Chapter 49: Chaos Ends, Truth of the Universe

God-Demon Battlefield, Heaven and Earth changed color.

The Dark Path produced six Heavenly Sovereigns in one day; this was something no one had expected.

After a brief moment of daze, the gods of the Dark Path were all overjoyed.

"Good, good, good!!"

"In the last great catastrophe, you White Path had two Heavenly Sovereigns emerge at the same time."

"Today, our Dark Path produced six in one breath! A full six!"

"Hahaha!!"

The Dark Path Heavenly Sovereigns felt extremely gratified in their hearts.

They only felt a sense of pride and elation.

Their hearts swept away the gloom of being suppressed by the White Path for a hundred thousand years.

"A hundred thousand years east of the Tianhe, a hundred thousand years west of the Tianhe!"

Jin Que Tian Jun laughed: "Yesterday your White Path was dominant, today it's our Dark Path's turn to flourish!"

"Fellow Daoist Jin Que speaks truly!"

"Fellow Daoists, let's put in some effort, drive them back west of the Tianhe, and take back everything that belongs to us."

With six more Heavenly Sovereigns, the Dark Path's morale was greatly boosted.

The crowd of Heavenly Sovereigns were all eager to strike back.

"Eh, what are these few kids trying to do?"

Jin Que Tian Jun looked at Xiang Xuanqing and the others flying toward the center of the battlefield.

"Are they going to challenge Ling Xu?"

Jin Que Tian Jun saw the six of them charging straight toward the White Path's number one Heavenly Sovereign—Ling Xu.

"Good lad!"

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

"Jin Que, what are you dazing for? We can't let the juniors steal the show!"

The Dark Path's number one Heavenly Sovereign, Xuan Shang Tian Jun, was a kind old man.

He watched happily as his old friend and the juniors played wits and courage.

Xuan Shang planned to wait a bit before going to rescue the few puffed-up juniors.

Then.

He saw the scene of Ling Xu Tian Jun being beaten up.

Xiang Xuanqing carried a pig-slaughtering knife, and with every rise and fall of the blade, he suppressed Ling Xu Tian Jun so he couldn't lift his head.

"No!"

Ling Xu Tian Jun was stunned; since he became famous, when had he ever been so wretched?

"This knife is strange!"

Ling Xu stared fixedly at the pig-slaughtering knife in Xiang Xuanqing's hand.

This knife was nothing more than cast iron, ordinary and plain.

But why, under this strike, did he feel the majesty of Heaven, and he, Ling Xu, was just a pig or dog waiting to be slaughtered under this blade?

"Hey you, if you have the ability, don't run!"

Xiang Xuanqing held a mourning staff in his left hand and a pig-slaughtering knife in his right, chasing Ling Xu relentlessly.

"Stop him!"

Ming He was on the left, Ruoxi on the right.

Da Siming was above, Hong Yun was below.

Zhen Yuanzi used a Displacement Talisman and blocked the very front.

Within the six directions, they trapped Ling Xu Tian Jun tightly.

The White Path Heavenly Sovereigns were all stunned; they didn't expect their number one Heavenly Sovereign to be trapped by six juniors who had just ascended.

"Wuliang, hurry up and save him!"

"Good!"

Li Ming shouted "good" while charging toward Xuan Shang Tian Jun with his sword.

Seeing this, the crowd was first confused, then their eyes lit up.

"Besiege Xuan to save Ling, brilliant!"

They also split off several Heavenly Sovereigns to surround Xuan Shang Tian Jun.

Xuan Shang Tian Jun's face turned black.

Soon, he was surrounded by Li Ming and the others.

"Release him!"

Xiu Ming Shen Jun looked at Xiang Xuanqing.

Xiang Xuanqing looked at the besieged Dark Path number one Heavenly Sovereign.

He shook his head: "You caught Xuan Shang."

"We have no relation to him, why should we release him?"

After saying that, Xiang Xuanqing raised his hand and gave Ling Xu a heavy blow, knocking him unconscious.

"You!"

Xiu Ming Tian Jun was anxious.

And seeing this, Li Ming glanced at Xuan Shang.

Bang!

"Wuliang, you are..."

The Heavenly Sovereign beside him looked in surprise as Li Ming used the hilt of his sword to knock Xuan Shang unconscious.

Li Ming said calmly: "Sorry, my hand slipped."

The Dark-White Board judged instantly.

