Chapter 894: Get Over Here!
This type of boldness was befitting of the Firemoons’ number one chosen. This type of domineering attitude was perfectly suited to the chosen whose daoist name harkened to the name of the species itself: Sir Firedark.
She didn’t want to be a Smoldering God. She wanted to be... an actual god! By using the immortal emperor’s body as nutritional materials, she could ignite her godfire! She wanted to reach godly ascension in one smooth step!
That thoroughly surpassed anything that Sir Heavenink or the other Firemoons would think of doing. And it formed the most eye-catching thing in the entire emperor’s mausoleum at the moment. And for multiple reasons, it quashed any thoughts the other three chosen had about trying to vie for supremacy in the future. With a person like this, it didn’t matter how you tried to compete with them, how you tried to gain victory, or how you tried to fight them.
Sir Heavenink sighed. Tuo Shishan bowed his head. Fan Shishuang looked on bitterly. None of them wanted to just give up. Although Sir Firedarks’ goal was something beyond them, they still had their own paths to follow, and their own breakthroughs to achieve. Now, they wanted all that more than ever!
Meanwhile, Xu Qing opened his eyes and looked at Sir Firedark.
Even working together, he and the Captain couldn’t defeat Sir Firedark in combat. They could only pin her down. She was one of the rare chosen Xu Qing had met who could be considered beyond exceptional.
Back in the imperial palace of humankind, when Fifth Prince came back from his border campaign, he had brought some shocking news with him. The Firemoon Darkheavens were apparently trying to... establish a fourth god for themselves. Xu Qing had originally assumed it was Master Stillwinter. After all, Master Stillwinter’s soul had more than ninety god monuments in it, which seemed like a ceremony of godly ascension.
That was why he had killed Master Stillwinter and thrown him into his mage trove to use as kindling. Only after killing him did Xu Qing come to realize that Master Stillwinter was not the fourth god the Firemoons had been grooming. Put most precisely, Master Stillwinter was an unfinished product. Perhaps he could even be considered a failed tool.
Now that Xu Qing could see what Sir Firedark was doing, it seemed... that she was the fourth god the Firemoons were grooming.
But... is it really her?
He suddenly felt inclined to look at the Captain.
The Captain was surrounded by freezing flames. His eyes had a crazy look in him that made it seem like he had been starving for tens upon tens of thousands of years, and was about to do some binge eating.
The opportunity Sir Firedark had been waiting for... was the same opportunity the Captain had been waiting for!
“Finally... the time is here!” the Captain said, licking his lips. Suddenly looking quite mad, he threw his head back and laughed. “Little Ah Qing, look over at that crappy Tuo Shishan and the others. They’re like wimpy little sparrows, nothing more! All they want is some supreme yin and supreme yang. They just want to be solid Smoldering Gods. Talk about lacking ambition!
“On the other hand, Little Swallow has really got some guts. She’s using the umbrella as heaven, the corpse of a god as fuel, all to reach godly ascension in a single step. But even she only counts as a medium-sized sparrow. Who the hell goes around ignoring food that’s right in front of you?
“As for this big job, little Junior Brother, we’re going way past the sparrow level... to the eagle level!” At that point, the Captain loosened his hold on the rope connecting him to Xu Qing. Taking advantage of the rejection power of the moon, he grinned wildly and pointed at one of the 108 heavenly bodies. “Hey you... get over here!!”
Only Xu Qing seemed unsurprised by all this. After all, there were two idioms that perfectly encapsulated the Captain’s style. The first was snatching food from the tiger’s mouth and the second was dancing on a knife’s edge. Based on how well Xu Qing knew the Captain, from the moment they arrived in the god domain, he had speculated that something like this would happen.
Given all that, it probably wasn’t best to say this was a ‘crazy’ thing to do. Instead, it was a very ‘Erniu’ thing to do. It wasn’t something that could be stopped easily, not even by the other cultivators present in the emperor’s mausoleum.
With the sun locked in place, the orbit of the sun and moon had been altered. And there was no way to stop the momentum of the moon. Terrifying and boundless coldness raced right toward the sun.
108 planets wailed, their screams spreading in all directions as the sun and moon collided! Heaven and earth shattered. The starry sky shook violently. Space collapsed. Fire and ice smashed into each other, and a dark, terrifying light of destruction began to spread. The sun shattered. The moon collapsed. Countless chunks of ice and burning sparks sprayed in all directions. Fire rained down in the emperor’s mausoleum. So did ice and even stars.
The only safe spot was where Xu Qing and the Captain stood.
Everywhere else, the mausoleum shook dramatically! The entire surrounding planet trembled! The whole god domain was shaken violently! A massive wind swept out that was the result of ice and fire destroying each other, or yin and yang joining together in formlessness. It was the direct result of the sun and moon colliding. It was... a tempest of primal-chaos that descended on the entire mausoleum. The starlight dragons went dim and collapsed within the wind. The bells tolled, sounding out a dirge of death. The drums and gongs resonated as they woke the souls of the deceased. And the wind caused the gigantic umbrella to shift, revealing... the holy coffin on the altar below it!
Surrounding the altar were the lands made of the skin patchwork. Among those patches of skin was one in particular that had a pair of eyes. The eyes opened, and in response, all of the soldiers and chariots arrayed in the mausoleum woke up one after another! However, that didn’t matter, as the path had already been cleared!
As the wind blew, the entire starry sky seemed to tilt onto its side as if to impede Sir Heavenink, Tuo Shishan, and Fan Shishuang. It was already impossible to stop events from playing out, so the main thing to do now was worry about self-preservation.
But Sir Firedark, whose breakthrough had been interrupted thanks to the Captain, felt that old hatred rising up again in her. She took a step forward.
Despite everything that was happening, Xu Qing still didn’t look surprised. Things really weren’t very much different than he’d expected. And he also knew that his Eldest Brother probably had more tricks up his sleeve. As for what trick was coming next, Xu Qing was fairly certain he knew. After all, he had loaned something to the Captain that the Captain hadn’t returned yet. Therefore, Xu Qing didn’t do a thing as Sir Firedark closed in.
Next to him, the Captain laughed madly. He had set up this entire situation in a previous life, so seeing it play out in front of him was very gratifying. And of course, how could he not be prepared to deal with Sir Firedark?
As Sir Firedark closed in, the Captain looked up proudly, then threw his right hand out with a flourish.
When Sir Firedark saw what was in that hand, her face fell.
“You’re crazy!!” she blurted, reversing course and racing backward at top speed.
The Captain was holding something in his hand that almost looked like a pearl. It was an ancient sun, also called a Dawning Sun, which was a domain treasure of humankind!
“Get over here!” the Captain said to the retreating Sir Firedark. Laughing maniacally, he hurled the Dawning Sun toward the altar below!
