The Sacred Ruins



1618 Chapter 1617 how mysterious the heavenly emperor’s hometown was

The faint murmurs were like the murmurs of a demon in a dream or the murmurs of a true spirit of primal chaos. They drifted out from the river of time and echoed in an unknown place.

Unfortunately, neither the new emperor Gu Qing nor the powerful nine daos one had heard it.

Let alone the other immortal kings, they were even more insensible.

Only Chu Feng was exceptionally nervous since he had entered the Netherworld and was about to return to his homeland. There was always a sense of suffocation in his heart as if it was the end of the world.

“Senior…”Chu Feng grabbed a person’s arm and persuaded many people along the way.

However, the effect was still not good. Even the dog emperor, an old monster who had lived for countless years and whose eyelashes were empty, shook his head, he said, “Brat, don’t say anymore. I feel as if your mouth has been opened before. Something has happened as soon as you speak. You’re a bit like an old friend!”

Chu Feng was speechless. Even this old dog who had once followed the true supreme heavenly emperor had such an attitude. What else could he say.

“Who do I look like?”He couldn’t help but ask.

“Great Sage Hun Tuo. This person is the most unlucky. His mouth is comparable to the most ominous. I think you look a bit like him. You’d better shut up!”The dog emperor glanced at him and said.

Following which, he said in a carefree manner, “Actually, we can also think of the worst case scenario. If there is an unrivalled life form lurking around, then we can only say that our luck isn’t on our side and that all of us will be exterminated.”

What kind of words was this? Chu Feng was dazed and didn’t know how to refute.

“Forget it, this emperor will answer your questions. That place is Heavenly Emperor Ye’s homeland and also carries the thoughts of the ‘that person’mentioned by the old man. The small Netherworld and earth might be the coordinates to guide them back and illuminate the long river of time like a lighthouse. If there really is something lurking there, if it goes out of line this time and annihilates all of us, cutting off the heavens’last hope, it might alarm that person and Heavenly Emperor Ye and cause them to return!”

The Dog Emperor panted heavily. Even his chest was heaving up and down. He was quite excited and couldn’t suppress his emotions.

Following which, he added, “Of course, that is only if that person is still alive. Although he has transcended ancient history, he is still alive and Heavenly Emperor Ye isn’t dead either!”

Chu Feng was horrified. The Dog Emperor was making all these guesses and speculations. His gambling nature was too great! What if something happened to the peerless predecessor in ancient times? What if he had truly passed away and would never appear again? Just thinking about this situation was terrifying, and it made people’s scalps go numb!

Dog emperor said, “Ask Old Man Pi. He definitely thinks the same way. He has the ruthlessness to break the fog and see the truth, and he also has the intention to force the palace to abdicate helplessly. Of course, it’s also possible that the broken scroll he brought back from heaven really has some unparalleled power.”

The chaos separated, and the innate essence surged. Starlight shone in the distance, and there was no obstruction along the way.

“What is that?”

Between the Netherworld and the yang-realm, there was a dilapidated universe that was surrounded by chaos. Many things had happened here before.

The new emperor immediately noticed the abnormality, and he personally made a move to grab a certain area.

He tore open the void, brushed away the chaos, and revealed a city that had disappeared.

It was a wooden city!

That place was quite terrifying and strange. The entire world seemed to have been torn apart by some sharp weapon. The broken surface was incomparably smooth.

Chu Feng’s heart moved. The events that had happened in this place had left an indelible impression on him.

Gu Qing couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to grab forward, wanting to understand the secret within.

Even though it had disappeared and was close to nothingness, there was still something strange about that place. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as sword lights streaked across millions of kilometers.

“Ah!”The new emperor Gu Qing shouted loudly.

He simply couldn’t believe it. His hand had been ground into pieces, turning into a bloody mist and turning into ashes. He had no choice but to quickly retreat.

Even so, he could still feel his soul light trembling and his heart trembling. What level of Evolver was he? After obtaining the heavenly emperor fruit, he was already a daofather-level creature.

But now, he was actually injured so easily!

The surrounding people were even more alarmed. The expressions of all the immortal kings changed. Even a new emperor’s hand had been cut off. This place was truly unimaginable and terrifying.

One had to know that they had just entered this universe when such an ominous thing happened.

What would happen next? What would happen next? A haze rose in everyone’s hearts.

Was a peak-level entity about to appear? The hearts of all the kings were beating fast!

Chu Feng’s heart trembled violently. He was finally certain who had left behind the traces here.

