Killing Intent Overturns Heaven and Earth, a Scene of Despair
Killing Intent Overturns Heaven and Earth, a Scene of Despair
The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being did not disappoint Changge. The very day after speaking those words, he resolutely set off for the Absolute Yin Heaven.
The vast, surging Eternal Overcast Fog blew in from distant lands, as if shrouding every corner of the heavens and the universe.
Under the shocked, excited, and horrified gazes of countless Cultivators and living beings...
A divine rainbow pierced through the firmament, as if tearing the universe apart, and cleaved straight down upon the Absolute Yin Heaven.
In that moment, it was as if heaven and earth split apart, as if Chaos itself was first taking form.
Countless divine lights and immortal radiances, dazzling and blinding, illuminated the depths of the heavens of the Beyond.
The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being appeared at the Absolute Yin Heaven, feathered robes and starry crown, Daoist robes fluttering, bearing the immortal bearing of a Daoist sage. His Dharma Body towered tens of millions of zhang high, propping up heaven and earth, reaching everywhere without limit.
He struck. He offered up a Bronze Giant Cauldron, which descended into the depths of the Absolute Yin Heaven, heavy and majestic, wreathed in countless runes, suppressing and sealing as it fell.
Boom!!!
The cauldron’s roar was vast and boundless, rippling out terrifying waves.
In that moment, countless Cultivators and living beings heard the immense, surging sound, like giant waves crashing against the sky, as if to drown the entire universe.
The Absolute Yin Heaven was collapsing and splitting apart, and endless fog surged out from within.
To ordinary Cultivators and living beings, this was an unimaginable catastrophe.
Any wisp of Eternal Overcast Fog was enough to corrode and devour space itself, burying all vitality.
Yet the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being extinguished that great fog with ease. With a wave of his great sleeve, Chaos Energy rolled forth.
The great cauldron rose and fell, suspended in the sky, wreathed in sky-piercing divine light, and even ancient sacrificial scriptures of the primordial ancestors manifested upon its four walls.
Then, those manifested patterns seemed to come alive, charging into the Absolute Yin Heaven, as if to utterly annihilate the beings within and restore peace and tranquility to heaven and earth.
The fluctuations there were far too terrifying. Even across vast distances, they transmitted outward.
The entire star domain trembled. Every star shuddered, as if about to fall.
From ordinary Cultivators up to True Daoists, all could feel that vast and terrifying aura, enough to make one’s soul sway unceasingly.
“So this is the current strength of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being? Truly terrifying. How exactly did he do it? In this era, how can he wield such power?”
Many True Daoists wore grave expressions, their figures appearing in the depths of the firmament, gazing toward that corner of the universe.
Their hearts surged with stormy waves, and they gained a clearer understanding of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being’s power.
“Wonderful! The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being is truly going to resolve the calamity of the Absolute Yin Heaven for us!”
“How many forces has this calamity destroyed, how many living beings has it annihilated? Today, it can finally be brought to a complete end!”
“The great kindness and virtue of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being is enough for us to remember for a lifetime, and even pass down to later generations, so that our descendants will remember and be grateful!”
Countless Cultivators and living beings watched all of this in shock and excitement.
Filled with heartfelt gratitude toward the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being, they knelt upon the ground, bowing in worship toward that direction.
The rolling Eternal Overcast Qi was suppressed by the Bronze Giant Cauldron, no longer spreading toward the surroundings.
Instead, it continuously contracted and collapsed, as if pushed by an invisible giant hand, converging toward the depths of the Absolute Yin Heaven.
It was a heart-shaking sight.
The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being’s Dharma Body towered tens of millions of zhang high, as if propping open heaven and earth itself. His great hand descended, spanning boundlessly, once more sealing the Absolute Yin Heaven.
The Bronze Giant Cauldron rose and fell, wreathed in endless divine light, and finally, with a thunderous boom, descended upon the Absolute Yin Heaven.
He did not choose to erase the Eternal Overcast Qi, but instead used a gentler method to halt its spread.
“This Absolute Yin Heaven is truly mysterious and uncanny. Even I can only hold it back for a thousand years. If no other method is found after a thousand years, it will likely spread once more.”
“When that time comes, if I am still around, I can act again and seal it once more.”
“But this is not a long-term solution.”
The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being looked at the many Cultivators who had rushed to this place, and sighed softly, as if with some regret, explaining.
Hearing these words, the hearts of everyone present sank, and their expressions grew solemn.
They had thought the calamity of the Absolute Yin Heaven could be completely resolved this time, but they had not expected that even the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being could only seal it once more.
Moreover, this seal could only last a thousand years.
If, after a thousand years, they still could not find a way to break it, the Absolute Yin Heaven would make a comeback and erupt once again.
“We understand. Thank you, Supreme Being, for acting.”
“For the Supreme Being to prevent this calamity from spreading again, this thousand years is already enough for us.”
