Chapter 222: The Chaotic Era Begins
At this moment, the oppressive atmosphere on the Divine Martial Continent reached its peak.
High above the endless sky, countless pitch-black portals emerged, like vortexes of death, exuding a terrifying aura.
Boom!
A deafening roar of thunder echoed across the heavens, shaking the entire world. Above, countless enormous black lightning bolts intertwined like divine punishments, emanating boundless heavenly might, like the roar of the Great Dao itself.
At the very center of these endless black lightning bolts, one portal shone brightly, thousands of feet high. Wisps of terrifying pressure emanated from it, as if a primordial beast lurked within. A single glance at it sent shivers down one’s spine, and a cold, ruthless voice resounded from within.
Above the Fire Spirit Cave, Tian Fan stood coldly, his black hair wildly flowing, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent. He clenched his fists; it was this clan, the ones who had destroyed his home, separating him from his parents and children.
On the Divine Martial Continent, everyone wore expressions of panic as they gazed at the dark portal in the sky, a sense of impending death looming over them.
Buzzzz
As if sensing the intrusion of their nemesis, the numerous spiritual veins of the mortal realm trembled simultaneously, like slumbering ancestral dragons awakening, emitting resounding roars. Countless tiny points of light filled the entire world, surging into the sea of consciousness of every cultivator.
“This world is nearly destroyed, too fragile, but it still belongs to my race!”
A cold, ruthless voice echoed from the black portal.
A foot as massive as a mountain stepped out, causing everyone’s expression to change drastically.
Was that a human leg?
It was terrifying, covered in countless black scales, emitting eerie glows. Its terrifying aura shattered the surrounding heavens and earth.
Buzzzz
But at that moment, a dazzling silver light rose from beneath the earth. An ancient, frail figure stepped forward. He was as thin as a straw, wearing a tattered animal garment. His pale, yellowish skin was devoid of color, like an old zombie just emerged from a grave.
The old man was calm and composed, stepping into the void and pointing a finger forward.
Boom!
The dark portal emitted endless divine light, its terrifying aura threatening to destroy the world, causing space to crack continuously, yet it still couldn’t withstand that seemingly insignificant finger.
“Pfft…”
The enormous demonic leg that had been thrust out was instantly shattered, flesh and blood scattering everywhere, raining down like a torrential downpour. The old man moved again, his right hand reaching out to draw back all the flesh and blood, holding it in his palm. A burst of brilliant silver light erupted, refining the blood and fragments.
“That’s!”
Tian Fan was stunned, never expecting to encounter this old man. Back beneath that small lake, this man had already aged beyond recognition, seemingly on the verge of death. But now, he was incredibly powerful, having actually forced a powerful Heavenborn Clan expert into the black portal.
“I didn’t expect there to be such a powerful being in this world. But do you think you alone can stop us?” A cold, chilling voice came from within the black portal. This was a truly terrifying being.
Boom!
Beside him, tens of thousands of small black portals opened, and countless Heavenborn Clan powerhouses stepped out, instantly filling the entire sky. They were uniformly clad in black armor, their weapons stained with bronze rust, yet radiating boundless killing intent that chilled the soul.
These people immediately attacked the old man upon appearing. At least a hundred charged forward, their expressions cold and arrogant, indifferent and ruthless. Their weapons pierced through tens of thousands of overlapping spatial layers, thrusting towards the old man.
“Pfft…”
“Pfft…”
“Pfft…”
The old man’s long, gray hair was sparse and wispy, fluttering in the wind like weeds. His eyes were sunken like a dried corpse, his nose was almost collapsed, his lips were parched, and the wrinkles on his face resembled the bark of a thousand-year-old pine tree, dry, cracked, and devoid of moisture.
He appeared as if he might die at any moment, yet his terrifying power sent chills down one’s spine. With a slight tremor of his body, a faint silver wave of light emanated outwards, unstoppable. Hundreds of Heavenborn Clan experts were instantly severed at the waist, their very souls annihilated within.
In the distance, Long Yuyun and the others paled. This sickly, withered old man, while appearing worrying, was terrifyingly almost demonic. Those hundreds of Heavenborn Clan experts were undoubtedly incredibly powerful, the lowest being at the Primordial Unity Realm, and many others at the Immortal Ascension Realm, yet they vanished so easily.
Even Tian Fan couldn’t help but be shocked, swallowing hard. When the old man had prevented him from taking the Wind Spirit Orb, he had wanted to fight him to the death. Now, he realized how naive he had been; a single finger from the old man could have killed a thousand of him back then.
“My people, your battlefield is not here. Go forth! This world is my hunting ground, prepared for you. Hone your cultivation and will, and claim your own territory!”
From within the dark portal, another cold voice echoed.
Tens of thousands of Heavenborn Clan powerhouses in the sky, upon hearing this, showed no reaction, but instead unleashed a wild aura as they swooped down towards the ground.
The old man ignored them. His eyes, dull and somewhat cloudy, stared only at the dark portal.
“You think you can stop the two of us by yourself?”
“Who do you think you are? The Immortal Emperor, the Demon Emperor, or the Divine King!?”
These indifferent and ruthless words resounded from within the dark portal, then expanded violently. Although only a wisp of energy leaked out, it was like tens of thousands of waterfalls crashing down, so heavy it was suffocating.
The old man, expressionless and still looking half-dead, stared speechlessly at the group in the distance. Standing in the void, he suddenly turned his head, his eyes brightening. His withered right hand shot out, and the Wind Spirit Orb within Tian Fan’s body, far away, seemed to be guided, instantly bursting forth.
The old man held the Wind Spirit Orb and gently pressed it towards the dark portal. The Orb was small, but it now radiated a powerful divine light, even causing the beautiful woman in the distance to change color, exclaiming, “Such powerful wind spirit energy! Truly worthy of being a sacred object of heaven and earth!”
Millions of years ago, the Five Elemental Orbs did not appear during that battle. Although those people deduced their existence, they felt that the Five Elemental Orbs were suppressing something in the darkness, and ultimately did not use their power.
Buzzzz
The Wind Spirit Orb trembled, transforming into a streak of silver light that imprinted itself on the top of the dark portal. It instantly suppressed the endless source energy, causing the dark portal to shrink continuously until it faded into nothingness.
“Good, very good. The Five Spirit Orbs have been born. You could withstand it once, but you can’t withstand it a second time. Soon, we will descend again. At that time, this world will completely submit to our race…”
A cold voice rang out, and the black portal vanished completely. However, no one could relax. Tens of thousands of Heavenborn Clan members remained in this world, all powerful beings.
A bloody battle awaited them, and everyone knew that the chaos had only just begun…
