  Hundun Yu’s heart skipped a beat, the two ladies wore a pale expression and when Yi Wanjun tapped Zhong Yue’s shoulder, she horridly saw Zhong Yue falling down just like that.

  Shi Yinji screamed in fear but suddenly, a little flame reached his head out from Zhong Yue’s forehead and yawned in a lackadaisical manner and said, “Keep it down will ya? He just fainted under the impact. He’s not dead.”

  The three of them eased their pumping hearts right away and Shi Yinji giggled, “For a second I thought I had become a widow!”

  Sometime later, conscious returned to Zhong Yue and Yi Wanjun immediately asked caringly, “Are you okay?”

  “What! I can’t hear you!” shouted Zhong Yue however.

  Yi Wanjun blinked her eyes and whispered to Shi Yinji, “Might have turned deaf because of the loud drumbeat….”

  Meanwhile, the Drum of Dusk continued sounding in Zhong Yue’s ears, again and again, drilling its noise into Zhong Yue’s mind, deep into his soul and covering all other sounds from the outside world.

  Due to how many times the drums were beaten, even after they stopped, the drumbeat still seeped into his body and Yuan Shen.

  Slowly, Zhong Yue felt that the drumbeat faded, like they came from the outer skies and the rumbling drumbeats became a unique Dao language.

  About a month time later, the drumbeats were no longer heard and the sound from the surrounding was able to enter his ears again.

  But Zhong Yue remain seated mindlessly as the Dao language sounded again and again.

  Sometime later, he reached out his hand, clenched his fist and a drumbeat sounded out of nowhere, struck Hundun Yu, Yi Wanju and Shi Yinji.

  With a clench, Zhong Yue seemed to have beaten the Drum of Dusk, crippled and sealed the Daos and Yuan Shen in them!

  And when he stood up, the trio felt that Zhong Yue’s body grew as he stand, shrouding the surrounding with his overwhelming shadow, instilling fear and despair into them as if they were all slowly descending into the abyss!

  [Daoless Heaven]!

  Such was the [Daoless Heaven]!

  Zhong Yue dispersed his spell and with that, the recovery of the trio and they found themselves drenched in sweat as they stared at him in fear.

  “So this is [Daoless Heaven]….”

  Zhong Yue’s expression was a little strange. This type of Dao was a Dao that could not be cultivated under the current totem pattern cultivation system. This meant that not a single type of totem pattern could create such a Dao!

  This was a unique Dao that only existed during the Dark Age, there was no way that the current totem pattern cultivation system could replicate it.

  Perhaps this was also the reason why the Lei Zhe Celestial Dragon could perform [Daoless Heaven], as an innate god traced all the way back to Dark Age. It was not surprising that he had seen such a spell or fought against it.

  But there was something even more complicated and advanced hidden in the [Daoless Heaven], it’s only that Zhong Yue had yet to learn it.

  “This Dao is quite useful, I can teach it to you but whether or not you can achieve [Daoless Heaven] will entirely depend on yourselves.”

  Zhong Yue’s psyche entered Hundun Yu, Yi Wanjun and Shi Yinji’s mind along with his understanding of [Daoless Heaven]. The trio immediately started dwelling into [Daoless Heaven], the Dao from Dark Age entirely out of the current cultivation system, which boosted the difficulty to learn it. How much knowledge will they acquire Zhong Yue did not know.

  He took out the spirit balls, examined them carefully and after channeling eighth divine psyche into the spirit balls for some time, he frowned and put the ball down.

  Dao Venerate Fu Min had given him 3,000 spirit balls and he thought that he would be able to peek into the secrets in these balls with eighth divine psyche, he was disappointed. Nothing happened at all even when he channeled his eighth divine psyche into them.

  “Forget it, I’m too stupid to understand [Daoless Heaven]!”

  Shi Yinji suddenly jumped up and shouted before she caught a glimpse of the ball Zhong Yue held in his hand, “Darling, this spirit ball in your hand looks like Wei Shen Six Paths World!”

  “Wei Shen Six Paths World?”

