Chapter 1732 - Return to the Eight Regions
Huang went inside, disappeared behind that dao gate just like that!
It was extremely noisy on the ground, everyone discussing amongst themselves, extremely chaotic.
There really was an ancient path! Everyone was shocked, also in doubt. At the final moments, Huang was still so heaven-defying, finding a mysterious path.
There were people who released blazing radiance from their eyes, staring at the great rivers in the sky, at that gate. Even now, it still didn’t close.
The Great Yin River surged, black mist raging, as if it was a path into a realm of devils. The Great Yang River overflowed, golden yang essence erupting, dazzling and holy, burning the skies until the heavens itself were going to melt.
“I previously heard that the lower realms’ eight regions are extremely mysterious, many of the Vicious Ten previously entering and leaving that place, that it contains tremendous secrets!”
“Correct, there have always been rumors that the eight regions hide heaven shocking things.”
There were some whose eyes began to burn with desire, staring at that gate.
“This chance is rare. Is there anyone who wishes to take this path and take a look around the lower realms?!” Suddenly, someone said quietly.
There were many people who became restless. They thought about some rumors, wishing to use this chance to enter the lower realms. It was because they suspected that the reason why Huang wanted to go down from the Nine Heavens, in a hurry to return to the lower realms, was precisely because he had some objective.
Otherwise, that place was so desolate. With his heaven warping talent, why would he confine himself?
In their opinion, the reason why Huang was able to rise up, obtain his current accomplishments, was likely because he obtained something in the lower realms, that this place had extremely terrifying secrets.
Of course, this was only what some people suspected, which was why they wanted to take the risk and enter the lower realms.
Meanwhile, when some great sects’ higher levels had these thoughts, things became even simpler. They directly brought out some disciples that were loyal to their sect, had them go through.
Regardless of whether they obtained anything, there shouldn’t be any harm to the sect if they made a trip through the lower realms.
In the end, a group of youngsters and some older generation big names rushed into the sky. They left their fears behind, rushing towards the point where great yin and great yang intersected. There was primal chaos here, as well as a gate, faintly discernible, still hasn’t disappeared.
Ah…
However, when a miserable scream sounded, everyone’s hearts were immediately stirred.
Then, everyone felt chills run down their entire body, a wave of biting coldness made everyone’s expressions change, becoming completely horrified.
Some people’s faces became pale white. When they saw the scene ahead, they couldn’t help but scream out.
Just now, a group of people tried to outdo each other, scared that they might be left behind, rushing forward as fast as they could. As a result, several dozen rushed in at the same time.
However, only one person released a miserable scream, the others didn’t even have the chance to utter a groan before they died.
Everyone saw that after those people entered, their bodies directly exploded, turning into bloody mist, not even bones remaining, body and spirit eradicated.
This wasn’t one or two people, but rather an entire group. Several dozen experts died miserably, only some bloody mist left. They were completely destroyed.
Behind them were over a hundred people, all of them scared to the point where they were shuddering, coming to a rigid halt. Then, they quickly backed up, this scene was too terrifying, leaving them with great fear.
“Why is it like this?” A few people cried out, full of confusion.
Not long ago, everyone saw Huang calmly walk through, leaving in such an easygoing manner, no emotions revealed at all. Yet when it was them who did the same, a group of people were wiped out!
Chi!
On the ground, a sect master activated a magical artifact, wishing to test just how terrifying that gate was.
Kacha!
Sure enough, his magical artifact broke apart the moment it flew inside, crushed into powder. A powerful precious artifact was destroyed just like that.
This place was completely silent. This time, everyone felt fear, uneasiness, all of them couldn’t help but back up.
As for the skies, those who were about to rush inside were shaking, their faces white as snow. They all turned around and ran. This was too terrifying.
For them, that gate seemed to lead straight into hell, about to devour their souls. It wasn’t something they could approach!
There were some who didn’t believe in the supernatural, using all types of methods, but they all failed.
This time, they all became quiet. Just how powerful was Huang exactly? Just now, under everyone’s eyes, he calmly entered, not affected in the slightest.
In the end, when it was their turn, all who rashly went in died miserably!
This type of difference was too great!
Under rumbling sounds, the two rivers surged. The primal chaos mist disappeared, that gate also completely vanishing.
That wasn’t all. The two rivers and the ruins also became indistinct, in the end vanishing.
Forget about entering the gate, even making them appear wasn’t something they could do.
Everyone understood. They had no fate with this path, unable to go through at all. It belonged only to Huang, only he could face that devastating power without any fear.
In reality, several days later, Immortal Palace’s elder came. He was a supreme being as well, so in the end, he was finally able to make the Great Yin and Great Yang Rivers appear, the gate also emerging. Only, it was extremely blurry, not all that clear. He stood there for a long time, not entering.
