Chapter 1333: Immortal of Thick Earth

Chapter 1333 Thick Earth Immortal

Upon the divine emperor’s corpse, chewing sounds intensified—a frenzy of worms devouring with savage hunger, as if to swallow it whole.

Their bodies emitted a pervasive blue glow, enveloping the remains in a deep azure radiance.

Watching this, Xu Qing felt a quiet admiration.

His senior brother had always been extraordinary.

And Erniu’s proud voice now echoed across the expanse.

“Well! What do you think! Just what did I say!”

Seven Master’s expression turned peculiar. He glanced at the corpse below, then at Erniu, slowly furrowing his brow as he spoke.

“To prevent this Huangtian Divine Emperor’s return, we dismembered him long ago—his head placed in Xia Immortal Palace, his body divided into dozens of parts, sealed across Huangtian’s lands…”

“You… reassembled those severed fragments?”

Erniu’s spirit soared; this was the moment he’d awaited all along.

“Precisely!”

“Old man, many of your ancient seals had weakened. Had I not intervened in time, this divine emperor might have already awakened.”

“It was fate’s design that I discovered it. Thus, a grand plan arose within me!”

“I gnawed breaches through your seals, retrieved the flesh, and gathered it here upon this sea formed from divine blood.”

“Using the divine blood to nourish it, restoring the flesh’s vitality, I dissolved my own body into countless worms—devouring day and night!”

“Well, Young Aqing? How do you judge your senior brother’s great deed!”

Erniu laughed heartily, brimming with pride.

Seven Master pondered, then turned to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing smiled faintly and nodded.

“My senior brother always acts with meticulous care. This time proves no different—I never imagined it would unfold thus.”

“Indeed, unifying Huangtian now lies but a step away.”

As he spoke, Xu Qing’s expression held just the right measure of reverence.

These words, this look, sent Erniu’s satisfaction soaring to dizzying heights, melting through his very being until he felt weightless.

“Who else but your senior brother!”

Erniu’s laughter boomed louder still.

Xu Qing nodded with a smile, then turned to Seven Master.

“Master, shall we assist Senior Brother? Accelerate his consumption?”

At Seven Master’s gesture, his right hand lifted toward the earth, a sacred resonance emanating from his lips.

“Indulge him if you must. Very well—you’ve yet to witness my path of immortality. Let this moment illuminate the truth of what I know as Immortality!”

“Immortal seats are eternal, yet never absolute!”

Each word transformed into thunderous resonance, reverberating through Huangtian as the earth answered.

The sound began muffled, then swelled steadily, until the ground trembled violently, the roar growing deafening.

As though… the earth itself collapsed invisibly, some presence beneath Huangtian straining to breach its confines!

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed with wonder. He sensed his master’s rising stature, his power escalating—yet no trace of constitutional law accompanied it.

As if Seven Master, though an immortal, possessed no constitution.

Noting Xu Qing’s thoughts, Seven Master’s voice rang out amid his surging aura.

“Fourth disciple, I know you’ve traveled the outer star-rings, witnessed countless cultivators. The immortals you’ve seen follow their own Dao—what outsiders call Constitution.

Constitution, akin to divine authority, requires an upward source—a quasi-divine tool for ascension!”

“Yet the immortals of Wanggu, be it Xuan You Ancient Emperor or Gu Ling Emperor, walked a different path—fusing Wanggu’s rules with their will!”

“These two paths, in truth, share one root…”

“Both born from perceiving the upper star-ring’s laws.”

As he spoke, Seven Master’s finger, still pointed at the earth, lifted slightly. With its rise, the earth’s roar intensified exponentially—

A sudden, earth-shattering crescendo!

Simultaneously, an essence alien to the upper star-rings surged from Huangtian’s trembling soil.

It carried the scent of primeval antiquity, raw complexity, and primordial wildness.

The moment it appeared, Xu Qing sensed it, tasted its nature—and his heart stirred.

“This is…”

Seven Master’s voice revealed the truth.

“But I… and the predecessors who ascended here from Thick Earth long ago—walked another road!”

“We possess no Constitution, for our dream was never to adapt to Huangtian, but to raise Thick Earth itself!

We fused not with Wanggu, for in our design, Wanggu was merely our first stop.

Thus we hold no fixed laws—we perceive Thick Earth’s source, the outward anchors of Thick Earth’s rules. We walk for Thick Earth, using its traction as our foundation, transforming it into annihilating force!”

“Therefore, we became Thick Earth Immortals!”

As Seven Master finished, his finger became a palm, slamming downward upon the earth.

The impact shook mountains and split the sky.

Huangtian’s ground seemed to collapse utterly beneath that blow—yet did not truly break. Instead, as it quaked, more alien essence surged forth.

Tendrils thickened into visible mist, rising from the trembling soil in every direction.

Before Xu Qing’s gaze, the mist coalesced into a mirage-like spectacle across the heavens.

A sight he’d once seen within Xia Immortal Palace.

It was… Thick Earth’s star-ring!

The entire realm, the cosmos, the domain!

As it manifested, it streamed toward Seven Master, merging into his form—his aura climbing ever higher!

Auspicious radiance shimmered around his body.

Yet Xu Qing saw clearly: this power was borrowed, ephemeral as a castle in the air.

Unless… that mirage became reality, it would remain fleeting.

“This… is the Thick Earth Immortal!”

Seventh Master gazed upon Xu Qing, a soft sigh escaping his lips.

"Yet alas, as our understanding deepened, we uncovered the true horror of the Ascension—Brilliant Heaven was but a fragment of it."

"This realm belongs to the gods; Thick Earth can never rise here, and our path ends."

"Thus, my master and his fellow cultivators chose to depart."

"They sought to explore the Ascension, to find the way forward, while I remained in Wanggu."

Seventh Master murmured wistfully.

"Becoming, perhaps, the last sovereign of Thick Earth."

"Since Brilliant Heaven lies closer to Thick Earth, my power here swells to its zenith!"

"This land was always my chosen ground for a battle to the death with that one."

"Now, employing it against the Divine Emperor of Brilliant Heaven is no waste!"

As Seventh Master spoke, his eyes blazed with a galaxy of stars, the entire realm of Thick Earth shimmering within them. Then, raising his right hand, he brought it down in a sudden, decisive motion upon the corpse of the Divine Emperor, buried beneath the worm-form of Erniu.
