I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Truth Within the Celestial Palace

Han Zhan stepped on Jianmu, ascending to the sky step by step.

He didn’t know how long it took, but he finally reached the Celestial Palace.

The scene of the Celestial Palace was vastly different from what he had imagined.

There were no splendid buildings, no majestic palaces, not even a single Immortal; all that was there were countless white clouds, barely forming a floating island.

Han Zhan left Jianmu and placed his foot firmly down.

The soft feedback under his foot made him experience a feeling of soaring through the clouds and mist.

The sky was vast and boundless, with no end in sight, and Han Zhan didn’t know where the truth left by Shennong lay.

Just as he was searching aimlessly, suddenly a majestic Sword Intent lit up the sky.

The sword light shot towards the sky, piercing through the firmament, carrying an unshakable terrifying momentum, striking towards him.

Locked by this sword light, Han Zhan couldn’t even form a thought of resistance, standing there dazed, watching the sword light swiftly fall upon him.

His eyes were in shock until the sword light passed through his body, and that near-death feeling finally disappeared.

No harm? Han Zhan was stunned for a moment.

The sword light just now was so overwhelming, clearly penetrating his body, yet he was still unharmed.

At this moment, an ancient hoarse roar sounded from behind him.

In a region shrouded by endless darkness, something was being churned by the sword light, rolling and tumbling, a fierce voice emerging from within.

”I didn’t expect that someone in this world has already touched that threshold.”

In the distance, a young man clad in silver-white armor, his face as fair as jade, holding an Immortal Sword, stood there, his gaze sharp and tone imposing. ”Who are you? How dare you covet the origin of this world!”

”I want to devour it, what can you do? You can’t stop me.” The voice within the black mist clearly didn’t regard him as a threat.

While speaking, limitless darkness suddenly spread, engulfing the entire sky in pitch black.

Han Zhan saw a bright light point shining brightly in the corrupted sky.

But outside this glow, it was already covered by a layer of black mist, with constant starlight being absorbed and devoured, disappearing and shrinking.

That should be the origin of the World of Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart. Han Zhan realized in his heart, he also understood that the scene before him was not the present scenario, but rather a past scene left by some means.

This should be the truth Shennong left behind.

The battle in the picture continued.

Seeing that the opponent remained unmoved, the Celestial Palace Immortal Emperor, shrouded in Immortal Energy, was no longer polite, his Immortal Sword transforming into thousands.

Each sword carried the power of the previous one, the countless Immortal Swords piercing the darkness in the sky like raindrops hitting the lake, creating ripples.

”It’s useless, haha, it’s useless! You have just touched that threshold, still far from crossing it, while I, after devouring the origins of ninety-nine worlds, need only this last one to break through and surpass Tier Nine.”

”Even now, you don’t understand the gap between you and me.”

”Stop now, once I devour this world, I can spare your life, allowing you to be a Sword-carrying Child under my command.”

From within the black mist, the ancient voice resounded again, filled with disdain and contempt, laced with seduction.

At the same time, he increased the speed of the black mist’s absorption, and the entire World of Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart began to become dim and fading, seemingly on the verge of shattering, like old, worn-out slides.

The world origin was plundered, and the entire world was in turmoil.

...

Deep Blue City, over the sea.

Li Shutong looked at the last appearing Tier Nine Insect Emperor, Void.

His gaze was filled with exploration. ”I’ve heard that the Tier Nine Insect Emperor ’Void’ never participates in battles between the Insect Race and Human Race, being the most Buddhist of the Insect Emperors. For you to take action today, there must be something you seek. Let me think, what could possibly attract you to target me?”

”There’s no need to test, what if I tell you anyway.” The ancient voice emerged from the endless darkness, ”I am here for the origin. A portion of my origin was intercepted in another world, now that world and the Bodhi Treasure Tree have become one, only a person of destiny can enter. By calculating the time, he should be coming out soon.”

”Once I retrieve my origin, I can complete the fusion, surpass Tier Nine, reaching a higher level.”

Void indeed did not conceal, because in its view, Li Shutong was a dead man, telling him these things would not affect the outcome.

Li Shutong suddenly laughed out loud. ”How confident you are, yet who was it that forcefully cut down the origin back then, sealing it in that world? How can you be so sure you won’t repeat history?”

Li Shutong’s provocative words brought back countless years of memories in Void’s mind, attacking it once more, leaving it no longer calm and extremely angry.

”Shut up!”

While speaking, the area covered by endless darkness further expanded, the dense black fog surging towards Li Shutong.

The latter was already prepared, watching Void’s anger being provoked, he instantly released white mist enveloping his entire body, advancing instead of retreating, crashing into the black fog in a flash.

”Roar!” Beside him, the Tier Nine Insect Emperor ”Mad Beast,” without saying a word, followed Li Shutong’s move entering the region covered by the black mist.

Tier Nine Insect Emperor ”Nightmare,” ”heh,” made a sound, its exposed only pair of pupils closely watching the black mist, Innate Illusion Skill instantly activated.

The great battle was on the brink of erupting!

...

Celestial Palace.

The scene before Han Zhan’s eyes was still changing.

At this moment, the scene was already pitch-black, this terrifying monster ”Void” was frantically devouring the entire world, everything in its path was swallowed, reduced to darkness, endless darkness, then returning to void.

Just like its name.

This process was irresistible.

Even Han Zhan’s pupils looking at the scene became entirely black, almost ready to penetrate through this historical scene, eroding his real body.

Suddenly, a bright light like a blazing sun lit up in the endless darkness, a familiar voice sounded by Han Zhan’s ear.

”Do you want to devour this world, have you asked us?” It was the Shennong Saint Master!

He finally appeared, and not alone.

Just like the scene left in the cave.

After his words rang out, one light after another pierced through the darkness.

Shennong, Su Girl, Immortal Emperor, and several blazing suns whose figures Han Zhan couldn’t make out.

They appeared in nine special positions, seemingly forming some peculiar array, and at the center of this array was the origin being devoured!

At this moment, the origin had been invaded by Void, almost fully devoured, once fusion was complete, it could break through Tier Nine.

This process was irreversible.

Yet even Void hadn’t expected that in such a short time, the ants of this world had actually come up with a way to restrain it.

Unstoppable Void suffered massive damage here!

Using the sky as the array diagram, the earth as the array base, the nine ”blazing suns” as array nodes.

Create the greatest array between heaven and earth!

Such means, simultaneously burning the life of nine Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouses.

This is a one-of-a-kind world-shattering array!
