Time passed quickly, the years were silent. Thirty thousand years had passed, it could be said that the blue sea had turned into mulberry fields.
Many people had already faded from Xiao Chen's memory. It had to be said that this was a kind of sorrow. Time had mercilessly erased them, gone with the wind. There was no such thing as an everlasting beauty. Everything could be erased.
Suddenly feeling a familiar aura, he discovered the Solitary Sword Demon's traces. This was not a small shock to Xiao Chen.
The sword-qi soared into the sky. Under the pitch-black abyss, one after another resplendent radiance tore apart the barrier of the Curse Realm and connected to the Celestial World.
That's right, that was the Solitary Sword Demon's aura. Proud and powerful, there was also a hint of callousness and ruthlessness. An iron sword streaked across the sky, the might suppressed the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers.
After being separated by life and death for thirty thousand years, Xiao Chen had experienced all kinds of joys and sorrows as his old friends fell one after another. Now that he suddenly met his old friends again, all kinds of feelings welled up in his heart. One by one, the lively faces appeared before his eyes again.
"Chi … …"
Suddenly, a huge sword-qi flew towards him. It was cold and ruthless, filled with a berserk and murderous aura!
"Clang … …"
Xiao Chen grabbed the three meter long Sky Shatterer and used it to block in front of him. The huge sword-qi drew a line of sparks before it was scattered.
However, the terrifying sword-qi did not stop there. Dozens, hundreds, thousands of sword-qi converged into a huge river and surged over.
"Weng, Ge, Ah, Roar, Moo, Duo … …"
Xiao Chen vibrated the Eight Origin Sounds. The heavenly sound shook the ancient times and passed through the future. It was like an invisible roulette rolling over and blocking all the sword-qi.
However, the smell of blood became even stronger. The surging scarlet bloody mist surged out and immediately dyed the entire sky red. The sun and moon were covered, the surrounding rivers and mountains were submerged.
"Boom … …"
The incomparably powerful aura spread out violently. The surrounding mountains immediately crumbled and turned into ashes.
There was also a huge river in the distance, it was also evaporated in an instant, revealing the hard riverbed.
Everything within a circumference of several hundred miles was shrouded by the bloody mist. The bloody aura was overwhelming!
"Solitary Sword Demon!"
Xiao Chen shouted loudly. Each of his words took a tangible form and pressed towards the depths like a huge seal.
The blazing radiance rushed up, the bewitching bloody mist surged, the aura of the sand was filled with tyranny. A strange person with disheveled hair rushed over.
What kind of eyes were these? Gazing at it made one feel as if one had fallen into the depths of hell!
At one moment, it was incomparably empty, deathly silent, and desolate. At another moment, it was bone piercingly cold like an icehouse. At another moment, it was blood red, violent, and crazy.
Xiao Chen's sharp senses detected that the Solitary Sword Demon's condition was not quite right. His mind was in a frenzy.
"Solitary Sword Demon!"
Every word he spat out was like a sledgehammer falling from the sky, smashing towards the tall figure in front of him.
The voice was so loud that even the deaf could hear it. It was like a great bell ringing, and it wanted to wake up the Solitary Sword Demon.
However, the Solitary Sword Demon's aura was rising unceasingly. The expression in his eyes became even more frightening. It was constantly changing between a deathly emptiness and a stern coldness.
"Crack …"
The ground around Fathom suddenly cracked, and hundreds of large cracks extended into the distance.
Xiao Chen could not help but be startled. This aura was already very scary in the first place, but it was still growing crazily. After not meeting for several tens of thousands of years, the Solitary Sword Demon had become even more powerful and horrifying.
"Clang! Clang!"
Just at this moment, the Solitary Sword Demon's body suddenly emitted sparks in all directions. He and the iron sword in his embrace became one. His tall and majestic physique seemed to have turned into a lump of iron.
His body turned into an iron body like the iron sword. It was not an illusion, this kind of transformation really took place. He was like an iron man, and an even more powerful aura burst out from his body.
At this moment, all the mountains that could be seen on the horizon were turned into dust by the incomparably sharp and formless sword qi.
Even Xiao Chen was shaken. He used the Heavenly Monument to block that formless sword intent and killing intent.
Only at this moment, did the powerful Solitary Sword Demon's eyes revealed a hint of clarity. He bit his iron lips with difficulty and said, "Use the Heavenly Monument to … suppress me under the abyss!"
"What happened to you?"
Xiao Chen knitted his brows. He did not expect to see an old friend in this kind of state.
"This place is … the pit of millions of people. I am fused with the endless power of will … the divine soul and the demonic soul …
When the Solitary Sword Demon was saying these words, he bit his iron lips until they bled. It was incomparably difficult for him to maintain his last trace of consciousness.
