155: Chapter 155 Strange Movements in the Burial Abyss

It was a world of difference from the cheerful, field-trip-like atmosphere of reverse-robbing on the Dragon Baby.

In another silent Star Domain, countless light-years away from the main Ancient Heavenly Court fleet, the atmosphere in the First Training Squad led by First Prince Li Changsheng was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

The Qilin Child Immortal Ship they were piloting hovered before a boundless belt of ruins.

This was a true battlefield of immortal gods.

Countless fragmented Immortal Artifacts floated like lifeless stars.

Some fragments still retained immortal Golden Immortal Laws that had not faded for billions of years; occasionally, a flash of divine light would cut a passing meteorite into dust.

There were even colossal skeletons, larger than mountains, left behind by some unknown race of ancient immortal gods.

The bones had turned into the hardest divine metal, yet they were covered in terrifying claw marks and cracks, as if they had encountered immense horror before their deaths.

"Big Brother, the aura here… is so uncomfortable."

Li Qingyue's pretty face turned pale.

Possessing the Lunar Body, she was most sensitive to death and negative energy.

On this battlefield, the thick, palpable resentment, unwillingness, and fear that had not dissipated after endless eons made her feel completely uneasy.

Beside her, Li Daoyan, with the Hongmeng Array Body markings flickering between his brows, also had his small face tightened.

He could "see" that the Laws of heaven and earth in this region were shattered, space was like a broken mirror, and time exhibited a chaotic, disordered, and twisted state; one careless step could lead to being banished into an unknown rift in time and space.

Only Li Changsheng remained indifferent.

Carrying that unremarkable wooden sword on his back, he stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze calm as he watched this tragic ancient ruin.

From a huge, broken stone tablet, he could vaguely discern a few blurry ancient immortal characters—Southern Heaven Gate...

The third line of defense.

This was once one of the outposts of the Ancient Heavenly Court to defend against unknown enemies.

"What were they… afraid of?"

Li Changsheng whispered to himself.

He could feel that the last emotion of these ancient immortal gods who fell here before they died was not the heroism of dying on the battlefield, nor was it hatred for the enemy.

Instead, it was a fear that stemmed from the instinct of life itself.

It was as if the enemy they saw was the natural predator of the very concept of life!

Li Changsheng's eyes narrowed.

He discovered that in the center of this chaotic battlefield, there existed a point that exuded eeriness.

That point was not any matter, nor was it any energy.

It was simply pure nothingness.

A piece of absolute darkness.

All starlight, all the divine radiance of the fragmented Immortal Artifacts, and even all the resentment of the immortal gods would be pulled and twisted by an invisible force when approaching the area near that point, eventually being swallowed and disappearing.

It was as if the entire Universe had been punctured with a hole that could not heal.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Li Changsheng did not hesitate; he piloted the Qilin Child, carefully avoiding the chaotic turbulence of Laws, and sailed toward that absolute darkness.

As the distance closed, the sense of terror that made one's Divine Soul tremble became even more intense.

That was no longer darkness in the visual sense.

But a kind of…

Ultimate nothingness where even the concept of existence itself would be swallowed and dissolved.

The Qilin Child hovered at the edge of the dark region.

Li Qingyue and Li Daoyan already needed to exert their full Origin power to resist the pulling sensation coming from the depths of their Souls.

Only then did they see the full picture of that darkness.

It was not a point at all.

But a bottomless, huge abyss stretching across the chest of the Universe!

It was too vast; the immortal ship was not even a speck of dust before it.

It just lay there, like a terrifying chasm dividing the Universe into the two ends of life and death.

At the edge of the abyss, countless torn-apart world remains and countless huge stars were being slowly dragged in by its terrifying gravity, then, like a clay ox entering the sea, they disappeared without a sound.

There were even skeletons of creatures so huge they were unimaginable, shaped like Dragons and Immortal Phoenixes, which seemed to be silently wailing at the final moment of being dragged into the abyss.

"Heaven… Burial… Abyss…"

Li Changsheng's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty; the information he had obtained from that stone tablet allowed him to utter this forbidden name.

According to legend, it was the ultimate forbidden zone that buried the Ancient Heavenly Court and buried an entire era!

But just as the Heavenly Court princes' minds were swayed by this cosmic wonder.

In the deepest part of the Heaven Burial Abyss, which was so deep that even light could not escape…

Something moved.

The next second.

An eye.

An eye whose vastness could not be described by any unit of measurement slowly…

Opened.

"!!!!!"

The moment they saw that eye, whether it was Li Changsheng with his firm Dao Heart, the noble Lunar Fairy Li Qingyue, or Li Daoyan with his Hongmeng Array Body, their Divine Souls seemed to be frozen!

What kind of eye was that?

The whites of the eye were a more pure Chaos nothingness than the abyss itself.

The pupil was an eternal extinction sufficient to make even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal's Dao Heart collapse!

It just opened like that.

It revealed no emotion, emitted no pressure, as if it were just a creature that had slept for billions of eras, waking up unconsciously.

Its gaze swept past.

Sweeping over the swallowed world remains, over the skeletons of those giant beasts, and finally…

Falling upon the ant-like Qilin Child at the edge of the Heaven Burial Abyss.

Falling upon those little ones on the immortal ship who were radiating an alluring aura of life.

"Hum—!"

Just being gazed at by that look!

Li Changsheng felt that his supreme sword heart, which he had cultivated for many years, had developed countless cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment!

