Chapter 658: The Demon King Breaks the Seal (Please Subscribe)
The giant infant reached out and grabbed the middle-aged emperor. The emperor struggled for a moment but couldn't break free. He sneered, "I am merely a thought and consciousness. What can you do to me?"
Crack.
The infant bit off half his body in one mouthful, then swallowed him down with another bite.
"Not tasty. No human flavor, no ghost flavor either... What's going on?"
The Red Emperor's head grew out from the infant's neck, expanding from small to large. Enraged, the infant raised his fists and rained down a storm of blows, finally forcing him out of his body again.
The Red Emperor climbed to his feet and declared loudly, "I told you, I am a thought and consciousness, not the true Red Emperor. You cannot devour me..."
Smack—
The infant slapped him down, covering him under his palm. The mountains trembled from the impact. The infant lifted his hand, revealing the Red Emperor lying spread-eagled in the massive palm print. In the distance, the Heavenly Lord's avatar wanted to warn him loudly but dared not raise his voice: "Red Emperor, don't struggle, don't talk back. Once he gets bored, he'll stop playing."
The Red Emperor scrambled up, furious. "Do you know who I am? You—"
Smack!
The Red Emperor was flattened again, the palm print even deeper. He struggled out and said, "I—"
Smack! Smack! Smack!
The infant struck him countless times, making the Heavenly Lord's avatar's heart pound with terror. Finally, this adorable, tiger-headed, snow-white baby lost interest in the Red Emperor. The Heavenly Lord's avatar cautiously stepped forward, pulled the Red Emperor out of the ground, and whispered, "In this sealed continent, don't resist him. If you resist, you'll be beaten. I couldn't break the Earth Lord's seal and the Great Brahma Heavenly King Buddha's suppression on my own, but now that you're here, I have some confidence. Don't make a sound, so as not to alert this chaotic demon king. Let's act together."
The Red Emperor said, "I am merely the Red Emperor's thought and consciousness, with little power. I'm afraid I can't break the Earth Lord's and Great Brahma's suppression and seal."
The Heavenly Lord's avatar smiled and said, "If it were only the Earth Lord's seal, it wouldn't be able to trap me. The key is the Great Brahma Heavenly King Buddha. This old Buddha used to be respectful to me, calling me 'Dao Brother,' but now no matter how I call him, he doesn't respond. He's probably sleepwalking again. This great Buddha manifests in dreams and is also a thought and consciousness. If you hold him off, I can break the Earth Lord's seal. I don't need to break it wide open—just a crack, and we can take the opportunity to escape."
The Red Emperor's eyes lit up. He bowed and said, "I rely on you, Dao Brother..."
"Quiet, don't alert the chaotic demon king."
The two looked toward the infant Qin Fengqing. They saw that tiger-headed, snow-white fellow crawling on all fours through the mountains and rivers of the Qin Character Continent, trying to climb out of this Qin Character seal. But no matter where he crawled, the Qin Character mountain range shifted accordingly, preventing him from ever escaping.
"Now!" the Heavenly Lord's avatar shouted.
The Red Emperor immediately soared into the air, charging toward the great Buddha above. His body shook, and he manifested three heads and six arms. The great Buddha above the Qin Character Continent suddenly erupted with Buddha light, and the sound of Buddhist chanting filled the air. Countless Sanskrit characters swirled around the Buddha with a whoosh, then pressed down to suppress him.
"Great Brahma Dao Brother, your realm of neither thought nor non-thought cannot defeat my Three Primordial Immortal Consciousness!"
Both were thoughts and consciousnesses, colliding with each other. The Heavenly Lord's avatar immediately felt the pressure lessen and began to break the Earth Lord's seal. With boundless divine power, he lifted his leg and stomped heavily. The shifting Qin Character Continent suddenly stopped moving. The Heavenly Lord's avatar raised his hand and pushed, and the sky split open into a line, like eyelids parting left and right.
"Red Emperor, no need to fight Great Brahma any longer! Let's take the chance to escape!" the Heavenly Lord's avatar shouted loudly.
