Chapter 2394
Chapter 2394: Unbelievable
The world quaked like it was the end of days for Vermillion . Darkness engulfed the area with black strings digging out of the ground . They gathered in the sky, seemingly weaving a great net .
“What is going on?” The members of Vermillion were frightened, both cultivators and mortals alike .
Instinct told them that danger was coming, and a truly terrifying one at that, and they should run now!
“What’s happening?” Dracoform Martial God was also confused . He looked around with a lamp-like gaze illuming the world .
“Crack!” The dao land of the system suddenly had great chasms, perhaps on the verge of collapsing .
“Rumble!” Loud explosions came with more fissures . The mountains and rivers of the systems also went down .
“What the hell?!” Living beings ran away from their home . When they turned back, they saw that their home was gone, replaced by large pits .
No one knew the source of this calamity . Even Dracoform couldn’t pinpoint it in such a short time .
It seemed that something was trying to get out from underground . Though it has yet to show up, this dark energy resembled a surging vitality - an awakening of sorts .
The ground below the court suddenly rose into the shape of a mound, then one of a mountain of mud . With a loud bang, a pagoda finally flew out with an explosion of debris .
This pagoda was carved from a single piece of rock . The original one must have been massive .
It had an ancient style . Though buried underground, it clearly looked timeworn . More importantly, numerous runes were carved on the surface . Each was majestic with its own dimension . Just one alone could seal an entire domain .
It could be said that this pagoda could imprison all evils in this world, devil kings or whatever .
Who knows how long it has been buried down there? Though the runes were still glowing, their light was feeble . Time has weathered down the runes’ power . It was obvious that during the early period, these runes must have been flashing brilliantly with a golden glow, more than enough to suppress the firmaments .
“The runes of the progenitor, meant for suppression . ” An ancestor recognized the runes’ type .
“An entire chapter meant for imprisonment . ” People shuddered after hearing this . A progenitor actually carved these runes? What did he want to imprison?
Everyone watched the pagoda gradually leaving the ground with bated breath .
“There are people below the pagoda . ” An eagle-eyed watcher noticed two people struggling to push the pagoda from the ground, mustering all of their strength and finally got it out .
“It’s Mu Shaochen and Heavenrend Viper!” The crowd became startled .
A while ago, everyone was preoccupied with observing Li Qiye and Dracoform . No one noticed Mu Shaochen and Heavenrend Viper sneaking away .
Li Qiye was the only calm one and spoke while looking at the pagoda: “One might be able to survive an act of god, but not a self-brought calamity . ”
He didn’t find this surprising at all . All was within his expectation .
“Virtuous Nephew, why are you doing this?” Dracoform felt something ominous while staring at the pagoda but didn’t know what was actually inside .
“Haha, martial god, forgot to tell you, this is a big present for you and your system . ” Shaochen laughed boisterously and said: “Oh, it’s a present for Myriad Lineage too . Today is really a joyous day for me, two celebrations in once . Not only will I marry a beautiful wife but more importantly, I will become the ruler that unites Myriad!”
After stating this, he and Heavenrend Viper instantly retreated away from Vermillion .
Dracoform was shocked, knowing that this wasn’t a good development . The rest of the listeners also took a deep breath - unifying Myriad was a frightening ambition .
“Buzz . ” The pagoda sent out rays of light, not the same ones from the carved runes . This time around, this was a light of the dark affinity .
They seemed to be materializing and seeping out of the pagoda, washing the runes on the surface .
As the darkness grew stronger, the light of the runes grew increasingly fainter before disappearing altogether .
The runes began to scatter down to the ground like specks of sand, issuing rustles .
With them gone, the pagoda had cracks all over the place, on the verge of collapsing as if an evil creature was about to break out .
“Not good!” Dracoform shouted but it was too late once he understood what was going on .
“Boom!” Debris went flying after the collapse of the pagoda .
Everyone felt the rising tides of darkness engulfing the world . Vermillion was completely devoid of light to the astonishment of the crowd . However, this darkness came quickly and left also quickly . It rescinded and the bright sky returned to Vermillion .
Once people calmed down, they saw a man standing where the pagoda used to be . This being was completely black, seemingly fusing with the darkness . No one could see his face . His cloak fluttered with the wind, looking as if it was made from the condensation of darkness . The dark tides could return at any moment as people stared at this man .
Regardless of how strong one was, they couldn’t see through this dark being to see his face . He was one with the darkness - an omnipresent feeling pervaded .
People instinctively shuddered even though he didn’t emit any frightening aura . Dracoform felt the same way . Intuition told them that this was the ruler of darkness - possessing the power of this affinity .
Strangely enough, Dracoform found this person to be especially familiar as if he had seen the guy before .
“What… no… can it be…?” He became startled after a bold conjecture emerged in his mind, telling him why this person was so familiar .
“You’re right . ” Li Qiye answered him: “That’s your progenitor - Martial Ancestor!”
“What?!” The crowd blew up in a furor . Even the power ancestors were astounded .
“Impossible! Don’t besmirch my progenitor’s reputation!” Dracoform vehemently denied despite having the same thought .
