Chapter 892: It’s Not Too Late; I’m Here
The Captain’s words reached Xu Qing mind.
Xu Qing smiled. Apparently he hadn’t arrived too late.
That said, though it was no surprise to see Sir Firedark and the Captain here, he hadn’t expected to see Sir Heavenink, Tuo Shishan, or Fan Shishuang. After all, this wasn’t the first time the Firemoon Darkheavens opened this god domain. And it was a given that the top five chosen from the Firemoon echelon would have impressive backing. They would surely have been preparing for this event for a long time.
The fact that these people were all here went to show... that this spot was where the best good fortune and destined opportunities were in this god domain! And it also proved that the Captain really had a nose for sniffing out big jobs.
After nodding in response to the Captain, Xu Qing looked around at everyone else. Sir Firedark snorted coldly, Sir Heavenink looked surprised, Tuo Shishan looked annoyed, and Fan Shishuang averted his gaze.
No one spoke. Apparently, Xu Qing’s arrival wasn’t an unexpected turn of events to them. In fact, it was almost as if they had expected to see him, and would have found it unusual if he didn’t show up.
Looking around, Xu Qing already had a sense of how this place worked. For example, the 108 planets in the starry sky above the mausoleum all had invisible barriers surrounding them. They couldn’t be seen with the naked eye, but touching them with divine sense imparted a sense of incredible might. They were like sealing marks that prevented anyone from leaving the planets.
Though the divine abilities built into those barriers could keep people like Sir Heavenink restrained, Xu Qing could sense that both the Captain and Sir Firedark could break through without much effort. And yet... both of those two were still waiting on the planets.
They don’t want to move? Or has the right time not arrived yet?
He soon got an explanation.
Beneath the planets were the much larger sun and moon, endlessly orbiting on their tracks. The moon was just now shifting away while the sun was approaching. The canopy of heaven was in motion.
Scorching, domineering, and wild power emanated out, filled with terrifying mightiness. The incoming sun was like a burning ball of fire that cast glittering light into the starry sky. The closer it got, the more intense its power. The barriers around the other planets filtered the terrifying heat, converting it into pure sun power that passed through the barrier.
Sir Heavenink, Tuo Shishan, and Sir Firedark shivered as they absorbed the sun power to refine their fleshly bodies and souls. As they did, their auras climbed.
This was why Sir Firedark hadn’t broken through the barrier! And this was why everyone was seated cross-legged on one of the planets. The barriers sealed them in, but were also a defense for them. They made the planets like dao altars, where it was possible to safely absorb the power.
“This is supreme yang power!” the Captain said to Xu Qing via divine will projection. “When the moon comes, it will emanate supreme yin power. Like I said to you before, little Junior Brother, there’s treasure in this emperor’s tomb. You didn’t believe me, so you risked your life for those statues outside. But look. Don’t you agree there’s far more supreme yin power here?”
The Captain shook his head, sighed, and looked at Xu Qing with great pity.
Xu Qing’s eyes glittered.
An instant later, the sun passed and the moon began its return. Supreme yin power drove away the supreme yang power.
Fan Shishuang looked up, determination in his eyes and firmness in his heart. After watching Xu Qing kill Master Stillwinter, he had come to realize he wasn’t a match for Xu Qing, much less Sir Firedark. But that was the past. He was firmly convinced that a wonderful, eternal future awaited him. There was nothing guaranteeing who would be strong and who would be weak in the future! With that conviction bolstering him, he went crazy absorbing as much supreme yin power as possible. As moonlight gathered on his forehead, it turned into a planet that spread light in all directions. He was also starting to break through.
The other person absorbing supreme yin power was the Captain, who was actually a bit more domineering than Fan Shishuang. It was as if he wanted to surpass Sir Firedark’s absorption style. A moment later, a swath of mist appeared above the Captain’s head. The mist seethed as the head of a huge dog emerged from it, which also started to absorb the supreme yin power.
It was... the immortal skill named Heavenly Dog. And it could devour heaven and earth. In an instant, massive amounts of supreme yin power flowed toward the Captain, which he ravenously devoured.
Fan Shishuang shivered, and as he realized he wasn’t going to be able to proceed, his expression turned very grim.
The Captain, meanwhile, looked very pleased with himself, as if to say ‘if I can’t do it, who can?’ He cast a derisive look at Sir Firedark, then sent a very smug message to Xu Qing via divine will.
“Little Junior Brother, all you have to do is ask me very, very nicely, and also give me a thousand promissory notes, and I’ll save twenty percent for you. What do you say?”
Xu Qing ignored the message and focused on the approaching moon. Inside of himself, he could sense the same gravitational force that had been attracted to the statues outside, causing his third trove gate to crack open. On the other side of that trove gate was a power that had the same origin as this moon. It also had supreme yin power, and it was also an ancestral moon!
Intense longing rushed into Xu Qing’s mind. Who said that fight outside the tomb was pointless? He had acquired something during that fight. A seed! Looking at this incoming moon, Xu Qing understood it all. Standing, he took a step forward. As he did, his second trove gate emitted a deafening sound.
Inside of it was Hellfei’s eye. It opened, and the Six Filths of the Gods erupted from Xu Qing’s eyes and slammed into the barrier.
The Six Filths of the Gods could taint gods! Almost instantly, the barrier began to decay. The invisible obstacle became visible, and then it exploded like a balloon that had been inflated too much.
Xu Qing’s foot landed, and he disappeared from the planet to appear outside in the starry sky.
Power from the emperor’s mausoleum rushed in from all directions, crushing down onto Xu Qing. However, his facial expression was the same as ever as he unleashed the power of Ninedawns and his god states. The six filths grew more intense.
As everyone looked on in surprise, he moved in the direction of the approaching moon. Then he stepped onto its surface... and sat down cross-legged. The violet moon trove gate within him burst open, and unleashed an unheard-of gravitational force.

This quote does not appear in any previous chapter, but it does combine a few different things that were mentioned earlier in the story, mostly by Master Seventh, but also echoed by other characters. The further we get into the story, the more I’m finding mistaken references on the part of the author, tiny mistakes, or continuity errors. I’ll do my best to edit them, but in some cases I don’t think it’s appropriate, such as here. ☜