“We will surely find a way to break it within this thousand years, and will not let the Supreme Being’s efforts go to waste.”
Soon, everyone recovered, understanding that the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being had likely done his utmost, and they cupped their fists in gratitude.
The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being’s figure returned to its original form. His originally lean face now bore traces of pallor and weakness.
As if sealing the Absolute Yin Heaven before him had consumed a great deal of his strength.
He waved his hand and said, “Fortunately, the Beyond is about to undergo great upheaval, and many fortuitous opportunities are coming. What will happen in these thousand years, no one can say.”
The Eternal Overcast Qi receded, and the vast territory before them finally appeared before the eyes of the world, leaving hearts trembling with fear.
As far as the eye could see, there was only broken, ruined earth, permeated with rolling baleful qi and Death Qi.
Many terrifying great ravines stretched across it, fallen stars littered the land, devastation everywhere, like an abandoned ancient universe, incomplete and deathly silent.
“The calamity of the Absolute Yin Heaven has finally ceased. Though only for a thousand years, it is enough.”
An elderly Cultivator who had rushed over spoke with a complicated expression, carrying gratitude, his heart finally relaxing with a long breath.
“Thank you, Supreme Being, for acting and relieving this calamity for all living beings.”
From all other regions, many divine rainbows also rushed over. Looking at the shocking scene before them, they cupped their fists in gratitude toward the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being.
The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being’s face appeared somewhat weak as he gently waved his hand. “A pity. It could not be completely resolved.”
With that, he did not linger. The void before him blurred, a passage appeared, and his figure stepped into it, quickly vanishing.
The people present watched this scene, deep admiration welling up in their hearts.
This was a true person of virtue and the Dao, seeking no reward, working for the peace of all living beings.
As expected of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being. This great righteousness and kindness was just like that of Young Master Changge.
Many people discussed animatedly, quickly sending word of this place back to the Daoist traditions and forces behind them.
The events of this day spread swiftly, as if growing wings, triggering a massive earthquake.
The calamity of the Absolute Yin Heaven, which had swept through the Beyond for years, was finally sealed.
Countless Cultivators and living beings rejoiced and cheered. In various places, temples and statues were even built for the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being, worshipped day and night.
Many Daoist traditions and forces also immediately dispatched clan members, carrying generous gifts, to visit and thank the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being.
After all, they had heard that he had consumed no small amount of strength to seal the Absolute Yin Heaven, so they wanted to make their faces familiar and brush up some goodwill.
Gu Changge naturally learned of this news at the first moment.
The so-called thousand-year seal was, in his view, merely a little trick of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being.
He himself had ways to completely resolve this calamity of the Absolute Yin Heaven.
The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being’s claim was nothing more than an excuse.
At the end of the day, the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being was simply too shrewd and calculating. On one hand, he wanted to earn his trust, while on the other, he pretended to have consumed a great deal of strength. Wasn’t this exactly his own usual trick?
Changge smiled faintly, then crushed a Jade Tablet in his hand, turning it into powder that scattered across the sky.
Jin Chan, the Chosen Monk, was already on the road, having left the Divine City and returning to Buddhist Mountain.
Although a True Daoist was protecting him, that ancient Buddha was not present. He remained in the Divine City, seemingly having some matter he intended to ask the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being about.
Without a heavyweight figure by his side for protection, could he still be considered safe?
After all, for the matter of being backstabbed in the Central Great Hall, Changge did not intend to let him off so lightly.
Nor did he plan to send Ah Da or Ah Er to deal with Jin Chan, the Chosen Monk.
Why use an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken? Though it wouldn’t quite require a dragon-slaying sword either.
To deal with a single Jin Chan, three True Daoists ought to be more than enough.
Changge quickly passed down the order, dispatching three Dark True Daoists.
Dark Heaven had not been revealed to the world for long, but the number of True Daoists it possessed already numbered over a dozen.
Let alone erasing a Young Prodigy, even killing the leader of a Cult of Immortality would be more than manageable. Of course, that was on the premise that the opponent carried no Immortal Grade Artifact on their person.
Of course, to ensure absolute certainty, Gu Changge also bestowed a secret treasure—a Forbidden Weapon.
After dispatching the three Dark True Daoists, Gu Changge did not stop there. He sent a message to the Immortal Dao Alliance’s Chosen One, Lan Yifei, telling him to find an opportunity to make his move.
There were quite a few Young Prodigies in the Divine City.
At a time like this, how could the excitement be lacking?
Gu Changge did not mind muddying the waters here even further.
However, shortly after, an unexpected figure suddenly came to visit, leaving even Gu Changge somewhat surprised.
Who would it be this time?
At the same time, on the other side of the Divine City.
Lan Yifei, having quickly received the news, looked at the Jade Tablet in his hand with a complicated expression, then gently crushed it.
