Legend had it that the Immemorial Heavenly Dao were formed by the victorious side in the ancient battle of immortals and gods. They were formed with supreme methods and into this world, bearing the mission of suppression and protection.
They suppressed the Brilliant Heaven and concealed the taboo, transforming everything into a suitable environment for cultivation, and thereby protecting cultivators.
Each of them had a long history, had their own myths and legends, and possessed terrifying power. In that era, they transformed into laws, imparting rules to the Wanggu, allowing cultivators to thrive in this world, propagate from generation to generation, until they became the masters of this realm.
Countless years later, under the protection of the Immemorial Heavenly Dao, races appeared one after another in the Wanggu Continent. Gradually, there were thousands of races and it was incomparably prosperous.
Every ancient sovereign who had unified Wanggu was actually an existence recognized by the Immemorial Heavenly Dao.
In a sense, these 99 Immemorial Heavenly Dao were the guardians of the Wanggu Continent.
Time would pass, dynasties would change, and the myriad races would have their ups and downs. Only these 99 Immemorial Heavenly Dao continued to exist since ancient times, witnessing the prosperity of the Wanggu Continent time and time again.
Of course, during this period, there were also some things that angered the heavens.
For instance, the Ancient Spirit Emperor, who had once unified the entire Wanggu Continent, had gone crazy in his later years and tried to possess the Immemorial Heavenly Dao. Hence, he attracted the descent of 99 true bodies of the Immemorial Heavenly Dao and was suppressed.
The entire Ancient Spirit Dynasty collapsed and the Ancient Spirit Race was cursed. The Ancient Spirit Emperor also paid a heavy price.
From this, one could see the status of the Immemorial Heavenly Dao in the entire Wanggu Continent.
It was only when the god's fragmented-face arrived that everything changed. The fragmented-face was above the Heavenly Dao. To a certain extent, this was another confrontation between immortals and gods.
As for the outcome… although the Immemorial Heavenly Dao were still there, they were severely suppressed and weakened. They were far weaker and the entire Wanggu Continent was invaded by anomalous substances.
The fragmented-face changed everything. All living beings were like insects in front of It. Only the Immemorial Heavenly Dao were struggling, barely maintaining their mission. However, it was difficult for them to escape the fate of being invaded.
This was also the reason why Li Zihua, who clearly had the ability to summon the Heavenly Dao, still died in battle.
The Heavenly Dao had weakened.
However, it was different today. Although the 99 Heavenly Dao were even weaker than when Li Zihua summoned them back then, Crimson Goddess' opponent wasn't just Li Zihua.
With the addition of the Moon Flame, the arrival of the Star Flame, and the appearance of the Ancient Spirit Emperor, coupled with Li Zihua's combat strength, Crimson Goddess was facing a rare crisis.
Crimson Goddess was indeed powerful and possessed terrifying abilities. She had once devoured three high gods and was also one of the rare gods in the Wanggu Continent who didn't hide and showed Herself often.
Gods could devour each other, so most of them weren't willing to expose Their tracks. For example, the master of the wicked land, the fish bone god, and the ones Xu Qing had seen before.
Only Crimson Goddess chose to ignore it to a certain extent due to Her strength.
However, She wasn't invincible; encountering multiple gods cooperating could still pose a threat to Her.
However… the characteristics of the gods determined that the possibility of Them joining forces was extremely slim.
However, today, this extremely small probability appeared in front of Her.
At that moment, under the siege of two high gods, an ancient sovereign who was no longer at His peak, and a ruler in his peak state, Crimson Goddess was already at a disadvantage. Hence, the Immemorial Heavenly Dao that descended at this critical moment were fatal to her.
This was especially so when… the number of Heavenly Daos wasn't right!
Crimson Goddess discovered it, Li Zihua discovered it, the two high gods discovered it, and the Ancient Spirit Emperor's eyes fluctuated violently.
He was the one who understood the Immemorial Heavenly Dao the most. Hence, He immediately sensed that there was an additional Immemorial Heavenly Dao!
"A hundred?"
The Ancient Spirit Emperor was surprised. At the same time, on the ground of the Moon Palace, the hearts of the heir and the others trembled. From what they knew, there were only 99 Immemorial Heavenly Dao from the start.
They were very clear that it was impossible for them to remember wrongly, but now, a hundredth had appeared.
As for the Immemorial Heavenly Dao that appeared last, it was in the form of a baby. Its skin was green and was covered in countless ancient marks. Its body also had some sharp spikes, especially its hands that were like claws. One would feel a chill just by looking at it.
However, this one clearly hadn't grown up and was climbing a little slowly. It was as though there was a mistake in its sense of direction. It couldn't accurately respond to Li Zihua's summoning and locate the descent like the other Immemorial Heavenly Dao.
It was as though this Immemorial Heavenly Dao had been sleeping before Li Zihua's summoning had triggered its mission as the Immemorial Heavenly Dao. That was why it woke up in a daze. It narrowed its eyes and crawled instinctively.
However… as it crawled, due to its lack of sense of direction, it clearly wasn't far from here a moment ago. However, at the next instant, it appeared in the spacetime further away and completely deviated from this place. Moreover, it continued forward with indomitable will.
