As the Universe Turns - Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Mysterious Black Disk
Xiao Chen slowly approached. Looking at these two peerless experts who had already fallen, a thousand layers of white waves stirred up in his heart. Even though his cultivation had reached a desperate level, and even though he looked down on the world’s Immortal Devil Gods and Buddhas, he was still unable to escape death, and was still unable to escape that annihilation?

He suddenly felt a little sad in his heart. Such an expert could not escape the Laws of Heaven and Earth, and such an expert would also die. What else in this world was eternal?

Everyone in the world wanted to live forever after cultivating, but since ancient times, looking at the thousands of Immortal Devil Gods and Buddhas, who could surpass the six reincarnations and truly live forever?

At this moment, even these two peerless experts of the previous era would not be able to escape death. How could those so-called Empyrean Immortals and Gods escape death?

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and walked closer. Under the dim light, he could clearly see that the two of them were in a strange posture. The person on the left slapped the person on the right on the head. The person on the right slapped the person on the left in the chest, while the other hand of the two held an object at the same time.

So that’s how it is …

Xiao Chen seemed to understand something. The person on the left shattered the Heavenly Spirit of the person on the right with a single palm strike. The person on the right shattered the person on the left’s heart vein with a single palm strike. What exactly was the thing that the two of them were still fighting over until their deaths?

What exactly was it that was worth fighting for with the lives of two peerless experts?

Xiao Chen walked closer. The thing in their hands seemed to be a hexagonal stone plate. However, it was already covered with layers of dust, and they could no longer see what it was.

He slowly stretched out his hand and lightly touched the hexagonal stone plate. It was at this moment that the hexagonal stone plate seemed to tremble, and dust fell from it. It was also at this moment that he felt a strange aura and instinctively jumped backwards.

The dust on their bodies continued to fall, and their bodies gradually turned into dust. In the end, they turned into two piles of dust.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the bodies of two peerless experts had actually turned into two piles of dust. Who wouldn’t die? Even though he had been strong for a while and had fought against the heavens and the earth, tens of thousands of years later, he had finally turned into a pile of loess.

Xiao Chen was stunned. With a “dong” sound, the hexagonal stone plate that the two of them had fought for tens of thousands of years ago also fell. The dust scattered, but it was a black plate.

In the next instant, before he could react, six black profound lights suddenly bloomed on the plate, rushing straight to the top of the hall. A terrifying aura enveloped the entire remnant in an instant, as if it had been silent for tens of thousands of years. At this moment, it was as if it had finally seen the light of day again!

“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”

An endless aura quickly spread out from the plate, as if it was carrying the power to reverse reincarnation and twist the heavens and earth. It was especially suffocating!

Xiao Chen subconsciously retreated backwards. He stared at the strange plate that was blooming with a faint light without moving his eyes. He was on guard. He didn’t know what was inside the plate. If it was released tens of thousands of years ago, the Great Demon of the previous era would be incredible.

After a long time, the ghostly light on the hexagonal stone plate gradually faded away. Everything returned to its calm, as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Chen looked at the black plate that had quietly fallen to the ground. He carefully walked over and slowly picked it up. He wiped away a layer of dust. Only then did he see that there was a strange symbol carved on each of the six corners of the plate. There was also a small indentation in the middle, forming a small groove.

He couldn’t understand these symbols, but when he saw the next symbol, his face was suddenly shocked. Why was this symbol somewhat familiar? It’s three strange flowers. Why are these three flowers so familiar? I think I’ve seen them somewhere before …

Suddenly, he remembered that it was in the cave that he had forced poison on behalf of Lady Rakshasa. It was those three strange flowers! It was exactly the same as the three strange flowers on Mistress Rakshasa’s back!

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt as if a monstrous wave had surged in his heart. This was something from a previous era tens of thousands of years ago. What did these six symbols represent? Why is there a symbol on Lady Rakshasa’s back? What exactly are these? Who exactly was she?

Everything seemed to be so complicated and confusing. After thinking for a long time, Xiao Chen found it hard to understand who he was.

Shen Jing said that she was not from the Ancient Village, and her parents were not from the Ancient Village either. However, twenty years ago, when she was still a baby, she was involved in the deaths of the entire Ancient Village. Who exactly was she, and why did she always bring calamity to the people around her …

At this moment, he was holding the strange plate and gently stroking it with his palm. He noticed two more symbols. One was like a leaf, the other was like a crescent moon. These two symbols were very special. Why did they have an indescribable feeling?

Xiao Chen carefully looked at the two strange symbols on the hexagonal stone plate. At this moment, he suddenly felt a trace of bloodline connection. This feeling came from the blood jade on his body.

He quickly took out the blood jade and saw a flash of red light on the jade. At this moment, it was as if he had sensed the strange stone plate.

