"The Great Dao ends in mortal dust and bone;
Emperor's Blood and Dragon Soul carve the ages.
Why is the fate of all life so full of misery?
How many Venerables, how much sorrow?"
Inside the independent Holy Dao Space within the Heaven-Slaying Demon Slayer Sword, Yue Lintian's Holy Soul had slightly recovered. As he extended his senses to the world outside, he was profoundly shaken.
Yet, amid his shock, his words were filled with sorrow and desolation.
He was reciting an ancient Rune from the Celestial Secret Dao, the very same Rune Ye Tianling had used earlier to explain the Profound Meanings of the Celestial Secret Dao.
The scene of swaths of Cultivators exploding and dying unfolded just as he extended his senses.
He was shocked and stunned, but he also felt an immense heartache.
If there had ever been a chance to salvage the past, that chance was now gone.
