1087 Land of the Red Moon
The weather changed.
Everything rumbled.
The hearts of all living beings boiled.
The statue of the ruler that stood on the Repentance Plain had experienced many eras since ancient times. He... finally moved!
His two arms, resembling pillars supporting heaven and earth, exuded a majestic aura. With a force that could destroy the old and bring forth the new, he lifted a mighty wind with the power of his palms.
The wind howled and echoed in the surroundings. The void collapsed in front of his palms, all the rules and laws were reduced to dust by his hands.
They werent the hands of a cultivator, but almost like the hands of a god.
These two giant hands, now, with a resounding echo that shook the ancient and modern, slammed onto the Red Moon Star!
He held It tightly.
His hands fixed the Red Moon Star in the sky.
The thunderous roar rose to the heavens as the Red Moon Star, for the first time in countless years, encountered resistance. It attempted to advance, but the hands of the Ruler Li Zihua remained as steady as a rock!
In an instant, there was intense struggle from both sides.
This shaking caused the Red Moon Star to emit a rumbling sound. The blood light from it shone intensely, and more gravel fell from the statue of Li Zihua.
Gradually, a thunderous heartbeat echoed from the statue.
Thump, thump, thump!
As the heartbeat gradually grew louder, white flames that were even more intense than before erupted from the statue of Ruler Li Zihua and spread in all directions.
From afar, the statue of Li Zihua looked like a huge human-shaped torch.
The light from the fire even surpassed the light emitted by the Red Moon.
Its momentum was violent, sweeping out everywhere.
All areas around the statue were covered by this fire. Only the sky...
The Red Moon Star had replaced the sky and seemed to have become a forbidden area for the white flames!
The crimson light and white flames formed a clear contrast!
Li Zihua had revived.
However, he hadnt woken up yet.
This revival was only the reverberation of aura and heartbeat; his eyes had not fully opened.
However, even so, it was enough to shock the entire Moon Worship Region. It also dissipated a great deal of the gods pressure that had originated from the arrival of the Red Moon Star.
The heir and the others recovered one after another.
The captains body was surrounded by nine golden suns. He stood in the air with madness in his eyes, and salivated as he looked at the Red Moon Star.
As for Xu Qing, it had to be said that the Ancient Spirit Emperor was still a reliable teammate. The cloak He transformed into passively blocked most of the pressure for Xu Qing.
Lets go!
The instant everyone regained their mobility, the heir spoke in a low voice. He quickly rushed out and ran on the arm of his fathers statue, heading straight for the Red Moon Star.
Princess Mingmei followed him by the side, and the fifth princess and Old Eighth followed from behind.
As for Old Ninth, he was the fastest. With just a few steps, he surpassed the heir and seemed to have transformed into a sword tip as he rushed toward the Red Moon.
The captain and Xu Qing were at the back. The two of them also went all out. As the initiators of this battle, they naturally had to go personally.
The rulers revival cant take too long, and its not the moment for him to awaken. We have to step onto the Red Moon Star and enter the Moon Palace.
The moment we see Crimson Goddess is when the ruler will awaken
The captains breathing was hurried and he immediately transmitted his divine sense. Xu Qing nodded and the two of them unleashed their full speed, getting closer and closer to the Red Moon Star.
This battle that was at the level of gods... was about to begin!
However, it wasnt easy to step onto the Red Moon Star.
Even though the Red Moon Star was fixed by the rulers hands, making it impossible for It to leave, and there being a direct path to It now, the oppressive force emanating from the Red Moon Star itself remained terrifying as they approached.
The tidal force emanating from it could tear everything apart.
The void around It was collapsing, cracks continuously appearing. Even the heir and the others found it increasingly difficult to take steps as they neared the Red Moon Star.
It was the same for the captain. Only Old Ninths expression and his footsteps firm as he got closer and closer step by step.
Xu Qing was also unaffected. On one hand, it was the effect of the cloak, but the greater reason was the Red Moon authority in his body.
What was perceived as pressure and hindrance to others felt incredibly familiar to him. The more he advanced, the stronger this sense of familiarity became.
It was as though he was walking into a warm embrace.
After sensing these, Xu Qing immediately circulated the Red Moon Authority in his body, causing it to spread out and illuminate the huge Red Moon Star in front of him. In an instant, the red light became increasingly dazzling.
My Red Moons authority is being enhanced! Xu Qings eyes gleamed red. Blood filled his entire body and spread in all directions, forming a vortex. He moved faster and faster and gradually arrived beside the heir and the others.
At the back was the lonely Chen Erniu...
When the Ancient Spirit Emperor sensed all of this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Theres great karma between this kid and Crimson Goddess...
The captain who was alone at the back became a little anxious when he saw this scene.
