Chapter 654: Chapter 364: The 6th Era: Falling into Darkness? A Glimpse of the Future!_2
Lu Yuan extended a strand of Original Divine Thought, rushing forward along the mighty River of Time.
However, as soon as his divine thought attempted to go downstream, it felt a heavy pressure.
It was as if an invisible force was obstructing his insight, not allowing him to glimpse the heavenly secrets!
Fortunately, Lu Yuan’s divine power was vast, his Dao Body was in Perfection, and his power far surpassed his past self.
He gritted his teeth and infused all his Primordial Divine Power into that strand of divine thought.
The Original Divine Thought that originally couldn’t move an inch suddenly burst forth in radiance, finally breaking through some barrier and successfully flowing downstream, catching a glimpse of a corner of the future.
Immediately afterward.
Countless scenes appeared before Lu Yuan’s eyes.
Each scene represented something that would actually happen at a certain point in the future!
He saw himself holding a saber to slash at the heavens, facing countless Celestial Deities alone.
He saw the twilight of an era, where all deities were bloodstained, and even someone as strong as Celestial Emperor Qianyuan was slain by the Divine Prison Thunder Saber, unable to avoid a bleak fall.
He saw the Celestial Palace collapsing, the end of the heavens, and at the bottom of a Great Abyss shrouded in black mist, there were bones scattered everywhere!
He saw himself, after leveling the heavens, inexplicably jumping into the infinite abyss, choosing to merge with the darkness!
In the depths of the Dark Abyss, there were five radiant skeletons, their surfaces covered with Emperor-level Divine Patterns, still exuding overwhelming pressure despite the passage of endless ages.
Especially one skull, where a very weak Emperor Fire was still burning.
This Emperor Fire flickered precariously, constantly resisting the erosion from darkness, like a candle in the wind, on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.
Yet, as the Emperor Fire burned, its aura was terrifyingly intense.
It seemed as though it could burn down the ancient heavens, causing even Lu Yuan’s divine thought to suffer considerable shock.
But what surprised Lu Yuan the most.
Was that he actually felt a familiar aura from these five skeletal remains!
"Could these be the remains of the Celestial Emperor of the Human Race?"
Lu Yuan’s pupils constricted, and his heart was far from calm.
He had heard from the Imperial Tutor about the mysterious demise of the Celestial Emperor of the Human Race and the eerie aspects of the Celestial Burial Emperor Abyss.
But only upon seeing these five emperor bones did he realize firsthand how intense that battle of the past truly was!
Every Celestial Emperor of the Human Race was a peerless figure of their era.
They once ruled over the heavens, exerting pressure through the ages, unrivaled in the world.
Yet as strong as they were, they fell unexpectedly in a dark abyss, unknown to the world, unable to return home, and even their remains could not rest in peace, constantly subjected to the erosion of darkness!
"One emperor bone, one strand of Emperor Fire, is this truly the final resting place of the Celestial Emperor of the Human Race?"
Lu Yuan’s emotions were complex, watching that strand of Emperor Fire, vaguely guessing its identity.
Among the five Celestial Emperors of the Human Race, the Celestial Emperor Fu Xi had contributions to Creation and was considered the strongest of all times.
Perhaps only he, for millions of years long, could withstand the dark erosion and still keep a strand of Emperor Fire unextinguished.
Lu Yuan shook his head and looked up again at that boundless abyss.
Not long after.
He discovered that deeper within the Abyss, there were many scattered limbs and remains, as well as colossal, unimaginable corpses standing tall.
The flesh of these limbs and remains had long been cleanly eroded by darkness, leaving only some broken Divine Patterns on the surface.
But although these Divine Patterns were shattered, they still conveyed a terrifying wave of fear, even stronger than the aura of the Celestial Emperors of the Human Race!
"Could these be the remains of the Innate Gods and Demons?"
Looking at those god and demon corpses, Lu Yuan was shocked to the core, saying incredulously.
It was well known.
The Celestial Divine Race merely herded the people for Heaven, serving as caretakers of all life.
Only the Innate Divine Demon Race truly controlled the Barbaric World.
But the Innate Divine Demon Race’s power was so immense, surpassing the combat limits of this realm, even normal activities consumed unimaginable resources and energy.
For this reason.
To conserve resources, they remained in a slumber in the River of Time for years.
