Chapter 910: The Ancestors' Martyrdom, Forever Plunged into the Abyss
Chapter 910: The Ancestors' Martyrdom, Forever Plunged into the Abyss
February 10, 2025
Boom!
A heavy sound reverberated.
Opposite it, a massive figure plummeted beyond the layers of valleys.
The monstrous bird, shrieking amidst countless strong winds, eventually dissipated reluctantly, leaving only Yu Ming Old Ancestor's physical form.
Yu Ming Old Ancestor struggled, attempting to stand up.
However, both his physical body and divine soul were now extremely weak.
Especially his once mighty Yuan Shen, which had been over-stimulated by the Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi, was now suffering from backlash.
At this moment, the Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi surged towards him, continuously assaulting his enormous Yuan Shen.
The raging winds howled in their death throes!
But they were also dissipating!
Yu Ming Old Ancestor had no other choice but to watch helplessly as his Yuan Shen swelled and grew, gradually being assimilated by the Heaven and Earth, leading to an outcome of nothingness.
However, compared to the footsteps approaching from a distance, death didn't seem so frightening anymore.
"Three powerful beings of the Abyss, one flees without a fight, another hides in the shadows with sinister intentions, but you still have some backbone."
Yu Ming Old Ancestor smiled bitterly, as the master of the Abyss Sect, he was determined to fight to the death.
In his line of sight, a figure in red approached slowly, and the raging winds around her only accentuated her formidable power.
Countless strands of Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi assaulted her figure, but when she was just a few zhang away, she couldn't advance any further.
This wasn't just a rumor!
These beings had attained the Law Essence, capable of harnessing the world's origin power as a means of combat, almost indistinguishable from the Heavenly Dao.
However, individual strength was insignificant.
If one overstimulated it, they would face the world's backlash.
This was because the world itself, which had given birth to countless living beings, wasn't that vast, and it was impossible for someone to recklessly squander all that belonged to them.
But clearly, after the great battle, Yu Ming Old Ancestor couldn't suppress the backlash anymore.
His bargaining chip was insufficient, and he would be lifted up by the other end.
At this moment, Yu Ming Old Ancestor stared at the woman in red approaching with disbelief, enduring the Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi assaulting his Yuan Shen, and said hoarsely, "The power you've unleashed is no different from the late Huashen stage. Why aren't you affected by Yuan Qi backlash or the assimilation of Heaven and Earth?"
Qixia Yuanjun stopped walking, standing about a li away from Yu Ming Old Ancestor, who was lying on the ground.
A beautiful arc rose from the corner of her mouth, and she smiled lightly, "That's because I have the strength to suppress even a late Huashen stage cultivator."
Yu Ming Old Ancestor opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to say it was impossible.
Indeed, this realm could produce late Huashen stage cultivators, and that was the best realm for ascending.
But how could such beings move with such vast amounts of Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi accompanying their every action, allowing them to act so recklessly like Qixia Yuanjun?
Moreover, she claimed to have the strength to suppress a late Huashen stage cultivator?
Could it be... Refining Emptiness?
"No!"
Yu Ming Old Ancestor struggled to crawl to the side of a bare rock, leaning against it and shaking his head.
"I don't believe it!"
"Although your strength is formidable, the realm you've displayed is indeed on par with ours."
This time, Qixia Yuanjun didn't respond to his words.
Instead, she turned her beautiful eyes towards one of the many overlapping mountain ranges.
"Junior, come out!"
A figure slowly emerged.
He glanced at Qixia Yuanjun with a calm expression, then shifted his attention to Yu Ming Old Ancestor, who was in a pitiful state, his aura rapidly expanding.
Despite being covered in injuries after the great battle, his aura was crazily expanding, an illogical sight that cultivators like them naturally understood.
"Fengjiang, why did you come out?" Yu Ming Old Ancestor asked, somewhat resentful.
Fengjiang's expression was filled with deep sorrow, and he respectfully bowed, "With the sacred ground in ruins and the sect fallen, how can a disciple save himself alone?"
Yu Ming Old Ancestor said in despair, "But you're no match for her."
"Lei Daozi also wasn't her match, yet he still drew his sword without hesitation. Why not you?" Fengjiang countered, then slowly stood up, facing the unimaginable pressure from Qixia Yuanjun, who wasn't far away, "At least, I won't let her leave here unscathed!"
