Chapter 904: Chapter 899 The Battle of Destruction 1

Underworld.

On a large plain near the Sword Sect.

At this moment, a dense array is filled with numerous masters and disciples from the pine forest.

In mid-air, there are exotic beasts and Immortal Crane mounts, all following the sect’s strong figures, slowly descending into their arranged fixed positions.

Lin Xin stands on a high platform, looking far down at the large array crowd below.

Dugu Lin and Lin Hesheng stand behind him, waiting for new instructions.

"Ancestor, everyone has arrived, all disciples above the Golden Core, along with exotic beasts," Lin Hesheng respectfully said.

"Some sects and loose cultivators who are amicable with us have also been notified and are willing to believe in us and leave together with us; they have all arrived at their locations." Dugu Lin added.

"Then, let’s begin. Xiao Yan."

Lin Xin casually commanded.

"Yes." Wang Kongyan’s voice responded.

A shadow of gray-black suddenly flew out from the dark.

The shadow exploded in mid-air, scattering into countless tiny gray lights, all descending into the grand array.

Bang!

Bang! Bang Bang!!

Every place where the gray light landed suddenly shot up a pillar of light.

The gray pillars of light were extremely eye-catching, like bamboo sticks piercing the ground, straight and transparent.

Lin Xin slightly raised his hand.

Woo....

Suddenly, all the gray light pillars began to bend at the top, and all the gray light gathered together, forming a huge light mass.

An oval-shaped gray light mass.

Inside the light mass, a large gate seemed to slowly open.

"Go!"

The leading Nascent Soul elders all soared into the sky, with Wang Kongyan at the forefront, leading everyone toward the light mass.

After the first batch of the strongest elders flew into the light mass, immediately the second batch also soared densely into the sky.

In the distance, outside the plain, some foreign cultivators already vaguely came to observe the ceremony.

These cultivators watched from afar, showing strands of fear on their faces, clearly not expecting the Sword Sect to prepare for the entire sect’s migration, with such formidable means.

Yet such a grand scale, the resources and territory left behind would undoubtedly be unimaginably lucrative.

The third batch, the fourth batch...

Countless cultivators soared into the sky like locusts, quickly entering the light mass.

It was a gateway to the Realm of Death, opened by Lin Xin’s projection of a giant teleportation formation.

As more and more cultivators entered the light mass.

Soon, in the array below, the remaining disciples became fewer and fewer.

"Hesheng, you should go too." Lin Xin said indifferently.

Lin Hesheng received the order, bowed respectfully, and then transformed into pale blue Sword Light, soaring into the sky, shooting into the aerial light mass within moments.

Dugu Lin finally instructed the remaining few pine forest disciples, and after they completely flew in, she then looked at Lin Xin.

Lin Xin smiled.

"You go first, I’ll be right behind you."

"What about those disciples who stayed behind?" Dugu Lin frowned and asked.

Not everyone believed in the so-called great catastrophe, among the tens of thousands of Sword Sect disciples, only more than ten thousand chose to follow Lin Xin and leave, while the rest, due to various reasons, were unwilling to enter the light mass.

Family, lovers, insufficient cultivation, homesick attachment, countless reasons.

Among these left-behind disciples were some with profound cultivation, even two at the Nascent Soul stage.

So Dugu Lin asked how they should be handled.

"All the remaining resources and territory will be given to them, isn’t that enough?" Lin Xin chuckled, "Whether they choose to stay at the base, disperse with hidden names, or simply form a shrunk version of the Sword Sect, it’s up to them."

"But..." Dugu Lin wanted to say more, but thinking of the stubbornness of those left-behind, she just sighed, saying no more.

"Go ahead. You’re the last one left."

Lin Xin gently said.

By this time, all disciples had already flown into the light mass, across the entire plain, except for the scattered cultivators and people from other sects outside, only some disciples who were unwilling to follow remained.

Lin Xin and Dugu Lin were the last two who had not entered the light mass.

"What about you?" Dugu Lin asked back.

"My divine soul body is in there; this body is just my physical form." Lin Xin responded with a smile.

Only then did Dugu Lin show a look of surprise, taking a long time to regain her composure.

"It seems you were right, with your current cultivation realm, it is far beyond my measure."

She leaped up, stepping on a piece of pink Hook Jade.

"I’m going."

"See you in there."

"See you in there."

Lin Xin quietly stood below, watching Dugu Lin as she too entered the sky’s gray light mass.

Until she completely disappeared within the gates of the light mass.

He then slowly pressed his hand down.

Buzz!!

The light mass suddenly exploded, turning into countless gray dots of light, disappearing without a trace.

The entire plain was empty, as if the tens of thousands of people were just an illusion moments ago.

The distant disciples of the Sword Sect around seem hesitant to speak, some revealing faint signs of regret, but it was already too late.

Lin Xin couldn’t be bothered to deal with the remaining people; he glanced around the surroundings.

"It’s time to visit the Outer Regions...."

In fact, three days ago, he already sensed the scent of impending doom.

The sense of doom was clearly not far from the Underworld, so he quickly gathered all the people of the Pine Forest Sect to activate the formation and transport everyone.

Now it seems they made it just in time.

Soaring up, Lin Xin took a step and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The future of the Underworld no longer concerned him.

********************

Half a month later, the Underworld fell.

