Chapter 1106: Chapter 700: _2 Chapter 1106: Chapter 700: _2 Since they existed in this era, some things truly needed confronting.
“Why think so much? If the sky falls, there will be someone tall enough to hold it up. This is as unreachable as when we will truly become immortals,” Big Black Dog was optimistic.
It was only a dog, why would it bother thinking about human concerns?
That was not its strength.
Cao Yu Sheng, however, did not think so. Even if they were not necessarily going to be targets for settlement, the chaos that ensued would turn everything in the world into a desolate and ruined wasteland, making their hopes of becoming immortals even more remote.
Even if it was possible to accumulate experiences over lifetimes, when all around were only rubble and debris, what was there to accumulate?
The man and dog, each absorbed in their own thoughts, returned to the Elder Burial King Huo Heng's palace.
It was more comfortable here.
There was food and drink, and a large bed to sleep on.
Huang did not know when he would complete his final transformation. Three more years, or perhaps tens of thousands of years? One could not simply stand there like a tree, drinking the northwest wind.
Time, always merciless, shifted swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, several hundred thousand years had passed.
Cao Yu Sheng and Big Black Dog had grown significantly older.
Cao Yu Sheng's hair, once a mix of black and white, had turned entirely white, as if covered with a layer of frost and snow.
The ravages of time had worn his face, etched with grooves and gullies, his gaze losing the sharpness of earlier years, becoming ancient and lonely.
Big Black Dog had aged quite ungracefully; its once proud physique now stooped, its fur nearly all fallen out, leaving only sparse strands, displaying desolation and bleakness.
Its eyes too had turned murky, no longer as bright and spirited as before, but filled with exhaustion and weariness.
It was not that their lifespans were about to end.
In the era of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the longest-lived in the Supreme Realm could reach a million years of life; not to mention now in the Burying Ground, where they practiced the methods of the Burial Priest, their lifespans should be even longer!
Yet, most of their lifespans had been consumed in Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the reason they came to the Burial Domain was because their lifespans had nearly reached their end.
Their current states were almost all achieved by breaking through at the weakest point of their qi and blood, which was why they looked so aged, thus leading only to increasing weariness over time, unless they could step into the Immortal Realm, at which point they could revert to their prime.
Several hundred thousand years was definitely not a short time.
During this period, numerous significant events occurred in the Burial Domain.
With the passage of time, this domain, originally hidden and little known, was thoroughly exposed, not only revealing pathways to the Burial Domain but also manifesting within The Boundary Sea.
It was as if someone had ignited a Domain Annihilation.
Of course, this was the case not only for the Burial Domain but also for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Immortal Domain.
That's why the dark chaos was also called the Great Purge.
Because all karma would undergo a final purge in this disturbance.
This meant that everyone would be drawn into it.
Karma was omnipresent, found everywhere, whether it be mortal beings of the mortal realm or the high Kings and Emperors; all were tainted with karma.
Particularly, the stronger one's power, the greater the karma on them, the same incident could result in different karmic responses.
This was also why, above the realm of Kings, most would conceal their tracks, hiding within the Cosmic Star Sea, seldom emerging into the world.
Over these hundred thousand years, as the position of the Burial Domain within The Boundary Sea became more apparent, continuous attempts were made by dark sovereigns to forcefully enter this gray territory.
Fortunately, not all Kings who had traveled to the Immortal Realm had gone; a few Burial Kings remained in the Burial Domain. After these Burial Kings revived, they eventually drove away the dark sovereign beings lurking in the shadows.
However, the Burial Domain paid a great price, with nearly one-tenth of its territory shattered, countless stars destroyed, turning into a dense field of star remains that fell within the Burial Domain, casting a gloomy darkness over the land and sky.
The one-hundred-twentieth thousandth year.
Five or six Dark Sovereigns joined forces against the Burial Domain, almost shattering the entire domain, bringing the encompassed universe towards desolation, severing all vitality.
Furthermore, one of the Burial Kings was bodily destroyed, leaving only the Primordial Spirit to flee, with deathly silence prevailing throughout the Burial Domain.
