Chapter 2088 Hating Heaven, Hating Earth, Hating All Things
This is precisely where the Xuanqiong Heavenly Monarch Realm experts from various major forces are stationed here, using their boundless power to analyze the latest changes in the ancient Heavenly Court ruins deep within Kunyuan.
Their will is the key to determining the true direction of this exploration of the ruins.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the direction of Kunyuan, awaiting the results of the Heavenly Lords' investigation, and anticipating the even more intense spatial tremors and energy bursts.
"Om..."
A few breaths later, another spatial ripple spread out from the depths of Kunlun.
However, this fluctuation, compared to the first wave that seemed to cause the entire Kunyuan demonic energy to boil, not only did not increase as rapidly as everyone expected, but was much weaker.
It's like a boulder thrown into water. After the first wave, the ripples should gradually expand or continue, but what appears now is a smaller ripple, as if the force of the stone is rapidly diminishing.
This change caused many people present to show obvious confusion, and the noisy discussion started again.
"What's going on? Why is the fluctuation weakening?" A cultivator in a green robe couldn't help but whisper, his brows furrowed.
“Something’s not right… Normally, when ancient ruins emerge, especially those that are created from void turbulence, the initial spatial fluctuations and energy dissipation should become stronger and stronger until they reach a certain peak and form a relatively stable passage or entrance.”
An older, experienced cultivator in the mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm stroked his beard, his face showing confusion.
"Didn't the Heavenly Monarch Realm experts from various forces all say that the ancient Heavenly Court ruins would officially emerge today? Elder Zhang also issued the same decree yesterday. But... the fluctuations are getting weaker and weaker?"
Among the disciples in the Cuiping Peak group, some couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their eyes involuntarily drawn to Wei Zhongqian, Cao Feiyu, and the others.
Wei Zhongqian's expression was solemn as he stared intently in the direction of Kunyuan, without saying a word.
After that unusually weakened ripple passed, the direction of Kunyuan fell into an eerie silence once again.
Time seemed to be stuck by the churning demonic energy, flowing at an unusually slow pace, with each breath stretched out infinitely.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the dark entrance to the abyss, and their ears were involuntarily perked up, trying to catch any unusual sounds.
However, several dozen breaths passed slowly and in the blink of an eye.
The anticipated third and fourth waves of even stronger ripples did not appear. The depths of Kunlun were like a monster that had swallowed a boulder and then returned to calm; no new ripples surged forth from it.
Everything returned to a depressing silence, with only the ceaseless churning of demonic energy and the low murmurs and hesitant breaths of various factions mingling in the air.
This silence is more unbearable than the previous waiting. It's like a taut bowstring stretched to its limit, yet the arrow remains unreleased; that feeling of uncertainty and uncertainty torments everyone's nerves.
Chen Fei was also silently observing and waiting when suddenly a thought popped into his mind.
He turned slightly to the side, closer to Cao Feiyu, who had been intently watching Kunyuan with a serious expression, and asked in a low voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Senior sister, with so many powerful figures gathered here, and many seniors at the Heavenly Monarch Realm about to enter the depths of Kunyuan... Could Kunyuan undergo some unpredictable changes as a result, such as expanding into something like the Flocculent Abyss?"
Dan Chen Sect has a rule that cultivators at the Tai Cang Realm should avoid entering the core area below the seventh level of Kun Abyss.
One of the reasons behind this is the concern that excessively powerful individual forces and rule fluctuations could become the last straw that breaks the fragile balance, triggering unpredictable chain reactions and even causing drastic changes or expansions in the nature of the entire Jedi.
The Xu Ning Yuan serves as a famous cautionary tale.
Legend has it that in the distant past, it was just a relatively ordinary dangerous place. However, due to an earth-shattering battle involving many top experts that broke out in its core area, the terrifying power completely disrupted the earth's veins and rules, eventually causing it to expand and mutate continuously, becoming a perilous place within a perilous place with a fragmented spatial structure, filled with disordered spatial turbulence and time folds.
The collision of the ancient Heavenly Court ruins with Kunyuan is already a tremendous external interference. With so many powerful figures gathered here, could this become the fuse for another incident like the Condensation Abyss?
Upon hearing Chen Fei's question, Cao Feiyu temporarily turned her gaze away from Kunyuan and looked at Chen Fei with a gentle smile on her face.
"It won't expand into the Flocculent Abyss, Junior Brother Chen, don't worry."
Her voice remained soft, but her tone was very firm: "This situation is fundamentally different from the one involving Xu Ningyuan."
"The power level of the ancient celestial court ruins is too high."
Cao Feiyu explained, "It crashed out of the void turbulence, not simply creating a crater in Kunyuan, but rather, with the structure of the ancient heavenly court's remaining rules and power, it created a deep-level forced integration and fixation with the space and ley lines deep in Kunyuan."
