Chapter 918: The Seventh Yuan Shen Secret Realm
"Stone Sentinel Maze!"
Zhong Yue shouted and without hesitation, Chi Song and the 1,600,000 gods threw in everything they had to activate the Stone Sentinel Maze. In an instant, fierce energy was channeled into Zhong Yue's body and Yuan Shen, filling all his six Yuan Shen secret realms.
As the energy surged within Zhong Yue, he directed it into the ancient ship, further increasing its speed and the ship sailed towards the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture.
Not fast enough!
Zhong Yue felt a little dizzy as his senses warned him about an imminent danger, which caused him to release a roar right before he forcefully channeled energy into his body and Yuan Shen secret realms!
After researching the innate gods' body with Feng Xiaozhong, they'd discovered the countless secret realms in the innate god's body and the strange innate patterns branded onto the secret realms; the six great secret realms were just the combination of the larger secret realms in their body.
Feng Xiaozhong was even more extreme. He messed up the secret realms in his body after trying to replicate the secret realms within the innate gods' body and ended up burdening his body and Yuan Shen greatly. Time and time again, he continuously gambled with his life in order to obtain absolute power.
Zhong Yue, on the other hand, was much more cautious. Each time, he only tried to open up a few secret realms and stopped when he deemed necessary.
Yet now, he was opening a few hundred secret realms in one breath, had the energy coming from Stone Sentinel Maze surged within him in order to raise his strength and this posed great risk!
But again, he was not reckless in making this decision for these secret realms that he was opening all possessed the same element, the element of space!
Through his deepened understanding towards the word 'Yu' within the innate gods' Dao language, which was the ancient Deity Kings' understandings towards the Space Dao, and the addition of the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture]'s explanation on space and the old clan master, Feng Changyang's knowledge that further completed [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], Zhong Yue's understanding towards space was far beyond almost everyone!
Hence, though there was still a great risk in developing these Space Secret Realms, the process was still not as dangerous as Feng Xiaozhong's.
As the Space Secret Realms were opened forcefully, Zhong Yue's body and Yuan Shen were torn apart and the burden on them hiked to the limit in an instant to a point where he was almost crushed!
When Dao Venerate Fu Min created the Six Paths, he infused the sixth secret realm, the Bloodline Secret Realm, into the totem pattern cultivation system. Only after gathering the wisdom of many strong magnates did he succeed.
The sixth secret realm creation allowed the living beings to have a tiny Six Paths Reincarnation that linked the body and Yuan Shen closely and obtain tremendous power from it.
And when Goddess Hou Tu created the Reincarnation, she perfected the great universe's Six Paths Reincarnation's system, gave the living beings' soul a chance to reborn after their death and she changed the universe's situation from then.
With that, the Six Paths was finally born.
Zhong Yue now wanted to create another Path on top of the Six Paths, making them into Seven Paths, which was basically impossible!
Completing the Six Paths Reincarnation with a complete seventh Path and perfecting the totem pattern cultivation system required great intelligence and this was not something he could pull off with his current achievements.
Without pausing, he opened up a few hundred independent Space Secret Realms but these secret realms were not be able to turn into the seventh secret realm. As such, though Zhong Yue's strength was increased drastically, he was also sustaining great pressure that his body and Yuan Shen were showing signs of crumbling!
To make matters worse, he was now in the Creator's level, which amplified the burden even more to a point that his Dao Yi, Shen Cai, Yin Yang, Wan Xiang, Wu Xing, and Bloodline Secret Realms were about to be crushed!
Zhong Yue's skin burst apart and blood gushed out but he still remained standing.
This was merely exterior injuries and the worst ones were within his body and Yuan Shen. While the newly developed Space Secret Realms were respectively smaller, they still brought great damage to both his Yuan Shen and body!
On the bright side, his strength increased greatly and allowed him to push the ship's speed even more!
The ancient ship flew so quick that it couldn't avoid the spatial-temporal fragments in time. It rammed right through them; as the thousand pairs of wings flapped, they sliced through the space and even when the fragments possessed great power, they were ripped apart right away!
The rampaging black holes within the shattered heaven and earth in Heaven Suppression Palace were also sliced apart as the ship passed by.
The ship then charged right through the terrifying elements but not before tearing them up!
Hong long—
Stars after stars, this ancient ship shattered them without any efforts. It had indeed lived up to its name as a top item created by the combined power of the Dark Age's ancient Deity Kings. This ship's power was definitely no weaker than monarch level weapons, if not, stronger!
But even so, it was still not as strong as the destructive power approaching quickly from the back; behind them, the terrifying shockwaves created by the clashes between the energy unleashed by the powerful drum and the 30 Heavenly Daos unleashed by Great Si Ming had devoured everything they passed. The rampaging elements, including the black holes, stars, every dangerous land, and everything was destroyed in a blink of an eye, leaving absolutely nothing behind!
