1088 I Am the New Moon, Call Me Lord Purple!
A world painted in red, eerie silhouettes, and a sinister chant.
These elements together composed the world of the Red Moon Star.
It was also… the divine land of Crimson Goddess.
All cultivators who arrived couldn’t escape the invasion of the anomalous substances. Their souls would be corroded by the chanting and their consciousness would unknowingly be affected, raising endless devotion to Crimson Goddess.
No matter what cultivation level they had.
The first to be affected was the fifth princess.
Her body trembled and the color of her robe was changing to red. It was the same for Old Eighth. The heir and Princess Mingmei were also shaken.
The captain wasn’t much better either. At that moment, his breathing was hurried and his eyes revealed even more madness. One malevolent face after another appeared in his eyes, and his entire body shone with blue light.
Only Xu Qing… stood here without being affected.
With the enhancement from the Red Moon, he felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity with this world.
He even had a feeling that… he could influence this world to a certain extent.
Just as he was about to give it a try, Old Ninth took a step forward and raised his right hand before slashing down.
The world rumbled as a black sword light came from the sky, sweeping across the ground and all the figures in front of it.
Wherever the sword light passed, the ground collapsed and countless figures were killed. However, at the next instant… everything returned back to normal.
The chanting continued.
Invasion continued.
The expressions of the heir and the others darkened. A cold glint flashed in Old Ninth’s eyes and he was about to continue.
“It’s useless. This is a divine land. Right now, Crimson Goddess hasn’t awakened, so Her will hasn’t spread out. Otherwise, with a thought, everything here would be drowned by Her will.”
The captain spoke in a low voice.
“Back then, I obtained a drop of mysterious blood, so I could transform into a mosquito and cross this place. However, I used up that drop of blood…”
“The Moon Palace is the oldest palace in this world. It doesn’t have a fixed location and can be anywhere, even in the grains of sand and void. Crimson Goddess… is sleeping in the depths of the Moon Palace!”
When Xu Qing heard this, he glanced at the captain. This was his first time here. It was the same for the heir and the others!
Only the captain… this wasn’t his first time.
“I’ll give it a try.” Xu Qing nodded and walked forward under the gazes of the heir and the others.
As he walked, the power of the Red Moon’s authority on his body spread out. A vortex of blood formed around him, gradually growing larger. The feeling of familiarity grew even more intense in Xu Qing’s heart.
He even had an impulse to… change the color of this star!
However, this was too serious. Xu Qing could only suppress this impulse and close his eyes. He used his authority to spread throughout the entire Red Moon Star to search for the Moon Palace.
As time passed, the heir and the others were increasingly affected by the invasion. Yet, the Moon Palace was still not found.
Xu Qing furrowed his brow, and at that moment, the Red Moon Star also exhibited a strong repulsive reaction. The earth trembled, indicating that the ruler couldn’t hold it in place for too long.
It was difficult for him to fix the trajectory of this Red Moon star.
The captain sighed and looked at the heir and the others.
“Looks like I can only wake the ruler in advance. Otherwise, we won’t be able to find the Moon Palace, and this stalemate is disadvantageous for us. However, regardless of whether it’s the ruler awakening or my other methods, it will inevitably wake Crimson Goddess up…”
“I can help you find it!” Before the captain could finish speaking, the Ancient Spirit Emperor’s eye on Xu Qing’s cloak transmitted Its divine sense.
“But once I take action, Crimson Goddess will similarly wake up. Also, if I succeed, I want half of the spoils!”
The captain looked at the Ancient Spirit Emperor, and the heir and the others narrowed their eyes.
The Ancient Spirit Emperor wasn’t in a hurry and waited for everyone to make their choice.
At that moment, Xu Qing suddenly spoke.
“Since Crimson Goddess will awaken no matter what we do to find the Moon Palace, then… I have a method that I can give a try!”
After saying that, Xu Qing took more than ten steps forward and stopped in front of a flickering figure.
He lifted his head and looked at the sky before looking at the ground. Finally, his gaze landed on the figure in front of him. As he listened to the chanting in his ears, he let go of the impulse in his heart.
“There should be no two masters of the Red Moon’s authority!”
A red glow slowly appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. At this moment, his divinity was intentionally released and fused with the Red Moon Star.
This scene caused the eyes of the heir and the others to narrow. The captain’s eyes also gleamed.
The Ancient Spirit Emperor also fluctuated.
‘Especially… since Crimson Goddess is currently in a deep sleep and hasn’t woken up yet.’
At the moment when everyone’s hearts were in turmoil, Xu Qing closed his eyes and the blood light in his entire body instantly soared. His body even became blurry and completely fused with the red color here, turning into a part of the red light that could only be vaguely seen.
The entire Red Moon Star suddenly trembled.
The chanting in the surroundings suddenly stopped at this instant. For the first time, countless figures changed their postures. They lifted their heads in unison with their hands covering their eyes, as though they were somehow attracted by Xu Qing’s authority and were ‘staring’ at him.
