Ascension

"Wow!"

The three sickle-shaped dark moon suddenly went out.

The creatures standing in the Sunless City, no matter they were humans or spirits, felt as if a cold hand was strangling their throats in an instant. If they dared to scream - even if they made the slightest sound, that hand would break their necks and give them the final death.

The change of era... has begun!

At this moment, eternal night falls and everything is silent.

However, saints like Ye Ying and Ye Roufeng have yet to see the stars bloom.

With every transition of an era in the past, barren lands might give birth to vibrant life, majestic mountains might stand tall on low plains... all kinds of strange and bizarre sights would be born in the heavens and all worlds.

This is a normal "change of the world".

Lucky creatures will be blessed, and it will be easy for them to extend their lifespan and improve their status.

Creatures that are despised by heaven and earth, such as old guys who have lived too long and occupied too many resources but are reluctant to die, or evil beasts such as disasters, evil, and famine, will be judged by heaven and helped to "be liberated."

This time... nothing!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the deep night sky is infinitely lonely, as if lurking a terror big enough to distort the soul.

"when--"

The first bell rang, and before anyone could respond, the second, the third... were like turbulent waves pushing from behind, striking the soul fiercely and swiftly.

There was silence in Wuri City.

The saint was like a child, with his dark eyes losing their luster, his soul wandering in the sky, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"Something strange..."

The Blood Witch God King remained absolutely sober and subconsciously whispered in the language of the Witch Clan:
"It is quite normal that God does not bestow gifts."

"No punishment... why?"

"Could it be that the Lord Wushen has attained the status of a god and thus revitalized the clan's fortune?"

Wu Xuelu got rid of the stiff state and analyzed calmly:
"The Ye family has been passed down for too long, and the world is not pleased."

"But you are a newly promoted witch god after all, representing the Dark Lamp. If you were to be murdered right after you achieved enlightenment, the Heavens would not be able to tolerate it if they had any face."

"It's still a little strange..."

The Blood Witch God King did not easily accept Wu Xuelu's judgment. His ten bloody fingers pointed into the void, as if he was deducing the secrets of heaven.

Just as the bell rang for the last time, He opened His eyes, bloodshot from His pupils, and He seemed to be thinking:
"Perhaps because the Dark Lamp has been sealed, this place has become a law vacuum zone and is temporarily not included in the considerations of heaven and earth."

"So this time, Mingdeng had neither good luck nor disaster. Everything was stable and went smoothly."

The Blood Witch God King changed the subject, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the re-lit Scythe Dark Moon, his handsome face full of solemnity:

"Next, it's time to decide your fate!"

"The seal...is rapidly disintegrating."

"The barrier protecting the Dark Lantern Abyss will completely disappear in a hundred breaths at most."

"With my eyesight, I can already sense that there seems to be a true god lurking outside the Dark Lamp. His aura is like a raging sea dragon. He should not be underestimated."

"Hey! It seems that ten thousand years is not enough for all the races in the heavens to forget the Dark Lamp!"

Bertner still looked dashing, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a pair of golden fangs that shone brightly:
"Now that the Clown King is dead, the Mortal Abyss should not be a concern."

"Over at the Cloud Sea, they have lost the Light Witch God, and the Witch Godhead is left in the Dark Lamp, so I don't think they will pose a threat."

"Among the rest, the Bad Land Abyss is probably the more difficult one."

"The Great Emperor of the Inferior Land is a famous double-god with a crown, in charge of the law of filth. If he leads the army to attack, the catastrophe of the Dark Lantern will still be more disastrous than auspicious."

Ye Ying, who looked like an old woman, quietly grasped a weapon, and while checking the densely packed notches on the blade, she said calmly:

"If we are going to die anyway, I can die on the battlefield or on the land with a clear conscience."

"But...Rou'er, you should have made additional emergency preparations, right?"

"Ah."

Ye Roufeng nodded, calmly:

"There will be several holy spirits who are good at speed or space magic, taking a group of children and escaping from the Dark Lantern."

“Whether it’s the Ye clan, the Three Curse Ghost Monks, or the Blood Witch Clan, as long as there are still descendants alive, there is unbreakable hope.”

"This time, they are the living party, and we are the dead party."

