At this time, the place they were in had advanced far into the depths of the sixth heaven.
Compared with the clouds and mist at the Tiantian Gate on the sixth level, this place is more desolate and bleak, it is a ruined palace.
In the entire sixth heaven, up and down, large and small, there are 360 palaces. After millions of years of resisting the invasion of heavenly demons, these palaces have completely collapsed.
Occasionally, you can still see some half cornices, and you can barely feel the complexity of the architecture back then.
"This was once the residence of the ancient gods." Venerable Biyue said to them.
In order to protect Meng Congyi, Han Yu stood with them. His eyes swept over everything. It seemed that many years had passed, and the ancient pressure here had weakened a lot. "
"Yes, I heard that the ancient gods at that time were in the realm of gods and humans. If they move, the world will be overturned."
"Why did such a powerful protoss die in the invasion of demons?" Yanran wondered. For her, even though they spent a lot of time resisting these scattered demons in the sixth heaven, some people even repaired because of this. Because of the fall, the heavenly demons here are only at the realm of Yuanshen. For heavenly beings, no matter how many there are, they will be wiped out in a matter of seconds.
Venerable Biyue shook his head, "We don't know the sequence between the formation of the Nine Heavens and the time of the ruins. We only know that the time of the ruins has resisted the demons of the heavenly realm for us. Perhaps, this is the power of those ancient heavenly beings."
Everyone was silent after saying this, and everyone was more inclined to believe that these ancient heavenly beings had sacrificed themselves for Kyushu, and did not believe that the heavenly beings had abandoned them.
While talking, they suddenly heard the sound of water rushing.
It was a shock for a moment. Since entering the Nine Heavens, they have almost never heard the sound of running water, let alone the sound of this kind of waterfall.
Several Yuanshen Lords have already settled in place. Their sight can see far away, and their spiritual consciousness can perceive thousands of miles. Even if it is slightly affected in the Nine Heavens, it can still allow them to perceive the whole distance in the distance. Their expressions are tense instantly. .
Venerable Biyue seemed to sense something, and murmured blankly, "How could it be?"
Everyone was puzzled, and after flying forward for several more miles, they suddenly discovered that there was a waterfall rolling down from a crack in the sky.
"What is this?" someone asked.
They could sense that this waterfall was not a real waterfall, but a brilliance that had almost condensed into substance.
"No, something happened in the seventh heaven." Venerable Hongde murmured, and then stopped waiting for them and galloped upwards along the waterfall in an instant.
When they arrived in front of the waterfall, they finally noticed something was wrong. The waterfall was connected to the sixth and seventh heavens, leaving a gap for the demon, like a road.
No wonder there are so many heavenly demons in the sixth heaven, and they are so endless.
There was no need to arrange for Nascent Soul to be stationed here. They rushed upward along the waterfall. The first thing they saw was not the sky, but a huge shadow.
The brilliance flowed out from the shadow. When I entered the seventh heaven and looked at it from a distance, I realized that the shadow was actually a tripod like a mountain.
The cauldron tipped over, and brilliance flowed out from it.
When everyone stood on the tripod and looked at the entire seventh heaven, they were stunned.
The seventh heaven is not huge, and one can even see it all with the consciousness of the golden elixir realm, but there are three huge giants around it, and everyone is not even half a finger long in front of these giants.
They were all petrified, with three heads and six arms, and muscles were knotted. They were half-kneeling, with their heads lowered, holding the Lingbao with two arms, and holding up the sky with the remaining four arms.
The cracks in the sky were visible to the naked eye. In the center, there was a crack less than ten feet long, and one could see the dark side on the other side, with a faint flickering light.
At this moment, Zhao Ning tilted his head slightly and felt a slight connection.
There was something strange in Zhao Ning's heart. She subconsciously touched her heart and felt a slight surge.
But this perception went away as quickly as it came, and was quickly distorted.
Maybe Zhao Ning paid too much attention to the hole above, and Ting Lan and others also followed to look, "Where is the other side of the crack?"
The venerables did not give them an answer. For a moment, Zhao Ning felt that it seemed like he had seen it before.
