Chapter 2074: The Ancient Soul River [5,000 words]
Chen Nianzhi stopped thinking about it and brought his thoughts back.
Seeing that everyone in the Chen family had innate treasures, he rewarded everyone with a batch of Chaos Divine Liquid and other resources, encouraged them to practice hard, and then began their career as a potential cultivator.
In the following years, I practiced silently while comprehending all kinds of Taoism. Time continued to pass like this, and before I knew it, more than twenty kalpas had passed.
This year, Chen Nianzhi's life span was eight hundred and twenty-three calamities, and the ancient soul river finally opened.
When the Ancient Soul River opened, Chen Nianzhi invited the Black Abyss Emperor and some of the top emperors of the Human Immortal Court, as well as the Hunyuan Emperors of the Chen family, to the banks of the Ancient Soul River.
Among these emperors are the eight late Hunyuan emperors of the Chen family, as well as the four great emperors Lingxi, Jianxuan, Jianyuan, and Immortal.
There are also several great emperors from the Immortal Courtyard, Emperor Taiyou and more than ten powerful Hunyuan Emperors in the later stages of the Hunyuan Emperor.
"This is the Ancient Soul River."
Looking at the ancient soul river in front of him, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but have a ripple in his eyes.
But in the endless void, a void and dark soul river runs across the chaotic sea.
He came from nothingness and extended into nothingness, making it impossible for people to see where it ends.
And around the Ancient Soul River, there is an indelible curse and hatred, which is a power that corrodes people's hearts and is much more terrifying than the power of desolation.
Thinking of the origin of the Ancient Soul River, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but be quite wary of such curses, and quickly reminded the Hunyuan Emperors in the Immortal Court.
"It is said that this ancient soul river has an extraordinary origin. It was formed by the fall of the most powerful Soul Dao Heavenly Emperor who was in the half-step Hedao realm in the ancient times."
"This place contains forbidden power. Even Emperor Hunyuan will be in danger of falling. When you enter later, remember to act according to your ability."
When everyone heard this, they immediately showed serious expressions and did not dare to show any slightness.
It was at this time that Chen Nianzhi discovered that many powerful people were coming from a distance, including many from the Hunyuan Emperor and even those at the sub-sage level.
"It's not too late."
Chen Nianzhi spoke, with a hint of indifference in his eyes.
These people are all powerful men from the seven regions of Nanyuan, including hundreds of Hunyuan emperors and more than twenty Yasheng ancestors.
It can be said that most of the top experts in the huge seven regions of Nanyuan have come here.
Understanding this, Chen Nianzhi immediately said: "After entering, not only must we guard against the dangers in the Ancient Soul River, but you must also guard against these people."
"I'll understand later."
All the emperors of the Immortal Court looked a little solemn.
However, the Black Abyss Emperor quietly communicated with Chen Nianzhi and said with a bit of solemnity: "People from the Seven Domains of Nanyuan may not kill them."
"But if the Ancient Soul River opens, I'm afraid there will be strong men from other chaotic realms."
"You still have to be careful about those people."
Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words. The Nine Apertures Divine Stone is extremely precious. Even if the probability of appearing in the Ancient Soul River is extremely low, it is still a treasure for the Yasheng.
Not to mention that Chiyang Supreme also promised to replace it with Chaos Qi, so I am afraid that it can attract many sub-sages from outside the territory.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said: "With our strength, even if the Asian saints from outside the territory join forces to attack, you and I will not be afraid."
Emperor Heiyuan nodded, thinking that Chen Nianzhi's words were reasonable.
While the two were communicating, Chen Nianzhi discovered that several old friends were coming, including the Tianhuang Quasi-Emperor of the God Clan and the three great sub-sages of the Monster Clan.
Chen Nianzhi met the quasi-emperor Tianhuang, and then glanced at the three sub-sages Kunpeng, Suzaku and Qingwu, and then said to the Black Abyss Emperor beside him.
"The three major sub-sages have come out together. It seems that the demon clan is bound to win this ancient soul river."
"Be careful, I'm worried that they will collude with the Asian Saints from outside the territory."
Emperor Black Abyss spoke, with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.
Chen Nianzhi didn't answer, he just kept calculating with his fingers for a long time, but found that he still couldn't figure out the clues, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyes.
With his current divine power, he is actually unable to calculate his own bad luck, so there are only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that the Ancient Soul River is too terrifying and has the effect of hiding the secrets and calculations.
