Chapter 548 Unresolved Ancient Regrets
On the star-strewn shore, in the dim universe, a reef floats, indistinct and ancient, difficult to approach.
The faint starlight that falls is insufficient to illuminate the entirety of the island; the light and shadow on the reef are hazy, almost ethereal, and their destination unknown.
One by one, the saints appeared, sensing the unique aura. Each of them was extremely solemn, recognizing the extraordinary nature of this place...
The crimson clouds surged, Candle Dragon Lamp cast beams of divine light, instantly illuminating the entire sea area.
From within the Chaos mist, a tall and exquisitely beautiful figure emerged, her body resonating with the surrounding Dao, her patterns like rain, and countless feather-like lotus leaves drifting down, each one translucent and radiating celestial light.
The Lord of Minglian extended a jade finger, and in an instant, time became chaotic, and the marks of the past were activated!
Suddenly, a dim figure appeared, manifesting on the island reef. It was almost an embodiment of the Great Dao, suppressing the eternal blue sky. It was too blurry to be seen clearly.
With his appearance, the heavens and earth rumbled, all the Daos resonated, and some ancient medicines appeared from the Void, falling in all directions.
"Where did it come from?" None of the sages could see it clearly, as if it had appeared out of thin air.
Even the Nine Phoenix King, who had ascended to the Great Saint position, felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed that unique aura!
This is a mark left behind by an Ancient Emperor!
The air was filled with the fragrance of herbs, and the sky was sparkling with light. Ancient herbs fell from time to time. Dao Yi followed behind, opened his palm, and a Purple Cloud Vine, which was 20,000 years old, flew in, steaming with purple mist, and appeared in his palm.
His golden hair shone brightly, and his eyes held a peculiar expression as he gazed upon this mythical land.
The Life Ancient Tree takes root on the Mythical Shore!
That Immortal Tree originally belonged to Dao Yan Lineage, and was owned by his father...
The Heavenly King -level gray dragon leading the way trembled, respectfully paying homage to the figure, and then recounting what it knew.
It was bestowed with a scroll of the Dragon Emperor Scripture, and having already surrendered to Kunlun, it naturally had nothing to hide.
Ancient Domain, Slaughter Zone, Divine Other Shore... these are interdependent, not independent entities. This place is an important Daoist land, attracting Ancient Domain monarchs to pay homage throughout the ages.
"Islands and reefs are bridges connecting to the dwelling places of the gods. Legend has it that there is a divine sea here. Once you cross it, it means you have gained the approval of heaven and earth and can see the gods and Great Emperor. The other side of the sea is a place that all living beings yearn for!" The gray dragon bowed to the Immortal of the Foreign Realm figure with a look of pilgrimage in its eyes.
From the crowd, Dao Yi stepped forward, bowed to the Lord of Minglian, and said, " Lotus Lord, this place belongs to a Heavenly Venerable from the Mythological Era. These reefs are his Dao platform, the place where he comprehended the Dao, leaving behind indelible traces of his Dao."
Many people were amazed and turned their gazes to Ye Yu, who had received part of the inheritance of the Daode Heavenly Venerable and possessed an ancient artifact of the Dao Venerable.
"Not Daode Heavenly Venerable!"
Ye Yu shook his head. He had sensed the Dao Venerable's aura in the Immortal Palace outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and at the same time, he had some guesses in his heart.
Since that great man came for the Immortal Emperor Weapon, the identity of this illusory figure is self-evident.
After meditating for two days, the Lord of the Deep, took a step, and instantly the space shattered as she walked towards a mysterious ancient land.
This is merely an illusion; the true Bitter Sea for the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable is not here!
The group then headed to another ancient land, still within the Mythological Ancient Domain, not far from Heavenly Venerable Island...
This is a desolate star field, devoid of even a single planet suitable for habitation. The vast starry sky is bleak and barren. Not a single drop of water can be seen, let alone an endless Bitter Sea; there is nothing at all.
This place is incredibly desolate, with very few stars; it is a dead zone of extreme cold and solitude.
The Lord of the Deep's eyes shone brightly as he drew streaks of celestial light with his hands, as if he were propelling the Sun-Moon, and stars forward.
Beside her, an old man with gray hair appeared. He took out an ancient star map, colorful and shaped like a butterfly about half a person's height, radiating a metallic luster and exuding a faint aura of Quasi-Emperor.
