Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 572: He who deserves to die, does not need to be saved; my brother, look at this Ship King, I leave it to you!
As soon as he entered the city, the news reached his ears without Ye Fan even having the chance to inquire about it.

An ancient saint appeared in Tianyuan City. Many monks made an appointment to go and pay him a visit, but he never paid any attention to them.

It was a strange man who ignored people's worship and seemed to be looking for something. He had been lingering there for several days.

Ye Fan was shocked. This world was so terrifying. He could see an ancient saint just after entering an ancient city.

Ying Yue was also surprised: "I didn't know about this for several days. This doesn't make sense."

She had been swindling people in Tianyuan City all along. In terms of being well-informed, she was as well-informed as anyone else. However, she had no idea that such an ancient saint had come to Tianyuan City!
Liu Mang sneered at Ye Fan: "You little brat, don't you think about your own level and the situation of the Sun God Cult? Everyone must have deliberately concealed this news from you!"

At this time, Ye Fan had already taken off his mecha and was walking in the city in black clothes. Liu Mang's voice came from his hair.

"This is impossible!" Ying Yue was very stubborn. "I came out hiding my identity. No one knows that I am a member of the Sun God Cult. They have no reason to hide it from me!"

As a Sun Body who was told from childhood that he would not live to adulthood, Ying Yue was very precocious. At the age of fifteen, he had already been swindling people in Tianyuan City for three years. Although he was not good at networking, he was well versed in human relationships and understood very well the dangerous situation of the Sun God Cult today.

The decline of the Sun God Cult is a fact. It is also a fact that it possesses a profound heritage. The principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure is common in every world. The Sun God Cult does not have enough strength to maintain all of this, and is naturally coveted by all parties.

Weakening the Sun God Cult is the hope of the vast majority of Ziwei forces. The ancient sages are a terrifying force that can overthrow Ziwei. No one wants the Sun God Cult to get involved with the ancient sages. Since they don't want that, then just block the news from the Sun God Cult. Ying Yue even understands this approach very well.

But she didn't understand why they had to hide it from her. Was she exposed in some way?
"Your solar body is as dazzling as the sun in the dark night. Even a blind person can feel this special aura. What on earth are you hiding?"

Liu Mang was speechless. How much do you believe in the seal on your body?
"Ah?" Ying Yue was shocked. Could it be that her seal had no effect at all? Then wouldn't she have been jumping up and down under the spotlight all these years?

When she thought about everyone watching her performance like a clown, she awkwardly scratched the ground with her toes, as if she was trying to dig out a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground.

Ye Fan said in disbelief: "The Sun God Cult, a dignified immortal heritage, now doesn't even have the ability to seal the fluctuations of the Sun's body's aura?"

"How can there be a truly immortal force in the world? Even the ancient heaven collapsed, so how can the Sun God Cult not weaken? The extreme forces of Beidou that are still circulating now were all established in the last 600,000 to 700,000 years. The forces established by the human emperors in the more distant era were also lost in the long river of time. The fact that the Sun God Cult has been able to hold out for more than two million years, and has experienced many dark turmoils, and has still existed even after the loss of the imperial soldiers, is already an unimaginable achievement."

Liu Mang sighed, where is the real immortality in the world? Even immortals have to die, immortal kings and immortal emperors are in danger of dying, and even those who are on the sacrificial path have to die. Immortality, how strong must one be to achieve true immortality?
Ying Yue said with a depressed look: "The Sun God Cult has indeed declined. The entire cult does not even have a powerful person, but it still uses the name of the cult. This is simply like a child holding gold in a busy city. The crisis is imminent."

She looked up at the sky and said bitterly, "Ever since I knew I wouldn't make it to adulthood, I realized I was just a burden to the Divine Religion. In order to save my life, they used too many resources on me. This was undoubtedly a futile effort, but they had no complaints, only because I was the person closest to the bloodline of the Saint Emperor's ancestors. What they wanted to save was not me, but this bloodline, even if it was useless."

