Chapter 674 - Huaxu

The dimension higher than the Void World was a theoretical world that only existed in the imaginations during the era Xin Huo was still active in.

“A world on an even higher dimension.. But, that world is a dimension that is impossible, it wouldn’t exist..” Xin Huo kept quiet for a while and he murmured again, “Impossible, it definitely is not The Impossible World, it surely isn’t..”

“The Impossible World?” asked Zhong Yue, “What is so great about this world you speak of? Why is it called The Impossible World?”

Xin Huo left his question hanging there and suddenly, he ranted and whined as he jumped around, “What happened during my slumber? Oh my heavens! Just how many interesting events have I missed! Why was I asleep for so long..”

The little flame continued on like this for a while before abruptly retreating to the corner of Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean, sitting there quietly while locking everything out.

Zhong Yue shook his head upon seeing this. Even though Xin Huo had lived for eons, he still acted like a child sometimes. But the questions that Xin Huo had now were also things that Zhong Yue was curious about.

It was very strange that Xin Huo had fallen into slumber for no reason; at that time, unlike now where he had to go into slumber from time to time again, Xin Huo was definitely very active and his fire would still have been burning brightly, so what was the cause of him going into slumber for so long?

There are a lot of secrets hidden within the ancient era. I’m not strong enough. Thus, I am unqualified to learn these secrets. But in the future, I will personally uncover these secrets!

He then entered the palace.

This palace was not that as huge as the other palaces out there, with its gates barely allowing three person to walk through it at the same time.

Meanwhile, Bai Canghai and Ma Shansou followed behind him with a trembling body, showing obvious signs that they would flee without Zhong Yue when needed. But Zhong Yue just stood there without moving a finger at all after seeing what lied before him.

He merely stepped one foot through the door, and in an instant, a huge ocean appeared in front of him. There was no land to be found and the door was also not a door on a land but a door that stood quietly in the middle of the ocean!

Behind him, Bai Canghai and Ma Shansou carefully reached out and they too were extremely troubled by what they saw.

It was an ocean of blood.

historical

An endless blood ocean that they could see no end to, and as they stood by the door, they were floating along the tides of the blood ocean.

Suddenly, a faint singing could be heard from the blood ocean as if a lady were singing beneath the blood ocean, but they just couldn't hear it clearly. Zhong Yue reached out another step further trying to listen clearer and out of nowhere, intense pressure crushed him and his bones let out creaking sounds under the pressure as he barely managed to withstand the pressure!

Without thinking, he turned around and tried to escape through the door. But to his surprise and dismay, the door had suddenly become enormous, appearing to be grand and majestic as if it could contain the heaven or an entire world in it!

His two companions, Bai Canghai and Ma Shansou, also appeared incredibly huge!

But this was not an illusion, it was completely real. Bai Canghai and Ma Shansou was so huge that they felt like they were just a step away from Zhong Yue but from Zhong Yue’s point of view, he clearly felt that they were galaxies apart.

He tried all he could and struggled towards the door.

With each step, a bone in his body would break into dust, but as someone who had cultivated the Immortal Body even in the skeleton form, his bones would relentlessly regenerate each time after breaking. After traveling a considerable distance, the bones in his entire body would have been replaced an essentially new set of bones!

“Brat Yue, this is the presence of an innate god and this blood ocean is the blood of this god. Let me do it, you won’t be able to pull it off!” said a nervous Xin Huo.

Without a hesitation and with confidence with his buddy, Zhong Yue immediately let Xin Huo take over the control of his body. Right away, Zhong Yue felt that the totem patterns on his body were restructured. The reconstruction of the totem patterns tremendously boosted his strength and his body immediately flew towards the door.

The endless blood ocean would affect anyone who even stepped into its range. The further the target was away from the blood ocean, the less pressure they would have to bear. Previously, Zhong Yue took a step forward and with that, he entered the range of the blood ocean, allowing the immense pressure to suppress him. However, the door in the middle of the blood ocean seemed to be able to fend off the power of the innate god’s tiding blood.

Xin Huo continued to speed away from the scene; totem patterns surged out from Zhong Yue’s body and shrouded around his legs. Immediately, his speed increased drastically again. He had activated the【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】, teleporting them away; each time they vanished, they would reappear somewhere very far away and they draw closer and closer to the door!

But Zhong Yue was stunned for a second as the singing of the lady beneath the blood ocean became very clear at some point and her singing was stunningly beautiful.

Huh? This singing? It’s like the one in the Song Realm!

Right away, he shouted, “Xin Huo, stop!”

“If we stop, we die!” replied Xin Huo immediately as he controlled Zhong Yue’s body and teleported away and his body continued to enlarge.

At this rate, if they were in usual times, they would reappear at a few million miles away each time they teleported but in this place, their teleportation only allowed them to travel at about a foot length away.

Distance was relative; a metre would be a very short distance but for an ant, this one metre to a human would probably become a hundred metres for the ant.

And the same applied within this dimension. That one step away from Bai Canghai and Ma Shanshou was just a step, but now, Zhong Yue felt that they were a galaxy or perhaps a few galaxies apart.

That one step Zhong Yue reached out had brought him to a place millions and millions miles away and now, it would require great effort if he wished to return.

Deep down, Zhong Yue knew that if they stopped, they would lose their life and soul right away so what he could do now was try his very best to remember the singing in his mind.

