Talisman Emperor

Rumble!

The sky split apart while space collapsed, and violent spatial turbulence raged through the surroundings.

This was a disaster like the heavens and the earth were suffering a calamity, and the world was filled with destruction.

At this moment, the God Attainment Altar, the God Attainment Palace, the boundless chaotic space… Every single inch of the world was collapsing and shattering, and it revealed numerous terrifying black holes and rifts.

These black holes and rifts were spreading at an unbelievable speed. Everywhere they passed, stars collapsed, divine mountains shattered into powder, and everything fell into destruction.

In practically less than ten minutes, this sort of destruction had already spread to the Godslaughter Bloodlands!

This meant that the God Attainment Region that had existed through the boundless annals of time had been completely destroyed!

The destruction hadn’t come to an end.

In the subsequent period of time, with the Godslaughter Bloodlands at the center, the terrifying black holes and rifts spread out towards the surroundings, and they devoured the sky, shattered the ground, and throw time and space into chaos…

It was like a torrent of chaos had suddenly erupted and started to sweep through the entire Prehistoric Ruins!

…

“Shit! The Prehistoric Ruins are about to collapse!”

“Let’s leave quickly! Anything could happen if we’re slow!”

“Dammit! Why would it occur so suddenly?”

“Quickly! Quickly! Quickly! We can’t waste any more time. We must leave immediately!”

At this moment, all the Prehistoric Sects, ferocious beasts, and all living beasts in the Prehistoric Ruins were alarmed.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Ferocious beasts roared as they fled in panic, and they converged into a vast chaotic torrent that dashed madly towards the Dimensional Barrier in the distance. The ground was trembling and splitting apart while the sky was covered by various ferocious living beings, and they were flying madly like a dark cloud.

At this moment, the entire Prehistoric Ruins was filled with boundless terror, rage, frustration, and unwillingness.

Before this chaos of the heavens and the earth, even formidable existences like Immortal Kings sensed extreme danger, and they didn’t dare hesitate to flee for their lives.

Rumble! Rumble!

Thunderclaps rumbled as lightning tore through the sky, and the entire Prehistoric Ruins was enveloped in a terrifying atmosphere that seemed like it was doomsday.

A long time ago, the Prehistoric Ruins had already become the place where the upheaval of the three dimensions began, and because of this, the numerous Prehistoric Sects had taken action to set their sights on the Immortal Dimension. They intended to move their sects from the Prehistoric Ruins to the Immortal Dimension.

However, never had they imagined that this calamity would actually erupt so quickly, and it appeared before their eyes even before they were able to make sufficient preparations!

At this moment, no one dared to think twice or hesitate, and all of them fled with all their might.

After the time for an incense stick to burn, explosions that shook the heavens and the earth arose in the entire Prehistoric Ruins, and the energy of the Heaven Dao that maintained the existence of the entire Prehistoric Ruins had started to rumble and collapse!

This meant that the quintessence world energy of the Prehistoric Ruins was about to be completely obliterated!

“Flee!”

“The world energy is collapsing. We’ll definitely perish is we still don’t leave this place!”

…

After an unknown period of time, Chen Xi’s consciousness recovered. He’d been brought through space via teleportation by Shi Yu, and he was only able to hear the endless enormous explosions and rumbling all along the way. It shook him to the point his eardrums still faintly hurt at this moment.

He was above a surging and violent sea that raged with lightning and tempestuous waves that shot into the sky.

At his side, Shi Yu, Xiangliu Li, Heaven Trampler, Sun Wuhen, Dao Yao, and Pang Du had solemn expressions as they flew with all their strength.

None of them said anything, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

After a short moment, Chen Xi finally dared to confirm that he’d actually already left the Prehistoric Ruins, and he was moving above the Endless Sea right now.

“What exactly happened earlier?” After pondering about it for some time, Chen Xi was unable to refrain himself from asking in the end.

