The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 202 The final sealed site: The ancient ancestor arrives wielding the stone token to attack!
The thirtieth pass of the ancient road is also a majestic city, guarding an ancient star of life.

The atmosphere at the ancient pass has been very tense lately, and many forces on the ancient star of life are also uneasy.

This is because the last ancient well of gods and demons is buried on this ancient star of life!
This was the last target of the various alien races, destined to become the most brutal battlefield. And because of Ning Qingyi's intervention, the intensity of the previous ancient wells was not high, except for the twentieth level where a Great Sage was killed.

Although many races suffered heavy casualties, the number of Great Saint-level combatants was not much, which gives you an idea of ​​how intense the fighting will be next.

Just then, Ning Qingyi arrived, followed by a nine-tailed crocodile dragon and a small tyrannosaurus.

Upon entering the city, he was greeted by important figures. The Grand Commander personally led him into the City Lord's Mansion, where they discussed matters for half a day before he emerged alone. He then arrived at the God and Demon Burial Well on the Ancient Star of Life.

The one in charge was the guide, dressed in a Taoist robe, with white hair and a youthful face, exuding the air of a deity.

"Your Highness, the Holy Son, is indeed unfathomable!" The guide was moved. He was known as the Heavenly King of Dao and was only one step away from becoming a Great Sage, but when he saw Ning Qingyi, his heart was filled with heavy pressure.

Ning Qingyi noticed his gaze and her expression changed: "I've heard that the Heavenly King is a descendant of the Dao Venerable?"

The guide nodded: "Although our lineage is not the direct line of the Heavenly Venerable, tracing back to the source, we are still a disciple of the Heavenly Venerable. In fact, there were similar guardians in the tenth and twentieth levels back then, but unfortunately they perished over the long years."

The Celestial Venerables of the mythological era rarely left behind biological children; they mostly passed on their teachings to their disciples, thus giving rise to numerous lineages that often flourished for a time before declining due to internal strife and the misfortunes of their unfilial disciples in later generations.

The same applies to Mount Luofu, where Ning Qingyi is located. Ge Hong revered Lingbao Tianzun as his patriarch and was the head of the Dao lineage, but if we trace it back further, it might just be one of the side branches.

"Heavenly King, have you ever heard of my name?" Ning Qingyi asked with a hint of seriousness.

Upon hearing this, Dao Tianwang showed a strange expression: "What an odd Daoist title. I wonder which sage would make such a joke?"

"He was a quasi-emperor from my ancient star, and he has been deep in the starry sky for two thousand years."

"A quasi-emperor!" The guide's face showed shock: "Is there any news of the Holy Son?"

On the ancient starry road, even Great Sages have become commonplace, but Quasi-Emperors are still a rare sight, seldom appearing in the mortal world. At this very moment, if a Quasi-Emperor could be summoned, even the greatest turmoil could be quelled!

Ning Qingyi shook her head: "I don't know his whereabouts either, but I've heard that this senior has a connection with the Daoist lineage."

"That's such a shame..."

Upon hearing this, the guide showed a deep look of regret.

Even if a quasi-emperor is related to the Dao Venerable lineage, even a little bit of information leaked from his fingers would greatly benefit his breakthrough to the Great Saint realm.

“Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, Heavenly King, please take me to the sealing site,” Ning Qingyi said.

The guide nodded and led him into the Burial Well of Gods and Demons.

This place is a great canyon on the ancient planet of life, known as the Ink Abyss. It is over a thousand feet deep and is a truly forbidden place, where several upheavals have occurred in ancient history.

Near Mo Yuan, not a blade of grass grows, and black, malevolent energy emanates from it from time to time, resembling an ominous wound from afar. Upon closer inspection, one can even hear ominous screams and roars, deafening and terrifying.

"The burial well lies beneath the Ink Abyss," the guide said.

Ning Qingyi used his Origin Heaven Divine Eye to see through the Netherworld Mist and indeed found an ancient well in the Ink Abyss.

Like the other burial wells, millions of years of entanglement had damaged the seal, and the escaping resentment clung to it like a malignant tumor, constantly eroding the array patterns. Even so, the Dao Venerable was ultimately more skilled, and the seal still suppressed the remains of the Holy Spirit Ancestor within the ancient well.

"In that case, I will go into the well to take a look."

Ning Qing activated the "Xing" secret technique, and with a whoosh, he transformed into a beam of light and disappeared. Beneath his feet, a large area of ​​Dao patterns spread out, miraculously permeating the seal, and vanished before the guide's eyes.

"It really is the Secret of the Journey!" The guide's heart stirred, confirming some of the rumors circulating on the ancient road. He couldn't help but sigh, "The great era is approaching, and all sorts of heavenly techniques and ancient methods are emerging. I wonder if this holy son can make it to the end."

……

Within the Ink Abyss, Ning Qingyi skillfully evaded various seals, traversed the Burial Well, and arrived at the final sealing site.

Beneath the burial well lay a hellish land, where black demonic clouds churned, blood-red lightning flashed, and eerie winds howled, emanating ominous sounds that were utterly chilling.

