Countless beings in the Boundless Expanse trembled with fear when they saw the scene.

 

From any world or universe, one could see that in the sky, a Realm that was covered in a black mist and bubble-like substance appeared.

 

The barriers between the worlds seem to have disappeared, becoming transparent, and the contour of the universe blurred. It

 

The mysterious Realm was so vast that it did not seem to have a boundary. It was as if this Realm stood outside the boundaries of the Boundless Expanse.

 

Wisps of black mist exuded from it, forming lakes, rivers, and oceans, as if trying to infiltrate the entire Boundless Expanse.

 

In this mysterious Realm, the ground was dark and full of chasms. Any fragments breaking off it was as massive as the sky. It was difficult to imagine what would happen when one such fragment landed.

 

As the Dark Realm appeared, the seemingly invisible barriers of various worlds and universes got revealed. Spacetime trembled from the pressure of the Dark Realm. Some areas started contorting and showing signs of collapse.

 

Around the Dark Realm were dark clouds, blood storms, black rains, and inauspicious lightning. It seemed that a Great Purge about to occur.

 

In various universes and True Worlds, countless beings looked up in fear. Not knowing what was going on, not having any strength to intervene, they could only stand there in shock.

 

Some, who had been alive for eons, left their places of retreat and watched everything unfold. Their expressions changed drastically as they felt a crawling sensation on their scalps and their backs turning cold, almost collapsing to the ground.

 

“How is this possible?” someone muttered under his breath while looking despondent. He could not believe his eyes.

 

“I knew it… I knew this day would come! It’s finally happening! Hahaha! Just wait for death, all of you… You didn’t choose to collaborate and deal with those dark beings. You should be happy now that we are facing out end…”

 

In the land of an ancient Race, an ancient being, who was thought to be dead, awakened with a pale face. He fell to his bottom. His face was livid, eyes full of despair.

 

A Junior carefully approached him and asked, “Great Ancestor, what’s that mysterious Realm? Why did you say that?”

 

They were still drowned in the joy of his appearance when he suddenly cursed with such shocking words. They were rooted to the spot upon hearing this.

 

Back then, this Ancestor was one of the most powerful experts in the Boundless Expanse. Why was he so shocked when he saw this strange scene? Furthermore, he seemed as though all hope has been lost.

 

“It’s the Land of Darkness Origin found in historical records… How is it possible that it has appeared again? Wasn’t it sealed and buried in the void of Spacetime? Other than the Great Sages who had sealed it, who else can find its Spacetime Coordinates?” His voice was shaky and filled with despair. He could hardly conceal his fear.

 

He could already envision the scenes of the Boundless Expanse’s demise. Heaven and Earth would fall into darkness. Any glimmer of hope would be drowned by the dark mist.

 

Would the era when darkness ruled over the Boundless Expanse return? All Races and Civilisations would be enslaved by darkness. Worlds would fall apart and universes would collapse. Blood and darkness would envelop everything.

 

“Huh? That’s the legendary Land of Darkness Origin?” The Junior who had asked the question was rooted to the spot when he heard that. When he came to his senses, his eyes were full of shock and disbelief as well. Then, desperation set in.

 

That day, the entire Boundless Expanse fell into a state of horror.

 

Those who knew what was going on felt as if the sky had collapsed. They had a taste of what it felt like to experience the end times.

 

Although the Black Disaster Era was in the distant past, it was not something that only lived in historical records.

 

During the current era, dark beings had returned, and occupied many Civilisations. They were still recklessly devastating many worlds and collecting nutrients for the Grand Ceremony.

 

Many initially thought this was only the invasion of the dark beings, just like what the remnants of the Black Disaster had done in the past. As such, most just avoided them if they could, and hid in their little corner.

 

However, as the Land of Darkness Origin made its appearance, they finally realised the severity of the matter.

 

The appearance of the dark beings was just a step. It was a prelude to something truly horrifying.

 

If the seal in the Land of Darkness Origin has been shattered, which allowed the Origin Lord of Darkness, who was also known as the Master of the Heaven’s Proxy Group to awaken. No one in the Boundless Expanse could possibly fend him off in the current era.