The Red Emperor was both shocked and delighted. The two ancient beings soared into the air, turning into streaks of light flying toward the crack. At that moment, the infant trapped among the Qin Character mountains showed a cunning look in his three eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
Just as the Red Emperor and the Heavenly Lord were about to fly out of the seal, two chubby hands suddenly grabbed their streaks of light and yanked them down heavily, slamming them hard into the ground.
The Heavenly Lord and the Red Emperor were thrown into a daze. They hurriedly looked up and cried out in unison, "Oh no!" They saw the giant infant gripping the crack in the sky with both hands, half his body already out of the seal, his two chubby short legs kicking back and forth.
Suddenly, the infant's right foot found the edge of the crack, and he clumsily crawled out.
The seal in the sky slowly healed. The Heavenly Lord and the Red Emperor exchanged a glance and immediately flew up again, trying to escape before the seal closed.
The crack grew smaller and smaller, about to close. Just then, the infant's voice came from beyond the sky: "Catch my little brother!"
A figure fell from the crack, flailing as it tumbled from the sky—vaguely a young boy.
The Heavenly Lord and the Red Emperor ignored him, almost reaching the crack. Suddenly, a golden, enormous willow leaf pressed down from beyond the sky, slapping over the entire sky with a smack.
Buddhist chanting roared, Buddha light blazed, and the Earth Lord's seal merged with the great Buddha's suppression, becoming as solid as iron. The sky could no longer be split open.
The Red Emperor, shocked and furious, immediately charged toward the great Buddha, shouting, "Heavenly Lord Dao Brother, I'll hold off the old Buddha! You break the seal!"
The Heavenly Lord's avatar slumped in defeat, shaking his head. "It's no use. It's no use now. That willow leaf stuck to the third eye has fused the seal and suppression into one. When the leaf was lifted, there was still a chance to break the seal. Now that it's covered, there's no way out."
The Red Emperor slumped in defeat.
The two landed, looked at each other, and sighed deeply.
"Someone seemed to have fallen from beyond the sky just now," the Red Emperor suddenly said.
The Heavenly Lord remembered as well. It seemed the chaotic demon king had said something like "catch my little brother." A bad feeling arose in his heart: "Could that person be..."
Just as he spoke, a tall, sturdy young boy walked over, looking dazed, and asked the two, "Two elders, where is this place?"
The boy had delicate features and was quite handsome, except for a vertical eye on his forehead.
"This is bad!"
Seeing the boy, the Heavenly Lord's avatar sighed, "The real owner has been thrown in here to be sealed, while that chaotic demon king Qin Fengqing has escaped! This is bad, this is bad..."
Qin Mu, refined and polite, bowed and asked, "May I ask how to address you two elders? Could you tell me where this place is?"
"This is the place that seals your brother. It's a jade pendant made from a fragment of the Earth Lord's horn, hidden in your third eye. Look, that great Buddha in the sky is the confused and dazed Great Brahma. The middle-aged emperor in front of you is the first Heavenly Emperor of the Red Ming Era, the Red Emperor. And me..."
The Heavenly Lord's avatar sighed, "I was just curious about what the Underworld God's Son was, and I accidentally ended up here, getting sealed and suppressed. You've seen me before. You once stared into my eyes for two days and two nights..."
"You are the Heavenly Lord!" Qin Mu exclaimed in shock.
The Heavenly Lord's avatar nodded helplessly. "You know now, but don't tell anyone. It's very undignified. However, you won't have a chance to tell anyone anyway, since you're also sealed here."
Qin Mu stood dumbfounded, staring blankly around him. The Heavenly Lord, the Red Emperor, the Great Brahma Heavenly King Buddha, and the Earth Lord's horn—when had so many terrifying beings appeared in his third eye?
"Brother? I have a brother?"
He suddenly came to his senses and quickly said, "When the Red Ming God's Son was about to kill me, my brother threw me in here? How come I didn't know I had a brother? Isn't there another me hidden inside my body?"
The Red Emperor knew nothing about this and naturally couldn't answer. But the Heavenly Lord seemed to know a lot and said, "That brother of yours is also Qin Fengqing, and you are also Qin Fengqing. I can't explain it clearly either. He was born a divine being, a demon king, knowing only slaughter. You were born later, developing your own consciousness only after the Earth Lord sealed him. He represents evil..."
