Chi!
Ripples appeared in the air as a door instantly opened. Ye Xuan and the Human Dao Master fell out and heavily fell towards the valley below.
Luckily, Ye Xuan steadied himself and caught the Human Dao Master. Then, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the forest.
"How are you?"
Beside a stream in the bamboo forest in the valley.
The Death Qi of the Human Dao Master permeated the air. Her vitality was completely gone. Ye Xuan looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression.
"Cause and effect, life and death. All of this is destined by fate."
The Human Dao Master was still as graceful as ever. Her beautiful face was still smiling. However, her smile was very haggard and contained indescribable sorrow.
"I'm sorry. I've tried my best."
Ye Xuan didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only say this.
"It's not your fault. I underestimated the forbidden calamity too much. Instead, I implicated you and caused a huge problem." The Human Dao Master sat down cross-legged.
"Are you … going to Dao Assimilate?"
At this moment, Ye Xuan couldn't sense any vitality from the Human Dao Master. He could even tell that this woman was about to Dao Assimilate. Soon, she would no longer exist in this world.
The Heavenly Heart of Chaos was stripped away and her cultivation was completely exhausted. In order to bring him away from the forbidden figure, she even destroyed the Great Dao of Karma that she cultivated her entire life.
Right now, the Human Dao Master was already at the end of her life. If she didn't destroy her Great Dao of Karma, she would at most fall to the half-step Omnipotent Realm. She wouldn't have to lose her life.
"Do you still remember this Hundred Flower Valley?"
The Human Dao Master didn't answer his question. She looked at the flowers in the valley in a daze. There was a hint of reminiscence in her eyes. She said bitterly, "You're not him. Naturally, you don't remember this place. But it's fine. It's enough that I can return here before I die."
"How can I save you?" Ye Xuan asked softly.
"My vitality is gone. How can you save me? Just bury me in this valley. That's enough." The Human Dao Master said softly.
"However, before I Dao Assimilate, I hope you can promise me two things. Then, I can die in peace." The Human Dao Master said calmly.
"Speak." Ye Xuan said.
Weng!
A scripture appeared. A strand of karma power swirled around the scripture and gently landed in Ye Xuan's hand.
"I have a disciple who has been frozen by me at the peak of the Snow-Melting Mountain. I hope that you can wake her up from her slumber and personally pass my inheritance to her."
"I know that you've used your Outer-body Incarnation to cultivate the Boundless Secular Technique. However, the Boundless Secular Technique you've obtained isn't complete. The true essence is in this scripture. You can cultivate it on your own before you hand it over to her," the Human Dao Master said solemnly.
"Alright."
Ye Xuan was not pretentious. He solemnly put away the scripture.
"The second thing is that my Chaos Heavenly Core has been stripped away. The position of the Fifth Epoch's All-Ancient Strongest Assembly is empty. I hope that you can find the Chaos Heavenly Core again and choose someone you acknowledge to inherit my position." The Human Dao Master said.
"This …?"
Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback. He did not know whether he should agree or not.
"Anyone who cultivates the Boundless Secular Technique is qualified to inherit my Chaos Heavenly Core. You can sense the existence of the Chaos Heavenly Core with your karma power. I'll leave this matter to you."
The Human Dao Master paused for a moment as if he was considering something. After a few breaths of time, he looked at Ye Xuan again and said, "As for my disciple, her temperament is too unyielding. Although her talent is unparalleled, she's too impulsive. If she's not suitable to inherit my position, you'll have to find someone else you acknowledge."
"Alright, I promise you." Ye Xuan nodded slowly.
After receiving Ye Xuan's promise, the Human Dao Master smiled faintly. However, there was still a trace of sadness in his eyes that did not dissipate.
"Little Brother Ye, although it's the Tenth Epoch now, you don't have much time left. Not only are you being targeted by the All-Ancient Strongest, you're also being controlled by the Taboo Character. You can only continue to strengthen yourself. This is your only way out."
