Chapter 2530 - 2498: Breath of World Destruction

Chapter 2530: Chapter 2498: Breath of World Destruction

The great battle of the era has not yet come to a complete close. However, the forces of the Ten Thousand Races in the starry universe have already withdrawn from the frontline one after another.

Without Origin Realm powerhouses, the Era-Ancient civilization is like a stray dog, only to be hunted by the armies of the starry universe. This time, the withdrawal of the starry universe’s troops has given them an excellent opportunity to escape.

For a time, countless Era-Ancient forces activated the teleportation arrays. Batch after batch of Era-Ancient forces began to leave the starry universe.

Though this time, the Era-Ancient civilization lost armies numbering in the billions in the epoch battle, the fact remains that the armies were sent by major Era-Ancient civilizations together, numbers far beyond anyone’s imagination. Under these circumstances, the Era-Ancient forces still retain tens of thousands of troops, and the mass exodus is quite a shocking spectacle.

Some of the powerful figures from the Era-Ancient civilization also breathed a sigh of relief in secret. If the starry universe pursued them relentlessly and continued the "mopping-up war" on other star continents, the final outcome for these Era-Ancient forces would be nothing but death, with no one surviving.

Meanwhile, all the survivors of the Era-Ancient forces also pondered and speculated. What exactly happened that led to the massive withdrawal of the starry universe’s troops?

-----

Time passed like the wind, and months quietly slipped by.

During this period, the Era-Ancient civilization had mostly either perished or retreated. Apart from some small-scale wars, all the armies and peak powerhouses of the starry universe seemed to have withdrawn from the Era-Ancient battle and devoted themselves entirely to other matters.

At the boundary of the starry universe, due to the powerful magnetic field here, this generation has been an absolute forbidden zone since ancient times. Here, all cultivation powers are weakened, and inside is only endless darkness, known as the "Chaos Zone".

Also, here, countless space-time vortices exist. With slight carelessness, one might be teleported to a certain part of the cosmic ruins. Unless possessing founding-level cultivation, being teleported would result in nothing but death.

And now, on the outskirts of the Chaos Zone, countless powerhouses of the starry universe are gathered on a massive stone platform not far from the Chaos Zone.

The stone platform was created by several Dao Saints of the starry universe, serving as a foothold accommodating countless powerhouses to form a line of defense.

What they are holding back is the black qi emerging from the Chaos Zone.

"Quick, quickly get on top!"

On the enormous stone platform, the size of a star continent, an Ancient Ancestor level powerhouse shouted coldly.

After speaking, the vast sea of people behind him erupted with a magnificent True Yuan, transforming into beams of True Essence, directly blasting toward a mass of black qi in front.

This group of people gathered here, using their physical bodies as a wall, desperately blocking the spreading black qi for the safety of the entire starry universe.

Strands of black qi spread from the endless darkness of the Chaos Zone, showing some stagnation only after being subjected to countless powerhouses’ True Essence attacks.

"Together! Don’t let these things come out!"

A few Ancient Ancestors responsible for commanding shouted from the crowd, their True Yuan without any reservation, surging overwhelmingly toward the black qi.

Powers strong enough to destroy a Dao Saint only slightly delayed the spread of the black qi.

The commanding Ancient Ancestor knitted his brow tightly, looking at the pitch-black space in front, feeling an extremely ominous sensation welling up inside.

"This black qi is getting harder to deal with!"

This remark was precisely what everyone thought.

It is now the first year and six months of the Pinnacle Battle Era.

In the cosmic starry sky, three Chaos Zones exist. Six months ago, numerous powerhouses of the starry sky civilization had already gathered near the three Chaos Zones, blocking the black qi.

Initially, the heroes of the starry universe paid no heed to the black qi, thinking the Dust Saint of the Mundane World was only being overly cautious.

Because they found that initially, only a few Heavenly King level powerhouses were enough to block the black qi from a Chaos Zone entirely, dispersing it completely.

Moreover, the black qi seemed harmless. However, as time went on, the black qi became increasingly formidable. Finally, on a certain day, the black qi formed a powerful black hole, directly eradicating over a hundred Heavenly King level powerhouses and swallowing several surrounding star continents, garnering the attention of everyone in the starry universe.

Now, almost all the powerhouses above the Heavenly King level in the entire starry universe participated in this defense, yet the result was merely barely holding back. The spread of the black qi is getting wider and denser.

One day, they will be unable to blockade this black qi, and they have no inkling of what might happen then.

On the massive man-made stone platform, a floating palace was hovering. Above the palace, there was a touch of red, representing the "Red Dust Palace".

Since Li Chen’s return to the starry universe, he resolved the Era-Ancient battle, bringing back the Origin Realm powerhouses, greatly enhancing his reputation throughout the starry universe. Some of the old-timers in the starry universe also support him. Up to now, the Red Dust Palace stands here, with Li Chen personally overseeing this black qi defense battle.

"Tai Chu senior."

Li Chen stood inside the palace, looking at the vast star river outside, as well as the sea-like crowd, and suddenly spoke.

Actually, just now, Li Chen had already sensed Tai Chu’s arrival.

Tai Chu’s figure slowly appeared in the grand hall, immediately asking, "How long do you think you can hold out?"

"To be honest, I don’t have much confidence anymore."

Li Chen shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally, with a tinge of helplessness in his voice, said, "Tai Chu senior, though I don’t know why you came to the starry universe this time, I am very grateful for what you have done...It’s just that..."

Seeing Li Chen, previously the most spirited in the entire starry universe, revealing such an expression, Tai Chu was somewhat surprised, although he had not interacted much with Li Chen.

However, the calmness and fighting spirit that Li Chen possessed were uncommon, earning his admiration. Yet now, Li Chen’s words carried more of a sense of surrender.

"Secular Taoist Friend...you?"

Li Chen calmly said, "The Breath of World Destruction between Heaven and Earth is getting denser. They are like water, seeping everywhere... When the defense is completely breached, perhaps we will face the fate of doom. This time, I want to share the fate with the people of the starry universe!"

"Alas." Tai Chu sighed, said slowly, "When I came, the Prime Ancestor mentioned that in all the cosmic wars that might break out in the future, Yilin Dao Friend will play a very important role. Perhaps capable of altering the fate of the vast nihility."

"The great wisdom and fearlessness of Yilin Dao Friend have greatly impacted me. I will lend a hand in the coming period, but I will not share the fate with the starry universe. I can guarantee only Yilin Dao Friend’s life, as a token of our affection from the Tree Realm Universe."
