Chapter 652: Three Thousand Taigu Immortal Kings Awaken, the Doomsday Calamity
"A calamity, an unprecedented calamity."
At this very moment, Zhou Sui's expression changed.
Through the power of the Luck Gu, he sensed an infinite amount of Tribulation Qi spreading toward him, something truly unprecedented.
It even shrouded the entire White Day Land.
Within it lay strands of killing intent, enough to make one shudder.
If this calamity were not handled properly, it would mean the destruction of all races.
"What is going on? Why would such a great calamity appear?"
"To be able to make all races face a doomsday tribulation, there is no one else but the Dark Race."
"Could it be that those ancient Immortal Kings of the Dark Race have awakened?"
A Cold Glow appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes, and he could not help but let this speculation well up.
For the Dao Lord of Eternal Night to awaken, that was an impossible thing.
Under the suppression of this Universe's Heavenly Dao, for the Dao Lord of Eternal Night to want to awaken so quickly was simply a pipe dream.
Of course, besides that, the Dark Race still had many, many ancient Immortal Kings.
And the number of these Immortal Kings was beyond imagination.
Once they fully awakened, the threat posed to all races could be imagined.
"Why would they suddenly awaken?"
"Could it be that the expansion of the various races has caused the Dark Race unease?"
Zhou Sui stroked his chin.
Originally, he thought that if the Dark Race wanted to revive those Immortal Kings, it would certainly require a long period of time.
But he estimated that because of the rapid expansion of the White Day Land, the Dark Race's Immortal Kings felt a huge threat.
This also forced them to have to awaken many Immortal Kings in advance.
Although awakening these Immortal Kings in advance would cause these Dark Race Immortal Kings to lose a portion of their power.
But he estimated they also did not want to see the various races of the Immortal World continue to develop like this.
"However, this may not necessarily be a bad thing."
"These ancient Immortal Kings awakening early will certainly lose a portion of their power."
"The various races of the Immortal World, resting while the enemy tires, can completely keep these Dark Race Immortal Kings at bay."
"If we fight and win, we can even completely suppress these Dark Race Immortal Kings."
"We can even devour their Origin to become the resources for my promotion to Dao Lord."
Zhou Sui clenched his fists.
Regarding the arrival of such a crisis, he instead felt very excited.
Because after a billion years of development, every part of the Immortal World had long been forged by him into an impenetrable fortress.
If these Dark Race Immortal Kings came to kill, it would certainly be a handful for them.
If luck were good, he could even wipe out these Dark Race Immortal Kings in one fell swoop.
By then, the speed of expansion for the various races of the Immortal World would be even faster.
In this way, he could even reclaim more land swallowed by the Eternal Night and restore the bright lands of the past.
…………
At the same time, in the deepest part of the Eternal Night Land, this was the headquarters of the Dark Race.
The ancient Immortal Kings who had originally been sleeping in the deepest part of the Immortal Palace were waking up one by one.
They crawled up from the depths of the earth, stirring up boundless Darkness and forming a terrifying dark vortex.
This also caused the entire Eternal Night Land to tremble.
Countless dark creatures became excited; they sensed the power within their bodies constantly rising.
It seemed as if one ancient existence after another was being resurrected in this world.
The power of Darkness increased by dozens or hundreds of times compared to before, devouring all power of light.
"What is going on? Why suddenly awaken us in advance?"
"Do you not know that if you awaken us in advance, it will cause our power to be damaged?"
Many ancient Taigu Immortal Kings of the Dark Race were very dissatisfied; they were filled with rage, and if these fellows did not give them a satisfactory explanation, they would certainly make these fellows pay a heavy price.
This was the consequence of angering a Taigu Immortal King; it would certainly be a fate worse than death.
"Respected Lords, we had no other choice."
"The development of civilization in this current era is truly too rapid."
"If things continue like this, it might threaten our Dark Race."
"Therefore, we could only expend a huge price to awaken you from your slumber."
"We absolutely cannot let the civilization of this era continue to develop."
"We must interrupt their development, even if it means paying a heavy price."
The Ancient Kings of the Dark Race said helplessly.
If they could, they naturally would not want to awaken these Taigu Immortal Kings so quickly.
After all, being suppressed by the power of this Universe's Heavenly Dao, wanting to clear away the power of the Heavenly Dao was a very difficult thing, requiring the consumption of massive resources.
