As the Universe Turns - Chapter 926
Chapter 926 Guixu
The three of them trembled. At this moment, they felt as if they had fallen into an abyss. A terrifying voice sounded from behind them, “Die!”
Before he could finish speaking, a terrifying Power of Gods and Demons had already enveloped the three of them from below. No one could escape. At this moment, Xiao Meng’er’s palm slammed towards Zi Yuan, and with the help of the recoil force, it instantly rose more than ten zhang. He raised the Unsullied Lotus Platform, instantly transforming into a swift ray of light and rushing towards the sky.
This was too sudden. Even Xiao Chen could not react immediately. By the time he reacted, Zi Yuan had already fallen down and was about to be devoured by Power of Gods and Demons.
“Zi Yuan!”
Xiao Chen used his free hand instantly, but in the end, he was unable to catch her. He could only instantly unleash the Ling Xian Steps and rush towards her.
At this moment, Xiao Meng’er had already flown into the sky on the Lotus Platform. With Xiao Chen and Zi Yuan attracting her attention, the Fiendgods below the Abyss Valley did not chase after her. However, there were layers of black clouds covering the sky. Obviously, it was a formidable Fiendgods restriction. Unless she and Xiao Chen worked together, it would be possible to forcefully break it.
At the moment of life and death, she was no longer allowed to think about it. She suddenly formed a seal with both of her hands. At this moment, her entire body was shrouded in brilliant light. She unexpectedly used all of her Xianyuan power and instantly turned into a streak of white light. With a “boom”, she forcefully broke through the restriction and flew into the sky. In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, even though Xiao Chen had reached out and grabbed Zi Yuan, he didn’t have time to take her away. Just as he was about to use the Instant Step Cosmos, he was already enveloped by Power of Gods and Demons. In the end, he was still a step too slow.
After an unknown amount of time, the scene in front of him finally became clear. Zi Yuan was protected by Xiao Chen just now, and he was unharmed. Fortunately, he was not infected by Gas of Gods and Demons.
“Venerable, Excellency …”
At this moment, Zi Yuan slowly regained her senses. She recalled that Xiao Chen had captured her last, but now, the two of them were somewhere else. The scene in front of them seemed to be somewhat familiar. It was at the bottom of the abyss valley!
When she saw this familiar scene, Zi Yuan couldn’t help but be stunned. Not far ahead, it was indeed that terrifying Fiendgod sitting there motionlessly …
“No, it’s not the Abyss Valley from before.” Xiao Chen stared at the motionless Fiendgod in the distance and said, “It should be inside the Fiendgod’s … body.”
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the last time in Tomb of Gods and Demons, when he broke into the forbidden area of the Twelve-fingered Heart Demon and was trapped inside a shell. At that time, there was indeed a shell in the forbidden area of the Twelve-fingered Heart Demon. It was not as simple as sleeping in one go.
And now that he was trapped in this Fiendgod’s body, how should he get out? He should have thought that with Xiao Meng’er’s scheming, she would definitely resort to any means in life and death, but when she reacted, it was already too late …
The motionless Fiendgods beneath the valley were exactly the same as when they saw them outside. A bloody hole was pierced through their chest, and their internal organs were shattered. Their heads were pierced by a flying sword, but even so, they wouldn’t die …
However, the Fiendgod they saw at this moment should be the Fiendgod’s consciousness, not its main body. They were currently inside the Fiendgod’s body.
This Fiendgod Body was like a world.
“God? Demon? Return to the Ruins …”
At this moment, the Fiendgod seemed to have fallen into some sort of confusion. He closed his eyes and sat down against the valley, motionless.
“Your Excellency, what exactly is he talking about …”
Zi Yuan naturally did not understand the ancient language of this Fiendgod, but he did not know why Xiao Chen could understand it. It was just like back in White Bone City in Tomb of Gods and Demons, where he could communicate with the remnant ancient god consciousness of the Myriad Bone Formation.
“Be careful.”
Xiao Chen carefully approached the Fiendgod’s consciousness. However, the other party still seemed to be lost. In the next three days, it was unknown if three days had passed outside.
During these three days, the consciousness of the Fiendgods was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, but most of the time, they were lost.
Today, the Fiendgods seemed to have finally regained their senses and said in a low voice, “Mortals … why are they here?”
“Venerable, Excellency …”
Hearing the devil speak, Zi Yuan’s face was slightly shocked. She still did not understand what the devil was saying, but Xiao Chen could understand it. She walked towards the valley and looked at the devil in front of her.
Although he could understand the language of the gods and devils, he was unable to speak the language of the gods and devils. At this moment, he could only use his consciousness to communicate with the other party, “I am truly sorry for not intending to intrude into your territory …”
“Can you understand my language?”
The divine devil’s voice was still deep. Xiao Chen said with his consciousness, “Even though thousands of years have passed and the world has long been filled with vicissitudes, there are still ancient books that record everything that happened, including language …”
“Tens of thousands of years have passed. It’s been a long time. No … Ah!”
The Fiendgod seemed to have fallen into some sort of confusion again, while Zi Yuan stood behind and looked at everything in front of her with fear. She could only hear the Fiendgod speak, but she could not hear Xiao Chen. It seemed that Excellency was communicating with the Fiendgod with her consciousness …
After a long while, the consciousness of the Fiendgods gradually became clear. However, at this moment, an inexplicable expression of vicissitudes appeared in his eyes. It caused one to see that a sorrowful feeling actually surged into his heart. He only heard him mutter, “I failed. Last time, I also failed …”
“Failed?”
