Big Dipper Star Region was in an expanse of darkness, deathly quiet. There wasn't the slightest bit of sound.
Apart from that ancient land of life that was broken into pieces and protected by Wasteland Lord, the other stars were all blasted into pieces, turning into ashes, never to exist again.
An immortal cocoon floated up and down, suspending above the destroyed ancient land. The immortal light gradually dimmed, and then it entered the darkness, thus disappearing.
Only now did all of the emperor's might disappear. Only then did the ancient land of life below release cries of grief. It was unknown just how many people had died, blood flowing like rivers on the great earth, corpses endless.
Most of the strong people had died, only the elderly and children remaining. This was also the case for the other races, only the old and weak, as well as a small portion of the strong, continuing on as the seeds of life.
However, without the sun, how could they continue?
These supreme beings, because of their failure to achieve immortality, clearly vented their anger on Big Dipper, wishing to destroy this place in one go.
Light was released from the ancient restricted regions, as well as some historical remains left behind by ancient great emperors. It surrounded the great earth, not letting the cold approach, protecting this ruined ancient land.
Western Desert was deathly silent, but Mount Meru was still there. One could vaguely hear the sound of ghosts chanting buddhist scriptures.
Southern Ridge collapsed, corpses of ancient beasts and vicious birds everywhere. Many small beasts cried piteously, waiting to be fed, the scene miserable.
Eastern Wasteland's seven great restricted regions were extremely peaceful, but they still made one feel reverence, deep and immeasurable. Perhaps some supreme beings would return to continue sleeping here.
Northern Plains was desolate, traces of life rarely seen. Central Continent was the most desolate, the number of people who died also the most. It wasn't like other places where the population was sparse. This place was densely packed, corpses truly piling up into mountains and seas.
Comparatively speaking, Big Dipper wasn't that bad either. After all, they had already experienced it. The darkness chaos could be considered to have ended, not like the other star domains whose suffering had only just begun.
"Heavens, please open your eyes and look at this great earth. Is there still a path of life? The people are in a terrible situation, corpses and blood everywhere, what hope is there left to speak of?"
On a planet, a white-haired elder roared angrily towards the heavens, his face covered in tears. At his feet were several children who were trembling in fear. There were many corpses in the distance, their parents, their loved ones, all of them dead.
The lord of the Divine Ruins descended here, opening his mouth and inhaling. Endless people, endless creatures exploded, blood covering the stars. Countless life essence turned into strands of multicolored light, flying into the air.
Most of the powerful individuals were going to die, only a portion of them left behind, allowing the ancient land's life inheritance to continue. They were going to be used in the future when the darkness chaos erupted again.
As for the elderly and children, most of them were spared because the amount of life force they contained was relatively small, so they were not within the range of being devoured.
The Lord of the Divine Ruins only stayed here for a moment before a billion creatures were devoured. This small star was covered in gloomy clouds. The bloody mist was very thick, and it was filled with wailing sounds. This was a purgatory on earth.
And this was still considered good. The crisis that broke out in other places was even worse. Some of the famous main planets in the universe encountered a major crisis. Because of the large population, there were even more deaths!
For example, Gouchen Ancient Star, this place had previously produced a great emperor. It was extremely glorious in the past, becoming the center of the cosmos during a certain era. However, now that a great disaster descended, it still couldn't be stopped.
The Stone Emperor had arrived!
This was an extremely callous ancient supreme being, his heart long submerged in coldness and ruthlessness. Even if millions and millions of creatures died, he wouldn't even frown.
In the past, he had already devoured tens of billions of creatures. Now, if he wanted to extend his life, he could only do more, or else it wouldn't be of any use.
It was just like taking an undying medicine. After a single use, the medicinal effects would definitely decrease. Only by taking ten times, a hundred times more would one be able to continue extending one's life.
And if he calculated it like this, then the number of creatures he needed in this world would be too shocking. At the very least, it would be in the hundreds of billions, or even trillions.
The universe was extremely large, with endless star systems. However, there weren't as many ancient life stars as one could imagine, especially the main planets like Gouchen and Ziwei Star Domain, which were even fewer.
Even if those small stars, as well as the small worlds of life opened by many ancient sages were included, the number of creatures he needed still wasn't a small number.
Moreover, the darkness chaos in this world wasn't limited to him alone. There was also the Lord of Samsara, Long Life Celestial Being, and several others, so the number of creatures they needed wouldn't be much weaker than his.
As a result, in this world, if they continued like this, they would definitely cause rivers of blood to overflow into the heavens. The entire universe would mourn and tremble.
The darkness chaos would only become more terrifying each time. This world would reach its most powerful state. Some of the despairing Heavenly Secrets Masters even pessimistically predicted that the world might be destroyed!
"The flowers are the same every year, but the people are different every year. It's another world. I've been here before, and it was also a scene of rivers of blood overflowing into the heavens. It's just that the feeling each time is different." The Undying Mountain's lord, the Stone Emperor, was calm and carefree.
Below, countless figures were running, crying, kneeling, and praying to the heavens. They dragged their children, rolling and crawling as they fled. This was a human tragedy.
But what was the use? In the eyes of an ancient supreme being, these were all ants. They couldn't cause even the slightest ripple in his heart. With a point of his finger, billions of people exploded. The multicolored light of life entered his mouth and nose, filling the air like strands of white mist.
Stone Emperor had a heart of stone. Even the most miserable scene couldn't move his heart. After achieving the dao, his will was like steel, but after severing his blade, his blood became cold to the bone.
