Chapter 1108 - 1014: Past Like Green Smoke
“`
In the blink of an eye.
The Taoist walking from the Forbidden Ancient Path was severely wounded.
On his back, the terrifying ghostly entity that had escaped from Samsara was completely obliterated by a snap of the fingers at The End of Myriad Paths!
At this moment, the cultivators of the Nine Laws throughout the world all had a frenzied devotion gleaming in their eyes.
The End of Myriad Paths, the Nine Laws… they were faith.
While that Taoist, along with the remaining six old ghosts, had extremely unsightly expressions.
“We can’t take action anymore… We can’t clash with her directly, we must use our trump card!”
A malevolent ghost whispered.
“She can actually obliterate the power of the Samsara Ring. Even if we act together, it might not be effective. Delay could lead to change, quickly bring out that thing!”
“Yes, we must not hold back against The End of Myriad Paths!”
The other malevolent ghosts also spoke one after another.
Hearing this, the Taoist nodded solemnly.
He took a deep breath and then stood up, and suddenly, a jade box appeared in his hand.
The jade box was covered with dense, forbidden patterns—mysterious and extraordinary. Merely glancing at it once made one have the urge to close their eyes.
The jade box alone seemed to have touched upon a taboo, so much so that even the top True Ancestors of the Grey Mist Sea, if trapped inside, would meet their deaths!
The moment the jade box appeared, the part of the world where the Taoist stood seemed to have all its laws and principles suddenly vanish into oblivion. Space itself ceased to exist, and the Taoist seemed to stand in the heart of a black hole.
“What is that? A jade box, and yet it’s so terrifying?”
“What exactly is contained within it?”
Seeing this, everybody was shocked.
But the Taoist had a solemn expression, and towards The End of Myriad Paths, a cold smirk appeared on his lips, saying:
“You are indeed very strong, but today… you shall only meet your demise!”
He slowly opened the jade box.
Inside the jade box, slowly, something began to float up.
It was… a strand of black hair!
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
A single strand of hair, and it needed such a terrifying jade box to seal it?
But the Taoist has already raised his hand, and that strand of hair slowly drifted over.
Then, the hair suddenly emitted a pitch-black light.
In an instant, the entire Sky Domain darkened!
It was as if black fog was circulating, causing the world to nearly collapse. That hair, light as a feather, now seemed to have transformed into a divine weapon of immense might.
A strand of hair, stretched across Sky Domain.
The Wish Power of the masses surged towards the sky, but upon touching the black light and the spilling black fog from that hair, it completely vanished, ceasing to exist!
Simultaneously, everyone in the world felt a terrifying palpitation.
“No, my Nine Laws… why is their operation so arduous?”
Changsun Bumie exclaimed in shock.
“What exactly is this hair… How can it affect the Nine Laws?”
“Could it be related to the Nine Laws?”
“Could it possibly be…”
Everyone from the True Ancestor World was full of doubts and uncertainty.
“Do you know what this is?!”
At this moment, the Taoist looked at The End of Myriad Paths with a triumphant smile and said:
“This is… a strand of hair from your true form!”
“In the past, you were too strong and incurred the curse of a myriad of eras; an ill omen befell you, and your true form fell into the realm of the dead. Today, you are merely a thought; can you withstand the power of this curse that spans a myriad of eras?!”
He revealed a profound secret!
There were rumors on the Forbidden Ancient Path that The End of Myriad Paths, in the past when treading the ancient path, invoked curses from countless epochs due to her strength, garnered the envy of creation, and provoked the jealousy of heaven and earth. So, even before she entered that side of the path, ill omens had already tainted her.
And this hair was what remained on the ancient path from The End of Myriad Paths of that time, imbued with terrifying ill omens, bearing the curse of a myriad of heavens and eras towards The End of Myriad Paths.
When this strand of hair was excavated, it even triggered panic among the ten great source clans.
After much effort and at great cost, it was finally sealed.
This time, in order to completely obliterate the future of the Ancestral Mist Realm and doom the Nine Laws… the Tenth Source Clan utilized this thing.
Moreover, this time they used it, the Tenth Source Clan did not plan to take it back either, because once unsealed, the cost to reseal it was too great to bear!
…
Watching this strand of hair unleash, the Taoist laughed, a laugh filled with triumph.
Once, curses of a myriad of eras and the terrifying ill omens had caused The End of Myriad Paths to fall into the realm of the dead. Now, The End of Myriad Paths was but a mere thought…
“You are, after all, just a thought, you cannot protect it, indeed, you cannot!”
He spoke:
“You should perish!”
At this moment, that strand of hair drifted towards The End of Myriad Paths.
It was a boundless, vast curse, the terrifying ill omen that transversed a myriad of eras, with nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape!
At this moment, the Earth’s Qi gathered steps around The End of Myriad Paths collapsed, and the divine throne that rose from the fusion of Heavenly Dao ceased to exist!
Such power was terrifying to the extreme!
And The End of Myriad Paths, watching that strand of hair, finally showed a trace of movement in her eyes, and couldn’t help but raise her eyes to glance at The Grandiose Giant Gate floating in the Sky Domain.
“Back then, when I breached this gate, I returned whole, having glimpsed the Myriad Dao, but it attracted much trouble…”
“If it wasn’t for breaking the jade into thirteen pieces, leaving it in this world, ill omens and curses would not have erupted…”
She murmured.
