While the middle-aged emperor was figuring out his situation, the big-sized baby suddenly grabbed him. He struggled for a moment, but he couldnât break free. He sneered and said, âIâm just a consciousness, what can you do to me?â
Kacha.
The baby bit off half of his body, and he took another bite to consume him completely.
âSo bland. Thereâs no human taste or ghostly tasteâ Whatâs going on?â
Crimson Emperorâs head slowly grew out from the babyâs neck again. The baby was furious and started to throw punches again, finally smacking him out from his body.
Crimson Emperor crawled up, and he thundered, âI told you, Iâm a consciousness. Iâm not the true Crimson Emperor. You canât eat meââ
Pakâ
The baby smacked him down as though he was a fly, shaking the mountains in that land. When the baby raised his hand, Crimson Emperor was sprawled out in the middle of the huge handprint. From a distance, Heaven Dukeâs clone wanted to warn him, but he didnât dare to be too loud and attract the babyâs attention. âCrimson Emperor, stop struggling and squabbling with him. Once heâs tired of playing with you, he will stop.â
His warning fell on deaf ears as Crimson Emperor crawled up again and furiously said, âDo you know who I am? Youââ
Piak!
Crimson Emperor was smacked down again, and the handprint this time was even deeper. He struggled to get up and said, âIââ
Piak! Piak! Piak!
The baby smacked over and over again. Even Heaven Dukeâs heart was jumping in fear. After some time, this adorable baby that looked dignified and strong finally lost interest in Crimson Emperor.
Heaven Duke inched forward, taking care not alert the huge baby, and pulled Crimson Emperor out. He whispered, âDonât bother to fight against him on this sealed land. You will only be beaten up. I canât break Earth Countâs seal and Brahma Buddhaâs suppression by myself, but with you here, Iâm now more confident. Letâs work together. Donât make a sound and alert this devil incarnate. â
Crimson Emperor said, âIâm only the consciousness of Crimson Emperor. I donât have many abilities, and Iâm afraid I canât break through Earth Countâs seal and Brahma Buddhaâs suppression.â
Heaven Dukeâs clone smiled. âIf it was only Earth Countâs seal, itâs not enough to trap me. The crux lies in Brahma Buddha. This old buddha always treats me with respect and calls me Dao brother, but no matter how I call him now, he just ignores me. He has most likely gone to roam in his dreams. This buddha has materialized from a dream, and itâs also a consciousness. If you fight against him, I will be able to solve Earth Countâs seal. We donât need to make a huge hole. A tear is enough for us to escape.â
Crimson Emperorâs eyes lighted up, and he bowed. âIâll depend on Dao brotherââ
âShush. Donât alert that devil incarnate.â
Both of them looked at Baby Qin Fengqing. That dignified and strong baby was crawling around the Qin word land, trying to escape from this seal. However, no matter where he crawled, the mountains would transform and prevent his escape.
âNow!â Heaven Dukeâs clone shouted.
Crimson Emperor immediately soared and rushed at the buddha in the sky. His body trembled as he revealed his three heads and six arms. The buddha above the Qin word seal suddenly shone brightly, and its buddha voice rang out loudly. After a moment, countless sanskrits surrounded the huge buddha, and they suppressed Crimson Emperor.
âDao Brother Brahma, your Neither Thought nor No Thought canât defeat my Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness!â
Both of them were consciousness that collided with each other. Heaven Duke felt his pressure decreasing drastically and immediately started to break Earth Countâs seal. Heaven Duke had boundless power, and he raised his leg to give a heavy stomp. The Qin word land suddenly stopped functioning, and the clone of Heaven Duke took this chance to raise his hand and push aside the sky. A vertical tear opened up in the sky as though eyelids were being opened up.
âCrimson Emperor, stop fighting with Brahma. Letâs take this chance to run!â Heaven Dukeâs clone shouted.
Crimson Emperor was surprised and delighted. In an instant, the two ancient existences soared into the sky. They transformed into two flowing lights and flew towards that crack. At that moment, the three eyes of Baby Qin Fengqing revealed a crafty glint and a smile appeared on his face.
Crimson Emperor and Heaven Duke were about to fly out of the seal when two chubby palms grabbed the lights and pulled them down, smashing both of them on the ground.
Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor got confused from the fall, and they hurriedly raised their head to look up while cursing. The big baby had already reached the tear in the sky with the upper half of his body already out of the seal. His chubby and short legs were still squirming as he tried to escape.
Suddenly, the babyâs right leg kicked until the tear widened further. He then crawled out sloppily.
The seal in the sky gradually healed. Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor looked at each other in the eye, and they flew up once again, trying to rush out before the seal closes.
The tear became smaller and smaller, and just as it was about to merge back, they heard the voice of a baby coming from outer space. âCatch my younger brother!â
Suddenly, a youth came falling from the tear, and his arms were flailing as he fell down.
Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor paid no attention to him. When they were finally about to rush out of the tear, a giant golden willow leaf came down from outer space, covering the whole sky.
The buddha voice rang out loudly while the buddha rays shone brightly. Earth Countâs seal and the great buddhaâs suppression were instantly merged into one, turning it incomparably solid. The sky could no longer be torn open again.
Crimson Emperor was livid. He immediately rushed towards the great buddha while shouting, âDao Brother Heaven Duke, I shall deal with old buddha. Break the seal!â
Heaven Duke shook his head. He seemed to be broken down. âWe canât. Itâs no longer possible. Once this willow leaf has covered the third eye, it would merge the seal and the suppression into one. When the willow leaf is taken off, thereâs still a chance, but when itâs covered, you canât escape even if you want to.â
Crimson Emperor was disappointed. Both of them landed on the ground and looked at each other in dismay. They let out a heavy sigh.
âThereâs a person who had fallen in from the sky just now,â Crimson Emperor suddenly said.
Heaven Duke recalled that the devil incarnate had said something along the lines of âcatch my younger brother.â He immediately had a bad feeling. âCould that person beââ
âElder, may I know where is this place?â A tall and sturdy youth suddenly approached them with a confused look.
The youth had delicate facial features, and he looked very handsome. It was just that he had a vertical eye on his forehead.
âThis is bad!â
Heaven Dukeâs clone couldnât help sighing as looked at this youth. âThe original host is thrown into the seal and Qin Fengqing, that devil incarnate, has escaped! This is bad, this is badâ¦â
Qin Mu was cultured and refined. He was very polite as he greeted, âMay I know how to address elders? Can you please tell me what is this place?â
âThis is the place where your older brother is sealed. Itâs the jade pendant that Earth Count had made using a fragment of his horns. Itâs hidden in your third eye. Look over there, that buddha in the sky is the silly Brahma who is in a daze. This middle-aged emperor in front of you is the first celestial emperor of Crimson Light Era, Crimson Emperor. As for meâ¦â
The clone of Heaven Duke sighed and said, âIâm only curious of the Son of Youdu and came here by accident. In my confusion, I got sealed and suppressed here. You have met me before. You have once stared at my eyes for two days and two nightsââ
âYou are Heaven Duke!â Qin Mu cried out in shock.
The clone of Heaven Duke nodded his head helplessly. âItâs fine as long as you know. Donât spread the word or Iâll lose my reputation. However, you wonât have the chance to say it since youâre also sealed here.â
Qin Mu looked around in a daze. Heaven Duke, Crimson Emperor, Brahma Buddha, and also the horn of Earth Count. When did these terrifying existences appear in his third eye?
âOlder brother? I still have an older brother?â
He suddenly came to realization and said in a hurry, âCrimson Light Son of God is about to kill me. Itâs my older brother who had thrown me in? Why didnât I know I have an older brother? Isnât there another me thatâs hidden in my body?â
Crimson Emperor was utterly clueless about this, so he didnât know how to reply. Heaven Duke seemed to understand and said, âThat brother of yours is Qin Fengqing. You are also Qin Fengqing. I can explain this clearly. He is hallowed, a devil king right when he was born, and he only knows slaughter. On the other hand, you are born late, and your consciousness was only born after Earth Count sealed him. He represents evilââ
âIn that case, I represent good, am I right?â Qin Mu asked eagerly.
