Chapter 512: Chapter 234: Barrier, The Banished Divine Demon Burial Ground (3)

These are burial grounds so large it’s hard to imagine, each spanning vast regions, drifting downstream from the sea, densely covered with graves that astonish mortals and immortals alike. Even across unfathomable distances, one can still sense an ancient aura from each grave that captivates the soul.

The terrifying pressure emanating from them seems capable of crushing a universe and its stars. Even in burial, they shake the heavens and the earth.

When Ye Xiaofan saw those gigantic burial grounds floating above the Sea of Spiritual Veins, Luo Qingxian also noticed them. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock as she gazed at the enormous burial grounds slowly drifting downstream, murmuring, "It’s the Divine Demon Burial Ground!"

Clearly, before entering the Hundred Sects Battle Domain, Luo Qingxian had learned quite a lot about the Space-Time Barrier, though it was limited to ancient texts and hearsay. This was the first time she had seen the Divine Demon Burial Ground herself, and she was equally astonished.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofan felt ripples in his heart. Were it not for Luo Qingxian’s words, who would have thought that these were floating Divine Demon Burial Grounds?

Staring at those floating burial grounds, Ye Xiaofan was indescribably astonished. No wonder the Hundred Sects call the Valley of Space-Time the Divine Demon Battlefield — it buries countless divine and demonic beings from ancient times.

"Are there really gods and demons buried there?" Ye Xiaofan asked with a slightly trembling voice.

In response, Luo Qingxian gently shook her head: "This is merely speculation from later generations. Gods and demons are names we give them, including the two Divine Demon Bodies you saw before the Barrier Gate. No one can be sure whether they truly are gods and demons, though to the entire Martial Soul Continent, they are equivalent to such existences."

Listening to Luo Qingxian’s words, Ye Xiaofan felt a tremendous impact within.

The emergence of this scene made him feel the Hundred Sects Battle Domain was even more terrifying. Clearly, there seems to be an unimaginable force controlling everything here.

He didn’t know why this force built the Hundred Sects Battle Domain, or why it chose this place to bury ancient gods and demons.

Yet Ye Xiaofan’s intuition told him that within the Hundred Sects Battle Domain lies a groundbreaking secret, which even the Divine Sword Sect cannot reach. Perhaps the Royal Race knows some secrets, but not many, since their traces only stop at the Border City Battle Domain.

Silently watching those floating Divine Demon Burial Grounds, Ye Xiaofan couldn’t help but breathe rapidly.

To know that what’s buried here are ancient gods and demons, immortal beings, and any god or demon from here would be terrifying existences unimaginable to cultivators today, now silently lying there, drifting with the waves.

However, had it been Ye Xiaofan in the past facing these, he might have been shocked speechless. But now, he views gods and demons differently.

Perhaps gods and demons are beings who reached a certain cultivation limit, wielding power over all things, with lifespans far exceeding ordinary people. Maybe anyone could become a god or demon.

Are gods and demons truly immortal?

At this moment, Ye Xiaofan didn’t think so. If gods and demons were immortal, what would explain this vast Divine Demon Burial Ground?

Still, regardless of anything, the creatures eternally sleeping there can indeed be defined as ancient gods and demons, for the aura that vibrates the stars is truly like that of a divine spirit.

"Senior Sister, do you know where they ultimately drift towards?" For some unknown reason, Ye Xiaofan instinctively asked, seemingly sensing something or perhaps sensing nothing at all.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxian’s beautiful eyes lightly opened, and she couldn’t help but look towards the end of the Space-Time Barrier.

Everyone only knows that this vast ocean appears endless, and those Divine Demon Burial Grounds continuously drift downstream. As for where they drift, no one knows.

After hearing Luo Qingxian’s words, Ye Xiaofan took a deep breath, deeply shaken inside, though clearly, these were not things the two should be paying attention to right now.

Unexpectedly, after countless years, when Ye Xiaofan once again grasped the origin of the Space-Time Barrier, as he set foot in this place for the second time, looking back at the past, he was completely shocked into silence.

Until many years later, Ye Xiaofan finally realized the Space-Time Barrier he was in today was merely the tip of an iceberg shown by a terrifying force.

And the final destination where these Divine Demon Burial Grounds float is the world where he was born today, though the Divine Demon Burial Grounds he now sees are not on the Martial Soul Continent but continuously exiled back from an interminable distance.

It’s imaginable what kind of scene the place that uses burial grounds to exile gods and demons after death would be.

Perhaps feeling this is the closest he’s ever gotten to gods and demons, Ye Xiaofan, after hearing Luo Qingxian’s words, instinctively flew downward, seeming intent on glimpsing these godly and demonic beings.

However, after flying only a short distance, he suddenly found himself a vast, unimaginable distance away.

As Ye Xiaofan wanted to ascend to those Divine Demon Burial Grounds, Luo Qingxian’s voice echoed.

"It’s futile. Throughout all ages, no one in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range has ever ascended to the Divine Demon Burial Grounds. This is the Space-Time Barrier, affected by the Path of Space and Time. The world below seems close yet is unimaginably distant, even if we flew for a lifetime with our current cultivation, we couldn’t reach there."

After Luo Qingxian finished speaking, Ye Xiaofan halted his form instantly, his eyes filled with even more astonishment.

Yet despite his amazement, Luo Qingxian continued to speak, her voice ringing out repeatedly.

"Junior Brother Ye, do not attempt to probe this realm; nothing can be gleaned from it. What we need to do now is seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cultivate here."

After finishing her words, Luo Qingxian’s beautiful eyes calmly stared at Ye Xiaofan, speaking one word at a time: "Cultivate here, and you have the chance to enter the Self-Slaying Realm or even higher in the True Self Realm before the ultimate battle."

"Before the ultimate battle, step into the Self-Slaying Realm?"

Upon hearing Luo Qingxian’s words, Ye Xiaofan was entirely taken aback, filled with incredulity: "Senior Sister? What do you mean?"

It should be noted that upon arriving here, a month had already been spent, and it would take another month to return. The ultimate battle was only five months away, with a month needed to return to the temporary sect base, leaving only three months for cultivation here. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Moreover, as Luo Qingxian explained, all cultivators have a three-month limit in the Space-Time Barrier; after that, everyone will be teleported out. Three months to enter the Self-Slaying Realm – how is that possible?

Even with talent as frightening as Ye Xiaofan’s, he couldn’t believe he could charge into the Self-Slaying Realm in three months.

This is something talent alone cannot determine; it’s about time. No matter how terrifying a cultivation prodigy, time is needed to advance step by step, not achieving everything at once.

However, what Luo Qingxian said next left Ye Xiaofan in shock and helped him finally understand the most terrifying aspect of the Space-Time Barrier.
