them back then, the Red Mother's opponent was no longer just Li Zihua.
The joining of the Moon Flame Upper God, the arrival of the Upper God, and the appearance of the Ancient Spirit Emperor, combined with Sovereign Li Zihua's combat power, made the Red Mother face an unprecedented crisis in her life.
The Red Mother was indeed tough and possessed terrifying ability. She had swallowed three Upper Gods and was also a rare god on the Wanggu Continent who did not hide but often appeared.
Between gods, there was devouring, so most gods were unwilling to expose their tracks, like Nine Nether, like the Fish Bone Spirit, like the gods Xu Qing had seen one by one.
Only the Red Mother, relying on her own strength, chose to ignore...
She was not invincible. If she encountered multiple gods joining forces, she would still be in danger.
It was just that the characteristics of gods determined that the possibility of them joining forces was minimal.
But today, this extremely small probability appeared before her.
At this moment, under the siege of two Upper Gods, one Ancient Emperor who was not at his peak, and a Sovereign in a full state, the Red Mother had already fallen into a disadvantage. Thus, the Ancient Heavenly Dao descending at this critical moment was fatal to her.
Especially... the number of Heavenly Daos was wrong!
The Red Mother discovered this, Li Zihua discovered it, the two Upper Gods discovered it, and the Ancient Spirit Emperor's heart and mind fluctuated violently.
He was the cultivator who understood the Ancient Heavenly Dao the best, so he was the first to notice that there was one more Ancient Heavenly Dao!
The Ancient Spirit Emperor was surprised. At the same time, on the ground of the Moon Palace, the Mingnan Shizi and the others were also shocked. In their cognition, the Ancient Heavenly Dao should have been ninety-nine from beginning to end.
They were very clear that they could not have remembered wrong, but now there were one hundred.
And that last Ancient Heavenly Dao to appear was in the form of a baby. Its skin color was green, permeated with countless ancient marks. Its body also grew some sharp thorns, especially its hands which were like claws, looking like they would make people feel cold. However, this one clearly had not grown up yet, crawling a bit slowly, seemingly making a mistake in direction, unable to respond to Li Zihua's summons and locate the descent like the other Ancient Heavenly Daos.
It seemed that this Ancient Heavenly Dao had still been sleeping before this, and it was only because of Li Zihua's summons that its mission as an Ancient Heavenly Dao was triggered, so it awakened. It was dazed, squinting its eyes and crawling by instinct.
But... as it crawled, because of the lack of sense of direction, it was clearly not far from here a moment ago, but the next instant it appeared in a space-time further away, completely deviating from this place, and continued forward without looking back.
This scene made the Mingnan Shizi and the others somewhat stunned.
And although the voices of Xu Qing and the Captain fell into their ears, very few people would associate it with this. The possibility that this son was an Ancient Heavenly Dao was almost non-existent.
At the same time, the suppression of the first ninety-nine Ancient Heavenly Daos had already begun.
One could see their figures charging directly toward the abstract painting, merging into it rapidly, suppressing the Red Mother in a way Xu Qing could not understand.
Instantly, the red within the abstract painting collapsed, began to dim, and even more miserable sounds echoed.
This side was currently fighting, while the giant baby on the edge of the sky was moving away. The Captain and Xu Qing, looking at the giant baby in the sky and watching its receding figure, had rapid breathing. The Captain could not help but shout loudly, "Son, Dad is here!"
Saying this, he also pulled Xu Qing, signaling Xu Qing to call out quickly.
Xu Qing did not hesitate and immediately transmitted his divine sense.
"I am here." The moment the two voices were transmitted, the battle within the abstract painting continued, and the giant baby on the edge of the sky suddenly paused. Its eyes tried to open completely, its head lifted, even its ears were moving, its expression confused.
Seeing this, the Captain's eyes revealed excitement, and he shouted loudly again. Xu Qing also continued to transmit his divine sense to call it.
