Chapter 1824 — The Heaven-Opening Host Descends Upon the World
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
Second Young Master Wuji had never expected these members of the Heaven-Opening Host to agree so readily, nor had she expected them to actually leap into Guixu.
Who in the world did not know how perilous Guixu was? Who in the world did not know the fearsome reputation of Second Young Master Wuji?
Even the Third Young Master of the Miluo Palace would not dare act presumptuously before her, and when he sought her aid, he had no choice but to humble himself.
Moreover, no one dared to pass through Guixu from one cosmic epoch to the next — save for Guixu Dao-achievers such as Shen Mu and the Empress. For the Dao of Guixu was fundamentally incompatible with a Dao-achiever's cultivation; to enter Guixu was to enter the very place where the Great Destruction raged most fiercely!
Their Dao Trees, Dao Flowers, and Dao Fruits, their Grand Luo Heavens, their thirty-six tiers of the Heavenly Dao — all would disintegrate within Guixu and become nourishment for the Second Young Master!
Yet these members of the Heaven-Opening Host were so bold as to utterly disregard her — clearly, they had come prepared.
With that smiling man at their head, the thirty-five members of the Heaven-Opening Host fell continuously from the entrance of Guixu in the Sixteenth Epoch. The moment they entered the Great Abyss of Guixu, the Great Destruction of the Sixteenth Epoch suddenly became incomparably dreadful!
The Great Destruction within the Abyss could shred everything. The thirty-five members of the Heaven-Opening Host fell like candle flames in a howling storm, seeming on the verge of being extinguished at any moment!
Yet amid the storm, beneath the crimson chains formed by the Red Cord Knot, a white light climbed along the chains with tremendous speed — it was strands of white hair, weaving and growing across the surface of the chains, sealing them fast.
Before long, all five chains of the Red Cord Knot had turned white.
Ever since the Third Young Master, Ling Xiao, had undone the first rune of the Red Cord Knot for Wuji, the Red Cord Knot Seal by which the Master of the Miluo Palace suppressed her had loosened.
With that first breach, Wuji had gained a point of breakthrough, ceaselessly invading with the Dao of Guixu, grinding away at the Master of the Miluo Palace's Red Cord Knot Seal.
By now, the runes broken open in the Red Cord Knot Seal numbered in the hundreds of thousands!
The thirty-five members of the Heaven-Opening Host were still falling. With their descent, the power of the Great Destruction grew ever stronger — so strong that an ordinary Dao-achiever who came here would, in a single instant, be stripped of all cultivation and reduced to ashes!
To enter Guixu from the Seventeenth Epoch and to enter Guixu from the Sixteenth Epoch were two entirely different matters. For the cosmos of the Seventeenth Epoch was still in the midst of growth, not yet having matured into a complete universe, and there the energy of Guixu was at its weakest.
An ordinary Heavenly Venerable could rely on his cultivation to protect himself and resist the power of Guixu, and thus enter the interior of Guixu. As for whether he could escape, that depended on his own ability.
But the Guixu within the Great Destruction of the Sixteenth Epoch could be called the most perilous place in the entire Sixteenth Epoch — the power of Guixu there had become incomparably wild, incomparably dreadful!
Even an existence at the Hall Master level would find it hard to preserve himself once he fell into Guixu; even the Young Masters of the Miluo Palace could hardly claim they would walk out of it intact!
As the thirty-five members of the Heaven-Opening Host fell, their physical bodies and primordial spirits ceaselessly split apart, ceaselessly disintegrated.
Although each of them was enormously powerful, even they could hardly withstand so ferocious a Great Abyss of Guixu.
