Chapter 1526: Graveyard in the Rain

Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios

In the unknown memory fragment realm of Great Emperor Nether Flame, there was a massive chasm on the pitch-black plain.

It was like an abyss.

In the depths, an old man in a black robe was moving forward.

His appearance was no longer that of Nether Flame but an aged face.

It was the black-robed man who had appeared on the Dao Altar of the Demon

Feather Great Emperor.

The iron chains on his body rustled as he moved forward and emitted intense burning. However, these didn’t cause him any pain. Instead, excitement filled him.

“Almost there…”

The black-robed old man’s breathing became hurried. He quickened his pace and his speed became faster and faster. Finally, after fifteen minutes, he paused.

In front of him was the end of the abyss.

There was actually a well here.

Standing beside the well, the old man revealed an excited expression as he looked down.

There was water in the well and the surface of the water reflected a blurry

world.

That world was filled with darkness and death.

It was raining there…

“This is the place!”

The old man took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with determination as he headed straight for the well.

At the same time, in a memory fragment world that was like a fairyland with birds singing and fragrance of flowers, white clouds floated in the sky and immortal cranes flew gracefully.

Celestial mountains stood tall on the ground, shrouded in mist, revealing countless immortal palaces.

Outside the gate of the Seventeenth Immortal Palace, the young master of the

Yun family stood there, turning his head to gaze at the world, his voice hoarse as he murmured softly.

“It’s going to rain.”

With that, he pushed open the gate of the immortal palace in front of him.

The instant the gate opened, the wind stirred in the sky of this world.

Vaguely, there seemed to be humidity permeating the world.

Inside the open immortal palace, it was dim and raining.

The Yun family’s young master walked in with a respectful expression as though he was on a pilgrimage.

At the same time, everyone from the West Demon Feather and Lin Kun from the

East Demon Feather used their own methods to leave the memory fragment realms they were teleported to.

They also used different methods to explore other memory fragment realms.

During this exploration, the same weather changes appeared in different memory fragments realms.

The clouds churned and rain fell.

“Is it raining?”

A drop of rain landed in front of Xu Qing and on the leaf of the Holy Heavenly

Vine.

In the dark gray sky, the crack was slowly healing. Only in other areas, clouds gathered, and raindrops began to fall.

The rain soaked Xu Qing, the ground, and the hair of the proudly speaking

Erniu.

“Eldest Senior Brother, let’s go.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke. His next target was to find the Empress.

After experiencing all the things in this bizarre place, Xu Qing felt that following the Empress was the safest.

However, it was obvious that Erniu didn’t think so.

He knew how tragic his state was on this star.

Moreover, after being stimulated by Xu Qing’s gorgeous appearance, the speed and intensity of Erniu’s heartbeat surpassed the past.

‘If I can’t take anything away from this godforsaken place, I’ll have suffered in

vain.’

He thought to himself but on the surface, he maintained a proud posture and calmly spoke.

“Little Qing, we don’t have to be in a hurry to leave. This star has already been conquered by your Eldest Senior Brother. Next is the time to pluck the fruits of fortune.”

“You’re quite lucky; your timing is perfect. As your senior brother, I won’t hold

it against you. I’ll let you witness my rise firsthand!”

Erniu raised his chin and swung his empty sleeve.

He put on a look of disdain.

However, his leg and hand, as well as his disheveled hair and his body that was riddled with holes, made him look a little miserable no matter how one looked at him.

Xu Qing sighed inwardly. He knew that his Eldest Senior Brother’s desire to win had appeared again.

He leaped down from the heavenly vine and stood in front of Erniu, asking

cooperatively.

“What opportunity?”

“Of course it’s the greatest fortune Great Emperor Nether Flame obtained here

back then!”

Erniu’s eyes were bright as he licked his lips. His gaze swept across the surroundings and looked at the barren planet that was filled with corpses and maggots. His voice was low.

“Little Qing, you just arrived and don’t know my experiences. I’ve already understood this place and analyzed the cause and effect.”

“Although the environment here is very bad, in reality, according to my judgment, the more ordinary-looking a place is, the greater the opportunities hidden.”

“After all, for this memory fragment of Great Emperor Nether Flame to be able to form a realm, it can be seen that he had an extremely deep impression of this place back then…”

“I’ve also analyzed during this period of time that the Great Emperor Nether Flame I transformed into was heavily injured and on the verge of death here. In that case, how did he recover? How did he leave this place?”

“Under normal circumstances, he would definitely die. However, he was able to leave.”

“This is enough to show that a huge opportunity is hidden here, and Great Emperor Nether Flame obtained this opportunity!”

“Because I’ve transformed into Nether Flame here, I’m the only one who can obtain this opportunity!”

Erniu’s words were precise. After listening, Xu Qing understood the cause and effect, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.

Hence, he also looked around and pondered.

Seeing that Xu Qing agreed with his judgment, Erniu increasingly felt that his guess was correct. Hence, he coughed.

“Therefore, my current sorry state and the fact that I was chased by those maggots earlier were all intentional. I was trying to experience the despair of the Great Emperor Nether Flame back then.”

Erniu moved around in a big circle and finally got to the point.

It had to be said that this wasn’t easy for Erniu. Moreover, his words seemed to make sense.

Xu Qing raised his brows and looked at Erniu.

“Eldest Senior Brother, have you found that opportunity?”

Erniu blinked.

“Just a little more. After many attempts, I only have two things that I didn’t

do.”

“One is to eat the maggots here, and the other is to die once!”