The second possibility is that there is a more powerful Emperor of Chaos who uses supreme means to conceal the secret of Heaven.
"No matter what it is, it's not good news."
Chen Nianzhi whispered in his heart, but was not worried at all.
He knew very well that after he cultivated the body of a great emperor and condensed the nine true spirit divine patterns, his combat power had greatly improved.
Strength is the greatest confidence. At this time, Chen Nianzhi's strength is extraordinary. Even if the demon clan has any plans, he is not afraid at all.
Just when Chen Nianzhi's thoughts were wandering, the turbulent ancient soul river in front of him gradually calmed down, and the extremely domineering soul curse around him seemed to have disappeared a lot.
"The Ancient Soul River has returned to calm. This is a rare opportunity to explore."
In an instant, all the Hunyuan Emperors around him spoke one after another, all showing expressions of great joy.
Then, a sub-sage took the lead and instantly rushed into the ancient soul river.
Countless powerful men followed closely behind and flew into the boundless soul river one after another.
Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved slightly, and after sizing up the Ancient Soul River, he said, "Let's go in too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Nianzhi led everyone through the chaos and arrived at the Ancient Soul River with a flick of his sleeves.
As soon as he arrived in the Ancient Soul River, Chen Nianzhi's eyebrows frowned slightly.
He discovered that in the Ancient Soul River, an invisible curse force was constantly eroding his body.
This power is extremely strange, filled with the power of decay and decay, and can even prevent the recovery and rebirth of the strong.
"What a weird power."
Chen Nianzhi spoke slowly, frowning slightly and said: "This power can continuously corrode the monk's soul, and can even prevent the strong man from recovering from recovery."
"If Emperor Hunyuan is beheaded here, it may be difficult for him to recover and return."
The Black Abyss Emperor also nodded, and then added: "This power belongs to some kind of supreme curse power, which can corrode the soul of the strong."
"He cannot completely kill the souls of Emperor Hunyuan, but he can continuously corrode their souls and keep their souls in a weak and sleeping state."
"Therefore, those who are killed here will never be able to recover."
The quasi-emperor of Tianhuang knew more, so he said: "It is said that this power of the curse is just a wisp of the remaining power of the supreme curse."
"Its true power is like a soul-eating insect that is constantly devouring the soul of the soul emperor, making it impossible for the soul of the soul emperor to recover."
Chen Nianzhi's heart was slightly shocked. This was an extremely terrifying curse. He could continuously absorb the soul power of the cursed person and use it as energy to sustain his own consumption.
As for the cursed person, although his soul is constantly being restored by the supply of the Great Dao, it is also constantly being absorbed, and the absorbed power in turn suppresses the opponent and cannot be revived.
This forms a terrible cycle. The more the Soul Dao Heavenly Emperor wants to restore the power of the soul, the stronger the curse will become.
The stronger the curse is, the further it will weaken the spirit of the Soul Dao Heavenly Emperor.
It is precisely because the soul of the Soul Dao Heavenly Emperor is constantly fighting against the curse that the Ancient Soul River has a calm period and a violent period.
Every violent period is the period when the spirit of the Soul Dao Heavenly Emperor is the most powerful. At that time, the aftermath of the two fighting and manifesting is enough to kill the emperor, and even the sub-sage does not dare to provoke him easily.
When the spirit of the Soul Dao Heavenly Emperor is weak and dormant, the Ancient Soul River will fall into a rare period of calm. This is also the reason why everyone can step into the Ancient Soul River.
"What a vicious, clever curse."
Chen Nianzhi whispered slowly, this kind of curse is attached to the origin of the avenue, it is obviously a cursed avenue at the chaos level, and it is definitely not something that the ordinary Chaos Emperor can do.
The Heavenly Emperor of the Soul Dao was cursed by such a great way and slept in a state of confusion all year round. He only relied on his instincts to constantly fight against him. What is the difference between this and a complete fall?
"What kind of supreme being can make the Soul Dao Heavenly Emperor, who is half a step into the Harmony Realm, fall into an eternal sleep that is no different from death?"
Chen Nianzhi was filled with fear, and his pupils could not help but look extremely solemn.
At this moment, Chen Nianzhi's fear of the Cursed Avenue almost rose to an unprecedented level.
