Chapter 803: Northern Domain in Chaos
The brilliant morning glow, the eternal morning glow, the Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master's body turned into scattered light, drifting away with the wind, vanished forever.
Fine particles of light continuously trickled, impossible to hold back. Yang Yi was grief-stricken, heartbroken, tears falling like rain, wailing in great sorrow. Her cries of grief filled the entire world.
This was a morning that cast a pall of sorrow, destined to become an indelible memory, hard to forget for a lifetime.
Ye Fan's heart also felt a pang of bitterness. The Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master had departed just like that. A hero's curtain call, a mournful song like sobbing, stirring one's emotions.
This was the final resting place of the Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master...
That brilliant smile, that unparalleled elegance, that golden figure shattered in the dawn—it became eternal, an immortal tableau imprinted in the hearts of later generations.
"Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master... I don't want you to leave. If only you could come back to life, I would willingly sink into hell forever, praying for you."
Yang Yi wept bitterly, heartbroken and desperate, kneeling helplessly on the ground. She used her fingertips to touch the earth where the Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master had stood, using her white clothes to gather that handful of soil.
Trembling, crying out, sobbing, she knelt there, burying her face in that handful of yellow earth, never wanting to rise again.
A ray of morning light shone into Divine Spirit Valley. One by one, Death Gods turned to ashes, leaving only wide black robes fluttering to the ground.
At this moment, everything came to an end. This invincible battle team from Purple Mountain turned to dust, ceasing to exist. Divine Spirit Valley was suppressed and annihilated.
"Bang"
Ye Fan moved like lightning, striking Yang Yi's brow, stabilizing her nearly shattered Immortal Platform.
On her fair, jade-like forehead, a trace of poignant red trickled down. Yang Yi's eyes were dim, her grief hard to suppress, murmuring, "You have left. What meaning does my life still hold..."
She did not wish to live alone in this world, only sought death, to end this life and follow the Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master.
"Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master's only wish is for you to live on well," Ye Fan said softly.
Yang Yi was heartbroken, tears streaming like rain. She clutched that handful of earth, caressing it repeatedly, pressing it to her heart, then against her cheek, as if she would never let go.
Sobbing, tears blurring her eyes, she thought of all that had passed.
Ten thousand years ago, she was the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, peerlessly elegant, unmatched in the Northern Domain, lofty and aloof, driving the world's finest talents mad with desire for her.
And the Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master was majestic and heroic, having cultivated supreme Source Art, possessing heaven-shaking, earth-shattering abilities, striding proudly through the mortal world, his spirit soaring, his demeanor confident.
Ten thousand years ago, one was immortally graceful, the other the center of all attention. The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi and the Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master were a perfect match.
But due to various reasons, the two ultimately missed each other, and Yang Yi was left in despair.
Later, the Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master married and had children, and years after, became the Dao Protector of Yao Chi, guarding in silence.
In their later years, they could only be confidants. Though they met from time to time, they could only stand in mutual respect, finding it hard to grow closer.
Until the bad news came—the Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master suffered misfortune in his later years, turning into a demon and departing. Only then did Yang Yi break free from all shackles, charging into Purple Mountain, ending her life in a love suicide.
Ten thousand years had passed, the seas had turned to mulberry fields, but for them, it was still the moment of parting. Their hearts had never changed.
The eternal morning glow froze this sorrowful scene. Ye Fan did not wish to watch any longer. He turned and walked deep into Divine Spirit Valley.
Along the way, blood was everywhere, corpses littered the ground, bones were scattered all around. All the ancient creatures had died, not a single survivor.
In the instant of dawn, the Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master unleashed a divine principle that shook the ages—a thousand autumns, ten thousand ages, a dream severing the Dao, cutting down Divine Spirit Valley. It was an immortal divine light.
Three Ancestral Kings were completely annihilated, countless ancient creatures shattered, utterly wiped clean.
Such combat power, such elegance, was rare in the world. To slay three ancient sage-level beings in one night—what divine bravery and dominance!
Ye Fan walked deep into this divine valley, entering various ancient halls, searching carefully. In the end, he took away an ancient scripture and some rare treasures.
However, he did not strip the place clean like a plague of locusts, for that would not befit the identity of a disciple under Emperor Wu Shi.
Soon after, he walked out of this valley. Divine flames danced behind him, blazing fiercely, engulfing heaven and earth. He activated the Source Heaven Forbidden Array he had set up together with the Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master.
Mountains and valleys, boundless dragon energy boiled. This place became a furnace, burning continuously, then collapsing.
"Senior Yang Yi, it's time to leave," Ye Fan said softly. Matters here were concluded; they could not linger.
Yang Yi stood up, wrapped that handful of yellow earth in her white clothes, wiped the last tear from her face, and said, "I know. I understand."
Ye Fan was surprised, not understanding.
She stopped crying. Her eyes regained a glimmer of light, becoming resolute.
A flash of light, a ripple of Dao patterns, and they stepped into a void domain gate, disappearing from this place.
Endless mountains burned. Underground dragon energy surged up, turning into brilliant light. Many great mountains collapsed, raising clouds of dust.
Continuous destruction, like the end of the world. This place became a wasteland.
"What happened? Why is Divine Spirit Valley ablaze with fire? Are they holding a sacred sacrifice?"
"Such powerful divine energy fluctuations. Are they refining a supreme ancient weapon?"
Since Divine Spirit Valley emerged, it had become a demonic land. No one dared approach. Intruders were killed without mercy. The area for thousands of miles was a forbidden zone.
"No, look! The mountains are collapsing, the valley is sinking, as if being destroyed. Who is this? Are they launching a massive attack on Divine Spirit Valley?"
Finally, people noticed the anomaly. Some began to dare to approach, to observe what changes had occurred.