But because the various races of the Immortal World were developing too rapidly, they had beaten the Dark Race into a continuous retreat.
Even the area of the Eternal Night Land had been reduced by quite a bit.
This also made them feel a fatal crisis.
So, in order to deal with the civilization of this era, they had no choice but to take action and awaken the Taigu Immortal Kings one by one.
"What? Is the civilization of this era truly that terrifying?"
"To think it has forced you to such a point?"
Many Dark Race Taigu Immortal Kings raised their eyebrows, becoming curious about the civilization of the current era.
Although they had spent many eras in this Universe and had seen quite a few civilizations, each civilization had its merits and had caused them no small amount of trouble.
But to be forced to awaken them early like this is absolutely unprecedented.
Without a doubt, the civilization of this era must have its unique aspects.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to force these Dark Race Immortal Kings to such a point.
"It is indeed very terrifying."
"Originally, the possession methods our Dark Race prides itself on, which can take over the physical bodies of other living beings and then disguise us as the local inhabitants, were impossible for the local inhabitants to detect."
"Relying on such possession methods, we have been invincible in dealing with the civilizations of every era."
"We could often dismantle these civilizations from the inside, leaving them helpless."
"Sometimes, there was no need for many Taigu Immortal Kings to take action; even Ordinary Immortal Kings were enough to plunge them into destruction."
"But now, this method no longer works."
"Currently, throughout the White Day Land, the living beings of all races seem to have formed a powerful Soul Defense Wall."
"This power protects the soul of every living being."
"At the same time, it has caused our Dark Race's possession methods to fail completely."
"From now on, our Dark Race can no longer invade the White Day Land."
"Now, our Dark Race is completely in the dark regarding the civilization of the White Day Land."
"We have no idea at all to what extent it has developed inside."
An Ancient King of the Dark Race said with great helplessness.
To tell the truth, the unknown is the most terrifying thing.
Previously, it was always the civilizations of various eras that felt unknown and fearful toward the Dark Race.
They had no idea what the Dark Race's background and trump cards were.
This allowed them to be invincible and smooth-sailing in everything they did.
But now, it is the civilization of this Universe era that has become very mysterious.
They cannot know the background and the power mastered by this civilization.
Therefore, many Dark Race Immortal Kings began to feel panic, feeling that this civilization seemed to have become unfathomable.
"No way, there's such a thing?"
"It can actually resist our Dark Race's possession talent?"
"How on earth was this done?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many Dark Race Taigu Immortal Kings changed.
Their original anger vanished, replaced by calmness and contemplation.
After all, if the Dark Race's strongest and most bizarre ability were to fail, it would indeed be a major blow to the Dark Race, and this would also make many of the Dark Race's plans impossible to implement.
Many times, the Dark Race relied on winning by a small margin and using traitors to make those civilizations collapse automatically.
If this method cannot be used, then the power the Dark Race needs to expend would be unimaginably large.
"As far as I know, it seems that a certain Human Race Immortal King has mastered an Innate Dharma Treasure of the soul defense type."
"The power of this Innate Dharma Treasure is unimaginably great."
"It can envelop the soul of every living being."
"That is why it can block our Dark Race's possession power."
An Ancient King of the Dark Race said in a deep voice, revealing the information they had gathered.
"It's actually an Innate Dharma Treasure of the soul defense type? If that's the case, then it is understandable."
"That's right, Innate Dharma Treasures are treasures nurtured by the Universe, unique and infinitely powerful; it is not impossible to resist our Dark Race's possession with the power of an Innate Dharma Treasure."
"No wonder you are so nervous; I didn't expect the civilization of this era to have obtained such a troublesome Innate Dharma Treasure."
"Once we want to destroy this Innate Dharma Treasure, this Innate Dharma Treasure restrains our Dark Race too much; with this Innate Dharma Treasure, many of our Dark Race's methods are difficult to use."
Many Taigu Immortal Kings discussed it one after another.
They were not very surprised by this point.
Because the Heavenly Dao of this Universe is very powerful, even the Dao Lord of Eternal Night can be suppressed, and that is by instinct.
Even every time the Universe undergoes Samsara and rebirth, it will nurture different Innate Dharma Treasures.
The power of these Innate Dharma Treasures is also particularly restraining to the Dark Race.
Therefore, it is very normal for the civilization of this era to master this type of Innate Dharma Treasure.
In previous eras, those Innate Dharma Treasures had caused them no small amount of trouble.
