Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1739: Chapter 1778: Eleventh Layer (Part 2)

For some unknown reason, during this meeting, the Ayushura King answered every question Jiang Fan had.

Even when it involved secrets from the Hell Realm from ten thousand years ago, she was entirely forthcoming.

Jiang Fan was once again shocked: ”The Ancient Giants War from a thousand years ago?”

”Did the Saint Realm from our Human Clan participate in that battle?”

”Wasn’t it said that Saints wouldn’t come forth?”

He didn’t understand. If it was the Ancient Saints who intervened, how could Central Earth possibly lose?

The Ten Sins of Central Earth that betrayed them couldn’t stir up any waves in front of Saints, let alone change the outcome in Central Earth.

The Ayushura King shook her head: ”I also don’t understand how he fell.”

”I only heard the old master mention him with full admiration.”

”He said that with his presence, Central Earth might not have lost after a thousand years.”

Jiang Fan was at a loss.

Unexpectedly, an Ancient Saint mysteriously fell a thousand years ago, and there’s no record of it in history books.

Could it be that some unknown, terrifying event occurred?

For example, like that mysterious old man in the nine-dragon bronze carriage, being pursued and fleeing?

Did the Ancient Saint of Central Earth also encounter a similar inauspicious fate and fall?

What kind of existence could plunge the Hundred Realms of All Heavens into a dark era where Saints do not emerge?

And what allowed dark beings to ravage the world?

What exactly happened in this world ten thousand years ago?

He shook his head, discarding these thoughts. The immediate priority was to uncover this hidden threat, Tian Ge.

Having realized that Central Earth had a significant Saint-level potential threat, Jiang Fan was even more vigilant against these alien races.

He immediately expanded his Soul Power to scan the surroundings.

With the joint search of two Divinity Transformation practitioners, the seemingly vast and boundless Tenth Layer was completely scanned in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

However, no trace of Tian Ge was found.

The Ayushura King frowned and said, ”Are you sure this Dark Shura has come to the Tenth Layer?”

Jiang Fan nodded: ”I’ve interrogated some Asura Clan members, and this woman’s destination is indeed the underground world.”

”Moreover, the underground world was already opened when I arrived.”

”It undoubtedly had to be her.”

”But why can’t we find her?”

”Could it be that she possesses an Invisibility technique that blocks even our Divinity Transformation senses?”

”No, if she had this ability from the beginning, why would she need to gather so many Asura Clan troops to the continent, to stop interference from various sects? By becoming invisible directly, which Martial Artist on the continent could discover her?”

”Unless...”

Jiang Fan surveyed the Tenth Layer, asking, ”Senior, could there be some chance in the Tenth Layer that allows someone to enter an Invisibility State?”

The Ayushura King smiled with surprise: ”In this deserted underground world that’s been abandoned for a thousand years, what resources could there be...”

”Wait a moment!”

The smile on her face suddenly froze: ”There’s a place that might truly have something!”

”And only the Dark Shura Clan would be able to use it.”

She immediately flashed towards the east of the Tenth Layer.

Jiang Fan followed closely behind.

Soon, countless graves came into view.

One after another, tall stone tablets stood like ancient towering trees, with powerful Hell Language etched in black blood.

”Asura Heavenly King Extinguishes Border Desolate.”

”Blood Prison War God Nie Jiuyou.”

”Infinite Ksitigarbha Dark Bodhisattva.”

...

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment. These must be the people who perished a thousand years ago in the contest between the two Asura Clans for the Hell Soul Bell, right?

Among them, there was even someone called Infinite Ksitigarbha Dark Bodhisattva.

He must have been a monk from the Buddha Domain of the Hell Realm.

Speaking of which, the Buddha from the Buddha Domain of the Hell Realm even seized a Boundary Master position in the Hell Realm with the identity of a Central Earth person.

It’s unknown why the Boundary Masters of the Hell Realm agreed to his rise to a Boundary Master.

Logically, they could have suppressed him when Buddha was breaking through.

At this moment, Jiang Fan was drawn to a prominent tombstone.

Upon closer inspection, it was an imposing grand tomb.

A towering stone tablet stood proudly.

On it were written a few simple large characters.

”Asura Empress Dongfang Canyue!”

Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed a bit. The surname Dongfang, isn’t it from the royal line of the Dark Shura Clan?

Currently, this grand tomb had been smashed open, and the corpse within was nowhere to be found.

Additionally, a Shura King’s tomb had been opened.

And the tomb of Infinite Ksitigarbha Dark Bodhisattva had also been opened.

However, the remains of Dongfang Canyue and the Shura King were missing.

The remains of Infinite Ksitigarbha Dark Bodhisattva have yet to be taken away.

The Ayushura King stood before the tomb of a Shura King, saying in a deep voice: ”As expected!”

”This is the tomb of a Bloodthirsty Asura King, and his remains still contain his talent, disguise!”

”This woman named Tian Ge activated the disguise talent just now, hence blocking our senses.”

Jiang Fan was suddenly enlightened.

If the talent allowed them to disguise as stationary dead objects, Jiang Fan and the Ayushura King indeed wouldn’t discover them.

Gazing at the obviously unremoved remains of the Dark Bodhisattva, Jiang Fan squinted his eyes, scanning around, and said: ”She shouldn’t have gone far, otherwise, she wouldn’t have left this body behind.”

Perhaps she noticed the two pursuing her, daring not to stay, forcing her to abandon the Dark Bodhisattva’s remains.

The Ayushura King pondered: ”Where would they go?”

Suddenly, her expression changed drastically: ”Not good, she might be heading for the Eleventh Layer!”

”Or she might be heading for the Little Young Master! Oh no, the Little Young Master is alone at the altar!”

Jiang Fan’s expression shifted slightly.

He immediately said: ”You go find the Little Young Master, I’ll go check around the Eleventh Layer.”

The Ayushura King dared not delay, immediately flashing away.

Jiang Fan paused briefly, gazing at the jade-like remains of the Dark Bodhisattva, briefly contemplating before collecting the remains.

Subsequently, a few instances of Instantaneous Movement brought him to the edge of the Tenth Layer.

A pitch-black abyss led directly to the Eleventh Layer.

Streaks of dangerous black arc lightning occasionally burst forth from the abyss.

Above the abyss, a light curtain interwoven with bloodlight contained a silver coffin.

Those black arcs were instantly dissolved upon touching the coffin.

This was the remains of Dugu Empress, the Little Young Master’s mother.

It was precisely due to her suppression that the Hell Creatures active in the Eleventh Layer couldn’t break into the Tenth Layer.

At this moment, massive commotions emerged from the abyss.

Countless Hell Creatures roared angrily, surging madly, seemingly enraged.

Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed sharply—it was Tian Ge!

She indeed infiltrated the Eleventh Layer!

Without hesitation, Jiang Fan decisively performed the No-Self Dust-Cleansing Technique, disappearing from the spot, and then leaped into the boundless abyss.

Although the barrier between the Tenth and Eleventh Layer appeared to be just a thin layer, Jiang Fan actually spent the time of half a tea cup to cross it.

This length of time was sufficient to traverse half of the continent’s distance.

It turns out that each layer in the underground world is separated by vast distances.

If without a Transmission Array, traveling by foot, it would take at least several two-hour periods to reach the Eleventh Layer from the First Layer.

The distance was comparable to crossing one of Taicang’s Great States!!

Jiang Fan increasingly clarified his conjectures about the essence of the underground world.

At this moment.

His feet landed.

The Eleventh Layer, said to house Saints, he finally arrived.
