59: Chapter 59 The Birth of a Bizarre Monster

Just as Su Ming completely conquered Xuanming City, undercurrents had already been surging across the entire Chaoming Realm, and a storm was brewing.

The trial-takers scattered across the continent were successively targeted for comprehensive annihilation by the two native dynasties, the Xiguang Dynasty and the Youying Dynasty, along with the forces of the Holy See and the Council.

They regarded all trial-takers as heretics who blasphemed the gods and subverted the world, hunting them down without mercy.

Under their encirclement and suppression, the trial-takers also began to split into two paths for survival.

One group of trial-takers banded together to form a coalition army, confronting their annihilation head-on and trying to fight for a sliver of survival amidst the flames of war;

Another group imitated Su Ming, transforming into solitary hidden dragons, concealing their tracks and avoiding the enemy's sharp edge. They did not confront the official army head-on, but instead secretly nibbled away at small border towns, gathered resources, accumulated foundations, and calmly waited for the opportunity to turn the tables.

The warfare and slaughter between the two factions intensified, with the flames of war raging for a thousand miles and burning across the four territories of the Chaoming Realm.

Yet in an unknown place, deep within the uninhabited dense forest at the border of the territories of the Xiguang and Shadow dynasties, a terrifying life was about to be conceived and born.

In the center of the dense forest's void, a rustic and vigorous giant egg floated quietly, its entire body circulating with a boundless and profound origin Dao charm.

All the wandering battle qi, spiritual qi, and other energies of the heaven and earth were being continuously devoured and absorbed by it.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A low and resonant heartbeat came from the giant egg, shaking the entire dense forest.

Suddenly, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth for ten thousand miles rolled backward and flowed back, crazily scouring and pouring into the giant egg like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, all turning into nourishment for its gestation.

Gorgeous and dazzling seven-colored spiritual mists circled and rose around the giant egg in layers, deriving into towering rosy clouds that spanned across the wilderness and the eight wastes.

Between the flowing rosy clouds, dense and ancient patterns crisscrossed and shone brilliantly, carrying a vast and distant Dao aura, as if the origin rules of this world had all gathered here.

"Dong——Dong——Dong——!"

A new round of heartbeat roars sounded, far heavier and more majestic than before.

This was by no means the bloodline pulsation of ordinary living beings, but the heartbeat rhythm that truly resonated with heaven and earth and harmonized with the Dao.

With every beat, it affected the veins of the entire heaven and earth to tremble, causing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to undulate and oscillate, rivers to flow backward, winds and clouds to roll back, and even the starlight hanging high in the sky to shift, sway, and flicker uncertainly.

The ultimate rhythm swept across the eight wastes, and the warm jade-colored patterns on the surface of the giant egg suddenly burst into gilded splendor, with countless obscure and ancient Heavenly Dao runes slowly circulating and flowing endlessly.

The phantom of the eggshell rose and fell, flickering on and off, faintly revealing thousands of visions of mountains and rivers, sun, moon and stars, the four seasons' reincarnation, and the birth and destruction of heaven and earth. It encompassed the complete origin of this miniature world and was the ultimate microcosm of the Heavenly Dao of the Chaoming Realm.

The next second, the towering rosy clouds pierced straight up into the dome, tearing apart thousands of layers of sea clouds and piercing through the endless firmament, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light spanning heaven and earth, reflecting the entire world.

...

At the extraterrestrial boundary fortress, all gazes were locked tightly on the void light screen.

Through the light screen, everyone clearly saw the phenomenon connecting heaven and earth, and vaguely caught sight of the hazy and majestic figure at the source of the phenomenon, causing their hearts to sink abruptly.

The whole audience instantly erupted in an uproar, and the academy mentors wore solemn expressions, their eyes filled with deep anxiety.

"How could a miniature plane breed such a terrifying monster? The situation is extremely abnormal! Should we terminate the trial immediately and recall all students?"

"The trial-takers only invested divine power avatars, and there is no real risk of falling. Moreover, desperate situations reveal the true colors of heaven's chosen, and only ultimate crises can screen out truly top-notch seeds."