His eyes were wide open, and his gaze was filled with disbelief. At this moment, he finally understood why he had jumped off the Immortal Burial Cliff without any damage. So it was this jade that had always protected him!

This blood jade was called Samsara. It was something that had been on his body all those years ago. However, after Ling Yin saved him, he saw that the jade was strange and took it away. Only after he went to Xuan Qing and grew up did Ling Yin return the jade to him.

However, he himself did not know. He only thought that this was the protective jade that his master had gifted him, so that he would always carry it with him and not reveal it to others casually.

Legend has it that the jade can protect the master. At this moment, he firmly believed that it was this jade that protected him when he jumped off the Immortal Burial Cliff. Afterwards, this jade had lost its luster all the time, and only now did it regain its red glow. But why was all of this happening? Why was the jade that Master had given him able to sense the stone plate tens of thousands of years ago?

Suddenly, he noticed the groove in the middle of the stone plate. Wasn’t this groove exactly the same size as the jade? It actually fits perfectly …

Xiao Chen found it hard to believe. He suddenly remembered something and placed the blood jade in the groove. The moment the blood jade was put in, the two things seemed to fuse together. Instantly, streaks of red and black profound light blossomed, and even the six symbols on it lit up.

“This …”

Xiao Chen felt even more incredulous. He was actually able to fuse together. Right at this moment, the entire dilapidated palace suddenly trembled violently, and dust fell from the stone wall.

“Shit …”

Xiao Chen was secretly shocked. It wasn’t that the palace was trembling, but that this ancient ruin was shaking. This place was probably going to collapse. If he didn’t leave, he would have to be buried inside.

At this moment, he could no longer care about that much. He retrieved the blood jade and the two things immediately lost their luster.

Xiao Chen glanced at the strange stone plate. Without thinking much, he immediately put it into his sleeve. Then, he unleashed the Ling Xian Steps and quickly left. Unexpectedly, before he could rush out, the road that he had come from earlier collapsed.

The entire palace was covered in dust, constantly trembling. The road to the palace had already been blocked. He could only rush towards the road inside the palace. After running for an unknown amount of time, he finally rushed out of the palace.

When they arrived outside, they saw the mountains collapse. The originally dilapidated palaces turned into dust one by one, as if annihilation was approaching. The mountain peaks also collapsed, and the scene was extremely terrifying.

This ancient ruin was supposed to have disappeared tens of thousands of years ago, but it had lasted for tens of thousands of years underground. However, at this moment, it was finally going to completely disappear.

“Shit …”

Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Once this ancient ruin disappeared, wouldn’t he also disappear into the ground?

At this moment, he suddenly saw a bright spot flash in the distance. That was the exit!

He did not hesitate any longer and immediately flew over with the Ling Xian Steps. Finally, he escaped before the entire ruins disappeared.

With a “putong” sound, Xiao Chen fell heavily into the sand and escaped. However, due to the disappearance of the underground ruins, the yellow sand within a radius of several hundred kilometers was rapidly sinking underground. If he did not escape, he would still be swept away by this terrifying force.

It was already dark outside. The moment the sand sank, he took out his flying sword and instantly turned into a streak of azure light that pierced through the sky.

The desert within a radius of a hundred kilometers had sunk. It looked extremely strange. Xiao Chen’s sword landed on a stone peak. Looking back, he was still a little shocked when he saw the large sinking desert. However, he managed to escape.

After resting for a while, he took out the black stone plate. Under the faint moonlight, the black plate looked even more strange, but at this moment, there was no trace of aura, as if it was an ordinary stone plate.

Xiao Chen held onto the stone plate tightly. The thing that could make two peerless experts fight to the death tens of thousands of years ago was definitely not just an ordinary thing. As for what it was, he couldn’t figure it out now. He could only wait to find clues in the future.

At this moment, he had to leave as soon as possible. He did not know if the ten mysterious people had died in the desert. If not, once the other party caught up, he would definitely not be a match for the ten of them alone.

Thinking of this, he put away the mysterious black disk, formed a seal on his hand, and immediately took off his sword, transforming into a ray of azure light that flew into the distance.

More than half a month later, the Death Desert seemed boundless, much wider than any of the five domains.

Xiao Chen had already traveled through the desert for a month. He was running out of water and food. There was not a trace of spiritual energy in this arid desert. If there was no water, ordinary people would not be able to last for half a day. Even cultivators would only be able to last for three days in a place without the slightest bit of spiritual energy.

Now, he finally understood why this place was called the Desert of Death. Even he couldn’t easily cross it, let alone those ordinary cultivators.

Xiao Chen walked through the blazing sun for another three days. He had run out of water. At noon, he finally saw an oasis. However, such an oasis in the Death Desert seemed to be even more bizarre and dangerous.
