Chapter 668
by fanqienovelChapter 668: The Might of the Fantasy Artifact, Three True Immortal Magic of Spirit Sense
Zixue Xin saw a Major Achievement Honored Being grip the Sword of Chaos to Stabilize Heaven. With an inexplicable surge of power, a divine giant suddenly materialized from the Purple energy, a true embodiment of primal chaotic gods and demons.
"Open Heaven, destroy!"
The Major Achievement Honored Being shouted coldly, and the god and demon moved.
Its eyes resembled the sun and moon, with hair flowing like rivers. Its skin was a earthy yellow, reminiscent of the ground. Its hands and feet were human-like, yet still primitive, the form rough and covered in hair, while chaotic energy spiraled around its torso like a long snake. Its muscles were tightly bound, exuding an indescribable might.
It wielded the Sword of Chaos to Stabilize Heaven, surrounded by endless light, effortlessly using this Creation Artifact.
With a roar, the god and demon swung the sword down.
Boom!
The heavens and earth were split in two!
Turbid energy descended while pure energy rose!
The entire Special area collapsed instantly, the rules of Red Heaven swiftly vanishing, as Earth’s Wind, Water, and Fire were remolded, threatening to annihilate Yun Ye and the others on the spot!
"This truly is Opening Heaven and Earth! How does the Divine Court control the Creation Artifact?"
Zixue Xin found no surprise in Opening Heaven and Earth itself; what puzzled her was how the Divine Court could manipulate the world’s underlying rules.
For the world, as long as the foundational rules permit, it is entirely feasible to suddenly create a Creation God.
Numerous cases of invasion from the multiverse indicated that no matter how low the world’s grade was, they had absolute control over themselves.
In some peculiar worldviews, even an ordinary being could trace back the entire universe’s time. It could almost be said that there are no limits to what can be accomplished.
The Celestial Empire had encountered a very unique plane, called the "Dimension Technology Universe," which is one of the worlds yet to be conquered.
This world expresses itself in a cosmic form but exists in a plane form; simply put, it’s a small-scale "multiverse." It originates from a single source and has developed countless parallel universes, making it impossible for the Celestial Empire to grasp the source even after a thousand years of exploration.
The form of the universe is unremarkable, but the characteristics of its small multiverses contain treasures, and the Celestial Empire has tirelessly pursued its conquest.
Throughout the millennia, this small multiverse has shown many peculiar aspects, such as some universes containing civilizations capable of creating time machines, universe compressors, or even conjuring entirely new universes—truly fantastical technology.
In contrast, another universe suddenly introduced a comedic character who cannot be killed; the universe occasionally collapses and re-forms due to this character’s antics.
From the numerous Dimension Technology Universes that the Celestial Empire has explored, each has proven to be a significant challenge, with countless casualties required for successful conquest.
With such outrageous worlds existing, using a Creation Artifact to Open Heaven and Earth is hardly surprising.
In practical terms, whether through technology or mysticism, the reason such feats are achievable is still due to the permissibility of the world’s rules.
Essentially, both parties utilize the existing order of the world; both fall within the realm of science, depending on whether one can identify the underlying patterns.
The difference in their manifestations does not obscure their essence. Therefore, the existence of a Creation Artifact inevitably suggests there is a method to control it.
Whether one can find it and the conditions for realization are the key points.
The Divine Court has undoubtedly succeeded, shattering a significant understanding of the current Red Heaven realm.
"Actually, it’s nothing special; this Creation Artifact has been crafted by the Divine Court into a Fantasy Artifact. Although it appears the same as the original, it has become a creation of the Red Heaven realm, stealing the powers of the Hongmeng realm in this unique manner."
"Alright, since the Divine Court has revealed its trump card, the real battle should begin. Such an opponent cannot be dealt with relying solely on the myriad beings; we must have the Heavenly Veil’s assistance!"
Yun Ye shook his hand, moving deeper into the Purple energy. His Daoist Robe provided protection, allowing him to maneuver freely within the Hongmeng Purple Energy. "Chief, do you want to just stand here and take hits? The Master of Heaven’s Cavern may break through here, and the commotion could be significant; don’t get caught in it."
