Chapter 1852 - Goodbye Meng Tianzheng

This was the tragedy of this era, the misfortune of cultivators. All those who were cultivators suffered under the blade of heaven’s will. There were some who stuck it through, some who were crippled, and others who passed away.

In just two weeks, the lower ranks of the cultivation world suddenly increased in number, while twenty percent of all cultivators either passed on in meditation, or their great dao injuries flared out, departing this world while carrying bitterness and unwillingness.

This was a miserable great world that didn’t lack geniuses or stunning individuals. However, in this age of decline, they could only raise their heads and sigh that they were born at the wrong time.

A month later, apart from a small number, ninety-nine percent of cultivators who had lived over a million years were eradicated. If they didn’t stumble upon any special natural luck, not possessing undying matter, their flesh would immediately decay, primordial spirits collapse.

There were some who personally saw an elder at the peak of Self Release, someone who cultivated the golden body of the ancient monk lineage have his golden body forcibly shattered under the blade of time, his primordial spirit turned to light, erased from this great world.

“Who can save me?”

The man of great virtue -- Zheng De, wailed in the Nine Heavens above. He had a stalk of divine medicine, and also had undying matter, but it still wasn’t enough to preserve his life.

He was a half supreme being, and he also had a great reputation, someone who was influential, received the respect of many.

However, when the great calamity descended, the world devouring itself, he became no different from an elder with one foot in the grave, unable to change a preset fate.

Divine medicines lost effect, not having their original effects, the entire stalk becoming dim and without light.

Zheng De was degenerating. His powerful body broke apart in one day's time, and then his primordial spirit quickly split apart to pieces, unable to maintain its original most powerful state.

This world drew out a red dividing line for everyone. The lifespans of all creatures had a limit, someone like him had already lived for too long, so the blade of heaven’s will possessed the greatest power against people like him!

After holding on for several days, Zheng De released a miserable scream, his magical body collapsing piece by piece, primordial spirit burning. He was forcibly refined by the great dao, returning to nothingness.

The road of cultivators was precisely a path of defying the heavens, acquiring the foundational essence energy of heaven and earth to strengthen the self, continuously increase the original destined lifespan of a hundred years.

In the end, the world began to devour itself, rebounding. If one couldn’t truly transcend above, then everything would still return to nothing, return to their original form.

The so-called Cultivationless Age was precisely this. The world had a type of balance; when so much was received, the day would come when it would be taken back in some form.

Everyone discovered a horrifying reality. When the Cultivationless Age arrived, after three months of intense changes, divine medicines degenerated, spiritual medicines became weak, their effects weakening.

The so-called divine medicines couldn’t retain their title of divine anymore!

It was because these exceptionally great medicines all lost their spirituality, unable to speak anymore. Their consciousness became blurry, as if they had their sentience erased.

Hong!

Heaven and earth shook intensely. Whenever there was a great disturbance, there would be tremendous harm inflicted onto cultivators. This was the true most terrifying time!

“It’s irreversible! Heaven and earth have deficiencies, a Cultivationless Age descending, even immortal medicines degenerating!”

This was a cry of alarm that came from a life restricted region, even the voices of giants trembling. One could see just how frightening the scene was this time.

“How could this be? I have already fled! It truly is a pity, out of fear of being eaten, I didn’t dare slip into Immortal Domain. This time, I’m dead for sure!” The White Tortoise Carrying Immortal cried out in alarm.

If Shi Hao was here, he would definitely recognize this as a stalk of long life immortal medicine -- White Tortoise Carrying Immortal!

This was indeed the case. Even long life medicines degenerated, the undying matter within them and imperishable true essence weakening, no longer as great as before.

A year later, the world stabilized a bit. The White Tortoise Carrying Immortal was scared half to death, only when it saw that its condition was no longer worsening, did it slightly release a breath of relief.

The environment of heaven and earth continued to worsen, divine medicines completely gone, or perhaps they could be said to have degenerated to a point where they were no longer in the divine medicine category, unable to speak anymore.

Long life medicines degenerated to the divine medicine level!

This type of medicine, a complete stalk originally carried enough essence to allow one to ascend, achieve immortality, yet now, there was no way to do so again.

The only fortunate thing was that the White Tortoise Carrying Immortal discovered that it could still fly, its consciousness still there, just becoming a bit more muddle-headed, not as great as before.

It could fly through the sky and escape through the earth, difficult to capture, but the medicinal effects truly declined.

