The God of Heavens

Chapter 370 Jiuyuan Divine Realm
East Sea, Demon God Cave.

After seeing Meng Shenji off, Lin Yu turned his gaze to the Demon God Ba.

This demon god originally wanted to escape the moment Meng Shenji appeared, but Lin Yu was not alone and would not let him have his way.

At that moment, the condescending gaze in his eyes enraged him beyond measure.

"Damn Emperor Qian, don't think you can do anything to this old ancestor just because you blocked Meng Shenji! Die!"

This giant ape, with its dark gold body and ferocious appearance, roared hysterically, wielding a dark gold club, and slammed it down towards Lin Yu's head.

"The worm shakes the tree!"

Lin Yu sneered and waved his hand. The Primordial Great Luo Seal landed on the giant ape's head. The Great Dao intertwined and instantly transformed into a Heavenly Dao Net, suppressing it.

The Great Luo Heavenly Seal, which seals the void, descended upon the giant ape's head almost instantly, suppressing it fiercely.

Just as the dark golden demon ape was about to resist, it was shaken by the supreme pressure and staggered, its knees bending involuntarily, almost causing it to kneel on the ground.

"The Heavenly Demon Slays Gods, Annihilates the Eight Desolations!"

The giant ape's eyes were bloodshot, and it let out a deafening roar. Its blood and qi surged, stirring up the airflow within a radius of several miles to form a huge vortex. Its violent demonic power, like a volcanic eruption, blasted towards the giant palm above its head.

However, the enormous hand remained completely still, and all attacks that landed on its palm vanished without a trace, like mud sinking into the sea.

Then, countless scriptures of light and darkness suddenly flew out from his palm, enveloping the giant ape like a net.

"Roar--"

Amidst the fierce ape's unwilling roar, the Light and Dark Scriptures rapidly contracted, transforming into a profound "Light and Dark Mandala Sealing Array".

As the great formation spun, it completely sealed the ancient ferocious ape, which was then sent deep into the Primordial Heavenly Gate for suppression.

Inside the Heavenly Gate, the power of Lingbao Tianzun's "Scripture of Salvation" was already in operation, and countless scriptures of salvation rained down like light, beginning to cleanse the ferocious ape's violent and demonic aura.

"Damn it! How could I, the mighty Vajra Divine Ape, submit to you lowly humans! You think you can convert me? Wishful thinking!"

The giant ape Ba struggled wildly under the baptism of the Salvation Sutra, unleashing its ferocity.

It would rather die than be converted, its mind constantly surging with extremely evil and malevolent thoughts, desperately resisting the power of the scriptures.

"Hmph! Ba, what's there to be proud of?" an elder of the Brahma family sneered. "Didn't your ancestor 'Kong' once guard the horse farm for the ancient Holy Emperor?"

"Indeed!" the Wu family patriarch echoed. "His Majesty spared your life out of magnanimity. With your cultivation level after six tribulations, you can still be given important responsibilities if you submit now. If you remain stubborn..."

"Kill them outright!" the crowd shouted in unison.

With everyone's combined efforts, the Scripture of Salvation shone brightly, and gradually, the ferocious light in the giant ape's eyes began to fade.
"Only today do I realize the enormity of my past sins. I wish to submit to Your Majesty and repent for my sins."

The black aura around the completely converted giant ape Ba dissipated, replaced by pure immortal light. A compassionate expression appeared on its face as it reached into the depths of the Demon God Cave and retrieved a pitch-black Dao Fruit.

"This is the Heavenly Demon Dao Fruit, which I obtained by collecting the evil energy and true essence from the earth for ten thousand years and cultivating for three hundred years. It is somewhere between a magic weapon and a soul, and I now present it to Your Majesty."

Lin Yu accepted the Dao Fruit and saw that it contained the pure ancient demonic path, which was completely different from the human path. Although he could not cultivate it directly, comprehending its mysteries would be of great benefit.

“Good. Now that you have submitted, you should shed your demonic nature and become human.” Lin Yu nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, there is one more matter," the giant ape said respectfully.
"The remains of our ancestor 'Kong' are in the Nine Abyss Divine Realm. If you have the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Token of the True Gang Sect, you can enter this immortal tomb and obtain countless treasures."

Having said that, the thousand-year-old ape opened its mouth and uttered a profound scripture:
"This is the 'True Scripture of Moments,' which our ancestors obtained through comprehending the labyrinth of moments. I present it to you today to help Your Majesty achieve the Great Dao."

"Nine Abyss Divine Realm, very good!" Lin Yu nodded and said:

"There's no time to lose, Ba. You can show us the way. Let's go to the Void Chaos and find the location of the Nine Abyss Divine Realm first."

"go!"

As they spoke, the Primordial Heavenly Gate trembled slightly, transforming into a ball of clear light that enveloped everyone before bursting into the sky and disappearing from sight.