A Saint was astonished and recognized this strange creature as the Star Butterfly, one of the divine insects of ancient times, a unique species on par with the God-Slaying Insect.
To be able to create artwork using the Quasi-Emperor Butterfly is a skill that is difficult for others to match.
The next moment, the two Great Saint worked together to activate this special star map. Instantly, five-colored rays of light filled this star field, and a powerful Life essence surged out, outlining the phantom of the Life Ancient Tree.
In the depths of darkness, a vast Bitter Sea looms in the distance, hidden deep within the Ancient Domain, intertwined with countless Dao traces, blurry and indistinct, their outlines indistinct.
"Boom!"
The dark universe shattered, starlight exploded, the twelve-petaled World-Purifying White Lotus rotated, the Daoyan Immortal Robe overflowed with immortal light, the Dao Venerable Golden Lamp shone brightly, and the three Great Saint worked together to tear a hole in that starry sky.
"Rumble rumble rumble!"
Almost instantly, everyone heard the sound of ocean waves sweeping across the sky, as if facing an endless ocean. It was coming from that opening, with powerful waves emanating from it.
The Life and Death Lotus Platform took flight, emitting a brilliant light, and plunged directly into that world.
The gap in the starry sky widened, revealing parts of the vast ocean, a sight that was awe-inspiring. This was a Heaven Domain hidden in the Void, a real space, a part of the universe, now manifesting.
Nine Phoenix King and Eternal Great Saint also made their move once again. The two Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon unleashed a soaring supreme pressure, completely shattering the barrier and opening up a vast entrance to the Heaven Domain.
"It has appeared! It truly is a Bitter Sea, but through it we can reach the Other Shore!"
The Gray Heavenly King was excited; the rumors from those Ancient Domain were actually true—there really was Mythical Shore.
If that's the case, then the opposite bank is the dwelling place of the gods, containing the hope of Longevity!
The place was in an uproar; all the expeditionary starships glowed and combined to form an anti-air formation, beginning to fix this area in place.
The Torch Dragon roared to the heavens, Lord of the Deep, with his ethereal aura, rode out on the dragon and entered that mysterious space.
This is a vast and boundless ocean, the most primordial sea of heaven and earth. Compared to it, an individual is too insignificant, not even a speck of dust. It feels like arriving at the end of the universe.
As the saints entered one after another, they were all shaken. This place was truly enormous. Was this still an ocean? It was comparable in size to a star field, with stars floating and sinking in the sea!
This sight was unheard of and unseen before. Numerous large stars swirled in the sky, some of which fell into the sea, creating waves tens of thousands of miles high. It was terrifying beyond measure.
"Almost mythical, this sea can swallow stars; it's no smaller than even the Mythological Ancient Domain!"
The old master of Blood Phoenix Mountain was amazed, his eyes burning with fervor.
With the Nine Phoenix King present, who in this group can stand against him?
In this Lifetime, they are destined to rise above other royal families.
This is a continuation of the universe, a vast space that has never been discovered before, which can be called the Starfield Sea, and it is too magnificent and boundless.
The seawater was black, and there was a mysterious power within it that made all the saints' hearts tremble. There was even a part of the essence of Taiyin contained in the Bitter Sea.
Suddenly, everyone felt a tremendous fluctuation. The Great Dao was roaring, as if a thousand troops were charging, and countless Life were appearing outside the starry sky.
Three rulers of the Ancient Domain appeared: the Golden Toad, the Celestial Dog, and the Roc.
These three beast kings possessed powerful auras, and their troops Shrouding the Heavens, forming a dark, overwhelming mass, like a tidal wave of ferocious beasts, ready to come and claim a share of the spoils.
This territory belongs to Kunlun!
With a cold gaze, the Nine Phoenix King returned from the Heavenly Venerable's Bitter Sea, holding a three-colored golden lamp, and stood in front of the three Great Saint.
"Your Excellency is being far too domineering. You are merely outsiders. Now that the Other Shore is about to open, we should have a place here..." The Golden Toad Great Saint frowned, preparing to argue.
"Although the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon is powerful, it is not invincible. Kunlun is not the only one with an Emperor Weapon!" On the other side, an ancient war chariot drove over, its surface mottled with Dao traces and surrounded by awe-inspiring battle aura.
The Heavenly Peng Great Saint spoke, his eyes sharp and piercing. They had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for this moment.
"Buzz!"
A cluster of blazing purple flames erupted, terrifying beyond compare, transforming into a ring of flames that completely enveloped the area. The overwhelming pressure sealed everything off, sending chills down one's spine.
