Chapter 795 - 359: Burying the Entire Saint Realm
When the last cultivator also died, turning into bone water, Li An finally let out a small sigh of relief.
He didn’t hurry to collect the spoils of war, but instead activated the array again, focusing on whipping the corpses of Ye Cauldron, Yunxi, Biyao Fairy, and others seventy or eighty times, turning their bodies into pulp and bone water before completely relaxing. Only then did he leisurely walk down and enter the field of corpses.
This time, over a thousand people died here.
Moreover, they were mostly elites and core members of various major forces.
He collected all their storage rings and such; just the rings alone weighed over a dozen jin. He placed them in a bag, feeling the weight in his hands, giving him an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
After he accomplished all this, Li An finally turned around, took a deep breath, and entered Bone Transformation Mountain.
Now, it was time to explore the opportunities.
Bone Transformation Mountain, existing since the Era of Eternal Life, had even been visited by Evergreen Immortal Venerable, and the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill secret transmission was said to be related to this place...
Just what is hidden here?
...
And at this moment.
Outside,
in the Suspended Immortal City,
within the ancient stone-built Past Life Palace.
"Not good!"
Several elders meditating here suddenly opened their eyes, filled with unbelievable astonishment.
"Yunxi... how did her soul lamp go out?!"
One elder abruptly stood up, staring at the lamp in front of him, unable to resist rubbing his eyes.
He thought he must be seeing things; could Yunxi’s soul lamp really extinguish?
Moreover, it wasn’t just Yunxi; most of the other Celestial Pearl Palace talents with her, a whole bunch of Five and Six-Color Profound Immortals... all extinguished!
Had someone killed all the Celestial Pearl Palace’s talents?
How was that possible?
"Damn it, who the hell killed my palace’s Ye Cauldron?! Celestial Pearl Palace, come out and face us!"
Meanwhile, in another corner of the hall, the experts from Treasure Cauldron Palace were also stunned, shouting angrily and rushing over, saying, "We demand an explanation. Ye Cauldron is dead, how could Ye Cauldron die, along with so many talents! Who could kill him? Did you Celestial Pearl Palace set them up?!"
The only possibility for Ye Cauldron and others to die was if Celestial Pearl Palace made a move!
But the elders of Celestial Pearl Palace were also furious, pointing to a mass of extinguished soul lamps, saying, "Our Celestial Pearl Palace’s Yunxi is dead too. I was just about to settle accounts with you, you bastards from Treasure Cauldron Palace, what did you do?!"
Seeing this, the people from Treasure Cauldron Palace were shocked as well. Yunxi and others... also dead?
And right then, wails began echoing through the hall!
"Changying, Changying! Who harmed you?!"
"Celestial Silkworm, Dao Qian! Our Celestial Pearl Sacred Land’s two great talents were both killed on the same day. Which fellow Daoist is causing us such trouble?!"
"Biyao! Who was it?!"
"Damn it, do you want to start a war of famous mountains and holy lands? This is too much!"
All the major holy lands and famous mountains were nearly going crazy at this moment!
The soul lamps of their core figures and genius disciples were extinguishing inexplicably, like being blown out by ghosts, one after another, with no way to stop it...
When had they ever seen such a scene?
Even the elders of Celestial Pearl Palace and Treasure Cauldron Palace were rushing out, looking at the chaos in the area, shocked and stunned.
"So many geniuses are dead, all dead... Just what earth-shattering event occurred within the secret realm?!"
The elder of Treasure Cauldron Palace mumbled, "Could it be related to that secret realm?"
He glanced at the elder of Celestial Pearl Palace.
The elder of Celestial Pearl Palace was already sweating profusely, saying, "Report to the palace’s Daluo immediately, report to Daluo quickly, so many geniuses dead... It’s life-threatening! Damn it, it’s truly life-threatening!"
As a dignified Taiyi Golden Immortal, he couldn’t even help but swear now.
The elder of Treasure Cauldron Palace also reacted: "Yes, yes!... If Daluo takes action, there might still be a glimmer of hope; the palace also has the immortal blood Ye Cauldron left behind, rebirth by blood might still be possible!"
...
Immediately, the people from Treasure Cauldron Palace and Celestial Pearl Palace were sending urgent messages to the higher ups in their palaces.
This incident... was just too terrifying.
"Damn it... wasn’t it just our Double-Headed Mountain?"
Yet, among the crowd, Qianmiao Master from Double-Headed Mountain and others oddly felt a bit... relieved.
