Chapter 1773 - 3: Unknown Life
The darkness enveloped the earth, and evil spirits reappeared in the human world.
As if they were trying to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth.
To regain their freedom.
...
Heaven and Earth.
Are about to be devoured by darkness.
In the ancient city during the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, some cultivators who did not obey orders to go out saw the evil ghosts drifting through the streets and alleys.
Scared so much that their whole bodies were trembling.
Someone let out a terrified scream and then rushed towards the distance.
Hoping to escape back to their lodging.
"Jie jie jie jie..."
The evil ghosts made a sinister sound, so eerie and terrifying that it made people involuntarily feel a chill down their spine.
Those wandering outside could not escape the fate of death.
When the evil ghosts pounced.
No one could escape.
Everyone was devoured alive by the evil ghosts.
The shrill cries echoed out on the empty streets.
Many people hiding heard such a shrill sound, and couldn’t help but turn pale in fear.
Those who died outside did so too miserably.
In the end, they also transformed into evil ghosts, drifting through the ancient city’s streets and alleys.
...
"It seems some people did not stay put, leaving their homes to be devoured by the hundred ghosts!" Lianyue Immortal said.
Lingyun Immortal replied, "Perhaps it’s confidence in their own strength, but the result went against their expectations!"
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly said, "Listen, there seems to be a sound coming from outside the city!"
Everyone listened carefully.
Soon everyone heard it.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sounds like chains clashing.
Coming from all directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Not long after, Chongli City endured collisions.
It seemed like some terrifying beings needed to break open Chongli City and surge inside from outside.
If Chongli City weren’t shielded by powerful restrictions.
Perhaps those terrifying beings in the darkness.
Would have already breached the city walls and invaded Chongli City.
For many cultivators experiencing the dark beings’ assault on Chongli City for the first time.
Fear naturally filled them.
Everything occurring before their eyes was truly too terrifying.
"A thousand years of slumber, waking only for today, on the day the celestial dog devours the moon, is when my lord returns!"
Faintly.
Lin Feng again heard a voice, vague, not particularly clear.
"Did you hear another sound?"
Lin Feng asked.
"I heard beast roars, chain clashing sounds, and no other sounds!" Young Master Hann Shan said.
"So did I!"
"I also only heard those two sounds!"
...
The others all expressed that they heard only those two sounds, but Lin Feng heard a third sound.
Although it was very vague.
But he could be sure that he truly heard it.
"Junior Brother Lin, did you hear other sounds?" Huowu Immortal looked at Lin Feng.
"A thousand years of slumber, waking only for today, on the day the celestial dog devours the moon, is when my lord returns!"
Lin Feng nodded, then relayed the vague sound he heard.
That sound only reverberated once and then fell silent.
"Really suppressed a life form?"
Everyone exchanged glances, their hearts filled with deep shock.
What was the suppressed life form? It was a life form suppressed by the Red Emperor.
Legends say the Three Emperors and Five Emperors could slay ’Primordial Life’.
Thus it’s known.
The Red Emperor’s strength had long surpassed the ’Emperor Realm’ of Fann Tao.
In those times, what he suppressed.
Was a primordial life form?
...
This was all speculation, and over the long years.
Many truths had long been buried by history.
Future generations.
Are destined not to glimpse the truth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The intensity of the dark life form’s attacks was increasing dramatically.
Their continual assaults on Chongli City sought to breach its defenses.
The defensive restrictions of Chongli City were shaking violently.
Seemingly on the brink of destruction.
"Perhaps the dark life forms outside are subordinates of the suppressed unknown life form?" Lingyun Immortal frowned slightly, feeling the situation was truly bizarre.
Since the era of the Red Emperor, countless years have passed.
Even if the suppressed unknown life form survived through some unknown method.
However.
Its subordinates should have long perished.
Yet.
The subordinates of this unknown life form still live.
A thousand years of slumber.
Waking today.
Solely to rescue their lord.
...
Young Master Mingyue frowned, saying, "For an unknown life form suppressed from the Red Emperor’s era to survive until now is already unbelievable, but so many subordinates shouldn’t have survived given their cultivation level. It’s unrealistic."
Lin Feng said, "Curse! The power of the curse! It can let them live until now! But it comes at a severe price!"
"Curse..."
Everyone’s voice shuddered violently.
This is a word no one wants to mention.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, the intensity of the dark life forms’ attacks increased even more.
The ancient city actually started to shake.
Even the buildings were shaking violently.
Crack! Crack!
Immediately.
Cracks appeared in the ancient city’s defensive restrictions.
Many were horrified at this sight.
If the restrictions of the ancient city were to be destroyed.
The dark life forms outside would come in.
Wouldn’t it result in rivers of blood?
"For countless years, these dark life forms have continued to assault Chongli City! The restrictions of Chongli City are steadily weakening! The passage of time will also diminish the strength of the restrictions, and the day will come when the ancient city’s restrictions can no longer withstand the dark life forms’ assaults."
Young Master Qiu Feng said gravely.
Everyone nodded, feeling the situation was troublesome, already bracing for the battle once the city fell.
When those dark life forms surge into the city.
Then.
Chongli City will certainly be untenable.
At that time, only by breaking through.
Can they survive.
...
"Buzz..."
Just as the ancient city’s restrictions began to crack, suddenly, emperor patterns appeared, resembling Divine Dragons, reinforcing the damaged restrictions.
The damaged restrictions were finally stabilized somewhat.
The dark life forms were extremely angry.
Launching even more frenzied attacks.
Simultaneously.
Boundless black qi emanated from beneath Chongli City.
"What’s this?"
Lin Feng and others looked solemnly towards the earth.
Endless black qi welled up from the earth.
Rumble! Rumble!
Then, the ancient city started to tremble.
"Boom!"
Following that.
As if something terrifying under Chongli City was impacting it.
Seeking to destroy Chongli City.
"It’s the suppressed terrifying life form..." Huowu Immortal said with a trembling voice.
This was truly a terrifying scene.
Under Chongli City! That suppressed unknown life form.
Now coordinated with the innumerable dark life forms outside the city, attacking Chongli City.
Crack crack!
The earth! Beginning to fracture!
Buildings collapsing one after another.
"Trouble! This terrifying life form has revived..." Lin Feng said, chills running down his spine.
Boom!
Their courtyard instantly collapsed.
A group of people hurriedly rushed out of the courtyard.
Just as they dashed out of the courtyard, a swarm of evil ghosts descended upon them, thoroughly engulfing their group of eight.