"When I was twelve, I finally couldn't stand it anymore and left the cult. I didn't want to be a shadow of my ancestors, nor did I want to waste the cult's limited resources. I just wanted to be myself, even if it was only for a few years. I thought I had grasped my freedom, but I didn't expect that everything was just my illusion. I am a member of the Sun God Cult, and this cannot be changed. Undoubtedly, no one will regard me as an individual. All my actions affect the cult, and the cult also affects me."

She looked at Ye Fan, looked at Ye Fan's hair, and said: "There is a reason for the decline of the Sun God Cult. Even though it has weakened to this point, it is still unwilling to abandon its past glory and face reality. It still guards the reputation of the cult, dreams of restoring its glory, and falls into an irresistible madness. If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. If this continues, the Sun God Cult may one day be completely destroyed. I don't know if I will see that day."

Ye Fan was silent. He didn't know much about the Sun God Cult. He only knew that it was the immortal heritage passed down by the Sun Saint Emperor, but it had declined.

Now, based on the stories told by Liu Mang and Ying Yue, I have a preliminary impression of the Sun God Cult.

The religion was established a long time ago and had made remarkable achievements, but after its decline it failed to recognize the reality. It clings to the so-called Holy Emperor inheritance, trying to restore the glory of its ancestors with the body of the sun, and is unwilling to abandon the name of the Divine Religion.

As for whether the Sun God Cult is just, from a macro-historical perspective, it is undoubtedly just and has made great contributions to the dark turmoil; but if we talk about specific matters, the Sun God Cult is definitely to the extent that it is today due to its own efforts, and whether the current Sun God Cult is still just is an unknown.

If an invincible immortal heritage wants to decline, it can only be due to internal problems and some external intervention.

The Sun God Cult might have deteriorated since it began to decline, otherwise it would be hard for Ye Fan to imagine that the Army of Justice would decline to this extent. The reason why justice is justice is because it conforms to the pursuit of morality by most people. As long as it always stands on the side of justice and has the most supporters, how could an immortal heritage decline?

But that’s not necessarily the case. What if we really encounter a powerful foreign enemy?

Ye Fan speculated about the Sun God Cult based on what he had learned about the extreme forces from Beidou. If there was such an external enemy, it must be another extreme force or even the Supreme Being.

So the question is, what are the powerful forces in the Ziwei star region?
After thinking about it, there is no more!
The Taiyin Divine Sect was not an extremely powerful force. The Human Emperor Seal was broken along with the Taiyin Human Emperor and was never passed down. There were no imperial soldiers. It could be said that the Taiyin Divine Sect had never been an extremely powerful force. Of course, it was still an immortal heritage.

As for the Supreme, Liu Mang felt that no Supreme would have the mind to deal with the Sun God Cult, as they were totally unworthy.

Therefore, the decline of the Sun God Cult can only be attributed to internal strife, just like the decline of all dynasties.

After having this basic inference, let’s look at the Sun God Cult.

Oh, what a remnant of the previous dynasty trying to restore the monarchy!
Let the dead be the dead. The successor should get up from the corpse of the predecessor, absorb the lessons, sum up the experience, and go further with a new attitude, instead of denying the past, trying to revive the predecessor, and moving forward with hidden dangers.

Liu Mang estimated that if the Sun God Cult was as he estimated, then even if the Golden Crow Clan in the original story did not destroy the Sun God Cult, the Sun God Cult would not be far from destruction.

"What do you think about this?" Liu Mang told his guess and asked Ying Yue what she thought.

Ying Yue recalled the many fanatical and crazy people in the cult and fell silent.

Liu Mang sighed. It seemed that the Sun God Cult could not be saved. Unless the old Sun God Cult died out, the new Sun God Cult could not be born.

Both Ying Yue and Ye Tong have the ability and opportunity to reshape the Sun God Cult. The old cult filled with deep-seated problems should be gone. Only in this way can the new cult go further.

In the original novel, Ye Tong did not recreate the Sun God Cult, and the people he missed most in his life did not include his parents and uncles, but instead the old servant named Jiang and his own little sister.

There might be a reason for all this: it's not that Ye Tong is unfilial or forgetful of his ancestors, it's just that there's really nothing to be sorry about.
Ye Fan and Ying Yue walked forward with the crowd. Many cultivators went out of the city and entered a barren land with no grass, as if it had been swept by magma.

