Chapter 702: Chapter 79: The Head of the Cyan Nether Celestial Venerate

Kong Xuan gazed in the direction he sensed. There was no light in that world, nothing could be seen, as dark as ink, where one couldn’t even see their own hand.

Yet within that profound darkness, it seemed as if there existed a terrifying entity, eternally coexisting with the Netherworld, swallowing endless Essence Qi, even the Void was devoured, leaving nothing in its wake.

As Kong Xuan’s eyes fixed on that patch of darkness, he felt as if his body was about to shatter, the Undying Saber in his hand roared violently, a chilling cold pierced into the depths of his Divine Soul.

"Is that...?! The corpse of a Celestial Venerate?"

Kong Xuan used his Divine Techniques to perceive, sensing an ancient Copper Coffin ahead, mottled with rust, lying transversely in front.

The existence within the coffin seemed to have been buried for countless ages, yet now it seemed to possess a hint of vitality, causing him to be astonished.

"Could it be the remains of an ancient Celestial Venerate undergoing a corpse transformation?"

Kong Xuan tightly gripped the Undying Saber, spreading the Five-Colored Divine Light like a curtain of rain covering him completely, then slowly moved forward.

In the silent turbulence of the Void, there was not a sound, only an eerie stillness that made one’s hair stand on end.

He walked forward slowly, approaching the ancient Copper Coffin.

An ancient Celestial Venerate’s corpse was buried in this turbulence of the Void, in this place on the border between the human world and the Netherworld, it was miraculously reborn with vitality.

Kong Xuan gradually neared, the Five-Colored Divine Light protecting him, preventing him from being swallowed by that deep and terrifying devouring force.

Upon closely observing, it was more apparent how ancient and mysterious the coffin was, the material very special, seeming like mundane bronze, but actually forged from numerous Divine Materials.

He discovered traces of Chaos Divine Iron within, a divine material indestructible even in Chaos, used to craft the coffin, allowing it to remain undying for hundreds of thousands of years in the turbulence between the two realms.

Kong Xuan attempted to extend his Divine Thought for probing, but was astonished to find that the coffin could block his powerful Spiritual Will, making it impenetrable to scrutiny.

Yet at that moment, the Undying Saber hummed, and the Impermanence Bell emitted a clear sound, a formless Secret Power merging with his spirit, allowing him to immediately sense the situation inside the coffin.

The coffin, seemingly small from the outside, contained a universe within, like an ancient world, with various pavilions and ancient buildings stretching endlessly.

But with the endless flow of time, everything inside appeared dilapidated, for time is the most terrifying force, eroding everything until none can escape its reckoning.

In this coffin world, there was neither Great Sun nor stars, but a bright moon hung high, casting cold moonlight.

As Kong Xuan sensed the bright moon, his pupils suddenly contracted, his scalp tingled, a chill spreading to his very core, causing him to involuntarily take a sharp breath.

"That is..."

He saw a human skull, pure and crystalline like a masterpiece of heaven, quietly suspended at the center of the moon, motionless, exuding a soft glow.

"She..."

Kong Xuan’s heart thumped violently, for upon seeing this skull, he felt an inexplicable closeness and familiarity, as if they were acquainted in ancient times.

"Who is she?"

A thought flashed in his mind, with some kind of vague conjecture, "Could it be the remains of the Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable?"

Yet the skull seemed ancient, with the aura of time flowing over it for at least hundreds of thousands of years, while the Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable was a contemporary, so how could she have lived through such ancient times?

"No, there are writings on this skull..."

Kong Xuan quickly focused, noticing indescribably ancient writings engraved within the interior of the skull, resembling Divine Text from the beginning of the world, radiating inexplicable Tao Rhyme.

Although he did not understand these Divine Texts, when perceiving them with his spirit, he naturally grasped the meanings conveyed by these Divine Patterns.

"I have been abandoned, this is a forgotten time-space, when will I go home..."

