Chapter 1650: Secrets of the Primordial Era

"The Unity War?!"

When the four words "Jiang Li Tianwang" spread out, all the powerhouses who knew the weight and meaning they carried were trembling all over, with thick horror and, fear welling up within them.

Li Luo also couldn't help falling into a momentary daze before those four words. The Unity War — looking through ancient and modern times — was the truly most terrifying calamity-level event in the world.

Any natural disaster paled into insignificance before it.

Because he understood that once the Unity War began, the ten Outer Shenzhou would face their most difficult moment. If they couldn't withstand this calamity, then the entire ten Outer Shenzhou would be occupied by the Other beings from the Dark World, and all living creatures in this world would become sources of negative emotions for the Other beings.

Perhaps the Other beings would pen up living creatures like livestock, keeping them in endless fear, pain, and all sorts of negative emotions at all times.

Just thinking about that scene was enough to make one feel despair.

Once, for many people, the Unity War was perhaps extremely distant. After all, although the ten Outer Shenzhou did experience occasional Other calamities erupting from time to time, they were ultimately within controllable bounds.

And the many Li Tianwang of the ten Outer Shenzhou all sat stationed at the Wang Hou battlefield, holding strategic passes and natural barriers, not returning to their clans for a hundred years, preventing the great demon kings of the Dark World from invading.

However, all this balance was broken at this moment.

With the opening of the Boundary Road, the Ghost Realms and demon kings of the Dark World no longer needed to descend laboriously through those spatial rifts. From then on, they could enter the ten Outer Shenzhou openly and brazenly.

That was a true great calamity.

At this moment, the Unity War — which everyone had once felt was very distant — arrived quietly, carrying overwhelming killing intent.

The entire world would from now on undergo drastic changes.

Li Luo's expression became incomparably solemn at this moment, because he understood that the world's transformation had already begun. The future ten Outer Shenzhou would be filled with the fires of war.

The peace of the past would fade away.

"Yin Li Tianwang, is the ultimate goal of your Unity Society to destroy the ten Outer Shenzhou?" Jiang Li Tianwang's low voice flowed with fury that shook the heavens and earth. He knew the Unity War between the ten Outer Shenzhou and the Dark World would eventually begin, but the current timing was too early.

The ten Outer Shenzhou were not yet fully prepared.

The Dark World had seventy-two great Ghost Realms, which represented seventy-two Li Tianwang. Such terrifying foundations and strength truly pressed the ten Outer Shenzhou down by a notch.

This could be seen from the fact that in recent years, the Li Tianwang of the ten Outer Shenzhou could only choose to hold their ground by relying on terrain.

They had no offensive power, only defense to buy more time.

They hoped that during this time, the ten Outer Shenzhou could give birth to more Li Tianwang, or... Divine Fruit Li Tianwang.

Every additional Li Tianwang meant the ten Outer Shenzhou had a stronger chance of withstanding the Unity War.

"Jiang Li Tianwang, you don't understand. The path of holding your ground will only lead to destruction. Even the Faceless Holy Sect couldn't accomplish it — do you think your Academy Alliance is qualified to do so?"

"You have no ability to change the ending, but our Unity Society's path can do it, no matter what price must be paid."

"There is only one person in this world qualified to end this chaos, that person..."

Yin Li Tianwang's eye sockets, burning with pale-white flames, looked toward the black coffin. Within those flames, an indescribable fanaticism and devotion seemed to surface.

"... is our Sect Master!"

Jiang Li Tianwang stared at that black coffin and said in a deep voice: "So, inside this coffin, is it indeed that legendary Sect Master of the Faceless Holy Sect?"

However, before Yin Li Tianwang could answer, Dan Sheng's icy voice rang out: "No, inside the black coffin is not the Sect Master!"

Jiang Li Tianwang, Li Li Jingzhe, and Zhang Li Tianwang all looked toward Dan Sheng. If the legendary Sect Master wasn't inside the black coffin, then who was it?

