The martial world is full of dangers.

Chapter 486 Ancient Secrets

The Demon Abyss holds ancient legends and stories. Since the primordial era, countless Abyss Demons once roamed this vast land.

These legendary Abyss Demons dominated the land, unmatched until humanity fought back, igniting a battle that reshaped heaven and earth!

...

This battle shook the heavens and earth, the world turned upside down, blood rained from the sky, and countless powerful beings perished here!

After the war, the current Demon Abyss was established.

...

As Wu Tao gazed at the colossal footprints, his body trembled, and his mind reeled.

The Source of Time within him stirred, and unfamiliar scenes flooded his mind.

...

A snow-white, slender, elegant figure emerged from the visions!

This figure walked from the void, with a graceful gait, slowly approaching...

In that instant, Wu Tao was inexplicably stunned!

It was a figure of immense composure, possessing an indescribable regal bearing that evoked a strange feeling in Wu Tao...

It seemed the owner of this figure was destined to be a hero.

For this figure was solitary, and heroes most often face immense difficulties alone.

...

Undeniably, this person possessed a peerless aura. Wu Tao paled in comparison.

Especially their powerful, elegant, composed, and transcendent demeanor, which commanded Wu Tao's admiration from the first glance!

Such a person was whom Wu Tao respected most.

This power and presence that transcended the world, even the heavens and earth, along with an unyielding conviction, was the true mark of a hero.

Heroes, besides possessing a fearless conviction towards life and death, should also wield the strength to hold up the sky and support the collapsing mountains and rivers.

...

"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"

Loud roars from the primordial Abyss Demons echoed, shaking the very ground.

One after another, Abyss Demons emerged, emanating a terrifying aura capable of destroying the heavens and earth!

The Abyss Demons were as colossal and majestic as mountains, their presence exuding a combined aura of ferocity, brutality, madness, and bloodlust.

Only then, trapped in a fragment of ancient history, did Wu Tao truly see the form of the Abyss Demons!

The Abyss Demons resembled bull-headed beings, possessing twelve pairs of horns. Their bodies were like giants, with four limbs and a tail, each standing around a thousand zhang tall, an utterly terrifying sight.

The Abyss Demons had massive mouths that, when slightly opened, revealed rows of immense, sharp teeth.

Their bodies were like tempered steel, covered in scales of pitch-black, ablaze with infernal flames, making them incredibly fearsome!

The Abyss Demons could wield demonic energy, possessing the strength to shatter mountains and divert rivers. Their bodies were so robust that even powerful artifacts could hardly inflict damage.

Upon seeing tens of thousands of Abyss Demons, Wu Tao felt a pang of fear.

Given their sheer numbers, even cultivators at the Violet Mansion stage might hesitate to confront them!

Those below the Violet Mansion stage, whether human, spirit beast, or even divine beast, faced only a brutal end of being torn apart and devoured!

...

"Is this the enemy our ancestors faced?"

Even Wu Tao, witnessing the scene before him, felt a soul-stirring shock deep within his being!

This transcendent human warrior possessed an ethereal aura that seemed to float beyond the heavens and earth.

Though not particularly tall, he stood firm between heaven and earth, grasping the heavens with his hand and treading the earth. Drawing the immortal sword at his waist, he slashed downwards!

As the immortal sword was drawn, an incomparably brilliant sword qi shot towards the sky, as if summoning the winds and clouds, making the entire world tremble!

...

With a stern and cold countenance, he held an immortal sword, standing in the air, confronting the countless Abyss Demons.

This scene delivered an immense visual impact!

The majestic sword intent surged, emitting astonishing brilliance. Heaven-shattering sword qi stretched across the horizon, carrying a vast power that filled the heavens and earth!

This sword intent, like a pillar supporting the sky, radiated a terrifying aura that shook the entire world. It descended almost instantaneously!

Under a sword qi capable of splitting heaven and earth, the world was cleaved in two. Many Abyss Demons perished under this strike.

Wu Tao stared at the scene, speechless for a long time.

At this moment, a tremor, as if from his soul, suddenly pulsed within Wu Tao, making him shudder!

In that instant, the entire world seemed to transform!

