The messengerâs comment shook everyone to the core, progenitors included.
One could definitely confirm that he was a member of the Decemvirate - a heaven-defying being. Alas, he was serving as an errand boy?
This wasnât empty humility; he really meant it.
This made everyone wonder about the beings behind the darkness. No one could imagine how terrible they must be.
âImmortals?â One ancestor murmured.
This was the only thing people could come up with. Only immortals would be able to command these top progenitors.
The majority of the world didnât believe in the existence of immortals. Alas, this seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.
âJust wait and see. Our paths and goals are different, we just need to fight it out.â The demon said.
âYes.â The dark messenger nodded and became solemn: âLet me be the one to end this world.â
âBuzz.â The demon stopped speaking and raised his hand to gather the light affinity. Three Immortals seemed to be within his grasp right now, resulting in total cosmic control.
His body also erupted with a flame of the light affinity, chasing away all the darkness.
The inhabitants bathed under this soothing affinity once more. Their fear of darkness was pushed away. They looked up and saw the light illuminating the azure.
âMay the light bless us allâ¦â Not just the academy but the entire world started chanting. They bowed in reverence while reciting light mantras.
âBuzzâ¦â All living beings in Immortal Lineage along with the land sent out their light once more towards the tree demon.
âBoom!â He became the source of the light, an omnipresent ocean.
It washed over Immortal Lineage and gave everyone ample courage.
âWe must defend our world no matter what!â The frightened cultivators prior suddenly roared; their battle spirit surged again.
âIncredible.â The messenger saw the accumulation of the light and said: âNo one has reached your level with the light outside of Desolate Saint.â
âMake your move.â The tree demonâs light flame seemed eager to purify all darkness.
âVery well!â The messenger raised his hand and an ancient aura suddenly gushed out.
He seemed to be hidden in the river of time like a supreme lord. Nothing would ever be able to shake him. This aura actually left others in awe. Some couldnât help wanting to prostrate.
This dark being still possessed a pure aura that has nothing to do with the darkness.
Many ancestors started guessing his identity based on this particular aura.
âIâm starting.â The messenger started with a temporal palm seal.
âBring it!â The tree demon retaliated by raising both hands, directly facing the seal.
âBoom!â A temporal explosion erupted like a broken dam. Violent earthquakes happened all over Immortal Lineage.
âRumble!â The two have exchanged numerous blows in the blink of an eye. The battlefield became engulfed in terrible lights, ravaged by astral gales.
They were too fast for regular cultivators. Even the strongest ancestors didnât see anything clearly during this cataclysmic battle.
âFinish this as fast as possible!â Everlasting Jiang appeared and unleashed a devastating punch aimed at Coiling Dragon and Stone Harmony.
âBring it!â The two shouted while attempting to stop the blow together.
âCount me in.â A different progenitor joined in to stop Everlasting Jiang.
A while ago, a total of six progenitors tried to stop the sluice. Five outside of Stone Harmony have yet to show their appearance.
âBoom!â The three progenitors formed a triangular formation to stop Everlasting Jiang. The latter fell into a disadvantage regardless of his power.
âIâm coming.â Lotus Ancestor noticed this and wanted to assist him. Unfortunately, Cicada and Eight Treasures blocked her path.
âIâve heard of your exploits long ago.â A second unknown progenitor also joined these two.
These dark progenitors wanted to kill the powerful combatants in Immortal Lineage as fast as possible.
Lotus Ancestor had no choice but to rush forward with a green radiance. The other three progenitors also released their auras in response.
âBoom!â One against three - a monstrous battle ensued.
âBoom!â Bamboo Progenitorâs gigantic form blocked Orchid Sage and Luminous Master from helping her.
Meanwhile, Left Bank Progenitor appeared behind them to stop them from escaping.
âI apologize as seniors needing to bully the juniors. Alas, the circumstances dictate so.â Left Bank Progenitor shook his head and said.
The two new progenitors naturally were no match for these veterans. Unfortunately, this wasnât the time to force a fair duel.
Luminous Master and Orchid Sage exchanged glances.
âLetâs get started then, Senior.â Orchid Sage swung his brush and created an army of gods and devils.
Luminous Master exuded his golden radiance. The army of the sage became adorned with golden armors, seemingly unbreakable.
