Chapter 2494 - 2462: Drama Queen

Chapter 2494: Chapter 2462: Drama Queen

When the tentacle touched the Cosmic Membrane of the Jianmu Universe, the entire Jianmu Universe began to tremble.

The other Dao Saints were all dumbfounded.

They had never imagined that even after gathering so many people’s attacks, they couldn’t even shake the advance direction of the Black Tide of Nihility.

It wasn’t that they were weak, but that the Black Tide of Nihility was just too terrifying.

"Everyone, move!"

At this moment, a deep shout rang out from within the crowd.

A streak of flowing light flashed, and a figure arrived at the junction between the Jianmu Universe and that black tentacle.

Origin Realm Powerhouse, Tian Que!

Lowering his head to glance at the black tentacle below, Tian Que suddenly raised both his hands high.

At the same time, a vast Cosmos abruptly unfolded around Tian Que.

Though it couldn’t compare with the Jianmu Universe below, when set against the Universes of the other Palm Realm Powerhouses, it was as if this was the only thing worthy of being called a true Cosmos.

And all the others’ Universes were fake!

Minor Universes!

"Collapse!"

Tian Que uttered a single word in a low shout.

"Break!"

As the second word left his mouth, the entire Vast Nihility began to tremble.

"Shatter!"

"Crack! Crack-crack~~"

From the point where that black tentacle touched the Jianmu Universe, a strange sound suddenly came out.

In the next instant, under everyone’s watchful gaze, that black tentacle really did crumble by a segment!

Like glass, that section of black tentacle simply shattered apart out of nowhere.

"Good!!"

A group of Palm Realm Powerhouses couldn’t help but cheer.

An Origin Realm Powerhouse truly lived up to the title—this Black Tide of Nihility that so many Dao Saints and Ancient Ancestors had failed to deal with was actually forced back by him.

However, two people’s expressions didn’t change at all.

One was Poem Shadow Dao Saint.

The other was Tian Que himself.

"I used eighty percent of my power in that strike, and all it did was collapse a tiny segment. It’s not even one-thousandth of this entire Black Tide of Nihility..." Tian Que’s expression began to faintly shift.

By rights, the Founding Realm, as the final Realm known to cultivators, was almost omnipotent in the eyes of most people.

Yet a blow using nearly eighty percent of his power only managed to break a tiny bit of the Black Tide of Nihility. This result not only shocked Tian Que, but also gave him a far deeper understanding of how terrifying the Black Tide of Nihility truly was.

Just from that one exchange, he understood that relying on himself alone, there was absolutely no way to stop the Black Tide of Nihility.

The Black Tide of Nihility had one ’tentacle’ shattered, but it seemed completely unresponsive, continuing to stretch its ’tentacles’ toward the Jianmu Universe.

And this time it wasn’t just one, but dozens of ’tentacles’ at once, directly dragging the massive Black Tide of Nihility to ’cover’ down toward the Jianmu Universe.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Tian Que’s expression changed.

Not far away, Poem Shadow Dao Saint’s expression changed as well, and she rushed to Tian Que’s side at the first possible moment.

"Attack together!"

Poem Shadow Dao Saint cried out loudly, "Everyone, strike together and block the Black Tide of Nihility!!"

"Understood!!"

One Palm Realm Powerhouse after another stood outside the Cosmic Membrane, forming a barrier between the Jianmu Universe and the Black Tide of Nihility.

"Crush it!! For our home!!"

With an earth-shaking battle cry, the Palm Realm Powerhouses attacked in unison, blasting toward the surging Black Tide of Nihility.

...

"What is that thing?"

For once, Li Chen walked out of the Dreamfall Battlefield, looking up toward the sky above Jiankong Realm.

"I don’t know."

Young Hong stood at the entrance of the Dreamfall Battlefield, also looking at the scene at the Zenith. He gently shook his head and said, "I’ve never seen anything like it, but for some reason, I smell a strange scent from it. It feels... familiar somehow..."

"Kind of like..." Li Chen rubbed his chin, and under everyone’s gaze, slowly spoke, "A huge lump of black sesame paste."

"Then why don’t you go take a bite and see?" the Seven Realms Tome said, its tone like it was talking to an idiot.

Standing outside the Dreamfall Battlefield, Li Chen closed his eyes slightly, but very soon opened them again.

"Interesting." Li Chen raised his head, looking at that giant ’black sesame paste’.

"That thing is the legendary Black Tide of Nihility? One of the most dangerous cosmic disasters in the Vast Nihility?" With a pinch of his fingers, Li Chen plucked out one of his own beard hairs and grinned. "Looks like these Universes out here aren’t that much more peaceful than our Starry Universe, huh?"

"This kind of thing..." Young Hong’s face turned a bit ugly. "I’ve been in the Jianmu Universe for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve seen it attack a Great Universe. I never expected the Black Tide of Nihility to be this terrifying, to even threaten a Great Universe."

"If we’d known earlier, we definitely would’ve listed the Black Tide of Nihility as the most terrifying cosmic disaster in the Vast Nihility!" Young Hong said in a deep voice.

"There’s no such thing as ’if we’d known earlier.’" Li Chen gently shook his head. "If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have fallen so low that I ended up in your Jianmu Universe. Also, about what you just said—I think you might be wrong."

"Which part?" Young Hong couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

Li Chen’s eyes narrowed. "This lump of black sesame paste... might not actually be a natural disaster at all!"

"Not a natural disaster?" Young Hong’s brows furrowed.

"Have you ever seen a ’natural disaster’ that plays around with tactical probing?" Li Chen said quietly.

"Master, weren’t the tribulations you went through back then just like that?" Red Moon asked curiously at his side.

Li Chen’s face instantly darkened.

Back then, his tribulation could hardly be called a natural disaster—that damn thing had practically turned sentient.

But even now, Li Chen still had no idea what that tribulation was about.

Just messing with him?

Of course, unlike those tribulations, this Black Tide of Nihility was many times stronger.

Even with so many Palm Realm Powerhouses, they actually couldn’t stand against it.

One black tentacle swept across, and a whole group of Palm Realm Powerhouses’ True Form Universes tore apart like paper.

Almost in the same instant that the True Form Universes were ripped open, the black tentacle directly caused those True Form Universes to collapse.

As for the Palm Realm Powerhouses protected within their Universes, only two managed to escape back to the Jianmu Universe alive, badly seriously injured.

The others were instantly erased by the Vast Nihility.

And at this time, the tentacles of the Black Tide of Nihility continued stretching toward the Jianmu Universe.

Aside from Tian Que and Poem Shadow joining forces to block a few tentacles, the rest together only barely held off four tentacles.

The other dozen-plus tentacles stabbed straight into the Jianmu Universe’s Cosmic Membrane, plunging deep into the earth of Jiankong Realm.

"Master, what do we do?" Red Moon couldn’t help asking.

"Do?" Li Chen lifted his brows. "We’re not people of the Jianmu Universe, so why ask me? Pack up and leave!"

"Oh, right." At this moment, Li Chen seemed to finally remember there was someone who couldn’t leave. He turned to look at Hong. "You..."

"I’m not leaving." Hong shook his head.

"Ah!" Li Chen let out a long sigh toward the sky. "Forget it. We’ve at least known each other for a while. Since you’re not leaving, I’ll stick around and watch a bit longer."

Hong was completely stunned.

Red Moon secretly curled her lip.

Her master really was a drama king.
