The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 260 Deep Within the Realm of the Void God

Boom!
After passing through the mysterious passage, Chen Wu appeared on a platform.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that there are thick stone pillars surrounding the area, their surfaces flashing with dangerous lightning.

Those electric arcs, some red, some black, some blue, were breathtaking.

They intertwined, like chains, sealing off the entire platform.

"A prison?" Chen Wu muttered to himself, seemingly lost in thought.

At the same time, a silver-armored being suddenly appeared and coldly said, "Being from the upper realm, state your name and origin."

As it spoke, silver divine fire ignited on its armor, radiating an aura comparable to that of a Venerable One.

Clearly, this is a silver-armored deity, formed from the rules of the Void God Realm, specifically guarding this place, just like the stone figures in the Spirit Realm.

"What about the Second Best in the World and Immortal Golden Daoist? I'd like to meet them," Chen Wu asked.

The Second in the World, Immortal Golden Daoist, the behind-the-scenes controller of the Void God Realm.

The former was originally a dragon, but it was defeated by the only true dragon and could only be ranked second; as for the latter, as its name suggests, it came from the spiritual power of immortal gold and can be regarded as a holy spirit.

Both of them were originally Celestial Kings, living in the same era as the Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit.

But in that brutal battle, they suffered severe injuries, their remnant souls separated from their bodies, and were led to the Realm of the Void Gods. From then on, they lived in a daze, losing all their memories.

Therefore, when the young Shi Hao first entered the Void God Realm and met the two of them, they had already transformed into "shady merchants," obsessed with swindling money, and were even given the nicknames "Bird Master" and "Master Jingbi."

"No, you have an unfathomable aura about you, and your origins are unknown. We cannot let you go out to see those two officials."

At this moment, the silver-armored deity stared at Chen Wu, symbols flowing in his eyes, as if facing a formidable enemy.

After hearing this, Chen Wu sighed softly.

"In that case, I'll go find it myself!"

Then, he stepped out of the cage and captured the silver-armored deity, whose face was filled with disbelief, in his palm.

"Another being that has broken through the limits?" The silver-armored creature couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

As is well known, both the Realm of Gods and the Realm of Spirits have a terrible limitation: the power that can be exerted within a specific area has an upper limit.

For example, some places only support the Blood Transformation Realm at the highest level, some places only support the Cave Heaven Realm at the highest level, some places only support the Spirit Transformation Realm at the highest level, and so on.

No matter how powerful your true cultivation level is, once you enter, you can only display the power corresponding to that level.

But Chen Wu's performance has shattered the silver-armored deity's perception, immediately reminding it of a young man who repeatedly broke records and created myths back then.

"You also broke through the limits and defied the rules?" the silver-armored deity asked incredulously.

"I have many more places to go, so I won't waste my time with you."

Having said that, Chen Wu picked it up and soared into the sky.

……

Deep within the Void God Realm, atop a mountain at its highest point, two old men sat facing each other, their bodies radiating a terrifying aura.

The aura had a dark feel to it, which was quite unsettling.

At this moment, Chen Wu's figure suddenly appeared from above and then quickly landed here.

As for the silver-armored celestial being, he was still firmly in his grasp, unable to escape.

"Who are you? Why are you holding my bird?"

The Second Under Heaven opened his eyes, his face filled with anger, and a dense aura of darkness emanated from his body.

The Immortal Golden Daoist next to him also looked over, and after scrutinizing him repeatedly, he drooled and said, "This guy seems to be very rich. Should we make a move?"

"Hmm, now that you mention it, it's true, a big fat sheep has arrived." Upon hearing this, the Second Under Heaven's eyes immediately lit up.

"Let's do it!" Immortal Golden Daoist wiped his drool, cheered himself on, and said, "If this job goes through, I won't have to work hard for the rest of my life."

Seeing the two of them openly plotting, Chen Wu couldn't help but laugh in anger.

"Your symptoms are getting worse, and you've forgotten who you are again."

"Look carefully, I was introduced by Huang."

Chen Wu knew that the Second Under Heaven and Immortal Golden Daoist were lost because their primordial spirits were residing in the Void God Realm, their true bodies were nowhere to be found, and they had been unable to return for a long time. They had also come into contact with the imprisoned dark beings, so they gradually lost their way.

However, Shi Hao was very close to them, and mentioning the latter usually had a remarkable effect. Sure enough, in the next instant, the eyes of the second-best in the world suddenly gleamed.

"shortage?"

"You mean that little kid who loves to drink animal milk?"

As if they had awakened, the dark aura around them faded away, replaced by a holy and peaceful light.

Seeing this, Chen Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they remembered Shi Hao and didn't turn their backs on their family.

Otherwise, if a fight were to break out, even he would have a bit of a headache.

"Wait, how can we be sure you weren't introduced by that kid?" The Second Under Heaven suddenly changed his expression.

"This is simple."

Chen Wu smiled and then sent a divine thought to Chen Wu.

Then, the two looked at each other, and their suspicions gradually faded.

……

"So it really is related to that kid."

The second-best in the world tilted his head and scrutinized Chen Wu repeatedly, while the bird on his shoulder made the same gesture.

Immortal Golden Daoist asked with a look of astonishment, "But where did you come from, you freak?"

"The focus isn't on me, it's on you." Chen Wu changed the subject, saying, "You can be gods or demons in an instant. How long can you hold on? Don't let those things get out."

Upon hearing this, the Second Under Heaven was immediately displeased. He glared at them and said, "Don't underestimate us, kid. We can hold out for a long time, okay?"

As for the Immortal Golden Daoist beside him, he keenly noticed something and his expression changed slightly.

"Do you know the secrets of the Realm of the Void Gods?" he asked instinctively.

Chen Wu replied, "Of course! That's why I came here. Could you take me to see them?"

"No way!" The two old men immediately shook their heads like rattles, indicating their refusal.

"Is it because I'm not strong enough?" Chen Wu countered.

These words immediately made them look embarrassed, unsure of how to respond.

"Uh, your strength is definitely not a problem. I really don't know how you trained to that level, but..."

"Just what?" Chen Wu asked with a warm smile. "Are you worried that I'll be corrupted by darkness?"

"Forget it." Immortal Golden Daoist made his decision, shouting, "This kid looks like he's full of bad intentions, why worry about him!"

Since things have come to this point, even the second-best in the world has no choice but to nod in agreement.

……

Next, led by the two, Chen Wu broke through the clouds and ascended to the sky, arriving at a vast and boundless chaotic area via the ancient road.

The bluestone path, laid out in the void, winds and twists.

Continue along this road, and at the end stands a huge black hall, which is the prison for holding prisoners.

Upon entering the hall, it was very dark, but one could still make out some details. In the center were some stone statues, their bodies locked in iron chains, which made them appear ancient and mysterious.

It is worth noting that all of these stone statues are cracked, and a faint black mist emanates from them, possessing a demonic power.

"Be careful, don't get too close," said the Second Best in the World.

"You two were corrupted by them, weren't you?" Chen Wu asked.

Immortal Golden Daoist replied, "Not entirely, there are other factors at play."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wu continued walking forward, passing directly through the main hall and arriving at the prison behind it.

He saw a group of altars, each with a sealed earthenware jar stained with blood.

The earthenware pots were also emitting black mist, eerie and unpredictable, just like the stone statues in front of them.

"Be careful, the creatures in the jars are all infected by darkness. If they find a weakness, you'll either get lost or be possessed," the Second Under Heaven warned in a low voice, his face grave.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm just having a heart-to-heart talk with them; I won't go too far." Chen Wu smiled, revealing his white teeth.
