This crack was even more ghastly than a scar made by a knife on a body of flesh and blood.
Cultivators who had experienced the fissure a hundred thousand years ago were afraid of it. Even after a hundred thousand years, the fissure was still the greatest mental demon of all cultivators.
This was the spot where the Great Abyss and the Great Void merged.
If the Great Void were to undergo fissure, it would mean that history was about to repeat itself.
Among the beasts, the Queen Mother of the West said with a grim expression, "The fissure is starting."
"The fissure is about to begin?"
The apocalypse had come. The calamity had begun.
The beasts were restless. The sky above the Great Abyss, where the Heavenly Opening's upper core was filled with a strong will to battle, the scent of insanity, and madness on the verge of collapse!
Shang Zhang's voice pulled everyone back to their senses.
"The collapse of the Great Void is inevitable. Even if you're an ancient god, you can't stop it. Moreover, you're saints and beasts left behind from the ancient times. Your lifespans are the closest to the end. Even if the sky doesn't collapse, do you think you can survive? "
The Queen Mother of the West was very calm. She said, "Even if the Great Abyss can exist for one more day, it's the right of all beings to live. What right do you have to take it away?"
Emperor Shang Zhang was about to argue when Si Wuya flew over and cupped his fists.
"That's not right. The collapse of the Heavenly Opening has nothing to do with us. How can we be the ones who took their lives?"
The Queen Mother of the West said, "That's not right.
Tell this little girl to stop immediately and use all her power to repair the fissure. "
Si Wuya said with a smile, "That's unreasonable. If you know it's useless, why don't you take away the power so that the future generations can face the disaster better?"
"How do you know it's useless if you haven't tried?" The Queen Mother of the West's eyes were spirited. When she met Si Wuya's gaze, she saw the faint red glow in his eyes. She was slightly puzzled. "Ling Guang?"
Si Wuya merely nodded. He did not deny his identity.
In a sense, he was Ling Guang, the God of Fire.
The Queen Mother of the West said in disappointment, "The Four Spirits of Heaven's mission is to protect the balance of the world. Why are they colluding with these humans to destroy the Great Void and the balance?"
Si Wuya smiled and took out four talismans.
With a wave of his hand, four images appeared in front of him. They were the White Tiger Sentinel, the Winged Dragon guarding the Red Lotus, and the Azure Dragon guarding the Golden Lotus.
The Queen Mother of the West found it hard to believe that the three of them had appeared.
"The four Heavenly Spirits have always adhered to their mission, and it has always been so for the past 100,000 years. Even gods had to face reality. Queen Mother of the West, you're an ancient deity. You've contributed a lot to the world's civilization. Why can't we face reality? "Si Wuya asked.
The Queen Mother of the West said loudly,
"To me, even if there's a glimmer of hope, I can't give up. I will not laugh at your efforts, nor will I belittle you for making the choices you have made. Everyone has their own meaning and purpose in life … "
The White Emperor smiled. "You're very clear-headed. But you still want to do it even though you know you will fail? "
"Before the end of our lifespans, we will lead like-minded beings to search for the hope of survival," Xi Wangmu said.
Si Wuya shook his head and said regretfully, "Why bother? The chances are too slim."
"You will only know after you try." The Queen Mother of the West raised her voice. "This might prove that you were the ones who took the wrong path from the start."
Her eyes were clear.
It was as if he knew everything.
Her logic and mind were exceptionally clear. Her words clearly showed that she knew what she was doing. She also knew what Si Wuya and the others were doing.
The Queen Mother of the West raised her hand slowly.
With a light wave of her hand, the war between humans and beasts would enter a new phase.
Si Wuya suddenly said, "Wait."
The Queen Mother of the West looked at the young man and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
"I'd like to ask a sincere question. Is the hope you speak of built on our failure?" Si Wuya asked.
This was akin to a battle between a friend and an enemy. Only when one side was destroyed would the other side be able to succeed. This was the foundation of war.
The Queen Mother of the West was taken aback.
She seemed to have fallen silent.
No one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, the Queen Mother said tonelessly, "Yes and no."
"…"
What a decisive answer.
The others did not know what to say. The Queen Mother of the West was firm in her stance. For someone who had lived for such a long time, it was impossible to convince him with the principles of life.
The Queen Mother of the West said, "Stop comprehending the Great Dao immediately!"
Si Wuya had always prided himself on having many reasons and arguments that could convince anyone he wanted to. However, he was helpless against the Queen Mother of the West who was stubborn.
He could only nod and say, "The wise men of the past have summed it up well. History likes to remember blood and tears. No nation's long-term peace is built on logic. I hope that war will be the last lesson of your life. "
These were the last words spoken between the two sides.
Similarly, the Queen Mother of the West did not expect herself to persuade Si Wuya as well.
They all understood this simple truth.
Hence …
Thousands upon thousands of beasts left the group and charged toward Little Yuan 'er who was bathed in golden light.
There were ferocious Beast Monarchs and graceful sacred beasts.
"I'll keep you company until the end."
Shang Zhang's eyes burned. He moved at lightning speed. The golden astrolabe expanded and cut through the sky. Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The beasts with weaker cultivation bases were immediately cut open by the astrolabe and fell from the sky.
The powerful beasts dodged the astrolabe and continued advancing.
