Chapter 841 Is Zhu Chen from another land?
Although the altar is half destroyed, there are obvious cracks and signs of collapse on the edges.
But that sense of vicissitude and antiquity still sends shivers down one's spine.
It was a sense of awe that came from the depths of his blood, as if what stood before him was not a dilapidated altar, but a living ancient deity, looking down at Shi Hao.
"--hiss!!!"
Shi Hao took a deep breath to suppress the impulse in his heart.
His gaze swept across the surface of the altar, where it was covered with blood of various colors—golden, crimson, dark blue, and jet black—as if countless different colors of paint had been splashed on it.
The blood vessels were still flowing, their diameter never drying up, and they even exuded endless killing intent.
At this moment, Shi Hao's soul was trembling slightly.
This was the first time he had so clearly felt how terrifying the beings of the Immortal Ancient Era were.
Because the runes in those blood are still intact and retain the power of the immortals from back then, they are terrifying.
He could sense that the blood belonged to different powerful beings, each of whom was at least a True Immortal in their previous lives.
Their blood, however, was spilled on the same altar.
In addition, the altar was scattered with broken willow branches, fragments of spirit feathers, and some broken pieces of artifacts whose original appearance was no longer discernible.
The color of those willow branches had faded, but they still carried a familiar scent.
That was the aura of the Willow Goddess.
Shi Hao was stunned by the scene.
He stood before the altar, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the beam of light and the bloodstains, countless thoughts churning through his mind in an instant.
Willow God, Thunder Emperor, Kunpeng... these legendary beings have all left their mark here.
This altar seems to be the end of that ancient road that runs through the ages, where all the answers converge.
Only after a long time, and having calmed down, did Shi Hao look at the altar and slowly ask, "Are you calling me? Why? What does all this have to do with me?"
After he finished speaking, there was a long silence around him.
Then, the light around the altar began to blur.
The flowing runes, like ripples on a disturbed surface of water, enveloped the entire altar in a hazy halo.
Shi Hao felt an invisible force surging from the altar, enveloping him and then drawing his consciousness into a long-forgotten scene.
Shi Hao's vision blurred, as if he had traveled through endless time and space to a place he had never seen before.
Here, the sky was shattered, the earth was cracked, and countless black fissures stretched across the void. Various lights intertwined, forming an extremely chaotic and tragic scene.
In the center of this chaotic scene, he saw a figure that he could hardly believe.
It's Zhu Chen.
However, countless eerie figures stood beside him.
The figures were of various shapes and sizes, some like twisted shadows, some like giant monsters, and some like broken human figures, but without exception, they all exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
Zhu Chen stood at the very front of those eerie figures.
He simply raised his hand and waved it lightly, and those eerie figures, as if receiving a command, rushed madly towards the defensive line composed of the Longevity Clan and immortal beings.
Those immortal families and celestial beings fought desperately, unleashing a deluge of magical techniques, artifacts, and divine powers upon the strange figures.
However, those eerie figures were like immortal puppets, shattering and reforming, being severed and growing back, surging in like a tide, breaking through the defenses of those immortal families and celestial beings layer by layer.
Shi Hao saw those so-called immortal families, those beings who once stood at the top of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, being torn apart piece by piece and devoured piece by piece in front of Zhu Chen's strange figure, as if they were made of paper.
Those immortal beings, those beings exuding the aura of true immortals, were not even worthy of a single blow in front of Zhu Chen. They were all annihilated by his casual wave of the hand.
Soon, Shi Hao saw a familiar face in the scene again.
That was a remnant immortal from the Celestial Palace, a being who once dominated the nine heavens and ten earths, now struggling in the crowd.
Zhu Chen glanced at him, and he and the entire land around him vanished into nothingness.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Hao saw another ancestor of a longevity family.
This being, who once commanded the winds and rains throughout the heavens and earth, was now kneeling on the ground, desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Unfortunately, Zhu Chen didn't even glance at him before those eerie figures devoured him and his family.
The entire battlefield scene can be described as a complete massacre.
After the slaughter, those eerie figures did not disperse, but retreated to Zhu Chen's side like a tide, like obedient guards, waiting for his next command.
Zhu Chen stood amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, his hands behind his back, his robes unstained by a single drop of blood, as if he were merely watching a drama that had nothing to do with him.
Shi Hao's breathing stopped.
He wanted to speak, to call out Zhu Chen's name, but he found that he couldn't make a sound at all.
At this moment, he could only watch helplessly as the man he had always regarded as his elder brother stood atop the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, like a demon god from hell.
I don't know how much time passed, but the image began to blur and eventually faded away from the edges.
Shi Hao returned to the altar and found himself still standing in the same spot, but his back was soaked with cold sweat.
He looked at the half-ruined altar, at the blood that still exuded murderous intent, and at the broken willow branches, his gaze gradually becoming complicated.
"What...what did I see?"
"Why is Brother Zhu Chen on the side of the alien realm? Why is he joining forces with those people from the alien realm to besiege the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"
Shi Hao's gaze fell on the faint light again, as if trying to find the answer within it.
But the light continued to flicker silently, without giving him any response.
Shi Hao didn't know if the scene he saw was a harbinger of the future, a reflection of the past, or something someone wanted him to see.
But he knew that from this moment on, his perception of Zhu Chen could never be the same again.
After hesitating for a long time, Shi Hao finally opened the chat group and told everyone what he had seen there.
Zhu Chen was completely stunned after listening to Shi Hao's explanation.
He never expected that the future information Shi Hao saw beneath the Black Abyss would be related to him.
Clearly, the historical trajectory of this world is different from the historical trajectory he is familiar with.
Otherwise, how could Shi Hao have seen such a scene there?
