Chapter 338: Chapter 338: A Celestial Emperor’s Life Chart, How Could He Die?

Time flowed on relentlessly.

The changes on the Sword Ancestor Star grew increasingly terrifying.

The void barriers between Heaven and Earth were constantly being torn open, and terrifying Void Turbulence would periodically rampage through.

Many Cultivators were caught off guard and swept away. They were either utterly annihilated or, by a stroke of luck, found a new and wondrous opportunity, rising to prominence in a single step.

Changes similar to what happened in Qingyang Town were occurring in every Ancient City and Sect Holy Land.

Beyond the planet, the Sword Ancestor Star began to expand, like a slumbering behemoth awakening, its volume swelling dramatically.

Soon, the nearby Celestial Pool Ancestor Star, Nirvana Ancestor Star, and others were all drawn in. They drifted closer of their own accord and completed a territorial Fusion.

If one were to shrink their perspective and look upon this expanse of the void, it was as if they were witnessing a reversal of the Path of Time Origin.

It was like a living being that had been ground to dust, now beginning to gather those motes around its heart as a core and grow anew.

This transformation was spreading like wildfire.

The entire silent, cold Cosmos and its dark, starry sky were affected.

Even the Divine Domain Ancient City, located in a more distant region, was swallowed up.

"AH—"

In the Divine Domain Ancient City, the territory of the Taotie Race.

The sudden Descent of darkness and the collapse of the Laws made even the Taotie Divine King cry out in misery.

This terrifying ripple effect clearly wasn’t just affecting the Sword Ancestor Star; it had spread to the entire Plane where the planet resided.

"BOOM—"

The Divine Domain Ancient City was also devoured and fused into the Sword Ancestor Star’s Star Domain.

As a Taotie Divine Beast at the Divine Spirit Realm, his own Realm began to fracture madly. If not for his terrifying Devouring Talent, which allowed him to endlessly gulp down the Divine Power and even Divine Essence Power from Heaven and Earth to catch a breath, his situation would have been even more dire.

"What is happening?!"

"Damn it, my son is dead! His Soul Seal is gone! How is this possible? Under the Celestial Dao, a Child of Celestial Mandate, heir to the Celestial Mandate, is the son of a Celestial Emperor! How could someone with a Celestial Emperor’s Life Chart die!"

"The Laws are in chaos? Why is this happening?"

"My Realm... damn it! Why did my Realm suddenly drop... Holy Dao? Ancestor Dao? Damn it..."

"It’s over. I actually have so many hidden flaws from my Cultivation? How is this possible? How can this be!"

The Taotie Divine Beast roared like a madman, struggling desperately against the changes in the Celestial Dao, but he was completely unable to resist.

In the end, his heart turned to ash. His Realm plummeted to the One Path Sword Ancestor Realm, and he was weakened to the extreme.

His Soul was weakened by more than half—though in reality, his Battle Power hadn’t actually decreased.

But facing the transformed Celestial Dao, he discovered that many things he could once do with ease were now impossible.

The Taotie Divine Beast surveyed his Divine Domain Ancient City. The Ancient City had decayed and turned into a field of ruins.

Of the guards within, those who weren’t dead were maimed.

A great number of guards had turned into desiccated corpses, as if their very Essence, Qi, and Soul had been drained, leaving behind nothing but rotten bones.

The strongest among the living were only at the Sword Tribulation Realm, and their foundational Realms were also riddled with flaws.

’This World... has evolved as a whole? Our Divine Domain Ancient City was... was swallowed by the Sword Ancestor Star? What... what kind of planet is that?’

’Could it be... the legendary...’

At that moment, the Taotie Divine Beast’s ancient memories awakened. He trembled violently, his eyes filled with utter horror.

’The God Burial Domain, where All Gods once slumbered?’

’Sword Ancestor Star... God Burial Domain... Of course, so that’s how it is!’

’My son died in the God Burial Domain. He must have been targeted by the Celestial Secret and erased by the Celestial Dao... Sigh, in that case, it was his Celestial Mandate. He was fated to die.’