The White Tortoise Carrying Immortal was sure that the world’s environment would only worsen, and it might even completely lose its intellect. It could only rely on its instincts to seek out some natural luck and avoid calamity. If it wanted to recover its true spirit, it had to wait a great era, when the world recovered, only when the Cultivationless Age disappeared, would its abilities return.

The old tortoise shed tears, feeling extremely grieved. After an endless amount of time, it would lose itself, not even be itself anymore. Just what degree would it degenerate to? This really was a terrifying thing to think about.

“Will there really be a reincarnation? Just I alone already seem to have experienced a reincarnation, becoming uncultured, muddle-headed. After millions and millions of years, would I still be myself?”

The old turtle released a long sigh, its mood complicated.

At this moment, it suddenly began to think, was the greater reincarnation actually even more vast, the amount of creatures involved even greater?

In the restricted region of the Nine Heavens above, a giant woke up from its fearful thoughts. He was assessing just how great the Cultivationless Age’s influence would be, just what degree it would reach.

During these heaven and earth changes, cultivators had already been weakened by fifty percent!

While this world was in unrest, Shi Hao was continuously cut by the blade of heaven’s will. Each time there was a slight fluctuation, it would come searching for him, really wishing to exterminate both his body and spirit.

“I am still young, at the very least, I can live ten thousand years, don’t waste your time with me anymore. Hurry and go look for that ruined immortal, or kill Jin Taijun!” Shi Hao said to himself.

During these great changes, he was extremely daring, going against the blade of heaven’s will, rushing upwards, refining his own dao.

It could be said that with the descent of this Cultivationless Age, when the world was devouring itself, many great daos appeared, interweaving together, slaughtering the creatures of all different clans, cutting down the cultivation levels of all cultivators. This was like a type of refining.

For Shi Hao, in the end, that heaven’s will dao became a streak of light, then turning into a great furnace, submerging him, refining him a hundred times over.

He was cultivating the dao, going against the will of heaven, practicing his own methods, refining his supreme being self.

All methods were used together, all types of precious techniques splitting the heavens. During this process, there were some types of methods that merged together, refined by the furnace, automatically returning to one.

It was extreme speed!

The Kun Peng technique appeared, reigning powerfully above ninety thousand li.

An Immortal Phoenix spread its wings, not satisfied with even the blue dome of heaven from past until now.

Lightning Emperor rebuked heaven and earth, a pair of lightning wings moving, the universe unable to restrict him.

The three law force wings merged into one, becoming primal chaos wings. With a light shake, not only was there terrifying destructive force, incomparable, the most foundational ability appeared -- extreme speed.

Shi Hao warped and weaved through the world. When he was flying, with just a touch, it was as if time flowed in reverse, time fragments swirling about, the scene incredibly horrifying.

His speed was too fast, able to instantly travel across the universe. He rushed from one starry domain to another. Recently, he had always been exploring the endless starry sky of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths after it merged back into one.

This was how he was taking advantage of this situation. When the Cultivationless Age descended, his dao skills weren’t reduced, instead refining this pair of primal chaos wings. With these wings, he was absolutely unstoppable, instantly crossing millions and millions of li.

Peng!

That day, Shi Hao raised a piece of meteorite, coldly overlooking the great earth below. Then, he tossed it with all his strength. This was a half of a star, burning as it flew towards where Immortal Palace was located.

Honglong!

Raging flames burned the heavens, fiery light submerging the great earth!

This was a supreme being level attack, but it didn’t crush this place. With the immortal dao bronze palace standing guard, as well as the activation of a world shocking formation, brilliant light shone, covering this entire ancient land.

The star remains shattered, turning into ashes.

“Huang, you still dare come here, challenge my dignity? Are you tired of living?!”

This was the roar of the ruined immortal, sounding from the depths of the earth.

A gray-robed figure carrying immortal energy spread his hands, tearing apart heaven and earth, rushing out just like that to kill Shi Hao.

However, there was another figure that was even faster than him. He held a Darkness Immortal Gold mace, directly brandishing it. It carried immortal dao symbols, horrifying to the extreme.

Peng!

That figure in outer space immediately erupted, crushed to pieces by the Darkness Immortal Gold mace, exploding between heaven and earth.

“Huang is dead!” Immortal Palace’s people shouted.

At this time, the ruined immortal rushed over, his expression cold, saying deeply, “That youngster really is cautious, actually only sending over a fake body condensed from magical force.”

In the distance, Shi Hao was rather surprised. This was a Cultivationless Age, yet he actually saw a true immortal who colluded with Immortal Palace’s ruined immortal, waiting to ambush him.

It was clear that the other party anticipated that he would come to look for trouble, just not that this day would come so early.

