Kamimine

Chapter 164 Purgatory on Earth
The black aura, like a dragon, stretched for millions of miles.

The golden light of the stars, like silk, entwined with the black mist, dragging the stone basket as it flew.

Sitting in the stone basket, Liu Chengfeng had no idea where the black mist was headed.

Suddenly, a sharp cry rang out, and a divine light descended, invincible throughout the world, sweeping across all realms.

Half of the black energy was annihilated, and like a black dragon with its head severed, it roared and charged forward.

"Damn, that's fierce!"

Seeing the newcomer cut off half of the black energy, Liu Chengfeng was speechless.

Are you being a little better behaved now?

The person who had attacked the black energy glanced at Liu Chengfeng.

“Well-behaved, always well-behaved. Master Aunt is wise and powerful, invincible in the world.”

Liu Chengfeng nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

The one who killed the black energy was none other than my aunt Ye Huijian.

"Why not just wipe them all out?"

Ye Huijian only cut half of it, which puzzled Liu Chengfeng.

"Don't you want to go with it?"

Ye Huijian crossed his arms over his chest.

"Master's eyes are discerning."

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but glance at his cheap aunt, whose arms were crossed over her chest, making her appear particularly large.

"Look over there—"

Ye Huijian was furious, her gaze murderous.

"My aunt is so beautiful."

Liu Chengfeng couldn't back down either, and stared at her fiercely, like a tiger or a wolf.

Ye Huijian rolled her eyes at him, enjoying the moment.

At this moment, Liu Chengfeng felt that she was really beautiful. His ordinary-looking junior sister-in-law suddenly had an indescribable charm.

“Go with it, and when it lands in its nest, burn it down.”

Ye Huijian gave the instructions.

"What am I supposed to burn? It'll turn on me if it doesn't."

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine, knowing how terrifying the black energy was.

Ye Huijian gave Liu Chengfeng a precious bottle.

"Use it, but don't use it all at once."

Ye Huijian gave his solemn instructions.

Not knowing what was inside the treasure bottle, Liu Chengfeng accepted it without hesitation, thinking that his aunt wouldn't harm him.

"Here you go, same as always."

Finally, Ye Huijian handed the divine spear to Liu Chengfeng.

"I know, don't use it unless absolutely necessary."

This wasn't the first time Liu Chengfeng had used a short spear.

"No, Aunt, is there some life-or-death danger this time?"

Liu Chengfeng sensed something was wrong; every time he gave the Divine Spear, it was extremely dangerous.

The cheap nun must know something.

Where is this black mist headed?

"The Six-Tier Central Divine Dynasty".

"Damn it, am I going to get ripped off?"

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine. He had just killed Sima Wujian, who came from the Six Central Divine Dynasty.

"Scared?"

Ye Huijian glanced at him.

"What's there to be afraid of? Just kill them."

Unwilling to back down, Liu Chengfeng straightened his chest.

Ye Huijian gave a few instructions and then flew away.

"where are you going?"

"Grand burial place."

"I possess the Blood Sea Divine Treasure Scroll."

Liu Chengfeng never hid anything from Ye Huijian; if there were any benefits, he would give them to her as well.

"talk about it later."

As soon as Ye Huijian stepped into the burial ground, his divine power erupted, making him reign supreme over the world, suppressing all realms, and invincible in the world.

"wild."

Liu Chengfeng clicked his tongue in amazement. When the cheap aunt got fierce, she was even fiercer than Qinglian Chundao.

The black mist surged and rushed forward, like a headless black dragon.

The more Liu Chengfeng followed, the more uneasy he felt. The black mist emerged from the burial ground and rushed about as if it had a purpose.

"Could it have a nest where it can stay?"

Liu Chengfeng didn't know what the faceless stone statue was suppressing. The black energy that escaped from it would run away in one direction.

This doesn't make sense. Is the black energy acting on its own initiative, or is it some kind of summoning?
"The Six-Tier Central Divine Dynasty—"

When the black mist rushed into a piece of land, one immediately felt the aura of the divine dynasty rushing towards them.

The Six Central Divine Dynasty is one of the three great divine dynasties of the Qingmeng Realm.

The Divine Dynasty governs thousands of religions and nations, displaying a myriad of phenomena and extraordinary occurrences.

A continent floats in the sky; divine light surrounds a nation; a true dragon coils above an ancient religion…

Bizarre and fantastical, its vast territory stretches like the sea.

Looking out at the vast sky and earth, Liu Chengfeng felt like a drop of water falling into a boundless ocean.

"What evil thing is this—"

The black energy rushed into the central divine court of the Six Vehicles, and suddenly a divine voice rang out, and divine power surged.

A deafening roar erupted from all directions, divine light soared into the sky, and divine power surged forth in a violent slash.

The pagoda suppresses all directions, the heavenly blade cleaves the heavens and earth, the divine sword shatters all realms...

