Chapter 943: World-Ending Horn

Countless living beings, the instant they heard the horn, felt a bone‑deep terror.

It was absolute Darkness, absolute despair, absolute Destruction.

In the void, it seemed as if Great Terror had already arrived.

The horn carries a strange magic, an attack aimed at the spirit.

It can shatter a person's will to resist, grievously wound the soul, and crush the Dark Heart.

The lowly Dark Cultivator, the moment the horn sounded, went limp, fell to the ground foaming at the mouth, convulsed uncontrollably, life and death unknown.

In their Sea of Consciousness, it seemed to awaken the deepest, oldest, most dreaded memories of terror, and the Dark Heart collapsed instantly.

Even a Dark Being of the Immortal realm, upon hearing the horn, would have heart and spirit shaken, unable to calm, Dao Foundation unstable, suffering a massive impact.

Only those stronger than the Dao Realm can, by virtue of deep cultivation, barely steady their mind, though their complexion turns to the extreme.

"This is…"

The Nine Heavens Ten Lands, countless ancient beings, suddenly rose, their faces showing horror and despair.

"This is the World-Ending Horn! Legend says it sounds but once per Epoch in the Wugui Realm!"

The ancient monster, having lived countless years, trembled as it uttered the name.

"Legend has it, once this horn is sounded, the Wugui Realm will unleash the most terrifying slaughter."

"Their most terrifying World-Ending legion will mobilize; the endless worlds, the cosmos, all living beings will, under this most terrifying World-Ending tide, despairingly turn to ash…"

"And the terrifying Dark Being of the Wugui Realm, under the shroud of the World-Ending Horn, will utterly annihilate the entire Epoch, turning it into what they call Dark Nourishment!"

"It seems that this Epoch's most terrifying World-Ending Calamity is finally, inevitably, about to descend!"

"The recent one was probably just a simple probe; now the real serious move begins!"

Panic spread like a plague, rapidly.

In every great city, countless mortals knelt and prayed, their cries merging into one.

In every major sect, the heads and Elders wore grave faces, urgently summoned disciples, and set up a massive mountain‑guard formation.

Everyone knows the true apocalypse has arrived.

The Zhutian Wanjie's truly supreme beings, ancient titans, all rose, their expressions solemn, and said gravely:

"It has come…"

The Ye Clan Ancestral Land, deepest part of the Ancestral Realm.

Ye Taishang's Dark Eye suddenly opened.

Two beams of light shot from his eyes, piercing countless halls, as if gazing toward the distant Wugui Realm.

He murmured:

"At last it has come. The World-Ending Horn has sounded…"

He rose, the aura of the Ultimate Leap Peak radiating from him without reservation.

Indeed, after centuries of arduous cultivation, he has broken through to the Ultimate Leap Peak.

Just a hair's breadth away from advancing a half‑step toward Transcendent.

"The time has come."

Ye Taishang adjusted his robes and stepped out of the seclusion chamber.

Outside the hall, an elderly man with white, graying hair already stood.

The elder wore a plain gray robe, his features ordinary, aura restrained, like any common old man.

This man is the Guardian of the Ye Clan who fought in the Border Wasteland war of the Other Shore World… Ye Di!

"Supreme Ancestor, have you decided?"

Ye Di looked at Ye Taishang, spoke slowly, his voice calm.

"Mm."

Ye Taishang nodded, his tone firm:

"The Calamity is at hand; as a member of the Ye Clan, we cannot retreat."

"I will go to the front line of the Wugui Space‑Time Sea; contributing a bit would be good."

"The Ancestral Land is yours then."

"And that kid Wushuang… also Jiaoxue, and the other clan members, all entrust you."

Ye Di gave a slight nod:

"Rest assured, with this old man here, the Ye Clan endures."

"You go to the front, no need to worry about the rear."

Ye Taishang gave him a deep look and solemnly nodded.

Then, without hesitation, he turned, became a streak of light, and sped toward the No Return Path direction.

His cultivation may not be top‑tier, and on a battlefield crowded with Transcendents, he might not be decisive.