"The Ye clan has experienced many ups and downs in the past 130,000 years. This last ten thousand years was forcibly continued by the ancestor Shi Tian. For the next ten thousand years, even if we try to shake a tree with an ant, it will be better than sitting and waiting to die."

"With this arrangement, there is no need to worry."

Ye Ying grinned, revealing his sparse remaining teeth, and his smile was cold:

"As an old woman, I have lived enough in this life."

"We should have calmly accepted our death last time, but Shi Tian insisted on getting there before us, making us old men lose face."

"Now that the enemy is approaching, a battle is inevitable. Let me take another look at whether I can kill one more demigod before I die!"

When Ye Ying said this, his cloudy eyeballs became clear again, and his limbs and torso became upright and strong again as if a last ray of light had returned.

The several broken pieces floating around him all released a rebellious spirit, and the edge that had been concealed by the years reappeared in the world again.

"Mingdeng, listen up, everyone on alert!"

"With the previous experience of Hongchen and Yunhai, the enemy who dares to attack this time must be a jackal, a tiger or a leopard. When we meet them, we must kill them with all our might!"

"Yes!!"

In Wu Ri City, most people could not hide the panic and fear in their eyes.

But they forced themselves to calm down, and then dispersed among the various bunkers according to the previous drills, preparing for the battle to the greatest extent possible.

"No... The number of enemy gods entrenched outside the Dark Lantern is a bit strange..."

As the time of a hundred breaths drew closer, the Blood Witch God King went from being calm at first to becoming doubtful:
"One, two, three, four, five... How could this happen?"

"Evil Earth Emperor, count him as three god-level warriors..."

“But I can sense more than ten kinds of divine auras…”

"In the world outside the Dark Lantern, how many gods are eyeing my Dark Lantern covetously? Just after it was unsealed, they are already thinking of joining the flock and sharing the food?"

"what?!"

Bertner was so shocked that he didn't even bother to use honorifics. He said with an exaggerated expression:

"Xiaoye, is this a trick of deception?"

"In all the heavens and worlds, once you achieve the status of a true god, you will be qualified to conquer a large world and become the king."

"If a force has two or three Conferred Gods, it must be the top supreme force."

"For example, the Mechanical God Mountain, the Inferior Abyss... or when the Shura King was alive, they were all the strongest and looked down upon all living beings. Even the gods of the same rank avoided them for fear of causing trouble."

"You said there are more than ten kinds of divine auras. Even if the seven abysses were broken into pieces, they would not be able to produce such a huge number of gods."

"Although my Mingdeng Ye clan has made countless enemies, the clan leaders of all generations have been decisive in killing and basically killed those who could be killed. Even if there were frictions with the rest, they were wary of me. Why would the Mingdeng Abyss attract all the clans to hunt us together?"

The more Bertel talked, the more absurd it seemed to him. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't understand the mystery.

But the person who spoke was his own son. Now that he had become a wizard god, he knew the weight of his words. Looking down at the holy spirits around him, he naturally knew it.

“It doesn’t look fake…”

The Blood Witch God King concentrated on sensing for a long time, and his throat felt like it was rusted and became increasingly difficult to speak:

"The divine fluctuations overlapped, like the four seas boiling, with a magnificent momentum..."

"I have never sensed such an oppressive life magnetic field. The calamity of the Dark Lantern is ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times more serious than we expected..."

Ye Ying, Ye Roufeng, Ye Tieqi… all the saints of the Ye clan were stunned.

"impossible……"

"There has been peace and tranquility for the past ten thousand years. Even if there are enemy gods coveting us, why are they making such a big fuss... How free are they that they are all staring at us, the Dark Lantern?"

The high morale of the Ye Xuan people plummeted to the bottom. If the gap between the enemy and us was not big, there would still be suspense of a fight to the death.

Ten times as powerful as the Blood Witch God King, any number of them would be enough to make him unable to split himself.

The rest waved their hands, how could they survive under the Conferred God? Wouldn't they all turn into ashes in a single thought? How could they still have the ambition to bite off a piece of flesh at the cost of their lives?
"The seal has been lifted. We can tell whether it is true or false at a glance."

The Blood Witch God King suddenly took a deep breath, and the blood river immediately reversed. The darkness faded away, and the sky turned translucent. Faintly, a corner of the image of the outside world was transmitted.

"Yin——"

A fire phoenix, hiding in a pillar of fire that reaches the sky, seemed to sense something and glanced back.

