The high priest’s ability – moving sky, swapping land, wind-catching, and shadow capture – was an extremely powerful move with Soul Accumulation power.
The captain’s counterattack, utilizing the parts of his past life body, displayed an extremely bizarre style and unleashed a terrifying power that shocked the onlookers.
The shock was especially high for the Red Moon’s side. Almost every one of them had seen these terrifying limbs and organs before and knew that they usually carried the temples. They were the ceremonial guards of the Red Moon Shrine when they went out.
Any one of them emitted a terrifying pressure.
Among them was the organ Xu Qing had seen in the Heavenly Fire Sea back then.
Countless years had passed, and the people in the Moon Worship Region had their own guesses about the origins of these organs and limbs. However, no matter what, they couldn’t imagine that these organs and limbs actually belonged to the previous life of that person who looked to only be at the Nascent Soul realm!
After all, the time the captain’s past life lived in was an era away from now. It was too long ago, so there were few who belonged to his era.
As such, these changes caused all the cultivators on both sides to be shocked and their expressions changed.
Following the madness in Erniu’s eyes, the large mouth that appeared in the sky suddenly enveloped the high priest like it was devouring the heavens and the earth.
There was also a large amount of saliva secreted from the large mouth, raining down in all directions.
The saliva was viscous and stood upright upon landing. It carried a strong corrosive intent and also possessed the power of sealing. It formed a curtain that locked everything in place.
When the high priest saw this, his expression couldn’t help but change drastically. An intense uneasiness rose in his heart. Just as he was about to counterattack, at the next instant, an unprecedented pain suddenly came from his eyes.
Under this intense pain, his spell was interrupted and the world in front of him changed. At the same time, countless afterimages appeared in the blurriness and counterattacked him.
The appearances of those afterimages were all captains.
Looking at this, the high priest’s expression was gloomy.
“Even if this pair of eyes really used to belong to someone else, it’s mine now!”
The high priest let out a cold snort and retreated. He didn’t care about the intense pain in his eyes and circulated his cultivation base, causing a burst of golden light to erupt from his body, rapidly combining into countless marks that expanded outward with a resounding roar.
During this process, blood flowed out of his eyes. At the same time, a face appeared in his pupils.
This face was none other than the captain’s.
He was laughing, his smile eerie. Within the eyes of this face, there was yet another face, one nested within the other. It was impossible to discern how many faces there were, but all seemed to be revealing the same eerie smile.
The appearance of these faces caused the high priest’s body to shake. His divine ability was about to be interrupted and his body even paused for a moment.
However, he was the high priest after all. Although his origins were unknown and his cultivation and body were pieced together, at this moment, he uttered an incantation.
“First green talisman life, cave abyss execution, demons and evil spirits, binded to the impoverished abyss!”
As he spoke, the golden light on his entire body became even more dazzling. The scattered marks also completed their combination at this moment, forming the figure of an extremely huge golden rhinoceros.
It roared at the sky. As the world rumbled, the golden rhinoceros rushed out and headed straight for the huge mouth in the sky.
With a loud crash, the big mouth bit directly onto the rhinoceros. In the clattering sound, the rhinoceros stood firm, and the big mouth could not continue biting.
Using this time, the high priest’s entire body flickered with golden light again. This time, it gathered in his eyes, causing the faces in his eyes to immediately distort.
Those faces seemed to be no match for the golden light and quickly dissipated. The high priest’s aura continued to purify with his eyes, rising steadily. It seemed he was about to break free and turn the situation around.
The captain sneered.
“A mere makeshift eye thief!”
He lifted his hands and waved them fiercely, letting out a deep shout.
“My past life body, turn into a mark, gather in this body, sealing fate and soul!”
The captain’s entire body erupted with blue light, forming a sea of blue light. He lifted his right hand and performed a series of hand seals, pointing at the high priest.
Immediately, all the organs of his previous life in the surroundings rumbled and rushed toward the high priest. They instantly got close with astonishing pressure.
At that moment, the high priest was resisting his eyes. Faced with this scene, his mind trembled and a life-and-death crisis appeared in his mind. At the critical moment, his body actually collapsed and transformed into a golden light that moved back, trying to escape.
However, at the next instant, Li Xiaoshan broke free from the restraints of the blood guards and arrived here in one step. He brandished the long blade in his hand and the killing intent in his eyes was strong as he slashed down.
This blade strike tore through the void, forming a ravine. It was also like a heavenly river that suddenly appeared as it slashed over.
The world rumbled.
It directly slashed at the golden light.
Li Xiaoshan spat out a mouthful of blood. He had used everything in this strike and suffered a huge backlash. His body shattered and his entire body was badly mangled. As he retreated, he was on the verge of death and fell to the ground.
However, the effect of his blade strike was huge. After the golden light was slashed, a heart-rending sound rang out and the golden light couldn’t help but pause in the air.
The instant it paused, the captain’s organs rapidly fused with it. The first to arrive were the limbs.
