Chapter 1851: 1851

Chapter 1851 – Part of the Truth

The creatures of darkness withdrew . The surface of the great earth was covered in scars, mountains and rivers eroded . Even now, there was still some black matter that remained .

This was an inner sea, within the depths of the great continent, but it was connected to the outer sea . It was pitch-black like ink, quiet and silent .

Shi Hao sat on the cliff, holding a fishing rod made from pure copper . He had already been fishing for a few months . His primordial spirit radiated in all directions, examining the rise and fall of the great dao, seeing the movements of the universe, understanding a bit of the truth of the seas and continents .

The number of darkness creatures became fewer, but they still existed . Comparatively speaking, they were a bit weaker, at the very least, there were no darkness supreme beings left, brought away by the original true creatures of the darkness world .

The creatures who remained, there were those from Self Release Realm all the way down to ordinary cultivators, all of them abandoned, not brought away .

After several decades passed, these creatures were no longer muddle-headed, obtaining their own consciousness, to the extent where some comparatively stronger individuals became no different from ordinary people .

What made Shi Hao shiver all over was that these creatures who developed their own consciousness were all in sorrow, all of them lamenting, carrying regrets, as well as endless sorrow .

They were reminiscing about their homeland, their family .

In their eyes, they were victims who were suppressed by the creatures of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, slaughtered, their homes taken, the territory they depended on to survive destroyed .

These creatures believed that the Nine Heavens Ten Earths were originally their homeland, but over half was then forcefully occupied . Their side’s clans’ experts all withdrew in defeat, leaving this great world .

They had their ancestral lands seized by devils, chased out of their homelands, now only a ruined world left . Fortunately, the devils also suffered serious casualties, the devil kings had no choice but to stop fighting, temporarily ending the conflict, stopping the bloody invasions on them .

This was the present situation those creatures acknowledged .

Shi Hao was a bit distracted . The darkness corroded these mountains and rivers . When those corpses developed wills, there were actually this type of terrifying primordial spirit imprints, the memories becoming truth .

These creatures of darkness were furious, in grief and sorrow . They roared out, feeling like they were victims, that they lost too much .

At this moment, Shi Hao felt like there was a wave of mysterious chilliness on his body . This ‘truth’ was still truly cruel, leaving him truly shaken, his brows furrowing tightly .

At this time, he thought of some old things .

He remembered that the first time he entered the other side, it was when he was still in Imperial pass, brought away by an all life source energy cauldron, entering a strange and ancient great world .

That was precisely the outer regions of the other side, the border region .

In that place, there were creatures just like in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, but in their hearts, what they felt and thought was completely different from this world . They believed that in the so-called ‘other side’ was fighting against devils, that they were the true victims .

Mo Dao, a young foreign expert who cultivated there strands of immortal energy, someone Shi Hao previously subdued, was precisely from that land .

He was subdued by Shi Hao, but in the end, he still didn’t change his beliefs . He always thought that in the endless years past, they were slaughtered, invaded, that they were left with no choice but to fight the Nine Heavens .

Different times, different lands, different creatures, but their past seemed similar!

This was like a reincarnation, recreating the events of the past .

Shi Hao sat on the cliff, thinking about the past and present . He knew some truths, feeling like this matter really was horrifying . It was actually like this!

Peng!

Shi Hao fiercely pulled on the fishing rod, the golden thread going taut . Then, a mountain ridge thick ancient Flood Dragon appeared, incredibly fierce . It raised its head, turning into a streak of dark light, diving down at Shi Hao .

Self Release Realm!

With a light flick of his finger, that ancient Flood Dragon that filled the heavens, surrounded by lightning and thunder, carrying chaotic energy, was blasted until it coughed out large mouthfuls of blood . It then quickly shrunk, falling down .

Shi Hao’s fingers moved out, holding it in place . He stared at it, examining it closely, and then said, “Forgot everything, as if his body had been seized by another . You believe that we are devils, that you all are victims, is that correct?”

“You are a devil!” This ancient Flood Dragon was extremely strong, having its own consciousness, no longer confused, capable of ‘reasoning’, and also ‘knew’ who the enemy was .

Shi Hao sighed, his interest waning . He threw it away, tossing it into the great black sea . With a putong sound, it turned back into its original form, becoming the size of a mountain ridge again, stirring up heaven overflowing waves .

“Does this mean that the so-called foreign realm creatures are all full of darkness, influenced by it?”

The other side expanded their territory, occupying large amounts of the Nine Heavens’ land, yet in the end, the creatures who lost their homes instead believed that it was Immortal Domain’s people who were devils .

The past events would always appear back on the surface .