He did not dare disobey Gu Changge’s orders.
He had thought that this time, Jin Chan, the Chosen Monk, would produce some important evidence, exposing the truth that Gu Changge was the real Successor of Demonic Arts.
Unfortunately, in the end, he was still one move short. Gu Changge had long prepared a countermeasure.
Even that ancient Buddha could not determine whether what Gu Changge said was true or false.
The Heavenly Maiden, the King of Six Crowns... none of these were easy to deal with.
It seemed he would have to start with the other prodigies.
Lan Yifei sighed softly, turned, and left the courtyard, quickly vanishing into the Divine Domain.
“Chosen Monk, the ancient Buddha said that this journey back to Buddhist Mountain will not be smooth.”
“He wanted us to accompany you back and protect you along the way.”
In the northwest of the Divine City, Buddhist light shone brilliantly, and spatial qi permeated the air.
A Transportation Array stood at this place, spiritual energy dense and hazy, vast fluctuations emanating from within.
As if it connected to another boundless starry sky.
A group of monks with profound auras followed behind Jin Chan, the Chosen Monk, pressing their palms together as they explained.
Jin Chan nodded and said, “The ancient Buddha told me of this matter. I will be extra careful. I will trouble the few shishu then.”
As he spoke, the hand hidden beneath his monk’s robes was gripping a relic radiating hazy brilliance.
This was a Forbidden Weapon bestowed by that ancient Buddha, containing a wisp of the Dharma Body of Ancient Buddha Sha Na.
Its power was supremely mighty.
Jin Chan was, after all, the future hope of Buddhist Mountain.
Ancient Buddha Sha Na had divined that he faced an omen of great misfortune this time, which was why he wanted Jin Chan to return to Buddhist Mountain and be confined there for several years.
This journey back to Buddhist Mountain was also unsafe, its fortune unknown.
Jin Chan felt somewhat uneasy in his heart, always feeling that Gu Changge would not let him off so lightly.
In the Central Great Hall, he had questioned Gu Changge so, even openly provoking him.
Such actions—judging by Gu Changge’s usual temperament—he would absolutely not let him go.
Hopefully, Gu Changge wasn’t that bold.
Jin Chan’s eyes were slightly closed, threads of sharp light flickering within, not at all as calm and indifferent as he appeared on the surface.
Soon, the Transportation Array activated, light flashing in waves, spatial fluctuations spreading.
Jin Chan and the others stepped into it, their figures quickly blurring and vanishing.
This large-scale Transportation Array could cross many star domains, traversing hundreds of millions of li in an instant, as if shuttling through a cosmic tunnel.
However, midway through the teleportation, terrifying fluctuations suddenly came from the void, as if someone was forcibly tearing apart this passage.
The violent fluctuations caused the expressions of Jin Chan and the others to change drastically.
“Not good! Someone is forcibly destroying this Space Tunnel!”
“Quick, protect the Chosen Monk!”
A tall monk spoke, his expression grave. He possessed cultivation at the Sacred Emperor Realm.
But before his words had even finished, the void before them suddenly collapsed, then became covered in countless cracks, exploding apart like a shattered mirror.
The scattering aura was terrifying and sky-flooding, like ocean waves sweeping in all directions.
Rules broke. Order dissipated.
Immediately after—
A great black hand pierced through heaven and earth, fiercely tearing down, carrying an overwhelmingly domineering aura, as if it could easily swat down the sun, moon, and stars.
The monk who had just spoken didn’t even have time to react before being smashed into a bloody mist by that great black hand, body and soul utterly destroyed.
“This is a True Daoist’s attack!!”
The expressions of the remaining monks changed drastically. They activated their Buddhist treasures, Buddhist light radiating from their entire bodies, attempting to resist this strike.
But their cultivation was far from reaching that level. The Buddhist light around them shattered in an instant. Merely being swept by a trace of the aura, they coughed up blood and burst apart, perishing directly in the void, not even their bones remaining.
The two with the highest cultivation barely managed to preserve their lives, but they too were severely injured, their auras flickering on the verge of death.
“By order, we take your life.”
The great black hand tore apart this void passage.
The figure behind it descended, speaking coldly, its entire body shrouded in black mist, impossible to see clearly.
And such figures numbered three in total, like terrifying mountains standing erect in this starry sky, giving off an immense pressure that was simply suffocating.
Killing intent overturned heaven and earth.
Three True Daoists!
Jin Chan’s steady and indifferent expression could no longer be maintained, faintly revealing an ugly look. Beneath his robes, the veins on his hand bulged and throbbed.
He had known Gu Changge would definitely not let him go.
But he had never imagined that Gu Changge would be so deranged as to dispatch True Daoists to kill him.
And three True Daoists at that.
How exactly did he do it? And how did he possess so many subordinates?!
Facing the scene before him, even the leader of a great sect would despair!
