Chapter 737: The Soul River

Chapter 737: Soul River

Time passed quietly; thirty thousand years had gone by since Lin Fan and Shi Hao left the Immortal Domain.

In the Sacrificial Sea, just traveling had taken them over twenty thousand years, and after that, they spent several thousand more years studying on the Reincarnation Road.

On this day, they finally decided to set out once again.

However, instead of drifting aimlessly in the Sacrificial Sea, they chose to pass through the Reincarnation Road to reach the various worlds of all generations.

This was very bold and extremely dangerous. If they accidentally broke into the stronghold of the Strange Clan and encountered an ultimate powerhouse at the end of the road, a great battle would be inevitable.

Yet, the two still chose to forge ahead. As Immortal Emperors, how could they feel fear? Otherwise, they wouldn't have left their homeland in the first place.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Lin Fan swung his fist, using his supreme Immortal Emperor-level magic power to blast through the Reincarnation Road, and then leapt inside.

Shi Hao did the same.

Over the past few thousand years, the two of them had indeed gained a lot from their research. The Reincarnation Road could indeed serve as a teleportation array to traverse the various worlds.

Furthermore, there was more than one Reincarnation Road. They connected with one another like the roots of a giant tree, possessing a form of spirituality.

The two even suspected that the Reincarnation Road was transformed from the roots of some kind of plant, boundlessly massive and taking root throughout the myriad worlds of the heavens.

This thought was incredibly shocking. Just what kind of plant could be so Heaven-Defying? Without a doubt, it must far surpass any Immortal Medicine.

"Could it be that medicine—the Myriad Tribulations Reincarnation Lotus?!" Lin Fan was startled as the name of a plant surfaced in his mind.

The reason this medicine was so Heaven-Defying was because it had once been planted by the Sick Old Man, who was the master of the three lifetimes copper coffin, making it extraordinary.

"So that's how it is!"

"This way, some things make sense." Lin Fan suddenly realized.

The truth was indeed as he had guessed. With a boom, when they appeared once more, they had already entered a certain place.

"Another Reincarnation Road, and it's vastly different from the previous one!" Shi Hao was shocked, an astonishing brilliance flowing in his eyes.

Rather than a road, this place was more like an entire world.

At a glance, it was grand yet desolate, vast and freezing cold, covered in boundless darkness that enveloped hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and frozen earth.

Being here was like arriving in an ice age. It was far too cold, with no sunlight, no sun or moon, and the sky was pitch black.

Even so, it could not obscure the Dharma Eyes of the Immortal Emperors. Looking far into the end of the darkness, continent after continent floated in the void.

They could also be described as ruins, linked together to form an intermittent ancient path leading to the unknown.

Lin Fan and Shi Hao forged ahead, walking across the frozen earth and stepping onto one continent after another, searching for useful information.

Finally, in a ruined pit, they unearthed a stone stele. Its appearance was very ancient and simple, and it was unknown in which era it had been erected.

The unfamiliar symbols carved upon it originally possessed a rich Dao charm that could render it imperishable for eternity, but now they had become blurry and indistinct.

However, for an Immortal Emperor, restoring a stone stele was incredibly simple; they only needed to trace back through eternity.

Even if they did not recognize the symbols and found them unfamiliar, an Emperor could understand all things in a single thought.

"The Reincarnation Road extends in all directions, connecting to the Heavens Above, transcending beyond all worlds."

This was the mysterious sentence left on the stone stele.

Lin Fan and Shi Hao's eyes gleamed as they showed a hint of joy. This undoubtedly indicated that they had found the right path.

As long as they continued along the Reincarnation Road to its end, they would be able to find the legendary Land of the Heavens Above.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, hundreds of millions of rays of light erupted, shaking this ancient road. The two blasted through the sturdy barrier of the world and departed once more.

Surprisingly, this time it was no longer land or a river of stars; when they emerged from the Void Realm, they landed beside a river.

This was no ordinary river. Its water was pitch-black like ink, gleaming with a dark light, carrying Chaos Qi, and shaking time itself.