"What?! Divine Spirit Valley is filled with corpses everywhere, blood rivers staining the ground red. Not a single survivor!"
People were horrified. Who had done this? To completely annihilate a Primeval Royal Clan was unimaginable.
The mountains were collapsing, the valley sinking, the earth caving in. Everything was being destroyed. This place became a land of calamity, never to regain its former glory.
"Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master under Emperor Wu Shi's command, following the Great Emperor's decree to suppress and annihilate Divine Spirit Valley!"
People were stunned. These words echoed like a curse through the mountains and valleys, rumbling and resounding across heaven and earth.
The Source Heaven Forbidden Array was in operation, continuously amplifying a clear imprint, driving forth supreme heavenly might, like a Great Emperor roaring.
The vast sound spread across this land, rumbling like the ancient war chariot of the Heavenly Emperor rolling across the sky, stirring a surge of bloodlust in people.
"Divine Spirit Valley has been destroyed! Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?!"
The news spread instantly, causing a massive upheaval. Divine City was the first stop, from which it radiated in all directions.
"How is this possible?" At first, people simply did not believe it.
What was Divine Spirit Valley? It was a major royal clan among the Ten Thousand Primeval Clans. Though not like Blood Phoenix Mountain, Divine Silkworm Ridge, or Fire Qilin Cave, which had produced ancient emperors, it was still terrifyingly powerful—a glorious great clan.
"It really has been destroyed! Not only is the divine valley burning, but even that entire region is collapsing. All the great mountains have fallen."
Someone swore by heaven, claiming to have witnessed it all, sparking a tremendous uproar.
Soon, the news was confirmed. Countless cultivators rushed to observe in person.
Among them were humans and many ancient creatures of various forms and appearances. All beings were shocked. Everything here was too terrifying—not a single survivor.
"Divine Spirit Valley has been eradicated, and it was a one-time clan annihilation!"
This was a thunderbolt of news, making ears ring and souls tremble, throwing the Northern Domain into immediate chaos.
Too shocking. Everything was so unbelievable. A Primeval Royal Clan had been destroyed, becoming history overnight, vanished forever.
"A Great Emperor! The human race still has a living Great Emperor! It was Wu Shi who decreed the destruction of Divine Spirit Valley!"
When this news broke, it was even more shocking than the annihilation of Divine Spirit Valley. Everyone was stunned, mouths agape, nearly petrified.
"Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master under Emperor Wu Shi's command, following the Great Emperor's decree to suppress and annihilate Divine Spirit Valley!"
This divine sound, amplified by the Source Heaven Divine Array, grew louder and louder, eventually louder than thunder, rumbling and collapsing ten thousand mountains.
It was a voice comparable to a Great Emperor's roar. Everyone who heard it felt their souls tremble, wanting to prostrate themselves in worship, kneeling forever.
In the end, the mountains and valleys collapsed, and the wondrous Source Heaven Forbidden Array vanished without a trace, erasing all traces left by Ye Fan and his companions.
People spread the tale, making many ancient clans' hair stand on end, boiling the entire Northern Domain.
The Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master had passed, but this name, like the divine patterns of the Heavenly Emperor, was eternally indelible, imprinted in everyone's heart.
"Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master suppressed the Northern Domain, slaughtering all of Divine Spirit Valley!"
"Peerless elegance! A disciple under Emperor Wu Shi's command—truly transcendent and saintly, unimaginable! He annihilated a major Primeval Royal Clan!"
The entire Northern Domain was in an uproar. All clans were discussing it, like boiling water, unable to find peace.
Mountains collapsed, valleys cracked. The Source Heaven Ancient Array vanished without a trace. Countless cultivators, innumerable experts, all rushed into Divine Spirit Valley, searching for treasures.
In the past, no one dared set foot here. But now, countless beings vied to surge inward.
Excitement amid fear, turmoil amid agitation. Many human cultivators and numerous ancient clan experts opened one burned stone hall after another in the sinking earth veins, searching through the ruins.
Some really did find many treasures, discovering rare curios. Dozens of great treasures were opened in succession.
That day, the Northern Domain fell into chaos. The ancient clans' hearts trembled, all restless, filled with fear from the depths of their souls.
Divine Spirit Valley was looted clean in less than a day. Many felt a pang of regret. The true divine treasures had long been burned clean.
Only when an Ancestral King arrived in person did the mountain range suddenly quiet down. All cultivators withdrew in fear and trembling.
Such a major event had shaken the Northern Domain, startling the entire world. The awakened Ancestral Kings could not ignore it.
In truth, they felt an inexplicable fear. No one understood better than them how terrifying the three ancient kings of Divine Spirit Valley were. Yet they had been wiped out like this.
They had to investigate in person, to understand what had truly happened.
"Is the human Wu Shi really alive? Even his disciple could annihilate Divine Spirit Valley. This Fifth Generation Origin Heavenly Master must be a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering Great Sage!"
That day, many ancient kings gathered on this ruin, all feeling a chill down their spines, an inexplicable dread, their bodies icy cold.
In this battle, only one woman from Divine Spirit Valley was outside and survived, not killed. The survivor was named Zi Tianfeng, the elder sister of Zi Tiandu.
"Ah..." the Celestial Prince roared, his face livid, smashing a teacup to pieces.
Many ancient clans knew that he had lobbied Divine Spirit Valley to send troops to the Southern Ridge to bloodbath the Barbarian Clan. Now this had happened.
"How could Wu Shi still be alive?!" he gnashed his teeth. This time, Divine Spirit Valley's destruction was a massive blow to his prestige. As the Son of a God, he was surrounded by an unparalleled halo, but even that could not withstand such squandering.
