Chapter 1527: Awaken, My Warriors
Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios
At this moment, it was raining in the countless worlds formed by the fragmented memories of Great Emperor Nether Flame.
It landed on all the people who entered.
Whether it was Lin Kun or cultivators of the West Demon Feather, none of them could escape the rain.
As time passed, the rain intensified, pouring down in torrents, turning every realm into a realm of rain.
Within these rain-formed veils, the dark and deathly grave world emerged in every realm.
This lasted until it replaced everything.
It was like devouring.
It caused all the memory fragments to transform into… tombs one after another!
When Xu Qing opened his eyes, he had no idea where he was. He lay there, surrounded by darkness and a pervasive dampness. At the same time, it felt as if his cultivation senses had vanished.
He could only make a judgment based on the sense of touch.
When he touched around, he felt cold wood.
It was the same for his surroundings and his body.
It was narrow and long, and he couldn’t sit up.
“This is a coffin!”
Xu Qing’s heart was solemn.
“It started raining heavily on the desolate star where Eldest Senior Brother was. That rain was bizarre. After it formed a curtain of rain, a dim world appeared inside.”
“In this world, countless tombstones are faintly discernible…”
“Then at this moment, am I in one of the tombs?”
“Both cultivation base and cultivation senses are suppressed.”
“Then, my current image is Nether Flame?”
Xu Qing placed his right hand on his face, and after feeling around, his pupils contracted.
It wasn’t Nether Flame, nor was it Xue Chenzi.
What he touched was the face of his main body!
“This world is bizarre.”
Xu Qing mumbled and punched fiercely at the coffin lid above.
When this punch landed, the coffin shook and a crack appeared.
However, as soon as this crack appeared, a sealing power gathered on it, causing the crack to instantly close.
Xu Qing used his fingers to sense this. He couldn’t be bothered to waste his stamina. In the sea of consciousness in his body, the divine authority of fate shone and transformed into a carving knife that flew out of his body, slashing at the coffin above.
With this slash, the sound of a mirror shattering echoed.
After that, the feeling of being sealed instantly dissipated by a huge extent. As for Xu Qing, his perception and cultivation base that were sealed also mostly returned.
With Its status as the supreme divine authority, there were very few seals in the world that the fate carving knife couldn’t affect.
After the knife slash, Xu Qing punched again.
A muffled sound rang out.
It echoed in the coffin and also passed through, echoing in the outside world.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The rain continued to fall and the muffled rumbling from the ground became the only sound in this originally silent scene.
The ground was pitch-black and the space between heaven and earth was also endless black.
One could only vaguely see endless grave mounds on the ground.
This was a graveyard.
A cold intent permeated the air and a sinister feeling spread.
It was only when the muffled rumbling sounds from one of the tombs grew increasingly intense that the tomb suddenly trembled and caved in.
Immediately after, a hand stretched out from the mud that was scattered by the rain!
If this scene was seen by the timid mortals outside, they would definitely be shaken, but it was somewhat common in the cultivation world.
Very soon, Xu Qing crawled out of the mud.
The moment he appeared, Xu Qing felt a strong sense of vigilance. He looked around the graveyard in the rain.
What he saw was all black, all gravestones and mounds.
The darkness here was bizarre. Even his divine consciousness couldn’t penetrate too far and could only see a thousand feet in the surroundings.
Those grave mounds were like malicious ghosts, emitting an ominous aura.
All of this caused Xu Qing’s vigilance to rise to the extreme.
Just as he was observing his surroundings closely, a muffled boom echoed in the distance.
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed as he carefully moved closer to the source of the sound. He only stopped when he reached the edge of the range of his divine consciousness and stared at it carefully.
A long time later, under his attention, an even louder sound echoed from the tomb. After that, the soil of the tomb caved in and a golden light rushed out.
Within the golden light was a little golden rat!
However, it wasn’t Xu Qing’s one. It seemed to have just been born and was trying to devour this space.
However, it was obvious that it was very difficult for the newborn to bite through the space here. Hence, after biting a few times, the little golden rat became a little anxious.
The moment he saw this rat, Xu Qing heaved a sigh of relief inwardly and headed straight for the sunken grave.
When he got close, Xu Qing saw Erniu’s main body struggling to crawl out.
“What kind of place is this?!”
As Erniu crawled, he spat out soil. He, who had returned to his original appearance, was still in a sorry state and felt incomparably depressed.
It had not been easy for him to conquer that star and obtain the inheritance of death. However, just as he was laughing wildly and proudly, he was actually devoured by the rain.
In the past, he was the one doing the devouring, and the times he was devoured were few.