"Then let's keep watching. We must trust them."

Everyone nodded and tacitly agreed.

This deity preparatory class trial was naturally born to screen top talents, and was by no means an ordinary experience.

The appearance of this monster was both a crisis and an opportunity.

If the difficulty wasn't great enough, how could one stand out from so many trial-takers and be favored by these divine mansions?

...

Far away on the city wall of Xuanming City, Su Ming also raised his eyes to gaze at the firmament, staring dead at the dazzling rosy light spanning heaven and earth.

Deep within the rosy light, it carried an oppressive feeling that inexplicably made one's heart palpitate.

"What is going on?"

Su Ming stood on the city wall, his brows tightly furrowed, his gaze fixed dead on the unusual movement in the firmament.

Although he could not peer into the situation within, he could clearly perceive that this terrifying aura spanning heaven and earth originated from the deepest world will of the Chaoming Realm, and was by no means artificially created momentum.

The sense of crisis in his heart suddenly climbed, and a sense of urgency spontaneously arose.

"It seems that the world will is beginning to resist."

The final madness of the world will is definitely not simple, and it might even breed a true god again.

Of course, this probability is very low, but breeding a demigod is still very likely.

At this thought, Su Ming's expression became completely solemn, and his heart inevitably grew tense.

...

The Xiguang and Shadow dynasties naturally could not sit idly by and ignore these phenomena.

Inside the imperial palace of the Youying Dynasty, Emperor Louis XVI slammed the table in fury, his imperial countenance enraged, and he shouted sternly to the civil and military officials below the steps: "Investigate! Thoroughly investigate at full speed! This king wants to know whether this phenomenon is secretly caused by those extraterrestrial god-blasphemers!"

Louis XVI was full of irritability and confusion, feeling that he was the most unlucky emperor through the ages.

On the day of his enthronement ceremony, the gods did not bestow blessings, and he was criticized by the masses for ascending the throne improperly and not belonging to the mandate of heaven;

When the imperial court's foundation was not yet stable, the god-blasphemers invaded, and the blasphemy rebellion swept across the country;

Now heaven and earth had undergone drastic changes, shocking phenomena filled the sky, the court and the public were in turmoil, the people's hearts were panic-stricken, and the mountains and rivers were swaying.

Successive natural and man-made disasters made him doubt himself for a time: could it be that he had truly angered the heavens and was unworthy of ruling this vast expanse of mountains and rivers?

He raised his eyes to gaze at the turbulent void, his eyes full of dejection, and a long sigh was full of powerlessness and despair: "Lord of Mingyuan above, could it be... that you have truly completely abandoned this world and abandoned your people?"

"Monster!!!"

Screams of panic and shrill roars resounded through the dense forest, and countless soldiers threw away their armor and fled in a panic, ignoring everything.

Their gazes looking back at the depths of the dense forest were filled with extreme panic, as if a peerless evil spirit that devoured all things was dormant behind them.

But death had already arrived, with nowhere to escape.

Pitch-black and viscous tentacles suddenly burst out from the shadows of the dense forest, like ghostly long snakes, instantly entangling the fleeing soldiers and dragging everyone back into the depths of the pitch-black dense forest.

The next moment, a spine-chilling, teeth-aching sound of chewing and swallowing came from the forest, bloody and bizarre, making one's hair stand on end.

In just a few breaths, the shrill screams were completely obliterated, and the dense forest instantly returned to a dead silence, terrifyingly quiet, as if the slaughter just now had never happened.

Soon, countless fierce beasts and soldiers walked out of the dense forest.

Their eyes were hollow and spiritless, their gazes dull and stiff, and their bodies were shrouded in faint bizarre black Qi. Obviously, they had lost their self-consciousness and had reduced to puppet walking corpses controlled by the origin fierce object.

The crowd of puppets stopped not at all, walking with neat and numb paces towards the direction of the Xiguang and Shadow dynasties.
