Chapter 926
On the other side, the situation in all the heavens and myriad realms was already in jeopardy.
The attacks and invasions of the Ominous Faction from the No Return Realm were becoming more and more frequent, and the scale was getting larger and larger.
The living beings sent out were also becoming more and more terrifying.
At first, it was just small groups of Ominous troops below the Supreme Realm crossing the No Return Road to harass the border.
Later, Ominous generals at the Half-step Transcendence level began to lead invasions in person.
Every invasion brought huge disasters.
Ancient life stars were eroded by the Ominous Power and turned into dead stars.
Great worlds were breached by the Ominous Army, and the people were plunged into misery.
Countless cultivators rose up to resist, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and they were ruthlessly crushed.
Fresh blood stained every piece of land in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Wails and screams resounded in every corner of all the heavens and myriad realms.
The emotion of despair spread rapidly like a plague.
More and more people gave up resistance.
Hiding in dark corners, waiting for the arrival of death.
But more people chose to stand up.
In all the heavens and myriad realms, batch after batch of strong people were forced to step onto the No Return Road.
To participate in these great annihilation battles that seemed to have no end and no hope.
Among them were white-haired old men, cultivators in their prime, and teenagers who had not yet lost their childishness.
They came from different races and different forces.
They might be strangers, or they might have had grudges in the past.
But at this moment, they all had the same goal.
That was to use their own flesh and blood to stand in front of the Ominous Army.
To fight for a glimmer of hope for their homeland and their loved ones behind them.
They knew they would die, but they did not hesitate.
Figure after figure stepped onto the No Return Road.
Their backs were resolute and tragic.
Many people never returned after this departure.
Buried forever in that dark land.
But not a single person retreated.
Because they knew there was no retreat.
Behind them was everything they wanted to protect.
Deep in the No Return Road, the forbidden area of the No Return Space-Time Sea, and the absolute frontline confronting the No Return Realm.
This was the final barrier of all the heavens and myriad realms.
Once this place was breached, the Ominous Army would drive straight in and sweep across all the heavens and myriad realms.
Therefore, almost all the top strong people of all the heavens and myriad realms were concentrated here.
Ye Zhetian, Ye Beichen, the Ox Lord, the Honghuang Dragon Ancestor, the Painting Lord, the Dan Heavenly Emperor, the Fate Heavenly Emperor, the Xuan Heavenly Emperor, the God-Demon Immortal Venerable, the Dust Emperor...
A group of famous Half-step Transcendents of all the heavens and myriad realms had long been concentrated in this region of the No Return Space-Time Sea.
Most of them were in seclusion in the No Return Space-Time Sea, attacking the Transcendent Realm.
Some were guarding the frontline, resisting the repeated attacks of the Ominous Army.
Some were confronting terrifying existences from the No Return Realm, keeping each other in check.
They were the pillars of all the heavens and myriad realms.
They were the final hope of all living beings.
For over a hundred years, it was precisely because of them that the Ominous Army had not been able to completely breach the defense line.
And could barely maintain the stalemate.
But everyone knew that this stalemate was only temporary.
The Ominous Clan's true trump card had not yet been used.
Those high and mighty Ominous Saint Ancestors, those true Transcendents, had not yet made a move.
Once they made a move, this defense line would be vulnerable.
Everyone was racing against time.
They hoped that before the Ominous Saint Ancestors made a move, someone could break through to the Transcendent Realm.
And have the power to contend with the other side.
But how easy was it to break through to Transcendence?
Throughout history, countless brilliant talents had been stuck at this step until they finally died.
These people had been stuck at the peak of Half-step Transcendence for countless years.
Wanting to take the final step was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Time passed day by day in this oppressive and tense atmosphere.
Everyone was waiting.
Waiting for hope, or... waiting for despair.
Just over fifty years later.
That is, one hundred and fifty-seven years after Ye Wuque "fell".
The most terrifying Annihilation Calamity, the most terrifying Dark Calamity, and the unprecedented Ominous Disaster finally erupted!
Although there had been countless signs, and although everyone was mentally prepared.
No living being could stop the eruption of all this!
On this day.
In the deepest part of the No Return Space-Time Sea, that huge black portal connecting to the No Return Realm suddenly trembled violently.
"Rum-rum-rum——!!!"
A deafening roar resounded throughout the entire No Return Space-Time Sea.
That black portal, which was hundreds of millions of miles high, slowly opened!
"Woo——!!!"
A harsh horn sound came from within the portal.
Carrying endless bloodiness and evil.
The next moment!
An endless Ominous Army, like a black tide, erupted from the portal!
Endless, covering the sky and the earth!
One could not see the end at a glance!
The lowest cultivation realm of this Ominous Army was the peak of the Immortal King!
Every soldier exuded cold killing intent and rich Ominous Power.
Generals at the Dao Realm level and commanders at the Supreme Realm level were everywhere!
There were also no shortage of generals at the Ultimate Leap and even Half-step Transcendence levels!
A black mass covered the entire sky.
Wherever they passed, space-time shattered, and all things were extinguished.
And the most terrifying, without a doubt, were the true supreme existences among the Ominous Clan, the world-dominating beings at the Ominous Saint Ancestor level!
This was... a true Transcendent!
Without the slightest hesitation or delay, as soon as the Annihilation Calamity began, a Transcendent of the Ominous Clan descended!
"Hum——!!!"
A terrifying pressure that could not be described spread from the black portal.
Pressuring the entire No Return Space-Time Sea!
Directly pressing down! Sweeping everything!
This pressure was cold, evil, and high and mighty, viewing all living beings as ants.
Under this pressure, the space-time turbulence of the entire No Return Space-Time Sea instantly stopped.
All the Ominous Army stopped in unison and prostrated on the ground, expressing their awe for the supreme existence.
And the countless living beings of all the heavens and myriad realms guarding the first defense line were instantly killed under the impact of this first wave of pressure!
They did not even have the qualifications to resist!
"Puff——! Puff——! Puff——!"
Countless cultivators had their bodies instantly explode, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
They did not even have time to let out a scream.
Their bodies and spirits were annihilated, dead beyond dead.
"Not good! Quick! Retreat quickly!"
"Is this a true Transcendent?! How is this possible!"
"A Transcendent descended as soon as the Annihilation Calamity began?"
"Heavens! How can we fight this?!"
"Ah ah ah!"
Many living beings of all the heavens and myriad realms guarding here did not even have the qualifications to run away and were directly killed by the pressure.
Bleeding in the long sky, turning into ashes.
The scene was tragic to the extreme.
At that time, guarding the very front of the first defense line were precisely the Honghuang Dragon Ancestor and the Fate Heavenly Emperor.
These two famous Half-step Transcendents were both veteran strong people who had lived for endless years.
These two could be considered top existences among the Half-step Transcendents of all the heavens and myriad realms.
They were only one step away from the true Transcendent Realm.
Feeling that terrifying Transcendent pressure, their complexions instantly became incomparably solemn.
"Transcendent... it really is a Transcendent..."
The Honghuang Dragon Ancestor gripped the dragon spear in his hand tightly, and the skin under his dragon scales was slightly tense.
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Fate Heavenly Emperor, retreat quickly!"
"Go back and notify the others to be prepared!"
"I will block him!"
The Fate Heavenly Emperor's complexion changed:
"Honghuang Dragon Ancestor! Are you crazy?!"
"That is a true Transcendent! You can't block him!"
"If we leave, we leave together!"
