Chapter 462: Chapter 414: Heavenly Dao Taboos

Two dark shadows were restrained by the void, unable to move, completely exposing their true forms in front of Ye Chen and his companion.

This was a humanoid creature, with two horns on its head and bat wings on its back, yet it had limbs and hands and feet like a human, covered all over in black scales.

Its red tongue was sharp, its eyes radiated a red glow, and it held a trident blade, resembling a ghost from the Nine Nether Eighteen Layers of Hell—extremely fierce and terrifying.

It was a genuine demon, ferocious and dreadful, with an aura of evil that was cold to the bone. Merely making eye contact was enough to send chills down one’s spine, exuding an evil aura opposite to that of this world and land.

"What demon is this? I do not remember any demon race of this form. It looks very evil and fearsome," Zhao Tianyi exclaimed, a deep chill piercing his heart, for this creature emitted an extremely sinister aura, clashing with the harmonious aura of ordinary cultivators, causing unease.

Even cultivators who practiced the Demon Path wouldn’t be this malevolent, as the origin of this creature was wholly opposite to the righteous path.

However, compared to his surprise, Ye Chen’s expression underwent a drastic change, for he knew exactly what this being was—a true Alien Race from beyond the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

In his previous life, whether it was through exploring ancient ruins or facing them directly, he had uncovered some terrifying truths.

The implications of this Alien Species were astonishing, so shocking that they played a significant role in the great destruction of the Mythical Era.

Indeed, this Alien Species’s involvement had led to the ultimate demise of the Mythical Era.

Of course, even in Ye Chen’s past life, he had only scratched the surface—compared to the vast true extent of history, it was but a fraction, and the actual reasons were unclear.

But based on his knowledge, this Alien Species was definitely the greatest enemy of the Ten Thousand Clan and had to be eradicated to avoid future disasters.

Now, this Alien Species had appeared in the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, making him deeply contemplative; he suspected their connection to the overnight destruction of the Sacred Land.

At this moment, Elder Yan also showed a look of shock: "This species, there are still remnants left in the Ten Thousand Domains."

Clearly, Elder Yan also recognized this Alien Species and perhaps knew no less than Ye Chen did.

Ye Chen with a solemn tone, "Elder Yan, you also know of this Alien Species?"

Elder Yan said gravely, "Indeed, although I do not know much, I am aware that this is an extremely terrifying Alien Species, not weaker than the current Great Emperor and Emperor-level strongest clans, and even possibly stronger, having participated in the final great war of the Mythical Era’s destruction."

Why the Mythical Era, once at the pinnacle of its prosperity, suddenly fell into steep decline, experiencing an unprecedented destruction, was a truth the people of Ten Thousand Domains yearned to know.

The destruction was too bizarre—numerous emperors stood side by side, countless strong beings far more powerful than in today’s Ten Thousand Domains by many times, but even this epoch at the height of its power fell into devastation, unbelievable to all.

Unfortunately, many ancient relics from that epoch had been lost, beyond tracing back, as if a giant invisible hand was guiding all of this occurrence from behind the scenes, striking everyone as inconceivable.

Perhaps in today’s world, only dynamics like the Emperor Strongest Clan or Ancient Heavenly Court, possessing the inheritances of Great Emperor and Emperor, could possibly know the true story of the Mythical Era.

Just like Human Emperor Palace, the sole predominant force truly governing the rise and fall of the Ten Thousand Domains.

Elder Yan’s life clearly held an extraordinary identity; otherwise, he would not have known some of the truths about the great destruction of the Mythical Era.

According to him, this devil-like Alien Species, originating from beyond the Ten Thousand Domains, was a pinnacle and powerful race, comparable to Great Emperor and Emperor-level strongest clans, having played a significant role in the ultimate war of the Mythical Era’s destruction.

Elder Yan’s voice even became gravely heavy as he disclosed a shocking event, "In the Mythical Era, there was a Supreme Emperor who fell at the hands of a supreme being from this species, his blood drenching the heavens and the earth, causing the heavens and the earth to weep together!"

Boom—

The Heavenly Dome suddenly burst into a terrifying thunderclap, echoing across the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens, startling all the strong beings within the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, who all looked up in confusion.

This was clearly a touch upon the eternal taboos, triggering a thunderous warning from the Heavenly Dao.

Because in eternity, some matters are locked away, deemed forbidden, potentially invoking Heavenly Punishment if broached.

It was apparent this was one such matter.

But Ye Chen had already paled, his shock immeasurable.

How powerful were the Emperor and the Great Emperor, standing at the absolute peak of Human Dao, even capable of paralleling the Heavenly Dao, supreme and invincible, having reached the state of immortality, eternal existence across the Endless Ages, the River of Time unable to erode even a trace of their Divine Power.