Fantasy Spirit Law?
Zixue Xin was still pondering what this meant. She vaguely recognized this thing but could not fully grasp it. Given her memory, it was strange to have such a hazy understanding; she had no soul injuries, and her mind and body were at their peak state…
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a clear sound of shattering echoed from all directions, directly carving into the soul and resonating throughout the world.
Zixue Xin pressed her forehead, feeling a sharp pain for a brief moment, causing her figure to flicker as if she might vanish from this world.
But she was a practitioner who had touched the truth, and quickly stabilized herself once more.
She had no time for reflection and immediately pursued Yun Ye.
Behind her, the world began to shatter continuously, as some terrifying presence descended, crushing this realm. However, this shattering only affected the layer of Purple energy and did not significantly impact the Hongmeng realm.
As the first Master of Heaven’s Cavern among the myriad beings descended, a second Master of Heaven’s Cavern followed, causing the Purple energy to withdraw in fear.
“Ah~~~”
The sacred song belonging to the quasi-Monarch echoed faintly.
In this era, no one had yet reached the status of a Cave Quasi-Monarch, let alone a Cave Royal Path, but the Master of Heaven’s Cavern was equivalent to a quasi-Monarch; even without a Cave, they could directly awaken the Fourth Heaven prototype to envelop themselves, forming an invincible domain.
"The deities have truly descended; this is a great harvest,"
the Major Achievement Honored Being who controlled the Creation Artifact laughed heartily. Even with two Masters of Heaven’s Cavern present, his smile remained bright.
With the Hongmeng realm blocking the Cave Power, here, the deity was merely a Honored Being wielding the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth. How much could two of them do?
He possessed the ultimate authority of the Hongmeng realm, equivalent to having the Divine Empress of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven. He held the home field advantage, while ordinary deities might cause him some trouble, but in the end, they would perish here without any unexpected outcomes.
"The fully activated Creation Artifact is surprising; the Divine Court claims to have some capability. Thousand Crafts Honored Being, is this why you conspired with the Divine Court?"
The Master of Heaven’s Cavern from the myriad beings stood in the void, clad in divine garments, exuding a steely essence, his gaze piercing enough to almost stab the Major Achievement Honored Being of the Divine Court.
"There’s nothing more to say, just dead people,"
the Master of Heaven’s Cavern from the Heavenly Veil spoke first, not intending to give the Divine Court Honored Being any time. The Power of the Five Elements intertwined and surged over his body like a long-suppressed volcano erupting, instantly sweeping across thousands of miles, directly targeting the Divine Court Honored Being.
"One Master of Heaven’s Cavern from the myriad beings and one from the Heavenly Veil—what a tight collaboration! Unfortunately, you’ve both underestimated us. We are quite confident that everything happening here will not leak out. Everyone will say: Look, the two deities of the Divine Court and the Celestial Empire have perished together!"
The Major Achievement Honored Being laughed again and swung the Sword of Chaos to Stabilize Heaven, directly shattering the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth.
This made the brows of both Masters of Heaven’s Cavern twitch. Could they actually complete the control of the Creation Artifact?
If this continued, they might really have trouble.
Every world ultimately adheres to its own rules, and as Masters of Heaven’s Cavern, they needed to continuously resist these rules to unleash their great power.
Perhaps at first, they could resist, but what would happen when the massive True Essence within them was exhausted, and they could no longer wield the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth?
In the Hongmeng realm, the barriers of the world isolated the inside from the outside, preventing the Cave Power from infiltrating, making it impossible to ensure the continuity of life and never-ending resources.
At that moment, they conceived the idea of escaping this universe and returning to their own Cave.
Though it was merely an avatar, it still carried remnants of Cave Power, and being destroyed here was not worthwhile, as it would leave a significant flaw in their Cave.
After all, they did not possess the Red Heaven True Immortal Law, making repairs extremely difficult, if not impossible.
"Stay, both of you!"
Thousand Crafts Honored Being laughed heartily. The Honored Being beside him burned with fervor, channeling authority into the chaotic sword, momentarily amplifying its power to the peak of the world, almost mobilizing the essence of the Hongmeng realm.
