Chapter 608 - 589: The Terrifying Great Divine Power User, The Erosion of Power

What lies in the depths of the Purple Void Secret Realm?

Some said it was the Solitary Void Trial Array, others said it was the Flood Dragon Pond, but right now, the expressions on the Merak Saintess and her group were not pleasant.

After breaking through one grand array after another, they had revealed a vast, empty clearing. The aura of a Broken Array still lingered in the air.

According to the deductions of the Merak Sacred Land’s Array Master, a Super Array should have been here. It had been shattered for some unknown reason.

Now, only rubble and ruins remained. The lingering traces were enough to prove that a Super Array had once existed.

However, what was even harder to ignore was the being capable of destroying such a Super Array.

It must have been a Great Divine Power User to possess such means.

The expressions on the Merak Saintess and her group were so grim because their path forward had yielded no rewards. The area ahead was a boundary, with no other Magic Arrays to be found.

This meant they had reached the end of this region.

Yang Chan and the Black Dragon also felt it was a pity as they looked over the area.

This was one of the locations where the Purple Void Imperial Dynasty had once set up a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array. But it had been destroyed. In a single blow, nothing was left.

This blow shattered not only the hopes of the ancient Purple Void Imperial Dynasty but also those of the Black Dragon and Yang Chan.

One of their primary goals for entering the Purple Void Secret Realm had been to find a trace of the Cross-Realm Teleportation Array. They had found it, but it was shattered.

The rubble and ruins were the last remaining traces of the Cross-Realm Teleportation Array. And these traces also dashed the hopes of the Merak Saintess and her followers.

Finding the Super Array first would have certainly given them the upper hand and allowed them to claim the benefits within.

However, sometimes, luck is also very important.

Those with bad luck can only end up with fruitless efforts.

This was the case for the Merak Sacred Land; they had not gotten what they wished for.

"Saintess, should we change direction?"

An Elder from the Merak Sacred Land, a Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster, asked.

No one had anticipated this situation. The signs of destruction indicated that a terrifyingly powerful being had once struck, annihilating everything and leaving nothing behind.

In that area, despite the high concentration of Spiritual Qi, not a single Spirit Plant grew. This showed just how deeply the power of that being had permeated the land.

The power of a Great Divine Power User contained the ability to extinguish life, which was why not even a blade of grass grew in this region, even after so much time had passed.

This was true even with the extremely dense Spiritual Qi.

"Yes, let’s change direction."

The Merak Saintess’s expression quickly returned to normal as she spoke slowly.

There was no path forward in this area, so naturally, they had to choose a new direction.

The Merak Sacred Land would not leave now unless the Purple Void Secret Realm closed on them.

The existence of this shattered Super Array proved that a being above the Martial Saint realm had once taken action within the Secret Realm.

This was also a signal, indicating the existence of a Great Divine Power User in this Secret Realm.

Perhaps they were still inside the Secret Realm.

Yang Chan, Gu An, and the others were some distance away. They could not influence the decision of the Merak Sacred Land, so all they could do was wait.

There was a slight difference between the two of them. Gu An still needed to wait in the Secret Realm, but Yang Chan no longer had to.

He had gained quite a lot from this trip to the Secret Realm. Although some of his goals weren’t met, the Top Level Spirit Medicine and the Great Shift Order in his possession already made the journey worthwhile.

"Sect Leader, I’ve gained a great deal from this trip to the Secret Realm. I plan to return to the Cyan Yuan Sect to continue practicing Alchemy and improve my Pill Sense!"

After seeing the shattered Cross-Realm Teleportation Array, Yang Chan no longer had any intention of staying.

He hadn’t left earlier partly to continue gathering Spirit Medicine, but mainly to see this Cross-Realm Teleportation Array destroyed by a True Divine Powerhouse. It had been an existence even stronger than the Solitary Void Trial Array, yet a casual blow from that expert had utterly shattered it.

That ultimate destructive power was still eroding the land, even after so many years. It allowed one to feel the might of a True Divine Powerhouse.

Its energy had been dissipating for over ten thousand years, yet it still possessed a certain Immortal quality. No wonder it was capable of destroying a powerful Imperial Dynasty.

The Purple Void Imperial Dynasty was once the most powerful force on the Taiyu Divine Continent, but it was nothing before an expert of this Level. The entire nation was annihilated, leaving behind few traces.

If Yang Chan hadn’t learned the truth from the Array Spirit, he would have thought the entire Purple Void Imperial Dynasty had left the Taiyu Divine Continent for a more suitable Cultivation World.

’But even back then, I had my doubts. Even if the Taiyu Divine Continent lacks Divine Veins, making it difficult to form Divine Acupoints, there are still so many people here. There are bound to be geniuses among them. The Purple Void Imperial Dynasty had no reason to abandon the Taiyu Divine Continent completely. They could have left some people behind to maintain control.’

’They could have sent a batch of prodigies to the Purple Void Imperial Dynasty every so often, providing a continuous supply of new talent. That would have been the correct way to utilize the Taiyu Divine Continent.’

But that wasn’t what happened.

At the time, Yang Chan had been puzzled, but after learning the truth from the Array Spirit, he understood why.

The entire Purple Void Imperial Dynasty had been annihilated. How could they possibly have utilized the people of the Taiyu Divine Continent?

With the Cross-Realm Teleportation Array destroyed, there was no way to travel to a suitable Cultivation World.

The fate of those Great Divine Power Users of the past was also impossible to know.

If that powerful True God had targeted not just the Purple Void Imperial Dynasty but the entire Taiyu Divine Continent, then the fate of those ancient Great Divine Power Users would not have been a good one.

After all, even an expert like Emperor Purple Void, who had reached the Divine Body Level, had vanished.

"You want to go back?"

"Still, it’s good that you’re going back. I keep feeling that the Purple Void Secret Realm is somewhat dangerous. Although the major powers are present, there’s no guarantee against other hidden threats!"

"That Flood Dragon from before, for instance, caused significant losses for all the major powers!"

"Your current Cultivation is still very average. There’s no need for you to remain in the Purple Void Secret Realm."

"As it happens, a batch of Spirit Medicine needs to be sent back to the Cyan Yuan Sect. You can go back with them. You can also try Refining these Spirit Medicines to improve your Pill Sense and become an Advanced Pharmacist sooner!"

Gu An was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he quickly understood and said with a smile.

To him, Yang Chan wasn’t much help in the Secret Realm. On the contrary, he had to constantly worry about Yang Chan’s safety. After all, in Gu An’s eyes, Yang Chan’s Cultivation was too weak.

Under normal circumstances, the External Refining Steel level wasn’t considered weak, but it all depended on who you were comparing it to.

Most of the people sent by the various Holy Lands were at the Inner Refining Level. Even the weaker ones were at the External Iron Bone Refining stage. Those at the External Refining Steel level were relatively few. Compared to them, Yang Chan’s Martial Arts Cultivation was nothing special; in fact, it was rather weak.

If they encountered danger, people like Yang Chan would be in the most peril. Lacking the strength to resist, they would likely die in any disaster.

That’s what had happened when they faced the Ink Jade Flood Dragon. Most of those who died were the ones with weaker Cultivation.

Therefore, it was a good thing that Yang Chan could leave.