In the past, there had been a streak of sword light that swept across the sky and Earth, severing the past, present, and future.

Chu Feng had carefully observed the wood city in the past. The aftershock of that sword light seemed to have come from the depths of ancient history. Even if it was an old shadow, it was enough to shock the world.

After entering the Yang realm, he became even more suspicious. He believed that it had the same origin as the sword light from the first mountain!

Now that he saw the wood city again, he was naturally even more certain.

“It’s actually… that person. is he the one who left behind the battle ruins?”

Sure enough, the nine paths one was excited. His soul light flourished and he suddenly stood at the front.

“Was it caused by the aftershock of the sword light left behind several eras ago? !”The decaying corpse also spoke with endless questions.

“Senior, be careful. Back then…”Chu Feng stepped forward and quickly explained the situation.

Gu Qing was speechless and wanted to berate him. Why didn’t you say so earlier? !

Fortunately, the wood city was hazy and left behind only remnants. It was the flash of the sword light of the past and there wasn’t really a sword light slashing over.

After several times of blood and Qi nourishment, Gu Qing’s hand gradually recovered and no hidden dangers were left behind.

“You said there was a letter that flew out from the broken world of the Wood City? !”

Regardless of whether it was the dog emperor, the decaying corpse, the new emperor, or the various kings, they were all moved.

Chu Feng told them about what had happened in the past in a serious manner. This attracted everyone’s attention.

Back then, the letter had traversed through the void. Although Chu Feng had tried his best to observe it and carry it with the help of the stone jar, the scenery he had seen in the past had become increasingly blurry and gradually faded after so many years.

He suspected that everything he had remembered back then would disappear from his mind forever in a few years’time. That was why he explained in great detail to the new emperor and the various immortal kings.

Back then, he had even seen people fighting over the letter in the course of history. One of them had a clay-like hand.

Ever since he had gone to the Yang realm, he had always suspected whether that clay-like hand was the one sitting cross-legged on the path of reincarnation… ancestral master Meng?

Everyone was extremely solemn. They had just entered this universe when they learned of a terrifying secret. As expected, the heavenly emperor’s hometown was filled with all sorts of mysteries and oddities.

“Since ancient times, I’ve been to the small netherworld, but I didn’t sense this place. It looks like it only appeared in recent years!”Said Jiu Daoyi.

Then, he joined forces with the new emperor, Gu Qing, in an attempt to break the shackles of the river of time and stop the attacks of lightning. He wanted to avoid the afterimages of the sword flashes of the past and enter Wood City to decipher the letter!

Of course, the true letter had long disappeared. History was separated from them. They could only use the Dao ancestor’s Peerless Dao to figure out the truth of the past.

Everyone retreated. Jiu Daoyi and Gu Qing’s expressions were solemn as they began to make their moves. This area instantly became blurry. The chaotic heavenly wind blew, and blood-colored lightning interweaved. Endless time fragments poured down like a torrential rain.

The two of them tried to approach the wooden city. They walked into the light and shadow of the prehistoric era, trying to decipher the letter.

However, with two puffs, the two of them retreated. Their faces were pale. They watched helplessly as the letter in the river of history burned and turned into ashes.

They could not touch it. This was not for them to see!

“Let’s go. Our level is not enough. This is a letter for the true immortal Emperor!”Jiu Daoyi said.

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. That letter that was sent back to the old territory from an unknown place was left for the future immortal emperor to see? !

This was too terrifying. If they weren’t strong enough, even if the letter was placed in front of them, they wouldn’t be able to see it!

When they first entered this universe, they encountered this kind of situation. It was equivalent to experiencing a show of strength. This made the Immortal Kings’hearts heavy, and they became even more cautious and solemn.

After leaving this place and crossing the broken universe region, the Heavenly Court split apart the chaos and truly entered the small Netherworld region where Earth was located.

In the legends of the Yang realm, this place was filled with graves. It was an abandoned land, and it was extremely desolate.

Other than some old monsters, since ancient times in the Yang realm, even many of the prehistoric evolvers had no idea that this was the home of the Heavenly Emperor.

“No wonder the descendants of the world of the living did not know the immensity of Heaven and earth. They did not know the depth and dared to call this place a graveyard and treat it as the netherworld. This is because after the Great War in the past, this place was almost destroyed. There are new graves and old lands everywhere.”The decaying corpse sighed.

