If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 997 Terrifying Chaos

A white-robed immortal opened his eyes, his gaze filled with weariness. He looked up at the starry sky, his pupils beginning to glow with an unusual light. Before long, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

Sitting next to him, Li Ya was also circulating his internal energy to recover. Li Ya seemed to sense something and opened his eyes to look at him.

"what happened?"

Li Ya asked the question, his brows furrowed, also fearing that something might suddenly go wrong.

The white-robed immortal, who was peering into the distance, replied with a look of displeasure, "Something is not right. I sense that some kind of cause and effect is enveloping my Rejuvenation Stone."

Upon hearing this, not only Li Ya, but also the expressions of the other merit immortals changed.

Having fought side by side for so many years, they had come to believe that the White-Robed Immortal's judgment was almost never wrong.

"Again?"

"Why do I have a feeling that it's not just Cang Ming who's eyeing us?"

"Indeed, what exactly attracted them? I have a feeling that those unknown beings are capable of annihilating us."

"No matter what, we must persevere; the Heavenly Court will not let us down."

The merit-making immortals were discussing amongst themselves; some were complaining, some were speculating, and some were praying.

As Li Ya recalled his past experiences, he felt that he had missed something.

His gaze swept back and forth among the immortals, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Just then, billowing black gas appeared out of nowhere in the starry sky at the edge of the earth, churning and surging, and in a very short time it covered the starry sky, plunging the earth into darkness.

The immortals of merit all stood up, ready for battle, including Li Ya.

They looked up and saw terrifying, monstrous shadows flitting across the dark sky, moving with astonishing speed.

Sudden.

Pairs of scarlet eyes appeared in the dark sky, varying in size, all looking down at the earth, bringing immense pressure to the merit immortals.

A terrifying aura appeared, making the Merit Immortal's heart pound with fear, and even the most composed Merit Immortal showed a look of despair.

This time, the danger was far greater than before, and they were already surrounded with no way to escape.

"Not yet ripe."

"The Heavenly Emperor's ambition is truly enormous; he wants to monopolize the Primordial Will?"

"The Heavenly Dao already possesses a primordial will; it truly should not be greedy any further."

"This primordial will is too weak. Is it really as powerful as the legends say?"

One voice after another rang out as they discussed amongst themselves, none of them showing themselves, clearly not taking the Immortal of Merit seriously.

The Primordial Will?

Li Ya seemed to have thought of something and looked at a female meritorious immortal.

The female immortal clearly realized this as well, and her right hand instinctively reached for her waist, where a purplish-red brocade pouch hung.

The mysterious beings in the darkness gradually began to quarrel, vying for control of the Primordial Will. They completely disregarded the Immortals of Merit, which made the Immortals of Merit's faces grow increasingly ugly, as they felt humiliated.

Those who achieve immortality have all endured hardships. Even in despair, they will not give up the fight. Even if they die, they will fight with all their might before they die.

Some of the meritorious immortals have already infused their magical power into their magical treasures, preparing for battle.

Rumbling--

The earth began to tremble, which made the Immortal of Merit even more nervous, thinking that the enemy was preparing to attack.

Before they could think any further, the darkness in the sky was suddenly dispelled, and a dazzling blue light squeezed into the eyes of the merit immortals, dispelling the rolling black mist surrounding the continent like flames.

The immortals stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief, and Li Ya was equally astonished.

An enormous azure star filled the entire sky, as if it were about to crash into their continent. They saw terrifying demons being sucked onto the azure star, some resembling humans, others like primordial beasts, and no matter how much they struggled, they could not break free from the azure star.

The roars and curses continued, filling the merit immortals with both fear and confusion.

They had never seen such a scene before. The enormous blue star seemed to be feeding as if it were alive. Even though it did not speak, it brought the Immortal of Merit a great sense of horror.

The demons attached to the surface of the stars exuded a terrifying aura, proving that they were not weaklings. Many of these demons reminded the merit immortals of the supreme immortals in the Heavenly Court.

Such a powerful being appeared so helpless at this moment, and the immortals of merit felt fear towards this blue star.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

Li Ya was also filled with fear; how could such a terrifying being exist in the chaos?

Will the azure star devour them along with them next?
The white-robed immortal who controlled the continent looked panicked and hurriedly shouted, "I can no longer control the Rejuvenating Creation Stone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a meritorious immortal leaped up, attempting to escape the continent.

As soon as he took flight, he was pressed down by an irresistible force and fell to the ground. He staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.

Other merit-making immortals followed suit, but they were all suppressed. The merit-making immortals became increasingly frantic and began to use various methods to try to break out. Their magical power was dissolved by an invisible force as soon as it took to the air, which made them even more desperate.

Regardless of what the immortals of merit were doing, the blue star continued to devour the power of those evil spirits, and those evil spirits gradually vanished into thin air and ceased to exist.

Before long, the voices of the demons completely disappeared, and the merit immortals also gave up resisting.

They stood on the earth, gazing up at the blue stars, waiting anxiously.

However, the blue star did not move; it simply hung silently at the edge of the earth, exuding a sense of oppression.

silence!

The immortals of merit stared intently at the blue star, not daring to even breathe.

The ground beneath their feet trembled once more, and the blue stars began to recede, rapidly shrinking into the distance and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Even though the blue star had disappeared, they still dared not let their guard down.

for a long time.

One of the merit-making immortals cautiously asked, "Could it be that we have escaped a calamity?"

Someone broke the silence, and the other merit-making immortals began to speak.

"What was that just now? Could that star be some kind of chaotic being?"

"I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

"Could they be sent by the Heavenly Court?"

"Impossible, it doesn't have a trace of the Heavenly Court's fortune on it."

"What terrifying power! I think it came to protect the primordial will that the demons spoke of."

What exactly is the Hongmeng Will?

The merit immortals discussed amongst themselves, while the white-robed merit immortal who controlled the continent immediately cast a spell to accelerate the continent's progress.

Li Ya was still savoring the scene he had just witnessed, marveling at how deep the murky waters truly were.

Those demons were incredibly powerful, yet they were easily devoured; the cruelty of chaos is awe-inspiring.

Li Ya felt that he was still too weak. Having ideals was useless; strong power was the foundation for achieving everything and the most important source of confidence for survival.

The immortals chatted for a while, then fell silent, needing time to process what they had learned.

Seeing that the female merit-making immortal didn't seem to have any intention of revealing the truth, Li Ya suddenly realized that this group of merit-making immortals wasn't as pure as they appeared on the surface.