This scene stunned the heir and the others.
Although Xu Qing and the captain's voices fell into their ears, very few people would associate their words with this. After all… it was almost impossible for anyone to believe immediately that their son was the Immemorial Heavenly Dao.
At the same time, the suppression of the 99 Immemorial Heavenly Dao that appeared first had already begun.
One could see their figures heading straight for the abstract painting and rapidly merging into it. They suppressed Crimson Goddess in a way Xu Qing couldn't understand.
Immediately, the red color in the abstract painting collapsed and began to dim. There was also a heart-rending sound that echoed sharply.
While they were fighting, the giant baby was leaving…
"Son, Daddy is here!"
The captain and Xu Qing looked at the giant baby in the sky and its departing figure. Their breathing was hurried and the captain couldn't help but shout.
"Son, Daddy is here!"
As he spoke, he even pulled Xu Qing, indicating for him to hurry up and call out as well.
Xu Qing didn't hesitate and immediately transmitted his divine sense.
"I'm here!"
The instant their voices rang out, the battle in the abstract painting continued, but the giant baby in the sky suddenly stopped crawling. Its eyes tried their best to open completely and its head was lifted. Its ears were moving and its expression was confused.
Seeing this, the captain's eyes were filled with excitement as he shouted again. Xu Qing also continued to release his divine sense to call out to him.
Very soon, the confusion on the giant baby's face was replaced by a hint of surprise. It was as though it had heard and confirmed the voice and location of its family. It quickly turned its body and crawled toward Xu Qing and the captain.
After confirming the location and sensing its family, the giant baby erupted with even greater strength. As the color of the sky changed and the wind blew, the giant baby appeared on the Red Moon Star and in the sky of the Moon Palace.
The instant it crawled here, it turned its head and looked at Xu Qing and the captain, letting out a babbling sound.
As this sound rang out, it transformed into heavenly lightning that rumbled in all directions, causing Xu Qing and the captain to cough up blood.
After that, the giant baby exerted strength in its legs and actually stood up. Like a giant, it stumbled toward Xu Qing and the captain, as though it wanted to hug them…
However, before it got close, a terrifying fluctuation erupted from its body, forming a storm that seemed to be able to destroy the world, forcing Xu Qing and the captain to retreat. The heir and the others were also shocked and retreated separately.
One could imagine that once it got close, the consequences would be extremely great for everyone.
Seeing this, the captain panicked and hurriedly shouted.
"Son, son, don't come over yet. There's a bad woman here. Go and beat up the bad woman. The red one is the bad woman!"
The giant baby stopped in its tracks and looked at Xu Qing and the captain. Its expression was a little aggrieved and at a loss. Just as it was about to continue babbling, the suppression of the 99 Immemorial Heavenly Dao in the sky caused the heart-rending cries of Crimson Goddess to penetrate space and time, echoing outside the abstract painting.
As soon as this voice rang out, the bodies of the heir and the others immediately showed signs of collapse.
The captain's body even exploded and turned into a worm, making it difficult for him to continue forming.
Although Xu Qing possessed the body of a god, he still couldn't withstand the sharp sound. In the blink of an eye, half of his body turned to dust. The purple crystal continued to restore him, but the intense pain brought about by this spread through his entire body like a tide.
When this scene fell into the giant baby's eyes, its body instantly trembled and the expression on its tiny face was replaced by extreme anger. Clearly, Xu Qing and the captain's injuries caused the giant baby to be infuriated.
It suddenly turned its head and stared fixedly at the red color in the vortex. A mournful babbling sound came from its mouth as it quickly crawled over. In the blink of an eye, it got close and fused into the vortex of the abstract painting.
With its addition, Crimson Goddess' state became even more miserable.
The Moon Flame, Star Flame, and the Ancient Spirit Emperor seized this opportunity and spread out their divine origins. In a way that Xu Qing and the others couldn't understand, they actually caused this abstract painting to stop!
It wasn't just the painting that was still but everything in the Moon Palace.
Regardless of whether it was the rules, laws, spacetime, and so on, all of them seemed to have been sealed at this instant.
It was the same for Xu Qing and the others' figures and lives. Everything on the Red Moon Star froze.
After losing the concept of time, it was impossible to describe how much time possessed passed. It could be an instant or a lifetime. In short, at the next moment, a crack emerged on the abstract painting in the sky.
The crack became the only moving object. It spread out and rapidly emerged in the whole painting like a tree branch.
If one took a closer look, they would see that these cracks… were all above red.
The red color was shattering!
Finally, the painting collapsed silently. All the redness inside… turned into nothingness in the blink of an eye!
A sturdy sense of sorrow spread in the Moon Palace and the Red Moon Star. It churned in the whole Moon Worship Region and even spread further, causing the hidden divine creatures and gods to sense it.
That was caused by the decline of a god!
A god possessed fallen.
The greatest sorrow wasn't in the Red Moon Star but in the land of the wicked. The instant the god died, innumerable wails rang out from the land of the wicked in an unknown place.
The land of the wicked trembled and the souls were in chaos. The cries of sorrow turned into a storm that would howl eternally.
