Chapter 395: The Great Reckoning
"Crack!"
The black storm swept across the sky and the ground. There was a sound of shattering on the beach. The weapons of the Immortal King emerged and exploded in the void, completely destroyed.
The tranquility of this sea area was broken. For thousands of epochs, it has always been peaceful here. As long as you don't try to land and touch the dark land, there will be no dark storm.
But now, the dark land has taken the initiative to blow up a terrifying dark storm.
The dense runes are like locusts passing through, attacking the magnificent sea. These are runes of the quasi-immortal emperor level. For the immortal king, it is like the most terrifying thing in the world. Even the powerful body of the immortal king cannot stand in the storm formed by the quasi-immortal emperor runes, and will be riddled with holes in an instant.
The ancient immortal kings sitting cross-legged on the islands and reefs suddenly opened their eyes and looked at this shocking scene. They were horrified and felt the breath of death.
Although they didn't know why the dark land suddenly rioted, the kings knew that if they didn't evacuate in time in such a terrifying dark storm, they would definitely die.
However, none of the kings set out immediately. The reason was simple. In order to come here, each immortal king paid a huge price.
For some of them, their mother world was destroyed and turned into dust. Their relatives and friends were all buried in the years. The only thing left was the obsession of breaking through the king realm. Now, the dam is in front of them. The secret of becoming an emperor is in the world behind the dam. How can they leave easily after waiting for so long?
At this moment, many distracting thoughts came to their minds. Some people thought that it was better to evacuate and return here when the dark storm weakened or stopped. Some people thought that the dark storm would not stop once it started. This sudden change was definitely related to the eighteen ancient halls of reception heading to the other side of the boundary sea hundreds of thousands of years ago. Some people even speculated that there was a great opportunity hidden in danger and light in darkness.
The opportunity was gone in a flash. 70% of the immortal kings chose to evacuate temporarily and flee to the depths of the boundary sea.
The dark storm was too terrifying. Even if one stood at the top of the Immortal King realm, it was difficult to survive such a disaster.
After a mental struggle, the remaining 30% of the Immortal Kings chose to stay.
They sat cross-legged on the islands and reefs in groups of three or two, using this natural barrier to resist the dark storm.
At first, the natural barrier could still hold up. After all, these islands and reefs had experienced the erosion of waves for countless years and had already acquired extraordinary secret powers.
However, as time went on, the dark storm intensified, becoming more terrifying than at the beginning, and there was no intention of stopping at all.
Those creatures who thought that the dark storm would end in a short time miscalculated. Looking at the terrifying and boundless storm, they were pale and powerless.
Those creatures who believed that there was vitality in the darkness and chose to stay on the islands and wait for the opportunity to land also miscalculated. The dark storm covered the sky and the sun, and there was no gap. It was like a sky net that covered the entire sea area. Not to mention the landing opportunity, even the way to leave the sea area had been blocked.
30% of the Immortal Kings missed the opportunity to leave, and it was too late to regret it at this time.
The only thing they could do was to hide behind the natural barrier and hold on, hoping that the storm would stop as soon as possible.
However, the dark storm was cold and ruthless. It started from the dark land and ravaged the boundary sea. The immortal kings fled like dogs that had lost their homes.
Finally, the natural barrier could not hold on any longer. There was a "crack" sound. The invisible barrier in the void that blocked the dark storm actually showed terrifying cracks, like broken porcelain.
"No!"
The ancient immortal king hiding behind the barrier widened his eyes, showing an unbelievable look, full of fear.
They could never have imagined that the sea area that had been calm for hundreds and thousands of epochs would suddenly be swallowed up by the dark storm, and everything would be destroyed.
According to their original speculation, it should be a disaster that would happen in the next epoch. The so-called great reckoning was born from this. However, in just a few hundred thousand years, the sky changed drastically and it was a chaos.
If the dark storm continues to blow towards the other side of the boundary sea, then one day, the entire boundary sea will no longer have a foothold. At that time, all the immortal kings who crossed the sea will return to the heavens, and that will be the great reckoning that makes people shudder.
"Is the great reckoning ahead of time? How could this happen?" An ancient immortal king roared, and thousands of auspicious colors bloomed all over his body. He is an almighty giant, and his illustrious reputation has been endless in ancient history. He rose in the era of the emperor's fall, and there are too many legends about him.
But now, he chose the wrong way, missed the opportunity to escape, and chose to hide on an island.
