Chapter 2332 Right or Wrong
A terrible pulling force existed deep within the planet’s core. It had the effect of thousands of ropes wrapping around Zhang Ruochen. He was falling at an alarming rate, completely out of control.
He lost his vision, and he couldn’t see anything
He couldn’t hear anything either.
Zhang Ruochen could only feel a strong sense of weightlessness. He was like a mortal falling off a cliff in the dark.
Whoosh
The Divine Purification Flame surged out of his palm. It gave off a dazzling white light and illuminated the darkness.
As Zhang Ruochen descended, he looked around. The scene in his eyes wasn’t a dark catacomb at all. It was a vast expanse with brilliant colors but no end.
‘Has the space been pulled out of shape and become infinitely vast? Or has my body become infinitely small under the pressure of space?’ Zhang Ruochen wondered.
Zhang Ruochen sensed that the precepts of heaven and earth around him, especially the Precepts of Dimension, had become completely different from the outside world.
Lord Sinluo’s body had been penetrated by the Ghost-headed Whip, but he did not die.
The Ghost Rune on the whip gave off a faint light, nibbling away at his spirit and entering an unconscious state.
Above Zhang Ruochen, Pan Ruo’s graceful and delicate body was wrapped by the Nether River and caught up with Zhang Ruochen. Her figure merged with the surrounding environment. It was quiet and beautiful.
The Gate of Destiny behind the statue of Fukurokuju became dark. Nothing could be seen anymore. “The interior of the Dark Star is filled with the three Precepts of Darkness, Time, and Dimension. The three powers have evolved to the extreme. It’s hard for Destiny to predict what’s going on inside.” said the statue of Fukurokuju.
The so-called difficult to predict was not impossible to predict. The Fane of Destiny was too far away from the Battlefield of Celestial- Hunting, so it was difficult for the gods to investigate. In addition to the influence of the Dark Star’s power, it was already amazing that Fukurokuju could show the images on the surface of the Dark Star.
If they were closer, it would be another case.
This was the influence of Dimension on the Power of Destiny!
The farther away it was, the harder it was to touch the Power of Destiny.
“Reverend, the structure of the Dark Star is strong. How could there be a catacomb that leads to the depths of the planet’s core? This kind of catacomb can’t be formed naturally, right?” The Divine Shadow of Blood Empress appeared in the fane and asked.
Fukurokuju said, “To cultivators below divinity, although the Dark Star is dangerous, it is a precious place for bitter cultivation. It can temper oneself, breakthrough bottlenecks, and achieve great breakthroughs. “However, there are too many uncertain factors in the power of the Dark Star. Even if they are well prepared and bring a large number of resources into the star, most of them will end up dead.
“The Battle of Celestial-Hunting is not just a game of hunting Celestial Captives, nor is it just a battle between the ten races. On the battlefield, countless opportunities have been prepared for the most outstanding talents in the Infernal Court. I hope they can use this opportunity to grow quickly.
“Our home planet has great opportunities, and the Dark Star also has infinite possibilities.
“Of course, opportunities and dangers coexist. Whether they live or die, whether they are trapped in the shallow shoals, or whether they are dancing in the sky, depends on their own fates.
“Those with strong destinies can live. Otherwise, they will die.
“Those with strong destinies can break through the barriers and go against the trend. Otherwise, they will be in danger. “Apart from destiny, the will and choices of the cultivator are sometimes more important.
“Immortal Blue Marrow, a Supreme Saint of the Stone Clan, existed three thousand years ago. To overcome the tribulation of Banshi Isshou Realm, he broke through the Gate of the Paramount Realm and came to the third Dark Star. He spent two hundred years opening a path to the interior of the star, which is the dark catacombs that you see now.
“It’s a pity that after 3,000 years, he still couldn’t come out of the Dark Star.”
‘A Supreme Saint of the Banshi Isshou Realm couldn’t even come out of the Dark Star, but Zhang Ruochen had just entered the Hundred-Shackle Realm. Wasn’t it even more dangerous for Zhang Ruochen?’ Blood Empress thought.
