#871 - Encounter the myth, the strongest enemy

The Qiankun Eight Trigrams Taiji Killing Array Diagram is an extremely terrifying killing array.

Jun Wuxie had to be more cautious because once this killing array was activated, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it with his power.

Even if he used the Myriad Dragons God-Slaying Array to resist, the resulting aftermath and destructive power would be enough to annihilate ordinary Peak Extreme Celestial Realm cultivators.

He hid in the shadows, carefully observing and using his Rune Dao pupil technique to study the mysteries and patterns of the Eight Trigrams Killing Array.

Calmness and composure are the most basic qualities when in a dangerous situation.

This process was very slow, day after day.

During this period, the old man remained in front of the altar without moving, while the child shuttled back and forth between the stream and the thatched cottage near the cemetery.

Jun Wuxie's expression was very focused. After several days of research, he finally understood the mysteries of the Eight Trigrams Killing Array.

These array runes had greatly diminished in power after countless years.

He estimated that with his Rune Dao attainments, he should be able to control it appropriately.

However, controlling it wouldn't be easy; he had to make ample preparations.

He secretly took out top-grade semi-holy materials and evolved the Qiankun Eight Trigrams Taiji Killing Array Diagram in his mind.

The Eight Trigrams World emerged.

The sky collapsed, mountains were crushed, floods surged, a sea of fire burned, gales howled, torrential rain poured, thunder roared, and lightning flashed like dragons. The eight major phenomena worlds evolved in his mind.

These were terrifying, world-destroying scenes.

All the order rules that evolved these scenes were simultaneously deduced within his Qiankun Cave Heaven.

According to these order rules, he began to deduce array runes that could change and control their rules.

Mysterious talismans evolved within his Qiankun Cave Heaven. His fingers moved, his fingertips shone, leaving dense talismans on the materials. These talismans then derived runes, gradually evolving into array diagrams.

A day later, he completed the production of the arrays corresponding to the Eight Trigrams World.

"Now it should be possible. The arrays here will no longer pose a threat to me. What needs attention now is that old man, and perhaps that child of unknown origin…"

Jun Wuxie incorporated the arrays that restrained the Eight Trigrams Killing Array into his Qiankun Cave Heaven before re-entering the core area.

He headed towards the altar in the middle of the cemetery, and the journey was very smooth and went unnoticed.

These mountain-like tombs were different from the tombs outside. They didn't have any tomb entrances and were all closed.

Although there were tombstones, the tomb entrances were behind the tombstones, but they were all sealed off and had sealing restrictions applied to them.

"Are there Dao Fruits inside these large tombs?"

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but feel uncertain when he saw this scene.

Based on the currently understood situation, the person who evolved the Celestial Realm Secret Land wasn't trying to condense Dao Fruits to leave for future generations. Their real purpose was to use the Celestial Realm Dao Fruits to lure the most outstanding young supreme beings from the Lower Realm universe to collect detailed information about their bloodlines, while also collecting the corpses of dead semi-saints and stripping away the ancient blood origins within their bodies.

The core area wasn't open to the public, which meant that it was very likely that there were no Celestial Realm Dao Fruits in the tombs here?

He entered the cemetery and gradually approached the central altar, not far from the old man.

At this distance, he stopped and didn't continue forward, worried that he might be noticed if he got any closer.

Although the old man was filled with a decaying aura, the energy contained within his body was extremely alarming, giving him a feeling of facing an abyss.

From his current position, he could perceive the aura emanating from the spatial rift in the middle of the altar more clearly.

He smelled a very special aura, and the ink-colored Star Sea within his body involuntarily trembled slightly.

"Dark energy, this is the aura of the Dark Universe…"

Jun Wuxie's expression changed drastically. Although he had vaguely guessed this, he still felt shocked and angry when it was confirmed.

The Gate of Space-Time was actually connected to a world in the Dark Universe. Was this meant to send the ancient blood information of the Lower Realm universe to the Dark Universe world?

"No wonder the powerhouses of the Bright Universe are basically suppressed by the creatures of the Dark Universe in the same realm. It's not just that the energy cultivated in the Dark Universe is special, but also this reason! It seems that this kind of thing is definitely not unique to our Lower Realm universe. Countless years ago, the creatures of the Dark Universe began to lay out a plan to collect information on various ancient bloodlines of the Bright Universe…"

Jun Wuxie had already discerned the purpose of the creatures of the Dark Universe.

