Vaguely, they could see ancient marks from some broken walls that were exposed outside the flesh and blood.
"Junior Brother, let's choose this place."
The captain looked around and spoke in a low voice.
Xu Qing also observed his surroundings. After nodding, the two of them walked into this area of flesh and blood.
On the way, when he saw the word 'East' on the mostly decayed plaque, Xu Qing had a guess about this place.
"East Palace? Usually, the place where the crown prince lives is called the East Palace." The captain glanced at it with regret in his eyes.
"It's a pity that this place has already collapsed and is heavily corroded. Otherwise, there would definitely be treasures."
Xu Qing also felt some pity. On their way here, they saw many palaces. He had a deep understanding of the wealth during the era of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether.
This was only the eastern region of the Immortal Forbidden, and the area they explored was far from covering all of the eastern region.
The Immortal Forbidden was too large. If they wanted to completely explore this place, they would need a large amount of manpower and it would probably take more than a few months.
"I wonder if we'll have a chance to enter again in the future." As the captain sighed with emotion, the two of them searched around and finally chose a collapsed side hall. After cleaning it up, they dug a hole in the flesh.
The flesh and blood in the Immortal Forbidden were squirming at all times. As soon as the hole was dug out, the edges began to close, wanting to close again. Hence, Xu Qing and the captain didn't hesitate and immediately crawled in.
Very soon, their figures entered the flesh hole. When the external parts gradually closed, the two of them were still digging deeper into the flesh.
When they reached a certain depth and were enveloped by flesh and blood and dense anomalous substances, they sat down cross-legged.
"I wonder how Master plans to benefit here." Xu Qing looked at the pitch-black surroundings. When he spoke softly, the sigh that echoed in his mind after fusing with the Bottle of Time appeared.
That sigh echoed in his mind, as though stirring up some memories.
"Little Qing, do you want to see the battle between gods?" The captain chuckled. With a wave of his hand, an eye appeared in his palm. This eye blinked a few times and instantly reflected the blood-colored sky.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
"I placed a few eyes outside just to see this battle between gods with my own eyes. However, there's also a risk of being exposed. Hence, we'll wait for Red Moon to wake up and be busy devouring the god here before we watch. It'll be much safer then."
The captain spoke proudly. He covered the eye on his palm.
"Let's wait. I reckon the Red Moon won't be far from awakening."
Xu Qing nodded and put on the human skin mask that contained the power of concealment. The power of the Poison Restriction in his body spread to his sea of consciousness and enveloped the Purple Moon Heavenly Palace. There was also the power of the Heavenly Dao, Ghost Emperor Mountain, and morning glow, further concealing his Purple Moon.
After doing this, he closed his eyes in the darkness and didn't move at all.
His mind recalled the scenes in the phoenix palace and the waves caused by the sigh.
Time slowly passed.
Six hours later, the sky outside suddenly resounded with a deafening roar, a sound so immense that it spread in all directions and reached the interior of the flesh where Xu Qing and the captain were located.
The two of them were shaken to the core, and a sense of palpitation surged within them like never before.
There was no need to observe. A clear realization dawned upon Xu Qing.
He understood that the Red Moon was about to awaken.
The sky above was now saturated with intense crimson, casting a red glow upon the land, enveloping all the structures and flesh in a crimson hue.
The purple color within was swiftly being overwhelmed and overshadowed by the blood-like hue, as the essence of blood gradually became the sole dominant presence in this place.
Even the twenty-seven spikes trembled slightly, and the beating heart showed signs of disruption. A sense of awakening emanated from the earth, as if something was stirring within.
At the same time, within the octagonal formation in the sky, all the black-robed figures, after sacrificing their internal organs and left eye, simultaneously raised their hands and gouged out their right eyes.
The instant they were offered, Zhang Siyun's right eye withered, turning into a hole and a large amount of blood flowed out of it.
Even more cracks appeared in the sky.
Zhang Siyun's two hands covered his eyes, and there was no longer any pain on his face. Instead, a smile slowly formed at the corners of his mouth.
A vast and astonishing supreme will that was extremely terrifying suddenly erupted from Zhang Siyun's body.
The sky, the ground, everything turned red under this will.
A red moon rose in the sky of the Immortal Forbidden!
The ground quaked and a horrified roar rang out from the depths of the ground.
"Crimson Goddess!"
The ground churned and countless palaces collapsed. The flesh and blood that filled the entire Immortal Forbidden trembled and the 27 sharp spikes emitted an intense light.
As for the location of the heart, as it squirmed, the flesh and blood spread outwards, and a 100,000-foot-long golden eye formed and opened.
The surroundings distorted and the anomalous substances erupted with full strength at this moment.
The entire world turned blurry. The figures worshiping in the surroundings screamed one after another and dissipated in unison. At the same time, the octagonal array formation in the sky that was seen by this huge eye instantly disintegrated into ashes.
The bodies of the 360 black-robed men mutated and exploded, turning into a rain of blood.