"The existence of the ruins themselves has become the biggest factor in stabilizing the spatial structure of that area."
"Therefore, no matter how many cultivators above the Tai Cang Realm enter at this moment, even if it is a true body of a Heavenly Monarch Realm cultivator, it will not have a fundamental impact on the overall stability of Kunyuan. Its framework has been fixed."
At this point, Cao Feiyu paused, then continued:
"Kunyuan has been formed for so many years and has experienced countless storms and changes. Although its internal spatial structure and energy cycle are fragile and chaotic, it also has its unique resilience and self-regulation ability, and it is not so easy to collapse."
Our previous regulations were primarily to prevent this possibility from increasing. After all, no one wants to see a second Condensation Abyss appear.
After listening to Cao Feiyu's detailed explanation, Chen Fei nodded in understanding, and his doubts dissipated considerably.
The very existence of the ancient Heavenly Court ruins unexpectedly became an anchor point for stabilizing the depths of Kunyuan. This was somewhat unexpected, but upon closer reflection, given the level of the ancient Heavenly Court, even if its ruins were dilapidated, they were by no means ordinary objects, and such miraculous effects were to be expected.
Just as Chen Fei nodded and was about to say something more,
"Roar!"
A roar, indescribable in any language, filled with endless resentment and violence, seemed to break free from a tragic section of the river of time and surge violently from the deepest part of the Kunlun Abyss, which had been silent for a moment.
The roar was far more intense and piercing than the previous spatial ripples.
It was like a giant hammer formed from pure resentment and madness, smashing heavily on everyone's eardrums and hearts, and even directly striking the depths of everyone's soul.
In an instant, the roar resounded in all directions, covering every inch of space.
A series of painful groans and screams immediately filled the scene. Without exception, all cultivators below the sixteenth level trembled violently, and their faces turned deathly pale.
They felt as if their souls were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, then violently shaken and torn apart. Their soul light flickered, almost leaving their bodies.
Even a cultivator like Chen Fei, who was at the early stage of the Tai Cang Realm, could clearly feel a special fluctuation of cold evil, filled with chaos and destructive will, as the roar swept through his soul like a cold tide.
"Om..."
The Undying True Light Mirror within Chen Fei's body operated spontaneously, and the illusory yet solid image of the mirror in his sea of consciousness suddenly lit up, steadily resisting the invading fluctuations.
“That roar…” Chen Fei steadied himself, a strange look appearing in his eyes.
When I came to Kunyuan for the trial before, a similar roar came from the depths of Kunyuan, which was full of indescribable eeriness and terror.
At that time, Chen Fei could only barely sense an irresistible, all-consuming power contained within, as well as an instinctive fear emanating from the depths of his being.
It's a feeling of insignificance and powerlessness when facing natural disasters or forces that are on completely different levels.
Now that he has reached the Tai Cang Realm, Chen Fei's perception and understanding of the rules are no longer what they used to be. He is now able to perceive more clearly the endless resentment contained in the roar.
It seemed to embody all the injustices, pains, despair, and resentment in the world.
It hates heaven, earth, and all things; it hates the overturned glory, the fallen splendor, the long loneliness and exile, and even more so, all living beings that intrude into its territory and disturb its slumber.
"This is the vengeful demon within the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court." Just as Chen Fei was deeply shaken, Cao Feiyu's deep voice came from beside him.
Her expression became even more solemn than before, her gaze fixed intently on the depths of Kunyuan, as if she could pierce through the layers of demonic energy to see the source of the roar.
"At such a great distance, the power is still so exaggerated, able to injure so many fifteenth-level disciples, and even affect us in the Tai Cang Realm... The owner of this roar can only be a very high-ranking being among the vengeful demons."
After Cao Feiyu finished speaking, she turned to look at Chen Fei with an unprecedentedly serious and earnest expression, and solemnly instructed him again: "Junior Brother Chen, the ancient Heavenly Court ruins are no small matter. You must remember, never go deep into the core area of the ruins out of curiosity or greed."
“It’s not just because the ancient Heavenly Court’s remnants and vengeful demons there are stronger, increasing the danger exponentially.” Her gaze held a deep warning, “but also because that area… is the domain of top-tier Tai Cang Realm and Heavenly Monarch Realm experts.”
“The struggle and exploration at that level, even if it is just a slight aftershock, could be a catastrophe for us.”
Moreover, in such a place, there are no rules, no morality, only naked self-interest and power. If you inadvertently wander in, or see something you shouldn't, the consequences could be unimaginable.
"Okay, senior sister, I understand." Faced with Cao Feiyu's solemn instructions, Chen Fei nodded seriously.
