Chapter 440: 500,000 Years of Time
Chapter 440: 500,000 Years of Time
On the vast wasteland, two groups of burly men in animal skins were confronting each other, their swords drawn.
Both sides had leaders standing at the front. They were both burly figures more than 30 feet tall. Their exposed skin was even tattooed with beast-like tattoos, and they looked very ferocious.
The leader of one side was wearing animal skin clothes that looked like white wolves. His arms were tattooed with black bear patterns. He stared at the other side with a ferocious gaze and said in a low voice, “Wu Cheng! The corpses of this Ferocious Origin Rhinoceros and the Green-Feathered Thunderclaw Eagle were discovered by our Dahuo Tribe. They should belong to us!”
The person he called Wu Cheng was the leader opposite him. He was wearing animal skin clothes that looked like tiger skin and had a blood-red bull’s head tattooed on his chest.
“Liang You, what nonsense are you talking about?” Wu Cheng moved his hands and sneered. “It was clearly the boys of our Linshan Tribe who discovered it first. Do you want to fight me?”
“Fine, I’ll fight. Do you think I’m afraid of you?!” Liang You was furious. He stepped forward and tore off his hide clothes, revealing his upper body.
At the same time, the tattoos of the three white wolves on his arms and chest shone brightly, as if boundless power was augmenting his body, causing the strength of his aura to rise rapidly.
“Good! I’ve long disliked you. You’re courting death!” Wu Cheng laughed loudly. He spread his arms, and the beast skin clothes on his upper body were instantly torn open, revealing three blood-red bull heads on his chest and arms. “Ah! Come!”
With a roar, three red bull heads flew out of his body as if they had come to life, condensing into three blood-red bull heads beside him.
The moment the ox-headed phantoms condensed, Wu Cheng became like a charging bull as he suddenly rushed towards Liang You, who was still increasing the strength of his aura.
In an instant, Wu Cheng had already arrived in front of Liang You.
He spread his arms and placed his hands forward. His five fingers were pressed together like two bull horns as he slammed them into Liang You’s chest. He roared, “Lie down!”
“Heh!!” Liang You suddenly shouted, and his entire body emitted a strong white light. His body seemed to have turned into a violent wind as he quickly retreated, instantly widening the distance between him and Wu
Cheng.
Around him, the phantoms of three white wolves wrapped around him, constantly providing him with power, allowing him to turn into a violent wind and stir up a storm.
“So you’ve also reached the stage of manifesting a Shaman Marking. No wonder you have the guts to fight with me for the corpses.” Wu Cheng looked at Liang You with an unfriendly expression, but he did not continue attacking.
“You only took advantage of me because you were born three years earlier than me and had the Blood Fire Ox treasure blood to wash your marrow.” Liang You looked at Wu Cheng with disdain, his eyes filled with mockery. “I’m different. I obtained all my power through bitter battles!”
“Without the help of treasure blood to cleanse the marrow, even if your Shaman Marking appears, it’s just an empty shell!” Wu Cheng snorted coldly. The aura on his body soared again, and the phantom of the blood-colored bull head became even brighter. “I’ll let you see what true Shaman Marking power is!”
“Come, trash who only knows how to rely on the power of the treasure blood!” Liang You did not show any weakness, but his expression was incomparably vigilant. Clearly, he was still very afraid of Wu Cheng.
Rumble!
Loud sounds came from the ground. Blood-colored light intertwined with the violent wind, causing sand and rocks to fly, turning the surroundings dark.
However, this level of battle was not enough to affect Cui Heng and the others who were flying in the air.
At this moment, be it Cui Heng, Pei Qingshu, Zheng Nanxun, Hui Shi, or the Yellow-scarved Strongman, they were all observing the battle between Wu Cheng and Liang Pomelo below, as if they were looking at something new.
“Master, they don’t seem to be martial artists. Their cultivation path is completely different from the Martial Dao,” Pei Qingshu said in surprise. “Their power actually comes from the tattoos on their bodies. With just this tattoo, they have strength comparable to a Sage.”
“But their combat techniques are very crude.” Zheng Nanxun stared below and frowned slightly. “There’s almost no technique. They’re completely relying on the power of their tattoo to fight head-on. Even a Sage who has taken the Immortal True Essence can defeat the two of them alone.”
At this point, she paused and looked at Cui Heng beside her. She asked, “Ancestral Grandmaster, that shouldn’t be right. How can the people of the Heaven Realm be so weak?”
“Could something have happened in the past 500,000 years?” Hui Shi also looked at the two of them and said in a low voice, “The Heaven Realm that Wu Yong mentioned is not like this.”
Wu Yong was the person from the Heaven Realm who had once been sealed by a Heaven Realm expert. He had a cultivation of the Second Heaven Gate realm and knew a lot about the Heaven Realm. He had once told Cui Heng about the situation in the Heaven Realm.
According to him, although there were no particularly clear rules in the Heaven Realm, nor was there a clear concept of a country, it was ruled by the various Heavenly Venerables. It was definitely not a desolate land.