In the past, the Curse Realm had an exceptional great formation that could even stop the gods of the otherworldly realm. It possessed great might. Although it was destroyed in the end, the formation core was not destroyed. It was just under the abyss.
Moreover, this place was the pit of millions of people in the past. Countless heroic spirits were killed here. The ocean-like killing intent and the incomparably terrifying soul power were all suppressed.
Back then, the Solitary Sword Demon's clan was completely massacred. The sword intent condensed by all the ancestors broke through the otherworldly realm's ancestor god's obstruction and entered his body. He went crazy for a day and finally jumped into this abyss. During these thirty thousand years, he cultivated among the mountains of corpses and seas of bones. He experienced countless trials and tribulations, fused with the endless power of will of the heroic spirits in the pit of millions of people, and fused with the divine soul and the demonic soul.
This was an extremely cruel and terrifying process. He was on the verge of going crazy and self-destructing. If it wasn't for the Heavenly Monument that shrunk and fell into this place, suppressing the pit of millions of people in the past, he might have already self-destructed.
Only with the powerful Heavenly Monument suppressing this place could he maintain a trace of consciousness and continue his bitter tempering.
"Aren't you afraid of being suppressed to death here?"
This was the seventh Heavenly Monument, it was useless to Xiao Chen at present.
"It doesn't matter, the one meter Heavenly Monument … can't seal me to death …"
Xiao Chen didn't say anything else. He used the seventh Heavenly Monument to suppress the Solitary Sword Demon. The monument and Xiao Chen slowly fell into the abyss.
"Wait a moment!"
Just at this time, the Solitary Sword Demon's eyes emitted two sharp glints. He asked hesitantly, "They …"
"Frosty and the others … are no longer here. Sorry, I couldn't find them."
Hearing this, the Solitary Sword Demon closed his eyes. After that, he suddenly fell into the abyss. Xiao Chen knew that it would be several tens of thousands of years before they meet again. At that time, the Solitary Sword Demon might have already changed a lot.
"One day, I will come out by myself and kill my way into the otherworldly realm …"
A painful roar transmitted from the abyss.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and followed his senses. He circled around the Curse Realm, but he couldn't find the aura of the other Heavenly Monuments.
Soon after, he tore open the void and arrived at the World of Immortals.
Just at this time, he suddenly felt something was calling him from the distant Southern Wasteland.
The Eightfold World was like a dream. The eight worlds were rolling around, Xiao Chen arrived at the Southern Wasteland in an instant.
It was not here, it was still in front. Unknowingly, he walked into the center of the ocean. The blue waves surged, the huge waves soared to the sky. In front of him, there was a huge island brimming with vitality. It was like a resplendent green pearl embellished in the boundless ocean.
Dragon Island, isn't it outside the Nine Provinces? Who moved it here?
Xiao Chen arrived by treading on the waves. He took a step and entered this lush and verdant huge island. Although the World of Immortals had given birth to a new dragon, there wasn't a single dragon here anymore.
Suddenly, a wave of vitality came over. It was extremely powerful.
It came from the direction of the original dragon's sacred mountain. Could it be that the Heavenly Tree had regained its vitality? That place was filled with auspicious lights, it enveloped half of the dragon island.
Xiao Chen arrived here almost in an instant. After observing carefully, he discovered that the roots of the Heavenly Tree had already decayed a long time ago. Under the power of time, it finally returned to the earth.
And not far away from it, there was another towering tree. Its branches and leaves were luxuriant. It was as tall as a mountain. Its entire body was emerald green, it stood upright there.
With a flash of light, the huge tree disappeared. A middle-aged man appeared in its place. His body was sturdy and powerful, flickering with green specks.
Xiao Chen felt that he was a little familiar.
"We've met before."
Just at this time, this green-haired man opened his mouth and said.
In that instant, Xiao Chen immediately recalled. Back then, when he entered the World of Immortals and fought on the dragon island, he once met an old treant in the treant's valley. He saw with his own eyes the old treant transformed into a body of flesh and blood.
At that time, the dragon island was sealed, no deities were allowed to appear. The old treant's performance at that time was purely heaven-defying. He was definitely a powerful figure. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Chiyou, who was still a ghost-corpse, to mind his own business.
Xiao Chen nodded his head, he was rather rueful. So many years had passed, almost all the people of the same generation had passed away. Yet, he was able to meet this person whom he had only met a few times. It really made him sigh at the impermanence of life.
"There is still one more person … …"
Xiao Chen knitted his brows, he felt a wisp of the Death King's aura. Although it was very weak, it made people's heart palpitate. Even he felt a sense of danger. One could very well imagine how powerful this person was.