You know, it is impossible for the Chaos Emperor to fall, but he was tortured to such an end by the power of a mere curse.
This powerful man who masters the cursed road is probably much more terrifying than the Wuji powerful man in the third realm of chaos.
"Don't worry too much."
At this time, the Black Abyss Emperor suddenly said: "If we kill the powerful enemy here, we can prevent the powerful enemy from resurrecting."
"This may be an excellent opportunity for us."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, and then with a flick of his sleeves, he took several dazzling sacred stones from the ancient soul river.
Emperor Heiyuan glanced at it and said in surprise: "Six Apertures Divine Stone."
Chen Nianzhi nodded and said with some surprise: "The Six-Aperture Divine Stone, which is quite rare in the outside world, can be seen everywhere here."
Saying this, Chen Nianzhi waved his hand and asked everyone to search around for the treasures in the Ancient Soul River.
There are countless rare treasures in this ancient soul river, and Chen Nianzhi discovered that most of them are treasures that enhance the soul.
There are soul-nourishing treasure liquids, soul-refining jade, and various nine-aperture sacred stones, all of which are rare Yuan Qi treasures.
Chen Nianzhi led everyone to search for a while, and then he came to some realization: "Most of these chaotic treasures were washed from the upper reaches of the Ancient Soul River."
"It seems that the real treasures are all in the upper reaches of the Ancient Soul River."
The Black Abyss Emperor nodded, but still said solemnly: "The further you go up the game, the more dangerous the Ancient Soul River becomes."
Chen Nianzhi nodded. The curse of the Ancient Soul River became more powerful the closer it got to the upstream.
Since ancient times, every time the Ancient Soul River was opened, ordinary Hunyuan emperors could only search around the edges and did not dare to go deep into it.
Because he died deep in the Ancient Soul River, even the Hunyuan Emperor is likely to be able to block the erosion of the remaining power of the curse.
Only the powerful ones in the later stages of the Hunyuan Emperor barely dared to step into the middle and lower reaches.
Those who dare to go upstream, or even search for the source of the Ancient Soul River, are at least the strongest in the realm of the Great Emperor.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi told Jiang Linglong and others: "You should act according to your ability and explore in the middle and lower reaches. Try not to go upstream."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded and looked a little solemn.
Seeing this, Chen Nianzhi gave each person in the Immortal Court a talisman he had refined. These talismans can resist the erosion of the curse to a certain extent, and are enough to protect them from the middle and lower reaches.
After doing all this, Chen Nianzhi did not hesitate at all, and immediately walked upstream of the Ancient Soul River together with the Black Abyss Emperor and the Tianhuang Quasi-Emperor.
They traveled through chaos all the way, and before they knew it, they reached the middle reaches of the Ancient Soul River.
In this location, many Hunyuan level soul treasures have appeared, and there are even treasures at the level of the Seven Apertures Divine Stone.
Chen Nianzhi did not search specifically, but just randomly searched for it, and got a lot of Hunyuan treasures, as well as hundreds of Nine Aperture Divine Stones of different grades.
Unfortunately, these resources were of little use to Chen Nianzhi, so Chen Nianzhi did not stay any longer, but continued to move forward, and before he knew it, he had reached the upper reaches.
"What a powerful curse."
Sensing the power of the curse here, the face of the Black Abyss Emperor couldn't help but change slightly, showing a somewhat dignified look.
The quasi-emperor of Tianhuang on the side turned pale, and said with great caution: "The power of the curse in the upper reaches is already very terrifying."
"If we were to be decapitated here, I would probably incur a very terrible curse."
"Even if I could escape at that time, I would still have to pay a huge price before it was possible to refine the curse."
Chen Nianzhi sensed it for a while and found that under the refining of the Chaos Immortal Body, the power of the curse disappeared instantly, but it was not a serious problem.
"The curse here should not hurt me."
In just an instant, Chen Nianzhi had an accurate concept in his mind.
Seeing this, Emperor Heiyuan on the side also said to Chen Nianzhi: "My Chaos Divine Pattern has a high resistance to curses, so it is not a serious problem."
Chen Nianzhi nodded and did not say anything else.
The Immemorial Soul River is vast, and they searched the upper reaches of the Immemorial Soul River, and actually got a lot of high-grade Hunyuan Lingzhen, and even several Eight-aperture Divine Stones.
