Chapter 187 Soul River
In the unknown time and space, a few faint rays of light spanned the dark and vast sky and earth. As time went by, bare and majestic mountains began to appear on the infinite earth.
These mountains and rivers are too huge, standing in the dark void like demons. From time to time, red light is emitted, and there are heavy shadows, which makes people feel very creepy.
They didn't know how long they had been walking, but they didn't find any signs of any living creatures.
However, in this space and time, Jiang Jue began to sense the source of a power. It was a trace of the order of Tao. Even though this place no longer belonged to the present world, Jiang Jue could still see the traces from eternity ago.
After crossing the immeasurable mountains, the dim sky and earth became colder, and red rivers began to appear in the sight of several people.
It was a turbid sea with eight ancient rivers flowing in all directions.
In the river, the stars make the sky and the earth appear bright red.
"Is it finally here?"
Jiang Jue also spoke with a rare serious expression.
The ancient river spreading out of that sea is like the water of the moon. Those star-like light clusters are the soul fragments of all living things, nourished by the power of the ancient river. This must be the work of the Soul River.
Generally speaking, the soul of a living being will disappear after it collapses. Perhaps only the power of the Soul River can preserve the soul fragments of a living being.
"Emperor of Heaven, have we reached the so-called place of reincarnation?"
The man selling fake medicine asked.
"It really subverts our cognition. The Land of Reincarnation and the River of Souls, do these really exist?"
The undertaker's face was extremely serious as a undertaker.
Their lineage is closely related to reincarnation. The undertakers are praised as the new people who come back from reincarnation. From the moment they are buried, they forget everything about their past lives.
Now that reincarnation has been confirmed, it means that they may really be traces of certain things and the coordinates of others' return, which is really horrifying.
"This should be the boundary between Yin and Yang. It is the boundary between the reality of our world and another space-time outside the world. It seems that we have come to the right place. Then, I will hide my aura and let you guys explore it openly."
Jiang Jue said that he was not sure whether there were Immortal Emperors in the Soul River, but there must be supreme beings at the level of Emperor, and there must be more than one. Even with the Ten Thousand Evil Cauldron and Emperor Yan of the Footprint Emperor, he could not be too reckless.
With the Butcher, the Undertaker, the fake medicine seller and the Chi Ling joining forces, they have a terrifying fighting force that can sweep across the Supreme Realm. As long as the Emperor doesn't come out, I think they will be fine.
After looking at each other, they stepped directly into the crystal clear ancient river of soul fragments.
In the vast space and time, the sky and the earth are deep red and dim, but extremely clear, and one can see through all the nothingness. No one knows where the ancient river extends to or where it flows to.
The vast sky, like a gathering of stars, is shocking.
This ancient river is too strange. All the laws and orders, even the power of time, cannot penetrate into it. The soul light spreads, but there is not a single ripple, as if there has never been a ripple for eternity, flowing quietly. This is the gathering of souls of all living beings in the world, with an astonishing size. From time to time, creatures spread their wings and fly over the ancient river without any impact. There are densely packed stone statues on both sides.
These stone statues are very black, and give off a sense of antiquity. Some are only the size of a palm, while others can reach the sky.
Bat-like creatures have bird wings, lizard-like bodies, ferocious fangs, and long swords in their hands. Some giant creatures with horns have fish bodies, petrified scales and weapons like harpoons that make people's scalps numb, and hairless cats have a pair of terrifying flesh wings. In addition, petrified crows stand on countless stone statues and riverbeds from time to time.
These terrifying and weird stone statues can only be described as indescribable. It is impossible to know which race they come from. They are more like a combination of many creatures. They are too contradictory and only a very small number of creatures can be recognized.
The stone statue has no breath of life, and its body is wrapped in chains. It has not moved at all in all these years, as if it has been suppressed here to guard this ancient river that flows to all ages.
And deep in the ancient river, there is a huge door blocking the way. Time is cut off, and the deep ancient river flows out from behind the door.
“Someone is coming…!”
Suddenly, an ancient and distant voice sounded from the world behind the door. The ethereal feeling seemed to have come from eternity ago and echoed in the long river of time.
Surprise and a hint of displeasure, the other party's tone makes people feel the true inner thoughts, which is an incredible will that affects the heaven and earth.
"This has never happened before in the history of the universe. Someone has stepped into the land of reincarnation on their own accord. How did they end up here?"
A living creature spoke. This is the destination of the souls of the dead. Since they descended into the River of Souls, almost no living people have come here.
"Since they are here, why not let them go back! In the form of souls."
Not just one creature, but multiple creatures spoke up.
Jiang Jue didn't even know that his arrival had been sensed by the Soul River.
Even though Jiang Jue's existence could not be deduced, the traces of the other people had already been sensed by this world. That situation was like a few scorching suns suddenly appearing in a cold world.
This is a completely different aura from that of all living beings in the world and the Soul River. How could the Soul River not know that its order has been disturbed and it has a completely different aura?
"Anyone who messes with the reincarnation will be expelled from the reincarnation!"
A cold and domineering whisper colored everything.
This is the sound coming from the end of the Soul River, and time and space almost came to a standstill.
"The Soul Master has issued a decree to send those souls to death."