  Zhong Yue was dumbfounded by this and he quickly examined the spirit ball in his hand, which indeed looked exactly like Wei Shen Six Paths World.

  Without a second thought, he looked towards the other spirit balls with an uncertain heart, Could they all be the Six Paths Worlds? No, they are still there exactly as they should, these spirit balls can’t definitely be the Six Paths Worlds! Why is Dao Venerate Fu Min viewing them so seriously? There must be something special about them. How are they related to the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds?

  As he thought, he arranged the spirit balls accordingly to the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds in an attempt to figure out something but he found nothing still.

  Nothing happened to these spirit balls, they were neither weapons nor arts but more like decorations, why did Dao Venerate Fu Min want to pass them to him?

  “We are reaching the Ancestral Court!”

  Zhong Yue kept the spirit balls away and looked forward, where there lay an ancient galaxy.

  This is the Ancestral Court?

  He maneuvered the ancient ship between the asteroids and looked for the Ancestral Court; though he had not seen the Ancestral Court, Xin Huo had. Therefore, if they were near Ancestral Court, Xin Huo would say something.

  “There is no Ancestral Court here,” shook Xin Huo.

  Zhong Yue thought, According to the stars’ alignments, the Ancestral Court must be here, it can’t disappear just like that. Could it be that it is hidden in the dimension by someone?

  Slowly and steadily, Zhong Yue sailed in between the endless dimensions, this place was ancient enough, scarred by time but there was no sign of Ancestral Court in this ancient land.

  But from the astronomy…. What if someone altered the astronomy and the stars’ alignment?

  He frowned right away for if that happened, there would be no way to solve the puzzle anymore, unless he knew how to alter the astronomy.

  The star map he received was the map a few ten thousand years ago. From that map, he managed to recover the astronomy from a million years ago. From what he deciphered, the Ancestral Court was around here, but if someone had already altered the astronomy at an even earlier time, then the answer he received was wrong!

  “There must be a pattern, Xin Huo, do you remember the ancient universe’s star map in the Earth Order Era?”

  “Of course.”

  Xin Huo however, did not hold any high hope, “But can you pinpoint the time when the stars were altered? If you can’t, then there is no way you can calculate the Ancestral Court’s location during the Earth Order Era.”

  Zhong Yue blinked and said, “I can get a rough estimation. The change of the star happened about 10,000 years ago, if Fu Min Dao Venerate hid the seventh secret realm’s information here, he would definitely pick 10,000 years ago! At that time, he altered the ancient universe’s star system and hid the court away!”

  Hearing this, Xin Huo said nothing more and he launched a laser out from his eyes, printing the Earth Order Era’s ancient universe’s star arrangement in the air. After taking a close look, Zhong Yue closed his eyes as he went through the information again and again. Sometime later, countless stars emerged around him. That was a rendition of the ancient star system, formed purely from his psyche.

  Then, Zhong Yue visualized the current ancient universe’s stars, slowly aligning it with the previous version and merged them together.

  With the differences between the two astronomies, Zhong Yue noticed several abnormalities!

  The differences in them were not obvious but there were 7 main parts that had been altered!

  These seven parts altered by Dao Venerate Fu Min directly hindered the whole ancient universe’s operation. One string is pulled and the whole operation was affected, he is trying to hide the Ancestral Court’s
location by altering the stars! If that’s the case, the Ancestral Court must be in one of these seven places!

  Zhong Yue examined the seven places carefully and found out that they were not very distant from each other. Without any delay, he immediately sailed towards these places with utmost cautious. The ancient ship was hidden well within the dimension, after all, he was trying to search for the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court. And given how sensitive the Fuxi Celestial Race was, the enemies might be keeping close attention to these areas so he had to be careful.

  Not long later, he arrived at the first part and started looking around, only to find this part entirely destroyed, most likely by a monarch level war. Once he arrived at the second part, he once again finds this part entirely destroyed as well, also by war.

  One after another, he arrived at the remaining parts, which were all destroyed.

  If it was just one part, it would be fine but with seven of them all destroyed, there must be something going on!

