Chapter 817 - 426: Demon of the Heavens
Maybe not everyone knows this, so I’ll mention it in advance.
This Diao is actually that Kun.
Of course, its scientific name is Kunpeng. It has two forms: Kun and Peng. There are two theories about when it changes forms.
One says that it will naturally change once it’s grown up, full, and satisfied. The other says it mainly depends on its own willingness.
Well, it’s all according to Kun, guaranteed authentic.
In any case, at this moment, Chen Xuantian was riding on Kun’s back, soaring through the Void, flying upward, drawing in his wings between heaven and earth, extending his neck at the edges of the rivers and seas, not knowing how many tens of thousands of miles he had flown through the void, until Kun said they had arrived and asked for a good review, thank you, and then Chen Xuantian climbed down from Kun’s back.
"Where the hell is this?"
Chen Xuantian looked around, only to see a vast dark void, with nothing solid beneath his feet, seemingly existent yet non-existent, as if wandering souls were drifting in the wind.
However, since Kun said they had arrived, they had indeed arrived. Sure enough, Chen Xuantian waited in the boundless void for a while, then suddenly felt heat.
Strange, truly strange, clearly it was the emergence of the Primordial Spirit, divine traveling through the void, where form and shadow didn’t exist, yet he felt heat.
No, it wasn’t even an illusion, because Chen Xuantian saw his blood boiling! Bubbling, blood thick swirling, like boiling water! Bubbles bursting into blood flowers! Boiling more and more furiously! Like thousands of blood and flesh screaming in unison!
Not right!
Swish—
Chen Xuantian quickly sidestepped!
Then a strong light! Penetrating the heavens and the earth, sweeping across the void! Nearly smashing him to bits!
This, what—
Dodge what! Go through the door!
Who knew suddenly someone pushed him from behind! Directly pushing Chen Xuantian into the light!
"Splash—"
"Ah—"
In that instant, the world spun, endless information, endless intelligence, endless perception flooded into Chen Xuantian’s sea of consciousness. In this whirlpool of light, his blood body was torn apart, reassembled, torn apart, reassembled, torn apart, adapted, reassembled...
In such an electrical moment, spun around dizzyingly, not knowing how many times he’d been torn to oblivion by the light flow, nor how many times he’d been reassembled and revived, seemingly just a moment, yet seeming like an eternity of torment before the world around Chen Xuantian suddenly quieted down, as if rapidly descending from the sky dome, finally setting both feet on solid ground.
Yes, at this time before his eyes was no longer a vast void, but a vast universe... uh, seems not much different...
Alright, still a difference, at least in this piece of void there were stars, and also a huge moon.
Yes, the moon, at least the one referred to as the moon in textbooks, incredibly large, exceptionally spectacular, as if within reach... not right...
Thus, Chen Xuantian turned around, looked to the other side, and saw a planet.
Hmm...
How to put it, this side was the moon, that side should be Earth, right? But why do the continental plates look a bit off? Why are they all patched together?
Moreover... if one side is Earth, the other is the moon... then where is he now?
Chen Xuantian lowered his head, carefully staring at the celestial body beneath his feet.
Not a meteorite, not a satellite, seems to be... mercury?
Of course, in theory, mercury cannot exist in a vacuum in nature, but Chen Xuantian wasn’t sure, after all, he currently didn’t have a body, merely an invisible ghost in the void, further not conforming to natural laws.
And what appeared before him at this moment, or rather observed through the observation spectrum simulated by Blood God’s son’s great method, was a flowing sea of liquid metal, a boundless silver surface, if likened to a natural material, mercury would be quite fitting.
However, if it’s not a creation of nature... really have no idea what it is...
Chen Xuantian attempted to wander on the mercury sea, on the mercury surface clearly reflecting the vast stars above, the moon overhead, the earth below. Like an extremely bright mirror, directly reflecting the primordial universe, heaven and earth of Qiankun, the realms of Yin Yang, yet couldn’t seem to capture the blood-colored figure walking alone on the sea, walking between two realms.
What the hell is this place! Side by side with the moon, could this be the Second Void, Taiyin Demon Palace? But where’s the Demon Palace? Where is the Heavenly Demon? Or is the Taiyin Demon Palace on that moon over there? Then what is this place?
Just as Chen Xuantian stared at the moon overhead, and the image in the mirror, lost in confusion, suddenly he saw ripples forming on the mercury sea.
Chen Xuantian immediately moved at divine speed towards the source of the ripples, then from a distance, he saw the mercury sea open up a colossal black hole, like a vast hollow lake, something slowly rising from the hole.
It was a nearly black, multifaceted crystalline polyhedron with many irregular planes, about the size of a peak of Nine Yin Mountain, anchored at the center by seven dragon-claw-like metal brackets, from afar looking like some kind of black crystal pillar, within the crystal faintly gleaming runes, containing vast amounts of information.
Chen Xuantian was just about to get a closer look when suddenly a premonition arose, the Blood God’s Son flickered sharply! As if some kind of cataclysmic death omen was descending!
This sixth sense had never been wrong, because having read too much of the Blood Talisman Scripture, Chen Xuantian knew full well, the core principle of the Blood God’s Son’s path was survival! To seek life in death! Even if skinned alive! Even if beaten to a bloody pulp! Crushed into paste! Life must go on!
"Blood Shadow Divine Movement—!"
So without hesitation, Chen Xuantian gave his all, breaking free from the constraints of the mercury star, lunging straight into the vast void of the universe!
