Chapter 1491: Chapter 885: Severing Karma, the Sacrifice of the Ancient Sages (Part 2)
The white figure was Xuanhua.
It turns out that his battle was fought for this starry sky.
Even for Old Cyan Dragon and others, it was the first time hearing about these events, and they were equally shocked.
Old Cyan Dragon murmured, his voice trembling slightly, "Turns out... turns out those ancient sages actually did so much; I always thought they merely..."
He couldn’t continue.
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, he prided himself on being knowledgeable, aware of many secrets.
But he never imagined that there was such a story hidden behind the disappearance of those ancient Great Powers.
The Black Bull stared with big bull eyes, his face full of admiration, "Those predecessors were truly remarkable. If it were me, I definitely couldn’t do it. I can die, but I can’t stand being forgotten."
Ming Feng, though silent, had eyes filled with admiration. He gently lowered his head, seemingly paying tribute to those ancient sages.
Gui Xu Taoist looked at them and smiled slightly, "Yes, because of the sacrifice of those sages, this starry sky can continue to this day. Without them, this place would have become a ruin countless years ago."
Lu Qing was silent for a moment and then asked, "Master, how does this relate to the Dark Abyss, and why must you leave this world?"
Gui Xu Taoist looked at him with deep eyes.
"Child, you’ve asked the right question."
He paused, then continued, "The appearance of the Dark Abyss is actually related to the Mysterious Transformation Great Power."
Lu Qing’s heart stirred, listening intently.
Gui Xu Taoist said slowly, "Back then, when the Mysterious Transformation Great Power and others entered the Otherworld, they engaged in a long and brutal war with those evil creatures.
That battle lasted for countless millennia.
Countless Great Powers fell, and countless strong ones died in battle.
But ultimately, they successfully blocked the advancement of those evil creatures, confining them to a certain region of that world."
"However, just when they thought victory was in sight, an unexpected event occurred."
Gui Xu Taoist’s voice grew grave.
"The Mysterious Transformation Great Power fell into the enemy’s trap."
Lu Qing frowned, "A trap?"
Gui Xu Taoist nodded, "The exact details of the trap were unclear even in the Will left by the Mysterious Transformation Great Power.
But what is certain is that several beings of his level joined forces to ambush him.
That battle was earth-shattering, reversing the stars.
But although the Mysterious Transformation Great Power was formidable, he was ultimately outnumbered, and after being seriously injured, he fought hard to flee.
But in the end, he couldn’t escape and was suppressed."
"Suppressed?" Lu Qing asked.
Gui Xu Taoist replied, "Yes, suppressed, not killed.
At first, the Mysterious Transformation Great Power thought they wanted to spare his life to torture him, to extract the secrets of his home world from him.
But later he realized he was mistaken."
"Their goal was more sinister than he imagined."
Gui Xu Taoist looked at Lu Qing with a serious gaze.
"After the Mysterious Transformation Great Power was suppressed, those evil creatures did not interrogate him but started to construct a massive altar.
The altar, covering tens of thousands of miles, was paved with the bones and blood of countless living creatures.
Among those bones were creatures from their world, others from worlds they had devoured,
and some were ancient Great Powers who fell in that battle."
"They intended to use the physical body and Divine Soul of the Mysterious Transformation Great Power for a sacrifice."
"A sacrifice?" Lu Qing asked, "To whom?"
Gui Xu Taoist shook his head, "Unknown, and the Mysterious Transformation Great Power did not know either.
But he knew, the purpose of the sacrifice was to forcibly open a passage to his home world, using his karmic connection."
Lu Qing’s pupils slightly contracted.
Using the Mysterious Transformation Great Power’s physical body and Divine Soul to open the passage?
Gui Xu Taoist continued, "When they left their home world, all Great Powers had severed their memories of the home world’s coordinates.
This was to prevent them from falling into enemy hands and having the coordinates Soul Searched.
Because of this, though some comrades fell in the Otherworld, the home world remained safe."
"But if they truly blood-sacrificed him, using his karmic connection to the home world to forcibly open a passage, the consequences would be unimaginable, and success couldn’t be predicted."
Gui Xu Taoist’s voice carried a weight of seriousness.
"The Mysterious Transformation Great Power understood he absolutely couldn’t let them open a passage to his home world; otherwise, all their years of sacrifice, all their efforts, would be for nothing."
"So, during their blood sacrifice, the Mysterious Transformation Great Power did something extremely decisive."
Lu Qing asked, "What did he do?"
Gui Xu Taoist slowly said, "At all costs, he burned his Divine Soul."
Lu Qing felt a chill in his heart.
Burning one’s Divine Soul is the most extreme measure for a cultivator.
Once the Divine Soul is burned, it means complete obliteration, without even a chance for reincarnation.
It’s a more thorough end than death.
Gui Xu Taoist continued, "At the critical moment of the blood sacrifice, the Mysterious Transformation Great Power burned his Divine Soul, unleashing unprecedented power, breaking free of his bonds.
In that moment, his power reached an unprecedented peak, even surpassing his prime.
He shattered the altar with a punch, slain the strong one hosting the blood sacrifice with a palm strike, and crushed a million miles of surrounding space with a stomp."
"But even so, a gap in the world passage was still torn open.