  Seeing this, he couldn’t help but have a headache, this was probably not the doing of Dao Venerate Fu Min because he merely wanted to hide the Ancestral Court, not destroy it.

  Hence, Zhong Yue deducted that this was someone else’s doing!

  Who destroyed these places? Is the Ancestral Court alright?

  The ancient ship was activated again and ascended high into the air, giving Zhong Yue a view of the seven galaxies. Although there were all destroyed, there were still some continents that remained partially intact.

  Suddenly, something struck him as he discovered that there were still gods living in one of these continentals!

  Chapter 1033: Die |

  The ancient ship sailed right into the dimensions, slowly closing in on the continent. It did not take long until it reached somewhere close to these gods. Zhong Yue noticed the odd vibes coming from these gods, they were neither celestial nor demon but extremely sinister nonetheless, not too different to the innate evil god Zhu Xie’s!

  The innate evil god Zhu Xie’s power?

  A surprised Zhong Yue thought, there were not many of these gods, only 64 of them, but each and every one of them was incredibly powerful. The weakest among them were Deity Emperors and the strongest were Creators!

  In the hands of these gods was a jade bottle and evil aura leaked out from the bottles. The position they were standing at was also very odd as they were standing at the 64 corners of a massive altar.

  They had their power wrapped around their own respective bottle, which enlarged as time passed and a complicated ring appeared at the surface of these bottles, intensifying the evil aura and green ink flowed out, ascending into the air like tentacles and eroding the dimension!

  The 64 massive bottles floated in the air above the seemingly activated altar, creating ripples in the dimensions, in just a while, the dimensions were dyed green and filled with holes.

  “What are they doing?” Zhong Yue, Yi Wanjun and the others were all puzzled.

  As the dimensions got eroded layer by layer, and a massive stone tablet emerged from the empty dimensions, blocking off the green erosive ink.

  “It’s here!”

  An evil Creator shouted happily, “Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court is indeed hidden here! Quick, take a look at the tablet, what does it say?”

  “Its the Dark Age’s Dao language!”

  An evil Creator started reading, “Yu po tuo an nian yue po tu….”

  “Stop!” another evil Creator on the side interrupted right away.

  The evil Creator stopped chanting right away but his expression changed drastically, his body deflated with visible speed before rotting away, leaving only his bones. His hands were clasping at his face as it twisted horrendously before he exploded!

  The other gods were left terrified and one of them shouted, “The engravings on this tablet is the word “death” in the Dark Age’s Dao language! Whoever reads it will die… Oh no! This stone tablet is also a trap, do not …”

  The other gods were all left puzzled but before they could ask anything, this god’s body mummified and he turned to dust in an instant.

  “Elder senior martial brother….” shouted the other evil gods in fear.

  Though his body turned to dust, his incredible strength still gave him the chance for his Yuan Shen to struggle for a second to shout before disintegrating, “Don’t look at the stone tablet, those words are written by Dao Gods….”

  At the same time, the remaining 62 evil gods’ bodies started rotting like the previous two but no matter what they did, shrieking or running around, their body and Yuan Shen just rotted away right before the stunned Zhong Yue and his companions. In a blink of an eye, these 62 powerful evil gods turned into meat piles while the 64 jade bottles were still floating above the altar.

  The stone tablet on the other hand, remained standing there rock solid, immovable by anything.

  A chill crept down their spine for just the words on the stone tablet alone had killed 64 evil Emperors and Creators! Who created this tablet and wrote down the words?

  These evil gods definitely come from the sacred ground where Zhu Xie is born but why are they seeking here? How did they know that the Ancestral God was right here? Did they receive some hints or tips from the Innate Evil Monarch?

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped quickly; the Zhu Xie Planet was a planet where the evil of this universe gathered. Whoever had the power to enter or birth this planet were all-powerful and evil in nature.

  However, the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court was hidden extremely well by Dao Venerate Fu Min, there was no way these evil gods would know about its location, Zhong Yue was sure that someone must have tipped them off!

  Besides, given how powerful the jade bottles appeared, they were definitely not something these evil gods could forge. Hence, Zhong Yue deduced that this was all the doing of Innate Evil Monarch.