Before long, amidst the chaotic void, the Primordial Heavenly Gate, having avoided countless meteorites and gales, and broken through layers of void via black hole tunnels, finally arrived at a mysterious place.

This mysterious place of void turbulence is filled with hundreds or even thousands of enormous black hole tunnels, like a honeycomb, leading to who knows where.

"This is the entrance to the Nine Abyss Divine Realm, called the 'Momentary Labyrinth'. It contains 129,600 black hole tunnels, which correspond to the number of the One Yuan."

Only one of them is the correct path to the Nine Abyss Divine Realm; the rest are dead ends.

"Ba" stopped and said respectfully.

"The labyrinth of fleeting moments?"

Upon hearing "Ba's" explanation, everyone turned their gaze to the vast, dark tunnels that permeated the entire universe. They were deep and swirling, and many of them emanated a terrifying aura of death, as if they led to hell.

This labyrinthine black tunnel of fleeting moments—at this moment, a path may be correct, but in the next instant, it may be wrong.

Life and death are separated by a single moment, and there is no room for trial and error; hence the name "Maze of Moments."

"The labyrinth of moments: not striving for eternity, not striving for the future, but only for the moment. In this moment, life or death is up to you."

Those large tunnels are like portals to different spaces, constantly changing, bizarre and fantastical, containing many profound truths.

"Life and death are but a fleeting moment. Eternity is like a dream, immeasurable. Yet, a fleeting moment is right before our eyes; who can grasp it? It is too short to grasp, too long to grasp, so what can we grasp?"

The profound syllables, one by one, were spoken from Ba's mouth.

"The 'Instantaneous True Scripture' is indeed quite profound."

Lin Yu also heard the Scripture of Moment spoken by Ba. Every word was profound, and every syllable seemed to contain the ultimate truth of time and space, which made people feel enlightened upon hearing it.

He stood silently in the void, his eyes reflecting countless shifting tunnels, and suddenly whispered:
"Eternity is long and hard to grasp. A moment is short and also hard to grasp. If a moment cannot be grasped, how can eternity be grasped?"

He raised his hand and tapped lightly, and the Primordial Dao Fruit shone with a clear light, with countless wisdom flowing through it, revealing a tunnel scene exactly like the maze.

These phantoms are arranged and combined in a certain pattern, as if they are deducing something.

"The labyrinth of moments, according to legend, is the heart of the vast world, a passage of the number one, which can lead to any place in the vast world."

"By verifying the will of Heaven with my own heart, and by proving the heart of the universe with my own heart, the labyrinth of an instant can be broken."

Lin Yu activated his intelligence and sensed that beyond this momentary maze lay a vast and boundless world.

When the Lord's Eye opened, it saw that this space was neither the Great Thousand World nor the Middle Thousand World, but rather a series of spatial faults.

Within the fault line, countless magical forces surged and churned, completely distorting time and space, exuding an indescribable mystery.

"The Primordial Nine Abyss is not only the burial ground of immortals, but also the place where countless masters from the righteous and evil factions fought in ancient times, and it contains countless treasures and Dao fruits."

Lin Yu's mind changed along with the instantaneous maze; the faster the thoughts in his mind changed, the faster the maze changed.

He changed as he pleased. He sensed the place directly and knew it was the legendary Primordial Nine Abyss, also known as the Tomb of Immortals.

"Let's go. I have grasped the meaning of this eternal moment. Entering the Nine Abyss Divine Realm is just around the corner!"

Lin Yu activated the Primordial Heavenly Gate, breaking through the void and instantly rushing into a black hole.

Countless stars spun outside the Heavenly Gate, seemingly within reach, but in the next moment they transformed into streaks of light and shot away.

Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, with a loud boom, the Primordial Heavenly Gate burst through the black hole and arrived at a mysterious world.

"We've arrived! This is the Primordial Nine Abyss Divine Realm!"

When the dragon girl Ao Luan saw the scene outside, she immediately let out a long howl and lost her composure!

The Nine Abyss Divine Realm symbolizes endless magical treasures and extraordinary encounters. Coming here is like a penniless person stumbling into a treasure trove overflowing with gold and silver.

"What treasures are there here? It's just that time passes more slowly. I don't think this is the Nine Abyss Divine Realm," Starry Eyes said, frowning.

She could clearly sense that time flowed extremely slowly in this space.

The same river flows at only half the speed of the vast world, and the animals nearby move very slowly.

Even their own thoughts and mental processes were twice as slow as usual.

"That's right, this should be the Primordial Nine Abyss Divine Realm."

Lin Yu was not surprised to see the dragon girl Ao Luan's long roar. Given her cultivation level, it was understandable that she would lose her composure like this.

"Many cultivators, when their lifespan is about to end, often come to this place, either to seek a breakthrough or to directly attain Nirvana, leaving behind countless pure thoughts, magical artifacts, and even ancient treasures."