It was too long and too wide; if someone claimed it was a sea, others would believe it. But compared to its scale, what was truly terrifying was the water flowing within it.

What appeared to be flowing water was actually soul liquid. Every single drop of water represented a wisp of a soul. It was hard to imagine just how much had accumulated here.

The yellow sand piled up endlessly along the banks was the same—each grain of sand was a wisp of a soul, stretching as long as the river itself, with no end in sight.

This was truly somewhat eerie and terrifying!

Even though Lin Fan and Shi Hao were Immortal Emperors who had slain countless enemies, their scalps tingled slightly upon seeing such a sight.

"Have the remnant souls of the hundreds of millions of living beings from those destroyed heavens gathered in this river through the Reincarnation Road after their deaths?"

Lin Fan was shocked.

Clearly, it could be called the Soul River!

At the same time, the two also smelled a nauseating aura. It was all too familiar—it was ominousness and strangeness.

"The source of darkness?!" Shi Hao was surprised.

Whether it was him or Lin Fan, having fought for countless years and encountered that substance before, they naturally recognized it at a glance.

The Soul River contained the dark Origin.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a terrifying low growl echoed from the bottom of the river, sounding like the howling of hundreds of millions of immortals and demons, shattering the eternal blue sky.

At the same time, countless soul lights soared, blotting out the sky and sun, throwing time into Chaos, and threatening to overturn the past and present.

Following that, the area boiled as yellow sand surged into the sky, water churned and agitated, and countless waves crashed against the high heavens.

One must know that neither a single drop of water nor a single grain of sand was ordinary; they contained destructive power, and now that they splashed up, it was terrifyingly formidable.

However, Lin Fan and Shi Hao were impervious to all methods. Before the soul water and yellow sand could even get close to them, they were completely evaporated, turning to ash and smoke.

"Thud!"

Yet, in the next moment, the great river's might did not diminish. Perhaps sensing the aura of living beings, a black claw reached out.

It was of an unknown race, possessing nine fingers, and was boundlessly massive; compared to it, an entire Universe seemed completely insignificant.

Now, however, it clawed toward Lin Fan and Shi Hao, seeking to drag them down to the bottom of the river.

"Hmph!"

Shi Hao snorted coldly. He barely even moved, only stomping his foot once, yet the Soul River threatened to tear apart.

"Pfft!"

In an instant, that massive claw cracked and then exploded, scattering black blood and bone everywhere as they fell back into the Soul River.

However, this was not the end. It was as if Vicious Beasts were waking up beneath the water's surface; massive waves towered to the sky, only to continuously evaporate.

Within the dark light that was black enough to cause panic, pairs of brilliant eyes opened and closed, like bright lamps in the abyss, creating a sharp contrast.

"Thud!"

Finally, as the turbulent waves splashed up, dozens of figures leapt out, each releasing a powerful Divine Might.

Some of them had brilliant, hazy Dao symbols; some wore golden armor and stood so tall that even the Universe could not contain their bodies; while others had time swirling around them—

Without exception, these monsters were all powerful to the extreme, ranking at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, and there were as many as thirty-six of them!

Lin Fan and Shi Hao were moved. A large number of Quasi-Immortal Emperors appearing together was truly rare; it was the first time either of them had seen so many.

In the myriad heavens or in their homeland, this would be an impossibility.

Though they were not true Emperors, under normal circumstances, even several epochs might not produce a single living being of this level.

Now, with as many as thirty-six of them here, even an Immortal Emperor would have to take them seriously.

"Those who trespass into the Soul River shall be executed without mercy!" one of the Quasi-Immortal Emperors spoke coldly, overflowing with world-shaking Killing Intent.

It had a dragon's head and a tiger's body, with Vermilion Bird wings on its back. The black flames rising from it made all generations tremble, burning from then on toward extinction.

"What a disgusting scent. You are of the Strange Clan!" Lin Fan immediately recognized them, his expression instantly turning cold.

With a single thought from an Immortal Emperor, all things in heaven and earth, as well as the River of Time, were frozen at this moment, affecting the course of the years.

It was terrifying to the extreme.
