The two women were completely confused.

"What...what is this saying? Is it a human dialect?"

Liu Chen seemed to understand, and replied with a long string of words in return.

This is an ancient language, the language used by cultivators tens of thousands of years ago.

Over countless years, it has long been lost in the river of history.

Fortunately, Liu Chen used a demonic energy shield to imprison the dark light in his palm, preventing it from trying to escape again.

"Who are you? What level of cultivation were you originally?"

Wu Guang's tone was obscure, yet it revealed an unspeakable arrogance.

"I, the Celestial Profound Master, was a renowned immortal cultivator twenty thousand years ago, a supreme being in the Void Refining stage."

Although many heroes vied for power in that era, those at the Refinement stage were also powerful rulers.

"If it weren't for my own cultivation level, which is not at its peak in the past."

"A junior like you can be wiped out with a wave of my hand."

Back in the day, even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't have been qualified to carry his shoes.

Regarding Wu Guang's self-praise.

Liu Chen didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he shot out a small sword of demonic energy, cutting off a small portion of the dark light.

Wu Guang screamed in agony, cursing venomously.

"What do you think you're doing, young upstart?"

Liu Chen smiled, but his words sent chills down one's spine.

"What do I want to do? Since you've lost your former cultivation, then you should answer whatever I ask and give me a proper, honest reply."

If you don't cooperate, I don't mind using soul-searching magic to obtain your memories.

Wu Guang said, filled with fear and trepidation.

"Could it be that you really don't want my mantle to be passed down?"

Liu Chen chuckled, and the demonic energy shield contracted once more.

"I have no interest in this so-called bullshit tradition!"

What exactly happened during those ten thousand years? Why have all the cultivators vanished from the world?

Wu Guang was quite angry at his words.

He hated it!

If Liu Chen had come sooner, the loss of his soul power wouldn't have been too severe.

Even if only a remnant soul remains, it will still be capable of fighting.

Unfortunately, even heroes grow old, and with the passage of time, their soul power is less than one-thousandth of what it was at its peak.

He was now like a fish on a chopping board, unable to use any of his tricks.

"I don't know. I'm just a remnant soul. How would I know what's happening outside?"

Seeing that Liu Chen was about to increase his strength, Wu Guang hurriedly added.

"I really don't know, but I set up a formation here after I died."

I spread the word that there was a treasure left behind, hoping to lure other cultivators to come so I could seize their bodies. But over the years, no one has found my cave.

As for what's happening outside, I really don't know. I vaguely sense that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is weakening.

In the past few thousand years, cultivators passing by my cave would occasionally see a few Nascent Soul cultivators.

For nearly a thousand years, all that has been seen are minor cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages. In the last five hundred years, not a single cultivator has been seen at all.

That was all the information he knew; if asked anything else, he genuinely didn't know.

After hearing his words, Liu Chen looked thoughtful.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is weakening; that's quite interesting."

This was the fact that best matched his guess, but it was also the first option he ruled out.

If cultivators truly exist in this world.

That joke really went too far.

Who's behind this apocalypse? It couldn't be one of our own people!

Master Tianxuan had no idea what he was thinking.

Seeing him frowning in thought, she didn't rush to give birth and cause him harm.

How many storms has he weathered over the years?

He has escaped death countless times, and even in situations where there is no chance of survival, he has always managed to find a way out.

The reason she was so panicked and incoherent earlier was because she was genuinely frightened by Liu Chen.

It is not the fear that arises from being on the verge of death.

It was the aura emanating from Liu Chen that was striking.

It was a demonic aura that he was very familiar with, a murderous aura that seemed to slaughter everyone in the world.

Master Tianxuan had only seen a similar level of cruelty and tyranny in one person before.

That person was a powerful figure in the ancient demonic path, the Heavenly Demon.

He succumbed to demonic possession with his physical body, and sacrificed the common people.

Bai Ya looked at him curiously.

"Is this what a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage is like?"

For her, this was a legendary realm.

She is currently only at the Golden Core stage. The Nascent Soul stage is a major barrier, and the Transformation of Deity and the Divine Transformation stage are even more difficult!

Only then did Master Tianxuan notice Bai Ya, who looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"You...you are a vengeful spirit?"

In this era, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage has actually appeared.

That was enough to leave him speechless with astonishment.

There's even a vengeful spirit at the Golden Core stage! How did these guys cultivate?

Master Tianxuan sensed that Liu Chen's killing intent towards him was gradually waning.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became more relaxed.

"It seems you have exceptional talent. I myself underwent a thousand years of arduous cultivation before becoming a powerful Void Refinement expert who dominated a region."

Recalling the era of vying for supremacy in the Central Plains, I am filled with countless emotions.

However, time has changed everything, and in the blink of an eye, 100,000 years have passed. He is no longer the same person he once was.

When Bai Ya heard his words and saw his proud expression, she was surprised.

He scratched his head, his expression complicated.

"Um, did you cultivate for a thousand years before advancing to the Void Refinement stage?"

Master Tianxuan sighed, his brows furrowed with worry.

"Yes, even in that era of many heroes and abundant spiritual energy."