Bertner had no doubts, his chin almost dropped to the ground, and he spoke incoherently:
"The Hundred Refined Phoenix Queen...hiss, this is the guardian deity of Vulcan Mountain..."

"He has a part of the blood of the ancient Suzaku, and has been famous for a long time. The flames he uses are extremely hot, and he himself is particularly difficult to kill..." "When did my Mingdeng Ye clan provoke him? Looking at his eyes, he is clearly murderous, as if he wants to slaughter us..."

"Wow—"

The second scene was reflected in the night sky. It was a giant, perhaps ten thousand meters tall.

The visual impact of His towering presence is as if all living beings are only fit to crawl at His feet. If they want to spy on His every word and action, they can only look up at Him, and then they will feel more timid.

"Titan God... Is this the master of the Giant Valley?"

"When King Shura was alive, there were indeed some frictions with them, but most of them were caused by the giants and our ancestors being more belligerent, and they were all resolved 'peacefully' in the end."

"Giants are usually quite straightforward. Why are they holding grudges and suddenly bringing up old scores?"

Bertel still couldn't close his jaw. He was not only stunned, but also felt that the dignified Saint King, whose father was deified, had numb limbs and was unable to mobilize any strength.

Then, the third picture, the fourth picture... one after another, the Spicy Demon King, the Eighteen-winged Divine Angel, the Ginseng Marshal... the bodies of the gods appeared briefly.

Sunless City - you can hear a pin drop!
At this moment, no matter whether they are saints or mortals, the blood in their bodies is no longer hot, as if it is filled with endless frost, and their flesh and blood souls are on the verge of collapse!
"What happened in these ten thousand years?"

"We stayed inside the Dark Lamp and had no contact with the outside world. Could it be that the members of the Death Clan who were out there had caused trouble?"

The old and frail Ye Tianming was horrified and couldn't even breathe.

In the end he even began to talk nonsense, and his suspicions became increasingly unrealistic.

At that time, Ye Qianmo, Ye Shu, and Ye Qiangwei all looked at him as if he were a fool.

Even if the first ancestor, King Shura, was resurrected, he would not be able to cause such a mess.

The tribesmen sent out are all potential stocks, but there should be an upper limit to this potential, right? Such a huge formation that has never been seen before and will never be repeated, could it be that the graves of the ancestors of these gods were dug up, making them so angry that they joined forces to attack at all costs?

"Damn it, it's worth it to die in the hands of so many gods!"

Ye Tianming woke up from his trance and stomped his cane, looking both furious and timid:

"Gods bear witness to the destruction of the Dark Lantern!"

"Ancestor Shura, Ancestor Shitian, if Huang Quan knew, he would definitely not blame us!"

"They will only think that future generations are extremely awesome!"

"What other tribes could not do, Ming Deng was able to do. He was able to provoke all the gods. His name will be recorded in history for thousands of years!"

There was a hint of forced grief and indignation in Ye Tianming's voice.

The sky is so big, the earth is so big, but there is only the Ye family!

With such a great reputation, even if the clan is destroyed, what is there to regret? Don't you think so?

"No, they seem to be fighting?"

The Blood Witch God King remained silent for a while, and when he suddenly broke the silence, everyone was startled again.

More images began to appear above my head.

Just like countless fragments pieced together, those ambiguous scenes suddenly became flesh and blood, more real.

"boom!!"

The Titan punched a giant flea, but the giant flea was very agile and jumped onto the Titan's back in a few flashes.

His insect limbs were extremely sharp. Even a giant deity was scratched by him a few times, and not only was his body cracked, but the surrounding flesh was also stained with a strange black color, as if it contained a deadly poison. It was a very serious injury.

"Chucky!"

The Green Ivy Fairy built a forest castle, with trees growing wildly around it and vines piercing through it like swords.

But the god that fought with him actually had only one leg.

The leg looked like it had just been dug out of a grave. It was deeply rotten and covered with white maggots that were crawling in and out. It was ugly and stinking.

Green Radish Fairy's face turned pale for a moment.

Seeing that the forest castle was breached layer by layer, He spat out a mouthful of emerald green divine blood, and erected a forest palace, doing his best to strengthen the defense.

The Hundred Refined Phoenix Queen, the Ginseng Marshal, the Spicy Goddess, the Spicy Demon King, the Eighteen-Winged Divine Angel...all the gods are fighting hard.

