Martial World's
1980 - Emperor's Funeral
…
…
…
Three emperor jades were placed into the groove one by one. The emperor jade lined up in the groove, and then, the entire statue lit up with a dazzling heavenly light. At the same time, a vortex began to form in the void beneath the statue.
Lin Ming was sucked into the vortex. The scenery changed, and in the next moment, Lin Ming arrived in a dark gray world.
The first time Lin Ming entered the smelting trial he had learned of a seventh level existence. When he discovered that three emperor jades of fate were needed to open it, he always thought about what the place would look like.
Would this be a test with heaven-defying difficulty, or was it purely a reward?
Lin Ming's imagination became even more intense when he obtained the third fate emperor jade. But because of all the misery he had suffered afterwards and everything else that happened to him, he removed those thoughts from his head.
Today, Lin Ming would finally step into the seventh level and see everything there …
But the sight that appeared in front of him made him shocked.
What he saw was a vast .. funeral.
It's a pure gray world. The sky is not regular and the earth is barren. In this land, rows of graves lined up, tens of thousands of them.
These graves occupy a square area of land. They were all from the same gray and black stone, solemn atmosphere and swirling around them.
Lin Ming did not know if they were protected by array formations or if a tombstone was forged from some kind of special stone. But, even after 10 billion years had passed, this tombstone remained intact. The only difference was that one could feel the endless breath of years coming from the elegant writings carved in the stone.
Lin Ming walked to the front of the tombstone. This tombstone was carved with the words of the ancient god race.
“Arc White Honorable Young Celestial Emperor Xiu Kao's Grave. ”
The human tombstone would also have an inscription; it would be engraved with the names of their children and grandchildren.
As for this tombstone, it had nothing but the name and title of a graveyard master.
As for the word Extreme Emperor Heavens, it should be the name of the universe, in other words, one of the 33 Heavens.
Lin Ming had never heard of the name Extreme Emperor Heavens before. But, this is not at all strange. Too much time had passed and it was not strange for the name of the 33 Heavens to change during this period. Moreover, this is a name that existed 10 billion years ago. In ancient times, every 33 Heavens was prosperous and glorious. But now, only 16 Heavens were developed; the other 17 Heavens had turned into wilderness.
The Honorable White Arc Xiu Kao, from these words, Xiu Kao was clearly a name. It was a strange surname and an even stranger first name, but perhaps in the ancient era 10 billion years ago, this might be a normal or even popular name.
As for the Reverent White Arc, it was of course a grave master's degree.
What Honorable One was, Lin Ming did not know, but it sounded like the title was no worse than an Empyrean. If so, then in this cemetery where there were tens of thousands of unknown graves, were Empyrean level or above powerhouses buried in each of them?
Lin Ming found this hard to imagine. It should be known that in the entire heavenly World, there were only 200-300 Empyreans.
Even for saints and spiritas, when their Empyreans were added together from each of their seven Heavens, they only had a thousand or so.
Compared to the grave in front of him that had tens of thousands of Empyre people buried here, Lin Ming only found this too unbelievable.
The ancient era 10 billion years ago was a time when a hundred races fought for supremacy. It was a time when primal gods raced and angels dominated the 33 Heavens. At that moment, the heroes rose from the ranks and countless young elites. However ... If it were said that several tens of thousands of Empyre people were buried here casually, Lin Ming would still think that it was very strange.
As Lin Ming thought like this, he walked behind the tombstone. This part was similar to a human tombstone, and was carved with inscriptions on the tombstone of the master of the grave.
There were several hundred words written on the stone. As Lin Ming read these words he was inwardly flabbergasted by what the Grave Lord wrote was indeed an Empyrean level powerhouse, moreover, he was not an ordinary Empyrean. From the faint information provided, Lin Ming speculated that if this person was placed in the current era, he would be similar to a middle or even upper Empyrean.
However, this arrogant son of heaven who existed 10 billion years ago actually suffered such a fate: “Bones are unfounded, his sword is buried here. ”
This tomb was only a sword tomb; xiu Kao's body wasn't here.
Lin Ming sighed. He saw the next grave – The Tomb of Celestial Concubine Zenith Heavens, the Tomb of Yuan Chun.
Lin Ming had never heard of Sky Zenith Heavens before. If there was a Heaven that dared to call itself by such a name, then perhaps 10 billion years ago, this Heaven Zenith Sky was one of the peak universes?
This tomb master, Yuan Chun, was a woman, and according to his writing, she was an extremely talented and proud woman. His life is dazzling but his last fate is “Died in battle in the great disaster of 33 Heavens. His fur cloak is buried here. ”
This grave was only a tomb for Yuan Chun's clothes.
Lin Ming continued to search. He saw many extraordinary figures from the past. Their origins and lives are briefly described in their graves. They came from different universes of the 33 Heavens, and each of them was the ruler of their times, a king of their times!
Their strength far surpassed that of the current Empyrean!
But of these people, only a small number of the corpses were buried here. Most of the graves were filled with armor, weapons, clothing, or other objects used by the king's tomb before their death. There were even some people who only had a tombstone as a marker, with nothing in it.
