Zhong Yue did his calculations again to pinpoint the location of the Skymetrical Scroll, finally succeeding after a long time.
“Shi Buyi, it’s all on you now!”
Right away, Shi Buyi unsheathed his Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons, struck towards the ground and started digging. He spent almost a month time before he finally managed to burrow through this star.
Zhong Yue turned around and looked back only to discover that the beautiful stars of the Solar System were already far behind them to an extent where only their divine eyes were able to see them clearly.
“Senior martial brother, I wonder how long it will take for us to return from this long journey…” Qiu Jin’er murmured as she stood beside Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue gave her a smile and chased away the negative emotions in him and he replied, “Upon our return, I will help the humans become the rulers of everything, not just the Ancestral Star but all of the planets out there!”
He then laughed happily and entered the tunnel dug out by Shi Buyi.
Meanwhile, Jun Sixie, Bai Canghai and Shi Buyi all turned around while Bai Canghai said with a happy laugh, “Big lion, why are you crying? Will a monster god actually let out a tear?”
Shi Buyi wiped his tears off and he shook his head, “I’m not crying, I’m just feeling sad that I am now leaving the place that gave birth to me and the place where I grew up. Didn’t you see Master Zhong also cry?”
He then entered the tunnel and said, “The path I walk on right now is the beginning of a monster’s legend, it is indeed a shame that my kin on the Ancestral Star won’t be able to witness my journey”
Jun Sixie, who was still dozing off on the other side, waved at Ancestral Star.
Goodbye, my Ancestral Star.
At the outer solar system, in the cold space, Zhong Yue and the others spent almost a year to reach where they are; the lighting here was very dark but thanks to their own cultivation power, this was no problem for them.
They looked around, seeing only desolation everywhere; dust blanketed the ground, and giant rocks and glaciers floated in the air.
This place was like an ancient battlefield of gods. It was now reduced to a gigantic ancient ruin with god knows how many stars having been crushed into dust here.
“There is still a star over there!”
Zhong Yue quickly led everyone there and they saw a huge palace floating on the surface of this star.
They entered the palace and suddenly, Zhong Yue was stunned. There was a transparent ball on the star, and inside of it were the reflections of the Ancestral Star and the Solar System!
He quickly examined this star and his expression turned serious.
In truth, this star actually reflected everything about the Solar System, and even those hidden tombs within the void!
It even managed to cover the interior of the sun!
“Emperor’s Tomb!” Shi Buyi lost his voice for a moment and he shouted!
Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er let out a shout as well while Bai Canghai murmured, “What kind of existence in this world created such a huge star? Why is this star here? Why does the creator of this star want to observe the Ancestral Star and the Solar System?”
This palace was the perfect location for observation, obviously, there was someone who had always been here to observe the movement in the Ancestral Star and the entire Solar System!
“Brat Yue, I’m afraid that the master of this palace is the one that gave Feng Wuji the decree!”
Xin Huo said while he examined the totem carvings carved onto the walls around the palace. He discovered that the decree shared the same origins as the totem patterns, he then said in a seriously, “Seems like Feng Wuji managed to leave the Solar System through this god’s decree!”
“Strange, Feng Wuji’s scent was here!”
Shi Buyi, on the other hand, sniffed around and said suddenly, “Although it’s weak, this scent is definitely his!”
Zhong Yue then said, “So Feng Wuji also left the Ancestral Star through this place, which means there must be some kind of a portal around here, or he wouldn't have been able to leave. Lion, follow the scent. The place where his scent vanishes will probably be the location of the teleportation array formation!”
Immediately, Shi Buyi quickly walked around and entered the depths of the palace while following Feng Wuji’s scent.
This palace was huge but empty. It seemed as if someone had raided this place. Zhong Yue could vaguely discern Feng Wuji scent. Clearly, Feng Wuji had gotten here ahead of them took the liberty of plundering all the items here!
“Such great luck he has, being able to hone his skills under such a teacher and being able to have now have access to such precious items,” said Bai Canghai.
He then said again, “He is really incredible, this place is so empty now. It’s as if locusts had just invaded it!”
Meanwhile, Shi Buyi led the way, and after quite some time, they arrived at a hidden portal in the palace. But no one was happy since it had already been destroyed by Feng Wuji; he must have planted a timed spell so that the portal would be destroyed once he left this place.
Judging from the portal that occupied a huge area of ground, it must be an interstellar teleportation array formation that could teleport any living creature to a place far away. It was clearly beyond any kind of portal that Zhong Yue could create.
In front of the portal was a stone tablet that was covered in writing that was written in the ancient divine language.
The writings said, “This is a message to the descendants of that Ancestral Star that are lucky enough to arrive here. I am the Great Saint of the Feng Clan, Feng Wuji. Here, I have ascended as a god, and I mock those that ultimately failed to see a greater future. I am the only one that managed to become a great saint from those in the Ancestral Star. Kneel before me, pray at me and I shall grant you a way out of this place.”
This words lit a fire in everyone’s stomachs, and Jun Sixie immediately erased the “Feng Clan” wordings, “You dare call yourself one from the honorable Feng Clan?”
