Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1151 - 714: The Grand Finale (Part 3)

He didn't need to look to know, it must be those countless Evil Gods chasing after him again, sweeping over with boundless filthy Evil Qi.

Retreat?

There was none.

This place was the end of the Dao Path, and besides moving forward, there was no other way.

Upon stepping into the Source Swamp, Tao Qian already knew this, so he showed no fear.

He simply held the "Human Ancestor's Ashes" which he had acquired unexpectedly, and just as he was about to ask a question before setting off, the voice of Liu Yupu inside him sounded first:

"Junior Brother, do you want to ramble on again?"

"If death comes, so be it. I, Liu Yupu, am not afraid. Lord Haotian is not afraid. Those Innate Universe Demons are not afraid either. Don't ask anymore, move forward quickly."

"I have already given a Spiritual Response, Xie Lingji, on the path ahead..."

Hearing this, Tao Qian couldn't help but laugh.

He wasn't a hesitant person, and before those Evil Gods and filth surged forward, he took a step and his figure vanished into Source Nothingness.

Almost at the very moment he disappeared, the Evil Gods and the boundless filth arrived.

A bizarre scene occurred!

They were so mutated and insane, that filthy Evil Qi could corrupt everything in the world including the Innate Gods and Demons, yet at this moment, they dared not cross that nonexistent boundary. Not a trace, not a single God or Evil dared to enter Source Nothingness.

...

Within the Source Nothingness, a figure was walking slowly forward.

The way he did it was truly bizarre.

He took each step, making a footprint, and before stepping forward, he had to scatter some ashes ahead. It fell like starlight into the dimness, and in the blink of an eye, was completely consumed.

Yet in that fleeting moment of "light," Tao Qian found a place to step.

It also allowed him to see endless, utterly incomprehensible great horror.

Even the current Tao Qian could not imagine what kind of fate awaited him if he stepped wrong.

Lost, erased, frozen, driven mad... anything was possible, chosen at random.

Resist?

This alone, was impossible.

All the means he had were ineffective within Source Nothingness, even the Suppressing Evil Dao Qi was the same.

Even the "Life Protecting Ruyi" given by Lingbao Tianzun, and the Toad God Avatar, these life-saving tools, were meaningless here.

In Source Nothingness, there was no "law" at all.

Throw the three Daoist deities and a mortal into this place, and the results and circumstances would not differ much.

During his journey forward, Tao Qian also saw figures that made him widen his eyes in surprise and sigh deeply.

Or rather, seekers of the Dao who came before him.

Among them were many who were truly elders to Tao Qian.

Like a woman with a human head and snake body, entirely cloaked in a blue aura, when ashes were scattered over her, a faint light revealed her solidified form in the darkness.

It also illuminated her finger, covered in scales and pointing somewhere.

At just one glance, Tao Qian couldn't help but exclaim:

"Emperor Wa, senior?"

"But I wonder, is it an avatar, or the original body?"

"Neither, it should be half of Emperor Wa, who split herself in two with ancient Secret Technique, one to guard the Emperor Wa Palace, the other to seek a path of survival for all living beings here."

Liu Yupu suddenly spoke, providing the answer.

Next, they encountered many more incredibly strange fellow travelers, allowing Tao Qian to glimpse one of the true great secrets of the Great Abyss to some extent.

Almost all the Innate Gods and Demons had their original bodies, avatars, and succumbed to Source Nothingness.

Like Emperor Wa!

Or the three Daoist deities!

The Ancient Holy Emperor, Suirenshi!

...

Their existence seemed to, like the "Ten Thousand Qi Ancestor," point the way forward for Tao Qian.

Thus, as he passed each one, Tao Qian offered his respect.

But soon, the ashes were exhausted.

And ahead, it was still a void, no glimmer of light or path of survival.

Yet Tao Qian could not stop!

In Source Nothingness, everything was changing, all collapsing towards emptiness, all sinking into Nirvana.

With the first step, he lost any chances to regret or retreat.

Before he took the next step, Tao Qian suddenly appeared complicated in expression.

He had no time to act before a Spirit Light abruptly flew out of him, charging into the darkness.

Who else but Liu Yupu could it be.

For decades, Tao Qian had grown accustomed to having his senior sister inside him, their minds gradually connected due to Spiritual Resonance, allowing him to sense it in that instant.

In just a moment, Liu Yupu, who once again showed Tao Qian the path, was about to be swallowed by the darkness.

The fate she would face, those predecessors behind already hinted at clearly.

And as Liu Yupu emerged, her vibrant Dao voice resounded: "Good junior brother, do not grieve, senior sister wishes you a bright future, transcendence, finding a path of survival for the beings of this world."

Tao Qian didn't have time to reply, nor to show any sorrow.

Her body, her voice, were about to be engulfed by the darkness in the blink of an eye.

What Tao Qian could do was take another step using that sole light, but what brought despair to both him and Liu Yupu was the continued darkness ahead.

No path forward!

No Profound Mysterious Female!

Even as Tao Qian kept stirring the Suppressing Evil Dao Qi within him, constantly calling upon the Abnormal Soul that might exempt him from everything, there was no response at all.

He seemed free to come and go in the "Dao Nightmare."

But now that he was truly here, he was at a loss.

And time, flew by in an instant.

Seeing Liu Yupu and himself about to be "erased," Tao Qian's expression tightened, ready to do something.

But at that very moment, in the darkness ahead.

Suddenly, a snow-white lotus arm reached out, its jade-like hand directly grabbing Tao Qian, guiding him forward.

At that same time, Liu Yupu, who was supposed to be erased, was also drawn over.

In the next moment!

Tao Qian witnessed an astonishing scene: Before him suddenly appeared a giant filled with wisdom and great power, as if it could support the heavens, appearing still alive, with a warm smile on its face, one hand pointing the way forward, the other holding a cluster of seemingly eternal "flame."