The limbs instantly blurred and fused into the high priest’s body. After that, it was his internal organs, neck, torso, head, ears, nose…
Finally, it was the huge mouth in the sky that bit through the golden barrier and swallowed the high priest, merging with him.
All of this sounded slow but in reality, it happened in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, all of the captain’s previous life body’s parts disappeared and fused into the high priest’s body.
At that moment, the high priest’s torso, limbs, internal organs, as well as the facial features of his head, everything belonged to the captain’s previous life body.
It was the same for his eyes. At that moment, blue light suddenly flickered and erupted in all directions, causing the world here to be filled with resplendent blue light.
The most astonishing thing was his appearance. At that moment, as his facial features were replaced by the captain’s previous life, his appearance changed. In the end, he had the exact same face as the captain.
The color of the sky changed and a storm brewed. This scene caused all the Red Moon cultivators in the surroundings to be in shock and disbelief.
Under the countless gazes, the aura of the high priest, who had been replaced by the captain’s previous life, fluctuated unstably. He seemed to be still struggling but his body could only stand on the spot and not move at all.
“How can my eyes be so easily controlled?”
“I’ll tell you the truth. The moment I am born in every life, I place restrictions on my body every day. Every day, I refine my body when I have the time. These restrictions and refinements accumulate over time, and in the end, even I am afraid of them.”
“And my body is my strongest magic artifact!”
“To deal with you today, one previous life is enough. If you still struggle, believe it or not, I’ll summon all my previous lives and crush you to death!”
The captain’s tone was arrogant as he looked at the high priest who had been replaced by his previous life. His words also attracted Xu Qing’s attention. He wasn’t surprised by Eldest Senior Brother’s success.
After all, the captain had prepared for this day for too long.
What surprised Xu Qing was the captain’s habit of putting restrictions on his body…
Hence, Xu Qing glanced at the captain’s body in this life.
“There are fewer restrictions in this life. After all, every time I do something big, I’ll lose an arm or a leg. Now, I’ve only finished refining my head.” Seeing Xu Qing’s gaze, the captain guessed Xu Qing’s thoughts and coughed.
Xu Qing had a strange expression as he nodded. He then looked at the motionless high priest.
“He…”
“There’s no need to bother about him. That eye thief’s soul isn’t simple. However, he can stop thinking about escaping the seal of my previous life. When my previous life slowly refines it, I’ll be able to control it!”
The captain had his hands behind his back and a smug expression on his face.
At this moment, the auras of both sides on the battlefield reversed. The high priest’s defeat caused the hearts of the Red Moon cultivators to collapse. Many of them had already begun to retreat, unwilling to continue participating in the battle.
On the other hand, the cultivators from the Moon Rebel Hall were imposing. For the sake of hope, freedom, and the future, they fought with everything they had.
Just as everything was progressing positively, a sudden change occurred.
A loud sound that surpassed thunder exploded from the Crimson Goddess’ mortal skin. This sound was extremely loud, as though the sky had split open. The moment it spread out, it formed a violent sound wave.
Wherever it passed, all the cultivators spat out blood and many of their bodies directly collapsed.
It was the same for Red Moon cultivators. Their bodies disintegrated under the sound waves and their bodies and souls were destroyed.
Both sides quickly retreated, far away from the Crimson Goddess’ mortal skin.
Xu Qing’s expression also changed. He abruptly turned his head and looked at the Crimson Goddess’ mortal skin with the captain.
Numerous cracks quickly spread on the surface of the Crimson Goddess’ mortal skin. Beams of blood light penetrated the cracks and illuminated the surroundings. At the same time, the Crimson Goddess’ mortal skin tore completely.
Five figures flew out of it. They were none other than the heir and the others.
Their expressions were extremely solemn. Each of them had injuries, especially the fifth princess and Old Eighth. There was still blood at the corner of their mouths and their eyes were filled with killing intent. At the same time, they were also shocked.
As for the heir, his chest was caved in and there was a huge hole in his heart. The wound couldn’t heal because… there was no heart inside.
Princess Mingmei’s expression was ugly. Her injuries weren’t light either.
Only Old Ninth looked alright. The battle intent in his eyes was intense. He was at the back, protecting his elder brother and the others.
“Retreat, He’s coming out!”
As they retreated, Old Ninth suddenly spoke.
The instant he spoke, a large amount of blood suddenly churned in the shattered Crimson Goddess’ mortal skin. It was as though there was a sea of blood connected to it. Now, the sea of blood surged out from the inner spring and flowed on the ruler’s statue, landing on the ground and quickly filling this place.
There was also a frightening aura rising from within.
That wasn’t the aura of a cultivator but the fluctuations of a god. The sky became blood red again, and it was even more so for the ground.
Right on the heels of that, under the convergence of countless gazes, a figure appeared from the Crimson Goddess’ mortal skin. Step by step, He stepped on the blood and walked out at a neither fast nor slow pace.
As He walked over, an overwhelming sense of oppression erupted, crushing everything in its path. The environment turned blurry and anomalous substances were born.