Xiao Chen couldn’t understand what this Fiendgod was saying at first. After a long time, the Fiendgod slowly regained his senses and looked at him, “Do you know … Gui Xu?”
“Guixu …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. He was no stranger to the word “Return to the Ruins” now. He still remembered that in Tomb of Gods and Demons, White Bone City, his consciousness entered the Myriad Bones Formation of the Ancient God.
At that moment, he seemed to have fused with the consciousness of an ancient god. The ancient god was him, and he was the ancient god.
He saw the universe, everything in the primordial wilderness, and a grand formation that locked the heavens and the earth, the sun and moon. It was an ancient formation that was so majestic that it could lock everything in the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars! It was suffocating.
However, that ancient formation seemed to have lost its most important part. It was as if a person had lost his heart, his life, and his light.
Afterwards, he seemed to have fallen into a state of confusion, as if he was the ancient formation …
Finally, he heard another intermittent voice. It was the remnant consciousness of an ancient god.
“Failure … Failure … Formation Heart has been lost … Exile … Return to Ruins … Formation Heart has been lost … Leave …”
After a while, Xiao Chen gradually regained his senses. Although he was no stranger to the word Guixu, he did not know what kind of place it was. He had only seen a few words from ancient books and said, “Guixu is unknown for hundreds of millions of kilometers. There is no bottom below it, so it is called Guixu.”
“Not bad …”
“Gui Xu is the place where the gods and devils are banished. Once they enter Gui Xu, regardless of whether it is an Immortal Devil or a Divine Buddha, no one will be able to come out of the Ruins,” he said, gradually waking up his consciousness. “No one will be able to come out of the Ruins.”
“The Land of Exile for Fiendgods …”
This time, Xiao Chen’s expression gradually became serious. Was there really such a terrifying place in the world? Even if the Eternal Immortal Devil Divine Buddha entered, he would never be able to come out again …
Suddenly, he thought of something. In the previous era, the Fiendgods had disappeared, and countless experts in the world had disappeared. Could it be …
But who has the ability to banish all Immortal Devil Gods and Buddhas to the Ruins …
After a long time, the Fiendgod slowly said, “Only the Ten Directions Ancient Array can open the Ruins of Return. However, back then, the array heart had already been lost, and the array heart had already been lost. Only … can we find the array heart … er! Can we find the reincarnation of the array heart …”
At this point, the Fiendgod’s consciousness gradually became confused again, causing the surrounding area to tremble. Zi Yuan stood behind a stone, her heart trembling slightly, afraid that the Fiendgod would suddenly attack Xiao Chen after going crazy.
“The array heart has been lost …”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. Just like what the Twelve-fingered Heart Demon had said back in Tomb of Gods and Demons, the Heart of the Formation had already been lost. What exactly was it referring to? And what did the reincarnation of the Heart of the Formation mean?
This time, the Fiendgod quickly regained consciousness and looked at Xiao Chen motionlessly. “I smelled something similar on you …”
“What?”
Xiao Chen didn’t understand what the Fiendgod meant. Before he could react, a wisp of Fiendgod’s consciousness suddenly shot towards the center of his eyebrows. Zi Yuan stood behind him with a shocked expression. However, when he reacted, that wisp of Fiendgod’s consciousness had already pierced into Xiao Chen’s eyebrows.
“Hahahaha …”
Immediately after, the Fiendgod suddenly burst into laughter, “So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is! Someone actually planted Three Corpse Demon in your body …”
“Three Corpse Demon …”
After that, Zi Yuan was slightly shocked. This time, she understood the three words “Three Corpse Demon”, but Xiao Chen’s expression remained unchanged. At this moment, he seemed to already know who this Fiendgod was. After a long time, he slowly heard him say, “Your Excellency is the Heaven Realm High God who disappeared from Acheron Valley back then.”
“Your generation calls this place Acheron Valley? Back then, I accidentally caused the aura of the Underworld to seep into the mortal world … Now, there are still people who remember me, but …”
At this point, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes, “My divine sense will soon completely fuse with this demonic sense. I have often fallen into confusion and wonder if I am … a divine demon?”
At this moment, Xiao Chen finally understood that the heavily injured Fiendgod Body in front of him was not a High God, but the ancient Fiendgod that fought against the High God. He was injured by the High God, but in the end, the High God was trapped by his Devil Sense, and his Divine Sense was gradually devoured by him.
He didn’t know whether this Fiendgod in front of him was the High God or the Ancient Fiendgod.
Suddenly, the Fiendgod raised his head and looked at him, “I don’t know how much longer I can stay awake, but before I fall into complete confusion, junior, you must leave this place …”
“You … want me to leave?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his face revealed a look of doubt. “Not only did I let you leave, I also gave you my strand of divine and demonic knowledge. If you find the person who planted Diabolism in your body in the future, I might be able to help you …”
“Divine Devil Sense …”
Xiao Chen touched the space between his eyebrows and immediately felt an icy cold aura coming from the abyss. At this time, the Fiendgod said, “I told you to leave this place, but she … can’t leave.” At this point, two icy cold gazes shot towards Zi Yuan, causing the latter to feel suffocated.
“Why?”
Xiao Chen immediately regained his senses. He understood that the Fiendgods didn’t want the secrets of this place to be brought out. He said, “She doesn’t understand what you said. Furthermore, she definitely won’t tell anyone about this place.”
“I … to be exact, you can leave, but she … must die!”
At this moment, two bloody lights suddenly blossomed in the eyes of the Fiendgod. Clearly, it was the Ancient Fiendgod’s demonic sense that once again occupied the dominant position.
