Chapter 1098 1098 Dawn in the Darkness!
One stands amid the endless darkness of a shattered universe — the ultimate calamity, said to be the source of all darkness and the beginning of all misfortune.
The other is Jun Xiaoyao, clad in white robes purer than snow, his cultivation only at the Supreme realm.
By all logic, these two.
Could not even be called opponents.
They were not on the same level of existence at all.
This was no longer a difference between heaven and earth.
It was a difference in the very tier of their life forms.
The ultimate calamity had already transcended the form of ordinary living beings.
It was an inconceivable and bizarre existence.
A single drop of its black blood could corrupt an entire realm.
And yet, these two beings who could not possibly be compared on the same plane.
Were making a bet.
"Heh… heh heh…"
A cold laugh rang out, like the rough and hoarse laughter of ten thousand demons.
The ultimate calamity actually laughed.
It, who had never shown any human emotion, let out a cold and detached laugh.
One could see just how childish and foolish it found Jun Xiaoyao's gesture to be.
"To make a wager against me, the calamity — you insignificant ant, I admire your foolish courage."
"In that case, why not grant you one moment of mercy?"
The ultimate calamity slowly raised its hand, extended a single finger, and pointed it toward Jun Xiaoyao.
One finger extended!
Heaven and earth fell silent!
All things returned to ruin!
"Before the calamity, only the void remains!"
Wherever that finger passed, all matter dissolved into nothingness.
Even the space that had held nothing to begin with was reduced to nothingness.
Space itself ceased to exist.
It was an incomparably terrifying sight.
Even the most primordial particles that formed the world were broken down into void.
Facing this single finger.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression carried a trace of solemnity.
And then…
Boom!
The void behind Jun Xiaoyao split open directly!
A surge of destructive energy rushed out in all directions!
A towering and mighty demonic silhouette stepped forth from within!
Its terrifying aura bore down upon all the heavens and realms!
Like the most powerful demon king of destruction, crossing from an ancient age into the present!
"What is happening!?"
In the borderlands, everyone held their breath, eyes locked onto the scene displayed on the light screen.
"That is… the Divine Wicked Thought!"
A great figure from the immortal domain cried out in shock, eyes nearly bulging from their sockets in disbelief!
The one stepping out from behind Jun Xiaoyao was none other than the Divine Wicked Thought that the Azure Emperor had suppressed within Jun Xiaoyao's inner universe!
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao had actually directly unleashed the Divine Wicked Thought — releasing it completely!
"How is this possible — the Jun clan's divine son not only sealed the Divine Wicked Thought within himself, but can even control it?"
The leaders of countless factions in the immortal domain could not help but cry out in shock.
"Wait, before this, the Jun clan's divine son seemed to have used the identity of an otherworldly chaos body as a cover — could it be…"
Many people arrived at the same thought.
The Azure Emperor was the Chaos Azure Lotus.
Then there was only one possibility.
Jun Xiaoyao had obtained the Azure Emperor's inheritance!
"Hiss…"
Once they worked this out, many people understood.
Why Jun Xiaoyao had a chance of surviving.
The inheritance of a mythic emperor — how could it be ordinary?
These people had guessed part of it correctly.
But another part they had not.
Jun Xiaoyao had indeed relied on the Azure Emperor to suppress the Divine Wicked Thought.
But he could not control the Divine Wicked Thought.
The Divine Wicked Thought had no thought or reason — it only knew pure slaughter and destruction.
Whoever stood before it, it would slaughter.
And right now, compared to Jun Xiaoyao.
The ultimate calamity was obviously far more conspicuous.
Like the difference between the sun and a matchstick.
No one would first notice the ant at their feet.
So the Divine Wicked Thought went directly for the ultimate calamity!
Boom!
The Divine Wicked Thought struck immediately, its might shaking the nine heavens and ten earths, its demonic power reverberating across the universe!
This Divine Wicked Thought seemed to have walked out of a mythic age — its terrifying oppressive force was enough to make all realms collapse!
The divine thought of a single great emperor was enough to bring catastrophe upon heaven and earth, leaving rivers of blood stretching billions of miles.
Let alone the Divine Wicked Thought born from the transformation of a mythic emperor.
That power was enough to annihilate all the heavens!
One must know — back then, to stop the Divine Wicked Thought from destroying the Divine Ruins world, how many methods had the immortal domain devised?
But now, the vast majority of immortal domain cultivators actually hoped the Divine Wicked Thought would win.
Though the Divine Wicked Thought had once been a great threat to the Divine Ruins world.