Countless gray-white doomsday meteors fell from the sky, rapidly devouring everything they touched.

People, animals, plants, all living beings could not escape this terrifying cosmic reshuffling.

The entire membrane of the Underworld shattered directly, with mountains, rivers, and streams quickly deteriorating, leaving only a black stone.

At this moment, there were no rumors of the Sherie Divine Lord Lin Xin in the Underworld, Mortal Realm, or the Void.

The few remaining Holy Lands attached themselves to the Divine Realm of the Jiu Se Divine Lord and the Realm of Death under Fang Yu the Great Saint.

Forming two large factions.

The whereabouts of the Tian Yin Dragon King were uncertain, and the two factions began to clash violently.

In less than a hundred years, countless battles, big and small, had been fought, with heavy casualties.

Even a Heavenly Venerable had fallen, indicating the brutality of the conflict.

Fang Yu and Jiu Se tentatively clashed once more.

This time, their confrontation triggered terrifying waves spanning hundreds of light-years, leaving the Void in a state of devastation during the great catastrophe.

The already diminished Holy Lands were further decimated in this great battle, with ninety percent annihilated. Most were extinguished by the aftershocks of the battle between the two ultimate Taoist Ancestors.

Both using the Divine Realm and the Realm of Death as their great rear, they clashed wantonly within thousands of light-years.

The terrifying waves they created instantly cleared the doomsday aura as well.

The lower-level ten-plus layers of the Abyss Heavenly Realm were directly broken from their time-space isolation, merging chaotically with the Void.

This means that more than ten layers of the Abyss and Heavenly Realm were directly obliterated, becoming part of the Void.

The main tone of the entire war instantly elevated from below the Taoist Ancestor level to above it.

All powerful beings such as Heavenly Venerables and Earth Immortals entered the Divine Realm and Realm of Death, providing sources of power for the two Taoist Ancestors.

The power of Taoist Ancestors comes from the countless planets in the Galaxy forming their bodies, the innumerable living beings on those planets, which serve as their foundation.

Heavenly Venerables and Earth Immortals entering the Divine Realm and Realm of Death is also a way to gather their own power to enhance the strength of the Taoist Ancestors.

The intense clash between Jiu Se and Fang Yu, combined with the rampant corruption of the doomsday aura, constantly shook the foundations of the Heavenly Realm and the depths.

Yet, the decisive outcome between the two remained a distant prospect.

And so, amid this terrifying stalemate, thirty years passed in the blink of an eye.....

***********************

Thirty-ninth Layer of the Abyss.

Here lay a pitch-black Void, with a fiery red, flaming brass gate suspended at its center.

The portal stood three thousand miles high, eight thousand miles wide, with a black creature carved in its center that neither looked like a dragon nor not.

In the Void, countless white doom auras silent corrode the flames surrounding the brass gate.

Within the doom aura, a faint human figure gazed distantly at the brass gate.

The figure had a tall physique, long hair reaching the waist, and a white smiling mask on the face.

The mask only had three red curved lines, representing eyes and mouth, exuding a subtle eeriness.

"Thirty years.... This must be the gate to the Fortieth Layer of the Abyss, the doom aura hasn’t fully broken through.

Could it be that it has to erupt from the Heavenly Realm, all the way downward, reaching the deepest part of the Abyss before this black universe’s catastrophe can be concluded?"

The figure slowly took off the mask, revealing a cold, handsome, and exquisite face.

It was none other than the Sherie Divine Lord Lin Xin, who disappeared from the Underworld thirty years ago.

After leaving the Underworld, he traveled through the Outer Regions.

Unfortunately, the Outer Regions had long been devoured and corroded by the doom aura, leaving only some relics and remains. Wandering aimlessly soon lost its charm.

The secrets he sought could not be uncovered due to the doom aura.

With no other recourse, Lin Xin returned, leaving the Underworld to begin exploring the Heavenly Realm and the Abyss.

In the Heavenly Realm, he could reach at most the Tenth Heaven, which was the source of the doom aura.

Further upwards, the resistance was too great to continue.

The Thirty-Three Heavens seemed merely a legend as per records.

In the Abyss, within its sixty-six layers, he could penetrate no further than the Thirty-Ninth Layer; in earlier layers, the doom aura devoured everything, leaving only black rock.

Only upon reaching this Thirty-Ninth Layer did he glimpse this gate.

"The Taoist Ancestors might have entered the Fortieth Layer. That so-called Heavenly Demon’s Army Master’s seal should have changed later on."

Lin Xin speculated in his heart.

Carefully examining the brass gate, this doorway to the Fortieth Layer of the Abyss, it appeared unscathed on the outside, but was actually riddled with minute cracks both inside and out.

"It seems, it’s almost time...." Lin Xin’s figure slowly faded into the darkness, quietly waiting.

Time flowed by slowly.

He hid in the darkness of the Thirty-Ninth Layer of the Abyss, while sorting out what he had seen and heard over the past thirty years.

The Evil God King and other Evil Gods had long been consumed and digested, granting him a vast thirty-one billion Free Attribute Points.

The joy of the Sword to the Dragon Vein Universe and the Spiritual Power Universe, and the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads, all were split off divine thoughts he couldn’t contact across the universe barrier.

Only upon his return could he take over everything acquired by the two split divine thoughts.
