After wiping out the three great sects of the Middle Reaches, the River-Defying Sect had reached the pinnacle of power. Countless rogue cultivator clans bowed to them, and that was especially true after Bai Xiaochun's trip to the Starry Sky Extreme Dao Sect in the Upper Reaches. Even the other Upper Reaches sects feared the new River-Defying Sect, and didn't dare to provoke them.
The River-Defying Sect was quiet and peaceful, and the atmosphere of cultivation was very strong. That was especially true now that the troublemaker Bai Xiaochun was no longer around. Everyone was very enthusiastic about cultivation, and although there were occasional explosions, everyone was used to it. In fact, they seemed very pleased with themselves.
After all, what more could they ask for when Bai Xiaochun was no longer a threat to them?
On that particular day, the disciples of the River-Defying Sect went about their daily routine. They listened to the familiar rumbling sounds, and acted as if no one else was around to hear them. When the tremors hit the ground, the disciples of the River-Defying Sect didn't pay much attention to them. After all, this sort of thing happened every few days, so it wasn't a big deal.
However, this time, the frequency of the tremors was much higher and the duration of the tremors was much longer than before. Although the tremors were gradually being suppressed by the sect's formation, for some reason, all of the Core Formation cultivators in the sect had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
RUUUUUUUMBLE!
The earth rumbled once again. However, this time, the tremors did not spread to other parts of the sect. The wave-like tremors surged towards the forbidden area at the back of the mountain again and again. It was as if a terrifying existence had awakened in that area.
Patriarch Blood Stream swallowed hard, a look of fear on his face. "Frigidsect," he said, "if I recall correctly, there's a fire vein beneath the restricted area in the back of the mountain, right?"
"That's right," Patriarch Spirit Stream said. "It's because of the fire veins there that it's perfect for pill concocting and equipment forging. The spiritual energy there is also far more abundant than anywhere else. That's why Senior Clearheaven chose that place for his secluded meditation!"
"We're done for …" Patriarch Pill Stream murmured. He stared blankly at the black palace floating in the air above the forbidden area. He looked like he was about to cry.
Boom!
Under the horrified gazes of the Ancestors, a scorching aura suddenly spread out from the place where there was no mountain peak. Then, a crimson dragon soared into the sky. The terrifying heat spread out, and even the space was distorted by the heat. The impact and sea of fire that could tear apart the sky instantly overturned the black palace in the air and swallowed it. The entire sky was drowned by the crimson fire dragon, and the black palace was nowhere to be seen.
Chun! "
An enraged roar echoed out from within the sea of flames, accompanied by terrifying sound waves that filled all of the lands of Heavenspan. Even Bai Xiaochun, who was hiding in the depths of the canyon, could hear the voice clearly, and knew that it was filled with malice. Therefore, he couldn't help but shrink back a bit, an expression of grievance on his face.
"What did I do?"
"I've been hiding thousands of miles away to refine pills. I even guided the explosion underground. How did I provoke that old monster?"
Crack! Crack!
Even as he sat there feeling wronged, dark clouds began to gather in the sky above the valley. Tens of thousands of bolts of lightning began to descend, riddling the surrounding mountains with hundreds of thousands of holes. The terrifying power of the lightning cleared away all of the haze that had been caused by Bai Xiaochun's pill concocting.
Crackle!
Crackle! Crackle! Cheng Hao stepped out from within the sea of lightning. Now that he had gained enlightenment of the Dao of his own body, and had reached the level of the true form of his fist, his every thought was capable of causing all of heaven and earth to tremble.
Lightning crackled, and lightning bolts filled the sky. Terrifying heavenly might filled the entire land mass, and it was obvious that Cheng Hao was truly enraged.
The first time he conjured some flame, he destroyed the mountain peak where I went into secluded meditation. The second time he concocted some pills, he destroyed the palace where I went into secluded meditation. If this happens a third time, then I'm finished!
"Bai Xiaochun!"
Cheng Hao looked down at Bai Xiaochun, who stood there on the edge of the cliff, looking very uneasy and aggrieved. Inwardly, he felt a bit helpless. Bai Xiaochun really was a born god of plague. Every day that he didn't cause any trouble seemed to be the way to go.
Unfortunately, the kid was the main character, blessed with destiny. Furthermore, he had the backing of Bai Xiaochun, someone who could control the river of time. He really was a hot potato, and anyone who tried to take him in was doomed.
"Senior, what did I do this time? I've been following your orders the entire time. I've been in this canyon, and I haven't been conjuring any flame. You can't just accuse a good person because you're in a bad mood! "
Cheng Hao wasn't very happy, and Bai Xiaochun was feeling very wronged.
"I've been kicked out of the River-Defying Sect, and I've been doing nothing but concocting pills in this canyon. What did I do to deserve this? Why does this old freak Haotian keep coming after me when he's in trouble? There's no way I'm going to take the blame for this! "
The two of them stared at each other. After a while, Cheng Hao sighed. He clenched his fist and casually tore at the void. Instantly, a spatial tunnel was torn open by him.
"I need to go into secluded meditation for a while," he said. "Therefore, you troublemaker, why don't you go wreak havoc in the Starry Sky Extreme Dao Sect?!"
Ignoring Bai Xiaochun's complaints, he waved his sleeve and sent out an invisible force to lock Bai Xiaochun in place, then drag him into the spatial passageway that led to the Starry Sky Extreme Dao Sect.
WHIZZZ!
After Bai Xiaochun vanished into the spatial passageway, Cheng Hao sent out spatial fluctuations that smoothed out the passageway. Then he strode off in the direction of the River-Defying Sect.
As he strolled through the air, Cheng Hao couldn't help but sigh. This world had long since surpassed the level of a Minor Chiliocosm. It was still a bit of a stretch to call it a Medium Chiliocosm, and would soon be destroyed. What a pity.
"It won't be long before this world is destroyed," he thought. "The Essence of this world is going to vanish, so why not leave it to me?!"
