Chapter 1799 - Immortal Domain Dispatches Troops
Many provinces were sinking into despair!
That day, the darkness devoured another hundred provinces. No matter how vast the three thousand provinces’ territory was, there was no way they could stop this rate of corruption.
The most terrifying thing was that it wasn’t just the darkness surging, there were true creatures wreaking havoc, all of them extremely strong, led by the evolved kings.
“We’re finished, our realm really is going to be destroyed! I can see some familiar people, Jingang Sect’s old sect master has been resurrected, becoming even stronger than before.”
Someone said with a sigh, truly terrified.
He saw someone he recognized, someone that originally died in the darkness, unable to withdraw in time. His primordial spirit was completely erased, only an empty shell left now.
However now, he appeared again, clearly reviving. Moreover, he was transformed by the darkness, becoming much stronger than before.
Black blood flowed from the corners of his lips, the expression in his eyes like electrical radiance, releasing zheng zheng noises. Moreover, his body released a dark light, as if there were light sword cries. As blood flowed through his body, there were thunderous noises released.
One could see that wherever he passed, there were countless corpses. He directly fished out their hearts, then absorbed their essence blood, devouring them cruelly.
There was even less of a need to talk about the darkness region behind him. He slaughtered his way out from that place, just the kings who evolved to their final forms alone having several among them killed by him, their darkness essence blood devoured.
“Advancing through a mountain of corpses, continuously merging darkness essence blood, he has basically devoured a sea of creatures. This type of evolution is too terrifying!” Someone said with a trembling voice.
This was indeed a terrifying path. Only the heavens knew why it was like this!
It was because they were originally all dead, yet now, they were all vigorous, roaming the world once more, becoming even more powerful.
Only, their consciousness was now different, cold and indifferent, cruel and cold-blooded, no longer recognizing past old friends. When they saw them, they directly killed them.
During this process, Shi Hao took action. He previously killed some of the creatures who evolved into kings. He could kill them, but when facing the dark mist, it still left him feeling rather strained.
It was because a single moment of carelessness and he would be submerged under the darkness, his primordial spirit eaten through.
The sea of pitch-black substance was the source of this great calamity, able to protect all those who revived, moreover allow them to evolve.
This was just the beginning, not the ending!
If most of this world was corroded through, then the experts of this world would become even stronger. They would attack each other, mutually devour each other, become even more terrifying creatures.
Dong!
A drumbeat rang out within this world, extremely muffled and shocking.
Dong dong dong dong…
Then, drumbeats rang out continuously, loud and heavy like a sea. It was as if an ancestral dragon was roaring. Regardless of where it was, the cultivators of the great world could all hear it.
“Immortal Domain’s troops have arrived!” Someone shouted, excited and overjoyed.
The cultivators of different sects were almost in despair. When they heard the drumbeats, they immediately revealed looks of joy, becoming incredibly moved.
Even though they were only a day late, everyone still felt as if a year had passed. The great sects were all withdrawing. Even the long life families of the Nine Heavens were preparing to withdraw, so how could ordinary inheritances not panic?
A wave of troops arrived through the heavens, appearing in the skies outside the darkness region.
There weren’t many people, all of them surrounded by immortal light, great banners fluttering about. Chaotic energy was released, covering their magical force fluctuations, intimidating the creatures of darkness at the same time.
“Is there only one troop? There are only a few dozen of them, this number is too few! Will they be able to stop the creatures of darkness?” Someone said this, full of doubt.
If it was an immortal king, then that was one thing, but judging from their armor and other parts, they were clearly war generals, the highest level cultivators still impossible to be the extreme experts of Immortal Domain.
“The situation has worsened greatly, extremely bad. Everyone, withdraw, give up another hundred provinces of land!”
In the skies, someone ordered.
Then, they all rode their auspicious beasts, speeds extremely fast, sizing up the darkness region, observing along the borders of different provinces.
“We should just back off!”
They all backed off, in the end giving up another hundred provinces of territory.
“This is a dragon vein, we’ll use it as the dividing line. Abandon everything on the other side of this line, withdraw to this side!” An expert from Immortal Domain shouted.
The faces of many cultivators from the three thousand provinces paled. They were giving up on too much territory! Their mountain gates and other things definitely couldn’t be recovered.
Wu…
A conch bugle horn sounded. A path appeared from the distance. The true Immortal Domain army appeared, troops emerging one after another, lining up, covered in immortal mist.
Everyone could see that they were extremely powerful!
“Set up the formation, carry out your tasks as planned!” Someone ordered.
Honglonglong!
Formation cores flew out one after another, changing from the size of a finger to a giant mountain. They fell onto the dragon vein on the great earth, suppressing that dividing line.
