The blood-colored dusk was bewitching yet poignant.
A thin layer of blood-like sunset enveloped Xiao Chen's body. His body was dyed bright red. He was motionless as he quietly sat cross-legged on the cold and hard ground.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that his body had been torn to pieces. At this moment, he was merely using his divine power to forcefully put them back together. However, it was very difficult for those wounds to truly heal. The bloody cracks were still there, and blood was still flowing out.
This was the frightening consequence of forcefully activating the divine diagram. He was on the verge of self-destruction. Both his body and soul suffered unimaginable damage.
Moreover, his body was swept by Ge Qian's stone palm. An expert of that level had unimaginably extraordinary methods. Xiao Chen narrowly escaped death. Although he did not die on the spot, the terrifying injuries still seriously troubled him.
At this moment, even if he used all of his methods, it was still difficult for him to truly expel the destructive divine power in his flesh. The destructive power left by the demonic human was still corroding his flesh and soul.
Xiao Chen was fighting against death. The Heavenly Sound of the Eight Origin Sounds reverberated in the sky. He wanted to use the power of life to activate his potential and preserve his life.
However, he was unable to use the power of life of the Heavenly Sound due to his severe injuries. Not only did his injuries not improve, they even showed signs of worsening.
His life force felt exhausted. His soul weakened. Xiao Chen's mind was shaken. Could it be that he was going to disappear from this world?
"Bang …"
At this moment, he was ready to risk everything. He once again took the risk to condense the divine diagram. The misty fog circulated and the divine diagram slowly appeared.
"Rumble …"
Amidst the terrifying tremors, thunderous sounds came from Xiao Chen's body. He almost fell to the ground. His torn body became even more severe. It was about to split up again!
Xiao Chen was risking his life to heal his wounded body. However, he was gambling with his life. He gathered the remaining divine power and suddenly shook his body. He used his body to mend the diagram and fused with the hazy formation diagram.
His body immediately split into pieces. Bright red blood sprinkled down. The scene was so cruel that no one dared to look at it. Although his body was split into several parts, every part fused with the formation diagram and formed a semi-complete divine diagram.
Divine splendor circulated, and the battle sword clanged. The formation diagram was dyed red by the blood, and it let out waves of faint humming sounds.
Afterwards, streaks of colourful light shone out. Exuberant life force surged out, and at the same time, a terrifying destructive power was expelled.
At this moment, the formation did not enter a state of slaughter. The life potential contained in it was awakening. It treated Xiao Chen as a part of its main body and was helping him to recover from his injuries. It forced out the destructive power left behind by the Human-Demon Spear.
"Bang … …"
At the same time, the other half of the Stone Bone in Xiao Chen's body was startled. Two beams of light shot out from its hollow eyes and engulfed the rest of the destructive divine power left behind by the Human Demon Ge Gan.
The formation diagram continued to revolve. It was extremely slow, giving off a heavy, powerful, and solid feeling. A hazy mist enveloped this place.
Slowly, the divine diagram separated from Xiao Chen. Those pieces of flesh reassembled, but the divine diagram did not withdraw, it continued to revolve around him slowly.
Xiao Chen was like a pine tree rooted in the rock, quiet and motionless. The divine origin in his body surged, and his flesh and blood were reforged. He was slowly recovering his vitality.
The bloody sun set in the west, disappearing from the horizon. A curtain of darkness fell, and the world became pitch-black.
The chilly wind swept across the earth, emitting a mournful whistling sound.
At this moment, it was as if a giant was pushing a chariot, emitting a rumbling sound as it rolled across the vast earth.
"Clang, clang … …"
Outside the divine diagram, the battle sword vibrated and shot out dazzling rays of light.
The rumbling sound was getting closer and closer. A black gale swept over like a flood. It was as if tens of thousands of black dragons were soaring, shaking the heaven and earth.
This aura made people's hair stand on end. Xiao Chen immediately woke up from his silent state. The black gale occupied the entire horizon, as if the vast sea was crashing.
Xiao Chen quickly merged with the divine diagram, because he felt his heart palpitate. That was a black berserk aura that could shock even Ancestor God level experts.
As soon as he merged with the divine diagram, the black gale rushed over. The formation diagram buzzed and trembled violently. The black whirlwind could really destroy everything in the world. When it rushed over, Xiao Chen deeply felt the destructive aura contained within.
If not for the divine diagram, he felt that his body would have been torn apart! The gale seemed to be able to destroy everything in its way, including the Ancestor Gods!
Xiao Chen saw a terrifying scene. Amidst the black gale, the Ancestral God's weapons were attacking. Anything that stood in their way would become their target.
