Chapter 1045 Xu Qing's forbidden zone, The Divine Sons' Wails
The purple-red carapace, the neck curved like a crescent moon, and the triangular head emitted waves of a dreadful aura.
Its powerful six legs, sharp claws, and a tail half the length of its body, as if it could break through any obstacle, exuded a sense of terror.
Especially from its head to its tail, it had rows of crimson spikes, shining with a bloody glow, responding to the red hue of the sky.
This was the divine son.
At that moment, they were rushing out of the deep chasm that had appeared in the Bitter Life Mountain Range, spreading in all directions throughout the mountains.
Chaos, madness, hunger â€" these were fully embodied in them.
Wherever they passed, everything became their food. Moreover, when they smelled the scent of beings with blood, these divine sons' eyes revealed greed as they followed the aura and rushed toward the sects and cities in the Bitter Life Mountain Range.
Looking from the sky, it was like a red tide was spreading on the ground.
In an instant, eerie and horrifying roars echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.
When they heard these sounds, the cultivators were shaken and the mortals were horrified.
Faced with all of this, be it mortals or cultivators, they knew very well that they couldn't escape.
Hence, a huge battle was on the verge of erupting in the Bitter Life Mountain Range.
The array formations of the various factions were activated and all the cultivators went forward to stop these fiends.
The whole Wind Guard Race was on guard.
The red tide was approaching crazily, and many divine sons within it, stimulated by the scent of blood, were already leaping and clawing, ready to charge forward.
However, just as the cultivators in the Bitter Life Mountain Range prepared themselves for the impending battle, a cold snort echoed from the sky.
This snort carried an earth-shattering might. When it reached the ears of the living beings, it was like celestial thunder, causing everyone to feel dazed. Before they could recover from their shock, the demonic divine sons shuddered one by one and let out a mournful roar, looking up at the sky.
However, this roar was useless.
It was as though an invisible large hand had descended from the sky, covering the entire Bitter Life Mountain Range, forming a huge pressure that landed on these divine sons.
A deafening roar erupted at that moment, and countless divine sons had their carapaces shattered. In the midst of their screams, they were directly compressed into pulp, their flesh and blood blurred, collapsing and exploding.
Less than 10% survived.
The entire Bitter Life Mountain Range shook violently. The eyes of the cultivators from the various sects and forces widened and waves surged in their hearts.
They instinctively lifted their heads and looked at the three figures that had appeared in the sky.
The person who attacked was an old man in the center.
"Mogui."
The heir calmly spoke and the void beside him instantly distorted. Ancestor Mogui's figure teleported over in the blink of an eye. After he appeared, he immediately knelt down and answered loudly.
"Junior is here!"
The appearance of Mogui caused all the cultivators in the Bitter Life Mountain Range to immediately look over. Most of them had seen Ancestor Mogui before. After all, he had one of the highest reputation in the entire Bitter Life Mountain Range.
"Lead the people to deal with the remaining beasts."
"I obey the decree!"
Mogui spoke loudly, his heart filled with immense excitement and a strong sense of security.
He immediately descended to the ground. With his reputation, he directly led all the sects in the Bitter Life Mountain Range and began to destroy the fiends in an orderly manner.
As for the heir and Princess Mingmei in the air, they didn't stay here. Instead, they brought Xu Qing away.
When they appeared, they were already at the origin area of the divine sons.
It was a massive chasm, glowing with a red radiance. Muffled roars emanated from within, resembling the sound of a heartbeat, resonating outside and transforming into thunderous rumbles.
The heir and Princess Mingmei lowered their heads and looked into the distance.
Xu Qing followed behind. His gaze also landed on the chasm.
On his way here, he had seen too many divine sons. Although countless of them had been destroyed by the cold snort of the heir earlier, there were still many divine sons roaring out of the deep pit below.
"Xu Qing, I'll leave these things in the outer perimeter to you. With your current combat strength, it won't be a problem for you to persist for a period of time. It can also be considered training for you."
After the heir finished speaking, he looked at Princess Mingmei beside him.
After Princess Mingmei nodded, the two of them walked out at the same time and headed straight for the deep chasm. They instantly entered and headed deeper.
Xu Qing didn't hesitate. After the heir and Princess Mingmei left, he looked at the red tide that kept appearing below. His gaze turned cold.
His presence immediately caught the attention of those divine offspring on the ground. The instinctual desire for blood food seemed to be deeply ingrained in these divine sons. In their perception, the concept of fear was difficult to evoke.
They only had chaos and madness.
The aura on Xu Qing's body seemed to be even sweeter. Hence, their madness became even more intense. They let out sharp roars and headed straight for Xu Qing.
Their bloodline could ignore the spells of most cultivators, and their speed was even more astonishing. The divine fluctuations on their bodies were enough to break through all obstacles.
This was especially so for their vitality. They were extremely tenacious.
At that moment, they rushed toward Xu Qing from all directions.
Xu Qing was expressionless. When the red tide on the ground entered his vision, his pupils didn't turn red but pitch-black.