For some time, the people from Double-Headed Mountain kept falling, all three great talents extinguished, not a seed left, making their whole mountain furious, even going to confront Treasure Cauldron Palace and Celestial Pearl Palace, only to be brushed aside with an excuse of life and death being fated in secret realms.
Now seeing such a large-scale talent extinction... their hearts somewhat balanced.
Especially Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, Ye Tiancan, Biyao, all extraordinary talents, the losses endured by various Celestial Palace Source Lands were far more severe than theirs.
"Not dead..."
In a corner, Dao Sect’s Xiang Yuntian also watched the soul lamps of Li Nianxue, An Li, and others. Seeing the soul lamps still lit, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief, but then he also burst into tears, saying, "Our sect’s talents also suffered quite a lot..."
After all, if the others have lost so much, wouldn’t it seem suspicious if the Dao Sect didn’t shed a tear?
...
Inside the Past Life Palace, cries and wails filled the air, lamenting endlessly.
The related news quickly spread throughout the Suspended Immortal City, and even the entire Saint Realm!
All the heavenly talents perished!
"It’s like the heavens shattering... Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, Ye Tiancan, Biyao... they were all legendary talents, and today they’ve all died!"
"Were they killed by someone? Or did a great terror happen within the Space-Time Secret Realm?"
"Unimaginable, what exactly happened... Is this meant to sever the future of all forces? Who could be behind this?"
The world was astounded, creating a massive tidal wave.
For a moment, the Masters and Saint Masters of various great sacred mountains and Holy Lands couldn’t sit still and set off immediately for the Suspended Immortal City to investigate thoroughly.
However, upon reaching the Space-Time Secret Realm, many could only sit anxiously without a solution; once the Space-Time Secret Realm is activated, contacting those inside is extremely difficult, and entering it can only wait for the next time...
No one could interfere with what happens within.
...
Inside the Space-Time Secret Realm.
"What’s going on..."
"Such a strong fluctuation, this kind of power seems to have surpassed the present world!"
"Is it that Array which even the Taiyi Golden Immortal cannot fathom? The great formation has shown some fluctuation, has the secret realm been successfully opened? But, this fluctuation is a bit too strong..."
Outside Evergreen Star, on many treasure ships, the waiting Guardians exchanged glances, filled with suspicion.
They couldn’t help but start contacting their Saint Sons and Saint Daughters.
However, they discovered...
The contact was lost.
"What’s going on? What happened to Fairy Biyao?"
"Why is there no response from the Celestial Silkworm?"
"Ye Cauldron... I sense that something seems to have happened to Ye Cauldron’s Nine Cauldrons!"
For a moment, the scene was filled with panic on each treasure ship.
They hurriedly inquired with one another and finally arrived at a terrible conclusion...
All those who entered Evergreen Star had lost contact!
"Could it be that they’re all dead?"
"How could this be..."
"This place holds great terror, it’s over, great terror!"
A group of Guardians were all stupefied, each as anxious as ants on a hot pan, yet not a single one dared to approach and enter...
Over a thousand talented individuals who had mastered the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill entered, all perished. This place is undeniably a place of great calamity; who would dare to rashly enter?
"How can I face anyone upon returning..."
"Have I buried the future of the Holy Land?!"
"No! No!"
Many spoke unwillingly, all understanding how tragic the truth was...
"All dead?"
On the treasure ship of the Celestial Pearl Sacred Land, Tan Qingxue frowned, saying: "The talents of the Celestial Pearl Sacred Land have all gone in, if so, who can you seek an alliance with?"
She looked at Li Nianxue, surprisingly at a loss for words.
Li Nianxue was filled with shock, looking at Evergreen Star, unable to calm her heart for a long time...
So many peerless talents, all dead...
Truly heaven-defying!
...
At this moment.
Li An was already alone, heading into the depths of Bone Transformation Mountain.
He climbed to the peak where he once conversed with that person in the Deceit Realm.
At the mountain top, a withered tree, dead for who knows how many years, stood proudly. Below the tree, a stone table was placed, upon which a wine pot and cups were set...
Exactly the same scene as when Li An saw that person last.
The last time Li An came, he stepped into a time gone by, seeing people who once lived.
This time, however, Bone Transformation Mountain revealed itself in the present, time had passed, the people were no more, and the stone table was covered with dust, the wine cup empty, the wine pot dusty.
In that moment, as if witnessing the passage of time, the vicissitudes of life, yesterday and today overlapped, Li An couldn’t help but slightly be in a daze.
...
