In the Kusheng Mountains, the battlefield is brutal, and death comes every moment. The sea of blood on the ground dries up, forming a huge pit.
Skyfire enveloped it and spread throughout the sky.
The statue from the Niyue Palace, with the blessing of this domain treasure, has astonishing combat power.
Even though he died, in the next moment, with the vibration of the Counter Moon Palace, from the temple inside the mirror, the dead Counter Moon Cultivator once again walked out, rushed into the battlefield, and continued to fight.
In this way, even if the Red Moon monk launches the curse method, the existence of the Counter-Moon Palace can suppress it in a short time, causing the war to quickly tilt towards the side of the Counter-Moon Palace.
Each of the more than twenty ancient monks from the unsealed era is a proud person of this era. While their methods are strange, their own killing experience is also extremely rich.
They often possess the power to suppress those in the same realm. Wherever they pass, the strong ones of Red Moon have to retreat.
The pressure on the Emperor's side is also huge. He has to face the two strongest unsealed monks in the Niyue Palace, especially the foreign female Divine Bird. The flames sublimate in her hands and the colors change.
Every time she changed, the power became more astonishing. Her attack caused the heaven and earth to burn together, and it also carried the power of Yun Shen, making even the emperor and the emperor frightened.
But if it was just this one person, the emperor could still deal with it, but the presence of Li Xiaoshan gave him an astonishing sense of oppression.
Li Xiaoshan's knife did not fall all the time. He walked around the palace, dragging the knife and turning it continuously. With the clattering sound, his speed was astonishing.
And often, every slash of the sword would shatter the void, forming a terrifying sword light, which would make the Emperor's heart become more solemn the more it hit him.
"This battle is not suitable to continue!"
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, raised his right hand and pointed toward his side. A shadow of the illusory world formed in front of his finger, blocking the incoming long sword.
In the midst of the roar, the emperor grabbed the sky with his left hand, and the red mother shed her body and reappeared.
His return caused the heaven and earth to twist, and the battlefield was shaken. At the same time, Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. What he was preventing in the Niyue Palace was the mortal transformation of the Red Mother.
At this moment, seeing the Red Mother Mortal Transformation fall again, Xu Qing immediately released his authority, and the captain also did the same. With their identity as the masters of the Counter-Moon, the two of them controlled the Counter-Moon Palace, making the huge mirror shine with bright light.
This light goes in all directions, resisting the power of Red Mother's mortal transformation.
The two sides touched again, the sound was deafening, and a storm swept across the sky. In the turmoil, the monks fighting on both sides separated under the violent force and retreated.
Xu Qing's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he was about to control the Niyue Palace to show off the power of the Domain Treasure, but at this moment, the wind fell from the sky.
This wind carried the smell of blood and filled the battlefield in an instant. Along with the wind came a strange sound, like whispering in everyone's ears.
"Once upon a time there was a big baby..."
This sound was the strange nursery rhyme echoing in the Temple of the Son of God. This was not the first time Xu Qing heard it. He had heard it before in that village when he rescued Fifth Grandma.
What impressed him most was the last sentence.
"The four babies are lost and cannot be brought back."
These words came from all directions, and the sky reversed itself at this moment, turning red again. Gradually, a lake of blood appeared on the sky like a projection.
The blood lake was churning, as if there was some terrifying existence inside that wanted to crawl out.
The terrifying aura also fell on the battlefield at this moment.
Xu Qing and the captain's expressions changed at the same time, and Niyue Xiu's expressions were even more so. Everyone's mind was in an endless state of mind in an instant, even those strong men who had been unsealed were like this.
The knife in Li Xiaoshan's hand paused slightly.
The fire of Shenquezi flickered slightly.
Their expressions were extremely solemn, staring at the sky and the bloody lake.
Compared to them, the cultivators of Hongyue were all relieved, but the emperor frowned and looked at the blood lake, not knowing what he was thinking.
But at this moment, a voice suppressed the nursery rhyme, and it exploded like muffled thunder.
That's the sound of a heartbeat.
Thump, thump!
The appearance of this sound immediately caused many Niyue monks to scream in agony, and the statues collapsed uncontrollably, as if the sound could shatter everything if heard.
Immediately afterwards, as the blood lake in the sky became more and more turbulent, a big black hand covered with tentacles slowly stretched out from the inside, accompanied by earth-shattering pressure, which shocked the world.
The seven fingers of this hand are covered with bone spurs, and the tentacles are swaying even more. The sky collapses wherever it passes. It seems to be falling slowly at the moment, but in fact it is getting bigger.
Unable to resist, unstoppable.
The appearance of this big hand caused the place to rise strangely, and everyone had to retreat to avoid it.
