Chapter 580
The Ruins of the Heavenly Court [2]
Su Chen's consciousness seemed to transform into the most faithful bystander, witnessing firsthand the apocalyptic war that was worthy of being recorded in the annals of cosmic history.
He saw that a large army of gods was attacking.
The one who takes the lead is the Divine Emperor Yuan.
Thus began the epic battle between these two who had reached the pinnacle.
The vast war swept through the three major clans of the divine path, as well as the eight great families of the immortal realm.
however.
At a higher level.
Su Chen also glimpsed countless demonic creatures of various shapes and sizes, filled with ominous and filthy aura, surging wildly out of the dark door like a tide!
Some of them resemble twisted aggregates of flesh and blood, some are like pure shadows, and some are conceptual monsters that defy description!
They have only one goal—
destroy!
Destroy this vibrant and orderly world before us!
In order to destroy the Immortal Realm more quickly, the Eight Great Families, and bury the Immortal Dao civilization, the Divine Race led beings from outside the gate to descend into the world and attack the Immortal Realm.
"war!!!"
Emperor Yuantian let out a roar that shook the heavens!
He abruptly rose from his throne, unleashing an unparalleled aura that would make all laws submit!
Those who offend our Heavenly Court, no matter how far away, shall be punished!
With his command!
The entire Heavenly Court, this war machine that had been running for countless epochs, instantly went into full power!
Countless celestial soldiers and generals formed profound battle formations, transforming into torrents of steel, and actively met the endless divine army.
Countless ancient immortals unleashed their natal magic weapons and unleashed their world-destroying divine powers, fiercely blasting towards that pitch-black door!
In addition, the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array" that protects the entire Heavenly Court was activated to its maximum at this moment!
Three hundred and sixty-five ancient main stars cast down billions of dazzling starlight, which transformed into an indestructible star sword, shredding swarms of demons into dust!
From the very beginning, the battle entered its most brutal and intense phase!
Every minute, every second, countless lives are withering away.
The blood of immortals and demons dyed the entire Heavenly Court a dazzling crimson!
Su Chen watched quietly.
His mind was shaken like never before!
The scale and brutality of this war far exceeded any he had ever experienced before!
War is just too brutal.
The demons pouring out from behind the "door" seemed endless, and they could not be killed indefinitely!
The powerful figures of the Heavenly Court are constantly falling.
Gradually, the defenses began to crumble.
……
……
I don't know how long I watched it.
The magnificent celestial scene, constructed from overlapping images of time and space, slowly dissipated like a sand painting blown away by the wind.
Before the ruins of the former Lingxiao Palace, a figure seemed to emerge quietly from the dust of history.
Su Chen finally witnessed the appearance of the letter writer!
"So you are Tianjizi?"
The newcomer was dressed in a simple gray Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand. His face was thin and refined, and his eyes seemed to hold the birth and death of billions of stars.
He simply stood there quietly, his aura perfectly blending with the shattered world and the chaotic heavens. Even Su Chen would have difficulty perceiving his presence unless he saw it with his own eyes.
"I presume you are Tianjizi?" Su Chen said calmly as he spoke again.
"Master Taiyi, Fellow Daoist Su Chen." Tianjizi bowed, his voice gentle yet carrying a sense of worldly wisdom and vicissitude. "This old man has been waiting here for a long time."
"Third on the Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking, to be able to secretly send the jade slip under my nose, I admire your skills." Su Chen's tone revealed no emotion.
"You flatter me, Dao Master." Tianjizi stroked his beard and smiled. "It's nothing more than some minor arts of divination and seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. Compared with the Dao Master's supreme power in wielding the Great Dao and reversing the universe, comparable to the unparalleled power of a Golden Immortal, it's not worth mentioning."
He changed the subject, his expression becoming serious: "The Dao Lord must have already sensed that the laws of this universe are becoming increasingly 'fragile'."
Su Chen nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
"That tainted sun, in its essence, is a 'source of Dao staining'!"
Tianjizi made a startling statement: "It is not simply releasing foul odors, but assimilating, eroding, and rewriting the fundamental Dao of our universe! If this continues, the laws of the Star Sea will completely collapse, and all immortals and gods who depend on this Dao for life, no matter how high their cultivation, will become rootless duckweed, and will eventually be assimilated by the filth, turning into walking corpses!"
"The reason why we Golden Immortals and Supreme Gods dare not make a move easily is because our own Great Dao is too deeply connected with this universe. Once we make a full-force move, we are very likely to have our Dao foundation eroded by the 'Source of Dao Staining' according to the laws, and end up in an irrecoverable state."
