Chapter 1716 - Destroyed Life Restricted Region
The Great Yin River and Great Yang River intersected in the void, forming a great cross. It was grand and astonis.h.i.+ng!
One was pitch-black like ink, the other golden and resplendent, the former full of yin energy, the latter blazing with divine energy, one as if it came from h.e.l.l, one as if it originated from a divine kingdom.
These were two completely different rivers, both of them surrounded by great dao symbols, containing terrifying power. A roaring sound was produced, absolutely deafening.
This wasn’t the past Great Yin or Great Yang River, because what he saw before weren’t pure, but rather just ordinary rivers, while the two before him were the source, ancestral rivers.
There were two rivers on the ground as well, under the ashes. Just how did they take form?
When they carefully thought about it, those really were projections!
There was true great yin and great yang in this world, stretching across the cosmos. Wherever their projections were cast onto a surface, great yin and great yang essence energy would gather, ultimately mixing together with an ordinary river, forming a body of water.
The two rivers below the ashes could already be considered extremely pure, but compared to the two in the sky dome above, they were far too inferior.
Honglong!
s.h.i.+ Hao tore through the ripple-like great formation patterns, advancing with great difficulty. He arrived in the void, approaching this place.
All of the fur on the golden lion’s body stood on end, because this place was too terrifying. The aura that was released made it so that one couldn’t help but tremble.
This place was definitely not trivial, making one feel great respect, tremble from the very soul.
The yin and yang formed from the great dao contrasted and complimented each other. Even the five elements originated from yin and yang energies, this place was the root.
Before these Great Yin and Great Yang Rivers, all creatures would naturally be moved, feeling endlessly stirred. All cultivators would tremble from their souls when they came here.
s.h.i.+ Hao slowly calmed down, gradually adapting to this place’s fluctuations.
The golden lion wasn’t an ordinary individual either. It released a low roar, finally calming down considerably too. Its soul no longer trembled, advancing step by step with s.h.i.+ Hao.
When they looked at it from a different angle, as the two watched these streams interweave, they then felt that they were peaceful and complete, calm and quiet.
The earlier rumbling noises actually completely disappeared at this moment. This was a calm and beautiful scenery, the most peaceful land of this world.
How could it be like this?
This was precisely the great dao!
Its transformations were endless, impossible to grasp.
It could be said that the Great Yin River and Great Yang River were tangible embodiments of the world’s great dao, the most suitable mediums for describing natural laws and order.
Great yin and great yang energies represented yin yang, these could be called the mother of natural laws, an extraordinary power.
Now, one man, one beast came here. After they calmed themselves down, the entire world seemed to have become at peace. They obtained quite a few benefits here.
At the very least, their understandings towards yin and yang deepened.
This affected their own paths. s.h.i.+ Hao released a sigh of astonishment. The inside of his body was rumbling, those opened gates in his flesh erupting with sacred light, dazzling and resplendent.
Kacha!
Only when a light sound rang out in the distance did the two come awake, snapping out from this type of dao comprehension state.
Near the intersecting streams were a few buildings, all of them damaged and ruined. Just now, there was a piece of stone that cracked, waking them up.
This was in the void, there was no land, no great continent, only two rivers. They were a part of the great dao, as well as some type of tangible incarnation!
However, back then, there were creatures who took residence here, turning this place into their homeland!
Just how terrifying of a thing was this?
This was previously a Life Restricted Region, one that overlooked the Nine Heavens Ten Earths!
As for the ground, the ruins under the ashes, it was clearly still left by the clan. However, it was quite clear that this was the foundational important place.
Without a doubt, those who had the qualifications to reside here were definitely core members, the most powerful creatures.
Only, they had already been extinguished!
Meanwhile, this type of terrifying thing was far more significant than the fact that some clans were able to reside here.
Just what kind of power was able to overturn a Life Restricted Region, eradicate it? From the looks of it, the battle back then was extremely intense, or else why would there be these types of ashes on the ground?
One had to understand that those ashes were formed from burning the bodies of deities!
“Where is the gate?” s.h.i.+ Hao searched about.
He remained extremely vigilant while walking through these ruins.
It was because this was the center of the Life Restricted Region. He had no idea why it was destroyed.
Soon afterwards, s.h.i.+ Hao broke into a cold s.h.i.+ver. Then, the golden lion also trembled. It was because even though the buildings here were damaged, not that many, they still gave off a great pressure.
There was a damaged stone tablet with undying energy that flowed out, somewhat horrifying.
