The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 1 Prologue Opening with Cao Yusheng
The burial ground is filled with deathly air and is desolate and silent. The dark land seems endless and boundless. Death is the eternal theme here.

Under the starry sky, there was a young man working in this dead burial ground, seemingly digging something.

"In the little garden, dig and dig, plant little seeds, and bloom little flowers..."

Chen Wu hummed an unknown tune and silently quickened his movements. Behind him were countless corpses and the air was eerie, but he showed no fear at all.

As he was digging, Chen Wu suddenly sighed.

"Ah, life is hard. How did I come to this world? And at such an awkward time."

The boy's name is Chen Wu. He is a time traveler. He was originally an ordinary archaeologist on Blue Star. He was struck by lightning while performing a rescue excavation of a mysterious ancient tomb in Kunlun Mountain. When he woke up again, he had arrived in another brand new world.

After various attempts, Chen Wu found that he seemed to have traveled to the world of "Zhan Tian". The secret human body cultivation system constructed by the Wheel Sea, Taoist Palace, Four Poles, Dragon Transformation and Immortal Platform was proof of this.

It’s just that the timing seemed a little off. All the emperors, ancient kings, and celestial beings that he knew in his previous life did not show up. Currently, the highest realm in the human realm is the Supreme, and they are basically hiding in restricted areas.

In addition to the human body secret realm method that has just become mainstream, there are other methods of cultivation in the world.

After countless verifications, Chen Wu finally confirmed that he had come to the world of the Great Ruler trilogy, and that it was the time period between the chaotic ancient era and the mythological era.

In the past, there was the Desolate Emperor Shi Hao who cut off the eternal time of the sky and turned the boundless sea into chaos to isolate the weirdness and ominousness, and left his body as a secret realm magic to fight outside. Later, the first Heavenly Venerable of the mythological era is still a long way off, and no one knows when he will become enlightened.

The nine heavens and ten earths of the past were shattered, and the fragments evolved into stars floating in the universe, forming the "Heaven-Covering Universe".

It is much safer than the great reckoning at the end of the chaotic ancient times, but Chen Wu also has to face a grim reality: this is also a confusing era, the path to immortality is cut off, ancient history is buried, the chaotic ancient cultivation system has not completely disappeared, and the human body secret realm method of the Shrouding Heaven era has just become mainstream.

Compared with the ancient times and prehistoric times of later generations, this era lacks enough scriptures of enlightened people for reference, and everyone is groping forward as a whole.

Fortunately, with his amazing talent and constant adventures, Chen Wu finally became a saint after more than a hundred years of cultivation, which corresponds to the Void Dao Realm in the Luan Gu Fa.

Looking ahead, the road ahead is bleak.

In order to find more spiritual resources, Chen Wu had to return to his old ways and set his sights on the Burial Ground. This was also a fragment left over from the past, where the corpses of the ancients were buried. Its area was the largest among all the forbidden areas. At this time, the underworld had not yet been established, and only a few supreme beings lived in the center of the Burial Ground, which was relatively safer.

"I dug graves before I traveled through time, and I'm still digging graves after I traveled through time. Didn't that mean I traveled through time in vain?"

Chen Wu laughed at himself in his heart, and suddenly his expression froze, and his movements slowed down.
Suddenly, a foot emerged from the dark burial soil. It was obviously different from the broken corpse that had been dug out before, and it contained an astonishing aura.

"Huh? Has it been shipped?"

Chen Wu was delighted and quickly dug out the body.

It was a male corpse, dressed in ancient clothing. Perhaps because it had been sealed for too long, even the coffin had decayed, but the body was still intact, with scars unique to endless years carved on it, and a restrained luster.

As the corpse saw the light of day again, a wisp of decayed aura began to emanate from its surface.

"This is at least a corpse from the ancient times, maybe even older. If I can learn from it, even if I practice a different method, it will be helpful for my future path."

Chen Wu checked carefully and suddenly felt a great danger, and the hairs on his body stood up.