These words explain why those reclusive immortals preferred to watch the gods run rampant rather than reveal themselves.
"So, what's your plan?" Su Chen asked directly.
“It’s very simple.” A glint of wisdom flashed in Tianjizi’s eyes. “Cut off the fuel supply!”
"According to my deduction, the core of the 'Source of Dao' was formed by taking advantage of the 'Heavenly Dao Axis' left over from the collapse of the ancient Heavenly Court!"
"That 'Heavenly Dao Axis' is the central hub of the ancient Celestial Court, which governs all laws and commands all heavens. As long as we can regain control of it, we can sever its connection with the 'Source of Dao Contamination,' and even, conversely, use its power to purify the entire tainted sun!"
At this point, Tianjizi paused, his tone gradually becoming more fervent.
"The path of immortality has continued uninterrupted from the First Era to the Ninth Era."
"However, in this tenth era, due to the upheaval caused by Zuo Qingcang, the Golden Immortals have gone into hiding, afraid to emerge. Only by eliminating that 'tainted sun' can the starry sea be revitalized and the immortal path revived!"
"And for you, if you want to reach the top, Zuo Qingcang is someone you must take care of, isn't he?"
Tianjizi slowly began to narrate.
In his opinion.
Su Chen had no reason not to cooperate with him.
Su Chen, this Taiyi Heavenly Immortal, has reached the limit of the second realm. Whether he wants to climb to the third realm or become the one who reaches the top in the future, he will have to deal with Zuo Qingcang sooner or later.
It is better to choose a day than to hit it.
This is why he emerged after lying low for so many years.
Where is the axis of the Heavenly Way?
“It is at the deepest part of this Heavenly Court ruins, and also the most dangerous place—the Tomb of the Heavenly Emperor!” Tianjizi pointed to the end of the ruins. “However, it is shrouded by the obsessions of the immortals who fell back then, as well as the last unwilling will of Emperor Diyuan, forming an indestructible ‘Wall of Ten Thousand Immortals’ Resentment. To break it, two completely different forces are needed.”
He looked at Su Chen, his eyes filled with sincerity: "We need your supremely yang and heaven-shaking Taiyi creation power, Lord Dao, to forcefully break through the barrier from the outside; we also need this old man to use the art of heavenly secrets to appease the billions of vengeful spirits inside and quell the remnant soul of the Heavenly Emperor. The two of us, one yang and one yin, one outside and one inside, can only succeed by joining forces!"
Su Chen listened quietly, but his mind was racing.
Tianjizi's plan sounded flawless and perfectly reasonable. However, his overly sincere attitude and those all-seeing eyes made Su Chen instinctively feel uneasy.
He looked with his Taiyi Heavenly Eye, but all he saw was a thick fog of destiny surrounding Tianjizi, making it impossible to see through his true nature.
"Alright." Su Chen finally nodded. "I'll do as you say."
No matter what schemes Tianjizi might have, they would all be futile in the face of such absolute power. Moreover, he was indeed very interested in the "Heavenly Dao Axis." Eliminating Zuo Qingcang would be a good thing for both him and the entire vast starry sea.
Zuo Qingcang is currently blocking the road.
Obstruct his path, obstruct the path of all living beings in the starry sea.
Su Chen wanted to continue his ascent, and the first thing he said he needed to do was to revive the entire vast star sea so that the Golden Immortals could emerge.
Make those ancient beings and great immortals who have vanished from the past reappear.
only if.
Only then can he glimpse the path to the Three Realms!
What Tianjizi sought was also what he sought.
Seeing that Su Chen agreed, Tianjizi showed a relieved smile.
Without further delay, the two transformed into two streaks of light and sped towards the deepest part of the Heavenly Court Ruins, towards the legendary Mausoleum of the Heavenly Emperor.
……
……
The deeper one ventures into the Heavenly Court Ruins, the more chaotic the laws become, and the more intense the deathly stillness and desolation permeating the air grows.
Along the way, the two encountered many monsters that had been corrupted by the filthy air and "come back to life" from ancient corpses.
Some are the remains of celestial soldiers, half-broken but still wielding divine weapons; others are the vengeful spirits of immortal beasts, devoured and devouring.
Even the weakest of these monsters is comparable to a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal). Some of the stronger ones even possess a terrifying aura at the level of an ancient god-king.
However, these monsters, which would give even ordinary Golden Immortals a headache, appeared utterly vulnerable in front of Su Chen and Tianjizi.