Zhong Yue had not the slightest clue if this ship could sustain such monstrous shockwaves and even if the ancient ship was strong enough to take on the impact, would he be able to?
Would the gods under his command be able to escape unscathed?
These uncertainties had left him no choice but to flee!
Flee as hard as he can and perhaps, he could win a chance of survival!
Far away, the gates of the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture became clearer as he got closer and all he needed was just a moment, a little window of time until he escaped from this dangerous place!
Behind the ship, the terrifying energy finally caught up and in just an instant, this ship poured with the prehistoric innate Deity Kings' efforts was flipped upside down and hurled towards the gates!
The ship shrieked under the pressure and it suffered great damage under the terrifying shockwaves, tearing the ship's sails into pieces and opening holes on the wings!
Right now, Zhong Yue had already taken shelter within the cabin and all he heard were rumbling.
The ancient ship tumbled around and Zhong Yue, who was in the cabin was thrown everywhere by the momentum, slamming him onto the walls time and time again, leaving him seriously injured.
Then, with the addition of forcefully opening the Space Secret Realms, his injuries were already at the limit and he could no longer sustain any more injuries; if it were only his body that was killed in the process, it would still be acceptable. But there was a chance his spirit and soul would disappear forever, which will make him dead for real!
The Six Paths Bead!
Just as he was about to enter to bead to escape from the danger, the ancient ship stopped rolling around and came to a stop.
Zhong Yue was slightly stunned. When he stood up, he reached his head out. The ancient ship had already sailed out from the shockwave area at some point and was now outside of the Heaven Suppression Palace.
Outside the gates, the shockwaves charged out, drawing an alluring rainbow in the air above the Zi Wei Galaxy.
Such terrifying shockwaves, perhaps even someone as powerful as Great Si Ming would suffer heavy injuries if struck by it directly?
Zhong Yue thought, Now that the rainbow appeared, it will definitely attract the attention of those terrifying existences in the Zi Wei Galaxy. This place is not safe anymore. I have to return to the fortress as soon as possible or I will lose my life.
He then struggled out from the cabin and arrived at the deck. He looked around and saw a heavily damaged ship that was in a state no better than when it was initially salvaged out of the river.
While the ship's body was not as badly damaged, it's sails were already unusable right now and its wings were heavily damaged with holes everywhere.
The other parts of the ship were also severely wrecked.
Zhong Yue then forced himself to channel power into the ship as he tried to maneuver it. He soon discovered that the ship was still functioning, and so with that, he immediately set sail towards the Zi Wei Galaxy.
Throughout his journey, there were no more chaotic time flow torrents, the journey was very safe but just as he left, the Heaven Suppression Palace trembled before vanishing completely.
However, looking up from the ground, the palace could be seen clearly and Zhong Yue looked at the vanished Heaven Suppression Palace with mixed feelings as he did not know this was a good or a bad thing.
Great Si Ming, must have been resurrected....
Great Si Ming had returned to life with immeasurable hatred. The good thing was that the surviving ancient ones will now be occupied entirely to deal with Great Si Ming.
And judging from the situation, Great Si Ming's enemies were the same ones that the Fuxi Celestial Race had. Hence, Great Si MIng's resurrection would give Zhong Yue some time to breathe and grow.
But the side effect was pretty obvious too, the Great Si Ming now was not the benevolent Great Si Ming he used to be.
Now, all that was left of Great Si Ming was his brutal persona that allowed him to conquer the world with blood and steel in the ancient past.
And who had the guts to say that they will not be dragged into the torrent of chaos?
When a house was on fire, the houses next to it will be caught in the fire, let alone a world destined to be torched by Great Si Ming?
Goddess Shen Hou did not wish for Great Si Ming's resurrection and that might be the reason. He will drag everyone into his rage and that was not good news to anyone.
As the previous body of Goddess Hou Tu, Goddess Shen Hou was once the subordinate of Great Si Ming. She took part in the Dao language branding that served to resurrect Great Si Ming but at the same time, she inherited Goddess Hou Tu's kindness; she was unwilling to see the world being set ablaze. Hence, she would rather Great Si Ming to remain dead.
Trembling, the ancient ship slowly make its way towards Heaven Suppression Fortress and finally safely landed before King's Palace. Blood was still gushing out from Zhong Yue's wounds as the pressure from forcefully opening up hundreds of Space Secret Realms intensified every minute.
It was also because of him no longer being able to sustain injuries that the ship constantly trembled as it sailed.
Zhong Yue dispersed the Innate Celestial Demon Yin Yang Stone Sentinel Maze and released the Xian Tian Royal Guards from his Yuan Shen. The countless gods collapsed onto the ground, each panting heavily and injured severely.
Zhong Yue struggled up and entered the Six Paths Bead. Finally, he could no longer keep himself together and his conscious was fading away. However, just right before he lost himself, he saw Yin Fanxuan running towards him.