The cultivation method of the Heaven Realm was also the 21 Realms of the Immortal and Mortal Realms and the 12 Heaven Gate Realms. It was not this strange path which relied on tattoos to increase one’s strength.
As Lords of the Heavens who had existed since the Heaven Realm was still around, Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku had also described the Heaven Realm they knew. Similarly, there was no such strange cultivation method.
– Sca
“Yellow-scarved Strongman, do you feel that it’s a little similar to your state?” Cui Heng suddenly asked the Yellow-scarved Strongman, who had not spoken for a long time.
These words immediately attracted everyone’s attention and they looked at the Yellow-scarved Strongman.
“Yes, Immortal Venerable.” The Yellow-scarved Strongman nodded and said, “Their bodies seem to have been modified by various methods. They no longer have a pure human body. There have many inhuman characteristics and inhuman strength.”
“This is indeed a little similar to my state. I was originally a Dao Guardian and my body was modified and formed with various talismans and Dao patterns. My strength came from this and I relied on the improvement of the talismans and Dao patterns to become stronger.”
“In that case…” Pei Qingshu looked at the two people fighting below and frowned.” If this path continues to be cultivated, won’t it be possible to cultivate a Guardian Body?”
“It’s possible.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and smiled. “However, cultivating a Guardian Body might not be an inferior path compared to the 21 realms of the Immortal and Mortal worlds. Think about it carefully. What did you cultivate to the end of the Nine Realms of the Immortal World?”
“…” Pei Qingshu was stunned when he heard this. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, “Indeed, the cultivation method of the 21 realms of the Immortal and Mortal worlds is also filled with pitfalls. If we go astray, we might even refine ourselves into materials.”
Not only were there pits everywhere in the lower realm, but it was also the same in the upper realm. The two peak realms of the Nine Realms of the Immortal World were actually extensions of the Heavenly Domain’s laws.
The best among them were the stewards of the Heavenly Domain. Although they had obtained greater strength, they were also restricted by the rules of the Heavenly Domain.
Only by charging through the Heaven Gate and obtaining a new power characteristic could they escape this restriction.
“Moreover, from the Eighth and Ninth Realms of the Immortal World, they clearly have to rely on the rules of the Heavenly Domain.” Cui Heng stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, “After the Door of Heaven closes, the Upper and Lower Worlds are separated.”
“There are no rules of the Heavenly Domain here, so it’s naturally impossible to reach the Fusion realm, let alone Ascension. They have to take other paths. If I’m not wrong, if those Heaven Gate experts are still around, they’re most likely looking for other cultivation paths
now.”
After all, in the previous 500,000 years, the Heaven Gate could not be sensed at all. If a Heaven Gate expert wanted to improve further, they could only find another way.
Thinking of this, Cui Heng said in a low voice, “Time is indeed a mighty force that can drown everything. After 500,000 years, the current Heaven Realm has become completely different. The information we know about the Heaven Realm is probably not very useful anymore.”
Moreover, on the surface, the living beings here don’t seem to have been corroded by the Outer World. Even the laws of the Great Dao are very pure and there are no signs of contamination. It’s really a little strange.”
As soon as he arrived, he sensed many unknowns and doubts. This made him feel apprehensive.
When the four people present heard Cui Heng’s words, their expressions became solemn. These signs indicated that the current situation in the Heaven Realm was probably not normal.
“No matter what, let’s start from these people.” Cui Heng changed the topic and said to Pei Qingshu, “Qingshu, those two are still fighting. Go and help them.”
“Yes, Master!” Pei Qingshu cupped his hands and bowed. Then, his figure quickly descended.
Bang! Bang! Bang! There were bursts of explosions in the void. Wu Cheng and Liang Pomelo were locked in battle. Their stern shouts were endless. The people from their respective tribes were also waving their flags and shouting, as if they were very excited.
Boom!
At this moment, an earth-shattering bang suddenly came from not far away. The ground trembled violently, and an incomparably huge aura suddenly descended from the sky.
The two people who were fighting instantly stopped and looked in the direction of the voice in surprise. Then, their eyes glazed over and they subconsciously took a few steps back.
What descended from the sky was actually a thousand-foot-tall giant. Its entire body was enveloped in a layer of golden light. Its face was blurry and incomparably holy, as if a legendary god had descended.
Pei Qingshu mainly cultivated his body. He directly manifested the Heavenly Dao Dharma Body and immediately stunned the two of them.
“What a mysterious golden light. Is it a god?!” Wu Cheng exclaimed in disbelief.
“Impossible. How can a god descend to this desolate land?!” Liang You shook his head repeatedly and said, “But he’s indeed extremely powerful…”
Pei Qingshu ignored their shock. He raised his hand and grabbed the corpses of the three huge beasts.
At the same time, he looked down at Wu Cheng and Liang You, his gaze like lightning.
This incomparably huge aura and pressure made Wu Cheng and Liang You not dare to move at all. They could only stand there like puppets.
Immediately after, a voice that was like the might of the heavens descended.
“These three huge beasts were originally raised by my family. A few days ago, they left on their own. I didn’t expect them to die here. Did the two of you do it?!”