“`
Back then, before her true body departed, she left behind a wisp of thought and divided the Red Dust Jade she had left behind into thirteen pieces.
It seems that it was precisely because the true body left the Red Dust Jade that she encountered ominousness on the road ahead…
At this moment, the sky was filled with ill omens and curses that had transformed into an ocean, surrounding her.
But the sea of ill omens and curses, with its towering waves forming ferocious eyes and terrifying faces, could not come within three feet of her!
Because in her hand… she still held a fragment of the jade.
“How is this possible? Why hasn’t she died…”
“The ill omens and curses that even troubled her true body can’t break her single wisp of thought?!”
“This shouldn’t be… With such a level of curse and eeriness, no one in the world can withstand it… How can her single wisp of thought remain unharmed?”
For a moment, the several old ghosts on Taoist’s body were all looking at each other, shocked.
This had exceeded their imagination!
“It’s okay, even if her wisp of thought can withstand curses and ill omens, so what? She can’t break the power on this strand of hair; the path ahead for the Nine Laws has already been blocked!”
Taoist then spoke.
His eyes were still serene!
This time, his purpose for coming here was to block the path for the Nine Laws.
Whether he could destroy the wisp of thought at The End of Myriad Paths… actually didn’t matter!
At this moment, seeing this scene, everyone felt a bit desperate.
“No… How can the Nine Laws Sacrifice be blocked… Could it be that our True Ancestor World truly cannot fulfill the grand old covenant? I refuse to accept this!”
Ji Wudan howled to the sky!
“How could this be… The End of Myriad Paths arranged for all eternity, yet to meet such an end…”
Chi Tiangang’s eyes were filled with unwillingness.
“Only hate that we’re too weak, too weak!”
Changsun Bumie clenched his teeth in anger!
Had this world not been through enough, now that they finally had the Nine Laws Sacrifice, should all hope be suppressed by a strand of hair?
…
But, at this moment.
A girl suddenly appeared above Sky Domain.
She was dressed in white, with a graceful figure and proud posture, butterflies flitted amongst her sleeves emitting colorful glows, veiling her so that people couldn’t see her face clearly.
She walked out of the colorful lights, heading towards the strand of hair in the Sky Domain.
Approaching the strand of hair, facing the black light it emitted, she proceeded unharmed!
Seeing this, Taoist was shocked and exclaimed:
“Who are you?!”
It is known that the air contained within that strand of hair is extraordinarily terrifying; even the Tenth Source Clan on the Forbidden Ancient Path needed to use the Treasure Vase containing the forbidden aura to repress it. Once released, even the Origin of the Grey Mist would be eroded.
But now this girl could directly approach it?
“Not right… Stop her, she is very strange!”
“Attack!”
Immediately, the seven evil ghosts perched on Taoist’s shoulder all spoke ferociously. The green glow in their ghostly eyes shooting out terrifying beams, and ghostly claws with a deathly aura reaching for the girl!
These Ghostly Beings, all having escaped from Samsara, were incredibly terrifying, creating terrifying ghostly winds in Sky Domain, as if they were about to turn the True Ancestor World into hell itself.
However, the girl stood firm; butterflies fluttered around her, the colorful glow they cast preventing the green glows from approaching, even blocking the Ghostly Aura that surged out from Samsara!
“Not right… She must have a significant background, connect with the Reincarnation Palace there… Quickly!”
An evil ghost spoke out.
All at once, behind Taoist, a Path-Scenic Land that was semi-real appeared, connecting to a mist-shrouded world within, featuring a vast lake. At the center of the lake stood a grand palace, with a startling plaque hanging above.
“Reincarnation Palace”!
Taoist’s Path-Scenic Land… was connected to the Tenth Source Clan, Reincarnation Palace of the Forbidden Ancient Path.
At this moment, the endless Ghostly Beings in that world seemed to sense something, wandering and turning their heads towards this world, many grey ghostly claws stretched out from the lake water, as if to descend to this place via Taoist’s Path-Scenic Land…
But, at that moment.
A butterfly by the girl’s side fluttered its wings lightly.
Boom!
A radiant beam of light suddenly slashed into Taoist’s Path-Scenic Land.
Bang!
The beam of light, like a nuclear bomb, exploded within Taoist’s Path-Scenic Land.
Taoist’s Path-Scenic Land directly collapsed, sinking into oblivion.
“No!”
“How can this be…”
The seven evil ghosts perched on Taoist’s shoulder all spoke in terror at this moment.
And Taoist, had already sat down on the ground, grey blood flowing from his pupils, his entire person incredibly wooden.
His Path-Scenic Land destroyed, he… had already died!
At this moment, everyone watching the scene was shocked!
Dead silence reigned!
Under the gaze of thousands, the girl then lightly waved her hand, and that wisp of hair drifted into her palm.
The terrifying strand of hair that could suppress the wishes of all beings and destroy all laws of the world, upon entering her hand, suddenly turned into a wisp of blue smoke, vanishing completely!
…
Good night.
Today I came back late from working overtime; my index and ring fingers got injured, can’t move them… It’s incredibly uncomfortable.
I hope my fingers recover quickly; otherwise, it really affects the updates, my backlog can’t last for long…
Good night, good night.