Xiang Xuanqing defeated the White Path number one Heavenly Sovereign and advanced to Dark Path number one.

Li Ming defeated the Dark Path number one Heavenly Sovereign and advanced to White Path number one.

Now, both the Dark and White Paths were numb.

"What to do?"

The situation was deadlocked for a moment.

All of this happened too fast, leaving both sides at a loss.

【Can you sense it?】

【It's here.】

Xiang Xuanqing and Li Ming looked at each other, both looking into the depths of the void.

Two figures, majestic as the might of Heaven, appeared on the God-Demon Battlefield.

They were like incarnations of the Great Dao, and also like the condensation of rules, bringing terrible pressure to the entire battlefield.

"Fellow Daoists have good means!"

The white-clothed immortal spoke first; his eyes were indifferent, his words cold, as if he were a heartless machine.

The other black-clothed immortal had fierce eyes, prominent cheekbones, and a very gloomy expression.

He didn't look at Xiang Xuanqing and Li Ming, but swept a glance at Zhen Yuanzi.

"Tampering with the laws of the universe, you already have a path to death."

Zhen Yuanzi shrugged indifferently, "You survive first before talking."

Compared to the calmness of the six-person group, when the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Dark and White Paths saw these two immortals, it was as if a pot had exploded.

"Ancient Heavenly Sovereign! Original Heavenly Sovereign!"

"Didn't they die long ago?" "Could that rumor be true?!"

Jin Que Tian Jun muttered to himself: "Ancient legends say that the first two Heavenly Sovereigns of the Dark and White Paths ended the Slaughter Era and had great merit to all living beings."

"But their actions were against Heaven, so after setting the rules for the new era, both passed away one after another."

"However, there is another version of this legend!"

Xiu Ming Tian Jun of the White Path frowned, staring fixedly at the two immortals: "The two Heavenly Sovereigns didn't die at all; they lived in seclusion behind the scenes, manipulating everything, watching the rise and fall of this universe's catastrophes."

"There are even rumors..."

Jin Que Tian Jun took over the conversation, looking at the hijacked Xuan Shang and Ling Xu: "The number one Heavenly Sovereign of every generation of the Dark and White Paths, without exception, is actually an incarnation of the original Heavenly Sovereigns."

"What you said is not wrong."

The knocked-out Xuan Shang and Ling Xu woke up leisurely.

Xuan Shang looked at Jin Que Tian Jun: "Only one point, you said wrong."

"The number one Heavenly Sovereign of every generation is not an incarnation of the original Heavenly Sovereigns."

"But food!" Ling Xu Tian Jun's eyes revealed a sense of sorrow.

Hearing this, Xiang Xuanqing's heart moved.

He looked at the back of Ling Xu Tian Jun's head.

I saw that where he was hit by the mourning staff, a long crack suddenly appeared, emitting a glowing light.

Xiang Xuanqing frowned immediately.

Through the crack, he saw inside Ling Xu's body.

It was empty inside.

The brain, divine treasury, and flesh had all been eaten clean.

Only a complete human skin remained.

Beside Li Ming, Xuan Shang Tian Jun reached around to the back of his head and pried open the crack.

While prying, Xuan Shang laughed: "It is said through the generations that the number one Heavenly Sovereign of the Dark and White Paths knows the mystery of the origin of the Yin-Yang universe."

"So, after we became the number one Heavenly Sovereigns of the two paths forty thousand years ago, we went to the Ancient Land of Origin in high spirits."

"Planning to contact the truth of this world!"

Ling Xu Tian Jun was also prying open the back of his own head.

It's just that he was crying, crying very sadly: "When we saw the two original Heavenly Sovereigns, we were very happy."

"Because they were the heroes who ended the Slaughter Era! They were the objects we worshipped since childhood."

"Sure enough, the two Heavenly Sovereigns did not disappoint our expectations; they entertained us warmly."

"In the Ancient Land of Origin, they told us about ancient anecdotes, and about the Yin-Yang universe before the Dark-White Board appeared."

Xuan Shang's movements were fast; his skin was already half pried open, revealing an empty, glowing interior of his body.

He continued to laugh loudly: "They told us about the hardships of the Slaughter Era."

"Gods fighting each other, living beings slaughtering each other, the universe was in chaos at every moment; what a tragic scene that was!"

"Gu, he and Original Heavenly Sovereign understood the truth of the world, that there was a mastermind behind the Dark-White Board. That mastermind threw the Dark-White Board into our universe just to verify his Dao."

