Chapter 372 - 372: Calamity Descends (2)
Boom. The stone tablet emitted waves of light. The rich spiritual energy of the five continents and four seas gathered crazily, and the sky began to flicker with seven-colored light.
Zhongsheng Continent.
True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters
At the entrance of the side hall, Shen Ping’s expression was solemn as he looked up at the vast and dark airflow in the sky.
Suddenly, rain poured down. Yu Qingling and the Holy Maiden, who were standing beside Shen Ping, stretched out their hands, and the rainwater dripping from their palms actually turned into blood.
“This is a rain of blood!” The two women looked at each other in shock. A rain of blood fell from the sky. This was the first time they had encountered it.
“Master once said that every time a meteor streaked across the night sky of the five continents and four seas, it meant that a Nascent Soul senior had died…”
He listened to the voice in his ear. Shen Ping could not help but recall what Yu Yan had said back at Cloud Mountain Parlour. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly left the side hall.
A moment later, he saw the Head Palace Master sitting beside the stone platform in a daze in the Jingsi House. Before he could speak, a gentle voice sounded, “Disciple, just now, your martial uncle died.”
Shen Ping was stunned on the spot. The majestic figure wearing a ferocious blood-colored mask immediately appeared in front of him. Although he had only met his Martial Uncle once, he could really feel the anticipation and concern in the other party’s words.
Unexpectedly, that meeting was actually a farewell.
When he came back to his senses, he looked at his master in a daze. He wanted to ask how it was possible for his martial uncle to die with his cultivation and strength, but he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
As the graceful figure stood up and took a step, the surrounding environment quickly disappeared. Shen Ping quickly realized that he was standing on the sea of clouds. A gentle voice sounded in his ear. “Your master died for the sake of the five continents and four seas. This is his home and his mission!”
Shen Ping took a deep breath and was about to speak when his pupils reflected a large number of phantoms in the vast and dark airflow in the sky. “That, that’s…”
“Derivative Beast! Disciple, the calamity of the five continents and four seas has begun.”
Whoosh. When the phantom gradually became clear, the beasts that covered the sky and earth poured down from the sky like locusts. Among them, there were strange rocks, mud beasts, strange snakes, mountain eagles, mountain monsters, and even larger creatures. They roared and shook the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When a large number of Derivative Beasts landed, they quickly charged into the array above the island. As soon as hundreds of thousands of Derivative Beasts touched the array, they directly turned into nothingness. Layers of ripple light also spread out from the surface of the array.
At this moment, the Moon Spirit Main Hall, the Chen Yao Main Hall, and the other twelve main halls, as well as the Mountain Fire Hall, Dan Hai Hall, Huayun Hall, Sword Hall, and more than 40 other hall-level factions, as well as many pavilion-level, boat-level, and other high-level elders and hall masters under their jurisdiction, rushed into the sea of clouds and floated beside the Head Hall Master.
When Shen Ping looked at the Head Hall Master again, he saw the palace dress take a step forward. Immediately, the palace dress seemed to burn. As the flames rose, a huge warm white throne slowly appeared. The originally dignified and virtuous face instantly changed.
Holy, dignified, charming, and other different faces appeared one after another. Waves of majestic aura spread out with the warm white light. “Everyone, the calamity of the five continents and four seas has arrived. Anyone above the Nascent Soul realm, follow me out of the array to kill the enemy!”
“Yes, Head Hall Master!”
“Kill!”
A deafening killing intent reverberated in the sea of clouds. Streams of light faced the Derivative Beasts that surged out from the horizon. Almost instantly, dozens of figures turned into flesh and blood under the bombardment of the huge Derivative Beasts.
However, there were still Nascent Soul members rushing up from the various halls and pavilions. They seemed unafraid of death. It was as if they had forgotten the cultivation path of cherishing one’s life.
“This… is the True Treasure Pavilion!” Shen Ping looked at the blood rain above the array. His blood seemed to be boiling.
The Eastern District of the Supreme Darkness Abyss.
The vast oval continent floated in the clouds of the sea of stars. This was originally a relatively prosperous cultivation place with a large number of cultivators from various races. However, at this moment, the spiritual energy on this continent was completely exhausted and lifeless.
A huge mountain peak floated in the center of the continent. This mountain was in the form of a skeleton, and its empty eyes were flickering with blood flames.
“Strange Beast Roar activated. Specific location locked. Will reach in three years.” Accompanied by a low voice, waves of different voices gathered and roared, “Go, my children, bring the strange beast back.”
Whoosh.
Suddenly, countless skeletons appeared on the surface of the continent and attached themselves to the skeleton mountain. They turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sea of stars.
In the North District.
Phantoms floated in the air in the majestic palace hidden in the void.
“Ancestor, the strange beast roar has appeared again. I’ve already confirmed its exact location, but that place is very far from our area. If we rely on flying, it will take nearly a hundred years to reach it!”
The old figure sitting in the middle of the palace was silent for a moment before saying, “Speed up as much as possible without exposing the traces of our race. We can teleport over a short distance and arrive as soon as possible!”
“Yes!”
Half a month later, Zhongsheng Continent.
Densely packed Derivative Beasts continued to surge out from the horizon. However, compared to the first day, there were no powerful giants among these Derivative Beasts. Most of them were just jagged rocks, swamps, strange snakes, and other Derivative Beasts. Although there seemed to be a huge number, they could be easily killed by the power of the array on the island..
