Chapter 1614: Escaping the Fairy Tale

Editor: Atlas Studios

The picturesque second realm seemed to have been divided into two parts at this moment.

The orange part was rapidly spreading, wanting to completely dye the white part.

It was also like a pursuit…

The orange sea churned and roared. The figure of the great demon king within carried monstrous evil as he swept up the orange sea and rapidly spread out, getting closer and closer to the multicolored shadow that was fleeing ahead.

The multicolored shadow was Xu Qing.

Right now, he was using all his strength to escape.

A roar rang out from the orange sea behind him, emitting extreme danger. It was as though if he was a little slower, he would be devoured by the orange sea.

The little person was also fleeing. However, it was clearly calm, and with its speed that remained slightly faster than Xu Qing’s, it spoke loudly.

“Run quickly, the great demon king is here.”

“Hey, demon king, if you have the ability, hurry up and devour my son. I’ll consider you powerful then!”

“Come on, use your strongest ability. Beat my son to death.”

“Son, why are you running so slowly? Let me tell you, if you’re captured, Daddy won’t save you this time.”

The little person’s voice continued to echo, causing Xu Qing to feel vexed. The demon king also roared furiously.

It was being provoked.

In the next instant, the orange sea pursuing Xu Qing surged with greater intensity. Its form shifted dramatically, transforming into a grotesque and ferocious turtle-snake1. It looked hideous, yet radiated a terrifying ferocity as it lunged forward violently.

Xu Qing’s expression changed as he narrowly dodged, barely avoiding being crushed by the massive, charging orange turtle-snake.

The little person whimpered.

“Look, look, I knew it. Demon king, you’re an old turtle1!”

These words completely infuriated the demon king.

In the next moment, the orange turtle-snake transformed once again, this time into an orange toad.

The toad’s body oozed with orange sludge, and thunderous sounds echoed from its mouth. It leaped from time to time and spat out orange mud, not only surpassing the previous turtle-snake form in ugliness but also in ferocity.

Xu Qing, who was fleeing rapidly, already felt an unprecedented pressure. There were even a few times when he almost couldn’t dodge.

However, in the eyes of the little person, his crisis was stimulating.

“Haha, exactly, you old turtle, now you’re an ugly toad, disgusting and hideous! What else can you do besides spitting? If you’re so tough, spit even farther!”

Upon hearing these words, Xu Qing felt a chill down his spine, and in an instant, the orange sea behind him surged once again. The toad disappeared, replaced by… a massive sea cucumber.

It then spewed out a long, orange thread, covering the sky as it enveloped Xu Qing’s position.

The little person was thrilled.

“You headless, faceless thing, this time your form suits you perfectly! All those spikes, but they’re just soft!”

“The worst part is, you’re even peeing now. Son, quick, dodge! This old turtle’s gone mad and is aiming his piss right at us!”

Seeing that they could no longer dodge and was about to be drowned by the orange light, the little person suddenly raised its hand and drew a circle before entering it.

Xu Qing also immediately entered.

When they appeared, they were already in another direction. That little person had its hands on its waist and its large head swayed as it spoke proudly.

“Son, don’t be afraid. This fellow can’t shoot accurately!”

Xu Qing was speechless. At that moment, he could tell that the appearances of the orange sea demon king behind him were either ugly or disgusting. This clearly represented the hatred and resentment the little person had for the Venerable Immortal.

That was why it made a fool of him here.

As for the other party calling him son, Xu Qing couldn’t be bothered. At that moment, he realized that there was something wrong with this little person’s brain.

At the same time, the orange sea roared, surging with waves that reached the sky. This time, there was no more shape-shifting. Instead, the true form of the great demon king stepped out from within the sea, unleashing a storm of blood and carnage that sent shockwaves across the entire world.

It chased after Xu Qing.

The little person screamed.

“He’s angry. He’s angry.”

As soon as it finished speaking, the demon king viciously swung the bucket in his left hand, sending a torrent of orange paint flying across the sky.

It covered all of Xu Qing’s locations, making it impossible for him to dodge. In fact… the little person tried to draw a circle again but failed.

The space itself was affected, unable to be opened like before.

After that, the great demon king, who was filled with monstrous anger, swung the brush in his right hand, aiming directly at Xu Qing in a forceful stroke.

Seeing the danger, the little person’s eyes widened.

“The demon king actually used a big move!”

With that, its body suddenly turned blurry.

Being composed of mere lines, it began to dissolve and scatter, fading away in a manner that Xu Qing could not comprehend.

Xu Qing furrowed his brows, but soon relaxed and raised his head calmly. He gazed at the orange paint falling from the sky and the brush that was sweeping toward him with a howling force.

He didn’t believe that the little person had appeared just to let him be captured halfway through the escape.

This didn’t match the resentment of Aurora Immortal Lord.

“Therefore, there must be a chance of survival.”

Hence, Xu Qing didn’t move at all. At the next instant, his judgment was confirmed.

