Li Mu looked at all this in silence. The Three Ancestors of the Demon Way were talking about the Righteous Path experts who had discovered the Taoyuan and destroyed the path to heaven ten thousand years ago.
For ten thousand years, everyone thought that they had found the Taoyuan and obtained immortality. Today, they discovered that they had all fallen here.
Judging from the state of their corpses, these Righteous Path experts had been dead for at least ten thousand years.
Li Mu looked around, then walked dozens of steps in a direction and came in front of a stone tablet.
This stone tablet was about ten feet tall and five feet wide. There were words on it. The language of the Ten Continents had been passed down for ten thousand years. Li Mu could easily read the words on the stone tablet.
"We have searched for the Taoyuan for countless years, only to find out that the Taoyuan was the source of beasts. Today, the path to heaven has been cut off, the source of the strange beasts. If anyone in the future is fated to come here, take this as a warning. Do not reopen the Gate of Heaven. Remember, remember …"
The inscription was only a short paragraph, and the handwriting was messy. It was obvious that it had been left behind when the situation was extremely critical.
They did not have time to record more, so they used the shortest words to leave behind a warning for those who came after.
Li Mu also came here and saw the inscription. Only then did he know that the strange beasts were not the native races of the Ten Continents that coexisted with humans in ancient times. They were invaders from the Taoyuan. It was no wonder that the strange beasts were inexhaustible at that time.
When the Righteous Path experts found the Taoyuan, they also discovered this secret. They were caught in a life-and-death battle with the strange beasts in the Taoyuan. Unable to escape, they could only forcibly destroy the path to heaven and cut off the source of the strange beasts.
In this way, after the Sage Sect and the strange beasts that existed on the continent perished together, the Ten Continents had ten thousand years of peace.
They were not selfish traitors who enjoyed immortality alone. They fought the strange beasts until their deaths.
But these Righteous Path experts who sacrificed themselves in foreign lands in order to protect the Ten Continents were misunderstood for ten thousand years until today.
The greatest secret from ten thousand years ago was revealed. The Three Ancestors of the Demon Way stood in front of the stone tablet, their expressions extremely wooden. Even with their eighth realm cultivation, they could not stop their bodies from trembling slightly.
At this moment, the exotic beasts in the distance had already discovered them and were rapidly approaching them.
Among them, only the Barge had an aura comparable to the eighth level. However, Li Mu could sense several other powerful existences that were not weaker than the Barge from a great distance away. They would arrive here very soon.
Li Mu's expression changed slightly, and he made a prompt decision. "It's too late. Let's go back quickly. We have to separate the three islands as soon as possible and cut off the connection with the Peach Blossom Spring!"
The three ancestors of the Demonic Dao remained where they were. Xuan Tian glanced at the beasts in the distance before turning to Li Mu and saying, "All of you leave. Someone has to stay behind …"
Li Mu looked at the First Ancestor of the Demonic Path and discovered that two streams of blood were flowing down from his eyes.
Countless experts of the Demonic Path, including Xuan Tian, Yuan Luo, and You Quan, had passed down their memories for ten thousand years because of their unforgettable hatred for the Righteous Path experts and the Righteous Path experts of the Ten Continents.
Only today did they realize that the person they had hated for ten thousand years was not a traitor, but a hero.
Those people were just like them, or even more, but they had to bear the infamy of ten thousand years.
In these ten thousand years, the Demonic Path had killed hundreds of millions of lives in the Ten Continents for revenge.
They relied on hatred to survive. Li Mu didn't know how Xuan Tian and the others were feeling at this moment, but they did need someone to stop those powerful beasts and give him time to destroy the path to the heavens.
Li Mu looked at Tian Jizi and asked, "Senior Tian Jizi, you …"
Tian Jizi smiled at Li Mu and said, "This old man has lived long enough. You all go. The Ten Continents will be left to you all …"
The powerful beasts in the distance were rapidly approaching. Li Mu didn't have time to hesitate. He gave Tian Jizi one last look before flying toward the whirlpool with the Empress. White Emperor followed closely behind them.
Before leaving, Li Mu released Xuan Ming and then flew into the whirlpool hand in hand with the Empress. In the next moment, the blue sea appeared in front of them again.
Li Mu and White Emperor looked at each other. White Emperor nodded and his body swelled up. He raised his palm and pressed it down.
An illusory palm that was hundreds of feet in size quickly formed. It had the power to destroy heaven and earth and landed on the three islands that had merged into one.
As the palm landed, the seawater quickly retreated in all directions. The three islands directly smashed into the bottom of the sea, but only some soil and rocks fell around the islands. The pillar of light that shot into the sky was still there.
The path to the heavens was much more difficult to destroy than Li Mu had imagined. He took out the Sun Shooting Bow and shot an arrow. The arrow that consumed half of his spiritual power didn't cause much damage to the islands.