"He watched us kill and fight, taking it as pleasure. If any living being was about to break through to Heavenly Sovereign, they would be taken away."

"Until one day, this mastermind seemed to be tired of our world, or perhaps because something happened."

"In short, he disappeared."

Ling Xu Tian Jun's skin was also pried halfway, and he cried and said: "Ancient Heavenly Sovereign and Original Heavenly Sovereign were overjoyed after discovering this."

"However, what followed was another problem: the mastermind no longer paid attention to the Yin-Yang universe, but the Dark-White Board was still there."

"As long as the Dark-White Board exists for one day, the slaughter of the Yin-Yang universe will never end."

"So, they thought of a way."

This method is what everyone knows today.

The two Heavenly Sovereigns proved the Dao one after another, ending the Slaughter Era and opening the Catastrophe Era.

"The two Heavenly Sovereigns are truly heroic figures!"

Xuan Shang's skin was already two-thirds pried open, and he was still laughing, laughing very brightly.

"Although there is still fighting and slaughter in the Catastrophe Era, at least the great catastrophe has become orderly."

"The Dark and White Paths compete for the board, no longer slaughtering at every moment like before. Instead, they compete on the God-Demon Battlefield every hundred thousand years."

"Even if there are casualties, at least it is much better than the Slaughter Era."

"Moreover, the two Heavenly Sovereigns had another intention." Ling Xu Tian Jun seemed a bit excited: "As long as the Dark-White Board is still there, that disappeared mastermind will eventually return one day."

"At that time, are we going to be lambs waiting to be slaughtered? No!"

"We want to master our own destiny!"

"We need more Heavenly Sovereigns, more strong people, so that we can resist the mastermind and even defeat him!"

"The Catastrophe Era is the era of the two Heavenly Sovereigns training troops! We need to turn the Dark-White Board, the cause of chaos, into the greatest assistance, to cultivate our own strong people and accumulate the power of the entire universe!"

"Starting a catastrophe every hundred thousand years, screening strong people step by step, and then inviting them to join the ranks of saving the world!"

"What a grand plan!" Xuan Shang Tian Jun's eyes were fanatical, and he laughed loudly.

"At that time, we were all amazed by the handiwork of the two Heavenly Sovereigns."

Hearing this, the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Dark and White Paths all nodded.

If it only went this far, the two Heavenly Sovereigns could truly be called the saviors of the Yin-Yang universe.

Xuan Shang Tian Jun continued: "After the two Heavenly Sovereigns told us about this grand plan, we were excited and couldn't wait to join them and fight for the future of the entire universe!"

"Original, our current strength is not enough, the mastermind is very powerful, far beyond imagination."

At this time, Ling Xu Tian Jun also pried open two-thirds of his skin.

"We swore an oath at that time that we must work hard to cultivate and try our best to improve ourselves, and no matter what, we would contribute in the future."

Xuan Shang and Ling Xu laughed and cried: "It was Ancient and Original Heavenly Sovereigns who chose to keep us, saying we could become a force for them."

"We were overjoyed and proposed to see other fellow practitioners, such as Fei Yuan Heavenly Sovereign, Hanhai Heavenly Sovereign, Biluo Heavenly Sovereign... they were all strong people of an era and had also become the number one Heavenly Sovereign of the two paths."

"Ancient Heavenly Sovereign and Original Heavenly Sovereign agreed and brought me to see them; they were all vivid and lifelike."

"We feasted together and discussed the Dao together; how happy it was!"

As the story reached this point, tears flowed from the corners of Xuan Shang and Ling Xu's eyes.

"But in the end, we still discovered the problem with our predecessors, but it was too late."

Ling Xu Tian Jun's face was ferocious, and he shrieked.

"We resisted, just like our predecessors!"

"We want to escape and tell the truth to the world."

"Unfortunately, we failed."

"What grand plan, what for the future of the universe."

"In the end, Ancient Heavenly Sovereign and Original Heavenly Sovereign were all for themselves."

"Hahahahahaha!!!"

They had completely pried open their skin.

Two human skins fluttered in the air like long banners, hunting in the wind.

Making everyone of the Dark and White Paths feel a chill.

Voices like ghosts and demons sounded in the ears of the Heavenly Sovereigns.

"The moment we stepped into the Ancient Land of Origin, we had already been eaten clean."
