Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie did not expect that there would be remnants of the Underworld within this shattered True World space.

Could this be one of the many Underworlds of that real world from the Primordial Era?

Near the bridgehead, there was also a rusty cauldron, cast from unknown material, containing half a pot of murky liquid.

"Could this be the legendary Meng Po Soup?"

Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin stepped forward, looking at the liquid in the pot, which was turbid and disgusting.

On the edge of the cauldron, there were two decaying skeletal hands tightly gripping the rim.

They went around to the opposite side of the pot and saw a skeleton, the bone structure relatively slender. From the shape of the pelvis, they could discern that the skeleton was a female in life.

There were five holes in this woman's skull, which should be the cause of her death.

"Could she be Meng Po?"

Mu Ciyin looked at the skeletal face from the side, the upper and lower jaws were opened wide, indicating that she was in great pain when she died, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

"Unable to determine, perhaps she is."

Based on the current information, the identity of the skeleton cannot be determined, but the probability of it being Meng Po is very high.

She was killed, and from the scene, she had almost no power to fight back, and didn't even react.

They continued to walk towards the depths of the Underworld ruins. Along the way, there were many more skeletons, and traces of battles were everywhere. The ground or objects in some places were stained with a deep green color.

Jun Wuxie was most sensitive to this kind of thing.

That was Abyss Plague!

What made him feel strange was that since the Abyss Plague had appeared here, why did the high-level members of the Underworld all leave behind such skeletons after their deaths, without undergoing plague transformation?

Jun Wuxie looked at this vast ruin, full of devastation and corpses. It was hard to imagine what a terrible event had happened back then.

This was an extremely ancient history, long buried in the river of time, with no information left in later generations.

Just as he was about to leave the Underworld ruins, Jun Wuxie suddenly looked towards the deepest part of the Underworld.

The mist there was very thick, making it impossible to see the scene there.

That was originally just a small area, and Jun Wuxie hadn't paid attention to it, but now he was staring at it intently.

"Wuxie, what's wrong?"

Seeing him like this, Mu Ciyin also looked at that area, but did not see anything unusual.

"There are footsteps, very neat."

Jun Wuxie said softly, which made Mu Ciyin feel a chill down her spine. She listened and sensed carefully, but still found nothing.

As soon as he finished speaking, figures walked out of the mist.

They were humanoid beings wearing gray armor, holding white bone spears, their entire bodies covered in armor, only revealing some of their faces and eyes.

Their faces were without any blood, their eyes were hollow, and they exuded a strong aura of death.

"Are those Underworld Yin Soldiers?"

Jun Wuxie's pupils shrank slightly. Had those Yin Soldiers discovered him and Mu Ciyin, and were looking here? Their hollow eyes were terrifying.

He wanted to retreat, but suddenly felt that something was wrong!

It was as if a force was pulling him and affecting his mind, making him have a strong desire not to leave.

He discovered that this power and will actually came from inside the Star of Life!

What exactly is inside the Star of Life?

He was very puzzled, why didn't the Star of Life let him leave, and even affected his mind?

"Wuxie, let's leave."

Being stared at by those Yin Soldiers like this, Mu Ciyin felt cold all over, as if cold wind was pouring into her bones.

She realized that those Yin Soldiers were terrifying, otherwise their mere gazes wouldn't have caused her such a sense of horror.

However, the Yin Soldiers did not come over, but only stared at them from the edge of the misty area.

"That's not right, the strong of the Underworld all died in that era, how could there still be Yin Soldiers surviving? Besides, after these endless years, what Yin Soldiers could survive such a long time?"

Jun Wuxie felt incredible. He now had too many questions and shocks in his mind, whether it was the reaction inside the Star of Life or the Yin Soldiers in the distant misty area.

He clearly felt that the Yin Soldiers had a strong killing intent towards him and Master Ciyin, but they did not come over, did not leave.

The realm of those Yin Soldiers must be ridiculously high, so strong that it was unimaginable!

Such powerful Yin Soldiers, even in this broken True World space, could kill them instantly from a great distance with just their eyes, but the Yin Soldiers didn't do so. What was going on?

"Wuxie, I have a very bad premonition. This place is too dangerous, we should leave quickly!"

Mu Ciyin was tense all over, tightly holding Jun Wuxie's hand.

