Chapter 284 God Realm
Spirit world.
Stepping into this realm of the gods, the past glory seems like a vanished dream, leaving only endless emptiness and a sense of melancholy.
The auspicious glow of the heavens no longer lingered in the sky; instead, a gloomy gray, thick as ink, weighed heavily on the heart. The vast, boundless sea of clouds had also lost its former vibrancy; they remained still, like giant wads of cotton, sealed by the dust of time, piled up between heaven and earth.
The majestic palace complex stood in a scattered array, yet remained utterly silent. The palace gates were ajar, swaying gently in the biting wind, emitting a faint creak that only accentuated the deathly stillness of the place. The once-glorious glazed tiles were now covered in mottled rust, their color appearing cold and hard in the dim light. Inside the palaces, the ornate decorations were long since covered in dust; the exquisite murals, faded with age, still faintly revealed scenes of the gods' past feasts—but now, all of that was gone.
On the path to the gods, no one was to be seen, only scattered divine artifacts, forgotten and unattended. Some artifacts had dimmed light, as if they had lost the protection of divine power; others were broken and shattered, their fragments trembling in the wind, telling tales of fierce battles fought to the death. The sacred trees by the roadside were bare, their withered branches reaching out to the sky like claws, as if silently crying out, or making a final struggle against fate.
The sacred spring that once flowed with spiritual nectar is now completely dry, its bottom covered with cracks, like the earth's fissures. Occasionally, a few fallen leaves drift into the spring, making a soft sound before returning to stillness.
In this desolate realm of gods, every breath of air is filled with desolation and loneliness.
"What on earth is going on!" Zhong Yingxiu exclaimed, her voice echoing in the empty divine realm, adding an eerie touch.
"It looks like it's been abandoned." Qiao Qingzi looked around worriedly and moved closer to Xia Mengqi.
"What kind of divine realm is this? Even the weakest demons wouldn't want to stay in a place like this." Qingqiu Yu looked around with disdain and kicked at the pebbles beside her.
Xie Wanning looked around blankly. Qin Muyang reached out and took Xie Wanning's hand, comforting her, "It's alright, Junior Sister Tian is just injured. We'll be able to see Junior Sister Tian again when we descend to the mortal realm."
Xie Wanning simply nodded, unable to even manage a smile.
She knew Qin Muyang was trying to comfort her, but she couldn't believe it because she saw the powerful lightning bolt actually strike Tian Ruochun.
"I can hold on. Finding the Heavenly Dao is the most important thing now." Xie Wanning lowered her eyes, hiding the anger in them.
Suddenly, the entire divine realm trembled.
A blinding golden light burst forth from the depths of the endless void without warning. This light, like a blade that split the heavens and the earth, instantly tore through the dark clouds, illuminating the entire divine realm in a golden glow.
At the center of that light, a figure slowly emerged. His body was surrounded by mysterious and ancient runes, each rune radiating a mystical power, as if recounting the secrets of the world's beginning. His form was tall and majestic, seemingly able to reach the heavens and the earth, making everything else in the world appear so insignificant.
When He fully revealed Him, everyone finally saw that He had a pair of golden eyes, eyes devoid of any emotion, only endless indifference and profundity. Wherever His gaze swept, everything trembled, as if under His watchful eye, nothing could hide.
These golden eyes, like two blazing suns in the universe, radiate a chilling light, seemingly containing supreme power that controls the life and death of all things. Anyone who looks directly into their eyes will feel their soul being pulled by an invisible force, as if being sucked into that endless golden abyss.
With the arrival of the Heavenly Dao, the entire world bowed before Him. The winds howled, as if cheering His arrival; thunder roared, as if playing a majestic symphony for Him. He, the Heavenly Dao Fusang, the ruler of all things, the embodiment of rules and order, appeared in a breathtaking manner, proclaiming His supreme authority.
An immense pressure instantly crushed everyone's shoulders, the air became so heavy it was hard to breathe, and everyone's bodies stiffened, afraid to raise their heads.
"thump!"
No one could withstand such immense pressure. It was as if everyone was being violently pulled forward by an invisible and irresistible force, their bodies tilting forward uncontrollably, their knees slamming heavily into the ground with muffled thuds.
Large beads of sweat rolled down Xie Wanning's forehead. Her hands clenched unconsciously, her nails digging deep into her palms. She bit her lip, using the pain to keep herself from fainting.
This feeling was utterly repulsive. Yan Ze had repeatedly used intimidation to force her into submission, and now even the Heavenly Dao was employing the same tactics. What a coincidence!
The others did the same, forcing themselves to stay awake and not fall into a coma.
At the same time, the glorious and majestic image of the Heavenly Dao described in the book was instantly shattered, and everyone was shocked by the cold and ruthless appearance of the Heavenly Dao.
"What brings you here?" Fusang's majestic voice rang in everyone's ears, sending chills down their spines.
Xie Wanning suppressed her anger and was about to speak when Qin Muyang stopped her and said respectfully, "Lord Heavenly Dao, we have come here to beg you for mercy. The cultivation world carries the dreams and hopes of countless cultivators. They are devout in their pursuit of the Dao and have never forgotten their original intentions. We hope you will show leniency and spare the cultivation world."
"Let them go?" Fusang leaned forward, his gaze falling on Xie Wanning. "Sure! But I need one of them to stay behind."
Xie Wanning couldn't help but sneer, "What? Fusang, you're not even pretending this time, are you so eager to take my life?"
Fusang spread his hands and said coldly, "The entire cultivation world is under my jurisdiction, and I can control the life and death of anyone. As for you, Xie Wanning, don't resist, and I will mercifully spare the rest of the cultivation world."
Xie Wan's gaze shifted slightly, and she was actually somewhat moved.
Could her life be exchanged for everyone else's survival? It seems like a very good deal.
only……
Qin Muyang blocked Xie Wanning's way and said in a deep voice, "Wanning, don't believe his nonsense. I just 'saw' it. Heaven will not let anyone go. His killing intent towards the cultivation world has never changed."
Meng Qingyue looked at Xie Wanning and said firmly, "Senior Sister, don't forget, we have to go back to see Master together. We can't break our promise."
"Junior Sister Xie, don't be afraid." Xia Mengqi stood in front of Xie Wanning, while Ji Yun stood with Xia Mengqi.
Qingqiu Yu decisively drew his bow and arrow, cautiously observing Fusang.
Qiao Qingzi, Zhong Yingxiu, and Su Anying stood beside Xie Wanning without flinching.
Once, Xie Wanning had only a handful of people behind her, isolated and helpless; now, Xie Wanning has everyone in the cultivation world behind her, and she can command a hundred responses with a single call.
She was no longer alone.
"Luo Ze, Gui Chen, bring your swords!"