Blood Empress was not in despair. Zhang Ruochen was the Master of Time and Space and she believed that he might have a chance of survival.
Ghost Lord’s laughter sounded in the Fane of Destiny, “I have to say, Wargod Bloodximius, your grandson is indeed very powerful. Although the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill is lacking, he was able to severely injure Wujiang. It can be said that he has walked out of his own unique path. If he doesn’t die, his future achievements will be limitless. Pity.”
The gods present could obviously hear Ghost Lord was gloating
Wargod Bloodximius didn’t waste any more words with Ghost Lord. He remained silent.
There was no way to enter the third Dark Star to save people during the Battle of Celestial-Hunting.
However, the Battle of Celestial-Hunting only lasted for 100 days. It wouldn’t be too late to bring Zhang Ruochen back after all this was over.
The most frightening thing was that time flowed too fast inside the Dark Star. Before the Battle of Celestial-Hunting was over, Zhang Ruochen would have already died of old age.
Amane and Luo Yan stood in the Divine Realm and pondered for a long time.
After a while, Luo Yan said, “Zhang Ruochen is indeed a rare talent in this Yuanhui period. He demonstrated not only a powerful and unique Grade Two Saintwill but also his extraordinary will in the battle with Wujiang. With such a will, he should be able to overcome the bumpy road to divinity.”
“If he can come out of the Dark Star alive, Wujiang will no longer be his opponent,” said Amane.
Amane seemed to have a lot of faith in Zhang Ruochen. She was full of hope. Her tone was neither repulsive nor hostile. There was only a vague sense of anticipation and vision.
Inside the Dark Star.
The distance between Zhang Ruochen and Pan Ruo was getting closer and closer. They kept looking at each other.
There was no emotion or hostility in their eyes, but it was very complicated. It was full of things that even gods could not understand.
“Why did you come down?”
Zhang Ruochen used his spiritual power to transmit his voice to her.
Pan Ruo said, “The inside of the Dark Star is more mysterious than God’s body. Even a Reverend could not find out what happened inside. I came in to tell you that you are not in a good condition.”
“You don’t have to tell me. I know my condition very well,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Pan Ruo said, “Your progenitor’s bloodline has been awakened. The natural instinct of the Immortal Vampires will become stronger and stronger.
“For example, blood consumption.
“You don’t want to drink blood. You’re using your own will to fight against the instinct of the progenitor’s bloodline. It’s very dangerous. You might lose yourself or have a mental breakdown. I can help you.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at her for a long time and said, “I’ve experienced too many ups and downs. People are different. My will isn’t that weak. You shouldn’t be here. You should return to the surface!”
Confusion and bitterness flashed in Pan Ruo’s eyes. She sighed and then said, “I’ve already come down. How can I return so easily?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t say anything more. He closed his eyes and mobilized his spiritual power to try to suppress the bloodthirsty thoughts in his heart. He saw all of this as a test of his own will.
If he could not resist the instinct of the progenitor’s bloodline and chose to obey, then he would never be able to surpass the Progenitor.
After an unknown period, the pulling power in his body gradually disappeared. Zhang Ruochen, Pan Ruo, and Lord Sinluo stopped falling. Their bodies floated in the void space.
‘How can this be? The pulling power has disappeared?’ Zhang Ruochen was puzzled.
Pan Ruo said, “We must have reached the center of the Dark Star. Cherish the peace now. I believe that danger will come soon.” “It is indeed very peaceful. This seems to be the most peaceful place in the world,” said Zhang Ruochen. He did not panic or feel uneasy. On the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling now.
The bloodthirsty thought slowly disappeared.
Pan Ruo stared at him, “You’re in denial. You should understand that there will always be fights as long as there are people. What we need to do is to face and fight, not to seek a moment of peace.”
Zhang Ruochen did not want to argue with her, so he chose to remain silent.
The two had been together before, and there were times when they had feelings for each other. However, their idealism was different, so they eventually parted ways. Zhang Ruochen thought a lot about her after he calmed down.
Perhaps there was no right or wrong between them.
They just made different choices.
