Chapter 264: Ch 264: Destruction of Immortal World
Zhou Xuan waved his hand and summoned a little snake. Then he again waved his hand and the little snake darted towards the distance before disappearing from the sight of everyone.
Bang!
Unfortunately, the snake exploded all of a sudden, and dark blood splattered everywhere.
"Impossible," Zhou Xuan’s body trembled slightly. He had spent a great deal of energy creating this spiritual snake, but unexpectedly, he lost it all of a sudden.
"What happened?" Emrys, who was now Lu Moyu, turned to Zhou Xuan and asked.
"I... This place is strange."
"Everyone, show us what you’ve got, or else we’ll have to stay here forever." Ao Guang turned around and said to the people behind him in a deep voice.
Everyone followed Ao Guang’s words and was ready to unleash their strongest attacks.
Powerful auras rose in the sky and the surroundings fluttered with distorted air.
Seemingly sensing the appearance of powerful auras, multicolored light flashed in the sky and lightning rumbled as though they were the roars of the heavens.
Boom!
In an instant, everyone felt something pressing down on them, restraining their auras.
"This..." Sheng Yan was instantly dumbfounded.
Even Zhou Xuan said in astonishment, "How could this be?"
A person named Li Ji sighed, "What should we do now? This was our last resort!"
Emrys, now Lu Moyu, was about to say something when a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the surroundings.
The energy of Heaven and Earth started gathering around them from all directions.
After a few seconds, something started forming in the sky automatically. These were ancient runes.
Hundreds of ancient runes manifested in the sky.
For an entire hour, countless ancient runes naturally formed in the air one after another. Only then did the surge of energy slowly stop, causing everyone to heave a sigh of relief.
However, they still didn’t know what was happening.
Everything was too mysterious.
It was mainly true for Emrys, who understood everything but the entire thing was unfamiliar.
Doesn’t these stairs were meant for cultivators to climb?
Whoever can climb to the top can achieve immortality and ascend to Nine Heavens.
However, what is happening in the middle of the staircase of Heavens?
While he was still thinking, all ancient runes suddenly lit up, and a wisp of blue light was produced from them all that swept towards the distant void.
The blue light passed through the void in front of everyone and the space there suddenly fluctuated, slowly forming a white fissure.
This white fissure seemed to be a hidden path to another world, however, it was not yet fully formed.
It took more than fifteen minutes for a complete path to appear in front of everyone.
"What is that?"
"Are we supposed to enter that fissure?"
"I think so!"
For a moment, they were somewhat stupefied.
Lu Moyu looked at the fissure and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, we have no other choice. Perhaps we can only take this path. Let’s go!"
Zhou Xuan suddenly became a little worried. "What if we can’t get out after we enter? What if we enter but cannot ascend? What if we fail to become Immortals?"
The other powerhouses also showed worried expressions.
Their spiritual sense was restricted to the staircase of the heavens. Moreover, the sudden appearance of this fissure was suspicious. It was hard to tell if its appearance was a blessing or a curse.
Right at this moment, a cold intent erupted behind everyone. Following the appearance of the cold aura, a faint cry could be heard.
All of a sudden, the cold aura solidified into a blurry figure. This figure was not a human. Instead, it appeared more like a structure.
When the solidification of the aura was completed, everyone was shocked to see that it was a white door.
Now, there were two paths in front and behind everyone which made them more confused.
For a moment, they didn’t know what to do and what path to take.
The tall door that appeared behind everyone was made of white marble. Unlike the fissure, carvings of immortals slaying demons, immortals riding divine beasts, immortals overturning mountains and seas, immortals subduing dragons, and many such carvings were engraved on the surface of this door.
At this time, as if it remembered something, the White Moon Divine Wolf exclaimed, "I remember. We have to enter that door. That door is the true door that can lead us to the Land of Immortals where we can shade our mortality and become an Immortal before ascending to the Nine Heavens."
"What do you mean?"
It was not just Lu Moyu; everyone was confused.
The White Moon Divine Wolf explained patiently, saying, "In my inherited memory, there is a piece related to the Staircase of Heavens. In ancient times, a horrible battle erupted between two unknown divine figures that affected both the Mortal World and the Immortal World. Because the battle between those two divine figures occurred in the Immortal World, the Immortal World crumbled into several pieces. Only a small piece called the ’Land of Immortals’ was preserved. The staircase to heavens that connected the Mortal World to the Immortal World also shattered during that battle."
"After the battle, when both divine figures saw the destruction caused by their battle, they felt guilt. Due to their arrogance and carelessness, they ended up destroying the Immortal World, killing countless lives. It was also due to their battle that the Mortal World lost the chance of ascension forever."
"Since the Staircase of Heavens was born from the Heavenly Dao, they were unable to rebuild it. They also could not rebuild the Immortal World since it had already been destroyed. After much contemplation, both of them joined hands and built a path for ascension. They created a ’door to heaven’ on the damaged staircase to heaven. This door to heaven can lead to the ’Land of Immortals’. There, one can shade mortality and become an Immortal."
"However, because the Immortal World is already destroyed, they manipulated the laws of the heavens to create another path. After becoming an Immortal, cultivators can ascend directly to the Nine Heavens, which is a starry sky a level above Immortal World."
"As for that fissure, it is just a side-effect of so many alterations and destruction. Once entered, this path will lead a cultivator directly to the abyss, the home to abyssals. Abyss is a land standing against Nine Heavens, always on war."