“Originally, it would have been very difficult for me to attempt the second choice. This is because I’ve analyzed that if Nether Flame obtained opportunities through death, he must have some rare treasure that can allow him to revive after death.”

“But I don’t have such a treasure…”

“However, after you came, I think there’s a method that can achieve a similar

effect…”

Erniu looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing met his gaze and instantly understood.

“Eldest Senior Brother, are you talking about the seven emotions and six desires threads formed by the Six Thieves Delusions that we share?”

Erniu nodded.

“That’s right. The authority of the six thieves is one, so the seven emotions and six desires threads can also be connected. We can see them as a rope.

“This rope can hang onto my greed and become a rope that can pull me out of death.”

“Let’s do it!”

At this point, Erniu’s eyes revealed madness. As the Six Thieves authority shone, the seven emotions and six desires threads appeared.

Seeing that Eldest Senior Brother was so decisive, Xu Qing thought about it and also circulated the Six Thieves authority, spreading out his seven emotions and six desires threads to fuse with Erniu’s.

The moment these threads overlapped and connected, an extremely intense greed and madness surged over from the Erniu’s threads.

His competitive spirit surged over as well.

“Are you sure?” Xu Qing asked.

“I’m sure. Don’t worry, my desire to survive might not be that strong, but my greed is enough. As long as my greed exists, nothing else will be a problem.” Erniu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. At the same time, he shot Xu Qing a look.

Xu Qing saw the determination of his Eldest Senior Brother and sensed that the threads of the seven emotions and six desires could indeed tug at the last shred of greed. Most importantly, he noticed this subtle look. Without showing any abnormality, he sat cross-legged.

Erniu also quickly sat down. He raised his single hand and ruthlessly slapped the top of his head.

With a boom, the top of his head caved in and he fell to the ground.

However, he didn’t die.

Just as he was on the verge of death, Erniu spoke weakly.

“Little Qing, help me. I can’t beat myself to death…”

Xu Qing’s expression was strange. He raised his right hand and pointed, landing on Erniu’s chest.

At the next moment, Erniu’s chest rumbled and his life force rapidly depleted.

Xu Qing focused and paid close attention to the seven emotions and six desires threads that were connected to Erniu. He was prepared to pull him out of death at the critical moment.

Time slowly passed.

Erniu’s body that had transformed into Nether Flame didn’t have much life force left. The instant it completely disappeared,

Xu Qing’s authority suddenly shone and he tugged with force.

Immediately, Erniu’s body trembled and greed erupted. His vitality was stimulated. As he took a breath, his eyes suddenly opened, revealing a dazed expression. After he quickly recovered, he was incomparably excited.

“I can sense the power of death… My previous analysis wasn’t wrong. Only by dying can we sense the opportunities here!”

“Little Qing, again. Save me a bit later this time.”

As Erniu spoke, he looked at Xu Qing expectantly.

Xu Qing was helpless. He raised his hand and slapped down.

Erniu fell to the ground and didn’t move.

This time, the moment his vitality dissipated, Xu Qing restrained his instinctive actions of pulling him out. Instead, he paid attention to the seven emotions and six desires threads. When even his greed dimmed, Xu Qing knew that he couldn’t wait anymore.

Hence, his authority erupted and he tugged fiercely. At the same time, the fate carving knife shone in his body.

With this tug, Erniu’s greed surged, trying to revive him.

However, at this moment, an aura of death spread out from this star and gushed over from Erniu’s body.

What manifested in the threads of the seven emotions and six desires was the appearance of gray fog, wanting to drown everything about Erniu.

A glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He knew that the thing his Eldest Senior Brother was waiting for had appeared.

He understood Erniu’s previous look well.

Without any delay, the fate carving knife flew out and slashed at the gray fog!

At the same time, Erniu’s previously dim greed seemed to have shed its concealment and erupted intensely at this instant. His greed soared into the sky and seemed to have transformed into a heavenly dog. It roared without making any sound and devoured the gray fog.

At the next instant, the color of the world changed.

The sky rumbled and the ground quaked.

On this desolate star, all the corpses opened their eyes in unison.

Countless maggots let out heart-rending cries. They trembled and continued to collapse.

As for Erniu, Xu Qing could clearly see that the gray fog in his body was rapidly returning to this star. However, in the end, there was still a wisp that was directly swallowed by Erniu’s greed.

At the same time, he looked inwardly at the fate carving knife he had retracted. There was also a wisp of gray fog on it. It was swept back after the carving knife slashed down earlier and was currently being absorbed by the carving knife.

This scene caused a strange glint in Xu Qing’s eyes.

Immediately after, an aura of death erupted from Erniu’s body, pushing him into the air.

The moment he floated in the air, the corpses on the planet lowered their heads and knelt down.

The maggots that didn’t die also curled up into a ball, emitting the thought of submission.

In the sky, Erniu’s eyes suddenly opened and turned gray.

At the next instant, the gray color disappeared and was replaced by greed. Erniu laughed wildly.

“I’ve conquered this star!”

Xu Qing’s heart calmed down. Just as he was about to speak, a sudden change occurred.

In this world, the rain from the sky poured down like a downpour, increasing by countless times compared to before, forming a rain line that transformed into an endless curtain of rain.

Amidst the rain, a world could be vaguely seen.

This world was dark and countless tombs were faintly discernible…

It was raining outside but it was also raining inside.

At this moment, the rain seemed to have become a medium, merging with everything. This included Erniu, who was laughing wildly in the air, and Xu Qing, whose expression had changed.

It devoured them all.