Finally, this god-like black hand grasped the void where the Red Moon Monk was.
This also includes the Emperor of the Palace and the Red Mother Fanshen, who are all caught in the grasp of this big black hand and enveloped by it.
Then, it slowly rose, taking a group of people with it, and submerged into the sky's blood lake.
Its arrival cannot be stopped, and its departure cannot be stopped.
Everyone, including Xu Qing and the captain, could only watch the big hand disappear into the blood lake, until a pair of golden eyes appeared in the blood lake, looking indifferently towards the earth and into the distance across the lake.
In the sky.
Then, the golden eyes closed, and the projection of the blood lake on the sky disappeared.
This battle is over.
When the sky recovered, the pressure and restraint from the hand of the god immediately disappeared, but the waves in everyone's hearts and minds did not stop. On the contrary, it was because of those golden eyes that everyone was instinctively suppressed.
"Who is that..."
The monks of Niyue Palace were silent, but this question instinctively emerged in their hearts.
In fact, they all have the answer, but they can't believe it.
"Son of God..." Li Xiaoshan said hoarsely.
"The Sons of God I saw in my time were not so scary." Shen Quezi frowned and spoke slowly.
"The feeling he gave me was that I was infinitely close to the gods."
It's quiet all around.
Obviously this was a victory, but the appearance of the hands of the Son of Blood Lake made all living beings here feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness, so they all instinctively looked at Xu Qing and Er Niu.
But soon, some disappointment and helplessness appeared in these eyes.
Although the Lord of Niyue appeared in Niyue Palace, this Lord... is too weak in cultivation.
One Ling Zang and one Nascent Soul.
With such a level of cultivation, how can he serve as the Lord of the Moon Counter-Moon, and how can he lead the monks of the Counter-Moon Palace on this heaven-defying path...
Not to mention that the red moon and stars in the distance have already occupied most of the sky. In a month or two at most, the Red Mother will really arrive.
At that time, facing the devouring of the Red Mother, all living beings could only feel bitter and without any hope.
Even though the two Lords of the Counter Moon have the authority, their cultivation cannot convince the public, and it is difficult for people to follow them from the bottom of their hearts. So gradually, the monks of the Counter Moon moved their eyes away from Xu Qing.
Some looked at the fourth hall master, some looked at the third hall master, some approached Li Xiaoshan, and some gathered around Shenquezi.
This also includes those unblocked geniuses.
Although they were unblocked, they were still complicated and unconvinced by the Lord of the Counter Moon. In the final analysis, they believed that Xu Qing was not qualified enough.
"Thank you very much, Lord Moon, for allowing me and my subordinates to enter the Niyue Palace at the critical moment, but please give me your blessing. I want to return to Beiyuan and spend the rest of my life together with the people there."
The third hall master looked at Xu Qing and spoke calmly.
Xu Qing was silent, and the fourth hall master frowned, took a few steps, and heard a low voice.
"Three Halls, now that the Lord has emerged against the moon, it is the time for us to rise. You..."
"Fourth, is there any hope?" The third hall master sighed softly, with a tired face, interrupting the fourth hall master's words.
"With Moon Master's cultivation and qualifications, we cannot fight against Hong Yue. Even I don't know the origin of this Moon Master. Maybe he is not a cultivator in this domain."
As soon as these words came out, many Niyue cultivators were startled and suspicious. When the third hall master said this, he looked at Xu Qing.
"Lord of the Moon, please spread your blessings. If you don't want to, just seal me."
His words showed his attitude. He would not resist Xu Qing, but he did not agree.
After the Third Hall Master finished speaking, there were tens of thousands of Niyue Palace monks behind him, all bowing their heads. They were the Third Hall Master's subordinates and had followed him all the way. Naturally, they had chosen the same path as him at this moment.
"Me too."
"Lord Moon, now that things have come to this, there is no point anymore."
Among the monks who were unsealed, there were seven or eight who spoke calmly.
Li Xiaoshan opened his mouth to say something, but glanced at Xu Qing and Er Niu and finally sighed.
My cultivation level is too low.
Shen Quezi had no expression on his face and said nothing.
The fourth hall master was breathing heavily. He looked at Xu Qing and suddenly walked over and stood firmly beside Xu Qing.
More Niyue monks did not move at this moment. They also hesitated in their hearts and chose to wait and see.
Seeing this, the captain raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but Xu Qing took a step forward and looked at the third hall master.
"It is true that my cultivation level is not enough, and I am not a cultivation expert in this area."
As soon as Xu Qing's words came out, there was an uproar among the surrounding counter-moon monks. For an outsider to become the master of the counter-moon, this in itself made it somewhat unacceptable for these counter-moon monks.
