The Alien Race's Conspiracy!
A vast Sword Light, bright enough to illuminate the sky, cleaved down, turning countless Alien Race lurking in the sky into a rain of blood.
You've already guessed who the person behind is: Qin Wangchuan.
Only he has that kind of strength.
But you didn't look back, you just kept running.
[Entering the Immortal Path - Day 57]
For a day and a night, Sword Light flew by incessantly, and Alien Race fell one after another.
But those Alien Race seemed endless, impossible to kill completely.
Fortunately, those Alien Race probably didn't focus their attention on you because they thought you were relatively weak.
You hear a voice behind you. "Heavenly Sword!"
Looking back, a massive Heavenly Sword descended from the sky, cleaving through the clouds, and numerous Alien Race flew towards it, seemingly trying to block it.
But in the next moment, they all turned to ashes.
But just then...
The Three-Eyed Alien made its move.
"The time has come," you heard it say.
Then, a huge crack appeared in the ground.
Countless more Alien Race emerged from it, and their auras were much stronger than before.
"Is there an ambush?" you wondered to yourself, before you could think about it further.
"Boom--!!!"
The sudden shockwave from the explosion threw you into the air, and you crashed heavily to the ground, your consciousness gradually fading.
In a daze, you see a Black Nail appear in the hand of the Three-Eyed Alien and shoot towards the distant figure.
But Qin Wangchuan had already sensed it, and he rushed forward with a flying sword, shattering both the Black Nail and the flying sword.
Another shockwave from the explosion followed.
You were thrown hundreds of feet again, struggling...
The scene before you shakes your soul, almost suffocating you.
The road ahead is blocked.
At the edge of the broken cliff, rubble tumbled down and plunged into the endless Abyssal Void.
However--
At the end of that broken road, a colossal head, comparable to a mountain, gradually emerged from the chaotic mist.
The head resembled a dragon's head, but it had six pairs of curved horns, each horn wrapped with remnants of broken chains.
Its aura was extremely faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, yet it still carried an awe-inspiring antiquity and desolation.
Its body was shaped like a continuous mountain range, its face was covered with Star Remnants- like scales, its eyes were closed, and the scales had long since dried up and broken, revealing the flesh and blood that shimmered with starlight beneath.
Countless thick, jet-black chains, engraved with runes, extended from several massive Stone Tablet at the end, tightly binding and piercing its enormous head!
The chains writhed slowly like living things, each movement drawing immense energy from the Giant Beast and causing it endless pain.
The World Devouring Beast! The ancient being that the Shen Clan has protected for generations, and which ultimately brought about its annihilation! It still exists!
An overwhelming sense of grief and sorrow welled up in your heart, almost bringing tears to your eyes.
"I see..." Your throat tightened, as if you understood something.
"The World Devouring Beast has always been beneath our feet."
The Immortal Path was cut off long ago.
The Ji Clan captured the World Devouring Beast in order to create another path on this broken road. Although it wouldn't lead to the end, they could ride it to break through the boundary and fly to the other side of the Immortal Path.
This is a Blood Path, carved out of the void with the flesh and blood of Giant Beast as its foundation!
Calming your turbulent emotions, you dragged your injured body to your feet and found the largest Stone Tablet located beneath the Giant Beast's head.
The Stone Tablet is dilapidated, but you know, that's the key to lifting the seal.
How could an ancient being like the World Devouring Beast be trapped by others?
Therefore, this is a form of self-imposed constraint, a constraint designed to protect the Shen Clan.
These chains were none other than those set up by the Shen Clan family themselves, all for the sake of an agreement—
You dragged your crippled body forward, limping, muttering:
"Today, you sacrifice yourself to save the Shen Clan. Once the Shen Clan is at peace, someone will come to return your freedom."
"If one year isn't enough, then a hundred; if a hundred years isn't enough, then a thousand; if a thousand years isn't enough, then ten thousand. Passed down through generations, the flame will never be extinguished—this is the unwavering Blood Oath of the Shen Clan!"
As you spoke, you raised your head, the pain in your body seemingly vanishing, and walked firmly toward the Stone Tablet, speaking:
"Now that the Shen Clan is safe and sound, Ji Clan has been destroyed, I will fulfill my promise and grant you freedom, and... the freedom of the Shen Clan."
It'll be soon.
It'll be soon.
You raise your hand, just as your fingertips are about to touch the Stone Tablet—
"That's commendable; this is your most recent achievement."
"Mortal."
A ghostly voice suddenly whispers in your ear.
You froze, feeling your gaze suddenly rise higher. Looking down, you saw your body still leaning forward, but a fountain of blood gushed from your neck.
A figure in a scarlet robe stands beside your headless corpse, your blood still dripping from their fingertips.
"I... am dead?"
Your head tumbles through the air, yet you can still think.
No, no, no, no, no!
There was no fear, only endless regret surging like a tide—so close, so very close!
If I had been just a step faster, if I had taken fewer injuries, if...
His head plummeted into the endless abyss beneath the Immortal Path to immortality.
In the final moments before your consciousness faded, you finally saw the truth.
At the bottom of the abyss, dozens of Alien Race priests sat around a Blood Altar.
Several crimson tentacles extended from the altar, greedily drawing in the starlight-like blood of the World Devouring Beast and injecting it into the crack in the center of the altar.
On the other side of the rift, countless Alien Race gathered like a tide, their scarlet eyes greedily fixed on the direction of the Ten Directions Immortal Court...
"I see..."
Your unfocused pupils contracted sharply.
No wonder the Alien Race suddenly invaded; it turns out it was these damned Alien Race who actually used the flesh and blood of the World Devouring Beast to break through the World Barrier!
The appearance of Alien Race will surely bring Great Calamity to the Ten Directions Immortal Court.
The last thought flickered like a candle in the wind: 'I must tell someone... I must...'
'This... has...'
Darkness completely engulfed you.
