This was an enormous manor that combined gardens, palaces, dao rites, and other things. It could be considered grand and majestic, but after entering, it was overgrown with weeds, a scene of desolation. The smell of blood wafted from within the manor.
There were formations on the outside, but there were no killing formations on the paths inside, allowing passage. Ancient trees covered the sun, the courtyard long overgrown with all kinds of vines and weeds.
Ye Fan's heart pounded, feeling a familiar aura.
Fluttering sounds rang out, several wild chickens scuttling, flapping their wings as they fled from the grass nest. Not far away, a wild rabbit even jumped up, running madly.
In disrepair, this so-called city lord manor had not been inhabited for who knew how many years. If not for the foundation and beams being built according to ancient diagrams, it would have long since decayed.
Up ahead, the smell of blood wafted over, growing thicker and thicker. At the same time, the blood in Ye Fan's body was burning, gradually boiling.
"This place is …" He knew what this place was, feeling sorrow for the predecessors.
In the depths of the manor was an ancient forest. Many vines and giant trees submerged the buildings, even crushing them. Meanwhile, there was a vast area where not a single blade of grass grew.
This was a blinding red, forming puddles, not just one, speckled like stars. Every puddle wasn't large, only a few meters in size, but together, they were several hundred zhang.
Blood!
It was a pool of blood that was scattered across this vast land. Apart from this, there was no vegetation, it was completely bare. The smell of blood assailed the nostrils, smelling it as soon as he entered the manor.
The sacred blood in Ye Fan's body surged, responding to these puddles of blood. They were of the same bloodline, the same source. This was a resonance and call that transcended time and space.
Ye Fan couldn't tell whether he was happy, angry, sad, or happy, watching silently.
Sacred body's blood!
Just like his, it possessed a type of undying and powerful characteristics. Only, what was unexpected was that after the ancient era, it still hadn't dried up.
Inside the pit, there was a bright red expanse, a small portion of the puddles flashing with faint golden multicolored light, that was the divine power that still hadn't dissipated.
It had to be said that the sacred body's bloodline was tyrannical. Even after more than a hundred thousand years, the blood still hadn't solidified, there was still an undying power that hadn't scattered.
"This isn't a normal holy body. Back then, it was matchless and unmatched, but it is a pity that it was intercepted and killed here." The envoy said.
On this ancient starry sky path, there were some battles that would forever be remembered, some physiques that would attract attention, and some ancient stars that were incomparably resplendent.
According to the guide, this saint body of the human race was extremely powerful, so the trials on the ancient road were useless to him. He just wanted to go to the ultimate test to take a look.
However, in that era, there was also a type of physique that was peerless and tyrannical. When it heard that he was rushing over, it specially returned from the depths of the starry sky ancient path and carried out a world-shaking battle. In the end, it killed the human race's divine physique.
That battle caused heaven and earth to collapse and the star paths to break. Countless stars in the cosmos were shattered, and millions of Dharma bodies were shattered. This blood fell from the outer realms.
One could imagine just how terrifying that world shocking battle was. It was a battle rarely seen since ancient times, one that was recorded in the history of deities.
Back then, the entire ancient path went crazy because of this. It was unknown just how many people hurried over, all for the sake of witnessing this battle. Many cultivators were affected by the shockwaves of the battle, dying in the cosmos.
The end of that battle had far-reaching effects. Even after many years had passed, it still hadn't calmed down. It was known as one of the most terrifying divine battles on the ancient path.
Even after so many years, the manor was still sealed, not allowing outsiders to approach in order to preserve the blood here. This was enough to explain everything.
Being evaluated as a divine battle and recorded in the ancient texts was a type of highest evaluation. One had to know that from ancient times until now, many Great Sage and even the Quasi-emperor's most glorious battle didn't have the qualifications to be evaluated.
A cool breeze brushed past, and the fallen leaves fluttered about. The garden was extremely peaceful, giving people a solemn and mournful feeling.
Ye Fan couldn't move. He had once heard from the Odd Warrior Manor's old master that there were four or five human race's divine physiques that stepped onto the ancient path in different eras. Some of them had their blood scattered in outer space, their bones buried in foreign lands.
And these people, when they were in Big Dipper, all of them had great accomplishments, suppressing the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers. They had world-shocking achievements, but who would have thought that they would fall like this?
"Quelling chaos, suppressing heaven and earth, the extreme dao was glorious. But in the end, they died in battle in outer space, their bones buried in foreign lands … "Ye Fan found this a bit hard to accept.
These bloodstains, these desolate scenes, it was hard for him to accept. The human race's divine physiques that were once extremely powerful were killed just like that. It made one feel grief.
If they were extremely vicious and evil, then that was one thing. They clearly had great achievements and stepped onto the starry sky ancient path, yet they ended up like this.
The pool of blood was still there, pouring out the sorrow of a lifetime.
There was no right or wrong on the ancient path. The emperor path contended for supremacy, and the strong won. It was merciless and cruel.
"That opponent was truly extremely powerful, standing at the peak of humanity. He also had a type of unrivalled physique, and since ancient times, he has been the mortal enemy of the divine physiques. Several generations of them met one after another, and the great battle shook the heavens and earth, causing the universe to tremble," said the guide.
Ye Fan was speechless. Stepping onto this path was equivalent to abandoning him. Anyone should have been mentally prepared for this type of fate. The strong advanced, and the losers perished.
He silently paid his respects and walked around the pool of blood. He felt a type of regret and desolation from the Desolate Era. Who would be willing to accept this type of ending?