There are towering rocky mountains here, with strange rocks growing everywhere, and not a single blade of grass or tree. In the distance, there are some powerful monks appearing, but no one dares to approach.

Suddenly, Ye Fan was stunned and could not believe his eyes. He saw a tall figure with disheveled hair standing in the mountains.

This was a burly man, two or three heads taller than an ordinary person, with a majestic appearance, like an ancient god, with bronze skin and messy black hair that blocked his true face.

Ye Fan was shocked, it turned out to be the old madman!
The old madman was originally looking for something and completely ignored the people who came to worship him.

But when Ye Fan approached to a certain distance, the old madman suddenly looked over, his eyes staring at Ye Fan's hair through his messy hair.

"Big, big brother?!" the old madman asked in surprise, and his low voice spread in all directions.

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped, and the dense crowd dispersed in an instant with Ye Fan and Ying Yue as the center, leaving all the distance between the old madman and the two of them.

You stand in the middle of a conversation between big men? You must have died before!

Everyone retreated in fear, fearing to offend the terrifying ancient saint, and his even more terrifying brother.

We had been worshipping for several days but everyone ignored us. But when this big guy came, they took the initiative to greet him. That’s the difference!

The boss and his brother are people we cannot afford to offend. We have to stay away from them to leave space for communication, so as to avoid dying for inexplicable reasons.

A strand of hair flew out from Ye Fan's head, and with a flash of light, it turned into the appearance of Liu Mang, with chaos hanging down, yin and yang covering his body, and his eyes flashing with a scene as if the world was created, which made everyone gasp again.

"Fuck, the boss is too strong. Even a clone created from a strand of hair has such extraordinary power. You can imagine how powerful his original body must be!"

".You are mentally retarded, this is obviously the boss's Taoist body transformed into hair and hidden on the young man's body!"

"That's right, if you don't have your eyes, you can donate them to people in need. If you don't have your brain, you can donate it too!"

"Hiss, you still have the energy to talk about these things. Look carefully at the boss's aura. The yin and yang cover the sun and flow endlessly. I thought of a saying that has been passed down from ancient times!"

"Which is stronger, the moon or the sun? When yin and yang work together, the world will be the emperor!"

"No, that can't be. Could it be just an ordinary Yin-Yang technique? The Sun and the Moon have been lost for too long. It's hard to imagine that someone could practice them together without any problems."

"Think about who he is. He is the elder brother of an ancient saint. How can he practice ordinary Yin-Yang mystical techniques? He must be Taiyin and Taiyang!"

"Fuck, that makes sense!"

Listening to the faint sounds of communication coming from afar, Liu Mang's mouth twitched slightly.

He has appeared, a person who is well-informed and knowledgeable, unique to the world of Zhutian!
This kind of person can always reveal the truth to the world when necessary, knows many secrets, and can even recognize many great emperors, ancient kings, and celestial beings who are not even recorded in a few words in history, and has a certain understanding of their methods.

This time, Liu Mang met such a person. He guessed that his fellow practitioner was Taiyin and Taiyang just by looking at the appearance. Even if Liu Mang himself came, he would not dare to make such a judgment based on such little information!
"Brother, where are you coming from and where are you going?"

The old madman interrupted Liu Mang's thoughts and asked him why he came.

"I came from where I came from, and I'm going to where I'm going."

The old madman was confused. Brother, can you speak human language? I don’t understand.

Liu Mang coughed twice: "Ahem, of course I came from Beidou. I originally planned to let this Taoist body follow Ye Fan back to his hometown, but I didn't expect something went wrong and I got lost. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to drift to Ziwei. But you, why are you here too?"

Ye Fan also walked over and sent out a divine thought, presenting everything he had experienced.

This person is undoubtedly one of their own, and Ye Fan has nothing to hide.

"Ancient forbidden land!" Two terrifying rays of light shot out from the old madman's eyes. They were extremely bright, like two magic lamps, piercing through the sky.

For a full half a quarter of an hour, he remained motionless, staring at the Big Dipper. His emotions were fluctuating wildly, and he could hardly calm down.