Almost in an instant, the eternally peaceful Soul River seemed to be stimulated, the breath of countless creatures began to revive, and the original tranquility of this world of death was disturbed.
On both sides of the Soul River, the eyes of the densely packed stone statues without any breath glowed with scarlet light, and a shock came between heaven and earth. The stone statues began to tremble continuously, as if they came alive. At this moment, after crossing the space and time where yin and yang intertwined, Chi Ling and the butcher had already seen the ancient and mysterious Soul River reflected in them.
"Soul River! Is this the Soul River?"
"Incredible! The reincarnation of all sentient beings in the world will be affected by it. Which afterlife will it flow to?"
The butcher and the undertaker spoke one after another. It was difficult for them to describe their feelings now. Everyone was shocked by the scene before them.
Several people rushed directly towards the ancient river, wanting to step to the end of the River of Souls.
Clang!
Suddenly, without any warning, an indescribable slash came from the other side of the Soul River. The blazing scarlet light filled the originally dim world with blood.
shuh…
The surging power was so terrifying that it directly tore the sky apart. The power of completely different laws could also dominate the heaven and earth and suppress the heavens, especially the ultimate will that contained the power of reincarnation, which directly and forcefully slashed at the soul imprint of living beings.
The terrifying sharp blade reflected in the vision of several people can be called the Sword of Reincarnation. It is so horrifying that several people's souls tremble.
This is the specialized path for the Soul River creatures, as well as the reincarnation hunters. This power suppresses the souls of living beings and is even melted into the weapons of the Soul River creatures.
"Has it been discovered?"
The butcher whispered, and all of a sudden, he felt nothing in his heart.
"There is no room for negotiation!"
Chi Ling's face was serious, and there was almost no communication. The two sides had never met each other, but the other party had already made a move across endless time and space, wanting to kill them right where they were standing at that moment.
This is the land of the dead, a forbidden zone among all worlds, not a forbidden zone for living beings. Once a living person is discovered arriving, the other party will definitely kill him with thunder and lightning. There is no room for negotiation at all.
Throughout the ages, all the emperors who came into the world have failed to discover the existence of the Soul River. Once it is exposed, it will be a very troublesome thing.
"Hmph! Let me take a look at this method first."
The undertaker snorted coldly and also rushed out to kill.
He wanted to see the order of the great way that was completely different from the order of the myriad laws of the world. Didn't they log in to the heavens to witness the myriad laws of the heavens and to open up their own path? Now he had finally gotten what he wanted.
puff!
The Undertaker's white hair danced wildly as he exploded. As he raised his hand, the true patterns of the Great Dao spread. The completely different order of the power of reincarnation evolved and suppressed the great power of all things.
The next moment, rich imperial light emanated from the Dao Fruit, covering the sky and earth. The power of the law of the Burial Master was sublimated, and the golden light emitted by the dazzling true pattern swallowed up the originally deep red world in all directions.
boom……
This peerless strike directly penetrated both sides of the Soul River, causing a storm across the entire Soul River. When countless golden lights exploded, the sky collapsed and the river split, and the world-destroying killing force was directly destroyed.
As the ancestor of the Burial Domain, a supreme creature that gave birth to the Imperial Light, the power of the Burial Master is absolutely unquestionable. He and the Butcher are the strongest people below the Imperial Realm.
clang!
A chain, spanning the Soul River, rushed out like a dragon out of the sea. The true patterns of the Great Dao permeated the air, suppressing the already exploded world.
The undertaker was not afraid at all and raised his hand to strike back.
The Soul River broke apart directly, and the water that was stirred up rushed out of the river bank.
what……!
In an instant, the entire Soul River was filled with ghosts wailing and gods howling, and the world was filled with murderous intent. The moment the resting place of souls was disturbed, wails echoed throughout time and space, like the eighteen levels of purgatory, with gods and demons screaming.
"presumptuous!"
With a roar, several terrifying creatures came rushing over from the end of the crimson sky, and endless rays of light were emitting from the area of ten thousand resonating rays.
This is the King of the Soul River. The leader is extremely powerful. The Soul River, which was originally turbulent due to the attack of the Burial Master, calmed down instantly. The opponent's body was covered with black feathers, like a strange crow, and terrifying chains with blazing black light were wrapped around his body, dancing constantly.
On the other side, there was a creature holding a sword, with dark scales all over his body and Dao patterns all over his body. It was an indescribable creature with three dog heads.
It was this creature who had taken action before, launching the terrifying killing force that suppressed the soul, but was defeated by the Burial Master. However, the other party was not afraid at all because this was the Soul River.
The remaining few creatures also had strange shapes.
"This is not a place for living people to come. Your true fate has been lost, so stay here!"
"You guys have committed a capital crime, and your souls will never be reincarnated?"
Several kings of the Soul River spoke, looking at Chi Ling and the others with cold tone as if they were dead people. Shrouded in an absolute murderous intent, this whole world seemed to be sinking. The kings of the Soul River were indeed extremely terrifying.
"Come on, let me see what the so-called Soul River is capable of, to dare to control the reincarnation of all living beings!"
The butcher spoke, having already taken out the ancient bow from behind him.
"Hmph, the souls of the heavens have fallen, and the river will live forever. You won't regret it, because there is no chance."
"kill!"
The next moment, the two sides were fighting each other.
