Chapter 649 - Outbreak

Chapter 649 – Outbreak
As they flew closer to the black hole, the tidal force became stronger and suddenly, the power of those demon gods in the courtyard gushed towards the black hole uncontrollably.

Hah! Halt! Stop!
The demon gods shouted as they tried to halt the movements of that black hole while the courtyard flew into it.
Darkness engulfed the surroundings, but the divine ray illuminated by the courtyard remained steady, shining brightly and chasing away the darkness.
Zhong Yue was amazed but shocked at the same time; the power displayed by these demon gods had managed to freeze a black hole!
What shook him the most was that the Realm Lord and Heavenly King Shang did not even do anything!
No one knew how strong these two were, and there were not even a single clue about their power but their power was definitely stronger than the combined power of those countless demon gods out there!
But this is perfectly normal, isn’t it? Everyone here are the cream of the crop of the entire Prison Realm.
Zhong Yue thought, Could it be that the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave was hidden in this black hole?
He had once seen something similar to this — the Returning Ruins.
The Returning Ruins was hidden within a black hole, but compared to this, the black hole of Gui Xu was so much larger than this. That black hole of the Returning Ruins was formed when the entire galaxy crumbled, granting it a power so strong that it could effortlessly crush everything.
The black hole of Returning Ruins was completely out of the league of this black hole.
Though dwarfed by the black hole of Returning Ruins, this black hole of Ancient Land of the Gods Grave was still incredibly powerful.

It is called as Ancient Land of the Gods Grave because the two words in this name, god and grave, contain deep meanings.

Bi suddenly said,
Rumours had it that this black hole was created by a powerful god in the ancient days and the entire Ancient Land of the Gods Grave was hidden in this black hole by that god.


Then what is the meaning behind the other words?
asked a curious Bai Canghai.

Ancient Land. It was referring to the ancient era where Ancient Land of the Gods Grave was created and how it looked like a huge hell.

An replied,
A terrible place this is. Gods were buried here.

With their knowledge, the brothers managed to catch the attention of the others and a lady asked,
So who found this place?


Not who, but how.
Bi laughed,
This place was coincidentally discovered back in that era when the then Realm Lord seized an old man. The Realm Lord failed to destroy this old man himself so he tried to send the prisoner into a black hole to slowly kill him off. The black hole that that Realm Lord had chosen was this black hole hiding the entire Ancient Land of the Gods Grave.


And?
Another Qi Practitioner asked.

Then the Realm Lord lost his life here when he tried to explore the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave, but his prisoner, that old man survived and triumphed as the new Realm Lord of the Prison Realm.

An’s golden hair fluttered along with the wind as he said,
Not even the Book of Life and Death could control the fate of those on that level. The Realm Lord wanted to kill the prisoner but never foresaw his own demise that resulted in the prisoner taking his thrown.

Bi then said again,
After this incident, the name of this place spread across the entire Six Paths World, catching the attention of all the other Realm Lords, attracting them to this place for more exploration. However, with that powerful restriction power here, they suffered heavy losses and by then, news from the other Six Path Worlds reported that there were Ancient Land of the Gods Grave for each world but they were all hidden away in an attempt seemingly trying to hide these Ancient Land of the Gods Grave and some sort of secret.
A Qi Practitioner asked,
The creation of the Six Path Worlds and Six Path Wheels was a very great and sacred thing. Why would they try to keep this as a secret? Could it be that there are something not to be spoken off?


That, we do not know.
answered Bi and An.
Meanwhile, the courtyard continued floating and travelling deep into the black hole with no end while the Qi Practitioners were dismissed. They started to look for a place in the courtyard to begin their meditation.
Jun Sixie was among one of them; back in the Left Fang ship, Zhong Yue passed the precious herbs and materials he obtained from Hell to Jun Sixie.
After selecting those suitable for her cultivation, Jun Sixie immediately started her cultivation.
Among those things given to her by Zhong Yue, there was something called Jade Dew of Heaven’s Court; something very rare even to Zhong Yue; every drop of the rain dew in those bottles was equivalent to a pool of jade liquid, and the rain dew possessed an incredible power that could restructure and rebuild one’s body and mind!
If she had consumed two drops of rain dews, the benefits she would stand to gain could only be imagined.
And to Jun Sixie, what was most important for her was the tributary of the Hell River!
She was an Innate Water Spirit Body, and although the Hell River was a Yin-aligned river, it was still water, making it extremely useful to Jun Sixie; it was so compatible and beneficial to her that it could greatly increase the chances of Jun Sixie awakening her Innate Water Spirit!
Following right after the tributary Hell River was the Hell King Pearl. The pearl was made from the condensed Yin Qi created after the river water of Hell River evaporated. The main function of this pearl to Jun Sixie was so that it could enhance the speed of her absorption of the power of the Hell River in order to uncover the veil of awakening.
Other than that, Zhong Yue gifted her with many other precious items again in order for her to refined her sword zither.
After resigning as the headmaster of Swords Gate, Jun Sixie had a lot of time to train herself, but after abandoning it for such a long time, she was unable to achieve a higher level and reforge her zither it into an Extreme Weapon.
But with whatever was given to her by Zhong Yue and her own talents, she would be able to do this in no time as long as she devoted her full attention to her cultivation.
And only by awakening her true spirit and refining her soul weapon into an Extreme Weapon would she be able to obtain power on par with those experts out there.
If she failed, then she would only be a burden to Zhong Yue just as Zhen Yao said.
Thus, just imagine the pressure on Jun Sixie!
The time flow in the black hole was slow; a few days in here was barely even an entire day on the outside.
As they continued advancing into the black hole, they realized that there was no sign of an end to the path they were travelling on.
Zhong Yue too, selected a place to cultivate with a peaceful mind and heart, preparing himself for any potential dangers as he also needed to awaken his spirit and soul.
After another few days, the advancement speed of the courtyard slowed down as if it were halted by some kind of unseen power as it traveled; the entire courtyard shook vigorously and the trembling became stronger as time passed.
And it was only up until now that the Realm Lord finally acted; he reached out his palms, held off the unseen power supported sufficient energy for the courtyard to keep on travelling again.
Two days later, the courtyard shook lightly before coming into a complete stop while light came from the core of the black hole that looked like candlelight that could go off anytime soon.
But when Zhong Yue looked toward the light with his divine eye, he realized that the light was actually a huge land. It appeared to be a light ball because it was covered by divine rays and looked small only because of the distance between them.
They had finally arrived at the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave.
As they arrived, the many Qi Practitioners stood up and looked at the light excitingly.