"Boom … …"
Just at this time, the sound of wind and thunder transmitted from the center of the dragon island. The black fog of the Death King immediately surged over.
They were still several hundred miles away, but that aura was enough to shake people to the core. In that instant, a huge figure appeared at this place.
He was at least ten meters tall. The black fog surged over and over again, the forest immediately darkened. A rotten smell pervaded the air.
The huge figure took a step forward, there was a pair of rotten wings on his back that were trembling slightly.
"The affairs of the world are unpredictable … …"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but lament, all his friends had disappeared. However, he was able to meet two acquaintances in succession.
It was precisely that Undying King from the Death King's swamp on the dragon island. He was able to make friends with Chiyou in the past, and he was able to suppress Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang to tremble with fear. Naturally, his background was not ordinary.
After so many years, he had already become a powerful ancestor. Furthermore, even Xiao Chen felt a sense of danger from him. He was definitely a powerful figure with a "story".
Xiao Chen did not pursue the matter. Everyone had their own story. This Undying King might have a world-shaking past, but he fell on the dragon island after all. Presumably, he also hoped to start a new life. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to retain his rotten corpse after becoming so powerful.
There was no hostility, no precaution. The three of them were as calm as still water. They sat on a mountain peak and looked at the distant sea of clouds. They exchanged a few words for a short while.
As expected, they were the ones who moved the dragon island back. Humans are a kind of strange animal. Even someone as powerful as them was very nostalgic.
In the end, the two of them only had one sentence. If they were to slaughter their way into the other world in the future, all they needed to do was to summon Xiao Chen. It could be considered a plain but powerful promise.
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Xiao Chen continued on foot, searching the dragon island alone.
He closed his eyes and moved according to his intuition. He felt a peculiar aura, there was a Heavenly Stele here.
Unknowingly, when he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at that snowy peak on the dragon island.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and brushed away the thick snow on the peak. A familiar object was immediately revealed. It was a palm-sized Heavenly Stele. It was simple and unadorned.
In the past, the Heavenly Stele on the dragon island had already flown to outer space and disappeared. How did it fall back here?
Xiao Chen did not know, and he did not need to know. It was enough for him to obtain the Heavenly Mark on this trip.
Circulating the Mysterious Technique, the Heavenly Stele Ancient Method drove a surge of divine power. It immediately circulated and emitted a unique aura.
With a flash of light, the Heavenly Stele's Heavenly Mark immediately entered Xiao Chen's body. It was very smooth, it blended with each other like water and milk. It was as if it was originally a part of him.
Not long later, Xiao Chen arrived at the Demon Plain. The vast plain was no longer lifeless. Now, there were many powerful tribes living here. However, he could only feel the remnant aura of the Heavenly Stele. He did not find any trace of the Heavenly Stele.
On the same day, Xiao Chen tore open the void and arrived at the Qi Realm's Sky Burial Valley. He had searched this place before, but he did not find anything.
Now, Xiao Chen practiced the Heavenly Stele Ancient Method. Although he had not completely comprehended it, he could already bring it to bear, helping him sense the Heavenly Stele's existence.
Now, Sky Burial Valley was filled with greenery. The originally barren land of death was now covered in lush vegetation.
However, when one peeled away the soil, one would discover a large number of withered bones. Those belonged to Godfiend cultivators. It was very difficult for them to truly rot away.
Xiao Chen used his hands to uproot many towering ancient trees, exposing a large area. Beneath the soil were the ruins of the forty-nine heavenly palaces.
Xiao Chen sensed the Heavenly Stele's aura in these ruins.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and reached down. Then, he picked up some rubble and let it fall through the gaps between his fingers. Finally, he sighed and frowned.
It seemed like the Heavenly Stele was here not long ago. However, it had vanished without a trace.
Yes, it seemed like it had been here decades ago, perhaps even centuries ago. In the end, someone found it and took it away.
Xiao Chen used the Fantasy Breaking Eye to peer through this space and time. He briefly saw a blurry past. Someone had been here to search.
"Who is it? To think that he knows so much about the Heavenly Stele …"
Xiao Chen's heart immediately sank. He had a bad feeling. It seemed like someone was trying to collect the Heavenly Stele like him.
Using the Heavenly Mark as a guide, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and searched silently again.
That person was definitely an expert. That person had taken the Heavenly Stele away. His figure was very hazy and hard to see clearly.
Finally, Xiao Chen returned to the nine provinces. The moment he stood on this land, the Heavenly Mark in his body trembled.
Xiao Chen immediately felt excited. He circulated his Profound Technique and brought out the Heavenly Mark. Then, he closed his eyes and followed his intuition.