At the same time, a gigantic purple flame handprint Shrouding the Heavens, radiating power in all directions. The violent energy directly annihilated space, and stars vanished, turning into embers in the blazing purple flames.
The three Great Saint paled and hurriedly used their abilities to block, but they were still no match for the attack of the Emperor's weapon. They all coughed up blood and were sent flying.
"This place belongs to Kunlun!" Nine Phoenix King said coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent, repeating his words.
"You..."
The Golden Toad Great Saint Sage's expression was filled with resentment and venom. He wanted to say something more, but then his wings were etched with patterns, and the Taichu immortal light surged. A slender jade hand stretched out, surrounded by the Life and Death Dao Source, and struck down with a palm.
A piercing scream rang out, and all living beings in the Ancient Domain trembled, their hearts turning icy cold.
This was an ancient "king," and yet he has fallen today!
"Those who disobey will be killed!"
The cold voice was like a knife, slashing at everyone's heart, making them shiver involuntarily, as if they were in darkness, with the shadow of death looming at any moment.
With a backhand gesture, the Nine Phoenix King took away the Dao Venerable Golden Lamp. Wherever his gaze swept, everyone retreated, not daring to look him in the eye.
The unruly Golden Roc and the Heavenly Dog fled far away, not daring to utter a single harsh word, their hearts filled with extreme fear.
Subsequently, one space fortress after another rose from the ground, and the technology of the Eternal Star Domain, combined with the Dao traces of cultivators, completely sealed off this starfield.
The Heavenly Venerable's Bitter Sea was fraught with danger, Lord of the Deep and the Eternal Great Saint discussed it and decided not to attempt to cross the sea.
The ruler of that Divine Domain was virtually invincible below the Quasi-Emperor, and with the added blessing of the Lingbao Formation Diagram, he was no easy opponent.
In the following period, Nine Phoenix King, wielding an imperial artifact, led a group of Ancient Saint to conquer a small portion of the Ancient Domain's territory. Afterward, they searched for spatial artifacts and used the Five-Colored Stone they carried to construct Domain Gate, intending to connect the Ancient Domain with the Ziwei Star Domain.
During this process, Lord of the Deep, riding the Torch Dragon to the Thirtieth Pass of the Human Race, which was adjacent to the Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star...
After traversing the Human Race Ancient Road for some time, this person originally intended to head to the Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star, but then a sudden inspiration struck, and they flew directly towards the front of the Human Race Ancient Road.
This journey is fraught with danger; we need to borrow a magical artifact to be safe!
At this time, Ye Fan was at the height of his fame.
The Human Sacred Body reappeared after a period of 100,000 years of silence, reappearing on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, killing the city's Grand Commander and beheading the enforcers' sons and nephews, making a powerful entrance and transforming into a storm.
This news was like a torrent, sweeping across the heavens and earth, surging towards the Starry Sky Ancient Road, and becoming known to the world.
After obtaining Ye Fan's exact location, the Lord of the Deep directly opened the Domain Gate and descended from behind to the Third Pass of the Human Clan, directly shaking this ancient city.
Unlike the Great Pass behind, the guide from the ancient city in front was only at the peak of the Saint King, and he showed great humility in the face of the Great Saint's arrival.
Inside the city, Ye Fan looked at the Chaos light in the starry sky and felt a sense of familiarity.
The next moment, an extremely concentrated essence of the Saint King's blood flew out, contained in a jade pot, and landed smoothly in front of Ye Fan.
At the same time, a bracelet made of Feathered Green Gold flew out and landed in his hand, displaying dazzling Flying Immortal patterns that were even more brilliant than the stars.
"I intend to use this sword to kill the Golden Crow Quasi-Emperor!"
Ye Fan stared blankly, his expression blank. He held the jade pot filled with the essence blood of the Saint King in one hand and the Feathered Green Gold Bracelet in the other, completely stunned by those words.
Borrowing a sword is understandable... but to kill the Golden Crow Quasi-Emperor!
Information on the Void Origin Network suggests that Fire Mulberry Star currently appears to have only one emperor.
In ancient times, Da Yi shot down nine suns; their father was a Quasi-Emperor...
Afterwards, the Candle-Bearing Dragon departed, and the Third City of the Human Clan returned to peace. Many prodigies harbored jealousy and resentment towards the Sacred Body.
Who would respect someone who relies on connections or backing?
