Chapter 2089 Unparalleled Glory
In his heart, Chen Fei had no intention of going deep into the ancient Heavenly Court ruins.
He is currently only at the early stage of the Tai Cang Realm. Even if he has cultivated the top-tier Tai Cang Realm technique, Devouring Heaven Divine Forging, to the Great Perfection stage, his basic cultivation is insufficient. His total Yuan Power and the depth and breadth of his understanding of the rules of heaven and earth are still significantly different from those late-stage peak experts.
As long as Chen Fei is careful and cautious, he has the strength and means to deal with the outer areas and has a good chance of finding suitable opportunities.
Therefore, Chen Fei's goal was clear: to maximize the use of this opportunity of the relic's emergence while ensuring safety, in order to find a spiritual material of high rank.
As for the amazing treasure in the core area... that's definitely not something he should be thinking about at this stage.
Just as Chen Fei's thoughts were turning,
"Whoosh!"
A deafening roar, louder and more muffled than any previous spatial tremor, suddenly erupted from the deepest part of Kunlun Abyss.
As the earth-shattering roar of the vengeful demon appeared, it seemed to trigger some kind of chain reaction. In less than three breaths, an indescribable, terrifying wave, as if it would overturn the entire Kunyuan Abyss from the ground, surged violently from the depths of Kunyuan.
"Boom!"
This time, it was no longer an invisible ripple, but a terrifying torrent mixed with countless spatial fragments, pitch-black demonic energy, and some strange dark gold and grayish-white energy.
The pitch-black entrance to Kunyuan, which seemed like a giant beast devouring everything, now appeared to have transformed into a massive outlet for venting its pent-up emotions.
A terrifying torrent of energy surged forth, soaring into the sky and completely disrupting the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) for millions of miles, forming destructive shockwaves that swept outwards in all directions.
"careful!"
"Hold on!"
Exclamations and angry shouts rose and fell.
Many unprepared fifteenth-level cultivators were utterly powerless against this terrifying shockwave. Their protective aura shattered instantly, and they were swept away by the terrifying force like fallen leaves in a storm. They tumbled through the air, looking disheveled, and some even suffered serious internal injuries.
Even some weaker early-stage Tai Cang Realm cultivators swayed and had to use their Yuan Power to stabilize themselves, their faces showing shock.
This terrifying shock and chaos lasted for less than a breath.
"Hey!"
The next moment, a massive beam of light, whose magnificence and eeriness defied description, suddenly surged violently from the center of the chaotic outpouring.
The beam of light had an extremely strange color, presenting an overall peculiar mixture of gold and black.
That gold was not a grand and majestic gold, but a dark gold that was ancient, decaying, yet still faintly showed traces of its former supreme majesty.
That black was not purely the black of demonic energy; it contained more of a deep, intense resentment, a deathly stillness, and a void.
The moment this strange pillar of light appeared, it forcefully connected the entire world with an overwhelming power. It reached down to the abyss and pierced the heavens, illuminating the world in a dazzling display of light and shadow.
"Rumble..."
As this pillar of light, stretching from the sky to the earth, appeared, it was as if a giant energy gate had been opened.
Whether it was the pure spiritual energy, the abundant earth energy, or even certain special energy components within the churning demonic energy... everything seemed to be irresistibly summoned and drawn, surging madly towards Kunyuan, towards that strange pillar of light that pierced the heavens and the earth.
In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, the wind and clouds reversed, and the primordial energy surged and converged like a tsunami. The entire world, centered on that pillar of light, evolved into a gigantic and terrifying vortex that devoured all energy.
As everyone gazed upon this magnificent, apocalyptic scene, only one thought remained in their minds: the ancient celestial ruins had been completely opened.
Just as that strange pillar of light, stretching from the sky to the earth, was recklessly unleashing terrifying energy and stirring up chaos in the surrounding millions of miles of heaven and earth, a calm and majestic voice overwhelmed all the roars and noises, resounding in the minds of all the Dan Chen Sect disciples.
"The ancient celestial ruins have been opened and you may enter."
It was none other than the Supreme Elder, Zhang Duchuan, who was stationed in the Zhenyuan Hall at the rear.
His voice was devoid of any warmth or affliction, yet it contained a calming power. It was as if, in the face of this cataclysmic phenomenon, everything was still under control.
"Clang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a resounding sound, seemingly capable of illuminating the entire universe, suddenly rang out from the floating white jade palace, Zhenyuan Hall, behind them.
In the next instant, a vast beam of light, untouched by any worldly dust, shot out from the top of the palace.
This mirror light was not as domineering as the chaotic pillars of light in front of it, but the majestic and righteous meaning it contained, as well as the profound Daoist charm that penetrated reality and revealed the origin, was stronger than ever before.
This beam of light ignored the distance in space, and even more so the chaotic area ahead, churning and boiling with destructive energy. It shot straight into the dark entrance of Kunyuan, and continued downwards with unstoppable momentum, reaching the deepest part of the ninth level of Kunyuan.
The instant the mirror light illuminated the ninth level of the Kun Abyss, all cultivators above the Tai Cang Realm clearly saw a magnificent phantom, indescribable in words, flash by within the condensed mirror light.
