Chapter 2223 - 2220: Inverted Sky

Tang Kui sincerely offered his praise.

Ye Xuan, however, had no intention of exchanging words with Tang Kui and leaped away, disappearing from the land of Dingzhou.

This time, Tang Kui’s mood was much calmer.

After all, he had already witnessed Ye Xuan’s invincibility before.

Now it was just another witnessing.

Tang Kui continued his enlightenment outside the Death Netherworld, seeking the breakthrough opportunity.

After all, he hadn’t reached the end of the Emperor Road and needed more power to support him to go further.

Although most people are knocked off the Emperor Road prematurely.

Tang Kui was still unwilling to accept this.

This is a golden era.

For this reason, he sealed himself away nine thousand years ago, waiting for this era.

Unexpectedly, in this era, he encountered even more peerless existences.

He also hasn’t reached the expectations he set for himself, unable to make it to the end.

In this way, the Great Emperor seems even further away.

In this grand era of competition, he needed to exert all his strength to cross the river!

Not hoping to catch up with a monster like Ye Xuan, but just to see the other’s silhouette in the distance, not to fall too far behind.

Such matters.

Actually happened in many places.

Including those on the Emperor Road following Ye Xuan, like the Heavenly Pool Minor Roc King, Monk Wenchen from the isolated mountain in Yellow State, Cui Feng the chief disciple of the Feather Mountain Ancient Sect, Mei Qianshan the heir of Purple Cloud Demon Sect in Heavenly State, Lei Cang from the Heavenly Thunder Dynasty in Xuanzhou, and Cao Yi from the Evergreen Immortal Sect in Qing State.

These peerless geniuses on the Mystic Yellow List.

Dubbed as reserve Emperors, these peerless prodigies.

Also were knocked off the Emperor Road.

But truly disheartened, there were basically none.

Being knocked off the Emperor Road could not extinguish their willpower.

On the contrary, after traversing such a long Emperor Road, their Dao Heart and will became even stronger; they knew they had fallen behind, so they would work twice as hard.

Fortunately, the suppression of Heavenly Dao in the outer world was almost completely lifted, and the spiritual energy of all heavens and myriad realms had greatly recovered, surpassing even nine thousand years ago, enabling people to focus more on cultivation rather than thinking about how to make do with the scant remaining cultivation resources.

When the End of Dharma Era descended, why did so many strong individuals either heed the Double Emperors’ call to the Heavenly Domain or seal themselves in the lower realm.

It was because when the End of Dharma Era arrived, nature’s spiritual energy declined, cultivation resources between heaven and earth sharply reduced; not to mention advancing further in cultivation, even maintaining one’s realm without decline was considered extraordinary.

This also explains why there was such a severe gap of strong practitioners during these nine thousand years.

And with the End of Dharma Era coming to a close, heralding the golden era, these celestial prodigies emerged madly like bamboo shoots after the rain.

When Ye Xuan left Dingzhou, he had already sensed that Dingzhou also had many Great Saint Realm experts.

Perhaps they came from the Heavenly Domain to the lower realm, but there were also those who had stepped into the Great Saint Realm from being an Invincible Great Sage.

Ye Xuan temporarily had no time to concern himself with these changes, as he still had to traverse the remaining forbidden lands.

As of now, he had only traversed the Endless Sea and Death Netherworld locations, with seven more forbidden lands awaiting him.

Closest to Dingzhou are the lands of two other states.

Respectively Daozhou Land and Hong State Land.

Ye Xuan planned to go to Hong State first.

The Dao Chu Ancient Land in Daozhou, Ye Xuan planned to go there last.

The forbidden land of Hong State.

The Inverted Sky.

This is also one of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions.

And according to the ruler of the Endless Sea, this place is different from the three ancient forbidden lands, Dao Chu Ancient Land, Great Ruins, and Thunder Pond, whose origins even the ruler of the Endless Sea does not know.

Ye Xuan had come to the Inverted Sky eight times.

But each time was fruitless.

This forbidden land, for Ye Xuan, was the least rewarding forbidden land.

Compared to other forbidden lands, the Inverted Sky seems more like a natural spectacle.

The entire sky dome appeared as if it had been artificially inverted.

Vast and magnificent, breathtaking.

Moreover, once entering the domain of the Inverted Sky, a very astonishing suction force would draw the cultivators in.

Usually, many young people would visit here for sightseeing.

However, after the recent disturbances in the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions, countless Hong State cultivators were sucked in and crushed into blood mist, and now barely anyone comes here anymore.

It was at this point that people seemed to remember that this forbidden land was indeed notoriously fearsome as one of the Xuanhuang Nine Prohibitions.

Unlike the past when numerous cultivators visited here for sightseeing, now the Inverted Sky felt eerily desolate.

Even though it was located in the very center of Hong State.

When Ye Xuan arrived, he first glanced at the distant Primordial Hall, then leapt straight towards the Inverted Sky.

Boom!

As he approached the Inverted Sky, he immediately felt a terrifying pull that seemed to want to tear Ye Xuan apart entirely.

One could thus understand how those cultivators were crushed into blood mist.

These pulling forces were extremely chaotic; without enough strength, one would be instantly torn to pieces and utterly die.

But for Ye Xuan, this was nothing.

Ye Xuan followed that force, flying deeper into the Inverted Sky.

The Inverted Sky hovered in the air, like an inverted sky dome.

And deeper inside, it seemed like a black hole.

Somewhat resembling the Zero Domain.

As Ye Xuan delved further, a peculiar, profound force slowly emanated from within, making one’s scalp tingle.

Ye Xuan was not surprised by this.

After all, he had been here eight times before.

Thus, Ye Xuan went all the way deep, entering the deepest part of the Inverted Sky.

The endless pulling force completely vanished.

As if entering a Zero Domain where everything was in a state of prohibition.

It felt like arriving at the edge of the universe.

Exploring the ultimate secrets.

Ye Xuan floated there silently, but his eyes were constantly moving, observing the surroundings.

Out of the Nine Great Immortal Treasures, he already acquired eight.

But he hadn’t yet found the Immortal Treasure representing the Eternal Immortal Body, nor did he know if it’s in this Inverted Sky.

Or perhaps it had already been preempted by someone else?

Not impossible.

Having conducted the usual inspection, Ye Xuan still found no useful clues.

This Inverted Sky seemed like the purest forbidden land.

With only the force that could tear everything apart, and this absolute prohibition state at the end.

One of extreme movement, and the other of extreme stillness.

Like Taiji Yin Yang Two Forms.

Ye Xuan closed his eyes, letting the Immortal Profound Power envelop him, then activated his Emperor Soul.

Buzz————

At this moment.

A faint ripple appeared in the ’Immortal’ character deep within Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul, but it was very subtle.

Even more subtle than when visiting other forbidden lands.

Buzz————

Unexpectedly, the ’Xuan’ character, which had never shown any change, actually exhibited a ripple.

Waves of pitch-black energy resonated within Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul, seemingly performing a baptism on Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul felt a series of shocks.

Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed tightly.

Having his Emperor Soul attacked, it is a pain that comes from the soul.

But Ye Xuan merely furrowed his brows.

These shocks lasted for a moment.

Boom!

And then in the next moment.

Ye Xuan was engulfed in boundless darkness, losing consciousness.

Unable to perceive anything.

An endless darkness surged down like a tide, completely submerging Ye Xuan.
