Xiao Chen arrived at the other world silently and entered the Cangmang Continent below. This was an ancient continent. It was obvious that the other world had existed for countless years. Many of their powerful trump cards were hidden here.
As soon as he entered this continent, he discovered the ninety-nine stone steps. The ominous stone steps that had been shattered had been reborn. The gods had moved here from the original broken world.
"A great omen!"
Xiao Chen stared at the ninety-nine stone steps with an unsightly expression. He vaguely felt that there were a few great threats above.
Could it be that the Demon Venerable's shadow had reappeared in this world?
Xiao Chen did not dare to act rashly. He needed to understand the situation first. The Five Emperor's Pagoda hovered above his head and completely concealed his aura. Only then could he guarantee his safety. Otherwise, not to mention that great omen, even Lu Zhan would not hesitate to eliminate him if he knew he was here.
He had escaped from the stone door of the ninety-nine stone steps. The other world probably did not know about it yet.
This vast and boundless continent was abnormally vast; there was no end to it. Xiao Chen landed in a primeval forest and carefully changed his appearance. Then, he merged his appearance with the Five Emperor's Pagoda, ensuring that there were no flaws at all before he left.
In next to no time, he caught an Eight-Clawed Spider King in the forest. It seemed to be of the same race as the Xeno-race Ancestral God Babula. Besides having eight bone spears, it also had a terrifying scorpion tail.
It had to be said that the otherworldly races were very strange. Although they eventually evolved into humans, many of them were very strange before they reached the pinnacle. Some of them were even unconventional lifeforms like flowing clouds and gloomy mist.
After searching through the Spider King's memories, Xiao Chen gained a preliminary understanding of the other world. This vast ancient continent was divided into several regions with different directions of development.
Xiao Chen inhaled a breath of cold air. Four of the regions were very famous. The God and Demon Region, the Kewu Civilization Region, the Immemorial Prison Region, and the Ancient Ancestor Forbidden Region were the four most important places in the other world.
The God and Demon Region was the place where the God and Demon civilizations continued to develop. It was the base of the otherworldly civilization. The gods that appeared in the past, including Lu Zhan, all originated from there. After billions of years of development, they had absorbed the cultivation methods of many civilizations and had already grown to the extreme. It could be said that they had a very glorious history of development.
The Kewu Civilization Area originated from the human race's path of strengthening themselves through technology. Even though it was rejected by the Other World and had been cut off for countless years, it had been developing again in recent years. All research done here was for the sake of combat. There were some terrifying weapons that could threaten even Ancestor Gods and shatter worlds.
As for the Immemorial Prison Region, it made Xiao Chen excited and angry at the same time. There were countless serious criminals locked up here, it could be said that they were killing machines. Many of them were the most powerful experts of the Nine Regions in the past, and they were transformed into battle puppets. This area was filled with cruelty and cold-bloodedness. Rather than calling it a cage area, it would be more accurate to call it a killing tool modification area.
As for the Ancient Ancestor's forbidden area, it was the exclusive area of the supreme ancestor god and the stone man who could construct the Immemorial Devil City. Humans were not allowed to enter. This was a peaceful and pure land, a cultivation place prepared for the strongest experts. Of course, many people did not cultivate here. Some people were not willing to be in such a place and had their own cave abode in the outside world.
Although Xiao Chen had a crazy urge to light up the forbidden area and make this otherworldly world explode with fireworks, after he calmed down, he understood that it was impossible to do so. The foundation of this otherworldly world was far deeper than he imagined. It was easier said than done to destroy it. With people at the level of primogenitor sitting there, he had no chance. This time, as long as he could find Tian Hen, it would be enough.
Walking in an ancient city, Xiao Chen saw people coming and going on the streets. All sorts of strange races lived together harmoniously, no different from human society.
Xiao Chen had already passed through thirty-seven cities in the God and Demon Region. Finally, he headed for the God and Demon Ancient Capital, which was the largest city in this civilized region.
On the horizon, he could see that colossus from afar. That's right, it was actually very far away, but he could already see an endless black line on the horizon.
This was an incomparably magnificent ancient city. When he got a little closer, he could occasionally see the vague outline of the huge city. Anyone would be shocked. The number one ancient capital of the otherworldly world was simply too majestic. It was even more majestic than all the Immemorial Devil Cities that Xiao Chen had seen before. It was hard to imagine how many experts of other races lived in it.
"This is … …"
Xiao Chen revealed a grave expression. The stronger one's cultivation, the more they could feel that this city was not ordinary.
