743 The Descent of Crimson G.o.ddess (1)

The sky above the Immortal Forbidden was enveloped in a crimson hue, as if the entire sky had been transformed into a sea of blood.

It was covered in fine cracks.

Amidst the crimson backdrop, the cracks appeared even more profound, and upon closer inspection, it became apparent that they were not naturally formed.

It seemed more like they were man-made.

They looked like runes covering the sky!

Just a glance shook the mind, triggering emotions of fear. One would be unable to control themselves, as though this was an instinctive act of life.

Hence, Xu Qing and the captain weren’t the only ones who were shaken. At that moment, in the safe zone spanning over 1,000 kilometers in the Immortal Forbidden, all the human cultivators felt the same.

Great waves stirred in everyone’s hearts as a sense of impending calamity suddenly rose.

The majority of the cultivators in the safe zone were from the second and third waves of arrivals. As for the first wave of cultivators, most of them had chosen to leave, so only a few remained. Now, their expressions were changing rapidly in response to the unfolding events.

The source of the change in the sky was located at the core area of the Immortal Forbidden, precisely where the main palace stood.

The once magnificent palace had undergone a drastic transformation, now covered in endless flesh, forming a ma.s.sive tumor that engulfed the vast palace and its surrounding courtyards.

From a distance, the size of this fleshy ma.s.s spanned tens of thousands of feet, with numerous thick blood vessels extending in all directions. As it pulsated like a beating heart, its vibrations reverberated throughout the area.

Thump, thump, thump.

Every time it beat, there would be a thunderous sound that echoed in all directions.

Under the resonating sound, the very fabric of this place distorted, shrouded in a hazy and intense otherworldly aura. The anomalous substances were so dense that they no longer resembled mere mist but instead coalesced into eerie shadows that floated between heaven and earth, paying homage to the fleshy ma.s.s.

Following the sprawling blood vessels on the ground, a similar scene unfolded 500 kilometers away. However, instead of a fleshy ma.s.s, there stood a towering spike shooting up into the sky.

This sharp spike was pitch-black like the tip of a blade, emitting waves of cold aura. It stood there like a peerless weapon.

The divine weapons in this place were not just one.

Similarly, 500 kilometers away, there was an identical sharp spike that soared into the sky. There was even a third spike 500 kilometers away!

If one looked down from a high alt.i.tude, they would see clearly that there were a total of twenty-seven spikes, originating from the palace and piercing through the western region.

It seemed as if there was a colossal beast buried beneath the grounds of the palace, and the exposed spikes were from the beast’s dorsal armor.

However, at that moment, above the heart of the palace, there was an octagonal formation in the sky, as if embedded in the celestial dome, shimmering with a crimson light.

It seemed to contain a certain law, making the sky redder every time it flickered.

The material of this array formation was unknown and its range was about 10,000 feet. Compared to the colossal below, other than the red light, it wasn’t anything strange.

However, this place was the source of the entire crack in the sky.

Within the octagonal array formation, there were a total of 361 black-robed men within a 10,000-foot range.

Among them, 360 were sitting cross-legged, chanting complicated incantations.

This wasn’t the language of the human race. Every sound carried a bizarre intent. In fact, during this incantation, they would occasionally raise their hands at the same time, and stab into their bodies, digging out one of their internal organs.

They held it in their hands and raised it high like a sacrificial offering.

Those organs rapidly withered and transformed into wisps of black gas that gathered at the center of the array formation.

The 361st person was there.

Although he was also wearing a black robe, because his body was trembling violently, the hood of the robe had fallen back, revealing a malevolent face filled with crimson veins.

It was Zhang Siyun.

He knelt there and lifted his head high, facing the sky with an expression of agony. The veins on his face twisted, faintly tracing the shape of a crescent moon, while tears of blood streamed from his eyes.

His left eye was blind, only a hollow socket remained, but it was filled with countless blood vessels that spread outwards, merging into the surrounding formation and being further enhanced by its power, radiating outwards.

Following the meridians, the cracks on the sky were formed by the blood vessels emanating from Zhang Siyun’s blinded left eye!

As the incantations echoed, the blood vessels on his face squirmed faster and faster, and the outline of the red crescent moon became clearer.

At the same time, the black gas that gathered here was also absorbed by his body, turning into blood color and becoming nutrients, speeding up the formation of the red moon.

His hands slowly lifted, approaching his face, as if in a final act to cover his eyes once his right eye also went blind.

This shape was the same as the statue on the moon Xu Qing had seen in his sea of consciousness back then.

At this moment, the three hundred and sixty black-robed figures around Zhang Siyun became fervent, chanting their incantations. They each raised their hands and began to dig out their own livers, holding them up as offerings.

This scene was extremely b.l.o.o.d.y and incredibly eerie, filled with boundless wickedness.

Xu Qing and the captain left the area they were in previously. They didn’t continue to look for treasures, but were searching for an area with dense flesh and blood.

Although this place was filled with purple-red flesh and blood, for safety, the more flesh and blood there were, the better.

Just like that, two hours later, as Xu Qing’s sense of danger grew increasingly intense, they saw a collapsed ruin. The area here was originally very large but now, it was enveloped by a large amount of flesh and blood, like a mountain of flesh.
