Chapter 245 The World-Destroying Demon
This is a vast space excavated by humans, not the end of the ancient road.
Wisps of mist lingered in the void, making everything look hazy.
The ground is full of pits and pits, with traces of cuts by swords and axes, and is mottled and weathered.
It can be seen that the people who opened this place were in a hurry and did not take any time to relax.
Compared to the flat area in front where the altar stood, this space seemed much more casual.
Seeing this, Chi Cang thought thoughtfully. Didn't those creatures give up the excavation due to some accident and retreat as a whole? Why was such an independent space opened up deep within the Chaos Wall? Could it be that they are secretly continuing the disconnection?
Liu Shen, Xiao Ta and others next to him also thought of this, and they all stared ahead.
"There are no living creatures, right? If there are, they are simply living fossils, a walking ancient secret history." Xiaota said to himself.
They became vigilant. If the creatures of that period could survive, they must at least be true immortals. The creatures of this level are called immortals and can theoretically be immortal.
However, the fact is that even if you become an immortal, it is unlikely that you will live forever, because there will always be gaps in the times, regardless of anyone's will.
Just like the mysterious age of gods they just discovered, and the era before the fall of the emperor, they all disappeared inexplicably into ancient history.
Here, it is surrounded by chaotic walls on all sides, isolating the detection of spiritual consciousness, and it is a two-way world from the outside world. If you hide here, you may not be able to survive. After all, there are still living things in the outside passages.
The void is dark and unclear, and there is no light source in the entire space. It is very dark. If it weren't for the fairy light overflowing from Chi Cang and Liu Shen, it would be absolutely impossible to see anything here.
Chi Cang thought for a while and took out the Immortal King Eternal Light Lamp he had just refined.
The ancient lamp shimmered with metallic luster. It was mixed with various kinds of fairy gold during the refining process, making it indestructible.
A warm flame burned quietly inside the lampshade. The fireworks were motionless, extremely silent.
Suddenly, the space became much brighter.
Seeing this, Liu Shen also took out the one that belonged to her.
Two ever-burning lamps continuously emit soft firelight, illuminating the eternal night here.
The two of them each held one and stepped forward in the empty space.
The deeper you go, the more potholes there are on the ground, which are messy and disorderly, as if they were hacked and chopped randomly.
The mist here lingers all year round and never dissipates, just like a ghostly place.
Two groups of gentle but extremely bright fires moved in this dark space. In the empty silence, only the sound of gentle footsteps echoed.
Slowly, the space became narrower, from being wide at the beginning to now with chaotic walls visible on both sides and above.
Chi Cang and Liu Shen were silent, holding ancient lanterns and moving forward step by step.
Suddenly, the two stopped and their eyes narrowed slightly.
Just a few dozen feet ahead, there was a human body lying leaning in the middle of the road.
This is a humanoid skeleton, with the whole body completely preserved. Apart from the lack of flesh and blood, it is no different from ordinary humans in other places.
In the long darkness, this skeleton exuded a faint gleaming light, as if it were made of jade.
There is no doubt that the owner of this skeleton was a peerless strong man. It is impossible to verify how many years ago he belonged to the era. The fact that his bones were immortal during such a long period of time is enough to prove that he had extraordinary conduct during his lifetime.
Chi Cang stared, his eyes shining brightly, like two suns.
He was observing whether there was any danger around the remains. Although this creature had been dead for many years, it was better to be just in case.
"There are no traces of arrangement." He said.
"This is the first humanoid skeleton we have seen. The previous sea of bones were all the bones of strange ancient beasts." Liu Shen nodded in response.
Holding the Immortal King's Ever-Lighting Lamp, they came to the remains and conducted a more careful exploration.
"This creature seems to have entered the realm of immortality. How did it die? The bones are so well preserved, it doesn't seem like it suffered any serious injuries." Xiaota was very confused.
Chi Cang and Liu Shen didn't know either. They found out their spiritual thoughts and landed on the bones.
As a result, the glowing bones were just an empty shell, and the most precious marrow inside had long gone.
Logically speaking, the owner of the bones was an immortal creature. After his death, there should still be marrow left in his bones. After all, existence at this level is known as immortal. Without external interference, the marrow will not disappear out of thin air.
While they were thinking, some ancient characters suddenly appeared on the place where the bones of the bones fell. They were very brilliant, like casts of fairy gold, like little suns, releasing bright light in the darkness.