At this point, amidst his shock, the Taotie Divine Beast gradually found a sense of acceptance.

’In this brand-new World, the entire World has expanded, and all the planets have connected... Many fortuitous Divine Lands and Ancient Lands have emerged. I must seize a valuable piece of inheritance ground and establish a new foundation!’

The Taotie Divine Beast pondered for a moment and immediately came to a decision.

He then began to summon Ye Wuhen and Ye Cangkun.

However, the summons yielded no response from Ye Wuhen; his Soul Seal was broken.

’Ye Wuhen is dead too? Oh, right... he seemed to have been... killed by the Celestial Secret Divine Son... The Celestial Secret Divine Son... Is he dead? He probably is... My memories of him seem to have weakened a lot.’

The Taotie Divine Beast thought for a moment and managed to recall the matter of the Celestial Secret Divine Son, but he no longer paid it any mind.

The Sword Ancestor Star being the God Burial Domain was now an established fact.

As such, a mere Celestial Secret Divine Son was just a genius who had risen in a broken world. In this new World, he would ultimately become a lowly ant. The true geniuses would be those who rose anew amidst the new opportunities.

The Taotie Divine Beast dismissed the matter—Ye Cangqian was also dead, and the dead held no value.

The Taotie Divine Beast immediately began using a projection technique to contact Ye Cangkun.

This communication was far more difficult than before, but because the World had synchronized, it also saved him many complicated steps.

Soon, the Taotie Divine Beast made contact with Ye Cangkun.

Ye Cangkun, who had been at the mighty Sword Tribulation Ninth Refining Realm, was now merely at the Sword Spirit Third Heaven Perfection Realm. His condition was quite miserable, no different from some of the surviving genius guards in the Divine Domain Ancient City.

In fact, his situation was even more severe; he was coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

As a Divine Beast and a genius with the Taotie Divine Blood Talent, the countless sources of Origin Energy he had once devoured were now erupting with hidden crises.

It was like a backlash; all sorts of resentful Fierce Souls were breeding, and Heart Demons interfered, causing him untold suffering.

"Father, quick, save... save me..."

Upon contacting the Taotie Divine Beast, Ye Cangkun became extremely agitated. Snapping out of his endless fear and panic, he immediately kowtowed and begged for his life.

"Save you? This is a heaven-sent opportunity! Quick, search for Immortal and Divine Medicine and Rare Treasures throughout Heaven and Earth! Hurry! Seek Enlightenment Dao! Heaven and Earth are undergoing a new Establishment Dao! There are opportunities and fortuitous encounters everywhere!"

The Taotie Divine Beast was practically roaring.

"Ah— Father, this? What is this?"

Ye Cangkun coughed up blood in agony, but his entire body trembled upon hearing those words.

"It’s true. The outside world is very dangerous. All sorts of Alien Races are rising, Blood Demons are invading, and all the Ten Thousand Spirit Races have emerged!

But, this also marks the arrival of a great new era!"

As the Taotie Divine Beast spoke, he couldn’t help but cough up a large mouthful of blood himself. With a BOOM, his Ancestor Dao Realm actually shattered from the strain of forcibly transmitting the message, and his Realm dropped once again.

"CRACK—"

The communication was severed.

The Taotie Divine Beast fell to his knees with a THUD, unable to get back up for a long time.

Just sending a simple projection message had become so difficult.

This World had become so strange that even he was filled with endless terror.

...

In the Ten Thousand Swords Sacred Land, an opportunity from the Celestial Dao made its Descent, and Divine Power poured down like an anointment.

"BOOM—"

As the Saint Master, Wan Linmo had a sudden epiphany. At the same instant his Realm shattered and fell, he perceived an opportunity sent from the heavens.

His Realm fluctuated continuously, falling and rising in a constant cycle.

Finally, he stabilized at the One Path Sword Ancestor Realm.

Although he was only at the One Path Sword Ancestor Realm, a Sword Ancestor was still a Sword Ancestor—more than enough to preside over a Holy Land.