It was a projection of a palace complex, and even a fleeting glimpse was enough to convey its former glory and grandeur.
The entire structure seemed to be cast from endless divine gold and jade, resplendent in gold and green, with upturned eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, and countless mysterious and unpredictable Dao patterns flowing on its surface, exuding a magnificent aura that made people want to bow down and worship.
However, this splendor is also interspersed with an undeniable sense of decay and desolation.
The phantom of the palace complex is riddled with defects, with huge cracks that are shocking to behold. Some areas have even completely collapsed, revealing a dark, gloomy void inside that seems capable of swallowing all light.
The stark contrast between splendor and ruin adds a touch of tragic grandeur and eeriness to the story of a dynasty rising to its peak and then declining.
This is the phantom image of a fragment of the ancient Heavenly Court that crashed into Kunyuan. Even a fleeting glimpse through the light of the Taiyan Mirror is enough to shock people.
Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in a simple gray robe slowly emerged from the condensed mirror-like passage.
Zhang Duchuan's pace seemed unhurried, as if he were simply taking a stroll in his own backyard.
But the next moment, his figure merged with the mirror light, and along the passage opened by the mirror light, he directly crossed the multiple spatial barriers and chaotic areas of Kunyuan, heading straight down into the ancient heavenly court ruins at the bottom of the ninth Kunyuan.
"Hey! Fellow Daoists from Danchen Sect are quite impatient."
A long laugh came from a flying magical artifact in the distance. The next moment, a blood-red rainbow, carrying a murderous aura, ignored the chaos ahead and went straight into the depths of Kunlun Abyss.
"Clang!"
A clear and melodious sword cry resounded through the heavens, and a cyan sword light, seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens and earth in two, pierced directly into Kunyuan's chaotic energy field with indescribable speed and sharpness.
Wherever he went, all chaos and obstacles were forcibly cut through by his unparalleled sharpness. This was a sword lord, one with his sword, with unmatched sharpness.
Following Zhang Duchuan, hundreds more powerful auras soared into the sky, heading straight into the ninth level of the Kun Abyss.
These powerful Heavenly Monarchs naturally disdained to slowly delve deeper into the first level of the Kun Abyss. To them, while the spatial barrier of the Kun Abyss itself was troublesome, it was not enough to prevent them from reaching the core.
"Rumble..."
With so many Xuanqiong Heavenly Lords acting simultaneously, even though they tried their best to restrain their power fluctuations, the absolute difference in their life level and control over the rules still made their every move carry immense heavenly might.
The violent aftershocks of power, along with various powerful Daoist principles and rules that were completely different and even conflicting, filled the area outside the entrance to Kunyuan without restraint.
The primordial energy of heaven and earth became more chaotic and violent than ever before, and even space itself trembled and distorted subtly. That invisible sense of oppression from the very source of life made all the cultivators present below the Tai Cang Realm feel breathless and their minds on the verge of breaking.
Chen Fei took a deep breath, feeling the suffocating and terrifying aura around him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of indescribable emotion and longing.
Faced with such power, even a cultivator in the Tai Cang Realm who controls the Dao Domain suddenly becomes as weak as a small boat in a raging storm, and could be torn to shreds by the terrifying aftershocks of that power at any moment.
This is the difference in levels.
Before the Heavenly Lord, there is no essential difference between the Tai Cang Realm and the Fifteenth Rank.
Once the terrifying escape lights representing the Heavenly Monarch level experts had all disappeared into the depths of the Kun Abyss, the terrifying pressure and aftershocks of power gradually subsided. However, the lingering, chilling aura in the air still reminded everyone of what had just happened.
"go!"
Just then, a low shout rang out from the front of the Cuiping Peak group. It was none other than Peak Master Wei Zhongqian, who had been watching the direction the Heavenly Lords had departed with a solemn expression.
His voice wasn't loud, but it brought the slightly dazed disciples back to their senses.
At his command, Wei Zhongqian moved swiftly, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the entrance of Kunyuan ahead.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Almost at the same time that Wei Zhongqian set off, the Tai Cang Realm experts from various surrounding forces also stopped hesitating.
Under the pitch-black sky, thousands of Tai Cang Realm cultivators simultaneously activated their escape lights. The powerful aura and Yuan Power fluctuations that converged, although far less imposing than the Heavenly Monarchs' earlier power, were still enough to stir up the winds and clouds, and make people's hearts surge.
"This demonic energy has accumulated over countless millennia, forming an abyss with multiple layers of superimposed, distorted, and even shattered spaces..."
As Chen Fei followed the group from Cuiping Peak and transformed into a streak of light, he thought to himself, "The Tai Cang Realm cannot be directly traversed in a single step."
The spatial structure of Kunyuan is too complex and dangerous. The relationship between each layer is not a simple vertical depth relationship, but is mixed with a large number of spatial folds and faults, and even small dimensional fragments embedded in it.
Forcibly venturing deeper using spatial traversal would likely result in crashing into some unknown spatial turbulence or perilous place, which would be even more dangerous.