Xiao Chen was bewildered. That jet-black ancient capital in front of him was very special. Was it man-made or not? He was extremely suspicious! It was many times more majestic than the Celestial City. It was much bigger than any of the cities he had seen before.
A bad feeling welled up in Xiao Chen's heart. The huge city was as if it was made by the heavens. It really did not look like it was man-made. It was even bigger than a king's divine city.
When he finally got close to it, a desolate aura assaulted him head-on. The mysterious power from the ancient times circulated around the huge city, giving Xiao Chen a strong sense of pressure.
Now, he was even more suspicious. This didn't seem like a huge city that was built after the heavens piled up. It was very possible that it was the rebirth of some world-shaking character! The constructed Immemorial Devil Cities.
The strange thing was, Xiao Chen was feeling the pressure here. He felt apprehensive, but the people of other races entering and exiting the huge city were not affected at all.
Within his body, the Five Emperor's Pagoda circulated with specks of light. Only then did the pressure Xiao Chen had to bear lessened. Only then did he return to his normal state and walked towards the huge city.
The ancient city was brimming with the vicissitudes of time. There were many sword marks and holes on the city wall. It had experienced the baptism of wind and frost. It gave people a feeling of the heaviness of history and the precipitation of time.
In this number one ancient capital of the otherworldly world, there were no grotesque people. Everyone had a normal human form. This meant that they were all powerful cultivators of other races. Not a single one of them was weak.
It seemed like there was an extremely strict hierarchy here. Normally, the weak couldn't enter this city. Only the strong could stay here.
Xiao Chen quickly sensed that the spiritual energy here was at least ten times denser than other places. It was completely provided by this ancient city, and not because of any spiritual veins under the ground.
Xiao Chen became even more suspicious.
Without anyone noticing, he controlled a foreign race cultivator and searched his mind. This ancient capital had a very long history. It was already impossible to verify when it was built. However, it was said that the otherworldly world had migrated a few times. The ancient capital was carefully protected and moved to a new world.
Although he couldn't verify it, it was enough to prove that this number one ancient capital had a very long history. Its origin was unfathomable.
"This ancient capital of the otherworldly race might really be the rebirth of some unparalleled character! It was built from time to time … "
After coming to this conclusion, Xiao Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
However, he believed that even if such an unparalleled character existed, he was probably no longer in this world. At the very least, he was not in the otherworldly world.
After some investigation, Xiao Chen sensed Tian Hen's aura. He was in the city. This made Xiao Chen overjoyed. As he expected, this number one ancient capital was the foundation of the four major regions. It was the origin of the otherworldly world. The person who absorbed Tian Hen had appeared here.
Xiao Chen was very cautious. He didn't make a move immediately. Instead, he approached slowly. In the end, he confirmed that his target was a young man with unfathomable strength. Of course, this was only in terms of appearance. It was hard to tell how long he had lived.
Xiao Chen waited in this ancient capital for nine days. Only then did he see the young man walk out from the center of the imperial city. Then, he directly soared into the sky and flew towards the horizon. His target was the ominous place that floated in the sky, the 119 Layered Stone Steps.
This time, Xiao Chen didn't dare to get too close. He used the Five Emperor's Pagoda's imprint to hide his tracks. He stood in the void and observed with his Delusion-breaker Eye from a thousand miles away.
"Very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Xiao Chen's spiritual sense caught a thunderous sound that reverberated around the 99 Layered Stone Steps. At the same time, Xiao Chen saw an inconceivable scene. A huge cyan-colored beast arm covered with cyan-colored scales stretched out from the end of the ninety-nine layered stone steps and grabbed that young man in one go.
"You did well. You finally absorbed two Tian Hen …"
The green beast claw that was as big as a mountain grabbed the young man and retreated to the end of the 99 Layered Stone Steps.
Xiao Chen was extremely shocked. At the end of the ninety-nine stone steps, there was actually such a horrifying green-skinned beast. What exactly was that thing? It was definitely not the Demonic Lord behind the stone door.
The omen of great misfortune originated from there! Xiao Chen was instantly on guard. He knew that it was the existence that surpassed the limits of this world! How could this be? Wasn't such a person not supposed to exist in this world? How did it appear? Why was it occupying this ominous land in this strange world?
Xiao Chen didn't dare to act rashly. The Five Emperor's Pagoda had suppressed him to the point that he was no different from Ji Tian. At this moment, he was like a flowing cloud or a fluttering wind. He didn't emit any aura at all.
Otherwise, if he was discovered, he would definitely die! "What are they trying to do? There is someone in this strange world who can absorb the Tian Hen. Furthermore, it seems like the beast arranged for them to do so …"
While Xiao Chen was quiet, the 99 Layered Stone Steps, this ominous land, was filled with surging black clouds. It was unfathomably eerie.