He turned around, arriving in another region of this main star. He wasn't in a hurry to wipe out all life, but instead carried a hint of coldness at the corners of his lips. He was admiring this' hundred forms of the human world '.
"Ah …"
There were saints who screamed miserably, doing their best to fly high into the sky. However, under the pressure of an ancient supreme being, it was difficult for them to move even an inch. They directly collapsed in this world. Even those as powerful as saints were nothing more than ants.
There wasn't much power that could stop an ancient supreme being from foraging for food. From saints up high to mortals, they were all targets of slaughter. Meanwhile, experts were even more so the first choice, because the life essence they contained was greater.
"Even though it is a great star, it still isn't enough for this emperor. There are still too few. Meanwhile, what about the saints? I don't see many of them. Have they all gone into hiding?" Stone Emperor's cold voice was incomparably cold, shaking this entire starry sky.
His will reached all directions. In a breath of time, his divine sense swept over all of the stars, not holding back in the slightest. Then, he rose into the sky, entering the starry domain. Many saints on the stars in the depths of the darkness screamed miserably, turning into a rain of blood.
Stone Emperor only went to make a circle, and most of the saints that belonged to Gouchen Star died. It was useless even if they hid in the starry river. A supreme being could find them with a single thought.
"Leave behind a few fragrant seeds for the future."
Stone Emperor stood up. With a single step, he disappeared from this great star, entering the depths of the cosmos. Blood covered the skies here, and the number of dead creatures numbered in the billions.
However, it still couldn't satisfy his needs!
That day, the entire cosmos was wailing in grief. All life howled in grief. The end of darkness arrived, and no one could save them.
The great emperor grew old and passed away. In this world, no one achieved the dao, and no one could resist the darkness' chaos. Bloodshed continued just like that …
The great era of darkness officially began. This was an era of chaos and misery.
What love and hate? What grand goals on the path of immortality? What dreams of achieving the dao … In this world, everything was empty. Only survival was the truth.
"Void Great Emperor, where are you? All people pray for you to live forever! Please fight for our human race again, ah wu …"
All life was in grief. In this dark era, they thought of the Void Great Emperor who had previously fought left and right, fought in all directions. He fought his entire life, all the way until the very last moment of his life.
He never stopped. Back then, he pacified all regions alone, stopping the darkness chaotic tides. It was unknown just how many creatures he saved. Unfortunately, he died early, only living for less than a single era.
"Void Great Emperor, your people miss you, wuwu … please come back to life. How can the great earth not have you?!"
Even a few saints were praying, and even a few old Great Sage who understood the secret history were weeping, kowtowing towards the dim Big Dipper.
"Void Great Emperor, how can we forget you? You went alone to block the exit of the Sea of Reincarnation, and then fought a great battle against Undying Mountain with the resolution to die. In this era, who will fight for us? Who will stop the darkness chaos for us?"
On the other main star — Skyreach, tragedy was also playing out.
Light and Darkness Supreme Being was taking action, slaughtering everything within a million li. He opened his mouth, inhaling, and endless multicolored light of life entered his body.
Suddenly, he felt an intense pain in his heart, and then his body staggered. It was because he saw some scenes, and recalled some 'past events'.
He saw a little boy drag out the corpse of an old man from the pile of corpses, crying loudly, throwing himself into the old man's embrace. His white hair was dyed red, and his entire body was soaked in blood.
He saw an infant curled up in the arms of a mother, crying loudly, using his little hands to touch that ice-cold and young face.
He saw a young man go crazy after a young female cultivator exploded, throwing himself into the bloody bones, smashing his head against the ground, and then he lost his life.
…
He was once weak, and he had struggled before. He also went through a stage of growth that he couldn't bear to look back on. At this moment, he was momentarily absent-minded.
"Hehe …" Light and Darkness Supreme Being rubbed his chest, and only after a long time did he catch his breath. He said in self-mockery, "My heart actually felt a momentary pain. Did I think of some past events?"
But soon, his expression was replaced by coldness. Killing intent filled his body, and cold light blossomed from his eyes. As he swept his gaze over, boundless killing tribulation rose again, and blood splattered across the entire ancient star.
"Great Emperor Wu Shi, you used to suppress the nine heavens and ten earths, and fought until the universe trembled. Now, the star domain has withered, and everything is silent. The human race needs you …" Cries resounded through the world.
Heaven Abandoning Supreme Being had slaughtered his way through, and his harvest could only be described as ordinary. That was because what he needed wasn't much less than what the Stone Emperor needed. Now, what he needed was tens to hundreds of times more than what he needed in the past. If one really calculated it, the amount was too shocking!
Today, he slaughtered his way to an enormous star that he had never been to before, and he didn't know anything about it in his sea of consciousness.
However, when he descended, his heart jumped violently. Two terrifying beams of light shot out from his eyes, and he stared in a certain direction.
"The ancestral star of the Overlord Body. No wonder … the people here are all so powerful. There seems to be another place that's not ordinary!"
In another part of the starry sky, the Samsara Master was also moving. He had already massacred three stars, and behind him were endless skeletons and waves of blood, shaking the universe!
He traveled all the way to the other side of the starry sky. He knew this place, and he also understood that this place was not ordinary, but he still came because there might be a great harvest here.
This was a blue star, and the celestial beings now called it Earth!
"Hangu Pass … still exists. After several reincarnations, it still has this name. Heh!"
