Space-Time Secret Realm Truth
As you travel along, all you see are ruins. You can sense that this mysterious scene has the ability to self-repair, but some Void Rift and some Earth Abyss have not yet fully healed.
Wang Xuan frowned deeply. The Daoist principles and rules left here were all ambiguous and had become unrecognizable after being repaired by the mysterious scene itself.
At least for now, there is no clear evidence that a group of old friends once fought a brutal battle here.
However, when he thought of the fragment of the Chaos Stone that the Hell Black Ant had brought out from the deeper depths, his heart sank again. He hoped that the supreme treasure, the Divine Palace, had not been destroyed.
Although the territory was vast, all those who came here were Immortal-Grade Creature; there were no weaklings, and their speed was extremely fast. Wang Xuan traversed the area, feeling as if he had traveled tens of thousands of miles, yet it seemed to be only a portion of this new region's territory.
Along the way, he saw some Heavenly Grade Being who had the same idea as him, following behind the Super Peerless and taking the safe path.
Finally, they arrived at the most crucial area. A thick fog appeared, blurring the scene. The Hell Black Ant and an elderly human had already arrived and were discussing something, but did not go in immediately.
Finally, they joined forces with the Green Ram Sword Immortal and the Black Bull Saber Immortal. After a conversation, they unexpectedly broke in together, causing a thick fog to billow.
Next, the most formidable fugitive from Meteor Sea arrived. After leaving a few subordinates behind, he went inside alone.
"Can you smell it? There's a strong medicinal fragrance in the fog. Without a doubt, there are many good things inside. The heavenly herbs that the Grandmaster of the Thieves' Realm picked, as well as the rare medicines that can transform people into Super Peerless, must have all been found here."
Some Heavenly Grade Expert were unwilling to give up and discussed the matter in the outer area of the fog. In the end, some people formed a team and cautiously ventured inside.
Soon, those people lost contact, disappearing without a trace. The thick fog blocked everything out, and no one knew what was happening inside.
Some frowned, extremely cautious, and ultimately chose to turn and leave. Others, either joining forces or traveling alone, disappeared into the depths of the fog.
Only a few onlookers remained in place.
Without any hesitation, Wang Xuan flashed into the thick fog.
"I feel like a Demon Immortals just went in. Are all young people these days so fierce and fearless?" an old man sighed. As a powerful expert in the Late Heavenly Demon Stage, he didn't dare to move.
"They're just ignorant and arrogant. Going in means certain death, and they won't be able to get out," a Heavenly Grade Demon Insect that looked like an ant said calmly.
"Fellow Daoists, please be quiet. Perhaps that is an extraordinary person who is deliberately concealing himself. You just haven't seen through him. I think he is very composed."
The scene fell silent. The Heavenly Grade Demon Insect felt a chill of fear; it was quite possible that it had encountered an ancient extraordinary person who had embarked on the path of Dao-imperialized.
With a bang, the extraordinary Wang Xuan exploded, his Immortal Blood splattering everywhere. This fog was too unusual, hiding special Mist Silk that contained Daoist rules.
He touched it, couldn't avoid it, and thus exploded first as a sign of respect.
Fortunately, he was resilient and his life force was strong. Even Immortal-Grade Creature don't die so easily, but he still had to use the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Art once in order to fully recover.
Wang Xuan became much more cautious. The killing formation diagram was imbued with chaotic energy, and he was also clutching a short Dao Control Banner in his hand. Having arrived in an unknown area, he could not predict what would happen next.
Even if unclaimed contraband suddenly appeared, Wang Xuan wouldn't be surprised, as he sensed the lingering, obscure Dao Principle Afterglow in this area.
This was clearly left behind by an incredibly terrifying treasure, possessing immense power. Back then, this place was an extremely important battlefield, and the ruins we saw along the way earlier now appear to be merely the result of its influence.
"Help me..." A terrified cry came from ahead. Wang Xuan's Spiritual Heavenly Eye were now fully open, not missing even a Mist Silk, so he naturally saw the scenery in the distance.
Those were two Heavenly Grade Experts. One of them was swallowed up by a suddenly appearing spatial rift, and half of his body was immediately gone, startling his companion into retreating.
"This is a crack left by contraband, and it still bears the imprint of the Supreme Rule? I am powerless to help it," the person outside the crack said in a trembling voice, retreating continuously.
Within the void rift, the Mid Heavenly Grade Realm human transcendent was rendered speechless. A stream of light flowed—the intact rules left behind by the forbidden item—and melted him away.
"Brother Dao, may you have a safe journey. I truly have the will but not the strength." The other person fled the area, his face pale.
Wang Xuan passed by without stopping. If an extraordinary person is content with the status quo, they can live a long time. But if they want to break through their current level, they should go out and seek opportunities to break through. It is not surprising that they died like this.
"Ah..." A shrill scream came from ahead. The three celestial demons exploded together, and even though they possessed a mysterious Resurrection Art, they could not come back to life.
