Chapter 646: The End of the Jiang Clan, Dark Force
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
While waiting, Jiang Changsheng was thinking of a strategy to transcend the tribulation.
The power of this heavenly tribulation was mysterious and unfathomable. It was no longer just resisting the lightning tribulation like before. There were still many invisible forces that were ready to bite him to death at any time.
With a thought, Jiang Changsheng decided to summon the Pangu clones on the All Heavens Great Dao Tree.
For more than a million years, he had been in seclusion, so he did not refine those Pangu Fruits into Pangu clones. However, there were already more than 200 Pangu clones on the All Heavens Great Dao Tree. The one that had been born for the shortest amount of time had also cultivated for more than a million years and had reached the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor.
This was the highest realm that the Pangu clones could reach. Without a single will, they could not step into the Zenith Heaven Realm. Even so, when they gathered together, the phantom they could summon was extremely terrifying.
On the other side.
Far above the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, the All Heavens Great Dao Tree began to tremble. Powerful figures jumped out from the leaves and rose into the sky like a rain of arrows before quickly disappearing into the depths of the void.
Under the All Heavens Great Dao Tree, Wu Xuhou appeared from the Forgotten Well. It tilted its head and looked suspiciously in the direction where the Pangu clones had left.
The tribulation continued. Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and did not look around. His Dao heart was very stable and there were no longer any fluctuations. He did not think about whether he would fail. He faced the tribulation with absolute calmness.
His Heavenly Dao incense points decreased faster and faster, indicating that the power of the lightning tribulation was still increasing.
Time continued to pass quickly.
When there was less than a quarter of his Heavenly Dao incense points left, the might of the lightning tribulation still had not weakened.
Jiang Changsheng realized that he could not rely on just his incense points to transcend the tribulation. Fortunately, he had summoned all his Pangu clones.
“No matter who is manipulating the heavenly tribulation, no matter how strong it is, there is a limit. At most, it exceeds my strength by one realm. Otherwise, I would have died long ago…”
Jiang Changsheng thought silently. He could sense that the Pangu clone had arrived.
In that case, let him have a good fight with the heavenly tribulation!
At that moment, Jiang Changsheng suddenly felt as if the world was spinning.
“What’s going on… Why did it come so quickly…”
Jiang Changsheng was shocked. In the past, when he transcended the tribulation, he had this feeling after he passed the most difficult stage.
Why was it brought forward this time?
Before he could think further, his senses lost their effect and his consciousness fell into chaos.
His clone stood beside the Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin. At the end of the void in all directions, the Pangu clones were also rushing over.
After an unknown period of time, Jiang Changsheng suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and what greeted his eyes was a desolate mountain range. He was standing on a cliff.
The world was vast, and the cold wind was bleak.
Jiang Changsheng turned around. His consciousness was fusing with his current physical body, but he could not use his spiritual will to observe it.
But soon, he was attracted by the scenery of the mountain below the cliff.
There were so many withered graves!
At a glance, it was all over the mountain and covered thousands of miles. Coupled with the cold wind between heaven and earth, the world in front of them was so desolate.
Jiang Changsheng’s gaze turned sharp when he saw the names on the tombstones.
Jiang Kun, Jiang Zijie, Jiang Wu, Jiang Zhen, Jiang Jue, Jiang Buku, Jiang Long, Jiang Xun, Jiang Che, Jiang Tianyi, Jiang Han, Jiang Lu…
All of them had the surname Jiang!
Jiang Xun…
Jiang Changsheng looked at the tomb of the future junior he was looking forward to and felt very upset.
Evidently, this timeline was not in the ancient Immortal Dao, but in the future.
The first time she met Jiang Xun, he was chased by the imperial branch.
When he met Jiang Xun for the second time, he was still struggling alone.
Now, for the third time, he saw his tombstone.
In reality, Jiang Xun had yet to be born, but this feeling that transcended time and space was real.
Jiang Changsheng looked at a mountain peak further away, on which stood a huge tombstone.
The tomb of the Heaven Emperor, Jiang Lu.
This meant that all the members of the Jiang Clan had died here, including the imperial branch!
There were at least tens of millions of tombstones in his eyes…
What had the Jiang Clan experienced?
Jiang Changsheng suddenly thought of the prophecy of the Jin Chanzi of the Buddhist Sect. He prophesied that one day, when the Jiang Clan faced a calamity in the future, they would have no choice but to sacrifice their entire clan. Could it be what he was seeing now?
Then why did his consciousness transmigrate to this moment?
Jiang Changsheng leaped down and came to a tombstone. He walked forward and passed by many tombstones of the Jiang Clan. He noticed that there was a stone in front of every tombstone. Each stone was formed by an Eye of the Great Dao.
After the Eye of the Great Dao overdrafted its strength, it turned into stone, which further confirmed Jiang Changsheng’s guess.
He could not help but wonder what he was doing in the future. Why would he sit back and watch the Jiang Clan be exterminated?
Even if he wanted the Jiang Clan to rely on themselves, he could not let all his descendants die tragically.
Every time he walked past a tombstone, he could see the vivid descendants of the Jiang Clan through their names. This made his heart even heavier.
Several hours later.
