Chapter 53 - Emergence of Darkness 3 (2/2)

Though she hadn't known that Scared Grounds were enemies from the start.

Outside, the atmosphere was getting tenser with every passing minute.

Whenever someone gazed at the dead land, they could see black shadows moving from time to time, indicating living activities inside.

Many cultivators have already left to check on the dead land per their sect's orders, but none has come back yet.

This tensed the already tensed atmosphere even more.

Now, most of the sects were waiting for other bigger sects to move. They didn't want to be vanguard anymore.

As they were waiting, another meeting was going on inside the dead land. Since it was covered with dark miasma, it was hard for people to see inside. And taking the fact that it was covering the area of million miles, it was not strange that people didn't know that there were people inside this godforsaken place.

At the forefront of this army was a giant throne made of different bones of Divine Beasts which should be impossible as no such beast existed on the Profound Continent.

On the throne sat a man. He wore simple green robes, his body was lithe and limber, his long black hair was left free falling at his back, reaching his waist. His face is thin and sunken; his features were completely ordinary.

Yet the aura that was being released from his body was enough to scare any cultivator on Blue Pole star — Peak of Divine Origin Realm! If one gazed at his eyes then they could see eternal darkness sleeping there, waiting for the right time to come out.

It was Xuanyuan Wentian! Master of missing Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.

He looked at his side where an old man stood and said, ”Are they still not here, Heartless?”

Heartless hearing him bowed as he said, ”They would be here soon master.”

Wentian hearing him smiled, ”I can't wait to take over this world. And once I take over this world, Primal Chaos will be next!” he said.

”Don't be too conceit, Wentain! You still are not strong enough to do that. You don't know the horror of those in darkness yet!” A slightly young voice came from the sword at his side.

Hearing it Wentain raised a brow, ”You are saying as if you know them.” He said.

The sword hearing him snort, ”Know them? If you were alive during the ear of gods and devils, then you would know the true terror of that side. You should be grateful that Gods and Devils killed their overlords or this world would have been finished long ago!” it said.

It had knowledge from the forgotten era that people of today still were unaware of. All they knew was that era of gods and devils ended when devils used one of the Heavenly Treasures, Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations.

But it seems that there was more to it.

Wentian hearing him smirked, ”They are strong indeed. I won't deny it. They are at the top of Primal Chaos but for how long? Someone would take their position sooner or later. Why can't it be me?” he said.

”Humph! If it was that easy to take them out, then Gods and Devils would have done that long ago.” It answered.

Xuanyuan Wentian hearing him become quiet. He knew that he was not strong enough, but it didn't matter to him. Sooner or later he would reach their level. So what if he has to grovel before them before that? As long as he lived, he had a chance to reach the top and he would do anything to reach it.

Thinking here, Wentian gripped his fist as dark profound energy released from his body. Though it was dark profound energy, it had something else mix with it that made it look even more sinister.

'Just a little more…'

At this time, Sword Attendant Heartless said, ”They are here master,”
