Chapter 565 - The Last Fuxi (1/2)
While the eye was staring at Zhong Yue, the young man was still searching around for the gods' graves. However, even though he was able to find a few, there weren't anything that happened anymore. The light rays never came out again nor did the skeletons were revived.
It was as if the bizarre light rays have learnt of their mistakes and stopped going near to him anymore.
Strange, the power of the Six Paths in here are different in the Returning Ruins. In the Returning Ruins, the power of Six Paths is nearly everywhere, but the power of Six Paths here is like it is alive, Zhong Yue thought puzzlingly.
Creak…
Noises of rusted gears creaking could be heard coming from far away, as well as the noises of blunt objects banging together. They weren't loud usually. But in this dead quiet city, they appeared to be incredibly perceptible.
Zhong Yue traced the noises; the closer he was, the louder the noises rang in his ears. Zhong Yue walked past a line of trees and the found himself standing in front of the greenland—a land paved with green vines on the floor like a huge net, there wasn't a single spot on the floor wasn't covered.
While the noises came directly below the green vines.
Zhong Yue cast the Golden Feathery Peng Sword out and slashed down some of the vines in front of him.
It was dark beneath, he couldn't see anything at all. But the noises grew louder and harder.
He slashed down again one time after another, breaking the vine webs away. After some time, the green vines were finally all destroyed.
Then, the young Fuxi stood still like a statue, not moving a single inch at all, except for his widening eyes.
It was a pit, its top was sealed with a crystal clear barrier and it was large. So huge that it was more than enough to bury an army of soldiers in it. While in fact, it did.
He couldn't tell how deep was the pit, for it was filled and crawled with uncountable skeletons. These skeletons stacked on top of one another and were trying to escape from the inescapable pit.
The creaking noises came from the skeletal hands that scratched on the barrier and the banging noises were when the skeletons rammed their skulls on the barrier.
The spiritual energy in these skeletons were yet to fully disperse, some of their bones were still engraved with the totem patterns, some were the races' innate totem patterns while the others were carved during their cultivations.
These totem patterns were incredibly profound, the spiritual energies were still strong but also fading. A mysterious force was drawing them away from the skeletons.
Zhong Yue stared at the skeletons, his eyes were brimmed with pain and sorrow.
The Fuxi Clan.
The uncountable skeletons in the bottomless pit, they were all the gods of the Fuxi Clan.
The gods of Fuxi were all buried in the pit, he couldn't even count how many of them were there in the pit. These skeletons were still struggling, trying to climb out, roaring and shouting voiceless; as if they were oblivious of their death.
Tears rolled down the young man's cheeks.
Even the always noisy and unrestrained Xin Huo kept quiet, he was looking at it through Zhong Yue's vision.
As soon as Zhong Yue's tears dropped on the barrier, it rippled like a poll of clear water. All of a sudden, the skeletons inside of the barrier settled down, they were quiet and stood still on the spot.
The skeletons raised their heads up, there were the eye sockets where the divine third eye would be on their foreheads.
Then, from the divine third eye's sockets, the Fuxi skeletons released bright divine rays that formed a light beam piercing up into the sky.
Zhong Yue was swallowed by the lights without even trying to evade at all, he stood steadfast on the ground.
Moments later, when the lights faded away, Zhong Yue found himself sent out from the City of Nature again. This time, he appeared inside of a battlefield.
There were banners and flags fluttering in the gales, they were shabby and torn. Divine weapons scattered across the floor and the broken warships that have crashed down from the sky.
Headless bodies and shattered corpses paved the ground and painted the land.
While high up in the sky, there were many six-colored light wheels spinning, looking like the Six Paths Reincarnations.
But there wasn't only one of it, there were hundreds!
These Six Paths Reincarnations have filled the sky, there should be some magnificent figures sitting or standing in front of the light wheels but none of them could be seen.
Then, further away from him, Zhong Yue noticed Mother Da Zhen and startled for a second.
She was taking the form of a huge mother insect, it was a secondary body she prepared for herself when there was a need for her to give up on her old mortal body. But this was also the time where she was weakest in prowess, there was no way she could protect herself anymore if Zhong Yue wanted to kill her now.