Click!

A huge purple bolt of lightning fell from the sky, with an unknown diameter, piercing through the sky and the earth. It was so abrupt that it directly struck Chen Wu and sent him flying.

"Are you kidding me? You're attacking me at this time. This is the treasure I just dug out."

Just as Chen Wu got up, patches of lightning descended again, directly submerging the place. It was so bright and dazzling that its power was comparable to that of a saint's catastrophe if it were outside.

In other words, the burial ground was large enough, and he deliberately avoided the dangerous area in the middle, otherwise it would definitely attract a large number of sharp-eyed and gossipy onlookers.

"I***"

Chen Wu cursed and swore as he was bathed in endless thunder. A blazing light shone around him, making his body sparkle.

He was using his own magic to resist the thunder and lightning. He had been rolling and crawling all the way and was used to being struck by lightning. Sometimes he even wondered if he was being targeted by God and was being struck by thunder and lightning at any time.

It’s a pity that the ancient corpse that had just been dug out was blown to pieces, leaving no trace at all.

After a few hours, the thunder and lightning finally disappeared.

Chen Wu took a deep breath and saw that a big crack had been blown open at the previous place, revealing countless corpses and coffins underneath. He didn't know how many were buried there, layer upon layer, densely packed.

He suddenly remembered a saying from later generations, "At the end of reincarnation, everything will come to an end, and the underworld is the final resting place of all souls."

The ancients are sincere and don’t bully me!
Uh, that’s not right. Future generations are honest and will not deceive me!
……

Just as he was thinking, Chen Wu's expression suddenly froze.
"Huh? A dead body?"

Suddenly, a corpse, or rather a person, crawled out from the pile of corpses under the crack. He looked like a middle-aged fat man with eyes as black as ink. He was wearing an ancient gray Taoist robe that was a little torn and stained with blood.

The man also noticed Chen Wu, and then staggered towards him.

"Who are you? Don't come over here. I'm not welcome."

Chen Wu subconsciously made a seal, ready to kill him if anything went wrong.

"who am I?"

The man frowned and began to think. A confused expression soon appeared on his face, and it seemed that he could not remember anything.

"Could it be that the thunder just now caused the ancient corpse to become spiritual?"

Chen Wu was confused but still remained on guard.

At this moment, the man suddenly held his head and screamed like a wounded beast.
"Huang, my brother." After calling out this name, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"What was your name just now? Could it be you?"

Chen Wu looked at the crying man in front of him in surprise, and an astonishing guess emerged in his mind.

The man didn't know why he was crying. He just tried his best to recall, but he couldn't remember anything. His soul emitted a dazzling light, and a strange chanting of scriptures came from it. In a trance, a name flashed by.

"Cao Yusheng, I remember my name. My name is Cao Yusheng." The man muttered to himself.

"Are you Cao Yusheng?"

Chen Wu showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
The man in front of him is Cao Yusheng? The previous life of Duan De, the brother of Emperor Shi Hao and future friend of Emperor Ye...

I dug out the founder of the tomb-robbing world in "Zhetian"?

Oh, how is it possible.

"How dare you impersonate Lord Cao Yusheng." Chen Wu shouted angrily.

The starry sky suddenly changed.

The next moment, a heavenly calamity descended from nowhere, an endless sea of thunder was like a tide, so vast and boundless, it seemed like the Milky Way from the sky was pouring down, or like thousands of huge stars smashing down.

"I***"

Chen Wu's expression suddenly changed.

……

The thunderbolt came suddenly, and its power was far beyond the level of a saint, and it even attracted the attention of the forbidden existence deep in the burial ground.

There is an invincible supreme being whispering, his tone is cold,

"How dare you bring about a heavenly calamity in the burial ground and disturb my peace."

"Forget it. If you are not a master, you are just an ant. There is no need to pay too much attention to it. It may be an ancient corpse buried deep underground that has been dug out. Let someone take a look later."

