Chapter 1695: From Waxing to Waning

Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

In the past few decades, the grudge between the peak races and the Celestials accumulated and deepened. Now that the Celestial army was in shambles and attempting escape, how could these races miss the chance to seek revenge?

“Kill!”

The peak races of the Chaos Heavens let out deafening war cries, as all the warriors began a relentless pursuit. Many people were even pursued into the Multiverse rift.

If one was powerful enough, diving into the Multiverse rift for a short distance posed no danger.

In the sky, large numbers of demonic servants had been vanquished. That, however, paled in comparison to the loss of Celestial divine generals.

These divine generals had always enjoyed lofty existences, ones that far exceeded the Godly Monarchs of the other major races. But now, under Yi Yun’s pursuit, they were unable to join forces to face off the common enemy. One by one, they perished.

During the chaotic retreat, Yi Yun slew more than ten of the hundred plus divine generals that were fleeing!

In a battle that determined the survival of races, there could only be blood.

When everything gradually calmed down, the entire sky, stretching out for thousands of kilometers, was enveloped by the demonic aura dissipated by the death of the demonic servants. There were stormy aura blasts and spatial rifts everywhere.

Patriarch Polar was covered in blood, but he wore a delighted look on his face.

This battle was worth it!

Even if Yi Yun were to really be defeated by the Ancestor God, he felt that the number of kills he racked up was worth it.

After the Divine Emperor was vanquished, Patriarch Polar himself had killed a Celestial divine general alone!

In addition, Patriarch Sky Punishment also killed one, while the other Heavenly Courts Godly Monarchs joined forces to kill two. Humanity as a race had subdued four.

Such a battle outcome was of noteworthy proportions. To the Celestials of the past, there might not have been a single divine general death for more than a hundred million years.

As the Celestials had always been placed on a high pedestal, which other-race Godly Monarch would dare to offend them? Whenever a Celestial divine general and an other-race Godly Monarch ventured into a mystic realm together, the Celestial would always reap the highest benefit while all the other Godly Monarchs could do was exercise forbearance bit by bit.

If they were to come to blows because of their interests, it was easy to incur the wrath of the Celestials, which might ultimately doom them. No one could ensure the safety of a person the Celestial had earmarked for death.

And the exaggerated outcome of the battle was all thanks to Yi Yun!

At that moment, the various patriarchs and Godly Monarchs were looking at the black-robed figure in the sky.

Yi Yun stood there with a seemingly ordinary aura. He resembled a mortal that didn’t expose any terrifying auras. However, his body was dyed in dark gold blood.

Around him were bodies of bronze giants.

Divine generals and the Divine Emperor were among the bodies!

These corpses effused a surging baneful aura, but all the energies instantly dissipated when they approached Yi Yun.

The battle today was all thanks to Yi Yun. Even without his killing of the Divine Emperor, his achievements had exceeded all the combined forces of the Godly Monarchs from the various peak races.

The Celestial divine generals had more than twenty perish!

The number of demonic servants deaths was innumerable.

Apart from the humans, the other Ghost, Soul, and Fey patriarchs looked at Yi Yun as they held back their words. They felt guilty and ashamed facing Yi Yun.

Previously, they had all betrayed Yi Yun.

At that moment, the Fey patriarch stood forward. He had some ties with Yi Yun and could probably exchange a few words.

“Young Master Yi, I have to apologize sincerely for going back on our contract. My soul is in your hands, and I have nothing to say about how you punish me. However, our betrayal was our personal decision and had nothing to do with the Fey race as a whole. Young Master Yi, I hope that you will allow the Fey to continue their bloodline in the future…”

Yi Yun and the Ancestor God were at irreconcilable odds. Although Yi Yun’s chances of victory seemed low, he was bound to reign supreme if he were to win by chance. In that case, all the lives of the different races would be in his hands.

The fates of these races would all depend on Yi Yun’s mood.

When that happened, Yi Yun would be the absolute ruler of the Chaos Heavens!

Yi Yun gave a nonchalant glance to the Fey’s Patriarch Grand Supremum who bowed his head in silence.

Behind Patriarch Grand Supremum, the other Fey Godly Monarchs felt their hearts palpitate when they sensed Yi Yun’s gaze on them. It was as though they had been seen through completely.

The repressive might that Yi Yun gave off was just too potent. The huge difference in strength and the decision of their future fates made them feel like they were subjects before a king when facing Yi Yun.

Yi Yun did not speak. All he did was give the Godly Monarchs a glance before ignoring them.

At this moment in time, he was no longer concerned over such matters. The various peak races had given him help in this battle after all. At the very least, they had held back the Celestial divine generals and prevented them or the tens of millions of demonic servants from forming an array.

