Chapter 1351: Chapter 1351: Mortal Divine Capital [4 More Updates]
The Heavenly Blood Mining Zone, vast and immense.
This time, Chu Yuan directly ventured into its core depths.
Three ancient legacies.
The Hunyuan Heavenly Sect, the Heavenly Alliance, and the mightiest Cangseng Divine Dynasty.
The distribution of these three legacies was quite intriguing, located respectively in the left, center, and right regions of the Heavenly Blood Mining Zone.
"Passing through the legacy region of the Cangseng Divine Dynasty will lead to the territory of the Heavenly Alliance."
Chu Yuan remarked.
He arrived at the legacy region of the Cangseng Divine Dynasty.
Before him appeared numerous cities, each exuding the unique, ancient, and solemn aura of the Cangseng Divine Dynasty, densely scattered across the area like stars.
He knew that the ruins left by the Cangseng Divine Dynasty consisted of countless cities, with the most central being the Divine Capital of the dynasty in its prime era.
"The legacy of the Cangseng Divine Dynasty is the most perilous. Some areas may appear tranquil but cannot be disturbed. Any disturbance could trigger a chain reaction, activating the God-Slaying Formation. This is a lesson etched in blood, uncovered through countless trials over the ages."
Below Chu Yuan lay an ancient, magnificent city. Judging by its scale, it must have been the domain of a prominent figure of the Cangseng Divine Dynasty.
Yet, he refrained from making any moves.
It was known that, though the city seemed peaceful, a single action could shatter its delicate equilibrium.
He also understood that the Divine Capital was even more perilous. It was said that the Demon Lord of the Myriad Demon Heavens once attempted to breach the Divine Capital, only to awaken a terrifying primordial killing formation so fearsome that even the Demon Lord was forced to flee in disgrace.
The Divine Capital remained a forbidden place that countless powerhouses longed to enter, yet none had succeeded.
"What exactly happened during the era of the Heavenly Blood Epoch?"
Chu Yuan swept past one city after another.
The unscathed cities, devoid of any living beings, gave the illusion that the Cangseng Divine Dynasty still persisted.
"There are many secrets hidden within the multiverse."
Chu Yuan spoke unemotionally: "It’s said that to unlock the Divine Capital, one must first fully uncover the legacies of the Hunyuan Heavenly Sect and the Heavenly Alliance, thereby weakening the power of the Divine Capital itself."
He moved swiftly and, following the guidance of the Heavenly Alliance Token, arrived at an extremely desolate area.
What lay before him appeared utterly ordinary.
Yet, under the guidance of the Heavenly Alliance Token, the legacy of a vice-leader of the Heavenly Alliance was hidden here.
"It must be here. It’s merely concealed by a terrifying formation, requiring the token to unlock it. I can feel where the legacy is hidden."
Chu Yuan’s eyes scanned the area.
To seize the Heavenly Alliance’s legacy, he had to thoroughly investigate the situation first.
Chu Yuan nodded slightly, locking onto the location. However, he maintained his composure and did not immediately use the relic in his hand to unseal the space-time connection.
"Good... there’s no need to open it just yet. It’s unnecessary. Once the three vice-leaders’ legacies are activated, the final main legacy will emerge. If the main legacy appears, even factions as mighty as the Thirty-Three Heavens will descend to contest it. I want more than just this."
A faint smile spread across Chu Yuan’s face.
For now, he chose not to open it.
The Cangseng Divine Dynasty, with all its current power, wasn’t qualified to vie against the Thirty-Three Heavens for the main legacy. At the very least, he needed to ascend several levels in his grasp of the Heavenly Dao, and the dynasty needed more Heavenly Dao Gods.
After all, the initiative rested in his hands for now.
"Let’s go take a look at the Divine Capital of the Cangseng Divine Dynasty."
Unlike the shrouded secrecy of the Heavenly Alliance legacy, the Divine Capital stood brazenly displayed before all. Yet, without sufficient strength, one could only look from afar in wistful yearning, unable to conquer it.
Before long, he arrived at the Divine Capital.
The Divine Capital was vast and majestic beyond imagination. Even the sun and moon seemed like mere points of light before it. It exuded no discernible aura, but the sights within the Divine Capital were visible.
