Chapter 946: Nervousness, Regret, and Mental Exhaustion
This voice was faint and ethereal, yet carried an inexplicable chill that fell upon the heart and soul, as if turning them into glaciers!
It felt as if a block of ice had appeared out of thin air within his soul!
This ice radiated waves of coldness, spreading from Xu Qing's soul and affecting all his senses, making him feel as if he had lost all warmth in that instant!
Only coldness remained, piercing through everything!
Every word within it was like a curse, surging through Xu Qing's sea of consciousness along with the cold air; his entire body's divine source lost its vitality in that moment, becoming like stagnant water!
Under this layered reinforcement, the chill seemed destined to become eternal!
This sensation caused Xu Qing's consciousness to stagnate, but in the breath before his consciousness turned blank, Xu Qing used his final shred of divine sense to trigger the Jin Wu within his body!
The next instant, the screech of the Jin Wu echoed within Xu Qing's heart and soul!
This sound was like a summons!
It summoned the sun from within Xu Qing's body!
Thus, Xu Qing's body became like a world, and within that world, a nascent sun rose, illuminating his soul.
Black flames erupted instantly, incinerating the entire area, and ten Profound Yang Immortal Lights followed, blooming with endless light and heat!
In this moment, the sun rose in his sea of consciousness, radiating ten thousand zhang of light!
The moment it touched the formless chill, a soft laugh echoed by Xu Qing's ear!
【948-16】 "Little brother, you must remember my warning. Also, what your companion said is wrong; I am not some 'ghostly thing.' If he curses me again, I will take him away!"
"Little brother, remember my warning, okay? Also, what your companion said is wrong; I am not some ghostly thing. If he insults me again, I will take him away!"
This voice was inexplicable, sounding deeply meaningful. After it faded, whether due to the solar power within Xu Qing or the little girl changing her mind, the chill on Xu Qing's back rapidly dissipated!
The laughter by his ear also drifted away!
The cold was originally his usual method, but this time, the danger seemed unable to suppress Chen Erniu's greed. Even as signs of freezing appeared on his body again, he shivered and swallowed that mouthful of cold air whole!
Yet the next instant, Chen Erniu's expression changed, and he vomited wildly with a 'waa'!
He actually spat out countless withered, rotting hairs!
As soon as those hairs landed, they turned into cold air and dissipated in all directions!
After vomiting for a long time, Chen Erniu finally spat them all out and sat down, trembling with lingering fear!
"Miscalculated. That wasn't cold air; it was a mixture of death energy and corpse energy. It stinks to high heaven and has no benefits at all."
"That thing, what kind of ghostly thi—"
Chen Erniu clutched his stomach and looked toward the ruins behind him. Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Qing hurriedly interrupted him!
"It told me to tell you that if you curse her again, it will take you away!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Erniu gasped and instantly shut his mouth!
Deep down, he was suspicious. He recalled that when the little girl turned her head to look here earlier, he had indeed instinctively thought, 'What kind of ghostly thing is this?'
"Could it be that because of that thought in my heart, it came over?!"
"Is it that petty?"
Chen Erniu hesitated!
And at this moment, Yu Liuchen was even more hesitant than Chen Erniu!
He was hiding in the void, gazing at those ruins with a heavy expression!
What he saw was somewhat different from the scene Xu Qing and the Captain had seen earlier!
Those ruins were not ruins at all!
They were countless hairs coiled together, forming a rotting hairball...
The next instant, the darkness before Xu Qing's eyes, the coldness in his heart and soul, was thoroughly ignited by the flames?
The cold was burned away, and his perception returned!
The moment his vision recovered, Xu Qing breathed rapidly and turned his head abruptly!
Behind him, there was nothing!
Only Chen Erniu was nearby, his body turned into an ice sculpture, motionless!
【948-44】 But heat was radiating from Chen Erniu's body, exuding a tea fragrance that was resisting the cold, gradually melting it. This tea was a gift from Yu Liuchen earlier!
Yet, heat radiated from Chen Erniu's body, diffusing a tea fragrance that resisted the icy cold, gradually melting it. This tea was a gift previously given by Yu Liuchen!
Realizing that the Captain was temporarily safe, Xu Qing suppressed the turmoil in his heart and controlled the Great Wing to speed away!
Finally, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he bypassed the ruin area!
