#929 - Darkness invades, breaks out
With the Lord of Yin Spirit Mountain killed and the commander-in-chief dead, the Yin Spirit experts led their army, retreating like a tide back into Yin Spirit Mountain.
“You barbarians from a low-level cultivation civilization, this era will eventually be buried. No one can stop the fate of this realm's destruction!”
The Yin Spirit experts, from within the mountain, looked down upon the Zhuxian Dynasty, their chilling voices echoing out, beneath them a dense mass of Yin Spirit soldiers.
“Just you?”
Jun Wuxie had now determined that the realm passage opened by the Yin Domain's firmament had significant limitations. Experts of the Myth realm couldn't pass through, making the Yin Domain's firmament relatively less terrifying.
His main focus wouldn't be on the invasion from the Yin Domain's firmament.
He returned to the dynasty, standing in the high sky, his life star frantically devouring the Yin Spirit experts, converting that profound Yin Domain True Qi into pure spiritual energy.
People saw him transform into a source of energy, vast power surging from within him, scattering throughout the space within the dynasty's barrier, inundating the dynasty's million-mile territory with pure energy.
This energy was so immense that it quickly condensed into clouds, floating in the high sky, and the space was filled with many ribbon-like mists formed from condensed energy.
He was storing energy, using the enemy as a resource supply.
The current battle didn't even count as a preliminary probe. When the doomsday torrent completely arrived, the consumption in battle would inevitably be terrifying.
This stored energy would be perfect for helping the Black Armor Army quickly recover their physical exhaustion.
“Boy, see how long you can be arrogant!”
The Yin Spirit experts sneered repeatedly but didn't lead their army to attack, all staying in Yin Spirit Mountain, as if quietly waiting for something.
“Yin Lan, you, Yuzhu, and the experts from the Xuanyuan clan will command a portion of the Black Armor Army, responsible for resisting the Yin Domain firmament's attack! Elder Xing Baitian, you bring Xingmeng and others to support here. Lingfei, Wanwan, Qingyue, you and the experts from the Myriad World Ancient Academy will follow me to deal with the dark creatures!”
Jun Wuxie looked towards the floating Dark Continent in the east, where the dark aura was becoming increasingly intense.
Moreover, deep within the floating Dark Continent, dark energy surged out, condensing into black bridges on the void river surrounding the Dark Continent.
These black bridges, under the influence of dark energy, continuously extended, dozens of miles wide, gradually crossing the void river, extending from that special space-time, connecting the Dark Continent to this world.
“I'll go to the front, you set up formations and defend the city!”
After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he vanished like a stream of light, instantly arriving before the Dark Continent.
He stood in the air, standing before the bridge connecting this realm to the Dark Continent, his clothes fluttering, his thick black hair dancing wildly under the surging dark energy.
“Open the city gates! March out of the city and form ranks, prepare to meet the enemy!”
The commander of the Black Armor Army opened the heavy city gates.
Instantly, tens of millions of Black Armor soldiers marched out of the city in an orderly fashion. At the front were a million special Black Armor cavalry, all riding unicorns.
These unicorns, after being nurtured in the dynasty's excellent environment, had not only recovered to their peak but had also grown considerably, now all in the Extreme Heavenly Position realm.
“Black Armor Army, all units, listen to the order! Form arrays of one hundred thousand men each, arrayed horizontally, absolutely do not allow the main force of the Dark Army to impact the city's barrier!”
The commander of the Black Armor Army waved the bright red battle flag, and each unit of the Black Armor Army quickly arranged their formations, forming a hundred large arrays of one hundred thousand men, lined up to guard outside the eastern city.
Boom!
The Black Armor soldiers heavily slammed the Black Armor shields in their hands onto the ground, causing the entire earth to tremble.
Every soldier had a solemn expression, but their eyes were filled with iron-blooded killing intent, and a chilling aura surged across the vast battlefield.
“Soldiers, the Dark Army is about to attack, do you have the confidence to stop them before the city!”