Thus, the giant moved once more, swinging the sword to unleash a suppression force that enveloped the Hongmeng realm, completely sealing the pathway of escape. The two Masters of Heaven’s Cavern, turned into light, fell back; their thoughts of leaving this world had failed.
"The Sword of Chaos to Stabilize Heaven carries the intent to suppress the Hongmeng. This ‘Heaven’ refers to the entire Hongmeng and chaos, used to stabilize after Opening Heaven and Earth."
"Now, I apply it to seal the barriers of this world and make a sacrifice of the Red Heaven Honored Being. Hehe, this time victory is assured."
Thousand Crafts Honored Being sneered.
How powerful was the Red Heaven Honored Being now?
This was an extravagant sacrifice; the Hongmeng realm had no reason to refuse it. The world’s rules, which had not fully activated before, now completely sprang to life.
From this moment on, unless the world was destroyed, no one could break through from the inside to the outside, and vice versa.
"A sacrifice of an Honored Position, what a useful method."
The Master of Heaven’s Cavern from the myriad beings frowned slightly.
Today, Honored Positions were not as esteemed as before. For the Masters of Heaven’s Cavern, it could serve as a type of consumable, but that was under the premise that the honored ones were completely under the Masters’ control.
Pure Red Heaven Honored Positions were not simple; they were all extraordinary geniuses of the same era, essential foundations for major powers, and could not be easily sacrificed.
The Divine Court was merely a Dark Organization, hidden from the light, with no philosophy worthy of loyalty. Logically, the Honored Position should have been an important member. How could any Honored Position be willing to die so easily?
"Thousand Crafts, your great sin will be judged by me!"
The Master of Heaven’s Cavern from the Heavenly Veil could say nothing more. His eyes blazed with fury, nearly uncontrollable. If even an Honored Being was being sacrificed, one could imagine the means they typically employed.
He drew out the Divine Artifact for Opening Heaven, birthed from the Cave, containing his Cave Techniques’ power, capable of battling across the world and slicing through the universe.
The Power reshaped the cosmos, creating and stabilizing as Purple energy coursed through, fully capable of countering the Creation Artifact held by Thousand Crafts Honored Being.
"Hehe, have too many powers been stripped away? The world’s suppressive force has weakened, and even two Honored Beings who have lost their caves and powers cannot enforce suppression."
Thousand Crafts remained calm, effortlessly controlling gods and demons as he wielded his sword, marking the division of chaos, clearly a battle of Opening Heaven and Earth.
With the Creation Artifact in hand, he feared no one; his power was too strong for defeat to be possible.
He had no intention of engaging in conversation with the Master of Heaven’s Cavern from the Heavenly Veil.
Even though the two Masters of Heaven’s Cavern had recognized him, he had been a mere nobody before, not worthy of their attention or connection.
Indeed, if there had been a connection, he would most likely have been a member of the Divine Court.
"I have no time to waste with you. Let’s begin!"
Thousand Crafts suddenly spoke.
Around him emerged several Honored Beings, and to his surprise, there were seven of them, each taking turns to speak:
"This sword was born for Opening Heaven!"
"It once swept across the world, never tasting defeat!"
"I shall seal the heavens along with the Hongmeng!"
"Yet, the heavens are now covered in dust!"
"Yet, the Hongmeng has fallen!"
"Yet… the deities are extinguished!"
As the incantation was spoken, boundless power gathered, distorting the entire universe until it gradually transformed into a vortex, beginning to funnel into the Sword of Chaos to Stabilize Heaven.
This was a distortion on a world level, requiring the two Masters of Heaven’s Cavern to unleash unparalleled power to resist it. Yet, they found themselves gradually diverted, their bodies stretching and thinning like special effects in a movie, undergoing extremely strange changes.
"What is this…?"
"I have never heard of anything like this. It even affects us, the Masters of Heaven’s Cavern?"
"The affected Creation Artifact is drawing power from this world and requires the assistance of seven Honored Positions to activate?"
"No, it requires the sacrifice of seven Honored Beings. Such a grand undertaking? Just to create a flaw in our defenses?"
