Chapter 842: The Reaper
The group entered the White Night Clan's territory.
Chen Futu briefly told the old man about the Baiye Clan of Lizhou and took out the remains of the Baiye Ancestor. Although he was a puppeteer, it was still a way to preserve the corpse.
The old patriarch sighed, "No wonder my younger brother hasn't returned; he's dead..."
"The person has passed away, there is no need to grieve. Erecting a monument to commemorate him is also a way of returning him to his ancestral home."
"Yes, I will have someone do it right away."
The White Night Ancestor immediately ordered the clan elders to handle the matter.
One day later, the body of Baiye Yuanzu was buried in the cemetery, and his memorial tablet was returned to Baiye Ancestral Temple.
Chen Futu personally lit three incense sticks, fulfilling a long-cherished wish.
The next step was to inquire about the past of Bai Ye Yuanzu and the secrets of the Burial God Abyss.
According to Baiye Laozu, Yuanzu was his youngest brother, born of the same mother.
The Baiye clan is skilled at finding treasures in the earth's veins, but they are cursed and their later years are fraught with misfortune. The progenitor left the clan in order to find a way to break the curse, not because he broke with the clan as rumored.
As for the origin of the Burial God Abyss, legend has it that in ancient times, a mysterious war god fought a great battle here, leaving behind the abyss.
It is estimated that he fought against the powerful being who embodied the curse, and ultimately passed away. However, his divine spirit did not dissipate, otherwise his divine weapon gourd would not have appeared to resist the fog when the calamity came.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Futu descended into the abyss alone and found the gourd with the help of the Earth Domain. It was an underground world that had been destroyed and contained the remnants of a martial god, but unfortunately, he did not see the god's body.
"It truly is a divine weapon, imbued with the laws of space. No wonder it can withstand the invasion of the earth's veins."
Chen Futu had no shortage of divine weapons, nor did he take back the gourd, so he simply let it stubbornly guard the burial site of its master.
After resolving the matter concerning the Baiye clan, Chen Futu stayed in the Burial God Abyss for a few more days before returning to Danshan Caotang.
Liu Shenmiao and Lan Xinyu asked to accompany him, and Chen Futu did not refuse.
Anyway, letting them leave means they'll either be fighting or on their way to fighting, so it's better to keep the two of them in the thatched cottage to serve tea and water.
Days passed by, and several years went by in the blink of an eye.
Dan Yunzi refined the divine pill, successfully overcame his unique tribulation in the mortal world, and advanced to the realm of gods.
Chen Futu gave the two divine pills to Liu Shenmiao and Lan Xinyu respectively, and under his personal witness, the three of them made a vow to protect the continent.
Subsequently, news also arrived from the Celestial Mystery Clan.
Qin Xiaoman's eyes recovered, and after discussion, the ancestors of the Tianji Clan finally agreed to let Qin Xiaoman follow Chen Futu to the upper realm.
That day, Qin Xiaoman returned. She removed the black gauze, revealing a pair of bright black eyes that seemed to be the interplay of yin and yang, quite mystical.
Moreover, she brought back a miniature array pattern, which was used to conceal the secrets of heaven.
"If you calculate the time, that day will arrive in about six months."
Chen Futu stood on the edge of the cliff of the thatched cottage, gazing at the sky, his heart as still as a deep well.
Over the years, his heart has become more and more composed. However, after entering the Boundless Realm, he stands alone at the pinnacle, feeling somewhat lonely. If a powerful figure from the upper realm were to descend, he could finally stretch his legs and move around a bit.
"Do people really descend to the mortal realm?"
Lan Xinyu was slightly excited; she wanted to test her skills against the people from the Upper Realm.
Liu Shenmiao said disdainfully, "Don't even think about it. We'd be wasting our time fighting that kind of being."
"Hmph, the Jia clan has always been arrogant, why are you, Holy Maiden, so cowardly?"
"Whoever calls me a coward, if it weren't for the Emperor himself, I would have shown you that the Jia clan cannot be humiliated."
"Heh, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
They're still the same as ever. They haven't fought in recent years, but they still have every argument they've ever had.
Even Qin Xiaoman gradually got used to the bickering between the two.
One day, the system suddenly sent a notification: "Anecdotes activated. Please complete the tasks as much as possible."
"come yet?"
Chen Futu's mind stirred slightly, and he sensed the spatial fluctuations.
Sure enough, the sky, which had been cloudless just moments before, suddenly became unpredictable, and then a huge, dark hole split open, from which two figures descended. With their arrival, the whole world seemed to be weighed down, and the aura they exuded was terrifying.
Lan Xinyu and Liu Shenmiao looked at each other and saw the turmoil in each other's eyes.
The aura of the visitor from the heavens was as profound and unfathomable as that of the Human Emperor!
"You all stay here, I'll go and meet them."
After saying this, Chen Futu took a step and traversed a million miles, arriving at the desolate mountain range.
Looking at the two people again, their appearances were very strange, completely different from the golden-robed man summoned by the Heavenly Emperor. One of them had a face like a ghost, his whole body was rotting, and his flesh was all stringy.
The other creature had a wolf's head, hands like sharp claws, and its body was enveloped in a potent poisonous mist. Its eyes shone with an emerald green light.
Chen Futu teased, "These two little things are quite unique in appearance."
"You lowly commoner, how dare you speak so arrogantly!"
The rotting, ghost-like figure stared with two silvery-white eyes and spoke in a chilling voice, "And, are you the Human Emperor?"
"Exactly."
"Very good, very good. We've been searching high and low, and now we've found you without even looking for you. We've just arrived and we've already met you, so we don't have to look for you anymore."
To this, Chen Futu simply smiled and joked, "Before we fight, I have another question, and I hope you two will be kind enough to enlighten me."
"Hmph, I doubt a mere Martial God like you can turn the world upside down. Speak, what do you want to ask?"
Have you ever heard of Liu Longyue?
Chen Futu went straight to the point, but the wolf-headed man shouted, "Never heard of it!"
"Is that so? Then why do you all look like this?"
"Kid, you talk too much. Once we catch you, you'll know why."
The wolf-headed creature raised its giant claws and let out a long howl.
The powerful figures on the continent were terrified. The demigods and emperors were all silent and trembling, not daring to even use their will to investigate, let alone go to watch the battle.
This aura was far more powerful than that of the God of War, as terrifying as the chains that had ensnared him hundreds of years ago, pressing down on all living beings so much that they dared not even breathe.
"System, is it them?"
Chen Futu and the other man felt that it did not seem to be the existence described in the anecdotes.
The system did not respond, remaining fast asleep in its golden ocean of will.
Fortunately, both of them were at the Boundless Realm of cultivation, which seemed to restrict them.
"Martial God Curse".
Chen Futu unleashed a deadly attack, causing the entire continent to tremble. As for the rotting monster, its nearly bulging eyes darted around, dangling with bits of flesh, making it nauseating.
Logically speaking, why would there be such martial artists in the Upper Realm? Could this be the strange phenomenon mentioned by the system?
"Good lad, you've got some skill. You've actually reached the Boundless Realm in this world!"
The wolf-headed man was shocked to be knocked over several times by the Martial God's Curse.
A bright moon formed in Chen Futu's palm. "The barrier of heaven and earth has suppressed your realm. You beasts who only know how to plunder by force, this is the end for you today."
"You think you can kill me? You'd better become my food!"
The wolf-headed man possessed the ability to slice through space with the crossing of his claws.
