Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 363 The Primordial Darkness of the Universe, the Ancient Outer Gods

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the God of Steam and Machinery walked to the center of the nine-tiered Altar of Heaven, facing the old emperor's coffin with a solemn expression.

He began to recite passages of obscure, difficult-to-pronounce ancient language, as if from the beginning of the universe.

These syllables are not from any known language in this world; each note seems to carry a strange weight, stirring a resonance with the surrounding world.

As he chanted, the patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, gods, beasts, and birds carved on the Temple of Heaven seemed to come alive, each one shining with a soft and ancient light, especially the nine different divine beast patterns, which shone the brightest.

At the same time, the nine ancient imperial tombs in different locations seemed to be summoned and began to tremble simultaneously!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ————

Nine enormous pillars of light, each a different color but equally thick and imbued with immense dragon energy and the essence of the earth's veins, shot into the sky from the location of the nine tombs, piercing straight into the heavens.

The beams of light tore through the clouds, resembling nine colossal pillars supporting the heavens and earth, clearly visible even from distant borders.

The entire sky of the Eastern Continent was illuminated by this nine-colored pillar of light, its vast energy waves sweeping in all directions, causing the wind and clouds to change color, the mountains and rivers to murmur, and countless living beings to feel awe from the depths of their souls in the face of this extraordinary phenomenon.

The energy of these nine towering pillars of light seemed to be drawn by the Temple of Heaven in Dongshan, crossing space like nine galloping energy dragons, converging on the Temple of Heaven!

"Buzz!!!"

In the center of the Temple of Heaven, nine-colored energies converged, compressed, and collided wildly, eventually forming an extreme singularity that devoured all light!

The next moment, the singularity transformed into a silent, absolute darkness!

An indescribable darkness spread from the center of the Temple of Heaven, seemingly containing the "primordial darkness" that existed before the birth of the universe, after the end of all things, and the final destination of all matter and energy.

In the face of this darkness, even the concepts of light, space, and time become blurred.

[Essence·Primary Darkness of the Universe]——Born!

This fluctuation, containing the ultimate laws of "darkness" and "destruction," was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly triggering a chain reaction!

Beyond Earth, in the cold, desolate vacuum of space.

Those massive wills that had been orbiting like satellites, radiating an aura of corruption, madness, and destruction, completely erupted at this moment!

They were like sharks that had smelled blood, emitting silent yet powerful shrieks and roars that could shatter the souls of ordinary stars.

That moon-sized being composed of countless fleshy tentacles, and several other unnamed Great Old Ones—

They had almost completely lost their minds, recklessly and frantically crashing against the protective barrier around the Earth.

An ancient shield that is almost invisible!

"Boom!"

"Thump!!!"

Each impact unleashed terrifying energy ripples powerful enough to easily shatter ordinary planets, distorting the starry sky and causing the protective shield to fluctuate violently, as if it might shatter at any moment.

At the ceremony, the God of Steam and Machinery gazed at the "Primordial Darkness of the Universe," a place where the birth and death of stars and the return to nothingness of black holes were constantly evolving. His eyes revealed undisguised awe and reverence as he murmured, "This is—Primordial Matter—the supreme entity containing a complete pathway of laws!"

"If the Goddess of Night were to obtain it, with her profound understanding of the power of darkness, she could absolutely devour and absorb it on the spot, naturally transforming it into a new pillar of the old!"

Li Boyan, Wen Zhiyin, and others also had solemn expressions. They could feel the terrifying power contained in that darkness, a power far beyond their comprehension, a primal force capable of rewriting the rules of the world.

Li Xijun stared at the "Original Darkness of the Universe," gaining a deeper understanding of the malice of the person behind this world.

To seal such a crucial source substance in the Eastern Continent and to set up a cruel ritual that requires the emperor's death to activate it—their intentions are truly despicable!

However, under his powerful divine sense, he did indeed "see" the incredibly alluring scene contained within the source essence.

That is the ultimate mystery of the universe, the manifestation of the law that all things return to silence, and the shortcut to supreme power.

He tried to probe it with a wisp of divine thought.

"boom!"

In just a moment of contact, even though Li Xijun was already at the second level of the Thunder Tribulation and had a soul strength close to that of a Yang God, he felt as if he had been thrown into an invisible black hole vortex. His soul power was frantically drawn out like a floodgate being opened, and a violent dizziness and exhaustion struck him. His mind swayed, and the mental image in his sea of ​​consciousness almost became unstable and cracked with tiny marks.

He immediately withdrew his divine sense, his face slightly pale, his heart filled with incomprehensible shock: "Is this the complete power of the laws? Just a single attempt at comprehension has consumed such terrifying amounts of energy—"

No wonder those powerful beings at the Great Vajra Realm in the main world need to spend countless years painstakingly comprehending the laws in order to break through to Martial Saint; the difficulty far exceeds imagination!

Without further hesitation, Li Xijun activated the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Si Xiang Jue" (a technique involving the four elements of the Zhou Tian constellations). Relying on his connection with the White Dragon King's authority and the human fortune of this world, he used the power of humanity as a guide and carefully enveloped the "Cosmic Origin Darkness" that seemed capable of devouring everything with the power of his own inner universe.

The process was exceptionally slow and difficult, as the source seemed to instinctively resist all outsiders.

But with Li Xijun's perseverance and exquisite control, the extreme darkness slowly receded, transforming into a fist-sized black crystal that seemed to be crafted from the solidified night sky, with stellar vortexes slowly rotating inside. It was successfully incorporated into his inner universe, floating quietly beneath the Golden Core and Dharma Image.

After the source material was collected, the nine pillars of light that reached the sky slowly dissipated, and the strange phenomena in the world gradually subsided.

Li Xijun breathed a sigh of relief and led everyone, including the God of Steam who had been reinstated into the Light Mandala Barrier, away from the Eastern Mountain Imperial Mausoleum.

Regardless, he wiped out the Seven Gods and gained Source Essence today, so he should celebrate properly with Su Youli tonight!

Meanwhile, in the frigid void beyond Earth's orbit, the frenzied attacks did not cease.

The mad and twisted will of the Great Old Ones, like a relentless storm of destruction, continuously bombarded the invisible shield protecting the blue planet.

Their forms are beyond human comprehension; some resemble flowing mountains of flesh, extending countless tentacles; others are like twisted geometric shapes, constantly changing...

Some take on shapes that defy the laws of physics; others are completely hidden in invisible dimensions, their existence revealed only by pure malice and the energy released upon impact.

Each impact caused the shield to ripple violently, like waves on water, its light flickering as if it were under unimaginable pressure.

The shockwaves from the impact dissipated, easily crushing the distant asteroid belt into dust.

If someone were to stand beside this star battlefield, they would clearly perceive that, under the relentless and frenzied attacks, or perhaps due to the intense stimulation of the emergence of [Origin Matter - Cosmic Darkness], the invisible shield that had protected the planet for countless years seemed to be dimmer than ever before, and its fluctuations were becoming increasingly violent, as if its internal structure was undergoing some kind of change.
