The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 240 Journey to Another World

Rumble!
Suddenly, the heavens and earth trembled violently. Blinding lightning surged and endless bolts of lightning intertwined, carrying an aura of supreme power, about to strike down as if to annihilate all the heavens and myriad realms.

This is the most terrifying calamity; a single bolt of lightning could sink an entire continent. If this were to happen outside the world, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"So it's you! You actually came too!"

The sound emanating from the cauldron was noticeably more delightful than before.

After he finished speaking, the cauldron moved, facing the high heavens. Its mouth shone with nine-colored light, drawing down all the lightning.

Zizizi!
With a deafening roar, the heavens and earth crumbled, and the world-destroying tribulation that was brewing was gradually extinguished.

At the same time, the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron spewed out some of the Mother Qi of All Things, which spread into this void and erased the void cracks of all sizes.

"Not only did it quell the lightning tribulation, but it also severed the karmic ties between us?" Chen Wu murmured upon seeing this.

Based on what we know so far, the mysterious being inside the cauldron is most likely Ye Fan from the future, and his realm is at least that of a Celestial King giant, or perhaps even higher.

The reason why it cannot be determined is mainly because the realms above the Immortal King level are too powerful and mysterious for Chen Wu to comprehend at present.

"It's me who arrived early, not you!" The voice came from inside the cauldron once again.

"Oh, you came here for Shi Hao, right?" Chen Wu asked.

“That’s right, I originally wanted to find him, but I arrived too early. However, fortunately, I at least ran into you here. If the Burning Maiden knew this news, she would definitely be very happy, she…”

boom! ! !
Before he could finish speaking, the heavenly tribulation that had just been eliminated suddenly reappeared out of thin air, with billions of beams of immortal light and endless lightning like a silver waterfall from the heavens, all striking down.

The being inside the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron was forced to stop speaking. Countless patterns appeared on it, all like array diagrams, and they flew up one after another, sealing the heavens and refining the lightning tribulations.

Such methods are naturally earth-shattering and awe-inspiring, and can only be performed by powerhouses at the level of Immortal King or above.

However, Chen Wu did not rush to comprehend it, but instead pondered the half-finished sentence from before.

Two people from different points in the future are communicating in the same past. The cause and effect involved are unimaginable. A few words could change history and have far-reaching consequences.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like he'd heard that mysterious name somewhere before. However, he couldn't find any corresponding memories of it no matter how hard he tried.

Finally, when the world was quiet again and everything calmed down, Chen Wu suddenly asked, "Who was that person you were talking about just now?"

After these words were spoken, the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron fell silent. There was no response or sound from within; it was deathly still.

It can be seen that it has become much dimmer. Although the blood droplets on it are still rolling, the strange light that once shone from within has returned to its grayness.

Clearly, it came at a great cost.

"What are you worried about?" Chen Wu questioned.

Seeing this, how could he not know that the other party had deliberately chosen to conceal it?

However, as soon as Chen Wu finished speaking, the lightning tribulation in the void suddenly intensified several times, with immortal light spreading and the overwhelming pressure of the Great Dao.

"If you're worried about heavenly tribulations or fearful of karma, then let me bear it. There's nothing to hide."

boom!
The lightning tribulation in the sky had descended for what seemed like the umpteenth time, but unlike any before, it was triggered solely by Chen Wu's words.

The cauldron stirred again, its crimson blood glowing and sending forth a sky full of red light, attempting to dispel the thunder.

As a result, Chen Wu made the first move.

"I said I would bear all the consequences!"

He unleashed a powerful punch that shook the heavens and obliterated all paths.

Boom!
That punch was dazzling and blazing, completely engulfed in flames, forcefully piercing through the world of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Fortunately, they had already left the forbidden imperial city through the void rift; otherwise, the commotion alone would have made the guardians of the imperial city mistakenly believe that the alien realm had launched a large-scale attack.

"As expected, it is you who has walked the most unique path to immortality in the mortal world. You have not yet completed the journey, but you already possess combat power comparable to a quasi-immortal king."

