At the moment when the Bone Boat sliced through the Blood River, the outline of the ancient ruins was reflected in the blood red ripples - nine broken Pangu Heavenly Pillars plunged straight into chaos, each pillar wrapped in a half burning Star Track Ancient Scroll, with runes on the scroll gradually disappearing as the Bone Boat approached. The spark flag of the ashes suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and the residual soul shadow of the first generation guardian of the ashes, Candle Yin, appeared on the flag. The shadow pointed to the crack in the center of the celestial pillar and said, "The fragments of the flow... fell at the heart of Pangu
Xuan gazed at the bronze giant hall floating in the cracks, and the emblem of the "Fireworks Council" on the top of the hall had split into three pieces, each embedded with fragments of ice crystals, flesh and blood, and sparks. On both sides of the palace gate, two half kneeling statues of our ancestors are melting. The body on the left is being eroded by ancient ice crystals, while the flesh and blood on the right are being swallowed by ancient blood tides. Only the spark imprint on the heart is still beating tenaciously.
The ancient law grinder. "Xuan clenched the Skyaxe tightly, and the fragments of stillness and chaos on the axe blade resonated, outlining ripples of time and space in the void." Every time it approaches a hundred zhang, the erosion of the Three Ancient Laws increases by three points. Jin, you stay on the Bone Boat, and the turbulence of time and space here will tear apart ordinary cultivators
Jin shook her head and the Spark Flag transformed into three rings of fire to protect her body. "In the memory of Lord Zhuyin, the fragments of the flow must be awakened by the Pangu bloodline and the Guardian of Jin together. Besides..." She looked at the gradually clear hall door, where the remnants of the twelve ancestors were emerging. "Look, the guardians of the Flame Council are waiting for us
At the moment when the Bone Boat approached the crack, the twelve remaining souls suddenly opened their eyes. Their bodies were made of sparks and ashes, holding broken bone swords, broken jade talismans, and burning animal head totems in their hands. The leader's remaining soul took half a step forward, his voice like a weathered stone tablet: "The remnants of time, guarding the ashes, will you accept the ancient three questions
But it's okay to ask. "Xuan felt the restlessness of the Three Ancient Forces in his body, and every residual soul breath was awakening the memories of Pangu in his bloodline.
The first question is: Did Pangu open the sky by cutting off cocoons or creating cocoons? "The bone sword of the remnant soul pointed towards the collapsed celestial pillar." We once believed that opening the sky was breaking through cocoons, until we saw cocoon silk reborn at the wound
The spark flag of the ashes suddenly burst into a strong light, reflecting the dying scene of Candle Yin on the flag: "Opening the sky is not a calamity, it is to kill the cocoon. But the cocoon silk is of the same origin, and the moment it is cut open, it is destined for the symbiosis of the three ancient times." Her voice carried the dignity of inheritance, "The first guardian of the ashes paid with their hearts, planting the seeds of freedom in the cracks of the cocoon
The twelve remaining souls nodded at the same time, and the bone sword drew the door to the palace in the void: "Second question: Is the Three Ancient Laws a cage or a furnace
Xuan took a step forward, and the dust of time condensed under his feet into the Three Ancient Tai Chi Diagram: "The perfection of ancient times is the skin of the cocoon, the chaos of ancient times is the flesh and blood of the cocoon, and the residual fire of ancient times is the bloodline of the cocoon." He looked at the fragments of flowing water floating in the hall, which were bronze fragments engraved with time scales. "And we must make the furnace refine the blade that breaks the cocoon, not the lock of the cage
The bodies of the remaining souls began to disintegrate, turning into sparks and merging into the mysterious dust of time: "The third question: When the firewood goes out, should we guard the ashes or forge new ones
Jin suddenly knelt down and the spark flag was heavily inserted into the ground: "Before dying, Lord Zhuyin said that guarding Jin is not about guarding residual fire, but about making every living being a firewood." When she looked up, her eyes reflected the fragments of the flow in the hall. "Now, we need to borrow the fragments of the flow to make the Three Ancient Laws truly flow
Before the last remaining soul dissipated, the palace door opened with a loud bang. Xuan and Jin stepped into the hall, only to see the fragments of the stream suspended in the triple law strangulation array: above was an ancient ice crystal chain, below was an ancient flesh and blood tentacle, and in the center was an ancient spark cage. The time scale on the surface of the fragments is rapidly reversing. With each reversal, the remnants inside the hall become three points younger, but in the next moment they are thrown back into a state of decay.
It's the 'Three Ancient Reverse Time Formation', "the spark flag of the ashes transformed into a defensive flame for the ashes." We must simultaneously cut off the strangulation of the three laws, otherwise the fragments will be torn into nothingness
Xuan nodded, and the power of the Three Ancient Ones erupted within his body: the crystallized Pangu axe blade of his left arm slashed towards the ice crystal chain, and the frozen time scale suddenly came to a halt; The right hand's flesh and blood tendrils wrap around them, and the chaotic force causes the reversed scale to become disordered; The spark in the heart turns into a chain, forcibly stabilizing the central spark cage. Three forces form a triangle in the void, freezing the entire reverse time array in an instant.