After an unknown period of time, he discovered that he was already deep underground. He arrived at a mysterious ancient building.
This was an extremely spacious place. The ancient building had withstood the test of time, showing no signs of decay.
The depths of the ground were incredibly deep, seemingly boundless.
Xiao Chen sensed the existence of the Heavenly Stele here. Furthermore, it was the Heavenly Stele of Sky Burial Valley. Its aura was exactly the same!
The Heavenly Stele was taken away by someone. Why did it appear here? Could that powerful person be here? Who exactly was it?
Xiao Chen advanced step by step. After traveling a long distance, he did not emit any Divine Energy fluctuation. It was like he was advancing silently like a ghost.
Not long after, he frowned. There was a huge pit in front of him. There were countless skeletons in it. Although it could not compare to the ten million people pit in the Curse World, there were at least several hundred thousand skeletons here.
When piled together, it was exceptionally glaring!
Xiao Chen paused for a moment before continuing forward.
Suddenly, he felt a weak fluctuation of life. In the dark corner in front of him, there was a humanoid creature with disheveled hair lying on the ground. It looked very miserable and lonely.
It was a woman. The left side of her face was as smooth as jade. She was very beautiful and could be said to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Her skin was like ice and her bones were like jade. She was a rare beauty.
However, when she felt that someone was approaching, she slowly raised her head. The long hair that was covering the other side of her face spread out. What gave people a huge shock was that the right side of her face was actually a skeleton. It was deathly pale and its eye sockets were pitch-black.
Who was so cruel to torment such a beautiful woman to this state?
Half angel, half demon. Half of her face was a peerless beauty, while the other half of her face was like that of a malicious spirit. Her remaining beautiful eye stared at Xiao Chen lifelessly at first. Then, it suddenly revealed a trace of fluctuation.
"It's you … Don't come over, go away!"
This woman seemed to have suddenly lost control. She suddenly screamed and painfully covered the right side of her face. She used her messy hair to cover her face and retreated continuously. Finally, she hid in a dark corner.
"Go away …"
Xiao Chen was stunned. After that, he suddenly recognized that the person before him was actually the Empress of the Nine Prefectures, Zhao Lin Er. He never thought that she would become like this.
"Rumble …"
The sound of metal chains shaking could be heard. Zhao Lin Er's four limbs were actually tied with divine metal chains. They seemed to have seeped into her bones and grew into her flesh. It could be said that it was extremely cruel. She was imprisoned here.
"Why did you have to do this …"
In the past, although Xiao Chen really wanted to kill this woman, his old friends in the Nine Prefectures were almost all dead now. Moreover, he had experienced all kinds of wars in the other world. This little grudge was no longer something he cared about.
Speaking of which, he wanted to shatter that divine metal chain and rescue Zhao Lin Er.
"I don't need your sympathy …"
Zhao Lin Er wept and retreated unceasingly.
The aloof Empress of the Nine Prefectures in the past actually ended up in such a miserable state. Facing her enemy again, one could imagine the disappointment and complicated emotions in her heart.
Just at this time, a series of footsteps suddenly transmitted from the front. The metal chains rattled, and another life force fluctuation transmitted over.
Xiao Chen arrived in front of her in a flash. He pointed with his finger and the metal gate that was blocking the entrance of the cave immediately crumbled. A little celestial horse with a body as white as jade was chained inside. Its whole body was spotlessly white, without a speck of dust. It was an exceptionally divine steed.
Naturally, Xiao Chen was not unfamiliar with it. It was precisely the little celestial horse he met on the dragon island back then. It once saved his life from the claws of the Tyrannical Dragon. Although this divine steed followed Zhao Lin Er and left in the end, he still felt warmth in his heart.
This little celestial horse's appearance did not change, but its body was filled with unparalleled divine power. However, it seemed to have suffered a heavy injury and was sealed here by someone.
Xiao Chen pointed at the divine metal chain and rescued it. After that, he returned to Zhao Lin Er and helped her break the metal chain as well.
"I don't want you to save me …"
Zhao Lin Er cried bitterly.
The little pegasus waddled over and sent a voice transmission to Xiao Chen, "This is the location of a lost Ancient Era's civilization. The people of the other world conducted many inhumane experiments here. The mortals all died, but the two of us, as the test subjects of the Demonic God, were not killed …"
Xiao Chen quickly found out what happened. He quickly rushed into the depths of the underground. The little celestial horse carried Zhao Lin Er and followed closely behind.
Within a vast building, Xiao Chen was surprised to find a lot of scientific and technological instruments. And the Heavenly Monolith of Heaven Burial Valley was placed on the center table. It seemed to be being analyzed by a mysterious instrument …
