âThis is truly a marvelous idea! Once I eat all of them, mother wonât know that there were people here. She wonât hold a grudge at me for doing bad stuff then!â
While the baby was thinking aloud excitedly, countless gods of the floating world came flying over. They saw that the mountain peak of the sacred mountain had exploded, and they couldnât help feeling horrified and furious as they attacked fiercely at the baby.
There was a huge number of gods in the floating world. However, there were no enemies for fifty thousand years, so the cultivation of the divine arts practitioners in the floating world had progressed slowly. They couldnât be compared to the outside world that was filled with struggles and fights. On the bright side, they had accumulated quite a number of gods during the past fifty thousand years.
In addition to the gods that Crimson Light Era had left behind, there were also close to ten thousand of them. Therefore, the sight of so many gods arriving was truly world-shaking, and this magnificent sight could be compared to a war of gods!
Meanwhile, there were countless gods that were quickly evacuating the people in the city. These gods protected them while they were leaving to avoid the ongoing battle.
Crimson Light Era used the creation of the corporeal body as a method of cultivation. Their corporeal bodies were powerful, and because of this, their attainments in corporeal body divine arts were extremely high. They cultivated battle techniques and close combat, breaking ten thousand spells with just a single powerful strike. Overall, their battles were usually very explosive.
On the sacred mountain, close to ten thousand gods had arrived, and they quickly formed a formation in the sky. In front of them, Crimson Light Son of Godâs tattered body was floating in the air. He personally took control of the formation and shouted, âLure him into the sky and use the eyes of Crimson Emperor against him!â
The baby saw the swarming gods and became extremely excited. He rushed forward and said, âThis spectacle is much smaller than the one in Youdu, but itâs enough for me to play for quite some time!â
â¦
In Qin word land, the clone of Heaven Duke, Crimson Emperor, and Qin Mu sat there without moving. Their faces were all quite grim.
Heaven Duke answered Crimson Emperorâs question. âHow strong is he? He is the first lifeform in Youdu to be born from the womb, and he is blessed by heaven. All of the grievances, evil thoughts, and devil nature in Youdu were absorbed by him when he was born. He absorbed these tainted air that even Earth Count couldnât deal with. Therefore, he has no realm. He is like me and Earth Count, we also donât have any realm.â
Crimson Emperor frowned. âIf his abilities correspond to the realms, which realm is he on?â
The clone of Heaven Duke muttered to himself, âItâs about equal to Luminous Sky, butââ He frowned and didnât continue what he was about to say.
Crimson Emperor waited, but he couldnât resist asking, âDao brother, what is it? Canât you say it?â
Heaven Duke sighed and explained, âNineteen years ago⦠No, about twenty years ago, when he was born and created havoc in Youdu, I had separated a strand of consciousness and entered Youdu out of curiosity. Back then, many ancient existences also entered Youdu, and the commotion was huge. First, the celestial heavens surrounded him, then tens of thousands of celestial soldiers and ghost soldiers were devoured by him. He and his mother were forced to escape to the depths of Youdu. After he ate more and more, the power that the celestial heavens had planted in Youdu couldnât beat him anymore. He also smashed the benefits of some ancient existences in Youdu, so these big shots could no longer sit still. You should also know one or two of these ancient existences.â
Crimson Emperor shook his head. âI rarely go to Youdu, so I donât know many people.â
Heaven Duke said with a smile, âOther than the celestial heavens, those who can stand in Youdu would be some strong practitioners on Emperorâs Throne that had died. The celestial heavens had set up an independent regime, and strong practitioners on Emperorâs Throne would also set up their own regime after they die. Earth Count would give them some face. These strong practitioners only have their primordial spirits, and since they have no corporeal bodies, their abilities arenât like before. Other than being on guard against Earth Count, the reason why the celestial heavens had set up an independent regime in Youdu is also to be on guard against these big shots, thatâs why the powers in Youdu are all very complicated. Theyâre much more complicated than my Xuandu. Crimson Emperor, if you had died outside, you would have become a big shot of Youdu and your power wouldnât be weak and insignificant.â
Crimson Emperor was stunned. He muttered, âThis devil incarnate had fought with these strong practitioners on Emperorâs Throne?â
Heaven Duke nodded his head and sighed. âThatâs right. These big shots always wanted their face after they die, so instead of surrounding and attacking him all at once, they wanted to fight him one on one. After that⦠he grew too fast. He had eaten too many Youdu devil gods and monsters, and in just a span of few monthsâ¦â
Crimson Emperorâs heart had a feeling of dread. âHe canât be so powerful!â
Heaven Duke said, âWhen he is in Youdu, he is that powerful. He is a god, a devil king thatâs born in Youdu, so itâs natural that heâs invincible in Youdu. Only Earth Count can suppress him. However, when heâs not in Youdu, he wouldnât be that powerful.â
