The sky above Greatsword Mountain was covered in a blood-red color that lasted for an entire day and night. It was only until the evening of the second day that it slowly dissipated.
At this moment, a few figures flew over from afar. Leading them was the Sovereign of the Eventide.
The Sovereign of the Eventide looked at the towering mountain from afar. The mountain was silent, with no sound coming from it.
There was no need to look. With a sweep of his perception, he knew that the entire mountain had become a land of death. All the disciples left behind to guard Greatsword Mountain were dead!
The square on the mountain peak was completely cracked. There were bloodstains everywhere, but the corpses of Shen Tu Patriarch and company could not be found.
The corpses of the younger generation could be seen everywhere, but the corpses of the legendary figures had disappeared.
Beside the bloodstains, there were also the remains of weapons and enchanted treasures.
The Sovereign of the Eventide saw a broken spear, and beside the spear, there were pieces of jade scattered all over the ground. They were the shattered voice transmission jade slips.
The Sovereign of the Eventide squatted down and picked up the broken spear. As a powerful figure in the Tian Yuan world, the spear that Shen Tu Patriarch used might not be the best in the Tian Yuan world, but it was not far from it.
Especially after the destruction of Blood Moon, he obtained the Blood Moon Treasury. Shen Tu Patriarch had obtained a material known as Mystic Cloud Crystal from the treasury. Shen Tu Patriarch had spent two years to slowly fuse the Mystic Cloud Crystal into his spear, raising the quality of his spear to another level.
And it was such a spear that had been forcefully broken.
The crack on the spear did not have any signs of being slashed by a sharp blade. How much strength was needed to break it with one's bare hands?
Actually, when Shen Tu Patriarch was killed, he had already shattered the voice transmission jade slips. He did not have the time to send a message, but the Sovereign of the Eventide had heard the sounds of their battle.
The entire battle had erupted very suddenly, but it lasted for a very short period of time. In such a short period of time, Shen Tu Patriarch and the other legendary figures that had stayed behind to guard Greatsword Mountain, a total of six people, had been completely wiped out. Not a single one had escaped!
It was fine if the six of them were no match for the other party, but to not even escape separately … The opponent's strength had reached an appalling level.
"What killed Shen Tu?"
An elder frowned. He could not think of anyone in the entire Tian Yuan world who had such strength.
Sovereign of the Eventide took a deep breath as his expression turned extremely ugly.
It was impossible for the murderer to be Yi Yun. Excluding Yi Yun, the Sovereign of the Eventide could only think of one person, and that was Blood Moon!
Upon thinking of Blood Moon, the Sovereign of the Eventide's heart skipped a beat. What happened to the ten corpses?
He hurriedly took out the voice transmission jade slip and transmitted his voice to the Immortal Abode Island's Island Lord.
The Sovereign of the Eventide was worried that the ten corpses would undergo a zombie transformation. If that happened, the Sanctuary Island Lord couple would also be in danger.
In the past, the Sovereign of the Eventide had always wished for the Sanctuary Island couple to die so that no one could threaten him. But now, all the warriors of the Tian Yuan world were in the same boat, so if the boat were to sink, they would all be doomed.
Just as the Sovereign of the Eventide was about to crush the voice transmission jade slip, he suddenly turned his head and saw a black and white figure rapidly flying over from the gloomy sky.
The duo's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of the Sovereign of the Eventide from the horizon.
They were the Sanctuary Island couple.
With such a big thing happening on Greatsword Mountain, the couple naturally received the news.
"How are the corpses?"
The Sovereign of the Eventide immediately asked.
"Take a look for yourself!"
The Sanctuary Island man casually waved his hand as ten Soul-sealing Coffins flew out of his interspatial ring and lined up in the sky.
"Ka Ka Ka!"
The coffins opened simultaneously.
Upon seeing the situation inside the coffins, the Sovereign of the Eventide drew a cold gasp.
It was not that the ten corpses had disappeared, but that they had undergone a huge change. It was not signs of a zombie transformation, but … they had all decayed!
The ten corpses had all decayed and emitted a foul stench. The corpse of the original Alliance Leader was still alright, as the speed at which it decayed was not fast. As for the others, they had already decomposed into white bones.
Even a mortal's corpse would not decompose so quickly if it was buried in the soil in a humid environment, much less a warrior's corpse that could easily remain undecomposed for tens of thousands of years.
Now, the ten corpses had turned into such a state in a single night!
The Sovereign of the Eventide's heart sank. For the corpses to decompose and the Demon God to appear, it was naturally not a coincidence for both to happen at the same time.
The Sanctuary Island man let out a long sigh and said, "Little brother Yi Yun is right. We have underestimated Blood Moon. Although I do not know what means they have used, I have a premonition that the Tian Yuan world is about to usher in a calamity, just like the Apocalypse from tens of millions of years ago."
Apocalypse?
No one present had experienced the Apocalypse that happened tens of millions of years ago. There were even no records of it in the books. Towards that calamity, people felt that it was an illusion and distant. No one knew what it was like to actually experience it.
The legendary figures present felt like a huge rock was pressing down on their hearts as their breathing turned heavy.
It was not surprising that an existence that could easily annihilate them could destroy the Tian Yuan world.
"There's no meaning in saying all this now. So what if Yi Yun has guessed that Blood Moon has other means? Can he destroy that terrifying existence?" Upon mentioning Yi Yun, the Sovereign of the Eventide frowned. Yi Yun was a knot in his heart.
"Of course Yi Yun can't destroy it. However, if he is given a few hundred years or even a thousand years, allowing him to approach the ancient Great Empress's realm, he might be able to do it …"
"A few hundred years? A thousand years? " The Sovereign of the Eventide scoffed. "By then, we would probably all be killed. What's the point of him destroying that terrifying existence?"
"Of course it's useful." The Sanctuary Island man looked up into the sky. His eyes reflected the entire starry sky … "A thousand years later, you and I might have already been killed by that monster. However, the Tian Yuan world is vast and boundless. There will always be people who survive, unless that existence has the ability to completely destroy this Great World …"
"As long as there are people who survive, the Human race will continue to exist. Years later, we will prosper again. After experiencing destruction and rebirth, it is like a cycle."
When the Sanctuary Island man said this, he lowered his head slightly to look at the Sovereign of the Eventide. He said indifferently, "The Tian Yuan world is not only us."
The Sovereign of the Eventide was stunned for a moment. He never expected the Sanctuary Island man to give such an explanation.
A warrior's life was to dominate the Heaven and Earth, controlling the cycle of reincarnation. When alive, they would shine as brightly as the Sun and Moon, living forever in the Heaven and Earth. After death, they would not care about the flood.
...
As the legendary figures of the Tian Yuan world were in chaos due to the sudden appearance of the Demon God, Yi Yun, who was in reclusive training in the Great Empress mystic realm, suddenly opened his eyes.
