Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

This ancient town was very strange, and it was difficult to discern the truth without profound cultivation or special pupil techniques.

Jun Wuxie deeply understood how strong his pupil techniques were at seeing through illusions.

Whether it was the Primordial True Eyes or the Fiery Golden Eyes, either of these two pupil techniques would be considered top-tier, but he couldn't see through its essence even when using a composite pupil technique that fused them both.

"This area of Jing Province has never had such a sight before. Recently, it seems to be getting more and more serious..."

Mu Ciyin said that although Jing Province had always been a relatively gloomy environment, she had never seen a situation like this town before.

"This is a phantom image evolved from laws. Since the level is relatively high and your cultivation is still low, it's normal that your pupil techniques can't see through it."

Mu Ciyin looked in the direction of Soulshock Ridge, was silent for a short while, and then said, "It seems that a mutation must have occurred within Soulshock Ridge, leading to such a tragedy."

Jun Wuxie looked at the surrounding rotting corpses and couldn't help but ponder.

"After these people died tragically, why would the power of evil go to such lengths to control their corpses and create such an illusion? It seems they don't want the world to know the truth, which means they must be wary of something..."

Jun Wuxie said that judging from these rotting corpses, they didn't die from external injuries but were drained of their life essence. From this, it could be inferred that the culprit who caused the entire town to have no survivors might not be in a good state now and might be in a special state.

Mu Ciyin agreed. The culprit was only creating confusing illusions here and didn't have any means of attack, obviously not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble.

After they walked out of the ancient town, Mu Ciyin casually waved her hand, and the entire ancient town instantly plunged into a world of ice and snow, and the earth quickly sank.

Solid ice covered the sinking ancient town, condensing into the shape of a tomb, burying the entire ancient town.

"Mortals are too fragile. If they are born in a society built on relatively stable order, they can basically spend their short lives in peace. If they are born in such a place, it is a kind of despair from birth. Facing the cruelty of fate, they have no power to resist even if they try their best."

Mu Ciyin sighed.

"It's not just mortals, cultivators are the same. Therefore, there are always some people who go against the current, just to prevent their fate from being controlled by others, to be able to be their own masters, and after having a certain strength, to save the common people from suffering."

Jun Wuxie felt heavy. In his opinion, this ancient town was a microcosm of the future of the myriad realms. If he couldn't stand firm in the torrent in this life, couldn't go against the torrent and defeat it, then eventually this kind of ancient town would be everywhere in the world, and hell would be everywhere.

They continued to move forward. Soulshock Ridge was not far away. It was at the end of their line of sight, and they could see the towering mountains in Soulshock Ridge.

Those mountains were very huge, standing at the end of the earth, dark and gloomy, giving people an uncomfortable feeling even from a distance.

"Esteemed Master Ciyin, I have something to give to you."

Jun Wuxie suddenly stopped. Mu Ciyin heard this, and her icy and clear eyes suddenly became brighter than before, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

She didn't speak, just turned to look at Jun Wuxie.

Undeniably, she was intrigued by his words and wanted to know what her personal disciple would bring out to give her.

In the world, basically only masters give things to disciples, and very few disciples give things to masters.

She, this master, was originally unqualified. Apart from giving him the Ciyin Ice Heart Pendant when she was in the lower realm, she had never given him anything else.

Now it was the other way around, he actually wanted to give her something.

In her expectant and curious gaze, Jun Wuxie opened his palm, a ray of light flashed, and a beautifully shaped ancient sword appeared in his hand.

This ancient sword was about two and a half feet long. Between the flashes of light on the sword body, it was like a pool of autumn water flowing by, very beautiful.

Even without activating it, just lying quietly in Jun Wuxie's hand, one could feel the amazing sword intent contained within the sword body.

This was an extraordinary ancient sword!

Mu Ciyin knew it the first time she saw it.

The next moment, she discovered that this ancient sword seemed to have a special connection with her, and it actually trembled slightly, as if sending her an affectionate call.

"Wuxie, this sword of yours..."

Mu Ciyin was very shocked. This was actually a quasi-eternal saint weapon.

Most importantly, the current state of this sword was not complete. It seemed to have a problem and had fallen in grade.

Moreover, she had a special connection with this sword, and the two had established a connection from the heart.

She felt like it was her own child, or a part of her body, inseparable.

This feeling was too strange. She couldn't figure out how this could be, it was so magical.

"I got it accidentally. This sword is called Autumn Water. At that time, I discovered that it could resonate with the Ciyin Ice Heart Pendant, so it must be able to resonate with you, Master. This Autumn Water Ancient Sword can only exert its power in your hands, Master. You are its ultimate belonging."

"How do you know that the pendant I gave you is called the Ciyin Ice Heart Pendant?"

Mu Ciyin was a little surprised, and then thought of Nanli Jingya, he must have shown it to Nanli Jingya.

"Esteemed Master Ciyin, you wouldn't mind, would you?"

Jun Wuxie knew that she must have guessed that he had shown it to Jingya.

"For the sake of Autumn Water, I will forgive you this time."

Mu Ciyin's words carried a bit of blame, but her gaze was even gentler than before.

She didn't mind that he had shown the Ciyin Ice Heart Pendant to the closest people around him, and she really liked this Autumn Water Ancient Sword.

Jun Wuxie smiled. He actually knew that Mu Ciyin would definitely not be angry about this.

Before long, they arrived in front of Soulshock Ridge.

Soulshock Ridge, although called a ridge, was actually very large in area. It was not a mountain ridge, but a vast mountain range.

Standing outside Soulshock Ridge, facing this almost black mountain range, it gave people a strong, indescribable sense of oppression and suffocation.

Gray clouds and mist lingered in the mountains, the rocks and soil on the surface of the mountains were black, and even the color of the vegetation was black.

"I wonder if Chenyu is still doing well inside?"

Jun Wuxie thought to himself, very worried.

Before coming, the Soulshock Ridge he imagined was far less oppressive and terrifying than the Soulshock Ridge he saw after coming.

But he always firmly believed that Yue Chenyu was still alive!

She was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Maiden, and her previous life was a supreme powerhouse in the Heavenly Emperor Realm, how could she fall so easily?

He wanted to enter Soulshock Ridge immediately and find Yue Chenyu as quickly as possible.

Jun Wuxie turned to look at the distant sky.

But he couldn't do that now, because the person he was waiting for hadn't come yet.

Why was Fallen Red Dust so slow?

He began to despise Fallen Red Dust for not having arrived yet, making him and Mu Ciyin wait so hard, wasting time in vain.

Just then, Mu Ciyin suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him behind her.

"They're here?"

Jun Wuxie asked with his divine sense.

Mu Ciyin nodded slightly, the gentleness in her eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by an icy coldness like severe winter.

The environment between heaven and earth also underwent earth-shaking changes at this moment.

The cold wind howled, the sky was full of snow, and within the range of sight, except for Soulshock Ridge, the rest of the area became a vast expanse of white snow, and the ground turned into glaciers.

"What a strong ice law!"

A voice came from the starry sky. Almost at the same time, fifteen streams of light swished and landed in the high sky around this area, in a ring shape, surrounding Mu Ciyin and Jun Wuxie.

Their speed was many times faster than ordinary light speed, arriving here from the starry sky in an instant.

These were fifteen middle-aged and young faces, and the clothes they wore were not the style of this era, giving them a kind of ancient charm.

These people hovered in the air, and the powerful aura emanating from them caused the sky to constantly collapse, the scene was terrifying, as if it was about to return to chaos!