Only when the food was ripe would they awaken from their slumber to harvest the Three Thousand Lower Realms.
Yet the god and demon bodies Lu Yuan saw now directly overturned his previous understanding and beliefs.
Wasn’t it said that the Innate Divine Demon Race was the strongest in this world?
How could they silently perish in a Dark Abyss?
And with their formidable powers, who could possibly obliterate them?
If the Innate Divine Demon Race had indeed already fallen, who then was in control of the Heavenly Dao of the Heavens?
Lu Yuan’s emotions fluctuated, unable to calm down for a long time.
This news was too shocking for words, and he couldn’t find an answer right away.
He could only urge that strand of Original Divine Thought to venture further downstream the River of Time, continuing to explore the deepest parts of that Dark Abyss, attempting to discover the truth of it all.
Not long after.
The strand of divine thought pierced through layers upon layers of black mist, finally about to reach the end of the Abyss.
But at that moment.
Lu Yuan suddenly saw a pair of blood-red eyes in the endless darkness!
What kind of eyes were these?
Cold and indifferent, vast and profound as the heavens, devoid of any emotion.
It was as if all the world’s creatures were nothing but straw dogs in its eyes!
"Bang!"
Lu Yuan had just seen this cold pair of blood-red eyes, barely having time to see the other person’s features.
His Original Divine Thought, without warning.
Suddenly exploded, turning into nothingness!
Lu Yuan’s body trembled, as if he had suffered some serious injury, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood.
His aura quickly declined, becoming weak and listless in an instant.
Moreover.
An irresistible vast divine power traced back along his divine thought, attempting to cross the River of Time and directly attack Lu Yuan’s true body.
This inconceivable method and power were far beyond Lu Yuan’s expectations, making him feel a great fear of life and death!
Forcibly interfering with the past and the future would result in enormous consequences, leading to unpredictable accidents.
Even though Lu Yuan possessed an Innate Dao Body, he had yet to become invincible in the world.
Not to mention, some earth-shattering upheaval had occurred in this realm.
The entire Innate Divine Demon Race had perished, killed by an unknown party.
How could Lu Yuan, a successor from postnatal to Innate transformations, withstand such a terrifying onslaught?
Just as that destructive force was about to traverse the River of Time and descend upon this space-time continuum.
A faint sigh suddenly echoed in this space-time.
Immediately after.
A strand of Emperor Fire in one of the Celestial Emperor’s corpses suddenly surged, illuminating the dense black mist like a blazing sun.
The black mist, like ghouls and spirits under the Fiery Sun, issued wailing screams and dissipated into wisps of black smoke in the air.
Even the terrifying power that had pierced the River of Time was blocked by the Emperor Fire, disappearing without a trace.
However, as a cost.
The originally extremely weak strand of Emperor Fire exhausted all its origin, completely vanishing into smoke.
As darkness evaporated and the mist dispersed.
The mysterious presence that slumbered in the deepest part of the Abyss temporarily revealed a glimpse of its true form.
Guided by a mysterious urge, Lu Yuan looked at the bottom of the Abyss.
But just one glance caused his face to change dramatically, breaking into a cold sweat instantly.
And it seemed the other person also noticed Lu Yuan’s gaze, slowly raising their head, and a cold smile appeared on their expressionless face!
Their gazes crossed the River of Time, meeting from a distance, subjecting Lu Yuan to an unprecedented shock!
For that mysterious presence, supposedly fallen into darkness and once responsible for annihilating the Innate Divine Demon Race, had a face identical to his own!
"That’s impossible! Why does this person look exactly like me?"
Lu Yuan was struck by a strong tremor in his heart, unable to accept this fact for a long time.
Though he wanted to convince himself that the person he just saw was merely disguised or impersonated.
Facial features can be disguised, but auras and divine souls cannot be impersonated.
And the aura emanating from the other person was all too familiar to Lu Yuan, impossible to mistake.
Because it was clearly his own!
However, compared to Lu Yuan presently, the other person’s aura was even stronger, and had already been assimilated by the Dark Origin!
No wonder the Profound Celestial Venerable before dying, after catching a glimpse of a corner of the future, had looked at him with eyes full of pity and sympathy.
It turned out that he too had seen the scene of Lu Yuan falling into darkness!
