The Great Road of Shading the Sky

Chapter 281 The Dark Blood Age, The Cycle of the Three Realms!
In the Great Yang Realm, on the scorched earth at the border of Yuzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou, a cold, metallic ship set sail and plunged into the shattered spacetime rift.

Several figures stood side by side on the boat, motionless, like stone statues or ancient gods and demons enshrined in a temple, exuding majesty and remaining silent.

The lapis lazuli ship emitted a hazy light, always moving straight ahead, like a sharp blade cleaving through the vast chaos, sailing through the chaotic realm where waves surged.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a roar came from the chaotic sea, breaking the silence. The explosion was powerful enough to pierce one's soul, especially with the light of flying immortals and the terrifying pressure that filled the air.

That was chaotic lightning, erupting with extraordinary ferocity, resounding incessantly, illuminating the area ahead with blinding brilliance, its intensity unparalleled, the lightning surging and churning like a vast ocean.

Even the lapis lazuli ships had to detour, not daring to get too close, for fear of being affected.

Within the chaos lies immense opportunity, but also endless crisis, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The lapis lazuli ship, which housed a decree, now radiated brilliant golden symbols and emitted a multitude of runes, enveloping the entire ship.

Even so, encountering such terrifying lightning in the chaotic sea, even just the outer arcs of electricity, is an extremely dangerous and troublesome disaster.

It was a devastating calamity, capable of easily turning a god-king into ashes, tearing apart a celestial-level powerhouse, and even causing great beings to turn pale and avoid further contact.

Fortunately, the decree enshrined on the ship was written by a powerful being himself. As long as we didn't venture deep into the chaotic thunder, we were ultimately safe and successfully resisted the erosion of the electric arcs.

And so, the lapis lazuli ship crossed the river, and the figures on board breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions grew even more solemn, remaining motionless and silent.

Meanwhile, behind them, in the chaotic sea, were several large ships, each carrying different decrees, all heading towards the same goal: that small and distorted strange world.

In fact, there was something even faster than them; from that chaos, an ancient little boat was already nearing the edge of the strange world.

Four people stood on the ancient boat, two women and two men, all of whom were very powerful and had outstanding temperaments. In particular, the white-haired woman in the lead had an aura that faintly surpassed that of a Heavenly Venerable, indicating that she was actually a Primordial Grandmaster in person.

Logically speaking, powerful beings would not easily take risks, and rarely personally participate in battles. Especially since even the Martial Maniac has retreated, what are powerful beings compared to him?
But the white-haired female expert Ling still came, because she was the disciple of the Martial Maniac!
A shared madness and madness, a willingness to take risks, and a ruthless approach to achieving goals.

The white-haired female powerhouse behind Ling, along with the one woman and two men, were all her disciples, and all three were among the best of the Heavenly Venerables.

Although there were only four of them, master and disciples, they were far superior to all other forces.

So what if we bring a whole ship full of people?

In their eyes, they're all just dirt chickens and clay dogs!

"We've finally made it. This isn't even the Chaos Sea on the way to the Great Underworld; we're just passing through the edge. I didn't expect it to be this terrifying. If it weren't for Master, we wouldn't have been able to get through so easily with just the decree."

One of them spoke; he was a man wearing gleaming armor.

"With Master personally leading the way and guidance left by Grandmaster, we are naturally safe. However, there are strange things about that world, which even Grandmaster had to retreat from. Does Master really intend to go there in person?"

The only female disciple felt uneasy. She was also the senior sister of Taiwu Tianzun, named Xuanzhao, who was much stronger than Taiwu.

"It's alright. Your grandmaster left because he had already achieved his goal and there was no need for him to linger and waste a precious avatar," the white-haired female powerhouse Ling explained briefly.

Only a few of the martial arts fanatic's close disciples knew that their master had already reached the pinnacle of skill and evolved to an unbelievable level, surpassing even the legendary immortals!

Other forces in the mortal realm all regarded the avatar that appeared as the madman himself, and some even plotted something, destined to suffer calamity because of it.

"But you're right, this world is indeed not simple. There are residual fluctuations of the Primordial Law, and many other things that are hard to explain."

The white-haired female expert Ling spoke up, sensing some danger from afar. Fortunately, she was carrying a supreme treasure, giving her complete confidence.

The chaotic rift had been sealed off, but a powerful being could still cross it if they came to it.

Before long, at the edge of the strange world's universe, other beings from the mortal realm appeared from the chaotic sea, piloting warships carrying the decrees of powerful beings, and approached this place.