They had people collect this information, and they would inevitably use it for research, and then they would be able to create secret techniques and cultivation methods specifically targeting them!

"I must stop them, I must not let them succeed…"

Jun Wuxie thought to himself and prepared to rush towards the altar to seize the ancient blood information.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the thought arose and he was about to take action, the old man facing the altar suddenly turned around, his eyes glowing brightly with green light, and he blasted over with a palm from afar.

The palm print covered the mountains and rivers, and its speed was extremely fast.

Jun Wuxie's Primordial True Pupils instantly opened, slowing down the speed of the palm print under his pupil technique.

At the same time, the Qiankun Battle Armor was activated, the Imperial Word Art was applied to his body, the dark energy vortex within his body rotated, and the Primordial Incarnation was released.

The Rune of the Word 'Travel' bloomed beneath his feet, instantly shifting him horizontally, while the Primordial Incarnation took the opportunity to rush towards the altar at the fastest speed.

Boom!

His speed with the Rune of the Word 'Travel' was extremely fast, but he still failed to dodge the palm print.

In an instant, on the Qiankun Battle Armor, the stars, sun, and moon instantly collapsed. The terrifying power penetrated his body, and even with the protection of the Imperial Word Art and the dark energy vortex, it still made him feel that his physical body was about to shatter, his internal organs were completely shattered, and his bones were broken!

Poof!

A mouthful of golden blood spurted out of his mouth, and his body flew out like a shooting star, smashing into the mountain-like tomb, causing the runes to burst, rumble and shake, rocks to fall, and dust to soar into the sky.

"You clever little ghost, you have a lot of tricks. Your concealment technique is quite good, hehe."

The old man rose into the air, his body hunched over and out of shape, like a dried corpse, his eyes flashing with a ghostly green light, revealing a mouthful of blackened, decayed teeth when he spoke, which was very eerie.

At the same time, he waved his sleeve, and vast energy surged, blasting the Primordial Incarnation that had rushed to the altar into a rain of light with one strike.

Jun Wuxie rushed out of the large pit created by the impact on the top of the mausoleum mountain. He hurriedly circulated his life essence to repair his physical body, staring coldly at the old man, and said, "Who exactly are you? Are you the one who evolved the Secret Land back then and deceived the world?"

"What a strong physical body, it's really full of youth and vitality."

The old man grinned and said coldly, "Without reaching the Extreme Celestial Realm, you can withstand an attack with the help of your battle armor. It seems that I am really too old. In order to continue the fire of life, not only has my realm fallen to the Saint Realm, but even my combat power has weakened a lot."

"You shouldn't be the person who evolved the Secret Land, right? Otherwise, how could your control over the Secret Land's arrays be so weak? Why are you collecting the bloodline information of the ancient bloodline holders and sending it to the Dark Universe world? Are you a minion who has submitted to the Dark Universe?"

"What is bright and what is dark? In this old man's heart, there is only eternal benefit. It doesn't matter whether it's bright or dark. Your questions are too foolish and too many. Your ancient blood is very rare. Die, don't try to struggle, it's useless."

As the old man spoke, he stepped forward, and a powerful aura covered the sky and the earth, causing Jun Wuxie to feel unparalleled pressure, as well as an extremely special sense of domain oppression.

"You are… a Myth Realm!"

His mind was greatly shaken. Having just broken through to the Quasi-Myth, he had a very clear understanding of the special feeling of the Myth Realm.

The decaying old man in front of him was actually a powerhouse of the Myth Realm!

"Myth?"

The old man smiled coldly, "When this old man's divine fetus has fused with these ancient bloodlines and devoured your origin, he will surely ascend to the Ten Directions Myth one day, unparalleled throughout the ages!"

After he finished speaking, his body pulled up a string of afterimages, instantly rushing forward and reaching out his hand, wanting to capture Jun Wuxie alive and strip away his bloodline origin.

The Rune of the Word 'Travel' and the Rune Dao runes bloomed together beneath Jun Wuxie's feet, disappearing from the spot like a teleportation and retreating hundreds of miles, dodging his palm.