"This is……"
Chi Cang, Liu Shen, and the two Chaos Magical Artifacts were all shocked, because the ancient characters were made of complex lines and contained the secrets of the heavens. They did not look like the handwriting of a true immortal.
"Oh my God, is it an Immortal King who fell here?" Xiaota screamed, unable to calm down.
What is the concept of an Immortal King? The ancient world where Guxuan Divine Kingdom is located has stood on the ancient road for endless years. No one who passes by dares to be presumptuous. It is so powerful, and only one Tianyang King has walked out.
Anyone who has advanced to the level of Immortal King can worship heaven and earth, overlook the vast earth, and even step forward in the long river of time, possessing unimaginable abilities.
It was such a majestic and powerful man, but now only his bones are left, lying in this cold and desolate space, with no one paying attention.
In fact, the bones left behind do not have any pressure at all, and apart from still emitting a faint gleaming light, there is nothing magical about it.
Even if we have never met each other or seen each other, seeing such a scene still makes people feel desolate.
What happened to him?
Chi Cang and Liu Shen had solemn expressions on their faces. The powerful Immortal King seemed to have been sucked dry by some terrifying thing. His marrow was gone, leaving only withered bones.
No one knows where the danger comes from.
They stared at these bright ancient characters that appeared out of thin air, with the spiritual power of the Immortal King attached to them. Even if they didn't know these ancient characters at all, they could understand their meaning.
They remain hidden in some form until someone triggers them, and they become visible.
Eons of time have passed, and this passage has always been buried in chaos and unknown to the public. Naturally, these ancient characters have never been revealed.
Chi Cang and Liu Shen speculated that they might have used their spiritual sense to explore the remains, which triggered the trigger.
After the two of them confirmed that there was no danger, they immersed their consciousness in it. Suddenly, a stormy wave crashed in from eons ago. It was a massive amount of information, and it was some kind of truth that this Immortal King left to future generations.
Chi Cang and Liu Shen were preparing to receive this information. As a result, inexplicable power emerged and most of the waves melted away in an instant.
The two of them were surprised because the power appeared so suddenly and caught people off guard. It was definitely not the arrangement of the Immortal King.
Judging from the turbulent waves, the Immortal King wanted to tell the whole truth to those who came after him, but in the end, most of it was intercepted and destroyed.
"The power of cause and effect?"
Chi Cang and Liu Shen looked very serious.
"It seems that the message that the Immortal King wanted to convey involves some kind of taboo. The cause and effect was too great and it was backfired."
When the waves came in, only sporadic waves remained.
The information also became fragmented and intermittent.
Chi Cang and Liu Shen closed their eyes slightly, digesting the remaining fragments of information.
There are only a few incoherent key phrases, but enough to make people think a lot.
After a long time, the two opened their eyes.
At this time, the remains of the Immortal King had been affected by that power and turned into ashes, scattered on the ground.
It is a sigh that a generation of strong men, who have been fighting for years, finally ended up like this.
They took action and opened up a space on the spot to hold the ashes of the Immortal King. After burying it, Chi Cang dug up a huge stone, cut it into a monument with a thunder knife, and stood in front of the tomb.
Liu Shen stepped forward, made a knife with his fingers, and carved words on the stele. Since he didn't know the name of the Immortal King, he replaced it with no name.
"The ancient road, the cornerstone that carries all things, excavation, sacrifice, crisis, creation, destruction, death of gods, chaos gods and demons, opening up." Chi Cang whispered.
These are the only fragments of information left after being counterattacked by the power of cause and effect.
Combining what they experienced and saw, Chi Cang and Liu Shen almost had a line in their hearts.
In the ancient world where the Immortal King was located, he discovered this ancient road buried in chaos, and unearthed a "cornerstone that carries all things" inside. Materials used in sea walls.
Therefore, they mobilized their efforts to excavate, and built altars to the gods in the excavated passages to worship those supreme beings.
Later, when the crisis was approaching and the destruction of the Mother Realm was imminent, the excavation here stopped, and many creatures evacuated this place and fled to other places.
The subsequent keywords "destruction of the world" and "death of the gods" are not difficult to understand.
Even when the Mother Realm was destroyed, the gods they worshiped also died one after another. This can be seen from the altars of the gods.
"I have a question, what does creation mean? Why are creation and destruction together?" Xiaota was confused.
These two words are like two poles, placed next to each other. What exactly do you want to say?
