"The fate of heaven and earth has its end; the sun, moon, and five stars have their ups and downs; the most holy deities have their ups and downs …"
In the void, a bronze lamp flickered and sprinkled down specks of eerie radiance. The Celestial Being Scripture moved in all directions, penetrating the starry sky to purify demons and bring disaster to the town.
Ye Fan listened to the Expiation Scripture and pondered deeply. He thought of many things. This seemingly useless Expiation Scripture would also shine brilliantly in the future and suppress the corpse calamity.
From the Era of Legends to the end of the Celestial Court, then to the Archaic Emperor Era, and then to the Great Emperor Era, supreme beings rose one after another and created an everlasting glorious era. Then, they all grew old and too many things happened.
These outstanding individuals looked down on the heavens throughout the ages, so how could they be willing to die and disappear? They swept through the three thousand realms and overturned the Nine Heavens. In the heavens above and earth below, only they were supreme, so they naturally wouldn't yield to fate.
At that level, longevity was their only pursuit. Naturally, all kinds of methods were born because of this, and now, some of them had already surfaced.
Reincarnation imprints, burying oneself in a land of extreme good fortune, and so on were all related to the corpse calamity. They seemed to be foretelling something.
"Innumerable calamities, in the primal chaos, there are no duplicates above and no duplicates below. Wind and swamp penetrate the void, vajra ride the heavens, the heavens above and the earth below, no netherworld, formless and shadowless, limitless and limitless, Brahman …"
The Expiation Scripture rang incessantly. Ye Fan seemed to have entered a meditative state as he listened to the meaning and pondered silently. For a moment, only the scripture could be heard. The Yellow Springs seemed like they were about to dry up and were suppressed by it.
The ancient lamp flickered and blossomed with divine light, making Ye Fan look like a bright glass immortal body. He was untainted by even a speck of dust and seemed otherworldly under the starry sky.
The human-faced ghost flower in the void trembled and almost withered. Then, it retreated and let out a demonic roar before disappearing into nothingness.
Ye Fan thought of a sentence in the Expiation Scripture and said softly, "The dead soul is refined, the living body is expiated. The calamity exists forever and revolves with the calamity."
The divine light platform appeared and radiated multicolored light in all directions. He opened the Star Door and entered in a flash, disappearing from this place and returning to the outside of the Ruins City.
No one dared to rashly enter the mausoleum of an ancient great emperor. Even the Yuan Taoist Master couldn't touch the emperor corpse. Only heroes could work together and destroy it.
The Nebula Tower was a treasure tower refined from the fragments of the stars. It was completely crystalline and emitted a gentle silvery-white radiance. It had a pure and holy energy.
It was located in the center of the Ruins City and had a great reputation. Powerful cultivators liked to come here to have a seat. It was rumored that this was a restaurant left behind by a Quasi Emperor.
Back then, no one knew that the old man was a Quasi-emperor. Even the guide of this city was at a loss. It was only when he passed away one day and turned into a pile of ashes that he released wisps of Emperor might at the last moment, causing the stars to tremble. Everyone was shocked.
Of course, that was something from one hundred and twenty thousand years ago. No matter which era it was, the appearance of a Quasi-emperor was a great event. It would throw the world into chaos and shake the world.
In any star domain, it would attract people's worship because achieving the dao was too difficult. Those who could reach this step would all be recorded in the annals of history, and they could be counted.
When he was alive, no one knew about him. Only after his death did people understand him. The peerless experts of the past, some Dao protectors, and various Great Sages all came to pay their respects.
People learned some secrets from his neighbors. This low-key Quasi-emperor had sighed in loneliness when he was alive. Why did a Wu Shi appear? How could he be so powerful?
Only now did people understand that this might be an unparalleled existence who had competed with Wu Shi for the position of supreme being. No matter how stunning he was, it was impossible for him to defeat the great emperor who could make even deities tremble.
He was born in the wrong era and could only meet his end.
Otherwise, he might have been a Human Emperor. Unfortunately, he encountered a rarely seen heaven-defying Wu Shi, so he could only retire and spend the rest of his life here alone.
Ye Fan naturally came because of its reputation. After understanding some of the situation, he was filled with curiosity about this place and wanted to take a look.
There was a pair of stone lions in front of the door. They were mottled with time and even had moss growing on them. However, no one dared to look down on them. After all, this was the place where a Quasi-emperor had once lived.
The Nebula Tower did not seem old. It was still as lustrous as before, and the starlight had never dimmed. Walking up the stone steps, people could feel a gentle and auspicious power. Even if they had internal injuries, they could instantly recover.
Naturally, there were experts who had studied it and said that it was not an offensive artifact. It could not even be called a weapon, but it was a good building for health.
Most people who came to the Palace Ruins would come here to take a look.
Ye Fan walked up the steps and entered the jade palace. The starlight inside the building sprinkled down, making him feel full of Essence Qi and his body was light. There was a spatial formation here, so the inside of the building was very spacious and could accommodate many people.
Naturally, there were many cultivators in the Nebula Tower. Three to a table, five to a group. They were all discussing. Most people came here to join in the fun and listen to the latest news and secrets of others.
Ye Fan found an inconspicuous table and drank alone. He quietly listened to everyone's discussion and learned that many great figures were preparing to explore the Yellow Springs.
"The main tomb of an ancient great emperor has appeared. The great experts finally can't sit still anymore. I wonder who will reap great benefits this time."
"I think it will be a great disaster. Since ancient times, as long as it was a Human Emperor, if they did not want their tomb to crack, who could easily steal their tomb?"
Everyone discussed and guessed that it would most likely lead to a reign of terror. This was an eventful time, and many people might rush over and die here.