Their view of the Eternal Sky established them as unparalleled ancient and modern, only disputable by Heavenly Dao and other Emperors of similar stature, leaving behind a lineage comprising the strongest Emperor Clan and Royal Family of Ten Thousand Domains, instilling fear even in the Human Emperor Palace, indicative of their might.

Only this Alien Race from beyond the Ten Thousand Domains had once slain Emperors and Sovereigns, tainted with Emperor Supreme blood, staining the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths red, making people shudder in terror. How powerful could this Alien Race actually be?

"Elder Yan, you must know this race has given rise to not just one Emperor or Sovereign..." Elder Yan only mentioned this much when suddenly terrifying thunder echoed again in the Heavenly Dome, continuously exploding above, flashing lightning intermingled, illuminating the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

Even within the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, an ancient sanctuary created by an Ancient Great Power, they still could not block the warnings of the Heavenly Dao.

Many powerful beings changed their expressions, wondering what had happened. The thunder roared incessantly, and this was no ordinary Heavenly Thunder. Even all the Heroic Masters changed their expressions, sensing the dreadful threat.

Elder Yan stopped speaking, out of apprehension. He and Ye Chen both knew if he spoke further, perhaps true Forbidden Thunder would descend, truly capable of destroying heaven and obliterating earth.

His figure emerged, appearing ethereal, visible only to Ye Chen who looked up at the Heavenly Dome and suddenly sighed deeply, "At this time, do you still want to block the exposure of the truth?"

Ye Chen was startled, his expression also becoming solemn. Like Elder Yan, he looked up at the Heavenly Dome, fearing that the Heavenly Dao was suppressing the revelation of the truth, unable to speak it aloud.

"Just as in the Mythical Era when great destructions and other earth-shattering events happened, their truth disappeared because they were erased by the Heavenly Dao..." Elder Yan added another line.

Boom—

A terrifying bolt of lightning struck down, as thick as mountains, shining with golden light, an endless ground of destruction descending from the heavens.

But at that moment, Elder Yan had already flown into the sky. At this instant, his figure was imposing, like a mountain, standing above the Heavenly Dome, his gray-white hair flying wildly, overlooking the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, his hands moving, carrying the tremendous force of the vast heavens and earth to confront it.

A most terrifying explosion shocked the entire Purple Mansion Sacred Land. The Heavenly Dome was punctured by a gigantic spatial black hole, with endless spatial cracks spreading out, a terrifying sight.

The next moment, Elder Yan returned, but with a solemn expression and his form slightly more ethereal than before, having evidently been injured in his confrontation with the Forbidden Thunder.

Fortunately, it was only one bolt. Otherwise, if there were more, Ye Chen too would have been affected, his body destroyed and Dao erased.

Countless strong beings in the Purple Mansion Sacred Land gazed in their direction in shock, recognizing that it was the descent of the Forbidden Thunder. What taboo had been touched that provoked such a response?

Unfortunately, no one could know what really happened.

Elder Yan silenced himself and did not speak again, leaving behind a contemplative Ye Chen.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao operates, watching over the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, locking the truth away, invisibly erasing some truths, leaving no knowledge for mankind.

However, why the Heavenly Dao would erase the truths of some past catastrophic events is confounding and puzzling.

Elder Yan clearly knew some of these truths, but everything was being monitored by the Heavenly Dao, regarded as a taboo, and could not be spoken.

"Like God, oh haha my number..."

Suddenly, Alien Species beings screamed, quite sharply, sounding like a collision of noises, causing people to get goosebumps, uttering an unheard language, their features fiercely facing Ye Chen and others, desperately struggling, their bodies emanating an evil aura, wanting to break free.

"Humph!"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, the Primordial Spirit Light in his brow blossoming, like a dazzling small sun, his powerful Power of Primordial Spirit pressing down, directly searching the Divine Sense of the Alien Race Divine Beings.

These two Alien Demons could not block Ye Chen’s probing. Their Divine Sense was fully searched and covered, powerfully suppressed, leaving them momentarily dazed, unable to resist, and then he searched their Divine Sense for useful information.

Boom—

A corner of an image was presented in the Divine Sense.

In the pitch-black Endless Starry Sky of the Outer Domain, there was a blurry figure of an immeasurable size sprawled across, impossible to see in entirety due to its immense size and endless Demon Fog rolling and obscuring everything.

Even the stars of the Outer Domain, each incredibly immense, appeared tiny before this figure.

It seemed to exist eternally, sprawled in the endless starry sky, Infinite Demon Fog rolling up, blocking out the sun and covering everything, with stars beneath the Demon Fog rapidly dimming to extinction, their stellar power devoured, and then collapsing.

The Eternal Sky before this enormous being completely collapsed, irreversibly obliterated, vanishing.

The supreme existence remained silent, only within its deepest depths a pair of eyes, larger than lakes, stared out, appearing extremely cold, as if overlooking the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, just like the Heavenly Dao indifferently watching over all beings.

Suddenly, Ye Chen was shocked, because the gaze of this enormous being turned toward him!