Thus, soon, the confusion on the giant baby's face was replaced by surprise, as if it had heard and confirmed the voice and direction of its relatives. It turned its body rapidly and crawled quickly toward the place where Xu Qing and the Captain were.
After the direction was confirmed and it sensed its relatives, the giant baby erupted with even more strength. Following the change of heaven and earth, following the wind and clouds, the giant baby appeared on the Red Moon star, appearing in the sky of the Moon Palace.
The moment it crawled here, it turned its head to look at Xu Qing and the Captain, emitting 'yin-ya' sounds from its mouth.
This sound arose, turning into heaven's thunder, booming in all directions, shaking Xu Qing and the Captain until they spat out blood.
Then the giant baby used its two legs to stand up with force, like a giant, running toward Xu Qing and the Captain, as if wanting a hug...
But before it could get close, terrifying fluctuations erupted from its body, forming a storm, as if it could destroy heaven and earth, making Xu Qing and the Captain have to retreat. The Mingnan Shizi and the others were also horrified, retreating one after another.
One could imagine that once it got close, the consequences for everyone would be great.
Seeing this, the Captain was anxious and shouted loudly, "Son, son, don't come over yet, there is a bad woman here, go and hit the bad woman."
"The red one is the bad woman!" The giant baby paused, looking at Xu Qing. Its expression was somewhat aggrieved, and it was about to continue 'yin-ya', but just at this moment, the Red Mother's miserable sound penetrated the sky and echoed outside the abstract painting due to the suppression of the ninety-nine Ancient Heavenly Daos.
This sound penetrated, and the Mingnan Shizi and the others instantly showed signs of collapse. The Captain's body exploded, turning into worms, unable to continue forming.
And although Xu Qing was a divine body, he could not withstand this sharp sound either.
In the blink of an eye, half of his body became fly ash. Although he had the purple crystal to recover, the pain brought by this was like a tide spreading throughout his body.
This scene, falling into the giant baby's eyes, its body trembled instantly, and the expression on its little face was replaced by extreme anger. Clearly, Xu Qing and the Captain's injuries had stirred up anger in the giant baby.
It turned its head suddenly, staring fixedly at the red sound of miserable wailing in the vortex, and crawled rapidly toward that place. In the blink of an eye, it approached, merging into the vortex of the abstract painting.
Its joining made the Red Mother's state even more difficult.
And the Moon Flame Upper God and Star Flame Upper God, as well as the Ancient Spirit Emperor, also seized this opportunity, each unfolding their own divine source, in a way Xu Qing and the others could not understand, making this abstract painting appear static. What was static was not only the painting, but everything in the Moon Palace.
The red instantly became blurry. Rules, laws, space-time, etc., were all, at that moment, as if sealed outside the dust.
Xu Qing and the others' figures and lives were also like this. Everything on the Red Moon star was solidified.
The concept of time was lost, and it was impossible to tell how long had passed. It might have been an instant, or it might have been a lifetime. In short, the next moment, the abstract painting in the sky appeared with cracks in this stillness.
The cracks became the only moving things. They spread, appearing rapidly in the entire painting like a divine tree.
If one looked carefully, one could see these cracks on the red, shattering!
Finally, the painting collapsed silently, and all the red within it vanished into fly ash in the blink of an eye.
A thick sense of sorrow spread within the Moon Palace, spread throughout the Red Moon star, and churned throughout the entire Festival Moon Great Domain, even affecting further away, causing one by one the hidden non-divine creatures and gods to all have a sense of it.
That was caused by the fall of a god. A god had fallen.
And the greatest sorrow was not within the Red Moon star, but in the Nine Nether. At the moment of the god's fall, in the unknown Nine Nether, countless wails were emitted.
The Nine Nether trembled, the ghosts were in chaos, and the sound of sorrow became a storm, whistling there eternally. ===== CHAPTER 667 =====
