Chapter 646 Golden Crow Swallows The Sun (1)
?
Outside Mount Morning Glow, beside the canyon, Xu Qing squatted there and took a look before turning to leave.
Behind him, sounds of wailing and furious roars furious roars, accompanied by thunderous rumbling, resonated throughout the surroundings.
Shortly after, Smoke Race puppets rushed out of the canyon. Their divine senses erupted at full strength and swept through the surroundings with grief, indignation, and fury.
The canyon was in a state of chaos, with only a handful of surviving members from the once hundreds of Smoke Race members. Most had died body and soul from Xu Qing's Poison Restriction.
Xu Qing's poison was too vicious.
Even those who didn't die were wailing in pain. No matter what they did, they couldn't stop the rotting state of their bodies. They could only watch helplessly as their fog bodies corroded and gradually turned into dust.
The magic treasure they were placing in the canyon was also damaged by this unforeseen event. The envelopment of the poison mist caused the anomalous substances in the magic treasure to rapidly aggravate, decreasing its durability.
"Who is it!"
Shouts rang out from outside the canyon. The seven to eight Smoke Race Nascent Soul cultivators controlled their puppets, anxiously searching for the culprit.
Their puppets were also rapidly rotting under the Poison Restriction. Even their true bodies, which were hiding, couldn't escape from the Poison Restriction.
Hence, they were extremely anxious. They wanted to find the true culprit and find the antidote. Even though they had to hide themselves according to the plan, they couldn't care less now. They erupted with full strength and spread out to search.
However, Xu Qing's concealment jade slip was given to him by Fairy Zi Xuan. It wasn't something these Nascent Soul cultivators could see through. Moreover, after he released the poison earlier, he had only taken a glance before leaving. Now, he was already close to Mount Morning Glow.
After sensing the energy fluctuations in the direction of the canyon, Xu Qing was expressionless. He was going to wait for all the Smoke Race members there to die before going over to investigate.
"Under normal circumstances, they would definitely die in two hours. In that case, waiting six hours should be even more safe." Xu Qing pondered and moved forward rapidly. However, at this moment, an intense palpitation suddenly erupted in his mind.
Xu Qing abruptly turned his head. His breathing became slightly hurried as he sensed an astonishing aura coming from the direction of the canyon. This aura was filled with terror but he was also somewhat familiar with it.
As the aura appeared, the environment under the abyssal sea was also affected. The anomalous substances clearly became more active.
What shocked Xu Qing even more was that everything here began to distort and turn blurry.
"God!"
Xu Qing thought of the old man from the Painting Race and instantly determined the source of this aura. His expression turned gloomy as he sped up.
He could sense that this aura didn't erupt from the canyon but rushed into the canyon from another direction.
"It should be attracted by the energy fluctuations there!"
"Didn't this god's finger bring the painting old man to find the sun's remains? Why would it come hereā¦ Are there sun's remains in the canyon?"
Xu Qing's breathing was hurried. Previously, after he found out about this from the head, he hadn't taken it to heart. He was well aware that the difference between him and that god's finger was too great, so he didn't think of looking for it.
Instead, he had planned to report this matter to the Sword Holding Palace after completing the mission.
Moreover, the Morning Glow Province was so big, so the possibility of them encountering each other wasn't inevitable.
After all, the remains of the sun had long been searched for and taken away by the human race and the various forces.
The vicinity of Mount Morning Glow was searched extra thoroughly, so it was impossible for the sun's remains to exist here.
Hence, in such a large Morning Glow Province, the probability of him encountering the god's finger wasn't high.
"Did the head and the stone lion attract it?" Xu Qing gloomily looked at the stone lion.
The stone lion immediately trembled and continued to sway its body, as though it wanted to tell Xu Qing that all of this had nothing to do with it. The head also hurriedly spoke.
"Lord, it's not me. It's really not me. I don't have the ability to lure the god's finger over."
The head was about to cry. He was really innocent.
Killing intent flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. He made up his mind that after he was safe, he would definitely teach the stone lion and the head a lesson. He retracted his gaze and continued to speed forward.
He didn't dare to use the power of the Poison Restriction and restrained it completely. The Poison Restriction had a concealment effect and it was obvious from how it was able to conceal the aura of the Purple Moon. However, that was when the Red Moon wasn't nearby, so the Poison Restriction was able to display an effect of blocking the signal.
Now, he wasn't sure if it would have the opposite effect if he used it.
Xu Qing anxiously used all his might to activate the concealment jade slip. However, in just over ten breaths of time, the energy fluctuations behind him suddenly became intense. The blurriness and distortion in the surroundings were also more intense than before.
When that palpitation erupted to the extreme, a terrifying divine sense spread out from the fog behind Xu Qing, enveloping the surroundings.
It enveloped Xu Qing as well.
Immediately after, rumbling sounds rang out in all directions. Amidst the intense blurriness, an astonishing finger that was a thousand feet long suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's body shook. All the parts of his body trembled intensely, sending him a monstrous sense of danger.
They even showed signs of separating and becoming independent entities. His body continued to twist, as though it was about to break into pieces.
Xu Qing didn't hesitate at all. The power of the Poison Restriction and the Purple Moon in his body erupted at the same time, enveloping his entire body as he rapidly retreated.
However, it was useless.
This time around, it was different from when it was in the Prison Department. In the Prison Department, this finger was in a suppressed state. However, it was free now. Although it had been heavily injured when it broke out of prison, no matter how serious its injuries were, it wasn't something Xu Qing could resist.
