The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 273 Life and Death

As Chen Wu finished speaking, an immense aura suddenly erupted, connecting the past, resonating with the present, and reflecting the future.

Boom!

The vast and boundless Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Wheels suddenly exploded, with nine life springs gushing forth, and towering waves carrying endless hordes of corpses crashing down.

Suddenly, everyone present looked up, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief.

They saw a figure, both real and illusory, surrounded by the dust of time, making it impossible to see its true appearance.

But His invincible aura was too overwhelming. Even a quasi-Celestial Venerable level expert trembled, as if he felt the fear that directly affected the very essence of his soul.

The sight was so astonishing that Wu Gen and Xu Dong were shocked and a bad feeling arose deep in their hearts.

"Oh no, could it be a Celestial Venerable's corpse turning into a zombie?"

Just kidding, they only wanted to try to revive the true spirit of Lingbao Tianzun, but now they haven't even completed the first step, yet they are horrified to find that their ancestor's sea of ​​consciousness has become abnormal.

If it were truly a zombie apocalypse, the harm would be immense; across the entire universe, there would be very few who could withstand it.

Thinking of this, Wu Gen and Xu Dong hurriedly sat cross-legged and chanted the sutra of salvation, trying to stop it.

"The accumulated yang becomes the spirit, and there is form within the spirit. The form is born from the sun, and the sun is born from the moon. The accumulated yin forms the form, and there is spirit within the form..."

In an instant, the powerful and resonant chanting of scriptures was deafening, and the ancient bronze lamp in front of the two men shone brightly.

But all of this was in vain. Then, the vast sea of ​​bitterness boiled like lava, and countless mysterious runes rose from the waves and appeared on the corpses, weaving together a giant net of laws that covered the heavens and the earth.

The reflection above shows the annihilation of stars and the collapse of ancient history. Every drop of seawater turns into fragments of memory, dragging everyone into a vortex of time and space.

……

At this moment, the Yellow Springs flow, the other shore flowers bloom, filling the sky, evolving the Great Dao of Life and Death, blurring the boundary between the two.

As for the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Wheels below, it returned to calm once more, without a ripple. The ancient corpse and the various heroes had all vanished.

In the darkness, the sound of Tao resounded continuously, echoing throughout the universe, as if the "deceased self" was chanting scriptures for this life, or as if the "Taoist self" was attaining enlightenment in the future.

As they listened, the deity within the Spirit Treasure Killing Array Diagram suddenly realized, "So the so-called burial of the dead... is to use all living beings as sacrifices to retrieve my master from the long river of time!"

Chen Wu whispered, "Lingbao seems to be in a state of annihilation, and his Heavenly Venerable consciousness has also disappeared, but his life wheel has not collapsed, and he is in a strange state of hovering between life and death."

"If no one intervenes from an external perspective, it will likely fall into eternal silence over time, which will be no different from its demise."

Having said that, he gently caught a falling petal from the sea of ​​crimson flowers, showing neither joy nor sorrow.

Seeing this, Lingbao Killing Array Diagram curiously probed with its divine sense, only to discover that a strange scene was clearly displayed on the petals.

It was an irregularly shaped star, resembling a head, hidden among the stars.

Above the stars, majestic mountains rise, with many towering peaks reaching tens of thousands of feet into the clouds, shrouded in chaotic energy, resembling a primordial land, where the rumbling sounds of the Great Dao can be heard.

At its very core, a strange liquid surges and dances, radiating light and radiating an immortal divine brilliance, so dazzling and crystalline that it can easily be mistaken for flames if not observed closely.

"This, this..." Lingbao Killing Array Diagram was extremely surprised.

Because that star is actually the head that Lingbao Tianzun separated from his body, containing the complete Sendai Secret Realm. At this point in time, the world has not yet discovered its existence. If they did, it would surely cause a major upheaval and a huge uproar.

"Heavenly Venerable, please forgive me. It was I who sealed my master's head in an uninhabited star field. To avoid being disturbed by ignorant people, I did not inform him in time." The Spirit Treasure Killing Array Diagram rose and fell, filled with unease.

Chen Wu coldly said, "Do you think your methods are so clever? The seal can only be effective temporarily. You don't even need the Dao Prover to take action. All it takes is for a Quasi-Celestial Venerable to patiently search, and it will be discovered sooner or later."

Hearing this,

The deity of the Lingbao Killing Formation Diagram immediately chose to respectfully apologize, saying, "What the Heavenly Venerable says is absolutely right. It was my negligence that led me to underestimate the outstanding talents of later generations."

In fact, what Chen Wu said was not unfounded.

In the original historical trajectory, Lingbao Tianzun perished, and his supreme celestial body naturally evolved and dispersed to various places in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Leaving aside the many Celestial Venerables who came after that, let's focus on one person in particular: the Emperor Venerable at the end of the Mythological Era. He must have investigated the life and death status of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao.

According to later records, it is unclear what the Emperor did specifically. In any case, the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao did not revive and return. The star that evolved from his head was used by the Heavenly Court as a place to train and cultivate heavenly soldiers and generals, and was named the Ancient Star of Heavenly Soldiers.

In the distant post-ancient era, another golden crow at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm was targeted by the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone when it was about to undergo the Great Emperor Tribulation. In order to protect itself, it deliberately failed the tribulation, damaging its own foundation. Then, it risked everything to be reborn and live a second life.

That being was none other than the Golden Crow Emperor. Its egg lay dormant deep within the core of the Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star, absorbing the essence of immortal liquid within. Finally, taking advantage of the opening of the path to immortality, it succeeded in proving its Dao anew, ahead of everyone else.

The above is only what is known. By the time Ye Fan became active, Lingbao Tianzun's Four Extremes and Dragon Transformation Secret Realm had long since disappeared without a trace. Only the Sea of ​​Wheels, Dao Palace, and Immortal Platform Secret Realm remained, which were respectively revered as the Other Shore of Gods and the Ancient Star of Heavenly Soldiers, and were rare places of creation in the eyes of the world.

"Return to the source! Those who quell chaos for all living beings will attain liberation from the cycle of reincarnation!"

At this moment, Chen Wu seemed like an unparalleled ruler who controlled the eternal cycle of reincarnation, his eyes opening and closing with profound and transcendent light.

The petal of the other shore flower in his hand also came to life, and in an instant, it broke through the boundless starry sky and merged into the head of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao.

In the next instant, deep within the core of that star, raging flames erupted, displaying the immense power of the ultimate laws, accompanied by a strange fluctuation.

"Master?" Lingbao Killing Formation Diagram exclaimed in surprise.

It sensed it; it was the spiritual fluctuation of Lingbao Tianzun. Although its power was far less than at its peak, it was genuine and possessed immortal divinity in essence, representing a miracle of resurrection from the dead.

However, has Lingbao Tianzun truly returned?

Chen Wu smiled and said that this was debatable and that no conclusion could be drawn at the moment.

"You are his weapon, so go and experience it for yourself."

After saying that, he casually pointed a finger, instantly stirring up countless ripples of the Great Dao.

"I……"

Before he could finish speaking, the world spun around him, and the deity inside the Spirit Treasure Killing Array Diagram immediately lost consciousness and plunged straight into the Sea of ​​Bitterness below.

"The curtain slowly rises, and a dialogue between life and death is about to begin. In this world, how many people can transcend it?"

Chen Wu murmured to himself, his figure flashing like light and lightning, and then gradually disappeared.
