Chapter 978: Chapter 734: Return to the Black Iron World (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2
Wang Heng slapped his chest and suddenly laughed, "Actually, I’ve always wondered why those from the Dragon Clan bother at all. With the end of days approaching, why bother... why bother..."
He sighed and laughed twice in succession. Even they, the humans, had reached a consensus with the Moxu Clan; a truce was now in place, mainly because the end of The Fifth Era was imminent. It could be said that all worlds were starting to be shrouded in an anxious atmosphere, with no one in the mood for waging wars or fighting to the death against other forces.
Once the decision was made, they immediately began preparations. The Black Warriors joined hands and drew an enormous charm array at the center of "Black Martial City." Su Yu sat cross-legged at the center of this charm array, beginning to sense the reliant skull placed in "Black Iron World’s" Black Iron City.
"Ada, what do we do next?" Su Yu could sense the reliant skull, but he had no idea what to do next, nor how to traverse the void and return to the "Black Iron World." His realm had still not reached the likes of the Golden Eagle-Headed Being or the Pillar God Maya, who could freely cross between worlds.
Traversing worlds required a certain realm, not just sheer power.
Ada’s voice echoed in his mind, "Don’t worry, have you forgotten our Category 5 Lifeforms’ miraculous abilities? As long as we have your reliant skull, crossing worlds is very simple for me. Everyone who is willing to come should step inside." With the last sentence, Ada suddenly let out a long howl, and in the next moment, its body transformed into a fifty-meter-long black creature. With all four hooves on the ground and a tail of dark flame sweeping slightly, the creature’s hooves were also ablaze with black flames; even from its nostrils, flames lingered, making it look immensely mighty.
This was Ada in its true form upon reaching the ninth phase of growth, having grown to a length of fifty meters. But this was still not Ada’s true form.
Legend had it that only upon reaching maturity, Category 5 Lifeforms would reveal their true form. But what exactly would Ada look like when it reached maturity?
Su Yu looked at Ada with curiosity. Even though Ada’s strength was still restricted by the innate curse of Category 5 Lifeforms, he could vaguely sense the infinite life force and the terrifying energy contained within Ada. However, its power remained constrained.
Qin Jiagui, Qing Huang, Wang Heng, Zhang Kuo, Ming Jing, Qi Ming, and nearly a thousand Black Warriors surged in one after another.
Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Phoenix Clan, including Wu Yu, Qing Ying, and the Yellow-robed Elder who decided to stay behind, waved goodbye. Soon after, Ada let out a long howl, and the charm array began to flicker and glow, enveloping everyone within it.
As for Qing Ying’s poison curse, not only had Qing Huang still not found a remedy, but even Su Yu’s discreet inquiries to Tezcatlipoca resulted in the answer that the poison curse was not planted by the Dragon Clan but emitted an aura of Darkness power similar to the aura of Wu Yu’s half-wing of Darkness.
This answer surprised Su Yu greatly. Qing Ying’s poison curse had an aura of Darkness? This made him recall what the Yellow-robed Elder once mentioned about Darkness aura surging from the world in the south following Wu Yu’s birth, ultimately disrupting the descent of the Vermilion Bird in the current era by adding a wing of Darkness.
Previously, Su Yu hadn’t given much thought to this matter as it didn’t concern him directly, but now, upon hearing from Tezcatlipoca that Qing Ying’s poison curse also carried a Darkness aura, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of eeriness. He started to realize there might be a terrifying hidden story unknown to outsiders. However, he wasn’t voicing his suspicions for the time being and had not mentioned it to Qing Huang either.
There would be time for investigation in the future, but not now. The most critical task at the moment was to prepare for the approaching end of The Fifth Era in just over ten days. He needed to find his family, his parents, his older sister.
Ada let out a long howl, and its fifty-meter body shifted, causing the charm beneath to emit a strong light that shot into the sky, quickly transforming into a beam of light connecting heaven and earth, enveloping Su Yu, Qin Jiagui, Qing Huang, the Black Warriors, and the others within it.
Within this pillar of light, the charms began to rotate, and the ground started to collapse downwards, creating a "Heaven’s Pit."
It was Ada’s power that summoned this "Heaven’s Pit." With Ada reaching the ninth phase of growth, the power of its summoned "Heaven’s Pit" had also become extremely formidable. The massive pit, taking nearly a thousand Black Warriors along with Su Yu and the others, relied on the skull as its coordinate, as the transport power of the Category 5 Lifeform began to exert its great effect.
In the midst of beams of light, Su Yu and others could clearly feel the surroundings growing continuously darker. Suddenly, flashes of bright light started flickering and shooting upward. In an instant, the world around them expanded vastly in size—a vast world shrouded in endless darkness, where towering bronze-colored pillars reached up to the heavens.
"Bronze Towers? Are those Bronze Towers?" Su Yu couldn’t help but exclaim, as Qin Jiagui said in disbelief, "Can it be? The Bronze Towers we entered before, were they those bronze light pillars?"
The lights shooting around were incredibly fast, allowing Qin Jiagui and the others only a fleeting glimpse. They could only see the bronze-colored light pillars, among which streaked colorful bright lights, like a sky full of stars falling.
Suddenly, the surroundings were plunged into deep darkness. Immediately after that, Ada’s figure shrank down, transforming back into a tiny speck that jumped onto Su Yu’s shoulder, while the Su Yu, who was sitting cross-legged, stood up. This was because he felt that the head skull, the thing they relied upon, was right in front of them.
The original darkness quickly turned to brightness. Soon, a loud gasp of "Ah" was heard as two guards dressed in black clothes stared with wide eyes, dumbstruck at the crowd that had suddenly surged in front of them.
"We’re back!" Qin Jiagui suddenly shouted. As the light before his eyes grew brighter and he steadied himself, he immediately realized that he and the others had appeared in the great hall of Black Iron City. Luckily the hall was vast enough to accommodate thousands, otherwise the sudden influx of so many people would have probably burst the hall at the seams.
With a gesture from Su Yu, a skull with faint gold threads fell into the palm of his hand.
"This is the skull from my previous body..." Su Yu gently caressed it, smiling faintly with an indescribable feeling.
The figure from the past had long been reduced to ashes, with only this skull absorbing some power from the Netherworld skull and thus preserved. Later, it served as the head skull for Su Yu, left within the Black Iron City.
Nearly a thousand demi-god powerhouses had suddenly transversed space and appeared in Black Iron City, causing the Power of Rules in the void above to surge wildly. Soon, dark clouds blanketed the sky over Black Iron City, presenting a terrifying sight.
The presence of a thousand demi-gods quickly shocked the entire Black Iron City. The two guards watching the hall had been scared stiff by the astonishing event before them, as the existence of demi-gods was too overwhelming for them, merely Black Iron Warriors.
Just as Su Yu and nearly a thousand Black Warriors arrived in the Black Iron World, in some inscrutable world beyond their reach, stood a grand and ancient city. Surrounding this city, there were nine dark light pillars that soared to the sky, each emanating a heart-trembling energy fluctuation.
Above these nine dark light pillars floated a massive tablet, carved with the strange pattern of cosmic twin siblings.
"Pillar Gods of Maya, the day of the end of this Era is upon us. Go to the Black Iron World and fight for that ray of hope," a mighty voice issued from the massive tablet. The nine dark light pillars responded in unison. Then they swiftly grew, piercing through heaven and earth before suddenly contracting, and with a whoosh, they vanished from around the ancient city.
After the nine dark light pillars receded and disappeared into the void, two figures of light slowly emerged on the massive tablet above. Soon, these two figures turned into a blurry image of a man and a woman.