Until he was far away, he looked back with a pale face at the ruins submerged in the darkness in the distance, looming in and out of sight!
His vigilance toward this Outer Sea grew even stronger.
"What kind of god was that?"
Xu Qing felt a palpitation. He had seen many gods, but the feeling that little girl gave him seemed related to gods, yet she was not a god!
"And at the final moment, my Immortal Light might have played a role, but it seemed she was also leaving on her own. Why is that?"
【948-53】 "As for her saying she wasn't the 'ghostly thing' my companion spoke of..."
"As for what it said, that I am not the ghostly thing my companion spoke of..."
Xu Qing fell silent. He glanced at the ice sculpture where the Captain was, raised his hand, and waved, releasing the Immortal Light within his body onto the sculpture!
Gradually, the ice melted. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it finally melted completely. Chen Erniu's eyes snapped open, and the first thing he did was open his mouth and inhale sharply toward the cold air melting from the ice!
Under this inhalation, Chen Erniu shuddered; frost formed on his eyebrows and hair, which then withered, and a foul stench spread throughout the place!
As for the little girl, she was a figure woven from a large gathering of hair, exuding endless evil, and she was looking at Yu Liuchen!
"I don't know if it's Xu Qing's uniqueness or that ox's peculiarity that attracted this thing..."
After hesitating, Yu Liuchen chose harmony, so he separated
a wisp of his own divine source, turned it into a cup of tea, and sent it floating before the little girl!
"Please, have some tea!"
The little girl grinned, and a large amount of hair radiated from her body, wrapping around
the teacup before she merged back into the hairball ruins and disappeared!
Just like that, time passed again!
Although Chen Erniu had vomited a lot, he clearly still had an upset stomach. For the next half month, his entire body turned black, and rotting long hair grew from him!
At his worst, his whole person was surrounded by hair; even after taking off his clothes, it gave people the feeling of wearing fur?
And no matter how he shaved, it wouldn't come off!
But one had to admit that Chen Erniu's mentality was indeed extraordinary. Aside from being a bit distressed at first, he seemed to have gotten used to it in the following days, and even felt a bit proud!
"Little Ah Qing, I feel that these hairs possess decent protection. Covering my whole body is like wearing a fur armor."
"And it's very warm."
"Not bad, not bad. When they grow a bit longer, I'll find a way to cut them off and send them to the Clothing Clan to weave for me. When the time comes, I might be able to sell them for a high price."
Chen Erniu touched the hair on his body, his eyes glowing!
"And I've discovered that ever since these hairs grew on me, our journey has been much safer. Look, we haven't encountered any danger since then."
"It's a pity that the pressure here is severe, and we can't sustain flight for too long. Otherwise, if we flew from the sky, we could travel much faster!"
Xu Qing couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Chen Erniu's chatter and closed his eyes to meditate. Just as Chen Erniu was about to continue showing off, Xu Qing's eyes snapped open, and Chen Erniu's voice also paused!
They looked toward the distance in unison!
The heaven and earth in the distance from the Great Wing were originally pitch black, but at this
moment, a sun actually rose from the sea!
That sun was huge and vast. The moment it appeared, the firmament brightened, and the seawater rippled, refracting the great sun, causing the light of the sky and sea to reflect and illuminate all directions!
This light was blood-colored, like a sunset!
Xu Qing's heart shook, and Chen Erniu's eyes widened, but they soon discovered that what had risen might not be the sun!
Because... in another direction, at this moment, a second
great sun was rising from the sea!
It didn't end there; further away, a third one appeared!
Then the fourth, the fifth, the sixth... the world became brighter and brighter. Finally, within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, there were actually more than thirty suns all rising into the sky.
Each had light of varying intensity!
And the light they radiated couldn't cover too far, unable to cover the entire
Outer Sea, only illuminating parts of the area!
As for the heat they radiated, there was none at all!
Even more bizarrely, these rising suns quickly fell again, intersecting without any rules, sometimes rising, sometimes sinking into the sea!
Thus, the light in the Outer Sea within their range flickered between bright and dark!
The strange quality grew richer, and the aura of the gods became increasingly viscous!
Until the next instant, amidst the violent turmoil in Xu Qing and Chen Erniu's hearts, the center of the sun closest to them among the thirty-plus suns suddenly split open a crack!
Then, the crack spread and opened and closed!
Like an eye.
