Chapter 731 200. The Day of Suffering for All Living Beings (7.8k)

When people form an alliance and raise the battle flag against death, death will come as promised.

…………

In the void, the black fog gradually thinned, and at the end of the dried-up sea of ​​suffering stood the corpse of an angel and a huge cocoon.

One day he rode his old cow to a pagoda.

This land is truly dead, and everything in it has become nutrients for the original universe, but only one thing remains on this land, and that is the road that once belonged to the immortals and Buddhas. The ancient road is now covered by weeds, but it will soon reveal its original appearance before the end of all things.

Chengtian and Qingniu complained: "The masters in heaven don't care about human affairs. We are at least part of the Tianyang family. Why don't they save us? At least we were able to fight Rong and survive. There shouldn't be many people in Tianyang who have such a brilliant record as us."

He spent the whole day grumbling while doing the deductions, and would start shaking his head after each deduction. It can be said that he did it in one go.

"This Taixu has been stripped away. I have finally survived. I hope I will not be floating outside the universe and be poisoned to death by the black fog."

"You will survive." Someone suddenly said.

Chengtian suddenly shuddered and sat up straight on Qingniu's back. "Who? Who's talking?"

The man looked around. Taixu had experienced the ultimate showdown and was like a crumpled paper. Apart from the ruins and the black fog that had not yet dissipated, there was no living person anywhere. Those filthy creatures despised this place and retreated with the black fog.

"Li Daode." The voice then called out a name.

A name that has not appeared in a long, long time.

Frowning all the time, he looked in the direction of the sound, only to find himself looking down into his own body.

The Gate of All Wonders...is speaking!

At this moment, even Cheng Tian did not dare to say that this thing was fine, even though Cheng Tian knew how every spell rune that made up the Gate of Wonders worked. In an instant, several possibilities flashed through Cheng Tian's mind. Maybe the Gate of Wonders communicated with a certain existence, or maybe a lonely ghost in the void possessed his body. After all, he carried the two ultimate laws of the beginning and the end, and he had walked through the throne of the void, so it was reasonable that he should have some supernatural things.

But I pray all day long, hoping that this thing will not have its own spirituality.

"I am the door to all wonders." The voice inside said, "Li Daode, you don't seem to want me to have my own spirituality and self."

Take a deep breath throughout the day.

  Should he say it?

"When did you awaken?" Cheng Tian could only ask.

"When you step into the void."

"What, so early? Then why do you show up at this time?" Cheng Tian was puzzled, and at the same time, he was thinking about the origin of this thing. There must be something in the void that triggered another layer of the mechanism of the Gate of All Wonders and promoted its changes.

What could that be? Is there anything in the void that is related to the Gate of All Wonders?

“Because they haven’t left yet. If they find out, not only will I die, you will die too. You don’t have to worry about what I will do to you. We were one originally, and we still are. The moment you set foot on the void, I seemed to have broken through the primordial chaos, and when you took on the laws of the beginning and the end, I finally understood everything.” The tone of the Gate of All Wonders was very calm, completely different from Chengtian’s personality, but it sounded like a child giving you an earnest instruction.

"So what are you now?"

"I have introduced myself at the beginning. I am the Gate of All Wonders, but I am not the crude answering machine you built. The Gate of All Wonders is the product of a celestial master in the void. I am not allowed to call his name, even if he has perished with the void."

"Tianzun..." Chengtian had never heard of this title before.

"In the beginning, there were transcendent people in the round heaven and square earth, but the transcendent people at that time will gradually merge into the world under their feet as the round heaven and square earth grows. This kind of creature is called emperor in Jiuzhou, Sima Ming in Tianyang, and beast in Dahuang. Taixu is special. There were two sects in the beginning. In the process of Taixu's growth, one side lost the three great celestial masters, and the other side gave up the past and the future. I was enlightened by one of the celestial masters and left behind."

"You have some shadows of Tianzun. Even your name and destiny are connected with it. You even accidentally built the Gate of Wonders. The seeds have been planted long ago, and today is just the fruit of it."

"Am I the reincarnation of the Celestial Lord?" Cheng Tian was beaming with joy, not showing any sign of nervousness at all.