In the deeper realms of the divine realm, there remain the thoughts left behind by experts who have undergone nine tribulations of lightning. Even obtaining just one of these thoughts and refining it into a magical artifact would be extraordinary.

"Next, we will raze this Immortal's Tomb to the ground. All cultivators must surrender and enter the Primordial Heavenly Gate to make contributions!"

Lin Yu's gaze pierced through the void, taking in the entire world at a glance.

Soon, he activated the Primordial Heavenly Gate and traveled through the Nine Abyss Divine Realm.

Apart from a few scattered medicinal herb fields, all the cave dwellings had been ransacked, leaving them so poor that even the rats were starving.

This "Nine Abyss Divine Realm" looks as if it has been robbed by the most vicious thief in history.

The first few floors have long since become devoid of anything of value. Over the years, many experts have ventured into this place, and any items of even slight worth have long been looted.

The Primordial Heavenly Gate shattered the void and quickly crossed the first layer of the Black Water Abyss, the second layer of the Corpse Water Abyss, the third layer of the Gray Water Abyss, and the fourth layer of the Blood River Abyss.

Upon reaching the fifth floor, the scenery suddenly changed!
A thick mist of water rushed towards us, revealing a vast and boundless sea, stretching for thousands or even tens of thousands of miles, its scale in no way inferior to the oceans of the world.

This is the endless ocean!
The sea is dotted with islands, and not far away there is an island that is dozens of miles in circumference, all white, as if it were made of piled bones.

This island was not formed naturally, but was a magical artifact built and refined from countless bones, and it was extremely powerful.

Click, click——

A chilling wind swept up from the island, and hundreds of pale auras filled the air, heading straight for the Primordial Heavenly Gate.

"Another one has entered the Nine Abyss Divine Realm? Their cultivation is not bad. But since they have come to my territory, let them stay and let me refine some magical artifacts."

Amidst the overwhelming white bone energy, a gleaming white bone blade cleaved through the void, slashing towards Lin Yu.

The hilt of this bone knife is a hideous skull, neither human nor beast, and the evil aura emanating from the knife is terrifying.

"Heavenly Demon Spirit Bone Blade!"

"How many people must have been killed to forge this evil weapon? What a beast!"

As Lin Yu spoke, he raised his hand and struck out.
"Boundless Light!!"

Endless radiant flowers of sorrow flew from Lin Yu's hand, like a sun exploding, directly crashing into this supreme evil weapon.

Boom!

Holy light and evil energy collided violently, creating a deafening roar. Then, the radiance enveloped the "Heavenly Demon Spirit Bone Blade" within a planet.

sizzle...

The sounds of earth, water, fire, and wind circulating ceaselessly dissipated the evil aura of the evil soldiers.

"Bring it!"

As soon as the evil energy was dispelled, Lin Yu reached out and the pale white magic blade fell into his palm, pulsating incessantly, before being crushed in one swift motion.

"Dare to break my magic weapon!"

Suddenly, the Bone Demon Island, which spanned several miles in radius, crackled and exploded, breaking into countless segments, each as thick as a water bucket and ten feet long, numbering over a hundred thousand!
These large joints, numbering over 100,000, are all human thoughts, approaching the number of one.

Moreover, each thought was extremely powerful, indicating that the person was a master who had undergone six tribulations of lightning, even stronger than the Great Zhou Emperor, whom Lin Yu had turned into a copy of.

Just then, all thoughts converged, and a scholar-like figure emerged, holding a bone folding fan, with a handsome face that showed no trace of evil.

"The White Bone Scholar!"

Within the Primordial Heavenly Gate, numerous powerful figures from various aristocratic families, their eyes blazing with fury, roared in unison, "Your Majesty, this fiend is one of the culprits behind the great chaos in Tianzhou eight hundred years ago! A true demon!"

Eight hundred years ago, Tianzhou experienced a period of darkness and despair.

At that time, the world was in chaos. The cavalry of various tribes on the Yunmeng Grassland marched south, and the nomadic tribes wreaked havoc on the land. War broke out everywhere, and the people suffered greatly.

Even more terrifying was that countless true demonic giants emerged in the cultivation world at that time.

Unlike the cultivators of today who are labeled "demons" due to ideological differences, those ancient demons were all vicious and cruel, taking pleasure in torture and killing.

They sacrificed blood for the city, tortured living beings, and committed countless heinous crimes.

Although these demons failed to break through to the Creator realm, each of them was a terrifying being who had undergone six tribulations of lightning.

Many righteous families, along with some righteous sects, including the Great Zen Temple, Peach Blossom Sect, and True Gang Sect, joined forces and attacked with all their might. Countless people and experts died, but they finally killed all those heinous evil sect experts and wiped out all the evil sects.

Finally, the demonic atmosphere in Tianzhou subsided, and from then on, evil sects that violated human ethics never appeared again.

This is why the patriarch of the Fan family and other powerful figures were so enraged when they saw the White Bone Scholar, a true ancient demon.