"I'll stay here and test my growth during this period of time."
Xu Qing mumbled and looked at the ground.
Wherever his gaze went, a large area on the ground instantly distorted, becoming blurred, and anomalous substances were born. The power of the Poison Restriction erupted within.
The divine sons in this area instantly let out mournful wails. Their bodies were rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye. Back then, the anomalous substances from the Poison Restriction could allow Xu Qing to plunder the origin of the Crimson Goddess. From this, it could be determined that its status had surpassed the Crimson Goddess.
Right now, it was a better confirmation.
Other than chaos and madness, these descendants of the Crimson Goddess were also filled with the anomalous substances of the Crimson Goddess. However, now, under Xu Qing's Poison Restriction, they were unable to resist.
Amidst the rumbling, the dozens of divine sons screamed miserably and turned into blood.
This scene agitated the other divine sons. Hence, even more divine sons rose into the air and rushed toward Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's expression was calm. With a wave of his hand, the Golden Crow totem on his body immediately came alive and formed in the air. It let out a shrill cry and black flames instantly erupted.
There was also a spear inside that emitted a terrifying fluctuation. It rushed out and headed straight for the surroundings.
Wherever it passed, the void shattered and the world rumbled. All the divine sons who got close instantly collapsed until the spear landed on the ground.
The ground trembled and all the divine sons within a ten thousand-foot range let out cries of pain. Their hard bodies were now incomparably fragile. The divine fluctuations they were proud of were now suppressed.
Everything seemed to be restrained and crushed with crushing force.
It wasn't that they weren't strong. When facing cultivators, they had a unique advantage. The anomalous substances contained in them could also keep on tainting the cultivators.
In fact, their blood too was highly toxic to cultivators.
However… to Xu Qing, all of this was useless.
In terms of poison, they couldn't compare. In terms of the level of anomalous substances, they were still inferior.
This was destined to be a massacre.
As rumbling sounds echoed, Xu Qing walked into the beast pack. Wherever his gaze fell, the Poison Restriction erupted. Where the Golden Crow went, taboo destruction followed.
Moreover, the radiance of the morning glow shimmered around Xu Qing's body. Each sweep annihilated any approaching threat. Countless spells transformed within, diffusing outward.
From time to time, the phantom of the Ghost Emperor Mountain would descend and suppress the surroundings.
The Heavenly Dao Mosasaur also rushed out of the void and bellowed at the divine sons, devouring them crazily.
Hence, among this group of divine sons, Xu Qing was like a messenger of death walking among them. Wherever he passed, there would be corpses left behind.
It was a pity that there was no one around to see this scene. Otherwise, they would definitely be extremely shocked and their hearts would palpitate.
Right now, Xu Qing didn't look like a cultivator at all.
Under the morning glow and the flickering of the Taboo Spear, his pitch-black eyes and expressionless face made him look like a god.
In fact, after about fifteen minutes, the area became increasingly blurred, and the sense of distortion intensified. Vaguely, it seemed that this place was transforming into a forbidden zone..
The forbidden zone in the mortal realm brought suffering to myriad beings, but in this place, the divine sons were the ones wailing.
Gradually, some divine sons commenced to tremble and didn't dare to get close. Their fear rose endlessly and suppressed their instincts.
Looking at all of this, Xu Qing's expression was calm.
"Only divine techniques can restrain these divine sons. If one doesn't have the power of the gods, it will be very difficult for cultivators to face them because each one is a source of contamination."
"Then, let me try my Purple Moon power."
Xu Qing closed his eyes. At the next instant, drops of blood floated out of his body. In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing's figure disappeared and was enveloped by endless blood, transforming into a blood-colored vortex that rumbled as it spun.
The authority of the Red Moon erupted from within. There was also a divine repository that undulated in the blood-colored vortex. Finally, it erupted, forming a huge blood curtain that was about to descend to the ground and cover all the divine sons here.
However, at this moment… the divine sons in the surroundings suddenly trembled violently and they stopped letting out the horrifying wails. All of them lowered their heads and crawled toward the blood curtain Xu Qing had transformed into, making gurgling sounds.
This sound was special. It was different from their roars earlier. It contained intimacy and submission.
The blood curtain in the sky paused and Xu Qing's face appeared. He gazed at the tens of thousands of divine sons prostrating on the ground and fell into deep thought.
A while later, Xu Qing's figure gathered in the sky and strutted toward the ground, walking among these prostrating divine sons. These divine sons became extremely obedient, like pets. They even used their heads to rub against the path Xu Qing had walked on.
"The heir previously said that these divine sons were formed from unnecessary substances released by the Crimson Goddess during the process of becoming a god. This statement might be a bit oversimplified."
"They might not be the descendants of the Crimson Goddess. Specifically, they should be the descendants of the Red Moon."
"They are formed from the impurities the formation of impurities generated during the process when the Crimson Goddess plundered the Red Moon."
A look of contemplation emerged in Xu Qing's eyes. He strutted in front of a divine son and placed his hand on its head.