Crimson Emperor became at ease, and he said, âThe floating world isnât Youdu. Itâs a small universe. I had used my corporeal body to build this paradise.â
Heaven Duke sighed. âThis Son of Youdu has the power to transform other worlds and other paradises into Youdu. This is the most crucial part. After changing them into Youdu, his abilities would increase and improve dramatically.â
Crimson Emperor widened his eyes as he stared at him. After a while, he only muttered, âShameless⦠How shameless!â
Heaven Duke said, âHowever, after changing the place into Youdu, Earth Count will be able to come here. With his abilities, he will definitely notice that something is wrong here. Earth Count will know he has escaped again and he will seal him up once more.â
After hearing these words, hope was renewed in Crimson Emperorâs heart, but Heaven Duke added, âWhen that time comes, the floating world will become Youdu, and there would probably be no survivors inside. Also, if Earth Count comes to save the day and sees me trapped in here, he will definitely be overjoyed even if he doesnât show it. I canât just throw this face.â
Crimson Emperorâs expression changed, and he asked in a disappointed voice, âThe people in the floating world are the last of my clansmen. If this place is destroyed, it will be the end of my race⦠Dao Brother Heaven Duke, you have remarkable abilities, can you come to the floating world before Earth Count arrives?â
Heaven Duke shook his head. âThe floating world is located in another small universe. Itâs not under my jurisdiction, so I canât come in. Even though Iâm Heaven Duke, I canât enter all places. For example, Eternal Peace doesnât have a real star, and even their astronomical phenomenon is fake, so I canât go there. However, thereâs another wayâ¦â
He looked at Qin Mu and said solemnly, âThe method to break out of our current situation still lies on Little Friend Qin.â
Qin Mu had been long dumbfounded from listening to him. When he heard what he had just said, he hurriedly asked, âWhere do I have that kind of ability? I canât escape. Iâm being suppressed like you guys, and even if I could escape, I will still be suppressed and will be sent back hereâ¦â
Heaven Duke said with a smile, âBoth of you share the same body. Not only that, both of you share the same soul, so if heâs able to move the devil nature and devil qi of Youdu, you can too. When you cultivated in the past, havenât you ever thought why youâre so special to be able to open Gate of Heaven Influence?â
âThatâs because I have the overlord body!â Qin Mu replied without thinking.
âOverlord body?â
Crimson Emperorâs heart trembled violently. He felt respect and disappointment at the same time. âItâs a pity I didnât take over his consciousness. If I did, he would have become another me, and with the overlord body, it isnât impossible for me to make a comebackâ¦â
Heaven Duke said, âItâs not because you have the overlord body, itâs because both of you share the same corporeal body and soul! However, Earth Count had sealed him along with his devil nature and evil qi. In the end, you are also him. Itâs just that you have a different consciousness from him. Therefore, you can also use his power.â
Qin Mu was astonished and delighted. If he could move such an enormous amount of energy, wouldnât that mean he has the same abilities as Qin Fengqing?
But how could he move it?
âIf you want to move this power, itâs still impossible by yourself.â
Heaven Duke said, âThatâs why you will need Crimson Emperor and me. Crimson Emperorâs consciousness is extremely strong. He has cultivated three primordial spirits, Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness. Even if his soul is dispersed, his consciousness will still remain. However, he canât fight against the devil nature of Qin Fengqing because Qin Fengqingâs devil nature is too strong. Therefore, if Crimson Emperor tries to assimilate him, he will be beaten out of his body. Crimson Emperor, pass down your Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Technique to Qin Mu.â
Crimson Emperor hesitated and said, âI can only do so. However, Iâm just a consciousness, so after I impart the technique to Little Friend Qin, my memories regarding Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness will vanish. May Little Friend Qin pass this technique down to my clansmen? I had treasured this technique as my own back then and didnât pass it down to my people. After I died, this technique had also vanished.â
Qin Mu said solemnly, âCrimson Emperor, donât worry! I will definitely pass down this technique!â
Crimson Emperor was finally at ease. He carefully plucked out a part of his consciousness, and after a moment, this consciousness flowed out from his head and surged into the heart of Qin Muâs brows.
This was a pure consciousness that contained his Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness. It included his technique and everything he had gained while cultivating it. It was equivalent to slicing down his Emperorâs Throneâs experience and sending it straight into Qin Muâs consciousness!
Even though he had the intention to seize Qin Muâs corporeal body and achieve another kind of reborn through Qin Mu, he couldnât play any tricks in this situation with Heaven Duke beside him.
After receiving Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness, its cultivation method and experience instantly appeared in Qin Muâs mind, and his horizons were immediately raised to a tremendous height. He could now view this technique with the judgment of an Emperorâs Throne. The delight in his heart couldnât be imagined!
