1003 Can’t See Me, Can’t Remember Me, Forget Me
Time flowed by.
Five days passed.
It had been eight days since the light of the Red Moon appeared on the horizon.
During these eight days, the crimson red at the end of the sky has transformed into a shape resembling a crescent moon. Numerous bands of light, thick like blood, continue to spread.
If the entire sky was treated as a vast curtain, then in just those few days, the red color had already spread to about two-thirds of the area.
According to this speed, in about a year, the entire sky would turn completely red.
That was the day the Red Moon would arrive, the moment when the funeral bells rang for all living beings in the entire Moon Worship Region.
The countdown had begun.
As death came, there was no longer a need to suppress the final madness, so it was released in full.
The slaughter erupted everywhere.
It was the same for cultivators and mortals.
The strong bullied the weak, the weak oppressed the even weaker, and the even weaker resisted desperately, with desperate roars echoing in the ferocity.
The frantic screams before death turned the world into hell where demons ran rampant.
It was the same for the green sand desert.
All factions experienced varying degrees of madness in these eight days: killing and being killed became the new rule.
One faction after another fell apart and mortal cities became places for cultivators to vent the despair in their hearts.
The earth city where Xu Qing’s apothecary was located was also a target.
In these eight days, there were hundreds of crazy people who came to wreak havoc. They wanted to give their pain to others indiscriminately.
It seemed that witnessing others in greater pain allowed them to find extreme happiness at the end of their lives.
However, they didn’t know that in the entire green sand desert, there was a place that was more dangerous than the Red Moon Shrine here. Therefore, all the demons entering this earth city underwent varying degrees of transformation the moment they stepped in.
Some directly disappeared.
Some lost all their madness and smiled again, happily becoming residents of this earth city.
In the backyard of the apothecary in earth city, the heir had an additional hobby and Ning Yan also had an additional job.
That was to raise chicks.
In just eight days, there were more than 20 little chicks in the backyard. They were trembling as they ate, not daring to escape. There were even many times when they would hide in a corner, and the fear in their eyes was intense.
“Ah, do you guys not have eyes? Why come running here? Do you really want to become little chicks?” Ning Yan sighed, sprinkling feed as he shook his head in resignation.
He felt that cleaning the floor every day was hard enough, and now he had an additional job. So, he didn’t have a good opinion of these little chicks. At this moment, he kicked one away and spat on the ground.
The kicked little chick showed anger in its eyes and made protesting sounds, but there was nothing it could do. Even though it was at the perfected stage of Nascent Soul realm and its master was the strongest in the Bitter Life Mountain Range, it was now just a little chick.
When he thought of his experiences, grief and indignation rose in the heart of the little chick. He didn’t come here to vent his anger but on the orders of his master to investigate this mysterious apothecary. At the same time, he wanted to find out if Li Youfei was really here.
However, he didn’t expect that he would lose consciousness as soon as he entered this earth city. When he regained his senses, he had actually turned into a little chick.
This made him extremely terrified. However, in his heart, his master was like a heavenly existence. Hence, he still felt that as long as his master appeared, he would definitely have a way to save him.
“After Master realizes that I didn’t report on time, he will definitely know that something happened to me. Although this apothecary is mysterious, as long as Master comes, they will all die. After all, Master has the Red Moon Shrine behind him!”
“Especially this kid. I want to kill him personally!”
Just as the little chick gritted its teeth inwardly, Ning Yan kicked another one away and sighed.
“I wonder how Boss Xu is doing.”
“Ling’er cries every day and I don’t know where Chen Erniu is. Only the elder still sits there and drinks tea every day…”
Ning Yan shook his head and rubbed his hands. After scattering the feed, he turned and left.
At the same time, in the green sand desert, Xu Qing sprinted forward like a wild beast.
His eyes were bloodshot and purple light flickered on his body. The hunger invaded all his understanding and transformed into terrifying fluctuations that continued to erupt from his body.
Gradually, it formed a storm that rumbled the world.
And in the imperfect fusion of the concealment of human nature and the influx of divinity, a vortex formed, like an abyss capable of devouring everything, engulfing Xu Qing within.
He lost his self-awareness, lost the understanding of things, or more accurately, lost the judgment of being human.
It was as though a gap had been opened in the shackles given by the concept of humans.
Amidst the endless release, Xu Qing sank.
To him, any existence in this world could be a part of food. The phrase ‘beggars can’t be choosers’ perfectly described Xu Qing’s current state.
Regardless of whether it was the ferocious beasts in the desert, the walking mushrooms, or the aura blowing in the wind, he could devour them all.
Also, the anomalous substances in the world became like nectar.
They seemed to possess their own will and came from all directions on their own. They cheered and surged into Xu Qing’s body, nourishing his Poison Restriction and his Purple Moon.