Almost at the same time, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and an extremely dangerous warning sign grew in his heart. He suddenly turned around and saw an afterimage rushing in front of him.

A very small palm blasted towards him. He didn't have time to counterattack or dodge, so he crossed his hands in front of him to block.

With a bang.

The snow-white palm with baby fat struck his crossed arms, making him feel as if he had been hit by a condensed giant star.

The bones of his two arms were shattered, and the force penetrated his body, causing his body to tremble violently, and fragments of his internal organs were shaken out. The body covered by the Qiankun Battle Armor burst open with countless cracks. If it weren't for the battle armor's restraint, he had no doubt that his physical body would disintegrate on the spot.

His body crashed into the top of a mountain-like mausoleum at high speed, collapsing the top of the mausoleum mountain with rune protection, causing the entire mountain to shake non-stop.

"The second Myth!"

A large amount of blood poured out of Jun Wuxie's mouth, and he looked in shock at the person who attacked him, who was none other than the child who had been playing with pebbles by the stream.

He simply couldn't believe that a six or seven-year-old child had actually stepped into the Myth Realm!

At this time, he saw the child's realm, the Early Stage of the Extreme Celestial Realm!

How was this possible?

An Early Stage Extreme Celestial Realm at six or seven years old, a Myth Realm?

This subverted his understanding.

Before this, he would never have imagined that he would encounter such a scene!

He originally thought that as long as he could suppress the Eight Trigrams Killing Array, the danger would be greatly reduced. Who would have thought that there would be two Myths here!

"Tsk tsk, did you think that you could escape the array's induction with your concealment methods, and then sneak into this place and be safe and sound?"

The little boy giggled. The first half of his voice was childish, but the second half was very old, which was very strange.

"Suppress him, strip away his ancient blood origin, and in a few years, you will be able to shed your death energy and truly be reborn."

The old man came over and said this to the child.

"Is it you who's reborn, or me?" The child's face revealed a strange smile: "Oh, we were originally one person. I still prefer this divine embryo form after the transformation. The original body was too decayed; even I felt disgusted looking at it."

Hearing these words, Jun Wuxie finally understood. It turned out that this child was the divine embryo that the old man had transformed into, his second life. However, the divine embryo might not have completely transformed, causing his body to still be filled with deathly energy. He looked like a child, but in reality, he was not.

What kind of method is this? It can actually be done like this?

The first life and the second life coexist, with the first life assisting the second life in growing?

"Little fellow, you actually want to disrupt my plan and stop me from completing my mission. You truly are an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating yourself. Now, accept your fate."

The old man stretched out his palm, infinitely enlarging it to cover the sky, pressing down.

The entire world below was plunged into darkness. Jun Wuxie watched as the palm suppressed him, the energy cascading down from its fingers like a massive waterfall, making his body unable to move.

"Wanting to kill me and剥离 the ancient blood source? I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"

Jun Wuxie's eyes burst with cold light. Deep within his consciousness, the Qiankun Cave Heaven surged. With a rumble, a vast killing array emerged.

Keng!

The sound of a dragon's roar shook the mountains and rivers, reverberating through the clouds.

Countless array eyes bloomed with dazzling, piercing light. Ten thousand great dragons surged upwards, roaring as they charged towards the palm.

At this moment, the divine embryo little boy retreated, moving out of the range of the formation, coldly watching from the outside.

Rumble!

The palm pressed down, and the great dragons charged up. The energy colliding between the two swept out like a world-destroying torrent, engulfing the entire core area, causing the mausoleum mountains to light up with dense defensive runes. However, they were still violently shaken by the impact, with mountain rocks rumbling and falling, as if they were about to collapse.

Aow!

The transformed dragon vein howled, constantly cracking under the palm.

The impact of ten thousand dragons still couldn't stop the palm; it only slightly slowed down its speed of suppression.

"A pitiful struggle. An ant is ultimately just an ant. A ninth-realm符师 using his body as the array is this God-Slaying Killing Array. Wanting to contend against me is just a foolish dream. Unless you are a tenth-realm peak符师, but alas, you are not..."

The old man smiled coldly and eerily.
