The Empress is in the Great Underworld?!This was an earth-shattering, deafening revelation that stirred people's minds. Could there be anything more astonishing than this?
For how many years had the world been searching for the Three Heavenly Emperors? Now, the whereabouts of the sole supreme Empress have been discovered?
Of course, only a limited number of families and the few top orthodoxies present truly knew about the Empress and understood how unparalleled and stunning she was in her time.
But in an instant, everyone calmed down, even the Fallen Immortal King families, whose emotions were no longer fluctuating so violently.
So many years had passed; if the Empress were still alive, she should have appeared long ago. Why was there no news of her?
Many people's faces grew serious, their hearts sinking.
The most likely explanation was that she had only passed through the Great Underworld back then.
In a bygone era, the ancients had heard that the Empress walked through the Burial Pit, pressing forward with unwavering resolve, and then stepped onto a bridge from which there was no return. She was never seen again.
People concluded that she had once passed through the Great Underworld.
"It seems, fellow Daoists, that you have guessed some things," the old man with a mouth full of yellow teeth said with a grin.
He then shook his head, saying, "The Empress didn't just pass through; she actually resided in our realm for quite a long time. It's just that the early ancients didn't know her identity."
The "ancients" he spoke of were powerful beings from a distant past, long before his time, having passed away countless eons ago. This suggested just how ancient the matter was.
At the same time, this made people's hearts pound and their souls tremble. The Empress had actually resided there? What did she do during that time?
"She was in seclusion, preparing, and also seemed to be waiting for someone. However, in the end, she didn't wait for them," the old man slowly recounted.
Even in the Great Underworld, such matters were closely guarded secrets, known to very few. Throughout history, only True Immortal-level beings and their direct disciples had ever heard whispers of them.
However, today was different from the past. A great upheaval was occurring, and all things in the heavens were on the verge of collapse. There was no future left, so these secrets no longer needed to be hidden.
"When the Empress entered seclusion, it was as if she were going to her death. Of course, this is how it seemed to us – very tragic and sorrowful. But for her, it was calm and steady," the old man continued.
The old man spoke of old events, some they had observed, others they had inferred.
The ancients of the Great Underworld sensed that the Empress, without hesitation, wished to forge a new path, a path that could allow all beings to survive.
Some ancients witnessed the Empress experimenting. She allowed herself to be swallowed by darkness, fully eroded by the gray mist, and even entered a pool of silver blood…
Upon hearing this, everyone was moved. Was she experimenting with her own life?
The ancients saw that the strange and inauspicious forces could not corrupt the Empress; they had no effect on her.
Yet, she unhesitatingly gave up all resistance, solely to allow herself to fall into darkness, while enduring the gray mist and becoming tainted by the inauspicious silver blood.
For a time, she truly descended into the abyss.
"She was trying to save us... by personally undergoing the trials, seeking and forging a path forward!"
A Fallen True Immortal spoke, his voice trembling. This was not the self from the dark abyss, but the beautiful aspiration and vision of his true self, desiring existence.
Then, without waiting for the yellow-toothed old man's response, he sighed. If the Empress had found a way to survive, why had she never returned?
The Fallen Immortal King families understood that a being of the Empress's caliber had no fear of the inauspicious. She sought to save all future generations who would follow their path!
"She completely fell into darkness…" the yellow-toothed old man said.
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.
The Empress was indeed stunningly brilliant through the ages, but could she succeed by actively sacrificing herself in this way?
"She returned. Her own power was simply too immense. Although she faced a situation where myriad tribulations converged and even supreme beings would perish, she still calmly overcame them."
However, while she herself could walk such a path, others could not.
Such a path could not be universal. Only the most extraordinarily talented individuals throughout history could traverse it. The Empress ultimately soared away, to step onto the Bridge of Death.
"In that era, she also seemed to be waiting for someone, but in the end, she waited for no one."
So, she departed, and from then on, was never seen in the world again.
It is rumored that throughout history, all beings who supposedly walked that bridge have died.
"The Burial Pit buries at least Heavenly Emperors!" the oldest Fallen True Immortal said deeply.
Relatively speaking, the Burial Pit was merely a "minor obstacle" to stepping onto that bridge. One could only imagine how terrifying the mist beyond and the other shore must be.
At this moment, even the normally arrogant Martial Lunatic was somewhat lost in thought, standing on the light cluster formed by time particles, his entire being exuding an undying aura, radiating oppressive power that tore at space and time.
Emperor Yu was on the other side, his body indistinct, dreamlike, his supreme aura undiminished. A being like him naturally gazed towards the opposite side of the broken path, with achieving emperorship as their ultimate goal.
Space vibrated, booming incessantly.
A blurry road flickered into view – the Samsara Road had reappeared!