Qin Mu said excitedly, "Then I represent good, right?"
The Heavenly Lord's avatar hesitated, not having the heart to tell the truth seeing his excited expression. He said vaguely, "Infants have no concept of good or evil. It depends on nurture and teaching. Born into a good family, good outweighs evil; born in a place full of bad people, evil outweighs good..."
Qin Mu relaxed, sighed in relief, and laughed. "I knew I represented justice and goodness. I have a very good upbringing. The elders in our village are all famous great good people!"
The Heavenly Lord's avatar's eyes shot white light three zhang into the air, and it took a moment for him to recover. He said, "This isn't your fault. That Qin Fengqing is too cunning. He deliberately let us break the seal so he could take the chance to escape, then threw you in here to be suppressed. This way, you'll never be able to reclaim your body and will be trapped here with us. Now, that fellow is probably already causing havoc outside. Red Emperor, does your Suspended Realm have any means of self-defense?"
The Red Emperor hesitated, then shook his head. "My physical body has completely turned into the Suspended Realm, and my primordial spirit has self-destructed. When I entered this small universe, I was severely injured..."
Qin Mu suddenly realized something and asked puzzledly, "You are the Red Emperor's thought? How did you get in? Weren't you in the Red Emperor's brain? How did you end up sealed here too? If you hadn't suddenly disappeared, the Red Ming God's Son wouldn't have tried to kill us!"
The Red Emperor's three faces suddenly flushed red. He said sheepishly, "This... it's a long story."
Qin Mu's eyes flickered. "We're all sealed and suppressed here. We have plenty of time. Your Majesty the Red Emperor, feel free to speak slowly."
The Red Emperor hesitated, unwilling to say.
The Heavenly Lord's avatar laughed. "Let me speak for him. When he entered this small universe, his soul scattered. But unwilling to die like that, he turned his physical body into the Suspended Realm and preserved his thought and consciousness as an indestructible consciousness. If someone could bear his thought and consciousness, he could come back to life. Not truly alive, but another him alive."
Qin Mu suddenly understood and sneered, "In other words, the Red Emperor's thought would completely erase the thought of the person he possessed. This person wouldn't have his soul, but would have his thought and consciousness, thinking and acting exactly like him. Not him, yet him! This is a kind of alternative possession! The Red Emperor actually had his eye on me, thinking I could inherit his thought and consciousness, erasing mine. But..."
The Red Emperor sighed. "But I encountered a three-eyed strange infant. I originally planned to possess him, but I found that this three-eyed infant's thought and consciousness were absurdly strong, filthy, and filled with vicious thoughts. I couldn't erase his thoughts at all. Instead, he beat me out. After being thrown out, I suffered great humiliation and was trapped here."
"Serves you right!" Qin Mu sneered.
The Red Emperor was furious. The Heavenly Lord's avatar said, "Stop bickering. The biggest problem now is how long until the Suspended Realm is wiped out."
The Red Emperor was silent for a moment, then asked, "How strong is this Qin Fengqing?"
On the Sacred Mountain of the Suspended Realm, a deafening crash suddenly rang out as the sky and earth split. The Red Ming God's Son was slammed into the ground by a giant fist. The sacred mountain trembled violently and kept sinking.
"Mu'er is so strong..." The First Ancestor Human Sovereign, lying on the ground, showed a look of surprise and relief as he watched this massive infant with a towering physique. Then he was sent flying by a giant slap.
The First Ancestor Human Sovereign tumbled through the air like a spinning top, flying far away, still wondering in his heart, "Why did Mu'er hit me? Is he still angry that I smashed the Second Ancestor's remains?"
"Turn this place into a little Underworld!"
The infant excitedly smashed down toward the sacred hall. The hall shattered into pieces, and the mountain peak collapsed by nearly half. "Bring Mother over to live here too! But Mother won't let me eat people—that's a problem..."
The Red Ming God's Son roared, shot up from underground, and charged at the infant.
Thud.
A fist met him, and the Red Ming God's Son was almost flattened against it, flying backward.
The infant's eyes suddenly lit up. He clapped his hands and laughed. "Right! First, eat all the people here, and that solves the problem!"