"What audacity!"
Qixia Yuanjun scoffed, then pointed a finger in the air.
Pfft!
A blood hole suddenly appeared in Fengjiang's forehead.
His Sea of Consciousness shattered, and his divine soul scattered.
A generation of Valley Immortal perished.
However, at this moment, Fengjiang's face revealed an expression of relief, as if he had been trapped here for too long and finally found liberation.
Qixia Yuanjun furrowed her brows, sensing that something was amiss.
She swept her divine sense and abruptly looked down at her hand.
A strand of gray Qi, following Fengjiang's collapse, entangled Qixia Yuanjun.
Suddenly, Qixia Yuanjun raised her eyebrows and exclaimed, "Gu Xian Fengjiang? The Jiegu, one of the three five-stage Xian Gu in Nanjiang, is in your hands!"
Unfortunately, Fengjiang was no longer able to answer her.
In response, the ground trembled, and enormous ravines spread out in all directions, centered on Qixia Yuanjun.
The earth's fire raged, and scorching magma soared into the sky.
The Earth Calamity has arrived!
Elder Yu Ming sadly gazed at his disciple, who had departed before him. Among the younger generation, this was the one he held in the highest regard, far surpassing Lei Daozi, Ye Lingtian, Tan Sheng, and others.
But now, he had perished.
"If you had returned to the Dan Sheng Paradise earlier, with its blessings, perhaps you wouldn't have endured the constant torment of the Jiegu, and you might have even advanced to the Hua Shen stage."
"It's fine now; you've finally found your liberation."
"Then, I'll use my last strength to lend you a helping hand, allowing you to depart with more brilliance."
Muttering to himself, the massive Yuan Shen's body began to burn fiercely.
Enveloping the corpse of the Fengjiang, thick gray mist surged upward, reaching the heavens.
The Earth Calamity had arrived, but where was the Heavenly Punishment? It was as if the heavens were responding to him.
The next moment—
Boom!
In the sky, a startling thunderclap suddenly reverberated.
It was as if Lei Daozi had once again controlled a Lei Chi, but the force was a thousand times more powerful! The arrogance on Qixia Yuanjun's face finally diminished by a third.
She looked up at the sky, where the dark and oppressive Ying Cloud was gathering at an unimaginable speed.
Within it, white light flickered, and electricity snaked like dragons, resembling the end of the world.
"What a formidable young one!"
"Before dying, he dared to attempt a breakthrough to the Hua Shen realm, triggering the Jiegu, and even in his final moments, Elder Yu Ming pushed him further."
"By killing you, I've inadvertently drawn the wrath of heaven upon myself."
"However, does this Heavenly Punishment and Earth Calamity think they can stop me?"
Qixia Yuanjun coldly chuckled, transforming into a soaring pillar of fire that soared into the sky.
She intended to disperse the Heavenly Punishment before it fully formed.
This action seemed to trigger a chain reaction.
The earth trembled, and countless giant yellow hands emerged from the ground, reaching towards her. Streams of lava flowed from all directions, and violent spiritual energy erupted from the earth's veins, accompanied by an unimaginable gravitational force pressing down on her.
In the sky, the dark and oppressive Ying Cloud gathered at an increasingly rapid pace, filled with countless thunderbolts and lightning.
This was a Heavenly Punishment that no Yuan Ying cultivator could have imagined! Even more astonishingly, within the cloud, silhouettes of various beasts began to emerge.
There were white electric snakes, purple thunder dragons, and black deer.
Qixia Yuanjun's expression grew increasingly grave, as the power of the Heavenly Punishment seemed to intensify with her own strength.
If she were at her peak, she wouldn't have feared it.
But in the Shan Hai Jie, no matter how powerful one became, they couldn't surpass the might of this world. She even felt that the Heavenly Dao of this world had the intention to eradicate her, and the actions of the Valley Immortal and Fengjiang were merely riding the current.
"This world cannot confine me!"
"Not to mention a mere Heavenly Punishment and Earth Calamity!"
Qixia Yuanjun let out a fierce shout, and with a wave of her palm, the bizarre Earth Calamity was instantly suppressed.
Endless golden flames erupted from her body, surging towards the thundercloud.
She was confident that she could suppress the Earth Calamity and destroy the Heavenly Punishment.
However!