Even if both parties had managed to set up an array formation, Yi Yun still had means to deal with them. It was just that Yi Yun would have to pay quite a nontrivial price to do so.

At that moment, Yi Yun did not wish to waste a single bit of his Yuan Qi.

Because… his true opponent was not the Divine Emperor.

This was only the prelude to the huge battle ahead of him.

Yi Yun waited silently and at that moment, hundreds of thousands of warriors from every race, including the Heavenly Courts’ disciples, dozens of Godly Monarchs and patriarchs were silent. None of them knew what Yi Yun was waiting for.

“It’s about time…”

Yi Yun suddenly said out of the blue, but no one understood what he was talking about. It was at that moment when the land suddenly quaked. The tremors were thousands of times, if not millions of times, more terrifying than any earthquake in the past!

The earthquake was not localized but was happening throughout the Chaos Heavens!

If one were to view the Chaos Heavens from the Multiverse rift, one could clearly sense that the entire Chaos Heavens was trembling.

Even the Multiverse membrane was quivering as though it would shatter at any moment!

And if the Multiverse membrane were to shatter, the Chaos Heavens would be cease to be the Chaos Heavens. It would become a part of the Multiverse rift and when that happened, all the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the Chaos Heavens would seep into the Multiverse rift until all Yuan Qi was gone!

When that happened, the Chaos Heavens would be in the same situation as the Xuanyuan Dune!

Mining could be done in the Chaos Heavens, but it would no longer be a suitable place for cultivation or even just living.

Everyone noticed this phenomena—the Multiverse membrane was shaking!

“This…This is…”

The Godly Monarchs had drastic changes in expression. This sudden turn of events chilled their hearts. Once the Multiverse membrane shattered, the outcome would be disastrous!

“Is it the Ancestor God?”

Everyone’s hearts palpitated. Such a cataclysmic turn of events could only be a result of the Ancestor God!

“Array core… the twelve array cores have been activated…”

Patriarch Grand Supremum suddenly realized what was happening. Before he finished his sentence, a blinding beam of light blasted out from the Heavenly Courts’ back mountains, thrusting into the sky like a sword of god.

Countless palaces fell within the radius of the beam and were obliterated, instantly vanishing from existence!

Back when the Ancestor God chose to set up the Chaos Heavens array, he had chosen twelve spots with rich Heaven Earth Yuan Qi as the array core, and another seventy-two sub-first grade spirit vein sources as key array nodes.

These twelve array cores were where the main veins of the Chaos Heavens were. It included the Fey’s core Heaven Fey City, the humans’ Heavenly Courts, the Ghosts’ Sky River of the Netherworld among its ranks!

About two weeks ago, the seventy-two sub-first grade array nodes had been activated.

Now, it was time for the twelve main array cores!

The patriarchs present emanated their perceptions and indeed, they saw divine beams surging into the sky from their own territories!

It was the same with Heaven Fey City and Sky River of the Netherworld!

The divine beam spewed out Yuan Qi that had been accumulated in these lands for billions of years.

Now, it was gushing out like water. It was like the draining of a pond to catch fish, so how could they not feel the pinch?

As the various patriarchs felt the pain, they knew without a doubt that the Ancestor God had begun devouring the Chaos Heavens’ Heavenly Dao!

The array could no longer be stopped.

The earthquake that embroiled the entire Chaos Heavens would only turn more terrifying. Ghastly cracks appeared out of thin air as huge ravines formed at astonishing speeds. All of them spread out for millions of kilometers and went hundreds of thousands if not millions of feet deep!

This was the steepest of precipitous ridges!

And as these cracks deepened, a terrifying aura seeped out from the bottom of these ravines. It seemed to freeze the souls of everyone present as if these ravines led to the netherworld.

“This is… the force of world annihilation…”

As Godly Monarchs of the Chaos Heavens, everyone present was knowledgeable. They had often visited Great Worlds on the brink of destruction. This included Yi Yun who had been to the Azure Wood Great World which was on the brink of collapse. From there, he had learned the laws of Major Destruction.

Back then, the Azure Wood Great World was filled with corrosive Apocalyptic Fumes.

And now, although the auras suffusing the Chaos Heavens ravines were far less corrosive than the Apocalyptic Fumes, they showed some resemblance!

This meant that the Chaos Heavens was beginning to wane!

Of course, for such a huge universe, for it to totally decline, the process would probably take a billion years or more!

Even so, this phenomena of going from waxing to waning left the warriors of the Chaos Heavens feeling despondent and in despair.

Their territories were about to be fall, and the Chaos Heavens was beginning to wane. Where were they to go?