They didn't communicate much with each other because they belonged to different factions, and in the current situation, they needed to avoid clashes as much as possible.

"Each person will use their own methods to find the legendary artifacts and their heritage; whoever finds them will own them."

"Well, let's set some rules first. I wonder what happened with that group from before; I hope they didn't start fighting each other."

“Let’s go. Something that’s legendary in our mortal world could actually be lost in this little underworld. Although there are rumors that this place was once glorious in ancient times, it’s still hard to believe, but we can’t completely disbelieve it. What if it’s true?”

Then, the area fell silent.

After setting off on their respective journeys, they each took their own actions, with many followers emerging from the warships and entering the strange world in groups.

This time, there were more Celestial Venerables than last time, but Yao Yao was no longer there, so no one could hunt down these invaders from the mortal realm.

The local forces had not enjoyed a long period of peace before suffering another calamity. Fortunately, they possessed powerful ancient artifacts that had been unearthed, which allowed them to hold onto their respective sects.

However, not all ethnic groups and sects possess ancient artifacts with terrifying power, and many forces still suffer bloody suppression.

When the white-haired female powerhouse could no longer restrain herself and was about to make a move, the balance of power instantly became unbalanced. Even if the local forces had supreme artifacts left over from the past, what good were they? Artifacts are ultimately inanimate, and if a person is not capable, then they are not capable.

Earth, Kunlun Mountains.

Chu Feng and his companions returned from their travels through the starry sky and held a grand banquet here, which was very lively.

"With the revival of all paths and the rise of numerous heroes, a golden age is about to begin!" Chang Ming, having returned to the Saint realm, laughed as he spoke.

He was overjoyed to see Chu Feng and his promising young talents return safely.

Although Yao Yao didn't come back, now that the other person has shown up, they should be alright, right?
“I have the same feeling. Well, I’ve recently started to learn about divination, so let me do a divination,” said the Holy Master Yi Chen.

He studied the Dao of the field, and when he encountered the revival of heaven and earth, all kinds of great Dao rules were laid bare before his eyes. The field puzzles that he had been struggling to understand before suddenly became clear, and the gains were simply too great.

Enveloped in ethereal mist, rows of green pines swayed like the sound of waves, and on those peaks grew fragrant orchids and spiritual herbs, amidst the rising clouds and mist.

A group of people were toasting and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere, and they all surrounded the Holy Master.

The holy master first divined the whereabouts of Yao Yao. The divination showed that the secrets of heaven were in complete chaos, and nothing could be seen.

"That's a bit strange. She doesn't seem to be in this world. Could it be that she went to the world of those outsiders, the so-called mortal realm?" "Uncle, is your divination reliable? Why don't you tell me when I can go home?" the girl Xi said with a grin.

The Holy Master's face darkened slightly. He felt that Yao Yao was a special being, possessing great fortune, and would not easily encounter any trouble. Even if she went to the mortal realm, she would rise to prominence quickly.

With this in mind, he made up his mind, retrieved various secret treasures, calmed his mind and carefully offered sacrifices to the heavens, and then began divination again.

"puff!"

A moment later, the Holy Master Yichen suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turned deathly pale, and all those divination treasures shattered and then burned to ashes.

Then, his long, jet-black hair turned snow-white in an instant, and his body seemed to have aged infinitely many years, exuding an aura of decay, becoming frail and old, which shocked everyone!
"Holy Master, what's wrong with you?!" Chu Feng and the others were shocked.

"It's alright, I won't die." The Holy Master waved his hand, coughing up another mouthful of blood, but his eyes remained fixed on the divination treasures that had turned to ashes.

"This is a terrible omen! It's a sign of a rift in the heavens!" he muttered to himself.

This divination is terrifying. It foretells that the world will be filled with bloodshed and wailing ghosts. What golden age? It is clearly the coming of a dark age, which will be extremely tragic!
"Never mind the divination for now. You're not an expert in this field. Here are some medicinal leaves. Take them quickly to heal your injuries and avoid leaving any hidden dangers," Chang Ming said.

"Keep those for yourself. I have elixirs, so I'm safe." The Holy Master Yi Chen consumed the other two Fruits of Life that Shao Hua had left behind.

He originally wanted to give one to Yao Yao, but Yao Yao said she had a better one, so the last one was given to Yao Yao's grandfather.

“Actually, I had a feeling of unease before. I’m afraid Yi Chen’s divination was not unfounded. We need to be more prepared!” Yao Yao’s grandfather said in a deep voice.