Hence, not only did Xu Qing’s body shine with purple light, but there was also a halo spreading out. That was the Poison Restriction.
As he moved forward, his body gradually transformed into a purple light. Wherever he went, all the sand and gravel on the ground turned into ashes, as if a god was walking on the earth.
As for the group of ferocious beasts in the distance, they seemed to have lost the concept of fleeing. They were trembling there and their actions were controlled by the fear that came from their souls and instincts.
They allowed Xu Qing to walk over. Under his gaze, they decayed and transformed into nutrients that surged into Xu Qing’s body.
Occasionally, he would encounter powerful existences like mushrooms but even they couldn’t escape fate’s arrangements. As Xu Qing got closer, the anomalous substances in this area transformed into suppression that destroyed everything.
The sturdy outer shell offered no protection, unable to stop Xu Qing’s footsteps.
He entered the creature’s body, lifting his hands to grab pieces and crazily stuffing them into his mouth.
He even felt that it was a little slow to eat like this. Hence, mouths grew on his entire body and devoured them.
As for the left hand he had lost, it had long grown back. As long as Xu Qing felt that he needed it, it could be done with a thought. It was extremely simple.
The Purple Moon was active and the Poison Restriction was churning. The shadow was extremely afraid at this moment and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor didn’t dare to move.
“Forget me, forget me…”
The Diamond Sect’s ancestor prayed inwardly. The shadow was the same.
They were afraid and this fear came from their very source of life.
They had seen Xu Qing’s madness before but it had never made them feel despair like this.
This was because they could sense that Xu Qing would really devour them at this moment.
As long as he wanted to.
D132’s god’s finger was also afraid.
It woke up due to the stimulation. The instant It woke up, It was about to emit dissatisfied emotions. However, at the next instant, It sensed what was happening outside and Its mind stirred with monstrous rumbling.
It instantly restrained all Its aura and pretended to continue sleeping while trembling. However, the fear in Its heart couldn’t be described with words.
“This, this, this… What the hell is going on!!”
“I only took a nap. How did it become like this?!”
The god’s finger trembled and the horror in Its heart surged crazily. At that moment, It felt like It was facing the Crimson Goddess and the Ancient Spirit Emperor back then.
Xu Qing’s hunger made It feel that the other party could eat It at any time.
This perception caused It to feel despair and endless indignation.
It felt that even gods had fates, and It must have suffered the backlash of fate, invaded by Its own authority of misfortune, reaching the utmost of ill luck.
“I’ve hidden from the main body for countless years, afraid of being devoured. But then, to avoid the Ancient Spirit Emperor, I had no choice but to cooperate with him. However, who can tell me what’s going on? I hid until the end, hid in his stomach, yet he still wants to devour me!”
“No way, it’s impossible for him to grow so fast. If he wants to reach this step, it should be many years later.”
“And, he, like those who became gods by erasing their humanity and merging with divinity, relies on erasing his humanity to transition. This is different from noble beings like me, born as gods, so why am I terrified?”
“Also… his humanity is resisting divinity. Is he mad? Why resist? This is the reason why he fell into madness.”
The god’s finger was filled with grief and indignation. However, at that moment, Xu Qing’s body paused as though he was listening.
After this pause, the shadow pretended to be dead and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor shrank his head. D132’s god’s finger immediately closed Its eyes, not daring to move at all.
They were all praying inwardly.
“You can’t see me, you can’t remember me, forget me…”
Nervous emotions, anxiety, and uneasiness surfaced in their consciousness at the same time.
At the next moment, Xu Qing moved and headed straight for the distance. There… were even more delicious food there.
The shadow heaved a sigh of relief. The Diamond Sect’s ancestor raised his trembling head. D132’s god’s finger was filled with sorrow.
“There’s no point in resisting like this. If this guy continues like this, he’ll only become a divine sinner. Moreover, he’s a postnatal divine sinner.”
“There’s something wrong with him. Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible for me to feel such a terrifying feeling from someone who is touching the divinity!”
“The feeling he gives me doesn’t seem like that at all!”
“Damn it, what should I do, what should I do? Once he becomes a holy sinner, I’m finished. A divine sinner is a chaotic existence that can even eat itself clean when it’s hungry!”
Just as D132 was feeling incomparably anxious, the insanity in Xu Qing’s eyes intensified. He was getting closer and closer to the nourishment he sensed.
He could sense that the nourishment in front of him was unprecedentedly sweet, causing the desire in his heart to be incomparable. The feeling of hunger also rose to the extreme at this moment.
“Hungry… hungry…”
In front of him, on the desert, a individual stood there.
It was the captain!
He looked into the distance and watched the violet tempest rapidly approaching. His expression was no longer as casual as before and there was a uncommon solemnity in his eyes.
“Junior Brother…”
