Chapter 1472: Kunlun Ruins
Translator: Legge
Although Su Zimo and Demoness Ji were hiding in the library, they could still sense the situation outside using their spirit consciousnesses.
Both of them exchanged glances and could see the shock in the other’s eyes!
The power of the Mahayana realm was completely beyond the other realms!
For those beneath Golden Core realm, they would mostly fight in melee combat with spirit arts.
There were many more techniques above the Golden Core realm such as Dharmic arts, secret skills, Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristics and Essence Spirit fights.
For Mahayana Patriarchs, divine powers were the strongest!
Divine powers were also the biggest difference between Ancestor realm experts and Conjoint Body Mighty Figures!
Although the divine power released by the storyteller did not look like anything much, its might was extremely terrifying.
Even a Blood Vine Patriarch’s body was torn into a blood mist!
“It’s fine now, come on out,”
Just as Su Zimo and Demoness Ji were letting their imaginations run wild, the voice of the storyteller sounded and the door to the library opened.
“Thank you for saving me, senior,”
Su Zimo came before the storyteller and bowed deeply.
“It’s nothing,”
The storyteller shook his head slightly but there was still a hint of worry on his face.
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he vaguely guessed something. He probed, “Senior, Enigma Palace won’t be able to dispel the Killing Badge on me either, right?”
“Yes,”
The storyteller did not hide anything and nodded.
Suddenly, Su Zimo recalled the scene when Patriarch Blood Fortune arrived outside Enigma Palace—the latter did not seem entirely certain that Su Zimo was in Enigma Palace either!
Right then, the storyteller explained, “When I saw the Killing Badge on your body, I used a divine power to seal your aura temporarily, concealing the heavenly secrets!”
Suddenly, Su Zimo was enlightened.
After realizing that something was amiss, the storyteller waved both hands in front of him and released a boundless energy that enveloped the skies of Enigma Palace.
So, the storyteller had already released a divine power at that time!
The storyteller said, “With this divine power, even Mahayana Patriarchs of the primordial races won’t be able to discover you. However…”
After a brief pause, he continued, “If Emperors of the Blood Vine or Heavenly Eye race were to arrive, my divine power would probably be exposed.”
Su Zimo’s eyes lit up.
In Tianhuang Mainland, as an Emperor, the storyteller was definitely one of the strongest cultivators he had encountered so far.
However, even the storyteller and Enigma Palace could not do anything about it.
This meant that other sects like Ethereal Peak and Hundred Refinement Sect would be even more helpless!
Although Tianhuang Mainland was huge, there was nowhere he could hide with the Killing Badge!
“What should we do then?”
Demoness Ji was a little anxious. “Senior, you’re divinely powerful. You definitely have a solution.”
“Senior, since Enigma Palace doesn’t have a way either, I’ll leave tomorrow,”
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
To be fair, he had no clue where he should go next either.
However, he would not benefit from staying in Enigma Palace apart from implicating it.
“To think that I would be in such a state after the battle at Six Stars Mountain,”
Su Zimo murmured internally.
Although he obtained the Ashoka Wood, he also had the Killing Badge planted on him and would eventually be hunted down by the Blood Vine race. There was no time or place for him to refine and cultivate it!
The outcome of this Green Lotus True Body was probably decided.
This was a hopeless situation!
The storyteller looked at Su Zimo deeply and suddenly asked, “Do you regret it?”
“Mmm?”
Su Zimo was stunned for a moment before he understood that the storyteller was asking him if he regretted the battle at Six Stars Mountain.
He burst into laughter and shook his head. “I don’t. Even if I have to do it again, I would have killed my way through Six Stars Mountain!”
“As expected of Desolate Martial,”
The storyteller nodded in satisfaction and praised.
“Actually, there’s still a way for you to dispel the Killing Badge on your body and get out of this deadly situation,” Suddenly, he said.
Delighted, Su Zimo asked hurriedly, “Senior, please explain.”
The storyteller narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “There’s an unknown place in Tianhuang Mainland that even Mahayana Patriarchs and the various Emperors don’t dare to step foot into!”
“Ah?
Su Zimo asked, “Even Emperors of the primordial races don’t dare to step foot in?”
“That’s a forbidden ground for the primordial races!”
The storyteller’s words were shocking.
In the cultivation world, the nine forbidden grounds for the human race actually corresponded to the habitat of the Primordial Nine Races.
But now, for the first time, Su Zimo was hearing of a place in Tianhuang Mainland that was a forbidden ground for the primordial races such that even their Emperors won’t dare to step foot in!
“Senior, are you referring to that place…”
As though she recalled something, Demoness Ji looked to the west instinctively.
“That’s right,”
The storyteller nodded. “Extreme West, Kunlun Ruins!”
“Kunlun Ruins.”
Su Zimo murmured softly.
That was a name that was extremely foreign to him.
“What is that place?”
He could not help but ask.
“Nobody knows what’s there or what that place even is,”
The storyteller shook his head. “However, one thing is certain… that was the final battlefield of the primordial war!”
The primordial war!
Su Zimo was shocked.
The storyteller said in a deep voice, “To be precise, that place was originally called Kunlun but because of an apocalyptic battle that turned into a massive ruin, it was later known as the Kunlun Ruins.”
“It’s said that in the primordial war, the Taboo Dragon Phoenix and Kun Peng led eight primordial races and countless races to attack Kunlun, fighting against the ten thousand races led by the Taboo Hou.”
“Mmm? Hold on!”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat and he suddenly asked, “Senior, shouldn’t it be the Primordial Nine Races?”
The storyteller shook his head. “According to the records of Founder Master Ling Long, there were only eight primordial races at the start of the primordial era.”
“The God race only appeared in the late-stage of the primordial era and weren’t strong enough at the time of the primordial war.”
Su Zimo furrowed his brows slightly.
For some unknown reason, he had a feeling that something unusual was hidden within. However, he could not figure it out at the moment.
The storyteller’s description of the primordial war was somewhat different from the Illumination Dragon Grand Elder.
After all, that was something from the primordial era.
Even for the Thousand Demon Tribulation and Astral Tribulation that happened 20,000 to 30,000 years ago, it was difficult to know the truth, let alone a war that happened countless years ago.
The only thing they were certain of was that the primordial war was indeed extremely tragic—it was much more tragic than the war between the human race and the Primordial Nine Races in the ancient era!
Countless races were wiped out in the primordial war!
Indeed, all three taboos died in that battle as well!
Because of that, the Primordial Nine Races suffered immense losses.
Because of that, the primordial era came to an end.
Thereafter, it entered the ancient era where humans took advantage of the situation to rise and the cultivation civilization flourished, welcoming a glorious era.. Finally, an ancient war against the Primordial Nine Races broke out.