The commander of the Black Armor Army roared to the three armies, his voice impassioned, drawing out the battle sword with a clang, pointing it towards the Dark Continent.
“Yes!”
The tens of millions of soldiers of the Black Armor Army replied in unison, their response exceptionally firm and confident.
“What are we!”
The commander of the Black Armor Army asked loudly.
“We are the dynasty's steel wall, vowing to protect the mountains and rivers unharmed!”
“Good! Remember your oath, remember your responsibility and glory! The dynasty will not forget us, the people will not forget us, all living beings will not forget us! It doesn't matter if we die, as long as our parents, brothers, sisters live, our children are still there, then our lineage will not be destroyed!”
… …
“After the darkness, I wonder how many familiar faces we will still see…”
There were tears in Qingyue's eyes. Born in such an era, no one could escape.
This era was cruel, despairing, but fortunately, there was an invincible figure standing at the forefront, which was the most solid faith in the hearts of all living beings, and also the faith in her heart.
Perhaps, in despair, they could carve out a glimmer of hope.
“Under the torrent of the era, everyone's life is very fragile, but fragile lives also have an indomitable determination, vowing to compete with the torrent of this era, and to win or lose with the darkness!”
Two kinds of bloodline rune lights were flashing on Shangguan Wanwan's body, one pink and one blood-colored, and a fierce killing aura permeated from her body.
Lingfei was silent, the scene she was about to face reminded her of those dark years in the Forest Realm.
At this moment, one small and one large figure came to the east city wall.
It was Su Xiaoxiao pulling Chan'er.
Chan'er was very quiet, just staring quietly with her big, blinking eyes at the back of Jun Wuxie, who stood proudly in front of the Dark Continent.
Su Xiaoxiao's body was flowing with green life true qi, and there was a trace of compassion in her beautiful eyes.
Rumble!
From the depths of the Dark Continent, a earth-shattering roar suddenly came.
The dark mist there was dispelled, and black-as-ink metal warships appeared, rushing out of the abyss at the end.
The warships were huge, carrying densely packed Dark Armies, neatly arranged, wearing black armor and holding black spears.
Warships rushed out of the abyss in the depths of the continent one after another, heading towards the Dark Bridge connecting the Dark Continent to the outside world.
Each warship had more than a dozen Dark experts in the Myth realm.
Jun Wuxie himself was also a Myth, so he was especially sensitive to experts of this level.
Darkness had finally invaded, and the doomsday torrent had fully erupted!
Outside the east city of the Zhuxian Dynasty, the Black Armor Army looked at the warships riding the wind and waves in the Dark Continent, and couldn't help but tighten the shields and Mo Dao in their hands. Everyone's fighting spirit was boiling.
Before the dark black bridge, Jun Wuxie's aura was rapidly rising. Taiji Star Sea and Primordial Disassembly were running together, the golden blood qi was rounded, and the Imperial Word Art was added.
He stood at one end of the Dark Bridge, appearing so small and weak in front of the mighty Dark warships.
One ship, two ships, three ships…
In this wave of Dark Army alone, there were hundreds of warships, and the number of Dark Army was in the billions.
At the very rear of those warships, there was a particularly large black metal chariot, on which stood ten Dark experts, one standing at the very front, and the other nine standing behind him.
“Fifth Heaven of the Myth realm!”
Jun Wuxie activated the Primordial True Eye and saw through the strength of the leading Dark expert. The other nine Dark experts all had the Fourth Heaven of the Myth realm!
Their chariot followed behind, a long distance away from the warships traveling in front.
“Lord Jun, should we send people to support you?”
Jun Wuxie received messages from Qing Yushang, the Lord of the Extraordinary News Tower, and the Great Ancestor of the Ancient Starry Sky Road.
Through the Starry Sky Rune Communicator, they saw the terrifying scene of the Dark invasion of the Emperor Beginning Star, and their hearts sank.
