The Sacred Ruins

1578 Chapter 1577 — one leaf, one epoch

The heavens, what a mysterious place. Separated from the heavens, it stood high above, overlooking the river of time. No matter how the oceans changed, how the greater world changed, how it was destroyed and how it was revived, it would always be above the heavens, never to be reached.

How many Heaven’s chosen from ancient and modern times looked down on the heavens, shaking the ancient and modern times, intimidating countless great eras, looking down on the entire great era? Yet, it was still difficult for them to ascend to the heavens.

For those unrivalled experts in the past, even if they had great achievements in the past and present, they could only raise their heads and sigh. They had no strength to cross over.

If they didn’t enter the heavens, even if they were heaven-defying saints, they would eventually face a terrifying calamity. They would have an ominous feeling and their souls would fall into darkness. Their ‘spirits’would strangely wither.

The heavens were too far away and the hell was too close!

How could they avoid such a situation?

The road was exhausted and ended in desolation. He floated in the Dark Abyss and dissipated. The peerless experts of ancient times were all miserable.

This was the terrifying reality!

The vast ocean flowed and heroes were washed away by the passage of time. It was difficult to find a single person who could ascend to the high heavens with his own strength in several epochs!

The high heavens were unfathomable to all living beings in the world. Even to experts who could sweep through the entire ancient history, they were also elusive and unreachable.

However, Chu Feng had unexpectedly arrived today!

How could he not be shocked? He was momentarily stunned.

He had come up just like that. He had come to the supreme sacred land, which was peaceful and boundless, bathed in immortal multicolored light, and shrouded in auspicious qi. It was truly inconceivable and unbelievable.

“You Want to kill me? Crawl away!”He shouted loudly.

At the critical moment, he didn’t lose his vigilance and was rather calm. That mechanical voice made his hair stand on end as he sensed great danger.

He grabbed the stone jar and smashed it forward.

It was a resplendent thick silver arrow that shot forward!

The giant arrow had broken through the six directions and eight desolates. It had already caused the void to collapse before it even got close. The world was unstable and chaotic Qi surged as if it was splitting open the heavens and earth.

Its origin was as unfathomable as a stone jar. It was also roused to awaken and emit a hazy light. It was a passive counterattack and blocked the Silver Arrow!

Boom!

The boundless darkness behind Chu Feng and the abyss beyond the world seemed to have collapsed. It blasted apart the vast territory and even the void was being destroyed.

This made him gasp. What kind of great power was this?

A thick silver arrow with chaotic energy came over. It could practically shoot through the universe and pose a serious threat to a great world.

Soon, he knew what it was. It wasn’t a real arrow feather, but a bolt of chaotic lightning that had transformed into “God’s retribution”!

It truly possessed the power to break through worlds!

Under normal circumstances, there was nothing to defend against.

The creatures of the outside world, even if they were peerless experts who had rushed here rashly, would be directly killed and shot into fine powder. There was no suspense at all.

However, the stone jar was stable and rippled with specks of light. It was completely unperturbed!

The Silver Lightning was actually all shaken away by the jar. Chu Feng’s leaves didn’t touch him and drifted away from the lightning.

This was terrifying. If someone were here, they would definitely be dumbstruck. What kind of power was that?

The Primal Chaos Lightning waterfall transformed into heavenly retribution and possessed the power to break through worlds. It was actually scattered just like that.

The killing tribulation didn’t disappear. A bell suddenly appeared and rang in the air. The ripples were like water, gentle and divine as it swept towards Chu Feng.

“Time? !”

Chu Feng’s pupils constricted. This seemingly peaceful bell was actually the carrier of the Great Dao. The mechanical voice accompanied it as the word “Obliterate”rang out once again.

At this moment, Chu Feng seemed to have seen an entire chapter of ancient history. This was depriving him of time and reversing time, wanting to use the time Dao Bell to kill him.

In an instant, he could clearly feel the endless abyss behind him trembling. Even the outer realms were trembling in fear.

Even the dark regions were afraid of the Great Dao’s time.

One could imagine how terrifying the annihilation of this great dao carrier was.

The hazy radiance emitted by the stone jar became increasingly dense. It remained motionless like a boulder despite the passage of time and the shaking of the bell.

It wasn’t until later that the ripples from the bell rolled back and landed on its own body. In an instant, it felt as if it had experienced many eras.

The entire Bell had rotted and decayed. It then rustled into dust and the dao bell disintegrated!

Even the carrier of the Great Dao would dry up and walk towards the end of destruction?

Chu Feng was shocked and then felt something. What else in this world could be eternal and what else could truly live on?

It was said that peerless experts lived as long as the heavens and earth and shone as brightly as the sun and moon. However, even the sun and moon were about to fall and even the great world was about to decay. There was no one in this world who could truly live forever.

This was truly a terrifying killing process. However, Chu Feng wasn’t frightened. On the contrary, his expression was complicated and his heart was filled with endless emotions.

“The killing failed!”

The mechanical voice didn’t appear again after those four words.

