Chapter 1178 The Remains


“I really didn’t expect to return to this place one day.” The Sword Master sighed and his voice came to Ding Hao’s mind.


Ding Hao’s heart skipped a beat and he asked, “Do you know the origin of this place?”


“This is the real place to bury immortals,” said the Saber Master with a sigh. “In the Immortal Period, all the dead immortals were buried here in the evening of immortals. I didn’t expect that this place would be refined into a small world. The dark power here is so dense. It must be that being!”


“We… we used to fight here back then. I thought everything was over, and our masters also died here…” The Sword Master’s voice became heavy. “That battle… was too terrible!”


Ding Hao was silent.


He was right that the Saber Master and the Sword Master were from that place.


Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng had said before that they had used the space-time Divine Artifact to travel through time and space. They wanted to find out what had happened at the end of the Immortal Period and change everything because the tragedy of God’s Palace had been doomed since that time.


Unfortunately, their strength was too limited after all. In the late phase of the Immortal Period, when the immortals were in chaos, they could not change anything at all. For some reason, it was too late when they time-traveled to the Immortal Period. They only brought the Saber Master and the Sword Master back to the Snow Province in the Land of Infinity, as well as the milky white Immortal Liquid.


For Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng, this was destined to be a failed trip. Fortunately, they made some gains, so they later left some fortunes in the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range, which made Ding Hao come into being.


However, even in the era where there were countless immortals, the white Immortal Liquid was still extremely precious. It must have had something to do with the Saber Master and the Sword Master that Ding Shengtan and his wife could get the liquid.


Unfortunately, the Saber Master and the Sword Master couldn’t remember anything. There was no information about Ding Shengtan and his wife in their memories.


As the crowd spoke, they continued to move forward.


The dark power ahead became stronger and stronger, circling in the void like an evil dragon. It seemed to have wisdom and let out a sharp and harsh roar. It swooped down on the ground again and again, rushed through the ruins, and stirred up waves of smoke and dust. Countless immortal light debris and immortal skeletons rolled, and the broken swords and armor collided with each other, making strange sounds.


“Eh, what is that?”


Pig Immortal let out a cry of surprise.


Everyone looked in the direction of his gaze and saw that there was a sunken basin on the left. Streaks of the pure light of the Immortal Tao were emanating from it, and an ancient aura spread out. Within the basin, there was a light shield of Immortal Qi that covered the entire area, and it resisted the dark power.


Could it be that someone here is still alive?


Ding Hao and the others were shocked and hurried to the place.


At first glance, everyone was stunned on the spot. Under the light shield of the Immortal Tao, hundreds of figures were sitting cross-legged in the same place, wearing the armor of the Immortal Period. The hem of their clothes was fluttering in the wind. They all closed their eyes and focused. Wisps of immortal aura were emitted from their bodies, constantly maintaining the light shield of the immortal Tao.


These people were really immortals, the immortals that existed through the Immortal Period until now.


But if one took a closer look, one would find that these immortals were actually dead. Their bodies had long lost their vitality. Their figures were withered, their skin had lost its luster, and their bones were wrapped around them. They were like mummies. Their eye sockets were deep, and their skin was lightly golden as if it had been watered by gold.


However, although they were dead, the source of the Immortal Tao in their bodies had not been completely destroyed. They were instinctively emitting wisps of immortal aura, which formed a light shield to isolate them from the dark power.


Ding Hao and the others looked at each other in dismay.


These people all had been extremely powerful beings and had reached the Immortal Tao for a long time. It was very likely that they were all high-level immortals. That was why they were able to survive in this burial ground of the immortals and not die in the war, but in the end, they were wiped out in the long history.


Could it be that it was really impossible for an immortal to survive all the epochs?


Ding Hao observed carefully and suddenly made a discovery.


“These people died not because they were trapped by the dark power, but because their own strength had declined… It’s just like the normal life and death of ordinary people, but the strange thing is that the death of these immortals was extremely sudden. It’s as if they had died of old age in an instant…”


Ding Hao was puzzled.


“That’s because when the Immortal Period was destroyed, the six paths collapsed, and the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth weakened, the world could no longer bear the existence of immortals, so these immortals were not recognized by the rules and tides of Spiritual Qi between heaven and the earth. It’s just like fish leaving the water in an instant. Even if they had high cultivation, they couldn’t possibly hold on!” the Sword Master secretly transmitted a voice message to Ding Hao.


Ding Hao was stunned for a moment and then immediately understood something.


Just like today’s world needed the recovery of the Spiritual Qi tides to produce immortals. In the Immortal Period, the six paths collapsed, the rules of the Immortal Tao ceased to exist, and the Spiritual Qi tides weakened. After the destruction, the world could no longer bear the existence of immortals. The power of heaven and earth weakened in an instant, which led to those immortals with high cultivation who had not died in the war to eventually die in this decay.


When the sky fell, every being would lose its eternity, which was something that even immortals couldn’t avoid.


However, these people were extremely powerful when they were alive, so their bodies did not decay. There were also wisps of immortal aura emanating from their bodies, instinctively maintaining their power of the Immortal Tao. Perhaps at the last moment of their lives, they did not want their bodies to be enveloped by darkness, so they maintained the light shield.