In a haze, Kong Xuan seemed to hear a woman’s mournful sigh, his heart immensely shaken.

"It truly involves the Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable!"

She appears to not belong to the Three Realms, moreover saying this is a forgotten time-space, what could this possibly mean?

He couldn’t help but shudder at the thought, feeling he was about to touch upon ancient truths within the Three Realms.

Why is there no passage of time currently in the Three Realms, why can the Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable reverse time, how did all this come to be?

What exactly is her origin?

Why are the Three Realms also called the Lost Land?

Kong Xuan impatiently attempted to sense further, his mind went into a daze, and all scenes disappeared.

There were other Divine Texts engraved within the skull, what he had seen was just the tip of the iceberg, if he could view them all, perhaps he could unravel the doubts in his heart.

But it seemed an invisible force severed time-space, blocking his sight and perception, making it difficult to continue watching.

Kong Xuan came back to his senses, realizing only then that both the Undying Saber and the Impermanence Bell had dimmed, as if massive reserves had been spent.

"Click" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Kong Xuan’s expression suddenly froze, he heard a sound from within the coffin, instantly feeling hair-raising terror, something was happening inside, something trying to emerge?

Could that skull still have a spark of life, attempting to come back to life?

Or perhaps that skull had undergone a sinister change, birthing new life from the remains?

At this thought, goosebumps rose all over Kong Xuan, a chill spreading, the origins of the Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable were too ancient and mysterious, he felt inexplicably uneasy and apprehensive.

"Click"

This time he heard it clearly, the sound coming from inside the coffin, his expression turned somber.

Things had developed to such a point it was impossible to leave easily, the coffin contained great secrets, more importantly, this place was within Void turbulence, once he left, it would be hard to find again.

That coffin seemed to possess a Secret Power that could isolate time-space, could halt time, could devour all, leaving no trace of life, cause, or destiny.

He took a deep breath, operating the Five-Colored Divine Light, nourishing the Undying Saber, his gaze gradually turning cold.

"Buzz"

A strange sound echoed, like the howling of an ape, or the wailing of a baby, the vibrations were terrifying, an evil and malevolent intent surged into Kong Xuan’s mind, attempting to cleave it open.

"Boom!"

The protective five-colored radiance quaked violently, as if struck by a hammer weighing millions of pounds, Kong Xuan almost flew into the turbulence of the Void, retreating hundreds of meters.

If not for the Undying Saber emitting a dim glow, slicing through the Void turbulence, and the Impermanence Bell vibrating to stabilize time-space, he would have encountered terrifying peril.

There was indeed a living entity within the coffin.

The burial place of a Celestial Venerate existing for hundreds of thousands of years, the coffin entombing ancient Celestial Venerate remains gave birth to a being, how fearsome a matter is this.

The most crucial point is that the aura emanating from this entity was vicious and malevolent, clearly no benevolent being.

"Boom!"

Kong Xuan’s ears caught sounds akin to gnashing teeth, the ancient Copper Coffin trembled, as if a horrifying presence was crashing against the coffin lid, trying to climb out.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The sound was incredibly piercing, as if a creature was repeatedly wrenching at the coffin with sharp claws.

Soon, this ancient Copper Coffin revealed a crack, black flames gushed out like a tide, although flames, they were unbearably viscous, even the Void twisted from being burned.

It’s undeniable how astonishing these black flames were, even igniting the Five-Colored Divine Light protecting Kong Xuan.

"I shall see what exactly this is!"

His expression grew colder, the Undying Saber in his hand hummed, the bell emitted a crisp sound, stabilizing time-space.

On the blade, five-colored halos swirled, accumulating its edge ceaselessly.

When the entity within the coffin emerged, what awaited it would be an earth-shattering strike.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The pounding from within the coffin grew increasingly intense, accompanied by sharp, grating screams and roars, making one’s scalp tingle.
