The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 296 The First Yang Awakens, the First Yin Sprouts

Over 710,000 years into the Mythical Era, a great age emerged, with all races vying for supremacy. Trial paths scattered throughout the starry sky welcomed wave after wave of prodigies.

Against this backdrop, the cultivation world of Ziwei Star was also in turmoil.

In the western lands of China, friction gradually arose between the Flying Goose Sect and the ferocious beast clan.

Initially, the leaders of both sides did not take it to heart, because the grudges between humans and ferocious beasts had been long-standing, and several major wars had taken place in history in order to compete for living space.

What was initially thought to be a minor conflict has gradually escalated into discontent as various mysterious deaths of mid-level cultivators from both major powers have occurred.

Gradually, higher-ups finally realized something was wrong and began an investigation in an attempt to control the situation.

However, it was too late. From a certain day, the Holy Son of the Flying Goose Sect mysteriously disappeared in the Great Wilderness, severing all contact.

When his body was discovered, it had already been torn into fragments of the Holy Son, a gruesome sight.

After on-site investigation and divination, all clues pointed to the ferocious beast clan as expected.

Surprisingly, when confronted by the Flying Phoenix Sect, the ferocious beast clan not only vehemently denied the allegations but also brought up other old cases to counter-accuse them.

Both sides stuck to their own versions of events and argued sharply.

At this point, the situation began to develop in ways that were not expected, eventually leading to a tense standoff.

In an instant, undercurrents surged underground, and the shadow of a great battle began to rise, shrouding the entire western land of China.

It wasn't that no clever people noticed the oddities; on the contrary, the powerful figures of the Flying Goose Sect and the ferocious beast clan all knew that there must be a third party stirring up trouble behind the scenes and framing them.

However, none of this matters anymore.

As the saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day. With the gradual recovery of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the human race and the ferocious beast race had long been dissatisfied with the status quo and had begun to consider war.

The ferocious beast clan needed to expand their living space and leave the Great Wilderness; while the Flying Goose Sect wanted to expand its sphere of influence, so they set their sights on the spiritual veins of the Great Wilderness. The two sides were of one mind.

There is one more thing worth mentioning.
One crucial reason why the Fei Hong Sect adopted such a tough stance was that they received covert support from the Cang Xuan Sect.

The fact that the Cangxuan Sect, which has always been aloof and rarely interferes in the conflicts of the cultivation world, was willing to get involved gave the higher-ups of the Feihong Sect a lot of confidence.

In comparison, the fall of their own holy son seemed less important. Apart from serving as a perfect excuse to start a war, almost no one bothered to investigate the real reason for his demise.

……

this day,
The Flying Goose Sect in the western Divine Continent shone with boundless brilliance, with Saint Kings and even Great Saint-level powerhouses awakening. Their terrifying holy might swept across the mountains and rivers, and their rumbling Daoist voices were like thunderclaps from the heavens.

"The ferocious beast race slaughters our human race, they are cruel and ruthless!"

"Today, our Flying Goose Sect, bound by blood, resolves to pacify the Great Wilderness. All human cultivators, those who wield blades, shall follow us into battle; those who are cowardly shall retreat."

“Any force or individual that dares to interfere will be targeted.”

The proclamation of war was widely circulated, and the whole country was shaken.

Everyone turned pale at the mention of it, shocked by the audacity of the Flying Goose Sect, which had actually provoked a war.

"Flying Goose Sect, you're quite something. It seems you're determined to break ties with my ferocious beast clan!"

Deep within the Great Wilderness, the powerful members of the ferocious beast clan also awakened collectively, breaking free from their divine source.

Among them, seven creatures were the most terrifying, casting large shadows on the ground like giant mountains.

asphyxia!

This is the feeling of many human powerhouses. They never expected that the ferocious beast clan, which has lived in the Great Wilderness for generations, would accumulate such terrifying strength silently. There are as many as seven Great Saints.

Looking at the cultivation world of Ziwei Star, this has surpassed most sects and holy lands, and is enough to squeeze into the top five.

The ferocious beast clan was blatantly flexing their muscles, exuding an overwhelming aura that silenced many cultivators.

"We are already sworn enemies, no need for further words, let's settle this with our skills!" The current leader of the Flying Goose Sect said indifferently, his face expressionless.

