Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 10 A Conversation from Pro-Immortal Period

Ding Hao had entered this mysterious space.

It was actually a desolate world.

It was not sinister, nor was it bloody.

It was desolation that penetrated into one’s marrow.

The surroundings were filled with aimless souls. With the souls wandering about, the place didn’t even give off a sinister and terrifying feeling. The only thing that could be felt was complete desolation.

The desolate world had become extremely muddy along with this scene.

This place seemed like an ancient battlefield, and the aura of blood that was left behind by the passage of time had been condensed here, causing only a few damaged divine halls and some strange levitating objects to remain.

Standing on this ancient battlefield, Ding Hao did not reject the sudden attack of the strong inward power.

In Ding Hao’s realm, he didn’t need to be afraid of any powerful and strange inward power. If this inward power was powerful enough, he could refine it in his sea of consciousness for his own use.

In addition, Ding Hao was also very curious about this long-lived and powerful inward power. He really wanted to see what incredible things would happen.

When the inward power entered Ding Hao’s sea of consciousness, Ding Hao could clearly see that the air was filled with smoke, people were talking, and the two armies were confronting, colliding, and fighting.

It wasn’t a battle between just the humans. There were also the Demon Clan, the Beast Clan, and the Sea Clan. The endless battle was taking place right in front of him.

Also, he could vaguely feel the Qi fluctuating.

Although it was very weak, it could be confirmed that it was the huge Qi left from that era and the aftermath of the battlefield.

The inward power presented a vivid picture. This should be the last trace of inward power left by a warrior in this battle, which was about what he saw in this battle.

Ding Hao wanted to take a closer look at the battle, but this inward power seemed to have exhausted its last bit of strength. It had long turned into ashes and disappeared into Ding Hao’s sea of consciousness.

Ding Hao thought for a moment. Judging from the inward power left by this ordinary warrior, this was undoubtedly an extremely grand battle. In his impression, there had never been a fierce battle like the one shown in the picture.

Ding Hao put this problem aside for the time being and continued to check this space. He assumed that he should be able to find other useful things.

On the broken walls of the divine hall made of jade, sword marks could be vaguely seen. When he looked up, he found several altars appeared in the void.

Ding Hao’s Divine Senses swept over the area. Surprisingly, even with his extremely powerful Divine Senses, he could only see the desolate scene within ten kilometers.

This was a vast and boundless world, as vast as the seventh floor of the Hidden Ground Stupa under the Great Leiyin Monastery. The difference was that the seventh floor of the stupa was an empty space, vast and boundless, able to accommodate all things.

However, Ding Hao clearly felt that this place should have been a boundless and real continent, but at this time, when his Divine Senses swept over it, the space within ten kilometers seemed to have been hollowed out, leaving only an empty shell. There was nothing.

Ding Hao was puzzled for a while.

He looked toward the surroundings, and then he saw the levitating objects, which were altars.

There were 24 altars floating in the air. The distance between the altars was the same, and they were distributed in a circular shape. The floating altars were sometimes high and sometimes low as if they were struggling to maintain a suspended state.

The distance between the altars remained the same, and it didn’t change in the slightest because of the rise and fall of the altars.

Ding Hao took a closer look and found that the size of the altars was no different from that of the lotus flower that Lord Buddha sat on.

There were inscriptions carved on each altar, which belonged to a kind of extremely ancient inscription. Even Ding Hao could hardly recognize the era of inscriptions. He could only roughly speculate that they were at least products of the Immortal Period.

The energy of those ancient inscriptions was almost exhausted. The altars could float in the air relying on the support of the inscriptions. The shaking of the altars also showed that the energy of the inscriptions could not last long.

When Ding Hao carefully observed these altars, there was a faint, familiar yet strange aura mixed with all the ancient auras, which came into contact with him intentionally or unintentionally.

After running his power a bit, Ding Hao distinguished the familiar aura from the countless aura.

Was it the aura of a Sea God?

Ding Hao frowned slightly.

It was indeed the aura of a Sea God. What surprised Ding Hao was that there were more than 20 different kinds of Sea God auras.

Although the auras were different, this kind of aura was full of the power of vastness and seemed to be able to activate the power of the whole ocean with just an order. He couldn’t be wrong about it. Only Sea Gods were qualified to possess it.

How exalted was a Sea God? If there were more than 20 Sea God auras remaining here, did this mean that there had been more than 20 Sea Gods here before?

It was a big discovery.

Running his power a bit, Ding Hao flashed and instantly appeared in the void above the 24 altars.

Ding Hao did not explore each altar one by one. If he looked down, he could see them all. However, Ding Hao wanted to keep the ancient altars and inscriptions as they were. He did not want them to suffer any damage.