At this moment, the expressions of the venerables were extremely solemn. They stared at the three giants. One of the giants was already kneeling on his knees. Two of the four arms holding up the sky were broken, and his head had already touched the ground.
"This will happen." Venerable Hongde murmured.
"What do these three giants represent?" Han Yu asked with a frown.
Venerable Yeliang murmured, "This is the last garrison of the Nine Heavens. These giants will help us eliminate the souls and demons from the Heavenly Palace to the greatest extent."
But now...
They stared at these giants and felt a hint of threat.
The next moment, I saw a giant moving.
It seemed to sense their presence, and it slowly raised its head and turned its eyes towards them. It was obviously a hollow statue without eyes, but it made them feel the pressure to the bone.
Just from this look, Zhao Ning felt a fatal threat.
For a moment, Zhao Ning felt that she couldn't breathe.
Except for her, the rest of the Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't breathe here. Some even knelt on the ground under the pressure. There was no way to make up for the suffocation.
Several Yuanshen Venerables came forward to attack.
What greeted them was a heavy blow. The giant holding the pipa moved slowly, but raised his hand to carry the power of the sky, knocking away the two Yuanshen Lords in front of him in an instant.
The aftermath didn't stop and rushed straight back.
Zhao Ning was shocked. The power was far beyond the range of the Yuanshen Lord, and the power it carried seemed to be the power to survive several heavenly tribulations.
With such power of law, their Nascent Soul realm is like ants.
Sure enough, both Han Yu and Yan Yue discovered their predicament. In a flash, they appeared in front of them and cast their spells in unison. The lightning flashed in front of them, forming a barrier.
The aftermath hit them the next moment. At this moment, the steps of the two Yuanshen Masters were involuntarily pushed backwards, and they retreated dozens of feet.
Although the remaining strength was removed, strong winds came in from all directions, and the hurricane was wrapped with force, as if it was going to tear them apart.
"What on earth are these?" Han Yu shouted.
It was difficult for him to resist, and then he looked at the Yuanshen Lords. They escaped from a light string that spread hundreds of feet, and the light string was accompanied by a mournful music. At this moment, everyone seemed to have fallen into great despair. The collapse he experienced in the Nascent Soul Trial seemed to reappear.
Venerable Biyue shouted, "I only heard Venerable Hongde say that the seventh heaven has a more powerful force, far beyond the first calamity of the Yuan Shen. It can help us resist these evils above the first calamity of the Yuan Shen." Demon attacks. It could be these giant statues."
"These?" Han Yu couldn't believe it. "These things can't be distinguished between ourselves and the enemy. If they are in the next few heavens, we can just cross over. We can't even escape here. Let alone sending them to Shixu, even here. We will be dragged to death, and we won’t be able to sustain this pressure for long.”
"Hold on, Venerable Hongde and the others have used it before, and they will definitely control it."
But before she finished her words, she saw another giant seemed to be awakened by such power. The drum in his arms suddenly made a loud sound, and the entire seventh heaven made a roaring sound. The next moment, accompanied by the sound strings Even they couldn't do anything about the sound. The power directly broke through their barrier and threw them away.
"Ah!" In an instant, several Nascent Soul cultivators vomited blood on the spot.
"Little idea!" Han Yu shouted in surprise. Regardless of the serious injuries he suffered, he turned around and turned into an ancient Kun. His huge figure enveloped everyone, allowing these remaining forces to impact.
His body trembled, which was caused by bearing these forces, and he still held on.
Venerable Hongde turned his eyes and looked here. Seeing that the crisis was over, he nodded with Venerable Yeliang and others, and turned to use the magic weapon at the same time to control one of the giants.
Zhao Ning didn't know where he was hit.
She felt the broken pieces under her hand, and when her consciousness swept away, she saw a broken statue. There were not only three giants here, but one giant had been destroyed.
Looking down, she saw the head of a giant, and its huge eyes seemed to be looking directly at her.
Zhao Ning was sure that it was direct gaze, and she could sense some kind of picture. She pricked her head slightly, and some pictures flashed crazily in her mind.
The broken nine-layered sky passed before her eyes, and everything inside was surrendered. When she looked up, she saw that the sky was filled with stars.