This wont do. I have finally found the dignity of being the Eldest Senior Brother in the Moon Worship Region and make Little Qing listen to my command all the way. Now, with the Red Moon right in front of us, if I get left behind... itll be too embarrassing!
While the captain was feeling anxious, the heir and the others exchanged glances. Determination shone in their eyes as they each used a secret technique and opened their mouths, breathing out towards the Red Moon Star in front of them.
Following their actions, Li Zihuas statue below actually trembled intensely. Its tightly shut mouth opened slightly and just like its children, it exhaled toward the Red Moon Star.
The breath turned into white mist, billowing and rushing towards the Red Moon Star. Upon instant contact, a resounding roar that shook the mind echoed through the heavens and the earth. The oppressive force from the Red Moon was surprisingly nullified on a large scale, albeit temporarily. However, this force was in the process of recovering.
Seizing this opportunity, everyone relaxed for a moment and then accelerated rapidly, advancing at full speed. Finally, they arrived before the Red Moon Star, following the left arm of the ruler.
However, on one hand, the Red Moon Star was ancient beyond measure, and on the other hand, this place housed the Palace of Crimson Goddess. Even though the force from the Red Moon was temporarily neutralized by the rulers breath, the aura of Crimson Goddess here turned into clouds and mist, forming a barrier that isolated anything foreign.
Even Ruler Li Zihuas palms could only press down on the barrier, and because the range was too large, he was unable to destroy the barrier.
Seeing this, the captains eyes lit up. Just as he was about to brandish his Suns of Dawn, the heir and the others each raised their left index fingers and pointed at the Red Moon Star.
Their bodies emitted dense bloodline fluctuations.
At the next instant, the rulers statue shook again. His majestic body erupted with astonishing power and he lifted his left hand slightly from the Red Moon Star.
As he raised it, the Red Moon Star rumbled and slowly moved, as though It wanted to continue into the distance.
Xu Qing, the heir, and the others were standing on the huge left hand of the rulers statue. At that moment, their bodies swayed. The instant they each stabilized their bodies, the rulers left hand had already shifted thousands of feet away and paused.
He raised his index finger and stabbed Red Moon Star!
Its speed was so fast and its aura so strong that it seemed like it could destroy the world. There were also white flames burning on this finger, protecting everyone.
Amidst the rumbling, the finger touched the Red Moon Star again and landed on its cloud barrier.
A tremendous sound echoed throughout the entire Moon Worship Region, resounding suddenly. The barrier of clouds and mist directly collapsed, penetrated in an instant by that finger, pressing directly onto the soil of the Red Moon Star.
The entire Red Moon Star trembled.
If one looked up from the surface of this star, they would be able to see that the clouds in the sky above the blood-colored ground were dissipating, revealing a huge hole. A large rough hand pierced through it and its fingertip touched the ground.
Cracks appeared on the ground.
In the horrifying sight, one could see the heir and the others in the white flames around that finger.
They had eventually landed on the Red Moon Star!
This white flame rapidly extinguished and was substituted by the red light emitted by the Red Moon Star.
Xu Qings heart fluctuated. He stood on the finger of the ruler and looked at everything in the surroundings.
In the past, the Red Moon Star could only be seen from afar and sensed. He couldnt step into it at all. But now... he had already appeared on the moon.
The ground was red, and the clouds in the sky were red, red was the only color here.
The ground undulated with mountains and countless depressions and craters. A river of blood flowed everywhere. This Red Moon Star... was indeed a world.
The extremely dense anomalous substances formed all the auras in this world. It was also very difficult to see too far. Everything in sight was distorted.
Amidst the distortion, countless illusory shadows flickered on the Red Moon Star.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that among these figures, there were humans and nonhumans. There were basically figures of all races. Their states were difficult to figure out, but they looked neither alive nor dead.
They didnt seem to have any intelligence. They were like an illusion, maintaining the posture of kneeling while covering their eyes.
What was even stranger was that Xu Qing discovered that every time he blinked, the location of these figures would change. However, if he didnt blink, they would remain in their original spots.
Regarding the appearance of the finger and the arrival of everyone, these figures didnt care at all. They continued to flicker and worship. Their sinister chanting echoed in this land of god.
Red Moon, our lord, guide the Wanggu. Mourn for all living beings, and enjoy paradise.
Sacrificing our bodies for our lord, this life is not painful, with dawn and dusk as the curtain, our bodies remain incorruptible.
Crimson Goddess, our lord, of the illustrious Brilliant Heaven, the Heavenly Dao lies dormant, the ancient path revives.
Sacrificing our souls for our lord, on the other side, there is grace, the melody of eternal joy, and another life awaits.
This chanting, more complete than the prayers in the Red Moon Shrine, did not come from their mouths but resonated from their souls. It echoed endlessly at this moment, boundless and infinite.