Looking down, Ding Hao clearly saw that there were one or two items left on each altar with different auras of Sea Gods.

At a rough glance, he found that there were armor, ancient books, divine weapons, and Immortal Artifacts.

These items must have been left behind by the previous Sea Gods. Without a doubt, every single item on the altars was something capable of destroying the heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, these treasures seemed to have lost their energy. They were like fossils formed in an unknown era. Only their fragile bodies, thin auras, and endless vicissitudes of life remained.

Auras could withstand the test of time, and Ding Hao could easily identify these objects from their auras.

“This ancient aura…”

Ding Hao’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but be more curious about this ancient aura.

“It’s not from the Age of Teras, nor is it from the Immortal Period?

“It is known that the Immortal Period was the most ancient time. It was also the time when martial arts flourished. There were many geniuses and many masters who had reached the Celestial Realm. Some of them were even close to the Eternal Realm. It could be said to be the peak of the martial arts world.

“What kind of world was it before the Immortal Period?”

This was not recorded in many ancient books. He could only learn from the scattered information that before the Immortal Period, it was probably a world of primal chaos. Heaven and earth had just been created, and everything was hazy and unclear.

As for the remnant aura on the altar, it was clearly even more ancient than the one from the Immortal Period.

“How many more secrets are there in this world?!”

Right at this moment, Ding Hao caught a flash of power.

It was like a tightly wrapped gas, leaking a little accidentally. This power was like a gas leaking out, just a little bit, a flash in the pan.

But it was still captured by Ding Hao.

...

“It’s the dark power!”

Ding Hao was very sensitive to dark power. With a flash in his mind, he immediately noticed one of the 24 altars.

This altar was very special compared to the other altars because there was nothing on it but a small amount of Sea God’s power remained.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Ding Hao’s mind. “Could those relics from before the Immortal Period be the incarnations of the Sea Gods? And the fact that there are no relics on this altar means that one of the Sea Gods has left here!

“Then, what does all of this have to do with the dark power?

“Where would the Gods on the other altars be?”

There were too many questions, and it seemed that the answer was right in front of him. But the deeper he went, the more doubts he had.

Moreover, after careful observation, Ding Hao found that there was actually a faint dark power lingering around all the 24 altars.

“Humph!”

Ding Hao gave a cold snort.

After that, in that pair of star-like eyes, seven magical light spots, as bright as jade and as small as rice grains, slowly swirled and were arranged in an extremely strange trajectory. They were slowly fixed and emitted a bright light,

...

Ding Hao ran the Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate.

He stared at the empty altar, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

Ding Hao activated the power of the Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate to trace the source.

The Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate could be said to be the supreme power of pupil technique. It was just one of its basic abilities to see through all illusions. Ding Hao had completely integrated and refined it, so he could naturally use the mystery of the Eyes of Fate at will. It was a great ability of the Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate to trace the source.

Under the pupil power, everything that had happened in the past was presented.

However, even with the Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate, in the face of this altar secretly possessing the dark power, Ding Hao could not see clearly what had happened before the Immortal Period.

This was not beyond Ding Hao’s expectations. Ding Hao increased his Qi, ran his pupil power, and observed patiently.

Suddenly, the blurred scene in front of him seemed to have sensed something. The scene flickered. Although he still couldn’t see anything, he could faintly hear a sound.

It was the sound of a conversation.

Ding Hao concentrated, and there were two unclear sentences in the blurred scene.

“The cycle of life and death is not over. We live while they die.”

“You’ll have to pay the price for your betrayal.”

From then on, he could receive no more information.

Ding Hao tried to recall carefully. Although the voice just now was not very clear, it was full of majesty, giving people a sense of solemnity.

Ding Hao seemed to have an idea. He immediately exited this space and returned to the inner world of the Sea God Palace.

Adorable and the Mermaid Princess were still immersed in the carvings on the giant pillar. They didn’t notice that their Divine Senses had been divided into two parts and were in another space.

After coming out of that mysterious space, Ding Hao had some inspiration about the population problem on that continent. Now, he had to go and see two people first.

“Let’s leave this place.”

Ding Hao’s words seemed to have some kind of power that eased Adorable and the Mermaid Princess from their state of immersing. The little dolphin Adorable yawned with satisfaction as if it had woken up from a beautiful dream.

“Imperator Ding, I presume you’ve gained something, haven’t you?” the Mermaid Princess asked with a satisfied expression on her face.

“Yeah.”

After Ding Hao’s simple response, the three of them left the inner world of the Sea God Palace.

After coming out, Ding Hao left the Sea God Palace directly. Although Adorable was very reluctant, it knew that Ding Hao was going to do something serious.

The two people Ding Hao was going to were Bright Moon Immortal and Xuan Tianzong.