Jiang Changsheng stopped. There were also countless tombstones of the Jiang Clan on the hill in front of him. There was a middle-aged man in tattered cotton clothes digging a hole in an empty land. His hair was disheveled and his aura was weak. Every time he waved his hoe, his body would tremble, as if he would collapse at any time.
“What are you doing?”
Jiang Changsheng asked. He was expressionless and did not reveal his emotions.
That person did not seem to have heard him as he continued to concentrate on his task.
Jiang Changsheng had no choice but to ask again. This time, the other party heard him. His arms stiffened and he turned around while trembling.
The middle-aged man’s face was like a malicious ghost, and his eyes were bloodshot. His eyes looked at Jiang Changsheng through the gaps in his long hair.
“You… why are you here…”
The middle-aged man’s voice was intermittent and weak.
He was about to run out of energy. He did not have any magic power and was inferior to mortals. He was hanging on by his last breath.
Jiang Changsheng said, “You’re here for the Jiang Clan. What are you doing?”
He had already asked for the third time, and his tone carried a trace of coldness.
The middle-aged man revealed a hideous smile and said, “I’m digging my own grave… Can you still… not see…”
With that said, he retracted his gaze, turned around, and continued to swing the hoe.
Jiang Changsheng continued to ask, “How many people are left in the Jiang Clan?”
“There will be no one left soon…”
The middle-aged man said without turning back.
Jiang Changsheng watched him dig his grave and did not interfere.
“His soul is depleted, his blood qi is used up… I am powerless to reverse his state… What exactly happened to him?”
Jiang Changsheng frowned. Since the other party was also a member of the Jiang Clan, it meant that the calamity had not passed for a long time.
He could not help the middle-aged man and could only sit back and watch him continue.
An hour later, the middle-aged man shakily laid down in the pit he had dug. The moment he laid down, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It was this breath that completely relaxed his body and cut off his last trace of life.
Jiang Changsheng walked to the edge of the pit and waved his sleeve to cover his corpse with soil. At the same time, he helped him erect a stone tablet.
The moment he saw the other party, he knew his name. This was the premonition of his bloodline in the Karma Dao.
His name was Jiang Qi, an ordinary name.
Jiang Changsheng could sense that the karma of his life was extremely complicated. His fate was full of misfortune and he had suffered countless hardships. Before he died, he did not resent it. Instead, he felt relieved.
After helping Jiang Qi set up the tombstone, Jiang Changsheng looked up.
“Something’s wrong with this world. It’s isolated from the void… Is this a cage?”
Jiang Changsheng frowned. He did not jump out of this world rashly.
Under his gaze, a person fell from the sky. That person was wearing broken black armor with blood stains on it.
The moment Jiang Changsheng moved his eyes, that person floated towards him and landed in front of his feet.
The black-armored man looked very young, and he still had the Eye of the Great Dao open. However, his Eye of the Great Dao had turned into a bloody eye without any pupils. His entire body was in a terrible state. He could die at any time.
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and patted him from afar to treat him.
Every time his will transmigrated, it was obvious that he had possessed someone else. Even though this body was inferior to his original body, it also had the cultivation of a Zenith Heaven Immortal. It was not difficult to save the black-armored man.
The black-armored man’s soul was not fatally damaged. He was just extremely drained.
After a while.
The black-armored man slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Jiang Changsheng, he immediately jumped up and flashed 100 feet away with a fighting posture.
Jiang Changsheng directly revealed his Eye of the Great Dao. The black-armored man widened his eyes and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before?” The black-armored man frowned and asked.
Jiang Changsheng answered, “Just a nameless junior of the Jiang Clan. I have been in seclusion for some reason and was moved here. Can you tell me where this is and why there are so many tombs of the Jiang Clan?”
He could not deduce what had happened. There was a karmic force that was higher than his current strength that was covering up all his deductions.
The black-armored man frowned and snorted. “Then you’ve been in seclusion for long enough. Forget it. There are countless disciples of the Jiang Clan and it’s not impossible for an ascetic like you to exist. Moreover, your eye can’t be faked. In that case, I’ll tell you.”
“This is the former land of the imperial branch of the Jiang Clan. With the help of the mighty figures of the Jiang Clan, it has become a place of life to resist the Dark Force. However, the Dark Force has surrounded this land. I am one of the few remaining members of the Jiang Clan. I wanted to fight to the death, but I did not expect you to save me… It seems like you have surpassed the Immortal Emperor Realm.”
When he mentioned Jiang Changsheng’s cultivation, the black-armored man revealed a mocking expression.
Jiang Changsheng asked, “What is the Dark Force?”
When the black-armored man heard that, his expression became unnatural. “No one knows where the Dark Force came from. The Dark Force was born in the boundless world. After corroding the boundless world, it began to corrode the countless Great Dao Void below. In order to protect the Taiyi Immortal Realm, countless members of the Jiang Clan sacrificed themselves to condense their ancestral eyes to protect this world. However, the corrosion of the Dark Force far exceeds our imagination. Even if we stay here, our magic power will continuously dissipate.”
Speaking of this, his eyes could not help but reveal despair.
“When I was born, it was already a dark and chaotic era. How could you not know this? How long have you been in seclusion? Which generation are you from?”
