Chapter 2484
byPreviously, in that Sea of Origin, countless martial artists fought fiercely for the Origin Power, and it was unknown how many people fell ed. All those dead martial artists fell into the Sea of Origin and disappeared without a trace.
Unexpectedly, they were all swallowed here in the end.
That jade slip no longer existed either. When he was swallowed here just now, Yang Kai felt that the jade slip in his hand suddenly burst ed and turned into a strange energy lingering beside him as if protecting him.
After he entered this place, that energy also vanished without a trace.
Looking at it this way, the function of that jade slip was the guarantee to enter this place. If there was no such jade slip, Yang Kai didn’t know what consequences there would be if he was swallowed here.
Before Wu Mengchuan died, he desperately wanted to destroy the jade slip. Obviously, he didn’t want the jade slip to fall into the hands of others, so as not to enter this place. What secrets are hidden in this place after all？
What was that old man’s purpose for entering here？
Yang Kai’s expression was uncertain, looking around but finding nothing. Even when he released his spiritual thoughts, he couldn’t detect the old man’s aura.
After pondering for a moment, his gaze shifted to the blood on the ground and he rushed in the direction where the blood was converging.
No matter what place this is and what secrets are hidden, the direction where these blood is flowing is probably the root source.
This strange world seemed very large. Yang Kai walked for a full over an hour, and the scenery around didn’t change at all. If it weren’t for his extraordinary perseverance, he might have thought that he was still standing still.
After an hour, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly moved and he looked up in a certain direction.
He heard some cracking sounds from that side. Looking over, there were faintly some rays of light blooming, and from time to time, some powerful fluctuations of strength were transmitted from that side.
Someone was fighting over there！
Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed, revealing a surprised expression. Because he had only seen the old man enter here alone before. If there was really someone fighting over there, one of them must be that old fellow, and who was the other person？
Judging from the fluctuation of that power. The strength of the person fighting against him seemed extremely. Yang Kai didn’t know exactly how capable the old man was, but it was certain that an ordinary Emperor Senior Stage was by no means his opponent.
The person who could fight with him so fiercely. How could he be an ordinary person？
There was actually a powerhouse in this damned place？
Yang Kai felt even more confused. Out of curiosity, he couldn’t help but speed up and rush towards that direction. At the same time, he employed the Void Secret Technique to hide his own aura.
The closer he got to that side, the more obvious the aftermath of the battle became.
After the time it took to burn an incense stick, Yang Kai hid behind a small hill and peeked forward furtively. What he saw made his face change drastically and his heart tremble with horror.
That old man was indeed over there at the moment, standing proudly in the void, his clothes fluttering and his black hair flying. There was a sense of indifference and vicissitudes in that back view, and a true sense of detachment and indifference.
Not far in front of him, the skeleton seen through the black hole before was sitting cross-legged. However, it was not quite the same as before. Some flesh and blood had actually grown on the bones of this skeleton. Those pieces of flesh and blood were crimson red, absorbing the blood flowing over from all around and constantly wriggling and multiplying.
The blood in the entire world seemed to be converging towards that skeleton.
At this moment, the flesh and blood on the skeleton was not much. It seemed that it had just started to grow. It couldn’t even completely cover the bones. But in this way, the skeleton looked even more terrifying and horrible.
The skeleton made a mysterious seal with its hands, and an astonishing devouring force came from the white bones, constantly devouring the blood around.
And whenever this happened, the old man would launch an extremely fierce attack, blocking the flow of those blood and preventing the skeleton from devouring.
The powerful aftermath of the attack bombarded on the skeleton, but it didn’t move at all.
Such a situation had lasted for an unknown amount of time. The old man tirelessly exerted his strength, and large swathes of converging blood were evaporated and scattered.
But there was really too much blood in this world. Even if the old man kept stopping it, there were still more blood converging from all directions, trying to pour into the skeleton.
Yang Kai forcibly endured the shock in his heart, and his face was slightly pale.
Because he actually felt a breath of life from that skeleton. Although it was very weak, like a candle flame that could be extinguished at any time in the wind and rain, but it was indeed vitality without a doubt.
In other words, that skeleton was actually alive！
No one has ever been able to clearly explain which Great Emperor this skeleton belonged to. However, based on various clues that Yang Kai obtained, he guessed that it was very likely the skeleton of the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor.
It was rumored that the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor was beaten to the point of having his soul and spirit completely annihilated in the Battle of the Great Emperors tens of thousands of years ago and had long been dead beyond any doubt. But now it seems that this rumor was wrong.
If this skeleton was really that of the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor, then it meant that the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor had not died but had only fallen into some kind of deep sleep. The blood that had converged here might be the opportunity for his reawakening！
Yang Kai suddenly remembered that during the life-and-death battle with Wu Mengchuan earlier, Wu Mengchuan had said a sentence that he cared very much about.