There was an immortal sitting cross-legged in the sea of clouds, holding a carving knife, carving something with one knife.
Zhao Ning seemed to want to feel deeper, but her head seemed to explode. She suddenly picked up her head, but her fingertips touched sticky moisture. When she opened her hands, she saw that blood was already flowing in her ears.
"Zhao Ning." Shi Yueze and Ji Xiu rushed over, one on each side, trying to bring Zhao Ning up, but Zhao Ning's eyes were still staring blankly into the giant's eyes.
At the moment he was taken away, some pictures flashed through Zhao Ning's consciousness again. It was a gathering of countless celestial beings. They stood on the same spot, and the brilliance on their bodies involved some kind of power. Their bodies were twisted, and something was involved in crossing the void. .
"Get up!" At this moment, a loud shout was heard. It was the power of Lord Yuanshen injected into one of the statues. The statue began to slow down at a speed visible to the naked eye until it was completely controlled, and Lord Haochu lost it. trace.
The picture that Zhao Ning sensed was gone.
They turned around and saw that the three venerables were sitting cross-legged between the giant's eyebrows. The original power of their bodies was pulling the giant. Only then did Zhao Ning understand how they controlled these giants.
Only after controlling giants with their bodies and transforming into giants can they fully utilize their power.
Until the end, only Venerable Hongde, Venerable Yeliang and Han Yu were left.
"Venerable Hongde, them?" Han Yu asked in shock. His body transformed into a human being and his body was shaking slightly. It was obvious that he had expended a lot of strength.
"This is the core place to resist the demons in the realm of Yuanshen. Let's go, I will take you to the ninth heaven."
He looked at the others, "You will return to the sixth heaven and station yourself near the hanging waterfall to reduce the pressure on the fifth heaven as much as possible."
Upon hearing this, most of the Nascent Souls responded in unison, "Yes!"
After experiencing the threat of the seventh heaven, it is wise and safe for them to leave the seventh heaven.
But some people are slower, saying goodbye to old friends in the "seed".
Shi Yueze and Xiang Hongxuan told Zhao Ning, "Be careful."
The two people who are usually free and easy-going are now full of solemnity, worry and reluctance, as if a thousand words could be condensed into these four words.
Zhao Ning lowered her eyes and turned to smile, without fear or confusion.
He only said two words firmly, "Goodbye."
Shi Yueze and Xiang Hongxuan looked at each other, understanding that these two words contained too many meanings, and nodded heavily, "Take care."
There were also several high-grade Jindan Daoist people who said goodbye to the Yuanying elders from the same sect and watched them return to the sixth heaven.
After the Nascent Soul cultivator retreated, Venerable Hongde headed towards the crack in the sky with his hands behind his back, and everyone followed him to fly into the sky.
Yanran still stayed where she was, her eyes kept falling on Lord Yanyue, and for a moment, she wanted to stay here.
Shi Lei held her arm and held her tightly despite her twisting and struggling. Until half a cup of tea passed, she still didn't get a response from her mother and finally stopped struggling.
She lowered her head and closed her eyes sadly as she murmured "Mother", letting Shi Lei lead her away with the crowd.
The illusory figure of Lord Yanyue never looked at her from beginning to end, but she seemed to be able to sense Yanran's departure, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
The stream of light rushed towards the crack. For a moment, it was like the scene in the ancient time of Yun Yao's dream when all the primordial spirits broke through the barrier and ran out.
At that time, our ancestors thought they were running towards life, but they were heading towards death; now, most of them are just like their ancestors, feeling panic in their hearts.
This is only the seventh heaven. There are three venerables in the seventh heaven alone who are forced to stay here. So what about the eighth and ninth heavens? Will it be even more difficult?
Everyone's heart is bottomless.
However, when they followed the three Tiangong sages through the cracks in the sky, they were not besieged by thousands of demons or the environment changed as expected.
It was extremely peaceful here. They seemed to be walking out of a crack in a plane. Under their feet were irregular stone steps, stacked crookedly one by one, straight into the starry sky.
Yes, when everyone steps into this place, the common feeling is that they are in the void of the universe, with no sun or moon, but the stars are hanging and twinkling in the distance.