The overwhelming deathly aura transformed into a thick fog, and occasionally, in the thinner patches, one could see one ancient corpse after another lying in the dark earth, their armor long since rotted away, making it impossible to discern their era.

His face was grave as he gazed at the center of the sealed land, where a dark lake lay, half of his massive torso bobbing in the water, and a stone book clutched firmly in his remaining arm.

One after another, enormous lotus flowers took root on the corpse. Unlike those in the first burial well, the lotus flowers here were no longer pure white and crystal clear, but rather a strange, bright red, like flowers from the underworld on the other side of the river of death, no longer holy.

"Sure enough, just like the one in the twentieth Heaven, Dao Lian was also corrupted by demons."

Ning Qing frowned, immediately realizing that this ancient well had encountered a major problem, just like the twentieth Heavenly Gate, where chaos was highly likely to erupt. Fortunately, based on his experience with the previous ancient wells, he was already familiar with the Daoist's arrangements and had become quite adept at them.

Over the next three days, he carefully surveyed the sealed area, while simultaneously clearing away and refining the corpses buried in the ground to prevent a possible chain reaction caused by the corpses turning into zombies.

Even with utmost caution, several mishaps occurred along the way. Several ancient corpses revived, and within them lurked several blood demons formed from the blood essence of holy spirits, who launched a sneak attack.

Fortunately, Ning Qing had prepared in advance. She directly suppressed it with the illusory image of the Gate of Immortality, and then used the Golden Heart Lamp of the Dao Tribulation to refine a few drops of blood essence, which nourished the Holy Spirit Stone Embryo in her body.

They were all ferocious beasts at the Saint King level, yet they were manipulated like three-year-old children in his hands. The news of this was enough to shake the starry sky.

Finally, after he finished cleaning up, he revived the imperial array left behind by the Daoist Master, and then took out the Desolate Tower again.

The desolate tower, no bigger than a palm, suppressed half of the Holy Spirit Ancestor's torso as soon as it entered the ancient formation. The entire space seemed to be frozen and restricted, with no disturbances and an eerily calm atmosphere.

"rise!"

With a solemn expression, Ning Qingyi summoned the Imperial Scripture obtained from the Daoist scriptures. Nine ancient characters appeared one by one, shimmering with immortal radiance, illuminating this Yin land.

Boom!

The grand formation revived, and the nine ancient characters combined with the endless array patterns, presenting a complex and profound transformation. It constantly flickered and changed, becoming an extreme evolution, and a vast divine waterfall cascaded down.

Several crimson lotuses bloomed, forming a blurry, indistinct phantom of the Dao Venerable. He sat cross-legged atop the remnants of the Holy Spirit Ancestor, chanting scriptures, exuding an aura of majesty and terror, and displaying astonishing demon-refining techniques. "It has begun!"

Just as Ning Qingyi was reviving the great formation, a shocking change occurred throughout the entire Mo Yuan. The boundless baleful energy seemed to have come to consciousness, forming great demons that roared through the void, threatening to slaughter the world.

"Human brat, we've come again!"

However, an even greater upheaval occurred, as a roar echoed from the void.

One colossal dimensional gate after another appeared, and wave after wave of people charged out from them, clad in divine armor, riding savage beasts, their banners waving and fluttering, threatening to shatter the starry sky!
It was the Great Sage Cangyan and Ao Mang who led the forces they had gathered in recent years to attack!

In addition, several alien races that have been attacking the ancient human path in recent years have appeared, along with one terrifying evil god after another at the level of a Great Sage.

Some of them shone with blood-red light, some were shrouded in black mist, and some were surrounded by chaotic energy. Their strange phenomena were astonishing, and the entire ancient star was filled with their powerful and evil aura, which even reached into the starry sky.

The heavens and earth shattered, and five evil gods appeared, each followed by a large army, their murderous aura shaking the heavens and the earth.

boom!
The starry sky trembled as seven Great Saint-level experts looked toward the Thirtieth Heavenly Gate. Even their imposing aura caused the ancient city to shake.

brush!
Three indistinct figures stood on the city wall of the 30th Heavenly Pass, each exuding a powerful aura, no less than that of the evil gods of various races. Clearly, the human race had also sent three Great Saint-level experts to guard the formidable pass.

"Brother Cangyan, there's no time left. Break the seal as soon as possible. That Spirit Treasure Saint has been inside for five days," said the evil god of the Light Clan. He was entirely pale gold, like a deity, with four faces on his head, exuding unparalleled majesty.

“That’s right, that human prodigy is too wicked. He was able to refine the Holy Spirit’s corpse so quickly. We can’t give him that chance,” said the Winged Clan’s evil god.

He was golden and smooth, with clear eyes, twelve pairs of pure white wings on his back, and a divine halo behind his head. He was holy and dignified, much like the Celestial Master in Earth's mythology. However, when attacking the twenty-seventh Heavenly Gate, he was ruthless and merciless, sacrificing the lives of several asteroids in an attempt to break the seal!

The other evil gods also looked over, clearly with the same intention.

