These corpses were at least at the Dao Realm. They exuded an immortal aura. Even if they had been dead for countless years, their corpses would not decay.
From time to time, one could even see the corpses of God Kings floating on the river. They exuded extreme majesty and dominated a section of the river. Even after death, these gods were still clearly differentiated.
Among these corpses, there were experts from the Tian Clan, as well as experts from other races. Ye Xiwen even saw the corpses of some extremely ancient races. These ancient races no longer existed in this world, and there were only some records of them in some ancient pictures and diagrams.
Some of them had their spines broken during the second War of Resistance against the Heavens. Some of them had already been confirmed to be extinct. They could no longer be found in the Myriad Heavens.
Those two Heaven Defying Battles were so tragic that nothing could be compared to it since the ancient times. The Dragon Island and the Ancient Phoenix Realm, which had been very powerful since the ancient times, were directly beaten and severely injured. There were even many weaker races that had vanished into thin air and couldn't be found anymore.
"This is indeed a battlefield for the War of Resistance against the Heavens!" Ye Xiwen said slowly. "Some of the races that have disappeared can be found here!"
The two War of Resistance against the Heavens had burned the entire Myriad Heavens. No one could hide from it. It was possible that there was an unknown battlefield in any place.
Although these corpses were still exuding dazzling golden light, as majestic and inviolable as when they were alive, these golden lights were wrapped in a more intense death aura.
Just the death aura of a random god was comparable to the death aura condensed from the death aura of billions of people. It made people feel as if they had entered the Underworld. It was another world.
"It's too tragic!" The Lord of Flames could not help but say. Just from these floating corpses, it was not difficult for him to imagine how tragic the two wars were. Existences at his level might not be able to survive until the end. This was because top experts like him would definitely be the first target of the other side. On the other hand, the allied forces of the various races would also want to kill the experts of the celestial race at the first opportunity to pave the way for future wars.
For an expert like him, the casualty rate was even higher than that of an ordinary person.
"Is this the Styx River? It feels like it leads to the endless Underworld! " Ye Xiwen's interest was piqued. The pursuit of life and death was also a latent interest of his. He certainly wouldn't put his main energy into this, but how could he give up the opportunity when it was right in front of him?
He had a feeling that if he could see through the mysteries between life and death, he might be able to discover the greatest mystery between heaven and earth, an unprecedented secret.
"Let's go and take a look!" Ye Xiwen said. He took the lead and went against the current. The Lord of Flames was only stunned for a moment before it immediately chased after him.
The two of them traveled for ten days before finally arriving at the source of the river. It was an extremely deep pool. The pitch-black water itself was formed by the Death Qi, and there was a terrifying power in it.
Above this deep pool of water, there was a spatial rift. Waterfalls continuously poured down three thousand feet into the pool of water.
"What's inside that crack?" Ye Xiwen wanted to explore it. He simply tore open the spatial rift and wanted to pass through it. However, a supreme majesty instantly suppressed him, not giving Ye Xiwen a chance to get close.
It wasn't that Ye Xiwen didn't have the ability to tear it open directly. However, he felt that he might encounter an unexpected situation. There might be an unknown power appearing. Although Ye Xiwen was bold, he trusted his intuition more.
Moreover, a great battle was imminent. This wasn't the best opportunity.
"So the corpses weren't washed out from this place!" The Lord of Flames used his divine sense to scan the pool and found that there weren't any corpses piled up in it.
This was even more strange.
Originally, the two of them thought that the source of the river might be a battlefield within a battlefield. There might be many corpses of various races piled up. However, they were rather disappointed. This wasn't the case at all.
"It seems that this isn't the problem with the river. Could these corpses be man-made?" Ye Xiwen was a little stunned. "However, if they did this, what's their purpose?"
Even Ye Xiwen didn't dare to insist that it was the work of the heavenly race. There were too many mysterious things in this battlefield. In the past few days, Ye Xiwen had encountered some extremely terrifying existences that attacked inexplicably. It was only because he was strong enough. If it was an ordinary Peak Divine King who entered such a place, he would also have a grudge.
Those battles were earth-shattering. He could only fight them alone. The Lord of Flames couldn't help much.
He had experienced many battles. However, it was a pity that he didn't gain much. Now that he thought about the corpses floating on the river, there was no wealth left on them. It seemed as if they had been stripped clean. It seemed more like it was man-made rather than natural.
However, before he could continue thinking, there was a commotion in the Tianyuan Mirror. It turned out that Ye Qianqian had woken up.
A ray of light flashed. Ye Qianqian had already appeared in front of Ye Xiwen.
She was clad in white clothes, and her beautiful face had a bit of coldness to it. However, a smile appeared on her face when she saw Ye Xiwen.
