#743 - Collapse in despair and pain!
In the first level, Jun Wuxie and Yue Chenyu easily reached the middle of the platform.
He held the Saint Source in his hand, carefully sensing the energy within. It seemed to still belong to the category of spiritual energy and had not exceeded that level.
However, its purity was extremely high, and it contained a special origin. This origin gave people a very ancient and distant feeling, as if it came from the primordial source before the creation of the world.
"It really is Hongmeng Origin Qi…"
After carefully sensing it, Yue Chenyu revealed a hint of surprise on her icy face.
"Hongmeng?"
Jun Wuxie was stunned, feeling very shocked.
Hongmeng existed before chaos. Could the origin in this Saint Source be so ancient?
Hongmeng could be considered one of the primordial energies at the very beginning of all things.
"Yes, the origin contained within is Hongmeng Origin Qi, but its purity is extremely low. It belongs to the purity after being diluted billions of times, but for people of our realm, it is also an incomparably precious resource."
"It seems that coming to the Golden Scale Secret Realm was the right choice! Absorbing these Saint Source Qi, we can fuse traces of Hongmeng Origin Qi with ourselves, which will definitely produce special effects…"
Jun Wuxie's heart was filled with anticipation. The steps behind were very long, and there were many platforms. As long as they passed the test of the levels, they could obtain more Saint Source and more Hongmeng Origin Qi.
"Of course! When a cultivator fuses Hongmeng Origin Qi of this purity into their body, their cultivation speed will be greatly improved. Hongmeng can also enlighten and enhance comprehension ability. Moreover, since Hongmeng is one of the sources of the beginning of all things, fusing it can make the body more inclusive. In the future, the speed of refining various attributes of resources will be faster than before! Furthermore, even if it is diluted billions of times, it still has the effect of helping cultivators lay the foundation for the Saint Realm, making it easier to reach the Saint Realm in the future."
"It has such an effect?"
Jun Wuxie found it hard to believe. He naturally knew that Hongmeng Origin Qi was extremely powerful, but the purity of Hongmeng Origin Qi in this Saint Source was extremely low. According to Yue Chenyu, it had been diluted billions of times, but it could still allow people to lay the foundation for the Saint Realm?
"Of course!"
Yue Chenyu said that Hongmeng Origin Qi belonged to innate Saint Qi. No matter how diluted it was, as long as it was fused into the body, it could give the body Saintliness, making it relatively easier to reach the Saint Realm.
She said that anything of the innate Saint level could not be compared to the Saint level mentioned by the world.
Innate Saint level represented the most original and ancient meaning.
The so-called Saint now was just a definition given by the world, which was the acquired Saint, regardless of the level of things or the realm of cultivation.
"Let me put it this way, before the birth of the heavens and the universe, in a certain period, the heaven and earth were all void, and only Hongmeng Origin Qi and other energies existed. In the years that followed, everything in the heavens was evolved from them. A trace of their energy can derive all things in the heavens. How vast and special do you think the energy contained in them is?"
"Them? Do you mean that besides Hongmeng Origin Qi, there are other ancient origins of the same level?"
"Of course, there is also the Origin Qi, which is the real beginning of everything. Origin derives Hongmeng, and Hongmeng derives all things. It's just that Origin Qi is too rare. There isn't much even in the heavens and the universe, and even Emperor Realm experts can't find it easily."
Hearing the four words Origin Qi, Jun Wuxie's heart shook violently!
Wasn't the Spiritual Void Value he used to irrigate the World Tree earlier the Origin Qi?
At that time, he also asked the World Tree, but the World Tree didn't say anything.
However, he didn't know what the purity of the Origin Qi that irrigated the World Tree was.
But thinking about it, it should have been diluted many times, and the purity couldn't be high. Otherwise, he would have had a very strong special feeling at that time.
"Let's go, continue to the second level. You can take this Saint Source and refine it."
Jun Wuxie handed the Saint Source to Yue Chenyu, but Yue Chenyu shook her head, saying that they could obtain more Saint Source later. There was no need for them to be modest about it now, and he should refine it himself.
