Destiny is ashes

Chapter 994 The Great Project of Mending the Heavens (33)

[What's so special about this? It's just a pseudo-Lingxiao with the battle power of a Celestial Venerable. If it really comes down to a fight, it'll be like when the Four Saints of Tianyuan easily wiped out the Nine Great Demon Saints—oh right, you weren't there back then.]

Haotian Mirror, however, remained unconcerned. "In short, you are still young and unaware of the ancient times. During the Great Calamity of the Heavenly Demons, all the major sects of Huaixu unleashed their full power. For a top sect like the Heavenly Sect, producing a dozen or so Heavenly Venerable-level warriors is not difficult."

Even the Heavenly Origin Realm, a purely logistical world, was able to give rise to dozens of Celestial Venerables and a wealth of powerful resources when it served as a central logistics hub.

Ultimately, as long as one disregards the cost, consequences, foundation, and future, simply creating 'methods' with destructive power at the Celestial Venerable level is a piece of cake for truly top-tier sects... Especially since I see that the current leader of the Blood Sea Demon Sect, the First Cult Master, has completely lost the will to live; it's either achieve enlightenment or die trying!

Moreover, it appears that the Blood Sea Demonic Sect has indeed joined forces with the True Demonic Sect. Those Blood Sea spawn provide an endless supply of power and energy, while the wills of numerous Great Heavenly Demons reside within them, serving as their core. Currently, all sects are exerting their utmost efforts to eradicate the 'Blood Sea Soil,' but this is not a task that can be accomplished overnight.

Seemingly sensing Ming Heguang's profound shock, Haotianjing comforted him, saying, "As for our sect, you need not worry. The situation is alright now. After all, as you know, our Mingjing Sect is sparsely populated; there are hardly any living people left. Most of them are puppets whose bodies are not very sensitive to blood energy."

—The path to ascension to immortality actually has this effect?

Once he was certain that his sect was temporarily safe, Minghe Guang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

He opened his eyes, took a sip of wine to calm himself, and turned to look at Zhou Jin.

The warrior, having regained his composure, sharpened his gaze: "Your mission over there is probably also related to the Blood Sea Demonic Sect!"

At this moment, Zhou Jin also had a solemn expression, clearly having learned about the Blood Sea Calamity through Jin Yuantian's channels.

He nodded emphatically at Minghe Guang's words: "That's right. Our mission is to completely liberate the 'Ancestral Dragon Scale'."

"What?" Even though he had heard many bombshell announcements, Akira was still surprised: "Liberation? Why?"

“Now that things have come to this, there’s no harm in saying it.” Zhou Jin said in a deep voice, “The Heavenly Dao of the Huai Xu Realm is actually very weak. The Demon Tribulation War shattered the central core of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Demons have been eroding it for hundreds of thousands of years, which has long made the Heavenly Dao unbearable.”

"Our ultimate mission is to mend the sky!"

"According to our research, the [First Generation from Nothingness] is not such a simple destiny. As the origin of all living beings in the Huai Xu Realm, the core scales left behind by the 'Ancestral Dragon' most likely contain the most original 'Huai Xu Primal Data'. As long as we obtain it and analyze it, we might be able to find a way to repair the Heavenly Dao!"

The true spirit will not fall.

[Tier 6 Quest]

To further their path, the Blood Sea Demonic Sect and the Heavenly Demon joined forces, using countless living beings as materials to prove the Great Dao of Life and verify the Method of the Complete Spirit. This method melts countless beings into one, and from one, countless others are derived, and countless others are derived again, thus corresponding to all the principles of the Heavenly Dao. This method delves into the very foundation of the Great Dao, intending to regard the 'Lord of Heavenly Emperor - Spirit of the Heavenly Dao' as a kind of life, and replace it with the 'Crimson Evolution Divine One Complete Spirit Great Heavenly Emperor', thereby transcending the limitations of the Heavenly Dao and attaining the realm above the Heavenly Court.

