On the Divine Mountain, in the sky, the divine aura of the Sun, Moon, and Star God blotted out the sky. The weather changed and the sky felt as though it was collapsing and couldn't be supported, forming a depression.
They were the center of attention.
In the center stood the Sun Flame God, Their figure ethereal, clad in what appeared to be a golden robe, Their gender ambiguous, seeming feminine yet with masculine features, a sun rising behind Them, flames engulfing the earth with Their overwhelming divine power.
To Their right stood the Moon Flame God, adorned in a silver gown, Her hem cascading down, seemingly able to cover the sky, Her countenance perfect, embodying all the beauty of the world.
Despite the stunning appearance, Her expression remained as cold as an iceberg. She performed a one-handed seal; a moon halo appeared behind Her, casting a cool moonlight upon Her divine form.
The Star Flame God, standing on the left, lacked the majestic aura of the Sun Flame and the flawless beauty of the Moon Flame, looking just like an ordinary clay fox.
However, when the cultivators' gazes landed on Her, ripples would rise in everyone's minds and turn into heat that spread throughout their bodies, influencing their minds and affecting their vitality.
Behind Her were shining stars that transformed into starlight that spread out, forming a painting of a sea of stars.
The cultivators were filled with turmoil in their hearts, bowing their heads in reverence. Regardless of their cultivation level or status, at this moment, their expressions were devout to the extreme as they knelt before the three gods.
In fact, even further away, the projections of the three magistrates' tents appeared behind their respective gods. The magistrates also walked out of the tents and bowed to their respective gods!
Xu Qing stood in the air above his residence and looked at everything from afar. Waves also surged in his heart.
At this moment, he witnessed the difference between the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race and the human race.
The Flame Moon Mystic Heaven was a race controlled by the gods. In front of the gods, all living beings were slaves!

After a long time, amidst the silence, the three gods on the Divine Mountain swept their gazes in all directions. They were all staring at Xu Qing.
Sun Flame was indifferent, Moon Flame was complex, and Star Flame smiled.
After that, the sun behind the Sun Flame suddenly shone with resplendent light, burning the sky and spreading golden flames.
It was divine fire.
As it continued to burn, the sky actually began to melt, layer by layer, revealing the void. After corroding countless layers, it formed a black hole.
And the burning continued.
The black hole collapsed in the divine fire. After that, a new black hole was formed. This cycle repeated and became increasingly deep.
During this process, the entire region trembled. One could even faintly hear the mournful roar of the Heavenly Daos. They seemed to want to stop it but they couldn't do anything.
Finally, a golden vortex appeared in the deepest part of the void.
In the vortex, there was a layer of turbid membrane. Through this membrane, one could vaguely see another world inside.
Almost at the instant the golden vortex appeared, Moon Flame lifted Her hand; moonlight transformed into a long river that flowed toward the vortex and fused into the turbidity.
Shortly after, a roar that was different from the Heavenly Daos' echoed from the depths of the vortex, as though the moonlight river was being stopped. However, as Moon Flame scoffed, the aura of Crimson Goddess appeared on Her body…
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Xu Qing's heart trembled. At the next moment, the turbid membrane fused with the power of the Moon Flame became clear and the world inside was revealed.
One could see that it was a white world…
Before everyone could lift their heads and take a closer look, the clay fox smiled. The starlight on Her body rose and transformed into two huge mud hands that reached into the vortex and ruthlessly tore at the transparent membrane!
The loud sound of the world being split apart rang out at this moment. The sound was so loud that it caused the minds of all cultivators to buzz.
The membrane was directly torn apart and the range of the impact was even larger. Looking up from the ground, one could see that this crack extended to half the sky.
It was like a rift in the sky.
The smell of decay, the ancient aura, and the unfamiliar feeling were accompanied by dense anomalous substances and clear roars. They spread out through the crack.
Because the crack was too large, the world inside revealed more clearly.
Xu Qing lifted his head. After he saw it clearly, countless thoughts ran through his mind.
He had made too many connections with the world inside the rift and the aura it emitted also made him feel a sense of familiarity.
Inside the rift was an unfamiliar starry sky. Amidst the stars, there was a huge… spider web!!
This web enveloped this starry sky and countless stars.
As for the thickness of each spider silk, although it wasn't as large as the star, it was still 10% as large.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})This was the Divine Realm opened by the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race!
"The ownerless Divine Realm…"
"It was opened three times previously…"
"Primordial Divine Realm…"
Tian Mozi's words echoed in Xu Qing's mind at this moment. Coupled with the content of the jade slip given by the other party, a conclusive answer soon appeared in Xu Qing's mind!
"This is the core of Jiuli, that spider god's Divine Realm!!"
A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes as he completely understood.