“He won’t be able to escape. I’ve already sensed where he is. When I capture him, I will immediately return to Immortal Domain!” That Darkness Immortal Gold mace wielding middle-aged man said indifferently.

“You can’t just directly kill him?” The ruined immortal said.

“I already gave you quite the face, going all out with the first strike. If it was the true body, he would have already been killed, who would have thought that he would be this cunning.” The true immortal said calmly.

“Chase after him!” The ruined immortal moved. He wanted to act out first, kill Huang before this person.

However, what left him stunned was that he actually couldn’t catch up!

What was going on with this youngster, why was this situation so strange? His speed was comparable to a true immortal’s? The ruined immortal was immediately stunned.

“Where do you think you are going?” That middle-aged man also began to chase after him.

However, Shi Hao’s speed was too fast, exceeding his predictions. They actually couldn’t close the distance at all.

Hong!

He took action. The Darkness Immortal Gold mace in his hands immediately crushed a large group of stars, countless starry remains turning into smoke, this sky dome completely becoming dark.

However, none of it touched Huang.

“Younger generation, if you still don’t stop, don’t blame me for acting viciously instead of just capturing you!” The middle-aged man said coldly.

“If you can catch me, then feel free to do what you wish. If you cannot, then the day will come when I personally deliver you to the immortal killing chopping board!”

Suddenly Shi Hao was horrified. A streak of scarlet multicolored light flew over, carrying immortal dao aura, almost hitting him. All of the surrounding great stars exploded.

Shi Hao moved his wings. The primal chaos wings moved, leaving this star domain.

Another true immortal appeared here, wishing to capture and kill him.

“Restricted region dao brother, I must thank you. I really have troubled you this time by asking you to come.” The middle-aged man holding the Darkness Immortal Gold mace said.

“This is the only time. All favors will now return to the natural flow, I will no longer get involved.” The restricted region true immortal said emotionlessly.

Shi Hao was horrified. Just now, it was too dangerous. He was almost killed.

He didn’t stop here anymore, turning around and leaving, sensing that things were troublesome. This time, he encountered a great disaster, if he wanted to escape, he likely had to pay quite the price.

This was still the result when he cultivated extreme speed. Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly died!

“Younger generation, if you do not stop, I won’t consider capturing you alive, I will just directly kill you!” In the back, the middle-aged man who held the Darkness Immortal Gold mace said coldly.

Hong!

The palm of the  true immortal from the restricted region descended. This sea of stars erupted, star fragments flying about piece after piece, exploding. Then, this star system became eternal darkness.

It still didn’t cover Huang who had extreme speed, he escaped.

However, precisely at this moment, a wave of strange and terrifying inauspicious aura spread, pressing over from that eternal darkness. There was a gate there.

A figure stood there upright and unafraid, his face as if carved from blades, pupils cold like stars. He was handsome and steadfast, body tall and slender, bold and straight.

Ah!

Even Shi Hao who was usually calm, who hadn’t really lost himself after all these years, at this time, still couldn’t help but release a cry. Then, tears almost fell.

“Great Elder!” He screamed out.

That figure was just as upright and tall as before, still maintaining the appearance from before he disappeared back then, still extremely young, at his prime. His battle clothes were in tatters, entire body covered in blood, black hair scattered about. It was just like back then, heroic and valiant!

Even after all these years, Shi Hao had detested those enemies in Desolate Border so greatly, cherishing the past years, wishing to become stronger. He had dreamt about returning to Imperial Pass, hoping to prevent Great Elder’s miserable tragedy of death!

Great Elder achieved immortality, but it still amounted to nothing. That battle was just too tragic.

After the battle of Desolate Border, he could no longer be seen.

Who would have thought that he would actually appear at this time, after so many years passed!

Only, he stood in the darkness, carrying inauspicious aura, a terrifying malevolent power surrounding him.

“Who are you?!” The Darkness Immortal Gold mace wielding true immortal shouted.

In addition, he brandished the weapon in his hands, striking outwards.

Great Elder slowly unfolded his hand. He truly was handsome, in his golden years, looking to be around twenty something years of age. Apart from his face being a bit pale, he was no different from the past Meng Tianzheng.

Hong!

Immediately afterwards, heaven and earth collapsed, inauspicious energy surged.

A hand slowly descended, grabbing that true immortal’s weapon -- the Darkness Immortal Gold mace.

Moreover, the true immortal seemed to have encountered something terrifying. He released a cry, and then that place was drowned under darkness. A figure separated from the true immortal, slowly dragging his body away!
