Chapter 466: Transcendence is Poisonous, the Great Dao is Demonic

This world had been giving Jiang Ming a strange feeling. The Chaos where Jiang Ming came from, was too vast with numerous great chiliocosms. Above the great chiliocosm, there was the Sea of Chaos, the supreme world. In fact, it was suitable to be called the Sea of Chaos because it was referring to the entire Chaos.
The Sea of Chaos over here, based on what had been found so far, however, had only a galaxy which was operating. The other galaxies had been destroyed, hence lifeless. After an unknown number of years, they might have decayed completely, not even residual would be left.
“Based on investigation, and the historical sites discovered in the Sea of Chaos, we deduced that a new galaxy would be born only after the old one is destroyed.” Pan Wang sat cross-legged, sharing whatever he knew without hesitation. “When the galaxy is being destroyed, a new galaxy would be born in another place. It’s just like a reincarnation. In fact, we have been wondering why the destruction and the rebirth of a galaxy aren’t happening at the same place to make it a complete reincarnation cycle! Perhaps it’s due to the fact that the Sea of Chaos is too huge, or perhaps a destroyed galaxy would emit too much aura of death, which would make it difficult for a new galaxy to form at the same location.”
Even Pan Wang was not assured himself. After all, the past had been too long. Much evidence had gone along with time, hence couldn’t refer to checking for their validity.
“What about the Valley of the End? What’s it like there?” Jiang Ming asked.
!!“Alas the Valley of the End!” Pan Wang said as he pondered, “That’s the most well-known forbidden area of the Chaos. It’s extraordinarily dangerous. In normal times, even the death rate for Supreme Experts who entered was 40 percent. If it was during the period of disaster, the death rate could even soar up to 95 percent. It was extremely horrible. However, the legend says that there is a method of transcendence.”
As Pan Wang said, he took out a stone tablet. It was extremely torn, filled with cracks, and there were broken parts on top and the bottom of the tablet. It was as if the tablet would be completely torn if it was hit.
“This is what I took out from the Valley of the End!” Pan Wang said as he pointed at the stone tablet.
Pan Wang’s cultivation base was already at the Half-King Saint Realm, hence it was natural for him to look for the method of transcendence. He spent most of his time traveling in the Sea of Chaos. He had checked out many ruins of the destroyed galaxies, and ventured into many dangerous places. Therefore, the Sea of Chaos to him was no longer that secretive.
He had even entered the Valley of the End three times. For once he almost fell into a dead end, the other he was almost killed, and another it was quite smooth but it still took him a million year to get out of the valley.
This was the fourth time, and he learned about the plot of the red-robed old man and the likes. Pan Wang could sense the inexplicable attractiveness of that thing that they were plotting to get. It was as if the thing had a method of transcendence. Hence, he wanted to put his hand on that thing.
The moment the stone tablet appeared, it induced a torrent filled with power of destruction. Thereby he took the opportunity to take his move, grabbed on the stone tablet, and swiftly eluded.
This resulted in him being chased after, which had lasted for tens of thousands of years.
When he heard about what had happened in the galaxy, he was rushing back to meet Jiang Ming. However, he didn’t expect the red-robed old man and the likes to have deduced his traces, and laid out the trap in advance.
“Premature Death!” Jiang Ming saw the words on the stone tablet, which was very unclear due to the decay, and said frowningly, “Are there only two words? What does this mean?”
“I don’t understand either!” Pan Wang also frowned. “If it’s a tablet for recording, it wouldn’t have just two words. However, if you look at its size and volume, it doesn’t seem to be a piece of a set. Anyway, the fact that it’s found there, proves that it shouldn’t be that simple. It’s just that we haven’t discovered it yet. But this stone tablet is very hard. I can’t crack it even with my power.”
“Let me see!” Jiang Ming grabbed it over, and knocked it to hear a dull sound.
Jiang Ming condensed his power, evoking the Return of Infinite Law Finger but didn’t leave any trace on it at all.
Pan Wang revealed a strange look on his face. He didn’t voice out anything but thought, ‘Three thousands laws? These are of very low grade laws, yet they can be condensed into a special ability. How sky-defying is that?’
Following that, Jiang Ming focused his gaze, emitting the power of his Saint Soul, which materialized as it struck against the stone tablet. This one strike actually scattered the stone tablet into pieces.
Pan Wang’s pupils dilated at shock. It was this power that trembled his soul.
“This is…” Pan Wang suddenly discovered a smaller stone which fell out of the stone tablet. It was the size of a palm, and had an inscription containing the everlasting quality imprinted on it. The inscription said, “Transcendence is poisonous, the great Dao is demonic.”
This sentence radiated out endless hopelessness. It seemed like falling eternally into the boundless abyss. There wasn’t hope nor future, not even a single ray of hope could be seen. There was only the cry of despair.
“The future is full of darkness. If it’s only darkness, what’s the meaning of staying alive? What other meanings do we have…” Hong Ying was filled with despair, tears falling from her eyes, and she was shivering when she continuously repeated her last phrase. Meanwhile, the power within her had gone wild.
Jiang Ming had to evoke the power of his King Saint Soul to isolate the Dao fluctuation emitted from the small stone, and at the same time cast an illumination technique at her to calm her mind.
Hong Ying shuddered, and her face full of shock, “I-I-I’m actually affected? I almost wanted to self-destruct in despair just now. What’s the power contained within? Why is it so terrifying? By the way, brother Jiang, thanks.”
“Since I’ve brought you here, I’m responsible for your safety! Don’t worry, you’ll be alright with me around.” Jiang Ming comforted Hong Ying.
“Your words have given me a sense of security. You are so manly.” Hong Ying looked at Jiang Ming with her burning gaze.
This had rendered Jiang Ming speechless. He didn’t believe that Hong Ying was truly complimenting him because she was simply an old witch.
“The Dao fluctuations contained in it have affected me too. I can’t help feeling despair too.” Pan Wang frowned greatly. His power had been surging out of his body, resisting the fluctuations emitted out from the stone. “This is the power stronger than the Supreme Expert in the galaxy. Otherwise, it absolutely wouldn’t tremble my mind.”
Jiang Ming nodded. He wasn’t affected but he could clearly sense that the power of mind imprinted on it was filled with endless despair.
“What does this sentence mean?” Jiang Ming was confused. “The transcendence is poisonous, and the great Dao is demonic? It’s easy to explain that the transcendence is poisonous, it is about transcending the Chaos right? But why is the great Dao demonic?”
Jiang Ming grabbed the stone in hand, releasing his power, but he couldn’t scatter it at all. Even if he applied the power of his King-Saint Soul, he could only leave an imprint or just a faint trace on it. Hence, he believed that it was a supreme immortal gold.
“Transcendence is poisonous, the great Dao is demonic!” Pan Wang also scratched his head. “Does it mean that the external Chaos is a dead end? No, it’s not right, you’re from the external Chaos. But the power on it is obviously the power of the King Saint that you mentioned. What did the owner of this power discover to be in such despair?”
“I’m afraid that it’s related to the uniqueness of your world here.” Jiang Ming muttered. He had discovered the weirdness of the world long ago. And now he felt he was quite sure of it now.