Lay down the bridge,
shouted the officers.
All of a sudden, countless divine weapons flew out from the courtyard; the demon gods of the Prison Realm not taking part in the competition raised their arms and sent their divine weapons flying to the front, forming a huge bridge of divine weapons.
The divine weapons clashed, deflecting each other toward the front, and as they clashed, they formed a bridge that slowly extended all the way into the black hole and into the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave.
In the end, the many dharma kings shouted and activated their soul weapons, shooting them out like meteors that slammed onto the end of the bridge before they became part of this bridge!
Finally, as the final weapon laid onto the structure, a marvelous bridge was formed, connecting the courtyard with the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave!
The Realm Lord then took out a palm sized altar with various tiny colourful pillars made with needles. He took a breath and he hurled the altar right towards the end of the bridge.
And once he got to the opposite side of the bridge, this tiny altar enlarged and turned into a huge portal.
Upon seeing this, the demon gods present bowed and prayed to the end of the bridge before colourful rays shot down from the skies, covering everyone as the teleportal was activated.

My friends, let’s go,
said the Realm Lord.
Right away, one after another demon gods dashed towards the front and charged towards the end of the bridge.
Zhong Yue, Jun Sixie, Qiu Jin’er and Bai Canghai moved together and they too, started advancing.
Suddenly, tremendous clashes came from the front before blood rained down from the skies and a head fell onto the ground not far away from the four of them.

They are starting it already?

Zhong Yue looked at the unfamiliar face lying on the ground; this Qi Practitioner did not achieve an immortal body like Zhong Yue. Though immense life force surged across the body of this beheaded Qi Practitioner, this Qi Practitioner did not survive after his head was beheaded because of this reason.
With a frown, Zhong Yue looked towards the bridge where fierce battles took place; the Qi Practitioners from the many galaxies charged towards the teleportal while they attacked each other without holding back in order to gain the upper hand against their foes.
This bridge was extremely narrow and the protection of these divine weapons were limited; only one person could get onto the bridge at one time and if not careful, one would be crushed to death by the black hole if that person fell off from the bridge!

Jin’er could make it, but Senior Martial Sister Jun and Brother Bai definitely couldn’t. We have to be the last to cross this bridge.

As soon as he thought of this, he tried to back off from the bridge but suddenly, an unknown hostile launched a powerful energy wave at him. But Zhong Yue dodged it easily with his quick reflexes.

Under the bridge!
Zhong Yue shouted as he led the group to the bottom of the bridge.
Right away, Jun Sixie and the others understood his intention and they all hurried towards the bottom of the bridge while dodging the attacks from the hostiles. However, it was not only them that realized this as there were also many others that came charging towards the bottom of the bridge before dashing towards the front.
With that, it did not take long until the battle spread toward the bottom of the bridge; different battles occured at the top and the bottom of the bridge, but now, there were even people fighting each other at the very side of the bridge!
Chaos descended upon the surroundings but the most lethal force was the merciless power of the black hole.
Cold sweat dripped down Zhong Yue’s forehead; it was not easy for him to guard Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai at the same time in a tough battle like this. If he was not careful enough, he could even lose his life in this battle too!

Human. If not now, when!? Besides, where can I possibly find you in the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave?

Reverse Emperor came charging out from nowhere; he swung his blood axe around with vigorous battle intent and he shouted,
Why don’t we duel each other to death on this bridge!

The hairband of Zhong Yue burst part suddenly, rage filled Zhong Yue and he shouted back,
Come then!