After more than half a month, there was another strange movement. A beast claw covered in green scales reached out and sent the young man out.
That young man kowtowed to the 99 Layered Stone Steps with great sincerity. Then, he flew into the distance.
On the 67th floor, Xiao Chen was shocked to find that the man's aura seemed to be even stronger. The mysterious potential hidden in his body was much more terrifying than half a month ago. It was even more unfathomable.
The young man didn't fly around the first ancient capital. Instead, he crossed the Kewu Civilization Zone and flew to the other side of the continent. Xiao Chen followed behind him unhurriedly. The Kewu Civilization Zone below had rows of skyscrapers. This kind of conflict was incompatible with the Fiendgod Civilization Zone.
Soon, Xiao Chen found that the young man's destination was the Ancient Ancestor's forbidden zone. He was exceptionally cautious here and didn't dare to enter too deeply.
Just at this moment, Xiao Chen saw a familiar person. It was Lu Zhan. He went up to Gao Qie personally. That young man quickly kowtowed and said, "Greetings to the primogenitor!"
"Get up. Follow me down to talk."
Lu Zhan brought the young man and landed on the mountain range below. There were pavilions and waterfalls. The scenery was very beautiful.
"This time, I feel that my flesh shell is even stronger. It's not just the effect of the Heavenly Stele Mystic Technique. The most important thing is that 'that person' tempered my body."
The young man reported truthfully with an anxious expression on his face. "But I feel more and more terrified. It's like it's staring at its prey. It doesn't seem like it's helping me, but rather it's forging its own body."
Lu Zhan muttered to himself, "Isn't this kind of existence completely annihilated? It can't exist in the world. How can it reappear …"
"Primogenitor, is it really our ancestor?"
Lu Zhan frowned and said, "There are no such records. We can't find its origin. We don't have such an ancestor …"
"Then should we …"
The young man's eyes revealed a ferocious glint.
"Don't act rashly. Even if I make a move, it's useless!"
Lu Zhan's eyes were extremely sharp. He said, "Let's treat it as the first generation primogenitor for now. It's not a bad thing that it's entrenched at the end of the 99 Layered Stone Steps."
"But its sanity fluctuates between madness and improvement. I'm really afraid that it will do something terrifying …"
The young man was full of worries. He said, "Moreover, half of its body has been destroyed. What's left is only a broken body, and it's deteriorating. It can't exist in this world for a long time. We should take this opportunity to get rid of it. Otherwise, whatever countermeasures it comes up with, the consequences will be unpredictable!"
"I know you're worried that it will use you as a cauldron. But don't worry too much. You'll be fine within a hundred years. Your body's condition can't satisfy its needs. Moreover, it wants to collect the Heavenly Scar, but it's not that easy. I'm afraid it won't be able to do it even if it lives forever."
Lu Zhan's face was gloomy. He said, "Although its body is decaying, it's entrenched at the end of the 99 Layered Stone Steps. I'm afraid it can live for more than a thousand years. If it restrains its aura and hibernates, I'm afraid it can live even longer."
"What's its origin on earth …"
The young man frowned.
"He must be a terrifying figure from some ancient history before the Primordial Era …"
Lu Zhan gazed at the 99 Layered Stone Steps and said, "I once spied on him. I heard that he wants to kill all the descendants of the Five Emperors. If it's true, he's definitely on our side."
Hearing Lu Zhan's words, Xiao Chen was shocked. He instantly thought of the clone he met in the Buddha's Sea of Consciousness. It's him. He must have returned! Didn't the old Stone Tortoise and the Stone Emperor say that he couldn't return alive? But in the end, he still appeared! Moreover, he was collecting the Heavenly Steles now. He must be plotting something big.
The person exiled by the Five Emperors had survived until now. Unless the Little Stone Emperor was reborn, no one could suppress him.
Moreover, based on all the clues, it might really be the first generation ancestor of the Otherworld! Otherwise, why did he come to the end of the 99 Layered Stone Steps directly and not start a massacre?
"I'll take you to the Heaven Realm and pay a visit to a few old antiques who survived the Primordial Era. They are now our allies. Who knows, they might be able to deduce the identity of the person who refined your flesh shell from your aura. Perhaps the Heaven Realm has accurate records of this person."
Hearing Lu Zhan's words, Xiao Chen, who was hiding in the dark, had an idea. This was a great opportunity. He would only have a chance to make a move after leaving the Otherworld. Otherwise, the existence on the 99 Layered Stone Steps would be too terrifying.
