Chapter 1820: Ten Great Supreme Beings (2)
??
Qi Tong was like a statue now, not moving at all.
At the same time, the Great Void shook more and more violently.
Glowing lines like meridians that connected heaven and earth in the sky weaved into a net that could cover heaven and earth.
Everyone’s eyes followed the glowing lines and looked at the Tower of Heaven near them.
The pillar of light from the Tower of Heaven easily blocked the glowing lines.
Boom!
Rumble!
The sound of the land splitting was very distinct, and it kept reverberating in the Great Void.
Suddenly, Qi Tong’s body began to glow, and life seemed to have returned to its eyes. Primal Qi surged into its eyes, causing them to glow as well. At this moment, it could hear some invisible force asking him, “Do you want to see the light? Do you want to see the light?”
Qi Tong had spent its entire life in darkness. From the moment it was born, it was without sight. It had never seen colors aside from the ones in its visions. It had never seen the pure white of the snow or the fierce red of blood. The mountains and rivers and the sceneries it saw in its mind only fueled its fantasies of the world, and it stoked its desire to see. Its desire to see surpa.s.sed its antic.i.p.ation for the future. Its desire for light could overcome anything, including life and death.
At this moment, Qi Tong cried out, “I want to see!”
As though spurred by Qi Tong’s strong will, light returned to its eyes.
The dark void slowly brightened up.
The Tower of Heaven nearby, the cultivators in the sky flying like meteors, the glowing net, the prosperous Sacred Region, and the brightly lit Sacred City…
Qi Tong could see it all at this moment. It looked at everything around it in a daze.
Lu Zhou, who discovered Qi Tong’s change, flashed and appeared in front of Qi Tong. His eyes shone blue as he grabbed Qi Tong.
The moment Qi Tong met Lu Zhou’s eyes, it stiffened. It had never met the Unholy One before, but it had seen the Unholy One in its visions. The most distinct feature of the Unholy One whom everyone feared and respected was his blue eyes.
Lu Zhou asked, “What did you see?”
Qi Tong’s eyes widened. Then, it stammered, “E-everyone, everyone… will die, including you… and me.”
Lu Zhou scoffed coldly and flung Qi Tong away after he said, “I’ve never believed in things like destiny. Although you’ve regained your sight now, you’re still blind.”
Qi Tong endured the pain as it flew hundreds of feet back. It laughed out loud before it said, “To be able to meet the Unholy One, I have no regrets in this life… Alas, my time left in this world is short. I cannot see the beauty of the world with my own eyes. Humans don’t know how to treasure what they have so it might be a good thing for them to perish. You asked me earlier how I saw your future when you were born before me. I’ll answer you now… To see your future, I had to pay a price, and the price for seeing prying into your future is… my life!”
Qi Tong continued to laugh. Perhaps, it had finally seen the light so it felt that the price it had to pay was worth it. Rather than living in darkness, it was better to die in the light. It did not stop laughing, and its body continued to glow.
Lu Zhou stared at Qi Tong and asked, “What else did you see?”
Qi Tong only shook its head as it continued to laugh. It laughed until its eyes dimmed, and it fell from the sky.
The light in the sky grew brighter and brighter, seemingly weaving a tighter net around the entire Sacred Region.
However, all this had nothing to do with Qi Tong anymore.
The Templars had also heard Qi Tong’s words. They did not know whether they were happy or sad. They were happy to hear Qi Tong say that the Unholy One was going to die, but they were sad that their lives were in the hands of the Unholy One. Every move from the Unholy One would affect their lives, after all.
At this time, the tips of the Towers of Heaven suddenly flashed. Following that, the towers projected the images of nine huge golden lotuses and one huge red lotus from the nine domains.
The human cultivators in the Sacred Region and the nine domains witnessed the most spectacular scene ever in history.
Under the ten lotuses, a light disk appeared under each of them at the same time. The light disks had a diameter of 10,000 feet and were like setting suns that illuminated the nine domains.
Following that, nine lotuses moved and surrounded one lotus.
Buzz!
Suddenly, two light disks appeared under the lotus in the center.
Little Yuan’er, who had formed one light disk as soon as she had comprehended the Great Dao, now had three light disks!
There were two huge golden lotuses in the golden lotus domain. One was in the sky north of the capital, and the other was in the sky above the Evil Sky Pavilion. The golden lotus at the Evil Sky Pavilion, the one with three light disks, attracted the world’s attention at this moment.
The light from the light disks shone down on the world, shocking all creatures.
…
At this moment, the ears of Lu Wu, who had long become a divine beast, suddenly p.r.i.c.ked up. Its eyes were bright as it muttered, “The ten supreme beings are finally born!”
…
All the humans had never seen such a spectacle before. It was unprecedented and magical.