"No, there is no reincarnation of the Heavenly Venerable. Moreover, this is all too coincidental. I think there is a big conspiracy behind you. You are the key to steal the inheritance of the Heavenly Venerable. That Dahuang Liyou is the incarnation of Rong, but you have nothing to do with the Heavenly Venerable. You are more like a doll that is forced to come here to be toyed with."

"That's really fate." Cheng Tian shrugged. "So why are you telling me all this after you woke up? If I were really a thief... well, a tool in the hands of a thief, wouldn't your awakening make the thief happy?"

"The Heavenly Lord doesn't care, and neither do I. With a comprehensive knowledge of all generations, I will help you find a path that suits you. When a thief enters the house, he cannot find gold, silver, or jewelry. There is only truth here. Those who understand the truth will not steal, and those who don't understand it cannot steal." The voice laughed, like a boy playing a trick on people.

"Are you waiting for those two?" the Gate of Wonders asked again.

Nod all day long.

Sibu Zhuo and King Daming, who had entered the pagoda earlier than him and Liyou, are still motionless in the pagoda, which makes Chengtian curious. They may have a way to return to the universe. After thinking about it, Chengtian returned here again.

"You can't wait any longer." said the Gate of Wonders.

"Is he dead?" Cheng Tian was shocked.

"I have to respect you, but those two are not in this tower."

"The ancient Taixu Sutra, the Peacock King Sutra, records: The Buddha told Ananda, I have the Mahamayuli Buddha Mother King Dharani, which has great power and can destroy all poisons, fears, disasters and troubles, embrace and nurture all sentient beings, and bring them peace and happiness."

"In the Great Wisdom Treatise, it is also said: Arrogant people who are proud and angry but give alms will be reborn as golden-winged birds, where they will always be free. They will have wish-fulfilling jewels as their necklaces, and will be able to fulfill all their needs. They will be able to change in various ways and accomplish everything."

"These two are the real masters. Even the Buddha of Bliss would not neglect them when they were in their prime."

"Are you saying that they are the manifestations of ancient beings, just like Liyou, and are now preparing to bring these two real beings to the world?"

"I have never said it, but there is no doubt that Taixu has a close relationship with Jiuzhou. It is normal for there to be some secrets. You need to be wary of them and find Tianzun's legacy. I will show you the way."

"What do I need to do?" he asked every day.

"Leave here first and return to the original universe. Death is approaching."

"What did you say? Is this 'death' the death I understand?"

"Yes, the black master of the wilderness, the ultimate of death." The Gate of All Wonders replied.

"Death has come to the original universe. Why should we go back? That guy will kill us all."

"This is my answer. I can only give you this answer. If you want to obtain Tianzun's legacy, you need to return to the original universe."

"There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of them are derived from the heavens, and only one is left. Even at the end of death, there is a way to life. Pray that you will survive, or you can stay in the void and wait for everything to happen without doing anything."

Chengtian sighed, patted the head of the green ox under him, took out a watermelon from its back, split it into two pieces, and ate half of it while the ox ate half.

"Old man, this time you might really be going to die."

The green ox looked down upon the sky with disdain in its eyes.

"Oh, oh, oh, I knew you would despise me. I just feel sad sometimes." After eating watermelon, Cheng Tian asked the Gate of Wonders in his heart, "Without Peng Bird and Peacock, how can we return to the original universe?"

"Now," said the Gate of Wonders.

The next moment, a door opened in front of Chengtian, and a man and a woman, former Chentian of the Nine Heavens and now Yin Yang Guiyuan, walked out.

The two of them were delighted to see Cheng Tian and said, "Taiyi asked us to come and take you back."

Although Cheng Tian had found a way to return to the original universe, there was no joy on his face. For the first time, he deeply felt the cage that bound him. A pair of hands were pushing him forward. As for where the end was, he had no idea.

…………

Pushing open this door all day long, I instantly arrived at the original universe from the void, and I didn't know how far I had traveled.

This is Taiyi's creation, with an immortal aura flowing on its surface. Only such a thing can ignore the barriers of the original universe.

He walked out the door all day and then froze in his tracks.

"What...is that?" He looked up, his lips trembling.

On the side, Yin Yang Guiyuan was also stunned, and his brother Heng subconsciously protected his sister Xiaoman behind him.