 

With the Land of Darkness Origin before their eyes, they finally panicked and started feeling anxious. A sense of fear permeated. News about the mysterious land spread quickly across various places.

 

Many initially did not know what its appearance meant, but after they heard bits of explanations, fear naturally set in.

 

No one expected the Land of Darkness Origin to suddenly reappear.

 

At first, the Land of Darkness Origin was still some distance away from the Boundless Expanse. It did not seem like it was approaching them. It only hovered above the sky as an illusory existence.

 

However, as many powerful beings used their Eye Techniques to check, they came to a conclusion that was even more despairing.

 

The Land of Darkness Origin was slowly approaching the Boundless Expanse. It was not stationery.

 

It seemed to be driven by some kind of force, falling from the void. It would soon collide with the Boundless Expanse and merge with it.

 

Still, due to its illustrious nature, no one could truly locate where the Land of Darkness Origin was or which Civilisation would be the first to come into contact with it.

 

Regardless, once it came into contact with the Boundless Expanse, it would bring about endless calamities and darkness.

 

Dark beings would surely do everything they could to draw it to the Boundless Expanse.

 

Various Forces even suspected that the Grand Ceremony held by the dark beings was the reason that the Land of Darkness Origin abruptly appeared. The ceremony might have been meant to welcome it.

 

Since the dark beings wanted to restore their past glory, they naturally had to welcome the return of the Master of the Heaven’s Proxy Group.

 

Although the dark beings were powerful, they could not go against the entire Boundless Expanse without a leader.

 

At the thought of this, various Forces felt fearful.

 

The Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance were still at war. If both parties were damaged from their war, the dark beings would be able to reap all the benefits.

 

…

 

“What’s that?” Gu Xianer stood on a hill and looked intently at the sky. She could faintly see the mysterious land covered in a black mist above the sky.

 

The land seemed to be full of ravines and valleys, but everything was vague as it was engulfed in all sorts of darkness.

 

“That’s the Land of Darkness Origin. It has returned…” A calm voice was heard sounding from beside her. The white-clothed woman was also looking up at the sky. Her face was usually emotionless, but she seemed solemn at this moment.

 

Gu Xianer glanced at her in shock and asked, “Have you retrieved your memories, Senior?”

 

The white-clothed woman shook her head. “Not yet, but I have some memories about it. Once it comes into contact with the Boundless Expanse, there will be endless calamities. Everyone will be ruled by darkness.”

 

It was Gu Xianer’s first time sensing solemnity in her voice. This showed the severity of the matter.

 

An Elder from the Waning Moon Sect had also heard rumours about the Land of Darkness Origin. He solemnly asked, “Do you have a way to stop it, Senior?”

 

Upon hearing this, the white-clothed woman fell into her thoughts. A moment later, she shook her head. “I do not know. I don’t recall many things, but I suppose there’s a way. It was sealed once. It has made an appearance probably because the seal has loosened or it’s being evoked by the dark beings. Also, even if it can be stopped, we don’t have the power to do so. There’s nothing we can do during a catastrophe like this.”

 

A slender woman with a beautiful face who was wearing a green robe and whose hair was tied up and fixed with a wooden hairpin came over. She did not seem anxious at all. It seemed that she could calmly face all this.

 

“Lady Qing Nan has a point. There’s nothing we can do during a catastrophe like this. We couldn’t even deal with the dark beings who have occupied our homeland. Why would we even dream about stopping this disaster?” The Elder from the Waning Moon Sect who had spoken earlier smiled helplessly. He was resigned to his fate.

 

The white-clothed woman looked at the sky and said gently, “What if there’s a chance? Although it’s approaching the Boundless Expanse, it’ll take some time for it to arrive. Perhaps this is the chance given to us by Heaven.”

 

“Senior is right. We shouldn’t give up before the end of everything. But before that, we’d better continue on our journey. We’ll soon reach the Nine Heavens. Perhaps we’ll find a solution once we arrive at our destination,” Song Yu said just then.