After a long time, Xu Qing, who had fused with the red light and turned blurry, opened his eyes. His deep voice echoed in all directions.
“I am the new moon. I was born in Wanggu. All living beings call me Lord Purple.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the blood light outside Xu Qing’s body instantly changed and turned purple. This purple color rapidly spread and grew increasingly dense. From afar, it actually transformed into a Purple Moon!
As Xu Qing walked toward the sky, the Purple Moon… rose into the air!
At that moment, the color of the sky changed and a storm brewed. The Red Moon Star trembled intensely. As the ground trembled, all the figures in the surroundings trembled with it.
There was also a dense power of the Red Moon that surged into the sky from this star, transforming into a red storm with a hint of purple that swept through the sky and land. Wherever it passed, the flickering figures would tremble.
The heir and the others were even more surprised. As for Old Ninth, who had always been quiet, his expression turned solemn as he gazed at Xu Qing.
“He’s tampering with Crimson Goddess’ chanting!”
“Change red to purple!” The heir said in a low voice.
“A great opportunity, a great fortune!” The cloak formed by the Ancient Spirit Emperor suddenly left Xu Qing’s body.
As for the captain, he was laughing very happily. There was a hint of sighing and ruefulness in the depths of his eyes.
‘It’s been a long time since I saw the Purple Moon…’
The purple moon rose into the air. Due to the appearance of the Purple Moon, there was an additional hint of purple in the red that was present everywhere in this world!
This purple color rapidly covered the ground and diffused to the sky. In the end, the colors of the illusory figures in the surroundings also changed. Gradually, there was a purple color mixed in them. At the same time, the chanting voice also changed.
“Master of the New Moon, guide the Wanggu. Mourn for all living beings, and enjoy paradise.”
“Sacrificing our bodies for our lord, this life is not painful, with dawn and dusk as the curtain, our bodies remain incorruptible.”
“The new moon’s master was born in Wanggu, all beings respectfully call him Lord Purple.”
“Sacrificing our souls for our lord, on the other side, there is grace, the melody of eternal joy, and another life awaits.”
As they chanted the modified prayer, the color of all the figures rapidly turned purple at this moment. Even this star appeared purple!
This scene was not only seen by everyone here but also by some of the large regions in the Wanggu Continent!
In reality, the neighboring regions always paid attention to the arrival of the Red Moon Star. At that moment, in the palace of the white sand land in the Holy Wave Large Region, Grand Duke Holy Wave, who had broken through Nihility and advanced into the Soul Accumulation Realm, suddenly opened his eyes from meditation.
As he opened his eyes, the sky above the Holy Wave Large Region surged, forming a pair of eyes within, gazing intently at the Moon Worship.
“Purple has appeared in the Red Moon! The authority of Crimson Goddess is being changed…”
“What… is happening there?”
At the same time, emotions of horror rose in the Black Heaven Region.
Back then, due to the Grand Imperial Capital Region using the Suns of Dawn, the Black Heaven Race had suffered heavy losses. While the entire region was sealed off, they were constantly conducting sacrificial rituals and calling out to their god.
However, this summons remained unanswered. Until today, the high priests within the Black Sky Clan experienced unprecedented tremors and panic in their minds.
A scene emerged in their minds.
On the scene, the red moon was changing.
They weren’t the solely ones. In Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race’s region that bordered the Moon Worship Region, the cultivators sensed that the red light from the Moon Worship Region had turned purple.
If this was the case in the foreign regions, there was no need to mention the Moon Worship Region itself.
At this moment, the beings within the Moon Worship Region, trembling and uneasy, were shocked to discover that the colors of the sky and earth had changed.
The Red Moon Star in the sky was gradually transforming into Purple Moon.
If this continued, the moment Xu Qing completely replaced the Red Moon and transformed it entirely into purple, he… would become the new god.
However, this was obviously impossible since Crimson Goddess was still alive.
Crimson Goddess didn’t wake up when the Black Heaven Race suffered heavy losses.
She also didn’t stop the destruction of the Red Moon Shrine.
Even though Ruler Li Zihua had revived and halted the Red Moon Star, and his finger evenly pierced the cloud barrier, landing on the Red Moon’s soil, this huge commotion still didn’t awaken Her.
Clearly, devouring and absorbing the master of the land of the wicked wasn’t that easy for Crimson Goddess.
But now, as the color of the Red Moon changed, She had no choice but to stop absorbing.
A terrifying aura instantly erupted throughout the Red Moon Star. In an instant, the red color of the entire star soared and a vast blood-colored palace emerged above everyone.
It was… the Moon Palace!
This palace was ancient, constructed from giant stones, exuding a sense of antiquity. Bathed entirely in blood-red, it radiated an unparalleled divine aura..
There was also a huge totem on the tightly-shut gate.
This totem transformed into a malevolent face.
It wasn’t Crimson Goddess but a six-eyed face. At this moment, all six eyes opened, ignoring everyone and looking at Xu Qing, emitting a low roar.
“Those who blaspheme against the god will face a calamity of a thousand deaths!”