When news of this got out, everyone knew that as expected, only Huang could take that path. Even Immortal Palace’s elder felt hesitation, fear visible in his eyes.
That path targeted the power of the challenger, only those with strength far exceeding their cultivation realm could go through.
In reality, after Shi Hao entered the path, it wasn’t as relaxed as everyone thought. However, he had entered once before, had some experience, which was why he could remain unflustered.
Even this time, it was extremely strenuous, walking forward step by step.
In the end, after just walking a set distance, blood flowed out from the corners of his lips.
Several dozen li later, that path was still extremely long, no end in sight.
The stone steps winded in the void, unknown where the path headed. Was the destination really the lower realms?
In the surroundings, everything was hazy, primal chaos surging. Roars could vaguely be made out, as if ancient beasts were roaring out.
Shi Hao listened carefully. This wasn’t a true ancient beast, but rather rumbling sounds produced by the clash of different laws, some natural laws interweaving in the distance.
His expression went sluggish, because the natural law force, for the current him, was incomprehensible. There was no way he would take the risk, he couldn’t leave this path.
As he continued forward, he saw more and more natural laws and order in the form of murderous red metal strips, interweaving in the void, extremely dazzling.
Shi Hao advanced carefully, feeling more and more like this path was special. The stone steps below his feet were extremely real, not formed from natural laws, there really was someone who paved this path.
He had a feeling of deja vu!
In the past, when he left Immortal Domain with Sanzang and Shenming, these two undead knights, looking for the path back, they somehow ended up in a Lightning Abyss, in that place was a small cobblestone path arranged in the void.
“Eight regions, a savage and bitter land, is it really a prison?” Shi Hao wiped away the blood from the corners of his lips. The pressure was now extremely great, injuring him. However, he was still thinking to himself, all types of thoughts running through his head.
Along the way, Shi Hao almost lost track of time, continuing down the path just like that.
This path led downwards, as if it really did go from the heaven’s dome down to the earth surface.
One day, two days, maybe three days passed, Shi Hao couldn’t say for sure.
On this path, his perception seemed to have lost effectiveness, time overlaying, space-time displaced. Everything was just this hard to differentiate, extremely strange.
Shi Hao’s body suffered damage. There was always a type of terrifying power here hacking at Shi Hao, suppressing him. If it was anyone else, they would have long exploded to pieces.
Shi Hao continued to persist on. Even though he coughed out blood, he still stood tall, not falling, advancing step by step.
There was a mysterious domain here that crushed against one’s body, making one feel as if they were going to burst.
Shi Hao couldn’t increase his speed even if he wanted to. Whenever he raised his feet, he would always be smashed by great stars one after another, the resistance tremendous.
Hong!
Finally, he saw a glimmer of hope. It was because after who knew how many li he had passed, how many days went by, he saw the end of the stone steps. He reached the earth.
Cough!
Shi Hao coughed out. He finally left this ancient path.
In that instant, a wave of desolate air swept over, the feeling a bit familiar. This should be the eight regions, the lower realms he had previously lived in.
“Yi, something’s not right, there are other things!”
It was because in that instant, Shi Hao’s heart began to tremble, in a bit of disbelief. He smelled a fragrance that penetrated deep into his mind, as if he was going to ascend in multicolored ascension light.
This was definitely not an ordinary great medicine. Even divine medicines were no longer that enticing for the current Self Release Realm Shi Hao, which meant that there was only one other answer: this was a long life medicine.
Shi Hao was stunned. Why would the lower realms have this type of medicine? One had to understand that in the past, raising this type of divine medicine was impossible, the spiritual essence ridiculously thin.
“But this type of fragrance, this type of medicinal effects, it can only belong to a long life medicine!”
Shi Hao was shaken. He had just returned to the lower realms, yet he already encountered this stalk of long life medicine, descended in that region?
At the limits of the road, it was extremely spacious, a great desert lacking life force. For this type of place to have medicinal fragrance really was something different.
It was at times rich, at times faint. This type of medicinal fragrance continuously changed, but it was deep and continuous.
Shi Hao quickened his pace, walking forward, crossing this great desert.
En?
Sure enough, after just crossing some hills, he saw some of the scenery ahead.
In the desert, there was a medicinal garden that was extremely ancient. Moreover, there were more hills in the distance, appearing too abruptly.
This cut off Shi Hao’s path forward.
A monument towered before him, on it a few large characters, words carved by a long life being.
“A life restricted region?” Shi Hao was stunned. His face immediately went rigid.
The lower realms had life restricted regions too?
He was a bit stunned. This was just too difficult to believe. The so-called life restricted regions should be in the Nine Heavens above, why was it in the eight regions with sparse spiritual essence.
One had to understand that this place was like a prison, who was willing to send themselves into a prison?