The clone of Heaven Duke hesitated. He couldnât bear to tell the truth when he saw his excited face. He just vaguely said, âThere is no good and evil for a baby. One will still have to see the acquired grooming and teachings. If one lives in a good family, the good will be bigger than the bad. If one lives in a place thatâs filled with evil people, the bad will be bigger than the goodâ¦â
Qin Mu calmed his heart, and he let out a sigh of relief. He said with a smile, âI knew I represent righteousness and kindness since my upbringing is very good. The elders in our village are all good people with famous reputations!â
The two eyes of Heaven Dukeâs clone spewed out two beams of white light that traveled ten yards. He only recovered after a while, and he said, âYou canât be blamed for this matter as well. That Qin Fengqing is too crafty. He deliberately let us break the seal so he can escape, then he threw you in here to suppress you. In that way, you can never seize your body back because youâre trapped here with us. This fellow is probably wreaking havoc outside now. Crimson Emperor, does this floating world of yours have the power to protect itself?â
Crimson Emperor hesitated, and he shook his head. âMy corporeal body has already turned into the floating world, and even my primordial spirit had broken down by itself. When I entered this small universe, I was severely injuredâ¦â
Qin Mu suddenly came to a realization, and he said curiously, âYou are the consciousness of Crimson Emperor? How did you come in? Arenât you in the head of Crimson Emperor? How did you get sealed here? If you didnât suddenly vanish, Crimson Light Son of God wouldnât have wanted to kill us!â
Crimson Emperorâs three faces turned red. âThis is⦠hard to explain with a few words.â
Qin Muâs gaze flickered, and he said, âWe are all sealed here, so we have plenty of time. Why donât Your Majesty Crimson Emperor tell me about it slowly?â
Crimson Emperor hesitated. He didnât want to speak.
Heaven Dukeâs clone said with a smile, âLet me say it for him. When he entered this small universe, his soul had already dispersed, but he wasnât willing to accept his death like this, so his corporeal body had become the floating world, turning his consciousness into undying consciousness to be preserved. As long as someone can withstand his consciousness, he will be able to come back to life. However, he doesnât truly revive, and itâs another him that would come back to life.â
Qin Mu understood everything now. He sneered as he said, âWhich also means that Crimson Emperorâs consciousness will completely erase the consciousness of that person he possesses. Even though that person wonât have his soul, he will have his consciousness and whatever the person thinks and does will be exactly the same as him. It would be him and not him! Even though heâs dead, his consciousness will still live on. This is another kind of possession! Crimson Emperor had actually taken a liking to me and felt that I can inherit his consciousness. He could have just erased my consciousness, but he didnât expectââ
Crimson Emperor sighed. âI didnât expect a three-eyed weird baby. I planned to take over him, but I discovered that this weird babyâs consciousness is ridiculously strong and tainted beyond measure. Itâs filled with incomparably evil thoughts, and I couldnât erase his consciousness at all. Instead, I got smacked out by him, and after being smacked out, I even suffered ridicule and got trapped here.â
âYou deserve it!â Qin Mu sneered.
Crimson Emperor was furious, and the clone of Heaven Duke said, âStop squabbling. The biggest problem now is how long will it take before the floating world will be wiped out?â
Crimson Emperor was silent for a moment. He asked, âHow strong is this Qin Fengqing exactly?â
â¦
On the sacred mountain of the floating world, heaven and earth suddenly split apart as Crimson Light Son of God got smashed down ruthlessly by a huge fist. The sacred mountain shook violently and sank down continuously.
âMuâer is so strongâ¦â First Ancestor, who was lying on the ground, revealed a look of amazement and gratification. He was watching this huge baby with an imposing physique when suddenly, he got smacked away by a huge palm.
First Ancestor Human Emperorâs body spun like a top in midair, and he flew into the distance. He was bewildered as he thought to himself. âWhy did Muâer attack me? Does he still bear a grudge on me for destroying Second Ancestorâs corpse?â
âTurn this place into Little Youdu!â
That baby smashed at the sacred hall in excitement and split it into pieces. The mountain peak was also half-crumbled. âI shall fetch mother over to stay with me! But itâs such a pain that mother doesnât let me eat humansâ¦â
Crimson Light Son of God gave a fierce roar as he rushed into the sky to kill the baby.
Bang.
A fist welcomed him. Crimson Light Son of Godâs body completely hugged the fist, and he quickly flew backward.
The eyes of that baby suddenly lighted up. He clapped his hands while saying with a smile, âOh, I know! I can just eat everyone here first, wonât that solve the problem?â