In fact, this place was indeed damaged. There was a big problem with the laws of the universe. Other than being suppressed by an unknown power, the Great Dao itself had also collapsed.

This was a problematic universe. Although it wasn’t a vipralopa world, it was almost there. Because of the suppression from the ceiling, it was too difficult to break through.

“If I really want to rise from this universe, then… it really is a heavenly Emperor Star!”The new emperor Gu Qing sighed.

“Don’t praise me like that. I’ll be embarrassed!”Chu Feng appeared very modest.

Behind him, Ouyang toad, the Black Yak, Dong Dahu, the young Daoist, and the others also puffed out their chests and raised their heads. All of them wore proud expressions.

Even though they were all reincarnated in the Yang realm and couldn’t be considered to have risen in the small netherworld in this life, they still felt a sense of glory in their hearts.

Everyone was speechless. This group of thick-skinned fellows, especially that Demon King Chu, was too shameless. He was asking for praise.

Starlight flowed in front of them, and one large star after another spun around, decorating the dark skies of the universe.

“Just think back to that era. The nine heavens and ten lands were all shattered, and even the immortal realms were destroyed. How terrifying was that!”Nine daos one let out a long sigh.

Then, he told them the true origins of this small Netherworld universe.

In the past, during the Great War, the world was in chaos. That person had crossed the realmsea and killed all the daofathers. In the end, he had even killed an immortal emperor!

The various major worlds had been shattered.

That person had later repaired the various worlds. He had taken the fragments of many continents, rebuilt them into stars, and transformed them into a universe.

“This is the place!”Ninedust stared at the starry skies, at the brilliant Milky Way. It was as though he was reminiscing about the past. He had found the familiar soil of the past, and even the bones of his old friends.

“The source you spoke of is far too ancient. Let’s talk about my era. Back then, I walked out of this universe,”the dog Emperor said. He had a tired look on his face, and there was an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.

It seemed to have endless exhaustion as it said, “I haven’t… returned for many years.”

The rotting corpse nodded and said, “That’s right. We haven’t seen each other for many years. I miss it very much. Those old lands, those secret treasures, and so on should have all been dug up by me. I shouldn’t have given my future colleagues a chance.”

Everyone was astonished. This person really had the nerve to open his mouth. What kind of nonsense had he done! !

Dog emperor said, “He stole graves and dug graves back then. He walked in the underground world, claiming that he wanted to dig up the past and present, to seize the ultimate secret of the source of the long river of history.”

“I’m leaving, I’m leaving. I’m back again today.”Dog Emperor sighed. He was gloomy and had an endless sense of exhaustion.

He actually walked out of this universe? !

To the people of the future generations, no matter how glorious the people of the past were, they would eventually be the past. They would slowly be forgotten.

“Let’s go and take a look at the emperor burial star.”Although Dog Emperor was walking upright in the starry sky, he was clearly hunched. Especially when he mentioned the emperor burial star, his voice trembled.

The rotting corpse was silent for a while before letting out a long breath.

It was a special star that had too much brilliance. It gathered the essence of the entire universe and had Grand Dao Luck. However, it eventually became a desolate land.

“Look, that’s the place. In the past, it was a place where the heavenly emperor contended for hegemony in the mortal world!”The dog Emperor pointed ahead.

“The Big Dipper Star Field?”Chu Feng was astonished.

“What a pity. It’s broken and desolate. It’s almost destroyed and was completely reconstructed in the end.”The decaying corpse was also filled with emotions. There was sadness and loneliness, but there was also a thick aura of death.

“Let’s go. I’m Old and don’t want to see the most resplendent star of the past become a desolate land.”The Dog Emperor took the lead and went inside.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive along the way.

Chu Feng dispelled this atmosphere and said, “Welcome, seniors, to the netherworld. I can be considered a landlord here and will definitely do my best to entertain everyone.”

The dog emperor patted his shoulder and said, “Seriously speaking, we’re actually fellow countrymen from the same universe. Do you have any enemies here? I’ll stand up for you.”

Chu Feng said shyly, “Although I was down and out in the past, I could be considered to have stood up in this starry sky and suppressed all the enemies. Only then did I travel to the Yang Realm.”

He couldn’t help but think of the deity race, Dameng Pure Land, quasi-immortal race, Netherworld race, primitive demon race, and so on. Those who were on good terms with him, as well as those who were enemies and factions, had all become the past.

The dog emperor heard this and nodded. “Suppress all enemies. You can also be considered a werewolf, but you can be my relative. Perhaps we really are related by blood.”