The Queen Mother of the West soared into the sky. She intertwined her hands. Bright flowers bloomed in all directions.
The wounds of the beasts that were cut open healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"As expected of an ancient god, Queen Mother of the West. You have such shocking techniques," the Azure Emperor said with a laugh. "Shang Zhang, can you do it?"
Shang Zhang ignored the Azure Emperor's mockery. He summoned his Emperor-grade avatar.
The Nine Light Wheels of the Great Emperor were three thousand feet long.
The height of the nine light wheels alone was enough for him to look down on the world.
The avatar that was forced into the void unleashed unbelievable power and sent the beasts flying.
Many of the beasts were reduced to dust.
Behind the beasts, a huge Blue Bird with a red head and black eyes soared. It flapped its wings and let out a shrill cry that resounded in the surroundings.
The cry could be heard from hundreds of miles away, even in the void.
Si Wuya warned, "Tri-Blue Bird, be careful, Your Majesty."
The Tri-Blue Bird was a ferocious bird under the Queen Mother of the West's mount. It was said that it was immortal and possessed shocking strength. It had the ability to move mountains and fill seas.
The Tri-Blue Bird had a nimble body. When it arrived before Shang Zhang, it suddenly grew 10,000 times larger. It spat out green energy at Shang Zhang.
Shang Zhang resisted the energy with the astrolabe. He was restrained by the laws as he fought the Tri-Blue Bird.
The Azure Emperor Ling Wei was shocked. He said, "A mere Tri-Blue Bird is on par with the Great Emperor?"
"The Tri-Blue Bird was born at the beginning of the world. Most laws are useless against it. The laws of space can only restrain it temporarily, "the White Emperor said.
"Time is the only thing that matters," the Azure Emperor said.
The Queen Mother of the West weaved flower petals with her hands and fused them with the Tri-Blue Bird. With her power, the Tri-Blue Bird grew stronger and stronger as it fought.
Shang Zhang unleashed his five light wheels that shone in the sky. It was as if the sky was collapsing. He released a halo that covered the heavens. The Tri-Blue Bird was forced back by the five light wheels.
The beasts charged forward like a tidal wave. They did not fear death.
The corpses fell into the abyss like gravel!
The Queen Mother of the West joined her fingers together. A beam of light shot toward Shang Zhang!
The light was formless and colorless. It was difficult to tell if it was real or fake. It resembled water or a galaxy.
Bam!
Shang Zhang held the star compass with both hands and blocked the light!
"This is …"
"Ancient Primordial Power," the Azure Emperor exclaimed in shock.
When Si Wuya heard this, he said, "Ancient Primordial Power? Didn't it disappear? Why is there still more? "
The Primal Qi gathered in the ancient times was purer and more powerful. As time passed, the world changed, and civilization rose, Primal Qi had changed.
"Perhaps it's using some kind of sacred item to store it."
The Tri-Blue Bird lunged at Shang Zhang while the two sides were in a stalemate.
The White Emperor soared into the air and said, "You're bullying me with numbers. It's an unfair advantage!"
Great Emperor Shang Zhang said, "I don't need your help!"
"Now's not the time to show off. This is war!" the White Emperor said.
Emperor Shang Zhang's gaze swept across the vast and boundless sky. Almost all of the ferocious beasts had occupied it …
Through the avatar's eyes, he could see enemies coming from all directions.
He suddenly realized that peace was no longer possible!
Shang Zhang enunciated each word angrily. "The great Dao changes, but the same principles remain the same. Only blood can bring eternal peace. Kill! "
Nine light discs descended from the lotus throne.
Rumble!
Conch, Si Wuya, and the Harpies looked up and saw an unforgettable scene. The power of the light discs crushed all the beasts that entered the abyss!
"How ruthless!"
The Azure Emperor's spirit rose into the sky.
The Queen Mother of the West looked at the beasts' corpses falling into the abyss. She was neither happy nor sad.
The huge commotion had attracted the attention of many temples in the Great Void.
Many cultivators swiftly gathered in the Great Void.
The pressure from the apocalypse triggered their survival instincts. They rushed to the abyss.
Si Wuya had expected this. He transformed into a pair of fire wings and flew to Little Yuan 'er's side.
"Conch, come here."
Si Wuya called out to her.
Conch went to Si Wuya's side and stuck close to Little Yuan 'er.
The battle between the three emperors and the Queen Mother of the West could no longer be seen in the sky.
Corpses continued to fall from the sky. In the boundless unknown lands, countless beasts, regardless of their strength, were also rushing toward the abyss.
To them, the abyss must not fall.
Inside the palace shrouded in mist below the upper core.
A pair of huge silver-white wings rose slowly.
The Harpy's Grand Elder, who was bathed in light, said in a clear voice, "Pass my order. Seal the upper core."
"Understood!"
Si Wuya looked up. His eyes glowed red as he said, "The Harpies are going against the Holy Temple?"
The Harpy's Grand Elder said in a deep voice, "You're wrong.
You're wrong. "
His voice was sonorous. "The Holy Temple has always been on the Harpies' side!"
The Harpy's Grand Elder said no more. He flapped his wings.
The Harpies from all directions flew toward the upper core like meteors.
This meant that the Harpies had declared war.