Heaven Duke said, âThree Primordial Spirit Undying God Technique can strengthen your consciousness, but your consciousness now still canât fight against Qin Fengqing. This is where you need us to help strengthen your spirit.â
He smiled and continued explaining, âEven though Iâm just a clone formed from a strand of consciousness and I canât fight Qin Fengqing, we are scheming against someone who is not scheming. We can still trick him and help you take back your corporeal body. After you seize back your corporeal body and leave the floating world, I will help you add another layer of seal when you are back in Xuandu. This is to prevent Qin Fengqing from running out again.â
Qin Mu asked excitedly, âAfter I seize my corporeal body back, can I have power like his?â
Heaven Duke smiled. âThat will depend on whether you can master the power of Youdu. Cultivate Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness first then we will make a move once you have some success with it. We must pull Qin Fengqing back and seal him! When that time comes, we will be able to escape out of this place! I hope when that time comes, it wonât be too late and the floating world wonât be destroyed by him.â
Qin Mu was full of excitement, and he immediately started to cultivate.
Crimson Emperor looked at Heaven Duke and said in a low voice, âYou lied to him. He canât control the power of Youdu at all. Once he receives that power, he will be tainted by the devil nature of Youdu, and he will turn into another Qin Fengqing or even worse!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The light in Heaven Dukeâs eyes flickered. He nodded his head. âEven worse? Even though Qin Fengqing is full of evil, he is still a baby after all. He likes to settle things with brute force, and he will only take peopleâs lives with Youdu divine arts after getting forced into a corner, and as for himâ¦â
His white eyebrows and white beard floated up, and he said in a hushed voice, âSinister, crafty, and treacherous⦠His speed and ability to adapt are a hundred to a thousand times harder to deal with than Qin Fengqing. If he gets controlled by the devil nature of Youdu, he will also be a hundred to a thousand times worse than Qin Fengqing! Qin Fengqing is only evil, but he is wicked, and when wicked meets the devil nature, he will become a wicked devil. If he uses Youdu divine artâ¦â
He couldnât help shuddering as he muttered, âWhen that time comes, even I will also help the celestial heavens to get rid of him. Luckily, he is being sealed by Earth Count and suppressed by Brahma Buddha. As long as Qin Fengqing is pulled back in, he wonât be able to escape.â
Crimson Emperor said with a sigh, âThe older, the wiser. What Earth Count and Old Buddha have sealed and suppressed are the devil nature and devil qi of Youdu. Once Qin Fengqing has returned into the seal, the devil nature and devil qi will be suppressed as well. When that happens, both of us can take the chance to escape and leave this place.â
Heaven Duke said with a smile, âThatâs the idea. If we are suppressed here, arenât we going to be beaten by that devil incarnate? This is striking two birds with one stone! But still, this is all your fault. If you didnât try to take over his consciousness, all these troubles wouldnât have occurred!â
Crimson Emperor sighed. âI also didnât expect this would happen. Besides, itâs not me who had brought him to my brain. It was Crimson Light Son of God, that brat, who had tried to use me and made him fall into my consciousness labyrinthâ¦â
â¦
While Qin Mu was cultivating diligently, in the outside world, it wasnât known how many gods Crimson Light Son of God had sacrificed to lure Qin Fengqing finally into the sky. With the suns and moons that were transformed from Crimson Emperorâs eyes in the sky, quite a number of gods climbed onto them to execute the formations in Crimson Emperorâs pupils.
Twangâ
Beams of intense light suddenly converged together, and all of them were aimed at the baby who was slaughtering recklessly!
The sky suddenly dimmed. The light of the suns and moons had merged into this intense beam, which resulted in sinking everything into darkness.
Boom!
Terrifying pulses traveled over as the huge baby was blown away. He crashed into the ground and tumbled round and round, causing mountains to collapse continuously.
âWe wonâ¦â
The gods in the sky looked at one another nervously. They also looked at where the baby had fallen and saw that he was sprawled out beside a riverâhis head was plugged into the water while his butt was facing up. The baby was motionless.
âWe won!â Cheers erupted from the sky, and countless people celebrated. Hugging each other, they were moved to tears.
âHow fun.â
The huge baby suddenly pulled out his head from the river and sat on the ground. He giggled. âThat was fun! Letâs play again!â
The gods in the sky were all in a daze. Fear and despair gradually spread among them. Crimson Light Son of God frantically shouted, âActivate the eyes of Crimson Emperor and shoot him down!â
The light from the three suns and three moons converged again, and the sky immediately dimmed, plunging the entire floating world into darkness once again.
Wrnnng.
The six stars trembled as the beams shot at the huge baby. On the other side, that baby was excited as he clenched his fists tightly and released two pitch-black beams from his eyes, clashing straight against the sun and moon divine rays.
The terrifying power rippled through the air, and a world-shaking explosion went off afterward. One of the suns was pierced through, while on the other side, one of the moons also had a massive hole through its body. Both of them were like round dates that had their cores removed.
âOne more time!â The huge babyâs shout was full of anticipation.