As Wu Tao looked up, darkness enveloped his surroundings. An invisible yet immensely powerful pressure filled the air, instilling a heart-wrenching dread!

But then, the immortal sword in the ancestor's hand suddenly blazed with light. A magnificent and dazzling nine-colored sword qi instantly filled the world, reflecting the surging darkness ahead, creating a tense standoff. ...

Demonic clouds obscured the sky, endless darkness, like surging demonic energy, pervaded the world. Waves of boundless pressure filled the heavens and earth, giving the illusion of impending collapse!

Under this extreme pressure, the human ancestor was clearly not at ease.

Unbounded fury, as if tangible, allowed everyone to deeply feel its overwhelming intensity!

One by one, formidable Abyss Royal Family powerhouses, entwined with the laws of the universe, emerged slowly. The vast demonic flames surrounding them made them appear like terrifying, awe-inspiring gods!

The appearance of over a dozen Abyss Royal Family powerhouses, each at least at the Violet Mansion stage or above, sent a shockwave through Wu Tao's soul, like a blow to his spirit, leaving him feeling suffocated!

"This is bad, this human ancestor is in danger..."

Witnessing these dozen figures, resembling gods and demons, Wu Tao felt an indescribable fear well up within him.

The power that struck his soul was like a death knell, constantly pulling him towards an unfathomable abyss...

This terrifying power left Wu Tao aghast!

It was unimaginable, considering this was residual power from millions of years ago!

And it was this power, whose drain was unknown, that had made Wu Tao so disheveled, utterly unable to resist, unable to even control his soul, being dragged into this vision...

How could this not be shocking, terrifying, and fear-inducing???

Gazing at the dozen sky-piercing figures before him, Wu Tao felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

He realized his previous understanding had been like looking at the sky from a well, arrogant and foolish.

Just as Wu Tao worried for the human ancestor, his peripheral vision caught sight of several rapidly approaching figures.

This brought Wu Tao a sigh of relief. It seemed this white-robed human ancestor was not without allies.

As Wu Tao turned his gaze, what greeted him was a scene that shocked and exhilarated the soul...

Countless colossal warships descended from the sky, their muzzles aimed at the Abyss Demons. Wherever they passed, the sky-covering demonic clouds were instantly dispersed, revealing a massive, gaping hole.

Beyond the hole lay a beautiful, pure azure sky.

A deep, resonant drumbeat sounded, accompanied by the clang of bronze bells and strings. This was a famous battle hymn sung by the human cultivators before battles in ancient times...

One, two, three, four, five, countless figures flew out, confronting the tens of thousands of Abyss Demons on the ground.

This stark contrast, capable of overturning mountains and rivers and changing the face of the world, left the bewildered Wu Tao feeling as if he were in a dream.

Wu Tao's face turned pale. Everything before him had clearly surpassed his comprehension!

He had no doubt that this was the brutal war in ancient times, when human ancestors fought back against the Abyss Demons, a conflict that had devastated the entire world!

"Loneliness, you scoundrel, what are you playing the hero for..."

A black figure made a霸气 entrance, speaking to the white-robed human ancestor holding the immortal sword.

Observing this figure, who also exuded pure demonic energy, Wu Tao's mind suddenly recalled a name: "Bei Ji Nan," the founding ancestor of the Soul Summoning Demon Clan!

Gazing at the several powerful figures in the sky, no less imposing than the white-robed human ancestor, Wu Tao's blood boiled with excitement, and an unspeakable sense of pride welled up within him!

Undeniably, these human sages who led humanity to conquer all other races and establish human dominance in ancient times possessed the qualities that ignited the fervent admiration of countless men!

After a brutal battle, blood rained from the sky, corpses littered the ground, colossal warships lay broken, and mountain-like bodies were rent asunder.

Suddenly, Wu Tao felt a powerful force pull him back to reality.

Returning to reality, Wu Tao felt a tremor throughout his body, his face turning extremely pale, as if his spirit had suffered a severe blow.

Assessing his injuries, Wu Tao could only offer a bitter smile.

He never expected that merely by glancing at the footprints left by the Abyss Demons on the ground, he would suffer such a mental shock.

All of this felt incredibly unfair.