There were very few golden threads in the blood. The guide clearly said that some were extracted by later generations and used to refine medicine. Otherwise, the divinity would also return to heaven and earth.
The blood of the divine physiques was extremely strange. At first, it would slowly change from scarlet to golden, and when it finally reached the consummate realm, the golden color would slowly fade away, returning to scarlet.
"Senior, rest in peace!" Ye Fan calmly said.
He gazed into the depths of the cosmos, as if he wanted to see through the ancient path. It was because on the path ahead, there was an old enemy!
In this era, that type of physique appeared again. He would also encounter it, and it was just like the divine physique from more than a hundred thousand years ago. He was going to face the greatest enemy of his life!
This was like a reincarnation, a clash of fate. After so many years, when the divine physique rose up, another type of physique arrived just as scheduled, arriving in the depths of the starry sky ancient path.
"The two physiques have fought several times. What are the results like?" Ye Fan asked.
After so many years in the starry sky, he naturally paid attention to the legends of the old enemy. He had heard a few things from the guide envoys. However, he definitely didn't know as much as the guide from the fiftieth city.
"There are accurate records. There were four times in total, and they were all recorded in the history of the divine wars. The human race's divine physique won one of the most powerful battles."
Three losses and one victory. This kind of battle record made Ye Fan tremble. Was the old enemy actually this terrifying? It was powerful to a boundless realm. It was truly hard to believe.
The guide continued, "There is another saying that the divine physique had another victory, but no one saw it with their own eyes. They only saw traces of it in a destroyed star domain, and it couldn't be recorded in the history of the divine wars."
"His corpse … is it gone?" Ye Fan asked. He felt a bit sad. The powerful and glorious human race's divine physique actually had such a miserable old age.
"That battle caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to crack. Many stars fell, let alone a flesh body …" The guide sighed.
Many spectators were sucked in, and in the end, they turned into cosmic dust, leaving behind a bloody mist. The divine physique was defeated and suffered heavy injuries. His supposedly indestructible physique was smashed into pieces.
After the battle, the divine blood became the target of all parties. Not even a drop was left. For cultivators, this was a great medicine.
After the battle, some people returned part of the body, but the divine essence had been extracted. The broken body was buried on an ancient star.
"Later on, that star underwent some strange changes. It was puzzling. That half of the broken body unexpectedly took control of the dao. Now, there is only an empty grave there."
This ancient star belonged to the human race's 50th pass.
There would be a life star every ten passes. It was like a dam that blocked a river, and many cultivators would stop there. The human race's 50th holy city was a bit special. It had two life stars, just like a gemini.
The ancient star with the divine physique buried was very close to the human race's 50th holy city. It was the dimmer of the gemini stars.
"Half of the body turned into the dao, and it actually caused the heaven and earth there to change. The entire ancient star's spiritual energy sharply decreased, and the dao is too high. It's even more unsuitable for cultivation."
Ye Fan naturally had to go take a look after hearing about the divine physique's burial place. He went alone, not bringing Longma, the Golden Lion, and the others.
The dimmer of the gemini stars could be seen in the distance. It revolved around a sun star, and it wasn't too far away. It was just ahead.
The human race's 50th holy city was very prosperous and suitable for cultivation. Many cultivators stayed here to comprehend the heavenly dao and cultivate bitterly every day.
Ye Fan didn't waste any time. He left this place and stepped into the realm gate. Soon, he descended on a planet that wasn't too big.
The sky was dusky with leaden clouds floating by. They covered the sun and made people feel a bit depressed.
The vegetation on the ground was sparse, and it was difficult to see the lush primitive mountain forests. Large areas were bare and lacked green vegetation.
Strands of dao patterns appeared beneath Ye Fan's feet. The Travel Formula operated, and the stars moved and the mountains and rivers flowed in reverse. He followed the terrain map provided by the envoy and headed towards an ancient land.
The mountains here were majestic and barren. There were many rivers that had long been cut off for who knew how many tens of thousands of years.
There was an ancient tomb in the depths of this region. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to have completely scattered because of it. This place was bleak and desolate, and not even weeds could grow here.
The dark red great earth seemed to have been dyed in blood. After endless years, there was only a desolate silence left here. It was seriously lacking in life force.
Was this the divine physique's tomb? Ye Fan walked forward step by step. It was difficult to understand what he was feeling inside. The unmatched divine physique was actually defeated. Moreover, his body was split into pieces, and his bones were buried in a foreign land.
Ever since Ye Fan began his cultivation, he had never been defeated in a battle against someone at the same level. Even though he had encountered many dangers along the way and narrowly escaped death, none of them were given to him by someone at the same level.
The ancestor's divine physique was unmatched in the Big Dipper, yet it was shed blood here. This left him absent-minded and a bit difficult to accept.
"When I fight him in the future, what will happen?"
The ancient tomb was extremely large, around a zhang tall. A divine physique was sleeping here. The dark red earth buried him.
"Someone is offering sacrifices to his grave."
Ye Fan was moved. Even after so many years had passed, the ancient tomb still hadn't disappeared. There was definitely someone protecting it. Moreover, there were withered flowers on the ground that should have been placed recently.
"Why did someone come to offer sacrifices again?"
"If they want to pay their respects, they should go to the other ancient star of the gemini star to pay their respects to the victor. Why are there always people who come to pay their respects to the loser?"
In the distance, someone said softly. Two pairs of ice-cold eyes looked over, full of hostility.