"Rest in peace, you wretched creature."
Su Chen pointed his fingers like a sword, and a nine-colored sword light containing the true meaning of "Taiyi Purification" swept across. A huge demonic shadow formed from the resentment of hundreds of heavenly generals let out an unwilling roar and vanished, turning into the purest primordial particles.
Tianjizi flicked his whisk, and mysterious array flags flew out, forming a net that trapped dozens of vengeful spirits of immortal beasts in another area. He chanted incantations, using supreme Daoist sounds to release their resentment and allow them to return to the world.
The two worked together seamlessly, advancing with unstoppable force and overwhelming momentum.
Finally, after passing through a "time chaos" composed of shattered fragments of time, an indescribably magnificent tomb appeared at the end of their sight.
The tomb, entirely forged from an unknown black divine metal, floated silently in the void, like an ancient behemoth lurking in the darkness.
It is inscribed with countless ancient divine scripts that have long been lost, exuding an aura of supreme dominance and unparalleled supremacy!
Even though they were hundreds of millions of miles apart, Su Chen could feel a terrifying pressure emanating from the tomb that made his heart tremble!
"That is the tomb of the Heavenly Emperor."
"This was once Zuo Qingcang's mausoleum, and even Di Yuan did not know what was inside."
"But I know..."
Tianjizi said solemnly, "The axis of the Heavenly Dao is located at the very core of the tomb."
Su Chen nodded, but his gaze fell on the tightly closed, massive stone door of the tomb.
The stone gate was ten thousand feet high, and carved on it was a majestic emperor statue that stood tall and looked down on all living beings.
Before the stone gate, a figure sat quietly cross-legged.
That figure was also a thousand feet tall, wearing a dark gold divine armor that was already tattered and covered with cracks.
Although his eyes were closed and he showed no signs of life, the terrifying aura emanating from him, which seemed capable of crushing the eternal sky, was more than a hundred times stronger than any monster he had encountered before!
“This is…” Su Chen’s pupils contracted slightly.
"The first divine general under the Heavenly Emperor, and also the last guardian of the ancient Heavenly Court—Zhenyu Canggu." Tianjizi's voice was filled with apprehension.
"Cang Gu? A Divine Realm expert above the Third Ineffable Realm?"
Su Chen's eyelids twitched.
Canggu, Da Luo.
If reaching the summit is considered the fourth realm, then they are considered to be half-steps into the fourth realm.
"good."
"In his lifetime, at his peak, he was indeed an ancient-level being."
Tianjizi nodded, "But he has long since perished, and his strength has been worn away by time, leaving him only as a Golden Immortal."
"His undying fighting spirit and loyalty to the Heavenly Emperor transformed him into a puppet guarding a tomb. His physical body is so strong that it is impervious to all magic; his will is so firm that it is unshakable. He is the last and strongest barrier of the 'Wall of Ten Thousand Immortals'!"
"To enter the tomb, you must first get past him."
"of course."
"With Fellow Daoist Su, this hurdle is not too difficult. I can also mobilize those slumbering Golden Immortals, but they are unwilling to get involved in karma, and they dare not risk being corrupted by Zuo Qingcang, which is why it has been delayed until today."
"Fellow Daoist Su is undoubtedly the number one person in the Star Sea."
“Managing this small town shouldn’t be a problem.”
"He is not even as powerful as Daoist Wanmu!"
The Taoist Master Tianji recounted the story in detail.
In this regard.
Su Chen's gaze fell upon the enormous figure known as "Zhenyu Canggu," and a fierce fighting spirit burned in his eyes.
Was he a powerful figure from ancient times?
Although it was just a fallen puppet, its strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Golden Immortal!
Perfect, this is a good opportunity to test just how far I've come in!
"it is good."
"I will take care of him."
Su Chen looked at Tianjizi.
"Please, Fellow Daoist Su, make your move." Tianjizi formed a hand seal, his expression solemn.
"Do it!"
Su Chen let out a low shout, no longer suppressing his aura!
boom--!!!!!!
A terrifying pressure belonging to the "Taiyi Heavenly Immortal," powerful enough to make all paths submit, suddenly erupted from his body!
He took a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared in front of the Ancient Prison Suppressor. His fist, shining with nine-colored immortal light, carried a terrifying power like the creation of the world and slammed fiercely towards the tightly closed stone door!
He would use the most direct and domineering method to awaken the gates of this tomb, along with this sleeping guardian! (End of Chapter)