From the four directions of the Six Central Divine Dynasty, deities appeared and unleashed their fury upon the black energy.

"Oh my God--"

Liu Chengfeng was terrified. He put away the stone basket and jumped down to avoid being killed by the gods of the Six Central Divine Dynasty.

The black energy roared and charged forward, but divine power from all directions slashed down like a raging tide.

The heavens and earth lost their color, all things lost their light, a deafening roar resounded throughout the land, and the earth shook incessantly.

Such overwhelming divine power bombarded the black energy, which could not withstand it.

"The strength of the Divine Dynasty is indeed remarkable."

Seeing the black aura being obliterated, Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine; it was indeed powerful.

After the black aura was obliterated, the divine dynasty sounded the retreat, the divine power dissipated, and the clouds cleared and the sky turned blue.

"No, it wasn't erased."

Liu Chengfeng looked at his fingers and found that the starlight was still there, and only he could see it.

As the starlight, like silk threads, appeared, Liu Chengfeng realized that the black energy he thought had been obliterated had transformed into two streams.

Like a gray snake, it plunged into the earth and disappeared.

The starlight pointed Liu Chengfeng in the right direction, and the black mist entered two places.

"Is this its final resting place?"

Liu Chengfeng chased after him, feeling uneasy and sensing that something was wrong.

The black energy escaped from the burial ground and rushed into the Six-Tier Central Divine Dynasty.

As one of the three great dynasties, it absolutely cannot tolerate the slightest evil or darkness appearing in its territory.

However, the black aura was extremely obvious. What does that mean?
"You little wench, I'll teach you a lesson one day."

Liu Chengfeng understood that his cheap aunt must know something, but she just wasn't telling him.

Liu Chengfeng followed the direction indicated by the starlight and continued chasing after it.

He came to his senses and realized he was in a vast wasteland. The wasteland stretched for millions of miles, utterly silent, the mountains and rivers desolate, the earth sunk, like a land of death.

Liu Chengfeng traveled thousands of miles and discovered villages and towns, but they had long since become ruins.

Broken bricks and tiles, dilapidated walls and ruins, piles of rubble.

"What terrible thing happened?"

Seeing this scene, Liu Chengfeng felt a chill in his heart; this was the destruction of an ancient kingdom.

It wasn't a terrible divine war that sank it; rather, it seemed as if a horrific death suddenly occurred, burning everything to ashes.

Stepping into the ruins, Liu Chengfeng immediately sensed something was wrong.

He immediately turned the celestial mound, and countless sounds surged into his mind like a tidal wave.

It's more accurate to describe it as countless resentments than as sounds.

Like the wails, anger, and despair of someone dying...

In a flash, it was as if I were witnessing a living hell. Calamity suddenly descended, and the millions of lives in the ancient kingdom could not escape, struggling and dying in despair.

"This is the Divine Dynasty, why would such a thing happen?"

Liu Chengfeng was terrified.

Although it is impossible to recreate what was discovered back then, one can feel the despair that permeates the world.

Something terrible must have happened back then, causing the destruction of the entire ancient kingdom.

This place is under the jurisdiction of the Six Central Divine Dynasty, so why would such a terrifying thing be discovered here?

Liu Chengfeng was both horrified and filled with doubt.

The vast land, stretching for millions of miles, became a dead zone, devoid of any living creature.

Fortunately, while passing through one ruined city after another, they still encountered some cultivators exploring for treasure and mining.

Otherwise, one might think they've entered a land of death.

Liu Chengfeng had doubts in his mind, so he inquired with these cultivators who were exploring for treasure and mining.

“Back then, karmic fire descended from the heavens and destroyed the ancient kingdom of Jiuxiao.”

"Karmic Fire?"

This was the first time Liu Chengfeng had heard it.

"The Karmic Fire originates from the Divine Sacrifice Karmic Fire Realm. Legend has it that it was a backlash from the ancient Nine Heavens God long ago..."

After making inquiries, Liu Chengfeng learned the reason for the formation of the ruins.

This ruin was created by the ancient god Jiuxiao, who was the chief god and one of the most powerful chief gods of the Six Central Divine Dynasty.

The Nine Heavens Ancient Radiance Kingdom was once one of the divine kingdoms of the Six Central Divine Dynasty.

"Legend has it that the Ancient God of Nine Heavens once forcibly entered the origin of the Divine Sacrifice Karma Fire Realm and never returned."

"He didn't just not return; he died there."

His companion shook his head.

"If he died there, why is it said that a celestial scroll flew into the Nine Heavens Ancient Radiance Kingdom? I think the Nine Heavens Ancient Radiance God did not die."

"That happened so many years ago, they're long dead now."

The companions disagreed.

"The Heavenly Scroll, does the Heavenly Scroll really exist?"

Upon hearing the word "Heavenly Scroll," Liu Chengfeng was startled.

"That's just hearsay; it's impossible."

