Suddenly, Su Changkong felt a buzzing in his brain as a voice spoke an ancient language he couldnât comprehend at all. It was like some kind of magical curse, containing a terrifying power that almost shattered his Sea of Consciousness, and his Primordial Spirit did everything to protect Su Changkongâs Sea of Consciousness.
Otherwise, under the force contained in this ancient language, his Sea of Consciousness would collapse, a power that brings death and burial.
"Elder Su!"
Jiang Yao and the others all felt a shock in their hearts. They couldnât hear the ancient voice, but they all saw Su Changkongâs unstable aura and the pain and distortion that appeared on his face.
The Dragon Snakeâs eyes flashed with fierce light. Although it didnât understand what was happening to Su Changkong, it could roughly guess that the Divine Envoy had made a move. With Su Changkongâs current state, if it took the opportunity to strike, it could easily kill him!
But before the Dragon Snake could act, a terrifying feeling enveloped it, causing it to abruptly stop, clearly a warning from the Divine Envoy!
"Why..."
The Dragon Snake couldnât understand the Divine Envoyâs intention, but it could only wait, not daring to act rashly or cross any line.
Meanwhile, Su Changkong was in a strange state, influenced by the ancient language. Apart from his Sea of Consciousness almost collapsing, he saw a scene that shocked him!
In a world filled with wildness, towering mountain peaks stood tall, and massive trees that blocked out the sun were innumerable. In the sky and on the land, various precious birds and Alien Beasts flew about.
There were colossal beasts with three eyes, tiger-like in shape and as large as mountains, seemingly able to see through the netherworld.
There were creatures lurking in the deep sea, over a hundred miles long, resembling true dragons.
There were Divine Birds slumbering and achieving Nirvana within volcanoes, their bodies made entirely of flames!
It was an era like that of myths, where countless beings and True Beasts only known in legends occupied this land, ancient and wild, where all creatures struggled to cross over, creating numerous rare and exotic locales, countless Sacred Medicines and Spirit Fruits found everywhere.
But one day, suddenly, the sky darkened, bleeding, and blood poured down like waterfalls, drowning the earth. The sky was as if torn open by countless gashes, and terrifying creatures, like gods or demons, rained down, unleashing destruction!
These creatures seemed born for the sole purpose of destruction, slaughtering the rare and exotic beasts to extinction. There were those who feared and begged for mercy and those who fought back, but all, without exception, were met with destruction.
Every one of these Demon Monster-like creatures was incredibly powerful, possessing Immortal Bodies, resulting in a completely one-sided massacre.
Everywhere these Demon Monster-like creatures passed by, everything was wiped out, Spirit Veins were plundered completely, turning into absolute deathlands where for a thousand, ten thousand years not a single blade of grass would grow again.
It was a shocking sight, the whole world bleeding, transforming from its originally vibrant state, capable of nurturing countless Sacred Medicines and rare birds, into a completely dead and silent world.
Who knows how many years had passed, this land had been destroyed so thoroughly that not a single living thing could be seen for a long time, desolate and silent.
It was a scene that could fill anyoneâs heart with despair upon seeing it!
"Buzz!"
Who knows how much time had passed, but the ancient language that resonated in Su Changkongâs mind stopped, and he felt a tremor in his brain, the scene before his eyes faded, and he gasped for air as he came back to his senses.
Su Changkong saw the dark depths of the sea and also saw Jiang Yao, Dragon Snake, and others, each one frozen in place, silent as death.
"You came really fast... Next time... see you again," Su Changkong faintly heard the previous voice resound in his mind.
Immediately, the fear of being watched by a terrifying existence receded like the tide.
"Divine Envoy?"
The Dragon Snake was somewhat dumbfounded, feeling that the Divine Envoy had already left!
"What exactly... happened?" As for Jiang Yuanwu, he equally didnât understand. The Divine Envoy chose to appear but did nothing and then just left?
"Not... not good..."
The Dragon Snakeâs mouth twitched violently, sensing a strong intent to kill, a pair of blood-red eyes staring at himâit was Su Changkong!
"Run... run!"
The Dragon Snake snapped out of it and frantically tried to escape to a distant place, clearly understanding that the Divine Envoyâs appearance was not in response to his call for help, nor was it to save him.
Even in the eyes of the Divine Envoy, being defeated by a human youth meant he had lost all value, discarded casually like a piece of waste paper.
"Pfft!"
In Su Changkongâs Sea of Consciousness, his golden Primordial Spirit transformed into a long saber, shooting out and turning into a golden streak of light. It penetrated directly through a previously shattered and collapsed portion of the Dragon Snakeâs skull, caused by Su Changkongâs heavy punch, without any hindrance!
