A brilliant radiance emanated from the depths of the void.
In an instant, it engulfed the boundless expanse of the starry sky.
Under its illumination, the once lifeless world blazed bright as the stars themselves.
This realm truly seemed as though it had become a world of martial cultivation — as far as the eye could see, stars filled every corner of the sky.
Yet no one felt the slightest joy. If anything, their unease only deepened.
In the deepest reaches of the starry void, massive silhouettes materialized from thin air, slowly rising into view.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be blank tombstones.
Every single one radiated an aura that surpassed the Ancient Era. Even the smallest among them was comparable to an entire world.
The largest was on par with a minor star domain.
And tombstones of this caliber filled the void — countless of them, packed so densely they were beyond numbering.
The deepest reaches of this starry sky were no longer home to worlds, but to tombstones.
"What the hell is going on?!"
"Did we just… fall into a graveyard?!" Wang Qiang blurted out.
At that moment, an even more colossal structure appeared — a stone archway, larger than even the biggest tombstone, standing before the multitude of tombstones.
Four massive characters were carved across the top of the archway, revealing the true nature of this place.
The Primordial Graveyard!!!
"The Primordial Graveyard?"
Those four words left not just Chu Feng and the others stunned.
Nearly everyone who witnessed the scene blurted them out in unison, including the ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace — Tianjian Qingyuan.
"Whoever caused this disturbance — who is it?"
Tianjian Qingyuan couldn't help but cast her gaze toward Chu Feng and his group once again.
Compared to Chu Feng and the others, who found this development entirely sudden, she had at least some forewarning. After all, the moment Chu Feng and his party had entered this place, Tianjian Qingyuan had already sensed that something had changed in the depths of the starry sky.
She simply hadn't expected the change to be so drastic that it forced the starry sky to reveal its true identity.
"The Primordial Graveyard — Senior, have you heard of it?" Chu Feng asked the Divine Deer.
"No, but this place gives even this deity the impression that its depths are fathomless. It may well be a powerful ruin that even the great figures of the Ancient Era could not handle."
"Chu Feng, this could be an opportunity beyond compare, but it is also one that you are far from capable of shouldering at your current level."
"This deity does not recommend that you get involved. It would be best to leave immediately," the Divine Deer advised plainly.
Chu Feng, however, studied the enormous yet nameless tombstones with careful attention.
He could sense that they did not appear truly blank — it was more as though the inscriptions upon them were concealed, or that their strength was insufficient to read what was written there.
In truth, beneath every single tombstone lay an actual grave, or a spatial world — a legacy ruin brimming with treasures.
The Divine Deer was right.
This could be an opportunity of unfathomable magnitude.
If even she had never heard of it, then this was a place that had remained undiscovered even during the Ancient Era.
A treasure trove that had never surfaced — one that even the powerhouses of antiquity could not locate — could not possibly be ordinary.
Before long, a wave of white mist rolled in from the depths of the starry sky, veiling the radiant light and shrouding the tombstones alike.
Only the massive stone archway and its inscribed tablet remained faintly visible, flickering in and out of sight.
"Conceal yourselves!!!"
A voice rang out from the depths of the starry void — it was Tianjian Qingyuan's.
Upon hearing her command, every member of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace deployed their concealment techniques.
The warship carrying Chu Feng and the others also unfurled a concealing barrier.
It was precisely at that moment that Chu Feng turned to look behind him, and discovered that the starry sky in their wake had split apart with enormous fissures — and the cracks were growing wider by the second.
