Chapter 1388: Burning Carcass (1)

With a mix of curiosity and unease, everyone entered that universe.

They saw a flickering light after passing through the barrier’s dark tunnel; it seemed to be the feeble light from a star. Su Ping narrowed his eyes and moved his store in that direction.

Once they got closer, they finally saw clearly what the light was: it was actually a white divine fire.

Su Ping narrowed his eyes and almost unconsciously moved his store away, since it was Heavenly Fire!

Did the Heavens come here already?

!!

Su Ping’s expectations had cooled down. He discovered that the fire was consuming something at the moment, and his pupils shrank.

It was a massive body!

The body was as massive as a mountain, tens of thousands of meters in diameter, and looked like some sort of ancient beast.

The flesh and blood on the surface had been burnt up, while the bones were still burning.

Su Ping then looked around; there was nothing but darkness and silence. He also discovered something unusual: there were no signs of paths or laws in that universe, only nothingness. Even if one were to ignite gas there, it would not burn.

All because there was no law of fire.

Even if one were to blow air at full strength, no one would feel the slightest breeze.

Without the corresponding laws, such a world was essentially in ruins.

There are no traces of battle, nor auras from the Heavens…

Su Ping’s eyes glittered as he examined that quiet world. His entire body was slightly cold; he felt as if he were stepping into a bottomless swamp. His guess was that such a ruined universe had been conquered by the Heavens!

Maybe, their own universe would end up exactly the same.

“That looks like Heavenly Fire!”

The other Celestials also recognized the flames. After all, the alien had set such a fire on the battlefield. They would never forget such a strange yet powerful element.

“Could there be Heavens here?” Everybody was suspicious and scared. It would be nigh impossible to escape if they encountered the Heavens in that universe, as there wouldn’t be more people who would sacrifice themselves so they could escape.

“There’s no sign of the Great Dao in this universe; it’s impossible to cultivate here. There isn’t a whiff of astral power, either!” said a Celestial solemnly. He had sensed how that universe was. It had very likely been destroyed and abandoned.

Su Ping was silent for a moment. He stepped out of his store and concealed his aura. He reversed time by a thousand years in space, but everything was the same. If not for the rapid changes in the flames, he would have thought that his attempt had been useless.

However, it was enough to prove that there were no Heavens around; the battle had long ended.

Everybody else saw Su Ping’s actions too, and were slightly relieved. Someone else noticed that the body didn’t change at all, even after a thousand years!

Undoubtedly, such a body was definitely a terrifying existence when it was still alive. They didn’t even dare to touch Heavenly Fire.

Su Ping too had noticed the body and his expression changed a bit. He had a dreadful guess. Was this the body… of an Ancestral God?

“Brother Su, are we going to stay any longer?” asked Chi Huo in a low voice as he looked around nervously, fearing that some of the Heavens would dart out of the darkness.

The other Celestials were also eager to leave that universe.

After fighting the Heavens’ race, they felt like rats meeting a cat. They were so scared that they even wanted to throw up; they only wanted to move elsewhere.

“Let’s explore first, since we’re already here,” said Su Ping after some consideration, “The body is proof that the Heavens were once here and a battle took place. What happened to our universe probably also happened here, albeit much earlier.”

“Isn’t it too risky?” said a Celestial who wanted to leave.

Su Ping slightly shook his head in silence. He thought that the Heavens would probably choose not to stay in the ruins; it was probably safer for them to stay there.

The next moment, Su Ping reached out toward the body.

As he felt the scorching heat, it was just like cultivating in the fiery pit underneath the Fire God Palace. The fire was equally powerful; if moved from the body, it was enough to form a region of flames.

It’s true that the Heavens don’t just include the basic forms of Heavenly Dao that are merely God Emperors… Su Ping’s eyes glittered. The body clearly used to belong to a powerful creature of the universe, and it died miserably, just like that. Its immortal bones were still being burnt.

Su Ping raised his hand and slowly attracted the body’s Heavenly Fire into his universe of chaos. He would turn it into a furnace inside his universe, so that it would carry infinite energy to his universe and polish it further. Heavenly Fire was lethal to most people, while it was a rare treasure when tamed.

Su Ping divided the space inside his universe into two parts while he absorbed it. The residents inside his universe were placed on one side, while his cultivation place was the other. The two parts were independent.

Even so, the temperature in his small universe was soaring. The small universe’s residents clearly felt how it was getting hotter.

Su Ping could only isolate them with barriers of the Great Dao, which required a constant energy output. However, he didn’t find it troublesome; rather, he considered it a great practice.