Neither Chen Nianzhi nor Emperor Heiyuan looked down upon these treasures, but the Quasi-Emperor Tianhuang was quite concerned about them.
Seeing this, Emperor Heiyuan said, "Fellow Taoist Tianhuang, the two of us are going to explore the source of the Ancient Soul River. Do you want to go with us?"
The Quasi-Emperor Tianhuang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and after a moment he said with a wry smile: "The source of the Ancient Soul River is too dangerous, and the power of the curse is too powerful."
"If you don't have the strength of the top Yasheng, once you fall into it, you may never be able to come back."
"I'm not sufficiently cultivated, so I'd better not take this risk."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "In that case, the two of us can't do anything difficult for others."
Saying this, the two of them immediately set off towards the source of the Ancient Soul River.
The further up he goes, the more terrifying the curse of the Ancient Soul River becomes. The most important thing is that Chen Nianzhi also discovered that the scouring power of the Ancient Soul River becomes more and more astonishing.
They walked for an unknown amount of time and finally approached the source of the Ancient Soul River.
But at this moment, Chen Nianzhi's eyes turned cold and he discovered that at the end of the vast ancient soul river, there stood twelve magnificent figures.
"The Three Saints of the Monster Tribe, the Quasi-Emperor of the Desolate Dragon, the Second Saint of the Blue Crane, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Stars, and the Second Saint of the Flame Soul."
Emperor Black Abyss spoke slowly, then looked at a few unfamiliar figures and asked: "The remaining five Taoists, which Taoist from the Chaos Realm are they?"
Those sub-sages did not answer, but simultaneously controlled a formation to seal the void.
After completing this step, the Huanglong Quasi-Emperor smiled and said with a cold face: "You two are lucky to die under the siege of twelve of me."
"How dare you speak so loudly when you have a group of defeated generals?"
The Black Abyss Emperor took action, flying into the air with the Black Abyss Emperor's Spear, and killed towards the Huanglong Zhunhuang Town.
But at this moment, two figures flew out from beside Huanglong Quasi-Emperor.
The two of them each had horns on their heads, were wearing thunder armor, and their aura far surpassed that of the top sub-saints.
The other man was wielding a heavenly sword, and his whole body was covered in muscles. He was an extremely majestic man.
In an instant, the two men each controlled nine true spirit forms and soared into the air, and had an astonishing collision with the Black Abyss Emperor.
After the instant collision, the Black Abyss Emperor stepped back and said with a slightly changed expression: "Two Wuji Yasheng, I never expected that you would find such a powerful helper."
"This one is Holy Lord Hun Tian."
Qingwu Yasheng smiled and spoke, introducing the Yasheng wearing the thunder armor: "Holy Lord Huntian is the youngest son of Emperor Kui Niu, and he also follows the path of physical sanctification."
"Now he has cultivated into the nine true spiritual forms, and his combat power has already reached the Wuji realm."
After the words fell, Qingwu Yasheng looked at the other muscular Yasheng, and said with a smile: "This is Panshi Yasheng, and he is also walking the path of physical sanctification."
"He has cultivated the nine great divine forms so far, and has survived hundreds of thousands of calamities. He is the strongest among the Wuji Sub-Saints."
Speaking of this, Saint Qingwu Ya said with cold eyes: "These two powerful men were personally invited by my brother, the Emperor of the Sun."
"The purpose is to completely kill you two and cut off the path for the rise of the human race."
When Chen Nianzhi heard this, his expression remained as usual and he didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Huanglong Quasi-Emperor couldn't help but sneered and said: "Today we, the three Wuji Sub-Sages, have joined forces, and there are also nine Sub-Sages who are helping us."
"You two, why don't you just surrender?"
"Do it!"
After the words fell, the Huanglong Quasi-Emperor immediately took action, driving his war gun towards the Black Abyss Emperor.
The same was true for Panshi Yasheng and Huntian Shengzun. At this moment, they began to kill the Huanglong Quasi-Emperor crazily.
In their eyes, Chen Nianzhi is at best the first to enter the realm of the Wuji Sub-Saint, but the Black Abyss Emperor who has cultivated the Chaos Divine Mark is a serious problem that they need to go all out.
At this moment, facing the attacks of the three Wuji Sub-Sages, Black Abyss Sub-Sage and Chen Nianzhi exchanged glances instantly.
"Qiang——"
After a moment of tacit understanding, the two took action decisively.