It was only now that Chu Feng let out a sigh of relief. He had the opportunity to carefully examine this so-called ancient land.

Light and mist swirled around and auspicious colors appeared one after another. Within the peaceful pure land, fiery-red spiritual herbs were sparkling and dripping like large clouds of sunset falling on the ground.

This made Chu Feng apprehensive. Could this be the legendary immortal herb that grew from the sprinkling of immortal blood and True Dragon Blood?

In the distance, the bowl-sized golden flower buds were extremely resplendent and carried raging flames. The petals were overflowing with multicolored light and the fragrance assailed his nostrils. There were also strange trees rippling with jade-green multicolored light, decorating the flowers and plants.

Although a few short mountains were not majestic, they could not be considered majestic. However, there were waves of immortal qi rising from them. They seemed to be out of this world. At the foot of the mountain, there was a divine spring bubbling.

The most shocking thing was still the scenery in front of them!

...

An immortal lotus was very thick and very holy. It was rooted in the secret liquid, and it was even more magnificent than a towering giant tree.

It towered into the white clouds and stood tall between heaven and earth.

The Immortal Lotus’s leaves were very large. The smallest one was several acres in size and their colors were all different. Some were bright red like blood, some were pitch-black like ink, some were dark and lusterless, and some were silvery-white like lightning..

Chu Feng’s super fiery eyes transformed into runes. His spirit was restrained and he saw all the leaves. Including the newly-born leaf on the clouds, there were a total of thirty-six leaves!

In addition, there were three flower buds that were arranged side by side in a very strange manner!

The flower buds were as huge as a mountain and boundless. They were emitting chaotic energy and immortal light. Their vitality was dense!

This was no longer a lotus in the ordinary sense. It was so huge that even calling it a flower tree wasn’t enough.

Of course, these weren’t the strangest things. In fact, the most attractive things were the creatures on the lotus leaves that were emitting chaotic energy.

They were densely packed. There were many skeletons on each huge leaf. There were many dried corpses lying on the ground or sitting cross-legged. They were withered and lifeless.

Chu Feng drew in a breath of cold air. Earlier, he had climbed over the black abyss and crossed the myriad worlds. It was as if the strongest experts of all generations were fighting to become immortals. Could it be that they had all gathered here?

This was simply the gathering of the strongest heaven’s favorites in history!

...

It was just that after arriving here, their condition was even worse. They were equivalent to dead people. Their entire bodies were only covered in a layer of black and cracked old skin, feathers, and scales. They were completely lifeless.

Some of the creatures were about to leave the leaves and fall down. They hung on the edge of the leaves like hanged ghosts and swayed with the wind. They looked terrifying and terrifying.

Those were creatures from tens of thousands of years ago. Their hair was disheveled and their eyes were sunken. They were bony and looked like malicious ghosts.

Chu Feng’s pupils constricted. What were these creatures fighting over here for? They were on the verge of eternal silence and were almost completely dead. was this the so-called transcendence?

“Is that a true phoenix that has shed its feathers?”

Chu Feng couldn’t help but sigh. Before this, he had never seen such a pure-blooded immortal bird. The people he met were all mottled non-pure-blooded descendants.

But in this place, that kind of bird seemed to have died of old age. It hung on the lotus leaf and there were more than one or two of them.

Apart from that, what did he see? The Heavenly Dragon had dragon scales falling in all directions. His old bones seemed to have been broken. He lay limply on the ground and didn’t move at all.

As for the three-eyed divine being, the six-armed demon Emperor Monkey, and the others, he had seen them all. They were all the most powerful creatures in the legends of history and could be seen here.

“If this group of ancient monsters were to awaken and run to the outside world, they would definitely stir up great chaos!”

Chu Feng’s voice was low and deep. This place was simply the source of disaster.

Some monsters had certainly surpassed true immortals and were incomparably powerful.

After all, the people behind the path of reincarnation wanted to nurture existences that surpassed immortal kings. Even if only one was born, it would be a great profit.

Therefore, the creatures here had everything from the decaying cosmos to transcendence!

Fortunately, they were on the verge of death and seemed unable to return to life. They were in an incomparably special state and didn’t move at all. There was no difference between them and the corpse ghosts.

Chu Feng stepped on this special boundary and carefully observed the surroundings. He frowned. This wasn’t a vast continent but rather a lone island suspended in boundless darkness.

Especially around the lone island, there were cracks as if someone had cut it off from somewhere.

He recalled the earlier voice saying that he was a mutant and had intruded into the heavens. However, this was clearly a small piece of land that had been cut off.

“Could this be a piece of land cut off from the heavens due to some kind of supreme battle and become a lone island in the heavens and beyond?”

The boundless darkness outside the island isolated the myriad worlds and severed the heavens. It was as if sooner or later, it would swallow up all the great cosmos and destroy the boundless greater world. The surroundings were pitch-black as if a peerless demon had opened its huge mouth and a strange aura was rising.