The strange gods that repeatedly forced them into trouble were all hideous deformed beings with evil auras.

Even if one peers through the abyss, one can sense their twisted malice from the inside out.

The Blood Witch God King, Wu Ye, whose bloody finger that was deducing the secrets of heaven stopped moving, and there was no expression on his face.

"He is a deity from the Three Evils system."

"The number is too large, exceeding nine, which goes against the iron rule of one lineage and three gods."

He whispered, his mind moving like lightning, and further deduced in his own way:

"They seem to be divided into two camps..."

"The deity we saw just now seemed to be guarding the entrance to the Dark Lantern... the Long Night Corridor."

"What has happened in these ten thousand years?"

"In just such a short period of time, Mingdeng has fallen into such a turmoil. Surrounded by wolves, it has tigers to help it... How strange."

"Wu Shen, how should we proceed?"

Wuxuelu, Wuxuebi, Wuxuewan... members of the Blood Witch Clan all looked uneasy and asked for advice earnestly.

Seeing is believing. The problems facing the Dark Lantern Abyss are far beyond imagination.

But now that things have come to this, we must act.

If those evil gods invade the Dark Lamp, no matter how many saints there are or how powerful the holy beasts are, they will be nothing more than fish on the chopping board and be eaten up by them.

"The vast sea is raging, and we are just a lone boat. We can only adapt to the situation as it arises."

The Blood Witch God King's eyes focused, and he suddenly flew higher:
"You guys stay in the clan protection formation and don't come out."

"The barrier of the Dark Lantern has melted away. There are too many hostile gods with malicious intent outside. If any of the aftermath cuts in, you won't be able to stop them."

"Wow!!"

As soon as the words fell, a ray of black flame streaked into the dark lamp, and the dark night seemed to fall into a cold sky.

"Tree of blood, dance of leaves."

The Blood Witch God King said this lightly, and a flash of blood appeared from his chest, like a seed planted into heaven and earth.

Instantly, a blood tree rose from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it split into hundreds of branches, each of which was crystal clear blood red, shining and gorgeous.

The black flame had no chance to cause any trouble before it was blocked by the blood tree.

But Bertel, Ye Roufeng, Ye Ying... the second strongest people who stood at the top of the holy beasts or the top of the saints, saw it clearly.

Just one strike, a very brief collision, and the blood tree withered in half. The destructive power of the evil flames was extraordinary.

"Wow... the Dark Lantern is born..."

"According to the order of the great king, we will capture the Dark Lantern and devour all the creatures there alive, leaving no one alive!"

In a mirror full of light and brilliance, three dark moons were suddenly reflected, as well as the figure of the Blood Witch God King shrouded in blood light:

"Inside the abyss, there is another god!"

"Kill Him! Eat Him!"

"Ming Gu's power is weakening. If he wants to destroy all the heavens and worlds, the Dark Lantern Abyss is the last hurdle!"

The mirror spirit let out an ear-piercing laugh, and everyone who listened to it trembled all over.

"O fallen gods, what are you waiting for?"

"The King recognizes your strength. You should gain more of His trust with solid combat results..."

“Swish! Swish, swish, swish!!”

The air was filled with dust and smoke, and the murderous aura was even worse.

In the long night corridor, a group of uninvited guests came again.

Leading the way is the "Ancient Spirit God".

His eyes were hollow, as if they had been skinned alive.

The elf's long hair, which was originally filled with rich elemental power, was all shaved off, turning it into a bald head.

He should have been wearing gorgeous divine clothes, but now he was bare-chested and backless. The blood hole in the middle was big enough for one person to pass through. Half of the colorful elf blood was dyed black, and when it gushed out, it left a pool of dirt.

Beside Him, Hercules, Dog Tyrant, Blue-spotted Spider God, Magnetic Witch God... some gods who were either famous or extremely low-key, all looked scarred.

They all lack pupils, have evil patterns on their bodies, and some have even evolved weapon-shaped organs, like beasts without minds, with no rationality left.

"The polluted and fallen god..."

The Hundred Refined Phoenix Queen spewed out a mouthful of blazing fire, her eyes were cold and she said:
"If we get seriously injured or lose our composure, we might end up like them... Be careful!" (End of this chapter)