Jun Wuxie didn't insist anymore. Yue Chenyu was right. There were many levels ahead. As long as they passed through them, they could continuously obtain the Saint Source.
His current realm was already close to the Great Perfection of the Minor Heavenly Position Extreme Realm, and he could just use the Saint Source to break through, and also lay the foundation for the Saint Realm for himself, giving his body Saintliness, and also improve his cultivation speed and comprehension.
This Saint Source could be said to be a treasure-level resource for cultivators, something that was originally hard to come by, but now it could be obtained by strength.
No wonder this place was called the Golden Scale Secret Realm!
Golden scales are not things in a pond, once they encounter wind and clouds, they will transform into a dragon.
The Golden Scale Secret Realm was very appropriate. As long as one could continuously obtain the Saint Source here, their strength could be continuously improved, and it would have a permanent effect on future long-term cultivation!
He incorporated the Saint Source into his body, and the Primordial Golden Body Technique automatically operated. There was no need to deliberately refine it, just let the body's operating technique automatically refine it.
Strands of extremely pure special spiritual energy flowed along the meridians to the limbs and bones. Traces of Hongmeng Origin Qi merged into the flesh and blood, merged into the Star Sea, merged into the Wheel of Life, merged into the bloodline…
This feeling was very clear and very comfortable, with the whole body warm, as if bathing in the warm sunshine.
At this time, Yue Chenyu pointed her fingers forward, and sword energy burst from her fingertips, with a trace of the aura of time permeating within the sword energy.
With a bang.
The sword energy cut a huge crack in the barrier.
Jun Wuxie and Yue Chenyu passed through and stepped onto the stairs leading to the second platform, beginning the test of their minds.
At that moment, both of their bodies shook simultaneously.
They only felt that the consciousness in their minds was instantly lost.
Only for a short moment, when their consciousness recovered, their eyes revealed a dazed look.
"Where is this?"
Jun Wuxie looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.
The dilapidated earth, the broken mountains, the dry rivers, he couldn't see a single intact plant. The soil on the ground was covered with blood, scarlet and glaring.
He stared blankly at all this, shaking his head hard, as if he had lost a memory.
He felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it no matter what.
He didn't even know where he was at this moment!
He walked forward, crossed the broken mountains, passed through the plains full of cracks, and crossed the dry rivers.
Everything he saw along the way was dilapidated.
The ground was scarlet like blood, filled with a strong and pungent bloody smell.
"These… are all the blood mud of living beings…"
His voice trembled slightly, and a huge panic suddenly rose in his heart.
He rose into the air, activated the Primordial True Eye, and overlooked the mountains and rivers.
At the end of his vision, he saw a dilapidated city. The city was filled with gray-black energy mist, and even from a long distance, he could feel that kind of strangeness and evil.
"That is… the Qi of the Dark Curse!"
He stepped on the Word Secret, traveling at hundreds of thousands of times the speed of sound, like a streamer cutting through the sky, and arrived in front of the dilapidated city in the blink of an eye.
"Eastern Wilderness Ancient City?"
His heart was trembling, and the fear that arose in his heart overwhelmed him like a tide at this moment.
As far as his eyes could see, the city was dilapidated.
The originally prosperous ancient city was now only left with broken walls and ruins. The messy streets and collapsed building rubble were filled with broken corpses, old people, middle-aged people, young people, children, babies…
They were all gone, all dead!
Many people only had half of their bodies left, their eyes wide open, and the deep sadness and despair in their pupils were frozen in place.
He saw a young mother, holding her child tightly in her arms, still breastfeeding, but she was broken from the waist, her intestines fell all over the ground, and the baby was also pierced by a black war spear, nailing them mother and child to the cold ruins.
"How could this be? The torrent of the end has come, the dark universe beings have come, why don't I know? Where was I before? Why can't I remember!"
He covered his temples with his hands, shaking his head frantically, trying desperately to think, but he couldn't remember no matter what.
Then, he rushed towards the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness like a madman.