"Because of you, the entire 500,000-li Mingyuan Sanctuary, with over three thousand years of history, has been reduced to ashes. How can I let you leave unscathed?"
"Yao Feng, let's sink into this place together!"
"Forever trapped in the Mingyuan Abyss!"
A figure appeared beneath the endless Ying Cloud, gazing down at the soaring fire phoenix.
He muttered softly, uttering ancient and cryptic words that didn't resemble the common language of this world.
But Qixia Yuanjun instantly understood, and her face turned pale in shock.
"How dare you!"
The long-absent Tian Yuan Old Ancestor ignored her, continuing to wield his Fa Li and casting one Fa Jue after another.
Under his actions, it was as if everything was being torn apart.
"Unleash the Jade Destruction Seal, descend into the Youming Yellow Spring!"
The Youming Yellow Spring, which had surrounded the sanctuary for thousands of years, began to surge violently, rising higher and higher from the shore.
"Heavenly Chaos, open the Eye of the Heart!"
A pair of eyes, identical to those of the Tian Yuan Old Ancestor, appeared in the Ying Cloud behind him. At this moment, he replaced the will of heaven with his own, fixing his gaze on Qixia Yuanjun.
The latest, smallest, and most exciting chapter is now available!
"Without successors, open the water barrier!"
The 500,000-li Mingyuan Sanctuary had long been ravaged by war, and the vast Yuan Qi swept across the land, leaving few survivors. The once-vast Mingyuan Sect was now indistinguishable from ruins, and the words "without successors" held no weight in the cultivation world.
If this was the case, why should such a precious land be left to others?
The invisible barrier that sealed the boundless Youming Yellow Spring suddenly opened, and the torrential Mingyuan waters rose, with the water level already surpassing the Mingyuan continent by an unknown height.
At this moment, the Tian Yuan Old Ancestor was already struggling, barely able to continue.
Qixia Yuanjun couldn't just stand by and watch him perform this self-destructive technique. Taking a deep breath, she let out a sharp cry towards the Tian Yuan Old Ancestor.
"Caw!"
The phoenix's cry reverberated through the heavens and across the universe.
The Tian Yuan Old Ancestor's open mouth suddenly froze, and his lifeless eyes sank into the Mingyuan waters.
Qixia Yuanjun breathed a sigh of relief; it had finally stopped.
With her extensive knowledge, she naturally understood that this was a type of seal-breaking technique.
But what seals could be broken in the Mingyuan Sect? Only the Youming Yellow Spring, older than the Mingyuan Sect itself, which had flowed through the Shan Hai Jie for millions of years!
Within it lay not only the souls of the demons and ancient beasts that the Mingyuan Sect had suppressed during the ancient battles, but also powerful evil spirits that had naturally formed due to the dense yin energy.
Once the seal was broken, the consequences were unimaginable.
However, the next moment, the murmuring voices echoed once again.
Qixia Yuanjun's expression froze, and he suddenly turned his head. Countless waves of Ming water surged, and within it, countless incarnations of Tian Yuan Old Ancestor rose and fell.
The three great ancestors of Mingyuan Sect each possessed formidable divine abilities.
One was adept at controlling the wind, rarely facing a formidable opponent in direct combat.
Another controlled rain and dew, trapping and killing enemies with ease.
But it was Tian Yuan Old Ancestor who was most proficient in the art of creating incarnations, and when it came to survival skills, he was the best in the Mingyuan Sect.
It could be said that if he wanted to escape today, even with Qixia Yuanjun's pursuit, it would be difficult to completely eradicate him.
But if he didn't want to leave, things would be different.
This time, all the incarnations of Tian Yuan Old Ancestor, scattered across various locations, simultaneously activated the curse, their voices filled with urgency as if fearing they wouldn't last until that moment.
"Chaos in the heavens and earth, unlock the soul chains!"
"Great collapse, open the ghostly chains!"
"Separation of Yin and Yang, open the ghost gate! Open! Open!"
After the final three 'Open' shouts, Qixia Yuanjun felt as if something in the world had been severed.
Amidst the boundless Ming waters, countless wails suddenly arose.
Powerful ghosts, seemingly returning from the netherworld, cheered endlessly.
Standing atop the surging waves, they revealed their massive ghostly forms.
They vied to devour the helpless incarnations of Tian Yuan Old Ancestor, and the already formidable aura emanating from their bodies became even more terrifying.