Now, it was tied to Jun Xiaoyao's life and death.
Naturally, everyone sided with the Divine Wicked Thought.
The void was silently annihilated.
The Divine Wicked Thought's overwhelming energy, upon meeting that single finger, melted away like spring ice.
It was not a clash of law-based power — it was a crushing from a higher tier of existence.
Bang!
Though the ultimate calamity's finger was blocked by the Divine Wicked Thought.
The energy within the Divine Wicked Thought was also scattered by more than half.
After all, it was the undying obsession left behind by a mythic emperor, transformed into a thought of evil.
Compared to a true mythic emperor, there was simply no comparison.
Perhaps against a great emperor, the Divine Wicked Thought could crush them with ease.
But its opponent now was no great emperor.
It was the oldest and most powerful existence the other realm had ever known, across all of time!
"So this is what you were relying on — how laughable."
The ultimate calamity extended another finger.
Boundless black blood energy gathered, forming a pitch-black beam of light capable of destroying heaven and earth.
All things would wither and perish beneath that black radiance.
Roar!
The blood-colored light in the Divine Wicked Thought's eyes surged wildly, as though it had gone berserk!
It had no reason, no human thought.
It only knew that the being before it was provoking it, striking at it.
Surging chaos energy billowed forth, and a terrifying wave of wicked soul force swept across the universe, shattering countless great stars.
In the void, cracks tens of millions of miles long spread and extended!
When the Divine Wicked Thought raged, it seemed as though all worlds were on the verge of collapse!
This scene made the eyelids of many cultivators in the immortal domain twitch.
Fortunately, back then in the Divine Ruins world, Jun Xiaoyao had sealed the Divine Wicked Thought within himself.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Thinking of this, countless cultivators felt even greater respect and admiration for Jun Xiaoyao.
Even the older generation of cultivators felt the same.
Heroes are not defined by age!
Even the young can be heroes!
And within the Wutian Dark Realm, Jun Xiaoyao noticed with some surprise.
That the faith power within his inner universe was surging once again.
Yet the source of this faith power was not the Fate Divine Sect or the billions of believers in the other realm.
It came from — the immortal domain!
"It seems there are benefits to being a hero after all."
Jun Xiaoyao could not help but smile bitterly to himself.
He had originally been the last person who wanted to be a hero.
Yet in the end, he had become one.
All one could say was — fate has a way of playing tricks.
"But for now, the game is not yet over…"
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained grave.
Though the Divine Wicked Thought had temporarily held back the ultimate calamity.
He had not chosen to flee.
Because Jun Xiaoyao knew.
As long as they were within the Wutian Dark Realm, the ultimate calamity would never let him leave unharmed.
Jun Xiaoyao and the ultimate calamity.
Only one of them could remain!
"Third finger."
The ultimate calamity's tone was utterly indifferent as it extended another finger.
With this finger, endless black blood converged throughout the universe.
Countless eerie runes were imprinted across this entire expanse of space.
It was a force of great annihilation — black blood invaded all realms, corroding everything!
Even one as powerful as the Divine Wicked Thought howled madly under this single finger, growing visibly powerless.
Finally, accompanied by a thunderous explosion.
The Divine Wicked Thought shattered completely — countless soul forces scattered in all directions, and the roaring demonic sound shook the boundless universe to pieces!
Three fingers!
Only three fingers!
And the Divine Wicked Thought left behind by the mythic emperor had been destroyed.
At this moment, every living being in the immortal domain felt a chill rise in their throats.
The Divine Wicked Thought that had brought endless calamity upon the immortal domain.
Had been annihilated by the ultimate calamity in three fingers!
Only now did all the cultivators of the immortal domain truly understand.
Just what kind of terrifying existence was the so-called ultimate calamity of the other realm?
"Next, it is your turn."
The ultimate calamity was devoid of feeling or emotion.
It reached out a palm toward Jun Xiaoyao.
Like a dark universe overturning.
An endless dark world, wrapped in surging black mist, enveloped Jun Xiaoyao.
It was a crushing force against which there was no power to resist.
It was as though one faced the final movement of the world's destruction — with only despair and death to choose from!
But Jun Xiaoyao's expression did not change.
In his choices, there was no such thing as resignation!
He was about to make one last desperate stand!
And at this very moment!
Suddenly, the sound of divine Sanskrit chanting rang out.
The light of dusk shone down!
Like the light of dawn breaking through!
Scattering the heavy darkness!
A tall and slender figure in white robes stood before Jun Xiaoyao!
Shen Wang Wuhui!