The area still bears the remnants of Sword Array, which remains effective to this day. When they stepped into it, the three of them were instantly cleaved in two, and when their flesh and spirit reassembled, they were shredded to pieces once more.
At this point, Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. In this area, even the lives of celestial demons were insignificant; they could die at any moment.
The main problem was that this battlefield was too unusual, exceeding all the remnants of major battles that Wang Xuan had ever seen before; it was practically a death trap.
The rules regarding the presence of prohibited items are still in effect, intertwined in the void—who can stand that?
After witnessing the bloodshed firsthand, some of the nearby Celestial-level creatures all fled. If this continues, no one will be able to leave alive.
Wang Xuan pressed on resolutely. Along the way, a celestial herb rooted in a rift in the void emitted an intoxicating fragrance. He had actually seen this rare and wondrous thing on the road.
However, that crack is very unstable. Inside it is a terrifying light, interwoven with textures. If it is even slightly triggered, a terrible event of Great Collapse will inevitably occur.
"Another mark left by a contraband item, still lingering to this day. Those people went all out back then, completely insane in their killing spree, and the Supreme Rule they left behind actually gave birth to celestial medicine."
Wang Xuan ignored him and continued walking. He saw figures blurring and almost turning into mist; they were a few Heavenly Grade Expert who had not yet retreated.
He looked down at himself. Fortunately, despite being shrouded in the killing array diagram, he was not blurred or fogged up; he remained in a normal state.
With a bang, Wang Xuan's sleeves billowed, and the array diagram glowed, blocking an attack from the remnants of the Dao principles, but the surrounding space collapsed.
This triggered a chain reaction; a void rift not far away collapsed, and the precious treasure patterns left inside burst forth with a bang.
Without uttering a sound, Wang Xuan turned and ran, activating the array diagram and transforming into a stream of light as he left. Behind him, the Supreme Texture intertwined, causing large swathes of space to collapse and annihilate.
He didn't know how far he had walked, but it felt like he had traversed a starry sky. Wang Xuan arrived at a very important area where the thick fog had dissipated considerably.
Ahead, there was a huge mountain, tens of thousands of feet high. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a Broken Mountain, and its original scale must have been incredibly majestic.
An Ancient Buildings, with a unique style, is suspended on the Broken Mountain, not far from the cross-section, and is completely silent.
This is strange. Back then, the upper half of the massive mountain was split off by people. How did those ancient buildings survive?
Hell Black Ant, Green Ram Sword Immortal, Human Elder, Black Bull Saber Immortal, and the Strongest Fugitive of the Meteorite Sea —five Super Peerless— stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up and arguing fiercely about something.
Wang Xuan concealed his presence with an array diagram, hiding in the thick fog, and did not approach.
The world was dark and shrouded in mist when suddenly the silent buildings on the mountain lit up with faint lights, followed by a string of Supreme Texture that floated down.
The Hell Black Ant and the Green Ram Sword Immortal felt their hair stand on end and were ready to dodge at any moment, but instead of thinking about escaping, their eyes were filled with eager anticipation.
Wang Xuan's heart trembled violently. What was that? The light patterns emitted by contraband. Was there an unclaimed treasure in that silent building?
"Can you sense the aura of those treasures you've pierced?" Wang Xuan secretly communicated with the Dao Control Banner.
In recent years, the Dao Control Banner has been "resting" and communicating and integrating with the rules of the Supernatural Central World. At this time, it is emitting fluctuations that are imperceptible to outsiders, telling him that nothing has been discovered yet.
Finally, the five masters, including Hell Black Ant and Green Ram Sword Immortal, floated up together and headed towards the highest point of Broken Mountain, their target being the buildings that had fallen silent once more.
The distance of tens of thousands of feet was no different from taking a single step for them, but what they needed to be extra cautious about was the existence of cracks in the void.
These cracks, forged by precious artifacts, remain unhealed and harbor Killing Intent. As the five masters approached, the fog dissipated, revealing a glowing void and revealing even more fissures!
Later, they simply started hiking up the mountain because many of the large cracks in the air had been marked with the imprints of precious artifacts, making it very dangerous.
The five people successfully climbed the mountain and reached the Broken Mountain. Once they got close enough, everything changed; the once lifeless buildings began to glow.
Most terrifyingly, in their central area, where there was originally nothingness, a colossal and magnificent temple appeared out of thin air.
It stands in the void, as if it were the core of the entire Space-Time Secret Realm, every brick and tile of which is golden, flowing with boundless sacred radiance.
It is like a physical entity, and also like the manifestation of the Supreme Rule.
Most importantly, the entire Divine Temple, which is as large as a mountain, is covered with mottled murals with lifelike scenes. The painting skills are many times better than the primitive hunting scenes seen on rocks outside. This is a work of art that is almost a masterpiece.