The number of Dark Armies there was too terrifying. According to speculation, the total number of Myth realm experts on all the warships was nearly ten thousand, which was too terrible.
These Myths were not the pseudo-Myths who had forcibly sublimated by relying on the [Divine Forbidden Pill] from the Upper Realm, they were true Myths, and they were dark creatures who cultivated dark energy!
“Defend your defense lines, no matter what the battlefield of the Emperor Beginning Star becomes, you all must be nailed to your defense lines!”
This was the answer given by Jun Wuxie. If those defense lines were broken by the darkness, then the entire Emperor Beginning Star Territory would be attacked by the darkness from all directions.
“But…”
“No buts, execute the order!”
Jun Wuxie closed the rune communicator.
“How can there be so many Dark experts in the Myth realm…”
Jingya appeared in the east city, heading towards Jun Wuxie.
“Aunt Jing, don't come over. You stay there and help Lingfei and the others kill any Myth-level Dark experts who are missed. I alone am enough here!”
“Little guy, don't be brave!”
Jingya's expression was extremely solemn. Such a battle was too terrifying, and despair arose in her heart.
“There is no retreat, there is no choice! Leave the front to me, and leave my back to you!”
After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he turned back to look at the Dark Continent. Those warships were about to reach the Dark Bridge.
“Hahaha!” On the chariot at the very rear of the Dark Army, the Dark Commander stared at Jun Wuxie from afar, revealing a contemptuous sneer: “You stand before this space bridge, could it be that you want to use your own strength to stop my Dark Army?”
As the Dark Commander's voice sounded, the warships that had sailed to the bridge all stopped.
“Roll back to your world, and your lives can be spared!”
Jun Wuxie spoke coldly, his voice like ten thousand dragons roaring in unison. The rolling sound waves impacted outwards, causing the warships to shake, and the Dark Army on them were all shocked and covered their ears.
“Mere creatures from the lower realm of the Bright Universe, dare to be so arrogant. What do you have to resist us? Rely on your fearless courage?”
The chariot slowly ascended, and the Dark Overlord on it looked down at Jun Wuxie, saying, "My Dark Universe has waited for countless years, nurturing this universe, just to wait for it to recover on its own. Now is the time to harvest its origin! All living beings standing in the way of the great darkness will be reduced to ashes!"
After he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and a gray-black mist surged across the sky, instantly reaching the Bridge of Darkness and rushing towards Jun Wuxie.
Instantly, an evil and eerie aura filled the sky and covered the earth, surging like a tide, engulfing Jun Wuxie.
That was the Curse of Utmost Darkness.
The curse energy and will rushed into Jun Wuxie's body, and his Fate Star rapidly spun, generating a powerful devouring force, swallowing all the curse energy and will.
The Millstone of the World rotated, purifying the curse energy and will.
"Hmm?"
The Dark Overlord's pupils violently contracted, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
That human youth was actually not afraid of the erosion of the Curse of Utmost Darkness?
This made him feel unbelievable. How could this be?
That Curse of Utmost Darkness was a secret curse technique inherited from the great Ancestor of Darkness. This secret technique had a fatal suppression effect on the living beings of all the universes, but now it had actually failed!
"No wonder you dare to stand there. So you are not afraid of curses! This Overlord would like to see what you will use to resist my dark army! All troops, listen to my command, charge!"
The Dark Overlord pointed forward with the war戟 in his hand, and immediately dozens of dark battleships lit up with the light of brilliant runes. Great formations were activated on them, and they charged forward through the Bridge of Darkness. The dark energy of slaughter on the battleships surged forward, sweeping onward.
Jun Wuxie threw a punch forward, and the tenfold power effect of the Dou Character Secret was triggered. The golden fist print, like a brilliant sun, covered the entire Bridge of Darkness, colliding with the dozens of battleships that charged out.
The dark army and Myth Realm experts on them all attacked in an instant.
Rumble!
