561: All That is Left of You Will Only Be Your Bones

All That is Left of You Will Only Be Your Bones

0He walked into the City of Nature through the giant's head. The giant's mouth was already petrified into stones, but he could still feel the presence of spiritual energy in it.

The whole place even the divine weapons and divine golds were sucked clear of spiritual energy, yet the city gate was still filled with spiritual energy. This city might just be the cause of all the strangeness in this continent.

"Danger, don't enter. Run!", A line of bloodly sentence was left on one of the sharp teeth, they were written by blood.

There were many skeletons laying on the ground underneath the city gate. These would be the Qi Practitioners that have found this place and written down warnings for the other comers.

No, these skeletons didn't die escaping away from the city, they died while trying to enter the city.

Zhong Yue looked at the skeletons and thought, These words don't feel like to be written by those that escaped from the city. But more like these Qi Practitioners were trying to enter the city during the imminent danger, and somehow found something that made them left the warnings down.

He walked into the city and found some words on a piece of the city wall covered by the green vines. He pulled down the green vines and looked at the words.

These words… they are written by a god's blood!

Zhong Yue's scalps tingeled. The words looked at though they were just written down moments ago, the bloods were still moving around the linings of the words. The words have unfolded a piece of history that was lost in the passing of time.

The celestial emperor heard that there was an ancient mining site discovered underneath this continent and that this place always have many bizarre things happening around. Thus, an expedition team was formed to scout it out.

When the gods reached to the front of this city, they have discovered that this city was built at least thirty-six thousand years ago. They were all overjoyed and quickly passed their findings to the celestial emperor.

Celestial emperor? 36,000 years ago?, Zhong Yue mumbled. He was startled by the word 'celestial emperor'. Could it be… Bi Xie Celestial Emperor from 50,000 years ago?

This city was built 86,000 years ago? It belongs to the time after the great changes in the universe? It was built during the time where all histories are covered, hidden and lost?

Zhong Yue's heart shuddered greatly. The history of Ancestral Star was completely blank during the period between 50,000 years ago to 100,000 years ago. During that period of lost history, there were the gods, there were the civilizations, but there just weren't any records about it left behind. It was only until Bi Xie Celestial Emperor has came from the Zi Wei Galaxy to the Ancestral Star, then only there were the records of history happening ever since.

Thus, to the Qi Practitioners in the Ancestral Star, what happened during that period of 50,000 years was totally unknown!

Hence, the Ancestral Star Qi Practitioners have known that period of time as the "Dark Age".

In order to continue his research in the sixth wheel, sixth secret realm, Feng Xiaozhong has even went on to search for the tombs of the gods that originates from that era!

However, Zhong Yue knew that period of time was an age of chaos that comes right after the destroyal of the Six Paths Reincarnation in this Six Paths World. Which was also the period of time where the Fuxi Celestial Race changes toward the human race.

A glorious sovereign race that has fallen from the summit of the power pyramid to the most humble status they were in now. It all happened during that period of time, during the Dark Age!

He continued reading the words. It says that the gods under Bi Xie Celestial Emperor have discovered that the city was closely related to a huge secret. Inside of the city, they have found many tombs of the ancient gods and discovered many ancient secrets.

With the number of tombs they have explored growing larger in number, the occurrences of strange events grew more frequent as well. There were the gods that died mysteriously in all sorts of ways, and a peculiar wave of energy that ambushed them. The energy was strong and powerful, yet mysterious in origins.

But the celestial emperor has gave his order, none shall ever turn back.

Hence, the more they stray around in this ancient city, the more secrets they have found, and more gods have died in here.

Finally, they have reached to the core of the City of Nature. There, they saw something soul-terrifying and it was at that moment, they knew everything they needed on this ancient city.

A disaster fell upon the continent and they tried to escape. Many gods died on the spot and along the way. They were the last survivors and were able to made it to here. But even so, they found themselves out of ways to escape.

The last sentence written on the wall was, "Once you enter this gate, there will be no turning back. And when the Disaster arrives, all that is left of you will only be your bones."

Zhong Yue startled, he mumbled puzzlingly, "No turning back? You can't get out?"

His heart suddenly twitched and he quickly looked back at the city gate. Unfortunately, the gods were right, the city gate has been closed tight and there was no way out anymore!

Zhong Yue stomped his feet and flew up into the sky. But no matter how high he flies, the city wall would grow as tall as him. It was impossible for him to fly out from above the city wall!

Cold sweat burst out from his forehead and he landed down on the ground. He has never noticed when did the city gate closed. For such a huge city gate to close itself, it would definitely cause a loud activity which Zhong Yue could never be able to miss out in his senses!

With that being said, there was only possibility left.

From the outside, the city gate is open but when you are in here, the city gate is closed! The only reasonable explanation is that this city, was in fact, a huge seal that one can only enters and can't exit!

Zhong Yue clenched on the green vines around the city wall and pulled them out from the ground. The earth tumbled up and a huge skull was revealed to be buried beneath.

He pulled harder and more of the vines were uprooted. Soon, the skulls and skeletons of the dead gods could be seen buried right underneath in here!

Zhong Yue's heart throbbed heavily. The road to return was cutted off and the gods that have been here were also dead, there were no known survivors that have left this place at all!

"And when the Disaster arrives, all that is left of you will only be your bones…", Zhong Yue calmed himself down but his scalps couldn't stop tingling. If even Bi Xie Celestial Emperor's subordinate gods couldn't have survive it, how could he?