In the eyes of Chi Cang and Liu Shen, there was a majestic scene of surging chaos and twinkling stars in the sky. It was obvious that they were very uneasy in their hearts.
"Creation and destruction are like a change. As for what the word creation refers to, haven't we seen it before?" Chi Cang said with deep eyes.
Liu Shen could still remain calm because he and Chi Cang thought of going together and had already expected it. However, Xiaota and Six Paths of Reincarnation Pan's hearts were beating wildly and they almost screamed.
According to what Chi Cang said, didn't Creation refer to the owner of the first altar they explored, the Jiuyou Zhan who was known as the Creation God?
If this is really a transition, from creation to destruction, then it all makes sense.
They couldn't help but recall that in that wild era when the gods were shining brightly and competing for supremacy in the heavens, a Nine Nether Beast occupied a place.
Suddenly, it tried to defeat the king and become the emperor, leaping over in an extremely domineering way. In the end, it succeeded, but it also suffered heavy damage, and even the stone statues related to it were broken and cracked.
Later, Jiuyouzhan recovered, but for unknown reasons, it changed from the original God of Creation to the Demon of World Destruction. Its terrifying power dimmed the stars in the sky and made hundreds of millions of ancient worlds tremble.
Subsequently, the gods resisted and were brutally killed by the World-Destroying Demon. A glorious and splendid era ended just like that, and was lost in the long river of history.
Not only were many ancient worlds reduced to ashes, but all immortal kings and immortal creatures, no matter where they were, could not escape disaster. For example, this immortal king who left behind his means to inform those who came after him of the truth could not hide here. He was able to escape death, but all his flesh, blood, and essence were lost, and even his bone marrow was drained.
The era was interrupted like this, and later generations knew nothing about this shocking event. Everything was buried in the long river of time. Only some ancient ruins, hidden in the chaos, had gone through the vicissitudes of the ages, quietly waiting for latecomers to discover them. , turn on.
Such thoughts filled the minds of Xiaota and Six Paths of Reincarnation, and they couldn't get rid of them for a long time.
They were speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. There was only endless coolness, which was so cold that it penetrated into the bone marrow, making people's soul feel like it had fallen into an ice cellar, and they couldn't help but shiver.
Even if this is just a conjecture, it is probably close to the truth, because at the altar of the gods, all the stone statues of the gods are broken, except for the stone statue of the creator god Jiuyouzhao. Even though it is broken, it still releases the immortal power. King-level terrifying pressure.
Everyone was silent, and they all had palpitations.
Is it really? How could there be such a tragedy? What is the purpose of a quasi-immortal emperor, Jiuyou Zhan, who kills all the people and annihilates the world?
You know, this is a believer who enshrines him as the God of Creation and often performs sacrifices. Why would he be so ruthless and kill him?
Chi Cang, Liu Shen, Xiao Pagoda, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk did not talk about it, because they knew that these things were nothing they thought in their hearts. If they spoke out, there would be great cause and effect.
This was the reason for the sudden feeling of horror that arose when we were discussing on the altar of the God of Creation.
At this moment, they can already conclude that the Nine Nether Dragon is still alive, but it may not have any good intentions towards the heavens.
After all, aeons ago, it transformed from the God of Creation into the Demon of Destruction, destroying the world and killing everyone, directly breaking the layers of that era.
Such a ruthless character, who dares to say whether it will stage another act of annihilation?
Chi Cang couldn't help but think of the Lord of Heaven who crossed the sea alone after becoming a quasi-immortal emperor.
He encountered a death disaster at the other end of the boundary sea. The whole heaven felt it and called it the fall of the emperor.
What kind of terrible killings did the Lord of Heaven, who had the world in mind, encounter? Was it done by the quasi-immortal emperor Jiuyou Zhan?
Chi Cang felt that the truth might be like this. A being who killed billions and destroyed the world with his own hands was no different from darkness.
Everyone stood there for a long time, feeling a lot heavier. The truth of the past was so cruel. There was a terrifying existence with a ferocious aura standing in front of them, waiting for them.
Chi Cang was very glad that he knew this in advance. He had long said that he would rather despair knowing the truth than die silently in ignorance.
Moreover, he has not yet reached the point of despair. He and Liu Shen have unparalleled talents, so they may not be able to become quasi-immortal emperors.
At that time, they will gather their strength and strive to gather at least three quasi-immortal emperors, then cross the boundary sea and face the darkness. The ending will definitely not be as bleak as the Lord of Heaven, and the world will not enter the fall of the emperor again.