Golden blood energy and dark energy exploded at the same time, impacting the River of Void, stirring up countless waves.
With one blow, cracks spread all over dozens of battleships, and the magic formations on them were almost instantly obliterated. Most of the battleships collapsed on the spot, and the dark army on them, except for the Myth Realm experts, were all shattered into minced meat.
"Charge!"
On the shattered battleships, hundreds of dark experts killed towards Jun Wuxie, and dark war 戟 slashed through the sky, fiercely killing down.
At the same time, more than a dozen battleships with cracks all over them took the opportunity to rush across the Bridge of Darkness and sailed into the distance.
Jun Wuxie wanted to stop them, but at this moment, the second batch of dark battleships launched an attack.
He had no choice but to stop and wave his fists, facing the hundreds of dark experts. The River of Mortal Dust beneath his feet surged, stirring up monstrous waves. Every time a huge wave was stirred up, it derived endless Mortal Dust Sword Qi, continuously killing towards the battleships on the Bridge of Darkness.
Clang!
A piercing metallic tremor resounded through the eight wastelands. All the dark war 戟 that slashed down were shaken back, and some were directly blasted to pieces.
The golden fist print was indestructible, blasting more than a dozen dark experts in the air.
At this time, the second batch of dozens of dark battleships charged over, braving the Mortal Dust Sword Qi. Many of them were shattered by the sword Qi, and a large number of dark creatures on them died, but some still rushed out and quickly sailed towards the Immortal Slaying Dynasty.
"I didn't expect that the Lower Realm of the Bright Universe would produce a strong person like you, but you want to stop our progress with just your own strength. Wishful thinking!"
The Dark Overlord was very shocked. In the past, every time they launched the Doomsday Torrent, although they also encountered resistance, they did not waste much effort to make this universe fall.
Moreover, in the past invasions, there were not so many Myth Realm experts coming at all.
In this era, so many Myth Realm experts came, and the first two waves of attacks suffered heavy losses. Hundreds of Myth Realm experts were killed!
Every time that human youth threw a punch, a Myth Realm expert on his side would fall, making his eyes twitch.
"Woo!"
The dark war horn sounded, and the third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave…
Dark battleships launched continuous attacks, each wave having dozens of battleships.
Although most of the battleships were shattered every time they charged, and a large number of dark troops died, some battleships still carried the army out.
The number of Myth Realm dark experts facing Jun Wuxie was increasing.
From the initial hundreds of people, it quickly increased to the current thousands of people.
He was completely surrounded by dark experts, so he could not stop the last three waves of dark battleships, so that they all sailed out smoothly.
Faced with such an encirclement, even if Jun Wuxie used all his secret techniques, it would be difficult to bear.
The overwhelming attacks made it impossible for him to dodge.
The space here is extremely limited.
He could not expand the battlefield, otherwise it would affect the Xuanjia Army and the imperial capital.
The Qiankun Battle Armor was awakened, covering his body, and a hazy moonlight flowed. The sun ring composed of ten rounds of great suns behind him rotated.
With the 90% absolute damage reduction provided by the battle armor, he did not dodge or avoid, and sacrificed the Primordial Sword Embryo. The sword Qi crisscrossed, sweeping in all directions.
The dark experts gathered into many groups, forming joint attack formations with each other to resist together, and took his sword Qi.
Although they were shocked by the sword Qi, their arms were numb, and the Qi and blood in their bodies were churning, the sword Qi did not cause substantial damage to them.
"Human youth, seeing that you are so talented and amazing, this Overlord is willing to point you to a way out, submit to the great darkness!"
The Dark Overlord drove the chariot to the front of the Bridge of Darkness, looked at Jun Wuxie fighting with thousands of dark experts across the River of Void, and said coldly, "You are very strong, but unfortunately, it is difficult to reverse the torrent of the times. In the face of the great darkness, you are just a mayfly trying to shake a tree! Under the siege of thousands of strong people, you will be exhausted to death!"
