Cultivation through Skin Making
Chapter 799 - 277. Celestial Guard Mad Soldier, Nine Yin and Nine Yang (7.6K words - Major Chapter, Subscription Requested)_3
Previously, when Song Yan killed a cultivator named Tu Jue, he obtained a fragment of the Purple Cloud Celestial Map. That fragment marked a place called the "South Celestial Gate," and even now, that place still contained a positioning divine sense.
Such a positioning divine sense mark would not disappear unless the place was completely destroyed...
And in a place like Purple Cloud Heaven, the existence of such divine sense often signifies that the treasures of the immortals from the past are still there.
But it was too far, and Song Yan was too unfamiliar with this land.
After obtaining "ground walking rights," he planned to "stroll around" first.
The True Domain Membrane surrounding his Outer Body Incarnation was compressed very tightly, but fortunately, his walking speed was not much restricted.
He began to move swiftly.
Soon, he arrived in front of a ruined palace that his divine sense could detect.
The moment he saw the palace, Song Yan was truly stunned.
Because not only was a rich Profound Qi rushing towards him, but the palace was also intact, so intact it seemed as if it had never been battled over...
The palace sat there silently, with the words "Celestial Guard Hall" floating on the plaque.
In the side patches, the immortal flowers and herbs were growing wildly without anyone planting them, and some brown vine-like immortal plants were climbing over more than half of the Immortal Palace wall, spreading out like little hands, forming an ancient sense of silence.
This was something even Ning Yunmiao had not mentioned to him.
In the information Ning Yunmiao had, many places in Purple Cloud Heaven were fragmented, but there were also evidently complete places.
Standing before the empty Immortal Palace, Song Yan felt a strange sense of absurdity. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
He couldn’t help but think: ’What kind of event could have turned the apex of the Nine Heavens into this state?’
He continued to move forward, entering the main hall.
The hall was deathly silent.
So quiet that everyone could hear their own heartbeat.
A heartbeat usually means being alive.
Walking on such a once most glorious and invincible apex of the Nine Heavens, yet witnessing its doomsday scene, anyone would be grateful they were still alive.
Even Song Yan, his nerves were taut.
Suddenly, he heard a faint noise.
His arrival had triggered the ancient hall.
His divine sense followed the sound, traversing corridors and rooms, and in an instant, landed on a distant dilapidated side hall.
The hall was peculiar because half of it had completely disappeared, so complete that even the edges of the tiles were incredibly smooth.
And next to those smooth tiles, a half-withered old man was hunched and sitting.
The old man’s skin was cracked like parched earth, and the sound was emanating from within him.
The moment Song Yan’s divine sense fully swept over the old man, the man suddenly opened one eye, a turbid, lifeless eye, terrifying to the extreme, and then, the old man abruptly disappeared from his spot.
Bang!!
Song Yan reacted extremely quickly, raising a fist covered by the True Domain Membrane to block.
A heavy impact, vibrating, but without any aftershock spreading.
Because this was a pure True Domain clash.
Song Yan was knocked flying.
The immense power of the True Domain force from the opposite side nearly tore the line connecting him to his Incarnation.
"Jie..."
The half of an old man stood there, with one foot, one hand, and a greedy expression on half of his face.
"Why did the senior suddenly attack? We can talk first."
Song Yan casually spoke some idle words, hoping the other side would listen so he could gather more information or stall for time and find a chance to counterattack.
The old man did not answer, and his figure disappeared again.
Sharpness condensed in Song Yan’s eyes, and he suddenly twisted his form.
The next moment, the old man appeared in front of him, half of his mouth opening directly, biting towards the right side of Song Yan’s neck from behind. Song Yan’s twisting body spun almost instantly, his right fist enveloped in True Domain power, striking the old man’s head heavily.
True Domain collided with True Domain, turning into a pure power struggle.
The old man was struck flying, but then hung suspended in the air, coming at Song Yan like a storm.
If it were at the Realm Spirit level, there would be no need to go through so much trouble, as the True Domain power would instantly dominate them, killing them like ants.
Song Yan dealt with the remnants of the old man’s attacks while slowly retreating outside the palace.
At that moment, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Because he saw the remnants become real.
The old man suddenly split into two, becoming two real old men, and one of them directly severed the "True Domain line" connecting him to his Incarnation.
Swish!
He swiftly withdrew the line, simultaneously severing all connections with the Incarnation.
It was supposed to end there, but suddenly, the figure perched on the azure Sea of Suffering abruptly opened its eyes, covering the sky with one hand, acting almost in a "stream of consciousness" manner, decisively pressing toward the Tumor Realm.
Rumble!!
One after another, the Tumor Realms began to shatter.
"Jie... jie jie..."
The half of the old man was following the line, quickly drilling in, destroying all the Tumor Realms in almost an instant, blasting them into fragments.
Above the Sea of Suffering, half of a terrifying giant face suddenly appeared in the sky, overlooking the ant garden like a giant.
Deep wrinkles etched the face like mountain valleys, with tumors, warts, and ulcerated wounds everywhere, and teeth, bare and gapped, the cloudy eyes empty of expression when glimpsing various Celestial Demons in the Sea of Suffering, while those Celestial Demons were trembling in fear.
The giant face quickly noticed the man under the Other Shore Tree and several women, immediately displaying intense, ravenous greed and impatience.
"This strike will surely kill."
Song Yan’s voice was calm.
His hand had already grasped onto that face, an intangible power belonging to Wa Saint was joining him, squeezing the old man, assessing the difference between the two, and then compensating for what Song Yan lacked to ensure a kill with one strike.
