Chapter 2399 The Faceless Man
The sea stretches to the horizon, boundless and limitless.
It contains a universe within, encompassing everything.
The border sea has become increasingly unstable lately.
Several peak-level Emperors had long ago discovered the exact coordinates of the Divine Continent, but they remained hidden in a corner of the Boundary Sea, refusing to reveal themselves and waiting for the situation to change.
The time has come; it's time to enter the game.
Before they even arrived, an extraordinary upheaval of rules had already swept across the land. The Northern Wilderness was the first to be affected; in the star field near the Boundary Sea, order collapsed directly, countless stars fell, light and darkness mingled, and not a single peaceful place could be found.
Not only the Northern Wilderness was affected, but other areas were as well.
Hundreds of millions of lives have been lost due to the imbalance of rules.
This is a cruel world where there is no fairness, only differences in strength.
Above the eerie black mist of the star field, Chen Qingyuan sat cross-legged on the Chaos Profound Abyss, his body shimmering with countless points of soft light, as if he were wearing a robe of the Great Dao. He was in the Nine Heavens, overlooking the universe, exuding ultimate nobility.
Faced with the impending terrifying storm, Chen Qingyuan remained calm and composed, his eyes like a still, deep pool.
The aura emanating from him became increasingly unfathomable.
He tried to move forward in that direction, vaguely touching it, but he could never grasp it. It was like quicksand in his palm; with the slightest force, it would slip through his fingers and he could not hold onto it.
His heart beat at a specific frequency.
Each leap aligns with the great path, clearing away the thin mist ahead and gradually revealing a clearer view.
"coming soon."
The unusual aura in the universe became increasingly apparent. Chen Qingyuan was certain that the guest who had arrived was a truly distinguished person, whose strength had reached the limits of the world.
Chen Qingyuan needs external pressure to embark on his own path.
It is impossible to succeed by trying to understand the Tao on your own.
He was waiting, and Mu Cangyan was also waiting.
Now that the game has been set up, there's no going back halfway. At this point, even if Mu Cangyan intended to back down, the terrifying beings from various cosmic domains wouldn't allow it.
An Xiruo and the others retreated to a relatively safe area. Although they were far apart, they were able to project an image using Situ Lin's Forbidden Heavenly Book, which showed Chen Qingyuan's figure.
If the situation becomes further chaotic, Situ Lin will immediately put away the Heavenly Book. Forcibly trying to peek into the life of a top expert at the peak of the Emperor's Path is far too risky.
......
Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.
A new guest arrived in the land of China. He was a burly man dressed in white mourning clothes, exuding a somewhat sinister aura.
Occasionally, the sound of weeping ghosts could be heard surrounding him.
If others heard this, they would be terrified and might even be scared to death.
Judging from the back view alone, they are no different from humans.
But a glance at it from the front would surely be shocking.
This person has no facial features, and their skin is very smooth.
A faceless man dressed in mourning clothes!
It exudes a surging and terrifying imperial aura!
His mere presence was enough to make the heavens tremble and all paths retreat.
On the surface, he did not have eyes, but there was a faint vertical line at the top of his face, which should have served as eyes, observing the surrounding situation.
He raised his right hand, its knuckles distinct and deathly pale, devoid of any color. With a slight flick of his fingertips, he grasped a wisp of black mist.
The vertical lines on his face flickered as he carefully examined the black mist entwined around his fingertips. A chilling voice emanated from his chest: "Indeed, it is the key to immortality."
Having identified the energy fluctuations of the Immortal Path, the Faceless Man flicked his finger and easily wiped away the black mist at his fingertip, without breaking a sweat.
"This world is a little different."
Then, the faceless man took a step forward, traversing a star field and arriving at a certain city. With a few simple tricks, he gained a preliminary understanding of the Divine Land and fell into deep thought.
Aside from the opportunity for immortality, what interests the Faceless Man most is the forbidden zone of immortal bones.
In the world he lived in, there was no place similar to the forbidden zone of immortal bones.
The borders of China should be quite special.
"interesting."
If he had known that Shenzhou was so interesting, the Faceless Man would never have remained hidden in the Boundary Sea; he would have come long ago.
Hey!
The Faceless Man did not go directly to the Imperial State, but instead went to the Twin Lotus Star System.
The four forbidden zones of immortals are all gathered here, and there is another one nearby.
Soon after, the Faceless Man arrived at his destination.
He stood on the edge of the Twin Lotus Star System, carefully observing the forbidden zone.
Every corner of this galaxy is filled with forbidden rules. However, the Faceless Man didn't take this level of rule intensity seriously.
Although the strength of the rules cannot harm the Faceless Man, what they contain is extraordinary.
Transcending worldly concerns must come from another dimension.
"Could it truly be transformed from immortal bones?"
When he first learned of this information, the Faceless Man was extremely skeptical. Now, having witnessed the Immortal Bone Forbidden Zone, he had no choice but to believe it.
The supreme being of the Immortal Path of Immortality transformed into a forbidden zone after death.
Woohoo——
Another faint, ghostly wail emanated from the faceless man's body, causing the temperature of the surrounding void to plummet and freeze instantly.
"There are living creatures too!"
After observing for a while, the Faceless Man's gaze locked onto the Sea of Illusion. Standing atop the Emperor's Path, he could naturally detect the traces of the Primordial Gods.
The faceless man murmured, "Interesting."
Suddenly being targeted by an extremely terrifying being, the ancient gods were on high alert and immediately mobilized their clan's resources to prepare for defense.
As the ancient gods broke a certain seal and revealed their primordial aura, the faceless man clearly showed a solemn expression and abandoned the idea of attacking the gods: "I actually felt a trace of danger."
If the Primordial Gods were easy to deal with, Mu Cangyan would have acted long ago. Why would she have made a deal with the Gods? She would have simply used force to extract the Origin Rules and take them for herself.
The high command of the Divine Race was extremely tense, fearing a sudden attack from this unknown being. They were somewhat relieved that they had sent the Divine Child away beforehand; otherwise, simply getting out of the Divine Continent safely would have been a major challenge, and the difficulty of finding a way to break the deadlock would have increased significantly.
"The forbidden zone of immortal bones is worth exploring in depth."
The Faceless Man decides to choose a restricted area for in-depth investigation to see if he can discover any useful clues that will help him on his future path.
Once the thought arises, act on it immediately.
Let's set aside the Sea of Illusions for now; there's no need to create trouble for ourselves.
The remaining three forbidden zones are: the Ancient Land of the Dead, the Realm of Rebirth, and the Forbidden Zone of Burial.
Deng!
A few breaths later, the faceless man headed towards the Forbidden Zone of Burial Eternity. Perhaps he sensed a slightly different aura, which led him to make this choice.
"I have prepared a banquet. Please, distinguished guest, move in."
Just then, Mu Cangyan's voice came from a certain direction.
Hearing the invitation from others, the Faceless Man showed no surprise. His voice came from his abdomen as he replied indifferently, "No rush."