Then, he recalled the undying king of the other side — Shutuo . There were rumors that he was an extreme evolved darkness being who rose up from the darkness .

Things were already like this, many truths now surfacing .

This was precisely the other side, more than half of the ancient ancestors came from darkness, maybe even more…

Shi Hao recalled the words of the lord of the restricted region . When the darkness matter had just begun to corrode the three thousand provinces, when clues first appeared, he had many doubts, so he went to ask that ruined soul for guidance .

The lord of the restricted region had said that the truth was more terrifying than he could imagine, that it was better if he didn’t know, or else it would deal a great blow to the conviction of the creatures in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths .

At that time, he still didn’t understand, but now that he obtained a portion of the truth, he indeed became silent .

Even the other side was related to darkness, Shutuo, this type of unmatched being actually rose up in darkness . Was there anything more strange and terrifying than this?

The Nine Heavens had previously fallen into the hands of the other side, this was only a portion of the darkness’ power .

Kacha!

The Nine Heavens Ten Earths completely collided, the Cultivationless Age truly arriving . Terrifying great waves began from this day!

Peng!

Even the cliff Shi Hao sat on exploded in this instant . It was because there was a wave of power within him that went out of control, rushing outwards .

Chi!

In the skies, there was a blade that quickly hacked over . It was snow-white and cold, a blade crushing heaven and earth, destroying eternity . Many stars fell, this place becoming extremely dazzling .

In midair, great stars descended one after another, all of them brought down by surging blade energy . However, when it approached this ocean region, they all exploded again, turning into fine powder .

The stars were being destroyed, crushed, the world beyond ripped apart . With Shi Hao at the center, and that long blade as the eye of the storm, the great void cracks interweaved, simply about to destroy the starry skies .

An age without cultivation approached, heaven’s will like a blade, ruthlessly hacking down .

Normal people couldn’t see this blade, because it was formless, a medium of dao . Only those directly involved could see it, that blade was dazzling to the extreme .

This blade descended, astonishingly horrifying .

Dang!

Shi Hao faced this attack . In an instant, sword imprints changed, varying from a Kun Peng Fist to Reincarnation Fist, and then a True Phoenix spread its wings, shaking the heavens with a fist . Finally, it was the Lightning Emperor’s imprint, smashing into the heavens .

His body shook intensely . The cliff below his feet turned into fine sand . Then, the entire black sea dried up, a giant basin appearing within .

Peng peng peng!

Star remains fell . In the skies, there were many stars that were swept down, exploding . However, there were also many remains that fell, smashing open the basin .

A Cultivationless Age began . This was the first impact, hacking down on Shi Hao . He forcibly resisted it, not suffering any damage . However, a large portion of the sky dome was instead destroyed .

At the same time, all cultivators in this great world suffered a blow without exception, the only difference the severity of the harm .

Despite this being the case, that day, a terrifying mortality rate still appeared before everyone’s eyes .

Almost a tenth of cultivators was cut down by the blade of heaven’s will, dying here .

“What is this? Why do things have to be like this? The Cultivationless Age is too cruel!” Someone cried out, face lacking all color, becoming extremely terrifying .

“The great dao is backlashing! There is no magic left in heaven and earth, this is how it is, or else why would Immortal Domain withdraw? We have now encountered the worst times!”

The same day, there was a tenth that fell from their original cultivation realm, their dao skills weakening, almost being crippled . These were extremely severe great dao injuries .

“An age without cultivation, the most terrifying aspect isn’t that the great environment doesn’t allow for cultivation, but rather the great dao’s ruthless blows again and again as it descends, as well as the world’s backlash . ”

The effects were continuing, this was just the beginning .

Several days later, many old cultivators died in succession, some of them having old wounds flaring out, some’s blood energy drying up, even more so just passing on peacefully .

Everyone sensed that the Cultivationless Age wasn’t just a joke . Everyone’s lifespans were decreasing . The older experts were all going to pass away in the near future .

“In the best age, true immortals appeared in the world of mortals, even immortal kings could be seen, yet we completely missed it . This age, haha… it truly is a rare cruelty! First, it was the undying kings who came knocking on our door, then darkness invaded, now, there is a cultivationless period, haha, life is but a dream . We might as well just reincarnate, treat this life as nothing more than a dream . Goodbye, this damned age!”

Someone said while laughing loudly, as if he was deranged . He lived over a million years, originally still hale and hearty, but in this age, in one day, it was as if he aged several hundred thousand years .

Just like him, many others quickly felt their lifespans withering away .

The terrifying effects continued . This world became more and more terrifying . The great world was devouring its own essence, swallowing up the six directions and eight wildernesses, absorbing all of the innate essence energy .