At this time, what people talked about the most was naturally the great tomb and the emperor's corpse. There were many guesses, and many of them were learned from the human protectors.
"Rumor has it that this should be a great emperor with an extremely long history. The passage of time might have far exceeded people's expectations."
Some people believed that there might be a problem with this great emperor's body. He most likely didn't transform into the Dao and the emperor's corpse fell, cracking the great tomb and exposing it to the world.
"Although it is said to be a tomb, it might be a vast secret realm. Otherwise, how could there be a yellow river?"
People discussed spiritedly.
There were also people who mentioned Ye Fan. His battle with the Overlord had a great impact and was also the focus of people's discussion. Many people felt that he might have arrived and just hadn't shown himself yet.
At this time, footsteps came from the staircase. There were people coming and going. This was a very common thing.
However, when this group of people appeared, they immediately attracted many people's attention. The one in the lead was a peerless beauty, like a fairy who ascended to the heavens, agile and otherworldly.
"Oh, isn't that Fairy Qingshi? She came to the Star Ruins again for the emperor's tomb?"
"It really is the Banished Fairy, one of the strongest people in the depths of the human ancient road. She allied with Di Tian and passed through more than ten golden secret realms, obtaining a heaven-defying fortune."
Fairy Qingshi's name shook the ancient road. In these years, she had come to the Ruins City more than once for the emperor's tomb. Now that she appeared here again, many people naturally recognized her. Coupled with her peerless beauty, it was impossible for her not to attract attention.
She was known as the Banished Fairy. No matter where she went, she would be the focus of attention. Whether it was her cultivation or her beauty, they were all rare on the ancient road.
Only when she went upstairs did people notice the people behind her. All of them were either majestic or peaceful. Their temperaments were all different, and one could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary people.
"Those are the experts under Di Tian. Two of them are … the Qilin Saint and the Vermillion Bird Saint. They returned with Fairy Qingshi. This means that Di Tian might also appear."
These people were all famous on the ancient road, but in the end, they were all subdued by Di Tian. Among them, the Qilin Saint and the Vermillion Bird Saint were the most outstanding.
Fairy Qingshi was graceful and graceful. Her treasured clothes were like condensed moonlight, light and holy. Her fine black hair danced in the wind, and her bright eyes and white teeth were revealed. She directly chose a quiet place to sit down.
The others followed her. Only Fairy Qingshi's maid Ling 'er was very lively. The others were very steady and didn't speak much.
Their table was not very far from Ye Fan, and they could see each other. However, Ye Fan had been very low-key after entering the city. He didn't want to become the focus of attention, so he didn't reveal his true body. Even if they sat together, no one knew that he had arrived.
Very soon, people's gazes shifted, no longer paying too much attention to Fairy Qingshi's group. This was because even the Dao Protector and the Sacred Spirit had come to the Ruins City, and they might even be in this building.
"I wonder if the Sacred Body of the Emperor Burial Star has arrived. I didn't expect him to actually defeat an Overlord of the same level. This is too unexpected!" The Vermillion Bird Saint spoke. He was a handsome young man with a pair of phoenix-like eyes. He sat there quietly, and there was a kind of natural majesty about him.
"Of course he's extraordinary. Apart from master, he also has the origin of the Dao. However, in the end, he is still a level lower, so he isn't recognized by the origin of the Dao, "another person said.
The Qilin Saint had a tall and sturdy figure. His eyes were cold as he said, "Master once sent people to recruit him, but they were rejected. He killed those people and is arrogant and unruly. He is destined to become an enemy."
"Those people are really embarrassing," the lively maid Ling 'er teased. She had personally experienced it back then.
The expressions of the experts under Di Tian were indifferent. They couldn't retort in front of Fairy Qingshi.
"Back then, he rejected master, so a battle was already destined!" the Qilin Saint said in a low voice.
"But we have to admit that he is very heaven-defying and peerless! If such an enemy were to grow up, it would truly be a terrifying matter, "the Vermillion Bird Saint said.
Fairy Qingshi didn't say anything. She was aloof, and these people were very respectful to her, not daring to disturb her. And at this time, her eyes turned, and she inadvertently glanced at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan's heart moved. Did this woman recognize him? If she could really see his true body, the sharpness of her spiritual senses would truly be a bit terrifying.
"He is so heaven-defying. If we think of a way to subdue him and use him for master's use, it would definitely shake the entire human ancient road!" the Qilin Saint said coldly.
Suddenly, the staircase shook, and the entire Star Cloud Restaurant trembled. A figure appeared there. He couldn't be considered very tall and could even be considered somewhat thin and weak. However, he was intimidating and made everyone feel a wave of fear.
His entire body exuded a bloody aura. It was unknown how many people he had killed, but it was as if he had slaughtered all living things and killed deities. He walked out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Even saints couldn't help but tremble when they saw him. This person was like a demonic god, his aura devouring the heaven and earth. That kind of gaze was terrifying, and in the blink of an eye, his eyes were as empty as the abyss.
He wore armor, and his body was indistinct. One could feel his supreme aura, as if he was a demonic god who had killed millions of creatures and broke free from the shackles of hell.
"The Great Demonic God Ancient Wasteland has also returned!" Someone cried out in alarm.
When he walked over, many people stood up in shock, emptying many seats. It was because everyone knew that he was bloodthirsty. His illustrious reputation and supreme divine might were dyed in blood, and there were countless corpses beneath his feet.
He directly found a seat and sat down without saying a single word. The surrounding tables were completely empty, and no one dared to sit next to him.
"He also returned …" The Vermillion Bird Saint and the others' expressions were ugly. This was but the most terrifying Great Demonic God, slaughtering until the ancient road collapsed. It truly made one's hair stand on end.