Ao Mang and Cang Yan, the two great holy spirits, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with resentment, but they still did not make a move against the thirtieth Heavenly Gate.

There was nothing they could do. For the past eight years, Ning Qingyi had always been one step ahead of them, plundering everything in the Divine Demon Burial Well, leaving them with no divine artifacts and no idea what was going on.

Not only that, he also had the leisure to set traps and annihilate their army. Furthermore, at the twentieth Heavenly Pass, he spread rumors and took advantage of their impatience to make them directly break the seal, thereby killing a Great Sage and a large army. All of this left them with no choice but to be cautious.

As a result, they dare not sit idly by and watch Ning Qingyi enter the formation with ease, for fear that all their good fortune will be plundered; nor do they dare to be the first to break the seal, for fear of triggering a catastrophe and being killed here.

"Uh-nee-la-di..."

The two great holy spirits, Ao Mang and Cang Yan, chanted ancient incantations together, as if in prayer or in invitation, and powerful divine thoughts pierced into the ancient well.

Blood-red light filled the sky, demonic clouds obscured the sun, and terrifying blood mist continuously gushed from the well, creating an eerie and intimidating atmosphere. However, despite the astonishing phenomena observed during the long chanting, there was still no response.

Everyone's expression changed.

"Impossible! He's only been in the formation for five days!" Ao Mang's expression changed drastically.

“It’s definitely impossible. He could refine the ancient ancestor’s corpse in three days. Even if he were comparable to a young emperor, it wouldn’t be enough. He must be a reincarnation of a Dao Venerable!” Cang Yan’s expression was equally gloomy.

Several evil gods also coldly watched the area below Mo Yuan. Ever since they had been repeatedly tricked, they had sent people to keep an eye on this place, and even conducted a divination several days ago to confirm that it had not been refined. However, in just three days, everything had changed!
"Let me do it!" The evil god of the Light Clan stepped forward, looked around, and summoned a Divine Refining Pot.

boom!
At this moment, immense divine power swept across the starry sky, causing the entire ancient star to roar as if it were about to collapse, and even the thirtieth Heavenly Gate was on the verge of collapse.

The three blurry figures also changed their expressions, exchanging whispers as they assessed the current situation, remaining vigilant against the enemy's advance towards the thirtieth Heavenly Gate.

The Divine Refining Pot is an imperial weapon forged from celestial azure gold.

It is entirely blue, with layers of wing-like ripples on its surface. It is shiny and dazzling, like a fairy ascending to heaven. It possesses boundless power and makes people tremble!
At this moment, the supreme divine power was unleashed, the spout of the gourd spout emitted light, and feather-like ripples appeared, directly absorbing all the evil energy in the entire Ink Abyss, and refining the great demon formed from the evil energy.

hum!
The void trembled, and array patterns appeared. Clearly, even the repaired seal could not withstand the divine power of the imperial weapon, and was directly absorbed, revealing the foundation of the great array.

The evil god of the Light Clan coldly watched this scene on the ground and continued to activate the Divine Refining Pot.

boom!
Suddenly, Mo Yuan collapsed, the ancient well burst open, and an aura that made even the Great Sage tremble swept across the sky, soaring upwards from the ground.

"Crack!"

One large part of the army was immediately impacted and exploded on the spot, causing everyone to gasp in shock.

The surging Netherworld Water rushed out of the ancient well, and then a huge skeleton was washed out. Only the torso and a stub of an arm remained, and blood-red lotus flowers closed and took root on the corpse, making it look very eerie and terrifying.

The Holy Spirit and the evil gods were terrified, their hearts pounded, and they kept retreating.

"Is the remnant body of the Holy Spirit Ancestor about to transform into a demon again?!" one of the evil gods couldn't help but shout.

"What is that! A stone weapon?" Another evil god was taken aback.

"It's the hand of the Holy Spirit Ancestor, holding the ancient artifact he left behind!" Ao Mang shouted, his expression excited.

A gigantic hand, hundreds of feet long, held a stone token in its palm, unleashing supreme divine power that was no weaker than that of the ultimate divine power.

Click.

Suddenly, the mangled body moved, and a strange sound reached beyond the heavens, sending chills down everyone's spines and filling them with terror.

"boom!"

The remains of the Holy Spirit Ancestor stood up, with the Dao Lotus hanging down like two legs, and the remaining large hand holding the stone token slashing towards the Refining God Pot. Its divine might was overwhelming and its courage unstoppable.

Everyone was stunned. The evil god of the Light Clan desperately activated the Divine Refining Pot, reviving it and allowing it to exude the majesty of an ancient emperor to fight against the terrifying remains of the Holy Spirit Ancestor and the Stone Token.

"Damn it, another zombie apocalypse, just like the twentieth Heavenly Gate. Damn humans!"

The alien races were terrified and screamed. Everyone was in chaos. Even Ao Mang and Cang Yan looked pale. The tragedy at the twentieth Heaven Pass was still fresh in their minds. Moreover, the remains were still holding ancient artifacts, which would surely cause even greater turmoil!