The divine diagram was naturally no exception. It was unceasingly hacked by the broken Ancestor God weapons, emitting a series of clanging sounds.
"That is …"
Xiao Chen was incomparably shocked. In the end, he actually saw a black giant running in the gale. It seemed like he did not have any consciousness and was completely driven by instinct. The dozen or so battle swords smashed everything on the ground.
That was a black giant formed by the gale. It was condensed from the essence of destructive power. It ran and roared.
When the black giant and the gale went far away, Xiao Chen appeared. He had a lot of questions. What kind of place was this? He seemed to have arrived at a wasteland.
There was no vitality in this land, only desolation and vicissitudes. When midnight arrived, three blood moons rushed out from the dark clouds at almost the same time. They sprinkled down a ghastly scarlet light, making this ice-cold land even more sinister.
And it was also at this time that something even more terrifying happened. In the center of the ice-cold land, as the blood moons appeared, a mournful lament resounded. At the same time, a mysterious force instantly attacked the entire land.
Xiao Chen immediately had an extremely bad feeling. His soul nearly left his body, and his Spiritual Sense nearly shattered.
After that, the impact instantly disappeared like a ripple. Then, a strange force pulled Xiao Chen forward continuously. He could not resist it at all.
It was like a ferocious beast from the Great Desolate Eon was about to feast. All the weak creatures in the surroundings bowed and advanced in that direction.
This was a very bad sign!
There was no power in this land that could resist this kind of summoning. He could only move forward and not retreat.
Although Xiao Chen could control the Divine Diagram, he had just experienced a great battle and was heavily injured. If he forcefully shook the Divine Diagram again, he might really self-destruct.
He had no choice but to move forward.
In the center of the land in front of him, the mournful lament directly reached his heart. It was like a demonic sound penetrating into his brain. It was unbearable, and his body felt like it was about to break apart.
Two Heavenly Marks were summoned and blocked in front of Xiao Chen. They dispersed the sound waves that were rushing at him.
Closer, finally closer! Just in front of him, a scarlet light soared into the sky. There were indistinct figures in it like specters. The lament was coming from there. It was the scarlet light in front of him that was pulling Xiao Chen forward. The power contained there was terrifying, as if it was condensed from the destruction of billions of lives.
Xiao Chen advanced step by step. From here, he could already see that there seemed to be a majestic palace in the depths of the scarlet light. It was like a symbol of the world.
The lament was coming from the huge palace. It was even more terrifying. Ancestor God experts felt like their souls were about to collapse.
When he was one hundred and fifty meters away from the scarlet light, Xiao Chen shot out a beam of divine light into that scarlet world.
Without a sound, that beam of divine light dispersed and merged with the scarlet light.
This was a very terrifying scene. Even the power of an Ancestor God was swallowed up. What would happen if he went in with his physical body? The result was easy to imagine, and it made people tremble.
However, at this moment, that unstoppable force had already pulled Xiao Chen here. There was no way to retreat.
Left with no choice, Xiao Chen merged with the Divine Diagram again. The two merged into one and entered the scarlet light.
"Boom …"
There was a loud sound. Thousands of scarlet lights rushed over, trying to shatter the Divine Diagram. After an intense confrontation, the Divine Diagram slowly stabilized.
After a long time, the scarlet light rippled in the surroundings like water. In the end, it actually acknowledged the Divine Diagram and stopped attacking. It seemed to have sensed a trace of a similar aura.
Xiao Chen could already confirm that this scarlet light could obliterate an ordinary Ancestor God. If it wasn't because he had the Divine Diagram, he might have really died here.
However, even now, he still didn't know what kind of world this was. Why would there be such a strange place? All the living beings on this land could be summoned by this scarlet light, but they would be obliterated once they entered this place. Didn't that mean that there were no living beings in this world?
This was a deserted land worthy of its name.
The scarlet light couldn't obstruct one's vision. There were many ghost-like figures in the surroundings. They were like walking corpses, drifting here and there. Xiao Chen didn't collide with these figures.
He was attracted by an unfathomable mysterious summoning force. He kept moving forward. In the end, he actually had the posture of flying into a flame. His body was somewhat out of control, and he almost flew out of the Divine Diagram.
"Boom …"
When he arrived at the depths of the scarlet light, the heaven and earth shook. The majestic palace in front of him clearly appeared in front of him. The vast and unfathomable power was emitted from the palace.
At this moment, the Divine Diagram became hazy. It emitted rays of light on its own and connected with the huge palace in front of him. It immediately calmed down the mighty power that wanted to devour Xiao Chen.
