Chapter 525: Snatching Food From the Tiger’s Mouth (part 2)

As Xu Qing and the Captain observed these things happening in the projection in front of them, they were left reeling.

The eyes of all observers couldn’t help but be focused on the possessed Zhang Siyun, who was now a mere godly doppelg?nger of Crimson Mother. At the moment, shē was glowing with incredibly bright light.

The countless rifts in the sky that formed a magical symbol were glittering brightly. The entire canopy of heaven was bright red, and seemed to be stirring in motion. The sky spun, faster and faster, until it gradually became a blood-colored vortex. Rumbling sounds echoed out as moonlight emerged from within the vortex. It was as if the vortex connected to some unknown land, a place where, high in the sky there hung a huge blood moon!

This was the real red moon! On that moon was a kneeling statue with its hands covering its eyes. But now those hands were slowly lowering. The statue’s mouth stretched wide in a greedy grin.

This was Crimson Mother’s true form!

Entering the Land of Cruelmurk to devour a High God by means of a doppelg?nger wasn’t enough. Crimson Mother was actually coming in person. Shē rose to her feet on the red moon, and wild colors flashed in heaven and earth. Rumbling sounds echoed out, and destructive power rocked everything as shē strode forward. Every step surpassed space and time. The step surpassed the vortex, emerging from the other heaven and earth, to arrive... right in front of the well formed by the burning of the golden god fish.

The moment the true form appeared, the doppelg?nger blurred. Then, almost all of the energy within the doppelg?nger swept out of the top of its head in a haze. After taking most of the energy out of the doppelg?nger, Crimson Mother’s true form stepped into the ancient well, thus entering the Land of Cruelmurk!

Violent rumblings emerged from the well, mixed with the anguished howl of the fish, who was enraged at having been forced to create the well to begin with.

As for what exactly was playing out in the Land of Cruelmurk, no one knew. However, splatters of golden blood flew out of the ancient well, and horrifying chewing sounds echoed out through Forbidden by the Immortal and into Sea-Sealing County. It then spread through the entire Holytide Region, into Nightshade Region, and even into the Imperial Region.

They also echoed into the regions controlled by other major species. Over forty regions were all inundated by that sound which seemingly came from nowhere. That part of the Revered Ancient mainland was completely shaken.

Meanwhile, beneath the Supreme Beginning Netherflight Pillar in Emperor-Receiving Prefecture, golden blood seethed. It was the same in the depths of the cavern at the bottom of the Forbidden Sea. In other prefectures, counties, and regions through Revered Ancient, there were over eight thousand ghast hollows, and in all of them, god blood seethed.

That wasn’t the end of it, though. All of the forbidden regions and forbidden grounds were deathly silent. No sounds emerged from them. Countless streams of terrifying divine will from actual gods stirred in all corners of Revered Ancient, and they were all paying very close attention to what was happening. High above the dome of heaven, the broken face of the god, moved slightly, as if about to look down. However, the eyes did not open.

Thēy were paying attention, not to some location in Sea-Sealing County, but rather, what existed beneath it, yet it was not some location that could be considered simple to find.... The Land of Cruelmurk.

Another rift opened next to the fish god!

Rumbling sounds echoed out as more snow-white light erupted from that second rift. Then, another hand of white jade emerged, which looked just like the other, except much smaller, being only 300 meters in size.

The timing of arrival for this hand was even more precise. It appeared in a perfect time and position, right underneath the god fish, where the fish had an unhealed wound. The white hand jabbed into the wound, moving at the perfect angle and speed to grab a fish bone and then yank it out.

Rumbling echoed out as the bone was jerked out from inside the fish. That hand was obviously much weaker than the other. It immediately trembled as if it might collapse, yet it endured. With a surge of craziness, it threw everything to the wind as it pulled. Apparently, this hand was determined to get that bone even if it died in the process. After the hand dragged the bone out of the fish, it retracted into the rift. The process was so rough on the hand that much of it collapsed in the process.

But the craziness in the hand was so intense that before it crumbled, it successfully pulled the bone all the way into the rift.

Then, it disappeared!

It came quickly, and vanished even more quickly. And everything about its actions, from its timing to its position, had been perfect. It was only then that the much larger hand with the three fish bones realized what had just happened. īt paused for a moment.

At the entrance of Forbidden by the Immortal, the onlookers were visibly taken aback. And for the first time, a glitter of suspicious curiosity flashed through Seventh Prince’s eyes.

Xu Qing and the Captain both gasped. The way that white hand appeared, and its method of stealing the fish bone, had seemed very familiar to both of them. It seemed to correspond perfectly to the style of the Seventh Peak.... That, of course, was to wait in hiding until the right opportunity arose. When that opportunity came, it went crazy, snatched the target, then fled at top speed. The two of them looked at each other, and could see the suspicion and excitement in each other’s eyes.

After pausing momentarily, the first white hand above dragged the three fish bones back into the rift.

When the rift disappeared, Crimson Mother’s doppelg?nger leaped into the blood-colored vortex with the rest of the fish god and disappeared. The vortex slowed, and the deep red color faded. It gradually faded from view, and then the sky went back to normal.

Without the power of a god at play, the countless rifts in the sky shattered, and began to fall to the ground in pieces. The lands of Forbidden by the Immortal also seemed like they were about to collapse, and were almost immediately riddled with damage. In many areas, the lands were already in complete ruin. The one thing that didn’t weaken was the mutagen, which spread out rapidly, turning everything dark.

However, any sense of fear within Xu Qing and the Captain disappeared along with Crimson Mother. They both breathed sighs of relief.

“Hurry up and start absorbing, little Junior Brother! We don’t have much time. I bet Seventh Prince will be arriving soon. He’ll probably stabilize everything, but will also seal the place up and make everyone leave. The only other possibility is that the entire place will collapse!”

Xu Qing didn’t reply, as he had already come to the same conclusion. And thus, he opened himself wide and began absorbing all of the mutagen in the area!