Just a moment later, even though they were far apart and Wang Xuan was still in the foggy area, his primordial spirit almost involuntarily left his body, with an urge to fly into the dazzling Golden Building.
"They're sucking us in! This magnificent temple is so strange!"
The human elder who had been with the Hell Black Ant exclaimed in disbelief that he possessed a Nine-story Immortal Pagoda, which was actually Quasi-Contraband Item.
It's not quite a treasure yet, but it's still amazing enough. It's a terrifying weapon, flowing with the power of rules and radiating a terrifying Daoist aura.
Even so, this Quasi-Contraband Item could not resist the call from within the Golden Sacred Temple; their bodies became blurred, about to disappear into the murals.
In the distance, Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. Five Super Peerless treasure were showing signs of falling into the central holy temple. It was terrifying.
"I sense it. There is great fortune here, and there are unclaimed contraband items. But what exactly is going on with this Golden Sacred Temple?" Black Bull Saber Immortal mooed, emitting a deep, resonant Rule Divine Sound, as he struggled against it.
At this moment, they were very unwilling and did not want to escape, but if they continued, they risked becoming people in the murals.
The Green Ram Sword Immortal said, "Everyone, did you see that? On those mottled walls, the paintings tell an amazing and shocking story. The first part seems to be the Path to Becoming a Saint, but he has a flaw, and the murals after that are not clear."
"Ah, the old stories of the True Saint Domain! Wow, even if it's risky, and I might become a part of the painting, I have to see it carefully!" The strongest interstellar fugitive in the Meteorite Sea was extremely excited.
"You can't see it; the latter half of the murals in that area has been hidden," the Green Ram Sword Immortal informed him.
"The mural on the second wall tells the story of... an encounter Extraterrestrial Civilization from different universes, involving three parties, who engaged in a fierce battle."
Despite the risk of becoming a figure in the painting, Black Bull Saber Immortal observed the scene on the other wall and was quite shocked. He said, "This is a true story from the past. Those people, those extraterrestrial visitors, entered this wall?"
"I understand. One of the factions does indeed come from the Saint's Hometown. Now, someone from their Mother Universe has emerged again, bringing with them a sacred mountain, Immortal Island, and Divine Temple. This sacred mountain, and that magnificent ancient temple, are most likely the Place of Enlightenment. This dazzling Golden Sacred Temple has been refined into a forbidden item by the descendants of the Saint's Hometown!"
"That's right, this place was once the site of a three-way battle. One of the parties was from the Saint's Hometown. In the end, they were no match for their opponents and activated this sacred artifact, bringing everyone into the mural!"
"That's right, the story in the painting isn't over yet; it seems to be unfolding. They're fighting in the mural, and we absolutely mustn't get caught up in it, or... we'll be in grave danger!"
Five Super Peerless risked their lives to view the murals here, uncovering part of the truth.
"There are contraband items lost outside, in those buildings. I want to try to get closer!" said the Hell Black Ant.
The five people struggled to break free from the pull of the mural, and as their bodies became semi-blurred, they headed toward a tall building outside the temple.
As a result, a terrifying beam of light shot out, interwoven with the Supreme Texture. The unclaimed contraband was attacking the five masters, who dodged in an instant.
"Awooo..." A shrill scream rang out, sending chills down one's spine. From the once silent buildings surrounding the temple, countless figures leaped out, all of them Living Corpse!
The leaders were actually two Super Peerless!
At the same time, another beam of light from a prohibited item shot out, nearly hitting the human elder next to the Hell Black Ant.
The old man tried his best to evade it and even used a quasi-treasure to pull out the mysterious forbidden item.
With a "poof," a beam of light flew out, dimming the Nine-story Immortal Pagoda in his hand. Another hit would probably cause it to explode.
This near-divine treasure cannot be activated for the time being.
The old man was horrified and said, "Everyone, we can't stop it! That unclaimed contraband item is of extremely high level. It's estimated that it can compete for a top-six ranking after entering the Supernatural Central World."
Then he turned and ran away.
Seeing this, the other four powerful figures had no choice but to flee as well. They dared not fly in the void, as there were void rifts everywhere, teeming with Killing Intent.
They fled along the Broken Mountain, Shrink Ground into Inches each time. Behind them, the entire mountainside was overwhelmed by Living Corpse, with at least two Super Peerless ghosts leading the pursuit.
Chaos has broken out here; it's a terrifying sight!
"What should we do? They've become the people in the murals?" Wang Xuan didn't run away. Instead, he avoided the monsters and the five powerful figures. He took a detour, intending to climb the mountain to take a look.
If our old friend is truly trapped here, we must rescue him.
Finally, he climbed the mountain, activated the killing formation diagram, held the Resurrected Dao Control Banner in both hands, and gazed intently at the magnificent Golden Sacred Temple with deep eyes.
"Can you sense the familiar aura of this supreme treasure?" Wang Xuan asked the Dao Control Banner again.
