Chapter 470: An Eye Hidden in the Canopy of Heaven
The Underworld River water was pitch black. As it flowed, countless faces could be seen floating within it, letting loose eternal howls of grief. In life, they had been members of the Ancient Spirit species. But they had been cursed, thus making it impossible for them to rest in peace after death. Instead, they wallowed in endless anguish. They had long since lost any form of intelligence, and only had their instincts left. That was their tormented existence.
Their cries were piercing and mournful. Most who heard that cry would feel extremely uncomfortable, to the point where it would eventually destabilize their mind. But Xu Qing got used to it after about a day.
Right now, he was on the river looking up at the dome of heaven. In the misty, evening-like sky, his violet moon sent out violet moonlight. Surrounding the moon like a veil was a cloud of poison. As he looked at the moon, the corresponding heavenly palace within him operated at full force, causing a violet light to glimmer in his eyes that was like a reflection of the moon.
Eventually, he looked back toward the depths of the Underworld River, which pulsed with terrifying fluctuations. Although the source was far away, he still felt deep apprehension. Only gods could create a feeling like this within Xu Qing.
Is Emperor Ancient Spirit... actually not dead? Xu Qing thought back to when he’d descended to this major world, and the gargantuan snake he’d seen.
There had only been a single major world on that snake, which made it very clear that it was in only the first stage of the Smoldering God level. There was no way someone in that level could have conquered all of Revered Ancient.You'll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★
Such doubts didn’t cause Xu Qing to slow down. Instead, he accelerated.
Three days passed.
During that time, roughly ten percent of the sky over this world had become violet. As a result, the lands below looked increasingly violet. And as Xu Qing continued on his way, his own mutagen built up around him. Gradually, a violet mist surrounded him, spreading out continuously. From a distance, it looked like an inauspicious entity was arriving surrounded by an insidious cloud.
This was the first time Xu Qing had used the violet power in this way. Because of the violet moon, the deceased souls in this major world began to behave differently. They were increasingly crazed.
The invasion of the violet moon was provoking the curse within them.
During the three days that passed, Xu Qing encountered many strong zombies and vicious souls. The souls in the Underworld River were different from the ones he had encountered on his journey through the wastelands before.
They had personal territories, and as long as they didn’t leave them, they were completely undying. But what that meant was that as long as Xu Qing kept his distance, they wouldn’t chase him. After coming to realize that, he didn’t waste time tangling with them. He just avoided them.
Xu Qing staggered backward several dozen meters, his pupils constricting. There was something extremely gruish about this zombie. He seemed capable of drawing power from the Underworld River. From what Xu Qing could sense, he had the strength of the early Nascent Soul stage, similar to Chu Tianqun.
As Xu Qing fell back, the hellspirit bloodwing appeared behind him. With its dramatic boost of speed he tried to circle around the zombie. Considering the zombie’s immense strength and gruish abilities, Xu Qing didn’t want to waste time fighting him. Besides, he had the feeling he would need the power of the violet moon later, and didn’t want to waste it too soon.
However, as Xu Qing tried to speed past, the zombie turned and looked at him. The phoenix flapped its wings, giving it a burst of astonishing speed. It shot directly in front of Xu Qing like a lightning bolt.
Xu Qing frowned as he again circled around and then sped on his way. However, the zombie wasn’t ready to give up, and chased after him, howling as he prepared a deadly attack.
Xu Qing’s eyes flickered coldly. He waved his hand, causing thirty demonization symbols to fly out. He also activated his seventh heavenly palace. The symbols burned, and the Ghost Emperor rumbled into existence. The mere presence of the Ghost Emperor caused everything to tremble in the area. Water exploded and massive pressure weighed down.
“Screw off!” Xu Qing said, his eyes as cold as ice. He really didn’t want to be entangled with this opponent, but it looked like he would have to waste some time to destroy him.
The zombie sensed danger and suddenly stopped in place. Then it dropped down into the Underworld River, where it glared up at Xu Qing. The water seethed around the zombie.
Xu Qing looked at it coldly, then turned and sped off.
The zombie watched Xu Qing go, hesitated for a moment, then sank back down into the water.
That zombie must have been a top chosen when he was alive! Xu Qing put away the Ghost Emperor mountain, then blurred further along toward the depths of the Underworld River.
A day later, which was his fifth in this major world, he finally reached the end of the river. There, he saw an enormous black palace. It was bigger than the county capital! Despite being dilapidated and falling apart, it emanated shocking pressure. Xu Qing got the sense that it was something from the profoundly ancient past. It was like some imperial palace that had existed in forgotten times.
Boundless soul fluctuations emerged from within it, and it pulsed with an incredibly strong aura of death. What was more, in the depths of the palace there were mounds of black flesh that formed something like a mountain. Atop that mountain of flesh hovered a group of a few hundred souls, which were apparently some sort of offering.
Beyond the souls, on the horizon, was a rift some several thousand meters wide. From the look of it... it was an eye hidden in the canopy of heaven. Though the eye was closed, it emanated godly might that caused everything in the area to ripple and distort.
Waves of shock filled Xu Qing as he looked at the mountain of flesh in the imperial palace, as well as the hundreds of souls. He was still a great distance away, but from the tug of the golden thread, he knew for a certainty... that Ling’er’s soul was right there!