"I thought it was a golden age, but I never expected it to be a dark and bloody era. This..." Chang Ming looked up at the sky, feeling a deep sense of sorrow.

The majestic Kunlun Mountains, vast and magnificent, have now fully recovered, standing tall above the clouds, covered with medicinal herbs, with silver waterfalls cascading down, creating a beautiful and delightful landscape.

But now no one can appreciate the scenery; everyone feels uneasy.

"No way! I've only just arrived here, is the world about to be destroyed?" The girl Xi, no longer as lively as before, said with a mournful face.

She secretly took her grandfather's spaceship out for fun, but unexpectedly encountered a once-in-a-millennium space rift, which swept her into a strange world, leading to the series of experiences that followed.

"Hehe, you audacious monster! I can tell you're not human at first glance. I'll make you reveal your true form!" Chu Feng stretched out his fair little hand and pointed at the girl Xi, shouting loudly.

"Stop messing around, can't you see I'm feeling unwell? What's wrong with you?" The girl Xi pouted and pushed away Chu Feng's slender white hand that was pointing at her.

"Then how do you explain that when you arrived, the strange world was first invaded by people from the mortal realm, and war broke out everywhere, and now our world is also about to crack?" Chu Feng questioned.

"You're being unreasonable!" The girl Xi was speechless for a moment, but she really couldn't explain anything, because she herself was starting to think that there was something wrong with her.

Of course, Chu Feng knew that this was just a coincidence, but that didn't stop him from using it to tease the girl from the mortal realm.

Most importantly, she's a wealthy young woman with a top-tier inheritance from the mortal realm, and her spaceship is a deadly weapon. How can we not take the opportunity to extract value from her?
"By the way, is it possible to contact my fairy sister now?" Toad Ouyang Feng felt very insecure and wanted to find the biggest backer.

Huang Niu and his gang searched the entire globe for Shao Hua's whereabouts, and finally found Lin Nuoyi.

"I don't know where she is either."

Lin Nuoyi touched the willow wreath that she couldn't remove from her head and said calmly.

“However, my intuition tells me that she has not truly left. If you stay in Kunlun Mountain, you will definitely be able to see her one last time.” Lin Nuoyi was absolutely certain of this.

That's exactly what happened.

Shortly after Chu Feng and the others returned, an unusual event occurred deep within the Kunlun Mountains.

Endless celestial light burst forth from the earth, transforming into a rain of light that filled the sky. Plants, trees, and rocks that received it either underwent metamorphosis and evolution or began to awaken their intelligence.

Bathed in the rain of light, the evolved beings seemed to ascend to immortality, their various hidden injuries completely healed, and many lesser demons broke through on the spot.

"What a stroke of luck! I feel like I'm floating on air!" The big black ox looked like he was high, while a group of demons danced around, creating a chaotic scene.

The light of ascension was not limited to Kunlun; it gradually benefited the entire Earth, having a profound impact and triggering a fierce evolution of life.

Without a sound, a graceful figure, detached from the world, appeared atop Kunlun Mountain, overlooking all living beings and taking in the myriad aspects of the mortal world.

"I'm leaving too, to the mortal realm, where he left his things." Liu Shen also appeared. Although their destinations were different, their steps in pursuit of their old friend were exactly the same.

Shao Hua turned around and looked at the departing figure in white, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

"Honestly, why do they all like wearing white?" She shook her head, her mind involuntarily turning to her dearest friend.

Dressed in the same white robes, with the same unparalleled elegance.

But when will we meet again?
She didn't know that there was both hope and sorrow.

Liu Shen took Yan Ruyu, who was rebuilding her cultivation in the temple, with her, intending to use the strange world as a route to enter the mortal realm from there.

Yan Ruyu was deeply saddened to see her homeland ravaged and refused to leave. She vowed to eliminate all the foreign invaders!

On Earth, Chu Feng and the others also saw the return of Shao Hua.

"I'm leaving." Shaohua didn't hide her thoughts.

"Where to?" Chu Feng couldn't help but ask.

“The underworld, the place of reincarnation,” Shao Hua said.

Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but ask if reincarnation really existed.

Shao Hua first shook her head, then looked at them and nodded, saying, "For you, reincarnation does exist. After death, you may be able to enter the underworld and take a journey on the cycle of reincarnation."

On Earth, there are many people who carry the aura of reincarnation.

She also sensed that someone was evolving reincarnation in the underworld through the crack at the end of the cycle of reincarnation. At least in this man-made Three Realms, reincarnation is indeed a thing!
