Eternal Time and Space

Chapter 22 The Beast King’s Rebellion

All six opened their eyes simultaneously.

When the Beginningless opens its eyes, the past is frozen; when the Immeasurable opens its eyes, the future begins to differentiate; when the Golden-Winged Roc opens its eyes, the celestial starry sky shines brightly; when the Ghost Chariot opens its eyes, the underworld is silent with death; when the Peacock opens its eyes, the human world is in turmoil; when the Purple Star's true form opens its eyes, the present is eternal.

Six pairs of eyes, six gazes, converge at this moment. Where their gazes meet, time and space are born and die, and all things are reincarnated.

A smile appeared on Zi Chen's lips, but it froze slightly as soon as it appeared.

Zi Chen sensed that in some corner of this primordial land, an aura had just completed a breakthrough, and someone had surpassed the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm earlier than him.

Zi Chen's smile gradually faded, his gaze piercing through the sea of ​​stars, through the heavens, through endless mountains and rivers, looking towards the depths of the primordial land.

This place was shrouded in an extremely mysterious power, the secrets of heaven were in chaos and could not be explored. This shrouding power was more profound and more elusive than the one he had sensed on Jidu before.

It is not only concealed by innate treasures, but also protected by the Heavenly Dao.

Zi Chen withdrew his gaze, his expression returning to calm.

There were many powerful beings in the primordial world, and he was never the only one. After Pangu created the world, countless beings, including the remnants of chaotic gods and demons, innate origins, and postnatal beings, were pursuing higher realms. It is not surprising that some people were one step ahead of him.

Being one step ahead doesn't mean always being one step ahead. The potential of the Great Dao of Time and Space is far from exhausted. With the six bodies initially formed and the three realms initially established, the Innate Great Saint Realm is only the first step for him to surpass Pangu.

Zi Chen closed his eyes again.

The halo behind his head slowly rotated, and the silvery-white light spread like ripples. The starlight of the heavens, the ghostly light of the underworld, and the blood light of the human world intertwined and enveloped him.

Each of the six bodies returned to its place, the beginningless sinking into the past, the immeasurable extending into the future, the golden-winged roc sitting in the celestial starry sky, the ghost chariot guarding the River of Oblivion in the underworld, the peacock patrolling the mortal world, and Zi Chen himself, sitting cross-legged in the present, bearing everything.

Zi Chen needs to seclude himself in the Star Sea for a period of time to consolidate his cultivation at the Innate Great Saint Realm. With his six bodies newly formed and the Three Realms newly established, everything is still in its most vulnerable state. It needs time to adjust, time to settle, and time to allow this great spacetime network to truly take root between heaven and earth.

The starry sea is boundless, the sun and moon revolve, and time flows slowly by.

In the primordial world, from some unknown time, the sounds of battle and warfare between heaven and earth gradually increased.

The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan fought fiercely over a spiritual vein in the South China Sea. The Qilin Clan clashed with numerous smaller clans for control of the fertile Central Plains. Among the hundred clans, endless conflicts and wars raged over sacred mountains, blessed lands, rare treasures, and blood-soaked territories. Every day, lives were lost, and every moment, blood stained the earth. The more people died, the heavier the resentment became; the heavier the resentment, the stronger the malevolent aura; and the stronger the malevolent aura, the higher the calamity aura rose.

Between heaven and earth, the aura of calamity permeated the air, like a pot of water gradually boiling. At first, only a few scattered bubbles rose from the bottom of the pot, but later the whole pot was boiling, with water splashing everywhere.

The aura of calamity seeped from the depths of the earth, arose from the resentment of living beings, and spread from every slaughter, silently permeating the entire primordial world. Those with low cultivation levels only felt restless and their killing intent was hard to quell; those with high cultivation levels could clearly sense that a great calamity was brewing.

Amidst this chaotic world rife with calamity, a race of ferocious beasts rose to power.

