Chapter 771: Summoning the Dark Deity
Chapter 771: Summoning the Dark Deity
In the void, a massive golden disc was advancing, and on its surface, ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers were cultivating in meditation.
Zhang Buku opened his eyes and gazed at the mysterious and beautiful horizon of the void. His thoughts wandered, reflecting on the great battle that had taken place earlier.
As the Emperor's Contention grew increasingly intense, their Heavenly Army had already experienced hundreds of battles, but the one that had just occurred left him profoundly shaken.
Since joining the Heavenly Court, he had developed a certain disdain for the Three Thousand Great Worlds, as he knew that beyond them lay many powerful realms.
He never imagined that a Vast World could nurture an existence that even a Xianshen could not overcome.
Recalling how the Heavenly Guardian was forcefully suppressed, leaving the entire Heavenly Army helpless, he realized that his path was still long and arduous.
He couldn't help but think of the Fu Dao Jian Zun of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, wondering if this Fu Dao Jian Zun also possessed abilities that surpassed those of a Celestial Deity.
"Still thinking about the previous battle? Such Vast Worlds are few and far between. If it weren't for the Emperor's Contention, they wouldn't have emerged to stir up karma."
Xu You, sitting beside Zhang Buku, spoke, showing no surprise at the battle.
Zhang Buku glanced at him and asked, "With the Emperor's Contention fully erupted, you still refuse to reveal your origins?"
Xu You smiled and said, "Once the Emperor's Contention ends and you're still alive, I'll tell you."
"Could it be that you are also a Celestial Emperor?" Zhang Buku mocked.
Xu You replied irritably, "Some things shouldn't be said lightly. Heaven above, it might bring down Heavenly Punishment on you."
Zhang Buku instinctively looked up. Although he didn't show fear, his sudden silence clearly indicated his reverence for Heaven.
Xu You gazed ahead and continued, "This Emperor's Contention is more chaotic than I anticipated. I have a feeling that a major upheaval will occur soon."
"What kind of upheaval?"
"You'll understand when the time comes. What I can say is that the first decisive battle of the Emperor's Contention will arrive soon."
Xu You's expression grew unusually solemn, and his eyes revealed a hint of apprehension, which made Zhang Buku even more curious about what was to come.
Since becoming a Heavenly Soldier, Zhang Buku had experienced death many times, each time reviving, which made him increasingly fearless. At most, he was amazed by the strength of his enemies.
The Emperor's Contention was already intense, and yet the first decisive battle hadn't even begun?
Zhang Buku felt a mix of worry and excitement, eagerly anticipating the grand battles to come.
...
Time flew by, and ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Heavenly Spirit Grand World was now largely enveloped by the Darkness Cult. From the cosmos, the Heavenly Dao light layer above the Heavenly Spirit Grand World appeared largely darkened, creating a suffocating atmosphere.
Over the years, the Nine Great Sects had jointly attacked the Darkness Cult multiple times. In the great battle a hundred years ago, the Nine Great Sects suffered severe injuries and were no longer capable of fighting, retreating to their respective mountain gates. This made the Mortal World much quieter.
Without the leadership of the Nine Great Sects, fewer and fewer beings dared to resist the Darkness Cult. Mortal Souls continued to suffer, and the number of Darkness Cult followers increased daily.
On a continent known as the Dark Sacred Land, the Darkness Cult had constructed a massive altar, standing a hundred zhang tall with a diameter exceeding a hundred li. At the edges of the altar, stone pillars were erected, each binding a Great Cultivator or a Great Monster, all of them restrained by chains, their arms stretched out, and on the brink of death.
In the center of the altar, over a thousand followers of the Darkness Cult had gathered. The Demon Emperor and Qitian Xiansheng Zhenjun were also present, having been rescued by the Dark Celestial and subsequently joined the Darkness Cult.
All the followers looked in the same direction, where the Dark Celestial, enveloped in Hei Qi, stood with his back to them, gazing up at the sky.
"Will the Dark Deity truly descend?"
Qitian Xiansheng Zhenjun whispered to the Demon Emperor beside him, his voice tense.
The Dark Celestial was the most powerful being he had ever encountered, almost omnipotent. Yet, even such a being was a servant of the Dark Deity. It was hard to imagine just how formidable the Dark Deity must be.
The Demon Emperor, looking ahead, replied telepathically, "By now, you should believe in the existence of the Dark Deity. What you need to think about is how the Dark Deity will treat us once it descends."
Qitian Xiansheng Zhenjun frowned upon hearing this.
After the dark forces entered their bodies, they had indeed become stronger, but they were also aware of the negative effects these forces brought.
They became irritable, greedy, and filled with suspicion.
A force that could elicit such negative emotions must have a malevolent creator.
Meanwhile.
At the edge of the continent, above a sea of clouds, a group of over a dozen Nothingness disciples were looking toward the altar. Among them were Heavenly Demon and Heavenly White. Heavenly White held the White Spirit Precious Tower, which emitted a faint glow, concealing their forms and hiding their karma.
"Is the Darkness Cult truly going to summon the Dark Deity?"
"What can we do? The Darkness Cult is already unbeatable. If the Dark Deity descends, we'll be finished."
"Not even the Great Grandmaster Lv Xian can match the Dark Celestial. We have no hope at all."
"Perhaps only our Ancestor has the chance to defeat the Dark Celestial, but we can't expect him to act. He has already protected the Mortal World many times."
The Nothingness disciples discussed among themselves, most of them being Fourth Generation Disciples who had participated in multiple battles against the Darkness Cult.
Heavenly Demon did not join their conversation. She stared intently at the distance, hesitating about whether to retreat.
Their Dao Treasures had all been enhanced by Gu An, which was how they managed to infiltrate. However, no matter how powerful their Dao Treasures were, they still needed to consider the cultivators' own levels. They couldn't rely on Dao Treasures alone to destroy the Darkness Cult.
Heavenly Demon turned her head to look in other directions. She could sense numerous powerful auras approaching. The news of the Darkness Cult preparing to summon the Dark Deity had spread throughout the Mortal World, and naturally, it would attract those righteous individuals who would do their utmost to stop it, even at the cost of their lives.
Even if the Nine Great Sects working together couldn't shake the Darkness Cult, how could these Great Cultivators turn the tide?
Rumbling—
The ground shook, and a massive black pillar of energy erupted from the distant altar, reaching up to the heavens, as if connecting to another world.
Seeing this, the Nothingness disciples became even more agitated, asking Heavenly Demon if they should take action.
They knew it would be difficult to oppose the Darkness Cult, but those who dared to come here had already put their lives on the line. Seeing the Darkness Cult about to summon the Dark Deity, they no longer cared about the risks.
"Hurry up for what!"
Heavenly Demon barked, startling the disciples into silence.
A beam of sword light streaked across the heavens above them, vanishing into the depths of the continent in an instant.
"It's him..."
Heavenly Demon raised an eyebrow. She suddenly understood why Gu An held him in such high regard. Even when she was far away, he dared to face challenges alone.
The figure within the sword light was none other than Li Ya, the current first sword cultivator of the Mortal World.
