The Prodigies War

Chapter 1665: Remains of a Cemetery

The majestic Omega Door slowly opened as the mysterious woman gazed at it in shock.

A loud roar resounded in the mostly empty secret realm.

An unknown mystery that had been sealed for eons was gently being opened. As the sound echoed in their ears, the mysterious woman's previously calm state of mind began to stir.

It was really opening!

A dazzling light poured out from the door, illuminating the entire secret realm, and a sacred and solemn aura began to spread out.

The mysterious woman was dumbfounded.

She had been waiting for a long time and had seen many dao seekers who had failed and subsequently left. However, she had never thought that Lin Xun would succeed!

In fact, just now, she had believed that Lin Xun had failed in pushing the door open too, so she began comforting him...

But who would have thought that Lin Xun would give her a big surprise instead?

At this moment, Lin Xun and the mysterious woman held their breath as a rare sense of anticipation and excitement surfaced in their hearts.

The sacred light flowed out like a dense mist, and the vast expanse of white made it seem like an immortal land from the legends.

"Let's go in and take a look."

The mysterious woman was obviously more excited than Lin Xun. After all, she had been waiting for endless years. As the "gatekeeper," how could she not be eager to find out the secrets behind this door?

Swish!

Lin Xun discovered he was no longer in control of his body and instead he was led by the mysterious woman into the bright white world inside the door...

"This is Primal Chaos Immortal Mist, which contains the supreme power of law and order. Only the true Emperor-level experts have the power to refine it. It has a wonderful supplementary effect on an Emperor's cultivation.

"Your cultivation level is too low now. It's best not to try to pick up any Primal Chaos Immortal Mist."

While drifting through the white mist, the mysterious woman explained things casually. She was obviously in a good mood.

Primal Chaos Immortal Mist!

Lin Xun engraved that name into his memory.

"Eh?!"

After a brief moment, the mysterious woman stopped and stood still with a look of surprise on her face.

At this time, Lin Xun finally saw an ancient cemetery within the mist not far away.

Tombs dotted the entire place. At a glance, there were no fewer than a thousand of them, making it look extremely vast.

"This……"

Lin Xun couldn't help but be surprised. Inside the Omega Door was an ancient cemetery?

Who dared to believe it?

Even the mysterious woman couldn't help but remain silent at this moment.

A cemetery!

Thousands of tombs!

Who was buried in each grave?

And who was qualified to be buried within the Omega Door?

The mysterious woman strolled over, entered the cemetery, and came to a tomb.

Lin Xun also followed. For a moment, all the hairs on his body stood up. Looking around, it was as if he were walking into a mass grave. Every tomb was emitting an invisible wave of terror.

It felt as if there were ancient gods buried here!

"Look."

The woman pointed to one. There was a stone table. On it lay a shriveled, dried up finger.

Even after countless years, the finger was still as white as the finest mutton-fat jade. It was slender while being tough at the same time. The texture on the skin resembled natural runes, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

When Lin Xun looked over, he couldn't help but gasp. Just a single finger was actually giving off a terrifying psychological pressure.

It was as if he was seeing a god in real life!

At this moment, a voice with a heroic aura sounded, "1,600 years after the establishment of the Marital Dao[1], I faced off against the True Emptiness Great Emperor at Huntian Range.

"True Emptiness is the first Emperor in the world to create the True Emptiness Grand Dao. He is the ancestor of a lineage. He is stunningly brilliant and one of the best in the world.

"It's a pity that he was defeated by three strikes from me. I leave his finger here just to mourn his True Emptiness Grand Dao.”

The voice disappeared, and the mysterious woman and Lin Xun both looked stricken with surprise.

Who was the owner of that heroic voice? And why did it appear so suddenly?

The most incredible thing was that even the mysterious woman, who was incredibly powerful, was unable to pinpoint the source of the voice!

Lin Xun thought for a bit and said, "This should be the voice of the Omega Lord. It is probably something that was branded here. When our senses touch this finger, the voice will activate."

The mysterious woman nodded, stared at the finger, and said, "This was an Emperor who created a grand dao. Thus, his foundation must have been terrifying enough to overlook the heavens, and he would have likely been called 'Dao Ancestor' by his disciples and grand disciples, yet he failed to block three moves from the Omega Lord. Even one of his fingers was cut off..."

There was solemnity and astonishment in her voice.

Based on this speculation, how terrifying was the combat power of the Omega Lord?

While thinking about it, the mysterious woman came to another nearby tomb, where there was also a stone table present. An ancient broken glass lamp was on it.

When Lin Xun came over and took a look, his primordial spirit throbbed, as if it was about to come out of him in the next moment and be sucked into the badly damaged glass lamp.

Buzz!

The mysterious woman patted his shoulder lightly, and the terrifying suction power disappeared. Lin Xun couldn't help but be horrified.

What kind of treasure was this?

"3,400 years after the establishment of the Martial Dao, the world was flourishing. The Liuli Heavenly Palace was at its peak. The master of the palace encountered great fortune and was titled Heavenly Lord Liuli. He was in possession of an Emperor level treasure, the Three Thousand Lanterns of the Phantom Sky."

That bold and uninhibited voice echoed again.

