Chapter 344: Darkness Strikes! The Moment of Despair!
Chapter 344: Darkness Strikes! The Moment of Despair!
On the outskirts of the Taicang Continent, a group of ragged individuals were making their way towards the forest from a beach.
A young girl supported her elderly grandfather, her eyes filled with fear as she gazed at the strange blood-red anomaly in the sky.
"Grandpa, do you think there's some sinister plot behind them bringing us here?" she asked cautiously, her face covered in dirt but unable to hide her bright eyes.
Her grandfather trembled as he walked, barely managing to say, "Things will get better..."
It wasn't just them; others nearby were also filled with worry and anticipation.
Across the continent's edge, many more people like them were hurrying inland.
Those with high cultivation swiftly vanished, while those with lower cultivation could only proceed on foot.
Gu An observed all this, and with his Divine Mind, he could tell that these people were all reincarnated Heavenly Demons, their souls bearing the same cause and effect as You Yingying and Shen Xinzi.
They had all arrived through teleportation arrays, and as soon as they emerged, the arrays quickly disappeared.
Gu An probed their cause and effect, gathering some information.
Heavenly Prison!
These people were from the Heavenly Prison, and they themselves didn't know the reason they were being driven out by the authorities there.
Although the cause and effect and fortune of the Heavenly Prison were not connected to the Holy Court, Gu An knew without a doubt that the Great Saint King of the Underworld was involved.
After all, he had few enemies, and only the Great Saint King of the Underworld could have orchestrated something of this scale.
Bringing so many reincarnated Heavenly Demons here was nothing but a ploy to attract the Dark War Emperor.
Gu An dismissed such tactics with a wave of his hand. Still, it was a good thing, as if it could lure the Dark War Emperor early, it would reduce casualties, and the Dao Support Sword Lord would have a justifiable reason to intervene.
"Master, what exactly is that in the sky?"
Long Qing looked up, his little face filled with fear.
Anyone who saw him would find it hard to associate him with the Emperor of the Annihilation Realm.
Gu An patted his head and gently reassured him, "It's nothing. It might rain soon. Didn't you say that you're a man now that you're five years old? Why are you crying again?"
Upon hearing this, Long Qing quickly wiped away his tears, clenched his tiny fists, and said, "I'm not crying! There was sand in my eyes just now!"
Youshijing, standing nearby, was amused by his words, lightening the tense atmosphere.
Gu An put Long Qing down and turned to You Yingying, smiling as he asked, "You're not going to keep holding onto me, are you?"
Youshijing quickly released her hands, her face slightly red, and she scoffed, "Pfft, who wants to hold you?"
"Really? Someone almost tore my sleeve off just now."
"Hmph, I was just being careless."
As the two bantered, the Taixuan Sect's defense array activated, and a majestic light screen rose in the distance, with cultivators flying over the Third Medicine Valley.
The Taixuan Sect quickly entered a state of readiness for battle!
Nine-Finger Divine Lord stood up, looking into the distance, and said, "More trouble has arrived. It seems we won't be able to finish this game of chess."
The old cultivator sitting opposite him heaved a sigh of relief, just about to say something when Nine-Finger Divine Lord suddenly disappeared.
Under the distant trees, Shen Xinzi also stood up and vanished from his original spot.
...
Beneath rolling thunderclouds, the earth was engulfed in raging flames, resembling a hellish landscape.
A figure strode through the sea of fire, clad in tattered black battle armor, with curly black hair and rotting limbs covered in blisters. His back was slightly hunched, and beneath his disheveled hair was a terrifying face.
His face was also decaying, with only his eyes intact, and his lips were missing, revealing a mouthful of teeth that sent shivers down one's spine.
He was the Dark War Emperor!
As he walked, he exhaled foul breath.
His gaze turned towards the distance, where a man in white stood suspended at the edge of the sky, watching him.
He took just a glance before averting his eyes.
He halted his steps and straightened his body, as if sniffing the air.
Suddenly, he turned his head sharply towards a direction and vanished into thin air.
The next moment, he appeared beneath the blue sky, above layers of clouds. He plummeted, dispersing millions of miles of clouds, and descended with unstoppable force towards the earth.
Boom!
Terrifying flames illuminated the heavens and earth, and a powerful shockwave erupted from a spot on the continent, sweeping across in all directions. The azure mountain river was reduced to a charred, blackened landscape.
Countless lives were annihilated in an instant.
"Enough."
The voice of the man in white resonated with a sense of oppression.
Immediately, the Dark War Emperor's sinister laughter echoed, adding a chilling touch to the devastated land.
At the same time.
Third Medicine Valley.
Gu An sensed a divine consciousness sweeping through, far surpassing that of the Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal. It must be the Dark War Emperor's divine consciousness.
As expected, the Dark War Emperor was still drawn by the cause and effect of the Heavenly Demons on this land.
Gu An walked towards the teleportation array platform.
"Where are you going?" Ji Xiaoyu's voice reached Gu An's ears, and he turned to see Ji Xiaoyu watching him from a distance.
He replied using sound transmission, "I'm going to Xuan Valley. There are many people here, so there's no need for me to worry."
After hearing this, Ji Xiaoyu could only nod and watch him leave.
Gu An arrived at Xuan Valley through the teleportation array, where Lu Jiujia had gathered his disciples together, all discussing the sudden terrifying anomaly.
"Master is here!"
One disciple exclaimed with delight, and everyone turned to look, their faces filled with joy. The oppressive aura of the Dark War Emperor made them shiver, and they couldn't help but worry about what might happen next. Seeing Gu An at this moment naturally eased their concerns.