Even in the Great Void, there had never been a time where ten supreme beings were born at the same time in the past 100,000 years.
It was said that those who possessed the Great Void Seeds would definitely become supreme beings.
To the cultivators in the nine domains, this was just a distant and unreachable dream. They did not expect to be able to see the births of ten supreme beings in their lifetimes.
However…
Currently, the ten supreme beings’ situations did not look very optimistic. They were all bound by a pillar of light.
The projection in the sky by the Towers of Heavens showed that the energy the ten supreme beings absorbed from the nine domains were continuously being sent to the Great Void.
…
Black lotus domain.
A huge number of cultivators appeared near the humongous golden lotus.
Ming Xin paid no attention to them. He quietly observed the changes in the pillar of light before he asked, “Do you understand now?”
Si Wuya’s eyes were burning as he looked at the pillar of light. He asked, “Is this the reason why you don’t care if we escape or not? Is this the reason why you don’t care about the nine domains?”
Ming Xin nodded slightly. “I’ve said before that all of you are the keys to reconstructing the world.”
The net in the sky, weaved by the golden lines, was the energy siphoned from the nine domains through Lu Zhou’s ten disciples using the Towers of Heaven. At this moment, the net had surrounded the entire Sacred Region.
At this time, unexpectedly, a black lotus cultivator suddenly shouted, “Charge!”
“Even if we die, we must advance! We have to save Mr. Seventh!”
There were people who would not sit around and wait for death. Even if it meant their deaths would come early, they would rather do something.
Ming Xin looked at the black lotus cultivators flying over from all directions and only shook his head indifferently. “Your courage is worthy of praise. Alas, the city in the sky can only accommodate G.o.ds. Your sacrifices won’t be in vain. Thank you for everything you’ve done for the Sacred Region.”
“No!” Si Wuya roared.
Ming Xin did not pause. His face was expressionless as he brought out nine light disks.
The nine light disks shot out immediately.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thousands upon thousands of black lotus cultivators were sent flying.
In just a blink of an eye, the sky became clear, devoid of humans.
Ming Xin raised his head and looked at Si Wuya as he asked indifferently, “What do you think?”
‘So this is Ming Xin’s strength? He hasn’t even used any sacred relics yet…’
Ming Xin said without inflection, “Even if I didn’t kill them, they’ll still die after the earth crumbles.”
Si Wuya suddenly laughed. Then, he said, “You’re wrong! You’re really wrong!”
Ming Xin looked at Si Wuya as though he could see through Si Wuya’s thoughts, and he scoffed lightly. “You’re so young. How many springs and autumns have you experienced? How many dynasties have you seen rise and fall? What qualifications do you have to tell me if I’m right or wrong?”
Si Wuya said, “You’re right. I’m young, and I’ve not lived as long as you. However, I say it with conviction when I say that you’re wrong!”
Ming Xin asked, “How am I wrong?”
Si Wuya pointed at the sky and said, “Do you think you can use the Towers of Heaven to help the Sacred Region remain in the sky? Do you think you can control the ten great laws?”
Ming Xin was a little annoyed by the rhetorical questions. He waved his hand casually.
Bang!
Bound by the pillar of light in the sky, Si Wuya took the head and swayed left and right.
At this time, the surviving black lotus cultivators flew up into the sky once again. They gritted their teeth as they stared ahead.
Si Wuya quickly transmitted his voice to them and said, “Don’t make such pointless sacrifices! All of you, get lost!”
The amplification from the pillar of light and Si Wuya’s newly-gained power of a supreme being made his voice unusually powerful.
The black lotus cultivators hesitate, still looking as though they were going to charge forward at any time.
Si Wuya said again, “In the name of the Evil Sky Pavilion, I promise you that the earth will not crumble! All of you, leave the battlefield!”
With this, hundreds of thousands of black lotus cultivators saluted Si Wuya in unison before they retreated like the tide.
Ming Xin said, “It’s always the weakest beings that like to struggle desperately…”
Si Wuya turned to the side and pointed southwest. “The sky is falling.”
Boom!
The commotion from the Unknown Land was truly unprecedented.
Chaos and destruction swept through the entire world.
Ming Xin did not look at Si Wuya as he said, “Your master is in the Sacred Region now. I think he must be shocked by my masterpiece at this moment. Look. Sacred Region is still in the air.”
Boom!
A thunderous sound rang from the Sky Encompa.s.sing Mirror.
Zhuyong Hall that was adjacent to the Sacred Region fell. The land directly outside of the golden net broke apart and fell. Following that, Zhao Yang Hall, Tu Wei Hall, and the other halls all fell with the collapse of the final Pillar of Destruction.
The Great Void had completely fallen.
Countless humans and creatures were buried underneath boulders that covered the Unknown Land, forming new towering mountain ranges.
At this time, only the Sacred Region shone brightly in the sky.
