This news could be considered as earth-shattering. No one had expected it. It was truly shocking.
That beast's claw reached down a few times, but each time, the skin and flesh were lacerated. Blood splashed everywhere, and the green scales fell off.
The flames of the nine ancient lamps flickered, causing great damage to the terrifying figure in the sky. However, it did not have any effect on the other creatures. This was a powerful artifact that specialized in restraining power that surpassed the limits of this world.
"I want to take down the lamps and break open your graves!" A soul-shaking roar was issued. That terrifying figure brought the ninety-nine layered stone steps down. The beast claw was shrouded in black mist as it reached down once again.
Divine flames surged. Just at this moment, the nine ancient lamps suddenly shone with boundless splendor. The nine flames converged together and formed a shadow condensed from the holy light.
"Pfff!" The sound of limbs breaking transmitted from the sky. A stream of blood flowed down from the sky like a raging river. That huge beast claw was cut off.
"What? The nine ancient tombs have been desolate for so many years, and it actually allowed your bones to produce soul light …"
The terrifying figure in the sky roared angrily. It controlled the ninety-nine layered stone steps and soared into the sky. It did not dare to act blindly without thinking.
"Good, good, good! The soul flame has mutated!" Its voice was incomparably cold. It said the word 'good' three times in a row, "However, you guys have fallen in the end. Even if there is a mutation now, it can only obstruct me for a short while. The next time I come, I will definitely take down the lamps and dig up your graves. The nine supreme treasures of the nine lamps will be mine in the end. "
The black clouds surged in the sky. The ninety-nine layered stone steps were like a huge demonic mountain as it slowly rose up. In the end, it tore open the void and completely disappeared.
This terrifying existence retreated just like that. It left behind a large bloodstain on the ground, as well as many green scales. As for the beast claw that was cut off, it quickly rotted away.
Only now did the creatures of the nine prefectures finally relax. Just now, it was like a huge boulder was pressing down on their hearts, making them feel like they were about to collapse.
The formless pressure disappeared just like that. The destructive disaster was resolved just like that.
Xiao Chen stood blankly on the nine prefectures, absent-minded. Recently, legends about the ancient powerhouses kept appearing. Even the soul bones of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors appeared. What did this mean?
Although the figure at the end of the ninety-nine layered stone steps could not exist for long, and there was no one at the level of the Five Sovereigns in this world, it still made people feel uneasy.
"I will be back!" During this period, Keke returned to the nine prefectures and reunited with Xiao Chen to return the heavenly marks.
Xiao Chen finally completed six Heavenly Marks. For the past five thousand years, he had been bitterly cultivating on a desolate island. He had not taken a single step out of it. However, although the Heavenly Marks were complete, Xiao Chen had not completely comprehended them. He did not rush to read the seventh Heavenly Stele. He only quietly comprehended.
In the passing of time, there were a few great battles in the Heaven Realm. The Three Sovereigns Mirror and the Five Emperors Pagoda appeared before, but they disappeared in the end.
Now, the little thing's divine power was getting stronger and stronger. The power of the clan's curse was about to disappear. It had walked very far on the path of the supreme ancestor god.
After another three thousand years, the peace was broken. The ninety-nine layered stone steps appeared again. That thing descended on the nine prefectures again. But this time, it was more daunting than dangerous. Although the nine prefectures were almost destroyed by the powerful aura, they still retreated without any results.
This was a very serious matter. It made Xiao Chen very uneasy. Logically, this person could not live for long, but it violated common sense.
Later on, he unexpectedly found out that this ancient powerhouse had refined the first ancient capital of the other realm. He placed his flesh shell and primordial spirit in it and lived for a long time. The news shocked the world. The Stone Kings of the Heavenly Realm were also deeply shocked. They all had different thoughts. No one wanted such a person to live forever. The threat to the kings was too great.
Because of this, Xiao Chen had personally visited the other realm and saw the first ancient capital from afar. The huge ancient city stood tall and majestic. It contained an unparalleled tyrannical aura.
This was definitely an ancient city left behind by an existence that surpassed the Stone Kings. Otherwise, it would not have such power. It was precisely this first ancient capital that protected the body of that terrifying person.
Of course, in order to ensure that he could live longer, the first ancient capital was placed at the end of the ninety-nine layered stone steps. It was a double self-suppression and a seal. Only then could that person be protected.
Many Stone Kings were watching. They wanted to see what kind of changes would happen to this terrifying person.
