Chapter 553: Chapter 177: Upper Realm’s Source of Darkness! The True Great Terror!


    [Since you made the decision, you started heading to the Tao Pce with Ye Chen. Because you had anticipated the possibility of being hunted down in the years you spent in the Lower Realm, you have been studying the secret skill of concealing yourself.]


    [After years of research, you sessfully created a secret skill that even a God King Realm powerhouse could not easily detect your presence and disguise, while also being able to avoid search-rted secret skills.]


    [As Ye Chen’s master, he naturally learned the secret skill you created. Therefore, although the Green Spirit Divine Sect was searching for you everywhere, even using powerful magical and secret skills, they still could not find you.]


    [In the end, you spent all your savings and sessfully transferred to a location not far from Tao Pce through a major power’s transmission array.]


    [After arriving near the Dao Pce, you went through some twists and turns before sessfully reaching the Tao Pce and paying your respects. The Mountain-protecting Disciples of Tao Pce were quite surprised at your sudden arrival.]


    [However, they had no intention of driving you away and reported to the elders of the Tao Pce. In the end, the Tao Pce elders decided to meet you both.]


    [Next, without any hesitation, you showed your Sacred Body to them. This shocked the Tao Pce elders, who hadn’t expected you to possess such a constitution.]


    [Because of this, they reported once again, and you were sessfully received by the pce master of the Tao Pce. However, to your disappointment, the pce master sighed and said that he really wanted to let you join the Tao Pce, but he couldn’t do so.]


    [You were astonished and asked for the reason. The pce master told you explicitly that the Tao Pce had be somewhat deste, and the resources required to cultivate a Sacred Body were too huge, making it impossible to reach the Saint Realm in the future. With these resources, it was better to cultivate ordinary God King Realm geniuses at regr intervals to ensure that the Tao Pce wouldn’t continue to decline.]


    [Besides, if the rules of heaven and earth change again, the Sacred Body will not be a Saint. Even if their Same Realm Battle Power is far inferior to that of the Sacred Body, once they Enter the Saint Realm, they can easily p the Sacred Body to death. In other words, the cost-effectiveness of cultivating a Sacred Body is too low.]


    [After hearing these words, you felt heavy in your heart but weren’t surprised. However, you felt it was illogical not to focus on cultivating or even epting you just because of this.]<div>


    [Seeing your doubt, the pce master told you the truth after a moment of silence. As a constitution that is targeted by darkness, if you stayed in the Tao Pce, it could bring about destruction to the pce.]


    [You were astonished and couldn’t help but ask about the origin of the darkness and what it is. Was it some fallen powerhouses?]


    [The kindly pce master exined in detail. The origin of darkness is unknown even to the long-standing Tao Pce, and there are no records of it. It seems that darkness was born with the Big Universe, bing a symbol of terror and mystery.]


    [In areas shrouded by the Source of Darkness, the unknown creatures within it instilled fear in people. Even when observed from afar, people would be polluted and give birth to Heart Demons, even being tempted to embrace darkness.]


    [Therefore, the ce where the Source of Darkness is located is an absolute forbidden area, and cultivators must not approach it.]


    [In addition, the Source of Darkness is terrifying, not only giving birth to powerful monsters called ck Shadows, but also allowing cultivators who embrace darkness to gain power far exceeding their realm.]


    [Every once in a while, these monsters wreak havoc in the world, causing endless catastrophes for living beings. When such a Dark Disaster urs, if there is an Emperor in the world, they will fight a shocking battle against the darkness, suppressing it.]


    [But the Source of Darkness is too terrifying, and powerful ck Shadows can even rival Supremes and Quasi-Emperors. Add the existence of those powerhouses embracing darkness, even an Emperor fighting against the Dark Disaster would pay a heavy price and couldn’t solve the fundamental problem.]


    [The Burning Emperor was the one who suppressed the Dark Disaster a hundred thousand years ago. He wasn’t just an Emperor but also had a Red Fire Holy Body, reaching an incredibly powerful level.]


    [In his twilight years, the Dark Disaster broke out, and everyone was terrified. However, even in his old age, the Burning Emperor was still extremely formidable.]


    [The Burning Emperor, even in his old age, still managed to suppress the Dark Disaster. In the end, he forcefully entered the Source of Darkness, trying to suppress itpletely in his final moments and bring peace to the world.]


    [In the end, the Burning Emperor disappeared, and both the Chi n and the Sacred Body lineage were cursed by the mysterious forces from the Source of Darkness. The rules of heaven and earth changed, and the Red Fire Holy Body was no longer suitable for cultivation, making it difficult for them to Enter the Saint Realm.]


    [Now in the Last Dharma Age, it goes without saying that the path of the Red Fire Holy Body has long been severed.]


    [As a result, some powers may choose to cultivate other Sacred Bodies, but they would never choose to cultivate Red Fire Holy Body or dare to ept it. Because the path of the Red Fire Holy Body has been severed and cursed with something unknown from the Source of Darkness, many powers believe that the Red Fire Holy Body easily brings disasters.]


    [Over the years, the cultivation limit of the Chi n has continued to decline, and from time to time, they have encountered unknown forces, affecting other people and powers, causing widespread fear.]
