Against the Gods Chapter 1404: The Devil's Shadow Arrives (Part 2)



“I understand.” Mu Bingyun nodded. The Snow Song Realm was located in the extreme north of the Eastern Divine Region, and was indeed one of the star realms closest to the Northern Divine Region.

When Mu Bingyun mentioned the Northern Divine Region, she looked a little strange. When she left, she said quietly, “My father was killed by a demon back then. My mother left a will that the demons of the Northern Region would be the eternal enemy of Snow Song… No matter what happens in the future, I will never let the demons set foot in Snow Song even at the cost of my life!”

Mu Xuanyin: “…”

After Mu Bingyun left, Mu Xuanyin stood still for a long time before she opened her icy eyes and called out softly, "Feixue."

Mu Feixue was wearing an Ice Phoenix Snow Robe. Her beautiful snow-white face was as eternally icy as Mu Xuanyin’s. She came behind Mu Xuanyin and knelt down to bow.

“It will be difficult for you to make any progress in the Ice Phoenix God-granting Canon in a short period of time,” Mu Xuanyin said, “Starting tomorrow, I will teach you [Broken Moon Brushing Shadow] and [Broken Moon Destruction].”

"Yes." Mu Feixue responded softly.

"Broken Moon Brushing Shadow is the same as the Ice Phoenix Conferred God Canon. It is the Ice Phoenix divine power left by the ancient Ice Phoenix. Currently, no one in the entire sect can cultivate it except for the master. Whether you can comprehend it depends on your understanding and luck. Broken Moon Destruction is a forbidden skill created by our ancestors. You should have heard of it from your grandfather. Although it is extremely powerful, the master still needs to use his essence and blood to activate it. If you want to use it in the future, you may need to use your life as a guide. You must remember this first."

"Yes." Mu Feixue responded without any emotion.

Yun Che’s comprehension ability was extremely high. Whether it was the Ice Phoenix God-conferring Canon or the Broken Moon Shadow, he could do it with ease… but Mu Xuanyin had never taught him the Broken Moon Destruction.

The world suddenly became quiet. Mu Xuanyin stood there for a long time, without making a sound. After half an hour, she realized that Mu Feixue was still kneeling behind her and whispered, "Go ahead."

"Yes, Master." Mu Feixue stood up and walked away slowly. Even she could clearly sense that Mu Xuanyin was a little uneasy.

Mu Xuanyin’s prediction was correct. The sudden outbreak of the beast tide in the Northern Territory of Snow Song was definitely not just an isolated case, because on the same day, and even at the same hour, nearly 30% of the star realms in the Eastern Divine Region simultaneously erupted in a beast tide of exactly the same nature... without any signs.

One thing these star realms have in common is that in the eastern sky, one can see an increasingly dazzling red star.

Moreover, as this star becomes more and more dazzling every day, more and more star realms can be seen from it.

And this day was just the starting point of a series of disasters in the Eastern Divine Region.

A shadow without breath, color or form had quietly spread across the Eastern Divine Region... or more accurately, across the entire Primal Chaos Space.

Eastern Divine Region, Eternal Heaven Divine Realm.

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor stood on a dome that was taller than the Eternal Heaven Tower. He looked towards the east, his hair and beard fluttering in the wind, his eyes revealing a solemnity he had never seen before.

But his face had an abnormal grayish-white hue.

Behind him, two figures appeared.

The man was dressed in a white robe, was tall, had white hair and beard, had an immortal look and a sweet smile, like an immortal from another world.

The other man was dressed in black, with a face as sharp as a sword and a pair of dark and mean eyes, as if he had no emotions.

The two most prestigious forces under the throne of the Eternal Heaven God Emperor are undoubtedly the Guardian and the Judge. The former is the core strength of the Eternal Heaven God Realm and a cornerstone-like existence, while the latter is the arm of the Eternal Heaven God Realm that maintains the order of the Eastern God Territory.