The Divine Diagram and the huge palace seemed to be of the same origin. There was actually a trace of similar divine power fluctuation.
The huge palace was definitely not an ordinary place!
Xiao Chen could already feel that the power contained in this majestic huge carving was enough to destroy an Ancestor God. Anyone who stepped inside would most likely be obliterated!
This place seemed to be the center of the entire world.
Although the huge palace had calmed down, the mournful song inside did not stop. The gentle divine power fluctuation was still continuing.
"That is …"
At this moment, Xiao Chen simply didn't dare to believe the scene in front of him. Through the half-opened huge palace door, he saw shattered rocks floating in the air. It was extremely similar to the broken body of a stone man. Immediately after, a few petrified broken limbs floated past the huge door. Those were the real broken limbs of a stone man!
"What is this place?"
Xiao Chen revealed a grave expression.
What made him even more shocked was that after the broken limbs and rocks floated past, he saw two broken stone skulls slowly floating past the huge door.
"Stone skulls!"
Xiao Chen was extremely shocked!
It seemed like there were more than two stone men that were smashed into pieces in the huge palace!
The mournful song in the huge palace suddenly stopped. A few sorrowful and heroic voices resounded between heaven and earth.
"How could our world be a chaotic place? How could our people here be sinners? We are not willing … "
Divine radiance blossomed. The huge palace was like a sun, sprinkling down endless brilliance. But soon after, it quickly dimmed down. It was as if the extreme sublimation had ushered in endless darkness.
At this moment, a realistic and vivid scene appeared in front of the huge palace. It was displayed in front of Xiao Chen's eyes.
Under the blood-like setting sun, a few tall figures were supporting each other. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and they were bleeding golden blood. They were actually all stone men!
These few figures were originally tall and sturdy, but it was difficult for them to stand on the ground at this moment. They could only rely on each other to support each other. Even the pain couldn't make these invincible kings lower their heads. However, their faces were filled with sorrow and despair.
Under the afterglow of the blood-colored setting sun, these few kings were incomparably sorrowful. It seemed like they were powerless to reverse the situation. They were supposed to be invincible kings that could move unhindered in the world, but at this moment, they could only rely on each other's shoulders and borrow each other's strength to barely stand there.
The ground under the feet of every tall and sturdy figure was soaked in blood. Their bodies were covered in pain, and their blood couldn't stop flowing. They couldn't even stand up straight anymore. However, all of them were roaring at the sky in grief, "How could our world be a chaotic place? How could our people be sinners? We are not willing … "
This seemed to be a resistance against fate. They were unyielding and unwilling as they roared at the sky.
Under the setting sun, the few tall and sturdy figures formed a very stylish outline. They were firm and unyielding. In the end, they supported each other and walked on a path of no return while carrying their bodies covered in pain, heading towards a distant place …
The endless blood-colored setting sun elongated the shadows of their backs. There was a sorrowful aura pervading the air. No matter how one looked at it, it gave the feeling that these heroes were at the end of their road, that they were about to reach the end of their lives.
Gradually, gradually, the few tall and sturdy figures disappeared. The scene in front of the huge palace disappeared just like that.
Xiao Chen was deeply moved. Even the invincible kings were so tragic. The heroes were past their prime and walked on a path of no return. He immediately thought of the current situation of the Nine Prefectures. It was so similar.
"Chaotic place … sinners …" Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
Xiao Chen muttered to himself. He kept repeating the two words "sinful".
The divine diagram rotated slowly and emitted an indescribable aura. The huge door in front immediately let out a "creak" sound and opened wide.
Inside the huge palace, several broken skulls were floating. There were also some broken limbs and broken bodies. All of them were made of stone and were slowly floating up and down.
After a very long time, Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "Are these the late kings who stepped on the path of no return that year?"
The divine diagram seemed to have sensed something. With a "rumble", it shook and emitted an incomparably gentle radiance. The broken limbs and broken stone skulls that were floating in the huge palace all trembled. Soon after, the mysterious yet realistic and vivid scene appeared once again.
A few tall and sturdy figures were supporting each other under the setting sun. They were holding nine ancient lamps, and their bodies were covered in pain. They were swaying back and forth on the path of no return, leaving behind clear bloody footprints as they walked towards the battlefield once again …
"That's the Nine Lanterns! Could it be … "
Xiao Chen revealed a shocked expression and muttered, "The land of sin … Could it be the homeland of the ancestors of the Nine Prefectures? Are those kings in their twilight years our ancestors? "
