Chapter 939: The Final Calamity!
...
In the Eastern Continent at this very moment, Patriarch Xiaoyao and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the retreat of the Immortal Sea’s forces.
Returning to the grotto-heaven, they found that a new memorial tablet had been added to the ancestral hall over the past few years.
"Patriarch..." several Daoists nearby spoke up, "Do you have a grandmaster as well...?"
"Of course," Patriarch Xiaoyao replied with a touch of pride, "Your patriarch’s own master used to follow a certain Immortal Venerable. His cultivation was heaven-defying, his talent peerless. It is said... he later went up to the heavens to become an immortal!"
"Come to think of it, that Immortal Venerable actually shared the same surname as the shop owner, haha..." He smiled, seemingly in an excellent mood as he rarely mentioned the past, "Back then, the Eastern and Western continents had not yet split apart. Grandmaster even knew the elves and other foreign races. I wonder if they ever crossed paths in the upper realm."
Speaking up to this point, even the nearby Daoists could not help but feel yearning and fascination, when suddenly...
"Patriarch... look at the tablet!"
Everyone's eyes widened all at once, as though they could faintly sense an inexplicable aura emanating from that particular memorial tablet...
...
It was not just them; there were also the orcs... the dwarves...
And even a succession of legendary figures who had once been deeply revered and whose names would be remembered for thousands of generations.
Their auras seemed to be awakening once more... from the silence.
Even within the Flowing Cloud Daoist Palace of the Immortal Relic Continent...
"Sect Master, look..." In the ancestral hall, a nameless spirit tablet was unexpectedly... radiating a faint aura.
This world might have long since gradually forgotten their existence, but like embers, they finally ignited once more.
But this time...
"The Li God Army has been entirely awakened," two voices spoke separately from high above in the Heavenly Court.
...
In that palace which ruled over the Pantheon and the Immortal Sea, sitting at the very pinnacle of the entire world, even the immortals of the Immortal Sea and the gods of the Pantheon bowed and knelt in worship.
For that was the supreme will... reigning over the entire world!
The Heavenly Court seemed... older than this world itself, as if since the dawn of chaos, it had already watched the entire world and the rolling river of time from a supreme stance.
Whether they were primordial deities or various immortals and sages, at this moment, they all reined in their pride and stubbornness, as respectful as if attending to their own master, and as filled with awe as if accompanying a sovereign.
Rumor had it that these primordial beings were all taught by it... and calling it "Master" was by no means inappropriate.
Within such a sacred hall, only... the King who ruled the gods and the Sage who led the immortals seemed qualified to speak at this moment.
These incomparably powerful existences seemed... to have already foreseen certain events long ago, or perhaps they had made many preparations in the distant past.
The bowing sages and the kneeling gods listened to the oldest ruler of this world. Above their heads was a void of starry sky, and beyond the sky, nebulae seemed to surge, flowing backward into the cosmos.
That was not any kind of physical form, but a will—a supreme, transcendent spiritual will that existed beyond the material realm.
Perhaps it had once manifested in various forms, but at this moment, it was just like this, formless and substance-less.
Though there was silence now, everyone present seemed to have understood its meaning long ago.
"Humans... after all, cannot control the heavens and the earth..." At this exact moment, the immortals, gods, and demons all cast their gazes down upon the human world, which appeared as tiny as a pellet in their eyes, a towering, murderous intent erupting into the sky!
"You shall all be destroyed along with these mortals in this world!"
This time, the immortals, gods, and demons would join forces to first obliterate the human realm! After that, each would depend on their own ability!
The wrath of gods and demons... shattered the sky and destroyed the earth!
In this manner, they seemed to tell these foolish and ignorant mortals who the true master of this world was!
...
In less than a day, a spectacle that no one had ever thought of—or even dared to imagine before—actually appeared between heaven and earth!
In the new shop of the Eastern Continent, Jiang Xiaoyue had only just stepped out of the door today when she suddenly felt the earth shake and the mountains tremble. Within the sect, countless exotic beasts flew up in panic, and in the distant mountains, myriad birds were startled out of the forests.
"What is... happening?!" In the Elf Forest, that beautiful forest like green jade, the elven girl Sera was soothing a deer, but the originally gentle beasts suddenly became restless and uneasy.
Immediately afterward, the deer let out a sorrowful cry, and as if driven mad, it abruptly fled toward the depths of the forest.
A killing intent gripped heaven and earth, and all living things were terrified!
The fierce wind seemed to play a bleak yet magnificent melody for all living beings under heaven; the mountains and rivers were dyed crimson, and flying fires turned the sky into a streaming red.
Perhaps this was the true catastrophe... the tribulation of doomsday!
Whether in the Immortal Relic Continent, the Eastern Continent, or the Western Continent, the cultivators, warriors, and mages all seemed to sub-consciously feel a deep sorrow at this moment, as if heaven and earth were weeping, as if heaven and earth were also wailing for their impending fate.
At this moment, the Elf Forest suddenly cracked open violently from the very center! It was just like a piece of beautiful jade suddenly snapping in half!
Looking up at the sky, a dark cloud that completely blotted out one side of the sky gradually shrouded the world.
On the other side, an incomparably piercing golden light occupied the other half of the sky!
Black and white, pure and turbid... converged from beyond the sky and merged into one place!
The power of those supreme existences was already something this world could not bear, but with the start of this battle, they had no scruples whatsoever, not restraining their power in the slightest as they stepped into this world.
"Such a world... is truly laughably fragile!" a voice echoed from the sky.
"Be careful after all, some fellows are not that easy to deal with," a Daoist said coldly.
"Sacred Venerable Xuanzhong!" an incredibly strange and sinister figure coalesced from a gust of black wind, "Do not boost others' morale and extinguish our own prestige."
The sky lined up in battle formation, which itself seemed to be a terrifying taboo; the entire sky actually collapsed in an instant, endless thunder roared, and within the dark void beyond the heavens, frightful black lightning poured inward!
"Crack!"
The sky collapsed, and countless bolts of black lightning, accompanied by a monumental terror, poured down like a black waterfall. Below, countless mountain ranges collapsed along with it, and the earth split apart following the impact!
The entire world seemed to be destroyed in this power, reverting to the primal state of the world's beginning!
This was the world they depended on for survival, and it also carried their countless beautiful memories, yet at this moment, it seemed to have reached its end...
"No—!" Countless people’s eyes split with rage as they roared at the sky, acting as if they had gone mad, but... they were powerless, only able to watch the distant sky collapse inch by inch as a more terrifying disaster descended upon the human world!
Helplessly watching the gods and demons run rampant in the sky, those existences they had once revered and worshipped now... did not even need to make a move to bring them the most terrible despair!
Their eyes nearly split from their sockets, and some shouted as they charged up, only to be struck on the spot by a bolt of thunder-fire descending from the sky, turning into charcoal and falling back to the earth!
