Chapter 545: The Great Cosmic Cataclysm
Chapter 545: The Great Cosmic Cataclysm
"This is a catastrophe!"
Lin Yuan sat quietly, sensing the terrifying waves of energy that seemed to surge like a tidal wave.
The grudge between the two Chaos Grand Saints had led to the early demise of this universe.
If not for Lin Yuan, perhaps only one in a million of the human civilization's citizens would have survived.
In fact, it was not just the universe where Lin Yuan was located; countless universes had met an early end due to the relentless battle between the Nine Phoenix Grand Saint and the Shadow Demon Grand Saint.
For the beings within these universes, including the Ultimate Twelfth-Stage beings, this was undoubtedly a catastrophe! A catastrophe that could not be stopped, one that they could only ride out.
Such was the power of the Chaos Grand Saints, the absolute pinnacle of the Chaos Void, whose every action could alter the fate of countless lives.
"Get ready," Lin Yuan said as he contacted the nine peak powerhouses, including Xuanyuan Zhqiang.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Nine figures appeared one after the other. More than two hundred years ago, the human civilization had already completed its migration, and the nine peak powerhouses had been awaiting the impending catastrophe.
"Galaxy, you want us to prepare?" Xuanyuan Zhqiang asked in a low voice, looking at Lin Yuan.
Their understanding of the rules of spatial fusion had only reached the sixth level, and they couldn't sense the terrifying aura that Lin Yuan could faintly perceive approaching like a tidal wave.
"It's almost here," Lin Yuan nodded.
This statement filled the nine peak powerhouses with complex emotions.
Although they had long been informed by Lin Yuan that their home universe would be affected by the battle between the two Chaos Grand Saints, resulting in an early cataclysm, there was still a sense of uncertainty.
Even Lin Yuan couldn't be completely sure, as the trajectory of the battle between the two Chaos Grand Saints could only be roughly predicted, not confirmed with a hundred percent accuracy. What if the two Grand Saints suddenly changed direction during their fight?
So, the nine peak powerhouses had always held onto a sliver of hope, as this was their home universe, a place they had deep emotional ties to.
But now, with Lin Yuan asking them to prepare, it meant that the aftermath was already upon them, and the universe's demise was inevitable.
As time passed, two extremely terrifying auras rapidly approached their home universe. Not only Lin Yuan but all the Twelfth-Stage powerhouses within the universe could sense it.
"Is the universe about to undergo a great cataclysm?"
One by one, the Twelfth-Stage beings from other races felt their hearts tighten. Aside from a freak like Lin Yuan, for any Twelfth-Stage being, a cosmic cataclysm was akin to walking through the gates of death.
Especially since this cosmic cataclysm had come half a cosmic era earlier than expected, these Twelfth-Stage beings had lost the opportunity to strengthen themselves during that time, further reducing their chances of surviving the cataclysm.
"A battle between two Grand Saints," the two Ultimates from the Calamity Race murmured as they hid in their wooden house, sensing the vast waves of energy.
"Even Chaos Grand Saints can only hasten the universe's demise at most. They can't completely erase it. We'll be safe as long as we hide in our ancestral home," the two Calamity Race Ultimates thought to themselves.
Whether it was the Grand Saint-level force from the Calamity Race's mother tribe or the Xuanhuang Emperor, they had both chosen to set up their backup plans within the universe.
This was because the universe itself was protected by the Chaos Rules, and even the most powerful Grand Saints couldn't interfere too much.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged under the starry sky, and at that moment, he could clearly sense the waves of destruction approaching.
This destructive force was divided into two powers, constantly intertwining, colliding, and shredding everything in the Chaos Void.
Even something as vast as the universe couldn't escape unscathed; its foundations were irreversibly damaged as it began its descent into the great cataclysm.
Lin Yuan observed carefully, and among the two intertwining and colliding powers, one of them blazed with a fiery red color, fueled by infinite chaos, burning with Chaos Fire.
This Chaos Fire was vastly different from the one mastered by Qing Fenghou in the Source World.
Qing Fenghou's Chaos Fire brought endless destruction and incineration, while this Chaos Fire was teeming with infinite vitality and the power of rebirth.
"Nine Phoenix Grand Saint?" Lin Yuan wondered silently. Although he couldn't hear the battle between the two Chaos Grand Saints, he was certain that this power came from the Nine Phoenix Grand Saint.
The Nine Phoenix Grand Saint had indeed achieved the Grand Saint realm through the path of Chaos Fire.
The other power, intertwining with the Chaos Fire of the Nine Phoenix Grand Saint, was cast in dark shadows, enveloping everything in darkness and silence, devoid of any life.
"Shadow Demon Grand Saint?" Lin Yuan thought quickly. The only one who could match the Nine Phoenix Grand Saint was the other Chaos Grand Saint—the Shadow Demon Grand Saint.
Rumbling filled the void as the two vastly different, almost opposing powers intertwined and collided, sending aftershocks in all directions.
Large areas of the void were affected, torn apart.