One by one, the Honored Beings burned away and vanished. Their incantations transformed into tangible words, engraved upon the sword’s body, and light began to shine.
Each character glowed, causing the distortion of the world to intensify. This was a fascinating force so extraordinary that even the two Masters of Heaven’s Cavern could not comprehend it.
The Cavern was the strongest power of the Celestial Empire; it was impossible… simply impossible to have a force that could resist… not even the Dao Classics could manage it!
The two Masters of Heaven’s Cavern realized their own thoughts were also being affected, and they were increasingly astonished.
"Thus, today we relive history, recreating the outcome!"
The seventh stepped forward and recited the seventh incantation.
Boom!
A terrifying wave of Spirit Law erupted, and a sacred song… no, a Dao song rang out. Countless people sang loudly, the content twisting and unreadable, the sounds chaotic. It was the language of gods and demons, thoughts from beyond life, completely unintelligible to anything existing outside of life.
In that moment, the two Masters of Heaven’s Cavern suddenly understood and yelled in unison:
"You dare!"
"You actually did it!"
Their attitudes were completely different.
But they had to face this strike together.
Thousand Crafts Honored Being, as the final speaker, uttered the last incantation:
"—Great Annihilation Chaos Sword!"
The Creation Artifact, transformed into a Fantasy Artifact, unleashed its full power, causing the world to collapse, converging into a single point. The great annihilation began!
This was, in theory, an invincible force capable of taking the Masters of Heaven’s Cavern down with it, erasing all traces.
Except for the True Immortal magic, there were no laws that could cross worlds to trace back. Even Cave Techniques would find it difficult.
Once the universe collapsed, even if the Path Lord personally descended in the future, nothing could be discerned; the void was nothingness, devoid of records.
Swish, swish, swish…
The sound of pages turning echoed.
Yun Ye held a scripture that was indescribable, so obscure that outsiders could not even look at it. The title read "Nine Lives" in the elegant script of dragons and phoenixes.
"Very good, not a single detail is off. Is this the effect of the unification of the three Spirit Sense True Immortal magics? Terrifying, terrifying, I am scared!"
He yawned, feeling a bit fatigued, but honestly quite satisfied.
The Nine Lives Classics was a treasured text that had been demoted from the Dao Classics, longing to return to its original status. It searched for a successor and was ultimately seized by Yun Ye, playing a significant role in his research.
However, in the course of his subsequent life, Yun Ye rapidly grew stronger, even touching upon Cave Techniques, Future Techniques, and Limitless Techniques, making the Nine Lives Classics less important. He did not specifically seek to elevate the Classics but simply forgot it in a corner.
Yet, despite not focusing on it, he walked the right path all along.
For the Nine Lives Classics to regain its status, it needed either to generate an impact significant enough to change the entire era or for Yun Ye to become a True Immortal.
Without a doubt, modifying the world’s rules a second time had met the elevation conditions.
However, this elevation was like tomorrow—it required a slumbering process, not an immediate elevation. To ensure he could directly obtain the Nine Lives True Immortal magic in his next life, Yun Ye left the Nine Lives Classics to Shui Wuge, allowing her to gain an even more absolute suppressive power.
In reality, the Nine Lives Classics had suddenly completed its elevation over three thousand years ago, transforming into the brand new Nine Lives Dao Classics.
It was during this period that the Celestial Empire officially entered the multiverse era.
Although Yun Ye felt that leaving the Red Heaven realm would create some waves, it wasn’t complete, so he brought out the Nine Lives Dao Classics—
Even if the Nine Lives Dao Classics was entrusted to Shui Wuge, it had its own spirit and would still obey his command. With a single thought, it could return to his hands without alarming anyone, except for the current holder, Shui Wuge.
……
Heavenly Dry Universe.
At the central highest academy, the Grand Auditorium.
Several Honored Beings opened their eyes, gazing at an ordinary book placed on the podium.
Hmm?
Did the New Heaven Canon undergo some change?
It felt as if something had been drawn away?
After several glances, the Honored Beings left in confusion, unable to find the reason.