Then, magical banners appeared everywhere, flying out down onto the dragon vein like raindrops, truly starting to seal up the darkness region.
The dragon vein changed, becoming like a wall. It stood tall, grand and imposing.
Seven hundred provinces of land now belonged to the darkness region, cut off here!
The three thousand provinces immediately lost a fourth of its territory!
Immortal Domain’s troops set out not to kill, but rather to set up a barricade here, produce a sturdy ‘wall’, as if they were facing a great enemy!
In this realm, the hearts of all cultivators sunk, feeling like the disaster was even more terrifying than they had anticipated.
At first, many people felt that as long as Immortal Domain sent out troops, they would be able to dominate everything, sweep through the darkness territory, rescue them from this calamity.
However now, they discovered that Immortal Domain was only acting defensively, not slaughtering their way in. This was a terrible sign that left all of them feeling uneasy.
“Why is it like this?” Someone asked with a soft voice.
“Right now, before they have reached their strongest point, it is easier to get rid of them. Why aren’t we taking action now?” Even some sect masters in the three thousand provinces were confused.
Now, while the darkness creatures were still evolving, wasn’t this the best chance to take action?
“What do you all understand? What is terrifying is the darkness matter! Even if Immortal Domain’s warriors enter, they might still die.” Someone berated.
When these words were spoken, everyone’s hearts went cold.
Just how terrifying was this darkness matter?
“This inauspiciousness is far more terrifying than your imagination!”
“One has to understand that the creatures of darkness are all people of this realm who have been killed, the true powerful darkness beings haven’t appeared yet. If they rashly charge in and are ambushed by the true darkness creatures lurking behind, then that would be unimaginable.”
Immortal Domain’s words made their minds tremble greatly.
The true darkness disaster, this was only the beginning. It had just erupted, the true ultimate vicious beings haven’t made an appearance yet.
This really was terrifying. If large amounts of Immortal Domain experts fell here and they were resurrected, devouring each other, carrying out an intense round of evolution, just what level of expert would be produced?
When they thought of these things, many people’s bodies went ice cold. This type of darkness matter was simply impossible to deal with. The more they fought, the more soldiers the other side would acquire, moreover become even stronger!
“How did they achieve this? This defies normal reasoning!” Even the long life families’ heads grew big, sighing.
What exactly was this darkness matter? It was simply impossible to understand.
Everyone found it hard to imagine just how those dead creatures were revived, how could they have become even stronger.
“This involves the most ancient struggles, accompanying the source of life, you all will not understand!” One of Immortal Domain’s generals said.
On this dragon vein, great banners fluttered about, many troops from Immortal Domain stationed here. They were all incredibly serious, staring at the situation on this side.
In reality, even Immortal Domain’s cultivators felt like the darkness matter wasn’t easy to deal with. Only truly great figures understood it, previously facing it.
“Normally, when the darkness matter surrounds the great earth, even though there is creature evolution, it was still after many tens of thousands of years. Meanwhile, what is happening today is similar to a certain set of history. They definitely used some type of unmatched ancestral artifact to spur on this process.”
“This is the start of the darkness calamity!”
“Just what kind of supreme treasure is it, to trigger such terrifying great changes?” Immortal Domain and Sacred Academy’s supreme beings both came, seriously asking for guidance. The effects of this were too great.
“Over there!”
One of Immortal Domain’s commanders whose attitude was still rather calm replied seriously to them. He produced a precious mirror, shining it into the depths of the darkness.
“That is…”
Many people saw that once the precious mirror shone, it was no longer pitch-black within the darkness region, some of the scenes could be seen.
There was an ancient artifact flowing with nine-colored brilliance, mysterious and hazy. It was a chest, but it hadn’t been opened, rising and falling on an altar.
It caused the darkness matter to surge, engulf in all directions, possessing a type of terrifying activity!
Shi Hao was not far out. He also withdrew, personally witnessing this scene, his mind incredibly shaken.
Others didn’t recognize it, but it was too familiar to him, feeling like it was deja vu.
“It’s that thing?!” He was shocked, but soon afterwards, he shook his head. This wasn’t it, it was something similar, definitely having a great connection.
He had previously entered an abyss within Burial Earth’s underground veins outside Desolate Border, entering an ancient cave palace with Shenming and Sanzang.
There was a chest that looked like it was metal, yet wasn’t, like stone, yet wasn’t, impossible to open. It was this unmatched and mysterious ancient artifact.
According to what Sanzang said, that was the Origin Ancient Artifact!
There was nothing more precious and powerful than this!
Shi Hao never expected to see this type of ancient artifact in the darkness region as well, similar to the one he had previously seen, but it definitely wasn’t that one.
It hadn’t even been opened, yet things were already like this!