The singing was so beautiful and it was slightly different from the singing in the Song Realm. Though he had not learnt the innate god's’ language, memorizing the melody of the singing was not a problem to him.

On the other hand, Xin Huo maximized the power of the【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】, further increasing their speed and the prowess he displayed on the【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】amazed Zhong Yue so much that he had to admit that his attainments in the【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】were nowhere close to Xin Huo’s.

Zhong Yue also knew how to use the【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】, but he couldn't use it with merely his thoughts and psyche; he could only pull it off by constructing a teleportation portal and he had to preemptively selected a destination to teleport to.

But unlike Zhong Yue’s meagre skills, Xin Huo could teleport to any position he wanted at will. This was ability that was on a whole different level to Zhong Yue’s.

Xin Huo had no body, no energy, no psyche, no nothing. Whatever he is doing now is through my power and yet, he is displaying such terrifying control. If he can do it, then I can too!

Zhong Yue praised in his heart, But somehow I just can’t, which means that there is still much room for me to improve. I thought that I was almost at the peak of my level right now and there would be little room for improvements but seems like I was being complacent. Being able to triumph over Qi Practitioners is nothing. Only by becoming a notable figure within the myriad Six Path Worlds or even the Zi Wei Imperial Star can I consider myself as successful!

On the other hand, while Xin Huo continued to teleport them away, the singing soon became increasingly distant until it had disappeared entirely. At the same time, when Zhong Yue looked towards the outside through his divine third eye, he realized that the body of Bai Canghai and Ma Shansou shrunk along with the door.

Finally, Xin Huo and Zhong Yue arrived at the door and immediately, Bai Canghai, Ma Shansou and the door returned to the normal size, which relieved Xin Huo greatly. After returning the control back to Zhong Yue, the little flame quickly sat at the corner in Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean to continue wallowing in sadness.

Meanwhile, Bai Canghai and Ma Shansou exclaimed with shock, “What happened? You disappeared just now and reappeared again all in a sudden.”

Zhong Yue opened his mouth but no words came out from his mouth; he did not know how to explain to them, whatever happened back there did not make sense at all and they wouldn't believe him even if he did explain.

“Do not enter that door or you’d be dead for sure.” Zhong Yue warned before walking away.

The two of them were confused as they did not know what had happened.

As Zhong Yue walked away, the lady’s singing continued playing on repeat in his mind, but when he tried to sing it, he couldn't even sing a word. The song was sung in the language of the innate gods, the innate voice of the Dao that no mortal could utter because of the structure of the mortal’s throat, not to mention the fact that he was now a skeleton.

Besides, only those with a deep understanding of the innate voice of the Dao could sing this song, which ultimately stopped him since he knew nothing at all.

Suddenly, he said, “Xin Huo, can you sing this song too?”

To his question, Xin Huo replied, “I know a bit of this language but I have no idea about whether or not I can sing it. You don't have a proper body now so you can only use your psyche to sing, let me try.”

Immediately, Zhong Yue let go of his psyche and allowed Xin Huo to take control of his body again. As his psyche was controlled by Xin Huo, the singing he had just heard was sung again.

In front of the door where the blood ocean was, his psyche started to synchronize with the singing beneath the ocean, causing the waves to crash even harder almost gushing out through the door.

Xin Huo realized that something was not right, which prompted him to keep on singing and as he sang, the waves in the blood ocean became even more violent as if there were a giant creature rampaging on the ocean floor.

Suddenly, the blood ocean split apart to reveal an extremely beautiful woman in the sea. Her bright eyes shone like the moon and almost seemed to eclipse the radiance of the sun; there were no flaws on her face and her beauty was otherworldly. Zhong Yue felt that only the Innate Moon God could have matched her beauty.

However, Zhong Yue was stunned as he saw the divine third eye that was on her forehead and the remaining portion of her body that completely emerged from the sea. It was the body of a serpent.

“Fuxi Celestial Race?”

But in the next second, Zhong Yue shook his head and discarded this thought as she was not of the Fuxi Celestial Race; there were no dragon scales on her and the Fuxi Celestial Race was not the innate god race but the descendants of Leize Celestial Race and Huaxu Celestial Race.

She was also not the Leize Celestial Race’s member because the innate celestial dragons of that race did not have any divine third eye.

“The Huaxu Celestial Race are innate serpent gods with divine third eyes which is where the divine third eye of the Fuxi Celestial Race came from. She is the innate god of the Huaxu Celestial Race!” murmured the shocked Zhong Yue.

The lady that emerged from the ocean was an innate goddess of the Huaxu Celestial Race but no one knew why she was beneath the blood ocean nor why she was singing there.

“You’re from the Huaxu Celestial Race, who are you? Why did you leave your skin here?”

Zhong Yue was very puzzled at this; the lady was obviously a living person and no matter how he looked at her, she was alive. So why did Xin Huo claim that she was just skin left behind.

Xin Huo explained, “This is just the skin she shed away, the real her is long gone by now.”

“The mystic flame brought to life by the great Sui Sovereign, his reign of power is no more and the era of Fu Xi has crumbled. Yet, you are still here, alive.” The Huaxu innate goddess said, “I am the exuviated skin of Hou Tu, the impurities of her body so that only the Pure Dao God could transcend from the dirt. Fire of the Universe Soul created by Great Sui, where have you been all these years?”