Qiu Jin’er destroyed the tablet and said, “Senior martial sister, I think it’s better that we destroy this tablet just in case the descendants of Ancestral Star who arrive here in the future actually take him as a great hero!”
Shi Buyi on the other hand, frowned and said, “What a character….. He destroyed the portal just to prevent anyone to get out from here! How are we supposed to leave if the portal is destroyed?”
Zhong Yue bent down and examined the totem carvings and ruins around the portal. His eyes lit up with hope, and he said, “Such low-leveled thinking. Feng Wuji thinks he can destroy the portal through brute strength, but as someone who knows nothing about teleportation totem carvings, he forgot that one can still repair this portal.”
He then took out a divine stone from the ruins of the portal and said, “As long as this divine stone is still here, we can still pinpoint the location he teleported to. Give me a few days while I fix the portal.”
After a few days, Zhong Yue repaired and rebuilt the portal and placed the divine stone into the portal.
“Old Man Six Paths, are you able to retrieve this palace?” Asked Zhong Yue quickly as soon as he thought of something.
The Six Path Fruit Tree had taken rooted in the godly soil in Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen secret realms for quite some time. During this period of time, the old tree had been teaching Husan Weng. The other five of the Six Gentlemen of Returning Ruins did not follow Zhong Yue.
“I can,” replied Six Path Old Man.
He then asked again, “But if I take this palace away, where are you going to place the portal?”
Zhong Yue didn’t know how to answer this question; the portal was one with the celestial palace, which meant that by taking away the palace, the portal will be taken away as well, preventing them from teleporting away.
“This brat Feng Wuji really raided this place clean, leaving nothing behind for me!” Zhong Yue sighed.
“Finally, we could get out there to have a look at the rest of the universe with our eyes!” shouted Bai Canghai as he laughed.
“Shut up!”
Everyone scolded him immediately, “Have you forgotten that you are a harbinger of bad luck? Watch your mouth, don’t bring us bad luck!”
The upset Bai Canghai then quickly kept quiet.
Zhong Yue laughed quietly at this scene, he turned around, faced at the Ancestral Star and recalled the time when he was still a young boy harvesting herbs in the mountains. That was the first time he met Xin Huo.
My Ancestral Star, my people, today I set out for a journey for all of you, wait till I come back….
Chapter 610: Sixth Battlefield |
From infinite space came the bright light of teleportation, and shrouded in the light was a huge palace. The bright light eventually faded and the speed of the teleportation slowed down.
In front of the palace stood a young man with white hair and three eyes. He looked around from behind of the light.
Right behind his head were six light wheels where an old tree could be vaguely seen rooting in the light wheels and beside the tree was a huge carrot.
Then, two very beautiful young ladies stood behind his young man; one appeared to be very gentle and delicate while another looked very confident and perseverant.
And somewhere nearby, a middle age god stood beside a pillar; he looked very powerful, strong and firm; his gaze felt like lighting but whenever he looked at the young man with white hair, his eyes couldn’t help but betray the dread he felt.
On the other side was another young man dressed in white clothing who was looking around curiously.
These people were Zhong Yue and his companions.
It had been more than a month since they teleported out of the Solar Galaxy.
Since the teleportation light traveled through the dimension, no one knew how far they had traveled during this period of time.
Meanwhile, it had been two years since they left the Ancestral Star, and in this period of time, Zhong Yue kept drilling on the【Pan Gu Six Paths】, studied the Six Paths through Old Man Six Paths and his understanding on Six Paths grew stronger each day, but he had yet to cultivate his soul into the Innate True Soul.
However, he too improved drastically; he managed to forge the Solar Divine Saber and Metamagnet Divine Saber to the a point where they were on the verge of becoming Extreme Weapons.
And when he reached the Imminent Deity level, it would not take him long before he reached the peak state of this level to forge the extreme soul weapon.
The teleportation light’s speed decreased gradually, and what appeared in front of them were about ten dark red suns; those were dying suns, suns whose light were about to extinguish forever.
These suns formed an array that connected them together through their flame; blazing fire could be seen erupting from the suns, connecting with each other’s flame and they discovered that the flame were all made from totem carvings.
Zhong Yue was shaken as he discovered that the flame was actually a spell formed by countless fire dragons that intertwined around each other!
These spells chained the gigantic suns together and their energy to sustain themselves. This slowly drained away the energy from the suns, causing them to slowly extinguish.
“【Skill of Leize】!”
Xin Huo shouted, “【Skill of Leize】s!”
“【Skill of Leize】s?”
Zhong Yue was shocked at the fact that the chains connecting the suns were made of Leize Celestial Dragons; no one knew who exactly did this and why.
“【Skill of Leize】 is something created in the era of the Sui Sovereign. The Sui Sovereign was the son of the Leize Clan, and the 【Skill of Leize】 was created when he visualized his father — the first Innate Leize Celestial Dragon.”