Gu An walked towards his disciples, and at the same time, he felt the Divine Awareness of the Nine-Finger Divine Lord locking onto him.
It seemed that the Nine-Finger Divine Lord also suspected a connection between Gu An and the Dao Support Sword Lord.
Interesting!
At that moment, the beings on the Taicang Continent suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, regardless of their cultivation level, they all experienced this sensation.
But this feeling lasted only an instant, and then it vanished!
"What's going on?"
Zuo Yijian stood beside the Heaven-Splitting Axe, gazing at the horizon, his brows furrowed in concern.
It wasn't just him; everyone on the Heaven-Repairing Platform was startled and confused, unsure of what had just happened, but the sensation they felt was undoubtedly real.
The entire Taicang Continent was shrouded in a panic-stricken atmosphere!
Under the dark sky, the Dark War Emperor appeared in the air, with a vast ocean beneath him. He looked towards the distant continent, his brows furrowed.
The continent ahead was none other than the Taicang Continent!
As he rushed towards the Taicang Continent, he felt a powerful force blocking his momentum, forcing him to come to a halt.
That continent concealed the presence of an Ancient Great Power!
With such a dense concentration of Heavenly Demon Qi, the beings within the continent were likely unrelated to the Holy Court.
The Dark War Emperor's eyes flickered, and he raised his right hand. Dark Qi surged from his palm, quickly covering the sky, and surged towards the Taicang Continent.
The beings on the continent saw dark clouds gathering in the distance, and before they could even think, the world suddenly darkened, turning day into night.
"What's happening? Why did the sky suddenly turn black?"
"Did you feel your heart suddenly stop a moment ago?"
"What's going on? Could it be that the Great Cold Demon Sect is coming again?"
"Could it be the appearance of a world-shaking demon?"
The Xuan Valley disciples whispered among themselves, and Gu An's expression grew solemn. He couldn't explain the situation to his disciples, so he could only ask them to trust the Taixuan Sect.
As the entire continent was enveloped by dark clouds, the oppressive aura of the Dark War Emperor intensified, causing unease and fear among the beings.
Standing in front of the wooden railing, Ji Xiaoyu felt a sense of dizziness. She seemed to see a pitch-black figure approaching her, each step filled with an oppressive force, as if stepping on her heart.
It wasn't just her; all the beings on the continent fell into this bizarre state.
Inside the imperial palace.
Li Xuan Dao sat on the Dragon Throne, also feeling dazed. The officials in the hall lost their color, and he saw a figure approaching from outside the hall, as if the God of Death was drawing near.
The officials in the hall all had pale faces, enveloped in an eerie silence.
In temples, buildings, grand halls, caves, forests, and everywhere else, whether they could see the sky or not, all beings were drawn into a strange and indescribable state.
Those who were reincarnated as Heavendemons felt it even more intensely. For example, Youshijing clearly saw the true face of the Dark War Emperor. His hideous and terrifying appearance shocked her eyes, and she wanted to scream for help, but she couldn't make a sound, nor could she move.
She could only wait for death!
Even a powerful being like Shenxinzi, at the ninth level of the Wanderer Immortal Realm, found himself in the same predicament.
As the Dark War Emperor approached step by step, Shenxinzi clenched his teeth, his heart filled with panic and unease.
He couldn't comprehend the other party's abilities, and he couldn't accept his fate.
In reality, the Dark War Emperor, with his right arm raised, revealed a manic and cruel smile. Dark Qi surged from his palm, forming a cloud sea that blotted out the sky, and from within his palm, a black spear took shape, encircled by mysterious seals, emitting a repressed and ominous aura.
"Let this Emperor test your abilities!"
The Dark War Emperor licked his teeth, his hoarse voice filled with boundless killing intent.
Suddenly!
He abruptly looked up, and in the rolling black cloud sea, a bright light emerged. His expression changed slightly, and he gripped the spear, his aura bursting forth, shaking the heavens and the earth.
The ocean below suddenly collapsed, a spectacular sight!
He channeled his cultivation into the spear, and black flames erupted from its shaft. Countless resentful souls emerged, frantically trying to escape their bonds, but to no avail.
In the heavens, the mysterious beings within the seven suns opened their eyes, all gazing at the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
From the heavens, a dazzling and magnificent Great World appeared with a black dot, rapidly expanding.
Inside the Third Medicine Valley.
Ji Xiaoyu also fell into the bizarre state of a Heavendemon reincarnation. She saw the true face of the Dark War Emperor as he strode through the medicine garden, approaching her.
She had seen this scene in her dreams several times, but when she faced it in person, the feeling was completely different.
Uncontrollable fear and despair enveloped her heart, and she struggled to dispel these emotions, but it was futile.
"Damn it..."
Ji Xiaoyu clenched her teeth, and the red Dao seal between her eyebrows stretched out, surrounded by blazing flames.
She was using the power of the Primordial Dao Seal!
At that moment, a burst of light erupted from behind her, dispelling the darkness from her field of vision. She instinctively turned her head, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure, her pupils suddenly dilating.
It was a sword shadow!
A sword shadow shimmering with silver light!
Countless thunderbolts converged on the sword shadow, shaping its blade!
Ji Xiaoyu had never seen such a sword before. It seemed to have crossed the River of Destiny from ancient times, and wherever its tip pointed, darkness was annihilated.
At this moment, not just her, but all the beings on the continent who were in despair, saw this sword.
Thank you for your support!
