Above the heavens of the Celestial Profound Divine Realm.
Three blood moons lined up in a row, their crimson light cascading down like a waterfall of blood!
"Splash—"
Large black raindrops pelted the earth, and the monks were horrified to discover this.
Any living thing that gets wet from the raindrops will have its skin instantly petrified, and its flesh and blood will turn into a cold, black stone statue in just a few breaths!
"Run! Run now!"
"This rain is strange! We can't get wet!"
In the middle region, Jiuli Divine Dynasty.
Inside the capital, the old emperor stood before the palace.
He watched helplessly as his guards stood frozen in place, turning into black stone statues.
He looked down at the bronze mirror in his hand.
The image reflected in the mirror sent chills down his spine—
Thirty-three divine palaces collapsed, and countless members of the divine race were devoured by an incomparably dark power. The Heavenly Profound Divine Realm is following in its footsteps!
"Gu Xuan... what exactly did you release when you completed the Great Dao?!"
......
At the same time, above the Great Thunder Temple.
Terrifying bronze chains stretched across the sky!
The figure wearing the bronze mask stood on the void, with the phantoms of the eighteen levels of hell churning beneath his feet.
He raised his hand and waved.
The eighty-one golden statues of Arhats shattered instantly, turning into a shower of golden dust!
"After slumbering for millennia, I have finally awakened today."
The masked man's voice was hoarse, yet thunderous, "The Heavenly Profound Divine Realm... will become the new Dark Divine Kingdom!"
Behind him, countless soldiers wearing black masks stepped out of the void.
Each one had a bronze lamp embedded in its chest, and the flames burning within... were actually the cultivator's soul!
"boom--"
The sky above the Heavenly Profound Divine Realm.
At that very moment, a hideous crack suddenly appeared!
The crimson black mist cascaded down like a waterfall, causing the earth to decay wherever it passed, and the celestial energy to turn into deadly poison.
"Ah! My hand—"
A Spirit Transformation Realm Garan screamed in agony!
His arm was stained with black raindrops.
Flesh and blood instantly solidified, turning into cold stone.
Even more terrifying is that... he was still conscious, watching helplessly as his body was gradually eroded by the black power!
"This isn't rain...it's some kind of living thing!"
A Bodhisattva's eyes were bloodshot, and the vajra in his hand emitted a thousand feet of Buddhist light, but it could not break through the black rain curtain that filled the sky.
Above the Great Thunder Temple.
The figure wearing a bronze mask let out a hoarse laugh: "The Dark Age... has finally arrived."
......
at the same time.
The land of Guixu, deep within.
The mysterious figure in black robes stood beneath the World Tree, his gaze icy.
Beneath his feet, the earth had become transparent, with countless black pillars rooted in the ground, pulsating as if they were alive.
Lan Ruoli covered the newborn hand with her palm, the tree-shaped mark on her palm burning hot.
She asked in a trembling voice, "Senior, what... exactly are these black pillars?"
The man in black robes remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The remains of the Demon Court."
"What?!"
"Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, there once stood an ancient demon court that ruled over all realms, but one day it suddenly collapsed."
The man in black robes had deep eyes. "The Demon Court fell, breaking into countless fragments, the largest of which... is buried at the core of the Heavenly Profound Realm."
Lan Ruoli's pupils constricted sharply: "So... the World Tree suppressed..."
"It's the darkness of the Demon Court that has corrupted it."
The man in black robes said coldly, "And I am the sole survivor of the Demon Court."
Upon hearing this...
Lan Ruoli felt a chill run through her body, but she still asked, "Senior, what do we do now?"
The man in black robes slowly raised his hand, and a pitch-black Dao seal appeared in his palm, radiating an aura of destruction.
"The completion of the Great Dao has ironically accelerated the erosion of the Dark Origin."
His gaze was icy. "If this is allowed to spread, within three days, all living beings in the Heavenly Profound Divine Realm... will be transformed into dark puppets."
Lan Ruoli's heart pounded: "You want..."
"Two choices."
The black-robed man's voice was eerily calm, "Firstly, I personally destroyed the World Tree, allowing the darkness and corruption to be completely annihilated."
"And the second one?"
The man in black robes raised his eyes, gazing into the void beneath the blood moon: "Find the truth behind the collapse of the Demon Court, and before everything is beyond repair... sever the source!"
Speaking of which...
He slowly raised his hand, and the pitch-black Dao seal in his palm exuded an aura of destruction.
Lan Ruoli trembled all over: "Senior... are you really going to destroy the World Tree?"
The man in black robes remained silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "You thought I was doing this to save the Heavenly Profound Realm?"
He suddenly ripped open his robe at the chest—and there, embedded in the heart, was an ancient bronze lamp!
In the flickering light, countless distorted faces could be vaguely seen wailing.
"I was there 330,000 years ago, on the day the Demon Court collapsed."
The black-robed man's voice was icy cold, "Because... I am the culprit who caused the destruction of the Demon Court!"
Images of memory surfaced in his pupils—
Inside the vast demon palace, countless demon immortals are holding a grand sacrificial ceremony to the heavens.
Meanwhile, a handsome young man dressed in black, holding an ancient bronze lamp, quietly slipped into the center of the altar.
"The Demon Court has ruled the Thirty-Three Heavens for too long; it's time for a change of masters."
He slammed the lamp down onto the altar, and the black flame instantly surged, transforming into countless black tentacles that entangled the nearest demon immortal.
Those high and mighty demon lords.
Before they could even scream, they were turned into black stone statues!