To be precise, it was indeed an eye, as if it had opened from a deep sleep, currently gazing at the Great Wing where Xu Qing and Chen Erniu were!
The moment the gaze landed, the Great Wing roared and began to disintegrate. The distortion radiating from this gaze also directly affected Xu Qing and Chen Erniu!
Their bodies immediately began to alienate!
In horror, Chen Erniu shivered, and his voice became
sharper!

"Ah Qing, hurry and follow me in the sacrificial dance! This is the dream of some unknown god. This god is terrifying; the dream is half-real."
As he spoke, Chen Erniu immediately began to dance, his body hair swinging back and forth, performing the sacrificial dance specifically for gods!
His mouth was chanting sacrificial words!
Xu Qing didn't dare to be slow either; he immediately stood up and performed the sacrificial dance with the Captain.
Regarding the dreams of gods, Chen Erniu, who in his past life was a great sacrificial dancer of the Sacrificial Moon Domain, was clearly more proficient. Currently, amidst this dancing, that sun-like eye paused in mid-air, as if its attention had been attracted!
Time passed bit by bit. Three hours later, that huge eye slowly closed and, along with the other sun-eyes, sank beneath the sea and disappeared!
Xu Qing didn't hesitate at all and immediately controlled the now tattered Great Wing to speed away from this area, submerging back into the center of the darkness!
A long time later, after sensing no other abnormalities, Xu Qing and Chen Erniu on the Great Wing breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly!
"Little Ah Qing, do you think that guy Yu Liuchen is still there?"
"I feel it's too dangerous here. I guess Yu Liuchen must have caught a fish too. Why don't we go back?"
Xu Qing pondered for a moment, looked around, and nodded!
"We'll head back. If Senior Yu Liuchen is unwilling, he will appear to inform us."
"That's right. If he hasn't appeared, it means he tacitly allows us to leave!"
Chen Erniu agreed rapidly. After the two looked at each other again, they changed the direction of the Great Wing without hesitation and moved toward the Inner Sea!
And at this moment, the Yu Liuchen they were thinking about was on the seabed.
On the seabed, those thirty-plus suns that had sunk earlier
had returned to their original appearance, densely crowded together!
These were indeed thirty-plus huge eyes, and there were some blurry fine lines connecting them!
They looked like grapes!
They were currently gazing at Yu Liuchen!
Yu Liuchen fell silent!
Deep in his heart, he had already started cursing!
He had been to the Outer Sea before, and he had explored it many times!
Although the Outer Sea was mysterious and many areas felt dangerous even to him, the Outer Sea was vast after all. Under its vastness,
as long as he didn't head into the depths, he rarely encountered existences that required him to offer tea!
But this time, it was different!
The little girl could be called a coincidence, but this one before him—he remembered that it usually only inhabited the depths of the Outer Sea. Yet now, it had actually appeared here.
One had to know that this place was still very far from the depths!!!
It belonged to the near-sea area of the Outer Sea!
"I brought them here to fish, but how can one fish so chaotically?"
Yu Liuchen felt helpless. He sighed in his heart, raised his hand, and took out a cup of tea to send over!
"Please, have some tea!"
Those grape-like eyes all squinted, radiating branch-like tentacles that coiled around the teacup, then slowly sank into the seabed and drifted away into the distance!
Yu Liuchen felt mentally exhausted!
Sensing Xu Qing and the other leaving, he hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose not to stop them!
"Near-sea is near-sea. I hope the next period of time can be more stable so I can smoothly fish out that returning True God. I can feel that that person is already moving!"
"And, he is very weak..."
Anticipation rose in Yu Liuchen's heart!
It was just that his anticipation existed with a huge discrepancy from reality. It seemed that this god, whose story was divine power, had his story affected and distorted here in the Outer Sea!
The reason might be a sentence from Chen Erniu on the silent Outer Sea several days later!
"Ah Qing, I've recalled over the past few days. With the little girl, it was because I cursed her in my heart, and with the suns, it seems it was because I said we were very safe."
On the Great Wing, Chen Erniu looked at Xu Qing with a heavy expression!
"In this Outer Sea, it seems my words
can form a strange power."
"Could the ancient legend be true?"
Xu Qing looked at Chen Erniu upon hearing this, his expression also becoming solemn, because throughout this journey, he had actually been pondering similar questions, though what he thought of wasn't the Captain, but his own identity as the Jin Wu!