With his perception enhanced, Lin Yuan, with his seventh-level insight into the rules of space-time, could faintly sense the universe closest to their home universe.
That universe had been enveloped by these two powers before their home universe.
Crackle!
The universe began to collapse at its very foundation, and the river of time quickly dried up, filling the countless lives within with unimaginable dread.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"Is it the great cosmic cataclysm?"
Far away, in a distant universe, a being cried out in despair, "How could the great cosmic cataclysm have come so quickly? Our universe is still far from its end!"
"My people haven't been evacuated yet!"
Within this universe, the Twelfth-Stage Ultimates sensed the terror approaching a dozen breaths earlier. However, they could only despair as they stored their treasures within their body universes, helpless to save their kin.
Many beings in this universe never even had a chance to perceive the impending doom. In the blink of an eye, entire races were obliterated, not even given the chance to feel pain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The universe continued its descent into chaos, and the great cosmic cataclysm raged on. Even the destruction of something as vast as a universe took time.
"In that universe, the number of Twelfth-Stage beings who will survive won't exceed ten," Lin Yuan murmured, his insight granting him this grim conclusion.
Having prior knowledge of the impending catastrophe and preparing for it made all the difference, especially for those below the Twelfth-Stage.
With forewarning, there was a chance to seek shelter within the body universes of the Ultimates, offering a glimmer of hope for survival.
However, those left outside would face an almost certain demise, as the drying up of the river of time would seal their fate, regardless of their strength.
Lin Yuan sat under the starry sky, observing the nearest universe gradually succumbing to the cataclysm. His expression was calm, devoid of joy or sorrow.
"The power of the Chaos Grand Saints is indeed beyond what I can withstand at present. The unique abilities they've derived from the Chaos Rules are unimaginable.
"I wonder what my Chaos Yin-Yang Tai Chi power will evolve into? Will it be able to match the Chaos Fire and Chaos Shadow mastered by these two Chaos Grand Saints?" Lin Yuan pondered.
The two terrifying forces continued to spread in all directions, and at their center stood two figures.
These figures were like black holes, endlessly spewing forth dreadful auras that shattered the Chaos Void.
"Nine Phoenix, now that we're both Grand Saints, why must we continue this endless feud?"
The figure on the right was a man, standing amidst an infinite shadow. His voice carried a sense of exhaustion as he addressed the other Grand Saint.
"Endless feud?"
"Shadow Demon, you slaughtered my kin. Even if it means my total annihilation, I will kill you!"
The Nine Phoenix Grand Saint was a cold and determined woman. Her gaze fixed on the Shadow Demon Grand Saint, burning with hatred and a thirst for vengeance.
She was a wondrous life form nurtured by the Chaos Void, and alongside her were eight kin who shared the same extraordinary origins.
For eons, Nine Phoenix lived alongside her kin until the arrival of the Shadow Demon Grand Saint.
Back then, Shadow Demon was not yet a Grand Saint but a mere Venerable One. In pursuit of strengthening himself, he mercilessly slaughtered Eight Phoenixes, intending to use their flesh and blood as cultivation resources.
Nine Phoenix managed to escape with the help of her kin, and thus, an enmity was forged.
Their rivalry persisted as they both ascended to the Chaos Grand Saint realm.
During their encounters as Chaos Honored Ones, their battles would eventually exhaust them. However, upon reaching the Chaos Grand Saint realm, their understanding of the Chaos Rules allowed them to harness unique powers with no concept of depletion, consuming the very essence of the Chaos Void at will.
"Kill you?"
"The Chaos Fire you wield is not suited for destruction. You cannot kill me," the Shadow Demon Grand Saint said resignedly. Just as Nine Phoenix was helpless against him, so was he against her.
Nine Phoenix had evolved a regenerative fire from the Chaos Rules, a power that placed her combat capabilities at the bottom of the Grand Saint tier. However, her survival abilities were akin to an immortal body. Even if multiple Grand Saints were to besiege her, they would likely fail to extinguish her flame.
"If I can't kill you, then I'll drag you down with me."
Nine Phoenix's voice was icy and unwavering.
She was prepared to spend the rest of her eternal life locked in battle with Shadow Demon.
"Nine Phoenix, you madwoman!" Shadow Demon's voice echoed with a sense of exasperation. By choosing to drag him down instead of improving her strength, Nine Phoenix was acting like a madwoman in his eyes.
Humm! Humm! Humm!!
As the two Grand Saints conversed, they clashed countless times, only to vanish into the distance in the next instant.
Though the Chaos Grand Saints had departed, the terrifying forces of their battle continued to collide and spread, affecting a vast expanse of the void and causing numerous universes to prematurely meet their end.
"Here it comes," Lin Yuan muttered, his enhanced perception alerting him to the arrival of two powerful forces. The very foundation of his home universe rumbled, signaling the beginning of its collapse, and the river of time swiftly began to dry up, filling all beings within with unimaginable dread.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"Is it the great cosmic cataclysm?"