But he must go.

It is the duty of a Ye Clan member.

And also the responsibility of a Zhutian being.

Watching his departing figure, Ye Di let out a soft sigh.

He looked toward the Wugui Realm; in his murky Dark Eye flickered a complex glint.

"The Calamity…"

"Hope… this time, we can endure, right?"

He turned, and walked slowly toward the depths of the Ancestral Land.

The Ye Clan's defensive formation will, under his command, be fully activated.

This is the Ye Clan's final barrier, and also its last retreat.

At the same time.

Within the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, the Zhutian Wanjie, and the boundlessly vast expanse.

Those endless forces, the famed Heavenly Pride, the great powers who partake in creation, all stepped onto the No Return Path.

All the great Peerless Sacred Realms, Undying Aristocratic Families, Ancient Imperial Dynasties, Supreme Great Sects, Ten Fierce Beings races, Eternal Forbidden Zones, various Ferocious Spirit Bloodlines, various exotic races, the countless wandering cultivators, and so on, all set out.

Some wore battle armor, brandished weapons, their gazes resolute;

Some dragged families, placed their clan members in the rear, and resolutely rushed to the front line;

Some, with white hair and few years left, still lifted weapons that had been Chenfeng for many years.

They knew deeply that this time, it would truly be a life‑or‑death battle.

Not fighting means death; there is no third possibility.

With no retreat possible, there is only a fight to the death.

Dark Shadows, one after another, like streams merging into a river, converged toward the direction of the Wugui Space‑Time Sea.

This road is destined to be littered with Dark Corpses.

Yet no one flinches.

Because behind them lie their homes, their kin, everything they wish to protect.

……

The Wugui Space‑Time Sea, the frontmost defense line.

The moment the apocalypse horn sounded, the entire defense line activated in full.

Hùn Dùn Lóng Zhǔ, Ning Wu Jiu, Supreme Sword Emperor, Star River Blade Ancestor, Sky‑devouring Ox Lord, Dung Sea Maggot Emperor, Supreme Horse Emperor, White Tiger Empress, the eight venerable Transcendents immediately appeared at the forefront of the defense line.

Their expressions were grave, as if facing a great enemy.

The centuries‑long peace, they knew, was only temporary.

What was destined to come, ultimately has come.

"Everyone, prepare for battle."

Hùn Dùn Lóng Zhǔ, wielding the Imperial Dragon Halberd, let the golden Dragon Might rise slowly, his voice steady and powerful:

"This battle is the final battle."

"Victory means the Zhutian endure; defeat, ten thousand calamities never recover."

"Behind us are the Zhutian Wanjie, with no retreat possible."

"Only a fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The other seven Transcendents answered in unison, their voices shaking heaven and earth.

Soon, Dark Shadows arrived one after another.

Under the leadership of Xiaosa Ge, Jian Fengzi and Di Xiangsi, the remaining four of the Northern Dipper Seven Stars swiftly took their positions.

The seven stood on seven corresponding Space‑Time nodes, fingers forming incantations, star power linked.

"Northern Dipper Seven Stars Array, activate!"

Xiaosa Ge let out a low shout.

All seven simultaneously radiated brilliant starlight—Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, Yao Guang—forming a line of seven stars that merged into a massive stellar array!

Within the array, three Transcendents and four half‑step Transcendents blended their power perfectly.

A terrifying aura far surpassing ordinary Transcendents emanated from the array.

"Northern Dipper Seven Stars Array, complete!"

Ning Wushuang stood proudly beside Miao Miao Xianzi, the Destruction Divine Eye opening in his eyes, perceiving every movement ahead.

His Space Dao Rule unfurled at full force, covering the entire defense line; should any Bane Creatures breach it, he could detect them instantly and execute a spatial kill.

Xu Tianfeng and the Mysterious Being also arrived in this area, one on the left, one on the right, coordinating with Ning Wushuang's actions.

Both of them, half‑step Transcendents in combat power, combined with the Northern Dipper Seven Stars Array, form an undeniably massive force.