There are taboos that sigh with regret and sadness.
"It is said that before the chaotic ancient times, cultivators in the Void Dao Realm could live for millions of years, let alone the Supreme Realm. Unfortunately, the end of the law has come, and the destiny has passed. Even our lifespan is only ten thousand years."

"My fellow Taoists, the road to immortality has been cut off. To become immortal, we can only wait for it to appear again. It is estimated that it will take millions of years. What a long time!"

There were also some ancient giants who were unwilling to give in, and revealed shocking secrets in a few words.
"According to ancient history, there was once a supreme being who created a law, and took a new path different from the past. He planted the seeds of the Tao in the bodies of all living things, and the heaven and earth were in awe of him. Unfortunately, only a few fragments of ancient history remain, and we cannot get a glimpse of the whole picture. I deeply regret it."

"Perhaps the chance of immortality lies in this method. Unfortunately, we are still one step short. How can we accept this?"

……

The thunderbolt gradually weakened until it disappeared, the dazzling light began to dissipate, and a bottomless pit appeared in the center of the previous black burial soil.

Chen Wu was lying at the bottom of the pit, his hair standing on end, his body charred black, part of his body collapsed, and he looked half-dead.

Next to him was Cao Yusheng, who had just been dug out from the ground. His Taoist robe was torn a little.
"Fellow Taoist, are you okay?"

"Ahem, I now believe you are Cao Yusheng."

Chen Wu spat out a large mouthful of blood. The calamity just now was beyond his realm. It was basically Cao Yusheng who attracted most of the firepower. Even so, Chen Wu's previously accumulated wealth was still exhausted, and he almost fell here.

Cao Yusheng touched his head.

"Fellow Daoist, do you really know me? Then can you tell me something about me?"

Compared to Chen Wu's embarrassment, he was in much better condition and asked the most concerned questions as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You really don't remember..."

Chen Wu was about to ask when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, as if he had thought of something.

At the end of the chaotic ancient times, the Jieying Ancient Palace descended upon the heavens. The three emperors Cang, Hong and Yu led the dark army to attack. Cao Yusheng fought desperately, but was eventually killed in the fight with the enemy. His soul returned to the burial ground, but his spirit was broken up and only his body was buried in the burial ground. He did not wake up until Shi Hao, the Emperor of the Desolate Sky, cut off the eternity with a sword.

Looking at the confused man in front of me,
Chen Wu's mind moved slightly, and he finally came up with a possible guess: "So, Cao Yusheng's body woke up again after sleeping in the burial soil for many years, and was blown out by me by chance. Except for a name, he can't remember anything else. It can even be speculated that Cao Yusheng's consciousness has been exhausted, and now this is the reborn soul after the body was buried in the burial soil for many years? After all, he had already switched to practicing the method of the funeral master before his death."

Seeing that he hadn't answered yet, Cao Yusheng asked again in confusion: "Daoyou?"

"Nothing, let's leave here first. The noise just now might have alarmed something deep in the burial ground."

Chen Wu stood up, breathing out thunder sounds, his whole body flashing with the light of thunder. The blood in his dry body was stimulated to the extreme by him. Faintly, one could see brilliant runes interweaving in the bone marrow and flesh. The new flesh and blood grew rapidly, and his aura rose. After a while, he recovered.

There is no doubt that his physique is not ordinary, and his characteristic is that he is extremely easy to be struck by lightning. Chen Wu discovered this problem a long time ago, but he could not find the corresponding special physique after searching through the original memory.

"Ok."

Cao Yusheng nodded. He was eager to know his identity, so he naturally agreed. The two of them left immediately.

Not long after, a withered knight in black clothes and black armor arrived and frowned when he saw the bone fragments and powder on the ground.

……

"The Secret Stories of the Heavenly Lords in the Mythological Chronicles": In the years after the chaos of ancient times, he awakened from the burial ground after overcoming the calamity, and happened to encounter the eternal calamity. The two of them traveled together and thus became friends.