At this point, any words are futile; only when one side falls and the blood runs dry can the truth prevail.

Thus, a great war broke out.

The Flying Goose Sect, in alliance with some smaller sects in the western continent, launched a surprise attack on the Great Wilderness and engaged in fierce battles with the ferocious beast clan.

In this battle, cultivators below the Immortal Realm were used as soldiers, and saints were used as generals. Countless weapons and killing formations were deployed, and the resources consumed were immeasurable.

Regardless of the outcome, it has already sent shivers down the spines of the Ziwei Star Region; it can absolutely be described as a cataclysmic event.

"Kill!"

Deep in the wilderness, corpses littered the ground, and blood flowed like rivers.

Iron cavalry were everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground, their banners fluttering and their battle cries shaking the heavens.

After an initial period of evenly matched strength, some human lineages from the other four regions of Ziwei Star began to actively join in.

The moment these people appeared, the balance of power on the battlefield instantly tilted in favor of the Flying Goose Sect.

Outnumbered, the ferocious beasts were no match for the enemy and gradually retreated.

However, they also have help from other sources of life outside their domain.

It was a colossal beast that had reached the quasi-celestial realm, stretching across the starry sea, devouring the heavens and the earth.

However, just when everyone thought the situation was about to turn around.

The Cangxuan Sect, which had been silent until now, finally made its move, sending out a powerful old monster who, wielding the Cangxuan Furnace, suppressed and killed the giant beast in the starry sky.

"Roar……"

Only a mournful cry could be heard coming from the top of the sky, which lingered for a long time.

Months after being ground into mincemeat, the death of this cosmic behemoth directly declared victory.

Immediately, the massive army charged forward, completely breaching the core sanctuary of the ferocious beast clan.

……

No war is ever beautiful; only those who have participated in it can understand that it is full of killing and death, forming a blood-stained picture scroll, and the scene in a moment is enough to suffocate you.

However, even in this dangerous environment, a group of exceptional individuals not only survived but also stood out and gained widespread attention.

As for the most outstanding among them, it is undoubtedly the brother and sister pair Shao Ying and Shao Yang.

Despite being rogue cultivators without any background, their physiques were inexplicably much stronger than those of cultivators at the same level, even surpassing many holy sons from holy lands.

The elder sister activated the Yin essence, while the younger brother displayed the Sun's holy power. Almost simultaneously, they broke through in the battle and advanced to the Saint realm.

Such amazing talent naturally attracted the attention of many people. Moreover, the scriptures they cultivated were extremely profound, not inferior to the Cangxuan Heavenly Art.

Soon, rumors began to circulate that the siblings' inheritance might be related to the legendary Boundless Heavenly Venerable.

After all, that one achieved the Chaos Body through his unparalleled talent, reversed Yin and Yang, and broke free from chaos. More importantly, he did not leave behind his supreme scriptures.

Therefore, even before the war ended, some people secretly contacted the siblings with ulterior motives and ill intentions.

……

Finally, the truth could not be hidden any longer.

The truth about Shao Ying and Shao Yang killing the Holy Son of the Flying Phoenix Sect and framing the Beast Clan has been exposed. However, the Beast Clan has already been defeated, all the strongmen have died, and only a bunch of weaklings remain.

Nevertheless, no one was willing to grant them a pardon; they were all after the scriptures of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, or at least to study the siblings' constitutions.

After all, so many people died, and as the instigator, he has to bear some responsibility.

From that moment on, Shao Ying and Shao Yang were forced onto a path where they faced enemies from all corners of the world, surrounded by greedy people.

Fortunately, an old monster from the Cangxuan Sect spoke up, allowing only those of the same generation or realm to fight, and forbidding the weak from bullying the strong. This gave the siblings a chance to catch their breath.

What happened next is known to the world.

In countless battles, the siblings joined forces, becoming invincible and forging a glorious path.

When they attained enlightenment, the Yin-Yang Annihilation Thunder Tribulation swept across the universe, terrifying all living beings.

Since the Eternal Tribulation and the Boundless Chaos, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have ushered in the third era of the dual radiance of the two supreme beings.

Their honorific titles are: Lesser Yin Heavenly Venerable and Lesser Yang Heavenly Venerable.