  And the fact that Innate Evil Monarch was targeting Ancestral Court was definitely not good news.

  Afraid of looking at the stone tablet, Zhong Yue took a quick glance towards the back of the stone tablet, where an ancient continent was briefly seen.

  His heart pumped quickly right away and Xin Huo’s voice sounded happily at the same time, “Zhong Yue, the Ancestral Court is just right there!”

  Hearing this, Zhong Yue suppressed his excitement in him and tried his very best to avoid the stone tablet, “Wanjun and Senior Martial Brother Yu are still learning the [Daoless Heaven]. So if I don’t look at the stone tablet, I can sail past the stone tablet safely.”

  Just as he was about to move, a dangerous sensation swept over him and he saw countless experts appearing in his view, all heading towards the direction of the stone tablet.

  Zhong Yue halted right away and that was when he heard a voice laughing, “Those idiots from the Zhu Xie Planet really did manage to locate the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court, ha! Our time wasted on waiting is worth it!”

  Demon races!

  Zhong Yue murmured, “Where are they from? They are even brave enough to trick Innate Evil Monarch’s men?”

  “They look like the men of the Innate Demon Monarch, the Deity King that controlled the innate demon Dao in the Dark Age.”

  Hundun Yu awoke from his cultivation and whispered, “I once heard from our old ancestor that there were three Deity Kings from the Dark Ages in the ancient universe. They rule the celestial, demon and evil Dao respectively. Given their innate nature, Innate Demon Monarch and Innate Celestial Monarch are born enemies. But the Innate Demon Monarch’s [Evil Tome], the Innate Celestial Monarch’s [Celestial Tome], and Innate Evil Monarch’s [Evil Tome] are undoubtedly three peak ultimate arts in their respective nature.”

  “Innate Demon Monarch and Innate Celestial Monarch? The animosity between the two races exists because of them?”

  Zhong Yue turned around and asked, “Senior Martial Brother Yu, how is your cultivation on the [Daoless Heaven]?”

  “Nothing, I couldn’t learn
anything at all,” replied Hundun Yu with a head shaking.

  As these demon races appeared, another batch of celestials appeared, all of whom were under the lead of an Imperial Emperor. The two forces immediately raised their guards towards each other with extreme hostility.

  “Mo Yuanshu!”

  “Shen Qiushan!”

  The two Imperial Emperors angrily glared towards one another. It was clearly not their first time crossing paths.

  Suddenly, Shen Qiushan coldly suggested, “Today, the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court emerge, there is no need for us to shed blood right here, let us decide the winner right in the Ancestral Court!”

  “Good!” shouted Mo Yuanshu with a wide smile on his face.

  Then, the two Imperial Emperors walked away from one another towards the stone tablet and their respective force walked behind them.

  “Do not look at the stone tablet!”

  “No one is to look at the tablet!”

  Shouted the two Imperial Emperors.

  As the two forces passed by, the dimension shook again as a new force emerged. This force was one with no weakling and the weakest of them were in the Deity Emperor level. These guys were all wrapped in burning saint fire, but unlike the Sui Sovereign Yanzi Clan’s fire, this fire appeared to be much more ancient.

  But there was a three-headed celestial being that entirely stood out with a different appearance and Zhong Yue frowned upon realizing who this was, Why is Feng Wuji here?

  This celestial being was Feng Wuji, the man that Zhong Yue swore to kill.

  “Brother Mingshan, so this is the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court?” asked Feng Wuji towards another young True Deity.

  This young True Deity whose true body was having a bird’s head and phoenix’s feathers nodded, “The three great Deity Kings were all looking for the Ancestral Court for a very long time, but little did they know that the Zi Wei Galaxy was also paying close attention to the Ancestral Court. After all, this is a very important place.”

  The one in charge was a female Imperial Emperor also with bird’s head and phoenix’s feathers, she said, “Mister Wuji, you are the key to acquiring the treasures within the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court. This place is not just the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court but also the ancient Yanzi Clan’s. The bloodline of both races are very much similar and with the Fuxi Celestial Race’s bloodline flowing in you, we will be depending on you!”