"Xin Huo, do you have any confidence in leaving this place?", Zhong Yue asked.

Xin Huo flew out from his psyche ocean and looked around, he said, "Breaking through that gate is impossible. The city gate is made from the son of an innate god, your prowess is not strong enough to do anything now. You will first have to find out its core and proceed later in breaking the seal, which you are still too weak to do so."

"Then, I guess the only choice is to continue exploring and find a way to leave!", Zhong Yue heaved a long breath. He glanced around at the city wall in hope to find anymore useful tips. But other than the words he had read, there weren't anything around anymore.

Then, Zhong Yue dug out the gods' skeletons and inspected them. Yet once again, his efforts were laid in vain.

What's so terrifying that even the gods can't escape from it?

He raised his head and looked further away. There was a mysterious force around that shrouded the city in mists. Rendered with no choice, Zhong Yue strode forward in great cautious, searching his way to the core that the gods have talked about.

A cold breeze blew over and Zhong Yue could faintly hear someone whispering in his ears. It sounded as though the gods were still alive and were discussing about the city. Not only that, Zhong Yue could still smell the blood in the breeze.

All of a sudden, the cold breeze grew stronger and the whisperings in the winds turned louder. In just seconds, it sounded as if there were gods shouting and roaring in a battle.

The cold breeze turned into a gale and ravaged every corner in the city. Zhong Yue struggled to stand still and maintain his balance. While the voices grew even louder in his ears, thumping on his ear drums.

Then, the gale stopped, but the voices remained loud still. Zhong Yue opened his eyes and was stunned to see himself not in the city anymore, but a large battlefield!

"This is…"

There were gods around the places engaging in the battles. There were giant gods with axes, bird looking gods that winged across the sky, gods with dragons around them and many others!

All kind of gods were fighting, lashing their skills and wielding the divine weapons all over the places. Zhong Yue was like a piece of leaf caught in the middle of a storming sea, he could die in an instant any second now!

"Fake, it must all be fake!", Zhong Yue was just thinking about it and felt a skill lashing toward him. Without any hesitation, he has visualized the [Shao Hao Bell]. Immediately, as the [Shao Hao Bell] was visualized, the incoming skill has broke through it like a piece of tofu and struck right on Zhong Yue!

Zhong Yue's mortal body shattered into pieces for a second and returned back to normal, but his face turned pallid and was spurting out blood.

"Not fake?", Zhong Yue was terrified. Did the cold gale really did blew him away from the City of Nature out to the middle of this weird battlefield?

"Rebels!", laughters came from the sky and a huge face appeared in the clouds. It was laughing, "How dare you rebels still fighting, not giving up yet? Now the time of the old era has ended, it is time for the new ruler to rise! Kill them, kill them all with their old era!"

Immediately, the battle turned even more intense. Decapitated heads and bodies piled up on the ground and godly bloods rained down with the severed limbs.

Zhong Yue was evading the skills lashed in the battlefield and caught the glimpse of a familiar silhouette, "Mother Da Zhen? She is also blew to this place by the cold gale?"

Mother Da Zhen was heavily wounded, she has turned into the mother insect form and was fighting back against the godly skills and divine weapons.

"Zhong Shan Clan member!", Mother Da Zhen noticed him as well. Her face was filled with with anger and seconds later, she suddenly chortled happily, "You are also in here? Good, very good! Brat, die along with me here!"

Zhong Yue's eyes were brimmed with killing intent, just as he was heading over to try and kill her. Thunders rumbled in the sky and a Xiang Dragon beast god crashed from the sky down to his side.

The Xiang Dragon beast god was a hundred thousand feet tall, having strong muscles all over his body that could deliver powerful burst of strength. After he was punched down by a stronger opponent and fell down from the sky, he was coughing out blood unceasingly.

The Xiang Dragon beast god suddenly noticed Zhong Yue who was standing beside him and startled for a split second, "Just a petty Qi Practitioners and yet you dare to come and intervene in such a godly battle? Get away from here!"

The Xiang Dragon beast god swung his tail and hit on Zhong Yue, crushing Zhong Yue's mortal body away and shot him out at a great speed.

The Xiang Dragon beast god leaped up and stone tablets emerged around him, blood seeped out from the tablets and glimmered up the totem patterns on them.

"Seven Slaughtering Arrays!"

The Xiang Dragon beast god rushed into the clouds with the Seven Slaughtering Arrays around him. While a flash of saber ray slashed down from the clouds, the Xiang Dragon beast god was decapitated and his remains fell into the mountains, following with the stone tablets on the back.

Zhong Yue was recovering from the wounds, he could tell that his mortal body and Yuan Shen were both struck hard. Zhong Yue was coughing blood out from his mouth when he saw the Xiang Dragon beast god's remains fall into the mountains.

His face stiffened up and he was stunned still.

"Impossible…"

The cold gale blew over and curled everyone along with it. The shoutings and hollerings around Zhong Yue turned softer and eventually turned back into the whispers he had heard before.

The gale turned into breeze and when the breeze stopped, Zhong Yue was returned in the City of Nature again.

"Impossible, that is impossible…", Zhong Yue was still stunned, he murmured in a quivering voice, "Xin Huo, doesn't that Xiang Dragon beast god looked familiar…"
