Chapter 1118: Fleeing
There were other civilizations out in the vast space. They were not alone.
Wise cultivators have thought about traveling through space to find other locations for cultivation. Alas, ten thousand strongest cultivators entering space was akin to throwing a bucket of sand into the ocean.
The majority would never return due to being lost in space or dying in a black hole. This applied to saints as well.
They have also tried to connect portals to larger planets, hoping to turn them into suitable grounds for cultivation.
Humans have done so as well, going as far as creating sects and kingdoms. These planets were known as “life stars”.
However, these were mere outposts compared to the current main continent of the known universe. No one has been able to find a new civilization.
It turned out that a foreign civilization had visited this world during the end of Time Immemorial, nearly destroying everything.
Feiyun returned to his body inside the bone prison. His heart felt heavy after learning this news.
He stared at the chains, skeletons, ghosts, and bloody pools.
‘I cannot allow my loved ones to die before my eyes, I must do something.’ He took a deep breath.
Suddenly, he smell a sweet fragrance and looked over in that direction - a bamboo branch was poking a hole through the void.
A white hand came out of the spatial hole and destroyed the runes on the bone prison.
“Sister Lotus is busy devouring soul, I can take you all away from her now.” She communicated telepathically with him.
He broke the prison and stared back at the branch: “Wouldn’t you be in trouble? Come with us.”
“Don’t worry about me, Sister Lotus has changed because of love but she is still very kind to me.”
“Stop blabbering, free me before I’m roasted.” The turtle swung itself back and forth on the chain.
The bamboo branch slashed the chain and freed the turtle. She freed the dragon and fruit as well.
“Grandpa, come with us.” Feiyun walked closer to the old man.
“I’m not leaving.” He smiled and said.
“It wasn’t your fault, don’t blame yourself.” Feiyun persuaded.
“I have committed numerous mistakes in life, this is only one of them. It seems like I had killed my wife with a palm strike during my mental instability, I pierced my father’s heart too. I should have died long ago…”
“But it was because of your cultivation…” Feiyun sympathized with the old man.
The old man’s expression suddenly became serious: “You need to control your demonic blood as you walk on this unprecedented path, do not damn yourself.”
“Grandpa…”
“Leave.”
Feiyun understood that he wanted to punish himself via this method. Perhaps it might make the old man feel better. Once he thought this through, his cultivation would soar again.
“If we leave right now, we’ll be captured again right away.” The turtle glanced at the other trapped souls.
Feiyun smirked as well.

Eight altars resembled eight mountains surrounding Lord of Chaos. Ten million souls or so rotated around him before being absorbed.
He was first wounded by the King of the Market. Next was an attack from Grandpa Yu and the woman in blue. Nonetheless, due to the favorable terrain, he managed to stay alive.
“Some souls have escaped from the pagoda!” A five-tribulation ghost monarch kneeled below.
Lord of Chaos opened his eyes and scanned all of the first gate.
The souls from that pagoda were all experts when they were alive. Now, they had enough power to cause trouble.
“Her Excellency is cultivating right now, who let them out?” Lord of Chaos grew into a giant and appeared on top of the pagoda.
“Come back!” He took out a badge with started sucking souls back.
“Can’t suppress me with one badge!” A powerful ghost soul wasn’t afraid and fought back.
“Let’s go back to the mortal world!” A few more ghost souls rushed forward to fight Lord of Chaos.
Meanwhile, Feng Feiyun and the others quietly snuck out toward the gate.
“No, we can’t go this way. Lord of Chaos can detect us and get there right away.” Feiyun suddenly stopped.
“Yes, only the saintess can subdue him.” The dragon agreed.
Meanwhile, loud explosions came from the pagoda. All the souls were being subdued; some were obliterated.
“You will never escape given your weak cultivation.” Lord of Chaos’ voice echoed.
“There is another path.” The turtle said.
“What is it?” Feiyun asked.
“A hole in hell. Back in Time Immemorial, a big shot took something from hell and it still isn’t fixed.” The turtle said.
‘Is he talking about the Seal of Reincarnation?’ Feiyun thought about this secret.
“But we don’t know where the hole is.” He said.
“I do. I’ve actually gone through it before and barely managed to stay alive. I don’t want to go back but there is no other choice.” The turtle said.
“Really?” The dragon didn’t buy it.
“Remember, I was a big shot once.” The turtle picked the dragon up by the tail and smacked it to the ground twice.
The group immediately followed the turtle toward the hell hole.