Her bad premonition came from the feedback given to her by the dual Dao Fruits in her body regarding danger.

Even the Dao Fruits were afraid of this place, one can imagine how huge the danger hidden here is.

Hearing this, Jun Wuxie tried to summon the Vermilion Bird again, but still did not receive a response, as if the Vermilion Bird was no longer in the Eternal Life Divine Palace.

"Go!"

After failing to summon Aunt You several times, Jun Wuxie realized that there might really be great danger here, so much so that even the Heavenly Emperor was unwilling to appear, most likely triggering some great karma!

His and Mu Ciyin's strength was really not enough, taking advantage of the fact that no danger had yet befallen, leaving quickly was the wise choice.

However, when he wanted to turn around and leave, he found that his feet seemed to have taken root, fixed in place, unable to lift his feet despite his best efforts.

"Wuxie?"

Seeing that he was not moving and his expression was not right, Mu Ciyin couldn't help but feel surprised.

"We can't leave."

Jun Wuxie shook his head and said, "My feet can't move, they're fixed by an unknown force."

Mu Ciyin immediately tried to take a step, and found that she had not encountered this situation.

She tried to pull Jun Wuxie hard, but couldn't move him, and couldn't help but become anxious.

"Master Ciyin, leave quickly, don't worry about me!"

Jun Wuxie wanted to break free from her hand, but found that she was holding it very tightly.

"How could I leave you behind? Even if we both die here today, I will not leave alone."

At this moment, Mu Ciyin calmed down instead, looking at him with clear and cold eyes. At this moment, all fear seemed to disappear.

At this moment, the ground beneath their feet disappeared strangely and quickly, and all the surrounding scenes disappeared.

The earth became a void, and so did the surroundings, boundless, pitch black, as if they were in the dark and cold dead starry sky.

"Interesting, this Ancestor knew that you wouldn't perish so easily, and would always leave something behind. Billions of years, what a long time, We have been guarding against you leaving a backhand, and today this Ancestor has finally waited."

A cold voice came from the depths of the dark and dead endless void. At the moment each word sounded, terrible scenes of worlds shattering and universes collapsing appeared in the depths of the void, and the dark and terrifying will swept over like a tide.

Mu Ciyin's delicate body shook violently. Under this dark will, she instantly broke out in cold sweat like rain, and then a myriad of worlds of creation and ancient universes of endless ice and snow appeared behind her. Her whole person became sacred and majestic at this moment, with unspeakable Great Dao order lingering on her body.

Mysterious power overflowed from Jun Wuxie's Star of Life, enveloping him and obliterating the impact of that terrifying sound.

He looked in shock at the depths of the dark void. Who was speaking, saying that they had been waiting for billions of years? Could it be a Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse from the Dark Universe?

"Hmph, you want to block this Ancestor. Vermilion Bird Emperor, even if this Ancestor reflects a Dharma body across endless universes, no one can stop it!"

A voice came again from the depths of the void.

"Aunt You?"

Jun Wuxie's face changed drastically.

No wonder summoning Aunt You didn't get a response, it turned out that she really wasn't in the Eternal Life Divine Palace, she was fighting with dark powerhouses in an unknown time and space!

Chirp!

A loud Vermilion Bird cry came from the depths of the dark void.

Immediately afterwards, a golden-red light bloomed at the end of the void.

Rumble!

The vast and endless void kept shaking, making a roaring sound.

"Very good, the Vermilion Bird Emperor does have some strength, and can be regarded as a top powerhouse among the Heavenly Emperors, forcibly tearing a gap in the universe space constructed by this Ancestor. It's a pity that you burned your own Heavenly Emperor essence blood to achieve this effect, it's meaningless. Submit to the darkness, come to this Ancestor's seat, and this Ancestor will grant you the position of Heavenly General!"

"A Dharma body reflected by a false body dares to speak wildly, with me here, you can't hurt him!"

The Vermilion Bird's majestic and cold voice resounded in this constructed universe.

Almost at the same time, a golden light flashed, and the Vermilion Bird's figure appeared in Jun Wuxie's sight.

"Aunt You!"

Jun Wuxie shouted loudly, his voice trembling.

"Young Master, don't worry, Aunt You is fine."

The Vermilion Bird did not look back, only leaving her back to Jun Wuxie.

