Chapter Twenty-Six: The History of Sealing the Dust
"And...... It seems to be missing the Stygian Pattern. β
The artifact is so called because it can have a pattern on it, which can amplify the power of the underworld, so that it can be used to cast more powerful spells or make the artifact sharper.
Just when Han Ling wanted to say something else, Yang Mu and his party fell aside.
"What's going on......"
Yang Mu stared at the road from which he came with a surprised gaze. At this time, those dead bodies could no longer support their broken bodies, and they fell into the desert one after another, but he did not forget the appearance of worship not long ago. Yang Mu's gaze looked at Han Ling with some puzzlement, and then he showed surprise.
"Dead corpses, these two people ......" When Yan Mu was so surprised in his heart, the two of them didn't pay much attention to his expression, after all, breaking through from such a group of dead corpses was a huge drain on the two of them, but fortunately, the two of them were not injured. Seeing this, Yan Mu couldn't continue to ask questions, so he could only stop and rest for a while.
After Han Ling recovered for a while, he followed Yanmu towards his destination again, and at this time, Han Ling found that this place was very different from Linyang, and the building was very well preserved, and there was no major damage. The houses and streets are still there, brand new, and there are still many souls floating here.
When Yanmu passed by, those soul people were in awe, they obviously understood that they were souls at this moment, but they still respected Yanmu so much, which also showed the extent of these soldiers in the hearts of the Yan people, even if they were defeated, even if so many people were buried with them, they still did not complain at all.
Han Ling couldn't help but be secretly frightened, how could such a cohesive family come to this step.
"General Yanmu, how did the Yan clan end up in such a situation. β
"The invasion of the Holy Beast Empire is naturally the most fundamental reason. But the reason why the Yan ruins can be isolated from the world is not so simple. When the enemy captured Linyang Capital and set foot on the bloody road, the head of the family had already sensed that something was wrong, so he made the most final decision, he used all his life's strength and the lives of all the people of the Yan Clan to cast this terrifying spell......" Yan Mu said a little trembling, the scene in the past he could not forget even if it had been a thousand years.
Han Ling couldn't help but look around, from the information he had gained along the way, he could guess that the head of the Yan family had sent this space into another place and sealed it so that no living could enter. And all living beings in the space will be deprived of their lives, leaving only souls that can move freely.
"In the ruins of the Yan Clan, once a person from the Holy Beast Empire steps into the Wild Northern Domain, he will feel it, and the Wild North County is the center where the head of the family casts spells, and there, the Yan soldiers have the ability to directly kill the people of the Holy Beast Empire who step into it. β
"If it weren't for the weakening of the seal on the same day of the two moons, how could the Holy Beast Empire alone break the family master's spell. Yan Mu said with some disdain, no wonder, the Yan family's spell forcibly sacrificed the lives of at least hundreds of thousands of people, compared to the spell of the Holy Beast Empire that sacrificed dozens of people, it was far behind.
"What's going on on the same day of the two months? Han Ling couldn't help but ask, such a spell would never be broken for a simple reason.
"The spell cast by the head of the family is the Absolute Yang Soul Binding Technique, blocking all yang energy, and its landing point is naturally the power of extreme yin. Heaven and earth Taiji, the transformation of two instruments, one is yang, two yin, and the two moons and the same day is the moment of extreme yin between heaven and earth. It's just that pure yang and extreme yin only appear once every 5,000 years, and there is a cycle in 10,000 years. β
"General Yanmu, you said that the Holy Beast Empire's invasion of the Wild Northern Region was for your guardianship, and I would venture to ask what this guardian is. "The Holy Beast Empire's invasion through such a heaven and earth vision must have a plan, and Yan Mu also said just now that the Holy Beast Empire is not trying to capture the territory.