However, this method is also a method of both the Holy and the Demonic. If the Blood Sea Demonic Cult obtains the Ancestral Dragon Scale and the original model of all living beings, the 'Primordial God-Man,' then the day when the Dao of the Complete Spirit is perfected will be the day when the Heavenly Dao Holy Demon is born.

"This is too difficult."

Ming and Guang muttered to themselves, while Zhou Jin forced a smile: "It's difficult, but Jin Yuantian won't give us a task that we can't complete. Not to mention your ridiculously strong junior nephew, we also have a Heavenly Venerable and our ultimate trump card behind us!"

—Just as I suspected, the mysterious organization behind Zhou Jin also has a Celestial Venerable, who should be the last of the seventeen Celestial Venerables besides the Ancestor!

After calming himself down, Ming and Guang realized that they had probably been drawn into the 'First Calamity of the Great Era of Emptiness': "It seems that the core of everything lies in the Ancestral Dragon Scale."

"Nephew, our mission is truly arduous," he murmured to himself. "Indeed," a soft, dragon-like voice echoed from the void, tinged with emotion, "Following An Jing, there are indeed many great things to accomplish!"

"Actually, our task is very simple."

After pondering for a while, seemingly organizing his plans, Zhou Jin raised his head and looked towards the direction of the forbidden areas in the distance. He said in a deep voice, "As long as we don't let the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Sea Demon Sect get the Ancestral Dragon Scale, it will be fine. The Scale Realm is a territory that the Blood Sea Demon Sect cannot reach. They will definitely need time to build up their power."

"Therefore, we only need to play a supporting role to speed up An Jing and the others' progress in obtaining the Ancestral Dragon Scale... Simply put, we need to find and defeat those Forbidden Land Lords and Ancestral Spirits as quickly as possible!"

"Then what's there to say?" Minghe Guang said decisively, "Let's go!"

The two figures vanished in a flash.

Outside, the Blood Sea Calamity has begun, and the entire Huai Xu Realm is shrouded in a crimson shadow.

At the eye of the storm, within the Zhaolin Realm, crimson was also spreading.

A corner of the Zhaolin world.

some time ago.

Above the sky, the enormous golden-winged roc moved with lightning speed, its wings outstretched, covering dozens of miles in an instant.

On its back, Anjing and Youruhui were heading towards the dwelling place of a 'Seven Luminaries Ancestral Spirit' under Su Xinbai's guidance.

"Strange, I have a feeling of impending doom?"

On Dapeng's back, An Jing frowned slightly. It wasn't even a smell, but rather an indescribable premonition after attaining the 'Way of Sex'.

The scent was faint, masked by the vibrant life and spiritual energy of the Zhaolin Realm, as well as the fierce battles brought about by the survival of the fittest among living beings, but it still couldn't escape his perception.

"Great Roc, turn around."

Without the slightest hesitation, An Jing gave the order. The Golden-Winged Roc understood immediately, its massive body tracing a smooth arc in the air, instantly deviating from the direction Su Xinbai had originally guided it.

Su Xinbai had no objection to this. In fact, the moment An Jing spoke, both she and Jin Yanhua's expressions froze, and they sensed that feeling.

"It's the Blood Sea Demonic Cult!" Jin Yanhua frowned slightly, gripping his spear tightly. "What are they up to now?"

—Anyway, it's definitely not a good thing.

As the roc flew rapidly, the feeling became increasingly pronounced in a short time. Soon, An Jing clearly perceived the faint roars of battle and desperate cries coming from afar.

He closed his eyes, and the distant scene was instantly and clearly reflected in his mind.

Inside a secluded forest, in the center of a ravaged valley, the stench of blood rose into the sky, transforming into a visible pale red mist that enveloped the surrounding area. Meanwhile, a large number of bloodshot-eyed, strangely expressionless demonic beasts, along with two enormous Great Wilderness Dragons, were frantically attacking a human cultivator's camp.