Now, the barrier emitted by the island is about to collapse, and the seven immortal kings sitting on the island will also usher in the end.
Everyone was terrified and trembling from the depths of their souls.
The next moment, with a "bang!", the island barrier broke, and the dark storm was no longer blocked, surging and ravaging the entire island.
The seven ancient immortal kings did their best to resist, but they still could not avoid the fate of death.
Even their screams were swallowed up by the dark storm.
Soon, other islands and reefs were lost one after another, and all the kings who stayed behind were buried in the vast sea.
And those ancient immortal kings who chose to escape were not doing well either, because the speed at which the dark storm eroded the boundary sea was so fast that even the best of them could not keep up and were almost swallowed up.
They were still in shock, how could they dare to stay? They quickly chose the shortest route they knew and rushed to the other end of the boundary sea.
"This speed is too terrifying. In less than a million years, the entire boundary sea will be covered by the dark storm and there will be no place to stand." A supreme giant said in horror.
"A million years? Didn't you see that thing is getting faster and faster? In my opinion, 200,000 years is about right. If it goes on like this, sooner or later we will be caught up and swallowed up." Another creature spoke up, also ranked in the realm of supreme giants.
"What should we do? In 200,000 years, we simply can't cross the boundary sea and return to the heavens and the worlds."
"If we had known this, why did we do it in the first place? It's all because of greed. Otherwise, how could we have ended up like this today when we evacuated with fellow butcher?" Someone was full of emotion.
"Perhaps, the dark storm has something to do with the eighteen ancient reception halls back then." An immortal king guessed with a dim look in his eyes.
"Whatever the reason is, it doesn't matter. What matters is how we can return to the heavens in just 200,000 years."
"Ask for help from the heavens. The dark storm will never blow for no reason. Something must have happened in the heavens." A tall and majestic figure spoke.
He stood in the dense chaotic air, surrounded by the rules of the great way, unfathomable, like a seed of Tao.
If there were immortal kings from the primitive ancient world here at this moment, they would definitely recognize that this was the supreme being who created the Tao seed method. He is currently an immortal king with the same Tao as the butcher.
Hearing this, the kings nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, the dark storm was raging and was about to devour everything on the sea of boundaries. For the immortal king of the sea of boundaries, any grudges and causes and effects were not important. What mattered was how to save his life.
Among the ancient immortal kings who escaped from the sea in front of the other shore, there were not only immortal kings of the immortal realm, but also immortal kings whose mother realm had been destroyed, the founder of the Tao seed method, and even the most ancient immortal king of the foreign realm.
This group of people walked together tacitly, not for anything else, just to keep warm together. If they were caught up by the dark storm, they could also resist for a while. If they walked alone, they would definitely be the first to die.
As soon as the founder of the Dao Seed Method finished speaking, an ancient immortal king began to cast a spell to ask for help.
Those immortal kings whose mother worlds were destroyed naturally had no help to ask for. The kings from the fairyland, the primitive ancient world, or foreign lands were different. They left a backup plan before crossing the sea and left anchors in their respective mother worlds, which would prevent them from getting lost and going astray when they returned.
Now, these anchors have played a big role.
The creatures fleeing on the sea of boundaries are not only these ancients who have reached the other side, but also countless immortal kings who stopped to rest along the way. Each of them has a great background and belongs to a complicated force. However, in the face of a disaster of the level of the dark storm, all beings are equal. If you don’t run, you can only wait to die.
At the same time, in the vast fairyland, faint fairy sounds came from several extremely ancient fairy king families. The anchors left by the kings who had been out to sea for countless epochs and were older than Qi Yu were actually transmitting information.
Their descendants, some quasi-fairy kings and true immortals, stood and knelt in front of the anchor point, listening to the message from the ancestor.
After a long time, their pupils shrank slightly, and some could not believe that such a powerful ancestor was actually asking for help.
Obviously, their ancestor giant encountered danger on the boundary sea, and in desperation, they could only send a signal for help to the fairyland.
A group of quasi-fairy kings and true immortals looked at each other. A giant as strong as their ancestor was asking for help, who could respond?
In an instant, they thought of Emperor Hengtian and the butcher.
"Quick, report the news sent back by the ancestor to Lord Hetian and Lord Butcher."
The same thing happened in the primitive ancient world.
Many life forbidden areas that fairy kings were unwilling to touch had strange fluctuations in one day.
