Chapter 385: Three Seventy - Blood of Emperor Xi and Blood of Ancestral Witch

Unleashing rays of ten thousand paths, the Dao Monarch’s guide separated the chaotic void near the fragments of Cangtian and the destructive breath, creating a passage for Jiang Chen.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen stepped onto the passage and entered the fragments of Cangtian.

Contrary to Jiang Chen’s imagination, inside the fragments of Cangtian, there weren’t grand palace clusters and intricately carved homes of the immortals, instead, it was a gigantic and intensely gruesome battlefield.

Jiang Chen cast his gaze around, all he could see were ruins made up of demolished palaces and broken weapons.

The ground was covered in countless blood and bone fragments. It was unknown what creatures had left these behind, but they had withstood the passage of countless years without decay.

Anyone who saw such a tragic battlefield wouldn’t associate it with the Cangtian from the legends.

However, the innate vital essence flowing in the void clearly told Jiang Chen, this place was indeed the Cangtian from the legends.

"Battle of the Witches and Demons!"

Once again, Jiang Chen saw the battlefield from the past Witches and Demons battle. Such a scene couldn’t be described as merely tragic. It was more apt to call it earth-shattering.

Literally, heaven and earth were shattered after the Witches and Demons battle.

It was difficult to imagine the extraordinary power possessed by the top-level powerhouses of the Witches and Demons.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Jiang Chen walked towards the interior of the Cangtian fragment.

If his memory served him correctly, Cangtian was the main battlefield of the fateful battle of the Witches and Demons and also the place where Emperor Xi fell.

Something left by Emperor Xi should be inside.

This Cangtian fragment was much larger than Jiang Chen had imagined. This should be a fragment from the main body of Cangtian, not from the peripheral area.

The further he went inside, the fewer bloodstains he saw on the ground, and the stronger the power released from the blood.

This blood seemed to be undecaying, resistant to the ravages of time. Even after countless years, its essence hadn’t dissipated at all. It was as fresh as if it had just been spilled, vivid and dripping.

Tremendous vitality emerged from the blood, materializing various mythical beasts in mid-air, which roared up to the sky incessantly.

The Blood of Dao Monarchs!

From this blood, Jiang Chen sensed a faint suppression. This indicated that the owners of this blood had a realm above Jiang Chen’s own.

The Great Luo Golden Immortals of the ancient era were the Innate Dao Monarchs of today.

Not attempting to collect this blood of the Dao Monarch, Jiang Chen continued forward. There were fewer bloodstains around him now, but the aura became even more powerful.

Faintly, Jiang Chen saw fragments of the Great Dao circulating in the divine brilliance emitted by the blood.

How terrifying!

The people who spilled this amount of blood would have reached the level of a Quasi-Saint at the least.

Jiang Chen carefully avoided the blood and continued to walk forward. If it were the blood of a Dao Monarch, he wouldn’t fear it. But the power contained within the blood of the Quasi-Saint, although it wouldn’t claim his life, it would be enough to severely injure him.

As a Dao Monarch, even though he had just become one, he could only show off and act tough in this era. In the ancient era, he was worse than a dog and would need to keep a low profile.

After moving forward a little more, sensing something, the inheritance of Emperor Xi and the Dao Monarch’s guide within Jiang Cheng both began to vibrate incessantly, prompting him to move forward rapidly.

Without any second thought, Jiang Chen walked forward briskly. Soon, he arrived at the place detected by the inheritance of Emperor Xi and the Dao Monarch’s guide.

It was a massive ruin, amidst countless ruin fragments were two pools of radiant blood, bursting with divine light.

Both these pools of blood were purple, which was what the Dao Monarch’s guide and the inheritance of Emperor Xi were attracted to.

In the mortal world, gold was considered precious, while among cultivators, purple was revered. Legend has it that purple was the color of Dao, hence when the sage travels, he often has purple Qi accompanying him.

For cultivators, if the blood was purple, it either meant that they were of noble birth, possessing the bloodline of Pangu or

their cultivation reached the earth-shaking level, attaining unity with Dao.

Even though they were both purple blood, the two had differences. The former radiated purple vital essence, circulated the Qi of Yin and Yang creation, and also contained the Innate Eight Diagrams.

The latter was a type of dark purple, faintly wrapped around evil Qi, with the fragments of time dancing within.

The Blood of Emperor Xi and the Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin.

Quite easily, Jiang Chen speculated the origins of these two tracts of bloodstains.

At the end of the ancient era, Emperor Xi and the Time Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin had a life and death battle at Cangtian, which ended with the mutual destruction of both warriors. And Cangtian was shattered during this battle.

Bearing these two bloodstains, one corresponding to Yin-Yang Eight Diagrams and the other to Time, aside from being left by Emperor Xi and Zhu Jiuyin, who else could it be?

Showing a slight hesitation, Jiang Chen tried to take a few steps forward.

In an instant, two forces, comparable to heaven and earth, descended, pressing on Jiang Chen’s body. It felt like he was bearing the weight of two great ancient divine mountains, extremely heavy, making him want to kneel down on the ground.

At this point, the inheritance of Emperor Xi trembled, releasing a strand of mysterious breath, blocking Emperor Xi’s suppressive presence. Simultaneously, Pangu’s flesh in the Dao Monarch’s guide gave a mighty shake, negating the Time Ancestral Witch’s suppression.

The pressure around Jiang Chen completely dissipated; his courage also gradually grew. He walked steps to reach the two pools of blood.

Then, he discovered that around the blood, there were traces of many bones and scale fragments. It was unknown whether it belonged to Emperor Xi, Zhu Jiuyin or both.

A very fierce battle indeed, even strong individuals like Emperor Xi and Zhu Jiuyin were wounded and bled. They even had their flesh torn.

Whoosh...

The inheritance of Emperor Xi appeared and took away all the blood and bone fragments left by Emperor Xi on the ground. On the other hand, Pangu’s flesh opened its mouth and swallowed all the blood and bone fragments left by Zhu Jiuyin completely.

Boom boom...

After engulfing the power of Zhu Jiuyin, Pangu’s flesh seemed to complete a part of itself; a slight adjustment was made. The twelve God-killing Arrays forming it also became more complete.

At the same time, a technique called "Pangu Cosmic Light Dao Scripture" appeared in Jiang Chen’s mind.

Of course, this couldn’t possibly be the innate scripture left by Pangu, but one created by Time Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin. It documented his understanding of time and is a supreme scripture explaining the Tao of Time.

As for the inheritance of Emperor Xi, after absorbing the power of Emperor Xi, a part of it got completed as well.

Previously, though Jiang Chen had the inheritance of Emperor Xi, some contents seemed to be erased by the Great Divine Transcendents. Now, these contents were repaired and reappeared.

For instance, the Dao scripture Emperor Xi practiced, "Innate Cycle Yin and Yang Dao Scripture". This scripture explained the variations of Yin and Yang, representing the creation of the Heaven and Earth. It was created by Emperor Xi and Emperor Wa.

There was also the fundamental Dao scripture of the Demon Clan, the "Great Cycle Celestial Star Forbidden Canon". This scripture was created with the collective force of the entire Demon Clan. It documented all changes in the Cycle, exhausting the wonders of Heaven and Earth. The Cycle Star Array Formation was only a part of it.

The power of this scripture was enough to be ranked among the top three in the Prehistoric World. Even the inheritance of a saint might be inferior. Only the Pangu Inheritance could suppress it.