Moreover, on their epitaph, the words '33 Heavens calamity' appeared more than once.
Demon Concubine Yuan Chi had been killed in battle in the great disaster of the 33 Heavens.
The Cold Ice Fairy Yun Meng had died in battle in the great calamity of the 33rd Heaven …
……
Lin Ming guessed that after these people died in the great calamity, someone had specially built a grave for them. This was because after that great war, it became too difficult to find their corpses, so these tombs were only filled with clothes and other objects to serve as mementos for their previous existence.
Realizing this, Lin Ming became lost in thought.
In the last 10 billion years of the history of the 33 Heavens, a great calamity that could be called a universe disaster had erupted many times.
Each time, countless powerhouses died in battle. Sometimes even entire races were annihilated.
The 33 Heaven Calamities inscribed on this epitaph clearly affected an area far greater than the human calamities, and the influence it exerted on the world was even greater!
In the past, this unrivalled powerhouse that died in a great calamity had once shaken the earth and sky, ruling a vast territory through force. But even for these people, after they died, all that was left was a square grave that did not even hold their bodies.
No one remembers their names, no one remembers their history. All that was left in their memory was a cold tombstone.
Thinking about this, Lin Ming sighed deeply.
No matter how strong a person was, no matter how strong the race was, when they were placed in the endless river their time was nothing more than a small wave. As they rose, they shone in blinding brilliance, but soon, they quickly disappeared into a never-ending stream, leaving nothing behind.
This was also the reason why so many martial artists were unwilling to turn into ashes, the reason they continued to climb up and search for a path to eternal life. However, nothing has ever worked …
“Maybe this 33 Heavens disaster was a great war that erupted 10 billion years ago, and that war was the catalyst that started the decline of the primal god race from its peak. After the war, the Asura Road Master and the creator of the Holy Scripture were also lost, and they left their own heritage place – Asura Road and the Akashic Dream Universe. Then .. could it be that this grave was left behind by the Asura Road Master? "
Lin Ming suddenly thought. But no matter how he changed it in his mind, there was no way he could verify this.
He moved deeper into the grave. A light gray fog floated in the air here. As Lin Ming moved forward, the mist gradually diverged from before him and he saw what was at the end of this tombstone.
This, is an incredible cliff!
And beneath this cliff was not a ravine, but an endless starry space!
This kind of feeling was as if part of an ancient continent was pushed into space, and this was where it was cut off!
Lin Ming stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the trillions of shining stars in the distance. As they shone in the distance, they looked cold and lonely. They have been there for a long time, and will continue to exist.
And in this starry space, far away from Lin Ming, a huge white altar floated up. When he saw this white altar, his eyes were fixed on him and could no longer move.
This white altar was as big as a planet and shaped like a pyramid. From top to bottom, the altar consists of 33 steps.
"Divine Seal Altar!"
Disciple Lin Ming shrank. In the past when Lin Ming attended the semifinals of the Heavenly Realm First Martial Meeting, the testing ground was the Altar of the heavenly Seal.
But, that Divine Seal Altar was a replica made by Empyrean Vast Universe. A long time ago, Empyrean Vast Universe discovered a fragment of the Heavenly Seal Altar forged by the Empyrean Heavenly Seal, a human True God that existed 3. 6 billion years ago. Empyrean Vast Universe has fused these fragments into the replica he created, allowing the replica to derive a portion of the spirituality of the ancient celestial Seal Altar.
However, the truth was that the 'original' celestial Seal Altar created by the Empyrean Heavenly Seal 3. 6 billion years ago was also a replica.
If Lin Ming was not mistaken, then Empyrean Divine Seal had participated in the final trial of the Asura Road in the past, and when he moved from the fourth level to the fifth level, it was not until the end of the day, he also had to face the test of ascending the Divine Seal Altar .
But even so, the difference between the size of the heavenly Seal Altar and the previous one was far too great!
The Divine Seal Altar in front of him, whether it was in the aura it emitted or the terrifying energy it contained, all of them left Lin Ming scared and worried, barely able to withstand it.
Perhaps the Divine Seal Altar that was placed as a test between the fourth and fifth levels was actually just a projection of the Divine Seal Altar.
And the heavenly Seal Altar might not even be called the heavenly Seal Altar; it should have another name. The name of the Divine Seal Altar was only given because of the Empyrean Divine Seal.
As Lin Ming thought of this, he slowly surged upwards. Carefully, he flew towards the Divine Seal Altar which was deep in the starry sky.
After a while, he started to slow down. As he looked at the distant heavenly Seal Altar in the sky, a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes.
Above the 33rd Heaven Seal Divine Altar there were obviously people!
And not just one person, but two .. Even though they were very far away, Lin Ming could see two blurry figures. And as soon as he swept out his heavenly feelings, he could clearly see their appearance.
These two people were wearing long white robes and their faces were wrinkled and old. They had wide smiles, as if they were waiting there especially for him.
Lin Ming stopped. He hesitated for a moment, and then continued flying towards these two old men.