“The Prehistoric Ruins were completely destroyed…” Shi Yu sighed with a frown on his face.

What!?

Chen Xi was shocked when he heard this, and he still didn’t dare believe his ears. He turned around to look, yet he was only able to see an expanse of blurry lightning and thunder, and he wasn’t able to see anything else.

The Prehistoric Ruins were actually destroyed!

Doesn’t this mean that the upheaval of the three dimensions has already begun?

This sudden news was too astounding, and it caused Chen Xi to be unable to recover from his shock.

After that, Chen Xi suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked Heaven Trampler. “What about Miss Zhen and the others? Have they left the Divine Abyss of Darkness?”

He was very clearly aware that Heaven Trampler had once promised to take him to the Divine Abyss of Darkness after they left the God Attainment Region so that he could meet Zhen Liuqing and the others. Yet now, they’d encountered such a shocking unexpected change in the situation, and it caused him to instantly feel slightly anxious.

“Don’t worry. With my Master at their side, they’ve definitely left a long time ago.” Heaven Trampler patted Chen Xi on the shoulder to console him.

His Master, Daoist Dao Que, was a true expert that lived in seclusion. With his protection, Zhen Liuqing and the others had definitely left the Prehistoric Ruins a long time ago.

Chen Xi felt slightly at ease when he heard this. Even though he’d missed the opportunity to meet Zhen Liuqing and the others, so long as they didn’t suffer this calamity, then it naturally couldn’t be any better.

“Junior Sister Li, have you deduced anything?” Suddenly, Shi Yu’s question drew Chen Xi’s attention.

“I’ve roughly determined that the destruction of the Prehistoric Ruins this time is only an omen of the upheaval of the three dimensions, and it probably won’t affect the three dimensions for another thousand years.” Xiangliu Li seemed to be lost in thought, and her fair forehead was suffused with a glow of wisdom.

All of them heaved sighs of relief in their hearts upon hearing this.

Obviously, all of these Immortal Kings were similarly worried that the unexpected events in the Prehistoric Ruins this time would cause the upheaval of the three dimensions. Now that they heard Xiangliu Li’s deduction, all of them felt greatly relaxed.

A thousand years of time?

That’s sufficient to make preparations to resist this calamity!

Presently, Chen Xi wasn’t able to understand the profundities of the energy of deduction. But when he heard Xiangliu Li’s answer, he felt much more at ease, and he said in his heart, I must make a trip back to the Darchu Dynasty before the upheaval of the three dimensions to make arrangements for Chen Hao and the others!

…

Under the lead of Shi Yu and the other Immortal Kings that were teleporting through space, Chen Xi and the others arrived at the banks of the Endless Sea in less than two hours.

As he gazed at the familiar Sin City, Chen Xi felt as if years had passed.

The trip to the Prehistoric Ruins this time had allowed his vision and experience to be improved greatly. Not only had his cultivation broken through to the Saint Immortal Realm, he’d even obtained countless supreme fortuitous encounters.

For example, the eleven Dao Fruit’s Spirits he possessed were supreme precious treasures that could cause the eyes of any Immortal King to go red with greed.

Besides that, his experiences all along the way allowed Chen Xi to have a deep and comprehensive understanding of the Immortal King Realm, Godrank Realm, and even the entire three dimensions.

For example, the Immortal King Realm grasped Immortal King Laws, and it was a supreme existence in the three dimension that pursued the Grand Dao of the Gods.

For example, in the Godrank Realm, the Dao Fruit’s Spirit was required as foundation in order to step into the ranks of gods.

He possessed various other pieces of knowledge like these, and they were greatly beneficial to his cultivation in the future.

At the same time, Chen Xi was clearly aware that after this trip, the Sovereign Sect would probably hate him to the bone. No matter if it’s because of the Dao Calamity Sword he possessed or the fact that he repeatedly foiled their plans, it was sufficient to make the Sovereign Sect be determined to kill him.