"I made an appointment with Heavenly Lord Liuli to fight at the Fufeng Sea. We fought fiercely for three days. Heavenly Lord Liuli finally realized he was not my match and sadly gave up. I kept his treasure, the Three Thousand Lanterns of the Phantom Sky, as a souvenir."

Lin Xun and the mysterious woman felt another wave of fluctuation in their hearts and found it hard to calm down.

Undoubtedly, the badly damaged glazed lamp on the stone table in front of the tomb was the Three Thousand Lanterns of the Phantom Sky, which was an Emperor level treasure.

"How strong was the Omega Lord?"

Lin Xun clicked his tongue.

He tried to pick up the badly damaged glass lamp to inspect it, but he was stopped by the mysterious woman, "This is just an illusion. The real treasure should be buried here."

After a pause, she continued, "Looking at the layout of this cemetery, it's best not to act rashly."

Lin Xun was awe-struck and nodded in assent.

Soon, the mysterious woman led Lin Xun to a third tomb.

On the stone table, there was a bloody picture scroll. On it were seven bloody and dazzling ancient characters that said: Taking the road to death without regrets.

As expected, that heroic voice sounded again.

"Throughout my cultivation so far, the most stunningly talented person I have ever seen is undoubtedly Liu Daozi!

"This person began their cultivation journey through painting and became a Saint through their art. In just three hundred years, they stepped into the realm of a Great Emperor and were regarded as the Emperor of Miraculous Painting by the world. I couldn't help but feel incredibly excited to compare notes with them.

"It's a pity that although Liu Daozi's paintings are wonderful, they still can't beat me. After being defeated, Liu Daozi used their own Emperor's blood as ink and their finger as a pen to write a scroll. They gave it to me, and I have kept it to this day."

Lin Xun and the mysterious woman looked at each other and fell silent.

They continued onwards.

In front of each tomb was a stone table, and there were items left on the stone table, including broken swords, damaged armor, blood-stained horns, white bones, and mysterious branches...

It was a dazzling array of things.

At the same time, the heroic voice continued to sound.

"Above the starry sky and in the heavens, I fought against the Beixuan Sword Emperor. Unfortunately, he was not as good as me, so I will leave his broken sword here as a memory.

"7,400 years after the establishment of the Martial Dao, I searched all over the heavens, traveled around the starry sky, and entered the land of Guixu. I met a hidden Emperor. I sparred with them for three hundred years to determine the winner. How wonderful it was!

"Everyone knows that there are Buddhist masters living in seclusion in Zuikong Mountain. I went to visit..."

"19,000 years after the establishment of the dao..."

…

Each item had an origin that could shock the heavens, and their owners were all important figures.

But in the end, they were all defeated by the Omega Lord!

These revelations made the mysterious woman become even more silent, and unease bubbled inside of her.

As for Lin Xun, he was already shocked to the point of numbness both physically and mentally!

From what Lin Xun had known, the Omega Lord who had broken through the galaxis door was undoubtedly very strong, but he had never expected that the Omega Lord would be this powerful.

For endless years, he had searched the heavens and traveled all over the universe, hoping to be defeated!

How invincible must he be to dare to walk around the universe like this?

When they arrived at the last tomb, Lin Xun and the mysterious woman were stunned.

The stone table in front of the tomb was empty.

Moreover, that heroic voice did not sound again.

This was unusual.

Why was there only an empty stone table left here?

"There are a total of 1,009 tombs here, and 1,008 of them represent opponents who were defeated by the Omega Lord.

"Even the weakest among them has the strength of the Emperor Stage. Perhaps it’s because people below the Emperor Stage are not even considered worthy opponents by the Omega Lord."

The mysterious woman was silent for a moment, and then continued, "Moreover, the strength of the opponents defeated by the Omega Lord have only become more and more terrifying the further back we go, but... They were all defeated in the end. From this we can tell that the Omega Lord back then was incredibly strong.”

After finishing that sentence, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Her memory was incomplete and badly damaged, so she was like a lonely ghost, but her vision and judgment had not disappeared.

Therefore, it was very clear to her how dazzling the Omega Lord’s achievements were. It was enough to shock the ages and the universe!

However, how could such a legendary and heavenly figure, who should have been famous throughout the ages and respected by generations of future generations, not be remembered in history?

A long time ago, the mysterious woman had walked around the Ancient Wasteland Domain, traveled around the world, and met many incredible and peerless people.

But she had never heard of the deeds of the Omega Lord!

This certainly seemed unimaginable.

Moreover, among the people represented by the 1,008 graves in this cemetery, the mysterious woman wasn’t familiar with any of them!

"After the establishment of the Martial Dao... After the establishment of the Martial Dao... Why does that sound vaguely familiar to me, yet I can't remember it at all?"

The mysterious woman muttered to herself. She was sure that the people of the Ancient Wasteland Domain had never used "after the establishment of the Martial Dao" to record time.

Obviously, everything that the Omega Lord had experienced probably did not happen in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and it most likely had nothing to do with the Ancient Nebula Road either!

Lin Xun, who was standing next to her, had a thought strike him, "Could it be that this Omega Lord comes from the other side of the cosmos?"

As far as he knew, the Omega Secret-Realm was originally brought from the other side of the cosmos by his mother Luo Qingxun and Mister Lu!

1. No real context given here on whether this is considered before the primeval era or how it should be named, so I just tried to make it sound nice. May have to change in the future once we get more information ?