“It’s a pity that their armor and weapons have lost their Spiritual Qi and have no power.” The Pig Immortal was very excited at first, but after some observation, he looked depressed. It had been too long. Since immortals could not exist in this world, the same would happen to the Immortal Artifacts.


The hundreds of people here were all Human Immortals.


Ding Hao sighed and made a few bows. Golden Cicada chanted a scripture to release the dead from purgatory. Unfortunately, the origin of these immortals was already dead. Even if the rules of the Immortal Tao were restored, the six paths were slowly gathered, and the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was restored, they would no longer be able to resurrect.


Everyone’s hearts sank.


Ding Hao could sense the aura of the Feather Emperor, but he fled all the way to the depths of the burial ground of the immortals. Everyone kept chasing after him. This matter was getting more and more strange. Why did the black coffin appear in the divine hall of the Feather Clan? Did the Feather Clan really have something to do with Hades True Immortal?


Moreover, that type of method of devouring new immortal essence really wasn’t a small matter. It was definitely related to the Immortal Period’s destruction.


No matter what, they had to find the Feather Emperor.


The group continued to chase after him.


Along the way, they saw a lot of light shields of the Immortal Tao. Each of them was guarded by the remains of an immortal expert. As they had seen before, these immortals had been dead for a long time. Their corpses were not decayed, but their weapons and armor were like rotten wood without any spirits.


Among these remains, there were creatures of all races.


After the crowd thought about it carefully, they had seen at least a few thousand high-level Immortals from the Immortal Period who had died because of the withering power of heaven and earth. Reaching the Celestial Realm was combining oneself with the world, which meant the unity of heaven and human. When an immortal became one with the world, he would naturally be invincible throughout everywhere. Unfortunately, once the world declined, the immortal would also perish.


This might be the reason why even if one became immortal, one still wouldn’t be able to live forever.


The deeper the crowd went, the stronger the dark power between heaven and earth became. Everyone had to use all their strength to spread out the power of the Immortal Tao to avoid being eroded by the dark power. The environment around them became more and more strange. The broken skeletons of the Immortal Tao turned pitch-black. They were soaked by the dark power, like evil spirits, extremely ferocious. It was as if they were about to pounce on the crowd and bite them at any time.


No one dared to be careless.


Swoosh!


As expected, a jet of dark power slashed toward the crowd like a sharp blade.


There was a strange figure hidden in the black mist, like a giant crab. It came at lightning speed, and six giant claws slashed down in front of Ding Hao’s face.


It was a dark war puppet.


A bright light flashed in Ding Hao’s eyes. He slashed out with his golden saber and silver sword, directly sending the giant figure flying.


“Eh? It’s actually not destroyed?”


After dispersing the black mist, everyone could see clearly that the figure had not been destroyed after taking Ding Hao’s blow head-on. It turned out to be a huge pitch-black spider. Obviously, it was a demonic spider from the Immortal Period, but it had been refined into a dark war puppet.


...


Moreover, this demonic spider was obviously an immortal being when it was alive. Even though it was dead, its physical body was extremely tough, and it was refined into a war puppet by evil dark methods, so its improvement was extremely terrifying. Moreover, in this environment that was filled with dark power, its combat strength was just horrifying.


“As expected, it’s a technique of the same lineage. It should be the technique of Hades True Immortal.”


Ding Hao quickly made a judgment.


This wasn’t the first time he saw a dark war puppet, but it was the first time he saw a dark war puppet of the Immortal Tao. The methods of Hades True Immortal really were unpredictable. Only he could do this when he stirred up trouble in the Immortal Period back then.


Ding Hao made another move and destroyed the spider puppet.


He was quite experienced in dealing with the dark war puppets.


As the crowd moved forward, they encountered even more dark war puppets. All of them had the combat strength of the Immortal Tao. Luckily, these puppets had already lost their battle intelligence, and they were only fighting instinctively, so no one was injured, and all of them were able to defeat them.


However, the speed of their advance had slowed.


Boom!


Ding Hao punched, and the power of the Sword Intent surged. In an instant, the Sword Intent of the four seasons worked on the dark war puppet. The puppet refined from an immortal corpse instantly turned into powder and dissipated into the void.


“Something’s not right. We seem to have stirred up a hornet’s nest. There are more and more dark war puppets…” The Great Ape King frowned and said, “The Feather Emperor doesn’t seem to have suffered any attacks from these dark war puppets. Could it be that he’s able to communicate with the power behind them?”


...


Otherwise, with the strength of the Feather Emperor, it would have been impossible for him to go deep into the small world without leaving any traces of fighting.


That was not a good sign.


If the Great Ape King’s worries were true, then everyone would be in danger.


“I don’t think so. Don’t worry, I can feel that he is greatly panicked now…” Ding Hao closed his eyes to sense for a moment and said, “There’s no way to go back now. Anyone who has any doubts can withdraw. I must go in and explore.”


Seeing Ding Hao’s firm attitude, the crowd naturally would not quit.


About half an hour later, an extremely strong aura of Immortal Tao suddenly came from the front, which was bright and powerful and dispelled the dark power around. It was like a bright lamp in the dark night, shining brightly and illuminating a blue sea and blue sky.


“Hurry… hurry over!” The Saber Master and the Sword Master suddenly became excited.
