Chapter 489
This is far beyond what "double the joy" could describe — it's absolutely awesome, okay?
If I can't be the Lord of Spacetime, then I'll go be one of the Three Thousand Apostles — the options have multiplied enormously.
West Kunlun, within the Yaochi.
Beneath the boundless flat-peach tree, the Queen Mother of the West sat cross-legged. Wave upon wave of strange fragrance gathered in, and stream after stream of flat-peach essence transformed into an inexhaustible source that flowed into her body.
As her eyes shifted, they seemed to contain the destruction of countless stars and the birth of endless universes; bursts of violent aura erupted from them, and bolts of divine lightning flashed within, as if unleashing an unimaginable, tremendous power.
Every wisp seemed enough to make the planes tremble, every wisp seemed enough to make spacetime quake, and even the myriad heavens appeared unable to bear it.
"Lord of Spacetime, Three Thousand Apostles... mine is about ready too. It's time — begin!"
Taking a deep breath, a glimmer of anticipation surfaced in the Queen Mother of the West's beautiful eyes, and bolts of lightning gathered around her body, as if taking shape.
Layer upon layer they evolved, strand upon strand they converged — like all creation. From the One as the beginning, they proliferated boundlessly, as if becoming three thousand in number, profound and serene, measureless and endless, brimming with a savage yet annihilating and terrifying flavor.
Without a doubt, and quite obviously, the Queen Mother of the West had also attained enlightenment!
Just as Li Mo had said — they are all Honghuang titans, all beings who stand at the pinnacle of Honghuang. How many of them could be fools? How many could be simpletons? Naturally, they grasp a hint at once and learn at the first try.
If the opportunity had never appeared, lacking a chance they might still have failed to understand. But once the first person stepped forward, how could these Honghuang titans possibly fail to react, how could they still not attain enlightenment?
Of course it should be so, and of course it must all be so.
"I hold the Dao of Thunder. My source is the Dao of Chaotic Thunder, encompassing the Three Thousand Great Daos and gathering the ten thousand lesser Daos. From this I condense a Chaotic Thunder that bears no attribute yet contains infinite terror and all profundity."
"This is the root, and also the source. To bring it to its utmost, one needs many realizations. If I alone remain limited, it is hard to push it to the extreme."
"Thus, I need a lineage, I need extension."
"Taking me as the source, I hold Chaotic Thunder. From this I enfeoff three thousand Lords of Thunder, each Lord of Thunder wielding one Great Dao of thunder extended from my Chaotic Thunder. From this as the beginning, from this it extends, reaching the immeasurable."
"This is my Dao, and also my lineage. When they converge — a trinity — only then is it the true, ultimate Dao of Thunder!"
The Queen Mother of the West murmured to herself, a smile of absolute beauty surfacing on her face.
When she smiled, heaven and earth and all things seemed to dim and lose their color; yet she carried a dignified grace, like a supreme Empress, like the Sovereign of Punishment — lofty and paramount.
Like imperial might surging and the emperor's qi billowing to the heavens, qi swallowing the mountains and rivers; with a wave of her hand, it seemed as if billions of thunderbolts evolved, brimming with the world's most extreme destruction.
Begin!
Since the Spacetime Legion and the Three Thousand Apostles have already emerged, then her Lords of Thunder should also come into the world!
It is time — to come into the world!!!
Boom boom boom!!!
Boom boom boom!!!
Just as countless beings began to comprehend the supreme cultivation method, in an instant, another sudden change appeared.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if the rumbling never ceased; the rolling thunder echoed between heaven and earth, suddenly appearing across the boundless universe.
Unlike the previous two times — which were full of myriad phenomena and profound marvels — this time it was direct and far more brutal, full of destruction, full of savagery, full of annihilation.
Cracks spread densely across heaven and earth, as if attacking boundlessly, as if battling without end, rumbling thunderously, vast and endless.
Then, before the myriad beings could react, the Queen Mother of the West's dignified and graceful voice had already resounded throughout the entire Honghuang World. Unlike the phenomena, her words were also different.
In other aspects, her Lords of Thunder might be roughly on par with the Lord of Spacetime and the Three Thousand Apostles, but in attack they were unmatched, unrivaled in contest — wielding thunder meant holding supreme offense, imbued with terrifying slaughtering power.
When her words fell, in an instant the myriad phenomena and thunder swiftly receded, vanishing so quickly it was as if they had never appeared.
Full of iron and blood, full of decisiveness, without the slightest hesitation or wasted effort.
For a moment, all of Honghuang was filled with shock and stupor, tongues clicking in disbelief, as if utterly unable to accept it.
Another supreme lineage?
Another ticket to step into the supreme domain!?
The surprise came too suddenly, came too fast, leaving all Honghuang beings at a loss.
What is this wave?
This wave is triple the joy!
The options are too many, far too many — suddenly the beings have all developed a bit of choice paralysis.
And at this moment, the sudden change... appeared madly!
Zhunti, Jiying, the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Taiyi, Resurrect Pangu....
Over twenty titan-level powerhouses of Honghuang spoke in succession, one after another lineages descending from the void.
The entire Honghuang heaven and earth was already filled with phenomena, as if it had never stopped; countless supreme flavors, like branding seals, gathered in every corner of Honghuang.
Vast and boundless, magnificent and immeasurable.
Different lineages, different systems, different powers — as if encompassing all of Honghuang, as if sweeping across the boundless domains of the vast dimensions.
At this moment, all of Honghuang.... fell into utter deathly silence!
True deathly silence, true stupor — all had gone wooden, all had gone rigid; their minds had become a complete blank, turned into total blankness, like a buzzing in their ears; beyond staring dumbfounded, there was nothing else.
Supreme systems!
Countless supreme systems!
Countless supreme lineages!
These choices cannot be described by words — they are simply all creation, simply vast and boundless. Not to mention choice paralysis, this is straight-up choice detonation syndrome!
"A great age, a true great age — this is the true great age...."
At this moment, this thought surfaced in the minds of all beings in Honghuang; murmuring-like words issued from their mouths, as if echoing endlessly, faintly resounding throughout all of Honghuang.
A great age, a true great age!
This — this is a great age!
A magnificent great age!
A glorious great age!
A vast great age!
GLOSSARY:
【Li Mo, Bai Chi, Lei Ting, Wan Lei, Resurrect Pangu, Especially Di Jun, West Kunlun, Shanhe, cultivate, Honghuang World】
Vast and mighty, this Great Era!!!
More than twenty Primordial giants, over twenty supreme lineages; each possesses authority and power reaching the Dao-Attainment Realm above the Heavens, even half a step toward the Primordial Source, while one can command three thousand worlds, with branches exceeding hundreds of millions.
What this means is self-evident, not hard to imagine; it almost encompasses... the entire Primordial World!
Enough to make one tremble, enough to make one disbelieve!