Xin Huo sounded both excited and sad at the same time, and he said again, “The first Sui Sovereign brought me to life and tasked me to pass down his heritage. After walking through the entire Fire Order Era, I came to the Earth Order Era and passed this heritage to the Fuxi Celestial Race. This is the array created by the Fuxi Celestial Race, but it seems to be imperfect. This must have been created by a member of the Fuxi Celestial Race that had yet to perfectly master the 【Skill of Leize】 when I was still in my slumber….”
“The array formation of the Fuxi Celestial Race?”
The teleportation light brought them all the way into the centre of the chains that chained the suns. At the centre were countless stars that were crushed into pieces, and when Zhong Yue and the others were brought to the centre, they passed by countless pieces of these shattered stars.
Shua—
They landed on a seemingly ancient continent on centre of the huge array; as the energy of the teleportation faded, the teleportation totem carvings emerged under their feet and spreaded around slowly before they disappeared again.
These totem carvings were dimensional totem carvings; when the teleportation light touched the ground, these totem carvings were imprinted onto the ground, but as soon as the energy got depleted, they disappeared too.
“What is this place?”
Bai Canghai looked around and he murmured, “Have we gotten to the Zi Wei Imperial Star?”
Here, he saw about ten suns hung high in the skies, with the suns emitting such a strong heat that it scorched the ground.
Moreover, there were even more terrifying elements around. Volcanoes erupted everywhere, the earth trembled, windstorms rampaged about, and burning water currents swept across the land.
But what was still the most terrifying were the remnants of the skills that lingered!
This place was obviously an ancient battlefield; the destructive power that surged across this world resulted in a burst of kaleidoscopic light pillars, crushing everything in their paths.
Shi Buyi shivered and he asked, “What kind of power is this to be able to create such destruction!”
The repercussion of the spells and skills signified that a horrendous battle had once taken place here. and those who were involved were warriors with power beyond imagination!
Shi Buyi once witnessed the battle between the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor and the Xuan Yuan Sword of Nong Sovereign that unleashed destruction he had never seen before. But when compared to whatever he was witnessing right now, that battle was nothing!
The smell of death invaded their nostrils; it was impossible that there could still be life on this planet.
“We are probably still in the first Six Path World, it’s not possible that we managed to get to the Zi Wei Imperial Star in such a short time.”
Zhong Yue looked around the ruined planet, and where they stood now was the only peaceful place that was protected by some kind of unknown power.
Where they were now was a place no smaller than the Great Wilderness. And thanks to that unknown power, this place was exempt from being the destructive force that rampaged outside its confines.
“We have to look for the next portal, Feng Wuji must have taken this path as well.”
Zhong Yue said again, “This path he took must be a ancient galaxy path. There should be another portal here. Shi Buyi, track his scent and lead the way.”
Shi Buyi nodded and started sniffing around and he suddenly said, “Feng Wuji was here!”
He tracked the scent of Feng Wuji while Jun Sixie, Qiu Jin’er and Bai Canghai looked around trying to obtain more information.
Zhong Yue, however, was currently distracted by the realization that this place was very compatible with his Fuxi bloodline, making it very suitable for him to cultivate here.
He looked up into the skies in an attempt to learn as much as he could from the 【Skill of Leize】 that chained the suns together, but due to the extreme distance, he f
ailed to gain any insights.
On the other hand, Xin Huo was an expert in 【Skill of Leize】 as it was him that passed the art down to the descendents of Fu Xi Celestial Race. But since Zhong Yue was not the chosen one, he was not taught it.
“Perhaps the Fuxi Celestial Race set all these up to fight off some strong enemies?” Zhong Yue murmured.
“We found it!” Shi Buyi exclaimed and Zhong Yue recollected his thoughts before he rushed towards Shi Buyi.
And this was when Qiu Jin’er suddenly called him and said, “Senior martial brother, there’s a temple here!”
“A temple?”
Immediately, Zhong Yue rushed towards Qiu Jin’er’s side. He soon saw a ruined temple that stood firmly on the strange battlefield.
The temple was in poor condition, but the radiance of a holy and solemn aura still emanated from the temple, creating a sanctuary from the cruelty of war.
And it was because of this temple that this area of land was protected from the war.
In the temple was a stone table with words that were illuminated with a soft light. There were only ten words on it.
“Memorial Tablet to My Brothers and Sisters Resting Eternally in the Sixth Battlefield.”
Zhong Yue read the tablet and said, “The Sixth Battlefield? This is the Sixth Battlefield, but what kind of a battle is this?”
There was also some words on the back of the tables, but these words were written by someone else.
“The rebels of Fuxi Celestial Race traveled across the universe, through 3000 Six Paths World and the our elites of these worlds failed to stop them even after engaging in six battles. We suffered heavy losses, and finally, we managed to annihilate the Fuxi rebels in the seventh battle. During our return, we came across this tablet. And out of respect for their courage, we did not want to destroy it, thus, the tablet was left behind as a memorial.”
Zhong Yue hesitated for a moment before he entered the temple and he saw countless spirit tablets erected all over the temple.
The spirit seat of Feng Yan from the Fuxi Celestial Race.