Time always passed by unknowingly. In the blink of an eye, one hundred thousand years had passed. Many things happened during this period.
The civilization of the nine prefectures did not fully develop. The huge impact from last time almost wiped them out. The technological civilization was beaten back to its original state. However, the continuation of life and inheritance did not end. They just returned to the earth from the starry sky.
Until around one hundred and fifty thousand years ago, a shocking event happened.
The heroes that left the nine prefectures in the past returned one after another.
Not only did Chiyou and Laozi not die, but Xing Tian and Zhuang Zi also returned alive. This was only the first batch. Later, Chao Xu, Di Ku, Chong, Shun, and the others also returned and reappeared in the nine prefectures and the Heaven Realm.
This was a powerful force. These people could be said to be the heroes with the most potential in the history of the various civilizations in the nine prefectures. They successfully returned, and their cultivation levels had already improved to a very powerful level.
Their return was a sign that the counterattack that had been waiting for millions of years was about to begin.
Later, many legendary heroes showed up one after another. They attacked the other realms several times and caused great damage to them. But in the end, they retreated when facing the first ancient capital.
A thousand years later, the action of the human demon Ge Qian became the fuse. He attacked the Stone King Wolf Fang in the Heaven Realm and almost killed him.
Then, Yao, Shun, Chiyou, Xing Tian, and the others arrived. They defeated the gods of the other sects, crushed several ancient demon cities, and razed millions of mountains to the ground.
A great war was set off. Fuxi and Suirenshi finally showed up, and King Pangu held his stone axe high in the sky.
The stronghold of the other sects in the Heaven Realm was destroyed. The Stone King of the other realms split and retreated from the battlefield. The other sects even retreated from the Heaven Realm.
It could be said that after this war, the undercurrents were turbulent. The Nine Prefectures and the other realms were temporarily in a stalemate. No one dared to make a move.
In the past ten thousand years, Xiao Chen did not participate in the war. Instead, he calmed down and cultivated.
The more he understood the Divine Stele Mystic Art, the more he felt it was broad and profound. He was not in a hurry to cultivate the seventh tablet. In the past ten thousand years, he had been very calm. He kept summarizing and accumulating. If he wanted to improve, he had to accumulate.
The sun rose and set. Time passed silently. After many years of silence, Xiao Chen finally made some progress. The six Divine Stele Mystic Art gradually became clear.
He had many comprehensions in his heart. Under a bright moonlit night, the six heavenly marks all appeared like rain and lined up around him.
The six heavenly marks were like six miniature Divine Steles. All sorts of carvings appeared on them. Yes, they were very lifelike, like they were alive.
The six heavenly marks rearranged themselves, and the imprints and carvings that appeared when they suppressed the various places disappeared, revealing the Origin Diagram. However, the scene that Xiao Chen saw was not much different. Compared to when he faced the Divine Stele in the past, the complicated carvings were gone. Only the Origin Diagram remained, which was more or less the same.
The six heavenly marks were the six main diagrams. The carvings were very clear, and they had a natural charm as they surrounded Xiao Chen.
The first diagram gave off a faint multicolored light. A majestic heavenly palace stood at the peak of the clouds. Many jade palaces were indistinct amid the clouds.
The second diagram was very ghostly. The pitch-black gates of hell were half-open. Death Qi filled the place. The dark world gave off a boundless aura of death.
The third diagram showed farmers driving oxen to plow the fields, shepherds herding sheep and horses, fishermen casting aside their nets, and peddlers hawking their goods in shops. This gave off a simple aura of life. The various forms of life and the mundane world were all in the Dao Diagram.
The fourth diagram showed a woman with a snake's head and a man with a dragon's head and a human's body standing side by side. Behind them was a black mass with ten thousand beasts roaring. Dust and sand covered the sky, and the ground trembled. The ear-splitting sounds seemed to come from the stone walls.
The fifth diagram showed a boundless scarlet sea with thousands of waves and tens of thousands of layers. A thirty-kilometer-tall mountain of withered bones stood in the center of the scarlet sea. No matter how the surging scarlet waves surged and crashed into it, the mountain of withered bones did not move.
The sixth diagram showed dark clouds high in the sky. Heavy rain poured down, and huge lightning tore through space. Lava surged, and disaster reigned everywhere. The evil Dao was boundless.
It was these six Origin Diagrams that surrounded Xiao Chen. The six diagrams slowly materialized into a true six-sided Divine Stele. Then, the six Divine Steles merged and formed a stone plate with a hole in the center. Xiao Chen sat alone in the center.