It was clear that there was no way this place had life. Back then, the people and events were all buried, not a trace of life force and other things remaining.
However, the places where the natives lived were still intimidating, especially this place. This was the area where core figures remained.
The buildings were all in ruin, nothing left behind, only giant rocks, copper pillars, and other things there. However, it still made one’s fine hairs stand on end.
The residences of undying beings had their own energy fields. Even after many years pa.s.sed, they still didn’t scatter.
It could be said that if it wasn’t for s.h.i.+ Hao and the golden lion being strong enough, normal people wouldn’t be able to reach this place at all. They would all fall under the pressure.
One could imagine that if this place wasn’t destroyed, even if no one was here to guard this place, not many people could reach this place. It was just too terrifying.
“Where is the gate?” The golden lion was also searching. It avoided the ruins, entering the void, roaming about in front of the two great rivers.
Just like that, they searched for a long time, but they didn’t obtain any clues, unable to see any activity from start until now.
“Great yin and great yang, there is an ancient path at their limits leading into the lower realm. However, where is it?” s.h.i.+ Hao said to himself.
Following the clues he obtained beforehand, he now came here, yet there was still no gate to be found.
Honglong!
Suddenly, he began to derive the Kun Peng Technique, two wings appearing behind him, gently swaying. Great yin and great yang power spread, producing chaotic energy.
“Right, it should be over there!” He realized with a start.
Deriving the Yin Yang Great Dao here made s.h.i.+ Hao suddenly see the truth. Where was the gate most likely to be? It was definitely where the Great Yin and Great Yang Rivers intersected!
The region where the cross intersected had chaotic energy surging. It spread throughout, making this place extremely indistinct.
He arrived, sensing an unprecedented pressure. He remained extremely careful.
s.h.i.+ Hao threw in a magical artifact. Before it entered the point where the two streams intersected, there were already some splashes produced, and then chaotic energy surged, that magical artifact melting, completely destroyed.
This made the golden lion suck in a cold breath of air, inadvertently backing up.
This was the ancient path? If one really went in, wouldn’t they undoubtedly die?
“Something’s not right!” s.h.i.+ Hao frowned. He began to derive the Yin Yang Great Dao again.
This time, it wasn’t only the Kun Peng Technique, he also used the Lightning Emperor Divine Ability.
When lightning was mentioned, normally, one would always a.s.sume it represented destruction, that it was the judgment of the heavens. However, there was also Lightning Tribulation Liquid, this type of exuberant life force.
Yin and yang, life and death, these opposed each other, these two balanced and true.
s.h.i.+ Hao transformed, his entire body s.h.i.+ning. Endless patterns appeared, sometimes a kun fish, sometimes a great peng bird, and then he turned into lightning, electrical arcs everywhere.
Hong!
A great noise sounded. This entire world seemed to have erupted.
Ao…
The golden lion’s mane stood on end, but in reality, his entire body’s fur stood on end, becoming like needles.
It released a loud cry, quickly escaping into the distance.
It was because right at this moment the Great Yin and Great Yang Rivers moved, changing their trajectories. One came cras.h.i.+ng down from the skies, one rus.h.i.+ng horizontally past.
They still intersected, but their paths had changed.
Their point of intersection, was precisely where s.h.i.+ Hao was.
The golden lion simply refused to believe what it was seeing. Was this an illusion, or was this real?
Was Huang going to bathe in the Great Yin and Great Yang Rivers, going to return to a.s.similate into the great dao?
The Fearless Lion could tell that those two rivers carried many secrets. They were formed from symbols, the condensation of two types of origin force.
Honglong!
However, the horrible conclusion didn’t happen. Where the two rivers met, a gate appeared, extremely mysterious, and also extremely strange. Chaotic energy was released from it, while s.h.i.+ Hao stood precisely outside of it.
At this time, the gate was already open. One could see an ancient path made from ash brown stones that led into the distant unknown.
They found it, it was precisely here!
s.h.i.+ Hao was shaken. This was definitely the path that he could use to return to his homeland!
He really never expected that this type of method was needed to open it, that one had to be proficient in the Yin Yang Great Dao, resonate with these two rivers, only then could this mysterious ancient path be opened.
At the same time, he was full of doubts. Why was this ancient path in the place where great yin and great yang intersected?
What era was this left behind from? Who was the one who created it?
Also, were the lower realms really that important, for one to create this type of ancient path, maintaining a connection?