Consequently, the Dark Race suffered heavy losses.
"My lords, if it were only this, that would be fine."
"But the threat of this era's civilization to our Dark Race is not just this."
"The civilization of this era has mastered a strange flame, named Hope Fire."
"The power of Hope Fire can actually extinguish the power of Eternal Night and can contend against Darkness."
"In places where Hope Fire burns, any power of Eternal Night cannot invade."
"With the help of the power of this strange flame, the civilization of this era has already reclaimed quite a bit of territory."
An Ancient King of the Dark Race said in a deep voice, revealing the most serious situation.
What?!
As these words were spoken, the expressions of the Taigu Immortal Kings, who had previously been incomparably relaxed, turned extremely ugly; they realized in an instant the terrifying nature of this era's civilization.
Although many previous civilizations had also posed no small threat to the Dark Race, they had never mastered the power to contend with Eternal Night.
Once Darkness spread, all civilizations would be instantly devoured, with no way to resist.
Relying on the power of Eternal Night, they were simply invincible, encroaching upon vast territories of the Immortal World.
But now, this current civilization was actually able to extinguish the power of Eternal Night and reclaim territory.
Such a thing was simply unprecedented and inconceivable.
If this power continued to grow, it would certainly be able to threaten the Dark Race.
It might even threaten the Dao Lord of Eternal Night.
"Hope Fire? What kind of strange fire is this, that it can actually threaten the power of Eternal Night?"
"No wonder you paid such a great price to awaken us completely; the power of this flame is far too dangerous, it is simply the nemesis of our Dark Race."
"Your decision was correct; the threat of this civilization is greater than that of any civilization from any previous era, and they must absolutely not be allowed to fully develop."
"Indeed, once they develop, they might spread the flames throughout every corner of the Immortal World, conquering countless territories, and perhaps even strike at this Eternal Night Dao Palace."
"I never imagined that after arriving in this Universe, our greatest enemy would still appear."
The many Taigu Immortal Kings had expressions grave to the extreme.
Although the civilization of this current era had not yet fully grown, the power and signs it displayed were already enough to make them feel as if needles were pricking their backs.
The so-called lion hunting a rabbit still uses its full strength.
They would not foolishly wait for the civilization of this era to fully develop before dealing with it.
Naturally, it was necessary to suppress this civilization while it had not yet developed.
Suppressing it this way would require the least amount of effort.
The price paid would undoubtedly be the smallest as well.
"Respected lords, what shall we do now?"
The many Ancient Kings all looked at these Taigu Immortal Kings.
They no longer had any solutions.
It was not that they hadn't thought of attacking the White Day Land before, but they had returned in defeat after several attempts.
Some Immortal Kings had even been captured, their fates unknown.
After several consecutive times, they knew that with their current power, they could not do anything to the White Day Land.
That was why they had paid a huge price to awaken a full three thousand Taigu Immortal Kings.
They believed that such a massive force would certainly cause the civilization of this era to vanish into ashes.
Even if they could not destroy them, they could interrupt their development and buy time for the Dark Race.
"No rush; we have only just awakened and still need some time to recover our strength."
"That is correct; one must know oneself and the enemy to be victorious in every battle. First, hand over your data regarding this era to us so we can understand the power mastered by this era's civilization."
"Besides that, we will also head to various parts of the Eternal Night Land to awaken those slumbering dark creatures."
"Yes, the many beings who died in various eras were long ago eroded by the power of Eternal Night, becoming Puppets of Eternal Night; if they are revived, they can also serve as cannon fodder in our hands."
"Since that is the case, let these undead from the prehistoric era take action to attack the civilization of this era, consuming some of this era's civilization's power first, and then we shall strike."
The many Taigu Immortal Kings of the Dark Race discussed among themselves, and in a few words, they decided on a battle plan.
Since they could not know the specific situation inside the White Day Land, they would dispatch a large amount of cannon fodder to attack the White Day Land.
When it came to troop numbers, the dark creatures controlled by the Dark Race were not something the civilization of this era could compare to.
"Yes, respected lords."
Hearing this, the many Ancient Kings of the Dark Race were overjoyed.
It could only be said that they were worthy of being Taigu Immortal Kings, all of them old antiques who had survived for countless years; having just awakened, they had already formulated a battle plan, and they believed that they would soon be able to cause the civilization of this era to be completely destroyed.