"You are indeed not from this domain." The master of the third palace looked at Xu Qing and spoke in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter whether he is a local monk or not. He is the Moon Lord who can turn the tide at the critical moment!" The fourth hall master looked solemn and his voice was low and firm.
The three palace masters shook their heads after hearing this.
"I won't argue with you about this matter. It is true that Lord Yue has contributed, but he is not qualified enough and his reputation is even less. I am not convinced, my subordinates are not convinced, and many fellow Taoists in Niyue Palace are also hard to believe.
"
"Rather than continue like this, I feel regretful."
The third palace master shook his head, turned around and walked towards Niyue Palace, he wanted to choose to return.
Behind him, his subordinates accompanied him, and many of the monks from the Niyue Palace around him sighed secretly and walked towards the Niyue Palace in silence.
In these last two months, instead of following a spiritual treasure without hope, it is better to count your past silently in a quiet place at the end of your life.
As for the possibility of sealing it in the Niyue Palace to avoid the catastrophe, everyone is not stupid. They know that this is unrealistic. Otherwise, why would there be only one clone of the Divine Bird in this era?
This is obviously a qualification that only the Moon Master possesses.
The atmosphere was depressing, and people in the crowd were walking toward the Moon-Reverse Palace one after another.
There were also some followers of Master Danjiu inside, including the statue of a tall man belonging to a neighbor's woman. They did not see the master in the statue this time, and felt sad in their hearts. They knew that the master had died, so they could not be attracted.
And at the moment when these people walked towards Niyue Palace, Xu Qing's voice echoed calmly.
"You said that my cultivation is not enough, I can accept it, but you said that I am not qualified enough and my reputation is not enough... I want to ask a question."
"I will use the sea of heavenly fire to break the seal of the Crown Prince and revive Princess Shi Mingmei of the northern ice field. Is that enough?"
"If it's not enough, Black Centipede Mountain will help the fifth princess escape, and the clan will help the Eighth Prince unblock him. Are these enough?"
As soon as Xu Qing's words came out, all the monks who were walking towards the Niyue Palace were shocked, their expressions changed suddenly, and they all turned to look at Xu Qing. At this moment, their minds exploded like thunder, roaring continuously.
The master of the third hall also stopped and looked at Xu Qing with bright eyes.
"You were able to appear in the Kusheng Mountains. I also have speculations about this matter. Saving the master's children is a great achievement of our generation, but your appeal, Lord Yue, is still not enough."
After Xu Qing listened, his face was expressionless. With a wave of his right hand, all the disguises on his body disappeared, revealing his true appearance, and he spoke calmly.
"According to me, a few months ago, I promoted the spirit of resistance in the place where I dominate the gods, calling on all living beings not to give up hope, and let a single spark start a prairie fire. Is it enough?"
After saying that, as the sky fluctuated and the light shone, a vast God-Slaying Platform roared out and stood behind Xu Qing. From a distance, it looked so majestic that it shook the world.
The eyes of the three hall masters were focused, and the expressions of all the cultivators of the counter-moon here were changing. They were all looking at Xu Qing's face and the God-Slaying Platform. The images that had appeared in their minds a few months ago were now remembered again.
Exactly the same!
"It's him!!"
"The one calling us is actually the Moon Lord!"
"This... the scene from back then made us rise from despair!"
The uproar broke out uncontrollably under the turmoil in everyone's minds.
The captain's words also echoed at this time.
"It's interesting. Are you saying that we don't have enough qualifications and reputation?"
"Based on the fact that I was in this domain in my previous life and I bit Chi Mu once, is that enough?"
"I was once a great sacrificial dancer and rebelled against the Red Moon. Is that enough?"
"Is it enough for the Red Moon Temple to cut my body into five pieces and use my organs to support the temple?"
The captain's words, together with the ripples caused by Xu Qing, echoed like a hundred thousand thunders in the world at this moment.
It shakes the minds of all living beings here, causing all those who practice counter-moon to have a drastic change in their expressions and shortness of breath.
The masters of the three halls also had violent fluctuations in their minds. Li Xiaoshan, Shen Quezi, and the rest of the people who had been unsealed all looked moved.
Finally, Xu Qing raised his head, glanced at the monks from Niyue Palace around him, and spoke softly.
"Is it enough for me to plunder a ray of red moon origin from the Red Mother and turn it into my own power?"
"Is it enough for me to make countless elixirs for the cultivator Niyue and relieve you and others from the pain of the curse?"
"Also, you said that my reputation is not enough... So with my identity as Danjiu, is that enough?"
