Overshadowing the Sky: Empress Proud of the World

Chapter 682: After the Heavenly Road
Under the dim starry sky, Ye Nan walked alone among the dilapidated ruins, without saying a word for a long time.

Through her nearly pinnacle source technique, she was able to see that the ruins she was in were actually a complete whole.

To be more precise, it was supposed to be a huge and magnificent city, suspended in the starry sky, but for some reason it fell down and shattered into pieces.

An ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere permeated the void. Looking around, there were rubble everywhere. Even the dust had accumulated into thick soil, burying most of the remains of the entire giant city under the ground.

Ye Nan walked lightly, independent from the world. She was dressed in flawless white and radiated a hazy glow, isolating all the dust from outside. At the same time, she became the only bright color here, making it quiet and beautiful.

Then she stopped and looked forward, her eyes flickering slightly.

There, a small half of the stone tablet appeared. Even after a long time, it still exuded a crystal luster, but it was slightly dim.

It is called a stone tablet, but it is really huge. Only a small half of it is exposed outside, but it still towers as tall as a small hill.

Judging from this proportion, the part of this stone tablet buried underground is probably quite astonishing.

Ye Nan knew that this kind of stone tablet would stand in front of every holy city on the Heavenly Road. It was made by the Great Sage using stars to tell every Heavenly Road trial-taker where they are at the moment.

At this time, an "eight" character appeared on the part of the stone tablet that was exposed outside the soil.

Ye Nan unfolded her Source Heavenly Divine Awareness, and her eyes seemed to have substance, extending all the way down along the soil layer, allowing her to clearly see the contents recorded on top of the entire monument.

Eighty-two cities.

She was slightly startled. Although she had already thought of this possibility, when she finally found out the answer, her heart was still filled with ripples.

At this moment, the huge city ruins where he was located was actually the 82nd level of the human race’s road to heaven.

In other words, the Eighty-one Cities is not the end, there is still the Heavenly Gate behind it!
Moreover, the four characters "Eighty-two Cities" that appear on the giant stele are written in a different font than that used for each holy city from the first to the eighty-first level of the Heavenly Road, and are much older.

Ye Nan was not unfamiliar with this font. It was a writing system that existed before the ancient times and was unique to the mythological era.

Ye Nan's eyes were as bright as water as she glanced in all directions, spreading out the vast divine consciousness of the Saint King realm, and once again made it clear that she was indeed the only one in the entire starry sky.

This is a dead starry sky.

Not long ago, this was the thought that came to Ye Nan’s mind the first time she stepped out of the void passage.

The five-colored altar used to carry the void passage has disappeared, leaving only dim lines interwoven in the void, through which the shape of the five-colored altar can be vaguely discerned.

After the void channel was closed, those already faint patterns also completely dissipated, like feathers, melting into the void.

It is obvious that no living creature has set foot on the starry sky in front of us for a very long time.

Ye Nan can be said to be the first visitor in a long time.

She was on a large, desolate star, the only celestial body in the sky.

But when he looked up, there was no brilliant sea of ​​stars above him, but a sky as dark as an inkwell, as if the whole world was shrouded in darkness, and not even a trace of faint starlight could be seen.

Ye Nan did not relax her vigilance at all and was always on high alert.

Because she could clearly feel that in every inch of space under the starry sky, there was a faint strange and ominous atmosphere.

Any cultivator in such an environment would definitely feel cold all over, even if he could not see any living creature. However, this deathly silence and eerie atmosphere would have some kind of indescribable effect on the mind all the time.

"clank."

Ye Nan waved her white hands lightly, letting the fairy light like a river in the sky swirl around her body. Looking from afar, she seemed holy and immortal, immune to all kinds of attacks.

"Buzz." The Dao Treasure Bottle also emerged, swallowing and spitting out thousands of black lights, transforming into one inky real dragon after another. One could vaguely see the dragon-patterned black gold tripod floating in it. The mysterious and yellow mother energy surged, sheltering Ye Nan in it.

During the underground exploration just now, Ye Nan not only saw the contents on the surface of the giant monument, but also noticed that deep in the earth there was a vast and extensive ancient building complex.

With just one glance, she could tell that this ancient building complex located underground was almost identical to the ancient heavenly ruins she had seen before.

Ye Nan thought for a moment and decided to go down and find out what was going on, in order to find the way to the next city.

Since there are eighty-two cities, there must be eighty-three cities and eighty-four cities.

Perhaps the truth of everything is hidden at the true end of this heavenly road.

Through the exhausted earth veins, Ye Nan went deep into the ancient buildings underground.

Since this area was not directly exposed to the outside void, the pavilions and towers in it were more intact than those on the ground. She almost saw at a glance an older but relatively intact five-color altar.

However, around this five-colored altar, there are still several collapsed stone walls standing, on top of which seems to be recorded something, and some faint lines and carvings can be vaguely seen.

But what really attracted Ye Nan's attention were the faint fluctuations coming from these stone walls. Even after thousands of years had passed, the traces of the Dao attached to their surfaces had not been completely erased.

The underground is very quiet. This ancient building complex is not completely buried by the soil, but has formed a huge cavity that extends very far, which is enough to show its former grandeur and vastness.

Ye Nan came close to the five-colored altar and looked at the collapsed stone walls one after another.

The engraving was already very blurry, but she still recognized one of the objects at a glance.

It was a large tripod with three legs and two ears. It seemed to stand at the beginning of the world, when all things were first born, full of ancient and vicissitudes of life.

The supreme artifact of ancient heaven, the Cauldron of the Origin of All Things!

Ye Nan's heart was stirred again, because this undoubtedly further confirmed that the entire human race's trial road to heaven might have been inherited from the mythological era before the ancient times, and could be traced back to the legendary inheritance - the ancient heaven.

In addition to this, she already knew that on the demon race's heavenly road - the Demon King Ancient Road, there were also relics left by the ancient heaven, such as Mingquan City. She wondered what the connection was between that ancient road and the ancient heaven.

Ye Nan once again turned her gaze to the remaining walls, trying to find more answers from them.

But she soon discovered to her disappointment that the remaining stone wall had either collapsed by more than half, and the contents recorded on it had disappeared; or it had been completely erased over the long years and could no longer be seen.

Ye Nan's mind was racing, and she instantly realized that as the supreme artifact of the ancient heaven, it was not an easy task to copy the Cauldron of the Source of All Things. This would allow the stone wall carrying the engraving to survive for even longer.

She took another deep look at the large tripod in the stone carving, and then jumped onto the five-colored altar deep underground and activated it.

"Buzz."

This five-colored altar has obviously not been activated for quite some time. The essence of the five-colored stones has almost been lost, and it seems to be a little difficult to operate.

But as the void began to tremble slightly, ripples like waves spread out from the five-colored altar as the center, and a slightly blurry void passage was slowly constructed.

"Boom!"

But at this moment, due to the shaking of the void, the already almost decayed stone walls around the five-colored altar collapsed completely. At the same time, a mighty and majestic voice spanned eternity, echoing under the starry sky, shaking the entire star.

"The Emperor is dead, the gods of all realms will be in chaos, the Heavenly Court will collapse, and it will fall apart in one day."

Hearing this, Ye Nan's heart was moved, but at this time her vision had already blurred and she was about to completely leave this starry sky.

In my free time these days, I studied the tutorials in Yuewen Creative Writing School carefully. I felt so good. There are so many tricks to writing online articles. However, this book probably won’t be useful to me hhhhh