At that time, they were too weak. They could only choose and couldn’t create their own results.
They didn’t have many options. They had the option of going left or right. They would perish if they turned left or right. However, they would die in different ways. “If you want to defeat Wujiang, or even the Lan Ying and Que, you have to find the Dark Space-Time Matter. Since we’re at the center of the Dark Star, we shouldn’t be far from the Dark Space-Time Matter,” Pan Ruo said.
Zhang Ruochen put away his thoughts and released his spiritual power and The Spatial Domain to explore the surroundings. “Hey! That’s…” said Zhang Ruochen. Zhang Ruochen showed a strange expression and looked in one direction.
Here, his spiritual power was severely suppressed.
However, Zhang Ruochen’s perception of space became extremely sharp. In this boundless world, he found strange substances.
He threw Lord Sinluo into the Violet Gourd and flew over on his ten wings.
There seemed to be no concept of time and space here. Zhang Ruochen did not know how long he flew and how far he flew. Finally, he arrived near a sapphire that was more than 10 meters tall.
The surface of the sapphire was smooth, crystal clear, and had an ancient aura.
Inside the sapphire, there were wisps of floccule-like substances.
Some of these substances resembled human hair, others arms, and still others eyeballs… all were distorted and deformed. They appeared to be particularly terrifying. Pan Ruo flew nearby and saw the huge sapphire. Her eyes became more and more unsightly. “This shouldn’t be a Dark Time-Space Matter, right?” said Pan Ruo.
Zhang Ruochen walked to the sapphire and pressed his palm on it. Instantly, a bone-chilling aura spread out. His hand was stuck to the sapphire and couldn’t be separated.
Zhang Ruochen quickly activated the Precept of Dimension and shot it out from his palm. It turned into a spatial shock wave and separated from the sapphire.
Pan Ruo said, “It’s not a Dark Space-time Matter, but a Blue Marrow Star.”
“Blue Marrow Star?” Zhang Ruochen asked curiously.
Zhang Ruochen knew that blue marrow was a rare material to refine a Regal Artifact.
However, it was only a refining material. How could it have the powerful power to attract him?
Moreover, it was only such a big piece. How could it be called a Blue Marrow Star?
Pan Ruo said, “It is indeed a Blue Marrow Star. Its main body is more than 10,000 miles long. It also gave birth to spiritual wisdom and embarked on the path of cultivation. It cultivated the Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Sainthood. In the Stone Clan, it was called the Immortal Blue Marrow. However, Immortal Blue Marrow vanished in the Infernal Court three thousand years ago. I didn’t expect him to die here.
“However, the aura emitted by this stone is quite ancient. It’s more than three Yuanhui periods. It couldn’t possibly be the Immortal Blue Marrow from three thousand years ago? Unless… “
Zhang Ruochen thought of a possibility, and his face changed again and again.
3,000 years in the outside world. It might have been 300,000 or 3,000,000 years here.
What was the change in the flow of time? Zhang Ruochen immediately released the Saint Phase of Time and adjusted the Precepts of Time to make a detailed calculation. “This isn’t right. Why is the flow of time calculated like this?” Zhang Ruochen felt incredible.
Therefore, he found that the time flow here was very slow. Even if 1,000 years had passed, it would only be one year in the outside world. If that was the case, the interior of the Dark Star was an excellent place for cultivating. Cultivating here could quickly increase one’s cultivation, which was even more powerful than using the Sundial, as long as one brought enough Godstones, pills, and meditation diagrams.
But it didn’t make any sense.
If it were really that simple, the gods of the Infernal Court would have long used the Dark Star to nurture their juniors.
“There must be a big problem with the space. If it really is the Immortal Blue Marrow, its original body is more than 10,000 miles long, but now it’s more than 10 meters tall. Then it must have been severely compressed by the space. Even with his cultivation of the Banshi Isshou Realm, he couldn’t resist it. In the end, he was crushed into a stone.”
Zhang Ruochen whipped out the Ghost-headed Whip and wrapped the sapphire seven times to confirm his guess.
“Rise!”