"Hey......" Yan Mu sighed and said, "It's a long story, it's a long, long time ago." β
"As I just said, heaven and earth are two instruments, and the cycle of ten thousand years. And at this moment 5,000 years ago, it was the time of pure yang. When the yang is pure, the cathode is avoided, and the unilateral imbalance of force will naturally cause some things to collapse, and the consequence of this is the destruction of life. And the main source of this imbalance is very central to the Netherworld, where there is an ancient path, the source of trouble. β
"This ancient road was opened tens of thousands of years ago at the time of pure yang, and after that, when the time of extreme yin came, this ancient road absorbed the power of extreme yin and made this place a road to the gods. And at that time, it was also the time when the Netherworld really rose. The power of the contractor intimidates heaven and hell, and even makes him submissive. But all this is completely over at the next pure yang time. The reason is naturally very obvious, the excess and imbalance of the ancient road yang qi has spread to the entire netherworld. β
"At that time, none of the people in the ancient road could escape, and their life and death were uncertain. This catastrophe almost destroyed the entire Netherworld, causing its vitality to be greatly damaged, but fortunately, the Seven Emperors, who were standing at the peak of the contract at that time, absorbed all the pure yang and extreme yin power in the ancient path, fused and converged, and became eight holy relics, and sealed the ancient path at the same time. β
"It's just that these ancient things have long since lost their sophistication, and the Seven Emperors themselves have lost their traces after sealing the ancient road, but before they were all there, those eight artifacts were distributed to the eight major families of the Netherworld at that time, one of which was our Yan family. And what we are guarding is the core part of the Eight Holy Relicsβthe Nether Heart. β
"So, the Holy Beast Empire is trying to take away the Soul Gathering Heart from the Yan family? Could it be that their purpose is ......?"
"It is precisely to restart the ancient road! The head of the family once said that the next time the road of Shura is opened, it is the time when the troubled times are coming, however, thousands of years ago, the head of the family thought that it was not the time to open at that time, so there was the final stop, but in fact, that ancient road was not a road to the gods at all for later, it was completely a road of Shura, and it was the burial ground of countless strong people!"
"Then the Holy Beast Empire also has eight holy relics in its hands?"
"No, 10,000 years ago, the Holy Beast Empire was just a small country in the north, no one could have imagined that they would be so crazy later, but the head of the family felt that it was not so simple for the Holy Beast Empire to attack, but we couldn't know the specifics. Yan Mu said helplessly, his life had been lost the moment the Absolute Sun Soul Binding Technique was cast, and now he was just a soul that could not leave this ruins.
Han Ling and Xuan'er were a little stunned when they heard this, they didn't know what Yan Mu said, even in the ancient books that were handed down, there was no trace of the path of Shura, not only that, but the twelve holy relics, the Seven Emperors and other things and people did not have the slightest explanation, as if they didn't want the latecomers to know. Even if it was the Yan family, Han Ling had already heard very little.
"The inheritance foundation of the Yan family is actually not so weak, and it is also because of some accidents that have happened within it that this has come to this point. I heard what the head of the family said, there are still the descendants of my Yan family in the other world, but it has always been extremely peaceful, unlike here, the fight has never stopped. β
Hearing Han Ling's words, he couldn't help but be surprised, this was something he hadn't thought of himself, and he didn't even know the reason.
Another world, the descendants of the Yan clan, the descendants of Yan and Huang, Han Ling faintly felt in his heart that the world he was talking about seemed to be very familiar to him, but no matter what, he didn't have any impression.
"Brother Han Ling, what's wrong with you. Seeing Han Ling's strange expression, Xuan'er asked with concern.
"It's okay, but I feel that I'm too lonely and weak now. Han Ling smiled helplessly and gently touched his chest so that the abnormal heartbeat could slow down a little.
Xuan'er felt that it was no good to know these things. Xuan'er frowned a little and said, they could naturally hear the stakes involved, and the Yan clan had come to this point because of their interests.
"This little girl is right, if the Yan family didn't have this holy relic, maybe it would still exist now. Yan Mu sighed, it's just that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, not to mention the situation at that time, how could the family, which is the pillar of the Netherworld, retreat with all its bodies.
"But it's normal for you not to know, unless you come from some big family, it's impossible to know this. Yan Mu also said slowly: "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." β
"Han Ling. β
"Han Xuan'er. β
After the two of them finished reporting their names, General Na Yan suddenly stopped, his red eyes were a little erratic, and he seemed to be extremely surprised.
"You said your surname is Han?"
"That's impossible, if your surname is Han, how can you not know this. β
"Do you want to know these things if you have the surname Han?"
"No, no, that's not the case...... "That Yan Mu paused, and his gaze began to look at the two of them again, "You guys...... If you are really from the Han family, you should know the Dao...... The Han family was also one of the eight great families at the beginning, and they naturally had a holy relic in their hands......
