Perfect World: Ten Crowns

Chapter 569 The Eve of the Sacred Ruins
Boom!

A terrifying phenomenon, even more terrifying than the Desolate Leaf or the Pollen Emperor's fall, erupted, shaking the ages and trembling through the years. Under such terrifying killing power, even the Three Ancestors of the Strange World felt fear.

They wanted to leave, but found themselves trapped in a quagmire, their figures shrouded in a terrifying, eternal domain that encompassed both the past and the future, leaving them with no way to escape.

puff!
Under such a terrifying attack, the most powerful Chaos Ancestor disintegrated. He was the first to be targeted by Xia Sheng and silently perished amidst a massive amount of sacrificial light. Even the ancient golden coffin behind him exploded, resulting in his eternal sacrifice.

However, this gave the two progenitors, Silver and White, the opportunity to leave.

"Kill!"

The two worked together to push the two ancient coffins behind them to their limits. Under the endless killing light, they finally broke out, but they were in a terrible state. In addition to the fact that their Dao source was about to be exhausted, even the ancient coffins of their source were broken and dilapidated, making them unbearable to look at.

However, such a price is worthwhile. They sent away the most powerful Xia, and given time and a few grand sacrifices, they can eventually revive. The problem lies with the Willow God who has not yet left.

Although she has just entered the path of sacrifice, the origin of the Great Dao is being reorganized. If they continue to fight here, no one can be sure whether they will take another one away.

The remaining two progenitors had been terrified by the killing.

Ye's ruthless methods and Huang's terrifying killing intent both terrified them, but the most terrifying was Xia, who had just left. In the instant of his fall, the two seemed to see a terrifying scene on another level.

On the same level as the masters of the plateau.

They were somewhat convinced that if Xia were to survive, he might actually grow to the same level as the master of the plateau.

That is the reason why they wanted to leave.

In fact, before his fall, Xia Sheng had already reached the end of the Sacrifice Dao Realm. However, what no one, including him, knew was that if Xia Sheng were in his true form here at this moment, he might actually have stepped into the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

Only one avatar was sacrificed, which was almost identical to the original body, but it could only be considered as sacrificing a part of the "true self", not the complete self.

Of course, Xia Sheng could only figure these things out next time.

"Stop, do I let you go?"

However, just as the two great ancestors of silver and white were about to leave, Liu Shen suddenly spoke. Her expression was cold, and she held two broken swords in her hands, which were left by Xia Huang. At the same time, a large cauldron and a thunder pool hung behind her, which were extremely powerful.

"What do you want to do?"

The silver progenitor spoke, his eyes deep and unfathomable. What made him wary was not the Willow God himself, but rather the four artifacts.

"I will kill you."

"Insanity!"

After a brief exchange, Liu Shen made her move. This was not reckless, but rather because she knew that now was the best time to kill Gao Yuanyuan.

Boom!

In the end, at the cost of near death, she activated the two broken swords, causing the universe to explode and eternally sacrifice the Silver Ancestor, burying him completely in this world.

Then, without looking at anything else, Liu Shen left with the cauldron and the Thunder Pool.

Only the terrified White Zombie Ancestor remained, watching him depart.

"Another extraordinary woman who is no less remarkable than the Pollen Emperor."

His gaze was deep, and he let out a sigh. This woman had great potential. She had such great power right after her advancement. If she were to mature, she would not be much weaker than the former Pollen Emperor. It was just a pity that he did not have much strength left.

Adding to this the cauldron, the Thunder Pool, and the Creation Emperor Disc that never appeared, these three troublesome sacrificial weapons prevented Him from acting rashly. Thus, the Willow God departed, disappearing into the heavens, while the White Zombie Ancestor retreated to the Calamity Land, sitting at the edge of the plateau, confronting all worlds.

This is not the end. It is foreseeable that in the near future, the two sides will face off for a long time. Countless beings will rise up, and countless beings will perish tragically in the bizarre grand sacrifice.

But regardless, another era has come to an end.

As for how many more eras the great war will last, Xia Sheng has no control over it. His true form has fallen into a deep sleep, reviving over the long years, waiting for the moment he will return to the world.

Countless blood-red eras, some chaotic, some glorious, have passed.

The strange forces have returned time and again, fighting against the heavens. So many years have passed that even veteran Immortal Emperors like Xia Ming and Shi Fan can hardly say for sure. They only know that the world has changed drastically, and countless wars have transformed the appearance of the myriad worlds.

However, the heavens still exist. After that great war, all the races returned and rebuilt the heavens, making it a new pilgrimage site for all the heavens and myriad realms.

However, during a terrible period of chaos, the only Primordial Ancestor personally led an expedition against the heavens, causing the heavens to shatter. Xia Ming lost that mysterious stone jar. Although Liu Shen intervened at the crucial moment and blocked the Primordial Ancestor, he was ultimately unable to retrieve it.

After driving away the strange power, the group spent many years searching for it but still couldn't find it. No one knew where the stone jar had gone. Was it taken away by the strange creature, or ended up in the hands of a powerful clan that didn't want to talk about it, or perhaps in some ancient battlefield? No one could say for sure.

"Not on the plateau, nor within the realm of all worlds."

Willow Goddess murmured to herself, her watery eyes gazing at an endless starry sky. A smile suddenly appeared on her face, and only now did she confirm some things.

It's good to know they're still alive.

And so, in this terrible stalemate, the myriad realms were ultimately held up by Willow God alone. Although there were occasional great sacrifices, in which a large number of living beings perished and became nourishment for the plateau, the myriad realms were not completely overrun.

However, Liu Shen knew that the plateau would eventually make a comeback.

With each grand sacrifice, they accumulated power. She couldn't even deduce whether a second ancestor had been revived on the plateau after countless eras.

However, all these worries disappeared after learning that the three were unharmed.

Another golden age lasting tens of millions of years has begun, with all races vying for supremacy, teeming with life, and endless imperial aura permeating the heavens, as if a supreme being could be born once again.

However, on this day, the strange power showed signs of revival once again.

The time has come to the eve of the Sacred Ruins.

In the vast universe, a stone jar floats in a chaotic ocean, bathed in brilliant golden light. A figure sits cross-legged on the edge of the jar's mouth; upon closer inspection, it is revealed to be a golden seed.

Indeed, after several eras, Xia Sheng has been resurrected. However, he has not returned to his peak and does not intend to emerge at this moment. Instead, he hides in this stone jar, looking down into the future.

"It seems I've seen a new successor."

The hazy figure murmured to itself. Behind it, three other seeds could be seen. One was yellowish-brown and plump, left by the Pollen Emperor, containing the hope of rebirth. Another was jet black with a slight charring, belonging to the Leaf Emperor. As for the last one, it was extremely shriveled and brown, belonging to the Desolate Emperor.

While studying the stone jar, the three of them each left a contingency plan. Now, they have reunited with perfect understanding to tell a colossal lie.

And so, after many twists and turns, the mysterious stone jar arrived at the once perfect world. After traversing countless universes, it silently arrived at a bright blue planet and finally disappeared into a celestial mountain.

The living beings of this world are called Kunlun Mountain!
