Chapter 2849: The Lost One
Year 101813 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar. There were only two years left of the 500-year emperor fate of Donghuang the Great.
The situation of the Seven Realms became more and more sensitive. The Human Realm, Devil World, Empty Divine Realm, and Dark World subtly allied against the Heaven Realm and Divine Prefecture. However, they could not conquer the ninety-nine heavens, so they gave up. As for the cultivators of the Heaven Realm, they had initially come from all the other worlds, so it was meaningless even if they conquered the Heaven Realm.
Thus, all of the realms placed their target on the Divine Prefecture, and now, all the forces had started to infiltrate the Divine Prefecture. The storm that had slept for 500 years was about to start again.
Skirmishes erupted often in the Divine Prefecture. Cultivators from all the worlds arrived to take over the eighteen domains of the Divine Prefecture. The Domain Chief’s Manor could not counter them at all. It was relatively quiet near the Divine Imperial Palace. It seemed that the Donghuang Imperial Palace had sensed the danger.
However, the Heaven Realm’s Heaven Imperial Palace and the Original Realm’s Ye Imperial Palace had been resting and recuperating. The two forces received rare cultivation time.
The number of cultivators of the Heaven Realm’s ninety-nine heavens kept growing. It was the same for the Ye Imperial Palace. Countless years had passed in the outside world, and decades had passed in the Ye Imperial Palace too. Everyone’s abilities had improved drastically and were nothing like before.
Ye Futian had also improved immensely. Storms had swept through the outside world these past few years, but Fang Gai still stopped himself from ever disturbing Ye Futian’s cultivation. He allowed Ye Futian and the others to focus on cultivation and prepare to face the chaotic situation of the current world.
These past few years, Ye Futian only came out once. He gifted a door of time and space, placing it in the sky above the Ye Imperial Palace. All cultivators of the Ye Imperial Palace could go in at any time to cultivate. This way, they could also take advantage of more time.
At the same time, the people of the Ye Imperial Palace all lamented about how strong Ye Futian was now. He had produced a supreme treasure like the door of time and space. They had never heard of a treasure like this before, but the Ye Imperial Palace had it now.
…
Nowadays, countless people still came to the Gods’ Ruins Continent to cultivate and learn. The law of this world was relatively complete—cultivators from thousands of places in the Original Realm gathered here. Now, the Gods’ Ruins Continent was already a whole world, connecting to the thousands of worlds in the Original Realm.
At this time, there was a horrifying sound from a specific direction of the Original Realm. All the cultivators below looked up at the sky, but they did not discover anything either.
Kaboom… The muffled sounds continued, and the ground shook. They looked down at their feet and saw that the ground was indeed shaking. In fact, the surrounding space was shaking violently too.
“What’s going on?”
They were full of fear. The ground was shaking, and the air was shaking too. Was some super-strong figure coming?
But they did not discover anything.
The muffled sounds continued. The frightening booms made their hearts pound violently.
“What exactly is happening?!” No one knew. Everyone stopped cultivating—even those in seclusion could not focus on cultivating anymore. They all looked up at the sky.
The entire vast space was shaking.
And the shaking only got stronger and stronger.
Many people felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their throats. It was extremely repressive, and an absolutely horrifying aura spread out, but they could not feel the direction of its source.
Boom! It seemed that a hole opened up in the dome of the sky. The sky opened; the space was ripped apart. The turbid space roiled and ravaged, and there was limitless darkness.
The horrifying aura came from the limitless darkness.
“This is…” Many people stared up at the broken sky and felt the aura that seeped out of the darkness. They were too shocked to speak.
A brilliant beam of golden light shot out of the black hole right then. It was extremely sharp. Golden divine light rained down, landing on the ground from the sky. After that, they heard a dragon roar that filled the space.
“Ptui!” Paired with the bright dragon’s roar, countless cultivators spat out fresh blood. Some people’s hearts could not take the pressure on their hearts, so their hearts exploded directly. They collapsed on the spot and vomited blood until they died.
Those with weaker cultivations could not bear it at all.
Kaboom… With that horrible boom, many people were killed directly by the dragon roar’s reverberations. Others knelt on the ground, unable to stand up. The might from the heavens was suffocating for them.
But everyone still forcefully lifted their heads to look at the hole in the sky. Next, they saw an extremely mighty dragon head. The huge dragon head came out of the broken black hole and was followed by a humongous body.
“Golden Divine Dragon!”
All the strong cultivators’ hearts pulsed. The Golden Divine Dragon was giant. Its body continued to appear in this world. It was over a thousand meters, but only up to its next had appeared.
“Demon emperor! This is a demon emperor!”
The emperor’s might pressed down on all the cultivators. They could feel that this Golden Divine Dragon was a demon emperor.
Demon emperor Golden Divine Dragon’s huge body gradually appeared. Golden divine light scattered on the ground. Next, an even more shocking scene appeared. All the cultivators of the Gods’ Ruins Continent saw a middle-aged man dressed in dark clothing standing on the dragon’s back.
This demon emperor was his ride!
Finally, the demon emperor Golden Divine Dragon’s body—tens of thousands of meters long—crossed over the black hole. The sky returned to normal, but now, a man and demon were in the sky.
The dark-robed middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back. He was merely standing, but he gave off an indomitable might. He gazed around, but no one dared to meet his eyes.
He seemed to be the master of the world and the sovereign of the ages. He rode above all beings and looked down at the masses.
The dark-robed man looked down. Instantly, a few people’s bodies floated at the same time. They began to have pained expressions. Then the man’s gaze seemed to pierce them, entering their minds. They floated listlessly in the air. They wanted to struggle, but they could not move at all.
“Ah!” One of them let out a pitiful and pained cry, clutching his head with both hands.
“Senior, have mercy!” someone else yelled, but the dark-robed man’s expression did not waver. He continued his actions.
Moments later, many images appeared in the dark-robed man’s eyes. Then the few figures dropped down at the same time. They were not breathing anymore.
The vast space was deathly silent. No one dared to step out. They all stayed absolutely silent.
Every being was like an ant before a Great Emperor.
They were no different from ants before a Great Emperor. The man could use one thought to destine them to death. They could not resist at all.
“The Seven Realms!” the dark-robed man muttered. Then he looked up at the sky.
The Golden Divine Dragon roared and flew up, rushing into the sky and going towards higher altitudes.
…
In the Donghuang Imperial Palace, Donghuang the Great was sitting on his throne with his eyes closed. At this time, he seemed to sense something. He looked down from the sky. His gaze penetrated the vast space and he saw the scene in the Gods’ Ruins Continent.
The Lost One had embarked on the path of return too!