Zhang Ruochen mobilized all his strength but could not shake the sapphire. He calculated in his heart that its weight was more than a thousand times heavier than an ordinary star.
It was very likely that it was really a Blue Marrow Star.
Pan Ruo said, “It’s very dangerous here. We have to leave immediately. If we also suffer from space compression, we may turn into a speck of dust. If the Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint can’t resist it, we certainly can’t resist it.”
“It’s too late!” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes stared down.
He saw the dense Precepts of Dimension turn into a tidal storm and surge up from the bottom.
The invisible and colorless Precepts of Dimension turned into seven colors here.
“Get in the gourd!” Zhang Ruochen shouted.
Zhang Ruochen flew into the Violet Gourd first. Pan Ruo followed closely behind and rushed in.
The seven-colored tidal storm of Precepts of Dimension swept the Violet Gourd inside. In an instant, the one-foot-tall gourd was compressed by the space and became smaller. It was the size of a fist, then the size of a green
bean.
Finally, it turned into a purple-gold speck of dust that sparkled.
Entering the gourd, Zhang Ruochen landed on the Golden Sun of Destruction. He used all his Saint Qi to activate the Supreme Inscriptions.
He looked up and saw that the internal space of the gourd, which was the size of a planet, was constantly compressed. The sky was getting shorter and the world was getting smaller.
“What do you need me to do?” asked Pan Ruo.
“Don’t do anything. You have nothing to do here,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Just as he finished speaking, Zhang Ruochen suddenly thought of something. He pointed at the purple icy rock that was rotating with the Golden Sun of Destruction and said, “Go and activate the power of the Cosmic Glazier Stone.”
Pan Ruo flew onto the Cosmic Glazier Stone and sat down cross-legged. The Nether River that had been circling her body swooped down and wrapped around the giant purple rock.
The internal space of the gourd continued to shrink.
Even the Golden Sun of Destruction and the Cosmic Glazier Stone were compressed and shrunk more than ten times.
Zhang Ruochen and Pan Ruo felt a huge pressure. Their lives were threatened. They might follow in the footsteps of Immortal Blue Marrow.
Swoosh
As the Supreme Inscription and rays of golden light and purple light soared into the sky, they supported the internal space. Gradually, they resisted the pressure from all directions.
The internal space of the Violet Gourd was stabilized at about 50 meters in diameter.
It was very narrow.
Zhang Ruochen and Pan Ruo were both relieved. They could not help but look at each other. When their eyes met, time seemed to freeze.
Zhang Ruochen took the lead to look away with an indifferent expression, he said, “The Power of Dimension is not the most terrifying. With the Violet Gourd, we can resist it. However, once the Power of Time and Darkness burst out, it is likely to swallow us.”
With that, the narrow space of the gourd became quiet.
After a while, Zhang Ruochen said again, “I have always wanted to ask you a question.”
“You want to ask me what I saw in the Destiny Pool? Last time, at the Vastsea Manor, you wanted to ask!” said Pan Ruo.
Pan Ruo’s eyes were gloomy. Finally, she closed her eyes and smiled bitterly, she said, “You should know that for someone like me, even my memory is a flaw since I came to the Infernal Court. Many of my memories have been erased by myself. I remember you because I can’t erase them.
“Maybe you’re asking the wrong person.
“You’re no longer the Ninth Prince of Yunwu Commandery, and I’m no longer the Princess of Qianshui Commandery. In fact, Princess Yanchen really liked the Ninth Prince, not the Crown Prince of Shengming, nor the Scion of the Xue Jue Family. The Crown Prince of Shengming had brought her nothing but pain. He had personally sent her to Chi Yao’s side. It was he who had forcibly transferred their grudges onto her. Maybe he didn’t mean it and didn’t want to hurt her, but he couldn’t change the final result.
“The people in the past are gone, but the water is still cold today.
“Let bygones be bygones! If you don’t want to remember, then I don’t want to remember too. You didn’t do anything wrong, and I don’t think I did anything wrong. I only have the will and unwillingness to choose and not to choose. Right or wrong, it’s not important anymore!”