The one-hundred-fiftieth thousandth year.
The Dark King launched another attack on the Burial Domain, evidently thinking it was an easy target and determined to conquer it.
That day,
Rusty arrows rained down from the sky like meteors, pockmarking the Burial Domain, the earth cracking open into abysses.
Even more unimaginable was the sword light that cascaded down like a galaxy, dazzling and brilliant, cutting a Burial King clean in half at the waist, his King blood spurting like splashed ink.
However, this time, the Dark Kings clearly miscalculated.
Because Elder Burial King Huo Heng and other main forces had returned from the Immortal Domain.
Although those Dark Kings were strong, they couldn't withstand overwhelming numbers and ultimately, pitch-black blood plasma fell from the starry sky…
After driving away the Dark Kings coveting the Burial Domain, the Old Burial King immediately inquired about the progress of Cao Yu Sheng and Big Black Dog, feeling somewhat sighful.
Honestly, the talents of the two were no less than those of the Golden Burial Officers in the domain, but during their many years of slumber, there seemed to be invisible chains binding them, locking this man and dog tightly.
All the Burial Kings returned, and the Burial Domain regained its former tranquility and harmony.
That day,
On Shi Hao's grave, suddenly there came a sound like the earth cracking,
An unimaginable surge of vitality burst forth from that crack, fluid-like, as clear as jade marrow.
The next moment,
A pair of large hands slowly stretched out from beneath the grave mound.
Those hands, stretching slowly over the mound, each finger seemed to contain endless power, capable of tearing through the void.
As the hands moved, a strong aura emanated from the grave, sweeping everything around it.
Then, like a volcanic eruption,
The entire grave mound exploded suddenly, soil flying everywhere, golden Burial Soil fluttering into the air like stars.
This was Golden Burial Soil, coveted by countless outside.
In the entire Burial Domain, only Burial Kings and Golden Burial Soil were dignified enough to use this precious substance, which took countless years to form even a trace.
From the birth of the Burial Domain to now, countless eras later, the amount of Golden Burial Soil amassed was only about an acre in total.
A miraculous young man crawled out from the grave.
With sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his gaze deep, as if containing thousands of stars, twinkling brilliantly.
Though his face was young, it carried an immensely profound sense of age.
Walking slowly from the grave pit, his long hair cascaded down to his waist, messy and wild.
However, at this moment, the young man's expression looked dazed, his brows tightly furrowed, continuously scanning his surroundings.
Above his head, like volcanic eruptions, ten Cave Heavens burst forth, each containing a seal, the ten seals combining together, their blazing radiance enough to split heaven and earth.
Such a commotion naturally awakened Cao Yu Sheng and Big Black Dog, and alerted all the Burial Kings.
For a moment,
One figure after another hurried over, eager to find out what had happened.
Cao Yu Sheng and Big Black Dog were closest and thus arrived the quickest.
When they clearly saw the lean and strong figure, Cao Yu Sheng and Big Black Dog's eyes widened, their excitement boiling like water impossible to suppress.
“Shi Hao!” Cao Yu Sheng couldn't help but exclaim, his voice trembling.
Big Black Dog also widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Shi Hao, fearing that if he blinked, he might disappear.
Shi Hao looked at Cao Yu Sheng and Big Black Dog, his brows tightly furrowed, feeling a strange sense of familiarity but unable to recall what their names were or where he had seen them before.
His mind was swirling with chaos, those past images and sounds scattered like fragments, despite his utmost efforts to piece these fragments back together, he could not form a complete memory.
“Darn, could it be that being buried for so long caused memory loss?” Cao Yu Sheng thought with a sinking feeling, privately cursing.
As he spoke, the fatty glanced at Big Black Dog next to him.
Although they always undermined each other, to be fair, Big Black Dog had a mysterious background and knew more than he did.
As much as Cao Yu Sheng hated to admit it.
“Let's just wait and see, he has finally awakened from a long slumber, losing some memory is inevitable!” Big Black Dog spoke.