Seize the moment! "Jin's halberd transformed into countless sparks of arrows, shooting towards the law nodes around the fragments. With each arrow hitting the node, the battle cry of the ancestors resounded in the hall, and the collapsed stone pillars stood up again in the spark.
At this moment, a deafening noise suddenly came from outside the hall. Twelve ancient ice crystal fortresses and ancient flesh and blood fortresses arrived at the same time. At the top of the leading ice crystal fortress, the projection of the Eye of the Empty Bones coldly gazed into the hall: "The remnants of time, do you think collecting three fragments can break the cocoon? We have already planted cocoon threads in the fragments of the flow
In the fortress of flesh and blood, the core eyeball of Yuanmu let out a sharp scream: "A chaotic feast should not have static spectators!" Her blood mist penetrated into the hall and merged with the cold air of the Ice Crystal Ridge Fortress, condensing into the "Three Ancient strangulation nets" inside the hall, each wire carrying the erosion of two extreme laws.
Xuan felt that the power of the Three Ancient Ones in his body suddenly became imbalanced, and the fragments of stillness and chaos repelled each other in the strangulation net, almost tearing apart his spiritual core. Upon seeing the situation, Jin resolutely inserted the Star Fire Flag into his heart, using the essence and blood of guarding Jin to activate the ancient forbidden formation: "Xuan! Use the power of time from the fragments of the stream to reverse the formation of the strangulation net
At the moment when fresh blood splattered on the fragments of the stream, the fragments suddenly emitted a clear sound, and the time scale began to turn forward. Xuan took the opportunity to inject the power of the Three Ancient Ones into fragments, and unexpectedly condensed the time compass of Pangu's creation in the void. Every time the compass rotates, the strangulation net retreats by a hundred zhang, and those fortresses that integrate the power of the Three Ancient Ones suddenly age in the reverse flow of time.
Impossible! "Cracks appeared in the projection of the Eye of the Empty Bones." The law of time is our common foundation, how dare you use it to backfire
My flesh and blood are rotting in the reverse flow of time? This is a blasphemy against chaos
Xuan knew that this was the true power of the fragments of flow - allowing the Three Ancient Laws to collide naturally in the flow of time, rather than being forcibly strangled. He raised his compass high and roared at the two major forces outside the hall, "You claim to guard the law, but you don't know the true law, which is to give every force a space and time to grow
When the spark pointer in the center of the compass points to 'now', the entire ancient ruins suddenly emit a dazzling light. The frozen ice crystal fortresses began to show flowing water marks, while the surface of the flesh and blood fortresses grew crystalline patterns. Even the Eye of the Void and the projection of the Source Mother revealed a momentary confusion in this light.
At this moment, the fragments of the flow finally broke free from the reverse time array and transformed into flowing light, merging into the forehead of Xuan. He felt that the memories of Pangu in the depths of the Sea of Knowledge suddenly became complete, and the full picture of the Kaitian Axe was manifested in the Sea of Knowledge: it was a chaotic treasure composed of three fragments: stillness, chaos, and flow, each fragment representing the essence of the Three Ancient Laws.
Kaitian Axe, it's finally going to be reorganized, "Jin weakly smiled. Her spark flag was now torn apart, but there was a glimmer of light in her eyes." Xuan, can you see the whole picture of the cocoon now
Xuan nodded and, through the power of the fragments of the flow, he "saw" the entire structure of the cocoon of time: the ancient is outside, using perfection to attract living beings into stillness; In ancient times, using chaos to destroy the will to resist; And in ancient times, just like the ruins they are currently in, it was the gap between two cocoons, the space that Pangu fought for with his life to allow the law to flow naturally.
Next, we're going to the core of the cocoon. "Xuan clenched the phantom of the opening axe tightly, and the three fragments of light on the axe blade shone together." There lies the old corpse sleeping, and its dream is the source of the Three Ancient Laws
Jin stood up and looked at the two major forces gradually retreating outside the hall: "But we are not fighting alone. Look, cracks have appeared in the ancient ice crystal fortress, and those frozen ancestors are awakening in the cracks; in the ancient flesh fortress, mutants have begun to plant the seeds of spark. The Three Ancient Laws are learning to coexist
Xuan followed her gaze and saw cultivators cautiously touching the bonfire in the cracks of the ice crystal fortress; By the blood river of the fortress of flesh and blood, there are creatures carving vessels with ice crystals. These small actions bloomed freely in the gaps between the Three Ancient Laws.
Next stop, deep inside the cocoon core. "Xuan Jiang helped the ashes onto the bone boat, and the dust of time condensed into the Three Ancient Shield on the boat's body." This time, we will bring the new strength of the Three Ancient to face the old corpses. Because the battle to break the cocoon is never about destruction, but about allowing every law to find its own place
At the moment when the bone boat set sail, all the pillars of the ancient ruins suddenly collapsed, but in the collapsed dust, a new capital city composed of ice crystals, flesh, and sparks emerged. That was the first true cooperation of the Three Ancient Laws, and the first milestone on the path to breaking through the cocoon.
In the depths of the cocoon, the eyelashes of the old corpse tremble gently, and in its dream, the balance of the Three Ancient Laws is being disrupted. Those ancient times that were once absolutely static, crazily distorted, and struggling to survive are now moving in the same direction - flowing, growing, and coexisting.
