Chapter 1770: Chapter 478: The Blood-Red Path, Collective Devilic Transformation
Back in the day when one peeked upon it, the center of the entire world was an endless ocean far surpassing the land, with an enormous vortex there.
Taking another look now, the center of that boundless sea no longer has the gigantic vortex.
Where the vortex was, only a vast land remains.
Using the remnants of a world, it fills the void there.
Yu Ziqing just glanced at it and then continued forward.
After an unknown period of time, he sensed the surrounding light twisting, the blood color growing more intense, and amidst the endless radiance, a palace appeared.
At first glance, it looked like the lair of some Devil Dao giant, the carved beams and painted rafters all in a devilish style, the statues crouching on the corners made entirely of eerie white bones.
Shrouded in a blood-red light, filled with a sinister ominous aura, strands of cursed essence transformed into soul-eating monsters drifting about.
Yu Ziqing grinned maniacally, casually grabbed one, bit off its head in one gulp, tasted it, and spat it out with a loud sound.
"What trash, doesn’t even have a bit of flavor."
The soul-eating monster hurriedly flew up, picked up its head, reattached it to its neck, and quickly flew further away.
The other cursed essences also distanced themselves from Yu Ziqing, afraid of getting eaten.
The fire bird couldn’t help but move closer to Yu Ziqing’s head; although Yu Ziqing was the most terrifying, at least for now he wasn’t harming it, and didn’t seem to recognize it.
Sticking close to Yu Ziqing, it was safe here.
Seeing they were almost there, Yu Ziqing could make it on his own, so the fire bird stopped leading, directly closed its eyes, turned its head 180 degrees, buried it under its wing, seeing and hearing nothing, focusing only on survival.
In case it learned too much, it felt sooner or later it would meet its end.
Yu Ziqing, walking on the radiance, descended from the sky with great swagger, landing in the Moon Palace.
Upon seeing the Moon God, Yu Ziqing suddenly felt that this look was truly very Moon God-like, as if the Moon God should naturally look this way.
Except for that blood-red long dress, which was somewhat out of place.
And the surrounding environment, none of it resembled the Moon Palace he had in mind.
The Cliff Divine King, his evil deeds will eventually lead to his demise.
Entering the Moon Palace, feeling the extremely dense moonlight energy, Yu Ziqing’s face constantly changed, his form was showing signs of completely losing its human shape.
"Don’t bolster it too much, I can barely hold on."
The Moon God sized up Yu Ziqing, seeing his face resembling a hungry ghost, covered in an ominous aura even stronger than that of the current Moon Palace, she actually breathed a sigh of relief.
The Yu Ziqing she envisioned, should indeed be like this, just a mere ominous aura.
Appearance doesn’t matter at all.
Unfortunately, Yu Ziqing thought appearance mattered, the Moon God should not be like this.
So, upon arriving here, he said.
"Without the auspicious beast, I’ll try first, if it doesn’t work, then we’ll see."
He waved his hand, using himself as the source of the Three Calamities’ power, producing and utilizing it himself to cast the rosy clouds divine skill, proceeding quite smoothly.
Seven-colored rosy clouds dispersed, enveloping the entire Moon Palace.
In an instant, the Moon Palace, once resembling a Devil Dao giant’s lair, gradually reverted to its former appearance under the glow of the rosy clouds.
Even the blood-red dress of the Moon God began to shed its red color from the hem, returning to a pure white untouched state.
She frowned slightly, silently enduring the pain of the transformation.
When the rosy clouds dissipated, the Moon Palace restored to its original appearance, and so did the Moon God, Yu Ziqing then dispersed the rosy clouds.
The Moon God, in a white dress, appeared gentle and cold, her brows softened, she just clasped her hands in salute.
"Thank you..."
She hadn’t finished speaking, when she saw her long skirt covered in blooming blood-red like roses, slowly beginning to stain.
The entire Moon Palace, too, began once again to transform into a Devil Dao giant’s lair, this time at a speed much faster than before.
"As expected, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."
Yu Ziqing felt a bit regretful, but he did it, and he indeed saw the original appearance of the Moon God, perfectly matching the image he had in mind of what a Moon God should be.
Yet this downfall only involved a change of dress color and makeup, the appearance remained unchanged.
Such a perfunctory setup, surely Juice had a bit of misunderstanding, he definitely wasn’t such a superficial person.
The true form was anchored very thoroughly, the thing Yu Ziqing worried about the most definitely wouldn’t happen.
Just as Yu Ziqing, influenced by the blood moon, went to the Moon Palace.
Time passed day by day.
The new Emperor Li realized the blood moon wouldn’t pass in just a day or two, and after confirming the influence, the first thought was the same as Yu Ziqing’s, to ask the hungry ghosts for help.
She did what she thought, in the name of the new Dali emperor, sent people to find the Deceitful Ghost to strike a deal.
She invited many hungry ghosts to the southern part of Dali, in case the West Desolate Army showed signs of corruption, immediately pull them over for an Almsgiving Ceremony.
On the other hand, the Dragon Elephant Army was much more extravagant.
The Deceitful Ghost was generous, bringing sweet rain, performing the ceremony for everyone in the army of a hundred thousand Dragon Elephants.
If there were ailments, they treated them; if not, they did it for maintenance, anyway, to cleanse as much as possible.
Several days later, as the full moon drew nearer, the influence of the blood moon grew stronger.
The Daqian’s King Lian couldn’t sense those forces, yet from changes in the army, deduced that if no action were taken, a mutiny might occur soon.