The Primordial Spirit stabbed into the Dragon Snakeâs brain, madly grinding it to mush until the Dragon Snakeâs head and brain matter became a pulp before swiftly retracting.
The Dragon Snakeâs eyes bulged as its head was destroyed by the Primordial Spirit, its massive body crashing to the ocean floor, life extinguished.
Su Changkong didnât know who that person called a Divine Envoy was, but he knew he had to deal with the enemy before him first!
"Damn it! Damn it! Letâs go!"
Seeing the Dragon Snake slain, Jiang Yuanwu cursed under his breath and hurriedly tried to flee.
But soon, Jiang Yuanwuâs face revealed a look of shock, and he looked up.
Above the sea, the void shattered, and a huge ship emerged as if it had traversed the chaotic currents of time. The enormous ship was ancient and majestic, with countless mysterious Divine Patterns on it, also riddled with numerous cracks and stained with dried blood, as if it had gone through countless wars, radiating a sense of weight and history!
"This aura... itâs somewhat similar to the Great Divine Seedâs aura in the âMirror Heaven and Earthâ..."
Su Changkong also looked up at the giant ship floating above the sea, shocked, feeling the aura of the Great Divine Seed. Could it be that this giant ship was a treasure forged from a Great Divine Seed?
"This is... the Holy Emperorâs Heaven Boat of our Jiang Family!"
Jiang Yao and the others were dumbstruck, unable to believe their eyes as they recognized the origin of the giant ship.
The Holy Emperorâs Heaven Boat was the mode of travel for the once First Saint. It was a âGreat Divine Artifactâ forged from a Great Divine Seed, capable of traversing the Chaotic Void. It could reach any part of the Ancient Holy Country in a short time and was a treasure for the rulers of successive Ancient Holy Countries to inspect the world.
The appearance of the Holy Emperorâs Heaven Boat signified that the current Family Head of the Jiang Family, the âHoly Emperorâ of the Jiang Family, had arrived in person!
"Just now I felt the aura of that demon fade... Elder Jiang Shoudao, go down and check the situation, we will continue the pursuit."
An authoritative voice echoed faintly from the Heaven Boat.
"Yes."
With the response, an old man with a stern face and white beard, exuding an aura of natural authority, descended from the Heaven Boat. Meanwhile, that âHoly Emperorâs Heaven Boatâ re-entered the Chaotic Void, quickly disappearing from sight.
"Go... hurry, letâs go!"
Jiang Yuanwu realized the gravity of the situation and rushed to escape into the distance.
"Yuanwu, why the rush to leave?"
But the voice of the white-haired Elder reverberated, and the space around seemed to solidify, creating an isolated enclosed space. Jiang Yuanwu was trapped within it, unable to budge an inch.
"Elder Su, we are safe now, this is our Jiang Familyâs Elder Jiang Shoudao, he is a Great Divine Power Martial Saint!"
Jiang Yaoâs surprised voice sounded in Su Changkongâs ear.
"Great Divine Power Martial Saint..."
Su Changkong was astonished.
The Great Divine Power Martial Saint was the first of such high caliber that Su Changkong had encountered since arriving in the Ancient Holy Country!
Great Divine Power Martial Saints almost stood at the pinnacle of the Ancient Holy Countryâs hierarchy, each with a renowned name, representing the foundation of the Ancient Sects and Ancient Clans!
"The Holy Emperorâs Heaven Boat appeared just now... I estimate the Holy Emperor Jiang of the Ancient Holy Country himself was on board, all because of that âDivine Envoyâ! Who exactly is this Divine Spirit?"
At the same time, Su Changkong understood that the Holy Emperor Jiang personally steering the âHoly Emperorâs Heaven Boatâ and leading so many top experts from the Jiang Family to this point was a rare occurrence in the Ancient Holy Country, most likely because of that âDivine Envoyâ.
The mere short-lived appearance of that Divine Envoy had unexpectedly precipitated the arrival of Holy Emperor Jiang himself, indicating what an incredibly terrifying figure he must be!
Jiang Yuanwu, trapped and pale-faced, understood that it was over for him. The Divine Envoy had abandoned him, he had conspired with Demon Monsters and plotted against his own kinâsuch treason was an unforgivable crime in any power or family!
"Why⊠why did the Divine Envoy risk the danger of drawing Holy Emperor Jiangâs attention to appear, only to leave without doing anything?"
Jiang Yuanwuâs heart was fraught with confusion over what had just happened.
Perhaps... the Divine Envoy had already accomplished something upon his appearance, and they were simply unaware of it!
