Chapter 758 - A Hundred Thousand Years Ago, We Were One (1/2)

The Heaven Court's Creators and Realm Lords yelled sternly and rushed out into the void while the dark smoke surged into the endless darkness at tremendous speed.

Then, another few presences with masks covering their faces stood in their paths, keeping the Creators and Realm Lords entagled in battle.

After a few moments, a voice rumbled into their ears, "It is safe now, time to leave!"

"Time to leave!" the anonymous presences bolted and left in a split second. Realm Monarch Bo Luo roared and morphed into the form of his three-taloned Golden Crow before chasing after them. He was one of the fastest in this world, even those strong presences couldn't outrun him.

It was then that the anonymous presences suddenly stopped and turned around. They each launched a skill at the incoming Golden Crow, lighting up the darkness with the brilliant radiance of their skills as if a million suns had exploded.

Realm Monarch Bo Luo muffled a deep groan, he fell back down and was only able to unload the impact force by retreating a few steps backward while spurting out a few mouthful of blood.

He left a trail of burning demonic blood in the blank space in front of him.

"Haha, the strongest Realm Monarch of all 3,000 Six Paths Worlds? Is that all you've got…" A voice resounded the space right before the mased presences disappeared.

The Creators' and Realm Lords' hearts throbbed, they immediately stopped and didn't dare to give chase anymore.

"My Majesty…"

Realm Monarch Bo Luo abruptly raised his hand, his voice was solemn and deep, "My injuries are fine; leave them be!"

His face was dark and gloomy as he walked back toward the Heaven Court in the Bo Luo Six Paths World. However, the demonic blood that was still trickling down the corner of his mouth clearly showed that his injuries weren't as trivial as he made them out to be.

Realm Monarch Bo Luo was not afraid of any of the intruders, even being able to handle all seven of them at once. It was true the seven of them were strong, but they were restricted from casting their strongest arts and techniques in fear of exposing their true identities.

However, that being said, their true prowess was not much weaker than his, each and every one of them was a peak Creator themselves!

And when they worked together, the power of the skills they could cast was so terrifyingly strong that it left him powerless and gravely wounded. Now, Realm Monarch Bo Luo could only return to the Heaven Court as soon as possible and go into a seclusion to avoid permanent damage on his cultivation!

Their names and reputations must be somewhat renowned across the 3,000 worlds, otherwise there wouldn't be a need to hide their skills.

Realm Monarch Bo Luo returned to the Heaven Court, he movements swayed for a split second, nearly tripping himself and his control over his blood essence wavered, causing him to nearly spurt out a mouthful of blood again.

Then, when he saw the empty treasure vault, he still couldn't suppress the burning fire in him even though he knew vigorous emotional fluctuation would worsen his injuries. As a result, another mouthful of blood was spurted up the air.

"Human Zhong Yue, I swear that I'll skin you!"

…

The dark smoke surged in the boundless space for a distance beyond measurable and time far too long to keep track. Suddenly, unbeknownst to Zhong Yue, the dark smoke began to progressively slow down.

Zhong Yue looked out and found a large region of space in front of him filled with countless irregularly shaped asteroids. These asteroids were most probably the debris and dust formed from a shattered planet.

The dark smoke entered the region of asteroids and went deeper into it. All of a sudden, an elevated stage with a huge gourd of over a thousand feet tall in the center came into his view.

On its side sat a man covered in a black robe, he appeared to be as tiny as an ant when compared to the gourd beside him.

Who is he? Such appalling arcane energy, being able to reach all the way to the Bo Luo Six Paths World from this place and still hold such tremendous power at the same time, Zhong Yue was astonished.

The dark smoke surged into the gourd while Zhong Yue shook himself out from the dark smoke. He landed on the stage and bowed at the dark-robed man, "Senior, thank you for saving my life."

The sounds of metal chains clanking rang out when the black-robed man stoop up. It was then that Zhong Yue noticed the chains that shackled the man's hands and legs, and the huge metal chain across his waist and the gourd's.

"A hundred thousand years ago, we were one. There is no need to thank me for anything." His voice was hoarse like an old man's. He tightened the metal chains and carried the colossal gourd on his back like an ant carrying a mountain. He said, "I've left a teleportal, the destination is set and you should go now. Someone will be there waiting for your arrival at the other end."

Zhong Yue startled, he asked, "We were one a hundred thousand years ago? Are you…"

The black-robed man's back stooped under the weight of the gourd, making him look even more old and dreary than he was. What was a hoarse voice was now added with sorrowness in it as the man replied, "Was one, but not anymore. Now, I am nothing more than just a homeless wanderer who lives in his own gourd."

Then, the man leaped out of the stage and let the darkness of the void swallow him.

Zhong Yue stared blankly for a long time until the man disappeared in his vision, he mumbled, "A wanderer and his gourd… Why did he shackle his own hands and legs to the gourd?"

The reason why Zhong Yue believed that the black-robed man was the one who shackled himself was because Zhong Yue could tell that the man was tremendously strong, perhaps in the same level or even on-par with Realm Monarch Bo Luo.

Who exactly was powerful enough to capture and shackle him?

Furthermore, although the metal chains were on him, his arcane energy and movements weren't restricted at all, which made it clear that he was the one that shackled himself.

Xin Huo suddenly said, "It wasn't his body and the divine weapon that he has bound to, it's his soul that is truly shackled. I think, he is doing this in fear of losing control of himself."