Of these two people, the old man in white robes is none other than the leader of all the guardians, [Reverend Taiyu]. His status and cultivation are second only to the Eternal Heaven Divine Emperor in the Eternal Heaven God Realm.

The middle-aged man in black was the chief judge who presided over the Xuanshen Conference that year—Reverend Quhui.

It was rare for them to be summoned by the Eternal Heaven God Realm at the same time.

“You’re here.” The Emperor of Eternal Heaven turned around, his expression still solemn.

"The Lord called the two of us here, it must be something important." Venerable Taiyu said, and Venerable Quhui nodded at the same time.

"It is indeed a big event. It is not about our Eternal Heaven God Realm, but a big event that concerns the fate of the Eastern Divine Territory." The Eternal Heaven God Realm exhaled slightly: "Today, a large number of star realms in the Eastern Territory suddenly erupted in a tide of beasts. You must have heard about this."

Venerable Taiyu's eyes moved: "Could it be that the Lord knows the cause of this matter?"

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor nodded slowly, then turned his gaze to the east again, his face showing a heaviness that the world could not understand: "The root of all this is the scarlet crack on the wall of chaos."

The expressions of Venerable Taiyu and Venerable Quhui changed slightly at the same time.

"This... how could it be possible?" Even at the level of the two great venerables, they were unable to understand this sentence.

"After discovering the strange crack in the Chaos Wall, Fantian and I had many speculations. On the eve of the Conferred God Battle, we announced various speculations and possible final results on the Conferred God Platform... But three years ago, after sending a group of chosen sons of heaven into the Eternal Heaven God Realm, I got a possibility that was a million times more terrifying than the 'worst result', and this possibility has become closer and closer to the fact in just three short years."

"What's possible?" asked Venerable Taiyu in a deep voice.

“The crimson crack is not a natural disaster, but a grudge that originated in ancient times but has affected the present.” The Eternal Heaven God Emperor said in a heavy voice, but did not elaborate: “I can tell you now that the sudden turmoil of profound beasts in those star realms was affected by a demonic energy. That demonic energy has [extremely heavy hatred], and its source... is the crack on the wall of chaos!”

“What!?” Taiyu and Quhui were instantly shocked. Venerable Taiyu immediately frowned and shook his head: “This is impossible! If there really is such a demonic energy, how could I not feel it at all?”

Venerable Taiyu is absolutely qualified to say this, because he is the only tenth-level God Lord in the Eternal Heaven God Realm besides the Eternal Heaven God Emperor. He is truly at the ultimate level and naturally has the most pinnacle spiritual perception in the world.

“Alas,” the Eternal Heaven God Emperor sighed, “Because the level of that demonic energy is too high, even you and I have no way of detecting it.”

Venerable Taiyu: “…”

"Now, only the mysterious beasts are affected. Perhaps it won't take too long before humans will be affected without realizing it, and the impact will become more and more serious. These are not my conjectures, but... the words of the ancestors."

"Ancestor...?"

These two words shocked the leaders of the two guardians and judges. They all lowered their heads involuntarily at the same moment, even though they had never bowed before the Eternal Sky God Emperor.

If these were really the words of the "ancestor", then even if they were ten times more unbelievable, they would definitely not have the slightest doubt.

"Too fast... too fast..." He repeated it twice, feeling worried. Although the existence of the Crimson Crack had been made public three years ago, few people really took it seriously. As the only one who knew the truth, he was burdened with a heavy pressure that others could not imagine.

Just today, the mysterious beast riot in the Eastern Divine Region suddenly broke out without any warning... It was really too fast, so fast that even he, and the "ancestor" he mentioned, were caught off guard.

Indeed, if it really is "that" level of power, how could they understand and predict it.

"I have called you here today because I have a great task for you to do."