"It's a pity that I've lost all my cultivation. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to help you. However, I believe that even without my help, you can definitely become the All-Ancient Strongest."
"Now, the Tenth Epoch is almost half over. Anyone with ambition is scheming to seize the seat of the All-Ancient Strongest in the next Epoch."
"Among these people, there is no lack of peerless geniuses and heaven-defying monsters. There are also many unparalleled geniuses who have been hidden for one or two Epochs."
"If you can become the All-Ancient Strongest in the next Epoch, with the 12 Heavenly Gates you've opened, you should not fear the Taboo Character."
The Human Dao Master said a lot. She was constantly reminding Ye Xuan about things he should pay attention to.
"Also, there's one last thing you must remember. This is also a matter of great importance to you."
The Human Dao Master's aura became weaker and weaker, and her voice became softer and softer. Finally, she regained her spirit and looked at Ye Xuan with an extremely solemn expression.
"The fact that you can cultivate the Calamity Transcender Technique and the Demonic Heaven Devouring Art so quickly is definitely related to these two devouring secret techniques."
"However, everything has two sides. Although these two devouring secret techniques are extremely overbearing, they also have great hidden dangers. Perhaps you can't see them normally, but when you're about to reach the Dao, the resentment of the living beings you devour will erupt and cause a backlash. Therefore, you must be prepared early. Before you become the All-Ancient Strongest, you must eliminate this hidden danger."
"What should I do?"
Regarding his cultivation, Ye Xuan was very serious.
"Among the ten strongest forces, only my karma power can help you. As long as you can cultivate the Boundless Secular Technique to Great Accomplishment, you will be able to cut off the resentment of the living beings you devour. This is also the reason why I gave you the complete Boundless Secular Technique."
"Karma engenders retribution. As long as you can condense the Great Dao of Karma, you will be able to cut off the karma of the resentment. You must remember this." The Human Dao Master said her last words.
At this time.
The aura of death around the Human Dao Master grew thicker and thicker. There was no sign of life left around her. Her eyes began to glaze over. It was obvious that she had reached the end of her life.
"Why are you so good to me?" Ye Xuan asked with mixed feelings.
"Because it was the happiest time of my life!"
The Human Dao Master smiled faintly. Her eyes slowly closed. She had completely lost all signs of life. She had truly fallen between heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth were silent. Not a sound could be heard.
The Human Dao Master was dead. Only her smile remained on her face. Ye Xuan stared blankly at the dead woman. He did not speak for a long time.
The sun rose and the moon set. The stars moved.
Ye Xuan was like an ancient boulder. His eyes were dull and still. It was only when the sun rose three days later that he finally moved.
He personally buried the Human Dao Master in the yellow earth and erected a tombstone for her. He looked at the tombstone in front of him. A self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
So what if she was the All-Ancient Strongest?
So what if she was the All-Ancient Strongest?
In the end, she turned into a pile of yellow earth and disappeared forever from the chaotic universe.
At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly realized something.
Be it the All-Ancient Strongest or the so-called forbidden characters, as long as you were in the chaotic universe, you were nothing more than an ant.
If the heavens wanted you dead, you had no choice but to die.
If the heavens wanted you dead, you had no choice but to die.
The so-called act of defying the heavens and going against the will of chaos was the path of death for the Human Dao Master.
If she had not attracted the forbidden tribulation, if she had been content with being the All-Ancient Strongest, she would not have fallen.
"We cultivators should defy the heavens. However, this path is too difficult. We have to fight against the heavens, against the earth, and against people."
"Endless joy, endless joy. Wonderful, wonderful!"
Ye Xuan threw his head back and laughed. However, his back seemed sad and lonely. The death of the Human Dao Master had truly touched him.
A pile of yellow earth had buried the All-Ancient Strongest. Looking at the chaotic universe, who would believe that the All-Ancient Strongest would die?
