I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 1690

CHAPTER 1626: THE SOURCE OF THE DISASTER

“Haha, it’s not just that it shouldn’t exist in the Vast Expanse of the Worlds.”

The master’s fingertip hovered in mid-air, and he picked up a wisp of gray mist from Gu Xian’er’s sleeve.

As soon as the mist left Gu Xian’er’s body, it twisted and struggled like a living thing, its outer layer revealing extremely faint golden patterns, completely different from the chaotic airflow of the Vast Expanse of the Worlds, revealing a “cold and rigid” aura that didn’t belong to this realm

. “This aura on you… it shouldn’t be in the Vast Expanse of the Worlds.”

His bright, fiery eyes turned towards Gu Xian’er, his voice heavy, “It’s like the remnants left down from the ‘rift’ on the other side of the Realm of Reality, or perhaps some strange things clinging to it in certain areas.”

Gu Xian’er’s heart tightened: “Senior, have you encountered this aura before?”

How could she not remember encountering these things? During the war between the Punishing Heaven Alliance and the Ancient Hidden Civilization, she hadn’t even been to the battlefield beforehand, so it was impossible for her to have come across them.

“I’ve seen too much in the previous chaotic era.”

The Search Master suddenly chuckled, slowly sitting down on the stone bench. Behind him, clouds surged like a tidal wave, then the gray mist at his fingertips suddenly exploded, transforming into fragments of light. Each fragment seemed to reflect a shattered image.

Among them were figures clad in immortal armor wielding swords on the sea of lightning, black-robed figures commanding countless demons traversing chaos, giants clad in golden light lifting the sun and flying across the sky, and a magnificent mecha wielding a golden blade charging through a shimmering starry civilization…

He calmly said, “That year, the Burning Heaven War Immortal, disbelieving in evil, led three thousand immortal soldiers to guard the entrance to the Chaos Sea, intending to block the path of the Slayer. He burned all his immortal bones to unleash the ‘Burning Heaven Formation,’ the flames of which heated even the chaotic air currents. But the Slayer unleashed a single ripple, and his immortal fire couldn’t even withstand half a breath, engulfing all three thousand immortal soldiers, turning them all into ashes in the chaotic tribulation.”

He paused, his azure flames darkening: “And there’s the Lord of the Underworld River, who controls the Underworld River’s Ten Thousand Ghosts. He originally intended to use the Yin-Yang River’s bottom to conceal his aura. But the Slayer tracked him down by the slightest trace of ‘fragment’ on his body, and with one strike, even the Underworld River’s essence was dried up—now you should know how dazzling your aura is?”

“And there’s the ancient supreme being of the founding clan, and the most powerful mecha battle treasure in the Cloud Sky Civilization…”

“Are all these seniors from the Lu Jin era?”

Before Gu Xian’er could finish speaking, she saw the Search Master let out a bitter laugh. Although he was a middle-aged man, a phantom image of his skull flickered behind him.

“Lu Jin? The Lu Jin who died in the previous era during the reckoning, could be ranked from the head of the Chaos Sea to the tail.”

“Even if Lu Jin reached the supreme shattering realm, or possessed the so-called authority of the Heavenly Dao, becoming a minion, what could he possibly change?”

He tapped the stone table, causing ripples in the tea on the table, revealing a dark gray aura. “The Burning Heaven War Immortal could incinerate chaos, the Lord of the Underworld could suppress all ghost spirits, the Lord of the Underworld could come before the Great Qing’s reckoning, and yet they were all cut down like weeds? Even someone as powerful as Lu Jin was like ashes.”

Gu Xian’er was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, “Senior, do you know what ‘fearful aura’ is?”

Upon hearing this, the Master of Search fell silent, and the entire Cloud Sea seemed to quiet down as well. After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth: “The terrifying aura is what the Vast Worlds call it. In the Land of Truth, this thing is merely one of the ‘supernatural’ substances they use to ‘capture’ the heavens and earth.”

He conjured a dark strand of search energy from his fingertip. As soon as the aura appeared, the surrounding Cloud Sea began to freeze and disintegrate, a kind of illusory, almost unreal, multifaceted, and unpredictable energy surging forth.

“The Land of Truth’s supernatural substances, among billions of strands, the first, upon falling into the Vast Worlds, can bring about boundless desolation. In the previous chaotic era, a strand of supernatural substance fell in the Western Continent, and in just a breath, that continent became a Death Zone that even lingering souls dared not approach.”

“Western Continent?”

Gu Xian’er asked doubtfully.

The Master said, “The Western Continent is a name given to a chaotic era of heaven and earth. There are eight extremes, and the Western Continent is the westernmost point of heaven. The Western Continent is vast; even with your current divine abilities, it would take several years to cross it.”

Hearing this, Gu Xian’er’s heart trembled once again.

She was now a being at the End of the Path, one of the most powerful beings in the entire Vast Expanse of the World. Yet, even she needed several years to cross that Western Continent. What kind of scene was this Vast Expanse of the World? Gu Xian’er’s pupils suddenly contracted, and a memory of Chen Feng surged up. When she was in the Upper Realm, she had once entered the Absolute Yin Heaven. The Absolute Yin energy there corroded her bones and decayed her soul. At that time, she wondered why such a calamity could only be resolved by the “Human Ancestor.”

Although the matter of the Absolute Yin Heaven behind her had been resolved by Gu Changge, this suspicion did not dissipate in her heart. Now, thinking about it, how could such a strange aura have arisen within the rules of the vast universe? What

frightened her even more was that when the Punishing Heaven Alliance attacked the Ancient Treasure Civilization, the aura of the “Absolute Yin Heavenly Monarch” that surrounded him seemed to be indistinguishable from the bone-chilling Yin Heaven of the Absolute Yin Heaven. Yet,

in this chaotic era, the Absolute Yin Heavenly Monarch had never appeared in the vast universe. So how did the Absolute Yin Heaven appear in the upper realm at that time? Who orchestrated this?

Gu Xian’er suddenly felt a little belatedly aware, and a chill ran down her spine.

“Absolute Yin Heaven’s aura… Absolute Yin Heavenly Monarch…”

She whispered to herself, her fingertips unconsciously gripping the stone table: “Could it be that the Land of Truth, having already used these so-called anomalous substances to set up a trap in the Vast Worlds?”

The Search Master’s eyes flickered with a flash of green fire, then dismissed her worried speculation: “You’re overthinking it. With the mindset of the Land of Truth, they would never rely on these methods to gain control of the Vast Worlds and set up a trap. They would absolutely crush their opponents with overwhelming strength; they wouldn’t need any kind of trap or scheme.”

Gu Xian’er remained silent.

She still couldn’t understand why, if the Absolute Yin Heaven shouldn’t have existed in the Vast Worlds, it had appeared in the Upper Realm at that time. Knowing that the Upper Realm at that time hadn’t even merged with the Immortal Realm, and True Immortals hadn’t emerged, those who had achieved enlightenment were already invincible.

For the entire world of Cang Mang, this is considered a terrifying and insurmountable calamity, appearing in a world where even immortal beings are scarce. Now, looking at it, haven’t you felt a shiver down your spine?