"You're finally awake!"
"Yes!"
It was just a simple conversation. However, it contained thousands of words. Everything was enough.
Ye Xiwen gently grabbed Ye Qianqian's soft and warm hands. The two of them had experienced life and death together. There was no need for words. Moreover, Ye Qianqian wasn't a talkative person.
"This is?" The Lord of Flames was a little stunned. Why did this person suddenly appear?
Ye Qianqian had accepted the inheritance of the Death Lord a long time ago. Although the Lord of Flames knew of the existence of such a person, he had never seen her before.
"This is my wife, Ye Qianqian!" Ye Xiwen smiled and introduced. "Qianqian, this is my senior brother, the Lord of Flames. He usually takes care of me. Senior brother has contributed a lot for me to be where I am today!"
He was very grateful to the Flame Lord. The Flame Lord had helped him many times ever since he had entered the Hidden Valley. It wouldn't be a joke if he didn't have the Flame Lord. His development would've been slowed down by thousands of years if he didn't have the Flame Lord.
Therefore, even though his current strength had surpassed the Lord of Flames, he was still willing to call him senior brother. This had nothing to do with strength. In fact, it was out of gratitude.
"Greetings, senior brother!" Ye Qianqian followed Ye Xiwen and called him senior brother. She saluted gracefully and gracefully.
Ye Qianqian was born in a rich family. Naturally, she would not forget her etiquette in this aspect.
"Good, good. Greetings, sister-in-law!" The Lord of Flames was grinning from ear to ear. Although he knew about Hua Menghan, he didn't take it seriously. With Ye Xiwen's current status and power, it was a simple matter for him to have many wives and concubines.
It wasn't strange at all. In fact, it was common for powerful female cultivators to have thousands of male pets. It wasn't strange at all. This was a world where the strong were respected. It didn't matter whether one was male or female. The important thing was the strong.
However, he and Ye Xiwen were sincere friends. There was no scheming between them. Compared to the other kings of the Hidden Valley, they were much more harmonious. Their relationship was naturally incomparable.
"But has sister-in-law always been around?" The Lord of Flames asked the doubt in his heart.
Ye Xiwen explained a little about Ye Qianqian's matter to him. He also explained a little about what had happened before and after. He also explained it to Ye Qianqian. She had been sleeping for most of these years. So, she didn't know what had happened after that.
After hearing that Ye Xiwen had gone through hardships and dangers for her, and even entered the Kurfürst Road, Ye Qianqian's gaze became gentler. Who wouldn't want to marry such an ideal husband?
"It's been hard on you all these years!" Ye Qianqian said.
"It's nothing. It's good that you're fine!" Ye Xiwen said. "So what if I go to the Nine Heavens or the Nine Hells!"
Ye Qianqian didn't say much. She just held Ye Xiwen's palm tightly. That wide palm represented peace of mind.
"So there were so many twists and turns. However, sister-in-law has inherited the heritage of the Lord of Death. Your future is limitless. Back then, the Lord of Death was extremely ferocious. In terms of strength, he was the best of his generation. Even the Ten Great Divine Kings back then weren't his match!" The Lord of Flames said congratulatively.
He knew that Ye Xiwen's two wives weren't ordinary people. Ye Qianqian had inherited the orthodoxy of the Death Lord, and Hua Menghan had inherited the bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix. So, her future achievements would be extraordinary. So, they were more than enough to be a good match for Ye Xiwen.
However, he did not know of Dawn's existence. To Ye Xiwen, Dawn was another piece of paradise that gave him peace of mind.
Ye Xiwen noticed that Ye Qianqian had just woken up. She was already at the peak of the Divine Master Realm. She was just half a step away from being conferred the title of King. From the looks of it, she had absorbed most of the Lord of Death's heritage and remnant powers!
After asking, it was indeed so.
"Although I have absorbed the Lord of Death's heritage and powers, she has been dead for a long time. Even if there are remnants of her powers in the various worlds, it isn't enough for me to recover to her peak!" Ye Qianqian said as she shook her head.
Even so, Ye Qianqian's speed could be said to be extremely fast among her peers. She was far ahead of the rest.
"I originally wanted to sleep for a period of time, but I sensed the rich power of death here. To others, this is no different from a land of death. But to me, this is indeed a sacred land for cultivation. I wish to stay here and absorb the power of death to cultivate!" As Ye Qianqian spoke, she looked at Ye Xiwen. There was a pleading look in her eyes. Now, she would consider Ye Xiwen's opinion and not act on her own like she did in the past.
"This …" Ye Xiwen felt a headache coming on. If it were any other time, he would naturally agree to it. However, he would still stay here to protect Ye Qianqian. This place was just too dangerous. He was completely worried.