"Yiya …"
Not far away, Keke's eyes immediately widened. After the little thing woke up and saw everything, it was exceptionally sensitive.
"Ka ka!" The six stone diagrams connected into a plate. Xiao Chen was as calm as an ancient well. At this moment, he felt all kinds of unnatural Dao, Heavenly Dao, Human Dao, Hell Dao … The six diagrams merged, but he did not leave the Immemorial Demon City. The six diagrams revolved around him and materialized into a stone plate.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation Plate?!" The little thing looked at everything in shock from not far away. Then, it muttered, "That's not right. The Heavenly Stele would not be so simple."
Xiao Chen gradually understood. There was no need to leave the Immemorial Demon City. What he saw and felt allowed him to see a profound path.
Why was there a need to stick to the form? Wasn't the stone plate in front of him the same as a stone city? And this was only the transformed Six Blessings Diagram. It seemed to originate from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Plate, but it was worlds apart. This was just the initial appearance.
After the transformation began, the Six Blessings Diagram gradually became hazy.
The stone plate became indistinct. The Heavenly Dao, Human Dao, Hell Dao, and so on were all erased.
Then, humans, birds, flowers, and beasts appeared one after another. They were full of vitality, but soon after, they withered and turned into soil, drifting with the wind … This was not the end. The soil protected the flowers and nurtured the seeds, starting a new cycle of reincarnation and rebirth.
This was a natural alternation. It was not the traditional reincarnation. It was not the reincarnation of the soul, nor was it an illusory reincarnation. Instead, it was the reincarnation of the true substance.
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt that he had experienced a wonderful journey. From a newborn to the prime of his life, then to old age, and finally to the yellow soil.
Flesh and blood turned into soil. Soil was not the end. Lush and verdant vegetation grew on the soil. Then, it was eaten by animals and turned into flesh and blood … With a flash of light, Xiao Chen finally woke up. The stone plate disintegrated and turned into six diagrams. The six heavenly marks entered his body.
At this moment, he felt that his life force was endless. His soul was indestructible.
Xiao Chen finally comprehended the six Heavenly Monolith Mysterious Technique. It was faintly discernible. He needed to make contact with the seventh Heavenly Monolith. With a flash of light, Xiao Chen disappeared from his original position and directly appeared in the Curse Realm.
Standing on top of the Deep Abyss, with a thought, the morning sun sprinkled down, the bright moon set, and the Heavenly Monolith floated up on its own.
Following that, a sword light soared into the sky. The Solitary Sword Demon was born. "I'm going!" Without saying too much, the Solitary Sword Demon turned into an iron sword and rushed into the netherworld, disappearing without a trace. Xiao Chen nodded his head and did not say anything. After that, he looked at the seventh Heavenly Monolith.
The Six Forbidden Concubine Marks appeared at the same time. All of them appeared on this huge Heavenly Monolith. The radiance circulated around as the six diagrams reappeared.
The seventh Heavenly Monolith, the summary and sublimation of the previous Heavenly Monolith. Xiao Chen's body and mind were moved. It was as if he wanted to attach himself to the Heavenly Monolith.
Suddenly, his mind was shaken. He understood an even greater secret of the Heavenly Monolith.
Practicing the Heavenly Monolith Mysterious Technique was just the beginning. There were still things inside the Heavenly Monolith. That was flesh, that was the imprint of the Great Dao, that was the grave, and that was the diagrams. This gave him a huge shock. The test on the eighth Heavenly Monolith might all be true! That was because he really saw something indescribable inside the Heavenly Monolith.
Unable to see through, unable to see through, indistinct, faintly discernible. This made him anxious the most. However, Xiao Chen calmed his mind and gradually calmed down. He no longer peeked inside the Heavenly Monolith.
His body and mind merged with the diagrams and characters on the seventh Heavenly Monolith. He read and observed them carefully.
The summary inscriptions and carvings carried the essence of the Great Dao. As expected, the Heavenly Monolith needed to be a primer. At this moment, all six Heavenly Monolith were trembling. They had activated all kinds of origin secrets.
Suddenly, the mist became hazy. A mysterious veil appeared on the seventh Heavenly Monolith. The carving of a human head appeared at the position of the first Heavenly Monolith.
It was as if it grew out from the Heavenly Monolith. Very quickly, the other Heavenly Monolith also had a mysterious power circulating around them. The six heads were faintly discernible.