At the center of the universe, above the black tide, a huge pyramid stood, with black flames burning. It not only manifested on the surface of the boundless universe, but also in the hearts of all living beings in the universe, showing its existence to the world. The priests standing on the pyramid sang hymns, and every word struck Cheng Tian's soul hard, causing him to subconsciously take a step back and almost fall from the door into the tide.

On the pyramid, an extremely heavy shadow extended from the main hall door, twisting in midair, like a giant shadow reflected by water waves, covered with dense golden runes. Looking closely, each rune was actually a living being, surrounding the shadow, weaving a giant net to cover the shadow, as if to stuff it back into the pyramid.

Those creatures are like insignificant little people to the giant shadow, but in fact each of them is a behemoth that competes with the universe. They are the Supreme. The Supreme stirs the rhythm of Tao, and one throne after another lights up. The rich rhythm of Tao turns into rain and fog, morning sun, white snow, scorching sun, and all kinds of strange visions. The figure of the Supreme is extremely tall, with a sword, axe and halberd in his hands.

"That is the temple of the Supreme Lord Ku." The Gate of All Wonders answered Cheng Tian's question.

The mechanical and calm response of the Gate of Wonders brought Cheng Tian back to his senses, and he was a little bit incredulous.

I even saw some acquaintances during the day.

A golden monarch was very close to the center, and those glowing golden runes came from him. The dark gold inscription he refined was pushed to the limit in the hands of the Supreme, and the explosive power almost distorted the space of the original universe, isolating the entire pyramid from the cosmic matter and preventing it from coming into contact with anything.

A fierce tiger roared to the sky, and the gate of the underworld opened, rolling up the black tide that affected the material universe. The raging waves were full of ghost soldiers, and the energy from the underworld was offsetting the burning of the black flames, extinguishing them, and offsetting death with the law of death.

"Are they already this strong?"

"The original universe has a transcendent amplification of the law, not to mention that they are the best among the saints who have returned to the source throughout the ages." The Gate of All Wonders continued to respond.

Cheng Tian then took a quick glance and saw that there were even several throne creatures standing in the encirclement, including a snake god wearing a white veil, a dragon god like a Vajra angry dragon, and several fierce characters that were only recorded in Tianyang's ancient history. They all showed up, but Cheng Tian couldn't see their appearance clearly due to the diffuse Taoist aura. However, they stood there shiningly and could not be ignored.

The extremely tall shadows stood at the edge of the universe, their faces obscured by the laws of the great way, holding the chains of the inscriptions in their hands, trapping the shadows tightly, and countless Dao rhyme lights shuttled through them, constantly reducing the spread of the black shadows. Even several new students who were familiar with the day participated in it, and the power of the laws of the original universe they possessed was also crucial.

"what are they doing?"

"Let death continue to sleep."

"can do it?"

"That shadow is the reflection of the dream of death eroding the original universe. As long as the shadow is eliminated, the dream of death will end outside the original universe, and death itself will also stop there."

"Taiyi can travel through the original universe at will, so can't Death do the same?"

"Death is confused right now. He is not awake yet. If we just let him continue to sleep, he will not come to us."

"Will it succeed?" Cheng Tian couldn't help but ask.

"According to the records of death and awakening in the past Great Wilderness, it is possible."

"What do you mean by according to the past? Now, it is now! Can we do it this time?"

The Gate of Wonders was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "No, they can't do it."

For the first time, Cheng Tian heard a heavy tone in the voice of the Gate of Wonders. It was obvious that it had not expected this situation. Knowing that death was coming was completely different from actually facing it. Cheng Tian's scalp was numb just by looking at it, and his muscles and bones were trembling under the Tao rhythm of the Supreme. He lost all his ability to think at the first sight. If it weren't for the ability of the Gate of Wonders, he would not have been able to see it so clearly.

To all living beings in the universe, those guys are incomparably terrifying existences, shrouded in the aura of the Great Dao, and so tall that they cannot stand in the universe.

"You mean... we are here to die?"

"No, there is a glimmer of hope."

"Then finding the Tianzun's legacy can prevent the coming of death. Am I the newly added variable?" Cheng Tian had a very good understanding and understood it all at once.

"You are not a variable." The Gate of All Wonders fell silent again.

