Chapter 1483: Pale White World, God Demon Corpse

“The Ghost Dragon Boat is weakening.” The dark green flames of the Ghost Dragon Boat were growing dimmer as they sailed forward. It had caught onto a tinge of white as well.

Ye Qing felt this clearer than anyone else as he was bonded to the Ghost Dragon Boat. He could feel that its power was dying at an extraordinary rate.

“It’s the same for us. Be careful, everyone,” Danxia Zi warned with a severe expression.

As he said, they were weakening just like the Ghost Dragon Boat. Their body was being dyed white, their vigor and vitality were dying, and their force and spirit were dissipating at gradual rate.

Despite their power, they could not resist being assimilated into this paleness.

They were dying in both body and mind.

They did not doubt for a second that they would become as pale, empty, and dead as this space if they kept this up.

Of course, the assimilation rate hadn’t exceeded their expectation yet. It was why they dared to continue their exploration.

“Did you find anything, Joyless?” Old Man Profound Firmament could not help but ask when he saw the young man rubbing his chest repeatedly and wearing a strange expression. He also hadn’t said anything for a very long time.

“No, nothing.”

Ye Qing dropped his arm and changed the subject. “Let’s continue. We may discover something up ahead.”

“Sure. It’s not like there’s anywhere else we can go.” No one suspected his words.

Ye Qing turned away from the group and moved the Ghost Dragon Boat forward.

Dark green flames flickered in his eyes where no one was looking.

“What is that?” They traveled forward dozens of kilometers before they arrived at a black hole.

The black hole was vast and deep. It was suspended high up in the air like a black sun. It looked unbelievably conspicuous in this pale white world.

They weren’t anywhere close to the black hole, but they could still feel the remnants of an unbelievable power from it.

It was as if something terrible once existed in the black hole. It was simply gone now.

The black hole was small relative to the white world around them, but everyone subconsciously felt that the black hole was

the

center of this pale white world.

More accurately, whatever used to exist where the black hole was was the center of this pale white world.

Curiously, there were five impossibly deep crevices surrounding the black hole. They were embedded in the pale white world and giving off faint golden light. They were also spreading into the depths of the black hole.

The golden light was weak, but it was overflowing with infinite power.

Unlike the leftover power in the black hole, which was heretical, brutal, and chaotic, the leftover power of the golden light was upright, imposing, and grand.

The two powers were clearly opposed to each other. Although they had become masterless since heavens-know-when, they were still interweaving and clashing against each other and causing endless ripples of chaos and destruction.

“It’s the power of a god demon. That’s right! It has to be the power of a god demon!” Old Man Profound Firmament suddenly cried out.

Both the leftover power inside the black hole and the golden light belonged to a god demon.

“So, we’re currently inside the corpse of a god demon?!” Danxia Zi and Feng Qingyou examined the black hole and the crevices around it with a thoughtful expression.

“Is it just me, or does the five crevices look like they were carved out by someone’s fingers?”

A short while later, Feng Qingyou suddenly made an astonishing remark.

𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

At first, both Danxia Zi and Old Man Profound Firmament thought that she perhaps possessed an overactive imagination. But the longer they looked at it, the more astonishment crept into their eyes.

It was because they found themselves agreeing with Feng Qingyou’s assessment. It really did look like a person’s fingers. It looked like someone had dug into the pale white flesh, ripped open the black hole, and took something from within.

“Now that you mention it... I think you’re right!” Old Man Profound Firmament stroked his beard with glinting eyes.

“I agree.” Danxia Zi said solemnly, “If the crevices really were created by a person’s fingers, then it could only mean that this god demon was killed by another god demon. Am I right?” Old Man Profound Firmament nodded in agreement. “It’s highly likely. No, it’s the only possibility.” The only one who could kill a god demon was another god demon.

“Say, what do you think was inside that black hole originally?” “The heart,” Ye Qing replied without hesitation.

“The heart? Why do you say that?” Old Man Profound Firmament looked at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing explained, “According to Qingyou’s theory earlier, this should be where the heart is.”

“If there was something in the black hole, then it could only be the god demon’s heart.”

“Besides, the golden light does not exist anywhere else except in this area. From this, we can deduce that the god demon had been killed in one strike.” “Looking at how massive this god demon is, he must be a sovereign of the flesh and a god demon who primarily cultivated his body. The five viscera and six bowels are the primary parts of a body, and the heart is the most important of them all; the center that sustains it all. To lose the heart is like the day losing the sun, the night losing the moon, and the grass losing its roots.” “The only possible way for this god demon to be killed in one strike is if he lost his heart.”

He phrased it like a guess, but it wasn’t. He had witnessed it with his own eyes.

Yep. His own eyes.

It was because this god demon corpse was the owner of the god demon heart he had found at the bottom of the ocean. In other words, it was the two-horned god demon.

Right now, the god demon heart in his chest was beating rapidly, causing unceasing echoes within his internal space. At the same time, he was feeling a choking sorrow that did not belong to him.

The black hole did not intimidate him like the others. On the contrary, it felt familiar and affectionate. He even felt a strong desire to step inside.

From time to time, he would hear a voice that only he could hear calling out to him.

Most importantly, the remnant powers in the five crevices was exactly the same as the remnant aura in the hole of the god demon heart.

Therefore, this god demon corpse could only belong to the two-horned god demon, and the black hole was where its heart used to be. After the golden-armored god had pierced his chest and ripped out his heart, he had left behind a wound that refused to recover even countless millennia later.

In fact, he suspected that this god demon corpse and his god demon heart were connected from the moment he came inside. The demonic fire and the strange calling alone were quite telling. Now, he knew with absolute certainty that he was right.

It wasn’t like there were no incongruity. In his memories, the two-horned god demon had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and his heart had been tossed into a lake after he was killed. However, both the heart and the corpse were submerged in the ocean today.

This was easily explainable though. Time. Time changed everything. Given enough time, mountains could collapse, oceans could dry, and even the sun could die. Knowing that, it seemed only natural that a bottomless abyss would transform into an ocean countless millennia later.
