Chapter 1051: Earth's Tragic Past
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The wailing from the skeletons was filled with catastrophe, despair, and helplessness, as if they were telling scenes of a great tragedy.
Qingfeng left these skeletons and continued onwards into the ruins.
Along the way, Qingfeng saw many skeletons lying scattered around the ruins. He could tell from the skeleton's physical traits that it ranged from elders to middle-aged adults to women to children and so on.
These skeletons were all tragically pinned to the ground by long spears.
Not only did Qingfeng feel grief, even Wind-Edge Demon King, Flower Fairy, and the others beside him feel it too.
They all knew these were all living humans before, and they all were powerful self-cultivators, pinned into the ground with long spears.
After five thousand metres, Qingfeng arrived in front of a ruined palace, with a broken-down sign with 'Kunlun Palace' written on it.
Different from all other palaces, this was very big, about two times bigger than the other ones. The surrounding had all collapsed, but there were still nine pillars that stood firm, without any cracks or ruinage.
These nine pillars were all golden; its surface gleaming with gold, and on each pillar, there were lively dragons sculpted into it, as if they were about to tear through the void.
These nine golden pillars contained massive dragon energy and force, and it formed a golden defense barrier that barred all those from the outside from entering.
"This is an Ancient Dragon Array, the Nine Dragon Celestial Array. It blocks all from entering," Black Puppy's voice rang from the side.
Qingfeng's expression changed after he heard Black Puppy. Naturally he had heard of the godly dragon arrays, as the myths claimed that only immortals could set such an array. Why would it be on Earth?
Qingfeng was shocked by the array, but also by Black Puppy's background. It knew of the ancient immortal's array, further confirming his suspicion that Black Puppy was indeed not simple.
Qingfeng didn't react to Black Puppy's words, as he carefully studied the Dragon Formation instead. He heard a voice inside calling out to him, trying to convince him to go in.
Qingfeng walked towards the inside of array, and as soon as he reached its barrier, his body was repelled by the defensive light array of the formation.
"Little brat, if you want to enter the Godly Dragon Formation, you have to activate the dragon blood inside of you. Drop a bit of blood onto it and ask for its permission." The Fire Dragon's crippled voice rang inside Qingfeng's head with hints of sorrow.
This Fire Dragon was one of the Earth's last surviving ancient godly dragons. It was severely wounded in the ancient battle, and had hid and kept itself alive inside the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.
Qingfeng did as the Fire Dragon told, activating his dragon blood inside and releasing the Dragon Spell as he bit on his finger. He dropped one drop of blood onto the Godly Dragon Formation.
Swoosh!
A beam of golden light flashed by, and Qingfeng's body was immediately transported inside the Godly Dragon Array.
Black Puppy also bit its paw when it saw Qingfeng had entered, and it dripped one drop of dog blood onto the array and wanted to enter.
Bang!
At a loud bang sound, the Godly Dragon Array sent out a golden beam and repelled Black Puppy a few hundred metres away. It had no place for Black Puppy, and the puppy stood up with awkward rejection.
Wind-Edge Demon King, Flower Fairy, Xianzhi, and Daoist all cut their fingers, and dripped one drop of blood into the Godly Dragon Formation.
With two beams of golden light, Flower Fairy and Xianzhi were taken into the array, whereas Wind-Edge Demon King and Daoist were rejected out.
Daoist frowned and complained, "Dammit, why do Flower Fairy and Xianzhi get to enter, and I get rejected? This is sexism!"
Although the Daoist felt upset, he knew how powerful the Godly Dragon Formation was. Without its approval, there was no chance to enter.
Daoist shook its head, and appeared disappointed. Since they were rejected, they could only wait outside.
At the same time, Qingfeng was in the middle of the Godly Dragon Array.
From the outside, there were only nine Godly Dragon pillars, but the inside was completely different. It was a massive and extremely extravagant palace with golden bricks, glass tiles, jade floors, and crystal walls.
In the middle of the palace sat a massive Dragon Throne in gold, with lively dragons sculpted on it, each with great pride and power.
Of course, these were all an illusion caused by the array; it displayed all that existed before.
Not long after Qingfeng entered, Flower Fairy and Xianzhi appeared beside him, and caused him quite a shock.
"How did you two enter?" Qingfeng frowned as he asked the two.
Flow Fairy smiled attractively, and said, "We dropped our blood inside and got the Godly Dragon Formation's approval."
Qingfeng was shocked to hear this, the formation approved him because he had dragon blood inside of him, but how did the Flower Fairy and Xianzhi get in without dragon blood?
Boom!
A massive image of a galaxy appeared before the trio. There were countless dimensions revolving inside the galaxy as time turned backwards.
If one inspected closely, they would see that there were three thousand grand dimensions inside, one of them was of sky blue colour that looked like Earth. That was Earth back in ancient times.
"This is the image of Earth from thousands of years ago," Qingfeng said with odd suspicion.
Suddenly, the ancient Earth released a beam of rainbow light, and a massive magical tower was conjured up, with "Heaven-Sealing Tower" written on it.
Not long after the Heaven-Sealing Tower appeared, with the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the centre of Earth. However amongst some of the three thousand most powerful stars, they saw the birth of this Heaven-Sealing Tower.
The Heaven-Sealing Tower was the utmost treasure born out of the chaotic galaxy. It had always been there since the creation of all. The legend had it that whoever acquires the Tower would be able to suppress all, and become the truly invincible Emperor.
The celestial emperors and immortals of one hundred planets attacked Earth with the most powerful disciples of their sects, forcing Earth to give up the Heaven-Sealing Tower. However, the Earth's Sky Emperor disagreed and a great battle was unleashed.
This massive battle lasted for a thousand years. Although the saints and immortals on Earth were extremely powerful, the opponents won in numbers. With all the power, celestial emperors, immortals, and saints from those hundred stars, they totalled to over several billions.
Those from other dimensions were cruel beyond imagination. They massacred the self-cultivators on Earth, not even sparing the weak, young, elderly, or women.
Qingfeng saw a middle-aged armoured man charge at an eight-year-old girl with a long spear.
The little girl was terrified as she ran, such that even her shoes fell off. Just as the armoured man stabbed at the little girl with the spear, the girl's grandfather blocked the spear with his own body, sacrificing himself.
Qingfeng's eyes turned red, as all he could do was helplessly watch what had happened a long time ago, in anger.