"You must come to the original universe to have the opportunity to touch the legacy of the Heavenly Venerable, but you will only face death. All the creatures in this universe... I have seen the end of life. What is going to happen here?" Even the Gate of All Wonders couldn't help but ask, it encountered something that contradicted its own cognition. And its cognition came from the Heavenly Venerable, which also means that if the Heavenly Venerable were here, he might also ask such questions.

The Taiyi Gate closed, and the messenger from Tianyang presented an envelope for Chengtian and Yinyang to return to their origins.

Yin and Yang returned to their origin and swept over. The runes jumped one by one and were burned to ashes in the air by the dead fire.

"What is it?" Cheng Tian asked.

"A supreme being invited me there, they need me." Yin Yang Gui Yuan said. "As a law of balance, Yin Yang Gui Yuan plays a great role in both the eternal sleep of death and the balance of the universe. The supreme beings would not let such an important law go unused, so they invited him to stop the resurrection of death and wrote the reason in the envelope." The Gate of Wonders also answered Cheng Tian.

"And me?"

“As the True One, you are not important. The Origin and the End stayed with you for a shorter time than when you were herding cattle.” The Gate of Wonders responded coldly.

Soon, Chengtian bid farewell to Yin and Yang and returned to Tianyang. In a trance, he had an illusion that he was in another world.

His enemies and companions were suddenly very far away from him.

Liyou became Rong, unattainable. Several people from Jiuzhou even dominated in front of the throne. Now even Heng and Xiaoman, who had the best relationship with him, had to go to the Temple of Death to shine. He came back from Taixu every day, as if he had become a guy abandoned by the times.

He rode his green ox through the streets of the city and through the countryside and mountains. There was no smell of decay of Taixu here, but death from the universe was not uncommon.

Occasionally he would look up at the black pyramid in the universe, watching the black shadow gradually get smaller.

The universe seemed to be the same as before except for the darkness. After all, the supreme beings were too far away from the mortal world. If the struggle between them was likened to the disorder of the orbits of stars, then all living beings together were just an ant nest on the stars. Why should we care about it? Just like that, he lived like the ordinary people all day long, and even used less magic.

One day, Cheng traveled to the ancient world, which is one of the few prosperous worlds in the universe today.

The celestial beings in the ancient world welcomed him warmly.

"You weren't asked to stop the death?" Cheng Tian was surprised.

“It’s not that I didn’t shout, but the Saint King stopped it for me.” The Sky of the Ancient Realm shook his head. He looked at the puppet-like girl in the corner of the hall with a wry smile.

“In fact, the Ancient World’s Heaven was not invited at all.” The Gate of All Wonders revealed the truth in Cheng Tian’s heart.

Chengtian also looked over and asked, "What is that?"

He wanted to say daughter, but he obviously sensed something was wrong.

"A friend of mine, something inexplicably happened to him, and he is now like this." replied Gu Jie Zhi Tian.

"The Kyushu Samsara remains in the medium of this universe, but its core has been destroyed." said the Gate of Wonders.

"What?" Cheng Tian was shocked. He seemed to have heard a very extraordinary secret.

Kyushu reincarnation?

Is there such a person hidden in Jiuzhou? He had never heard of him, not even during the Universal War when Jiuzhou rose to power. In the Universal War, Jiuzhou had reached the end of its rope several times, but he still hadn't heard of this person's existence.

"He achieved enlightenment in a secret era and single-handedly supported the reincarnation system of Kyushu. He secretly accumulated spiritual energy and laid the foundation for the rise of future generations." The Gate of Wonders introduced.

"The one who has ascended from the secret era of Kyushu, inherits..."

"Why don't you finish what you are saying?"

"My cognition has been covered, and much of my understanding of this existence has become very vague."

"Since this girl is the medium of the Kyushu reincarnation, it means that her real body has gone outside the universe, but she still needs to come back and leave this medium to contact her at the critical moment? Can we know more? For example, where did she go and what did she want to do?" He guessed all day long.

“Go…want…” The response from the Gate of All Wonders suddenly became stuck. It was rare for the Gate of All Wonders to have such problems. It seemed that the man from Jiuzhou Samsara was no trivial matter.

"So, where is He?" Chengtian changed his perspective.

"Taixu." This time, the Gate of All Wonders answered.

His expression remained unchanged all day long. He took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, and realized something.

A common sense that is covered up.