Let alone by rain…
This made Erniu very unhappy. As he crawled out, he also noticed Xu Qing approaching. Hence, he climbed out even faster.
Before Xu Qing got close, he had completely crawled out. After tidying his hair, he lifted his chin and was about to speak.
However, at this moment… Erniu’s expression suddenly changed.
Xu Qing, who was speeding over, also stopped in his tracks. His expression also changed. Together with Erniu, he abruptly raised his head.
A terrifying pressure silently and extremely abruptly descended at this moment.
As the pressure descended, the surrounding tombstones all rumbled. All of them seemed to be squeezed and even the rain couldn’t fall, as though it was blocked.
Xu Qing and Erniu’s minds stirred greatly.
This was because the strength of this pressure had already surpassed the Soul Accumulation realm and reached the Ruler realm.
Moreover, it wasn’t an ordinary Ruler.
Hence, under this pressure, Xu Qing and Erniu’s breathing became hurried, as though they were frozen on the spot.
And above them, there was something floating.
It was an astonishing head that was a hundred thousand feet large!
From its appearance, it looked similar to humans but its skin was gray. When it opened its eyes, they revealed coldness.
At that moment, it was floating above Xu Qing and Erniu, blocking the rain as it stared at them.
Compared to it, Xu Qing and Erniu were too small, like ants. Very soon, this bizarre head that made them feel horror retracted its gaze and looked at this graveyard.
A scene that caused Xu Qing and Erniu’s scalps to turn numb appeared.
The head actually opened its mouth and sucked fiercely at the ground.
Under this suction, an indescribably terrifying suction force spread out, enveloping the surroundings.
Countless soil and rain rose into the air, heading straight for the mouth of the head.
It was as though it was eating.
As the soil continued to rise into the air, some coffins were revealed. They also flew up and fell into the large mouth, crushed by the bizarre head and swallowed.
Although it was only a head, as it swallowed, nothing leaked out. It was as though there was a bottomless pit hidden in the head.
As for Xu Qing and Erniu, their hearts were pounding. They could only try their best to resist this suction force with all their might and stabilize their bodies.
However, gradually, they couldn’t hold on anymore.
At this critical moment, Xu Qing looked at Erniu. Erniu also understood Xu Qing’s thoughts and shouted without hesitation.
“Awaken, my warriors!”
The instant he spoke, gray fog erupted from Erniu’s body and the power of death descended invisibly.
At the next instant, the tombs on the ground that were in a mess from the suction suddenly rumbled. Corpses broke through the coffins and crawled out.
There were many of them.
The instant they appeared, under the suction force, before these corpses could greet Erniu, they were sucked into the air and headed straight for the head’s mouth.
Within a short timespan, more than ten thousand corpses were devoured.
As though this amount had made the head full, as it chewed, the suction dissipated very quickly. The head also became blurry and gradually disappeared.
Xu Qing heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Erniu.
There was still lingering fear in Erniu’s eyes as he looked at Xu Qing.
The two of them looked at each other and could see the shock in each other’s eyes.
That moment earlier was truly dangerous.
As soon as they entered this world, they encountered such a bizarre and terrifying existence. This was enough to show that this Rain World filled with tombs was extremely dangerous.
“Although the more dangerous a place is, the more treasures there are, but… Little Qing, I think we should find the Empress as soon as possible.”
Even the crazy captain couldn’t help but mention this.
Xu Qing deeply agreed. After nodding, the two of them were about to leave this place.
However, at this moment, that terrifying pressure suddenly descended again.
The head returned.
It floated above the two of them.
This time, it got closer than before.
It stared at the two of them.
Before Xu Qing and Erniu could make a move, the head suddenly inhaled. Moreover, this time, the suction force didn’t spread out in all directions but focused on the two of them.
Hence, in the blink of an eye, Xu Qing and Erniu were directly sucked over without being able to resist.
However, the head didn’t devour them. Instead, it bound Xu Qing and Erniu in front of it, preventing them from moving. Only then did it slowly fly into the distance under the shocked gazes of the two.
As it moved, rain fell on it which it ignored.
Xu Qing and Erniu couldn’t move at all. They could only stare at each other. Their pupils contracted and countless escape methods emerged in their minds.
However, under the absolute strength of that head, their methods had no chance of success.
Just as the two of them were getting increasingly anxious, the head arrived at another graveyard. It stopped here and blew.
Xu Qing and Erniu’s bodies were pushed by a huge force and were thrown into the graveyard.
Immediately after, the head opened its mouth and emitted a suction force everywhere. Its cold eyes stared at the two of them.
It was as though it was reminding them that it was time to eat..