The phantom of the Lunar bright moon behind Li Qingyue let out a mournful cry, its light rapidly dimming, almost extinguished!

Li Daoyan even groaned, a trace of golden blood spilling from the corner of his mouth; he felt that his connection with the heaven and earth array markings had been forcibly severed!

All the protective Magic Treasures and all the Great Dao divine lights on them lost their effect!

A fear stemming from the very essence of life gripped their throats, making them unable to breathe, unable to think, and without even the strength to move a finger!

They were not some naturally gifted emperor-to-be, nor were they some Sword Dao Dominator or Lunar Fairy.

They were just three pitiful, weak…

Ants!

Just at the moment when their Divine Souls were about to be crushed by the gaze and their consciousness about to sink.

In Li Changsheng's bosom, a life-saving jade talisman, refined by Li Xuan himself and which had always lacked presence, erupted with a warm, gentle light.

"Hmph."

A cold snort seemed to span across endless time and space, ringing out in the silent Star Domain!

Then!

An emperor figure, draped in Chaos and stepping on nothingness, whose specific face could not be seen but who radiated a vast power that made this broken Universe tremble, descended out of thin air!

Like an eternal, immortal divine mountain, he protected his three offspring behind him, blocking that terrifying gaze that was enough to crush the heavens!

It was precisely a Dharma body projection that Li Xuan had left in the jade talisman!

Li Xuan's projection looked up, a pair of equally deep eyes, containing the birth and death of thousands of Universes, staring fearlessly at that giant eye in the depths of the Heaven Burial Abyss!

"Boom!!!"

The two gazes met in the Void Realm, making no sound, yet causing the entire ancient ruin belt to tremble crazily, and countless Immortal Artifact fragments and countless immortal god skeletons silently turned into the most primitive particle streams!

A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of Li Xuan's projection.

His domineering voice turned into a tangible Great Dao divine sound, fiercely blasting into the abyss!

"Are my offspring something you can spy on?"

Seemingly not expecting to encounter a tough opponent here, for the first time, a slight fluctuation appeared in that giant eye, like a trace of surprise?

It took another deep look at Li Xuan's projection, as if it wanted to remember this aura that dared to provoke it forever.

Then, that giant eye covering the Universe slowly…

Closed.

Boundless darkness once again shrouded everything.

The terrifying pressure that was enough to make gods suffocate also receded like a tide.

"Hoo… hoo… hoo…"

Only at this moment did the three Li Changsheng siblings regain control of their bodies; they immediately lost their strength, collapsing on the deck, gasping for breath, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.

They looked at each other, seeing lingering fear and shock in each other's eyes.

Just now…

They really thought they were going to die.

"Father Emperor!"

Li Qingyue, with a crying tone, threw herself at that towering figure.

Li Xuan's projection turned, rubbing his daughter's hair; the killing intent in his eyes dissipated, replaced by lingering fear and solemnity.

He also did not expect that by letting his children come out for training, he would directly poke his way in front of such a forbidden existence.

At this moment, his gaze was suddenly attracted by a wisp of residual black Qi.

That was a trace of power that had escaped from that giant eye when the two gazes collided just now.

Li Xuan's projection reached out and took that wisp of black Qi into his palm.

This black Qi looked ordinary, but when Li Xuan analyzed its essence with great magic power, his expression became exceptionally solemn.

"This is not a simple Law of darkness…"

His projection whispered to himself, his voice filled with uncertainty.

"Inside this… there are countless broken true spirit fragments, twisted Karma, and… a degenerate Law that is similar to Reincarnation but diametrically opposite…"

His gaze was cast once again toward the now-silent Heaven Burial Abyss.

"I understand…"

"The true Underworld has long been shattered, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation have collapsed… and this Heaven Burial Abyss has replaced the function of the Underworld, becoming the final destination for all fallen beings in this broken Immortal Realm. A fake netherworld that only takes in and never lets out, only knows how to devour and not how to provide Reincarnation!"

This discovery cast a shadow over Li Xuan's heart.

He had originally thought that his enemies were those Immortal Kings of the Central Immortal Realm.

But now it seemed that those Immortal Kings were probably just pathetic wretches shivering under this terrifying shadow.

The existence in this Heaven Burial Abyss was the true ultimate chess player hidden behind the scenes in this great game!

"This place cannot be stayed in for long."

Li Xuan's projection did not hesitate any longer, waving his large sleeve, he swept up the three children, who were still suffering from lingering fear, along with the Qilin Child Immortal Ship, tore through the Void Realm, and disappeared.

When they appeared again, they were already above the main Ancient Heavenly Court fleet.

And at the same time.

Inside the main hall of the heavenly emperor.

Li Xuan's true body opened its eyes.

His gaze pierced through endless time and space, staring fixedly at the direction of the Heaven Burial Abyss, his face terrifyingly gloomy.

He reached out and gestured from afar.

In the bedchamber, the Sixth Prince—naturally born with the Reincarnation Body, Li Daolunhui—who was fast asleep, was lifted by a gentle force and flew before him.

Looking at this child of his who was born with the ability to control Reincarnation.

He finally understood what the birth of this son really meant.

And he finally understood what his future path as the heavenly emperor would be.

Conquer the Immortal Realm?

Unify the myriad worlds?

No.

That scale was too small.

His true enemy was that… which had swallowed the eternal Reincarnation and wanted to drag the entire Universe into eternal silence…

terrifying existence.