Streets crisscrossing, palaces rising, a labyrinth of intricate structures covered every inch of the massive expanse.
Chu Yuan had seen the fabled Heavenly Court of Qiming, but compared to the Divine Capital, it was like comparing a provincial city to an imperial capital—utterly incomparable.
From the sight of the Divine Capital, one could easily discern the magnitude of the Cangseng Divine Dynasty’s former glory.
Surrounding the Divine Capital were numerous smaller cities, and Chu Yuan could vaguely see many people trying their luck within these outer regions.
It was from one of these smaller cities that someone had once offered Chu Yuan the Heavenly Origin Thunder Tree, a rare and precious find.
"That is the legendary Cangseng Stele."
Flying over the Divine Capital, Chu Yuan remained in the safe distance of the skies. As long as he didn’t trespass, there was no danger. On a grand plaza below, he spotted an ancient stele. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Characters were etched upon the stele.
"Cangseng, Myriad Dao."
"Cangseng—the people of the world, regardless of human, demon, or beast, are all citizens of the Cangseng Divine Dynasty."
Chu Yuan gazed at the stele, his mind pondering deeply.
But just as he was contemplating the stele, the flow of time around him abruptly froze. From above him, a cold flash descended, carrying an overwhelming intent to kill.
This strike was birthed entirely for slaughter.
At this moment, someone had chosen to ambush Chu Yuan.
"Kill!"
A blade gleamed as a powerful figure struck, aiming to cleave Chu Yuan. The slash engulfed Chu Yuan in its radiance, causing one’s thoughts to stagnate, trapping them entirely within the oscillating power of the strike.
"Seeking death!"
With a wave of his hand, Chu Yuan counterattacked. A sharp weapon cleaved through the air in ultimate precision, clashing against the blade’s energy. As his power surged, a shadowy figure appeared—it was a middle-aged man garbed in gray attire.
"The God-Emperor of Divine Might truly lives up to his reputation."
The middle-aged man recognized Chu Yuan, his gaze fixed coldly on him. He spoke stoically: "This strike of mine has been honed ever since I laid eyes on you. Even a third-tier Heavenly Dao God would pay a steep price to block it. Yet, you deflected it with such ease."
There was indeed some surprise in his tone.
"The Blade Killing King of the Slaughter Heaven."
Chu Yuan identified the man’s identity.
He had naturally gathered intelligence on the Heavenly Dao figures across the multiverse.
Slaughter Heaven, one of the Thirty-Three Heavens, was a realm where each practitioner attained their Dao through mastery of killing. Every one of them could be called the most formidable executioners and assassins.
It was often said that offending the strongest heaven of gods was preferable to offending Slaughter Heaven.
Once marked by someone from Slaughter Heaven, one would face relentless challenges and unending bloodshed.
Their Heavenly Lord, the Lord of Slaughter Heaven, was even more terrifying, regarded as the greatest assassin, the supreme executioner. His accomplishments were legendary, including slaying an Ancient God and turning its decapitated head into a drinking cup.
The Fire Ancestor was once betrayed and killed by the God of Fire, who enlisted experts from Slaughter Heaven for the task.
"My name is unworthy of mention!"
The Blade Killing King’s eyes gleamed with an aura of bloodlust. He said, "I thought you only managed to vanquish the Lord of Human Dragons due to the suppression of the Heavenly Will and the Primal Divine Artifact you obtained within Qiming Heaven. It seems I was mistaken. Your strength is formidable in its own right."
Indeed, Chu Yuan’s fame had spread far and wide.
Yet, some doubted it was due to his own Heavenly Dao strength.
Defeating the Lord of Human Dragons?
An impressive feat.
But the Lord of Human Dragons was suppressed by the will of the heavens, unable to fully unleash his third-tier power. Additionally, a Primal Divine Artifact, powered by the Heavenly Origins, had been used.
Otherwise, how could a newly ascended Heavenly Dao God be so unrestrained?
Chu Yuan silently observed him, his expression unreadable.
The Blade Killing King’s hand moved, and in an instant, he transformed into a beam of light, appearing directly before Chu Yuan. His blade radiated intense killing intent as if challenging the very majesty of Chu Yuan.