In the sky, the whirlpool was still spinning. Li Mu knew that there wasn't much time to waste, so he shouted loudly. His voice resounded through the world.
"Everyone, destroy this island with me!"
Taoism, Buddhism, Demon Nation, Ghost Realm, Yong Nation, Great Zhou, and the Black Dragon Race's elites didn't know what was going on, but they had absolute trust in Li Mu. Dozens of Seventh Realm elites joined forces and immediately attacked the three connected islands.
When the Demon Path elites saw this, there was a commotion.
The ancestors flew into the whirlpool and didn't come out for a long time. Li Mu just came out and wanted to destroy the path to the heavens that the ancestors had worked so hard to open. How could they just sit by and watch? In the next moment, a Demon Path elite immediately shouted, "Stop them!"
The righteous and demonic sides couldn't coexist. No matter what Li Mu wanted to do, they just had to oppose him.
But at this moment, another figure flew out from the whirlpool in the sky.
Xuan Ming stood in front of the whirlpool in a daze. Her originally pale face became even paler.
When the Demon Path elites saw her, they stopped moving. The leader looked at Xuan Ming respectfully and bowed with cupped fists. "Greetings, Fifth Ancestor. The Third Ancestor has entered the Taoyuan. We will listen to Fifth Ancestor's orders!"
Xuan Ming's eyes scanned the people of the Demonic Sect. Eventually, she looked at Li Mu. This time, there was no anger or disgust in her eyes. There was only a complicated emotion that she couldn't describe.
Li Mu understood the emotion in Xuan Ming's eyes.
It was endless guilt, endless regret, and a trace of relief.
In the next moment, Xuan Ming waved her sleeves, and seven flowing lights flew out and quickly flew toward Li Mu. Li Mu reached out and grabbed the air. A huge palm appeared in the sky and grabbed the seven ancient pages.
After looking at Li Mu again, Xuan Ming looked at the Demon Path elites below and said in a low voice, "All disciples of the Sage Sect, follow me into the Taoyuan!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she flew back into the whirlpool without looking back.
Dozens of flowing lights streaked across the sky. After Xuan Ming spoke, all the Level Seven elites of the Demon Path followed her into the whirlpool without hesitation.
Facing the ferocious beasts on the other side of the whirlpool, Li Mu already knew what decision the Demon Path ancestors had made.
10,000 years ago, they had made the same decision.
The notorious Demon Path was once the protector of the Ten Continents.
Their hatred for the Ten Continents and the Orthodox Path originated from a misunderstanding. Because of this misunderstanding, they had committed too many sins. This was the only ending they could choose.
Li Mu looked up at the whirlpool in the sky and said in a low voice, "Let's attack together and destroy this island!"
Boom!
Dozens of dazzling spells bombarded the three islands. In an instant, the three islands shattered into countless pieces. The shattered islands could no longer float on the surface of the sea. They slowly sank to the bottom of the sea with the waves.
The moment the three islands shattered, the golden pillars of light that shot into the sky disappeared. The huge whirlpool in the sky also slowly dissipated.
Between heaven and earth, there was silence. Only the sound of waves echoed.
Pa!
A crisp sound was covered by the sound of waves, but it still did not escape Li Mu's ears.
He waved his hand, and a tower flew out from the bottom of the sea. This tower was used by Youquan to avoid calamities. Although there were countless cracks on the surface of the tower, it was not completely destroyed yet.
Pa!
Another crisp sound came from the tower. Li Mu stretched out his hand, and countless jade talismans flew out of the tower.
Pa pa pa …
These jade talismans continued to shatter as they flew out. The shattering of each jade talisman represented the fall of a seventh level demon cultivator.
The crisp sound of jade talismans shattering continued. Li Mu looked up at the sky. The place where the whirlpool had appeared was a calm blue sky. However, everyone could imagine how tragic and bloody the other side of this calm sky was …
Bang!
In an instant, the calm here was broken again. After a dull sound, the space where the whirlpool had appeared began to collapse. Cracks spread out, and from those cracks, one could faintly see the figures of countless strange beasts.
Although the cracks were quickly repaired, this also meant that the power of space here was very weak. Even if there was no path to the heavens, the strange beasts of the paradise might one day break through space and descend.
Looking at the slowly disappearing cracks in space, Li Mu had some understanding at this moment.
The rise of the demon cultivators was not the apocalyptic catastrophe that Tian Jizi had predicted.
With the current strength of the cultivators of the Ten Continents, if the disaster from ten thousand years ago happened again, and the strange beasts broke through space and descended on the Ten Continents, the living beings of the Ten Continents would have no power to resist …
This was the true catastrophe of the Ten Continents …