There was no need for the Emperor of Heaven to say more. The "big event" he mentioned would affect the future of the Eastern Divine Region. Venerable Taiyu and Venerable Quhui listened in awe: "Taiyu, put the matter of the Evil Infant aside for now. You will immediately go to the Brahma Emperor and Moon God Realms in person. At the same time, send people to the various upper star realms as soon as possible. Use the power of all the king realms and upper star realms to build a dimensional formation leading to the Far East of Chaos!"

"This...!!" Venerable Taiyu raised his head suddenly. At his level, he had seen all kinds of space arrays. However, the Far East of Chaos was so far away... The dimensional array connected to the Far East of Chaos was almost equivalent to breaking through half of the Chaos Space! !

This is an unimaginably large project.

“No need to say more.” The Eternal Heaven God Emperor knew what he would say, and raised his hand slightly: “This must be completed, and it must be completed within a year. Tell all the upper star realms that this is not a negotiation, but an order... Even if you have to give the strongest threats.”

This matter concerns the life and death of the Eastern Divine Territory, and no one can stay out of it.

"..." Looking at the face of the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, the shock on Venerable Taiyu's face gradually faded, and then he nodded solemnly: "I understand."

"We, Zhou Tian, should set an example and sacrifice all the divine crystals accumulated over the past hundreds of thousands of years... Yes, all of them, without any reservations!"

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor said this shocking sentence in a decisive manner, without any regret or hesitation: "After you finish this, you will go to the king realms of the western and southern divine realms for help, and you will go there in person."

Venerable Taiyu raised his hands and said, "I will never disgrace you."

Venerable Taiyu went there in person, which not only gave enough face, but also told the three divine realms the seriousness of the matter.

“Okay.” The Eternal Heaven God Emperor nodded slightly: “One year… I hope it will be in time…”

But even if it was in time, it would only be a slim chance...

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled violently, and his face was instantly covered with a layer of terrifying black air.

"My Lord!"

Taiyu and Quhui were shocked and hurried forward.

The face of the Eternal Heaven God Emperor was filled with incomparable pain. He tapped his heart with his fingers several times. Finally, his chest caved in and a large mouthful of scarlet black blood spurted out. The black aura on his face finally faded a little.

"Master, are you okay?" Venerable Taiyu said worriedly.

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor took a deep breath and said, “The power of the Evil Infant is far more terrifying than I expected, as it corrodes the bones and leaves a residual heart. I originally thought that with my ability, I could resolve it in three to five years at most, but now it seems... I’m afraid it may take another ten years..."

"Quhui, this is exactly why I summoned you here."

The Venerable Quhui said: "Please let me know, my Lord."

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor said slowly, “Although the power of the Evil Infant is terrifying, if I am given time, I can always eliminate it completely. However, the current situation is special, and I have to bear the brunt of it and shoulder everything. I can no longer bear the current situation, so I have to ask for the favor of the Western Region Dragon Queen this time even if I don’t want to.”

The favor from the Dragon Queen of the Western Regions... that is the most precious favor in the world.

Only her unique light power could easily dissolve the terrible evil energy that invaded his body in a short period of time.

"I understand." Qu Hui accepted the order: "I will leave now to seek an audience with the Dragon King of the Western Regions."

“Go ahead.” said the Eternal Heaven God Emperor. Given the current situation, they really couldn’t delay any longer.

Taiyu and Quhui took the order and left. Their moods were countless times heavier than when they came.

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor did not leave. He coughed violently, and a look of pain flashed across his face from time to time. However, the torture of the Evil Infant's power was far less than the heaviness in his heart.

He had to prepare everything, even if it was just an extremely slim and powerless preparation. But he couldn't tell the truth before then, because once the horrible truth spread, it would cause an extremely huge panic in the Eastern Divine Region and even the Three Divine Regions. That kind of terror would turn countless lives into lunatics... The consequences would undoubtedly be disastrous.

“The ancestor’s words cannot be wrong. Could it really be… a catastrophe that will end the world…” The Eternal Sky God Emperor looked up at the sky. As the God Emperor of the Eastern Region, his voice was so powerless and sad… It even revealed an extremely deep sense of gloom and despair.