 

They had been on the move during this period. Because of the war between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance, they had been avoiding universes and routes that might have been affected. That was why it was taking them so long.

 

They had also intentionally avoided the territories of dark beings to prevent inviting trouble.

 

[For some reason, the pressure I feel has intensified…] Gu Xianer pocketed her gaze and thought to herself.

 

Be it the demise of the Waning Moon Sect or the war between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance, she felt a greater sense of urgency to become stronger.

 

Now that the Land of Darkness Origin had appeared, that feeling intensified. It was to the point where she felt suffocated.

 

Qing Nan was right to say that there was nothing they could do during a catastrophe like this. However, she had a hunch and there was a voice telling her to step forward and stop all this. It was as though her existence was meant to deal with this calamity.

 

It had been hundreds of years since the war broke out between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance.

 

A hundred years might be the entire lifetime of a Mortal, but to cultivators who reached a certain realm, a hundred years would pass in the blink of an eye.

 

To the Forces within the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance, this period of time was merely the beginning. Since time immemorial, there had never been a war between Civilisations and True Worlds that would end in hundreds of years. It would take over tens of thousands of years, or several epochs for a large-scale war to end.

 

The war between juggernauts such as the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance was even more intense, which meant that it might last even longer.

 

No one knew when the war would come to an end or for how long the chaotic situation in the Boundless Expanse would last.

 

…

 

Mist of Chaos surged from ancient battleships as they traversed across Spacetime and the River of Time to arrive at this place. Many powerful experts of the Heavenslayers Alliance showed up on the decks of these ships.

 

Many Star Territories were connected, and vast universes were between them. There were also all sorts of broken Spacetime Rifts.

 

Chaos Energy permeated the place. Many broken lands flew across the universe like fragments, destroyed by a horrifying force. Traces of the violent war were littered everywhere.

 

High-ranking officials of the Heavenslayers Alliance like Ling Yuling, White Bone Ancestor King, Hun Yuanjun, and Chu Xiao had gathered in this place. There were also leaders of the Forbidden Areas such as Mu Fuguang and Tong Xian.

 

“A mysterious powerful expert from the Righteous Alliance appeared during this period. Many of our Ancestral Dao Realm experts were defeated. Some were almost killed. I suspect this mysterious expert has something to do with the mastermind behind the Righteous Alliance. Ancestral Dao Realm experts who had exchanged moves with him couldn’t even see his true appearance. It’s only known that he’s clad in a white robe and elusive. His power is inscrutable. Wherever this mysterious expert shows up, we’ll surely suffer losses. Our soldiers are not a match for him. If we don’t stop him, the outcome of the war will be affected.”

 

White Bone Ancestor King was clad in a black robe. His face was shrivelled and his gaze was deep as his eye sockets were sunken. He looked at the clamorous battlefield and spoke solemnly.

 

“I’ve heard about it. That mysterious white-robed person is far more powerful than the average Ancestral Dao Realm expert. I’m afraid we’re also not a match for him.” Chu Xiao said seriously.

 

Ancestral Dao Realm experts had the power to affect the outcome of the war. As the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance fought each other, it depended on which side had more Ancestral Dao Realm experts.

 

When this mysterious expert suddenly made his appearance, it caught the attention of the high-ranking officials of the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Certainly, it had not come to a point where they were fearful, just waryl. After all, they were aware that the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader was exceedingly powerful. The mysterious being posed no threat to Gu Changge.

 

A high-ranking official of the Heavenslayers Alliance could not help but look at Ling Yuling and ask, “Senior Yuling, should we ask those beings to make a move to find out how powerful this mysterious white-robed person truly is?”

 

The leaders of Forbidden Areas such as Mu Fuguang and Tong Xian rarely made a move, but these high-ranking officials were aware that they were unfathomably strong. Ordinary Ancestral Dao Realm experts were not a match for them.

 

But now, Ling Yuling seemed oblivious to what he said. Her long hair swayed with the wind and there was no emotion on her flawless face. She lifted her head and glanced at the boundless Dark Realm outside the sky. She seemed to be in a dazed state as if walking down memory lane.