Ye Fan knew that he had a sad past there, all his fellow disciples had died, and now he was the only one left, half crazy and half insane.

When Ye Fan's divine thought showed the purple copper warship he encountered in the dark universe, the old madman was shocked, his eyes were blazing, and he said: "A ship of ancient ancestor kings?!"

Ye Fan's heart was filled with awe. For the first time, he felt the supreme pressure of the saint. A strong fighting spirit rose up into the sky, wanting to tear up the world and rush into the universe.

He really had an illusion that the old madman had become a god, going to kill those ancient ancestor kings alone in the starry sky. "If these people don't die, the human race will be in great trouble. Their revival requires endless life sources, and even hundreds of millions of corpses will not be enough." The old madman said these words, very cold and chilling.

"What?" Ye Fan was startled and wanted to ask something, but the old madman was as calm as before and didn't say anything more, like a piece of rotten wood.

Liu Mang comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's just a boatload of ancestral kings close to death. If it wasn't for saving energy, my Taoist body would be enough to handle them all."

This Taoist body is at the peak and great perfection level of the ninth heaven of a saint, and is very close to the Saint King. After his breakthrough, the original twenty-four prohibitions have been reduced, but not as much as imagined. After several years of cultivation after the breakthrough, he now has the ability to fight across ten small realms again. This can be called the Ten Forbidden Realms!
In addition, the permanent divine ban allows the amplification secret technique to ignore barriers and take effect, and the secret of "all" can still be triggered. Adding these together, he can almost fight against a complete early Great Sage.

Although there were three great saints on that boat of the Ancestral King, they were all in a half-dead state and were still not beyond Liu Mang's ability to deal with. However, if a fight really came to pass, he would not be able to save his Taoist body.

What's more, we still have the real Great Sage, the old madman, here. If anything happens, I'll go first. There's nothing to be afraid of!
Ye Fan felt relieved and told the old madman that he came from the other side of the starry sky, a place called Earth. The old madman could travel in the universe, so he obviously had his own methods. If he could take him home... just thinking about it made his blood boil.

The old madman was silent for a long time. After a long while, he said, "It's difficult, difficult, difficult. Without the cosmic coordinates, there is no way to go to the place you said. You will get lost in the desolate sky at any time until you die."

Ye Fan felt like cold water was poured over his head when he heard this. Whether it was Mars or the ancient Earth, they all had their exact locations, but those were only their node locations on the ancient starry road, not the cosmic coordinates. It would be meaningless if he didn't take the ancient starry road. How would he know the exact cosmic coordinates?

Suddenly, the old madman's eyes lit up and shot out two dazzling rays of divine light, which penetrated into the starry sky. He stared at the Big Dipper, and then his body became weak.

"Brother, you guys go...something is going to happen to me!" He said this in a low voice.

Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat. What was going to happen to the old madman? Was his condition very bad? What was going to happen?

The next moment, Liu Mang sensed the crisis. He waved his hand and took Ye Fan and Ying Yue to retreat a long distance, away from this barren land.

The old madman shook his hand and countless array patterns appeared out of thin air, instantly submerging the area. A vast curtain of light enveloped the red earth.

This is an extremely complex and profound ancient formation, with murderous intent step by step, completely sealing off this area!
Ye Fan vaguely recognized that there was a corner of the killing formation of the Wu Shi Emperor taken out by the Black Emperor, and a corner of the divine pattern of the Void Emperor. The two were combined, and there were other magnificent and complex Taoist patterns, densely packed.

The ancient formation sealed the sky and the earth, suppressing him and making it impossible for him to escape, shocking everyone.

"What is he doing? Those look like several imperial patterns. Is he trying to suppress me to death?"

"What happened to this saint? Why did he treat me like this?"

Ye Fan also asked Liu Mang: "Master Hong, what happened to the senior?"

There was a silver light flashing in Liu Mang's eyes, and his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye and Source Heavenly Divine Eye were pushed to the limit, observing everything about the old madman.

