Guarding the River of Time
Chapter 582 - 572: Chaos Realm, Mysterious Figure
This supreme treasure is called the "Chaos Seal".
This supreme treasure has already touched the level of "Essence", "Origin", and "Chaos".
Elder Bai Mei still remembers the moment the "Chaos Seal" emerged, the entire World of Ten Thousand Mines was shaken for a full year, and the celestial phenomena of purple-gold Dao light lasted for a hundred years, with the sound of a Celestial Chime echoing throughout the Ten Thousand Realms, incessantly.
Until after the sound of the Celestial Chime resounded, this "Sacred Spirit Domain War" reached its climax, also altering the course of the entire Ten Thousand Realms to some extent.
...
He still remembers the instant the Celestial Chime sounded.
The entire World of Ten Thousand Mines fell completely silent, with space and even time freezing in that second.
At that time, all the powerful figures in the Sacred Spirit Domains within the World of Ten Thousand Mines were as if petrified, rooted in place, unable to move, as if time itself had stopped with them.
In the very next second, a mysterious figure slowly stepped out above the void of the World of Ten Thousand Mines.
The moment that figure appeared, everything in the World of Ten Thousand Mines froze, even Elder Bai Mei himself was stationary in place.
At that time, he had long stopped participating in all conflicts within the Ten Thousand Realms, adopting a retiree’s mindset.
Thus, since the Ten Great Sacred Spirit Realms made their entrance, he had been merely spectating, even when encountering treasures he fancied, he wouldn’t interfere nor contend with the Ten Great Sacred Spirit Realms.
He was old, had lived far too long, experienced too much, and felt weary, with no interest in any treasure at all.
However, with the appearance of the "Chaos Seal", his calm heart finally rippled, wanting to seize it immediately.
But just as the sound of the Chen Drum had barely fallen, that mysterious figure appeared.
....
After the appearance of that mysterious figure, everyone present completely lost the qualification to fight over it, not to mention grabbing it, they couldn’t even move!
This was truly a dimensional suppression!
Even Elder Bai Mei could only barely move his eyeballs, his body couldn’t budge.
....
The mysterious figure didn’t harm anyone and took the "Chaos Seal", then left the World of Ten Thousand Mines.
The oppressive power at that time left no room for doubt, the mysterious figure could have killed everyone present with just a wave of his hand, including Elder Bai Mei himself!
What terrifying power this was!
Bear in mind, the cultivators present at that time were top figures from the Holy Spirit Domain, each capable of composing several volumes of ancient legends by themselves.
...
To put it plainly, it was a single figure, suppressing the entire Ten Great Sacred Spirit Realms so they couldn’t lift their heads!
To this day, Elder Bai Mei still doesn’t know the identity of that mysterious man, because in his cognition, no such figure exists within All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Because someone this powerful cannot be nameless and leave no trace.
Elder Bai Mei is considered among the top tier of the Ten Thousand Realms’ pyramid, and even he didn’t know the origin identity of that mysterious man.
Later on, after the war ended, countless others also sought the identity of that mysterious man, yet to no avail, unable to capture a single trace...
......
At that time, after the Chaos Seal was taken by that mysterious figure, everyone thought the most precious treasure in the World of Ten Thousand Mines had been taken, leaving many powerful beings lackluster with interest.
But barely three days later, the whole World of Ten Thousand Mines began to tremble and undergo transformation!
........
The space of the World of Ten Thousand Mines expanded tenfold its original size!
Bear in mind, the World of Ten Thousand Mines’ original spatial domain was already immensely vast, or else it wouldn’t have attracted so many from the Immortal Domain and Divine Domain, it would have been overcrowded long ago.
As the spatial domain expanded, many unknown areas emerged within the realm again.
In no time, the Ten Great Sacred Spirit Realms went crazy again!
Afterwards, one after another, top-tier supreme treasures appeared, even the usually composed and dignified Holy Spirit Domain went mad from the bloodshed, utterly crazed.
The frenetic contest among the Ten Great Sacred Spirit Realms only disseminated residual waves so powerful that every surrounding world of the World of Ten Thousand Mines was shattered, with none spared!
........
Not until thousands of years later, when a Supreme Treasure named "Moral Mirror" appeared, did this war escalate to the highest level war in the Ten Thousand Realms!
Above the Ten Great Sacred Spirit Realms... Chaos Realm!
The Chaos Realm had reached the ceiling of the Ten Thousand Realms.
No one knows where the "Chaos Realm" is located, nor how many Chaos Realms there are.
Some say, the "Chaos Realm" is just an ethereal legend.
Others say the "Chaos Realm" truly exists, but it’s beyond the jurisdiction of the Ten Thousand Realms, or the Chaos Realm’s existence transcends the Ten Thousand Realms, a world with an independent origin.
Others say that the people living in the "Chaos Realm" are the true rulers at the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Realms, the mightiest, while the so-called Holy Spirit Domain is only the surface overlord, the real overlords come from the elusive "Chaos Realm".
Overall, there are no records of the "Chaos Realm" in the ancient history of the Ten Thousand Realms, only oral transmissions and mystical legends.
......
Since the appearance of the "Moral Mirror", the Chaos Realm first made its real presence known to people.
It was from that day people understood, what hangs above the Ten Thousand Realms is not the Ten Great Sacred Spirit Realms, but the Chaos Realm!
The Chaos Realm is the true overlord of the Ten Thousand Realms, the pearl at the highest position!
That day, only a few cultivators from the Chaos Realm came, yet it suffocated the Ten Great Sacred Spirit Realms, forcing them to retreat from the war.
The higher you stand, the more you cherish life, the strong ones of the Ten Great Sacred Spirit Realms were self-aware, knowing while suppressing others, someday they might be suppressed too.
In any case, they had acquired most of the resources they could handle, and the remaining top-tier resources were not theirs to obtain.
.....
Later, people discovered that the few cultivators from the Chaos Realm seemingly were not "allies".
Because they started fighting each other!
Thus, people speculated there is not just one Chaos Realm, and not just one overlord, but possibly several!
Although only a few people came from the Chaos Realm, their destructive power far surpassed the level of destruction from the Ten Great Sacred Spirit Realms’ clash!
In merely a year’s confrontation, the World of Ten Thousand Mines became a "Spectral Domain", only those isolated in remote voids, with no worlds within a far-reaching range, became known as "Spectral Domains".
All those worlds were shattered by the residual waves of battle from the Chaos Realm’s few powerful beings!
Elder Bai Mei saw Wu Di on that day too!