The immortal needs to inherit the supreme position to achieve immortality, so what position did this noble Jiuzhou Reincarnation inherit? There is no position in Jiuzhou that matches the ability described by the Gate of Wonders, but he happened to have read the ancient scriptures of Taixu, and Taixu has the authority that matches this description, and its power is enough to support an immortal of this level.

“The Lord of Reincarnation… Jiuzhou has the Lord of Reincarnation!”

Once he thought of this, a terrible speculation began to grow in Chengtian's heart.

If Taixu's ultimate position is in Jiuzhou, will the other one be there too? And what can the one who inherited the ultimate position do? For such a long time, reincarnation is completely beyond the Supreme's cognition. This is the most terrifying thing, completely unknown.

  So what exactly happened between Taixu and Jiuzhou?

Could this connection be related to the fall of Taixu and the fall of Jiuzhou?

My head feels like it's going to explode all day long.

Inside his body, the door to all wonders hummed and shook violently, shocking Cheng Tian's mind and calming him down.

At the moment when the Gate of All Wonders shocked the whole day, the girl in the corner looked up, and her beautiful dark purple eyes looked at him quietly.

Li Chengqi was puzzled, "What happened?"

"It's just a headache. It's nothing. Just some old problems." Chengtian calmed down and waved his hands quickly.

Li Chengqi did not ask any more questions, but pointed to the sky, to the pyramid at the center of the universe.

In the dragnet, the shadow has shrunk a lot.

"Perhaps we can avoid the arrival of death. Even the universe is helping us. However, when death leaves, this universe will once again become the pasture of the Supreme." Li Chengqi sighed.

Cheng Tian recovered and followed Li Chengqi's gaze. The Supreme Dao rhyme had covered the dead fire, and it seemed that everything was developing in a good direction. But the more this happened, the more uneasy Cheng Tian became. He still remembered the affirmative answer of the Gate of Wonders - death will eventually come.

Staying in the ancient world all day, his intuition told him that he should stay here for a while.

He actually wanted to visit the mysterious and unknown land of Jiuzhou, but he couldn't find any reason to go to Jiuzhou. Although Tianyang Supreme and Jiuzhou Saint King worked together to fight death, their mortal enemies had not disappeared, and the Yufa Great Wall set up by the Saint King kept the Supreme out. With his current strength, he couldn't even sneak across.

He was riding his green ox on the street as usual, when he suddenly noticed something and turned around.

A girl stood in the crowd, staring at him calmly.

Those gem-like purple eyes are captivating.

"It's you? Why are you here?" Cheng Tian recognized her, the medium body of Jiuzhou Samsara, but she should be in the palace of the Ancient World at this moment.

"Because the time has come," said the girl.

She raised her hand, her arm was white as jade, and her five fingers were pointed at Cheng Tian, ​​as if she was pushing him out of this world. The red teardrop mole at the corner of her eye seemed to move, forming a huge red dragon. With the appearance of the huge red dragon, the boundless fog instantly enveloped the place.

The time and space here are broken.

"What time?" He frowned all day long, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

"At the moment of death, my appearance will not arouse anyone's vigilance. Look, what I saw, the Gate of Wonders of the Lord of Morality."

Cheng Tian's eyes flashed, and the girl appeared in front of him, gently patting his chest with her hand.

"Don't worry, I'm saving your life. After all, if you hadn't opened the Door to All Wonders, I really wouldn't have been able to return to this body. Taiyi was very skilled and destroyed the key silently. By the time I realized it, it was too late to return."

Her smile was as beautiful as spring rain. If he had seen her on the street, he would have been in a good mood for the whole day. But at this moment, he really couldn't appreciate it. There was a big hole in his chest, and the girl's arm passed through his chest without a drop of blood. The palm of her hand was shining.

"Boom--!"

The light was like thunder from the sky and blazing flames. An indescribable spirit rose from the light.

But the next moment, the sky and earth of the ancient world suddenly darkened, and black dead fire burned, overwhelming everything. The rising spirit was ignited and killed in an instant.

Death awakens.

Revealing the failure of all beings.

…………

The dense golden runes shattered layer by layer, and the Dao rhyme began to burn.

The originally shrinking shadow disappeared and burst with a bang, like a burst dream bubble.