Then he sighed:
"Crazy brother, this is because his illness has not been cured. The misery that has lasted for thousands of years has already merged with his Dao, and has become a shackle that prevents him from moving forward and even moving normally. His Dao is unwilling to be restricted, and he has been fighting against the shackles all the time. Now it has come to a critical moment, and he can no longer be distracted. He can only carry out the most intense confrontation with all his heart and soul. Any external influence may cause him to passively counterattack, and he may go crazy and kill indiscriminately, so he took the initiative to use the formation to calm himself down."

"This is a battle between the present and the past, a fierce counterattack of the Tao, and a tug-of-war between gods and demons. This confrontation is extremely fierce. If he is not careful, he will die and his Tao will be destroyed. Outsiders cannot intervene, and he can only rely on himself. However, crisis also represents opportunity. Once he succeeds, it is equivalent to living in the next life. All shackles will disappear with the past, and there will be no obstacles before he can prove his Tao!"

"Roar……"

At this moment, the old madman roared, and his dense long hair, as black as ink, turned snow-white in an instant, dancing like wild grass. He aged thousands of years in an instant!
He used to be tall and majestic, looking like a middle-aged man, but now he is extremely old, as if he had lost countless years in one day and is now extremely decrepit.

However, he looked very scary at this moment. He looked up at the sky with his dry head and his eyes were terrifying, as if he was possessed by a demon. When he let out the second roar, this ancient land completely collapsed.

“Oh my god, this was the place where the ancient Taiyin Emperor practiced in the past. He survived through countless disasters and remained immortal. But today, it was shattered by his roar!”

Liu Mang frowned, "Look, this is the past that has taken the upper hand, representing his thousands of years of hatred, which has turned into his evil heart in his paranoia. For someone like him, it's no surprise that he would kill people all over the world!"

The old madman roared, and all the stone mountains collapsed. Rocks rolled down, and it was unknown how many miles in radius. Hundreds and thousands of peaks fell in the dust, wiped out forever.

The murderous aura filled the air, and the sky seemed to have turned blood red!
Someone coughed up blood and fell in a pool of blood on the spot. Even through two incomplete imperial patterns and a large and profound ancient formation, the sound still came out and people could not bear it.

"The legend is indeed true. A single hair of an ancient saint could kill thousands of troops, and a single drop of blood could kill a saint. It's true!"

"If it weren't for the incomplete Great Emperor's formation pattern, everyone outside the field would have died. They would have been roared to pieces and evaporated into blood mist, leaving nothing behind!"

People's hearts were throbbing. The power of a saint's roar was so terrifying. If he really wanted to kill people, who could stop him? Ordinary people had insurmountable natural barriers, but he was high above them, looking down on all living beings.

"Roar……"

The old madman roared again, and the place where the ancient Taiyin Emperor sat in meditation was surging violently. A black moon appeared between the old madman's eyebrows, which was scary and creepy.

"That is, the Holy Power of Taiyin!"

"This saint is so powerful that he has condensed the Taiyin Seal. Could it be that he has practiced the Taiyin Sutra?!"

“Are you going to follow the path of the ancient emperors and comprehend the ancient scriptures such as the Moon and the Sun?!”

His roars became louder, his messy white hair danced in the air, and his body was changing rapidly, first to middle age and then to a teenager.

"boom"

Finally, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old stepped out of his body, looking heroic, extremely intimidating, and full of vigor.

Behind him, the old figure was dull and motionless, like a clay sculpture or a wooden carving, full of decadence.

The boy's eyes were like two heavenly swords, so sharp that it was impossible to look him in the eye. He was an extremely powerful and terrifying boy.

"How could this happen?!" Ye Fan was stunned.

This was a young madman. He turned around, opened his mouth and sucked, swallowing the old madman. Then his body shook violently and he completely revived.

Liu Mang sighed again: "He tried to use the Taiyin Sutra to maintain his true spirit and self, so as to achieve a state of pure heart and eternal will, in order to fight against madness. But obviously, he failed, or rather, he did not succeed completely. Taiyin allowed him to regain a trace of will from madness, but could not kill madness. Reason and madness were still fighting fiercely. So he decided to introduce a third party, the future. Reason divides madness into two, one is the madness of the past, and the other is the killing of the future. Solving them one by one can make him feel more relaxed."

The young old madman let out a loud roar, and the flattened ground sank, revealing a bottomless abyss. He waved his hand and collected all the formation patterns.

