Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 210: Chapter 182: The Beginnings of Disaster

Hearing the words of this demon creature, it seemed that this ancient tomb was not at all the tomb of the Heavenly Saint Linghua from the thirteen countries of the southern region, nor was it left for the younger generations of those countries to inherit anything!

Having suffered grave injuries while slaying Heavenly Saint Linghua, someone had set up a terrifying plot.

It appeared that this ancient tomb might belong to the Heavenly Saint of the Demon Sects who fought against Heavenly Saint Linghua and created the massive Demon Burial Abyss—the tomb of "Heavenly Saint Moya" from the Defying Demon Sect, one of the ten great Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness!

The powerful ones from the Heavenly Wind Kingdom all thought this ancient tomb was the tomb of Heavenly Saint Linghua. Who could have imagined that this was actually a Demon Sect's ancient tomb, a trap set by a Heavenly Saint of the Demon Sects?

What they could not have imagined was that even Heavenly Saint Linghua had died at the hands of Heavenly Saint Moya; they were now sending their sect disciples straight into the fiery abyss, into a situation fraught with extreme danger.

Either death sacrifices? Or live sacrifices?

To offer themselves to the master of this demon creature?

If the six great powers of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom heard this demon creature's words, they would likely be shocked to the core!

A trap set by a Heavenly Saint?

Such matters involving Heavenly Saints might change the entire standoff between the thirteen countries of the southern region and the ten great Demon Sects, possibly reigniting the great war between the southern region and the Western Wilderness!

Regrettably, at this moment, the six great powers were still waiting outside the ancient tomb, waiting for the return of the disciples they had sent into the tomb.

They were completely unaware that these disciples had already fallen into this great danger.

Just when numerous ancient rune talismans on the massive bronze coffin deep within the tomb were all lit up, countless black bubbles in the vast swamp suddenly began to furiously churn, and a mighty black wind roared and swept out.

As the surging black wind roared deep within the tomb, far from this massive bronze coffin, an earth-shattering change suddenly occurred on the ten islands at the outer reaches of the tomb.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

On each of the ten islands, a terrifying gust of wind swept by, and as the wind passed, the tomb explorers were horrified to discover that on these islands, towering pillars of black Qi, dozens to hundreds of zhang high, burst forth.

On each island, there were thirty to forty of these inexplicable and terrifying black pillars!

"What is that?"

The tomb explorers on the islands could not help but fly into the sky and look towards these black pillars.

Someone couldn't resist probing the black pillar with their controlled puppet, and when it entered the black light of the pillar, the puppet, with the combat power of a mid-level Spirit Sea, was instantly reduced to ash upon touching the black light!

This completely astonished everyone watching the scene.

The eerie black pillars that suddenly appeared had enormous lethality, making many tomb explorers' complexions change, uncertain of what would happen due to the appearance of these black pillars.

As the tomb explorers stared at these terrifying black pillars, countless divine lights soared into the sky, and numerous Legacy Treasures and secret realms revealed themselves.

The divine lights of the Legacy Treasure secret realms were far more intense than the divine lights of the Legacy Treasures many had discovered earlier!

The eerie black pillars appeared, and simultaneously, Legacy Treasure sites also emerged everywhere!

The tomb explorers had no time to react when they found that countless giant beasts on the islands were madly rushing towards the sky-scraping black pillars.

What was strange was that the black pillars, which had destroyed a mid-level Spirit Sea puppet earlier, seemed to have no effect on these giant beasts.

Not only did they have no effect, but to the tomb explorers' surprise, as the giant beasts entered the black light of the pillars, the black light seemed to mysteriously nourish the giant beasts.

The low-level great demons that initially flew in evolved into mid-level great demons within moments, and the mid-level great demons became high-level great demons. As for the most powerful high-level great demons on the islands, they underwent a shocking transformation and became Half-Step Demon Kings with immensely powerful auras!

In an instant, countless giant beasts on the islands underwent evolution under the nourishment of the towering black pillars, their strengths skyrocketing!

Although there had not yet appeared any Demon King Level behemoths equivalent to the Rotating Pill Realm, the strength of the island's giant beasts had risen to a terrifying level.

Furthermore, countless giant beasts were still surging towards the black pillars, with more behind them still undergoing evolution!

Watching this scene, the explorers on the various islands all changed their expressions.

Many of them had previously been able to slay giant beasts, but with the beasts' strength raised by one rank, many among them likely could no longer withstand the onslaught of the numerous beasts.

Even more terrifying was that, after being illuminated by the black pillar's light, the eyes of these beasts emitted a bizarre black glow, becoming incredibly ferocious.

Countless giant beasts, after emerging from the black light of the pillars with eyes casting a fierce glow, set their sights on both the Legacy Treasure sites that appeared everywhere on the islands and the tomb explorers watching these anomalies in the sky.

Roar! Roar!

Countless giant beasts rushed towards the Legacy Treasure sites, seemingly intent on seizing the treasures inside, and a large group of beasts roared as they charged towards the tomb explorers in the sky.

The island's giant beasts were actually initiating an attack on the tomb explorers!

"They've been demonized, these creatures have been demonized!"

"What in the world is this tomb, why do I feel like there's an invisible hand controlling all this!"