Had Yaoyao angered this organization by continuously slaying Samsara Hunters and eliminating that team of mighty experts?
This time was particularly terrifying. A coffin appeared at the end of the blurry ancient road, exceptionally heavy, as if it could crush an entire great universe, emitting an aura of world destruction.
This was not merely an illusion; it seemed truly about to descend. Its entire body appeared to be dripping blood, a chilling red.
Furthermore, an aura spread out, locking onto the people from the Great Underworld, including the powerful yellow-toothed old man and Old Gu, who stood beside him.
"It's over!" Old Gu wailed in his heart. This was collateral damage.
However, the yellow-toothed old man remained unperturbed, showing no fear. He calmly spoke, saying, "There are nine such Celestial Coffins, aren't there? They originally interred some of the most incredibly important figures in history. Is it right for you to use them like this? Are you not afraid of the heavens collapsing, the earth shattering, and existence ceasing to be, from ancient times to the present? Your audacity is too great!"
Everyone was startled, including the Fallen Immortal King, hearing about such a momentous event. This ultimate being from the Great Underworld knew many things.
This... about the secret of the Samsara Road, could it be information left behind by the Empress?
"That One once created the Samsara Road to revive kin and friends, and even to bring back the people of that era. What gives you the right to dare to damage that Samsara Road?"
The yellow-toothed old man indeed knew world-shaking secrets. At his words, everyone on the Two Realms Battlefield turned pale, their souls trembling.
He actually mentioned That One. Only a small number of people, those who could access such secrets and were part of families standing at the peak of the pyramid like theirs, knew of a being referred to by such a title, one whose name dared not be spoken.
And they themselves had only gleaned fragments of information from incomplete records found on ruins, broken steles, and copper halls.
That One was too mysterious and too terrifying. As time flowed, everything about That One gradually faded, even for powerful Fallen True Immortals; if they didn't review the records for a period, the traces of That One in their minds would slowly disappear.
Any powerful being who understood and knew about That One held any shred of information about That One in immense regard!
First hearing news of the Empress, then again hearing the secret of That One – how could these two revelations not shock, even horrify, those present?!
And the Great Underworld actually knew all of this!
At this point, people deduced that this Samsara Road was likely created by That One.
It was different from the Underworld's Samsara Road!
It was truly awe-inspiring. For so many years, very few people knew this secret, believing all Samsara Roads were connected to the Underworld.
This particular one was special; it was reshaped by That One.
However, it seemed something had gone wrong.
"That One's path — I doubt you dare to tamper with it. But these nine Celestial Coffins on this path, do you dare to tamper with them?" the yellow-toothed old man demanded.
At this moment, upon hearing these words, everyone felt their scalps tingle. The nine ancient coffins, red as blood, were all connected to That One?
A group of old monsters felt their hair stand on end. Indeed, one wave had barely subsided when another rose!
What was the origin of the organization behind the Samsara Hunters?
"Naturally... we dare not."
A voice actually came from the end of the ancient road, near the vermillion great coffin, an ancient and mechanical sound wave spreading into the Yang World.
For a moment, all sides fell silent. No one could remain calm in their hearts; all were overwhelmed by sky-high waves of shock.
Was this truly the advent of the end of the world? All sorts of closely guarded secrets, the greatest mysteries from ancient times, were surfacing, and even the Samsara Road created by That One was revealed today.
"But the path seems to be changing. What is That One's condition? Will there be a change?!" The yellow-toothed old man's voice was very penetrating.
Not to mention the various races of the Yang World, even the Fallen Immortal King families were stunned into petrification, their souls trembling, having heard so many horrifying events today.
"Nine Celestial Coffins, interring extraordinary beings, including That One's own child, waiting to be revived. Do you dare to use them for your schemes?" the yellow-toothed old man asked sharply and sternly.
Immediately, whether old ultimate beings or Dark True Immortals, all were horrified, their souls almost leaving their bodies. The news they heard became increasingly world-shaking.
Was this truly a world-changing event, with immeasurable consequences about to unfold?
"Little Stone is still alive…"
At this moment, in the ancient land, on Broken Mountain, Jiudao Yi's eyes filled with tears. What had he just heard?
As he recalled that era, the divine voices of many departed people echoed in his mind. The battle had been too tragic, even That One's child had been sacrificed.
Now, he had actually heard that That One's only offspring was interred in a Celestial Coffin.
Jiudao Yi's face was streaked with tears. He was a witness to that era, having seen a generation's desolation.
In the past, for a time, he had believed that That One's child might have been revived. However, later signs indicated otherwise.
Now, he had not expected that the one who inherited from his father, who should have been peerlessly talented, had not dissipated, but was still there, interred in a Celestial Coffin!
Jiudao Yi could no longer hold back. He soared into the sky, also intending to go to the Two Realms Battlefield!