However, Chen Xi wasn’t afraid.

Presently, he’d formed a deep friendly relationship with Shi Yu and the others, and he was a disciple of Oracle Mountain, so he didn’t have to be afraid of the Sovereign Sect at all.

The only thing that still puzzled Chen Xi was exactly what sort of existence the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation was and exactly who was the blurry figure that appeared within the pupils of the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation?

Chen Xi wondered about the Godrank Chart and exactly who controlled it.

He wondered why the River Diagram fragments would awaken repeatedly and reveal feelings of rejection, rage, and detest towards the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation and the Godrank Chart.

Perhaps I’ll be able to obtain the answer once I completely gather all the River Diagram fragments? Chen Xi muttered in his heart.

“Come, let’s enter the city and rest for a while.” Meanwhile, Shi Yu gazed at Sin City in the distance as he spoke with a smile on his face.

The others nodded in agreement.

Right when Shi Yu and the others were entering Sin City, all the senior figures of the three dimensions that possessed extraordinary cultivations seemed to have noticed something, and they looked towards a single direction in succession.

“The Prehistoric Ruins has been destroyed…”

“The upheaval of the three dimensions isn’t far away. Sigh!”

Emotional sighs like these resounded from time to time. All the top ancient sects of the Immortal Dimension received this news in a short period of time, and all of them were extremely shocked.

However, such a secret piece of information only caused a mighty uproar amongst the great figures and higher-ups of the Immortal Dimension.

As for the myriad of living beings that lived in the 4,900 continents of the Immortal Dimension, they were utterly unaware of the existence of the Prehistoric Ruins, so they naturally didn’t know that this ancient land that had existed for countless years had been completely destroyed now.

…

“Dean, the Prehistoric Ruins is gone.” Within a grand Secret Realm in Dao Emperor Academy, the short and thin Chi Cangsheng who possessed a vicious imposing aura spoke with a voice that carried a wisp of melancholy and disappointment.

A young man was sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion before Chi Cangsheng. The young man had an ordinary appearance, yet the space between his brows revealed an aura of age and experience, and he seemed as if he’d experienced the passage of countless years.

When one looked at him from afar, it seemed as if one wasn’t looking at a person but a vast, boundless, and deep starry sky.

The young man held an ancient green colored jade scripture in his hand, and he was looking through it. He didn’t even raise his head upon hearing this, and then he said, “This was something that was predetermined a long time ago.”

Chi Cangsheng smiled bitterly and hesitated before he said, “I… I just…”

“You’re feeling regretful that you weren’t able to go fight for the method to become a god?” The young man raised his head and glanced at Chi Cangsheng with amusement, and then he said casually, “In this world, it isn’t just the God Attainment Region that contains the secret to becoming a god. So why become obsessed by this?”

“Alas!” Chi Cangsheng who’d always possessed a vicious and unreasonable temper revealed a disgruntled and aggrieved appearance at this moment, and he let out a long sigh. “I’ve already waited for a few tens of thousands of years. Now, the upheaval of the three dimensions is about to erupt, and if I’m still unable to step into the Godrank Realm, then… then…”

“Alright.” The young man put the ancient scripture away and seemed to be lost in thought as he said, “Go make preparations for the Ancient Dao Emperor Grounds first. Once everything is prepared, I’ll naturally guide you towards a path to become a god.”

Chi Cangsheng was stunned, and then his spirits were refreshed. He hurriedly smiled as he cupped his hands. “Then thank you, Dean!”

After that, he scratched his head and said with a shocked expression. “The Ancient Dao Emperor Grounds? Aren’t we waiting for that kid, Chen Xi, to return?”

“He’s about to return soon.” The young man thought for a moment before he waved his hand and said, “Go on. When the Ancient Dao Emperor Grounds is opened, Ling Qingwu and Ye Tang can be allowed to enter with the others.”
