Chapter 1089 - 1085: Lin Qianfan of the Heavens

Roar!

The giant serpent was enormous, swiftly lunging forward, its blood-red mouth wide open, two sharp poisonous fangs exuding a sinister aura.

Fortunately, Chen Pingping's physical strength was formidable. As he fled, he maneuvered, crushing the serpent with his fists, and after ten or so rounds, managed to force it back.

But soon, they faced a new problem—a great ape emerged, its body filled with the same Ancient Bloodline, and with a roar that shook the heavens, the entire area buzzed in resonance.

The group hid beneath the grass.

"It's over. I'm completely oppressed; this place is just too eerie," Yue Wuxia's face turned pale. Her physique was extraordinary, her bloodline strong, there weren't many forces that could suppress her power.

Yet now, her Dantian, Divine Sense, Bloodline Power, everything within her couldn't operate, making her anxious.

"Strange, I haven't detected any peculiar forces," Chen Pingping was taken aback, "Physical Strength works, original force works, but Spirit Qi does not."

Bang!

He activated the Boundless Sea, a golden sea appeared, and the God Niche floated over again, with Zhu Yan seemingly opening its eyes at this moment.

Yue Wuxia trembled, "Pingping, why don't you deactivate the original force?" She felt as if Zhu Yan could break the seal at any moment, and then, they would likely all become food.

However...

Chen Pingping acted decisively, directly throwing Yue Wuxia and Han Sanqian into the Boundless Sea, and continued ahead, supporting the golden sea.

Soon he encountered the great ape.

Instead of fleeing, Chen Pingping charged toward the great ape, the golden sea rapidly boiling, the original force surging...

He hadn't comprehended any innate abilities yet, relying solely on the most primitive force.

It was a frightening scene: a diminutive Human Clan cultivator facing off against a massive great ape, one side holding boundless Ancient power, the other wielding golden original force.

As the battle started, the battlefield boiled.

After several rounds, Chen Pingping was heavily wounded; he had only recently begun to unleash the original force, and wasn't yet proficient in controlling it.

Being overpowered was natural.

Yet he didn't retreat, instead growing braver with each engagement; the sea continued to expand, the original force tumultuously surging out along his limbs.

After dozens of rounds, he could finally balance with the great ape.

After hundreds of rounds, Chen Pingping landed a punch on the great ape, forcing it back, then charged forward like a humanoid savage dragon.

It was indeed effective.

The cultivation in the system should not yet be exhausted, but the expansion had halted—perhaps because it was too smooth.

The Boundless Sea faced no pressure, so it couldn't continue to expand.

By battling, I can nurture the sea, quickly reaching the first extreme.

Chen Pingping's eyes shone, discovering a path of his own.

The Ancient Battlefield was strange, enveloped by extraordinary forces, suppressing all within. But the original force was unaffected by suppression—is this a coincidence?

No matter what it is, he must seize this opportunity now.

Rumble!

In the next moments, Chen Pingping went on a rampage; no beast he encountered escaped his might as he smashed his fists, expanding the Boundless Sea through battle.

Time passed, and the Boundless Sea expanded to 80%.

The original force grew increasingly turbulent, sweeping in mighty waves, inconceivable and utterly boundless.

In the Boundless Sea, Han Sanqian gasped in astonishment, "Ten thousand zhang for one, a hundred thousand zhang for the extreme—that is a legendary realm. If he expands it, this... this..."

"How is it?" Yue Wuxia's bright eyes flickered.

She had been attempting the same recently, but results were not as promising as Chen Pingping's.

Han Sanqian was stunned and said, "There's a rumor that a hundred thousand zhang is akin to a god."

Just a rumor.

He silently added.

Before long...

Chen Pingping arrived at a dried-up lakeside, sat down quietly, experiencing an indescribable tranquility, like an immovable stone.

His gaze fell to the bottom of the lake, the water had dried up, revealing a spider-web-like fissure, unable to perceive the aura of the "source."

The surroundings were desolate, devoid of vegetation.

Yet for some reason, he felt an inexplicable thumping in his heart, as if something within the lake was attracting him.

An unspeakable familiarity, akin to blood relations.

Suddenly, Chen Pingping perceived something and quickly released Yue Wuxia and Han Sanqian from the Boundless Sea, retracting the golden sea, making himself unobtrusive.

On the other side of the mountain, a man in white appeared, with a slender figure, sword-like brows, and starry eyes, exuding elegance like a scholar.

His attire was pure, untouched by dust, like an immortal descending, he walked over in a few steps, gazing at the fissured lakeside and softly saying, "Once, a supreme Human Clan expert sought to open a path, transforming his body into the world, creating a battlefield, finally leaving behind his five internal organs, keeping life eternal. Alas... the Gods suppressed the world, using the God Slaying Road as a sword, Tianqiong Tower as a coffin, to oppress the supreme Human's five organs, shattering his Essence Qi Spirit, and eroding the successors' will."

Chen Pingping was moved—supreme expert? A path? Transform body into the world? Is this referring to the Human Emperor's predecessor?

If so, this lakeside before him is one of the Human Emperor's five organs?

No wonder he felt inexplicably connected, resonating with his own heart.

"You? What did you say earlier?" Yue Wuxia was flustered, "Tianqiong Tower is a coffin?"

"Yes!" The man in white smiled gently, looking at her, "A coffin from the Heavens, with thirteen layers, each suppressing different things."

"What things?"

"Hard to say!" The man in white shook his head, "Some speculate it's the supreme Human's Divine Sense, others think it's his condensed God Grid, but... there were no records of God Grid back then, I personally suspect it might be his head."

Yue Wuxia's eyes widened.

"He was too powerful, having entered the Half-God Realm, even condensing God Grid. Alas, someone acted from behind, leading to his ambush by the Gods, and then his release."

"He was so powerful that even the Gods dared not devour his flesh directly, fearing backlash, ultimately suppressing him, using time to obliterate everything," the man in white sighed.

What happened in that distant era?

Why does the path from the Void God Realm to the Heavens include such a road—what is its significance?

Lin Qianfan exhaled, "I am Lin Qianfan, may I ask for the fellow daoists' names?"

"Yue Wuxia, Chen Pingping, Han Sanqian..." Chen Pingping replied.

"Are you from the earthly realm?" Lin Qianfan asked.

"Yes!" Chen Pingping replied, "Are you a Human Clan from the Heavens?"

"Exactly!" He nodded, "Though... I haven't returned for a long time, trapped in the Ancient Battlefield. Well, I can't say trapped; I voluntarily linger here, wishing to uncover some truths."

Outstanding!

In such a ghostly place, still daring to voluntarily stay.

Chen Pingping's eyes showed admiration, and he asked, "You mentioned earlier about the supreme Human, may I know who this supreme expert was?"

"The Human's First Emperor," Lin Qianfan said, then shook his head, "Alas, the things he left behind had been taken by the Divine Clan."

"What things?"

"The Human Clan's Essence Qi Spirit, Human Clan's willpower, the Divine Radiance from the Human Emperor's five organs, and I suspect this First Emperor might have already walked into the Divine Tao," Lin Qianfan's expression was solemn.