He always felt that after stepping into the Outer Sea, there was an ancient gaze looming, watching him!
Hearing Chen Erniu's words now, Xu Qing asked!
"What legend?"
Chen Erniu took a deep breath!
"Legend has it that the Outer Sea has a master. This master was incomparably handsome, the first in heaven and earth, graceful and elegant, with countless concubines, and he himself was primitive and ancient, vast and divine. But one day, he grew tired of being invincible, so he left this sea!"
"Before leaving, he left a sentence: 'When I return, all gods must come to worship me!'"
Chen Erniu coughed!
Xu Qing had been listening very seriously at first, but soon he sensed something was wrong!
"Captain, where did this legend come from?"
"I said it!"
Chen Erniu chuckled and shook the hair all over his body!
"Just a joke, haha. I saw everyone was too nervous these past few days. Rest assured, rest assured. I've calculated the path we came by; we've walked this sea area before, it's safe."
Before Chen Erniu could finish his sentence, a sudden change occurred. A loud roar suddenly came from the Great Domain they were in, which was extremely abrupt in the silent Outer Sea!
And the sea surface surged with huge waves!
Like a tsunami!
This was also a situation that had never occurred before!
Xu Qing's heart shook, and Chen Erniu's eyes widened, gasping for air!
The two didn't hesitate at all and immediately wanted to control the Great Wing to rise briefly to avoid the waves on the sea surface. But the next instant, the sea surface in this area actually looked downward. So now, one could clearly see that the sea surface in this area was rising in a circle, the range was huge, and the Great Wing where Xu Qing and Chen Erniu were was just a dot!
And that rising circular sea, as it rose and became clearer, was actually a bowl!
This sea area was actually a sea in a bowl!
A multi-armed sea monster the size of a province revealed part of its figure from the sea!
Heart-stopping, shaking heaven and earth!
It was too big.
Each of its hands held some items, and the one held by one of the hands was exactly... the bowl-sea where Xu Qing and Chen Erniu were!
It was currently moving forward!
Xu Qing and Chen Erniu's hearts roared, not daring to move a single bit!
And clearly, their existence was insignificant to that terrifying sea monster, like dust. So after several hours passed, that huge sea monster sank back into the sea and disappeared!
Sinking along with it was that bowl!
On the Great Wing, Xu Qing and Chen Erniu were pale!
In the void in the distance, Yu Liuchen was also pale!
"The two of them have big problems. Otherwise, such small bait couldn't possibly attract such an ancient existence."
"I brought them here to fish, but I didn't mean to fish for such fish."
Yu Liuchen felt that if they continued to be free-ranged like this, these two might attract even more terrifying existences. By then, his fish wouldn't have come yet, and the bait as well as himself, the fisherman, would likely perish first!
Thinking of this, Yu Liuchen didn't hesitate anymore. His body disappeared instantly, and when he appeared, he was on the Great Wing where Xu Qing and Chen Erniu were!
Seeing Yu Liuchen, Xu Qing and Chen Erniu's hearts were in turmoil, each feeling guilty, and they immediately paid their respects!
"No need to pay respects. I'll take you away!"
"Ah?"
Didn't you tell us to walk by ourselves?
Chen Erniu spoke hurriedly!
"If you continue to walk by yourselves, I'm afraid you'll encounter an existence that can swallow me in one bite!"
Yu Liuchen didn't want to waste time. As he spoke, he raised his hand, swept up Xu Qing and Chen Erniu, and stepped into the firmament!
"Senior is joking. With Senior here, how could we encounter an existence that could swallow us in one bite?"
Just as Chen Erniu said this, Xu Qing gasped, his scalp tingling a bit. He thought of the terrifying nature of the Captain's words earlier and was about to warn Yu Liuchen!
The next instant, Yu Liuchen suddenly looked up, his expression changing drastically!
Xu Qing and Chen Erniu also sensed the abnormality at this moment and looked up!
"Why has the sky turned red!"
Chen Erniu muttered, his eyes widening, completely panicked!
"Can my words really do this in the Outer Sea?"
And for Xu Qing, besides horror, there were other senses!
He felt that since he stepped into the Outer Sea, that looming gaze seemed, at this moment, clearer.
The next instant, the sky fell.
It seemed some earth-shattering existence had opened its huge mouth...
Or rather, this existence had already opened its huge mouth, and was currently swallowing!