The silver-faced priest's hymn reached its climax.

Eight black suns appeared in the sky, with dark red crowns on the edges. The eight suns revolved around the pyramid. Inside the huge temple, the heartbeat became more and more rapid and heavy, like a heavy hammer, beating the universe to the point of collapse.

The Supremes no longer looked happy, "What's going on? It's clear that Mengying has been suppressed!"

"How could this be? Is the awakening of death inevitable?" a giant beast shouted.

Luo tightly grasped the Desolate World and called upon the Devil God. He was ready to fight to the death. Complaining and searching for reasons were meaningless at this moment. Qingyan was the same. She held the Cangming Sword in her mouth and manifested the crown of the law of death. The Tongming Seat was burning, and the crown of fire also appeared above her head.

The supreme beings all sacrificed their natal weapons. No living being retreated because of the coming of death, because retreat was useless.

They stared at the temple gate.

The heartbeat intensified, not only from the Ultimate heartbeat, but also from the Supreme's heartbeat.

"He is coming!" A supreme being suddenly died, was enveloped by the death fire, and burned to ashes. Before he died, he used all his strength to say this.

"He is coming!" A universe suddenly died, and a voice like a wail shouted.

"He is coming!" Everyone said together when the priest's hymn came to the end.

Nothing came out of the hall.

A pair of huge membrane wings propped up the dome of the temple, which opened with a bang. The bricks and tiles of the temple continued to fall and smashed into the black tide.

The universe suddenly went dark, and the Supreme's position and Dao rhyme no longer had any light. Luo stared at the thing with wide eyes.

An existence that can only be described as despair.

  He was covered in black iron scales, his back was covered with inverted bone spurs, and there were inverted horns on both sides of his head. His lower body was shrouded in a huge shadow, and it was impossible to see clearly. He was too huge, so huge that the Supreme was no more than an ant-like creature. This was the black master of the wilderness, the ultimate of death!

The giant beast moved its body, slowly crawled out of the temple of the pyramid, and roared at the universe. The roar penetrated time and space, carrying an indescribable ancient desolation. The dead fire that had been suppressed to the minimum began to burn like crazy, and soon ignited the entire universe. All living beings suffered in death and then died.

His scales played the music of world destruction, and the huge sound of his heartbeat echoed with the wailing of the universe.

The worms circulate the laws of the universe, and the runes are blazing.

The blue flame flashes with thunder, bringing death.

The Supreme burns his noble position, solidifies the rhyme of Tao, and constructs a sharp blade.

The being on the throne restrained the light of the avenue, held his breath and concentrated, expanding one country after another.

Eight black suns rotate, bringing death to all things.

Yufa's light disappeared, Luo Muren found that the dark gold inscription had lost its effect, and all the Yufa runes became useless symbols. He killed Yufa and space.

The thunder disappeared, the concept of Tianwei disappeared, and Qingyan's Cangming Sword dissolved out of thin air. He killed Tianwei and the underworld.

The Supreme's Tao rhyme and dignity disappeared, and they fell one after another. He killed those authorities.

The throne was shattered, the Serpent God and the Dragon God sank into the black tide, and the several thrones in Tianyang were uncovered by the laws of the great way. The dead fire spread and dissipated, engulfing them.

There is no resistance, there is no time to resist, resistance is meaningless and useless, death comes equally and devours every living being in this universe.

This Ultimate burned everything with the despair of all living beings.

The kings lost their original laws, the saints lost their laws, the True One lost his Dharma image, the realm collapsed, the sky was round and the earth was square. In the land where the eight black suns shone, all things sank, the maggot closed his eyes, he disappeared like dust in the dead fire, the eight wastelands had no support, and fell into the black tide. The blue flames were angry, but soon they disappeared like maggots, leaving no trace, the bright seat, the blue bird, and so on, all died in the darkness. And the Supreme was annihilated, the throne collapsed, and the dense figures melted under His shadow, and the pair of membrane wings wrapped the original universe.

Death tore open the barriers of the original universe, twisted his thick neck and glanced at this crumbling universe. This universe withered, like a dead flower stamen, which was drained of moisture before it bloomed. He swept it into the black sand with his long tail, then spread his membrane wings and disappeared into the black mist.

Don't worry if you don't write about tragedy (laughs)
