Chapter 616 - Visva
"Rumble!" After several minutes, the sky suddenly turned very dark that it emitted an ominous sign. Thunderclaps could be heard as lightning descended down in every direction. It felt like the world was going to end at this moment.
"They are coming." Daoempress used her deep eyes and saw that there were several hidden fluctuations happening behind the space, "Be prepared. They are going to break the void soon."
Everyone held their breath when they heard this. They were all nervous and scared. After all, this battle would depend whether the Immortal would survive the calamity or not.
The five perfect immortals lined up with Daoempress at the front. Their treasures and weapons were in line, ready to fight. They couldn't afford a single mistake here..
Windking looked everywhere but he couldn't see Jin Rou and his companions. He wanted to contact him yet he refrained from doing so in the end. The young master was an unfathomable being so he should know what he's doing.
"Prepare to fight." Daoempress warned the group, "This bunch is very powerful that I can't even gouge it."
What she could see was still blurry, so she wasn't sure what type would appear. Nevertheless, she could feel their intense and dangerous dark auras.
"Boom!" The void suddenly cracked in an obvious pace. The sky was tore apart as if it was a mere tofu.
"What the hell..." An old expert gasped as he saw this. These demons had just tore the sky apart as if it was nothing!
The five immortals had a grave expression when the other side revealed their capabilities. They were all top existences of Immortal yet they couldn't tear the space apart of that mass. It was insane to say since it would cost a very expensive price even if it was possible.
"Dun! Dun! Dun!" Then, an army of skeletons numbering millions appeared out of the tore void. They were all clad in black armor as they stared at the crowd below with red dot eyes.
Moreover, there was a figure leading the army. He was wearing golden robes. With dark skin and horns, it was obvious that he was a member of darkness.
He slowly walked forward like he was just having a stroll in the park. His appearance became more obvious. It wasn't hideous, and actually had a normal face. However, despite looking like a mortal with a dark skin, everyone could feel an intense pressure coming from this being.
With every step, it felt like he carried the world's momentum, anytime he could annihilate all the living beings below his feet.
"Greetings, residents of Immortal." The golden robed dark man spoke. His voice was like a deep ocean, "I am called Visva. I am here to deliver a message from our Great Master."
He paused for a single moment and resumed, "The Great Master of Darkness is merciful. He wants to ask everyone to surrender to the darkness and each one of us will prosper. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so he expects cooperation with everyone."
"You're speaking as if you have already had the victory in the bag." Daoempress said. Her voice was calm, yet it contained a raging killing intent hidden, "The battle is yet to start."
Visva looked at Daoempress and smiled, "I have heard of your accomplishments, Empress. You are certainly strong, however you can only put up a decent fight against our darkness. Sooner or later, you will fall."
Visva had the confidence that this was already a win in their part. After all, they had prepared for this chance and expended so much resources. There was no room for failure.
"The darkness will never devour this world." Swordknight interjected, "We will not let you do anything!"
"Swordknight, I see that you are him." Visva was very knowledgeable of the perfect immortals living in Immortal, "Your Breaking Brave Sword Dao is very perfect with a dark manual our Great Master has created. It's just waiting for the fateful one to have it."
Breaking Brave Sword Dao was the grand dao of Swordknight. It contained twelve slashes and variations to speak of, and each slash could destroy a single world.
"You cannot tempt me." Swordknight refused, his killing intent was overflowing.
"The dark manual I'm talking about has a full variation copy of Daosword Emperor's." Visva smiled and said, "For sure, you are very aware of that existence."
Swordknight was shaken. How was that possible that they had a full variation copy of Daosword Emperor’s grand dao?
Daosword Emperor was also a first generation immortal and created many skills and techniques, fully focusing on instant slashes. He was very well known for killing his enemies within one to three slashes of the same level. As a matter of fact, he was one of the few closest immortals to be a candidate for being a sage.
The emperor was Swordknight's goal. He was very interested in the variations created by the emperor.
"Daosword has fallen. No need to think this through. He has succumbed to the darkness." Daoempress didn't expect that Daosword had fallen to the darkness. Aside from her and Windgod, he also had a hard dao heart that couldn't be easily tempted, "Swordknight, get yourself together. You cannot let Visva invade your desires. That's where you will be hit severely."
Swordknight was awaken from the trance and nodded. Daoempress was right, he couldn't let the demon tempt him or else it everything would be for naught.
"Foolish humans." Visva shook his head. He presented a wonderful opportunity yet these fools didn't appreciate it. The humans truly were beyond saving, "The Great Master is very disappointed in you all."
In truth, many sects and clans wanted to surrender. After all, the darkness had already shown what could they do. It would be a futile resistance no matter what. What was stopping them from doing so were the five immortals who refused to back down. If they suddenly surrendered while the immortals were ready to fight, wouldn't they be a laughingstock of Immortal?
Of course, if there was a chance to surrender later on, they wouldn't hesitate doing it. The survival of their clan had to be their first priority, not some foolish pride as a cultivator.
