Chapter 689: Beware the World‑Ending Sequence

After Ye Wuque investigated this Great Tomb, he discovered that deep within the Great Tomb there still existed a Divine Sense.

The Divine Sense was weak and ancient, like a dying candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Yet the will it contained was astonishingly powerful— it was the presence that once stood at the pinnacle of Zhutian Wanjie, and even with only the last strand of Divine Sense remaining, it still radiated an unblemishable majesty.

Ye Wuque stepped into the deep of the Great Tomb, arriving at the place where the Divine Sense resided.

There, there was a massive burial chamber.

In the center of the chamber stood a gigantic skeleton, seated in lotus.

The skeleton was entirely crystal‑clear like jade, emitting a faint glow.

Even after countless years of death, the skeleton still retained a terrifying, world‑overwhelming pressure!

As if it could overlook Zhutian Wanjie and crush the Wan Gu Lun Hui!

Beside the skeleton, a phantom Dark Shadow flickered, half‑visible.

The figure was a middle‑aged man, with a resolute face and extraordinary bearing.

He wore an ancient Dao robe, held a broken long sword, and sat cross‑legged within the Void.

He was the embodiment of that last strand of Divine Sense.

He seemed to sense Ye Wuque's arrival and slowly opened his eyes.

In those eyes were weariness, resentment, fear, and also relief.

His voice rose slowly, hoarse and ancient, as if it came from before the ages:

"Think of me, Primordial Celestial Venerable… I once dazzled with unparalleled talent, shaking Zhutian Huanyu…"

"In the Primordial Great Universe I rose against Heaven, broke through the heavens, cultivated all the way to… the Supreme Great Perfection Realm, proud and arrogant, stepping into the Deep of No Return Path…"

"But who could have imagined… in that place… Supreme Boundless Great Perfection… could not even stir any waves…"

His voice began to tremble, and within the tremor was extreme resentment and terror:

"Only to be completely engulfed by the endless Darkness…"

"I am unwilling…"

The sound echoed through the Great Tomb, lingering for a long time.

Ye Wuque heard those words, and his spirit also became chilled!

He could feel the transcendence and brilliance of this Great Tomb, and also perceive the mysterious being's transformative power.

The lingering pressure on the skeleton, the Dao Rhythm embedded in the runes, the sharpness left on the broken sword—all displayed how powerful he had been in life.

And the meaning in his words revealed that—he had been, in life, a SupremeUltimateGreatPerfectionRank supreme being!

Supreme Boundless Great Perfection!

Such a supreme being, in any Great Thousand-level Universe, is a truly epoch‑shaking, dazzling overlord!

Placed within Zhutian Wanjie, it is also a presence that can overlook all beings!

But in the true Deep of No Return Path—

it cannot even stir any waves?

The resentment and terror in this being's tone are genuine, not feigned.

What terrifying ordeal did he actually experience in the Deep of No Return Path?

Ye Wuque could not help but be curious, and also gained a more preliminary understanding of the Great Terror in the Deep of No Return Path.

Even Supreme Boundless Great Perfection dies the moment it is spoken of.

This Great Terror truly is unimaginable!

Ye Wuque could not help but deepen his inner awe and dread of the true Deep of No Return Path.

…

At this moment, the last strand of Divine Sense of the Primordial Celestial Venerable seemed to notice Ye Wuque's arrival.

His phantom figure gently turned, facing Ye Wuque.

His voice sounded again, with a hint of indifference and a hint of sentiment:

"Oh? A living being has arrived?"

"It seems the Ultimate Campaign of this Epoch has flared up again…"

He paused, and his voice was full of helplessness and sorrow:

"Alas, it is destined to be another endless despair…"

However—

Upon seeing Ye Wuque clearly, he was slightly surprised.

An expression of disbelief flickered on his phantom face.

"Huh?"

He let out a light 'huh', his voice full of astonishment:

"It turns out to be a young man..."

He examined Ye Wuque carefully, his gaze solid as if to see through him.

And then—

His expression changed dramatically!

"No…"

His voice trembled:

"This child... this child's bones are only a few hundred years old..."

"How... how is this possible?!"

He sprang to his feet, the phantom figure violently rippling, evidently shaken to the extreme.

"Only a few hundred years old and already qualified to come here… That's impossible!"

And moreover—

What shocked the Primordial Unity Heavenly Venerable the most was that he could not discern the young man's exact strength at all!

His Divine Sense, though reduced to a mere thread, was still a remnant of the Supreme Boundless Great Perfection.

Logically, any creature beneath the Heavenly Dao Supreme should have no place to hide before him.

Yet the young man before him—

was like a wisp of mist, indistinct and vague.

It seemed his power had already surpassed the limits of his own perception!

He, the Primordial Unity Heavenly Venerable, had lived countless ages, priding himself on vast experience—what monstrous genius hadn't he seen?

But the young man before him—

was the first time he encountered something so bizarre.

Even after living endless years, it was still his first encounter.

Nevertheless, being an ancient great being, he calmed down after a moment.

He stared at Ye Wuque, his illusory eyes filled with a complex hue.

There was shock, awe, relief, and… a hint of hope.

And his final thread of power was about to dissipate.

His ethereal Dark Shadow began to turn transparent, like smoke about to vanish.

He uttered a final sentence, his voice hoarse and solemn, bearing a senior's admonition to a junior:

"Be careful…"

"Deep of No Return Road…"

"Extinction Sequence…"

Before the words fell—

His Dark Shadow completely vanished.

That final fragment of Divine Sense turned into specks of light dust, drifting within the Great Tomb.

The massive skeleton also lost its last sheen, turning to ash.

The Great Tomb returned to Dead Silence.

Ye Wuque watched the scene, silent for a moment.

"Extinction Sequence…"

He murmured, his voice heavy with gravity.

This should be the second time Ye Wuque heard this particular epithet.

The first was from the Fate Master of Treading Fate Imperial Qilin.

At that time, when the Fate Master mentioned "Extinction Sequence," the terror and despair hidden deep in his eyes remain vivid to this day.

And this time, the Primordial Unity Heavenly Venerable's final admonition before death was also these four words.

It must be the true terrifying presence among the Inauspicious Clan, right?

Even the Supreme Boundless Great Perfection shuns it, which speaks to its horror.

Ye Wuque inhaled deeply, lingering no longer.

It was merely a small interlude.

He turned, left the Great Tomb, and pressed further inward.

……

The No Return Road, vast and towering, ancient and unfathomable.

Even at Ye Wuque's current pace, it still took a full half‑year before he could barely step into the true region of the No Return Road.

Here, it is not comparable to the places he had previously explored.
