On this enormous heart, there was a red palace constructed, with an ancient design. Along with the strong scent of blood, there was also a thick presence of the Crimson Goddess', rising within.
The most eye-catching thing was the statue erected in front of the palace.
It was kneeling there with its hands covering its eyes and bleeding from its seven orifices.
As for the surroundings of the heart, dozens of meteorites of different sizes floated there. They were originally black but because of the blood, they turned purple-red.
On each meteorite, there sat a cultivator from various races. They sat motionless, hands covering their eyes, blood streaming from their bodies and spreading across the meteorites.
No one spoke. Only the sound of the heart spread out with the blood light, replacing all language.
Red Moon Shrine.
When Xu Qing saw it from afar, he immediately dived into the magma and watched silently.
The huge heart gradually moved in the sky, bringing the surrounding meteors with it. It ignored everything and moved past the Heavenly Fire Sea, its destination unknown.
In the Moon Worship Region, they were gods.
Any race who saw this scene would either worship or avoid them. No one dared to stop them.
A long time later, Xu Qing stuck his head out of the magma and looked into the distance.
After another long while, he continued to move forward.
Another three days passed. Xu Qing finally chose an area. After deciding to refine the life lanterns here, he took out the eyeball that Duanmu Zang had lent him and looked over.
That eye also glared at him, not giving in at all.
Xu Qing didn't say anything. He recalled that Duanmu Zang had once said that he needed to subdue it. Hence, just in case, he called out to the shadow.
Immediately, the shadow transformed around Xu Qing, forming a black curtain which then floated in the air. The blinking stars inside widened in unison and transformed into countless eyes that stared fixedly at the eyeball in Xu Qing's hand.
That eyeball shivered visibly as it saw the gazes of so many eyes.
Xu Qing coldly threw it toward the black curtain.
"Communicate with it."
All the eyes in the black curtain instantly blinked. After sending out an evil divine sense fluctuation, it enveloped the eyeball.
After a long time, when the curtain spat the eyeball out, his eyeball was clearly dispirited and trembling, emitting fear.
Xu Qing took a look and called out to the Diamond Sect's ancestor, wiping the eyeball with the fish bone.
With every wipe, the Diamond Sect's ancestor would laugh sinisterly while the eyeball kept trembling.
Finally, when Xu Qing picked it up and entered the magma, the brown blood vessels on the eyeball immediately spread out and rapidly enveloped the surroundings, isolating Xu Qing from the heat in the surroundings.
Although it revealed fear and looked very weak in front of the shadow and the Diamond Sect's ancestor, it could neutralize the heat that even Xu Qing couldn't withstand.
The principles of mutual reinforcement and mutual restraint were vividly displayed in this eyeball.
Xu Qing fell into deep thought. With the help of the eyeball, he continued to sink.
In order to prevent this eyeball from suddenly having any ill intentions, Xu Qing didn't retract the shadow.
Just like that, Xu Qing sank to about a thousand feet deep before stopping. He then sat cross-legged and slightly inhaled a trace of flames that weren't isolated.
Just a trace of it made Xu Qing feel a sense of danger that his life was about to be burned. Fortunately, it was a very small amount and the purple crystal rapidly devoured it.
A light that was much stronger than before was reflected in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness, instantly illuminating the Broken Immortal God Devourer.
The lantern began to melt.
The melting speed was much faster than before. When Xu Qing saw this, he was tempted and excited. While he was fully focused, the shadow also worked extremely hard. It stared fixedly at the eyeball and continued to emit the thought of hunger.
The eyeball was terrified and tried its best to neutralize the heat under the magma.
Time slowly passed. Seven days later, Xu Qing's Broken Immortal God Devourer Lantern completely melted. As his sea of consciousness churned and the ten-thousand-foot-long vortex spread under the magma, the fourth Sundial life lantern appeared!
The Sundial's needle moved, indicating different times from other Sundials, affecting the outside world.
However, although the fluctuations here weren't small, they only caused waves on the surface of the magma. In addition, the location was remote and the sky was now empty, so it didn't attract any attention.
Another seven days later, Xu Qing opened his eyes. The ten-thousand-foot-long vortex formed again in his surroundings. In his sea of consciousness, the five Sundials were completely formed.
A terrifying fluctuation rose from Xu Qing's body as the fifth Sundial appeared.
The needle shadows on the five Sundials were rotating, with a difference of 14 hours each, all showing different times!
Xu Qing fell into deep thought as he stared at them. Several hours later, when the needle shadow of the first Sundial life lantern landed at noon, its light no longer spun and the gnomon no longer moved.
A feeling of comprehension surfaced in Xu Qing's mind.
"The other four also should stop at noon one after another. When their timing is the same, they should be able to display a special ability…"
Xu Qing wasn't sure what this ability was but with his intuition, he knew that this would be a huge eruption of the Sundial's power.