"Why do I feel that this ancient tomb is full of weirdness, as if it wants us to gain something, but also wants to kill many of us?"

In the skies of the First Sea Island, Liu Yan of the fifth-ranked great sect "Flame Sect," watching the horrifying black pillars surging into the sky, observing the sudden appearance of numerous secret treasure locations, and facing the savage beasts roaring and charging towards him, was also filled with astonishment.

"Regardless, I must survive this ancient tomb and obtain the amazing secret treasures within!"

"There are only seven days left until the day we enter the central giant island. The last gains from these outer islands must also be seized!"

Boom!

Liu Yan, unable to predict how the ancient tomb would change, decided not to think too much. As dozens of behemoths roared towards him, he gave a cold laugh. In an instant, he spewed a stream of purple flames from his mouth. The moment the purple flames touched the bodies of the behemoths, even the high-ranking great demons and those close to Demon King level were instantly burned to ashes!

After that, without staying any longer in the void, Liu Yan swept his sleeve and turned into an Escaping Light, flying towards the treasure secret land where endless behemoths were also swarming!

On the Third Sea Island.

Fairy Nishang from the fifth-ranked "Moon Concealing Sect" was staring at the terrifying black pillars gushing out nonstop, and at the behemoths undergoing transformations within them. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock.

"Not good! This is a technique of the Demon Sects!"

Fairy Nishang, among the cultivators from the Heavenly Wind Kingdom who entered the ancient tomb to explore, was the oldest practitioner and the most knowledgeable. She recognized the significance behind these terrifying black pillars at first glance.

"Demon Sect techniques? Could it be, this isn't the ancient tomb of Heavenly Saint Linghua at all? Could this be the ancient tomb of one of the Heavenly Saints from the ten major Demon Sects?"

"He masqueraded as Heavenly Saint Linghua, luring us into this tomb, but what exactly is his purpose?"

The normally calm face of Fairy Nishang could no longer stay composed!

"No way, even if it is the ancient tomb of a Demon Sect Heavenly Saint, I must break out!"

"Little Dingdang is still waiting for me outside. I can't afford to have an accident in this ancient tomb!"

"We've been scattered across ten islands; many strong cultivators are not together. We must gather at the central island so we can face this peculiar tomb together!"

Thinking this, Fairy Nishang's expression grew dark, and she vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, she appeared in front of a large group of behemoths. With a wave of her hand, eight high-ranking great demon behemoths were cut in two and fell to the ground. Only after they died did the black ominous light in the eyes of these beasts finally fade away.

"Yao, something's not right!"

"We must be more cautious. There's weirdness everywhere on this island!"

In the middle of the Eighth Sea Island, Jiang Yao was with three half-step Rotating Pill female disciples from the Moon Concealing Sect. At this moment, the four women, witnessing countless terrifying black pillars erupting and numerous behemoths starting to rampage wildly across the island, were all taken aback.

"Sister Ning, this ancient tomb is probably not that of Heavenly Saint Linghua. He would never let the younger generation of Heavenly Wind Kingdom face such great threats and undergo such terrifying changes."

"We must persevere, no matter what dangers we face. We must hold on until we can gather with the others on the central island!"

Jiang Yao conveyed to the leading female disciple of the Moon Concealing Sect.

"Yes, let's stick it out. Our sect's Fairy Nishang has also entered the tomb. With her here, it's reassuring!" The three disciples from the Moon Concealing Sect all nodded in agreement.

And Jiang Yao, with a worried look in her beautiful eyes, glanced out toward the sea, "Ye Chen, in seven days, we'll be able to gather on the central giant island and face this bizarre tomb together. You must stay safe!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

When seven or eight behemoths came towards the four women, Jiang Yao and the three Moon Concealing Sect female disciples immediately made their move, bursting forth in front of these behemoths.

"Demon Qi, this is the very Demon Qi of our ten major Demon Sects!"

"This ancient tomb, it seems, truly belongs to my Demon Sects!"

On the Seventh Sea Island, wearing the attire of a sixth-ranked sect member from Cloud Soaring Sect, the disciple named Xue Yue who had turned his Protective True Qi into a strange black light and killed his fellow sect members, looked at the great black pillars rising into the sky from the valley before him with a wildly jubilant expression in his eyes.

In the same valley, there were two other sect disciples. At the sight of the enormous black pillar, both of them turned pale.

When the two disciples turned and saw the ecstatic expression in the eyes of Xue Yue, they were puzzled, "Brother Xue Yue, don't you realize something is wrong? How can you be so pleased?"

This Cloud Soaring Sect disciple named Xue Yue then gave the two a sinister smile, "This disaster for you is a grand opportunity for me!"

Boom!

Just as the two beside him were still unclear about Xue Yue's intentions, he suddenly erupted with rolling black light from his body. This black light was identical to the light of the terrifying black pillar that sprouted out.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Yue killed both fellow sect disciples, who had reached the later stages of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Next, Xue Yue took the Legacy Treasure black beads from their bodies and without any further delay, he dashed into the light of the terrifying black pillar.

The light of the terrifying black pillar that no other Tomb Explorer could touch, Xue Yue was able to enter directly!

Even more bizarre was that after he entered, just like those behemoths, his strength began to surge as well!