He said that a person like his ancestor, how could he die so easily！
So it seems that Wu Mengchuan seemed to know some inside information. After all, he was a descendant of the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor. It wasn’t too strange for him to know that his ancestor was still alive in the world.
He even knew that his ancestor was hidden here and was ready to use the jade slip to enter this place when the time was ripe. Unfortunately, in the end, he was killed by Yang Kai. Before dying, he wanted to destroy the jade slip…
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Yang Kai’s mind. He was almost certain that the skeleton was undoubtedly the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor. If the blood water here was really allowed to converge and he grew a physical body again, then the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor might be resurrected again！
Four Great Emperors died here in order to kill him back then. If the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor were to be resurrected, the Star Boundary would be in imminent danger.
Thinking of this, Yang Kai broke out in a cold sweat.
Just at this moment, a strange aura suddenly rippled out over there. At first, it was extremely weak, but as time passed, it gradually became stronger, as if a sleeping dragon was slowly waking up.
The old man standing in the void clearly also sensed this aura. His expression turned solemn, and his movements suddenly became much faster. All kinds of incredible yet extremely powerful secret techniques bloomed from his hands and rumbled towards the skeleton over there.
In an instant, the place where the skeleton was located shattered, and the void seemed to collapse.
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked forward. It was a long while before he snorted coldly.
When the dust settled, I saw that there was a blood-red wall over there at some point. It was extremely thick, and there were a lot of cracks on the wall-it blocked in front of the skeleton.It seemed that the previous attack had been completely blocked by this blood-red wall and did not hurt the skeleton in the slightest.
A sharp gaze suddenly shot out from behind the blood-light wall, as if coming across from ancient times, making the world icy cold.
“You’re awake！” The old man pouted unhappily.
The skeleton stared with a pair of unformed eyes, and there was faintly bright ghost fire beating in the eye sockets. After looking at the old man for a long time, the teeth opened and closed, and a creepy voice suddenly rang out： “Duan Hongchen？”
The old man laughed heartily and said unrestrainedly： “That’s right, it’s this old man. Wu Kuang, it’s rare that you still remember this old man after sleeping for so many years！”
The skeleton said coldly： “How could this seat forget your despicable face? What bad luck. The first thing I see when I wake up is actually you！”
Duan Hongchen smiled slightly and said： “Are you very disappointed？ Then who do you want to see？ Tell me, this old man can disguise himself as his appearance. You also know that this old man’s disguise technique is unrivaled in the world.”
The skeleton was silent and said after a while： “How long has this seat slept？”
Duan Hongchen’s expression became solemn and he said： “It’s been tens of thousands of years. Exactly how long, this old man doesn’t remember either.”
The skeleton sighed and said： “It seems that it has indeed been a long time.”
This one person and one skeleton chatted like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years, and there was no tense atmosphere at all.
In Yang Kai’s heart, who was hiding on a small hill in the distance, there were waves of shock！
The old man addressed that skeleton as Wu Kuang, which meant that he was indeed the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor！ The Devouring Heaven Great Emperor actually didn’t die but used a mysterious secret technique to sleep in this strange space for tens of thousands of years, just waiting for the moment of resurrection.
If this news spreads, I’m afraid the entire Star Boundary will boil.
And what shocked Yang Kai even more was the name of that old man.
Duan Hongchen！
Yang Kai had never heard of this name, but he had heard another title.
The Red Dust Great Emperor！
The Devouring Heaven Great Emperor Wu Kuang knew the old man, which indicated that the two were figures of the same era and the same status. And the only one who could match the name Duan Hongchen was that Great Emperor.
Was he really the Red Dust Great Emperor？
Yang Kai was so shocked that he could hardly breathe. Earlier, the old man said that the next time he saw Wen Zishan, he would ask Hall Master Wen to drive Yang Kai out of the sect. Yang Kai even teased him.
Who would have thought that this teasing would come true.
If the old man was the Red Dust Great Emperor, it was also possible, because it was rumored that the Red Dust Great Emperor had always been unrestrained and played in the mortal world. The various styles of the old man that Yang Kai knew were all in line with this.
The reason why Yao Si obediently left and even showed a humble expression was probably because he knew his identity.
But what’s going on with this cultivation level？
The strength of the Red Dust Great Emperor is sky-high. How could he only have the third level of the Dao Source Realm？
This question not only puzzled Yang Kai, but Wu Kuang was also very curious.
“Why has your cultivation level dropped so much？”
“I self-cut my cultivation.” Duan Hongchen smiled slightly, not caring at all.
“Self-cut cultivation!” Wu Kuang’s eyes burst with Jingguang, and he said in a deep voice, “You were actually willing to do this?”
“If you don’t part with your child, you can’t catch the wolf！”
Wu Kuang seemed to understand something and said, “Could it be that you self-cut your cultivation and entered this place in order to find me？”
Duan Hongchen nodded and said, “Naturally. You may not know that after your death, the interface barrier here has become a bit fragile. The Emperor Venerable Realm cannot enter this place. If you want to come in, you can only do this.”