Among them, there were at least eight or nine who were comparable to the power of a Hua Shen master.
Below the Hua Shen stage, their numbers were countless!
Facing the onslaught of evil ghosts, Tian Yuan Old Ancestor remained calm, accepting his fate.
This was the price of opening the netherworld abyss, releasing the ancient evil spirits that had been sealed for millions of years in Dong Huang's first forbidden land.
But he had no regrets!
It was his incarnation that had brought the wolf into the room, leading the formidable enemy into the heart of the sect. He naturally had to pay the price.
Similarly, Qixia Yuanjun had destroyed his sect, and the other party would also have to pay a price.
Moreover, if they could keep the other party here, with the resources the Mingyuan Sect had left outside, there was still a chance to rebuild the Dong Huang Holy Land.
"He Ze Shidi should have hidden in the Dan Sheng Paradise and can avoid this calamity."
"Chong Ming Shizhi, who is traveling outside, has already comprehended the Dao principle by taking the Tianji Pill and will have a great chance to advance to the Hua Shen stage in the future."
"There's also Shangyou Xiancheng, Dongyang Zong, and..."
The rest of his thoughts could no longer remain clear, as countless ghosts were devouring his incarnations one by one.
Even some Yuan Ying-stage ghosts, after devouring his incarnations, were able to advance to the Hua Shen stage within a short period.
Although it was only for a fleeting moment, it should have been enough to cause trouble for Qixia Yuanjun.
"Leave her behind!"
This was Tian Yuan Old Ancestor's final thought.
As his consciousness completely dissipated, all the evil ghosts simultaneously turned their gazes towards the incredibly beautiful, voluptuous, and mouth-watering figure in the red dress.
"Ao Wu..."
Amidst the wails and howls of the ghosts, countless ghosts, accompanied by endless Ming waters, submerged the Mingyuan Sanctuary and Qixia Yuanjun.
...
In the vast and turbulent netherworld sea.
Birds couldn't approach, and no living creatures survived.
Suddenly!
A spark ignited within the Ming waters, setting it ablaze.
Evil ghosts rushed towards it, but the flame devoured them with ease.
Then, with an even more determined and frenzied demeanor, it spread in all directions.
In just a few breaths, the hundreds of thousands of miles of Mingyuan Abyss were thoroughly ignited by golden flames, boiling incessantly.
Within, the resentful spirits and ferocious ghosts wailed endlessly, emitting agonizing cries.
A clear sound pierced through the layers of Ming water, echoing across the sky.
"Tian Yuan, you can't trap me!"
The waves surged, and the golden flames divided.
A figure sat atop a treasure map adorned with countless beasts and burst out of the netherworld abyss.
Her face was pale, and her eyes held a fierce determination.
Crackle!
As she appeared, a lightning bolt suddenly struck from the sky, accompanied by thunderous electric snakes and roaring dragons.
"Annoying thing!"
For the first time, Qixia Yuanjun showed a hint of anger, but this time, she no longer tried to destroy the heavenly tribulation.
During the time she was trapped in the Mingyuan Abyss, the heavenly tribulation had reached its peak.
This was a heavenly tribulation capable of erasing any powerful existence in the Shan Hai Jie.
To resist it was to defy the entire world! Qixia Yuanjun glanced at a certain spot in the Mingyuan Abyss and then rose without hesitation.
The lightning struck her, and beneath her, a beast's shadow vanished from the treasure map.
Unable to destroy the tribulation or transcend it, she became its substitute! Fortunately, she had the Ling Bao Ten-thousand beasts Map obtained from Yue Sanren, which contained countless powerful beast souls, enough to withstand numerous heavenly tribulation strikes.
This heavenly tribulation wouldn't last long and would eventually dissipate.
Qixia Yuanjun left, leaving behind the vast Mingyuan Abyss where no living creatures could enter, as well as the blazing Nirvana Holy Fire.
Even the ominous cloud that gathered endless thunder followed her departure.
Black and gold became the only two colors in this place.
As Qixia Yuanjun departed, the direction of her final gaze was towards the Dan Sheng Paradise!
Inside, He Ze Old Ancestor struggled to stand up, trembling as he approached Luo Chen, who was protected by a golden fire circle.
"Nirvana Holy Fire!"
"It's you!"
"It's you who brought the wolf into the room!"