Then, he carved on the ground and preached again, as if he was deducing something. It was so complicated and profound that even the leader-level figures were dizzy and had a splitting headache.

“Dozens of ancient ancestor kings, as well as the Thousand-Handed God and Demon, you three great saints, are coming to the Ziwei Ancient Star Region to massacre billions of lives? I will kill you to prove my truth!”

The voice of the young old madman was extremely cold, like an almighty demon lord coming across the heavens and worlds and landing here.

"I'm going to kill all your ancestors!" As soon as the old madman said this, thunder sounded in the sky and on the ground, as if God had been angered.

Ye Fan was horrified. Is this the old madman who will carry the blood and killing in the future? His murderous nature is too strong!
The ancestral kings haven't decided yet whether they want to massacre the whole world, and they're not even sure if they've arrived yet. So they're going to kill them all now?

Liu Mang was relieved instead: "That's right, use the lives of that ship of ancient ancestral kings to dispel the surging murderous intent, return to the future body, and then concentrate on attacking the past body, then the great way can be achieved. Crazy brother is still amazing, he can even use the art of war on himself!"

Ye Fan shouted: "Is this the point? The point should be that he really went there! This means that the ship of ancestor kings is already in the Ziwei Star Region!"

That’s right, the old madman was not just talking to deceive his future body, he really went there.

He took a step forward, and thousands of lines suddenly burst out on the ground, forming a teleportation array. With a flick of his hand, a space channel immediately appeared, with five-colored divine light flashing. This road was like passing through heaven, heading to the end of eternity.

Then he took a step forward and went straight there!

If you never come back? Then you never come back!
Ye Fan paired this scene with the old madman in his mind, and the atmosphere suddenly became tragic, and his eyes became a little red.

Although the old madman completed his transformation in order to resolve the murderous intent, it is also a fact that he went to fight the boat of ancestor kings alone. Although Ye Fan was called Ye Hei by many people, he was really a person with a sense of justice in a broad sense.

This scene was so tragic that Ye Fan's morality and conscience, blood and feelings were all trembling violently. He wanted to follow and kill together, fighting side by side with the old madman.

But he also knew that he was not qualified to set foot on the battlefield of the saints, and the only one who was capable saw this fight as a test of the old madman's transformation and was unwilling to intervene.

Powerless, really too powerless. Ever since he broke through to the level of great power, he thought he had mastered the power and no problem could stump him anymore.

But now, he realized that all the power was an illusion, and he was still an ant, not even qualified to step onto the battlefield and die with the others!

Ye Fan’s problem is not whether he can help the old madman win the battle, but that he has no idea how to help the old madman complete his transformation without fighting to the death.

Not to mention Ye Fan, even Liu Mang couldn't find a solution quickly, and could only let the old madman fight and kill.

Ignorance and powerlessness, the two most profound incompetences in the world, Ye Fan felt it at the same time. The trace of pride and laziness that came from his breakthrough to great power was instantly swept into the garbage heap, and he re-established the spirit of hard struggle.

Liu Mang didn't know that Ye Fan had gone through so much inner drama and was unable to empathize with him.

After all, he knew that the old madman would surely win against this ship of ancestor kings. This crazy brother of his was not the old madman in the original novel. He was already a great sage at this moment. If he could only cripple this ship and even capsize, it would not be worthy for Liu Mang to call him brother.

There was nothing tragic about Liu Mang's battle that was sure to win. It was the group of ancestor kings who were tragic.

"Come on, let's go take a look too!"

Five colors flickered, ten lights shone, and when people came out, they found that they had come to a vast wilderness, with dense ancient trees, towering green mountains, a lake as big as the sea, and a vast valley, a pristine color.

This is a vast wilderness with no end and vegetation everywhere, but it is a little different, as if it lacks some vitality.

"This is a great wilderness in Luzhou. It's endless. I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Many people can't get out after entering it."

"Hiss, what happened here? It seems like all life is gone!"

Ye Fan was shocked. Is this the place where all life was devoured by the Ancestral King? The wilderness where billions of lives should have lived now has not a single life left. It seems that all the lives have died!
Is this the Zu Wang?