Her body was burning with Vermilion Bird divine flames, and dense Great Dao order shuttled across her body like golden chains.

Jun Wuxie didn't see the Vermilion Bird's pale face or the crimson blood on the corners of her mouth and on her clothes in front of her.

"Submit, don't make futile struggles."

In the depths of the dark void, a tall figure walked over, crossing endless distances in an instant, and appeared in front of the Vermilion Bird.

That was a middle-aged man surrounded by dark order.

He was tall and burly, wearing a gray robe, with thick black hair scattered, and his dark eyes seemed to be able to see through the heavens for all time.

He stretched out his palm, and a dark energy ball condensed between his palms.

In that spherical energy, there were scenes of the heavens and universes collapsing, and endless order annihilating.

"This Emperor said, as long as this Emperor is here, you can't hurt him!"

The Vermilion Bird's voice was cold, and the Vermilion Bird divine flames on her body became even more blazing, and the golden order rang like metal chains.

"This Ancestor sees your extraordinary talent and wishes to guide you into the embrace of darkness, yet you fail to appreciate my goodwill. If you continue to fight, your origin will collapse, leaving behind an Emperor's Dao injury, causing you to fall from this realm, never to recover," the gray-robed figure said indifferently.

"Aunt You, leave quickly! Don't fight him!"

Jun Wuxie had not felt such fear for many years, but at this moment, he was terrified.

He was afraid of seeing those he cared about perish because of him!

In the past, he always thought the Heavenly Emperor was invincible, but he was wrong!

Today, he had actually encountered the Dark Ancestor!

Even though it was just a virtual projection of the Dark Ancestor's dharma form, such an existence must have surpassed the Heavenly Emperor realm.

"Young Master, don't be afraid. Aunt You can protect you well."

The Vermilion Bird still did not turn back, her voice gentle and firm.

"No! He is the Dark Ancestor! Leave now, take my master with you, and don't worry about me, otherwise none of us will be able to escape!"

Jun Wuxie was anxious. If death was unavoidable, he could face it calmly, but he could never accept watching those around him die for his sake!

"Hmm, now that things have come to this, you must already know his origins. Today, he is destined to die, and all your hopes will be shattered. Since you have already seen the outcome, why bother with futile struggles?"

The Dark Ancestor's virtual dharma form was not in a hurry to attack. His intention was clear: to shatter the hope in the Vermilion Bird's heart, enticing her to embrace the darkness.

"Enough nonsense! You Dark Ancestors will one day be eternally silenced!"

As the Vermilion Bird spoke, she manifested her true form. Her massive body obscured the endless starry sky. With a spread of her wings, strands of Vermilion Bird divine flames detached, coalescing into a divine flame battle blade that blazed with heavenly fire.

"It seems you are determined to seek death. In that case, this Ancestor will transform you into a puppet of darkness."

The Dark Ancestor's virtual dharma form ceased its persuasion and thrust forward the palm holding the dark orb to crush her.

Chirp!

The Vermilion Bird's cry was filled with unwavering will and unyielding fighting spirit.

The massive Vermilion Bird's true form instantly transformed into a human form, her hands gripping the battle blade, condensed from her essence, energy, spirit, and her strongest will, and slashed it out.

At the same time, the Eternal Life Divine Hall released a power of order, forming a barrier to envelop Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin.

Rumble!

The instant the Vermilion Bird's battle blade's Great Dao order collided with the dark order, a blinding light illuminated the entire dark universe.

The light of the Great Dao was vast and boundless.

Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin could not see clearly at all. If not for the protection of the Eternal Life Divine Hall's order barrier, such Dao light would have been enough to blind their eyes forever.

Let alone those of their realm, no one below the Emperor realm dared to directly look at such light!

The entire universe trembled violently!

The battle blade collided with the dark orb, and a vast energy swept out, impacting the Vermilion Bird and the virtual dharma form of the Dark Ancestor.

Around the Vermilion Bird's body, the chains of order continuously snapped under the impact of this Great Dao power. Blood trickled from her mouth, but her hands continued to pour Emperor Dao power into the battle blade.

The dark orb began to cave in, and the order on the Vermilion Bird's battle blade was also collapsing. Cracks spread across the blade, threatening to shatter it!

In contrast, the dark order chains surrounding the dark powerhouse's body only rang out, withstanding the impact of the battle blade's blade energy.