"Yin Qingkun, you have already been eroded, polluted. That sect war general who once slew many great demon kings is dead. The current you is nothing but a puppet."

"A puppet deceived by the 'Extinction Aspect.'"

"Do you think that with the Sect Master's pure and aloof character, he would allow himself to linger on, surviving within that dark coffin?"

"Inside the coffin is the Sect Master's polluted 'Extinction Aspect.' Yin Qingkun, wake up. This Extinction Aspect betrayed the Sect Master and caused the Faceless Holy Sect to vanish from the world."

"It is not the Sect Master."

Dan Sheng's cold voice spread through the heavens and earth, yet the secrets it revealed caused even Jiang Li Tianwang, a Divine Fruit Li Tianwang, to feel towering waves within his heart.

Li Li Jingzhe and Zhang Li Tianwang both had solemn expressions. Information about the Faceless Holy Sect had all been obscured by the mists of time, and even Li Tianwang-level powerhouses couldn't pry into it. Now, the information revealed by Dan Sheng—a person who had survived from the primordial era—might be the only channel through which later generations could learn of the calamity that had befallen the Faceless Holy Sect back then.

The secrets of the primordial era were finally peeled back a corner at this moment.

Li Luo was equally in shock. He had personally experienced the might of that "Extinction Aspect" earlier—even just the aura of extinction it emitted had pushed him to the brink, and if Jiang Jiang Qinge hadn't stepped in to help at the end, his fifth-phase palace would have already been eroded to death.

And most importantly... before the "Extinction Aspect" Dan Sheng mentioned, there was an extremely important piece of information.

Polluted!

Then, what terrifying thing could pollute such a powerful "Extinction Aspect"?

The bronze mask that Yin Li Tianwang had transformed into floated quietly in the void. The pale-white flames flickering in its eye sockets also seemed to freeze at this moment.

The world fell silent.

After a moment, Jiang Li Tianwang was the first to cup his fists toward Dan Sheng and ask respectfully: "May I dare ask what thing could pollute the Extinction Aspect of the Faceless Holy Sect's Sect Master?"

Dan Sheng's eyes darkened as he said: "What else could it be... naturally, it is the Source of All Evil, born from the deepest part of the Dark World."

"That is the origin of all chaos."

"In that great battle back then, the Sect Master led our Faceless Holy Sect into the Dark World, crushing countless Ghost Realms and slaying many great demon kings—including Divine Fruit great demon kings. In the end, the Sect Master reached the end of the Dark World and saw that Source of All Evil."

In the world, only Dan Sheng's voice echoed. The information he revealed caused even Jiang Li Tianwang, a Divine Fruit Li Tianwang, to involuntarily feel his heart beat faster, his expression turning horrified and tense.

The Source of All Evil!

The source of the Other beings!

Each piece of information was enough to cause a sensation and earthquake among the Li Tianwang circles of the ten Outer Shenzhou, and this was probably the greatest secret in the world.

"The Source of All Evil... as expected, the Sect Master of the Faceless Holy Sect saw it," Jiang Li Tianwang muttered to himself.

In that era, the two most terrifying existences in the world met at the end of the Dark World.

"What happened between them?" Jiang Li Tianwang couldn't help but press. This was the most important thing.

Did the legendary Sect Master of the Faceless Holy Sect actually fight the Source of All Evil? And what was the final outcome?

Dan Sheng shook his head and said slowly: "At the end of the Dark World, that place is shrouded by terrifying evil thoughts—the thickest concentration of negative emotions in the world. Even a Divine Fruit Li Tianwang cannot step foot there."

"No one could follow the Sect Master in there."

"So no one knows what ultimately happened inside."

"I only know that the Sect Master walked out of there afterward, and this war of conquest came to an end."

Li Luo's face turned solemn. Although that great battle ended in such a way, the downfall of the Formless Saint Sect, that colossal entity that had dominated an era, had begun from this very point.