All he saw along the way was dilapidation and death, all were the broken corpses of living beings. Whether it was the human race or other races, corpses were floating everywhere, and the whole world was like a human hell.
The Southern Region Ancient City was also gone, turned into dilapidated ruins, surrounded by the Qi of Darkness, resentment soaring to the sky, and a pungent bloody smell.
He rushed back to the Immortal Execution Dynasty from the Southern Region, and what he saw was still dilapidation!
The entire capital city was gone, leaving only ruins, everything was destroyed…
His lips trembled, he only felt cold all over, and his body trembled violently.
"Little Boundary Tree!"
He rushed to the center of the ruins, where there was a withered tree, which had long lost its vitality. The branches and leaves were withered, and the trunk was full of holes, pierced by tens of thousands of war spears filled with dark energy.
Many of her branches were broken, and the remaining ones had lost their energy and hung weakly on the ground. Fresh red blood flowed from the trunk, dyeing a large area of the ground red.
"I'm sorry, I came back too late!"
He trembled as he touched the trunk of the Little Boundary Tree, gritted his teeth, and pulled out all the war spears.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed to the ice field in the dilapidated city.
What he saw was a sea of scarlet.
The white ice field was covered with blood everywhere!
The entire Ice Cloud Tower mountain was covered with cracks, and fresh red blood flowed down the icy white mountain, shocking to the eye.
"Xue Lan!"
"Yu Ning!"
He roared hoarsely, rushing towards Ice Cloud Tower like a madman.
What he saw was only blood mud all over the ground, and he couldn't even find a piece of broken corpse!
"No! How could this be? It shouldn't be like this, ah!!"
His legs trembled, and at this moment, he completely collapsed, kneeling in the blood mud all over the ground, gathering the blood mud on the ground like a madman, his whole body dyed red.
Tears of blood rolled down his face, which was covered in veins.
"I won't allow you to leave me, I won't allow it! Come back to me, I want you back!!"
He roared, his heart-wrenching voice shattering the clouds, echoing in the empty, desolate city.
But no sound responded to him.
His whole body was weak. He knelt in the bloody mud for a long time, then trembled as he rose and rushed towards the sect.
Mount Zongwang was a scene of devastation. The sword monument was broken, the bronze halls and pavilions were covered in cracks, and a large area had collapsed.
The buildings in his small courtyard had all collapsed, and the beautiful peach forest was also in ruins.
He rushed forward and saw Lingfei.
She had been pierced by a black war spear and pinned to the ground, her body surrounded by blood that stained the ground red.
Chan'er lay beside her, also killed by a spear, her hands still tightly clutching her arm.
"Ah!!"
He pulled out the war spears from Lingfei and Chan'er's bodies, letting out a desperate and mournful roar, tightly holding them in his arms, his lips trembling, wailing loudly.
"Hahahaha!"
He cried and laughed, his eyes bloodshot, the tears he shed redder than blood, his features completely twisted, his face crazed and狰狞!
"It's my fault, I didn't protect you well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
He held Lingfei and Chan'er's pale faces, lowered his head, pressed it against their faces, crying like a desperate, helpless child.
After a long time, he took out a soft animal skin and gently placed Lingfei and Chan'er on it, tears of blood dripping onto their pale, cold faces.
He rushed into the depths of the sect through the broken walls, seeing the ground covered in bloody mud, as well as the corpses of Yan Qingcheng, Lilya, Mu Yunxi, Qin Keqing, Su Xiaoxiao, Su Lan, and Yan Ruyu.
"Ah!!"
Deep within the ruined Immortal Execution Sword Sect, a painful and desperate cry of sorrow echoed through the wilderness, followed by blood-soaked weeping, especially clear in this silent world.
After a long time, he carried their bodies back to the front of the small courtyard, placing them side by side with Lingfei and Chan'er.
His daughter, the Ancestor, the Ancestor's Wife, Old Jiu, the small disciples of the sect, all were gone. He didn't even see their complete corpses, only fragments of flesh and blood...