The ferocious beast race is completely different from other races. They do not cultivate the Heavenly Dao, nor do they comprehend the Great Dao. They rely solely on instinct to devour the evil energy, calamity energy, and resentment energy of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves.

The denser the calamity energy between heaven and earth, the stronger the ferocious beasts become; the more blood is slaughtered, the more ferocious beasts there are.

In ordinary times, the ferocious beasts are unable to move due to the pressure of the clear energy of heaven and earth, and can only lie dormant in the deserts of the Western Regions and the cracks in the earth; but in the chaotic world where a great calamity is about to begin, they are like fish in water and tigers with wings.

Beast Emperor Shenni is the emperor of the ferocious beast clan.

The origin of Shenni is extremely ancient. He was not a being born after the creation of the world, but a ferocious creature born from the remnant soul of a fallen chaotic god and demon after falling into the primordial world and being tainted by the evil energy deep in the earth over countless years.

Shen Ni possesses both the ancient roots of chaotic gods and demons and the innate physique of a ferocious beast race that is compatible with calamity energy. The combination of the two creates the first ferocious god in the primordial world.

While all races were busy fighting amongst themselves, Shenni led his ferocious beast clan out of the Western Regions. The dark, overwhelming tide of beasts surged out of the desert like a flood bursting its banks, sweeping in all directions.

Wherever the beast tide passed, mountains and rivers were trampled flat, rivers were dried up, spiritual veins were devoured, and living beings were slaughtered. The ferocious beast race did not build cities or establish states; they had only one goal: to kill all living beings and devour all power that could be devoured.

Every time Shen Ni conquers a territory, he slaughters all the living beings in that territory, nourishing himself with the blood of all races and forging his own Dao foundation with the fortune of all races.

Nourished by the blood, flesh, and fortune of all living beings, Shen Ni's cultivation level rose at an alarming rate: early stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal, middle stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal, late stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal, and peak stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Then, Shen Ni broke through the threshold that had troubled countless Great Luo Golden Immortals.

On that day, a roar that shook the primordial world came from the depths of the Western Regions, and a blood-black pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing through the heavens and tearing through the firmament.

Within the pillar of light, Shen Ni's figure grew taller and taller, his body surging with liquid baleful energy and calamity energy. The two energies intertwined and merged within his body, transforming into a higher level of power.

Above the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Shen Ni also stepped into this realm. Unlike Zi Chen, who proved his Dao through time and space, Shen Ni devoured the fortune of all races and forcibly broke through the shackles of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm with endless blood and evil. His Dao is not heaven, not time, not space, but ferocity, a ferocity that devours everything, destroys everything, and reigns supreme over everything.

After his promotion, Shen Ni became even more arrogant.

He was no longer satisfied with the barren deserts of the Western Regions; he wanted the entire prehistoric world. He wanted to become the master of the prehistoric world, the supreme ruler of all races, and make all living beings in the world grovel at his feet, becoming food for the ferocious beast race.

Under Shen Ni's command, the ferocious beast army poured out in full force, expanding to more than a hundred times its previous size. The dark, surging beast tide advanced from west to east like a storm cloud, devouring and destroying everything in its path.

At this moment, all races finally panicked. They finally realized that this catastrophe could not be faced by any one race alone. The dragon race could not, the phoenix race could not, the qilin race could not. The ferocious beast race was not there to compete for territory, but to exterminate all races. So, the five major races stepped forward.

The Azure Dragon of the East is led by Meng Zhang; the Phoenix of the South by Ling Guang; the White Tiger of the West by Jian Bing; the Black Tortoise of the North by Zhi Ming; and the Qilin of the Central Plains by Kun Lun.

The five clan leaders are all peak-level Great Luo Golden Immortals, each wielding a portion of the power of heaven and earth. They are the five most powerful leaders among all races. The five of them jointly issued a summons, calling on all races to put aside their disputes and fight against the ferocious beast.

Thus, the Allied Army of All Races was established.