Damn you! Chu Feng cursed inwardly. who was related to you by blood? !

The rotting corpse was sad, he said, “One day, you’ll return to your homeland. Even your young enemies will miss you, but it’s a pity that they’re no longer around. Only then will you be able to understand our state of mind. With a sigh, time is merciless. It cuts away the past, erases the glory, and buries our heroic past!”

He also patted Chu Feng’s shoulder and said, “I hope you’ll never have such a day. What you see is not the vicissitudes of life, but the familiar planet Earth of the universe.”

Then they walked forward together.

After a long silence, Chu Feng spoke again. “Senior, there’s a place that’s very special. It might be able to trap true immortal level experts from the outside world.”

“Since you’re here, let’s go take a look,”said Jiu Daoyi.

Chu Feng brought everyone from the Heavenly Court to a pitch-black, pitch-black place where they couldn’t even see their own fingers. It was precisely the forbidden land of the small netherworld — the Great Abyss!

Back then, too many things had happened here.

Yaoyao had fallen from here. Yellow Ox, Dong Dahu, the old donkey, the black yak, the Wudang Grandmaster, and the others had also died in battle here.

“This place should be connected to the Great Netherworld!”Chu Feng speculated.

“There are quite a few juniors who have been lost inside, but most of them have already become corpses. Only one is still alive.”

The new emperor raised his hand. Resplendent light surged into the pitch-black abyss of the universe. Law runes flickered and illuminated the vast world below.

He was, after all, a daofather-level creature. Even though this world was suppressing him, it wasn’t a big problem for him.

Below him, a large group of figures as tall as mountains sat cross-legged. Most of them were already dead. They were all evolvers who had mistakenly entered the abyss.

Among these evolvers, there were celestial venerables, almighty experts, and even decaying top-tier cosmos-level creatures!

Without a doubt, many of them had come from the world of the living to search for Supreme Treasures. So many of them were the result of the accumulation of time.

“It is indeed connected to the netherworld, but the entire Abyss has set up a domain. If we are lucky, we might be able to cross over from there. If we are unlucky, we will be trapped here.”

“Senior, please help and save the people below. That Cosmos level expert once helped my descendant.”Yu Shang opened his mouth and asked Jiu Daoyi to quickly save the people below.

He had learned about this place from Yaoyao. In the past, when Yaoyao had fallen into the great abyss, she had been taken care of by the cosmos level creatures below and helped her to go to the netherworld.

“You guys? !”Below, the rotting cosmos level old monster opened his eyes. He was extremely shocked. There was actually such a large group of experts rushing to this place. It gave him an endless sense of oppression and made him tremble in fear.

Although he was very strong, the scene of a group of immortal kings surrounding him was a little… unbelievable. He couldn’t stand it.

He seriously suspected that he was hallucinating. Could it be that this world had come to an end and he didn’t have much life left and his mental state was in disorder?

An immortal king took a step forward. There was no need for the new emperor to do such a thing. He stretched out a large green hand and was about to fish that cosmic level old monster out of the Great Abyss.

Although he had been sitting in the abyss of the universe for a long time, this person wasn’t mentally deranged. His thoughts were still clear. He said, “Wait, senior, please wait a step. I have something to say.”

He slowly said that he was indeed the person who had come here by mistake in search of the most precious treasure in the past.

However, in the end, he actually tactfully rejected the good intentions of the kings.

“I have been sitting here for a long time. Although the blood qi is dry and I can not move, I have also obtained some opportunities and connected with the abyss. To me, there is not much life left. I might die in a few years. Rather than that, I might as well sit here for a long time. I have a feeling that this strange place might be able to help me escape death and extend my life for a lifetime.”

This cosmos-level old monster actually said such a thing.

The new emperor Gu Qing nodded, he said, “Mm, the sudden inspiration of an evolver can not be ignored, especially when it comes to things that are specific to oneself. Most of the feelings won’t be bad. Since you have such an understanding, you might as well wait for a while. The universe is about to change. Perhaps it’s really time for you to use this opportunity to reverse your luck.”

In the end, everyone left the Great Abyss and headed toward the starry sky where Earth was located.

Everyone knew that the so-called change of heaven might have started from Earth!

Chu Feng was somewhat excited. He had finally returned. Those old friends and some friends of his could go and meet them.

In fact, they had just stepped into the Brilliant Sea of stars and were still far away from Earth when a voice directly transmitted over!

“Coming, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”