The cultivator's companion disagreed.

"Don't forget, legend has it that the origin of the Nine Heavens Ancient God was related to the Divine Sacrifice Karmic Fire Realm, as was that of the Six Vehicle Gods."

"If the Ancient God of Nine Heavens were still alive, he would have returned long ago. How could the ancient kingdom have fallen from the divine kingdom to the Hu kingdom?"

His companions still disagreed, and the cultivator couldn't find any words to refute them.

Liu Chengfeng learned more from them.

The Ancient God of Nine Heavens, upon receiving the divine treasure, obtained divine ashes and became renowned throughout the world for his "Devouring Wilderness Cauldron Technique".

Combined with the power of divine ash, it can overcome great physical and mental obstacles.

After becoming a chief god, he ventured deep into the Divine Sacrifice Fire Realm to explore its origins, but perished there.

Countless millennia later, karmic fire descended upon the ancient kingdom of Jiuxiao, burning it to ashes overnight and killing billions of lives.

The once divine kingdom is now in ruins.

"The karmic fire destroyed the ancient kingdom overnight."

Liu Chengfeng sensed something was wrong. The destruction of the ancient kingdom and the death of the Nine Heavens Ancient God were too far apart.

"Don't stay in this place for too long. The resentment is too strong, and if you stay there too long, it will invade your soul."

After the exchange, the cultivators who were searching for treasure reminded Liu Chengfeng and then hurriedly left.

"Are there really treasures or rare minerals?"

After saying goodbye to them, Liu Chengfeng was also interested, and what interested him even more was the Heavenly Scroll they mentioned.

If the karmic fire destroyed the Nine Heavens Ancient Radiance Kingdom, he would rather believe it was for the sake of the Heavenly Scroll.

This guess doesn't make sense either; it's not worth destroying the entire ancient kingdom just for the sake of the Heavenly Scroll.

Liu Chengfeng followed the direction indicated by the starlight and used the "True Creation Technique" to open his Heavenly Eye and observe the heavens and earth.

As the treasure hunters said, there were indeed some treasures in the ruins.

The ancient kingdom was destroyed too quickly back then; everyone died before they could even escape, leaving behind many things.

Unfortunately, millions of years have passed, and the precious treasures have long been dug up by others.

Liu Chengfeng didn't even bother with the leftover treasures.

Not only treasures, but even underground mineral veins were dug up.

The ancient kingdom of Jiuxiaohuang has been destroyed, and everything has become ownerless, naturally being swept away by someone.

As Liu Chengfeng's senses swept across the land, countless resentful cries and wails flooded his mind wherever he went, impossible to completely block out.

How horrific it was back then, with billions of lives suddenly extinguished by fire.

"There's a chance—"

Liu Chengfeng used his perception to trace the veins of the mineral and discovered traces of a top-grade mineral.

The investigation invigorated Liu Chengfeng, filling him with joy, for this was the Falling Star Mine.

In Shenchuan, he only obtained one Falling Star Road mine.

Unexpectedly, a Fallen Star Mine was discovered amidst the ruins.

This is precisely the time when he needs Falling Star Dao Ore. If he has enough Dao Ore, he will forge the Falling Star Axe into a fifth-tier top-grade divine artifact.

In the entire Qingmeng Realm, there are probably only a handful of fifth-tier top-grade divine artifacts that can be counted on three fingers.

Liu Chengfeng relentlessly pursued the Falling Star Mine, entering a range of towering mountains.

However, before he could even find the Falling Star Mine, his path was blocked, and he was not allowed to enter.

"Why?"

Liu Chengfeng was immediately displeased.

“Our Crown Prince is prospecting for minerals here; no one is allowed to enter.”

The other party was extremely arrogant and wanted to drive Liu Chengfeng away.

The other party is confident and powerful, which is why they dare to claim the land and prevent anyone from entering.

"Why?"

Liu Chengfeng's eyes turned cold, and a murderous aura arose.

Having finally discovered the Falling Star Passage mine, he was not about to give up so easily.

"On what grounds? What grounds does our ancient, remote kingdom need?"

"What makes our ancient, remote kingdom, one of the six great kingdoms, so special?"

The other party laughed wildly, looking down at Liu Chengfeng with disdain.

The enemy has a thousand people, and they are very powerful. Several of them are gods, while Liu Chengfeng is only a demigod. They don't take him seriously.

The Ancient Kingdom of the Distant Desert is one of the twenty-four Great Kingdoms of the Six Divine Dynasties, and also one of the six Great Divine General Kingdoms.

The Six Divine Dynasties are topped by the Divine Realm, followed by the Divine Kingdom, the General Kingdom, and the Hu Kingdom.

“Kill him, he’s so noisy.”

The distant prince, who was observing the heavens and earth and exploring the great veins of the mountain peak, was immediately displeased and ordered Liu Chengfeng to be executed.
