Chapter 653 Ch 653: The Abandoned World

The two Divine Souls from millions of years ago were fighting intensely, without caring about anything. They didn't even seem to put Ye Xiao in their eyes, though, Wu Shuang did try to not put Ye Xiao in danger.

If not for the secret technique, Wu Shuang's Divine Soul would have been shattered long ago. After all, at his peak, Wu Shuang was only a Dao Manifestation Realm martial artist, maybe a Late Dao Tribulation Stage of the Dao Manifestation Realm.

On the other hand, Old Monster Yan was a genuine Divine Lord. His Divine Soul was much stronger than Wu Shuang's in every possible way.

When both of them were still alive, Wu Shuang relied on the power of the Freezing Sky Sword to go against Old Monster Yan and even caused the Old Monster Yan's physical body to be destroyed, though the same happened to him in the end!

Now that both of their bodies have been destroyed and were only left with Divine Souls. Wu Shuang's Divine Soul was obviously weaker than Old Monster Yan, causing him to suffer endlessly.

Divine Soul has one greatest characteristic, that is, even if a person's body is destroyed, they would still not die. To kill a Divine Being, one has to destroy their Divine Soul. If not, the Divine Soul can possess another's body or use a secret technique to create another body and revive again.

"Soul Destruction!"

The fight between the two Divine Souls continued for a long time, causing Ye Xiao, who was watching everything from the side, to feel irritated. He did not hesitate and used the Soul Destruction to destroy the Divine Soul of Old Monster Yan immediately.

This battle that originated millions of years ago had finally come to an end at this time.

Wu Shuang's Divine Soul had once again condensed, but it was now incomparably thin, like a mist that could be blown away by a gust of wind.

He looked at Ye Xiao and vaguely saw his figure. Although he was surprised and didn't know how Ye Xiao killed Old Monster Yan, he didn't ask any questions. It is because he was not left with much time.

While fighting Old Monster Yan, he was continuously using a secret technique to heal his soul. The secret technique is not as simple as it seems on the surface. This technique actually used Wu Shuang's soul force to heal his soul. The continuous use of this technique caused Wu Shuang's Divine Soul to be weakened by simply nine-tenth of its original strength. He knew he would be disappearing at any moment. So, without asking any questions or saying any nonsense, Wu Shuang slowly said: "You must be wondering who that old man was and why we were fighting like that. There is no time for me to explain many things. I'll cut everything short, so listen well. Old Monster Yan and I were actually enemies since our childhood. We both went to the same sect to cultivate and had some conflicts. The conflict was strengthened when both of us fell for a single woman. Both of us started fighting to get her from time to time. Maybe, this caused that girl to be disgusted with us. She married another man. We had many more conflicts in our lives but and become the life-enemy of one another."

"We slowly rose to power. When I become a Dao Soul Stage martial artist, I established the Immortal Heaven Sacred Land, but Old Monster Yan continued to be a lone wolf. After the establishment of the sacred land, I got busy which caused my cultivation to slow down. When I broke through to the Late Dao Tribulation Stage of the Dao Manifestation Realm, Old Monster Yan had already cultivated to the peak and was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to transform into a Divine Being and ascend to the Divine Realm."

"One day, a terrible fluctuation of energy appeared in the endless dark space, swamping over hundreds of worlds at once. This energy storm was so horrifying that instantly destroyed dozens of worlds that were too close to its source. This energy storm continued for full ten days and when everything calmed down, a crack in the dark space appeared. We, thousands of Dao Manifestation Realm martial artists gathered from thousands of worlds gathered and entered the crack to explore what was on the other side."

"You won't believe it, the other side of the crack actually led us to an abandoned world. And that abandoned world was actually located in the Divine Realm. When we discovered this, we became extremely excited. We could feel abundant True Essence in that abandoned world. We didn't know why that world was abandoned by those Divine Beings, what we knew was that an opportunity was right in front of us, all we needed to do was to explore the abandoned world."

"We also tried to get out of the world so that we no longer have to wait for our breakthrough, transform into Divine Being, and then ascend to the Divine Realm. We could simply stay in the Divine Realm and cultivate. But we failed to get out of the abandoned world. As I said, that world was imprisoned. A great formation was blocking the sky of that world."

"Not being able to go out, we started to explore the world and cultivate there. We spent a total of thousand years in that abandoned world before we were automatically teleported out, returning to the Upper Realm."

"In that abandoned world, everyone had their own opportunities. Old Monster Yan broke through to the Divine Lord Realm and become a One Marked Divine Lord. My cultivation also increased by a lot and reached the peak of the Dao Manifestation Realm, only half a step away from the Divine Lord Realm. Many other Dao Manifestation Realm martial artists also broke through to Divine Lord Realm, and after returning to the Upper Realm, all of them ascended to the Divine Realm."

"In that abandoned world, I found many Divine Rank cultivation techniques and martial arts skills, some Divine Rank pills, one Mid Grade Divine Rank Sword, and a treasure without any rank."

"Don't get confused when I say a 'treasure without any rank' because exactly this thing caused Old Monster Yan to fight me to the Death. When I got that treasure, Old Monster Yan saw me. He wanted to attack me immediately but exactly at that time, all of us were teleported back to the Upper Realm mysteriously."

"Old Monster Yan didn't want to attract others' attention on that treasure, so he did not attack me immediately. Instead, he waited for me to return back to the Immortal Heaven Sacred Land and then attacked me. I did not even get the chance to give the Divine Rank martial arts skills and cultivation techniques to my Immortal Heaven Sacred Land when I was attacked by Old Monster Yan. To keep my Immortal Heaven Sacred Land safe, I led old monster Yan to my sacred land's forbidden area, and with the help of Mid Grade Divine Rank Sword, I fought him."

"Our battle continued for more than ten days and both of us lost our physical bodies. Only our Divine Souls were left. I was weaker in terms of Divine Soul, so I chose to hide inside the Freezing Sky Sword. Old Monster Yan didn't want to give up on that treasure, so he used the Divine Soul Bead, which was one of the treasures he found in that abandoned world, and hide inside it. He started to wait for me to come out so that he can kill me and take away that treasure. And I also started to wait for someone from my Immortal Heaven Sacred Land to come so that I can give him that treasure and leave this world with Old Monster Yan, ending our enmity millions of years."

"But no one was able to come here. In all these millions of years, I saw every generation of sacred leaders coming to the forbidden ground, but no one was able to bear the pressure and burnt from those chaotic energies out there and come here. I don't know why you came here, but since you could enter the forbidden ground, it means you are an important person of my Immortal Heaven Sacred Land."

"So, I'll give that treasure to you!"

"That treasure is underneath the ground where Freezing Sky Sword is stabbed at. Since you met me and Old Monster has died, even I'm about to disappear, it means that treasure is fated to you. However, remember that you must not reveal this treasure to anyone. Also, listen well, there is a magnificent palace at the center of that abandoned world. We explored every corner of that abandoned world except for that magnificent palace. No one was able to enter that palace no matter how hard we tried. I hope you could enter!"

The moment Wu Shuang finished saying this, his Divine Soul transformed into many light-blue fragments of light and dissipated into thin air.