Everything corresponded. Because there was a problem with the spider god and It was suppressed by the three gods, Its Divine Realm naturally became ownerless.
The reason why the three gods had explored it many times was obvious.
While Xu Qing's heart was fluctuating, the voice of the gods in the sky carried an inexplicable dignity as it echoed through the land.
"Children, the hunt begins!"
With these four words, a tremendous force erupted from the cracks in the sky, guided by the three gods, splitting into tens of thousands of strands and heading towards all the cultivators who had passed the second round.
They enveloped all the participants, including Xu Qing. Their bodies rose into the air uncontrollably, moving faster and faster. Finally, they transformed into rainbows and were sucked into the rift.
They entered the void where the Divine Realm was and the unfamiliar starry sky!
Compared to this vast Divine Realm, the figures of tens of thousands of cultivators were insignificant. However, the danger was extremely high.
At this moment, nearly as soon as everyone was sucked into the starry sky, someone's body trembled, emitting a piercing scream. Their body disintegrated directly, flesh and blood scattering in all directions. Each retained consciousness, yet continued to disintegrate until they were completely annihilated in both form and spirit.
What killed them was a black whisker suddenly appearing from the nearby void.
This whisker only swept past, and anyone who came into contact with it would either die or be injured.
Following the whisker, Xu Qing saw a decaying giant fish, thousands of feet in size, materialize from the void.
Covered in whiskers of varying lengths, some drooping and some drifting in all directions, it looked incredibly eerie.
A rotting aura spread out from the giant fish and the terrifying energy caused the hearts of the Flame Moon cultivators who entered to palpitate.
However, their palpitations were quickly suppressed. All the participants in the Grand Hunt were already prepared before they entered this place.
After all, this was the Divine Realm!
Hence, the moment this bizarre entity appeared, everyone reacted fast. They immediately scattered in all directions and sped toward the distant Divine Realm spider web with different methods.
Xu Qing had personally witnessed the scene of a heaven's chosen of a Flame Moon subsidiary race dying after being touched by the whisker. His pupils contracted as he recalled the information about the whiskered fish from the jade slip given to him by Tian Mozi.
"The void spirit of the Divine Realm has the form of a rotting fish. Its whiskers can destroy life and devour all external objects. Moreover, its size is bizarre, appearing differently to different observers!"
"Some might observe it as hundreds of thousands of feet large, while others detect it as ten thousand feet…"
"Moreover, they have an astonishing number and possess undying bodies. Even if destroyed, they will resurrect from the void."
As this information appeared in Xu Qing's mind, he immediately departed that area with extreme speed while being vigilant.
On the way, he saw a few more void spirits, and carefully avoided them one by one.
As he moved forward and the spider web grew larger and larger in his eyes, when he passed by some vast stars in the periphery, Xu Qing could sense from afar that those stars were filled with death.
They were dead stars.
There were no signs of life inside, only endless spiderwebs and ruins.
At the same time, as he got closer, the spider web became incomparably large in his eyes. In the end, it transformed into white paths that pierced through the starry sky.
Compared to the spider silk, Xu Qing was like dust.
On those huge spider silk, Xu Qing also saw many cocoons of various sizes that were enveloped by spiderwebs. There were skeletons that had died for countless years inside.
All of this caused Xu Qing's sense of danger to rise continuously.
Especially after he attempted it himself, he found that those spider webs were filled with terrifying stickiness. When he threw out something to test, as soon as it touched the path formed by the spider silk, it was firmly stuck, and then the webs grew out on their own, enveloping it.
Looking at this scene, Xu Qing understood the origin of those skeletons.
"I can't touch the spiderwebs here!"
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and carefully flew through this strange Divine Realm, gathering all the available information. At the same time, he took out the bottle the captain was in and was about to open it.
However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed. His body suddenly retreated by 100 feet and his soul threads spread out. Millions of threads wrapped around his entire body and formed the fourth god form in the blink of an eye.
His aura spread out, stirring up a storm.
The instant he retreated, a black shadow slammed into the ground where he was previously and whistled past.
The force was so great that the void exploded. After missing, this figure landed on the huge spider silk not far away.
It revealed its appearance.
It was a spider!
Its body was a thousand feet long, its entire body was covered in dark golden spots, and it had the head of an old man.
At that moment, the eyes of the head opened. Its pupils were red as it stared coldly at Xu Qing.
From its mouth, one could observe sharp triangular teeth.
The moment he saw this beast, Xu Qing immediately thought of the spider god in Jiuli's memories.
They… in terms of appearance, other than the difference in their heads, were nearly identical.
However, it was obvious that it didn't have the pressure of the spider god.
While Xu Qing was observing this spider, it was also observing Xu Qing. Gradually, the red light in its eyes intensified and it let out a roar. With a sway, it rushed over again.