As the brush and the orange paint fell, a vertical line suddenly appeared in the empty space in front of him. After that, someone cut it open and a head crawled out.

It was the little person who had left.

It looked at Xu Qing and drew.

It actually drew a… sundial in front of Xu Qing!

After that, it gestured an anti-clockwise gnomon needle rotation to Xu Qing. After doing this, its face was filled with anticipation.

This was clearly a test.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. At that moment, the brush and the orange paint were almost upon him. Xu Qing didn’t have time to think further. His Space-Time Ordinance erupted. He raised his right hand and touched the sundial’s needle, abruptly reversing it.

If one didn’t have an Ordinance related to space-time, it was impossible to do this.

Only those who possessed the Space-Time Ordinance, or at the very least, treasures with the Space-Time Ordinance, could fiddle with this sundial.

At the next instant, as Xu Qing moved the gnomon…

Everything was reversed!

The brush and the orange paint suddenly retreated.

Seeing this scene, the little person revealed an excited expression.

“Son, you’re indeed my son!”

Almost at the same time that the little person’s voice rang out, the great demon king’s roar rang out as well.

This roar carried some astonishing power that directly shattered space-time, causing the sundial to shatter into pieces.

The brush and orange paint arrived again.

This time, the little person didn’t leave.

It laughed loudly.

“Haha, son, don’t be afraid.”

As it laughed, it appeared in front of Xu Qing, blocking the space between the demon king and Xu Qing. Its expression changed from excitement to pride.

It had one hand on its waist and a cloak had appeared behind it.

A sword also appeared in its right hand.

This sword was strange. There were many vertical lines in its surroundings, as though they represented the radiance of this sword.

As for the cloak on its body, it fluttered despite there being no wind. Vaguely, there was also an impassioned tune echoing…

Everything was expressing… that this little person represented justice!

“The glory of justice shines on my son!”

The little person spoke loudly and raised its sword of light, slashing at the void.

Using justice to open up this world.

After that, it lifted its chin and threw an item formed by simple lines at Xu Qing.

“Son, if you escape from here, you’ll be free from the demon king’s pursuit. From then on, the world will be your oyster, and you can venture anywhere!”

Xu Qing took the jade slip and headed straight for the rift without any hesitation.

However, the moment he stepped into the rift, the voice of the little person rang out behind him.

“Go!”

“If you insist on leaving, how could I possibly make you stay?”

“Go on, from now on, no one will watch over you. Whether you live or die, it’s your own fate…”

“From now on, you’ll walk your own path… When you fall, no one will be there to pick you up, smile, and pat your head to encourage you.”

“From now on, no one will protect you. You must learn to protect others.”

“From now on, you… have grown up.”

“From now on, you will no longer be fond of fairy tales…”

The little figure, though smiling, spoke with a voice that grew increasingly tearful…

The giant brush and the orange paint stopped descending. The great demon king appeared in the sky, watching it all with a demeanor that was no longer angry but filled with tenderness.

Finally, a soft sigh echoed.

It was unclear whether it was the voice of the great demon king, the little figure, or a combination of both, merging into a single utterance.

“So, what is defiance? My son…”

The voice behind him gradually became blurry and couldn’t be heard clearly.

After entering the spatial rift, Xu Qing felt a difference in his perception.

He had gained height.

And the world in front of him had become the world he was familiar with.

The sky was a spectrum of colors, with spiritual energy rippling all around. In the distance, the sound of celestial music was faint, while nearby, the immortal pavilions glittered with radiant light.

This place… was none other than the Immortal Palace!

Xu Qing’s appearance was no longer the multicolored shadow. He had retrieved his body from time and opened his eyes.

This was the third layer realm.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and recalled his experiences in the first two realms. He had gained many insights, regardless of whether it was the essence of the composition of those two realms or the fairy tale hidden in them.

There was also Grandmaster Bai and the words he heard before he left the second realm.

Xu Qing lowered his head. There was a jade token in his palm.

This jade token was given to him by that little person in the second realm.

Originally, this jade slip was only formed by the simple lines in the second realm. However, at that moment… in Xu Qing’s hand, it gradually gained height and a sense of touch. It gradually transformed into a true jade token!

Xu Qing swept his divine sense across the jade token.

There was nothing inside. This was a blank jade token.

He didn’t know why the other party had given this item to him. His thoughts also returned to the words he had heard before he left the second realm.

“The great demon king represents the Venerable Immortal. The little person represents Aurora. On the surface, it is a rebellion of Aurora, causing the Venerable Immortal to give chase and kill.”

“But why are those last words expressing another meaning…”

“They give me the feeling of father and son.”

Xu Qing fell silent.

“There must be another story between Aurora and the Venerable Immortal. As for this jade slip, it shouldn’t be simple for it to materialize from a low-level world.”

A long time later, Xu Qing took a deep breath and was about to put the jade slip away.

However, at this moment, suddenly… a despicable voice rang out from the jade slip.

“Haha, son, you actually believed it?”