In the ancient bronze door, a faint fairy music was played. Time was long and vast. Indistinctly, a large tomb could be seen struggling to cross the ocean.
On the Tianjian Peak that soared straight into the sky, the sword energy was crisscrossed and cut everything.
In the Taichu Ancient Mine, where weirdness and opportunity coexisted, a whispering voice came out, as if calling for something.
In the foreign land, in some ancient imperial clan ancestral lands that were about to be forgotten by the years, huge blood and qi columns soared into the sky, breaking the tranquility of the foreign land.
Even the burial ground had strange phenomena, and a large tomb swallowed dark red clouds and mist, awakening the burial king.
…
All kinds of strange phenomena naturally attracted the attention of the kings of the four realms. The matter was of great importance, so they did not dare to neglect it. They came out of retreat one after another to discuss the source and cause of the strange phenomena.
When the butcher learned of all this, he immediately came out of retreat and visited those ancient fairy king families in person.
The burial masters and chicken farmers in the burial area were also alarmed and personally descended on those abnormal large tombs.
"It seems that the so-called Great Reckoning has come ahead of schedule. The dark storm has blown from the other side of the sea and is blowing towards this side of the sea." The butcher sighed.
"Before we left, the place was still calm. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have lasted for one or two epochs. Who would have thought that after just a few hundred thousand years, there would be no place to stand." The chicken farmer also sighed.
The future years will be a chaos, with many variables, and no one knows what will happen next.
However, judging from the dark storm that has been blowing and intensifying, a war far beyond the battle of the fairyland is approaching.
They had long learned from Wang Heng the truth about the dark heaven, the dark kingdom, the reincarnation of the worlds, and the great reckoning.
The dark storm was not naturally generated, but the work of the dark quasi-immortal emperor.
The reason for this is to force the immortal kings wandering on the boundary sea back to the heavens and the worlds, and then catch them all in one net and harvest them all.
In the past, in the years that have long been broken, such things have happened more than once. The dark storm formed by the quasi-immortal emperor's talisman can well prevent the fish from slipping through the net.
The boundary sea is too vast, even the quasi-immortal emperor cannot have a glimpse of the whole picture. In this case, if there are a few creatures hiding in the depths of the boundary sea, they can hide the truth and survive the great catastrophe of the reincarnation of the worlds. In this way, it is not a real reincarnation, and they know the truth of the past.
Only by catching them all in one net and starting over can it be considered a real reincarnation.
"With the speed of the dark storm, most of the Taoist friends who are fighting to cross the boundary sea will not be able to come back, and will be swallowed up and die." The funeral master said.
"What should we do now? We can't watch them die in the boundary sea with our own eyes." The chicken farmer frowned.
The butcher thought for a while, his eyes looking in the direction of the Hengwang Universe.
"I think the only way is to ask for help from Emperor Hengtian. Perhaps, only the Quasi-Immortal Emperor can do it."
When the name "Emperor Hengtian" was mentioned, the surrounding Immortal Kings calmed down. This name seemed to have an indescribable magic that could calm the turbulent heart.
"That's right, we can only ask for help from Emperor Hengtian."
Soon after, Wang Heng, who was looking into the particle world, overlooking all living beings, and observing the growth of the fruit of the system, heard the voice transmission of the butcher and others in his ears, briefly telling the shocking changes that had occurred on the boundary sea.
Wang Heng retracted his gaze and stopped the process of enlightenment and cultivation.
At this time, just three thousand years had passed since the great victory in the battle of the Immortal Realm. Wang Heng relied on the improvement of his Taoism to recover most of his injuries. The remaining small half of the injuries did not affect his combat power much. Compared with the battle of the Immortal Realm, Wang Heng was much stronger.
He stood up, pushed open the dusty stone door of the secret room, stepped out, and came to the kings in just one step.
Many strong men have gathered here, from all four realms, including butchers, funeral masters, chicken farmers, ancestral spirits, Kundi, Wushang... all of them are influential giants.
The sudden change in the boundary sea seems to be a signal of the coming of danger, which makes people feel uneasy, so the strong men from the four realms gathered together.
"Meet Emperor Hengtian!"
"Meet Emperor Hengtian!"
"Meet Emperor Wuditian!"
...
The kings spoke, shouting out different titles.
Wang Heng nodded in response, and then said: "Go to the dam realm!"