"It's a pity we were a step too late. We couldn't switch to the Human Body Gate cultivation system that you created and perfected. That method is just too difficult, and you just happened to disappear into history." The mysterious being inside the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron sighed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wu remained motionless, his eyes shining brightly.

"The gateway to the human body?"

In that instant, his mind raced, his thoughts wandering, and many things came to mind. From the moment he encountered the Gate of Immortality, the path that followed had subtly changed, as if an invisible hand was secretly pushing things further away from his initial plan.

Looking back at the beginning of his path to enlightenment, due to a lack of prior experience, Chen Wu's vision for the immortal path in the mortal world was based as much as possible on Ye Fan's ideas.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely take the elixir of immortality, transform into a chaotic body, and eventually sever his origins to return to a mortal body. If possible, he will also seek out the Divine Silkworm Clan to observe the essence of the Nine Transformations.

Therefore, there will be no combination of "Great Dream of Eternity" and "Heart Transformation into Mortal World," no "Heavenly Mind Holy Spirit Method," and no attempt to trace back to the chaotic past and extend from Heaven to Man.

It's not that this road is bad; in fact, quite the opposite, it's far superior.

Thinking of all this, Chen Wu felt a pang of melancholy.

"What do you mean?" he asked softly.

"I'm sorry, I really can't answer your question. In the end, the answer comes back to you."

After leaving those words, the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron fell completely silent. No matter how it was questioned, no sound came out, and Chen Wu had no way to deal with it.

"Alright, that's settled then. Once I reach the summit, I'll find the answer myself," Chen Wu said calmly.

"However, considering the previous events, I can tell you that Shi Hao should arrive here soon. Think about what you want to say in advance, so as not to attract another heavenly tribulation."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron trembled and shone brightly, as if resonating with them and feeling deeply joyful.

"Well then, goodbye, farewell."

With that, Chen Wu waved his hand and turned to leave.

Beneath its feet, white bones lay like snow, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Will you appear in that battle?" Suddenly, the cauldron spoke again, now using all its strength to resist a mysterious rule, trying to get an answer.

boom!
Endless chains of divine order intertwined, and lightning, accompanied by celestial energy, struck down, their target none other than the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron.

"If I were there, I certainly wouldn't have stood idly by." Chen Wu didn't turn his head, letting it be engulfed by the world-destroying lightning tribulation.

In the end, all the immortal lightning turned into a rain of light and dissipated. When the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron looked on with anticipation, it found that Chen Wu had already left.

"I saw a glimpse of the inside story, an eternal loneliness, yet I can only embark on the journey alone."

"Eternal, calamity, no return... Is this the truth?" It suddenly let out a sigh.

……

Chen Wu continued forward, leaving the area where the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron was located, and truly arrived at another realm.

Purple peaks appeared, quite numerous, covered with lush vegetation, gurgling springs, and fragrant aromas, as if one had entered the medicinal garden of some great being.

“The world is different now, and the rules have changed,” Chen Wu muttered to himself.

With a simple sweep of his divine sense, he indeed found the presence of the sacred medicine, including a divine herb. They exhaled spiritual energy and radiated holy light.

Other cultivators might have rushed over excitedly, thus overlooking the terrifying scene hidden beneath the vibrant life.

A soft sound,
Chen Wu tore open the earth, and the corpses buried in the soil were immediately revealed.

Long years have passed, and the remains remain incorruptible, though the flesh and blood have dried up, with only a layer of old skin clinging tightly to the bones, making it look terrifying and gruesome.

There are quite a few similar cases. Clearly, they must have been powerful people in life, and their corpses still contain a considerable amount of life essence after death.

Those divine medicines and sacred herbs take root in the corpses, absorbing their essence and growing from them.

Chen Wu glanced at them and immediately concluded: these people were once the ancestors of the Three Thousand Provinces. He didn't know whether they were captured or died in battle in this realm. In any case, they all became nourishment.

"You didn't even bother with refining it. Doesn't it taste disgusting to eat something cultivated like this?" Chen Wu frowned slightly.

Even though they were on opposing sides and enemies, he surprisingly didn't feel much anger.

"That's true. What's the big deal? If it can make you stronger, even if it means eating people, there will still be many people eager to do it."

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Wu got up and strode toward the distant city.
