Chapter 1298 (First Ending), Sacred Beastsâ Escape
Everything was shaking, with the huge pillars of light acting as weapons as they broke the heavens.
In the Mirror Moon Cottage, the Heavenly Sovereign was meditating in peace when he shook awake.
Sword Heart asked, âWhat is it?â
âThe mortal domain is stirring. This is bad!â
Sword Heart asked, âAre those three beasts itching? A pity the five sacred weapons are in the Sacred Domain or I wouldâve gone back to set them straight.â
The Heavenly Sovereign shook his head, âItâs not them. Theyâd never act without knowing my true situation. Just like before, an array has been activated.â
âSomeoneâs coming to Sacred Domain again?â
âNo!â Heavenly Sovereign smiled in disdain, âZhuo Fan mustâve done something. He didnât trust those beasts when he came to Sacred Domain. So now he knows the truth and needs support. For that, he will get the help of those beasts.â
Sword Heart nodded, âShould I stop them? The ruination of the mortal domain means destroying the source of your power.â
âNo, with the emotion path with me, the bewitching doesnât need the mortal domainâs power to be suppressed. I need to absorb the emotion path to get rid of it. The mortal domain has outlived its use, andâŚâ
The Heavenly Sovereignâs eyes shone, âBy going to the mortal domain, those three beasts will notice Iâm in trouble and will come killing. What matters is that I absorb the paths and canât be disturbed. Just watch over me. They wonât stir up any trouble anytime soon.â
Sword Heart nodded and bowed.
The Heavenly Sovereign closed his eyes againâŚ
As the shaking grew stronger, black cracks spread across the sky.
Shangguan Qingyan was shaking in worry, âWhat kind of array did Zhuo Fan tell you to activate? Why does it look different from the one he used? Itâs hundreds of times stronger! The world is about to be destroyed!â
âI donât know either. The Palace Lord only told me how to activate it!â
Wu Randong was clueless, but determined, âDonât worry, Palace Lord wonât harm us. Once the array finishes, we can just look for him.â
Shangguan Qingyan nodded. Despite the huge changes, they still went with it because they trusted Zhuo Fan. He always did something for a reason.
The three sacred beasts noticed the sudden changes.
In the Allbeast Mountain Range, Kunpeng looked at the eight pillars of light, âHe met Heavenly Sovereign and all the suspicion he had on us was removed, needing our help. After years of planning, weâre about to act. It all comes down who the final winner is, ha-ha-haâŚâ
âSpiritual beasts of Allbeast Mountain Range, I, Vaulting Kunpeng, am leaving to fight for the worldâs survival!â Kunpeng spread his arms and roared.
The shivering spiritual beasts lowered their heads before himâŚ
In the Ultimate Clarity Sect, Decimating Dragon Ancestor looked excited as well.
[Is the mortal domain finally breaking?]
But then he recalled Zhuo Fanâs last trick and slumped back, âHumph, getting thrilled for nothing. Those humans are nothing but ungrateful bastards, caring only about themselves and leaving me here in misery. I wonât fall for it a second time and get disappointed. Maybe I should raise another human to activate this array completely? But after all these years, not one human I found is useful.â
Zhuo Fan read him like a book and told Wu Qingqiu to make this place forbidden. He would not see even a ghost waltzing about.
When he took Ye Lin, he at least had a choice, but that was now gone as well.
If heâd known, heâd have slapped Zhuo Fan to death.
[Iâm here using all I have to help you and youâre burying me instead? What gives? Is this a game to you?]
Zhuo Fan wasnât to blame though, since they werenât kin. He needed to know the savage beastsâ intentions first. What would he do if the beast wouldâve run amok the minute they got out?
In the North Sea, Heaven Sealing Sea Ao sent huge waves as he came out to look at the sky.
Sea Aoâs lone eye blinked, sneering, âAnother human wants to go to Sacred Domain? The kid had to go either way, or heâd be just waiting for the big guys to come take his life. As for the others, they must be bored to death. The Sacred Domain has many powers, youâre a lord here, but an ant up there. Ha-ha-ha, so go and die to your heartâs content.â
Sea Ao sunk back beneath the icy waters.
The heavens shifted as the eight pillars grew stronger with the array grandmasters shifting their gestures. The other seven World Wind Tunnels turned into seven meteors and converged on Thunder Pavilion.
The power of the pillars united and the pillar from the Thunder Pavilion exploded in size and power. The heavens couldnât take the pressure and broke apart, revealing a large pitch-black abyss, with cracks extending in all directions as pieces crumbled.
All of the heavens were peeled away like an egg.
The pillar kept expanding, forcing Shangguan Qingyanâs group back. The pillar grew so fast it enveloped them and the sky boomed once more.
Once everything settled, the people looked up in shock. The sky was now all black, an abyss without survival.
âW-what have we done? The sky is gone!â Shangguan Qingyan gapped.
Wu Randong was just as shocked.
âWhy is it like this? Just what was that array of the Palace Lord⌠look there!
They all looked to see the sky healing and become its usual blue self.
Sea Ao was dumbstruck, with his lone eye flashing in immense joy, âThe mortal domain barrier is gone at last. The Heavenly Sovereignâs realm is broken. I can see the real sky, the Sacred Domainâs, ha-ha-haâŚâ
With a boom, Sea Ao slapped with his claws and shot into the sky, breaking the North Seaâs barrier and reaching. His huge body shifted and became a pudgy old man, flying around like a child.
âThe recoil array broke the Heavenly Sovereignâs barrier and made a space tunnel. But due to the worldâs laws, it will heal. Once it does, the mortal domain and Sacred Domain will be one. This place is no longer the mortal domain, ha-ha-haâŚâ
Vaulting Kunpeng shot up as well.
Decimating Dragon Ancestor was stumped then exploded in joy as he turned into a golden fiery dragon that circled the area before withdrawing all the flames to turn into a middle-aged man in golden robes, âIâm out at last. Rotten brat, Iâll get you for toying with me, mark my words! Humph!â
Dragon ancestor vanished.
The three sacred beasts were freed from their prison, now looking for Zhuo Fan.
The people of the mortal domain were baffled by the changed sky, but then they noticed the thick spiritual energy flooding everywhere.
They sucked in without qualms and their Yuan Qi soared to new heights.
âW-whatâs happening? Iâm advancing!â
With the broken barrier, the people of the mortal domain grew excited tasting the thick spiritual energy of the Sacred Domain.
In just a few moments, all of the mortal domainâs cultivators advanced again and again.
The fresh Radiant Stage cultivators of yesterday were now in the Ethereal Stage, making it feel like it was all a dream.
They didnât realize that this was what they shouldâve had, for they had been restricted for agesâŚ