Chu Feng retracted his gaze and once again observed the most eye-catching giant lotus and the densely packed dried corpses on it.

There was floating earth, broken debris, and huge rocks beside the pond where the giant lotus had taken root. It was difficult to tell what this place was back then.

Chu Feng walked around it and saw traces left behind by the ancients. There were words carved on a stone that was difficult to recognize. It was impossible to tell which era the words were from.

However, the Great Dao was connected and contained the truth. Its patterns interweaved and could transmit information that transcended the era.

“One leaf... one era!”

He actually read such information!

He suddenly raised his head and looked up at the giant lotus again. There were a total of thirty-six leaves. If he looked at the vague words written on the giant stone, didn’t it mean that this lotus had experienced... Thirty-six eras? !

This was simply unimaginable and unbelievable!

“The ten thousand Kalpa Reincarnation Lotus!”

A moment later, he once again analyzed these words, and it made his mind go blank, and his soul throbbed.

This thing was definitely not ordinary. It was simply too astonishing.

Throughout the decades, this plant and its special name spoke of its strangeness and terror. It was simply too extraordinary.

Chu Feng pondered. The reincarnation in this so-called ten thousand kalpa reincarnation lotus’s name most likely corresponded to the most primitive reincarnation and not the reincarnation in the meaning of the later generations.

Very soon, he made another astonishing discovery. In front of him was not the secret liquid but a pile of stones. Part of the roots of the giant lotus were exposed. It had wrapped around a stone zither!

“As expected, the original body of the stone zither is here!”

“This thing belongs to me now. I’ll take it with me!”

Chu Feng’s eyes shone with a divine light. It was quite invasive. Today, he had come to loot the place and clean it up.

The main reason was because he had some associations with the stone zither. After all, the material was too special. He couldn’t help but think of the stone jar beside him.

Could it be a tool from the same period? !

If he could really grasp and activate it, perhaps its lethality would be unimaginable!

He saw some vague ancient characters on the boulder beside him. After analyzing them through the dao patterns, he learned that the zither was difficult to shake and couldn’t be taken away!

Apparently, some creatures had already planned this but were helpless.

“Brother can, this may be your relative. Don’t forget your wealth and honor. Bring it with you later!”

“Here... What Mark is this? It looks familiar!”

Suddenly, Chu Feng made a new discovery. He saw a crack on the ground with mottled runic patterns. It looked quite ancient.

“There are flowers, birds, fish, insects, supreme gods and monsters from all spirits. There are also chaotic cloud patterns. Where have I seen them before?”Chu Feng stared at the ground.

Suddenly, his expression changed. He remembered where he had seen them before.

The one from the nine paths one and the heavenly monarch from the dog emperor’s mouth each had their own bronze coffins. It was said that the bronze coffins were one body and had three reincarnated coffins.

He was fortunate enough to have seen the shape of the coffins. These patterns were on the coffins!

Chu Feng was shocked and his heart turned upside down.

This place... had been smashed by a bronze coffin before? !

It was just that he didn’t know whether it was caused by that person or the heavenly emperor mentioned by the Dog Emperor!

Chu Feng was about to study it when suddenly, a rustling sound came from the sky. Following which, a strong wind exploded.

That was the huge mountain-like flower bud at the top of the huge lotus shaking. It triggered a strange phenomenon and actually caused the sky to become almost transparent. A large area of dense multicolored light descended.

Chu Feng could even vaguely see the indistinct and endless land above through the transparent region. There were Majestic Mountains, vast and boundless territory, and no end to it.

There was no end to the land. Moreover, the immortal Qi was so dense that it almost turned into liquid and flowed in the void.

“What is that place? Could it be the true God?”

The flower bud shook. Amidst the rustling sounds and the strong winds, countless streams of light were forcefully absorbed by the flower bud. They entered the floating island and began to rain light.

This flower bud had stolen a special substance from the heavens across the myriad realms?

Chu Feng saw that this rain of light had been absorbed from the Majestic Mountains and rivers. Although it was insignificant compared to that boundless territory, it could be ignored.

However, this kind of light rain was enough to change this place. It made the floating island full of vitality, divine peace, and auspicious lights.

Moreover, Chu Feng immediately felt great benefits. After this special substance landed on his body, it made it seem as if his body had returned to the origin of Heaven and earth.

“This is... the body’s desire. It can slow down my ‘exhaustion period’and heal the injuries caused by the year-round evolution. This substance can allow me to evolve again without having to wait another ten thousand years!”

Chu Feng was astonished. This was a great fortune that could seize the heavens and earth!

One could see that the special substances that had descended were all heading towards the giant lotus to nourish its body!

Even the dried corpses on the lotus leaves couldn’t obtain such substances despite coming into contact with them.

Chu Feng was astonished. He instantly understood what was going on. It was the stone jar on his body that had participated in dividing the spoils and intercepting the flow, so he had also benefited from it.

Otherwise, this substance wouldn’t have fallen onto his body!

“Come, let the downpour be more violent. Come at me!”Chu Feng looked up at the sky.
